Chapter 021: There is another secret
"At the end of the year, everything came together, and even this happy event was also gathered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Gu Jialuo said casually, and the right was a transition for the husband and wife to chat.
I don't want Qi Jinzhi to really follow the topic, "Speaking of happy events, I really heard about it again." β
Gu Jialuo was curious, "Which one?" β
Qi Jinzhi's eyes were a little strange, and his tone was also strange, as if he was holding back a smile, "Ninth Princess." β
Gu Jialuo's eyes widened: "Huh? Nine, nine princesses? β
Doesn't it mean that because of his strange personality and helplessness, he has already been blacklisted by a lady in Beijing, why did he suddenly spread the good news?
And looking at Qi Jinzhi's expression, there seems to be something wrong with the future concubine of the Ninth Princess.
Sure enough, I heard Qi Jinzhi chuckle and said, "That's right, it's the Ninth Princess." Today, I heard a colleague say something from my colleague in Dali Temple, the lord of Yongjia is a matchmaker, and you also know the man, it is Zhao Jiu, the only son of Zhao Geng, the commander of Jinyiwei. β
This time, Gu Jialuo even turned his mouth into a '0' shape, "Zhao, the young master of Zhao's commanding envoys? That Zhao Jiuye, who has eight sisters in front of him? β
Zhao Geng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Gu Jialuo naturally recognized this legendary figure.
In Daqi, Jinyiwei has always been a mysterious existence, how many people are under his jurisdiction, what are the specific identities of these people, looking at the entire dynasty, except for the saints, only the commander makes Zhao Geng clear.
Even the people in the Jinyi Guard, except for their colleagues and top bosses in this part, they don't know what the situation is in the other hundred and thousands of households.
Moreover, under the deliberate favoritism and connivance of the saints, the Jinyi Guards were beyond the existence of the formal judicial yamen of Daqi, and they even had the privilege of directly arresting and interrogating officials.
The so-called ancient admonition of 'not punishing a doctor' will not work in Jinyiwei.
It is not that the imperial history has not impeached this unreasonable and illegal institution, but the saints have rejected it all. His old man made it clear that Jin Yiwei was the place he trusted the most, and all of Jin Yiwei's actions were approved by his old man.
If you oppose Jinyiwei, you are against me, the emperor. Why, do you really have a bad heart?
Okay, I didn't say it, the brocade guard is waiting!
If you have a revolt, you will naturally not let it go, and if you don't have a resent, Jinyiwei can also 'judge' the antipathy, and then treat you for the big crime of stealing your family and exterminating the clan.
β¦β¦ Whether it is the cabinet elders, or the nobles, the clan, or the ordinary civil and military officials, they all change their voices about Jinyiwei.
To be able to lead such a department that is beyond the scope of the law and is favored by the saints, the commander of the Jinyi Guard must be the henchmen of the saints.
Zhao Geng is such a person, he is a child of the clan, and his mother is the daughter of an unfavored county king, and he is a saint's cousin. He has been the companion of the saint since he was a child, and when the saint was still the prince, there were many difficulties, so Zhao Geng borrowed his own strength to assist the saint with all his might.
When a saint ascends the throne, he naturally rewards the meritorious heroes. Zhao Geng had the title of auxiliary general, and the sage gave him an official title that surpassed the ministers - the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
The reason why Gu Jialuo was able to know this head of the Great Qi spy was because of Master Miaozhen.
As the sage's sworn friends, Miaozhen and Zhao Geng also grew up together since childhood. Although the two are not friends of life and death, they are also close partners, and in the early years, in order to help the saint consolidate the throne, Miaozhen and Zhao Geng did many shady things together.
With too many common secrets, Rao is Miaozhen is far away from Hongchen, and his relationship with Zhao Geng has never been estranged.
Some time ago, Jin Yiwei was ordered to secretly investigate the matter of the southwest warbler millet seed, and Miao Zhen had quietly greeted Zhao Geng, otherwise, according to Jinyiwei's pervasive and unbroken skills, even if Gu Jialuo and his wife were innocent in the warbler corn incident, Jin Yiwei could also find out that the couple had violated the law in other aspects.
Qi Jinzhi also knew about these situations, so after he returned to Beijing, he found an excuse, specially went to visit Zhao Geng, and sent a lot of 'Tuyi' by the way - what pepper, what wild medicinal materials, add up, more than 10,000 taels of silver.
Zhao Geng is cold and hard, but he is not a person who is not popular. On the contrary, he was able to sit firmly in the special position of command, and in addition to the grace of the saint and his own ability, his communicative skills also played a very important role.
Don't look at everyone's many criticisms of Jinyiwei, and even secretly scolding this BT yamen, but there are not many people who really hate Zhao Geng. After all, people are in their positions, and they must always seek their own government.
did not leave too much infamy for doing evil, which shows Zhao Geng's skill.
Zhao Geng was very satisfied when he saw Qi Jin's words, and when he spoke, he did not touch the emperor's interests and the principles of Jinyi Wei, and slightly mentioned Qi Jinzhi.
Don't ignore Zhao Geng's identity, he is the head of the largest spy agency in Daqi, and the 'gossip' he knows is by no means gossip in the market, but a fact with tangible evidence.
Listening to him even if he vaguely mentioned a few words, Qi Jinzhi also benefited a lot.
Moreover, Zhao Geng is a professional criminal investigator, and extorting confessions by torture is definitely the first to do so, and some of his experience is also very useful for Qi Jinzhi, who has just entered Dali Temple.
That day, Qi Jinzhi had a very happy conversation with Zhao Geng in Xiao's house, and Zhao Commander admired Qi Jinzhi's young and sensible people, and Qi Jinzhi was grateful for Zhao Geng's suggestions and help, but after a meal, the two actually felt a little sympathetic to each other.
Zhao Geng was happy, and during the banquet, he called his only son Zhao Jiu and asked him to get close to his peers.
Therefore, Qi Jinzhi not only met Zhao Jiu, but also had dinner with him at the same table, and had a little understanding of this phoenix egg of the Zhao family.
"That's right, it's the ninth master of the Zhao family," Qi Jinyi recalled Zhao Jiu's words and deeds, and said to Gu Jialuo with a smile: "How to say it, this young master is very good-looking, and it is said that he inherited it from his biological mother, an Oiran of the Sect ......."
Zhao Geng has a wife and N concubines in his family, and gave birth to eight daughters and one son for him, the first eight daughters are either from his wife or from a good concubine from an innocent background, but this son is from a prostitute from the lowest background.
The prostitute is good-looking, and her temperament is also soft, and she is very good at bowing down and being small in front of the eldest woman of the Xiao family, and after some consideration, the eldest woman hugged Zhao Jiu by her side to raise her.
But Zhao Jiu was born too well, and it would be difficult to distinguish between male and female without having to wear women's clothes.
Because of his appearance and background, he was ridiculed and bullied by his brothers in the clan when he was a child, and when he grew up, he also had a lot of incidents because of his appearance. In this way, Zhao Jiu's introverted and cowardly temperament has been developed, and the marriage has been delayed again and again, and many things have not gone well.
"He's really that beautiful?"
Gu Jialuo had never seen Zhao Jiu, but he had heard a lot of rumors about him, and he was very sympathetic to his past when he was a big man but was often molested by men.
Qi Jinzhi nodded vigorously, but his smile gradually faded, and he said with a little solemnity: "However, Zhao Jiu always gives me a little weird, although there is nothing wrong, but it is always a little uncomfortable." β
But soon Qi Jinzhi shook his head again and said with a smile: "But the ninth princess is not a good match, marry him, and neither of them should suffer." β
Gu Jialuo thought for a while, "Yes, the left and right don't want to do anything with us." We just need to wait for the princess to descend and the Zhao family to have a happy event, and give a generous gift, what does it matter if it is good or bad? β
For Gu Jialuo, the ninth princess or something has long been a matter of the previous life. How she is doing, whether she continues to 'do' or not, Gu Jialuo doesn't care at all. As long as she doesn't provoke herself anymore, she won't care.
Gu Jialuo doesn't care, but someone cares.
"The ninth princess marries Zhao Jiu?"
Yao Xiruo looked sick, lying on the couch on a thick pillow, listening to the reply of the next person, he couldn't help but be taken aback, "The news is true?" β
"It's true, it's the Lord of Yongjia who is the matchmaker, and the saint has agreed, just wait for the clear will to come down, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will prepare for the wedding."
There was an inconspicuous maid kneeling in the open space in front of the couch, she knelt straight, although her attitude was respectful, but there was not much cowardice between her eyebrows.
"Zhao Jiu? The precious young master of the Zhao Command Envoy family? Yao Xiruo couldn't believe his ears and was sure again and again.
The maid nodded again, "That's this master." β
Her expression was calm, but she had some doubts in her heart: Why is Qi Yao's family so excited, isn't she not dealing with the Ninth Princess, how can she hear that the Ninth Princess married a handsome husband, instead of being annoyed, she has a gloating face?!
"Haha, hahaha, Zhao Jiu, the ninth princess actually wants to marry Zhao Jiu, haha, it's great, it's really good!"
Yao Xiruo suddenly stroked her palms and laughed, but her body had not fully recovered, and after laughing twice, it triggered a series of coughs, and her face was a little bad.
But her eyes were still full of excitement and joy.
"Fourth Grandma Yao, are you okay?" The maid frowned, and asked with concern according to the rules.
In fact, what she wants to ask more is, is there anything wrong with this family business? Or does the Zhao family have something inside that outsiders don't know?
Yao Xiruo waved his hand, wiped away the tears that came out of his laughter, and said with an unsteady breath: "It's okay, I'm fine, haha, I, I'm going to attend the wedding of the Ninth Princess." β
Looking forward to it, I'm really looking forward to it, in her last life, she was killed by the slut of the 'Nine Princesses', and she wants to take a good look at the fate of the Nine Princesses in this life.
After these days, Yao Xiruo has dealt with the Ninth Princess countless times, and she has gradually discovered an unbelievable 'truth' - the Ninth Princess must be the same as her Yao Xiruo, both of whom are people with adventures. And if Yao Xi is eight or nine points sure, the lonely soul and wild ghost who now occupies the body of the ninth princess is very likely to be the 'Gu Jialuo' in the previous life.
Although this 'truth' is too unreasonable, Yao Xi can quickly accept it if he thinks about his own situation.
Because only for this reason can it be explained that in Liu's house that day, it was obviously the first time she saw the ninth princess, but she was pushed into the deep pool and almost died.
can also explain why the ninth princess suddenly became so close to Gu Jialuo and Gu Qiong, the two sluts, and took the initiative to help Gu Qiong block the marriage that should have belonged to Gu Qiong, and finally killed Zhao Chu.
Wait, Gu Qiong? Zhao Chu?
Zhao, Zhao Chu, he is also surnamed Zhao, is there any blood relationship between him and Zhao Geng?
Yao Xiruo felt as if he had touched the edge of the truth, but he still needed more evidence.
After thinking about it, Yao Xiruo pretended to be puzzled and said, "You just said that the county lord of Yongjia was the matchmaker?" Okay, why does Yongjia bother with the affairs of the ninth princess? β
Yongjia is a person who can't afford to be profitable, especially now, the Yu Wangfu and the Yang family are showing signs of decay, as a woman who is used to enjoying privileges, she will never sit idly by and watch the decline of her mother's family and her mother-in-law's family.
In the middle, there must be a cat!
The maid heard the meaning of Yao Xiruo's words, and asked carefully: "You mean, the Zhao family's relatives have another inside story?" And Yongjia intends to profit from this family affair? β
Yao Xiruo was noncommittal, and said lightly: "I'm not sure, you can check it out, maybe there will be a surprising discovery." β
Although this is nominally her own maid, she has another master behind her back. In the past, she still knew how to cover up, but since Liu Chuchu became Miaozhen's 'destined person', this has become less and less interested in her Yao Xiruo.
Now, I just need to tell Yao Xiruo clearly that her blue mark is the eyeliner planted by 'him'.
That's right, this maid is Yao Xiruo's personal maid Biji, and she is a servant of the Gu family personally selected by Gu Zeyuan.
Yao Xiruo has always trusted Bi Jin, she never dreamed that this person was actually a spy.
What Yao Xiruo didn't expect was that 'he' would be so deliberate and start to lay out as early as twenty or thirty years.
The servants of the Gu family were all infiltrated by 'him', and Yao Xiruo shuddered when he thought about it.
She didn't dare to imagine if other people in the Four Great Princes' Mansion also had 'Bi Jin' in their families, and there were more princes' mansions, as well as the clans and eunuchs in the court, whether there were people like 'Bi Jin' in their families?!
There was fear and fear in his heart, Yao Xiruo didn't want to see Bi Jin's honest face at all.
Bi Jin didn't seem to feel Yao Xiruo's annoyance with her, so she replied and said, "The slave and maid understand, and the slave and maid will go to investigate the Zhao family and the Yongjia county lord separately." β
Yao Xiruo snorted from his nose, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, what's going on next door?" β
The next door she was talking about was Gu Jialuo's Agarwood Courtyard.
Bijin replied: "Yesterday, Grandma Gu ordered someone to go to Prince An's Mansion to pay a visit, and today I received a reply, saying that Master Miaozhen is not in good health and is not suitable for visitors. But for the sake of Grandma Gu's sincerity, she was allowed to visit the palace in three days. β
A gleam flashed in Yao Xiruo's eyes, "Oh, Gu Jialuo can finally see Miaozhen?" Hehe, I'm really looking forward to it, I don't know if Miaozhen will look at Gu Jialuo differently now. By the way, how is Liu Chuchu there? β
Bi Jin hooked the corners of his lips, "Everything is normal, Miao Zhen treats Liu Chuchu really well, and she almost treats her as an eyeball and a heart." β
Yao Xiruo slapped his palm hard, "Great, I will also go to Prince An's Mansion in three days." , you go and arrange it. By the way, let someone get some excellent jade, jade or ancient porcelain. β
These days, she has been collecting precious jade, treasures, and porcelain, and has absorbed a lot of energy from them, and the system that was forced to sleep has faintly shown signs of recovery.
Yao Xiruo couldn't help but be overjoyed, and became more and more crazy to collect treasures with energy. She believed that it wouldn't be long before her system would wake up, and by then, she would be able to repay her enemies!
