What Long Yuze explained, Lin Ling quickly began to do it, and after thinking about it, she found Wang Erxiao, who looked loyal and honest.

Since you want to cultivate henchmen, you should start with young people who don't care about them and have no worries, Wang Xiaoer's legs and feet are nimble, and he reports a lot of information every day. Let him do what Long Yuze explained, it should be quite reliable. Lin Ling did not go to the mansion on the outskirts of Beijing, but summoned Wang Erxiao to listen to Yuxuan.

This is the first time Wang Erxiao has come here, and it is also the first time to see the news from himself and everyone being so neatly placed on the bookcase, and he didn't expect that in just one or two months, they would find out so much information, no wonder Ashin went to give them silver.

"You sit down first." Lin Ling let Ah Xin serve tea, and smiled and asked Wang Erxiao to sit down.

Wang Erxiao was extremely restrained, he was dressed in a beggar's suit, dirty, and a little helpless when he stood in the huge study. He now earns a lot of money by relying on intelligence, but he has not bought himself bright clothes, only a beggar's suit, so as not to attract the attention of others, and to better find out the news.

"It's okay, you sit." Lin Ling said with a smile, "I asked you to come today, there is a big thing for you to do, as long as it is done, you don't have to go out every day to find out the news in the future, and follow Ashin to run Tingyuxuan together, how about it?" ”

Wang Erxiao sat down cautiously, looked around in disbelief, and stammered, "Let me ...... Let me run here? Girl...... You're not kidding...... I don't even know a single big word! ”

"You don't need to know anything here, you just need to know where to put the information that the guests want." Lin Ling said lightly, "These are all things later, you can learn them slowly." I'm talking about this very important thing, and you have to promise me that you will never tell anyone, including your closest friends, etc., okay? ”

Wang Er's small head is like pounding garlic: "Don't worry, girl, I will never say it!" ”

"That's good." Lin Ling nodded, "The squire who lives in the east of the city, have you ever been there?" ”

Wang Erxiao thought for a while and nodded: "A few years ago, I used to beg there, and there was an eaves behind the squire's house, and when it rained, everyone would hide there. But the squire's house really didn't have much oil and water, and there wasn't much food to throw away, so our brothers never went there again. ”

"Okay, my task now is to find out what secret the squire has." Lin Ling said while thinking about it, "Especially about who Lord Shilang has a close relationship with, as well as his family, in short, all aspects must be found out, if you feel that you can't do it alone, I can send Ashin to help you." ”

Wang Erxiao touched his head and said: "Too many people will arouse suspicion, don't worry, girl, I will definitely handle this matter!" ”

As soon as Wang Erxiao was sent out of the door, the know-it-all ran in with a gust of wind.

"How's it going, jack-of-all-trades, have you figured it out these days?" Lin Ling said with a smile.

The know-it-all slammed a key in his hand on the desk, and said unwillingly: "I give you all the information there, but I want you to make four layers of profits here!" ”

Lin Ling saw that the key was full of beads of sweat, and he was very reluctant to come to this know-it-all, so he didn't need to pick it up, and said with a smile: "We don't raise idlers when we listen to Yuxuan, if the know-it-all wants to rely on your news to get four layers of profits for a lifetime, it's impossible!" "The fish has already taken the bait, so she doesn't mind putting a long line.

"Who told you that I'm a jack of all trades?" The know-it-all snorted coldly, "I don't know how many more channels for information than you do, and I cooperated with you just because I took a fancy to your business methods." Don't worry, since I want to take the fourth layer of profits, this Tingyuxuan will also have my share, and I will naturally let its development flourish! ”

"Good!" Lin Ling clapped his hands and happily picked up the key on the table.

"If you want any news, go directly to me, with this key, you can look through any case file at will." The know-it-all stared at the key and said, reluctant in every way.

Lin Ling nodded and said: "I'm better to ask you directly, come, let's make three chapters of the law first, and then this Tingyuxuan will be you and me, you occupy four floors, I occupy six floors, and in the future, we will cooperate well and work together to manage Tingyuxuan!" ”

The know-it-all stretched out his palm and made an appointment with Lin Ling for three chapters, and it wasn't until he hit it three times that Lin Ling smiled briskly.

"I want to ask you, do you know anything about the Prime Minister?" Lin Ling asked with a smile, since the two had already cooperated, she didn't have such worries. The ancients paid great attention to high-fives and oaths, and he was a trader and extremely religious, so if he did not clash with his interests, he should not betray her.

"Prime Minister?" The know-it-all frowned and thought for a while and said, "The money I have earned over the years is all from the common people, and I rarely deal with court officials, but I usually write down any little secrets and put them in the treasury, I have no impression of this, I have to go back and find it." ”

"Thank you." Lin Ling sent the know-it-all out the door, and he nested in the chair alone thinking about the next move.

Lord Shilang handed it over to Wang Erxiao to do it, and the Prime Minister temporarily relied on know-it-all, and the general ...... Lin Ling frowned, Qin Keke's husband was a general, if she wanted to find out the news, she had to have a connection with Qin Yiyan. Hey, what to do? But you can't stop going because the general is related to the Qin Marquis Mansion, right? Lin Ling grabbed her hair, it seemed that she had to go to this matter in person.

Chen Huiniang looked at the account book carefully, and when she saw Hongying walking in, she said without raising her head: "How is the investigation?" ”

"Which one does the young lady want to listen to first?" Hongying deliberately betrayed Guan Zi and said, "Do you want to hear about that woman's recent movements, or do you want to hear the news of that woman's child?" ”

Chen Huiniang put down the brush in her hand and raised her head: "There is news?" ”

"Yes!" Hongying nodded heavily, "Miss sent someone to stare at that woman before, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with her, but I just felt that she was engaging in a conspiracy." Therefore, the slave maid sent more people to follow her, and it was found out that she had purchased a house on the outskirts of Beijing, in which thirty or forty beggars were raised. And next door to her current house, which is also her property, she is mysterious every day, and the slave maid can't guess her movements, so she tells Miss to let Miss analyze it. ”

Hongying saw that Chen Huiniang's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and said: "As for that woman's child, the slave maid sent someone to sneak into the house on the outskirts of Beijing and the house next door to the woman, but they didn't find it. So he sent people to Quanzhou again, but there was still no trace of the child. However, the slave maid thought of one thing, that is, this woman did not know many people, and there were only three possibilities for the child's hiding place. The first is the Qinhou Mansion, the second is the missing Luo Wenjie, and the third is the island where she and the prince were killed. ”

"Yes, you're getting smarter." Chen Huiniang affirmed the specific analysis of the red tassel.

"That's it, I've been following Miss for so long, of course I'll get smarter!" Hongying smiled.

Chen Huiniang thought for a while and said: "Lin Ling, this girl is not smart, she is just thinking about saving the prince now, so she has inspired her, and she doesn't have to worry about what she does now for the time being." You divide the people you can mobilize into three groups, some go to the Black Forest, some go to the island, and some stay in the capital to observe the Qinhou Mansion. ”

"But......," said Hongying, frowning, "the Black Forest comes and goes for a month or two, and the island is even more ......."

"This is also better than the prince's relatives and blood returning to the capital a few years later!" Chen Huiniang said coldly.

"Yes, the slave will do it!" Hongying nodded and immediately retreated.

Chen Huiniang put away the account book, walked out of the house, saw that the grass and branches were bare, looked up at the sky, dark clouds were thick, and it was going to rain again. But it's late November, and it's not long before it snows. She suddenly felt that her life was like this weather, lifeless.

Although he loves someone in his heart, he never gets a response, and because he is not trusted, he is not even qualified to save him.

It is said that if there is love in her heart, she will be loved by life, but why is she still desolate and alone waiting for the snow?

When Lin Ling was struggling with what excuse to use to visit Qin Keke, he heard that the General's Mansion was going to hold a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet.

She remembered that this Qin Keke's favorite thing is flowers, and the more precious she is, the more she loves it. Now it is still winter, the chrysanthemums are about to wither, and the plum blossoms have not yet opened, the chrysanthemum feast at this time must be quite exciting. After all, the chrysanthemums that survive this season must be amazing.

According to the information, Lin Ling easily bought a pot of gorgeous chrysanthemums at an inexpensive price from an old flower farmer. This chrysanthemum is not precious, but the toughness is very good, although it can't be amazing, but at least it can let her blend into the general's mansion. She is not familiar to the ordinary people in the capital, but she has held a small banquet in the palace, so some ladies and ladies know her, so she disguised herself a little, and then she went to the general's mansion with flowers.

The population of the General's Mansion is not complicated, the old general's wife died of illness at an early age, the old general is old, and it has nothing to do with him to send troops to fight, his favorite thing is to play Go with people, so he is generally not in the mansion. Therefore, there are only two masters in the General's Mansion, the Great General and Qin Keke. Lin Ling wandered around the mansion for a while, only saw countless women, and did not see any generals, so he didn't have any interest in coming to such a chrysanthemum banquet.

"Everyone, please come today, just enjoy the chrysanthemums together, and then drink tea and chat." Qin Keke came out of the house and said loudly, "These chrysanthemums are quite precious, plus you have also brought various varieties of flowers today, the General's Mansion can be described as a hundred flowers!" You're welcome, take your seats! ”

Qin Keke was dressed in a dark purple robe, which was extremely inconsistent with her age and temperament. The hair was combed high, and a golden jade step was inserted in the side of the bun. She is petite, if it weren't for the two names of the general's wife and the sister of Qin Xiaohouye, I'm afraid she would have drowned in the crowd a long time ago.

There are all kinds of melons and fruits on the table, and there are fruits in this season, it seems that Qin Keke has also put a lot of thought into it. She has no scheming, and her temperament is direct and spicy, fortunately, the population of this general's mansion is simple, otherwise she would really be struggling. Lin Ling mixed in the crowd and ate a piece of snack complacently, and a young lady next to her asked her what her surname was, and she vaguely fooled her.

Today, Lin Ling is dressed very plainly, and she looks like a young lady with an average family background. Since marrying Long Yuze, she has not had the habit of combing her hair in a bun, and she will dress up a little more formally unless she enters the palace to meet the emperor and queen, so she looks like a young lady on weekdays, so those who listen to Yuxuan call her a girl directly. When she got here, she also had long hair and a shawl, and she slightly asked Ashin to disguise her, and people who were not very familiar with her couldn't recognize her.

When the most lively time passed, most of the ladies and ladies went to enjoy the flowers, and Lin Ling sneaked out of the flower hall and wandered around the general's mansion. This general's mansion is not big, but Lin Ling walked around the kung fu of a pillar of incense, but he didn't find any news. I had to go back to the flower hall unhappily, planning to find a chance to slip away.

"You!" Suddenly, Qin Keke in the flower hall roared angrily, and Lin Ling hurriedly looked over, "On weekdays, I would be lawless with the favor of the general, but today I was embarrassed in public!" With that, Qin Keke raised his hand and slapped a petite woman standing in front of her in the face.

Everyone was shocked, Lin Ling had seen Qin Keke slap Miss Chen Er's face before, and when he saw it again today, he was not surprised, he just felt that this Qin Keke had not grown his brain for so long? Beating people in front of all the ladies and ladies in the capital, even if there are more concubines, Qin Keke's own reputation will not be much better.

"Madame spares her life, the concubine accidentally burned Madame, and please punish Madame!" The woman bent over and begged desperately for mercy.

Qin Keke was extremely angry, and shouted in a low voice: "You kneel down for me, and get up again in two hours!" "This trick, Qin Keke learned from Bo Yizhu, doesn't Bo Yizhu often treat Ma Xiaoge like this? She has no feelings for the general, what she hates is that there is always a woman dangling in front of her with the general's favor, and making trouble for her behind her back, but the general always stands by this cheap woman's side, can she not hate?

"Madam......" the woman defended in a low voice, "The general said that except for the emperor and the queen's mother, concubines are not allowed to kneel to anyone......" As soon as she said this, everyone couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at Qin Keke, and the concubine knelt down to the master's mother, no matter how ordinary it was, it was not allowed in this general's mansion.

Maybe the rumors outside are true, this young lady of the Qin Hou Mansion is not favored when she marries into the General's Mansion, and the general spoils the concubine and kills his wife, Qin Keke has been angry and returned to her parents' house several times. Now it seems that this Qin Keke is too vigorous, and this concubine is soft and weak, no matter which man will choose the concubine, right?

Lin Ling shook her head, she didn't bother to care about this kind of thing, so she might as well take the opportunity to slip away.

Just as Lin Ling was about to take advantage of the chaos to leave, Qin Keke raised his hand again and slapped the woman, the voice was very loud, Lin Ling was startled, and the maid ring guarding the flower hall was also shocked, but she couldn't slip away for the time being.

"Okay, you dare to threaten me with the general?" Qin Keke roared angrily, "Come on, go and invite the general back now, there are so many people here today, but the general should praise and comment on who is right and who is wrong!" ”

Lin Ling couldn't help but be full of black lines, even if the little concubine deliberately poured hot water on her, it would be Qin Keke's mistake now. But...... Lin Ling frowned, maybe she could see something from this chaos. If you want the general to speak for Long Yuze above the court, you must master his weakness or win his favor.

The ladies and ladies in the flower hall did not have a deep relationship with Qin Keke, although they sympathized with her, they didn't intend to cause trouble, so they symbolically persuaded them for a while and prepared to leave. But Qin Keke didn't let them go, saying that he had to be a witness to see whose fault it was.

It didn't take long for the general to return.

This is a vigorous man, with dark skin, and at first glance he looks like a perennial fighter. He was tall and stood in the middle of a large group of women, looking particularly unusual. But he didn't seem to notice this, and rushed to the side of the woman who was crying in a low voice, put his arm around the woman's shoulder, stroked her swollen cheek, and glared at Qin Keke angrily.

"What do you see me doing?" Qin Keke said disdainfully, and then pointed to his arm, "Look here, she splashed it!" She splashed all the hot water on me when it just came out of the oven, shouldn't I hit it? You may not believe me, but you have to believe so many pairs of eyes, right? These ladies and ladies won't lie to you! ”

"General, it's all my fault, I didn't take the cup and splashed my wife, and my wife scolded me and beat me, and I didn't complain." The woman said delicately, "But general, you said that I don't need to kneel to anyone except the emperor and the queen, so I don't want to kneel......"

"Okay, you, while saying that it's okay to beat you and scold you, on the other hand, you're finding all kinds of excuses to prevaricate, you treat me stupidly!" Qin Keke roared angrily, "General, my arm was burned today, I must ask for an explanation, otherwise, I won't give up easily!" ”

"Enough!" The general roared, "She burned you, you slapped her twice, it's offset, don't mention this matter in the future!" ”

Lin Ling noticed that the general's eyes when he looked at the concubine were full of distressed tenderness, not like a simple pampering of the concubine, but more like a kind of love from the heart. The woman leaned delicately on the general's arms, her face was full of fear, Lin Ling was not sure whether this woman was deliberately acting this scene, and she really just accidentally angered Qin Keke.

This general is in love with that concubine...... Lin Ling remembered it in his heart. ...... who are unwilling to kneel"

"Okay, you, while saying that it's okay to beat you and scold you, on the other hand, you're finding all kinds of excuses to prevaricate, you treat me stupidly!" Qin Keke roared angrily, "General, my arm was burned today, I must ask for an explanation, otherwise, I won't give up easily!" ”

"Enough!" The general roared, "She burned you, you slapped her twice, it's offset, don't mention this matter in the future!" ”

Lin Ling noticed that the general's eyes when he looked at the concubine were full of distressed tenderness, not like a simple pampering of the concubine, but more like a kind of love from the heart. The woman leaned delicately on the general's arms, her face was full of fear, Lin Ling was not sure whether this woman was deliberately acting this scene, and she really just accidentally angered Qin Keke.

This general is in love with that concubine...... Lin Ling remembered it in his heart.
