It is said that Jia Huan went to Yihongyuan after coming out of Su's house and told Luo Tainiang about the matter. Reading at zero o'clock
Luo Tainiang gritted her teeth and said: "As the old saying goes, the sky net is vast and sparse, and it is indeed good. I had doubts about that piece of music back then, but I didn't hear it played by anyone else, so I put it down."
Jia Huan hummed: "I'm afraid that the female gentleman who teaches piano doesn't have any good intentions. She just tried to lure Cheng'er out with some words. If this girl hadn't been taken out secretly to play by us since she was a child, she wouldn't have been able to leave the house twice.
How can a girl who is not mature be envious of her?"
Luo Tainiang said with a smile: "Isn't that right? Miss Su has only been to our building and has been to all the interesting places in the capital." She then recalled, "We really found out that person that day."
Jia Huan said: "Check again."
Luo Tainiang hesitated and said, "Third Master, my subordinates are a little suspicious. This matter is too coincidental. I used Yihongyuan's music to annoy Miss Su, just in case we don't notice."
Jia Huan couldn't help but be startled, thought for a while and said: "Yes, the coincidence is probably man-made. That's all, you check it first." Luo Tainiang responded "yes".
Jia Huan went back to his mansion first. Unexpectedly, Luo Tainiang came to Rongguo Mansion in person just after lunch. Because she came dressed as a man, she was only called "Mr. Luo Tai", so Jia Huan knew that something was urgent. Unexpectedly,
Aunt Zhao was nagging him that it was time to find a wife, and she wouldn't let him go. Jia Huan hurriedly winked at Xiao Que, the girl on the side. Xiao Que stepped forward and said, "Aunt, Aunt Zhou just let you have lunch."
Let’s go see Fourth Master.”
It turns out that Jin Chuan'er gave birth to a son in late autumn last year, and died immediately in childbirth. The child is now being raised by Aunt Zhou, and Jia Zheng named it Jue. Jia Huan knew in his heart that it meant "like a ring missing but not connected".
Secretly sighing that I only care about these things. It has been more than three months since Jia Jue was raised by Aunt Zhou, so Aunt Zhao went over to take a look when she had nothing to do. After being reminded by Xiao Que, Aunt Zhao remembered
When the babbling little fat baby came, Jia Huan was immediately left behind.
Jia Huan muttered: "You are so fat, I will be as fat as Cong'er in the future. The two of them are the Jia family in Hefei." He hurried out to see Luo Tainiang.
Luo Tainiang said anxiously: "Third Master, I just got the letter. The man got seriously ill last autumn and his heart ached. He died before he could survive the winter."
Jia Huan twitched the corner of his lips: "He didn't have it last winter. This spring, Cheng'er changed his husband. Look, it's another coincidence."
Luo Tainiang said: "It's obvious that they have been silenced." Naichou said, "It has been four years. Those who should have been silenced have probably been wiped out long ago, and all the clues have been cleared up."
Jia Huan said: "Let's find out how that person died. It's not like he only killed a Qin girl from Hualou, but now he has killed even a serious young man. Sometimes in order to cover up something, you have to do something else."
There are several pieces." He smiled slightly, "I don't believe that several pieces can be done perfectly."
Luo Tainiang thought: "I personally investigated that matter four years ago..."
"Remember anything suspicious?"
Luo Tainiang hesitated: "I don't know whether I should say it or not." Jia Huan glanced at her. She said, "Below Qin Sangu there is a man named Ding Ming, who is her confidant." Jia Cong raised his eyebrows. "Ding
Ming's mistress was originally a singer from that house, and she was there that day."
Jia Huan asked: "Are you still alive now?"
Luo Tainiang said: "We haven't found out yet."
"Go and find out. Who are the people who listened to the music here and the people who are alive?" After Jia Huan ordered, he withdrew.
Then he ordered someone to go to the stable to pull the horse and went straight to Xiaohuazhi Lane. Jia Xu was not at home, so Shi Li came out to open the door. Jia Huan smiled and said, "Brother Shi, you are always here."
Shi Li said with a smile: "The fifth master is going out to do something, so there needs to be someone here. I am the most useless, so I have to guard a room or something."
Jia Huan glanced at him: "It's obvious that you have other things to do." He then waved his hand and said, "That's all, I don't want to know. I want to ask you about someone."
"Um?"
"There is a person named Ding Ming under Third Aunt Qin." He said, "Third Aunt's sister was originally Liu Dengxi's person, and the two people around her were also registered under Liu Dengxi."
Shi Li then went inside and searched for a while, then came out and threw a thick booklet to Jia Huan. Jia Huan muttered: "So many." When he took it and flipped it through, his eyes widened in shock. The booklet was so dazzling. Recording Qin Sangu's every move, as well as the monthly major business and monthly general ledger numbers. Nai said: "This is a surveillance record. It should be said to be Li Sheng, but why is it Ding Ming?"
Shi Li said: "Sangu Qin knows that one of the two of them must be used by the superiors to monitor her. Little does she know, both of them are."
Jia Huanqi said: "She is just a woman, how can she be so important?"
Shi Li said: "It didn't matter at first. The person on the west side of the city was just killed by her later man, Qin Tieniu, so she had to be replaced. Qin Tieniu is a good person. Qin Sangu gave some evidence and After telling some lies, he believed that Qin Sangu was his lost little aunt."
"Huh?" Jia Huan couldn't help laughing, "This lie is very interesting."
Shi Li said calmly: "At that time, in order to 'avoid disaster' for Qin Sangu, he pretended to marry his aunt. Qin Sangu was really grateful to him. Later Qin Sangu helped him do many things, and Liu Dengxi realized this. She is a talented person who secretly planned to kill Qin Tieniu. Qin Sangu didn't know about this."
"That's not surprising."
"After Qin Sangu gradually became a woman, Liu Dengxi sent Li Sheng and Ding Ming to help her. Qin Sangu was about to start her career at that time, so there was no need to send her two people. Qin Sangu knew that there must be someone here She is stalking, using one to cover the other. She has no selfish motives anyway, she doesn't care."
Jia Huan asked: "Why two?"
Shi Lidao: "The fifth master is still discerning. He said that sooner or later, Sangu Qin will send a second person to his side. It is better to send all at once. Do you know why the Supreme Emperor was so worried about your family back then?"
Jia Huan said: "It should be that Cong'er expressed his loyalty to the wise king quite early, and we are all Uncle Lin's disciples. There is also a quarrel between the uncle and my father."
Shi Li said: "None of these are the most important. At first, your house was not moved because the late emperor was still there, but in fact, a cabinet of evidence had been prepared. Later, the Rongguo Mansion paid back 800,000 silver. At that time, Jia She was really He is the most loyal minister of the Supreme Emperor. I don’t know how many times I have complained behind my back about why Jia She is so incompetent, otherwise I could reuse him." He said with a smile, "The Supreme Emperor was really poor back then... Qin Sangu was so good at it. You've made money. Before your 800,000 yuan, she and Lin Hai were the two money chests of the Supreme Emperor. And she was not only Huo Xuan's woman, but she was also a woman. How could she not have two more people by her side? "
Jia Huan frowned and said, "Not only was she Huo Xuan's woman, but she is also a woman. This doesn't make sense."
"Huo Xuan's woman, I'm afraid she prefers Huo Xuan in her heart; women tend to hide their secrets."
Jia Huan sneered: "Use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman."
Shi Li said: "There are no gentlemen in this profession of spies." Jia Huan pursed his lips. He continued, "Of these two people, Li Sheng sends news to the boss every few days, but Ding Ming is the most important one.
one."
Jia Huan thought for a while and said: "Many years ago, Huo Xuan took his third aunt back home. At that time, Uncle Lin was living in a house owned by Xian Wang in Lychee Lane, and they happened to meet him. That day Uncle Lin was not
I was at home with Cong'er. It was Li Sheng who followed her that time, and we were all suspicious of this person."
Shi Li said with a smile: "That's interesting to say, it was your family's eight hundred thousand silver that brought it out." Jia Huan casually shouted that he was wronged. "The emperor became rich overnight, so he deliberately planned to get some soldiers and horses in his hands.
, and took aim at Huo Xuan. Liu Dengxi wanted Qin Sangu to return to the Nan'an Palace to work as a spy. By the way, he would cause trouble for Huo Xuan and cause him to lose the battle, so that he could justifiably seize the soldiers and horses in his hands. But I was afraid that Qin Sangu was unwilling, so he specially ordered Li
Sheng managed to send her to Huo Xuan for a 'chance encounter'. He chose Li Sheng instead of Ding Ming because Liu Dengxi valued Ding Ming's sons more. If Qin Sangu returned to Nan'an Palace, someone would have to take over the business outside. Qin
The third aunt has a very high prestige among the people under her. Li and Ding, she said, whoever she said would take over the other would not be able to take over. But in her heart, she was unwilling to go back. She was also smart, and could probably guess something afterward. Who lured her to marry her?
When Huo Xuan meets, that person must be the spy next to her. Women, when they are in a bad mood, they will inevitably do impulsive things, and 80% of the time they will hand over their career to another person."
Jia Huan nodded and said, "I heard from Cong'er that the third aunt has been somewhat distant from Li Sheng since that incident."
"Li Sheng, he must have secretly admired Qin Sangu for a long time and didn't want her to return to Nan'an Prince's Mansion, so he used a trick to arrange the meeting place between them near Litchi Lane. Jia Cong's temperament was different from her previous
The big black dog he raised... Liu Dengxi's plan failed."
Jia Huan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Li Sheng still has that thought! Hahaha, thanks to him! You can't tell at all!"
Shi Li said: "We guessed it, otherwise what else could it be? Playing tricks with the boss is just asking for death. Besides, he was originally sent by Liu Dengxi to monitor Qin Sangu. Even if he had such thoughts, he would hide them. Five
Later, I investigated the matter in detail. A few days before that, Huo Xuan was going to see an old friend, but Qin Sangu also had to go out for business, and she was near Huo Xuan's old friend's house. Li Sheng conveniently asked him to do it for her.
It is very easy to meet people, but he just stood there without moving. After waiting for a few days, he managed to lure Qin Sangu to the other end of Lychee Lane, and asked Feng Ziying to come forward to lure Huo Xuan there. It can be seen that it was intentional. "
When Jia Huan heard this, he thought: "That may not be his idea. The guarantee is Brother Feng's. Brother Feng and Sister Sangu have been colleagues and friends for many years. They cherish each other and have a deep friendship."
"It's also possible that both of them are involved."
Jia Huan thought for a while and asked: "In this case, is Liu Dengxi very lenient? As Feng Ziying's son, he couldn't move, so why didn't he kill Li Sheng?"
Shi Li smiled and said, "Fifth Master didn't tell Liu Dengxi after he found out about it."
"ah?"
Shi Li glanced at him: "Although he resents Shi Taijun, he really likes you two. It's probably because Shi Taijun doesn't like you either. He is afraid that this matter will remind Liu Dengxi that you two are very useful."
Jia Huan was startled for a moment, and then he said with emotion: "The fifth uncle is indeed a relative."
Shi Li sighed softly, shook his head and said: "Look, Liu Dengxi ordered Qin Sangu to return to Nan'an Palace. Qin Sangu, Li Sheng, Feng Ziying and even Jia Xu all have their own little ideas, how can this matter be accomplished?"
Jia Huan said: "In my opinion, my fifth uncle is the only one here who is careful." He drew a circle in the air with his finger, "Because these people are all Liu Dengxi's subordinates. A person who is a superior can't do anything about it." Considering the thoughts and wishes of his subordinates, do you still want to expect the people below him to work hard for him? Qin Sangu returned to Nan'an Palace to betray her secretly. This decision is wrong. Li Sheng may not necessarily admire Sangu sister. Anyway, I have been with him over the years. Cong'er didn't even notice. The lack of integrity is out of respect, or something is hurting its own kind."
Shi Li smiled and made a "please" gesture.
"This is the disadvantage of Liu Dengxi as a eunuch. People in the palace are closed in darkness, and their actions are a dead end. Everything is in the hands of others and there is no other way out. They are most likely to become puppets. How can those outside How can it be the same? He has stayed in the palace for a long time and treated Feng Ziying, Qin Sangu and even Li Sheng and others like puppets. Little did he know that people like him, let alone these are smart people. If he treats Qin Sangu like this today, he will treat Qin Sangu like this tomorrow. If you do this to Li Sheng, you will do the same to Feng Ziying the day after tomorrow. No wonder they tried their best to obstruct it."
After hearing this, Shi Li thought for a long time, nodded and said, "That makes sense." He added, "Situ Pan doesn't know Ding Ming's identity."
Jia Huan blinked: "Brother Feng doesn't know either. Is he one of yours now?"
Shi Li said: "Feng Ziying knows about Li Sheng, but not Ding Ming. Ding Ming has only one informant, who is Liu Dengxi's die-hard loyalist. He is planning to seek revenge on Situ Pan so that Feng Ziying can seize the traces. Therefore, we have already He got rid of him. The Fifth Master felt that Ding Ming was of little use and his talents were ordinary, so he ignored him. Now, he probably has no identity."
Jia Huan frowned slightly: "Having no identity means that once your background is cleared, you can change your identity at will. I don't think that someone who is used to being a spy and has never been exposed can live in leisurely life. Brother Shi, Liu Dengxi could have done it four years ago Did you ever order Ding Ming to kill a piano girl from our Yihong Courtyard?"
"Never."
Jia Huan asked again: "Did Liu Dengxi have anyone else monitor him? For example, one of his concubines who was a singer."
Shi Li said: "How much would it cost if everyone sent someone to monitor them? Liu Dengxi is not that rich."
Jia Huan cupped her cheek and said, "Oh. That Ding Ming can be added to those in front."
"What do you mean?"
"He has a little motive. Although we haven't found out what it is yet, this person definitely has his own little motive." Jia Huan grinned and said with a fake smile, "I'm afraid Liu Dengxi is not the only boss of his. I just don't know that someone else sent him to work under Liu Dengxi. , I still took advantage of Liu Dengxi’s lack of investigation and took a job elsewhere.”
Shi Li shook his head and said: "No one else has the ability to send people to Liu Dengxi."
"That's it." Jia Huan said lazily, "That means he felt that there was no future for him working under Liu Dengxi. You see, he thought that Qin Sangu was going back to Nan'an Prince's Mansion, and he could take her place, and there was no plan to save her. After Qin Sangu left, he changed his personnel and opened a new shop. As a result, a large group of us did not join hands to destroy it. Although the matter failed, the temptation was planted. After waiting for many years, Qin Sangu's career The more he did, the more stable he became. His superiors had no intention of replacing her, let alone the idea of moving him elsewhere. He couldn't stay any longer. His boss was Liu Dengxi's confidant, and Liu Dengxi trusted that confidant and also trusted him, so he didn't Make people stare at him. Then he will relax and do other small things without anyone noticing."
After hearing this, Shi Li thought for a moment and said slowly: "That makes sense. This person is worth checking. Is the piano lady you just mentioned the one who frightened the horse and died four years ago?"
Jia Huan nodded and said: "At that time, we all thought it was the flower house nearby that was causing trouble, but now it seems we have other intentions."
Shi Li said: "Qin Sangu has many businesses, but there is no Hualou."
"That's right." Jia Huansui talked about the music for a while, and then said, "Since Ding Ming is involved, he is familiar with us brothers and knows our tempers. Who dares to offend Cheng'er?
, you are just looking for death. Besides, the song was sung in a flower house, so it doesn’t matter to men. Anyone who uses those words to seduce Cheng’er will have to put their neck into the noose.”
Shi Li stretched his body and said, "This person is quite interesting. I've become interested."
Jia Huan hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "In that case, please, let's check it out together."
Shi Li smiled and said, "Why don't we check it out together?"
"Um?"
"I think," Shi Li twisted his neck, "Businesskeeper Qin San will probably be interested as well."
Jia Huan chuckled: "Brother Shi, what you said makes sense!"
