222. Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty One

It is said that there is an idle man named He Mingshun in Beijing. He is in his thirties and has no real business. He blackmails my wife for a few dollars every day to hang out in casinos and flower houses. He reads books at midnight. Because he has quick legs and feet, he often helps others to have fun, so it is not difficult to meet him.

He also went to help with the fights in the market, and after getting the money, he returned to the flower house to live happily. He was beaten and scolded by his father to no avail, so he had to put his hands down and ignore it. However, he had an eldest sister who married into a good family, and she often brought him with her.

It won't be difficult if I get some money back and my family still has some foundation.

On this day, He Shun was drinking with some friends in the Flower House. Because he was drunk, he walked bumpily. There was a drunkard in black clothes leaning over next to him, and he bumped into him! He Shuncai

When he wanted to scold me, he looked up and saw that the man was a little taller than him and bumped into his arm. It was obvious that he was a practitioner, so he swallowed the unpleasant words again.

The friend who was supporting the man said, "I'm sorry for being so tight. I wasn't careful."

Seeing that this man was also tall and mighty, He Shun did not dare to speak, so he just laughed. He stood there for a moment, wanting to wait for the two of them to leave before cursing a few words. When he looked up, he saw the drunk man's sleeves

A few copper coins leaked out! He Shun's eyes lit up, he followed two steps quickly and stepped on the coins. Pretending to be dizzy, he knelt down and picked up the coins. He thought to himself, even though he didn't call the thief a thief, he could get some benefits.

He compensated for the collision and followed a little further, when another copper coin fell from the drunken man's sleeve. He followed along and picked up at least 1,780 copper coins.

Unknowingly, the drunk man's friend helped him into a small teahouse. When he entered the door, he called the waiter to bring him tea. He also told the drunk man to drink some tea to relieve his hangover. He Shun thought that his fortune was over.

He was about to leave, and when he was hesitating whether to leave, a small ingot of silver fell from the drunk man's sleeve with a "dang" sound! He Shun's heart beat like a drum, and he walked slowly over. At this moment, several people strode away.

He came over and passed through him and the drunkards. He Shun's heart almost jumped out of his throat! Fortunately, those people didn't look at him and walked past on their own.

He was mostly sober from the wine at this moment, so he pretended to be bumpy and bumped over to it, stepped on the silver coin with his foot, squatted down with his forehead on his, fished it out with his right hand, pinched the silver coin in the palm of his hand, and stood up unsteadily.

While weighing it, he found that there were about three or four taels of silver! He was so excited that he quietly stuffed the silver into his sleeves, pretended to take a few steps forward, and sat down at a table near the man. He also asked the waiter to serve him tea to relieve his hangover.

At that moment, the drunkard wanted to go to the hut, and his friend wanted to follow him, but the drunkard refused to let him go, so he had to go by himself. How could He Shun let go of this opportunity? He pretended to be respectful and followed the drunkard back. Who knew that the drunkard was unsteady on his feet?

, but walked very fast. There were many lentil racks in the backyard of this tea house, which was quite an eyesore. He Shun was a little slow and couldn't keep up. In the blink of an eye, the person was gone! He ran a few steps and saw a shadow of Xuan Yi walking in front of him.

It flashed past, and He Shun hurriedly ran over, but saw only a back figure. He Shun followed the back figure and walked around in twists and turns for half a day. Suddenly he felt that he had arrived at an alley he didn't recognize, and he was a little confused. After a while, he figured out the direction.

He groped dejectedly and wanted to go back to the teahouse - maybe he would still lose two coins when the drunkard left.

When passing by the alley and turning a corner, I caught a glimpse of a forkful of candied haws of apples leaning against a door pillar. There was a person who looked like a candied haws of molluscs seller, looking around furtively, and then tiptoeing towards the other end of the alley. He Shun suddenly felt

This man had something to do, so I was sure he was going to have a private meeting with his concubine. I became curious and followed him quietly.

The candied haws seller turned around a flower stand, and He Shun followed him and stood behind the flower stand. He just heard a sentence coming from the other end, "The seventh prince has been raised very well in Rongguo Mansion." He was so frightened that he sobered up! He looked around again.

, the man selling candied haws on a stick and the man in black clothes had already walked out three or four feet away.

He Shun's heart suddenly felt as if a huge wave had set off. The seventh prince had been missing for a long time without a trace. It turned out that Rong Guofu was secretly raising him? Who said that Rong Guofu and Xian Wang had been in harmony for a long time? Co-author Rong Guofu was in Xian

There is a conspiracy happening under the king's nose! Sooner or later, the world will belong to the wise king. If you expose their family, you will definitely get a large reward, and you will be able to feel proud in front of my mother, saving them two from talking about themselves every day.

inability!

After making up his mind, he ran a few steps as fast as he could. Suddenly an idea flashed and he turned back to the teahouse. He saw that the drunk man had gone back. It seemed that he had recovered from the alcohol and was eating with his friends.

Tea and melon seeds were eaten. He Shun felt relieved and ran to his sister's house.

His brother-in-law was none other than Zhao Cheng, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. The people in power in Beijing had changed several times. He was careful in doing things and could flatter his superiors, so he always stayed in his post.

Zhao Chengping had always been very impatient with this brother-in-law, but he was a little bit arrogant. For the sake of his wife, he only nagged him a little to repay him. That night Zhao Cheng left the Yamen and had just entered the house.

The boy then said: "Sir, Uncle He is here!"

Zhao Cheng frowned: "Why is he here again!"

The boy said: "This slave looks at Uncle He, he looks so proud, as if he has something good going on."

Zhao Cheng snorted: "What good thing can he do? It's just that he won two more times in gambling." Then he walked in with square steps.

He Shun was drinking tea in the study room of Zhao Cheng and joking with the girl who was standing there. Zhao Cheng came in and coughed, which scared the girl to run out with a cry. He Shun quickly stood up and smiled and said: "Brother-in-law! I am today

My brother-in-law and I are here to give you a big contribution!"

Zhao Cheng glanced at him: "If you just live in peace, gamble less and drink less, you will be doing me a great service."

He Shun jumped up to him and said, "Brother-in-law, don't look down on others, I'm very capable!"

Zhao Cheng sneered: "Oh? Are you going to be a scholar and let me see?"

He Shundao said, "It's nothing to take the exam! I got a piece of good news today, I guarantee you will be promoted and make a fortune!" He lowered his voice and said what he heard.

Zhao Cheng was shocked! "Impossible!"

He Shun sat down next to him, crossed his legs and hummed: "Rongguo Mansion is just a piece of grass on the wall!"

Zhao Cheng put his hands behind his back and walked around the room, saying: "Impossible. The Rongguo Mansion and the Xian Wang have always been on good terms, how could they do such a thing!"

He Shun said proudly: "If I hadn't bumped into him by chance today, the wise king would still have been kept in the dark."

Zhao Chengdao: "But someone deliberately lured you there? Don't be a stick and fall into someone else's trap."

He Shundao: "Today I am helped by the God of Wealth, who gave me a gift of wealth! Besides, I went back to see that person."

Zhao Cheng shook his head: "That's nothing." Because he thought about it again and again, he said to He Shun, "Which teahouse are you drinking tea at? Take me there quickly."

The two of them returned to the teahouse where He Shun had just had tea. The boss and his son recognized Zhao Cheng and hurriedly came over to bow and bow.

Zhao Chengdao: "I heard that a drunkard wearing black came here today." He pushed He Shun again.

He Shun pointed out hurriedly: "That's the one who was sitting there in the afternoon." He gestured about his clothes for a long time.

The waiter said: "It is true that we have such a customer."

Zhao Chengdao: "He went to the latrine halfway?"

The waiter said: "Yes! Originally, the little one showed him the way. Because the latrine is in the backyard of the shop, and there are a few lentil racks behind us, he fainted as soon as he entered. He came back immediately and asked the little guy to lead him to the latrine.

.”

He Shun clapped his hands and said: "How! It's obvious that the gods show the way, and the God of Wealth is just here to show Mr. He the way!"

Zhao Cheng was still hesitant.

He Shun pulled him aside and said: "Brother-in-law, what are you waiting for! If you expose them, can the wise king reward you? High officials and generous salaries will come to you!"

Zhao Cheng thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "The Rongguo Mansion has never liked to get involved in the affairs of the Tianjia, so why bother to wade into that muddy water."

He Shundao: "I'm thinking that one day the Supreme Emperor will come back so that he can be appointed an official. I think the situation of the wise king has been decided. What will happen if the Supreme Emperor comes back?"

Zhao Cheng only waved his hand.

From this day on, Zhao Cheng had trouble sleeping and eating. He refused to believe what his brother-in-law heard, and he couldn't let go of such great achievements. After all, he was only a sixth-grade official. If he made a mistake in this matter, the Rongguo Mansion would crush him to death.

He only needs one finger. He ignores it but is unwilling to do so. What if it is true? How many years has he been a minor official? There has been such a big change in the court, and many seventh- and ninth-grade officials are covered with honors, but he has not

I got half a profit. I thought about it carefully again. If the seventh prince is really raised in the Rongguo Mansion, the only one left is the child of the Han family raised by their eldest wife. It was just that it was too chaotic at the time, and it would be too difficult to find out now.

Disaster.

He then sent an attentive detective to inquire around the Han family's house. Most of the neighbors there had also moved away. A talkative woman heard him inquiring about the Han family's younger brother and came up to her and said, "Then

The child is really blessed! He was originally raised by Uncle Han from the same fan outside, but he couldn't bring him in after years of trouble. Finally, Mrs. Han couldn't raise a son, so she had no choice but to take him in. Isn't this a good fate?

The bastard raised by a fanboy was actually recorded in the name of a serious wife! He only raised it for a few months, and Uncle Han got into trouble and his house was confiscated! Later, his family moved to Muni Yuan in the north of the city, and the two Han family members

The masters died one after another, leaving only two old ladies who were originally serving Mrs. Han. How could they raise a pink-headed son! That bastard was about to starve to death, but there was a noble lady who wanted to raise a son.

By chance, someone recognized the noble man in Muni Courtyard and recommended him. Everyone said that the noble man had sharp eyes, but he couldn't tell that he was a bastard, so he took him back seriously! I heard that he is now dressed in silk and satin, and eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, which is more serious than anything else.

His children are better off." Nai pointed to their yard and smacked his lips, "Even the house was taken back for him. I just don't know whether it will be in his own name or the nobleman who raised him will get it."

The policeman believed her sincere words. He went back to the Muni Courtyard to inquire and found out that someone else remembered this matter. It was indeed the case. However, although the person who recommended the child to the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion was her brother,

Her niece married into the Dingcheng Houfu! Now Zhao Cheng became suspicious again. He asked someone to check the household registration, and it was just as the long-tongued woman said.

Zhao Cheng was getting more and more confused in his mind, not knowing whether to believe it or not. Seeing that he was almost suffering from a demonic disease as he talked about it every day, his wife said, "Why don't you go test it out. If so, they will always

I feel a little guilty; if not, I wouldn’t have bothered you so much. In my opinion, it must be a lie. Shun’er has not had that kind of luck since he was a child, how could he encounter such a good thing!"

Zhao Cheng thought about it, and it made some sense. After thinking about it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet that day, preparing to go to Rongguo Mansion to test it out. However, he exchanged regular clothes and official clothes several times, and finally wore

The official uniform is gone.

When he got off his horse in front of the Rongguo Mansion, he first asked the boy at the door: "Who among your men is in the mansion?"

The boy said: "Second Master Bao, Third Master Huan and Third Master Cong are all here."

Zhao Cheng asked: "Is the prince not here?"

The boy straightened his back and said, "The second master has a cultural gathering today and is going out to a banquet."

Zhao Cheng secretly cried out that it was no coincidence. It took him several days of hard work before he dared to pass. He was told to go back and wait for Jia Zheng to come again one day. He was afraid that he would not be able to wait any longer. He said, "I am a soldier of the Five Cities."

Zhao Cheng from Masi, please see your two third masters."

The boy agreed and ran in. Someone asked him to sit in the concierge first.

Not long after, the boy came over and said, "Master Zhao, our Master Huan Sancong and Sanye have invited you!"

Zhao Chengqiang smiled and followed the boy inside, as if he were carrying twenty-five little mice in his heart, with hundreds of claws scratching his heart! Then they arrived at Qixie Zhai, Baoyu's outer study room, where most of the time Shi Qiusheng stayed now. The two brothers had already

Here they are. Jia Huan changed into the clothes for meeting guests, while Jia Cong was dressed in homely clothes. They all bowed their hands to Zhao Cheng and said, "Master Zhao, long time no see." Zhao Cheng returned the gift hurriedly. A girl brought tea and snacks to them.

A few more pleasantries were exchanged.

After a while, Jia Huan asked: "Master Zhao, what do you want to do here today?"

Zhao Chengsui looked embarrassed and said: "There is something quite difficult, and I would like to come to ask for your advice."

The two brothers looked at each other, and Jia Cong said: "Does it have anything to do with our family? Is it possible that there are slaves out there doing evil? Sir, there is no need to hide it, just say it, we will not protect it, sir, please deal with it according to the law."

Zhao Cheng said hurriedly: "That's not true. It's just..." He acted awkwardly again.

Jia Cong said: "What is a grown man doing? Just talk about it."

Zhao Chengsui gritted his teeth and said, "I hope you two will forgive me... The lower official received a report from someone saying that the son raised by the eldest wife of your house is the queen of the criminal official."

Jia Cong was startled, and then said in a funny tone: "Could it be that the crime committed by Fang Xiong is the crime, but the crime committed by Xian Wangping does not count?"

Zhao Cheng hurriedly said: "It's not that one! The person who reported the news said that he was not the son of Mr. Han, but an imposter!"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's easy. Just ask him and you'll find out. Just say it first, he's so young, don't scare him." Zhao Chenglian claimed that it was.

Jia Cong immediately ordered people to invite Uncle Han to come over, saying that his brother had brought him to see a high official. He then asked: "What kind of criminal official did the reporter say he was? Who convicted him?"

Zhao Chengxuan smiled and said, "You can't talk about this low-ranking official."

Jia Huan hummed: "The fault of Quan'er's family when they were in trouble was all blamed by Fang Xiong, but the wise king did nothing."

Jia Cong glanced at him: "We have 80,000 soldiers and horses! Brother Xian Wang is an idle king. How can he take care of the palace with his servants?"

Jia Huan curled his lips.

Suddenly, a young girl led Han Quan over. Jia Cong smiled and waved, "Quan'er, come and meet us! This is Mr. Zhao Cheng, the commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division."

Zhao Cheng hurriedly raised his eyes to look at the child. He was white and fat, dressed in red and looked like a New Year doll. There was a gold collar hanging from his neck with a name lock, and there were many sachets, purses, jade pendants, etc. jingling on it.

There was also a streak of ink on the sleeve.

Jia Huan also saw the ink strip and laughed loudly: "If it's on the sleeve, it would look like a little cat if it were on the face."

Han Quan said "Ah": "When did you leave it? I didn't know!"
