Chapter 258: Chapter 249: Moving the County Palace

"Therefore, not only did you take Luo Niang and Xiang Niang to the banquet of the Ling family in Wei County, but also set up a few people in his house?" Is it worth it just a county order? Shouldn't it be more important to add more people to the Yang family? After all, if Mrs. Wei moved, she could see it more clearly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"It was precisely because I went to Wei's house that I felt that this inner house was worth exploring. Of course, the Yang family should also put a few more people, and with the help of Princess Anxing, they don't have to worry about being resettled. Even if there are no loopholes around Mrs. Wei, Yang Qian and Xiao Wei's courtyard may not be like this. However, it may take some time before the right news comes back. ”
Outside the window, the voices of people are boiling, and from a distance, the fire trees and silver flowers never sleep, like the sky hanging and the stars falling into the world. On the night of Shangyuan in Chang'an City, hundreds of thousands of people occupied almost every street, countless lanterns of all kinds hung on both sides, and the lantern towers, light rings, light trees, light wheels, and light walls were enough to dazzle everyone.
This is a liquor store on the side of the West Market. Princess Changning sat by the window, looking at the large and small lanterns on the lamp tree on the side of the wine shop, and the corners of her lips hooked slightly: "Observing Mrs. Wei and all the Wei daughters, it is too much to just hand them over to Sister Luo Niang." We can also join in and say what else we can discover. By the way, don't they like to burn incense and worship Buddha? Sister Du might as well find an opportunity to meet them by chance, and when she speaks, she may be able to detect something. ”
"Yue Niang-" Li Hui furrowed his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little disapproving. In his opinion, Du Niangzi yearns for a quiet life, and it is not suitable for her to be involved in this kind of intrigue. After all, all she wants is to avoid all strife and live her life on her own.
Who knows, Du Jialan bowed his head slightly and agreed: "Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, all lay people need to be peaceful and tolerant. If Mrs. Wei did not really believe in Buddhism, but just wanted to suppress the dissatisfaction and pain in her heart, she would definitely reveal one or two things inadvertently. It is only a matter of judging whether the true faith is true or false, but it does not matter. ”
Hearing this, Wang Zixian looked at her meaningfully, and Li Hui also thought about it. Du Niangzi's reaction was beyond their expectations, and perhaps in their expectations. It seems that before the Du family is filial, they should at least meet once to determine if there is any change in each other's thinking.
At this time, footsteps sounded outside the private room, and someone pushed the door in, it was Yan Zhan, the concubine who had just been sent out by Princess Changning to buy lanterns, and Yan Balang, who volunteered to accompany him. The lanterns selected by Yan Zhan are extremely exquisite, like a boudoir surrounded by flowers, and the lights in the building are revealed, and you can vaguely see human figures. Yan Balang took a pair of lifelike rabbit lamps very casually and gave them to Princess Yongan and the county lord of Shouyang respectively.
The two little guys couldn't put down the rabbit lamp, and they couldn't help but peek at the small building lamp next to Princess Changning. Princess Changning smiled and handed the lamp to them: "Take it and be stubborn." She was long past the age of holding a lantern in her hand, so naturally she could not be impressed by a mere lantern. However, Yan Zhan can be regarded as having a heart, and she doesn't mind being a little kind to him.
"Horse, we just mentioned it, and I think the princess's mansion should also hold a grand banquet. However, it has been too cold lately, and the scenery is not good, so it is not too late to hold it in early spring. When the time comes, how about letting the pony write the post? Whoever you want to invite, you can invite them and let all the guests have fun. ”
Yan Zhan's gaze became a little more gentle: "Your lord is right, the princess's mansion is too deserted, and it should be lively." He smiled and looked at Li Hui, Wang Zixian, Qin Cheng, and Zhou Yi: "In two days, the Chengguo Mansion will also hold a banquet, you should have received the post?" If you have time to spare, you must come. ”
It is said that this banquet in the Chengguo Mansion is the grandest in many years, and it is also for Princess Shang's Yan Zhan to build momentum. Even the saint and Empress Du, they wanted to invite them to come and sit down to show the emperor's favor to their family. And if His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Empress are here, are they still worried that those high-ranking officials, princes of the clan, and nobles will not come? Are you still worried that the momentum of the Chengguo Mansion will not return to the past?
Although everyone present understood the mind of the Chengguo Mansion, they had no intention of refusing. After all, at this time, if they lose face, it will be like despising Princess Changning. However, they used the name of Princess Changning to make their own strong reputation, so impatient, and their ugly posture made Li Hui and the others feel a little uncomfortable.
Soon after, Princess Changning took Yan Zhan to say goodbye, and Qin Cheng and Zhou Yi also led Qin Yun to the West Market to view the lantern. Li Hui ordered someone to send Du Jialan home, but she politely refused, and chose Zé to go with An Erniang, leaving with only her own maids and servants. Princess Yong'an and the county lord of Shouyang were sent to the private room on the other side to accompany Princess Pu Yan to watch the lights. After a short time, only Li Hui, Wang Zixian and Yan Balang were left in the private room.
Not long after the three of them sat down, Fan Wu and Sun Rong came quietly and took them to the backyard of the wine store. Coming out of the backyard door, several people wore black cloaks, passed through the bustling crowd, and silently came to a certain inn in Huaiyuanfang next door. At this moment, the inn was full of caravans from the north, surrounded by all kinds of official dialects with strange accents, and there seemed to be a sense of familiarity in the strangeness.
The sisters of the Wang family and He Cheng had learned from Li Hui and the prince the accents of the thieves in the Cicada Temple that day, but there were some deviations in their memory, and there were some subtle differences in what the three of them said. So, they simply came to this inn specially used by Sun Rong to house the northern caravan, and listened silently in the secret room, trying to find the most impressive tone from it.
They had been listening for a long time, and each wrote down which person they felt the accents were similar. Sun Jinniang carefully observed the positions of these people, and soon recalled their coming. However, the three of them felt that the number of people who moved in their ears was still very rare, and there were still some subtle differences from the tone in their memories.
"East of Xiazhou...... West of Shuozhou...... On top of it is Katsuju. After listening to Sun Jinniang's words about all the suspicions about Xiàng's origin, Wang Zixian dipped his finger in the wine and casually sketched a map on the low case, "In addition to the king of Yong'an County, the governor of Shazhou, the king of Hejian County, the governor of Shengzhou, and the king of Jiangxia County, the governor of Shuozhou, are all suspicious. Of course, the most suspicious is the king of Hejian County, after all, this Jiangxia county king did not grasp the military power left by his father, and he had already left Shuozhou. ”
"Leaving Shuozhou does not mean that you have not done anything near Shuozhou." Li Hui said, "Xiazhou, Shuozhou, and Shengzhou are staggered near Hu and Han, and if you want to investigate carefully, it is really difficult. If you startle the snake, it is impossible to say that the traitors will collude with those restless Turkic tribes and Tiele tribes, so we must be cautious. ”
At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly erupted in the wine shop. Several young men walked in with their servants, and when they saw that the hall was full of rough caravans, they were stunned, and seemed to hesitate whether to withdraw or not. However, they were so tired from watching the lanterns that they had no strength to look elsewhere, so they had to look around and reluctantly find an empty table in the corner to sit down and rest.
When several servants asked the men to eat something, Wang Xiangniang faintly heard their voices, suddenly raised her head, and her eyes lit up. Wang Luoniang and He Cheng also listened carefully, and heard the tone of one of the servants rise slightly, which seemed to be no different from the most profound accent in their memory.
As the saying goes, "there is nowhere to find when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it", without waiting for Li Hui and the prince to give instructions, Sun Rong immediately went out to talk to those young scholars. Before long, Sun Jinniang, who was dressed as a young man, brought them some wine and food, and brought some turbid wine to their servants to warm up.
So, when she was greeting, she asked: "Listening to the accents of a few people, it seems to be very similar to these businessmen, could it be that they are fellow villagers?" A few of the servants didn't mind telling them where they came from and where they came from.
"In the eyes of Chang'an people, we are all from northern Xinjiang, but in fact, our hometowns are thousands of miles apart! Among them, there are Lingzhou, Xiazhou, Shengzhou, Shuozhou, as well as Yunzhou and Yingzhou! We're even farther away! ”
Half an hour later, the Sun brothers and sisters returned to the secret room and informed everyone of what they had just investigated.
"The servant with the most similar accent came from a county town on the border of Xiazhou, Shengzhou and Shuozhou. Located on the banks of the Yellow River, the county town was flooded decades ago when it flooded villages, and there were many people selling their children's beards. I plan to take someone to that county seat to check carefully, to see if there are any bandits nearby, and if anyone has ever bought many people at once, or if there are more suspicious Zhuangzi. Sun Rong said.
Sun Jinniang thought for a moment: "Is it possible that there will be spies with similar accents in Beijing?" Just as we planted people everywhere and got all kinds of news, the rebel king will also send people to infiltrate the mansions? We don't dare to use it unless we are our own, and they must be the same. You may be able to identify a lot of chess pieces with similar accents. ”
"It's a long way, after all, it's not easy to control, even if you have planted chess pieces, there may not be many." Li Hui pondered for a moment, "Otherwise, there will be no need to constantly look for conspirators." Of course, it is called a conspiracy, but in fact, each has a ghost, and they must not be able to trust each other. Let's check the old servants of the Peng Palace's Mansion and the old servants of the Anxing Princess's Mansion, and we can't say what we will find. As for the other mansions, check slowly! ”
"If we can determine which are the pawns against the king, we can send them some plausible messages." Wang Zixian raised his eyebrows, "Not only can it help His Royal Highness King Jing gain the trust of the rebel king, but it can also provoke the trust between the rebel king and the eldest princess of Anxing." In addition, when these chess pieces deliver news to the outside, we can continue to track down and determine where the messages are ultimately sent. "Of course, maybe you can also use some false news to cause the rebel king to be restless, and sooner or later the flaws will be revealed!
"Great goodness!" Yan Balang and He Cheng immediately clapped their hands.
Things finally made progress, and everyone smiled, and their hearts were a little relieved. Li Hui and Wang Zixian asked Yan Balang and He Cheng to take Sister Wang Luoniang and Sun Jinniang to watch the lanterns and play tricks, and experience the endless excitement of Chang'an City all night. Sun Rong is not idle, and must start planning for a long trip.
When Li Hui and the prince went back to Fangcai's wine shop to pick up the Yan family and the two little guys, they suddenly remembered the remnants of the family who had been silent for a long time and wanted revenge: "There has been no news of the remnants of the family headed by Huan He for a long time. Princess Anxing has been under house arrest for so long, and she has not lured them out, which shows that they really do not obey her. However, the rebel king is now restless, and he didn't even send them to assassinate Princess Anxing? ”
"Maybe it's still dormant. Just continue to sow discord and put pressure on the rebel king, and they will appear sooner or later. ”
"They're a variable, hidden in the shadows, and it's always hard to guard against."
"Huan He shouldn't let Qi take revenge, Jingzhou Chu Wangfu is his target. Perhaps you should remind His Royal Highness the King of Chu a few more words...... If we put the pressure right, they will most likely not be able to bear it. ”
“…… I understand, I only hope that the Great Mother and Cousin Jiqing will not be implicated again. ”
"Huan He, this person has revenge and revenge, and he will not hurt the innocent." The prince remembered the assassination of the abolished prince a few years ago, and almost said with certainty, "It is a bright and upright person." ”
"I hope his temperament has never changed over the years." Li Hui sighed lightly.
