"Is it the Jiang family? Only the Jiang family has such ability. You sent people to investigate before, didn't you say that the one who was kidnapped was not a branch of the Jiang family in Fucheng, but the legitimate son of the Jiang family from the capital?" Zhang Yu guessed.
road.
As for the Su family, Zhang Yu thinks it is unlikely.
Su Wenqing is just an ignorant and libertine, and now that the old man of the Su family has reached the age of becoming an official, how can he dare to get involved in the factional disputes between the DPRK and China?
Su Jinxun now just wants to live in the court, wait peacefully until he becomes an official, and then move up the Su family's house, which will be worthy of his ancestors.
Zhang Yu didn't think that Su Jinxun had such courage. After all, he was old and there were no promising descendants in the Su family.
It's good for the Su family to just be pure ministers. The emperor will always miss some old feelings.
After hearing this, Liao Haitu immediately shook his head, "The Jiang family is the crown prince's natal family, and this matter concerns the prince. Even if the Jiang family's legitimate son almost suffered this disaster, then no matter how angry the Jiang family is, they will never do anything harmful to the prince.
Things."
"It was also the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. The family no longer knew each other. The Jiang family and the Wang family are now like grasshoppers on the same rope. But that group of people wanted to sell the children alone to the border. How could they know how to tie them up?
Are you one of our own?"
Zhang Yu sneered, feeling that it was really interesting. If it is really sold to the border, it will be a good show.
"I'm afraid they won't sell it to the border, but to other small countries. Those close to the border are vassal counties."
Liao Haitu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly felt as if he had spied on a big secret, and he felt excited.
"This? If so, there must be a big fish behind it. Maybe if you follow the clues, you can inflict a heavy blow on that side. This person really gave a great gift, but it is accompanied by many dangers. If we are not careful, we can
It’s about to capsize.”
Zhang Yu was also very shocked, this was incredible.
If the children can pass, so can the weapons and food.
There is no business exchange between the two countries, and the border guards are extremely tight. How can we get through the border?
Anyone can do it, let alone the others.
"Perhaps, we don't need to take action this time. If you report it as soon as possible, you don't have to wade through muddy waters, and you can get a lot of benefits." Zhang Yu suddenly said, stroking his palm.
"Oh~ It turns out that this person's intention is not just the Wang family." Liao Haitu suddenly understood and admired this person.
Liao Haitu looked refreshed at the moment. His frown was gone and his face was filled with smiles.
He immediately thought that some time ago, Fu Tingwei, the right minister of the Ministry of War, had read a book about General Longhu who was guarding Shuyuguan, saying that some officials had used death row prisoners as soldiers to embezzle soldiers' pay, and even King Duanyang who was guarding Jiarong Pass was under suspicion.
.
However, how did Fu Tingwei learn about this matter? It can only be said that the second prince's hands reached to the border, and he was so blatant.
However, the emperor only sent a censor from the Inspectorate to investigate. This attitude is thought-provoking!
Fu Tingwei is the brother of Concubine Ming, and Concubine Ming is the biological mother of the second prince, so isn't she from the second prince's lineage?
The Dragon and Tiger General Zhao Liangshun was a pure minister, and the Zhao family did not get very close to other families. Could it be that the emperor wanted to protect Zhao Liangshun?
But the emperor did not criticize the second prince's unruly behavior. What exactly is this?
The heart of an emperor is so unpredictable!
At this moment, Liao Haitu clarified these complicated relationships in his mind, and then thought about the matter in front of him.
Regardless of whether it is the second prince's hand or other factions who want to fish in troubled waters, the current situation is still beneficial to them.
It seems that this person wants to use this matter to thoroughly investigate the border. Then it depends on who wins in the end.
When it was his turn to reap the benefits, Liao Haitu was no longer as entangled as before, but carefully checked the letters and lists on the table.
...
"Ouch! Master, why are you so late today?"
Qiuniang's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the man going up the stairs, and she immediately twisted her waist to greet him.
"Isn't this coming? But I can't wait any longer?" The man entered the house with his arms around Qiuniang's waist, and immediately closed the door.
Qiuniang's expression suddenly changed. She had been smiling just now, but now she was looking respectful.
"Master, things have changed. Liao Haitu has received a secret letter, which is related to border issues." Qiuniang said seriously.
The man frowned, "We haven't taken action yet. Where did the secret message come from? Have you found out who it is? What is it about?"
Qiuniang shook her head, "Liao Haitu only discussed this matter with his staff Zhang Yu. Our people couldn't get close and only heard a few words. We also checked afterward and found that a woman suddenly disappeared from the backyard of the government office."
"I didn't expect someone to move faster than us!" The man pondered for a moment, thinking about who it was.
"Then do we still have to proceed as planned?" Qiuniang asked immediately.
"No need! Since someone has done it, isn't it just right for us to just wait and see what happens?"
As the man spoke, a figure suddenly flashed in his mind. Could it be him?
...
Su Yizhao couldn't help but have a headache when he saw the guards riding horses beside the carriage. Even after the last accident, Uncle Zhong wouldn't be so careful, right?
This time, she took six guards with her to go out. For those who didn’t know, she thought it was some second-generation ancestor who came out to bomb the street!
But at least the cheap dad agreed that she should leave the house, which is better than staying in the house!
Lifting the curtains of the carriage, Su Yizhao looked at the stalls next to Fangshi. Even though it was stuffy inside the carriage, Su Yizhao was still fascinated by what he saw.
Huh? Is this Su Wenqing?
A man in an indigo robe entered a shop and passed by. Su Yizhao felt that his back and walking posture looked familiar, like a cheap dad.
As the carriage approached, Su Yizhao finally saw the plaque above the obscured small pavilion, "Lanchun Pavilion"?
Just when I was about to guess where this place was, I saw a woman leaning on the railing on the second floor looking down.
This woman has a graceful figure, a lazy sitting posture, and a enchanting look in her movements.
Su Yizhao immediately understood that this was probably a brothel, but Su Wenqing might not be available at the moment, right?
Apparently before he left the house, Su Wenqing had a very pleasant chat with a visiting friend and had a drink in the house!
I probably saw it wrong. The man just now was alone and there was no one around him.
It's impossible for Su Wenqing to leave her friends behind so quickly and rush ahead of her, right?
The west city of Beiyuan Prefecture is a gathering place for merchants. There are many shops here, the lanes are complicated, and there are many houses mixed in.
But overall, it is more spacious and wealthy than Fangshi in Nancheng.
The carriage continued to drive toward the outskirts of Xicheng City. Jiang Yongnian had told her before that the chrysanthemum exhibition was not outside the city, but it was close to the outskirts of the city. After all, the chrysanthemum garden also needs to occupy an area, right?
Before reaching the chrysanthemum garden, Su Yizhao saw many pedestrians holding flower pots and rushing towards the west.
Su Yizhao took a few glances and found that there were quite a few varieties of potted chrysanthemums in everyone's hands, many of which were expensive.
