The emperor nodded when he heard this, but he knew Chen Ke's old illness and knew that Chen Qin was filial, so he believed it a little more. He frowned and said, "I remember that Qin Shan seemed to have been bought by the Luguo Mansion to grow tea ten years ago. ”

The emperor's face was a little bad, Chen Ke could hear it when he heard the voice, so he said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, yes." ”

The emperor thought about the case for a while, and asked with a calm expression: "Your hometown is in Qinshan, is it suitable for growing tea?" ”

When the Luguo Mansion wanted to buy Qinshan, the emperor knew about it, but he didn't take it seriously. It's normal for people like them to buy one or two mountains to make other courtyards or something, so it's not worth thinking about, and now it seems that the Luguo Mansion has been premeditated.

Chen Ke didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he had to say truthfully: "Back to the emperor, Qinshan is windy and sandy in the morning and evening, and it is indeed a little reluctant to grow tea." ”

The emperor's eyes darkened when he heard this, thinking about Dasheng's economic situation in the past few years, and after thinking about it, he met a lot. It's even worse to look at it.

"Please enter the palace Zhou Xiang." It's a big deal, and it can't just be done.

"Yes." Chen Kexing bowed and went to Zhou Xiangfu in person.

"Ning Jing."

"The minister is here." Ning Jing, who was secretly revealed, knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Go to Qinshan to find out about this matter." The emperor said coldly, if the Duke of Ruolu is really so yang and yin...... Thinking about it, the emperor crushed the teacup in his hand.

"Yes."

Qin Shan can go back and forth in more than half a month according to the steps of the secret guard, and one month is enough to remove the time for investigation.

It was a coincidence that Ning Jing went. The new batch of gold nuggets ingots in the underground furnace built by the Luguo Mansion in Qinshan had just been released, and the people of Li Yueguo happened to pretend to be merchants to inspect the goods, and Li Zhong, the housekeeper of the Luguo Mansion who was trusted by Li Qian, also arrived at the scene. Every transaction is recorded by both parties, just in case, it is naturally close to you. And the outside of the ledger is covered with phosphorus powder, and then wrapped in a cowhide, even if someone else steals the ledger and opens it for the first time, it will inevitably spontaneously combust without water, and the ledger will be destroyed, without evidence, no one is afraid of the Luguo Mansion.

Ning Jing knew the importance of this matter. And he came with someone himself.

The Luguo Mansion and Li Yueguo have been communicating with each other for ten years, and their vigilance is low, not to mention that Ning Jing is a master of secret investigation. The other party was defenseless, so it was naturally easy to find out.

On the one hand, he sent people to follow Li Yueguo's people to find out how they flowed the gold into the market, and on the other hand, he found out whether this was Li Yueguo's personal behavior or the royal family was also involved, and he tried his best to swap the account books. This is almost the time, Li Zhong returned to Hejing in one step.

This qiē is going on in secret. As Zhou Chuan expected, Zhang Tong did not dare to tell him about letting Chen Qin go, but hid it with others, and the most important thing is that Zhang Tong has been thinking of a way to leave since that day, and recently finally got his wish, on the same day that Ning Jing returned to the palace, Zhang Tong came to the capital and knocked on the door of Chen's mansion.

Ning Jing stood and told all the information he had investigated. Finally, he took out the ledger wrapped in brown paper from his bosom and held it in both hands.

"Your Majesty, please take a look. This is the account book of all the transactions between Li Qian and Li Yueguo, which is sprinkled with phosphorus powder, and as long as the kraft paper is opened, it will spontaneously combust. Your Majesty, please let someone come in with a basin of water. ”

The emperor waved his hand and motioned for the chamberlain to do it, and after a while, someone came in with a basin of water.

Ning Jing motioned for the chamberlain to put the water on the coffee table, he walked over three or five times, uncovered the brown paper and threw the ledger into the water, his strength was very strong, the ledger tilted down, and was immediately covered by the water, and it floated after a few seconds.

Ning Jing picked up the account book, took the handkerchief handed by the waiter and wiped the account book back and forth, and after confirming that there was no phosphorus powder, he handed it to the waiter and presented it.

Since Ning Jing said that the emperor has been gloomy, although he has not thrown things angrily, his anger this time is obviously even stricter than throwing things!

The emperor took the account book but didn't look at it, but still frowned on the table and said, "How is the prince doing?" ”

Moving the Luguo Mansion is equivalent to going to the prince's last arm, and the emperor is very reluctant to do so. But the Luguo Mansion was so bold and reckless, the emperor was afraid that he would really not be able to tolerate them after reading the account book!

Ning Jing bowed his head and saluted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is well." "There is no illness or disaster, although the relationship with the crown princess is getting worse and worse, but getting along with the person called Shi Xiang is better than husband and wife.

The emperor just asked, Meng Chenjing would write every half a month, telling him what he had seen and heard in Chenzhou, or what he had done recently, to be honest, the emperor was very pleased to see it, but these indisputable things behind Meng Chenjing made the emperor want to peel his skin and cramp!

The Emperor waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stand down, and he wanted to be alone.

Everyone cautiously retreated, and the emperor was the only one left in the splendid hall.

"Ning Jing is back." After Meng Chenyu got the news, he came to King An's Mansion, and the first thing he said when he saw Meng Shaoguang was this.

Meng Shaoguang raised his eyes and glanced at him undisturbed, obviously knowing it a long time ago.

"Are you wondering why Meng Yan hasn't moved yet?" Meng Shaoguang could imagine that if Meng Yan wanted to punish the Luguo Mansion, then he shouldn't be so quiet now, so Meng Chenyu would rush over so quickly.

Fortunately, Wu Chen is not here today, so he will hand over some things to Cheng Changke, otherwise he will have to stare at Meng Chenyu again.

Meng Chenyu sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, looked at Meng Shaoguang and said: "Yes, you also know that the whole person of the father and the emperor is that today he just sent everyone in Qin Huadian away, and he didn't even drop anything, I can't guarantee what he thinks, but he is just staying alone now, he must be estimating the prince, and I am afraid that the prince will not be able to take power after the Duke of Lu Guo is gone." ”

If that's the case, then wouldn't what they had done together be in vain? If Lu Guogong is still there, it is impossible to force the prince to go to the last step, so the next plan will be difficult to implement.

Meng Shaoguang looked at him and smiled, signaled him not to worry, and said slowly: "Ning Jing has already brought the account books back, I guess." Meng Yan must not have seen it yet. ”

If you look at him, it is impossible to have the reason to think about that, how much gold can be produced in ten years from a gold mine. How many years can be enough for the expenses of the palace, how many troops can be raised, etc., etc., Meng Yan knows these in his heart, but when he doesn't see the real thing, he can still convince himself to think about it more, but once the account book is revealed. It's all different.

What's more, Ning Jing also sent someone to Li Yueguo.

Li Yueguo is a small country to the west of Dasheng and has always been attached to Dasheng. Tribute every year. Now such a small country is uniting Dasheng's humerus to deceive Dasheng's emperor, this matter is found out, if Meng Yan can still be calm, Meng Shaoguang will be impressed by him.

"And Zhang Tong came to the capital. Now I'm afraid I'm already in the Chen Mansion. ”

Meng Chenyu looked at Meng Shaoguang and listened carefully. Seeing that she stopped, he didn't urge, but his eyes were a little anxious.

"Now that there are human and material evidence, there is only one opportunity for Meng Yan to break out."

"The young general is talking about the people sent by Ning Jing to Li Yueguo?" Meng Chenyu is not stupid, naturally he also guessed this link, now that the Luguo Mansion and Meng Chenjing are in the dark, it is not up to them to decide how to operate this matter, not to mention that this matter is true, they just restore the facts.

Meng Shaoguang nodded. As long as the matter of Li Yueguo breaks out, no one can save the Luguo Mansion.

Meng Chenjing has been a little uneasy recently. It always feels like something is going to happen. But a few days ago, he communicated with the Luguo Mansion and the empress, and nothing important happened, but he was still a little uneasy for some reason.

"Junze, what are you thinking?" Shi Xiang appeared beside Meng Chenjing wearing a thick cloak, and her eyes were smiling into a crescent moon.

Meng Chenjing felt happy after seeing Shi Xiang's smile like this, he liked to see Shi Xiang smile like this the most, as if any haze could be covered by such a smiling face.

"It's nothing, Xiang'er came out like this, it's cold outside." Meng Chenjing said and stretched out his hand to cover Shi Xiang's cold little hand, his face was full of tenderness.

The weather in September and a half is not cool, but in Chenzhou, it is already windy, and it is rare to see the sun.

Shi Xiang pouted and said aggrievedly: "Seeing that Jun Ze is not there, I will come out and look for it." ”

Meng Chenjing liked Shi Xiang's feeling of sticking to him so much, as if Shi Xiang was the only one in the world, and this feeling made him very satisfied.

"I only came out for a walk when Xiang'er was asleep, but I didn't expect Xiang'er to wake up so early." Meng Chenjing held Shi Xiang in his arms, wrapped her in his cloak, and whispered softly in her ear.

Shi Xiang was itchy by him, and after hiding a few times, he said happily: "Junze, let's go see Xiao Junze together, right?" ”

The corners of Meng Chenjing's mouth pulled down as soon as he heard this, the little Junze in Shi Xiang's mouth was the child of the crown princess Chen Yuruan, to be exact, it was his Meng Chenjing's child, but he was drugged by Chen Yuruan that night, and although he woke up the next day, although he was disgusted, he didn't take it to heart, who knew that half a month later, the news of Chen Yuruan's pregnancy came. Chen Yuruan can also be regarded as having the means, everyone in Chenzhou City knows about it, and he can't get rid of Chen Yuruan if he wants to.

And Shi Xiang, who had been awkward with him, eased his relationship with him because of this unexpected child, and Meng Chenjing did not kill Chen Yuruan.

"Xiang'er likes children so much, why don't you give birth to one yourself?" Meng Chenjing forcibly held back his anger at Chen Yuruan, and leaned into Shi Xiang's ear and said slowly.

Shi Xiang didn't dodge anymore, tilted his head as if thinking, and said after a while: "I don't want it." "Don't give birth to him and abandon him, so that he has no father and no mother and suffers all his life.

Meng Chenjing thought that Shi Xiang didn't want to give birth to a child because she felt that it was too painful, so she didn't pursue it much, and rubbed it in her ear and said, "Okay, okay, let's go back to Chuxiang Pavilion Xiang'er to dance for me, okay?" ”

Meng Chenjing really didn't want to see Chen Yuruan, but he couldn't bear Shi Xiang liking that child, even if he didn't like it anymore, he had to keep Chen Yuruan.

Shi Xiang turned her head to look at Meng Chenjing, and said a little aggrieved: "But I want to see Xiao Junze, and I haven't seen him for half a month." ”

Shi Xiang is probably still selfish in leaving this child, Meng Chenjing has already promised to die with her, and time is running out, so let's leave him a queen. It's true to say that she likes children, but when she was young, she thought about growing old with Meng Chenjing and giving him children, but now, she can only watch others do it.

Meng Chenjing couldn't resist Shi Xiang, so he had to take Shi Xiang to the place where Chen Yuruan lived.

The guards outside hurriedly saluted when they saw Meng Chenjing coming.

"What's going on in there?" It's no wonder that Meng Chenjing asked this, he knew that when Chen Yuruan was pregnant, he wanted to get rid of Chen Yuruan and the child together, but was stopped by Shi Xiang, Meng Chenjing had no choice but to put Shi Chen Yuruan under house arrest here, at first Chen Yuruan made trouble every day and threw things, Shi Xiang was almost injured by Chen Yuruan once when he came by himself, and Chen Yuruan's love was very unstable after a few days. It wasn't until the doctor came over and told Chen Yuruan not to be too excited, otherwise the child might not be able to be saved, and Chen Yuruan was honest.

It's just that every day he will send someone to find someone where Meng Chenjing lives, and ask him to go over to find something, which makes Meng Chenjing very annoyed, but Shi Xiang, as soon as he heard that Chen Yuruan was uncomfortable, he ran fast, so that Meng Chenjing had to follow, he was afraid that Shi Xiang would suffer, he detained Shi Xiang and didn't let her see Chen Yuruan for half a month, and the people sent by Chen Yuruan were sent back by him, and he also ordered the guards not to allow anyone to enter or leave, which can be regarded as honest, but I don't know if Chen Yuruan did anything in it during half a month.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, nothing happened." The guard replied truthfully.

Meng Chenjing frowned, obviously thinking that it was not right, but he couldn't say anything, so he gave up and walked in with Shi Xiang.

Chen Yuruan was embroidering on the soft couch in the room at this time, and when he saw Meng Chenjing coming, he immediately stood up in surprise, automatically ignored Shi Xiangfu beside Meng Chenjing, and said slowly: "The concubine participates in His Highness, His Highness is blessed." ”

Meng Chenjing waved her hand impatiently to signal that she didn't need to be polite, and then took Shi Xiang over and sat down.

Shi Xiang walked over and looked at Nephrite's slightly bulging belly, smiling with a look of surprise.

"Little Junze seems to have grown up again!"

Chen Yuruan has obviously adapted, facing Shi Xiang, who was favored by Meng Chenjing, she was not arrogant or impatient, reached out and stroked her bulging lower abdomen and said with a smile: "Yes, after all, it's been more than three months, it's time to show your pregnancy." Chen Yuruan's words were said lightly and skillfully, without any smugness, but they looked particularly proud in the ears of others.

"Would you like to touch my sister?"

Shi Xiang raised her eyes to look at Chen Yuruan, and asked cautiously, "Is it okay?" ”

Chen Yuruan looked at her and said lightly: "Of course you can, as a sister, you should take care of your sister, not to mention that my sister has heard that my sister is not in good health, and it is okay to have a good time with my sister." (To be continued.) )
