Chapter 222: Turmoil
The criminal court only arranged a boy and a woman for Cui Feifei, and both of them were very old, so Hua Rong suggested that she and the two of them pretend to be a family. Cui Feifei did not object, changed into a gorgeous dress, unloaded the jewelry, and left Mei Xiang and all the palace attendants to Hua Rong, then got into the new carriage, followed the caravan that went to Chang'an to sell New Year's goods, and set off in the cold of the early morning.
After Cui Feifei set off, she no longer knew the situation behind her, let alone what Hua Rong had to do to make those who were secretly staring at her not suspicious. However, she really walked out of Qinghe smoothly, and she didn't encounter any trouble on the road for three days, and the two prison attendants who pretended to be a family with her also said that the road was very safe, as long as nothing happened to Huarong, they should be able to return to Chang'an smoothly, maybe faster than expected.
In the past few days, Cui Feifei turned back what Hua Rong said before and pondered it a few times, and secretly sighed that although An Lan's plan was very dangerous, every step was indeed cleverly designed and interlocking, so that people had to follow her wishes.
Moreover, this plan was obviously designed by An Lan a long time ago, so she waited for the right time to send Hua Rong to respond. Cui Feifei was actually a little uncomfortable at first, after all, this was a matter of the Cui family, why didn't An Lan tell her about this plan before she left the Xiang Palace, whether it was out of respect or to ensure that the plan could be implemented smoothly, she should be discussed with her before ...... It's just that then she thought about it again, and finally had to admit it, and chose not to tell her first, I'm afraid it was also in An Lan's plan.
If she had told her at the beginning, she would not have agreed, she would never believe that her mother would join forces with Daomen to deal with her, let alone that the Cui family had already prepared to put her under house arrest. At every step, people's hearts are treacherous and changeable, and An Lan has calculated it.
Cui Feifei sighed softly, and suddenly remembered what An Lan said to her not long ago: I sometimes worry that I am used to speculating on people's hearts, so I no longer trust anyone, only myself. It sounds powerful, but it's actually terrifying, and to go to that extreme is already a vulnerability that you don't even know about. You are different, you are not good at scheming, so you never figure out people's hearts, you can always believe in human nature, even if sometimes the facts do not match what you believe, you can accept it calmly, your heart will not be affected by this, you are really strong. Changxiangdian needs people like you very much, and with you as a mirror, I can always be vigilant about myself.
Looking back now, she still feels ashamed, how hard a heart must be to avoid being swallowed up by all kinds of accidents, pain, sorrow and disappointment on the road of life.
……
On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Situ Jing received news from Qinghe, when Cui Feifei returned to Chang'an from the post station, encountered several sneak attacks on the way, the injuries of the people around her, and how she was persuaded by the people sent by Mrs. Qingyao after arriving in Qi County, she had to give up Chang'an, and now she has been closed in Cui's mansion, but the relatives of the Cui family and the Yun family have been officially put on the agenda, and these things have been written down.
"I have all returned to Chang'an, and I have been on the road all night, but I can still be persuaded to go back again?" Situ Jing read the secret letter in his hand, said a little sarcastically, and handed the letter in his hand to Chuan Wu, who was waiting next to him.
Chuan Wu took it, took a quick look, groaned slightly, and then said, "Is the high priest suspected that Cui Daxiang Master is cheating?"
Situ Jing said: "I don't believe that Master Cui Daxiang will regret his decision twice in a row. ”
Chuanwu thought for a while, and then said: "Master Cui Daxiang should have to go back to Cui Mansion with Mrs. Qingyao in the end, that night, she must have understood how dangerous the road back to Chang'an is, so she can only compromise, besides, it is her Cui family after all." And now that Master Cui Daxiang is already in the Cui Mansion, no matter how unwilling she is in her heart, the wood is already in the boat, at least during this time, she will no longer be able to care about the affairs of the Changxiang Palace. ”
The reason is right, but Situ Jing was silent for a long time, but he still couldn't ignore the lingering doubts in his heart, but now it has been several days since what happened in Qinghe, and it is too late for him to pass the word on his side.
"Let everyone be more careful, increase the manpower at a few points of the peripheral card in Chang'an City, and as soon as you notice any movement, you will immediately send a message back. For a long time, Situ Jing could only command such a sentence.
Xie Lanhe had formed an alliance with them, Cui Feifei had left Chang'an, An Lan had been planted with a Incense Gu, and his influence on her was getting bigger and bigger, Jingchen had also been led out of the Changxiang Hall by Xie Lanhe, and Xie Lanhe had trapped her, and now a Liu Xuanji was still guarding the Changxiang Palace, but she was also injured and no longer a threat.
The current Changxiang Hall is an empty hall, as long as he succeeds in the challenge, and then gives an order, he will be able to pocket the Changxiang Palace, and the name is justified.
……
The Spring Festival is approaching, every household in Chang'an City is busy doing New Year's goods, giving New Year's gifts, Changxiang Hall is naturally no exception, in fact, since a month ago, there have been people to Changxiang Hall to deliver all kinds of New Year's gifts. If it was in previous years, who should be responsible for receiving such things, who should count and store, there are conventions, no matter how busy you are, it will not be chaotic, because as long as the incense hall finds out who dares to do anything on this, the punishment is extremely heavy, and it is inevitable to eat a meal of flesh and skin, and you have to double the compensation afterwards, and you may even be imprisoned.
However, this year, there was a mess.
Since the great incense masters had to leave the incense hall, all kinds of rumors have been born in the incense hall, and many people with active minds have also given birth to many hearts, and the things in their hands are no longer as dedicated as before. More people began to disobey the rules, secretly thinking about how they did not plan for themselves, so the delivery of news stalled and miscommunicated, resulting in many transactions either being delayed or making mistakes and omissions. And such a responsibility, if you check it, there is a large list of people involved, so everyone either blames each other, or covers each other, a vicious circle, making the personnel in the incense hall more and more chaotic, and many clowns also jumped out one by one.
Among them, the Tianshu Hall is naturally indispensable, and the losses caused by personnel chaos have been put on Lu Yuan's table, but Lu Yuan has not solved these things, which is quite resigned.
However, one of the things that happened in the Xiangdian today made the head of the hall in the front hall couldn't help it anymore, and directly found Lu Yuan, and said with a cold face before he entered the door: "Yuan Xiangxiang, you have been too lazy and hiding too much these days, Mr. An handed over the chores of the Xiangdian to you, that is, he trusts you, do you still want to do it!"
Lu Yuan hurriedly stood up and greeted him: "What happened to let you come!"
