The house that Hong Zhou bought in the name of Mr. Zhou Hongwu is really inconspicuous. But the location is not necessarily really remote. Passing through a narrow alley on the street is a slightly wider alley. The alley is not
It is long, forty or fifty meters away, with a wall at the top. This is a dead end. This means that it is easy to get in and difficult to get out. The house in Hongzhou is at the end of the alley. The door is a black door with a
Mottled by the years. The door curtain is not big, and it is wide enough for two people to go in side by side. Standing at the door, Lin Yutong glanced over and saw the environment here clearly. There seemed to be an old couple living opposite, and the door was ajar.
The woman was sitting in the yard picking up the soles of her shoes. When she saw her group of people, she looked at them curiously. Lin Yutong withdrew his gaze and looked up at the sky. At this time, the sky was still very hot, but the woman was sitting and doing it under the sun.
Needlework. A little further back, she should be under the shade of the trees in the yard, and a little further back, there is the shadow cast by the eaves. Why not in a shady place? Because sitting in those two places, the door is ajar.
It blocks the view.
I'm afraid that someone is watching here. I'm afraid it's too deliberate if the door is fully open. If the door is ajar, I have to choose the angle of observation.
Lin Yutong knew it well, and when he looked away, he took another look at the pile of blue bricks piled at the door opposite. The green bricks were not new, they were newly removed. The traces were obvious. It rained a lot in front of him. Press
Logically, there must be traces on the bricks and stones in the shade. But these are of no use. Instead, traces of moisture on the ground below can be seen through the gaps between the piles of bricks. The ground is wet, and the bricks are dry.
This thing was probably only taken down yesterday. When he thought about it again and saw the yard, Lin Yutong suddenly realized that this thing was probably the screen wall that had just entered the door. It was removed directly because it blocked the view.
She calmly tapped Fourth Master's hand a few times, and both of them became alert at the same time.
With Hong Zhou's cleverness, it was impossible not to see that this place was being watched. If he knew that he was being watched, he would not ask anyone to send a message to his emperor. Although this child is unreliable, he still has this sense of propriety.
some.
There must have been some unknown incident in between.
Because carriages were not allowed in the alley, the two walked in all the way. Wearing the most ordinary clothes, they did not show any other expressions when walking in the alley full of sewage. Lin Yutong was used to being cautious and did not ask Su Peisheng and the guards to follow.
It was tight. She was holding a fan in her hand. It was a round fan used by her daughter’s family. It was not awkward at all to hold it like this. The fan was hanging with a small round mirror, which not only served as a fan pendant, but also could be used to organize things.
Appearance. This is now popular in the capital. When Lin Yutong didn't ask Su Peisheng and others to follow him, he bought it for twenty yuan at a small stall on the street. Some even had small combs and other small items hanging on them.
She remained calm and turned the mirror in her hand seemingly casually.
Su Peisheng was sitting under the wall, looking like he was resting. His eyes were dazzled by the dazzling light, and he opened his eyes instantly. Then he saw a bright light flashing on his chest, flashing three times in a row.
He stood up as if unintentionally, took two steps and exited the alley. Several children were playing in the alley. He took a whistle and called a five or six-year-old boy over, showing a kind smile, "Will you?
Do you know how to blow? If you can, just blow twice and I’ll give you some candies.” He took out a handful of candies with his other hand.
The child was greedy, so he blew it twice obediently. Su Peisheng stuffed the candy into the child and then left quickly. He had to report the news quickly.
Lin Yutong heard the whistle and smiled at the fourth master, not forgetting to raise his eyebrows.
The Fourth Master just laughed, and what he meant in his eyes was that you are the only one who is smart.
What can be done? I'm used to being cautious. When I go out with my fourth master, I can't let myself go rashly. There must be several groups of people exploring the road to ensure safety. But can we do this?
When Hong Zhou returned to the capital, he did not enter the palace, but sent a secret message. What does this mean? It means that there are indeed difficulties. It is not convenient to meet. At this time, batches of stalls clearly wear military labels.
The spies were going back and forth, really thinking that he was a fool. It was a trivial matter that Hong Zhou's efforts for such a long time were wasted, and his life was risked in it.
So Lin Yutong didn't ask these people to explore the road rashly, so he came with the fourth master himself. But before leaving, he was afraid of an accident, so he stipulated the method of transmitting signals. Just follow the signals and act, and nothing would go wrong.
When I came in, all the doors in front of me were closed, and I didn't see half a person. It was dinner time, and there was no smoke coming from the chimney. It was like this in every house, and it was so quiet that no sound could be heard. There were no chickens.
A barking dog, no children's noise, no sound at all? Isn't this strange? The door is not locked from the outside, which proves that there is someone in the house. Who lives a quiet life?
The two of them must have been on guard. The door to the opposite door was open, but the surveillance was too obvious.
I can't think too much about anything at this moment, I just want to make sure nothing happens to Hong Zhou.
The fourth master stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the dark mottled door immediately opened from the inside. It was a dark and strong young man in his twenties. When he saw the fourth master and Lin Yutong, he was obviously stunned, "Who are you looking for?"
Just as the Fourth Master was about to speak, Hong Zhou's voice came, "Who's here?" The man poked his head out from behind the screen wall, and then a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, "Ah...ah...Dad..." He
He ducked out from behind the screen wall and saw Lin Yutong, "Mom? Why are you here?"
Sure enough! It was not Hong Zhou who sent the message to Fourth Master.
Someone knew what Hong Zhou was doing, and this person even sent a message to Fourth Master under the guise of Hong Zhou.
Lin Yutong's mind was spinning rapidly, but her face was filled with frost. She strode over, "You bastard!" She cursed Hong Zhou, and then rudely stretched out her hand to twist Hong Zhou's ears, "How dare you ask us why we are here?
?Why do you think we are here? You left your wife and ran away just after we got married. You are capable, right? What's wrong with you? You bastard." As he said that, another hand was on Hong Zhou's back.
He slapped and beat me again and again, "Where have you been to me these past six months?" There was a cry in his voice as he cursed, followed by howling loudly, "Do you know how much your father and I spent to find you?"
What's on your mind? I send people here every three days to see if you're back? I just heard there was some movement on your side yesterday. Your father and I got up and went out in the middle of the night... You heartless guy, forget about it.
If your parents leave your wife and children behind, you will just wander around outside." After saying that, he glanced at the black young man who opened the door and was very angry, "Say! What are you doing? Who are these people? Look.
He doesn’t look like a good person. Did he go out to rob someone’s house or did he cheat?”
Hong Zhou was stunned, who is this person? If he hadn't known that this was his wife, he would have thought he was a shrew from some farmer's family. After the soft flesh on his waist was pinched again, he finally came to his senses.
, "It hurts, it hurts! Mom!"
Lin Yutong withdrew his hand as if it were being pricked with needles, "Does it hurt? Where does it hurt? Does it hurt? Nonsense! It's useless." As he said this, he lifted up Hong Zhou's clothes to take a look, wishing he could take off his pants on the spot.
appearance.
Hong Zhou hurriedly hid, "Mom, she's outside! Save some face for your son."
"You still want shame?" Fourth Master scolded him, and he glanced outside and saw that all the people on the other side had come out to watch the fun. He apologized with fists in his hands, as if he was showing off his family's shame, and then went over and closed the door behind him.
.turned around and walked towards the yard.
Under the big tree in the yard, there are a few small benches, some rattans on the sides, and a half-woven bamboo basket.
The Fourth Master went over and sat down on the bench, took the half-woven bamboo basket and started weaving it. Hong Zhou looked at him and Ama had a dark face, but her hands were extremely flexible in weaving the bamboo basket, almost using all her strength.
That's why he didn't show any strange color.
Not only is the emperor's mother good at acting, but the emperor's mother can also do such rough work.
Learned a lot.
But then I became nervous. How did they come by such a coincidence?
They were all worried, but they couldn't speak, and couldn't even make eye contact. Hong Zhou seemed anxious about something, and wanted to speak, but seeing Ama sitting there motionless, he didn't dare to speak.
He believed that Huang Ama knew what was going on here. He could only silently pass the arranged rattan to the side. The father and son cooperated tacitly, and it seemed like it was the same thing.
But Lin Yutong was scolding: "You bastard, you are crazy outside. You don't care if your wife is pregnant. I tell you, if I catch you this time, you can't even think about running away..."
Got a wife?
He was not sure if this was what Huang Eniang said casually or if it was true that the Wu Zaku clan was born?
Then he saw his mother nodding slightly, which meant that she really had one. She was so excited that she almost threw the cane in her hand. Then he heard the queen over there yelling freely, "Did you have one outside?"
Do other women have a sweetheart or marry a foreign wife?"
Lin Yutong pointed to a pair of embroidered shoes on the window sill. The pink shoes were embroidered with a pair of green mandarin ducks, which were very bright. "Xiao Wu, tell me, if you are really brave, I will beat you to death today."
Hong Zhou said no, no. But his feet did not move. He watched his empress holding a cane and going from room to room looking for his 'sweetheart'. He knew in his heart that he was looking at the courtyard.
Is there anyone else hiding in there?
He never knew that his wife Huang Ama and Huang Erniang had such a side.
In a flash, Lin Yutong came out, carrying a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old in his hand. The girl's face was full of embarrassment, with a hint of anger. She had wheat-colored skin and a pair of shining eyes.
Lin Yutong pulled him out and looked at Hong Zhou with a bit of anger.
Lin Yutong pushed the person forward, "Say! Who is this? How can you treat your wife like this?"
Hong Zhou lowered his head and said nothing, and the cane in the fourth master's hand slapped Hong Zhou's buttocks, "What is your mother asking you? Our family is an ordinary farmer's family. If you dare to do anything outside, you will be punished today."
Break your legs."
Hong Zhou covered his butt and bared his teeth, "...that wife is not the one I want to marry..."
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and slapped Hong Zhou again, "What are you talking about? I didn't want to marry someone else. You also entered the bridal chamber and got pregnant with the child." After saying that, he looked at the little girl and scolded Hong Zhou again.
, "Who is this girl? Tell me clearly. I tell you, I don't recognize anyone except your wife. If you want to enter my Zhou family, there is no way!"
"Who cares about entering your Zhou family?" This girl spoke with a bit of shrewdness, "If you enter our Wang family, you will be our Wang family's uncle from now on, and have nothing to do with your Zhou family..."
Lin Yutong pointed at Hong Zhou, with an angry look on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, this is weird. Do these people know Hong Zhou's identity? Or don't they? If they know, if they can coax themselves and Fourth Master to visit, that's great.
The opportunity for assassination was useless. Their surveillance was surveillance. Whether there was murderous intent and whether there was any danger to life, Lin Yutong felt that he would not feel wrong. Hong Zhou was being watched, that was for sure. But there was more malice,
After such a long period of contact, I really didn’t feel it.
The young man in black who opened the door just stood there with an embarrassed look on his face. It was only after Hong Zhou signaled that he went to bring tea.
But if you don’t know, what about the secret letter that Fourth Master sent to Fourth Master as Hong Zhou?
There are two possibilities: First, Hong Zhou was exposed, but he didn't know it. The higher-ups of the Cao Gang must have arranged this incident, and Hong Zhou himself was also involved. Second, that was the person who sent the message.
They are not the same thing as the Cao Gang. This person is in the capital. Not only does he know that Hong Zhou is not in the capital, but he also knows things that require death. For example, Hong Zhou's whereabouts, the methods and channels for passing on superstitions, and even deciphered part of the code. He pretended to pass it on
The purpose of such news is not yet clear, but the benefits are obvious. If oneself and the fourth master are exposed, at least it will ruin Hong Zhou's errand and give the Caobang a warning. At worst, the other party will see through it on the spot and cause trouble.
Murderous intention. No matter what the outcome is, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for him.
Lin Yutong couldn't draw a conclusion for the time being as to what the possibility was.
Her expression was serious here, but the black young man over there had already pulled the girl to teach her a lesson. She vaguely heard him calling the girl junior sister, "...how can you talk like that...after all...you are your biological parents...he won't do it if you look back."
You're such a good person, don't cry and cry again..."
The fourth master here has already asked Hong Zhou, "What's going on? You don't want your parents, wife and children, just because you like other girls?"
Lin Yutong stroked his chest angrily, looking like he couldn't accept it.
Hong Zhou came to Lin Yutong and said, "Don't be angry, it's not like that... I'm doing some business with people in the south. They are all people I met in the business field. Mom, I'm with
You said, I made a lot of money in the past six months..." As he said that, he whispered to Lin Yutong, as if he didn't show off his wealth.
Lin Yutong heard Hong Zhou whisper: "...It was very smooth for my son to sneak into the Cao Gang... A month ago, I heard that someone was investigating his son and suspecting his identity... I made some inquiries... Someone sent a letter to the Cao Gang, saying that he was
The fifth elder brother infiltrated the Cao Gang... I haven’t said who he is specifically..."
Seeing the senior brothers looking over here, Lin Yutong looked surprised and said quickly: "So much, this can make money much faster than farming..."
Hong Zhou chuckled, "Neng's son made a lot of money and gave it all to his mother-in-law..."
The Fourth Master glared, then turned to face Lin Yutong: "I heard that he lied to you with his sweet words, but he didn't deceive you enough..."
"I do!" Lin Yutong scolded the fourth master, pulling Hong Zhou to look like he couldn't get enough of kissing her. "Look, they're all dark and thin... It's about money..." She looked at the senior brothers and sisters aside with vigilance.
He lowered his head and whispered to Hong Zhou, "If it's dangerous, get out immediately. Nothing matters to you..."
While Hong Zhou was arranging Lin Yutong's hair that was not too messy, he lowered his head and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "... His sons are not the only ones who came to Beijing this time... Now it seems that they are deliberately testing..."
When Lin Yutong saw the girl glancing here from the corner of her eye, she thought to herself that she still had to find a chance to talk to Hong Zhou face to face. So she immediately tilted her head and said, "Go away! I don't want you to mess up my hair. It's getting messier and messier."
…”
While talking here, the girl snorted coldly, as if she couldn't stand the kind of Philistine Lin Yutong whose attitude changes when his son gets rich.
The Fourth Master weaved the basket, put it aside, wiped a hand on his clothes, stood up, and looked at Hong Zhou seriously, "I ask you again, will you come with me and your mother?"
Hong Zhou knew exactly what this meant. Huang Ama and Huang A Niang really didn't want to ask him to continue.
But I know where the problem lies. The problem is not with me, but with the capital. As long as we handle it properly, we can survive this crisis safely.
The fourth master snorted softly, turned around and left. After walking two steps, he turned around and scolded Lin Yutong, who was holding Hong Zhou reluctantly, "Loving mothers often lose their children! It's too late to discipline me now! Whether you leave or not, you
If you leave, never go back."
Lin Yutong cursed the old man, and took Hong Zhou to give him instructions again and again. The most important thing was to say, don't forget to take the money home. Then he followed the fourth master and walked out of the alley.
Su Peisheng came over hurriedly, and the fourth master whispered: "Call Ha Chaqi to come over, capture me and your master, and then send people to surround the place. Anyone who is suspicious will be arrested first..."
"Then fifth elder brother..." Su Peisheng asked quickly.
"Same!" After the fourth master said this, he did not stop, as if he had just passed by Su Peisheng.
Before he had taken ten steps, someone stopped with a cold voice, and turned his face to see that it was not Hachaqi. He used two fingers to make a kneeling apology, but with a fierce expression on his face, "What about you? Stop."
Lin Yutong shouted in harmony, and then there were people shouting with various voices, saying that they had received a secret report, that there was a traitor connection here, and so on.
When Fourth Master and Lin Yutong changed carriages and got in, through the curtain, they could see a long list of people captured from the alley. There were men and women, old and young. Hong Zhou and the dark-faced man
Along with the girl inside.
These people did a good job. They knew that Hong Zhou's face was not exposed, but when it was hidden, they deliberately held their heads low and made their hair messy. Even Geng had to recognize this behavior carefully.
In the private room of a restaurant across the street, the window was only open a slit. When the person being escorted passed by, the window was closed.
There were two people sitting on the table, one of whom was obviously careless and a little impatient, "How is it? Did you see an acquaintance?"
Sitting opposite was a man with two mustaches. He nodded, "I didn't see the fifth elder brother, but I looked at a white-faced and beardless man who looked familiar, like..." He pointed upward, "Then
The people around me..." As he said that, he dipped his hands in tea and wrote the word 'Su' on the table.
The reckless man was stunned and said, "Are you sure?" If it is really someone close to the emperor, then the person who was taken into custody may not be able to say that Mr. Friday is not the fifth elder brother. What if he is trying to deceive others?
Mustache hesitated, "Maybe?"
What does it mean to be? If it is, it is! If it is not, it is not to be! What does it mean to be?
The reckless man frowned, and then laughed sarcastically: "Didn't you boast that you have been in the palace for more than ten years and have met the late emperor and today? How come you don't even recognize the eunuchs around me now?"
This is an unpleasant thing to say!
The look on Mustache's face is not good either. Although his boast of meeting the late emperor is false, it is true that he has met the eunuch who delivered the order next to the late emperor. And it is also true that he has met the present day. As for Su Peisheng, it seems that he is far away.
I have seen it before. I am just a guest living in Prince Yu's Mansion. It is good to be able to take a look at it from a distance. "If you don't like the ability of the inferior, just hire someone else..."
The reckless man was angry at first, and then calmed down his temper, "Sir, why do you care about a rough guy like me? You are a knowledgeable person... I am talking nonsense. Please calm down, am I not worried?"
The expression on the mustache's face became better now, and then he smiled, "...You are also fooling around, how could you believe those lies? How noble is the emperor? Why would he come to your Caogang? I tell you, if not
Mr. Wang and I are classmates, so I won’t meddle in your business at all. Caobang... is important. But no matter how important it is, it’s not worth risking his own son. You didn’t see the scene of the surrender back then, what a waste.
Majesty. You have a lot of people, but what’s the use of having a lot of people? Can swords and spears defeat other people’s artillery?”
The reckless man could hardly control his temper. This meant that his Cao Gang took himself too seriously.
Being looked down upon made this reckless man a little unhappy, but he finally apologized and asked a few more questions. He didn't say anything else. He only said that someone who looked like Eunuch Su had appeared next to the emperor, and there was no one else.
recognize.
The reckless man was actually relieved. Mr. Wang valued this boy Friday very much and planned to marry his only daughter to him. If this boy was really okay, then he would have to find a way to get everyone out.
. He had to smile at his mustache and said, "...We haven't done anything illegal. We still need you to find a way to clear the way and bail this person out..." He took out a banknote and pushed it forward.
, "Sorry sir..."
Mustache glanced at it, and the amount of ten thousand taels put a smile on his face. For so many years in the palace, he only had twenty taels per month, and he had not saved ten thousand taels in more than ten years. It seems that this Cao gang is
He is so rich. The expression on his face looked better, "Easy to say, easy to say..." He reached out and took the banknote and stuffed it into his sleeve.
After being escorted and put into a dark carriage, Hong Zhou was swaying all the way. In the prison carriage, Hong Zhou actually relaxed and fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, the lights were bright and blinding. It took me a long time to open my eyes, but my attention was first attracted by the shiny thing hanging above my head. "What is this?" I asked and no one answered. I looked around.
Look, familiar! Kyushu Qingyan!
He stretched out without getting up. He hadn't slept so comfortably in half a year.
"Fifth brother, wake up?" Su Peisheng came over with honey water, "Would you like to eat?"
Drink water, wash my face, wash my hands, and put exquisite food on the Kang table. When I hold the bowl in my hand, I feel that this is really the life I should live.
When Fourth Master and Lin Yutong came over, they saw Hong Zhou devouring the food. It made people feel sad to see it like this.
Hong Zhou put down his bowl and stood up to ask for a gift. The fourth master pressed him down and said, "No need for gifts. Let's eat. Let's eat first."
Hong Zhou chuckled, holding the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other to put it into his mouth. He did not forget to raise his thumb and smile at Lin Yutong, "This is the Queen... You acted like she is real."
Lin Yutong handed over a bowl of soup, "Be careful if you choke."
Hong Zhou took a few sips and drank it, "The rice cooked by Huang'e Niang is still delicious. She almost missed me to death in the past six months."
After eating a bowl of rice and drinking a bowl of soup, the hunger and cravings passed, and then I slowly talked about my experience in the past six months, "...on the boat, my son couldn't get used to eating one meal and one meal of fish."
...I thought of a way to improve the food..."
How to do it? Find an open space on the shore, draw sixteen or thirty grids, and then put fish of different sizes and quantities in each grid, get a few fishing rods, and replace the fishhook.
Make a big hook, and then set up a stall on the shore. When fishing on dry land, one penny is paid once, and one cup of tea is shown. No matter how many fish are caught during a cup of tea, as long as one fish is caught in the grid, the other fish in this grid will be caught.
The rain also belongs to him.
No matter how small a fish is, there are only three or four taels, and there are only a few people, enough for a bowl of soup. There are many people joining in the fun, and even more people want to take advantage of it. If a person throws in more than ten pennies to get a fish, he thinks he is lucky.
. In this way, it is almost the same as selling fish. No matter what the gimmick is, the fish is exchanged for money, and the money is exchanged for rice and vegetable oil. He does not wait until the place is reached, and his impression is very good from top to bottom.
"Because I could read and write, I worked as a bookkeeper at the dock... Later I managed to meet Wang Duo'er, the girl I saw today..." Hong Zhou was a little embarrassed, as if he also felt that his own actions were not very bright.
Xiide said, "Actually, my son didn't take the initiative to provoke her..."
This is something neither Fourth Master nor Lin Yutong want to hear. After all, Hong Zhou is the emperor's elder brother. His background and upbringing are left there. Not to mention anything else, just the demeanor when he stands there is different from others. It does not mean that he is a child of the royal family.
What a great thing, many of the differences between them are due to self-confidence and a sense of superiority. This kind of thing is something brought from the bones and cannot be changed. Therefore, among a group of rough guys, they are particularly eye-catching and special.
To attract the attention of young girls. This point does not need to be explained, Fourth Master and Lin Yutong can also think of it. They immediately interrupted him and signaled him to talk about the key points.
The point is, "...Wang Duoer's father is not an ordinary person. This person does not have any position in Caogang, but everyone respects him. How can we tell the identity of this person?" He patted his head and said, "Wu Yong!
He is Wu Yong in the Cao Gang."
After saying this, Lin Yutong understood that he was a military advisor level figure.
Hong Zhou held the soup bowl and squinted his eyes, "Wang Yunhai was famous for his meritorious service. He was less than twenty years old when he won the exam. It was just bad luck. His grandparents and parents passed away one after another, so he kept his filial piety for ten years.
I was able to take the imperial examination in time. But something unexpected happened. When I was about to go out, my wife, who was eight months pregnant, was frightened by the crazy horse of a powerful family. She gave birth to a daughter prematurely and with difficulty in labor. His wife did not survive the birth of a daughter... I
After asking about what happened that year, it must have been an accident. I don’t know who was getting married and setting off firecrackers, but the horse of the guest was shocked. It is said that more than ten people were injured that year. Wang Yunhai’s wife was pushed and fell...
...It is said that the person who organized the wedding and the well-born young man came to every house to apologize and give money, and even paid tribute to his wife during her funeral..."
Lin Yutong understood that Hong Zhou wanted to say that this person's current anti-imperialist and anti-social behavior had something to do with his own extreme personality.
She nodded towards Hong Zhou to express her understanding.
Hong Zhou then went on to say, "Wang Yunhai didn't have a wife, so he took care of his eldest daughter all by himself, doting on her very much. Even doting on her..."
It's obvious that the girl's speech today is very uneducated.
Hong Zhou sighed, "I can't get rid of him. Because of Wang Yunhai's relationship, I had the patience to play with him. Not long after, Wang Duoer begged her father to accept me as his disciple. Wang Yunhai said
His daughter responded to her requests, and her son followed Wang Yunhai, but he did not trust his son... He had many old friends in the capital, and these people were all scholars. They had no idea where they were doing anything. But even if
Being a teacher in a government official's family, this information is known more than others. My son guessed that he must have written to ask someone to investigate his son's identity..."
So there are pros and cons to taking shortcuts. Neither path is easy.
If you put it that way, it seems to make sense.
Suppose Wang Yunhai writes a letter asking his old friend to investigate a man named Zhou Hongwuye, and this old friend of his happens to be an aide or husband in a mysterious person's house. If this gentleman wants to investigate, it is unlikely that he will come forward.
It's just that the servants in the boss's house are helping to deal with it. This way they can let their master know the content of the investigation. The pseudonym of Hongzhou is not very clever, and Hongzhou and Zhou Hong happen to be ranked fifth.
It is easy to contact the fifth elder brother who was sent to the imperial mausoleum for no reason. It is even easier to investigate at the imperial mausoleum, especially when the status of this mysterious figure is not low.
The fourth master held the secret letter that Lao Qi had turned over to Hong Zhou: "See if it was written by you?"
Hong Zhou only glanced at it, then shook his head, "No!"
"Is it possible that you accidentally exposed something when you were at Wang's house?" Lin Yutong asked again.
Hong Zhou still shook his head, "Impossible! My son never does this in the Wang family..."
There can only be a problem with the secret message transmission channel.
The other party didn't know that the person on the other end of the message was Hong Zhou, but he should have been paying attention to this channel for some time. The other party also had people who were highly accomplished in magic, otherwise the secret message would not be decipherable.
Lin Yutong asked: "Today you said that someone sent a letter a month ago saying that the fifth elder brother had sneaked into the Cao Gang. How did you know this news?"
"Wang Duo'er." Hong Zhou was a little embarrassed, "Wang Duo'er overheard it. She told her son as a joke. Everyone in the Cao Gang had the same attitude as her, and not many believed it. But Wang Yunhai
I just believed it. At the time, I wasn’t sure if Wang Yunhai deliberately let Wang Duoer know about it, and then used Wang Duoer to test me... Therefore, there was no mistake in the response..."
Lin Yutong believed that if this was confirmed, this trip to the capital would not have happened.
As he said that, Hong Zhou seemed to have remembered something and asked Fourth Master, "The couple opposite are from us, but I'm not sure if the couple next door are from the Caogang... When I brought them back to live,
Those houses were very strange. I thought it was the person arranged by Amma, and I thought to myself, who is doing this? The management is just rough, and you can see the house with problems at a glance... But look at the current posture, those
Everyone has been arrested, who are they? Are they really people arranged by the Cao Gang in advance?"
The Fourth Master hasn’t asked yet. I have no comment for the time being.
He turned to ask Hong Zhou, "What is the name of sending you to Beijing this time? How do you know that more than one of you are coming to Beijing..."
"Wang Yunhai told us to call the front station, and he will come in a few days." Hong Zhou shook his head, "I don't know if this is an excuse. As for the fact that other people came to Beijing, Yu Liang found out about it. Yu Liang was not taken with him this time.
When I came out, he was still at the pier. People come and go at the pier, and it is also a news distribution center. If you pay attention, you can always find clues. Not only have several groups of people come to Beijing, but there are always some of them who are about the same age as me.
People with a Jingcheng accent. Many people don’t think that the fifth elder brother will come in person, but they think it is still possible for the fifth elder brother to send someone to infiltrate. Therefore, the Jingcheng accent should be the focus of the investigation."
As he said that, Hong Zhou glanced at Fourth Master, as if hesitant.
Fourth Master glared at him: "If you have something to say, what's wrong with you?"
