Chapter 43、It's so strange

On this topic of Liu Shusheng and this Qinglou woman, Zhang Xiang and Qin Elegy did not discuss too much.

Qin Elegy wants to talk about the origin of this song "Snow Plum Fragrance", which just led to this story.

After finishing speaking, he gave up and asked Zhang Xiangdao: "Ming Heng, what are you going to do if you ask Yang Li to find these bags for you?" ”

Although she had been playing the piano in the inner room of the bead curtain just now, she could also hear the conversation between Zhang Xiang and Yang Li clearly by using her internal force.

Zhang Xiang said slowly: "This is a means of information gathering, which can be used for business, and can be used for other purposes in the future, of course, I don't know what the future will be, but so far I have planned it in my mind, and I think it is feasible, and at present, I am only using it for business, in addition, I want to use it to find out those assassins who are hiding in Pingzhou City to assassinate me." ”

"How?" Qin Elegy was a little puzzled.

Zhang Xiang smiled lightly: "As long as the news of these people can cover the entire Pingzhou City, it should not be difficult, just like the Inspectorate in the capital." ”

When Qin Elegy heard this, he was taken aback: "If you are discovered, you will be beheaded." ”

Zhang Xiang nodded very clearly: "So, I am currently only used for commercial purposes, externally, of course, it is just a simple business news shop, you can rest assured, I will control the balance of this." ”

Qin Elegy's worries, Zhang Xiang understands.

The inspection institute of Southern Chu is a secret agency, which directly obeys the emperor's orders, just like the embroidered messengers of the Han Dynasty, the bad people of the Tang Dynasty, the Dongchang of the Ming Dynasty, and so on.

This kind of spy agency is not allowed to appear in the civilian sector.

That's why Qin Elegy was so surprised when he heard that the shop that Zhang Xiang was going to do was of the same nature as the Inspectorate.

Zhang Xiang explained to her again: "I will only use the news of this shop to collect some folk gossip and then sell it to the people, and it will not involve any information about the imperial court." ”

"Then will you also be a force like the Inspectorate in the future?" Qin Elegy asked.

Zhang Xiang thought for a moment and nodded lightly: "I have this idea, if I go to Beijing in the future, I want to investigate the truth about the fall of Liangzhou, and I am very passive without my own information force." I am now making such a shop for the future, and once such a news network is formed, it will only be more powerful than the Supervision Yuan, I can use the cover of doing business to make such a news network spread throughout Nanchu, so that every city and state capital has such a liaison shop, and it can even spread to Northern Liao, Dongyan, etc. ”

"After all, a force like the Inspectorate is under the jurisdiction of the royal family, and it is easy to be discovered when it spreads, and it is impossible to infiltrate the enemy country, but it is different like me, this is just a kind of business, externally, internally, as long as the real use is hidden, others can't find a handle, merchants are not divided into regions, even between the enemy and us, the trade between merchants is not very frequent!" Zhang Xiang smiled lightly.

For Qin Elegy, he naturally didn't have to hide his thoughts.

In the news of this era, as long as it does not spread information and rumors about the imperial court, create confusion in people's minds, and other related topics, and only disseminate some civil news, there should be no problem.

Just listening to Zhang Xiang's narration, Qin Elegy didn't understand the way of running the news, just looking at Zhang Xiang's self-confidence, she was a little relieved, she knew that Zhang Xiang was not the kind of reckless person.

But he was still a little worried: "What if I am targeted by the court in the future?" ”

"If you keep an eye on it, you will keep an eye on it!" Zhang Xiang smiled indifferently and said, "Maybe the imperial court will support me!" ”

"Uh..."Qin Elegy looked confused.

Zhang Xiang didn't explain to her anymore, and smiled slightly: "Don't be in a hurry, step by step, everything is ready at present, only the east wind is owed, and when Yang Li helps me find these bags to inquire, my news agency can basically be opened." ”

"Hope everything is as you expected." Qin Elegy had no choice but to smile.

For some reason, in the face of such a wise Zhang Xiang, she was full of absolute trust.

"Knock Knock"

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

Qin Elegy got up and went to open the door.

Outside the door, there was a maid in the Qinglou, she bowed to Qin Elegy, and whispered: "Sister Qin, Mother Cui asked me to tell you that Princess Gaoping's carriage stopped outside Ning Xiangju." ”

"Oh?" Qin Elegy glanced back at Zhang Xiang with a smile.

Then he turned back to the maid and said, "Got it, you go first!" ”

closed the door again and said to Zhang Xiang: "You have been out for so long, and your princess and lady have come to the door." ”

"Then it's time for me to go." Zhang Xiang showed a hint of helplessness.

Qin Elegy said: "If there is something, I will ask my senior brother to inform you, if you want to find me, you can come to me at any time." ”

……

When Zhang Xiang walked out of Ningxiangju, it was already past midnight, and he stayed in Ningxiangju for almost three hours.

There are fewer pedestrians on the streets, most of the shops have been curfew, and only places like Qinglou are still lively.

Zhao Hanyan's carriage stopped on the bank of the Qinhuai River not far away, and the little slave stood outside the car, stretching his neck from time to time to look in the direction of Ning Xiangju.

After seeing Zhang Xiang's figure, he was happy and hurriedly said to the car: "Princess, the horse has come out." ”

"Hmm..."Zhao Hanyan in the car said in a flat tone: "What I asked you to ask just now, did you ask?" ”

The little slave nodded: "Back to the princess, the slave maid went to ask, and the people in Ning Xiangju said that the concubine was indeed entering Ning Xiangju with Yang Zhongkang and Yang Gongzi just now." ”

"Which woman from Ning Xiangju are they looking for?" Zhao Hanyan asked again.

The little slave replied: "It's the Oiran of Ning Xiangju, Qin Elegy Qin girl." ”

While the two masters and servants were talking, Zhang Xiang also came closer, and the two stopped talking.

The little slave winked at Zhang Xiang from time to time.

Zhang Xiang nodded lightly to her, then walked to the carriage and said in a loud voice, "Princess." ”

Zhao Hanyan said calmly in the car: "It's not too early, donkey, it's time to go home." ”

"Bothered the princess." Zhang Xiang apologized.

Zhao Hanyan said: "Come on, you are my husband, as a wife, Gao Ping should spend a snack." ”

Then Zhang Xiang stepped into the carriage.

Zhao Hanyan in the car didn't have any expression, just glanced at him lightly, and then ordered the groom to drive.

All the way back to the Horse Mansion, neither of them spoke much.

Zhang Xiang couldn't guess Zhao Hanyan's thoughts, but he felt that Zhao Hanyan couldn't see that he was angry, and he shouldn't have much opinion on him going to the Qinglou.

Anyway, Zhao Hanyan had also signaled him before that he could go to the Qinglou to meet his needs, as long as it wasn't too public.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xiang was able to unscrupulously inform the little slave of his whereabouts.

After returning to the mansion, before parting in the courtyard, Zhao Hanyan finally spoke to him, and her tone was soft: "The horse, I recently heard from the people in the mansion that the horse often goes out to run around in the business of the cloth village, I saw that the horse has not returned today, and I am worried, so I went to pick up the horse, after all, the assassin in the city has not been found, and the horse needs to be careful when going out in the future, and you can bring more guards with you." ”

"Thank you princess for your concern, Mingheng remembers." Zhang Xiang nodded hurriedly.

Zhao Hanyan continued: "Before the assassins are found, Gao Ping suggested that the horses should go out less in the future, after all, if these assassins assassinate the horses again, they may not be as lucky as last time, and there is no need to worry about business matters." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Hanyan gave him a courtesy as a wife: "Then Gao Ping will go to rest first, and the horse will also go back to rest!" ”

After Zhao Hanyan left, Zhang Xiang also returned in the direction of the east room.

The little slave looked left and right in a daze, and then hurriedly trotted to keep up with the princess.

At this time, the little girl was very strange in her heart.

Before, the princess said that she was going to pick up the pony, but she thought that the princess was angry and wanted to scold the pony angrily.

didn't expect to come back all the way back and be safe.

Could it be that the concubine went to the Qinglou to look for flowers and ask the willow, and the princess was not angry?

It's so weird, it's so weird......
