86_86438 On this day, news came from the Lin Mansion. Hu Yong was suddenly very enthusiastic about working for others. He was going out to do some work today. Yang Song said: "I will follow you. Read at midnight."
Qin Sangu smiled and said: "I'd better go, there aren't many people in the world who can beat me in tracking people."
Yang Song knew that she was capable, so he stopped robbing her.
Qin Sangu quietly summoned Yao'er and told him: "The night before yesterday, Mr. Tan accidentally fell asleep while reading official documents, and the candlelight burned a large cabinet of documents."
Yao'er's brows moved: "Is he injured?"
Qin Sangu praised: "No wonder you are said to be smart. He is not in trouble at all, only his clothes are blackened."
Yao'er knew that this person was innocent.
"But he has never investigated the clues, and now the news has been suppressed. I think that although this person is capable and loyal, he is a bit afraid of success. I am afraid that he is anxious and makes a mistake in the rush and leaks the information. What if the information comes out?
Master Lin found out about the commotion and wanted to see what was going on."
Yao'er said: "I understand. I will never leave your husband. I shouldn't let him hear anything, and he won't be able to hear it."
Qin Sangu nodded and went outside the Lin Mansion to wait for Hu Yong.
Hu Yong was quite alert, and went out to do things honestly. Before returning home, he went to a small tea stall to have tea. Coincidentally, there was a shoe repairman opposite the tea stall who was also thirsty, so he came over to share a table with him. Qin Sangu went to them
He sat down on a bench nearby and listened for a long time. The two of them were just chatting. Until Hu Yong finished his tea and left, the shoe repairman also went back to repair his shoes. However, Hu Yong had not seen the suspicious person beside him that day, Qin.
The third aunt thought about it carefully, and the only one left was the shoe repairman. When Hu Yong returned home, she went back and guarded the shoe repairman until he closed the stall, and then quietly followed him away.
Only halfway through, Sangu Qin knew that she was following the wrong person. This person actually looked back several times, which showed that he was also a good boy.
The shoe repairman did not return to his own place, but went to a rather large inn. He said that Li Daguan, who lived in the herringbone room, had made an appointment with him to repair his shoes. After a while, the waiter in the shop asked him to come in. Qin Sangu
Throwing a bundle of burning straw into the kitchen of the hotel, everyone was so frightened that they thought they had lost the water and rushed to put out the fire. She looked through the shopkeeper's registration book and was shocked: Mr. Li Daguan was actually an envoy from the Jinling Zhen family who came to purchase.
The one who collects items for the Dragon Boat Festival is called Li Ji. I quickly sneaked upstairs to listen outside Li Ji’s house.
But I heard the shoe repairman say: "If I can't protect him, then who else will he offend?"
Li Jidao: "Don't worry about this."
The shoe repairman said "yes".
Li Ji asked again: "Did he say anything else?"
The shoe repairman said: "He said he didn't see Yang Song, which was a little strange."
Li Jidao: "It's not surprising, Lin Hai doesn't trust many people, so Yang Song probably has to do something else."
The shoe repairman said: "The other ones are gone."
Only then did Qin Sangu understand what Hu Yong had just said at the tea stall, "There is a pine tree in the front yard of our house that the master loved very much. The pine tree that he planted himself in the early years has disappeared inexplicably!" She still felt a little bit at that time!
Strange, how could the tree disappear? It turned out to be Yang Song, which made me laugh.
The shoe repairman repaired Li Ji's shoes, begged for a few rewards with a smile, and left.
Qin Sangu went back and told Lin Hai what she had seen today. Lin Hai was surprised: "I have never had anything to do with the Zhen family. Their old lady is the old saint's wet nurse, how can she be touched! Besides, there is really no hatred. They
It makes no sense to stab me at home."
Yao'er said from the side: "Cong'er once told me that the Zhen family in Jinling alone picked up the car four times, and the gold piled up and the silver was spent like water. I don't know where the spare money came from, but I was able to buy four houses." It’s lively and lively.”
Lin Hai smiled and said: "They borrowed a lot of money from the treasury, and they were also given money from above, and they were sincerely promised to make money. Naturally, there are many illegal things. Anyway, as long as there is an emperor, there will be a day for their family."
Yao'eryin said: "Do you have evidence of their illegality in your hands?"
Lin Haidao: "Why should I take their mistakes? If the old sage is gone, it will be the same whether they are wrong or not."
Jia Si suddenly remembered what Jia She whispered to his Gong Sanyi in the early years, "Everyone in the mortal family encounters the confiscation of their homes and annihilation, breaking the law is just an excuse." Put together with Lin Hai's words, it is indeed good. Today I just I was afraid that I would attack the Zhen family when the old saint came back from the west. I couldn't help but feel a little funny thinking about the rich and noble style I saw in their house a few days ago.
Qin Sangu said: "I have always heard that their family is still talking about it on the salt road."
Lin Hai sighed: "I gave them everything I could to give them face."
Yao'er immediately said: "Then there is a time when I won't give it?"
Lin Haidao: "Of course I can't give them all. After all, I am working for the saint. They are so greedy. They want to take advantage of anything that is beneficial. Am I receiving the salary of the saint, but I am collecting money for others?" Everyone understood. The others must be the princes. "Besides, their family has also been in charge of the Lianghuai Salt Administration for four terms, so they have already made enough money."
Yao'er's eyes lit up: "Have they also been in charge of salt affairs?"
Lin Haidao: "That was when the old saint was here. After I ascended the throne, I extended my term in order to show favor to my old ministers. No matter how stupid they are, they should know that there will be no future. Even if I die, it will belong to others."
Yao'er said: "But others are easier to fool than my uncle. They are experts, but it is easy to fool a layman like Mr. Tan. Judging from the fact that they bribed Hu Zhong to assassinate, they are all using small tricks. If they have military power If someone wants to harm my uncle, they can send dead soldiers here instead of going around in circles like this. This shows that the murderer behind the scenes has no soldiers."
Lin Hai shook his head: "It's not difficult for them to make money if they don't commit the crime."
Jia Si sneered: "Last time, I was ordered by the master to go to their home to retrieve the money that had been deposited with them in the early years, but it took me so long. Although everyone was well clothed and well-fed, look at the difficulty of giving the money. You know, they are starting to get poor now."
Lin Hai still said: "A centipeded insect can die without stiffness. No matter how poor their family is, they don't have to take such a big risk for money." Yao'er couldn't help but laugh out loud. Lin Hai glanced at him: "What are you laughing at?"
Yao'er said: "I remembered what Cong'er said, and I don't know where he heard it from. Most of the people who commit crimes in the world do it for money. No matter how much money they have, they just want more. Wisdom. Those who do not need to break the law can do things, but those who break the law cannot become wise."
After hearing this, Lin Hai thought for a while, clapped his hands and praised: "Which woman in their family is so smart and sensible that she can teach this little thing."
Qin Sangu hurriedly asked: "That little devil Cong'er was taught by a girl from the Jia family?"
Lin Haidao: "Yes, I just don't know who it is."
Qin Sangu counted carefully for a long time, but she couldn't think of who it was.
Jia Si waved his hand and said, "90% of them belong to the Zhen family. I think the money I spent in the early years is not much left now, and I don't want to let them miss it."
Qin Sangu also said: "The ancients said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality."
Lin Hai was a little moved by what they said. He held the tea cup and thought for a long time, and said: "If it were their family, it would be difficult even if they had real evidence."
Qin Sangu said: "I will go to the Zhen family to inquire about it personally. If it is confirmed, the court will naturally deal with it." She turned around and glanced at Yao'er. Yao'er blinked and quietly extended a thumbs up to her. Qin
The third aunt knew that she had guessed that morning. Rumors had spread in the Xunyan Censor's Mansion, but she didn't hear it because of Lin Hai's appearance. She thought Yao'er had managed to interrupt it. If this was true, I'm afraid this matter shouldn't delay too much.
For a long time. So she thought for a while and said: "Sir, I have a plan to scare the snake. Can you listen to it?"
Lin Hai hurriedly asked what the plan was.
Qin Sangu said: "Your Majesty sent your servant Hu Yong to the Zhen family. I will follow you to see what's going on. As your Majesty said, the risk of assassinating you is extremely high. They have the Supreme Emperor here, so there is no need to take such risks."
, I’m afraid there are stronger backers behind it.”
Lin Hai thought for a while: "That's fine." He wrote a letter in person and gave it to Yang Song.
When Qin Sangu saw Yang Song, she remembered that "there is a pine tree" and was about to go back to the front yard of the Lin Mansion. She couldn't help but smile. Yang Song was stunned for a long time with her laughter.
The next day, Yang Song showed up to deliver a letter to the Lin Mansion, asking the old housekeeper to deliver Hu Yong to the Jinling Zhen family on behalf of Lin Hai.
The old housekeeper had not heard from Lin Hai these days and was very frightened. Now when he saw him, he felt as if he had received sunshine and asked quickly: "Is the master safe?"
Yang Song nodded and said: "Don't worry, old man, I'm fine. It's just that my whereabouts cannot be exposed for some reason now." After handing over the letter, the old housekeeper was inexplicably confused, but Yang Song didn't say anything, only saying that the master still has someone else.
He ordered and left.
When Hu Yong heard that Lin Hai was going to send him to the Zhen family, his face turned pale. When the old housekeeper saw this, he thought he had offended the Zhen family, so he sent him to apologize to them and scolded him. He was afraid that he would go to the Zhen family.
His family was being retaliated against, and Lin Hai didn't mention sending his whole family there, so he left his wife and children for him. Hu Yong was extremely grateful. A few days later, the Lin Mansion sent five or six people to escort him, and Hu Yong bravely went to Zhen.
Went home. Qin Sangu gave Yaoer Yang Song and others some warnings and followed them quietly.
Now that the person responsible for the assassination was roughly figured out, Lin Hai breathed a sigh of relief and wrote a letter to the capital to report that he was safe. He thought that Qin Sangu would definitely write a note to the capital, so he did not inform his superior and Situ Pan. Little did he know that Qin Sangu
I am extremely cautious, fearing that the news will be leaked elsewhere. In the early years in the camp, she followed the principle of "if you are outside, you will not accept your orders", so there has been no retribution for the time being.
As early as when he succeeded in kidnapping him, Jia Si ordered Yao'er to write a successful report overnight and fly to Beijing to send it to the client. When Daiyu accepted the letter, she knew that the Taiping Escort Bureau had succeeded, and the worries for the past few months were swept away.
Guang, smiled and praised, "Six taels of silver are not spent in vain."
Jia Cong felt relieved and ran to the garden of the mansion in the south of the city to break the mechanism. Because he suddenly thought that he was too weak alone, he took Jia Huan to break it together. Jia Huan heard that there was a tunnel and immediately
I also remembered the many legendary stories of the Tang Dynasty that Tanchun told him, and I was very motivated. Sure enough, the two children put their strength together and actually broke it! There was only a squeaking sound of iron chains, and the tunnel mouth was really exposed.
The two of them were so happy that their heads were almost smoking, so they rubbed their hands and got ready to go.
I heard someone behind me say: "Huh? You also know this?"
The two of them were startled, and when they looked back, it was Qin Keqing standing there with a baggage and a smile. He patted his chest hurriedly, and Jia Cong said, "Sister Qin! Why are you talking so suddenly?"
Qin Keqing smiled and said, "The reason why I'm not walking lightly is because both of you are thinking about that."
Jia Cong then recalled what she had just said and asked quickly: "So, you also know this tunnel?"
Qin Keqing nodded and said: "I am no longer the young lady who rode in cars and sedans every day. At the beginning of the year, when I was here to teach the servants in your house, I often took the tunnel, which is especially convenient on rainy days."
Jia Cong couldn't help but sit down on the ground! "Do you often leave?"
Qin Keqing said: "I often go home because of inconvenience, so I still live in Zhenwu'an. There is a road here that leads to Zhenwu'an."
Jia Cong frowned: "I heard there are four exits in total, how come one of them is in Zhenwu'an?"
Qin Keqing said: "This is one, Zhenwu'an, Mr. Gong's residence, and there is another one that he never told me."
Only then did Jia Cong realize that of the "four exits" Gong Sanyi mentioned that day, only this one was in the house. Therefore, he had spent so much effort in the past two years searching in the study and warehouse, and could not find any trace of it.
No, because there are no exits at all in those places. I couldn't help but secretly curse myself for being stupid. These tunnels naturally lead to the outside. How could there be any reason to open four or five exits in a house? I understood secretly in my heart,
I'm afraid Qin Keqing has completely let Gong Sanyi come under his control, and he can be regarded as a member of Prince Yizhong's faction. Although there is no one in his family long ago.
He then heard Qin Keqing say: "Are you going to go down like this without bringing an oil lamp and a firebrand? It's all dark over there."
Jia Cong hurriedly asked: "Do you go down there with a light every day?"
Qin Keqing nodded: "Of course." He took out a fire seal from his arms.
Jia Cong frowned and thought, since these entrances are always closed, the underground oxygen concentration may be relatively low, so as not to cause carbon monoxide poisoning. However, there was no flashlight at that time, so he had to think in vain for a long time and gave up. He went up to her and asked her
He smiled and said: "Good sister, take us down~~ We have known this for a long time, but because we can't break the mechanism, we can only watch helplessly."
Qin Keqing chuckled, saying, "You two are too young." Then he took the lead and walked away.
Jia Huan suddenly pulled Jia Cong down and asked quietly: "There won't be an ambush or anything like that?"
Jia Cong was stunned: "What agency is ambushing you?"
Jia Huandao: "It's the Pinghua stories you usually tell, about the Egyptian treasures, the Mayan tombs, and the ancient buildings of the Zhang family, the ultimate in Changbai Mountain."
Jia Cong glared at him: "Those are places where no one is allowed to enter. This is the road that Mr. Gong and Sister Qin usually take. Where can there be an agency? Are you trying to trick yourself?" He followed them hurriedly.
Jia Huan thought it reasonable and trotted down.
The two of them were so excited that they looked down the neat bluestone steps at their feet. They didn't notice where Qin Keqing broke off the opening of the tunnel, and the tunnel mouth closed. The surrounding area gradually darkened, but they saw a bright light coming from the distance.
Come on, Jia Cong couldn't help but let out an "ouch".
Qin Keqing waved the fire break and said with a smile: "Actually, only this small section of the road is for fire. If you are familiar with it, you can use it even if you don't use it." Then he led them down. Jia Cong secretly admired Prince Yizhong for being really good.
If you have money, this tunnel will be built, spacious and neat, just like a subway station that was often used by later generations.
Sure enough, when he turned a corner at the front, oil lamps were burning on both sides. Jia Cong asked curiously: "Wouldn't it be wasteful to just keep lighting the oil like this?"
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "There weren't many people leaving originally. There was a mechanism on the wick, and I don't know what it was. I turned on the mechanism when I was closing the door, so the light came on. After we passed this
I closed it here, and naturally there was a mechanism to catch the wick and extinguish it. Then I opened the next section."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "Could it be that...the lamp oil that many of the benefactors of Zhen Wu'an used for their wishes was used here?"
Qin Keqing turned to look at him: "You are quite smart."
Jia Cong made a face. He just remembered the nun in the original novel who asked Jia Mu to beg for alms and lit a lamp. The two children followed happily. There were actually wide bluestone floors and oil lamps along the way. They couldn't help but praise, "It's repaired."
very nice!"
They walked for five or six miles when they suddenly saw an upward bluestone ladder at the corner ahead. Sure enough, Qin Keqing smiled and said, "The top is Zhenwu'an, do you want to go up?"
Jia Cong hurriedly said: "We are still young, and there is no problem in being male or female. It would be a good idea to go and offer incense sticks to the Buddha."
Qin Keqing nodded, led them up seriously, and opened the tunnel...
