It is said that a young man from the Liu family in Da Nei visited the Liguo Mansion at night and met another night traveler, Shi Li. He also followed him to Rongguo Mansion, allowing Shi Li and Chen Ruijin to capture it without any effort. While Jia Cong took advantage of Chen Ruijin, Shi Li
He tied up the prisoner and carried him into the house. He sat down and asked the young man to stand, shouting: "Are you done yet? Come in quickly." He heard Jia Cong's "Ouch" sound, thinking that Chen Ruijin kicked him.
.The two of them also came in and sat down.
Jia Cong coughed and said, "Tell me." The young man remained silent. Jia Cong asked, "What's your last name? What's your name? Where are you from? Where are you going? How many people are there in the family, how many acres of land, how many cows?"
Tell me, tell me."
Shi Li coughed and shouted to Jia Cong: "Shut up! If you don't know how to ask, don't ask."
Jia Cong said: "This is the standard mode of interrogation." Chen Ruijin also coughed and he shut up.
Chen Ruijin said: "Heir of the Liu family."
Jia Cong glanced at Shi Li proudly, and Shi Li argued: "I can see it too!"
Jia Cong said: "You didn't say what's the use!" Chen Ruijin coughed again. Jia Cong made a gesture of applying plaster to his mouth, patted it tightly a few times, and pursed his lips without saying a word.
Shi Linai said to Chen Ruijin: "I've seen this kid wandering on the roof of Liu Biao's residence. Because I thought he was a thief, I ignored him; I didn't expect him to follow me secretly!" The young man was secretly shocked -
- People have seen him a long time ago. I regret that I was too courageous and followed them in a daze.
Chen Ruijin said: "Which branch of the Liu family and Liu Xinxin actually sent people to investigate Liu Biao? Did they have a falling out?" The young man did not answer.
Jia Cong pursed his lips and hummed. Shi Li pretended to tear off the plaster on his mouth. Jia Cong took a few breaths and said, "Gao Hanlin's son disappeared two days ago. He was in the Hanlin Academy many years ago.
The one who threw a pair of big white eyes on my robe." He then happily told the story of his fight with Mr. Gao over his father's poem in the Hanlin Academy many years ago.
Shi Li was surprised and said: "Young Master Pardon has such a poetic talent? I can't imagine it at all."
The poem written by Jia Cong for Jia She back then was written by Mr. Lu Xun. He glanced at Chen Ruijin and it turned out that he was smiling but not smiling. He probably guessed, and hehehe and then said: "In the year of the chaos in the capital, this Mr. Gao also said to
The little sister of the Xue family asked for marriage, but Brother Xue kicked her away. According to the news from Yihongyuan, there was a strange man named Wang a few days ago. He opened a very small business, but he often went to brothels. And he was in the brothels.
Mingchun Tower! In this area, Mingchun Tower can be regarded as the best selling gold cave."
Shi Li said: "What's so strange about a man going to Mingchun Tower?"
"I've looked through every girl's brand but never stayed overnight. Isn't it strange that I'm so generous?"
Shi Li smiled and said: "That's why I said you are a young master! Just because someone's business is small may not be unprofitable, it's not necessarily their evening work that is the most important business."
Jia Cong glanced at him: "Can you just listen to what I have to say? Who couldn't guess that he must have other business?" Shi Li also pretended to put a plaster on his mouth. Jia Cong also raised his fist and smashed two
Next, he seemed to squeeze the plaster tighter, which made the young master of the Liu family laugh. Jia Cong said again, "The man surnamed Wang not only stays at night, but also doesn't stay long during the day, and he doesn't sleep. He gets drunk and drinks with Mingchun Tower.
Fantou of Yinfengju said that he and the two shopkeepers of Yinfengju were on good terms with each other. Not only did he tell the fantou who was his best friend, but also told many fans. The first shopkeeper of Yinfengju was Brother Huan, the second in marriage.
The man who suddenly died suddenly seemed to have been silenced. Then, you see, before brother Huan came back from his honeymoon, the man named Wang suddenly fell ill and died! Who would believe that he died of illness?
!Another apparent silence. That Mr. Gao has now disappeared again. A few days before his disappearance, he suddenly fell in love with a widow. Guess who it is?"
Chen Ruijin asked: "Could it be the widow named Wang?"
"Correct!" Jia Cong high-fived, "It's that Boss Wang's wife. Now she has inherited Boss Wang's small noodle shop and opened it again."
Shi Li stomped his feet and hummed a few times. Jia Cong immediately put his arms behind his back. Shi Li glared at him and pretended to tear off the plaster that was not there and said: "Small noodle shop? Boss Wang? Mingchun in the north of the city.
Lou? Isn’t that noodle shop in Sesame Alley?”
"Yes!" Jia Cong said, "It's in Sesame Lane, a small noodle shop as big as sesame seeds."
Shi Li glanced at the young man from the Liu family with a strange look on his face: "What do you think he does for a living?"
Jia Cong said: "How did I know that the left is nothing more than stealing, robbing, murdering and smuggling?"
"I'm afraid not." Shi Li said, "If there is no second Wang's Noodle House in Sesame Alley, those people are the Empress Dowager's people. They are in the business of selling royal titles, and your Rongguo Mansion is still a big customer.
.”
"Ha?!" Jia Cong was shocked. "Yinfengju is the property of the Liu family in Da Nei." He pointed at the prisoner, "This guy is from the Liu family in Da Nei."
Shi Li said: "He also spied on Liu Biao, the Duke of Li."
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Jia Cong said: "Why am I getting more and more confused? This matter is such a mess."
Chen Ruijin then asked the young man: "Do you have anything to say?"
The young man from the Liu family smiled bitterly and said, "I'm more confused than you all."
Jia Cong said: "Isn't it convenient for me to give you a name? If not, a code name is fine. Is your surname Liu?"
The young man nodded and said: "I am the seventh in my family." He immediately regretted: How could he tell them his last name? Did Huli Mengden actually take the bait?
Jia Cong just shrugged: "Okay. Liu Xiaoqi, is that boss Wang your family's killer?"
Liu Xiaoqi blurted out: "No. It has nothing to do with our family!"
"A person from the palace can speak so openly." Jia Cong said, "He got drunk and leaked the details of your family's Yinfeng Residence. Maybe you, Mr. Liu, have annoyed him?"
Liu Xiaoqi knew that Yinfengju was not his own but couldn't tell him, so he had to argue: "Is it possible that the word "Se" has a knife on its head?"
Jia Cong laughed and said, "What a slut! That man is obviously a eunuch."
Liu Xiaoqi was stunned: "Eunuch?"
Jia Cong said: "How can a serious man go to a brothel every day and not sleep with his head? At first I suspected that he was disguised as a woman; since he is from the Empress Dowager, he must be a eunuch."
Shi Li high-fived and said, "That's right, he doesn't have a beard!"
"Look!" Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "What did I say?"
Liu Xiaoqi looked at him and said: "Why is the Rongguo Mansion asking about this? Your family is the least willing to cause trouble."
Jia Cong sneered and said: "We are not involved in the trouble, but trouble will come to provoke us. May I ask why the Liguo government sent people to go to Yihongyuan to wander around? Yihongyuan is a brothel, and Mr. Gao wants to visit the brothel.
Can't we extrapolate it? Why did the Liguo Mansion send people to follow our fan when he went out to meet guests?"
Liu Xiaoqi's eyes moved, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I am also investigating the matter of Mr. Gao."
Jia Cong narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Young Master Gao is the grandson of Duke Li Guo. If he goes missing, why don't you go to Li Guo's Mansion to check? This style is wrong, isn't it? Do you still suspect that Master Gao is hidden by the Duke of Li Guo?"
"That's not true." Liu Xiaoqi said: "I suspect that the government is hiding something. If so, it will be even more difficult to find someone."
Shi Li cupped his cheek and said, "You mean, Mr. Gao is missing, and the Liguo Mansion has asked your eldest son, the Liu family, to look for him. You suspected that the Liguo Mansion had something important that they didn't tell you, so you went to their house to check it out?" Liu Xiao
Qi nodded. Shi Li, Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin looked at each other a few times, "Does that mean you didn't find out anything?" Liu Xiaoqi shook his head.
Chen Ruijin said: "There are many things getting into trouble between the two branches of your Liu family and the Empress Dowager. The Rongguo Mansion does not want to get involved. Can I trouble Mr. Liu to go back and ask your old man to tell Mr. Li Guo? I just say that Mr. Gao and the Rongguo Mansion are not involved."
Related, please stop disturbing Yihongyuan’s business, and Rongguo Mansion doesn’t want to manage the government’s affairs, okay? Rongguo Mansion knows so much, Master Liu Qi just heard it.”
Liu Xiaoqi had long seen that they were not malicious, and he was in the hands of others. What else could he do except nod? Chen Ruijin stepped forward and picked it up personally, and the rope buckle was untied. Jia Cong stretched his waist, and Shi Li also
Stretched; Jia Cong yawned, and Shi Li also yawned. Jia Cong waved his hand: "I'm sleepy. Xiaoqi, it's so easy to see you off." Shi Li also waved his hand: "I'm sleepy.
Xiaoqi, why don’t you send me away?” Although they were ordinary words, Liu Xiaoqi found them interesting. Chen Ruijin stood up and said, “I’ll see you out.”
Liu Xiaoqi nodded to Jia Congshili, and Chen Ruijin walked him out with his hands behind his back. When he arrived in the courtyard, Liu Xiaoqi looked back inexplicably. Chen Ruijin said: "Although the Liguo Mansion is not as good as the previous generation, Liu Biao is still a sensible person."
.”
Liu Xiaoqi nodded and said, "Senior Sister Chen is quite powerful in this mansion."
Chen Ruijin said: "It's okay. There are few rules in this mansion and it's quite light."
Liu Xiaoqi looked at her and said, "Are Mr. Jia and you always like this? It's quite interesting."
Chen Ruijin said: "A person only has a few decades in his life, three hundred and sixty days a year, twelve hours a day. You can't get back any of the past hours. Naturally, you have to live a relaxed and comfortable life. Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain?
Have you gone through this world? Mr. Liu brought a pair of shackles for himself, and then put the shackles on the heads of his children and grandchildren. You used to be birds in a cage, not knowing how wide the sky is; but there are still Liu swans
And Liu Mingqiu. I hope Mr. Liu won't be too stubborn."
Liu Xiaoqi was silent for a moment: "Grandpa doesn't allow us to run around."
Chen Ruijin said: "He is getting older, and many thoughts are deeply ingrained in his heart and difficult to shake. The ancients said that if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences. This is true. Your family has always lived in Da Nei, and the old man has experience and knows what to do.
Dealing with the emperor, concubines, and assassins is different now. You are out of the palace. Mr. Liu, like you, is encountering these things outside for the first time and has no experience. Therefore, your grandfather may not be right in everything, and there is something wrong with not protecting everything.
.I’m afraid you have to remind him a thing or two.”
Liu Xiaoqi originally suspected that his grandfather had been coaxed by the Liguo Mansion, but Chen Ruijin's words coincided with his thoughts, and he secretly agreed in his heart. Chen Ruijin opened the door of Lixiangyuan and said goodbye to him with fists, and Liu Xiaoqi walked through the door.
He didn't know that Shi Li shook a lot of ashes from the rope when he tied him up. His family didn't know the prescriptions from Prince Yi Zhong's old department. A few days later, someone was walking his dog on the outskirts of Beijing.
, one of them even ran to the Faxiang Temple and started barking. The dog owner was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he tried to apologize to the little monk who was sweeping the floor - this was originally the family temple of the Liguo Mansion, how could ordinary people afford to offend it?
The Liguo Mansion no longer keeps an eye on Yihongyuan. This is a story for another day.
Liu Xiaoqi went back and told his grandfather everything about today's events, except what Chen Ruijin said at the gate of Lixiangyuan. After hearing this, Mr. Liu thought to himself: This matter was obviously caused by that prince.
.He had no cover at the entrance of Hualou, and Fentou would not keep the secret for him. The prince was transferred back to Dauchi after his family left the palace, so the Liu family didn't know about it and just thought he was dead. But they ignored him.
What does it mean that the government sent someone with the surname Gao to mess with someone else’s little widow? Who did they ask to take away the person with the surname Gao? Could it be someone from the Empress Dowager?
The old man thought about it for a long time and told Liu Xiaoqi: "Go to see Miss Jiang tomorrow and tell her what those people in Rongguo Mansion said and see what she means." Liu Xiaoqi agreed.
The next day, Liu Xiaoqi followed his grandfather's instructions to test the Wang Jiang family with the words of Jia Cong and others. The Wang Jiang family suddenly felt embarrassed. Because Feng Ziying ordered people to strictly guard the news of the death of the guard in the palace of the Empress Dowager, the Liu family also
Living in a secluded place, she had no idea that the Empress Dowager had few people at her disposal. It was just that the Liu family had rebelled, so she naturally did not dare to tell them. She only said that she did not know the whereabouts of Mr. Gao. Liu Xiaoqi was not old.
letter.
Mrs. Wang Jiang should not have contacted the palace frequently, but the matter was so messy that she had to leave in a hurry. When the Empress Dowager and Dai Quan heard about the emergency, they immediately called Eunuch Wang over.
Eunuch Wang knelt on the ground and cried out: "How could I have leaked important information to Fantou!"
The Empress Dowager said coldly: "The Ai family just wants to ask you, have you ever been to Hualou?"
Eunuch Wang hesitated for a while, then lowered his head and said, "I went shopping once out of curiosity, just once. And it wasn't the Mingchun Tower."
How could the Empress Dowager believe him? She turned to look at Wang Jiangshi. Wang Jiangshi said: "The description of 'Boss Wang' mentioned by those fans is correct in every aspect."
Eunuch Wang smiled bitterly and said, "I think even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I wouldn't be able to clean myself."
Wang Jiangshi said: "Perhaps there happens to be another boss Wang who looks like the prince."
Eunuch Wang suddenly said: "That's right! There are so many wonders in the world that such a coincidence is unknown."
Wang Jiangshi said: "I just don't know why Boss Wang also happens to open a noodle shop in Sesame Lane, and he happens to be familiar with the shop owner of Yinfengju."
"That's all." The Queen Mother had now concluded that Boss Wang had said a lot of things that he shouldn't have said while visiting the brothel, but she couldn't live without a guard by her side, so she had to swallow her breath. "I won't mention this matter anymore. Dai
Quan, in your opinion, what's going on with the government? What's going on with that guy surnamed Gao?"
Dai Quan frowned and sighed: "I'm afraid the Liguo Mansion is really targeting Yinfengju." The two of them started discussing.
Eunuch Wang had been kneeling on the ground and no one called him up. He also knew that the Empress Dowager had determined that he was the one who leaked the news to Feng Yue. He felt aggrieved and didn't know how to confess. He secretly sighed: I just found out about the injustice of the Liu family today, how depressing it is.
