Link was distracted when Tongtong called out to him.
"Um?"
Tongtong slowly knelt down and said, "Dad, I want to ask you a favor." Get up! What are you doing kneeling down?
Tongtong took Link's hand and said, "You know and I know that Shiro knows about this, but other things... don't mention it."
Do you know how big a deal this is?
"I know." Tongtong looked at Link Yong, took Link Yong's hand and shook it, "Dad, you just pretend you don't know about this matter and leave it to Er and Shiro to handle it, okay?"
Link looked at Tongtong seriously: "You have to be careful!"
Yes! I must treat it with caution.
"Don't worry! Don't mention my father to anyone, including your imperial uncle and your second uncle."
That's it! Tongtong stood up and said, "Dad, please rest, my son has returned to the palace! Don't worry, just watch with peace of mind."
Well! My son is doing things so that his father can rest assured.
Tongtong really left. Link covered his face with his sleeves and looked back, his heart starting to tremble.
He was asked to handle this matter, but he didn't know how to proceed. He knew that he was afraid of the worst guess.
If so, what about the Southwest?
If so, what should the second uncle do?
If this is the case, why is the relationship between two brothers so embarrassing?
If so, how should the father choose?
If this is the case, how should the emperor handle it?
If so, this will be the biggest joke in the world!
If so, civil strife may break out at any time.
What should I do? What should I do? This moment is really heartbreaking!
I really hope that it is really an accident, an accidental person and a good opportunity, who can peek into the secret little by little.
This thing can be broken at a glance!
The Fourth Master pushed the thing away, and then he was silent for a moment before saying: "Now that the boots have fallen to the ground, I don't panic anymore."
Tongtong said: "What should we do? Let some people die of illness silently, or..." Fourth Master waved his hand, "Why did they die of illness? It's unnecessary. There are so many ministers who have rebellious intentions, and they have existed in all dynasties! Those
In the so-called vassal state, are those who call themselves ministers commendable for their loyalty? Requiring every minister to be loyal is just like a man asking every woman to have deep feelings for him..."
That's right! Tongtong was feeling heavy in his heart, and he suddenly became amused.
The fourth master also laughed, "That's the fact. It doesn't sound nice, but that's the truth."
Tongtong nodded, "I know! It's easy to tell people to die quietly! But what happens after that? Not all things in this world require evidence. If a person dies... there will be rebellion." There is no talk of friendship.
No mercy, that's actually the case.
He died as soon as he returned to Beijing, and after the "fire" in Yicang, some people knew that the court had already known about it and was alert.
But what Tongtong doesn't understand is: "This is done in a hasty and stupid way. What can he get from it?"
Fourth Master shook his head, "You have to think about the opposite. Don't think about what he can gain from this matter. But think about what he will lose if he doesn't do this."
Tongtong suddenly said: "Grain merchant! He must have something to do with that Tian Guangbo."
Yes! There must be something involved. This person cannot be saved.
What should he do? If he wants to use this family, he must have an attitude. What is his attitude, this is his attitude. He can't save people, but he has the courage to help Tian Guangbo get revenge.
Tongtong understood: "Their relationship with Jiangnan grain merchants must be very irreconcilable. It is not a simple subordinate relationship."
Yes! It should be so.
"According to Tian Guangbo's age, he is older and about the same age as Uncle Huang..." Tongtong whispered, "So..." Han Chengsong must not be the mastermind! At most, he is just an insider. This matter has nothing to do with him
There is no direct relationship.
The matter can only be related to the crown prince in the southwest! And among all the Han family members who came back, including the servants, there must be Prince Han’s agents.
This is a guess! Out of caution, Tongtong still called Liu Yun.
Liu Yun is the person left by the Queen Mother. Tongtong called him aside: "You have to handle this matter personally. No one should be alarmed. Even the news is not allowed to leak."
"Yes!" Liu Yun agreed, "I will definitely do it myself."
"Go check Han Chengsong's whereabouts these days."
Liu Yun was stunned.
Tongtong looked at her with a serious face, and Liu Yun's heart trembled. But thinking that the princess had never made a mistake before, her face was heavy for a moment, and she quickly adjusted, not daring to show anything on her face.
Then went out.
This investigation revealed that Han Chengsong was almost never alone. He was with someone twelve hours a day.
First, I met the fifth prince by chance and rested for a night in Zhuangzi in the eldest princess's mansion. Then I went hunting around Zhuangzi with the Zhao brothers and never left!
Liu Yun whispered: "We also invited the descendants of the Lin family, and people like Mao Shizi... But Mao Shizi was on duty in the East Palace and couldn't leave, so he specially asked someone to send him over from Zhuangzi! Uncle!
He... even made a trip and stayed for half a day before returning home. He said that the old lady was at home alone, and if he didn't go home, she wouldn't be able to eat well..."
That's it! Han Chengsong is an insider, but not a participant.
"Anything else?"
Liu Yun hesitated for a moment and then said: "Han Shisun went to prison before..."
"Looking for second brother?"
Yes! "I heard that the two had a few arguments."
I'm afraid he was trying to find a way to go because of Tian Guangbo! This further proves that the relationship between the Han family and the Tian family is very close.
Tongtong lit the cup in his hand and looked back at Fourth Master.
Fourth Master nodded slightly and will do as you say.
Whether it is sulfur, saltpeter or charcoal, they are actually all Chinese medicinal materials.
Link Yong said that these things are under control, and Tongtong believed this. However, a large number of illegal goods must be under control. But there must be normal circulation of this thing in the market.
However, in the mountains and rivers of the southwest, no one dares to say that all is known about minerals.
The medicinal materials in the East Palace are all available! As long as they are all available, Fourth Master is not needed. Why can’t I do this myself?
As a spy, if you can't even do this, you really deserve to die.
I selected a lot of various medicinal materials, and after one day of selection, I asked someone to bring a small alchemy furnace in the empty pavilion of the East Palace.
A pavilion was built in this place, but Tongtong actually didn't want to use it for a long time. It was next to the pond in the East Palace. She wanted to crossbreed fish in it and make a small experimental pond. It doesn't need to be big, a few dozen square meters is enough.
.
Everything was ready, and Fourth Master called many people.
Lin Chongwen, Han Chengsong, and the brothers from the Zhao family were all very enthusiastic when they arrived, "Brothers, please sit down!"
After sitting down here, Tongtong held the alchemy furnace and walked around in front, saying hello to the Zhao brothers, "Why don't you come to the East Palace to sit down? What are you busy with?"
Zhao Deguang smiled and said: "Accompanying my sister outside the city..."
"Outside the city?" Tongtong looked at Fourth Master: "Is it about the charity warehouse?"
"After the charity warehouse was returned to the imperial court, the management was not strict. Regarding the grain storage, the court was discussing. But the construction of the granary must be started as soon as possible." The fourth master looked at brother Zhao Deguang and Zhao Deyi, "You guys are doing this job
How's the burden? This is the most urgent thing right now."
Give me a job!
The two brothers looked at each other and agreed.
Tongtong then leaned next to Lin Chongwen and talked to Han Chengsong, "I'm afraid my brother from the Han family is just as bored as my brother from the Han family! It's good to take advantage of this little time to relax..."
Lin Chongwen laughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense! I am in a hurry, but the Han brothers are not in a hurry. They are having a good time."
Han Chengsong laughed loudly and said, "There are many places to visit in the capital. We are planning to go to the hot springs."
Tongtong looked very interested, "I'll go too one day..."
The Fourth Master coughed lightly and said, "We are just talking about business, and we are just messing around. Let's go play first!"
Tongtong said angrily: "You are really! You are talking about your business, and I am also busy!" After saying that, he said to several people: "A lot of big fish were caught in the pond at the back in the past few days. Today we are stewing fish in shabu-shabu.
Don't leave! I asked people to keep it in clear water for a few days, and it must have almost vomited out the muddy smell! If you leave, you won't have this good fortune!"
As he walked away, he said, "You are not allowed to leave! No matter how anxious you are, the time for a meal is not what you are anxious about."
Fourth Master agreed and said to her: "What are you doing holding the incense burner? Don't mess with that Laoshizi Yangyan Pill..."
Tongtong yelled and ran away.
Lin Chongwen laughed: "Tongtong likes to play with medicinal herbs. There are all her things in the whole house. Weird stone bugs..."
Fourth Master nodded, "There is nothing she can't be used for medicine."
Just as he was talking, Tongtong came back and looked at Han Chengsong: "Brother, it is said that there are many poisonous mushrooms and various insects in the southwest mountains..."
The fourth master chased her away: "Let's get down to business! Go and have fun with you."
Han Chengsong burst out laughing, "I have some basic records of southwest China in my hand. I'll bring them to the concubine later."
OK!
Tongtong ran away, and the uncontrollable joy could be heard inside.
The Fourth Master then said to Han Chengsong: "It's okay to send books, but don't let him drag you around like mushrooms and bugs..."
Han Chengsong laughed along with him, he really looked like a kind-hearted brother.
As mentioned earlier, Tongtong carried the incense burner to the pavilion at the back, then put the things he had prepared earlier into it, leaving a piece of lead outside.
After a little bit of hindrance, and after repeatedly confirming that no one was approaching within the safe range, she took out the fire stick and lit the fuse.
Then he stepped back slowly and called to the maid who was cleaning the flower garden not far away, "Don't throw away those branches and leaves. It's a pity, they are medicinal materials..."
Just as she was talking, the expected explosion came as expected, and there was a huge sound behind her, and the ground shook. When she looked back, she saw that the pavilion flew away, and a large pit of thirty to forty square meters was created in the ground.
It is indeed not deep, but it is enough to raise fish fry.
At this moment, everyone in the front hall was startled. First there was a huge sound, followed by a huge tremor, and the chair under the buttocks was shaken and clanked.
Emperor Wen Zhao and the ministers who were discussing matters in the imperial study were all startled. The shock was not severe, but it was really a loud noise.
Emperor Wen Zhao hurriedly asked: "Where did it come from?"
East!
East Palace?
Not sure! But the East Palace is indeed on the east side.
In an instant, everyone ran that way.
The subordinate officials of the East Palace, the palace servants of the East Palace, the Fourth Master, Lin Chongwen, Han Chengsong and others all came over.
Lin Chongwen looked at Tongtong first and saw her stunned face. He asked first, "What's going on?"
Tongtong pointed, "The incense burner..."
"What did you do with the incense burner?"
"It's nothing? It's just that I was inspired by the Yicang incident, so I just gave it a try..."
Han Chengsong's heart went cold. How many things can be put in a small incense burner? It has such power?
