The Marquis of Siping held her hand: "The chief of Cuicheng said that in the morning, Cui Chengzhi, a master of Cuicheng, washed the ground with a hidden weapon outside the gate, and a man escaped. Then someone took my official document and said that there was a thief in the Marquis of Siping's house, and a dark man was killed outside the gate.
Let people go."
Lei Shi: "Oh?"
"The next morning was even more interesting. Someone broke into Cui's house at night. A shady outsider pretended to be a ghost in Cui's house. He exposed the tiles on Cui's house and hurt people. Two more men left from the back wall. Before leaving, they said, I am Lei Feng.
Come back someday."
Lei Shi giggled out loud: "Is the third child really here?"
Marquis Siping said: "We still don't know whether he is the real third son or whether he is pretending to be the new emperor, but the fact that the third son has ascended the throne is becoming more and more interesting, and the water is getting muddier."
When the couple said this, someone came up and replied: "Chang Quan, who has always delivered New Year's gifts to Zhaoyong County Prince's Mansion, has arrived."
Sipinghou and his wife were overjoyed: "Please come in quickly."
...
Chang Quan was promoted from the military camp by Prince Zhaoyong and accompanied Lei Fengqi when he was growing up.
He is in his forties and has a scar on his face, but his smile is very honest and gentle, and he doesn't look intimidating.
He is someone who comes to the Siping Marquis Mansion every year, so it is not surprising to see the Marquis and his wife coming out together. After saluting, the Siping Marquis couldn't wait to ask him: "I don't think you will send the Dragon Boat Festival gift until April, you know
I've been bored by the news recently. What's going on? Such news came out before the first month of the year. I wrote to the emperor but there was no reply. Please tell me quickly."
Lei Shi also looked at it with concern.
Chang Quan said: "It's really strange to talk about this news that shocked the whole country. I didn't have any news at home beforehand. On the afternoon of the 15th day of the lantern festival, the imperial edict came, saying that the late emperor passed away and invited my three generals to come to the capital to ascend the throne. The whole city had to remove the lanterns."
He said that the whole family didn’t even want to eat the Lantern Festival, they were just worried.”
"Didn't you ask Zhang Lin why?"
In this matter, Zhang Lin, who presided over the reception of Lei Fengqi, was the key figure. Marquis Siping wanted it, not to mention Lei Fengqi's whole family also wanted it.
"I sent you a letter urgently. I just replied that I would set a date to meet you and ask my three generals to come to Beijing on an auspicious day."
Sipinghou and his wife frowned, this was so strange.
Chang Quan couldn't wait for the couple to think about their thoughts, so he leaned forward and said: "I have something to do here, and I specially ask Mr. Hou to help me sort it out."
"you say."
"I will follow the three generals to the mainland,"
Sipinghou lost his voice: "What!"
Lei Shi then said: "Rumors are spreading on the street every day. Today it is said that Lao San is meeting Zhang Lin, and tomorrow it is said that Lao San has entered Beijing. Is he nearby?"
Sipinghou asked: "Where is he!"
Chang Quan said: "I don't know where he is now. We met the day before yesterday. The three generals took a bully from the town and asked us to send it to the province to Mr. Liang Yuanzheng. Man, I just sent it. This is a roundabout way."
Please ask Lord Marquis to fulfill your words."
"What should I say?" Sipinghou wondered.
Liang Yuanzheng was an upright censor. He returned to his hometown to serve as an official. He had relatives and family members in the province, and his master from Yucheng was his teacher. He had the foundation to dare to offend others and did not need the help of Marquis Siping.
Chang Quandui laughed: "Since the three generals came to this province, when they encountered sad situations, they used the banner of arresting thieves in the Siping Marquis Mansion."
Marquis Siping was surprised, and Mr. Lei laughed at the side.
"That's right, your Third General does have a blank official document from me with a seal in his hand. The year before last, the emperor's uncle wrote a letter saying that the grain truck passing through the inland was impounded, and he wanted an official document from me to pass through." Siping Hou said in a state of laughter: "I have this official document."
You have used the official document again and again, and it turns out to be very valuable?"
Lei's eyebrows widened: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you use it for your own family. Chang Quan, please contact the third child. He has already come to my place and comes to see me."
Sipinghou smiled and said: "A little chat later, Chang Quan, have you been following the three generals inland?"
"yes."
"Is it true that the third child did what happened to Cui Chengzhi's family in Cuicheng?"
Chang Quan hesitated upon hearing this, and Sipinghou looked at him intently.
"Back to the Marquis, you are referring to the matter of placing concealed weapons during the day, which has nothing to do with our three generals. You are referring to the Cui family being haunted at night, and we did not rush there that night. The gates of this inland city are also closed at night, even though you are here
I dare not use the official documents of the Marquis indiscriminately. I heard later that the three generals were at Cui's house that night."
Siping Hou chuckled: "Okay, let me remind you. That night, the third child signed up for a number at Cui's house and said that he would come to visit when the thunderstorm came, but the third child said it himself."
Chang Quan hesitated again.
Sipinghou was deliberately displeased: "Why, do you think I am an outsider?"
"My lord, please calm down. If you were an outsider, the three generals would not dare to say what they said inland. I want you to ask this. I was not there at the time. I really don't know if it was the three generals who said it."
Lei's expression changed: "Whoever is following the third child is someone who can help him?"
Chang Quan replied fluently: "I don't know him, so I dare not say anything."
Lei Shi wanted to ask more, but Sipinghou raised his hand to stop his wife. He felt that there was no need to say such nonsense. Lei Fengqi was not with his strong soldiers, but with other people, who must be useful to him.
Everyone has their own secrets, why bother asking to the end.
Even if it is out of concern, even if you are close to your own family, you still need to maintain your own limits and distance from the other person.
Since Lei Feng was indeed at Cui's house on the day he registered, it doesn't matter whether he said it himself.
The most important thing at the moment is what kind of follow-up will happen to "Lei Fengqi's ascension to the throne".
After thinking about it for a while, the Siping Marquis Mansion decided that he had to help Lei Fengqi, and he took it for granted that he would help Lei Fengqi.
Not to mention how many benefits there are here, the fact that no one behind the scenes has been revealed yet makes people shudder.
Lei Fengqi came to the capital to ascend the throne. If other royal relatives did not agree, a bloodbath would be inevitable. Anyone with royal blood would have a stake in the throne and would participate in this bloodbath.
Uncle Zhaoyong has troops and horses in his hands, and Prince Shunxing and Prince Qingchang also have troops and horses in their hands. It is difficult to say whether the other royal relatives in Beijing have any contact with the generals, but even if there are wealthy civilian families who do not have troops in their hands,
If you say that Lei Feng is not in good position, you can summon troops and horses to Beijing to attack.
When the time comes, all the royal relatives will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and since he is marrying a royal princess, it will be difficult to escape.
Rather, it would be beneficial to the Siping Hou Mansion if Lao San wins.
Sipinghou said with a smile on his face: "Chang Quan, if someone comes to ask me if I will investigate the case in my house, I will do it."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis. The three generals have one more thing to ask for."
"But that's what I say."
"The third general said that we naturally use the banner of Sipinghoufu in this province. If we leave the province, we will carve carrot seals randomly. If we can't get through, we have to use the banner of Sipinghoufu."
