Chapter 264: Listening and Traps
After Li Jin finished speaking, he turned around and left, not even leaving time for Aunt Zhao to react.
Aunt Zhao was choked with a burp, staring at Li Jin's back, the corners of her mouth trembling.
She is in charge of the palace and has been shuttling between nobles for many years, and she has never seen such a quiet official daughter
But after decades of training in the palace, although Aunt Zhao's temper and heart have been smoothed out, her patience and tenacity have already been perfected, and few others can match them.
Even more because of the instructions of the king of Nanxiang, she didn't dare to return like this.
After breathing a sigh of relief, she immediately hurried towards Li Jin, who had already walked out more than a dozen steps away.
"Wait, Miss Li, please stay, listen to me, just say a word"
Aunt Zhao chased straight to the gate of the garden, and this was the general who caught up with Li Jin's pace, but no matter what she called, Li Jin didn't say anything about turning back, but she didn't pause.
At this time, Li Jin only felt funny, how could these two beat her idea
In the army north of Li Hui, it was so monolithic
Now she has a lot of trouble, but she doesn't want to stick to the king of Nanxiang with ulterior motives.
Forced to be helpless, Aunt Zhao was in a hurry and shouted: "Miss Li, it's me, I want to ask you for help and carry something to the north."
Hearing this, Li Jin's feet paused slightly.
She knew that this was an excuse for Aunt Zhao to hold her back. But maybe she can find out from it that the industries or related news related to the king of Northern Xinjiang and Nanxiang will also help Su Jing find clues about his father when the time comes.
Thinking like this, Li Jin suddenly stopped.
turned around neatly, and took a step sideways, giving way to Aunt Zhao, who was unable to close her feet and almost fell into her arms.
"Ahh
Fortunately, behind Li Jin was a big tree that was laborious for three people to embrace, allowing Aunt Zhao to support her body with strength, otherwise she would have to fall into the mud at the moment.
But even if Aunt Zhao didn't fall at this time, her clothes were scraped messily by the bark and stained with crumbs.
Aunt Zhao, who was embarrassed, was full of anger, but when she turned around, she didn't dare to vent to Li Jin at all.
Li Jin smiled and glanced at Aunt Zhao up and down, blessed her body and said, "Aunt Zhao, why is she in such a hurry, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see anyone for a while." ”
Looking at Aunt Zhao, who was more angry in her eyes and almost overflowing, Li Jin continued: "Aunt Zhao don't worry, I will send someone to talk to my mother in a while, and prepare a change of clothes for Aunt Zhao, just to ask you to wait in the side hall to avoid people." ”
Aunt Zhao pinched her sleeves, and her eyes gradually turned red from anger.
Since she took charge of the palace, no one dared to say anything about her avoiding people
Li Jin listened to Aunt Zhao's faint grinding of her teeth, and knew that the stimulation was almost there, so she reined in and said with a smile: "I don't know why Aunt Zhao lied to me just now, and what kind of thing you want me to help carry it"
Over the years, Aunt Zhao, who had never been teased like this, only felt that she was being smoked by Li Jin's anger at the moment, and before she was about to break out, after hearing Li Jin's question, she was shocked to realize that the errand that the prince had explained had not yet been completed
Angry, she only felt that she looked at Li Jin more, and her lungs would be blown up if she said a word.
Therefore, glaring at Li Jin, he said succinctly: "An uncle of mine has settled in the north, but he has not heard from him recently. When you get to the north, bother to help me find it, and pass it on to him. I have found people and sent letters, and I will reward them here."
This is the back road prepared for herself on the way when Aunt Zhao came, in case Li Jin is too vigilant and refuses to get on the prince's boat, she will use this trap to drag Li Jin into the water first.
Under coercion and temptation, as long as Li Jin goes to this troubled water, the prince will naturally have a way to force her to pass on the news.
In this way, the errand given to her by the prince is not a mess.
It's just that if she wants to leave a tail for the prince to deal with like this, it always seems that she has no means and ability, so this can only be the last resort.
But who knows, before she and Li Jin could say a word, the other party forced her to use the last resort
When Aunt Zhao was grinding her teeth with hatred, Li Jin blinked and said in confusion: "Such a simple matter, with Aunt Zhao's status in the heart of the prince, wouldn't it be good to send a few family members to the north to find it, could it be that he committed something and didn't dare to let the mansion know?"
Li Jin's rhetorical question surprised Aunt Zhao in a cold sweat.
Unexpectedly, this young lady was so keen that she hit the joint of this trap at once.
Because Li Jin rarely participates in various flower banquets on weekdays, let alone inquire about her preferences, even fewer people have seen her.
So the joint of this last hole card, Aunt Zhao originally planned to wait until she saw Li Jin clearly, and it was not too late to make up for it.
As long as she can say a few words, she is confident that she can still figure out four or five points.
But who would have thought that Li Jin would not be able to enter such oil and salt
Li Jin and her words were less than two and a half sentences in total, which made her go to find out the other party's background
Fortunately, Aunt Zhao's mind turned quickly, and after hearing the second half of Li Jin's words, a flash of inspiration immediately flashed in her mind.
"Actually, it's not a crime. That is, my uncle was once placed in an industry in the north. But he didn't care too much about an errand, and ran out privately, annoying the prince."
Speaking of this, Aunt Zhao sighed sadly, looked at Li Jin sadly and helplessly, and said, "Miss Li probably doesn't know, I am now in charge of the affairs of the palace, and my identity is like this." It's not right, and it's not good, if you let the government know that I'm private"
Li Jin seemed to be full of sympathy, nodded before continuing: "Then Aunt Zhao tell me which shop in the north your uncle worked as an errand boy."
Aunt Zhao was a stalk, and Li Jin was troubled in her heart.
She said that her uncle was on the run, and she didn't want to make a big deal about it, why didn't Li Jin understand
Aunt Zhao was planning to perfunctory the past, but she didn't want Li Jin to say before she spoke: "I just ask, and let people secretly investigate when the time comes." There are more clues like this, and it's easy to find people, don't you say?"
Speaking of which, Aunt Zhao has nothing else to say
While solemnly thanking Li Jin for her trouble, her mind was racing rapidly.
If you talk about a shop casually, when Li Jin arrives at the place, if she secretly investigates first, won't she immediately know that what she said is false
Now that she is forced to do this, she must give a shop name, and it can't be that anyone can approach casually and find out the details.
And the prince's business in the north is most concerned about and has never been handled by her, and even the shopkeepers have heard that it is mysterious
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhao immediately made up her mind in her heart.
"Qingyun Tea Shop, my uncle was the deputy shopkeeper there. But he only cares about accounts on weekdays, and his temperament is dull and silent, and he rarely goes out. I'm afraid that Miss Li won't find out any news about him from there. I'll tell you an address, where do you go to find it when the time comes."
