Chapter 191, Footprint Scouting
Lu Chuan and Su Jun looked at Jiang Shaoqing in a daze, could it be that Empress Dowager Zhang really wanted to take them hostage?
Isn't it rumored in the city that General Zhang Haidong is about to arrive in Beijing, so that the Great Sima is the best talisman for Empress Dowager Zhang, and there is no need to take them hostage. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But if there is no fame, why does Master Jiang sing this play?
The sky is already hot, Jiang Shaoqing is a little unreasonable this time, Li Hongliang wiped the sweat on his forehead, thinking of the bad consequences caused by these words, Li Hongliang couldn't help but glared at Jiang Shaoqing viciously. This man is so hateful that he is about to be killed by him! If I knew that I would have asked someone to plug his mouth and bring him over!
Jiang Shaoqing looked innocent and said, "Isn't it good, what are you staring at Lord Ben? Is there really something hidden?"
Li Hongliang waved his hand stiffly, and said in a warning tone: "Lord Jiang, let's put away your careful thoughts! Please—"
Everyone sighed, how could Master Jiang say such a brainless thing? But looking at the guards standing in front of the door as if they were killing gods, and the corpse that was hanging on the city tower was enough to show that the majesty of the Empress Dowager Zhang was still an unshakable existence in the entire Dajing Dynasty.
Everyone didn't dare to talk casually, they just closed their mouths and looked at each other, and they were stunned for a moment before they dispersed in this serious and uncomfortable atmosphere.
At this time, the two middle-aged men who were mixed in the crowd with medium height and unattractive appearance, with patches on their clothes, glanced at each other, and if they looked closely, they would find that one of them was not someone else, but the man who helped Lu Chuan carry the water before.
The guard stepped forward and said, "Look at it, don't hurry up and leave!"
The two turned around with calm faces, and as usual, they walked through the main road of the capital and walked a few streets and alleys, and then turned a corner.
Today, there are many inconspicuous white gravel at the gate of the Imperial City and other roads, which will break when stepped on, and stick to the soles of shoes after breaking, leaving white shallow footprints when walking.
Gonggong Li stood on the city tower with satisfaction and looked down, waved the dust whisk in his hand, and said in a sharp voice: "Go and see, follow up." ”
Sure enough, there was a shoe print on the road. Large and small shoe prints are stacked together.
Because this kind of thing is very common, no one cares about the feet for a while.
The two men, who were mixed in with the crowd, did not notice the shoe prints under their feet, and as usual, they swerved to a narrow road on the edge. Only then did he turn around and quietly pay attention to the surrounding situation.
After the two turned the corner, many soldiers quietly followed, gathered in the small alley area on the edge, and soon Gonggong Li reported to the Empress Dowager Zhang.
At this time, Empress Dowager Zhang was asking Lu Chuan to diagnose her pulse, and when she saw Gonggong Li, she waved her hand to Lu Chuan and said, "Lu Chuan, you will live in the palace today." The mourners will take care of some things first, and then come and summon you later. ”
"Yes~" Lu Chuan nodded respectfully, and under the leadership of Aunt Yun Yao, he went to the side hall not far away. Along the way, the doubts in her heart became bigger and bigger, thinking of what Lord Jiang said in front of the palace gate, could it be that what Lord Jiang said was true?
"What's wrong?"
Empress Dowager Zhang stared at Gonggong Li.
Gonggong Li stepped forward and said cautiously: "I went down according to the instructions of the Queen Mother." ”
"Did you keep up?"
Gonggong Li continued: "I followed and looked, most of the footprints were normal, there were only a few in front of a door, but there were a few remote and sparsely populated residential areas with a large number of shallow footprints. Li Hongliang's subordinates suspected that there was a problem and asked if they wanted to lead troops to search. ”
"Is there anyone living there on the fringes?" I hadn't paid attention to before, said Empress Dowager Zhang.
Gonggong Li nodded and said respectfully: "Li Hongliang said that he didn't notice this place before, but today, when I look at it, it is not sparsely populated, on the contrary, the footprints show that people here move around very often." And after investigation, many of these footprints came from the gate of the palace. ”
Empress Dowager Zhang's expression was grim. Would the common people pay so much attention to the palace's every move?
Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Search, ask Li Hongliang to personally lead the troops, and no family can let go." ”
On the other side, Lu Chuan returned to the side hall under the leadership of Aunt Yun Yao, which was an independent small palace very close to the Queen Mother's bedroom. During this period, Lu Chuan saw a bald monk, led by the palace maid, walking towards the place where Empress Dowager Zhang was sleeping.
"Please have a good rest. If there is anything needed, just ask the palace maid to pick it up, and it is likely to be summoned again after dinner, and ask Mrs. Hou to prepare. Aunt Yun Yao said.
"Good. Lu Chuan nodded. Aunt Yun Yao was blessed and retreated.
The palace is divided into the left hall and the right hall, and Su Jun and Lord Jiang are waiting in the hall. Seeing that Lu Chuan was back, Su Jun hurriedly greeted him and asked in a low voice, "I didn't embarrass you, did I?"
Lu Chuan looked at him quietly and shook his head.
looked at Jiang Shaoqing behind Su Jun, at this moment, he was eating fruit at the bar, looking like the sky had nothing to do with him.
Su Jun sat down opposite Jiang Shaoqing with Lu Chuan.
"Master Jiang is really interested. Su Jun looked at Jiang Shaoqing with an inquiring expression, and also raised his hand to take a pear, thoughtfully peeled the skin, cut it into pieces, and inserted a toothpick in front of Lu Chuan.
Jiang Shaoqing nodded disapprovingly: "That's, it's rare for us to come to the palace, and what's even more valuable is-" He stretched out his arms: "Jiang can live in such a big palace in his lifetime, hehe, I really wake up with a smile in my dreams!"
Does that really have to be the case?
He looked at the deep meaning in Jiang Shaoqing's eyes. His tone was calm, and he said in a low voice: "I don't care what you have in mind, but if you let Benhou's wife suffer any harm, I will never let you have a good life." ”
This tone is said while peeling, but it is impossible to ignore every word of him.
Jiang Shaoqing stopped the movement in his mouth, pinched the apple and looked at Su Jun, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, how can I be willing to let my little Lu Chuan be hurt!"
Finally, Su Jun stopped and corrected seriously: "It's better for Master Jiang to pay attention to the wording, Xiao Lu Chuan and Little Divine Doctor are all Benhou's." ”
"Tsk!" Jiang Shaoqing sourly snorted, "Of course Mrs. Hou Ye is Hou Ye's! What's more... Hey, look at your wife's thin little body, Jiang is not interested in this kind of child, so you..."
Lu Chuan couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked down at his arms and legs, child, isn't it?
She frowned, hey, her words are getting more and more outrageous, more and more excessive!
Lu Chuan's face darkened, but Su Jun hooked the corners of his mouth: "Let's ignore this lonely man, he is suitable for Mother Liu." Little Lu Chuan, let's go!"
After Su Jun and Lu Chuan left, the figure outside the door flashed slightly. It turned out that the relationship between this Hou Ye and Master Jiang was not so good, and a maid happily reported the news she heard to the Empress Dowager Zhang.
