inspire-indiana Chapter 210 Confession
Chapter 210 Confession
I felt a chill down my spine after making a wish.
She looked at Bei Yuan and asked slowly, "Who was the person who was arrested?"
When she left with Cheng Huan today, she went to look for Wu Shiming, so the person who was arrested was not Wu Shiming.
The mastermind behind the smuggling of salt was the crown prince.
The prince now wants to remove himself from this matter and kill two birds with one stone by giving Sun Wenjie a great credit.
Therefore, that person's status will not be low.
Possibly, second only to Wu Shiming.
"His surname is Xin, and people on the street call him Xin San. Ever since I learned that someone in the capital was smuggling salt, I have ordered people to investigate the matter. It took a lot of hard work to catch this Xin San. You must tell Sun Wenjie to interrogate him carefully and thoroughly. If he has made achievements, I can speak for him in the court, right?"
Bei Yuan spoke with a smile.
Xu Yuan looked at it and couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
Bei Yuan and Bei Yao look somewhat similar, but their smiles are completely different.
Beiyao doesn't like to laugh, but when he does, his eyes are particularly beautiful, making people feel like spring breeze.
Bei Yuan was different. He was smiling all the time, but that smile was not genuine and made people feel on guard.
Xu Yuan looked away and nodded, "I will definitely convey your wishes, Prince."
"This is what I asked you to say to Sun Wenjie. As for you, I have other plans."
Bei Yuan said, and clapped his hands.
Cheng Huan came in holding a document tray and stopped in front of Xu Yuan.
Bei Yuan said: "This is the token of Wenhua Palace. I have already asked for permission. From now on, you will be my companion and can enter and leave Wenhua Palace freely. As long as you are talented and rank first in the assessment of Wenhua Palace, you can take part in the national examination and enter the government next year."
Xu Yuan looked at the token on the silk and did not take it. Instead, he said, "But I didn't do anything."
"I have said that as long as the Third Prince can cancel the engagement, I will help you enter the Wenhua Palace. No matter who deserves the credit, my goal has been achieved. You can keep this token with peace of mind."
Bei Yuan looked at Xu Yuan with pride in his eyes.
That day in the Poetry Pavilion, he knew that Xu Yuan had real talent and knowledge.
But Xu Yuan was too arrogant, and he remained unmoved despite attempts by so many people in the capital to win him over.
So, he has been waiting, waiting for this person to encounter difficulties and kill his arrogant heart.
Now is the best.
He solved the most pressing problem that needed to be solved when making a wish.
Gradually, Xu Yuan will realize that in the capital, only by becoming a disciple of the prince can one achieve wealth and glory and rise to prominence.
Hearing Bei Yuan's words, Xu Yuan no longer hesitated. After taking the token, he bowed and said, "Xu Yuan thanks the prince."
"Allowing you to enter Wenhua Palace may indeed be a bit troublesome for others, but for me, it is just a matter of talking. You should know that if you follow me, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."
Xu Yuan nodded and said, "Yes."
After putting the token away, Xuyuan also saw another thing on the tray.
To be more precise, it was a letter.
Seeing Xu Yuan's eyes fall on the letter, Bei Yuan said naturally: "There is one more thing I need you to do."
Xu Yuan clasped his fists and said, "Prince, please feel free to speak."
"There is an envelope with a confession inside. Go to the Dali Temple tomorrow and have Xin San sign it."
Bei Yuan said, picking up the hot tea on the table, taking a sip and saying, "I have already taken care of Xin San's place, you just need to show up."
"Don't we need to tell Sun Wenjie about this?"
"No, he just needs to take this confession letter to receive the reward."
Bei Yuan finished speaking, and then said: "This is the key to his promotion, and also the key to your foothold in the court. Master Xu, I can only do this much while paving the way for you."
"Xuyuan understands the prince's painstaking efforts, and this matter will be resolved."
Xu Yuan took the letter, put it into his sleeve and said, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
All that needed to be said had been said, and Bei Yuan had no intention of keeping anyone here any longer. He waved his hand, letting Cheng Huan see Xu Yuan off, and then continued to drink tea.
After walking out of the tea room, Xu Yuan followed Cheng Huan's steps. After walking a few steps, he saw a guard leading a man in black to the tea room on another corridor.
She couldn't help but take one more look, and then followed Cheng Huan out of the Prince's Mansion.
When I got home, Wu Shiming was not there.
Xu Yuan returned to the house and immediately opened the letter. After reading the entire confession, he folded the envelope and put it between the pages of the book.
The confession letter given by Bei Yuan was very detailed.
After Xin San signed the agreement, he admitted the entire crime of smuggling salt.
Moreover, it also vaguely mentioned that the private salt came from Hanzhou.
It seems that the prince is not only preparing to make Xin San admit to the smuggling of salt, but also preparing to accuse Xin San of collaborating with the enemy and using war to support war.
In this way, he could get away with it unscathed, continue to be a good prince in the eyes of the people and ministers, and Beiyao would no longer have any leverage over him.
In addition, he could take advantage of Sun Wenjie's contribution in solving this major case, and after Sun Wenjie was promoted to a higher position, he could help him bring down the Song family.
It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.
Thinking of this, Xuyuan’s heart couldn’t help but sink.
The prince is not completely without schemes and tricks.
Moreover, she always felt that there was something strange about this matter.
But she couldn't say exactly what was wrong.
I couldn't figure it out, so I just made a wish and put the matter aside for now.
Thinking of the fact that the third prince was named Cheng Wang, Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then stood up and went out. Standing in the yard, he called out softly, "Young Master Qin?"
After the sound, the yard was still empty.
Xu Yuan glanced around and raised his voice again, "Master Tan?"
This time is different from before.
As she finished her words, a series of footsteps were heard on the roof, and then a dark shadow jumped down from the roof.
Young Master Tan clasped his fists and said, "Young Master Xu."
Xu Yuan was not surprised to see Gongzi Tan, but she still said, "It seems that someone has really arranged to monitor me."
Upon hearing this, Master Qin immediately explained, "Master has instructed that you do not need to report to him where Master Xu went, who he met, and what he said. I am accompanying you only to ensure Master Xu's safety."
This was also Bei Yao's original intention, and Gongzi Qin did not lie.
From the moment Xu Yuan left Hanzhou, she has been following Xu Yuan.
Beiyao would only occasionally ask about Xuyuan's recent situation and would not ask about anything else.
"That's right. He has always been a man of integrity and would never do such a mean thing."
Master Tan did not answer.
Xu Yuan said, "Your master said that if I want to see him, I can call you. I want to see him now. Is it convenient?"
"This..." Young Master Qin was a little embarrassed.
Xu Yuan saw it and understood it, "It's okay, you go ask. If it's not convenient, forget it. If it's convenient, I can go find him."
Xu Yuan was a little worried about Bei Yao.
Bei Yao must have paid a heavy price to make the Queen give in.
At this moment, Beiyao must have suffered a lot of grievances.
Gongzi Qin hesitated for a while, but when he saw Xu Yuan's expression, he finally made up his mind and said, "It's not dark yet, Master Xu, why don't you go to Ronghua Garden to have a look? Master Xu should be resting in Ronghua Garden today."
