Chapter 460
It is said that Jia Cong and Feng Ziying explained Chen Ruijin's life experience, and after waiting for a few days to see that he and Yan Wang did not move, they knew that they would not make trouble about this matter for the time being, and they could save a heart. The pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info not long after he was born, and he was still on business in the Hanlin Academy that afternoon, when suddenly someone from Feng Ziying came to call him. It turned out that Lin Luan went to the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division to report to the official, saying that a little maid she had recently bought died on the street.
A few days ago, Lin Luan preached to people that the smallpox recipe belonged to Jia Cong, Feng Ziying asked people to ask why, she only said that it was the third master Cong who saved her sister from the palace, and she was happy for him in her heart. Feng Ziying didn't believe it, but ordered people not to startle the snake, and secretly stayed at her house for a while.
This morning, she sent a maid to buy something, and Feng Ziying's people saw that the maid was probing her brain after going out, so she followed one up. The maid did not go to the market, but hired a carriage to go to an alley in the north of the city called Sesame Lane, and quietly hid at the entrance of the alley and waited. After a while, a very ordinary green cloth carriage came, and a young woman dressed in ordinary cloth clothes came down from it. Feng Ziying's spies said, the woman was dressed as beautiful as a peony flower, rare in the world, with dignified manners and good manners, obviously not an ordinary woman. The woman entered the alley alone, and Lin Luan's maid secretly followed her, and the spy secretly followed the maid. The woman entered a Wang's noodle shop, the maid dodged and waited on the left, and the spy dodged and waited farther away. After half an hour, the woman came out of the noodle shop and walked back to the alley and got into the car. The maid sent the car away, and hired a car to go to Rongguo's mansion. Outside the back door, under a big locust tree, there was a stick of incense, and a kind mother-in-law came out of it, and she talked to her for a long time before going back. After leaving the woman, the maid hired a car to go to the market to buy things, and finally returned to Lin Luan's yard with the things. When he was about to walk to the intersection, he suddenly had a heartache, and he fell to the ground and lost his breath after a while. Lin Luan got a report from the neighborhood and rushed out to take a look, only to think that she had died strangely, so he went to the government to report the case.
Because the spy was alone, he only followed the maid, not the carriage, and did not find out who the beautiful woman was. Luckily, I know where the noodle shop is. Feng Ziying sent someone to check on the noodle restaurant again, everything else was ordinary, except for one thing that was not quite right - the proprietress was extremely beautiful. Beauty is not common, plus Lin Luan and her grinding mirror, four beauties collided in one place. Feng Ziying suspected that there was something to be done here, and wanted Jia Cong to help the woman in Zha Rongguo's mansion, so she told him about it.
Jia Cong suddenly felt that his head was as big as a fight, and he scolded Shi Li half to death in his heart. I don't know what I'm busy with, and I'm going to make trouble with Lin Luan. He hurriedly asked the spy what the woman looked like, and he hurried back to ask someone. Back in the house, Jia Cong seriously called the steward to come and ask him to check people.
The steward went down and walked around for a while, then led a man back and said, "According to what the master said, the villain sounds like the golden woman in the courtyard of the third master." This woman usually only does some idle work of cleaning the courtyard and pruning flowers and trees, and she is all shouting; I can't find anyone in the four corners today. I heard from the mother-in-law of their class that her eldest son had called her in the morning, and she went out for a while and then went back to the yard; After lunch, there was no one again. The villain called her eldest son to come. ”
Jia Cong had already guessed in his heart that the mother-in-law was the golden mother-in-law, and the Empress Dowager asked someone to buy it in Rongguo Mansion. Because the Empress Dowager has made them almost trapped, she has not touched this woman for the time being. This man must have been Jin Da, who loved to gamble, and asked, "Who came to look for your mother in the morning?" ”
Jin Da was not clever when he saw it, so he was frightened, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The slave doesn't know. The slave told the slave last night that there was something important for the maid to come to her today, and let the slave go to the back door to guard. When he saw a little girl in green clothes and a yellow turban standing under the big locust tree outside the back door, he hurriedly called her out. The servant did as she was told. The other minions don't know either. ”
Jia Cong was not good at interrogation, so he asked about the appearance of the maid and threw it to Chen Ruijin, and ordered someone to look for Mrs. Jin. After a while, someone rushed to report that he was looking for Jin Pozi in the well, and he had been dead for a long time. It's not fun. Jia Cong hurriedly pulled the horse to find Feng Ziying, and told Chen Ruijin to quietly go to Wang's noodle restaurant, and then go to Jiang's house to ask if the beautiful woman was Xue Baochai.
Feng Ziying was slightly shocked when she heard this: "Dead? ”
Jia Cong nodded: "I blinked and killed two, I'm afraid I have to go and see the widow." ”
Feng Ziying smiled bitterly: "There are more than two. My men have been exploring Sesame Lane for a while, and the widow's man has died abruptly, and has been implicated in another one who has been killed and one who is missing. ”
"Huh?"
Feng Ziying shook her head and said, "I knew that the matter was not over that day, and it was inconvenient to check." He snapped his fingers and nodded, "The shopkeeper of the hidden phoenix, the owner of the noodle restaurant, Lin Luan's little maid, and your mother-in-law." ”
Jia Cong suddenly shuddered: "The people from the Hidden Phoenix House came to our house to harass us on the eve of Brother Huan's marriage with the princess, and the sudden death of the shopkeeper in the first place was on the day after the two of them got married. This mother-in-law of our family served in the courtyard of Brother Huan, who was in charge of cleaning the courtyard and pruning flowers and trees. Damn...... Did the princess offend people or did Brother Huan offend people? Both of them haven't been back for almost two months on their honeymoon. ”
Feng Ziying's eyes moved: "Do the two of them have any news back?" ”
"Yes." Jia Cong said, "A few days ago, I got a letter, and the two of them visited the Buddha statues in the grottoes in Luoyang, and wrote a few broken poems. ”
Feng Ziying stood up and walked a few steps: "Although I don't know what it is, this matter is obviously aimed at the two of them." The death of the shopkeeper in front of the hidden phoenix must have been unexpected. He turned and nodded at Jia Cong, "Your eccentric nature." Jia Cong pouted. The owner of the noodle restaurant was killed, I am afraid that it is because his mouth is not covered. The little maid and mother-in-law were killed, and they must be followed by my people, so that the people behind the scenes will find out. ”
Jia Cong touched the back of his head: "That little maid was newly bought by Lin Luan, it may have been sent by someone, or it may have been bought temporarily." Lin Luan probably didn't have any problems, otherwise why would she report the case. ”
Feng Ziying said: "Let someone carefully inspect Huan'er's yard first, but there is nothing inappropriate." ”
Jia Cong said: "No! Our house is quite tight. Feng Ziying glared at him, and Jia Cong said twice, "Yes, yes, I'll check when I go back." After a while, he added, "Why don't you help us check?" ”
Feng Ziying thought for a while: "It's okay, I'll make someone investigate, it's more thorough than yours." ”
Jia Cong said: "Do you want to check the hidden phoenix residence?" Why do the old and new shopkeepers have a relationship with the same noodle shop owner? ”
Feng Ziying said: "I don't know the one who died, but now this one surnamed Ma is an eight-sided exquisite." I'll go find out again tomorrow. Jia Cong agreed, and the two talked for a while, and he went back to the house.
I never thought that Jia Cong would come back before dinner, with a strange face and frowning. Feng Ziying was sitting and thinking about things, wanting to straighten out the case; Seeing him, he hurriedly asked, "What are you doing when you come back?" ”
Jia Cong sat down opposite him and said, "You don't need to check on the beautiful woman in the carriage." ”
"You know?"
"She just came to our house to look for me." Jia Cong said, "It's the sister-in-law of the Jiang family." ”
"Who?"
"Xue Pan's sister-in-law."
Feng Ziying was taken aback: "It's her?" ”
Jia Cong nodded and said, "If you ask me about something, you have to hide it from Brother Xue." A few days ago, Brother Xue went to the noodle restaurant, as if he had fallen in love with the beautiful widow. ”
Feng Ziying stayed for a long time: "No! He has been with Liu for so many years, and he has never even seen him touch his head. ”
Jia Cong sighed: "That's why Senior Sister Xue has a headache." Didn't her son pass by? A widow is also a woman...... If she gives birth to a boy and a girl, what is her son? Therefore she went to the widow to talk to her about the deal, and gave her three thousand taels of silver, so that she could leave the capital. The widow refused, but said that she was innocent. It's going to be stiff. ”
Feng Ziying frowned and said, "Xue Pan's sister went to see the widow, how could Lin Luan's maid know?" ”
Jia Cong spread his hands: "God knows! I asked her when she decided to go, and she said she had been prepared yesterday and would go now. I'm afraid that someone in the Jiang family also let the people behind the scenes buy it. Besides, even if Brother Xue falls in love with a widow, what does it have to do with our family? How did that golden woman get involved? ”
Feng Ziying said: "No matter what, Ming'er will check Huan'er's yard first." After a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't believe that Xue Da Fool will look down on others." How many years have passed, what kind of beauty he hasn't seen. Could it be that her sister is mistaken? ”
Jia Cong held his cheeks and said, "Why don't we ask?" I still like Liu Aiyun. Hey, what's going on? Thanks to me, I have always been a seed of infatuation when Xue Pan is a seed of infatuation. ”
Feng Ziying knocked on the table: "Ming'er go over." ”
Jia Cong nodded on the slap: "If I didn't already have a sweetheart, I wouldn't believe in love again." Feng Ziying poked him on the head.
As everyone knows, the Xue family is also lively at this time. Xue Pan sat on the main seat with his cheeks puffed out, and said, "I don't agree." Sitting next to him were Liu Aiyun and Xue Baochai and Jiang Zirong.
Baochai smiled bitterly: "Isn't this impossible?" My sister-in-law doesn't mind anymore. ”
Liu Aiyun sat upright: "I mind." ”
Xue Pan glanced at his sister-in-law: "Did you hear that?" Your sister-in-law minds. ”
Baochai persuaded: "Miss Jiang was originally doing a secret deal for the Empress Dowager. If she is dragged to Lord Feng, wouldn't the Empress Dowager's deal be difficult to do? ”
Xue Pan said: "The title of the first knighthood is useless this year. If you and your mother have to buy it, I won't stop you, but I just bought a set of noodles for the two of you. Now that they are involved in all this chaos, four or five people have been wiped out for no reason, why bother to get involved in this? Our family has constant business dealings with Rongguo Mansion, Ping'an Prefecture, and various princes, what do you want to do with the title? You see, how many of those Gongmen Hou mansions can still live a good life? ”
Baochai said: "Buying a knighthood is not like buying a face. Didn't you see that Rongguo Mansion also bought it? In addition to looking better on his face, after all, he showed his loyalty to the court. ”
Liu Aiyun asked, "Which imperial court?" ”
Xue Pan immediately followed: "Which court?" The Empress Dowager's idea is not as good as an ordinary prince. ”
Baochai said slowly: "Situ Clan." Nai glanced at her brother and sister-in-law, "Our family is already rich." Because he is related to the uncle of Rongguo Mansion and Liangguang, King Yan will not move us. If it weren't for these two, would we still be able to hold such a big industry? It's just a change of way to send a few dollars to the Situ family. ”
Liu Aiyun said: "Auntie, your brother does not disapprove of you buying a knight, but he does not approve of you hiding the use of that noodle restaurant for the empress dowager." Now that King Yan is powerful, the Empress Dowager is just a false shelf. If he gets the true faith from elsewhere, how can our family explain to King Yan? ”
Baochai said: "The first time that noodle restaurant talked about the knighthood business was to talk to us, and no one had talked about it before." She glanced back at her husband.
Jiang Zirong was originally pretending to be out of the world, but this time he had to speak: "That Jiang girl only said that she had covered it up this time." ”
Xue Pan pointed to his nose and said, "Where can I lie!" ”
Baochai stumbled and said, "Isn't it okay for you to just say that you made her lose her eyes for a while?" ”
Xue Pan stiffened his neck and said, "She doesn't look like that, why am I blind?" It's not as good-looking as Oi-yun. Then I heard someone laugh "fluttering".
Xue Baochai hurriedly turned his head and said, "Sister Chen, don't just laugh, but also help persuade twice." ”
Chen Ruijin sat in the guest seat, and said with a smile: "It is not difficult to complete this matter, and the Xue family does not need to worry." You just said that Mrs. Jiang misunderstood. ”
Xue Pan clapped his hands and said, "I love to listen to Sister Chen's words." What widow have I been? They were the ones who framed me. Xue Baochai shook his head again.
Chen Ruijin said: "Now it is obvious that the noodle shop is not only selling noodles, but must have done some improper business. Xue Dadong's family just told Master Feng, you were going to discuss business with the widow, but Mrs. Jiang misunderstood and made a joke. ”
Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "In this case, why did Sister Chen let me pretend to go to Rongguo Mansion and let Brother Cong talk nonsense with Lord Feng?" ”
Chen Ruijin said: "Although Mrs. Jiang is in charge of many businesses of the Xue family, she is a woman after all. Mrs. Jiang, since most men in the world look down on women, why not let them underestimate a little? Lord Feng only thinks that you are a woman in the back house with a little ability, and it is very beneficial to the Xue family. ”
Xue Baochai felt a little unhappy in his heart, sat down for a while and said, "What is the origin of the maid who is staring at me?" ”
Chen Ruijin said: "Jia Cong will check with Lord Feng." ”
"You don't know yet?"
"I don't know." Chen Ruijin sighed, "If you know, it would be easy to do." "Now seeing that everything can barely be covered up, it is really a great crisis for Jia Cong. Over the years, he has used Situ Pan, the Empress Dowager and the two Liu families to carry ghosts, and hide three pieces and two pieces of dew everywhere. If there is any leak of information, or if two parties can be put together in one place to carefully check his words and deeds, the goods will be exposed. "Miss Jiang, don't worry about her being unrounded. The noodle restaurant was originally engaged in a dark business, so that the official family knew about it? I'm afraid I'm going to close the door and leave. Where and what kind of business to open next time is still two words. ”
Xue Pan asked: "What do Sister Chen and Miss Jiang mean, Ming'er coaxed Feng Ziying to say that what kind of business is that noodle restaurant really doing?" ”
Chen Ruijin smiled slightly: "Smuggling Western firearms." ”
