Chapter 100: Countermeasures
In this way, Aunt Ma has time to be alone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Ximei pondered and asked, "Aunt Ma also knows the Zheng family?" ”
"Wherever she recognizes, I told her."
In this way, Fourth Brother Tong often walks that narrow street, and Aunt Ma may have heard about it from Chen's mother.
The Zheng family has always been cautious, if Aunt Ma really has a problem, it is impossible to go straight to Furong Pavilion to report the news, maybe Aunt Ma has never seen the Zheng family, but Zheng's henchmen Zhou Pozi and Mother Xu may come forward in person.
Su Ximei thought about it for a long time, these days there is only one outsider, Aunt Ma, from the usual words, Mother Chen has great trust in Aunt Ma.
If it was in the past, Su Ximei would not have doubted such a seemingly unrelated person.
But now she'll look at the results first, and then find evidence of what happened.
After saying a few more words, Su Ximei sent Chen's mother out and instructed Ling Xiang to grind. Su Ximei copied a few copies of the layout of the Zhao Guogong Mansion drawn by Tong's mother, dried the ink, and folded it away.
Then he whispered to Ling Xiang: "Tomorrow morning, you go out of the house with me, and after half an hour, I will ask Fourth Brother Tong to send you back, you enter the house through the back corner door, remember not to let anyone find out." ”
Ling Xiang was a little puzzled after hearing this, "Miss, are you going to ......?"
"I want you to secretly investigate Aunt Ma."
Ling Xiang suddenly showed a look of surprise, isn't Aunt Ma Chen's cousin? What could be the problem?
This surprise only lasted for a moment, and Ling Xiang replied in a low voice, Miss suspected Aunt Ma, then Aunt Ma must have something suspicious.
Su Ximei said her speculation, Ling Xiang's expression became solemn, Miss entrusted her with a heavy responsibility, and she must not make a mistake tomorrow.
After a few more words, Su Ximei instructed Ling Xiang to boil hot water and wash.
Ling Xiang served Su Ximei to clean her hands and wipe her teeth, and after Su Ximei lay on the bed, Ling Xiang closed the window, extinguished the candle, and exited the room.
Ling Xiang was excited and worried when she was doing things alone for Miss for the first time, but she covered it up very well and did not show a difference.
Early the next morning, a servant woman brought a food box, and Ling Xiang waited for Miss Seven to eat. At the end of Chen, he followed Miss Seven to the Agarwood Pavilion, and then went out of the house. Tong Hai changed the place where the carriage was parked today, and it had been agreed last night, turned a street, walked a few more intersections, and got into the carriage outside a very inconspicuous tea shop.
Tong Hai drove to Zhao Guogong's mansion, and after making several detours, he stopped outside Zhao Guogong's mansion after making sure that no one was following.
Tong's mother was already waiting outside the gate, and when she saw Tong Hai's carriage, she hurriedly greeted her.
Su Ximei explained the situation to Tong Hai, Ling Xiang did not get out of the car, and soon Tong Hai drove back in the carriage.
Mother Tong had already taken care of everything, and said to the people in Zhao Guogong's mansion that Miss Seven had been taken care of by the eldest lady in the past, and the eldest lady was gone, so Miss Seven made a special trip to visit Zhao Guogong, so she should do her filial piety for the eldest lady.
The eldest lady's care for the seventh lady is known to everyone in Zhao Guogong's mansion, and this reason is reasonable.
Those who hide in the shadows will not be suspicious.
Su Ximei entered through the open side door, and a small servant led them to the main courtyard where Zhao Guogong lived.
The pavilions of the Zhao Guogong Mansion are still the same, but the newly grown branches of the ivy are disorderly, and it is obvious that no one has pruned them for a long time.
Su Ximei's gaze quickly swept over the layout of the mansion and kept it firmly in her mind.
Passing through the verandah, I saw that there were people guarding the porch of the main house. The little guy whispered a few words to the person at the door, and the person outside the door gently pushed the door open and saluted Su Ximei.
"Seventh Miss, Zhao Guogong is seriously ill and bedridden, and the imperial doctor is treating him inside, if you have anything to say, let the servant convey it on your behalf."
Su Ximei nodded when she heard this, raised her feet and walked in.
In the inner room, there are blessings such as the East China Sea fan, the imperial doctor on the inside of the fan is diagnosing Zhao Guogong, and on the outside is the mother-in-law and the personal servant with a hot water basin.
Su Ximei walked over to salute the imperial doctor, and raised her eyes to look at Zhao Guogong who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
Zhao Guogong's face was pale, his lips were dry, his eyes were closed, although he was sick, he could still see the toughness and clarity of his youth, at this time this old man was lying motionless on the bed, if it weren't for the slight ups and downs in his chest, I am afraid that everyone would think that Zhao Guogong had returned to Huangquan.
"How is Zhao Guogong?" Su Ximei asked.
The imperial doctor said: "There is only one breath left, Zhao Guogong is delirious, and he is getting more and more sleepy, I am afraid that he will not survive for a month." ”
No wonder her visit to the Guogong Mansion will go so smoothly, with Zhao Guogong's current situation, the emperor's people are not afraid of any accidents at all. Zhao Guogong was completely unconscious, and if he wanted to say anything or have ulterior motives, Zhao Guogong couldn't hear or see it.
But since Zhao Guogong is ill like this, why didn't the emperor take his life, but sent the imperial doctor in the palace to carefully diagnose and treat him, what kind of secret is behind this?
Su Ximei didn't stay long before leaving the house, and after waiting for a while, Tong Hai drove the carriage back. Then the group went to the inn from last time.
The people from the Bao family, the Cao family, the Zou family and the Ji family all came, and Master Pang and Mrs. Pang had been waiting for a long time.
The third lang Bao Bo and Shilang Bao Xian of the Bao family, Cao Wei, the eldest lang of the Cao family, Zou Ming, the eldest son of the Zou family, Zou Ting, the second lang Zou Ting, the fourth lang Ji Quan and the fifth lang Ji Zong of the Ji family, greeted Su Ximei in turn, and Su Ximei also bowed her knees in turn.
Everyone is here to save Zhao Guogong, and if there are no superfluous words, let's go straight to the point.
Su Ximei gave the transcribed layout map to the Bao family, the Cao family, the Zou family and the Ji family, and spread out her own copy and placed it in the center.
"The Zhao Guogong Mansion is heavily guarded, there are two guards here, there are four guards at the second gate, there are two guards outside the main courtyard, and the people in the inner courtyard are all from the emperor, there are ten in total, and there are two teams of guards in the Guogong Mansion to patrol, one team of six people."
Originally, Su Ximei was not sure whether the emperor would attack Zhao Guogong, after all, the previous ones were all speculations, but after going to the Guogong Mansion today, Su Ximei was sure that this speculation was the truth.
Zhao Guogong is seriously ill, the house is still in order, although the guards are all dressed as small servants, but the steps are fast and light, the body is tall, and the movements are flexible, which is definitely not the temperament that ordinary subordinates should have. The important thing is that Su Ximei felt the aura around those so-called little guys, which was the unique aura of those who practiced martial arts.
is also a martial arts student, and is involved in the rivers and lakes, which Su Ximei can easily see.
These people have a good foundation in martial arts, but they are not like people in the rivers and lakes, and with the previous inference, the identities of these people are about to come out.
Ouchi guards or people in the forbidden army. (To be continued.) )
