"Wang Xian?" After hearing this name, Jin Youzi couldn't help but shake his head and said: "He is locked up in the prison of Dongchang. What can be done?"
"I can only treat a dead horse as a living doctor..." Yang Shiqi agreed with Yang Rong's idea.
"My dear brothers, do you really think he is omnipotent?" Jin Youzi looked at Er Yang helplessly.
"That's a bit exaggerated," Yang Shiqi sighed, "but it's not too far off."
"Yes." Yang Rong nodded and said solemnly: "Now, there is no need to doubt this person's ability."
"But he is being held captive by Dongchang!" Jin Youzi lost his voice.
"He was imprisoned voluntarily. The purpose was to divert everyone's attention from him to the emperor." Yang Shiqi said: "On the day he was imprisoned, King Zhao jumped out as expected, and we had to hang him."
Even if you try your best to deal with it, you still have the leisure to provoke him." After a pause, he said: "And he is inside, and all his subordinates are outside. As long as he wants to do something, there will be no delay. It depends on whether he is willing to take action.
Already..."
"You should agree." Yang Rong said slowly: "After all, after Wang Guifei becomes the queen, no one can control King Zhao. And this must be something he doesn't want to see."
"I'm afraid he will take Qiao..." Yang Shiqi rubbed the wrinkles on his forehead in distress: "I thought he would never be used as a weapon for others like before."
"Yeah..." Yang Rong also fell into distress. He knew very well that the Wang Xian of today was no longer the Wang Xian of yesterday who could do anything for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the prince and grandson.
"Forget it, it's useless to think too much. Let's contact him first." Yang Shiqi clasped his hands and said in a deep voice: "I'm going out."
"He is not allowed to see people in Dongchang. Where can Brother Shiqi contact him?" Jin Youzi asked behind Yang Shiqi's back.
"This is not a problem." Yang Shiqi said a simple sentence and went out...
Yang Shiqi left Xiyuan, went home, changed into casual clothes, wrote a post and asked his family to take it to a grain store near the front door, and then sat and read in the study.
In the middle of the night, someone suddenly knocked on the window a few times. Yang Shiqi did not panic and said calmly: "Please come in." He reached out and opened the window.
A figure came in from the window. Yang Shiqi closed the door, looked at the man, and said slowly: "Is this Mr. Xianyun?"
The visitor was Xianyun. He glanced at Yang Shiqi in surprise. He didn't expect that the old man actually knew him.
"Haha, Mr. Xianyun, don't be surprised. I basically recognize the brothers around Le'an Marquis." Yang Shiqi smiled and cleared Xianyun's doubts: "If you are not familiar with the target that the emperor is most concerned about, Lao Chen, the bachelor of the cabinet, will not be familiar with it.
Too incompetent.”
"What's the matter with you?" Xianyun frowned, cherishing his words like gold.
"I have something to ask of Marquis Le'an." Yang Shiqi didn't even ask Xianyun if he could contact Wang Xian, and directly explained the affairs in the palace. At the end, he sighed and said: "If we don't stop Wang Guifei from being crowned queen, the crown prince will
Sun's situation is in danger..."
"What does this have to do with us?" Xianyun was indifferent and said with an indifferent expression.
"Haha," Yang Shiqi said with a nonchalant smile: "Whether it is relevant or not, let Marquis Le'an judge it. If Marquis Le'an thinks it is important, Master Xianyun will not miss the important event of the Marquis?"
"..." Xianyun was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Just wait."
"When will I get a reply?" Yang Shiqi asked: "First of all, time is tight, and I am afraid that I will be canonized within this month. Secondly, I am often in the cabinet and have very little time at home. Please give me an accurate time."
"Just do what you are supposed to do." Xianyun said calmly, "I will know the truth when the time comes." After saying that, he opened the window and jumped out silently.
Looking at the dark window, Yang Shiqi was stunned for a while. He had some bad premonitions... Until a gust of night wind blew into the study, Yang Shiqi shivered and hurriedly closed the window...
Early in the morning, Wang Xian had just gotten up and was combing Gu Xiaolian's hair when Dai Hua knocked on the door: "Sir, the food is here."
"Just give it away, what's the fuss?" Wang Xian frowned and put on the hairpin for Gu Xiaolian. He is also a marquis after all, but now he is just under house arrest, and his food intake is being deducted by the people in Dongchang.
No matter how cruel you are, you still have to deliver food to him once every three days and food once every ten days.
"You'd better come out and see for yourself." Dai Hua insisted, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
"What's wrong?" Wang Xian had no choice but to put on his shoes and go to the ground, exit the inner room and lower the curtain. "Come in."
The door was pushed open and Dai Hua came in with a basket of eggs in his hand.
"Look, sir!" Dai Hua raised the basket as if he were offering a treasure.
"Oh?" Wang Xian actually became interested, took the basket, put it on the square table, picked up the eggs one by one and admired them carefully.
If outsiders saw that the dignified Marquis regarded eggs as a rare treasure, they would definitely feel sad for him... I wonder how much abuse he suffered...
Wang Xian picked it up and picked up a very ordinary-looking white egg. He looked at it in the morning light and said with certainty: "This one!"
Dai Hua took the egg and looked at it sideways and vertically, but couldn't see any difference from the eggs next to it. He had to bring an empty bowl over and knocked the egg on the edge of the bowl. The eggshell shattered and fell into the bowl.
What was in the bowl was not egg liquid, but a jelly-like gelatinous substance, just like a half-boiled egg. Dai Hua could not help but exclaimed in surprise: "These guys are really capable of turning an egg into something."
It’s so fake that it looks like the real thing!”
Of course, this is a fake egg made by Liu Chu. The eggshell is made of lime powder, paraffin and some glue. The inside is jelly boiled with seaweed, with some milk added to pretend to be egg white, and it also has flour.
Even if the egg yolk is balled up with oil, even if it is broken on the ground, you can't tell it is fake unless you look carefully.
Wang Xian shook his head unsatisfied. This egg white was still too fake. If someone from Dongchang tried to pluck the geese and wanted to take this one, but also wanted to scramble an egg to eat, the secret would be revealed.
It's still lifelike that was made using industrial raw materials in later generations...
But think about it, the Six Bureaus are indeed proud of being able to make such fake eggs in the Ming Dynasty. At least, these eggs are purely natural...
Dai Hua took out the egg yolk and crushed it. A small yellow wax ball appeared inside. He then pinched the wax ball open and unfolded the secret letter hidden inside - the letter paper was as thin as cicada wings. When unfolded, it was no bigger than a copper coin. When folded, it was only about the size of a copper coin.
The size of a grain of rice.
The reason why such painstaking efforts are needed is because the people in Dongchang are too strict. Not only can no items from the outside be brought in, but even the daily necessities provided to Wang Xian and others must be purchased by people in Dongchang, and before entering the house,
, you will also be subject to a search that is ten times more stringent than when you enter the imperial examination.
Rice and noodles sent to Fuzhong need to be passed through a fine sieve to make sure there is no entrapment before they can be sent in. Any food that may contain paper, such as cabbage, whole chicken, whole duck, etc., is strictly prohibited from being provided to Wang Xian.
.Even celery, leeks and other things that cannot be hidden must be picked through one by one, guarding them to the point of being outrageous.
In order to reduce the workload, the head of the East Factory who was in charge of guarding asked the food delivery person to try to deliver some eggs, pumpkins and other large things that could not be carried to Wang Xian. Who knew that the people from the Sixth Office actually made a fake
egg……
Dai Hua handed the secret letter to Wang Xian. Wang Xian took it in his hand and squinted at the words smaller than ants. After reading it, he handed it back to Dai Hua and said with a chuckle: "I thought, how big are the three bachelors?"
What's your ability? It's only been a few days, but it's been ruined by King Zhao."
Dai Hua looked at the secret message and said softly: "Yang Shiqi begged us, maybe because he didn't want to dirty his hands."
"Then I should kill for him?" Wang Xian sneered.
"Do you need to kill someone?" Dai Hua was slightly surprised.
"In such a short period of time, if you want to prevent Concubine Wang from being crowned queen, is there any other way besides killing people?" Wang Xian said with a cold face and tapped his fingers on the table.
"Then we don't care about this?" Dai Hua asked tentatively.
Wang Xian pondered for a long time, slowly shook his head and said: "If King Zhao's stroke of genius is successful, the follow-up will be difficult to control by us..."
"Yes." Dai Hua nodded and said, "With the queen's help, King Zhao has completely taken the initiative..." Then he looked at Wang Xiandao: "Then... kill?"
"That's all we can do," Wang Xianyan sighed and changed the subject: "But we don't do anything and let them handle their own affairs..."
"Count on those scholars?" Dai Hua said in disbelief: "Can they do it?"
"Don't underestimate them. Several academicians are so vicious that even I feel inferior to them." Wang Xian sneered and said, "This matter is nothing to them."
After making up his mind, Wang Xian whispered a few instructions to Dai Hua. Dai Hua nodded and wrote them down carefully, got up and left the house.
Watching Dai Hua leave, Wang Xian sighed. Wang Guifei was not his enemy, but since she chose to form an alliance with his enemy, there was only one way to die...
Dai Hua put the secret envelope into the wax pill. A guard lifted up a cage and opened the black cloth covering the cage. Inside was a weasel, which Wang Xian and the others had originally brought in.
Dai Hua took the weasel out of the cage, pinched its mouth open, put the wax pellet into its belly, and then sent it to the hospital with shaking hands.
The weasel landed on the ground and was a little confused at first, but soon figured out the direction. With a sudden sound, it got into a small drainage hole in the corner of the wall and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
In the outer courtyard, Dongchang Fanzi, who was heavily guarded, felt his eyes blurred when something jumped out of the courtyard. After taking a closer look, he saw that it was a weasel. The weasel was as fast as lightning, and as soon as he saw it clearly, it had disappeared.
In the eyes of fans.
The fans didn't take it seriously, and no one wanted to chase him. After all, in folklore, this guy was Wong Tai Sin!
The weasel ran out of the sewer in the yard without any obstruction, then crossed the street and returned to its home - a very beautifully made cage.
