Volume 2 Song of the Morning Question Chapter 28 News worth three hundred taels
The moonlight was slightly moist, Li Xiao took the little girl into Gao Changyu's boudoir, there are not many rooms that can be used in the palace of the king of Yu, he naturally knows.
As soon as I entered the room, I was greeted by a faint fragrance, which was a woman's unique taste, soft, like water, and like a breeze, which made people feel comfortable.
Sniffing the faint fragrance, Li Xiao took the clean fire fold on the side, and then slowly lit the candle lamp with his hands and feet, and only then did he see the furnishings in the room.
Like the other room, the furniture was plain, without a trace of luxury, and some of the chairs even had some small cracks, especially the table, on which the golden tablecloth was placed, had faded early, and looked the same as the numbness of ordinary people.
Turning his head, there was a bed on the side of the room, and there was only one bed, with gray-white decorations, and only a few worthless pendants swaying.
"Young Master......" Chu Chu looked at Li Xiao, and there seemed to be a little expectation in his eyes.
Again. Li Xiao glanced around the room and couldn't help but have a headache. Just like when they were in Yizhou, let the two of them live in the same room, but at that time, there was still a vacant room in Yizhou Lu Mansion, and now, there may not be a palace in the Yuwang Mansion. Last time, it was already inferior to the beast, and this time it ......
Li Xiao glanced at the little girl blinking beside her, and looked down subconsciously.
It's too small...... Whether it's age, or something else.
"You go to sleep first, the young master still has something to do." Li Xiao held his head and said.
"Oh." The little girl couldn't help but feel disappointed in her heart, and said in her heart, her young master is really a strange person.
The little girl walked inside with a lost expression, climbed into bed slowly, and the night's running made her fall asleep in just a few breaths. Looking at Chu Chu, Li Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help scolding himself in his heart.
"It would be nice if Chu Chu was bigger." Sighing, Li Xiao took the candlelight, walked slowly to the window, took advantage of the moonlight, sat down, and then took out the bamboo tube in his arms, slowly opened it, and poured out the withered yellow paper inside.
"Who is the mastermind behind the Wencheng Street incident?"
This is the first question written by Li Xiao, the mastermind behind the Wencheng Street incident, this is what Li Xiao wants to know the most, of course, there is also that plan, he always feels that these two seemingly unrelated things have a delicate relationship. It's just that he doesn't know the mastermind behind the Wencheng Street incident, and he doesn't know what the plan that has troubled him for fifteen years is.
However, the Wencheng Street incident procuratorate and Dongchang have been investigating for so long, and they haven't found anything, so this black market is probably not good.
Sure enough, below the question were two words: "I don't know." The next sentence was added: "There is no answer to this question, and the cashier is fifty taels." ”
"The money is very clear." Li Xiao smiled and continued to look down. There was no answer to this question, which was expected.
"Two months ago, what was the identity of the person who borrowed the incense from the East Factory?"
This is Li Xiao's second question, although he knows that the person was sent by Wan Guifei, he can't ask directly. However, the problem involves the East Factory, and I don't know if the black market can say a thing or two.
Looking down, there was a line of small characters written on it: "This woman is the palace maid next to Concubine Wan of Ningzhen Palace, and she was ordered to go to Dongchang to get a special incense." The next sentence was added: "The buyer already knows one or two, and the cashier is fifty taels." ”
"Huh?" Li Xiao looked at the sentence "know one or two" behind him, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, this black market person has a good ability, and he even knew that he went to Dongchang today to ask about Concubine Wan and Mixiang.
Subconsciously, Li Xiao looked around. Let go of the breath and notice the movement around him, but there is no other breath except for the breathing of the women in the palace. Shaking his head, his heart is sensitive, and the people in the black market should know about it because of Xu Youzhen.
However, this news is not much different from what he got from Xu Youzhen today, although the fifty taels are gone, but it can be determined, and it is not a loss.
Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but ache, thinking about his previous life, he had to consider a hundred yuan for a long time, but now it is fifty taels casually, this is silver, where is a hundred yuan.
"Ugh." sighed, and then looked down, after all, the last question is the key, and the first two questions are even a test of the water.
"Where is the person who borrowed the incense, where is the last destination?"
This is the third question, the palace maid who borrowed the incense may have gone to Suzhou, and the person who appeared in the Chu Mansion was her, or she may have handed over the incense to someone else and let someone else go to Suzhou, but no matter which one it is, he needs to know where the incense is going, and what the palace maid will do next. I don't know what this plus two hundred taels of information will be?
Puzzled, he continued to read.
"The palace maid went to the Jade Immortal Residence, and the incense was also handed over to the people of the Jade Immortal Residence." followed by a sentence: "There is an answer to this question, and the cashier is two hundred taels." ”
Mixiang went to Yuxian Residence? Li Xiao looked at the few short sentences on the paper and fell into deep thought.
This matter turned out to be related to the Jade Immortal Residence, it is possible that the female assassin who appeared in Suzhou was a person from the Jade Immortal Residence. But why did Yuxianju send someone to Suzhou to give medicine in Chu Mansion. The most important thing is that the answer reveals that the Jade Immortal Residence may be related to the Wan Guifei in the palace, but I don't know what the relationship between the two is, let alone what the purpose of the two is to do this.
Li Xiao gently rubbed the paper in his hand, his mind heavy. Jade Immortal Ju and that Jade Immortal Er are not ordinary people, he knows this, but they have something to do with Wan Guifei, which he didn't expect at all. Does Yuxianju belong to Wan Guifei, or is Yuxianju doing business for others?
"It's getting more and more interesting." He squinted at the horizon, the corners of his mouth slightly curled.
I didn't expect to have to go to the Jade Immortal Residence, and I don't know if the famous Jingshi Chun Er would tell me.
Thinking of Yu Xian'er, he was a little impulsive, he didn't go to Cheng last time, he didn't have a spring supper with her, he naturally felt a little regretful, he couldn't imagine that he could go so soon, and he didn't know if he could enjoy it.
Tonight's harvest is still good, three hundred taels, although it hurts a little, but the flowers are worth it.
Smiling, Li Xiao suddenly felt that he didn't seem to be investigating the case of Wencheng Street, but began to worry about the incident two months ago, but whether it was the case of Wencheng Street or the incident that happened in Suzhou two months ago, these were all related to him. Compared to Wencheng Street, he wanted to find out the latter.
stood up, ready to find a suitable place to rest for a while, suddenly heard a rustling sound outside the yard, frowned, put down the paper roll in his hand, pressed the box with a little rouge on one side at will, looked back at the middle, saw that the little girl did not move, so he gently pushed the door open and walked out.
The moonlight was bright and crooked, and most of the day had passed.
Li Xiao closed the door and saw Gao Changyu walking out of the other room lightly.
"His Royal Highness." He whispered.
Gao Changyu was startled by the sudden voice, and his protruding chest fell together, "It turned out to be Li Gongzi, who scared me to death." ”
Li Xiao smiled softly, and then said: "At night, His Royal Highness the County Lord no longer sleeps in the house, why are you here?" ”
Gao Changyu stroked the ends of his messy hair and replied, "I can't sleep, so I come out for a walk." ”
Where she couldn't sleep, there were only two small beds in that room, only enough for two people, and she suddenly had an extra person, so she naturally didn't have a place to sleep. Qiu Xiang and Chunlan proposed to let her sleep, but she took into account Chunlan's injury, so she refused, and the second daughter naturally advised for a while, and finally persuaded the two of them under her strong words, and she came out herself.
happened to run into Li Xiao, but I didn't expect Li Xiao to sleep.
"Why doesn't Gongzi Li sleep?"
"I can't sleep because I'm a little worried." Li Xiao replied casually. He can't sleep in the same bed with the little girl, although he can't psychologically accept Chu Chu at this age, but his body may not necessarily refuse. The little girl looks good, except that she is a little immature, and in this era, Chu Chu is at her age, she can already get married, if she doesn't control it at night and makes a mistake, then it's ......
Starting in three years, the death penalty is not lost?
"What's on your mind?" Gao Changyu followed Li Xiao to the back kitchen. At this point, it's time to start preparing for breakfast.
"But the matter of Wencheng Street ......," she asked cautiously.
Li Xiao shook his head and did not speak immediately. Although the matter of Wencheng Street is important, it is not the biggest thing for him. The most important thing now should be the incident in Suzhou two months ago, I am afraid that this incident is aimed at Chu Xin'er.
He laughed evilly and said, "It's nothing, but Your Highness, these days, you have been a lot haggard, but because you care?" ”
"Ahh Li Gongzi is joking about Changyu again. Gao Changyu blushed, didn't look at Li Xiao, and then sighed leisurely, and then said: "Don't call His Royal Highness His Royal Highness, Gongzi is not worthy of this title now." ”
A hint of loss flashed in her eyes, because of where she was now, and how she was treated.
Li Xiao knew why Gao Changyu said this, he was not a saint, he couldn't help Gao Changyu change his current situation, he couldn't protect himself, and he still had time to care about others.
Sighing silently in his heart, Li Xiao looked at Gao Changyu and didn't know what to say for a while. Gao Changyu too, with his head down, walked step by step, kicking the stones at his feet a few times from time to time. Returning to silence, the two of them didn't say a word all the way, stepping on the path with some weeds, and walked to the back kitchen of the palace of the king of Yu.
Standing in front of the kitchen, Li Xiao looked at the familiar steps, remembering Gao Changyu, who was sitting there crying bitterly more than ten days ago, and what the two of them said that night, subconsciously, he glanced at his arm, which had been bitten by Gao Changyu.
"I'm going to make breakfast, son, you can sit and sit casually." Gao Changyu broke the silence and spoke.
But after saying that, he fell into embarrassment, and sat casually, there was no stone bench and stone table in the back kitchen, let alone a place to sit. Except for the stone steps they had sat on that night.
Li Xiao didn't say anything, and walked towards the stone steps, he was not as particular as those rich boys, besides, he didn't sit before.
When I stepped forward and looked at the steps, they were surprisingly clean, without a trace of dust. It seems that His Royal Highness the county lord loves cleanliness quite much.
