I don't know how long it took, and there was a soft knock on the hidden door.

"Come in. ”

Yin Xuezheng replied lazily.

The door opened lightly, Xu Xing stepped in, because he couldn't adapt to the darkness of the house for a while, he hesitated in front of the door for a long time, until his eyes could finally adapt to the darkness of the house, and then slowly walked in.

"My lord?" When he got closer, he saw Yin Xuezheng's defeated face a little, and Xu Xing hurriedly called out uneasily.

"What?"

Xu Xing's expression froze, and he reacted after a while, this extremely unfamiliar tone came from the mouth of an adult in his family.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?"

"Nothing. ”

"......"

"Tell me what's going on. ”

After a pause, Xu Xingcai pressed the uneasiness in his heart and replied, "My lord, Jiangnan echoes." ”

Say. ”

"The canal and the Yangtze River overturned the ship, Wang Fangtian's three families have a new trend. ”

Xu Xing stopped when he said this, looked at his family uneasily, and didn't say anything again for a long time.

Yin Xuezheng waited for a long time to see that there was no follow-up, and then he raised his head and asked weakly, "What is the trend?"

Xu Xing's forehead was bowed, and he looked at the adults of his family carefully, and saw that although his face was sluggish, his eyes were still full of energy, so he continued with confidence: "Jiangnan reported this time, and transcribed an account book, which is the account book handed over by the Jiangnan Wang family to the Wang family in the capital for the past three months, in which the number of ships sunken and the silver obtained are nearly half less than the number we actually have. ”

"Nearly half?" Yin Xuezheng's eyes flashed, and the words of the question finally returned to his usual tone, "Interesting." ”

Xu Xing nodded: "My subordinates have confirmed, the numbers we have cannot be false, and it is impossible for the people of the Jiangnan family and the Tian family not to know the real numbers, but the number reported by the Jiangnan Wang family is really less than half." As he spoke, Xu Xing picked up a notebook and presented it to him.

There is no light in the room, no matter how capable Yin Xuezheng is, he has no night vision and reading skills. He stretched out his hand and pressed the notebook, glanced at it and put it aside, and then asked, "What is so special about the actions of the Jiangnan Wang family?"

"The subordinates thought that the Wang family did not have much power in Jiangnan, and if they wanted to do something, they had to rely on the Fang family and the Tian family, so the information they could grasp could only come from the Fang family and the Tian family. ”

Yin Xuezheng sneered: "If the number that our Queen Mother sees can only be based on the number reported by her family, then it will be really interesting." Thinking about the capsize of the Yangtze River Canal, the amount of the past two years has been so large that it has moved the country, but the Queen Mother has been unmoved, I thought that the Queen Mother could still calm down, but I don't want to have this relationship, hehe. ”

Xu Xing moved: "If the Queen Mother really doesn't know, then do we want to ......?"

"No," Yin Xuezheng waved his hand, pondered for a while, and said: "This booklet is not moved, only the numbers have been corrected, and then you have two copies transcribed, one copy, and secretly sent it to Li Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Industry." The other copy was sent to Qianyun Pavilion to make a way for Chen San's people to see it inadvertently. ”

Knowledgeable people in Beijing know that the Ministry of Industry is actually in the hands of the Queen Mother, and Li Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Industry has a good relationship with Zhang Hanlin and Huang Taiyi, the former Zhang Hanlin is the Empress Dowager's cousin, and the latter Huang Taiyi is the Empress Dowager's most trusted imperial physician.

The booklet was handed over to Li Yuanwailang, which was almost equivalent to the hands of the Queen Mother.

This is to make the Wang family, the Fang family, and the Tian family start civil strife first.

I don't know how much silver the Fang family and the Tian family have secretly hidden from the Wang family. They can't control this, so let the Queen Mother and their Wang family check it themselves.

Why did he send one to Chen Sangongzi, Xu Xing couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that the adults of his family didn't mean to explain, Xu Xing didn't want to ask too much, agreed, and muttered for a moment before he continued: "The movement in the Chen Mansion ......"

"What's wrong?"

"As soon as we left Chen's Mansion yesterday, Lord Chen used a family law against Chen San, and no matter how Mrs. Chen cried in the middle, or even thought of death, she couldn't stop it. Now Chen San is still alive with one breath, and the whole person is completely wasted. Isn't it time to let Yang Qi ......?"

Before Xu Xing finished speaking, Yin Xuezheng suddenly stopped him: "No, don't use Yang Qi for the affairs of the Chen Mansion." ”

Xu Xing was taken aback: "No, but Yang Qi is not Chen San's fiancée, didn't the adult arrange for her to ...... after this incident?"

"No," Yin Xuezheng denied, "The plan has changed, I said the matter of the Chen family, and there is no need to use Yang Qi again." Except for her, the rest is the same, you have to continue to keep an eye on the Chen Mansion and see who will contact Chen San after this. ”

"But without Yang Qi's ......"

Still before he could finish speaking, the words were forcibly stopped, and he was angrily stopped.

Xu Xing didn't dare to make another sound, and nodded again and again.

Again he couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure it out.

Why did you forcibly stop the original plan, did Yang Qi, a chess piece, really abandon it and not use it?

This is why, since Yang Qi came back yesterday, after the adults heard her say the name of Qilin Pavilion, things began to be wrong.

What exactly is the Qilin Pavilion? He had never heard of it, but it made the adults have such a big reaction after hearing it for the first time.

I think that when the adults heard this name yesterday, the whole person showed a complete loss of his usual style. It's not like before, no matter how shocking it is, it's like a hunter discovering a novel prey, that is, cautious and excited. The performance of the adults yesterday was shocking. But after the shock, there was a clear loss of normality. He was not cautious, nor excited, but fearful.

Yes, taboo. This is an expression he has never seen on the face of an adult in all the years he has followed adults.

If you want to know his identity, it is the head of Long Xingwei, the leader of the strongest spy and enforcement agency in the Great Zhou Kingdom, the king of Yama who everyone hears about, and the person who is unable to control the empress dowager who holds the real power of the Great Zhou. What can be about such a character that makes him instantly jealous when he only hears a name?

This Yang Qi, what is the origin and how much is hidden in his body?

Looking outside the house, no matter how long the summer day was, it was completely dark, and his adult still didn't mean to move. Xu Xing swallowed his saliva and had to speak again: "My lord, it's the right time, you haven't had dinner yet, aren't you ......?"

Don't ask him how he knows his family hasn't had dinner yet. You must know that since Yang Qi was called to this room by the adults for questioning before dinner, to the time Yang Qi left, an hour has passed, and the adults have never left this room. This is something you only need to ask the dragon guards outside.

Then, since Yang Qi left, he also followed the guards outside and stayed outside this room until the news of the Zhenfu Division was delivered.

In fact, he Xu Xing didn't have dinner either, but he asked his subordinates to bring him two buns to fill his stomach during the meal, so that his stomach was not so hungry.

"Xuzheng!" Yin Xuezheng seemed to have just woken up, and his stomach followed with a 'cooing' sound. I'm really hungry, he has always been a big thing and never treats his stomach badly, but now he was really shocked by that Yang Qi, so shocked that he even forgot the stomach he cared about the most, it really shouldn't be.

With a deep sigh, Yin Xuezheng waved his hand and stood up: "Xu Xing, look at you haven't used to eat, right?" Let's go, go to Lingxiao Pavilion, and invite you to eat honey duck today." ”

When Xu Xing heard this, he nodded his head again and again excitedly, and the originally heavy steps under his feet suddenly became brisk.

You must know that the honey duck in Lingxiao Pavilion is a famous and high-quality product in the whole capital, and he has only eaten it once, so he likes it very much. But the backstage and the asking price of silver there made him only think about it every time, but he couldn't step on that leg. Today, he is stained with the light of his family, and it is not in vain that he has stood outside for two hours.

............

A cool breeze hit, blowing the pages of the book several times in a row, Liu Shuangli frowned unhappily and looked sideways.

"Miss Yang is so interested, she is still working hard at this hour. ”

In front of the uninvited door, there stood a handsome boy in brocade, looking at her in the room and smiling.

Liu Shuangli's eyes darkened, although she was not said now, it was equivalent to being under house arrest. She couldn't get out of this courtyard, and her two sisters, who originally lived in the same courtyard with her, suddenly received a task four days ago and were sent out.

In the past few days, only one person will come to this small courtyard, except for the people who brought her food.

"Shi Gongzi came uninvited, and he was not afraid of shocking people?"

The girl's window was only half-hidden, and the candlelight came out of the window, and as long as she lowered her head slightly, she could see the scene in the house, and Lang naturally couldn't startle the girl. ”

Speaking very openly, Liu Shuangli sighed and was speechless.

The handsome and elegant young man in front of her was the one who entered Beijing with her, Shi Lang, the third young master of the Shijia family in Xi'an. Liu Shuangli was a few days ago, that is, a month after being forcibly dragged into Long Xingwei, a few days before she revealed the name of Qilin Pavilion, she suddenly learned that he was a person from the second generation of Long Xingwei's dark department, and she was really surprised by this.

At the same time, he was secretly curious about Long Xingwei, this department hidden in the shadows and unknown to outsiders, its strength and personnel composition, I am afraid that it is only stronger than the Ming Department known to outsiders.

And after knowing Shi Lang's true identity, Liu Shuangli found that this Shi Gongzi, who gave a gloomy look when he first met, suddenly seemed to be a different person.

The eyes that had been gloomy and dull in his original impression disappeared from his face, replaced by a pair of eyes that were often smiling and shining. The word taciturn no longer has anything to do with him, and he often chatters so much that Liu Shuangli has a callouse from his ears.

Is this person really the third son of the Shi family who just died of his wife a few years ago and was so depressed that he couldn't help himself? Is it because he has nowhere to worry about Shi Lang, who has to accompany his ignorant sister to the capital to relax?

Liu Shuangli rubbed his head, looked at the eyes in front of him with a smile, and shook his head as he spoke, shaking his head once again uninvited the brocade boy, she would not believe this if she was killed now.

She even wondered now whether the wife of this son, who had passed away years ago, really fell ill and died? If not, did it have a deep meaning, it was to give the smiling Shi San Gongzi in front of her an excuse to leave home openly.

"Is there something wrong with Shi Gongzi?" Liu Shuangli reluctantly squeezed out a smile and asked with a routine formula.

"Well, there's something. Shi Lang nodded, pulled over a chair and sat down.

"Something?" Liu Shuangli opened her mouth, there was something wrong with her ears, you heard it right, he really had something?
