According to the convention of Rongguo Mansion, the newlyweds can go on their honeymoon. Jia Huan is mediocre in martial arts and Princess Jian'an is a weak woman. They have to bring a group of bodyguards with them. Therefore, the matter between the Empress Dowager and Yin Fengju is naturally the groom's official.
Can't control it.
Neither Jia Cong nor Shi Li were groom officials. They were sitting face to face in Lixiangyuan drinking tea. Jia Cong glanced at Shi Li, meaning, hurry up. Shi Li coughed and said, "The plan has changed. Thank you for that."
Lin Luan."
Everyone was short of money. Shi Li's people managed to leak the sale of the stolen shop in Yinfengju to a greedy Qingqian under the crown prince. As expected, that man made a plan to find this property for the crown prince. Shi Li originally thought
Use their hands to force Yinfengju to scare the snake and see if they can take action. I don't want to drop a Lin Luan out of thin air.
Two days after Aunt Liu Yunxi arrived at Lixiangyuan, a woman took advantage of the opportunity to deliver things to someone and tried to test Lin Luan. Lin Luan immediately knew in his heart that she might not be the Queen Mother's, so he pretended not to know what he meant. Jia Cong
It was said that the affairs of the Empress Dowager were under the control of Uncle Shi, so Lin Luan took advantage of Shi Li's visit to the house to tell him about the matter.
Shi Li checked and found out that this woman's surname was Jin, and she used to serve Jia Mu. After Jia Mu's death, she stayed in the courtyard to do some leisure work of cleaning the courtyard and pruning flowers and trees. There were two sons in the family.
, the eldest son only stayed at the west corner gate, and it was best to gamble; the second eldest son followed Jia Zheng around and had a clever temper. Because the eldest son was a servant and didn't have much money, he never gambled much; but recently, I don't know who he was.
They hooked up and made a big bet. At first, he almost lost his life, but then suddenly he won for several days in a row. Not only did he regain his original position, but he also won a lot of money. Shi Li smiled calmly, this boss Jin was obviously very impressive.
He set a trap so that he could hold the golden lady. He ordered Lin Luan to hold the golden lady temporarily.
The next day, Lin Luan pretended to be curious and went to take a look at Jia Mu's yard. At that time, the yard had been tidied up for Jia Huan and Princess Jian'an. Mrs. Jin took advantage of others' unpreparedness and made a secret message to Lin Luan. This time she made it clear.
Lin Luan was shocked. He quietly took out the token from his sleeve and held it in his hand. After hesitating for a long time, he showed it to her.
Mrs. Jin took it over and looked at it carefully for a long time. She smiled widely and said, "It is indeed Aunt Lin." She then whispered, "The Empress Dowager asked Aunt Liu what was going on."
Lin Luan also whispered: "That day I told Mr. Cong that I missed Sister Yunxi very much. I never thought that he would bring Sister Yunxi back the next day! I don't know why."
Mrs. Jin was overjoyed: "So, Mr. Cong thinks highly of Aunt Lin?"
Lin Luan said: "I have cured Mr. Su, and the two third masters are grateful to me."
Mrs. Jin nodded: "Aunt Lin, what else can you tell the superiors?" Lin Luan then followed what Shi Li said and said, "Liu Hu is determined to imitate a person named Zhou Xiaolan and go abroad to become the leader of the country." Mrs. Jin did not
I didn't know who Liu Hu and Zhou Xiaolan were, so I just took down her words and left. Mrs. Jin's informant was an old beggar, and on the other side of the old beggar was the eunuch's nephew's house not far from the Forbidden City.
Two days later, Mrs. Jin came to Lin Luan again and said: "The Empress Dowager said you have worked hard. Thanks to you, we know that Liu Hu has indeed betrayed. Now I want you to go visit a person named Liu Xianglian."
"
Lin Luan agreed, then turned around and told Shi Li. Shi Li said: "Tell her tomorrow that Liu Xianglian was an escort of the Taiping Escort Bureau earlier, and then went to do business on her own. But for some reason, the two Jia family members
None of the third masters trust him very much, but everyone else in the escort agency trusts him very much. He is still said to be a good friend to the outside world. By the way, Jia Lian is on good terms with him." Lin Luan followed his words to Mrs. Jin the next day.
Mrs. Jin later told Lin Luan: "Aunt Lin remembered this man named Liu Xianglian and paid attention to him. The Empress Dowager guessed that he was the remnant of Prince Xian Yi Zhong. At first, he was afraid that he was a spy when he joined the Taiping Escort Bureau. Later, he thought he accidentally leaked the information.
Something was wrong, so I had to leave. A few days ago, the Empress Dowager had a great plan and it was already done. I don’t know how to leak the news and ruin Liu Xianglian’s daughter-in-law." Lin Luan nodded repeatedly. She
Then he relayed it to Shi Li, who smiled and clapped his hands twice. The Empress Dowager thought that she had poisoned Princess Jian'an, but she asked Qin Keqing to cure it. The slightest difference is a thousand miles away. If there is still something wrong in the palace,
People with the surname Liu will inevitably be suspected.
Two days before Jia Huan's wedding, an old woman sneaked into Yinfeng Residence. She bravely found the big shopkeeper, and she looked at her for a long time and said a lot of weird things. The big shopkeeper's heart was
Fan Suspicion: This person obviously wasn't a spy, and he didn't let such a rookie out to seek death. But he didn't dare to kick her out, fearing that something was really going on, so he winked and asked her to follow him.
The old woman looked around and saw that no one else was around. She carefully took out a purse from her arms, and from the purse she took out something wrapped in a veil with silk thread wrapped around it. The big shopkeeper was holding his breath and watching her intently.
It took half a day of effort to untie the silk thread and open the veil - inside was another piece of handkerchief with another ball of silk thread wrapped around it. The old woman untied the three layers of silk thread and the veil, and finally revealed the hidden phoenix wrapped inside.
Bronze medal for residence.
The big shopkeeper nodded and asked, "Who are you?"
The old woman's voice trembled slightly: "I am Uncle Ma's mother-in-law. Uncle Ma is now in the prince's house and ordered me to report the news."
The big shopkeeper suddenly realized that this "Uncle Ma" must be one of his own, and he couldn't get away for some reason, so he sent his mother to come forward. He asked, "What does Uncle Ma have to say?"
The old woman hurriedly said: "The prince has taken a liking to Yinfengju, and is planning to take it with a group of people below. Our uncle has an idea of 'a fox pretends to be a tiger's power', let me talk to the big shopkeeper." The big shopkeeper asked what it was.
She smiled and said, "Didn't Prince Yan have a house in Lizhi Lane where Princess Jian'an now lives? I know an old sister there." The old woman lowered her voice and said, "Our uncle said that the prince still touches the house.
If we don't know who owns Yinfengju, we might as well borrow Princess Jian'an's dowry to enter the Rongguo Mansion and trick the prince into thinking that this shop belongs to King Yan, so he won't dare to act rashly."
The big shopkeeper thought for a moment and asked, "How to seduce him?"
The old woman then explained Uncle Ma's plan and said: "Our uncle said that we must first trouble the shopkeeper to try to hint to Jia Cong of the Rongguo Mansion. This person is the least likely to cause trouble, so he will naturally not go to the King of Yan for verification. Jia Cong will talk about it later.
With the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince dared not ask his father for verification. Even if there is an omission, it can muddy the water, delaying time, and come up with other ideas if everything is not guaranteed?"
The big shopkeeper felt that this plan was extremely ill-conceived. He just wanted the prince to target Bubi, so he was willing to give it a try. Fortunately, Aunt Lin Luan had entered the house, and he knew the old beggar who contacted her.
The next day Mrs. Jin sneaked to Lixiangyuan to find Lin Luan, saying that her superiors had asked her to pretend that she had leaked the truth and told Jia Cong that the Yinfeng Residence was the result of King Yan colluding with the Queen Mother to secretly sell things in the palace. Lin Luan naturally complied.
Come down.
On the day of Princess Jian'an's wedding, "Uncle Ma" pretended to be a guest and went to Yinfengju. This man's name was Ma Sili, he was thirty-seven or eighteen years old, he was honest, elegant, and amiable. He was originally a failure.
A Confucian scholar came to the capital to seek refuge with his cousin because of a disaster at home.
His cousin's surname was Luo, and he himself worked as an aide under King Yan, and had a secret personal relationship with King Yan's third son. Coincidentally, the mute beauty Ma, whom his cousin Mr. Luo presented to His Highness the Third Prince two years ago, also happened to be named Ma.
, now she is extremely favored. When Mrs. Ma heard that Mr. Luo's cousin was named Ma, she thanked Mr. Luo for taking care of her in the early years and asked if she could be acquainted with Ma Sili so that she could be recommended to His Highness. Mr. Luo
He thought to himself: "My cousin is brave and careful, and no one knows about my relationship with him. I thought, let him go to the prince first." Ma's eyes lit up. With that, Mr. Luo asked someone to take Ma Si
He was immediately recommended to the crown prince.
It’s just that there are many people under the crown prince, and Ma Sili is not very successful. The year before last, he was drunk in a tavern and recited a poem, and the person under the Empress Dowager heard it, so he joined the gang. Later I found out that this
My uncle used to be an important eunuch around the Empress Dowager, and he still lives near the palace.
When the big shopkeeper of Yinfengju heard that Ma Sili was involved with the two sons of King Yan, he clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Ma can be worth several people."
Ma Sili bowed his hand humbly, and then explained to him in detail how to act today, and said firmly: "Don't worry, shopkeeper. Zhao Cheng of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division is as timid as a mouse, and he most dare not provoke the powerful. It is said that he is
King Yan, Jia Cong of the Rongguo Mansion is the least likely to cause trouble, and will dodge whenever he can. With the two of them, this plan will definitely work."
The chief shopkeeper also hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "Thank you for your kind words, sir." Then he acted accordingly.
It happened to be a coincidence. On the day when Princess Jian'an was getting married, there was a house not far from the Forbidden City that the third eunuch of Prince Yan's family fell in love with. He said it had excellent feng shui and was extremely prosperous. The eunuch couldn't help but give him some money.
, and drove away the original owner of the house, the nephew of a certain eunuch in the palace. The man refused, so he was beaten to death by the evil slaves. For such a trivial matter, even the owner of the house was not affected, and no one reported the case at all. Naturally, Zhao Cheng did not know about it.
Although the security of the Forbidden City was not as tight as in the early years, King Yan's soldiers were not vegetarian. Yinfengju immediately cut off contact with the palace. The next day, Ma Sili came to Yinfengju again, asking urgently what happened in the palace.
?The big shopkeeper only found out about this last night and was confused. Ma Sili also knew about Boss Wang of the noodle restaurant in the north of the city. The informant told him not to contact him unless it was absolutely necessary, so he had never been there before.
The people from the Prince's Mansion were on the lookout, and Yinfengju never contacted Boss Wang again. However, the matter was too big, and their supervisors were all the eunuch's nephews. It was a "last resort" and they had no choice but to go over to discuss it together.
After leaving Yinfengju one after another, the big shopkeeper got rid of the following detective and changed his clothes, and they went to the noodle shop together.
Although Boss Wang has some skills in climbing over walls, he cannot enter or leave the palace at will. He is also at a loss. Because they were gathered in a hurry today, and things outside were happening one after another, so they did not explain clearly the origins of each person. They just followed each other.
Ma Sili's expression and the meaning behind his words made Boss Wang and others think he was from Yinfengju. But just as he said a few words in a panic about the eunuch's nephew, two noodle eaters came outside.
Boss Wang had to go out to attend to the guests. Guests kept arriving one after another, and they were all strangers passing by. The big shopkeeper and Ma Sili were too frightened to stay any longer. Before they had time to discuss any important matters, they each sneaked out of the back door.
.
That afternoon, when the big shopkeeper went out to do some business, he frightened Ma and died in the street. The noodle shop boss Wang learned from the street idlers that he didn't want to arouse suspicion, so he rushed to Yinfengju at the second watch that night to investigate. Ma Si rushed over as soon as it got dark.
. Because he has a good demeanor and speaks in a reasonable manner, the people in the shop can't help but listen to him. He is in charge of things at this moment. When he saw Boss Wang, he was overjoyed: "There is someone to discuss it with!" He summed up the two of them.
How could it be such a coincidence? Two of their important people died in two days in a row. There must be a traitor! So they decided to temporarily close Yinfengju for a while by organizing a funeral for the big shopkeeper, and then talk about it later.
Ma Sili arranged everything in the shop neatly and orderly, and Boss Wang appreciated his talent. According to the account clerks, Ma Sili did not usually work in the shop, so he asked him what he did. Ma Sili then said
After knowing his origin, he just changed his supervisor from the eunuch nephew whom he told the big shopkeeper a few days ago to the big shopkeeper. He sighed: "I was originally ordered to lurk in the prince's house, but because of the prince's disdain, we let him keep an eye on our shop.
I can’t even speak.”
Boss Wang comforted and said: "It has nothing to do with you. You don't know these people. Whatever they want, they can put their hands in the frying pan." He was secretly happy. This person is good at pulling the strings! He works under the prince again.
, is also the cousin of Mr. Luo, King Yan's staff, and Mr. Luo is also on good terms with the third child. If used well, he will be an excellent chess piece for the Empress Dowager. What's more, he is really talented.
Ma Sili was silent for a moment and then said: "There is a man named Feng in the prince's house. He is Feng Tang's nephew. Feng Ziying doesn't want him to work with the prince and doesn't like him very much. However, the prince values this person very much. As mentioned above.
One day, Zhao Cheng from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division suspected that our shop belonged to King Yan and did not dare to act rashly. Mr. Feng personally went to find Feng Ziying to trick Feng Ziying. After lying for a long time, he came back and told the prince that the shop did not belong to King Yan. "
Boss Wang asked: "Speaking of which, people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division went to Rongguo Mansion the night before yesterday. Do you know what happened?"
Ma Sili immediately told him that Yinfengju had used the trick of "fake the power of a tiger" in the past few days, but he did not say that it was done by him, let alone that the old woman was his mother-in-law. Boss Wang naturally thought that it was the big shopkeeper who had just died.
He frowned and said, "It's such an ill-conceived plan, it's too abrupt." Ma Sili smiled bitterly, and Boss Wang thought that he himself did not agree with this plan. It just happened that the boss was the boss and he was a subordinate. He
There was nothing he could do, so he patted his shoulder in relief and asked what happened next.
Ma Sili said with a smile: "Even Feng Ziying was alarmed later. I don't know what Aunt Lin said to Jia Cong. Anyway, Jia Cong helped us fool the prince, Feng Ziying and Zhao Cheng."
Boss Wang said happily: "So it seems that Aunt Lin has gained Jia Cong's trust?"
Ma Sili winked and said, "I asked about the people who followed them at the Prince's Mansion yesterday, and it seemed that they were more than just trustworthy."
Boss Wang clapped his hands and said: "There is no way out of mountains and rivers, and there is another village with bright willows and flowers!" He felt a little better. Seeing that Ma Sili was reliable and he couldn't stay long, he encouraged everyone and ordered them to listen to Ma.
Si Li, Yin Feng Ju and others knew that his status was probably higher than that of their own boss, so they all killed him. Boss Wang then quietly left. (.. )
