Chapter 1069 Something is wrong

Cao Zijian heard Mei Feng move: "Yes, I also have doubts about this matter. But except for the blocked waterway in Canglan, Huashanghang's business in other areas has not been targeted. It doesn't seem to be directed at me."

Jiang Fan said: "Don't be anxious first, listen to me. Secondly, what I gave Wang Su was a life-saving method. Since she used it, she must have sensed the danger. In such an emergency, she can just protect herself. Where? If she has the time, she can arrange the evidence properly, unless she has premeditated it, but Wang Su's purpose is to disturb the entire Xiahou family, and it is completely nonsense to do something like this to scare the second lady, and her brain will not act like this. "

Cao Zijian couldn't help but nodded when he heard this: "Yes, if you had planned it in advance, you should have chosen a better opportunity. This will have no effect other than making Commander Xiahou vigilant."

"Thirdly, don't you find it strange that the King of Wei actually had no objection and allowed Xiahou and Cao Yuan to do unreasonable things?"

Cao Zijian said: "Xia Houchun did once cry in the court about the death of his legitimate son, bursting into tears. Now that he has been assassinated again, it is not easy for his father and the imperial master to interfere..."

Jiang Fan said: "This is even more unreasonable. Since there is evidence that this matter was committed by the second wife's family, it is enough to interrogate and arrest the person. After all, it is a family matter. It is not necessary to go to war in such a big way."

Cao Zijian frowned: "It's very unreasonable, but why exactly?"

Jiang Fan said: "Unless there is a reason we don't know."

At this moment, Jiang Qi suddenly came in, and behind her was another person, the head of the Shui Mouse Hall, Zhao Wentao.

Seeing Jiang Qi, Cao Zijian's eyes fluctuated a little, but he didn't say anything. Jiang Qi, on the other hand, looked calm and turned a blind eye.

Zhao Wentao fell to his knees as soon as he saw Jiang Fan: "The villain Zhao Wentao pays homage to the prince."

"Get up, let me ask you something." Jiang Fan said directly without saying anything, "What's wrong with the water rat?"

Zhao Wentao said: "In recent days, the river has been suddenly closed for interrogation, and many brothers have been arrested. But the strangest thing is that in the past, if you gave money to this kind of thing, you could basically release it. After all, we water rats have nothing to do with each other. Don't worry about it. But this time, no one knows where the arrested brothers are, and even the minor officials we know seem to have been transferred suddenly. "

Jiang Fan pondered for a moment and looked at Jiang Qi: "This matter probably hadn't happened before you came out, but did you find anything else wrong? For example, the Black Sail Gang brothers disappeared."

Jiang Qi was stunned for a moment: "It is true, but it's just a few small bosses. I don't think it's a big deal. I just ordered a search."

Jiang Fan frowned and said, "Then, we must be among the many cargo ships backlogged here."

Cao Zijian nodded: "There are thousands of cargo ships backlogged here, and more than two hundred of them are our business."

Jiang Fan's eyes became a little deeper: "No... something is wrong..."

Jiang Qi said: "Brother, do you think this matter has something to do with us?"

Jiang Fan pondered and paced indoors.

"Why, it was Xiahou Ting who died... The cause of his death was related to me. King Wei and the Imperial Preceptor knew it, and Xiahou Chun also knew it... Why did Wang Su suddenly use the brocade bag and point the evidence to the second lady, and Wang Su Su is also related to me...why Xia Houchun was assassinated, and it happened just after the Xiahou Ting incident...why Cao Yuan made such a big fuss that everyone knew..."

Although he was mumbling to himself, the information he revealed was slightly shocking.

At this moment, Wang Er suddenly rushed in: "Gang leader, it's bad, all our cargo ships have been controlled by soldiers."

Jiang Qi's expression suddenly changed, recalling Jiang Fan's words just now: "Brother, this..."

Jiang Fan looked at Wang Er: "Apart from ours, where are the other ships?"

Wang Er looked anxious: "No, only our 207 cargo ships have been detained."

Jiang Fan's eyes flashed, and he finally let out a breath: "It seems... these goods are going to be scrapped..."

Cao Zijian was shocked: "What happened? Can you tell me?"

Jiang Fan shook his head: "It's just a vague guess and needs personal proof. Brother Jianren, I asked you to protect Mrs. Shangguan before. You should have established contact with her. Send someone quickly to contact Xiaohong's mother-in-law. Just ask one question Is there something wrong with Shangguan's family?"

Cao Zijian clearly felt that something serious was going on at this moment, so he did not delay immediately and immediately arranged for someone to pass the message.

But at this moment, someone asked to see him again.

When someone came in, Jiang Fan's face darkened. The person who came was the commander of Wei Xiaohong's soldiers.

"Commander Yang..." Jiang Fan said, "Shouldn't you and Xiaohong go to Northern Xinjiang?"

Commander Yang said: "Your Highness arranged for me to assist the Shangguan family."

"Assist?" Jiang Fan's expression changed: "The word assist is a bit subtle. And...how do you know that I am here?"

Commander Yang suddenly knelt down on one knee and said, "Commander of the Shangguan Family Guards, Yang Mo, pays homage to the Young Master."

Everyone was stunned and felt strange about her attitude. Only Jiang Fan slowly looked enlightened: "It turns out he is from the Shangguan family..."

Yang Mo said: "I have been since childhood. Yang Mo didn't know that the young master was here, so he just followed the Second Highness."

Cao Zijian was stunned: "Me?"

Yang Mo said: "Your Highness, you have been targeted by many people. I have helped you deal with a lot of them behind your back, but I don't know if they are clean or not."

Cao Zijian stood up suddenly: "What do you mean by this?"

Jiang Fan suddenly waved his hand to stop him: "Yang Mo, what's going on with Shangguan's family?"

Yang Mo said: "Sir, most of the Shangguan family has evacuated, but the wife refuses to leave. Now, the wife has gone to the palace. And the Shangguan family's residence is besieged..."

Jiang Fan's eyes suddenly flashed: "As expected."

He stared at Yang Mo and said, "If my guess is correct, did the second lady's family confess?"

Yang Mo said: "That's right. The second lady's family confessed that everything was done by the second young master Cao Zijian. He contacted the second lady and proposed to kill Xia Houting and promote the second son Xia Houlan to the throne. The condition is that Xia Houlan supports the second highness in the future. The second lady is decisive He refused and wanted to tell Marshal Xiahou about the incident. Unexpectedly, at this stall, Xiahou Ting had encountered an accident, and Mrs. Wang who came to visit was also there. As evidenced by the secret letter from the Second Highness, the second lady's family could not argue. In order to fight for a chance of survival, the second wife's brother fled, not wanting to be accused of colluding with Jiangyang thieves to assassinate Marshal Xiahou. Obviously, the so-called Jiangyang thieves were originally ordered by His Highness and put the blame on others. Now the second wife's brother took the initiative to surrender and explained the whole story. , is temporarily in jail. At the moment... His Highness’s residence and business are under official control, and the city is being searched for His Highness’s traces.”

Cao Zijian was stunned at the time: "This, this is complete nonsense! It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist! Where did the secret message come from!"
