120. Investigation (one change)
Sheng Xue saw that when she returned home, she didn't see her father, so she couldn't help but ask. Ah Hua replied: "The lord has not come back yet, and in the morning the lord carried a good daughter red from the altar to the court." ”
"It seems that my father is looking for a friend from the past to catch up. For a while, my father won't be back. Ah Hua, you tell the meal. "This day's experience in the palace is like experiencing three days in the world, Sheng Xue only feels tired. When you get home, you can't get a good rest.
Ah Hua opened her mouth and said, "Miss, someone just came to deliver the letter, saying that it is necessary to let Miss see it herself." Sheng Xuejian took the letter from Ah Hua's hand and took a look, it turned out to be a letter from her uncle, and asked her to meet her in the teahouse. Ah Hua, I still have something to do, so I won't eat at home. After that, he turned his head and instructed the nurse: "Prepare the car and send me to the Hongmen Teahouse." ”
By the time Sheng Xue saw it, Bai Wuye had already prepared a large table to eat. Sheng Xue saw that she was only an eight-year-old child after all, and she was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, and she didn't care what her uncle thought of her, so she devoured it. Bai Wuye smiled: "Aman, you should eat slowly, I don't know if you think you are a demon reincarnated." ”
Sheng Xue took the time to glare at Bai Wuye, and continued to devote herself to the food. waited until Sheng Xue saw that he was full of wine and food, and then Bai Wuye asked: "I heard that the Queen Mother summoned you today, how about it, what did she say?" ”
The Queen Mother seemed to want to know what Concubine Lin did to the eldest princess back then. I revealed between my words that the death of the eldest princess is inextricably related to Concubine Lin, but Concubine Lin is the daughter-in-law of the Queen Mother, and the second prince is the grandson of the Queen Mother, so it is difficult to say whether she will treat Concubine Lin for the sake of a daughter who has been dead for a long time. ”
Bai Wuye nodded: "The Queen Mother can't believe it all, and we can't tell her everything we know." But the Queen Mother can take advantage of it. At present, although the Bai family has taken back most of the industry, but without the name of the Bai family, our business is much worse than before. I can't come forward in person, or I can save some money. ”
Listening to Bai Wuye's sigh. Sheng Xue suddenly thought of something: "In this case, we can intercede with the Queen Mother, uncle, you have been missing for so long, and it is not unusual for me to find you again." If there is a queen mother to protect you. If you come to the fore, the Prime Minister's Mansion can't do anything to you for the time being, right? ”
"No, if the truth can't be found out one day after the death of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I won't be able to show up for a day, otherwise the Queen Mother will have the heart to protect me. The prime minister still has a way to put me in prison. Bai Wuye reminded Sheng Xue in one sentence.
"Then let's start with the one who died in the Prime Minister's Mansion. My uncle had never killed anyone, so there must have been another reason for this man's death. As long as it is proved that he has nothing to do with his uncle, then what is the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion to frame his uncle? ”
"Aman, this is not an easy thing to do." Bai Wuye looked at Sheng Xue solemnly. Sheng Xue nodded seriously and said, "Aman knows that this is not an easy task. But everything is man-made, and the prime minister thinks that his uncle is dead, he must let down his vigilance, and now is the time for us to investigate the truth. ”
Coming out of the Hongmen Teahouse, Sheng Xue asked Hongmei to invite Shopkeeper Li to meet her in the Orchid Garden.
Shopkeeper Li listened to Hongmei's words and ran to the orchid garden in a hurry. Hongmei led him to the main hall. Bai Mei was studying ink at the table, and Sheng Xuejian was holding a thin pen and pondering on the snow-white rice paper.
"I wonder what's the matter with the young lady calling the little one?" Shopkeeper Li saluted, but he had some doubts in his heart. Sheng Xue looked up at Shopkeeper Li and asked, "How did you do with the 'sparrow' I asked you to cultivate earlier?" "The so-called 'Sparrow' organization is actually a kind of espionage organization.
As early as when Sheng Xue saw the establishment of the Moon-Chasing Casino, she knew that the Moon-Chasing Gambling Workshop would not last long, so she needed another form to play the role of the Moon-Chasing Gambling Workshop in collecting intelligence. This first way is the Feifeng Tower. This second way is called 'sparrow'. Some of the singer concubines who were raised in the gambling house before, like Liu'er, entered the home of Master Zhang of the Ministry of Industry and became concubines. And there are some that don't look good. has become a room girl for high-ranking officials and nobles.
But her sparrow's net can't be done in a day or two. For example, the sparrow that broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion had to work hard. There are very few sparrows as easy as Master Zhang of the Ministry of Industry. This is also why Sheng Xuejian gave Shopkeeper Li so much time to prepare.
When Shopkeeper Li heard Sheng Xue ask this, he realized that the girl was asking about sparrows, and quickly replied: "At present, seven or eight of our sparrows have flown out." Most of them entered the mansions of the important officials of the six ministries. Sheng Xue nodded with satisfaction. Then he asked, "What about the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”
Hearing Sheng Xue ask about the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shopkeeper Li's words were somewhat tangled: "The Prime Minister's Mansion has never had a chance to intervene, but fortunately, a few days ago, a distant cousin of the Prime Minister's wife lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion and killed a few girls, which allowed our people to make up for one." ”
"This Prime Minister's wife. None of her brothers are good! Which room is it to make up? Sheng Xue saw that when she remembered that her uncle was hiding in Tibet now, wasn't it because of a brother of the prime minister's wife! Shopkeeper Li replied: "It is the younger brother of the Prime Minister's wife." The people who served around the wife of the Prime Minister and the concubine were all born to the family, and they couldn't get in for a while. ”
Sheng Xuejian nodded slightly: "That's it, I also know it's not easy." You told the sparrow in the Prime Minister's Mansion that her eyes had opened a little these days. Report back immediately if there is any news. By the way, how is the relationship with Jingzhao Yamen and the Criminal Department? ”
"According to the instructions of the young lady, this beauty and silver are all gone, and those people were also a spendthrift in the moon chasing gambling house, so when they saw the money, their sparrows also flew to the homes of these people. With a handle, I'm not afraid of not being able to hold it. When Shopkeeper Li talked about this, he looked quite proud.
"It's a good job. Uncle Xiao has been secretly hiding in Shengjing for many days, and if this continues, the golden sign of the Bai family will really decline, and I must find out the truth of Uncle Xiao's case. You can find a way to get a copy of the original file from the Criminal Department, so that I can take a good look at it. ”
"Little one gets it! I'll do it. "Shopkeeper Li has been following Bai Wuye for many years. Now I heard that the young lady was going to focus on investigating Bai Wuye's case, and my heart became excited. Even if the young lady doesn't say it, he will not be able to hold back mentioning it in a few days. (To be continued.) )
