Gan Kexi and Yin Qiye hid in the farm and eavesdropped on what Jia Cong, a farmer from SHIELD, was saying, and then brought up the matter of King Jin expelling his second brother. Gan Kexi waved his hand and said: "That man was innocent and was in trouble. There is someone who is greedy for money and uses his power.
It is possible to oppress the people, but it is impossible to make friends with generals."
Yin Qiye said: "Master Gan is also a man who has read history books. Hu Hai almost killed all the children of Ying Zheng, and most of them were innocent. You, the King of Jin, did not use the crimes he committed - greed for money and bullying the people as an excuse to expel him.
He, but the general will banish him for a private affair that he has never committed, why is that?"
Gan Kexi chuckled and said, "How can I explain this in front of the Queen Mother when I chase away my own brother for just a few small coins?" Yin Qiye raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Gan Kexi thought deeply.
After a while, Master Yin Qi said: "It's just that we didn't expect that Jia Cong would persuade your sister like this. Now...are you really going to send her to North America?"
Gan Kexi said: "Gan Lei is our uncle after all. If you send someone over, he has to accept it."
"You want to rely on him to collect it."
"yes."
Yin Qiye smiled: "Master Gan, I like you."
Gan Kexi handed her over: "Both each other. I will write a letter later and hire the Taiping Escort Agency to send her to North America."
Master Yin Qi said: "How about asking your sister to write a letter to His Highness the Fourth Highness?"
Gan Kexi glanced at him: "That's fine." The two looked at each other and smiled.
The next day, Situ Wei received a package from the post office, which turned out to be the original copy of Zhao Mengfu that was stolen from the Queen Mother's backyard! He was shocked. There was also a letter, written by Gan Kechun himself. It turned out that the Yan Kingdom
Gan Lei, the Generalissimo sent to North America, was her grandfather's cousin. The two had a grudge and broke off contact early on. Gan Lei had just learned that her family had suffered a disaster last year, and did not know that Gan Kexi was still alive. He thought that his cousin was just a child.
Gan Kechun was the only granddaughter left alive, so he invited mercenaries to rescue her from the Jin Palace. Gan Kechun believed that he had nothing now and could not help the Fourth Highness. However, his uncle Gan Lei owned a vast gold mine. It was troublesome.
Your Highness, Fourth Highness, will wait for two or three years, and Achun will return. During these two or three years, Achun will write letters to Your Highness. North America is too far away, and I don’t know how long it will take for letters to travel. Achun writes two letters each time: one is sent to
Taiyuan, a letter was sent to Dajiala. This authentic painting of Zhao Mengfu was stolen from the Queen Mother's backyard by mercenaries. Now Ah Chun advanced the monthly money from the Gan family to buy it back, and please return it to the Queen Mother.
Situ Wei thought for a long time and secretly hid the painting in a secret compartment. Then he got up with a letter in his sleeve and went to the palace to pay his respects to his mother, the concubine Yin.
When mother and son met, they sent out all the attendants. Situ Wei asked: "Mother, concubine, what happened to Achun?"
Mrs. Yin sighed: "It happened in such a hurry that I didn't have time to tell you. Ah Chun's child was lost a few days ago."
Situ Wei was shocked: "Did it fall? Isn't it already stable?"
"It's weird, but I can't find any clues." Yin said, "The Queen Mother kept the news airtight, so no one should know. And who has such long hands to reach into the Queen Mother's courtyard?
"
Situ Wei frowned: "Did someone get rid of it?"
Mrs. Yin nodded and sighed: "Extremely powerful medicine. The two old men around Achun are the most capable old men under the Queen Mother, and they are all-rounders. One of them took care of me when I was pregnant with you. Achun's entrance
Everything they own has been carefully inspected. The entire palace has been searched several times, and not even a single piece of medicine residue has been found. As for the envoy’s medicine residue, where did they get it? Besides, Ah Chun, a maid, even gave birth to a son.
Dingtian is a concubine, what did you do to her? The prince has more than a dozen sons, and one more than her is not much. Your grandmother and I are puzzled to understand."
After hearing this, Situ Wei thought for a long time and said, "Is there anything else?"
Mrs. Yin whispered: "At midnight on the day she was kidnapped, I was holding candlelight discussions with several adults in the outer study. Four assassins suddenly came near the outer study, and the guards noticed and stopped them. Then
The martial arts skills of the four of them are incredibly high, and they are on a par with several of your father's guards."
"Four?"
"Four, all masked men in night clothes, three men and one woman. They fought for half a day, and suddenly they withdrew when they heard a whistle in the distance. I don't know what they came for. These people are too skilled in martial arts and run too fast.
, the guards not only didn’t catch up with them, they didn’t even get any stain on their clothes.”
Situ Wei thought for a long time and murmured: "I hope I'm not overthinking it. Why do I think this is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?" Mrs. Yin was stunned. Situ Wei said, "With such a commotion, all the important guards of the entire palace will be killed.
They concentrated on my father's place. Even if there is water in the Queen Mother's backyard...that's not right!" He then walked around the room for several times, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Concubine, go ask the people around Ah Chun.
When did I see Achun for the last time that day? Seeing a person with your own eyes, hearing a voice doesn’t count. It’s important, it’s important. Mother and concubine, go quickly, I’ll wait here.” Seeing her son’s solemn words, Mrs. Yin hurriedly changed her clothes and went
Mrs. Wang went to the backyard.
After half an hour, Ms. Yin came back. She had already asked why Gan Kechun had gone to bed early that night when someone kidnapped her. The last time she saw anyone alive was around six o'clock in the morning. She asked for tea. Then
She then fell asleep. Gan Kechun slept very late on weekdays and often sat in front of a candle until late at night, but that night she felt sleepy for some reason.
After hearing this, Situ Wei's back suddenly felt cold. Seeing that her son looked wrong, Mrs. Yin hurriedly asked: "Wei'er, is there something wrong?"
Situ Wei shook his head and said: "Han Feizi said that chivalrous people use force to break the ban. It is true. The non-governmental armed forces are on par with the palace, how amazing it is. Ah Chun is no longer in the palace at the second watch."
Mrs. Yin was shocked: "But when the fire broke out, someone saw the thieves running away with their bags on their backs."
"The pockets were probably filled only with some heavy and light things." Situ Wei said, "The mercenaries broke into the palace early. Since Ah Chun was pregnant, she had to pay less attention to her diet than before. So someone secretly fed her
She took sleeping pills. She was so sleepy that she went to bed early. Four masked men came to my father's house to cause trouble. After hearing the news, all the master guards who were patrolling the palace rushed over. The people hiding in Ah Chun's house took the opportunity to secretly
He took her out. It was inconvenient to carry a big living person and have to deal with the guards. It was much easier after inducing the tiger to leave the mountain. At the fourth watch, most of the guard experts were still at my father's place. Even if I heard that my grandmother's yard was flooded, I would not
If you dare to go there too quickly, you may fall into the thieves' trap."
Mrs. Yin frowned and said, "Isn't that unnecessary? If you want Ah Chun, they will take everyone away, so why burn down a building?"
Situ Wei said: "No. If we don't burn that building, we will immediately guess that the purpose of disturbing my father is to take away Ah Chun. A large group of master assassins who are as capable as the royal guards and a few Xiao Mao who set fires and stole things."
Thieves are not the same thing. These people are professional and low-key, and they do everything right. I suspect that they were responsible for Ah Chun's miscarriage."
Ms. Yin was shocked: "What do they want?"
Situ Wei sneered and said: "What else do mercenaries want? Money. They are all desperadoes who are greedy for money and will do anything that is harmful to nature." He paused, "But they have a very contractual spirit. If
If you know where to hire someone, you will never be of great use in the future." Then he took out Gan Kechun's letter.
After seeing this, Mrs. Yin was stunned. Then she held the letter and thought for a long time: "In my early years in the capital, I heard about the grudges of the Gan brothers. First they took away a woman. When the woman died, they both felt that the other was responsible for her death. Young
Infatuated with love, lifelong resentment. The two of them had different cultural and military paths and looked down upon each other. The wife also had a disagreement with her sister-in-law and had deep grudges. Then they fought over the family property and went to the Jinluan Palace, which was a joke to the people in the capital. Even though they were from the same clan.
For the sake of rescuing Ah Chun, Gan Lei would not be so kind to her."
Situ Wei said: "If there is no misunderstanding in Ah Chun's letter, this kind of mercenary army will not be cheap. Is Gan Lei willing to spend so much money?"
Yin said: "Gan Lei is a gold mine operator, and he doesn't care about gold." He thought for a moment, "If the medicine was really given by these people, then we know that Gan Lei doesn't care about Achun's future. Don't count on her."
.”
Situ Wei said: "Concubine, I don't understand. Gan Lei has long been a powerful man in North America, so what does a place like Jin mean? Even my father, the king, may not even pay attention to him. He said that Ah Chun's child has not been born yet.
Even if she is born, he doesn't think it is a good thing, but a burden. Maybe he will use Achun as a bargaining chip to marry him to win people's hearts." Nai frowned and said, "That's really hopeless.
"
Mrs. Yin thought for a long time: "Could Ah Chun's letter... be a fraud? Gan Lei must be Jia Cong's man."
Situ Wei said: "I have thought about this possibility. Gan Lei was originally a close general of the Supreme Emperor, but later he switched his allegiance to the King of Yan. Jia Cong has been the regent of Yan for these years, and Gan Lei has been in North America and has never returned. I watched
It seems that they want to lead troops to protect King Yan. If they want to seize Achun and blackmail Axi, they will not allow Achun to write this letter to me. And that painting, whoever I put it into will jump in.
The Yellow River is unclear. Jia Cong has no intention of helping me at the moment, but the railway is obviously much more reliable in my hands than in the hands of others. After all, I am a student of Jiada University. After careful consideration, I still believe Ah Chun for the time being.
What the letter said."
Mrs. Yin read the letter a few more times and said, "It was indeed written by Ah Chun. With her temperament, no one can force her to trick you." She sighed, "It's just that she is not as good as being with Gan Lei in the palace."
It’s easy to use. Now that the matter is at this point, there is nothing we can do.”
The two of them were still waiting to discuss, when someone came from outside and said loudly: "Mother, something happened." Mrs. Yin hurriedly came in to talk.
It was an eunuch who came. We just got the news that His Royal Highness was assassinated and his life or death was uncertain. The assassin fled into Jia's horse shop. Now the Taiyuan magistrate's office has sent people to surround the horse shop. Both mother and son were stunned. Mrs. Yin woke up quickly.
, hurriedly pushed his son: "Go and have a look!" Situ Wei nodded and left in a hurry.
When I rushed to the horse shop, I saw the shopkeeper of the shop confronting the Taiyuan magistrate at the door. Seeing Situ Wei coming, the magistrate Yan rushed forward and saluted. Situ Wei then asked what was going on. The shopkeeper said: "This gentleman keeps saying
It is said that an assassin escaped into our horse shop. However, we have already searched it and there is no outsider. Our horse shop is large, so the man must have escaped from somewhere else. He insisted on coming in and searching again. On normal days, how would we dare to stop such a big thing?
Wait? But you also know, Your Highness, that the regent of the Yan Kingdom and his daughter are living with us now."
Situ Wei asked Magistrate Yan again. Magistrate Yan winked: "Your Royal Highness, let's go to the outer circle to talk."
It turns out that the assassin today is a boy named Zhou Zhuzhu from the stable of His Highness the Second Highness. He fell in love with a girl, and with the approval of the girl's family and the steward, he went out to hire a matchmaker and prepared to get married. But one day
His Highness Ri Er accidentally fell in love with the girl and took him into his room. The girl was not outstanding in appearance or temperament, and there were many women in His Highness's backyard, so she quickly fell out of favor. Unexpectedly, she only had to be pampered for so many days and she became pregnant. The fetus is six.
When she was seven months old, she was bullied and pushed by other concubines, and both her mother and her son died. Because she was just a concubine, there were five or six other concubines who teased her, and the second princess only banned those few for three months.
The moon is over. As for this week's pillar, no one has noticed such a person from beginning to end.
A few days ago, His Highness the Second Highness lost face with women. The news spread faster in the palace than outside. Naturally, Zhou Zhuzi also heard about it. His master went to rape a girl outside, and the girl's fiancé met a young man by chance.
The direct nephew of the regent of the Yan Kingdom. This young master Jia actually led people to kidnap the girl on the street and returned it to his fiancé. Zhou Zhuzi was doing something in his heart.
Just then, His Highness the Second Highness went out and ordered the stable to prepare the horses. Zhou Zhuzhu concealed a short knife and took advantage of the opportunity to lead the horse to get close to His Highness. He stabbed him four times and then jumped on the horse and ran away. This happened so unexpectedly that no one was prepared and watched helplessly.
After running for half a day, the guards began to chase. Zhou Zhuzhu ran straight to the back door of Jia's Horse Racing House, jumped off his horse, and rushed inside in front of the pursuers.
After hearing this, Situ Wei went back to the shopkeeper and said, "May I ask if the prince is here?"
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "Here... the prince and Uncle Xiaomeng are here..." He took a step closer and whispered, "I heard that His Highness the Fourth Highness is studying at Jiada University, so the little man said it bluntly. I think His Highness the Fourth Highness can understand.
Our prince, Mr. Xiaomeng and Mr. Feng are playing games with our daughter."
"What game?"
"Performing the play "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"."
Situ Wei blinked: "My daughter is Snow White?"
"My daughter is the prince charming, and our prince is the prince's charming boy. The makeup is quite good, but removing it is a bit troublesome..."
Situ Wei laughed dumbly: "Is your prince still taking off his makeup?"
The shopkeeper became more and more embarrassed: "The play... hasn't finished yet. The princess won't let it end early."
Situ Wei was startled: "You mean, your prince, Jia Meng and Lord Feng must first accompany Jia Dingbang to finish the play, and then remove their makeup before they can come out?" The shopkeeper gave a very ugly smile and nodded.
Situ Wei thought for a moment and said, "Excuse me, the shopkeeper, please go in and ask Prince Charming if you can add two more spectators. Mr. Yan and I would like to see it." The shopkeeper agreed and went in.
Not long after, the shopkeeper came out and said with a mixture of laughter and laughter: "The performance has come to an end. Prince Charming said that they can re-enact this scene for the new audience to see."
Situ Wei solemnly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." Then he and Mr. Yan led some guards to follow the shopkeeper in. A staff member from His Highness's house and a chief steward were among them.
The stage was set up in the yard and was filled with guards, waiters and servants. As soon as the new audience arrived, the stage started again. Prince Charming appeared on the "white horse". Situ Wei took a look and saw that Jia Meng was playing the role of a hunter and Feng Ziying was squatting.
She walked as one of the seven dwarfs, and the princess was a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. The magic mirror was played by Lin Boru, the only son of General Lin Dongyang, who was sitting on the actors' bench talking to the actor playing the stepmother.
