According to the custom of Rongguo Mansion, newlyweds can go on a honeymoon. Jia Huan's martial arts are mediocre, and Princess Jian'an is a weak woman, so they have to take a group of dart masters with them. Therefore, the affairs of the Empress Dowager and the Hidden Phoenix Residence are naturally out of control.

Jia Cong and Shi Li are not groom officials, and the two sit face to face in Lixiangyuan drinking tea. Jia Cong glanced at Shi Li, which meant that he made a quick move. Shi Li coughed and said, "The plan has changed, thank you to that Lin Luan." ”

No one is short of money. Shi Li's people managed to leak the matter of Yinfengju being a stolen shop to a greedy Qingke under the prince, and that person really planned to find this property for the prince. Shi Li originally wanted to use their hands to force the hidden phoenix to live, so as to startle the snake and see if they could act. I don't want to drop a Lin Luan out of thin air.

Two days after Aunt Liu Yunxi arrived at Lixiang Courtyard, a mother-in-law took the opportunity to help someone deliver things to test Lin Luan. Lin Luan knew in her heart that she was the empress dowager if she couldn't keep it, so she pretended not to know what she meant. Jia Cong said that the affairs of the Empress Dowager were in the hands of Uncle Shi, and Lin Luan took advantage of Shi Lilai's mansion to sue him about the matter.

Shi Li checked, it turned out that this mother-in-law's surname was Jin, and she used to serve by Jia's mother's side, and after Jia's mother died, she stayed in the courtyard to do some idle work of cleaning the courtyard and pruning flowers and trees. There are two sons in the family, the eldest only keeps vigil at the West Point Gate, and it is best to gamble; The second child followed Jia Zheng's side and was clever. This boss is a subordinate and does not have much money, so he has never gambled much; Recently, I don't know who hooked up with someone to gamble big. first lost so much that he almost lost his life, and then suddenly he won for several days in a row, not only recovering the original, but also winning a lot of money. Shi Li smiled indifferently, this Jin boss obviously made people play a trick, so that he could hold the golden woman. He ordered Lin Luan to stabilize this golden woman for the time being.

The next day, Lin Luan pretended to be curious and went to the courtyard of the first Jia Mu to have a look. At that time, the courtyard had been cleaned up for Jia Huan and Princess Jian'an. Mrs. Jin took advantage of the unpreparedness to make a secret statement to Lin Luan, and this time she made it clearer. Lin Luan was shocked, quietly took out the token from his sleeve and pinched it in his hand, and hesitated for a long time before giving her a look.

Mrs. Jin took it over and looked at it carefully for a long time, and smiled widely: "Sure enough, it's Aunt Lin." He said in a low voice, "The Empress Dowager asked Aunt Liu what was going on." ”

Lin Luan also said in a low voice: "That day, I told Third Master Cong that I missed Sister Yunxi very much. I never thought that he would bring Sister Yunxi back the next day! I don't know why. ”

Mrs. Jin was overjoyed: "In this way, Third Master Cong values Aunt Lin very much?" ”

Lin Luan said: "I have healed Lord Su, and the two third masters are grateful to me." ”

Mrs. Jin nodded: "Aunt Lin, what else is there to sue sù?" Lin Luan then followed Shi Li's words and said, "Liu Hu has the heart to learn from a person named Zhou Xiaolan to go abroad to be the lord of the country". Mrs. Jin didn't know who Liu Hu and Zhou Xiaolan were, so she only wrote down her words and left. The informant of Jin Pozi was an old beggar, and the other end of the old beggar was the house of the eunuch's nephew not far from the Forbidden City.

Two days later, Mrs. Jin came to Lin Luan again and said, "The Empress Dowager said that you have worked hard. Thanks to you, I can know that Liu Hu has really betrayed. Now I want you to visit a person named Liu Xianglian. ”

Lin Luan answered, turned his head and told Shi Li again. Shi Li said: "You tell her that Liu Xianglian was a dart master in the Taiping Dart Bureau earlier, and then she went to do business by herself." It's just that for some reason, the two third masters of the Jia family don't trust him very much, but the others in the dart game believe in him very much. He still says he is a good friend to the outside world. By the way, Jia Lian is good friends with him. Lin Luan said the next day according to his words and Mrs. Jin.

Mrs. Jin later told Lin Luan: "Aunt Lin remembers this one named Liu Xianglian, pay attention to him." The Empress Dowager guessed that he was the Prince of Xianyizhong, Yu Dang, and at first he was afraid that he would be a spy when he entered the Taiping Dart Bureau, but then he thought that he had missed something without paying attention, so he had to leave. A few days ago, the Empress Dowager had an excellent plan, which was already done; I don't know how to leak the news, so that this Liu Xianglian's daughter-in-law is broken. Lin Luan nodded again and again. She relayed it to Shi Li, and Shi Li smiled and clapped twice. The Empress Dowager thought that she had poisoned Princess Jian'an, but she let Qin Keqing relieve her. The difference is a millimeter, and the error is a thousand miles. If there is still someone surnamed Liu in the palace, it will inevitably be suspicious.

Two days before Jia Huan got married, an old woman sneaked into the hidden phoenix residence. She had the courage to find the big shopkeeper, and she looked at her for a long time and said a lot of strange things. The big shopkeeper was suspicious in his heart: this man obviously could not be a spy, and he did not let such a raw hand out to find death. It's just that he didn't dare to kick her out, for fear that something would really happen, so he made a look and asked her to go back with him.

The old woman looked around and saw that there was no one else, so she carefully took out a purse from her bosom, and took out a thing wrapped in a handkerchief from the purse, and the handkerchief was still wrapped with silk thread wrapped around it. The shopkeeper watched with bated breath as she had spent a long time untying the silk thread and opening the veil - inside was another handkerchief, and another ball of silk thread was wrapped around it. The old woman untied the three layers of silk threads and handkerchiefs, and finally revealed the bronze medal of the hidden phoenix dwelling wrapped inside.

The big shopkeeper nodded and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The old woman's voice trembled slightly: "I am Uncle Ma's nurse." Uncle Ma is now in the prince's mansion and ordered me to report the news. ”

The big shopkeeper suddenly said: Presumably, this "Uncle Ma" is his own person, and it is inconvenient to get out for some reason, so he asked the nurse to come forward. He asked, "What did Uncle Ma say?" ”

The old woman hurriedly said: "The prince has taken a fancy to the hidden phoenix residence, and he is plotting with a group of people below to occupy it." Our uncle has an idea of 'fox fake tiger might', let me talk about it with the big shopkeeper. The big shopkeeper asked what the plan was, and she smiled, "Didn't King Yan have a house in Lychee Lane, where Princess Jian'an lives now?" I know an old sister over there. The old woman lowered her voice and said, "Our uncle said that the prince of Hengzhu still can't figure out who the hidden phoenix residence is, so it is better to borrow the dowry of Princess Jian'an to enter the Rongguo Mansion, and lure the prince to mistakenly think that this shop belongs to King Yan, so he will not dare to act rashly." ”

The big shopkeeper pondered for a moment and asked, "How to tempt him?" ”

The old woman then talked about Uncle Ma's plan and said, "Our uncle said that we have to bother the big shopkeeper to try to hint at Jia Cong of Rongguo Mansion first. This person doesn't like to cause trouble the most, so naturally he won't go to King Yan for verification. Jia Cong said that he was with the son, and the son did not dare to ask him for verification. Even if there is a mistake, it can muddy the waters, delay the time, and come up with other ideas if you can't keep it together? ”

The shopkeeper felt that this plan was extremely ill-conceived. It's just that the son of the world is eyeing others who are not as good as others, but he is willing to give it a try. It's a shame that Aunt Lin Luan is about to enter the house, and she also knows the old beggar who contacted her.

The next day, Mrs. Jin slipped to Lixiangyuan to find Lin Luan, saying that she had made her pretend to leak her mouth, and accused Jia Cong of the hidden phoenix residence because King Yan and the Empress Dowager colluded and stole the things in the palace. Lin Luan naturally responded.

On the day Princess Jian'an got married, the "Uncle Ma" pretended to be a guest and went to the hermitage to live in seclusion. This person's name is Ma Sili, thirty-seven or eighteen years old, born with dignity and elegance, and he is amiable to see. He was originally a Confucian who failed to make the list, but because of the disaster in his family, he came to the capital to seek refuge with his cousin.

His cousin's surname is Luo, and he is a staff member under King Yan, and has a secret personal relationship with King Yan's third son. Coincidentally, two years ago, his cousin Mr. Luo and the mute beauty Ma who was dedicated to the Third Highness happened to be surnamed Ma, and now he is extremely favored. Ma heard that Mr. Luo's cousin's surname was Ma, and for Mr. Xie Luo's kindness in taking care of her in his early years, he asked if he could recognize Ma Sili and recommend him in front of His Royal Highness. Mr. Luo pondered: "My cousin is bold and careful, and no one knows what I have to do with him. I thought about letting him go to the world first. Ma's eyes lit up. In this way, Mr. Luo asked someone to recommend Ma Sili to the prince.

It's just that there are a lot of people under the world, and Ma Sili is not very ambitious. The year before last, he was drunk in a tavern and recited a poem, so that the Empress Dowager heard it alone, so she pulled him into the gang. Later, I learned that this person's uncle was originally an important eunuch next to the Empress Dowager, and now he still lives near the palace.

The chief shopkeeper of the Hidden Phoenix House heard that Ma Sili and King Yan's two sons were involved, so he stroked his palm and said, "Mr. Ma can be worth several people. ”

Ma Sili humbly arched his hand, and explained to him in detail how to act today, and said firmly: "The shopkeeper can rest assured." Zhao Cheng of the Five Cities Terracotta Division was as timid as a mouse, and he didn't dare to provoke the powerful, and he was said to be the King of Yan. Jia Cong of Rongguo Mansion doesn't like to cause trouble the most, and he can flash when he can. With the two of them, this plan will be successful. ”

The big shopkeeper also hurriedly handed over his hand: "Borrow Mr. Ji's words." And he did as he was told.

It was a coincidence. On the day of Princess Jian'an's wedding, there was a house not far from the Forbidden City that made the first eunuch of the Yan Wang family look at it. It is said that Feng Shui is excellent and extremely prosperous. The eunuch couldn't help but say, gave some silver, and blasted away the nephew of the original owner of the house and the eunuch of a certain large eunuch in the forefront. The man refused, and was beaten to death by the evil slave. Such a trivial matter, there is not even a bitter master, no one reported the case at all, and Zhao Cheng naturally didn't know.

Although the Forbidden City was not as heavily guarded as in the early years, King Yan's soldiers were not vegetarians. When the hermit phoenix ascended, he cut off contact with the palace. The next day, Ma Sili came to the Hidden Phoenix Residence again, and asked anxiously, but what happened in the palace? The big shopkeeper only found out about this last night, and he was also confused. Ma Sili also knew that the boss of the noodle shop in the north of the city, the informant asked him not to contact him unless he had to, so he had never been there before. Since the beating made the people of the Shizi Mansion target, Yin Fengju has never contacted Boss Wang again. It's just that this matter is too big, and their upline is the nephew of the eunuch, and it has reached the point of "last resort", so they have to go over to discuss it together. Then he left the hermit phoenix residence one after another, and the big shopkeeper got rid of the tracking and changed his outfit, and the two went to the noodle restaurant together.

Although Boss Wang has some kung fu to fly the eaves and walk the wall, he can't enter and leave the palace at will, and he is also at a loss. Because they are in a hurry to gather now, and there are other things outside one after another, they have not made clear the origin of each of them. It's just that according to Ma Sili's expression and the meaning of his words, Boss Wang and the others thought that he was a person who lived in seclusion. Bisheng had just said a few words about the eunuch's nephew in a panic, and two noodle-eating guests came outside, and Boss Wang had to go out to Zhang Luo. There were a succession of guests coming one after another, and they were all passing by. The big shopkeeper and Ma Sili were so frightened that they didn't dare to stay longer, and before they had time to discuss anything important, they each sneaked away through the back door.

In the afternoon of the same day, the big shopkeeper went out to run errands and was startled and died on the street. The boss of the noodle restaurant Wang learned from the idlers on the street that he didn't want to be suspicious, so he rushed to the hidden phoenix house to investigate on the second watch that night. Ma Sili rushed over as soon as it was dark. Because he has a good bearing and speaks reasonably, the people in the shop can't help but listen to him, and this son is in charge. When I saw Boss Wang, I was overjoyed: "There is someone to discuss!" "How can it be so coincidental that he is a two-in-one? For two days in a row, two of their important people died. There will be a mole! So he decided to take the funeral for the big shopkeeper to temporarily close the Yinfeng Residence for a while, and then talk about it.

The things in this Ma Sili placement shop are neat and orderly, and Boss Wang appreciates his talent. Because he listened to the words of the guys in the tent, Ma Sili usually didn't work in the shop, so he asked him what he was doing. Ma Sili then told his origins, but changed his upline from the eunuch nephew who sued the big shopkeeper a few days ago to the big shopkeeper. sighed: "He was originally ordered to go to the prince's mansion, but he didn't have the eyes of the prince, and we couldn't say anything if we let him stare at him." ”

Boss Wang was relieved: "It has nothing to do with you. You don't know them. Whatever they want, they can reach into the pan. "I was secretly happy. This guy pulls well! He is also working under the prince, and he is the cousin of Mr. Luo, a staff member of King Yan, and Mr. Luo is also good friends with the third child. If used well, it is a wonderful chess piece for the Queen Mother. What's more, he is really talented.

Ma Sili was silent for a moment and said: "There is a person surnamed Feng in the Shizi Mansion, who was originally Feng Tang's nephew. Feng Ziying didn't want him to follow the prince to do things, and she didn't like to see him; However, the prince of the world attaches great importance to this person. A few days ago, Zhao Cheng of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division suspected that our shop belonged to King Yan and did not dare to act rashly. It was this Mr. Feng who went to find Feng Ziying's side and knocked on the side, and after a long time, he came back to tell Sù Shizi that the shop was not King Yan's. ”

Boss Wang asked: "Speaking of which, the night before yesterday, the people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division went to Rongguo Mansion, do you know what happened?" ”

Ma Sili told him about the "fox and fake tiger might" plan of the hermitage in the past few days, but he didn't say that he came out of it, let alone mention that the old woman was his nursing mother. Boss Wang naturally thought it was the idea of the big shopkeeper who had just died, and frowned: "It's too abrupt to have a well-thought-out plan." Ma Sili smiled bitterly, and Boss Wang thought that he didn't approve of this plan, and the big shopkeeper was the boss and he was a subordinate, so he couldn't help it, so he patted him on the shoulder with relief. He asked how it had been.

Ma Sili said with a smile: "Later, even Feng Ziying was alarmed. I don't know what that Aunt Lin said to Jia Cong, but Jia Cong helped us fool Shizi, Feng Ziying, and Zhao Cheng. ”

Boss Wang said happily: "So it seems that Aunt Lin has won Jia Cong's trust? ”

Ma Sili squeezed his eyebrows and said, "I asked the people who followed them in the Shizi Mansion yesterday, as if they were more than trusting. ”

Boss Wang high-fived and said: "There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!" "I feel a little better. Seeing that Ma Sili was reliable, and he couldn't stay for a long time, he encouraged everyone a few words, and ordered them to listen to Ma Sili. These people in Yinfengju know that his identity is only higher than that of his own big shopkeeper, so they should all go down. Boss Wang then quietly left.
