"Reporting to Patriarch, Zhu Hongsheng's attendants, as well as the manservant and shopkeeper of the Chu Ironware Shop, have all been captured by us. However, Zhu Hongsheng and Kang Changan's whereabouts are unknown. Their attendants and subordinates are all stubborn and unwilling to divulge their whereabouts! Oh, right! And that Zhu Hongsheng is a fake name. His real name is Zhu Xicheng! "
Taiyuan, the Wang family's ancestral home.
A tall man in black with a round collar cupped his fist and reported to Wang Yu.
Other than the two of them, Princess Tong 'an and Wang Bing were also in the room.
The pursuit of Zhu Xicheng and Kang Changan involved a secret mission of Yanhuang College, as well as the safety of Li Tai, the Tang Empire's Prince. Therefore, Wang Bing had only used his authority as the master of the family to help Dugu Feiying catch the spies. As for the details, he hadn't told anyone else in the family! It wasn't that he didn't trust them, but that he didn't dare to, because the slightest mistake could doom the Wang family!
Even so, Wang Yu had still told Princess Tong 'an and Wang Bing about the inside story. Firstly, these two were his closest relatives and were absolutely trustworthy. Secondly, these two were experienced and quick-witted people. After knowing the inside story, wouldn't they be able to help Wang Yu come up with a solution?
"Humph! Zhu Xicheng? I remember that there's a Turkic tribe called the Shatuo tribe, and most of the tribesmen have the surname Zhu. Combined with today's situation, there's really something going on behind these two people! "
Wang Yu's expression turned cold. He snorted and said, "Since those servants refuse to speak, Chengwu, immediately hand them over to Dugu Feiying of Tongfu Inn. They're the Imperial Army, and they have plenty of ways to make those servants talk! After you go, report the current situation to Dugu Feiying. Tell him that the Wang family will do their best to pursue Zhu Xicheng and Kang Changan until they're found! "
Wang Chengwu. This tall man was called Wang Chengwu, and he was the commander of the Wang family's Shadow Guards. He was a grandmaster who had been trained by Wang Yu!
Hearing this, Wang Chengwu saluted respectfully and said, "Yes! Master! "
Then, he turned and left.
The room fell into a brief silence.
With the revelation of Zhu Xie Cheng's identity and the fact that Zhu Xie Cheng and Kang Chang 'an's subordinates refused to reveal their whereabouts, this undoubtedly confirmed that these two people's backgrounds were not clean!
"Master, do you think we caught the wrong person? Zhu Xecheng and Kang Changan are just merchants. Maybe they aren't the Turkic spies the Imperial Army is looking for? "
Unexpectedly, Princess Tong 'an suddenly spoke at this moment.
When Wang Yu heard this, he frowned and said without thinking, "Madam, how is that possible? If the two of them were not Turkic spies, why did they conceal their identities and hide now? If this was not a guilty conscience, what else could it be? This old man suspects that these two are not only Turkic spies, but Turkic spies that have been hiding in Taiyuan City for many years. Otherwise, how could my Wang Clan not have found their whereabouts even after mobilizing all its forces? This group of people must have accomplices in the city! "
Even though Wang Yu's words were reasonable, Princess Tong 'an still shook her head and said, "Master, they concealed their identities and hid here and there. Perhaps they did something illegal in their daily lives, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they are Turkic spies. Moreover, Master, don't you think that they were exposed too easily? If they were Turkic spies, how could the Imperial Army, which has only been in Taiyuan City for a day, have caught them? "
Wang Yu couldn't help but be taken aback by Princess Tong 'an's words. This was a contradictory topic. According to his previous analysis, Zhu Xie Cheng and Kang Chang 'an were Turkic spies who had been hiding in Taiyuan City for many years and had many accomplices. But if this was the case, how could they have been discovered as soon as Dugu Feiying and the Imperial Army arrived in Taiyuan City? Then weren't these two Turkic spies too 'weak'?
Wang Bing was an experienced and knowledgeable man, and he had seen all sorts of 'monsters' in his life. Seeing Wang Yu's conflicted expression, he said,
"Yu-er, the Princess's words are not without reason. In this old man's view, whether it was Zhu Xie Cheng or Kang Chang 'an, they were exposed too easily. It's like someone behind the scenes deliberately pushed them out to draw the attention of the Imperial Army and the Wang Clan!
If this is true, then the faction hiding in Taiyuan City cannot be underestimated. King Wei's party will probably be in trouble on this trip to Taiyuan!
But regardless, Zhu Xie Cheng and Kang Chang 'an are the only clues we have. If we find them as quickly as possible, we might be able to find a clue to the person behind the scenes! "
