But Yun Shang never came back. King Jing asked the housekeeper to search around the house, but he couldn't find anyone. He was afraid that he had left the house. After thinking for a moment, King Jing gave instructions to the housekeeper and stayed again.
After writing a letter, he hurriedly went to the grove south of the city to wait for his subordinates to meet up.
At this time, Yun Shang was in the Yuman Building. In the side room, there were all kinds of people standing, including beggars, prostitutes, and hawkers. The whole room was filled with people.
"A few days ago, I asked you to pay attention to the movements in the imperial city. I'm afraid they didn't convey my intention, so I didn't hear any news. Today I came in person, just to ask some things, some
Trivial matters." Yun Shang sat in the only seat in the wing and glanced at the people in the room with an indifferent expression.
Everyone looked at Yun Shang intently, but they didn't even dare to breathe too heavily, for fear of disturbing the stunning woman in front of them.
"What was the price of tung oil in the city a few days ago?" Yun Shang asked softly.
Everyone had never thought that Yun Shang would ask such a question. After a moment of silence, someone said, "It has increased from a month ago. A pound of tung oil has increased by about 400 yuan. I went to ask a few days ago, and then
I don’t dare to buy it.”
Yun Shang tapped her hand on the table slightly, "Is there anyone in the tung oil business? Do you know which company started to increase the price of tung oil?"
"From Li Ji in the south of the city, his price didn't go up that much at first, it just went up by a hundred cents. Later I found that the tung oil in the city seemed to be out of stock soon, so I hurriedly went up again.
"A woman's voice came.
Yun Shang pondered for a moment and nodded, "There is a jailer living in Shuijing Lane in the west of the city. Does anyone know his name?"
"Liu Sanjin, I remember, I remember." A bearded man holding a cut piece of cloth with an iron mouth in his hand said quickly.
Yun Shang chuckled, "What's his normal temperament like?"
The middle-aged man with a beard pondered for a moment and then said, "He has a straight temper and hates evil very much. He often boasts that he works as an errand in Dali Temple and is a errand leader. However, he suddenly fell ill some time ago and was in a daze all day. One day I
I saw him going to work with a pale face, and even said he was here. But then he died for some unknown reason. He used to come to me to tell fortunes, and when he was buried, I even gave him 50 cents.
Woolen cloth."
Yun Shang pondered for a moment and nodded, "Did you pay attention to whether any strange people appeared in the family during the time he was ill?"
"Strange person?" The fortune teller shook his head. I set up a fortune telling stall near his house, but I didn't see any strange people.
"Why not?" A little beggar about ten years old squeezed out from the crowd, walked to Yun Shang and raised his eyes to look at Yun Shang, "When the master said this, I suddenly remembered that I begged for one that day.
I was afraid of being snatched away by other beggars, so I hid in a big tree to eat the chicken legs. It was broad daylight, and the jailer should have gone to work, but I saw a man coming from the jailer’s house.
He walked out of the yard. At that time, I thought he was a relative of the jailer and didn't pay attention. But just now I suddenly remembered that the man had a big beard and was holding a machete in his hand. He was not dressed like us.
People from Ningguo."
When the fortune teller heard this, he quickly patted his thigh and said, "That's right, that's right, I'm well-informed, and that person should be from the Yelang Kingdom."
In Yelang Kingdom, Yun Shang suddenly touched the tea cup on the table and made a crisp sound. Could it be that Cang Juekang Ning was also involved in this matter?
Yun Shang calmed down and then asked, "Recently, in the past half month, has anyone from the Yelang Kingdom come in outside the city?"
"Yes." Another old beggar said quickly, "I was begging at the gate of the city. More than ten days ago, people from the Yelang Kingdom entered the city, but they all dressed up as Ningguo people and spoke Ningguo dialect when they entered the city.
, but when I stepped forward to beg from them, they cursed me a few words, and I heard that they were words from the Yelang Kingdom."
Yun Shang fell silent after hearing this. Cangjue Kangning entered the city about a month ago, and they relied on their identities and never concealed the fact that they were from the Yelang country. The people the old beggar saw were afraid
They are... Cangjue Qingsu's people, but I don't know if Cangjue Qingsu is among them.
When she contacted Cangjuekang Ning's death, Yun Shang suddenly realized that she had been wondering before. Killing Cangjuekang Ning would only cause dissatisfaction in the Yelang Kingdom. If Li Jingyan and the others were the ones, they would not do such a thing.
Cang Jue Qingsu and Li Jingyan have always been in contact because of Hua Jing's relationship. It was expected that they would join forces.
Yun Shang suppressed the suspicion in her heart and looked at the crowd again, "What I want to know are these details, but they reveal a bit of strange things. They are not as earth-shattering as you think. If you think about it more carefully, you can
Is there some such thing?”
As soon as Yun Shang finished speaking, a middle-aged man came out and said, "On the day Prince Jing had a fight with Prince Na Yelang, I was in Yuman Tower. That day, a middle-aged man was making noise. In fact, we
I never heard that it was Prince Jing's voice before. It was the man who said, wasn't Prince Jing the one who spoke upstairs? Why did he get into a quarrel with someone? Only then did everyone realize that the voice belonged to Prince Jing."
After hearing this, Yunshang turned around and asked Qian Yin to invite the shopkeeper over, and asked, "Do you know the shopkeeper who is making fun of you?"
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, the shopkeeper thought for a while and then said, "It seems that he has some impression that he should be the younger brother of the housekeeper in the prime minister's house. He has nothing to do all day long and hangs out in teahouses and restaurants."
Prime Minister Jing, Yun Shang has always known that Jing Kui sent someone to monitor her, and when she was sick, Mrs. Jing came to visit her every day, and her intentions were unpredictable. She always thought that Jing Kui wanted to know the whereabouts of Jing Wenxi, but now
From the looks of it, I'm afraid that's not the case. Jing Wenxi used sex to lure him into contact with Cang Juekang Ning, and I'm afraid his purpose was not simply to get into the palace.
A somewhat enchanting woman heard what the shopkeeper said, and she quickly said, "By the way, that dandy brother of the housekeeper of Prime Minister Jing's Mansion, that day he also inquired with the slave family, asking which one of the slaves in the imperial city was the best at counterfeiting? He said
He lost money in gambling and wanted to imitate a banker's seal to get some money. The Nu family knew about his virtue, so they told him about Li Qian."
Yun Shang was startled when he heard this. Was this how the master of counterfeiting was pushed out?
When I asked other people, they all said there was nothing special, so Yun Shang waved her hand and asked them all to go down.
Qianyin was filled with amazement, "Princess, this servant doesn't know that there is so much knowledge in these details. No wonder you let Boss Qianqian bribe so many seemingly useless people before. It was your slave who conveyed the information to the princess before.
The message was conveyed incorrectly, which made us go in such a big circle."
Yun Shang smiled lightly, "If you know this time, you will have experience next time."
"Then Princess, what should we do now?" Qianyin asked in a low voice.
Yun Shang rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes and said, "Let me be quiet for a moment. There are too many things, and I have to sort them out first. You first protect the people who just spoke, they will all be witnesses in the future."
It started with the incident in Tianlao, or earlier, with the ceremony of sealing the queen, or with the Crown Prince of Xia assassinating Prince Jing and her.
Prince Xia's assassination of Prince Jing and her was probably because he fell into a trap, and the prince was imprisoned. After the prince was imprisoned, the seventh prince had the intention of getting rid of the prince, but the sky prison was heavily guarded and it was difficult to do so.
, he, Li Jingyan, and Cang Jue Qingsu joined forces. Cang Jue Qingsu instigated Hua Jing to reveal Yun Chang's life experience at the banquet on the day of the conferment. On that day, Hua Jing's purpose was probably not to overthrow Yun Chang.
, but to send herself to the prison.
She was imprisoned, most likely for the purpose of cooperating inside and outside, and she carried Buddha incense on her body. That night, she lit Buddha incense in the prison and stunned the jailer. Cang Jue Qingsu ordered people to kill the jailer named Liu Sanjin.
After taking the medicine, he was unconscious and confused by the incense of the Buddha. Hua Jing instructed her to turn off the mechanism, open the cell door, put a woman in another cell in, and then locked the cell door. Then,
The people who responded outside took Hua Jing out, filled the prison with tung oil, and set the prison on fire.
They originally thought of blaming her and Prince Jing, but unexpectedly, their father did not suspect the two of them, and only ordered a thorough investigation. Li Jingyan and the others saw that their purpose was not working, so they came up with another plan.
Jing Wenxi and Hua Jing were close friends, but Jing Kui had an inextricable relationship with Li Jingyan before. In addition, Jing Wenxi was framed by Yun Shang for his position as queen, and he was not made the queen.
The people in the government had a grudge. So they joined forces with Jing Kui to frame King Jing.
It was inconvenient for others to come forward in the imperial city, so Jing Kui instigated the younger brother of the housekeeper to find a master forger and a ventriloquist. Cang Jue Kangning had an ulterior relationship with Jing Wenxi, and Cang Jue Kangning had been involved in a previous palace banquet.
Zhong was insulted by Yun Shang, and he couldn't swallow it in his heart, so he agreed to participate. They asked the ventriloquist to pretend to have a dispute with Cang Jue Kangning, and let the housekeeper's brother make a fuss below, and let everyone see it.
After leaving the warehouse, Kang Ning came down from above, cursing, and everyone thought that Prince Jing had a dispute with him.
Then at night, Cang Juekang Ning exclaimed and deliberately called Prince Jing. He also pinched the fake jade token made by the forger master in his hand. He wanted to create the illusion of being hurt by Prince Jing, but he didn't want to fall into Cang's trap.
Jue Qingsu's plan turned out to be real, and he was killed by the assassin.
But what they didn't expect was that Prince Jing could escape from their hands. They also didn't expect that Liu Yinfeng smelled the scent of the Buddha incense and told her about it. (To be continued)
