Chapter 288: Starter
Chapter 288
Thinking of how badly he was left out during this period of time, the boy couldn’t help sighing, “When will my second brother marry me a sister-in-law? They say that when a man gets married, his heart will be settled and people can take care of the family. Some, you can be milder."
Ayuan touched her nose with hearing.
The third son is really young and naive.
Many men will have these changes after they get married. Yes, but those who care for the family, are gentle, they are all left to other people's wives, what does it have to do with the younger brothers?
Oh, it's true—maybe I won’t have time to talk to my brother at all.
Wu Ran didn't know the cruel thoughts in A Yuan's heart. He only sat in the chair with a cup of tea and waited obediently for his second brother to come out.
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, he finally got the second brother out of the study.
However, at exactly this time, a young man walked over and said: "The prince has asked someone to invite the grandson to speak in the foreign study."
Grandfather looking for him?
Wu Zhao heard this and went over without delay.
Wu Ran sighed and looked at the back of his second brother leaving.
Sure enough, I couldn’t play chess with my second brother today.
Wu Chao soon came to the front yard.
After the little girl told her, the door of the study was opened, and Wu Chao walked in and saluted the old man with thin cheeks sitting behind the book case.
"Grandfather—"
Then he turned slightly, raised his hand and saluted again: "Second Uncle."
The man he called the second uncle wore a large, light-colored long gown, and he was born with a handsome and romantic appearance. He was nearly forty years old without a beard and no old man. The bun was combed neatly and brightly, but what was used to tie the hair was not something of gold or jade, but a beautifully trimmed plum branch. A few yellow plums on the branch were still blooming, fresh and elegant, but also showing a bit of unruly. Angry.
The Wu family had a good skin, and among the brothers and sisters of Wu Jingming's generation, the most beautiful one was the second master Wu Jingling.
This is a beautiful and self-aware, and he likes to show his beauty to others. He always pays great attention to dressing up. Even at this age, he is still unwilling to give young people the opportunity to show their beauty. people.
It's just that at this moment, he no longer has the relaxed smile on his face. He looked up at his nephew, and barely showed a complicated but guilty smile.
Wu Chao saw in his eyes, he was a little bit puzzled.
What disgusting things did the second uncle do?
"Sit down and talk." King Dingnan said.
"Yes."
Wu Chao Yiyan sat down before asking, “I don’t know why my grandfather called his grandson to come here?”
"On your way into Beijing, the person who shot you a dark arrow while in the chaos has been found out—" King Dingnan looked at the second son sitting there coldly as he spoke. "Let’s talk about it."
Seeing this scene, Wu Chao couldn't help being surprised.
Could it be that...the man behind him is the second uncle?
Although the second uncle is considered to be the closest elder in the house to him, the young man’s imagination is still somewhat unacceptable under the previous stimulation.
After all, as far as he is concerned, he is in a state of "everything is possible" in his mind.
But it was only a moment, and reason overwhelmed this unconstrained association.
Father has been in Beijing all the year round. He has only taken over the affairs of the clan for a few years, and part of the power has always been in the hands of the second uncle—
It was naturally impossible for the grandfather to explain the fake death incident through him. Under this situation, most of the people who handled the arrangement were the second uncle.
The man in black who wanted to take advantage of the chaos was obviously due to leaking the news. Where did the news leak? From now on, it should have fallen on the second uncle's head.
Sure enough, I listened to my second uncle sighed and looked at him and said: "Before my second uncle did not know that such an incident happened in the middle of the journey. After your grandfather mentioned it, he did not dare to be careless at all, and immediately took responsibility for the matter. Everyone checked carefully... until the end of the investigation, I realized that someone had accidentally leaked the plan..."
"Careful?" Wu Chao keenly caught the key point.
Such an important top-secret plan, is there any reason to accidentally leak?
"Yes... I also blame my lax employment of people on weekdays, so that this kind of error occurred." Wu Jingling's expression is complicated and said: "This person is my pro-accompaniment, and often enters and exits the Yingyue Tower with me..."
Yingyue Tower is a famous brothel in the city, and it is also the only place where Wu Chao would “visit”—the real owner behind this brothel is Wu Jingling.
This brothel is on the bright side, but its more function is to secretly collect intelligence and various sources of news.
Both King Dingnan and Wu Chao knew this.
Although Wu Chao once felt that this was a means his second uncle thought of when he was often scolded for visiting the brothel too frequently—by operating the information building, he went to the brothel openly.
Under the gaze of his own Laozi and nephew, Wu Jingling continued to say: "...but who knows that he came and went, he secretly gave birth to the same prostitute named Lanxiang...he did not dare to find out what happened to him. If he concealed it again, he confessed that he had mentioned the matter with Lan Xiang after he was drunk once."
Wu Zhao frowned subconsciously while thinking.
According to this, the problematic...is this Lanxiang in Yingyue Tower?
And the second uncle’s pro-accompaniment said that he accidentally said it, but it is very likely that it was deliberately drunk.
"When I heard about this, I asked someone to interrogate Lan Xiang secretly, as expected-this person did have a problem." Wu Jingling said this, vaguely indignant: "After this woman confessed, she was originally a former Lizhou provincial governor. Girl, after Lizhou broke the city, she was still very young, changed her name and changed her surname, and got mixed into the Yingyue Building, waiting for an opportunity to avenge my Wu family bloodline."
The governor of Lizhou City desperately resisted and refused to admit surrender. After the Wu family's army invaded the city, the governor killed himself on the tower.
This past event, Wu Chao had heard of it.
And his second uncle's words, he also fully understood.
The leaker is the close relatives around the second uncle, and the person who doesn't have any deliberate rhetoric is the second uncle’s Lanxiang in the Yingyue Tower—that is, the descendant of the former Lizhou Cister.
In short, both of these things are under the eyes of the second uncle.
"After she learned about the general plan on the way to Beijing, she ordered an old servant left by her father to follow along, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to hurt your life-this old servant has also been caught, and she is very conscious of what she did. Confessed."
Wu Jingling looked at his nephew, a little bit slanderous, but more guilty, "On the whole, this is the case. In the final analysis, this is not the second uncle's, A Yuan, otherwise you will be overwhelmed by the second uncle?"
The young man said earnestly: "If I really beat my second uncle, I'm afraid my second uncle can't bear it."
