Chapter 1103 Chapter 1103(1/2)
Feelings of Heaven and Earth(121)
Tongtong handed Meng Shiniang a cup of tea, pushed the brazier towards the other person, and listened quietly to the other person's words.
Meng Shiniang sipped her tea and suddenly asked: "Why does the concubine think that I am an insider?"
Tongtong turned the cup in his hand and sighed, "As long as you do something, you have to keep in touch. Even Tian Da doesn't know, whose hand did he get it? After checking the relationship, the most unlikely thing is the most likely one.
It's possible. It is said that actors are ruthless and bitches are unrighteous. But you, the old madam, are just a middle-aged man. You are not a good-looking person, and you run a small brothel. There are
Some women are not particularly stunning, their business is neither good nor bad, everything is ordinary. Maybe they have trained and trained the girls who came in so well, but none of them have revealed that they are related to the Salesian Bureau, which is not enough.
Don't you have the ability? You are meticulous in your work and are a good candidate."
As he spoke, he looked at him: "If you even hide such a thing from your wife and children, the person who has done it must be someone who can be entrusted with life and death. Therefore, your relationship with him is definitely not simple."
I see.
Meng Shiniang nodded, "I did get married in my early years, but after everyone in my family was killed, my husband's family divorced me. When I was homeless and about to starve to death just for a bite to eat, the Tian family gave me porridge.
, so I went. But there were too many people squeezing to beg for that bowl of porridge. They were crowded and trampled. I was pulled into the car and was about to be transported to the mass grave, but I was picked up by Xiao Langjun.
I saw him, he was only a few years old at the time, running after the mule cart, shouting that there were still people alive. I was saved like this. The old lady knew that my life was tough, and my husband happened to be in poor health, so she saved him.
I was placed in my husband's house to serve him. He was kind-hearted and treated me like an eldest sister. Later, I met an old man from the same family, and I was so fascinated that I actually married him... Unfortunately, I was once again entrusted to an unworthy person.
In the troubled times, he abandoned me and sold me to raise money, and I entered prostitution. It was not until the shopkeeper of the grain store accidentally saw me and sent a letter to my family that my husband found out. Later, he
At Zui Chun Tower, I stopped accepting guests and became a madam..."
This refers to the relationship with the Tian family.
Tongtong nodded: "So, you knew from the beginning what this Zuichunlou was going to do?"
"I just thought it was to collect information. At that time, there was Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Tian family's business was very big. If the information was not well-informed, the slightest mistake could cost the life of the whole family. I thought he had contacts with Southern Tang Dynasty in private.
.”
Yeah! Reasonable.
"Until the past two years, almost all descendants of the Southern Tang Dynasty have died, but the news will still get out. But I don't know if he found some backer later, or if I guessed wrong from the beginning."
Lin Yutong nodded: "How do you deliver the news? He has business to take care of, and he has correspondence with you. But he can't stay in one place for a long time. So, how do you send the news from the capital?" Collecting news, but not responsible for screening. Then
That is to say, messages are transmitted very frequently. Although not once a day, it is still necessary every three to five times. However, after screening these messages, she cannot quickly and safely deliver them to Tian Guangbo. The brothel is too
Simple and cautious people would not do things like this.
Meng Shiniang whispered: "Every day before dawn in Zuichun Tower, someone will come to clean up the filth. Just put the letter in the secret compartment of the Gong bucket, and then pour some plant ash and water into the Gong bucket. As for the
Where to take it, I don’t know."
"Any more?"
Meng Shiniang thought for a moment and then said: "The other thing is that before the middle of the month, every shop will press for debts. Zuichunlou has not been pressed, but the grain store in the capital has been. The shopkeeper is looking for me. I hope
I can intercede with my employer and give him some grace. But I don’t know why, but it seems that the business is not doing well and the collection of payment is very tight. I once asked, and I said that if the money turnover in the business is not working well, I still have it in hand. In addition,
, I could introduce a few people...but Lang Jun refused, and just said, 'It's not a business matter.'" Then he said: "As soon as you mentioned money and time, I thought of it.
It seems that the Tian family’s money has been diverted away..."
As she spoke, tears came down again, "Stupid! How stupid! If you lose your life, you will lose everything."
Tongtong stood up and was about to leave.
Meng Shiniang raised her head and said, "Concubine, who tricked him?"
Tongtong stopped, "I only know that that person is his adopted brother. But who exactly is this adopted brother, I am still tracing. When I trace it, I will tell you."
A foster brother? How could there be a foster brother?
Meng Shiniang looked at Tongtong in disbelief, "He said he has a sworn brother?"
"He didn't say anything! No matter how hard he forced him, he refused to say anything, but... Tian Da beside him accidentally heard him calling a mysterious person his sworn brother."
Meng Shiniang asked, "So, what he said he could avenge my family is true?"
"He thought it was true. That's what he thought after all." Tongtong said, "It's a pity that you believe in him and he believes in his sworn brother, but do you know what his sworn brother believes in?"
Boiled?
Tongtong was speechless and walked out.
Han Siyuan said: "We have already sent people to check out Ye Xiang's people."
Tongtong shook his head: "No chance, as soon as Meng Shiniang came in, he left. Let's check, he must have either disappeared or died in some accident."
Sure enough! Before lunch was finished, the news came that the person responsible for pouring night fragrance fell into the pond and drowned while washing the shabu-shabu bucket, and everyone was buried.
Han Siyuan asked: "Is this the end?"
Tongtong laughed: "After the message has been screened, it will definitely be delivered! It is a transfer station. It only needs to be verified that the message has been sent. It is impossible for someone to do it, so there are only a few ways to go. One, the post station
.Check the inns to send letters within three to five days; secondly, check the canal boats to see if there are regular people who often carry goods or letters. Although the Tian family is a grain merchant, most of them collect and sell locally...
...Rice comes to Beijing every year, but only after the rice is harvested, so such news cannot be conveyed; thirdly, check all the people in and around the capital who raise pigeons or have raised pigeons..." After saying that, he paused, "
Investigate everyone in the Han family who has returned from the southwest, etc."
Han Siyuan pondered for a moment and then understood: "They are people who came back with their grandparents first."
Tongtong was speechless and only looked at Han Siyuan.
Han Siyuan felt excited and said, "Focus on the people around my grandfather."
Tongtong only sighed, but didn't know what to say. This person must be someone close to the old prince, and someone he trusted very much. Otherwise, the prince's dirty tricks would not be hidden.
There must be a pair of hands covering the old prince's eyes.
For a shrewd person like him, no one could hide it unless he was someone he trusted very much. Therefore, this person had a life-long friendship with the old prince, and their relationship was unusual.
She said: "When you are looking for it, firstly, don't disturb the old man; secondly, if you find it, don't deal with it in a hurry. I'll give you some medicine and call him 'sudden death'. Then he will be locked up and interrogated slowly."
Bar."
I know! I will be cautious.
As soon as Tongtong came out, he saw the heavy snow covering the entire city.
She stepped on the snow step by step, making a crunching sound under her feet. She took a deep breath and waved to Liu Yun to come forward.
Liu Yun walked over and Tongtong whispered: "Go to see shopkeeper Chen and ask him to do something right away."
You say!
"Tell him to loosen his grip and let the people in Hanjiazhuang know..."
Liu Yun listened and understood every word clearly, and then turned around.
Tongtong sneered and put all these things behind her. Sitting on the carriage, she saw someone selling glutinous rice cakes on the roadside. Such things were rare in the capital, especially those who made glutinous rice cakes. Now that she saw them, she called Qing
Ya: "Go out and buy a few, buy a few more..." Go back and make frosted sugar glutinous rice cakes and eat fresh ones.
When he came back, he was very happy. When he looked up, he saw Tongtong's smiling face.
Many troubles no longer seemed troublesome when he saw this smiling face. He asked, "How about going out for a while?"
Not bad, "I bought glutinous rice cake! Do you want to fry it and put some sugar in it?"
want!
"Then just wait, it'll be fine in a while." He said and was about to leave.
The Fourth Master then asked, "Is the matter settled?"
Tongtong pondered for a moment and whispered: "It's too dangerous to keep some people... and it doesn't make much sense! It's better... to let them die."
Die? Who should be told to die?
"Han Maoyun!"
Han Siyuan muttered the name, then slapped his hand on the table.
Who is Han Maoyun? He is a member of the Han family, and he is of the same generation as his grandfather. He has been by his grandfather's side since his grandfather followed Tai | Ancestor in revolt. But he was unlucky.
He was injured, and only the thumb and index finger of his right hand could be used, while the other fingers were cut off by the knife.
From then on, he has been with his grandfather! He also married a wife in his early years and had children. Unfortunately, his life was hard, and his wife died three times after marrying him! Because he followed his grandfather back and forth on the battlefield,
He saved his grandfather's life, so the family regards him as an elder. He is also very low-key and only acts as a steward, but he handles the trivial matters at home.
Even now, he is accompanying his grandfather in the imperial mausoleum.
How can we bring people out quietly?
Han Siyuan decided to go to the imperial mausoleum to meet this person first.
But this person was not seen and said he had gone out.
Who did you go to see?
Didn't say.
What Han Siyuan didn't know was that the person he went to meet was invited by Han Zongmin.
To be continued...
