The sack is opened.

Cuizhi was stung in the eyes by the sudden light, ahh ”

"Cuizhi, do you know why I called you back in such a way?" Huangfu sat on the chaise longue and asked in a cold voice.

"The slave doesn't know." Cuizhi asked blankly.

A handkerchief re-sewn by silk threads fell lightly in front of him.

There is a line of small characters embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief: Qingli is like Dai, Dai is like a beauty, an inch of lovesickness, and two sorrows.

The cyan silk thread embroidered on the white handkerchief is particularly conspicuous.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Huangfu took a sip of tea and asked quietly.

Mama Chu stepped forward and picked out the candlelight.

The light in the room lit up.

"Slave, slave doesn't know ......" Cuizhi's face suddenly turned pale.

There was a snap.

A tea bowl shattered in front of him.

The warm water stains splashed on her face, and Cuizhi hurriedly crawled on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Returning to Mrs. Tai, this handkerchief was left behind by the second young lady, and after the slave maid picked it up, she forgot to return it to the second young lady, and the slave and maid did not mean it." ”

"Did you embroider the words on it, or did it already exist?" Huangfu asked again.

"Yes, it was embroidered by the slave maid." Cuizhi didn't dare to look up.

"Are you literate?" The Huangfu clan suddenly had a number in his heart.

"Slaves and maids are illiterate." Cuizhi shook her head and said, "It was the red dress next to Mr. Situ who told me, and she said that Mr. had a fan written like this, so I embroidered it on the handkerchief." ”

"Why are you doing that?" Huangfu continued to ask.

Emerald was silent.

She originally wanted to return it to Shen Qingli after she came back, but she didn't know how it ended up in the hands of the Huangfu clan after going around and around.

"Who's the Red Dress?" Seeing that she was silent, the Huangfu clan asked with anger.

"She is, Mr. Situ's concubine." Cuizhi lowered her eyes, thinking of the charming woman, and her heart felt pantothenic.

It's just a woman from the Western Regions, how did she fall into Mr. Situ's eyes?

Huangfu gave Mama Chu a look, Mama Chu understood, and retreated with the people in the house, and then, Huangfu asked in a deep voice: "Cuizhi, what do I ask you, you answer truthfully, otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless, although you are the young lady's dowry, but I still have the right to sell you, with your appearance, if you sell it to Qing, Lou, I think it will definitely sell for a good price." ”

"Mrs. Tai spares her life, and the slave must know everything and say everything." Cuizhi hurriedly kowtowed.

"Okay, let me ask you, does that Situ Kong like the second young lady?" Huangfu asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Yes, Mr. Situ once served as the second young lady for three years, and the two of them secretly fell in love......," Cuizhi said tremblingly, "Later, Mufu went to Jingzhou to be hired, and the second young lady was reluctant in every way, but she couldn't help her uncle, so she reluctantly married the prince." ”

"Who else knows about this?" Huangfu asked quietly.

"Because the second young lady was friendly with the slave and maid at that time, every time she went to the school, the second young lady only let the slave and maid follow, so except for the slave and maid, Taozhi and Bi Tao, they didn't know." Cuizhi said cautiously.

Huangfu pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Cuizhi, to be honest, I didn't plan to do anything to you at the beginning, but now that you tell the truth, then I won't be able to do anything, you just need to remember that in the future, as long as you don't talk about the length and shortness of Situ Kong and Shen Qingli to people, you will be fine, otherwise, I will definitely not keep you." ”

"Slaves don't dare." Cuizhi saw that Huangfu's face sank, and hurriedly kowtowed, "The slave maid doesn't dare to hide it from Mrs. Tai, in fact, the slave maid has long found out that since the second young lady married the prince, she no longer mentions Mr. Situ, even when Mr. Situ first came to the capital last year, the second young lady did not meet him, but the slave and maid were very upset with Mr. Situ, but they wanted to match them, so as to be valued by the second young lady again, because the slave felt that the second young lady did not treat the slave and the maid as well as before!" ”

"Do you really think so? And not at the behest of someone? Huangfu asked coldly.

"The slave is true." Cuizhi lowered his eyes.

"Okay, how did you get here, just go back!" Huangfu said as he got up, "Anyway, the Yongding Marquis Mansion can't tolerate you anymore, it depends on what you say to your master." ”

"The slave obeys." Cuizhi suddenly fell to the ground.

The big man immediately walked in, quickly put her in a sack, and carried her out.

As the night wore on, a carriage quietly exited the back door and galloped away.

Under the moonlight, a few horses stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Mu Yunting and Huangfu Zhuo jumped off their horses one after another, and along the mountain path, under the leadership of the flattered prefect, went to the valley to check the stolen and excavated rocks.

Not far away, a group of figures flashed quickly, and disappeared into the layers of mountains in the blink of an eye.

Wang Ningxi knew that Mu Yunting and Huangfu Zhuo had seen those figures, and explained awkwardly: "Your Highness, Lord Mu, since the Lord strictly ordered them to go to the mountains to quarry stones without permission a few days ago, these people have stopped during the day, but they still go out at night, and the government has limited troops. ”

Because this matter involves interests, many people are staring at this piece that looks tricky, but in fact it is a fat gap that can make money, everyone knows that the quarrying here in Jingzhou has been mined openly and secretly for many years, and those people will naturally not sit idly by, and it is not impossible to bribe the government with silver.

Although Mu Yunting is the general director of the three states, the county official is not as good as the current management, and there are some things that he will not know more.

Huangfu glanced at Wang Ningxi with mixed feelings, as soon as they arrived, those people got the news, who knows what is wrong with it.

This time, he took the initiative to ask Ying to come and assist Mu Yunting in investigating the private mining of mountains and rocks in Jingzhou, Mu Yunting naturally happily obeyed, after all, it is always good to have one more person to help, although some people speculate that it was actually the emperor who was not worried about Mu Yunting, and sent an eyeliner to his side.

Mu Yunting didn't care about this.

The people of the Canglang Society are not even afraid of the government, they are extremely arrogant, and now, he wants to attack the Canglang Society, ordinary means will not work at all, and it just so happens that Huangfu Zhuo is by his side to testify, saving him from the trouble of someone picking on him in the future.

"Lord Wang, I heard that Canglang will have a rudder in Jingzhou, do you know where their secret contact point is?" Huangfu Zhuo asked suddenly.

"The lower officials are ashamed, and the lower officials don't know." Wang Ningxi wiped his sweat and said.

"Your Highness is mistaken, the rudder of the Canglang Society is in Youzhou, not in Jingzhou." Mu Yunting glanced at the trembling Wang Ningxi, looked at the sky again, and ordered, "Okay, it's not too early, you go back first, Your Highness and I will rush to Youzhou overnight, and when we come back, we will discuss countermeasures." ”

"Xia Guan understands." Wang Ningxi retreated with relief.

After he left, Huangfu Zhuo looked at his back thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice: "Where does Mu Shizi think he will go?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, he went." Mu Yunting raised his eyebrows, turned around and walked out, and said, "This place is not suitable for a long time, I will take His Highness to a good place." ”

"Are we really going to Youzhou?" Huangfu Zhuo followed step by step.

"No, let's go lean on the Red Mansion." Mu Yunting said calmly.

Huangfu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, and teased: "I didn't expect Mu Shizi to be still an amorous species, but do you want to bring His Royal Highness badly?" ”

"Your Highness has misunderstood." Mu Yunting smiled, "Even if the minister has the courage to take His Highness out to have fun, but this Yihong Mansion is the contact point of the Canglang Society." ”

The Huangfu clan was relieved.

The two of them turned on their horses and galloped away.

Shen Mansion.

Situ Kong and Shen Ke were concentrating on playing chess.

Both of them are dressed in white, sitting cross-legged on the big kang near the window, tasting tea and playing chess, quite a bit of fairy wind bones.

A servant came to report that the prefect had come.

"Please." Shen Ke didn't seem surprised.

Situ Kong didn't raise his eyelids.

"Sir, uncle." After Wang Ningxi entered the door, he greeted him with a smile on his face, and when he saw that Mr. Situ glanced at him, he hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness and Master Mu have just arrived in Jingzhou, and they are now checking on the mountains outside the city. ”

Shen Ke lowered his head and took a step of chess and asked, "Since my brother-in-law has arrived in Jingzhou, he must come to his home!"

"I'm afraid it can't, Master Mu said that he was going to Youzhou overnight, and said that Canglang would have a rudder there." Wang Ningxi said with a smile, "It can be seen that at the moment, the imperial court does not suspect us. ”

Situ Kong glanced at him disdainfully, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, you overestimate yourself too much, do you think Mu Yunting really regards you as his own person?" If he really suspected that Canglang would break up in Youzhou, he wouldn't say it in front of you, I think you probably fell for someone else's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. ”

"Sir, do you mean that Mu Shizi is still in Jingzhou?" Shen Ke raised his head, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Could it be that he knows about our new contact point?"

Think about it, don't think it's possible, the contact point of the Canglang Society changes places almost every month, and now this contact point has only been used for a few days, and he knows it?

"Just check it out!" Situ Kong simply pushed the chess pieces, put on his shoes and went off the kang, "Let's go, take a look." ”

The three of them went out unhurriedly.

Leaning on the Red Mansion, on the bank of Yijiang Lake in Jingzhou.

By the lake, the red plum of the proud snow has not yet withered, the budding apricot blossoms have already stood on the branches, from time to time there is the sound of music, laughter, with the evening breeze slowly drifting, blowing a pool of clear water.

The hall on the first floor was already full of people.

Mu Yunting and Huangfu Zhuo were drinking, while quietly looking at the surrounding movements, Yihong Mansion looked no different from ordinary Qinglou.

There is a stage set up in front of the first floor, and there are people dancing and playing the piano.

When the guests saw the excitement, they threw silver on the stage like crazy, and the laughter was endless.

Seeing this, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

At this time, a woman in red who was twisting the waist of the water snake walked over quietly, leaned in front of the two of them with a pretty face, and asked angrily: "I wonder if the little girl can have the honor to serve the two Langjun tonight?" ”R1152
