…………
When Zhao Junchen saw Wei Huai, he didn't expect that Wei Huai was here for Chu Jiayi's affairs.
After all, it wasn't until last night that they began to have doubts about Chu Jiayi's identity.
Now, it was just after noon, and it was only one night and one morning, although Zhao Junchen believed in Wei Huai's ability to do things, he didn't think that Wei Huai could find out what was going on in such a short time.
However, Zhao Junchen still underestimated Wei Huai's ability after all.
Therefore, after taking Wei Huai to the study, Zhao Junchen sat down, and just asked, "Mr. Wei specially came to the house to look for me today, but what happened to the West Factory?" ”
Wei Huai nodded first, then shook his head again, and said lightly: "Something happened, but it's not a big deal." Yixing Hou Luo Xiang, the descendant of the Luo family, came to the West Factory today to report, although he is young, but he has a somewhat capable appearance, and he is arranged to serve as the foreman of the West Factory in accordance with the will of the adults, and is responsible for the 'listening' affairs of the West Factory on weekdays, and sent capable people to keep an eye on him secretly, but he is not afraid of what waves he will make. ”
The so-called "listening" refers to the fact that when the three law divisions and Jinyiwei were trying the big case, the Xichang sent people to observe the trial, although the power was not small, but it could not interfere with the power of the Xichang, Wei Huai's arrangement was based on the discussion between the two last night.
Between Zhao Junchen nodding slightly, Wei Huai said again: "In addition, I got the news that Feng Desheng, the governor of the East Factory, had secretly met with Hong Jin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Song Gaolin, the envoy of the Fusi Town of Beizhen, earlier today. The factory governor still has to prepare for this in advance, the Jinyi Wei Yamen is very important, and we have to win it over no matter what. ”
Zhao Junchen had expected this, and he didn't care about it after getting the news, he just smiled lightly and said: "It seems that this Dongchang really can't hold it back, and their current actions are just the beginning." ”
"These things, either there are lowly things to watch, or adults have already made a decision, and they are not important things." Speaking of this, Wei Huai's eyes froze, and he said slowly: "The humble post specially came to see the adult today, but it was for the sake of Chu Jiayi in the adult's mansion. ”
Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned, looked at Wei Huai with some surprise, and asked, "Oh? Chu Jiayi's matter has already been clarified? How can it be so fast? ”
Wei Huai nodded, but a sneer flashed on his face, and he said slowly: "Lord Huichang, I sent someone to check, that Chu Jiayi claimed to be from Funing County, Yongping Prefecture, Beizhili, and her family was in the middle of the road, and she was persecuted by the villain, and her clan died or scattered, so it can be seen that her family should be famous in the local area." And her temperament and appearance do not seem to be born in a small family, plus she is literate and good at making zuò pastries, it can be seen that she is either a young lady or a scholarly family, even if it is not good, her ancestors should also be famous local chefs. ”
Seeing Zhao Junchen nodding, Wei Huai said again: "Funing County is far away from the capital, and it takes time to investigate back and forth, but this matter cannot be delayed. Fortunately, there are people from all over the world in the capital, so I asked three people from Funing County in Beijing overnight, but now in Funing County for more than 100 years, there are no famous families with the surname Chu at all, even if there are one or two families with the surname Chu, I am afraid that they are just farming people in the countryside, and it is impossible to teach a woman like Chu Jiayi. ”
Zhao Junchen sighed and said: "In this way, this Chu Jiayi's identity background is really fake. ”
Wei Huai said coldly: "But her path is true. ”
During the Ming Dynasty, in order to control the people, the government had such a provision: everything far away from the place of residence 100 miles away from the place of residence must be put by the local yamen to put a kind of official certificate, that is, "road guide". If there is no "guide", let alone working and walking in other places, once it appears, it will be imprisoned and interrogated.
In a way, the "road guide" is the proof that the people of the Ming Dynasty left their hometowns.
Seeing that Zhao Junchen was thoughtful, Wei Huai's eyes sank, and he said: "In addition, I got the news a few days ago that the prince had a secret letter with Peng Wei, the magistrate of Funing County, earlier. Peng Wei, the magistrate of Funing County, has always regarded himself as a princeling, but as a prince, it is too unusual for him to deliberately contact a low-level petty official like him. And two days after the prince received the secret letter, Chu Jiayi took the road to the adult's mansion to do things. ”
After a pause, Wei Huai sneered: "For a period of time, all the major forces in the DPRK and China have been sending people to keep an eye on them, but except for the crown prince, no one else has any contact with Funing County. If the humble position is not bad, the secret letter that Peng Wei, the magistrate of Funing County, replied to the prince, must be the guide of Chu Jiayi. ”
While speaking, seeing that Zhao Junchen seemed to be undeniable, Wei Huai added: "Although these are just speculations, they are also ** not far from ten, and now they have sent people to Funing County to secretly investigate, and I think I will be able to get detailed evidence in a few days." ”
"You mean......" After hearing Wei Huai's speculation, Zhao Junchen groaned, as if he was smiling, but he didn't seem to believe it, but asked slowly: "The person behind this Chu Jiayi is actually our Royal Highness the Prince?" I didn't expect that our Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has always acted above board, would do such a thing. ”
Although Zhao Junchen was suspicious of Wei Huai's speculation, Wei Huai didn't care, and just said: "From the humble point of view, it is precisely because the prince is too bright and upright and not good at these things that he will send someone like Chu Jiayi to be a spy in the adult's mansion." Adults, you should know that a qualified spy has extremely high requirements in all aspects, including mind, forbearance, and background, and this Chu Jiayi is not suitable at all. Which of the major forces in the DPRK and China does not know this? Except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has never known this, I'm afraid no one will do this. ”
After a pause, Wei Huai added: "What's more, at the beginning of He Ming's extermination case, we did wronged King Gong'an, but my lord, you are powerful in the court, and the reputation of several other pavilion elders in the court is not much better, if this Chu Jiayi is really the adopted daughter of King Gong'an, I am afraid that she will only seek the help of the prince." ”
Although Wei Huai's inferences were reasonable, Zhao Junchen still didn't believe that the crown prince Zhu Heyu would do anything to plant spies in his mansion.
After all, Zhao Junchen knows Zhu Heyu too well.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen just shook his head lightly and said: "After all, this qiē is just speculation, in fact, we haven't even decided whether this Chu Jiayi is the adopted daughter of King Gong'an, although your speculation is reasonable, but there is no empirical evidence, and I can't make the next plan because of speculation." ”
While speaking, Zhao Junchen felt that he was a little too distrustful of Wei Huai in such a statement, and in order to prevent Wei Huai from being separated by this, he explained to Wei Huai with a smile: "It's not that I don't trust you, I really need to be cautious." ”
Wei Huai didn't care, but he didn't expect that Zhao Junchen, as the political enemy of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, was repeatedly embarrassed by Zhu Heyu, and he would still believe in Zhu Heyu's character so much.
Perhaps, in response to the sentence "The person who knows you best will always be your opponent", Zhao Junchen knows the prince Zhu Heyu very well and is convinced of his character.
However, Wei Huai's speculation was indeed leaky, and Zhao Junchen couldn't find a flaw for a while, although he was suspicious in his heart, he couldn't help but believe it.
On the other side, after seeing Zhao Junchen's statement like this, Wei Huai was not reluctant, but said: "Lord Factory Governor, whether this Chu Jiayi's mastermind is the prince or not, we might as well slowly verify it in the future, as long as we send someone to keep an eye on it, they will show their flaws sooner or later." However, whether this Chu Jiayi is the adopted daughter of King Gong'an or not, the lowliness can be confirmed immediately. ”
Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned and asked, "Oh? How are you going to prove it? ”
Wei Huai explained: "After King Gong'an was robbed of his house and questioned, some people in the palace of King Gong'an are now being imprisoned in the prison in Beijing, and now they have sent someone to bring them out, waiting outside the mansion of the adults, as long as the adults let Chu Jiayi go out of the mansion, and these people in the palace of Gong'an can testify, and they can immediately know whether she is the adopted daughter of King Gong'an." ”
After Zhao Junchen pondered for a moment, he nodded at Xu Qingyan on the side and said, "Think of a reason to take Chu Jiayi out of the mansion, do it secretly, don't let people show flaws." ”
Seeing that Wei Huai was thoughtful, Xu Qingyan secretly sighed for Chu Jiayi, but he didn't hesitate, and went to arrange it after agreeing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Under Xu Qingyan's secret arrangement, it didn't take long for Chu Jiayi to leave the Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Junchen wanted to eat osmanthus cake at night, but when Chu Jiayi was preparing, he learned that there were no osmanthus flowers in Zhao's mansion, and he couldn't find anyone else for a while, so Chu Jiayi had to go out of the mansion to buy it in person.
When she was in the Zhao Mansion, Chu Jiayi was always low-key and cautious, after all, she came to the Zhao Mansion with other plans, for fear of revealing flaws, so she needed to be careful from time to time.
After leaving the Zhao Mansion, Chu Jiayi took off her guard, thinking of her experience in the past few days, but she frowned.
The facts, as Wei Huai guessed, Chu Jiayi is Chu Jiayi, and she is the fugitive adopted daughter of King Gong'an!
At the beginning, seeing that the Gong'an Palace's mansion was raided, although Chu Jiayi was anxious, she was also cautious and did not show up, thus escaping the catastrophe. Then he sold his valuable belongings all over again, came to the capital, and found Zhu Heyu, the most prestigious prince in the court, to ask for help, wanting to help his adoptive father get out.
However, King Gong'an's case belongs to the scope of the edict, even if Zhu Heyu is the crown prince of the dynasty, he can't intervene, and in the end, the whole palace of Gong'an was framed by Zhao Junchen, and then Chu Jiayi's relatives and friends were imprisoned, exiled, and beheaded.
But unlike Wei Huai's guess, the reason why Chu Jiayi infiltrated the Zhao Mansion was not at the instigation of the crown prince Zhu Heyu, but Chu Jiayi took the initiative to ask for it.
After King Gong'an's case was settled, Chu Jiayi could be said to hate Zhao Junchen very much, but even if it was the crown prince Zhu Heyu, he couldn't help Zhao Junchen for a while, let alone she, the adopted daughter of the King of Sins?
Originally, according to the meaning of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, he planned to place her in the prince*, and then let her show up after finding a way to be Gong'an Wang Zhaoxue in the future. However, this Chu Jiayi is stubborn, and he actually planned to bring down Zhao Junchen with his own hands, and took the initiative to put forward a plan to infiltrate Zhao Mansion.
The crown prince Zhu and Yu didn't agree originally, but they couldn't resist Chu Jiayi's resolute attitude, and even forced each other to die, so they could only help in the end.
However, one of them is a prince with a decent style, and the other is an eldest lady who lives in the boudoir, naturally they don't know this, but they didn't expect to leave so many flaws, and it didn't take long for them to show their feet, and Wei Huai guessed the tenth of the thing.
Besides, this Chu Jiayi, since sneaking into the Zhao Mansion, it has not been smooth sailing.
First of all, because she was too beautiful, the steward of the mansion was afraid that Chu Jiayi would flatter Zhao Junchen, and finally offended the legendary Ruyi lady Fang Ru, who was extremely jealous, and actually planned to drive her out of the Zhao Mansion, but fortunately, Chu Jiayi was anxious and bribed the manager of the Zhao Mansion, but although she reluctantly stayed in the Zhao Mansion, she could only help in the kitchen of the Zhao Mansion.
The reason why Chu Jiayi infiltrated the Zhao Mansion was to get close to Zhao Junchen, and then try to find unfavorable evidence against Zhao Junchen and help the crown prince Zhu and Yu to bring down Zhao Junchen.
However, she is in the kitchen and can't show her face on weekdays, how can she attract Zhao Junchen's attention?
Fortunately, Chu Jiayi is not only stubborn and blue-hearted, but also has a pair of skillful hands, the level of making zuò dim sum, far from those Zhao Mansion chefs, and the silver funded by the prince, soon, Chu Jiayi has the opportunity to prepare pastries for Zhao Junchen.
However, Chu Jiayi still thought about things too simple after all, although her pastries were loved by Zhao Junchen and became the special person in charge of Zhao Junchen's nightly snack, but Zhao Junchen's status was noble, and he didn't even mean to see her, and in the end she could only nest in the kitchen of Zhao's mansion.
Last night, finally, Zhao Junchen's elder Xu Qingyan came to her, Chu Jiayi thought that Zhao Junchen was finally going to see her, but she didn't expect that she just asked for her "health soup" recipe.
In order to attract Zhao Junchen's attention, Chu Jiayi refused Xu Qingyan's request, thinking that Zhao Junchen was either angry or curious, and would meet him after all, but he didn't expect that the matter would be over.
In this way, Chu Jiayi entered the Zhao Mansion for many days, but she couldn't even see Zhao Junchen's face, let alone collect evidence that was unfavorable to Zhao Junchen, and as for helping the crown prince Zhu Heyu to bring down Zhao Junchen, it was even more far away.
"Hey!"
Thinking that she had worked hard these days, but it seemed that she had done useless work, Chu Jiayi sighed softly, her willow eyebrows frowned lightly, and her white face was full of faint eyes, which led to reverie.
…………
However, when Chu Jiayi was sighing secretly, she didn't appear, and someone was secretly observing her at this time.
Wang Shou, who was originally an old man in the palace of Gong'an, is now implicated by King Gong'an and is also in prison.
But today, he was taken out of prison by two Xichang fanzi and brought here.
He had naturally seen Chu Jiayi.
At this time, a Xichang fan pointed to Chu Jiayi who was passing by in the distance, and asked Wang Shou viciously: "Say!" Is this woman Zhu Jiayi, the adopted daughter of King Gong'an!? ”
When Chu Jiayi was in Gong'an Palace, she was humble and treated her subordinates very well, and Wang Shou was also favored, after seeing Chu Jiayi, Wang Shou's body shook slightly, and he immediately recognized it, but his heart was full of hesitation.
Without him, although Wang Shou didn't know what was going on, he also understood that if he identified Chu Jiayi at this time, then Chu Jiayi would not end well.
Thinking of Chu Jiayi's past favor to himself, how could Wang Shou be willing to identify it?
However, another Xichang fan seemed to be aware of Wang Shou's thoughts, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Shou's head, twisted Wang Shou's head to the other side, and said coldly: "I can tell you, not only are you identifying today, you look at that side, that person is also from the original Gong'an Palace, I think you also know him." It's okay for you to make trouble and lie, there are other people who tell the truth, but when you lie, you have to think about your wife and children, although you were implicated and imprisoned by King Gong'an, there is nothing to be afraid of, but your wife and children still have to live, right? ”
Wang Shou raised his eyes and looked, and sure enough, on the other side of the road at this time, there was another subordinate of the former Gong'an Palace, who was escorted by two Xichang fans, and was pointing at Chu Jiayi.
Seeing this scene, Wang Shou sighed secretly, and then thought of the mother-in-law and children at home, and felt even more desolate in his heart, thinking: "Miss, it's me Wang Shou I'm sorry for you." ”
Thinking like this, Wang Shou finally said in a low voice: "Yes, she is Zhu Jiayi, the adopted daughter of Prince Gong'an, formerly known as Chu Jiayi. ”
Hearing Wang Shou's answer, the two Xichang fans glanced at each other, and a smug smile appeared on their faces.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
said that after Chu Jiayi returned to Zhao's mansion, she didn't stay, and came to the small kitchen in Zhao's mansion specially used to make pastries, preparing to make osmanthus cakes for Zhao Junchen to eat at night.
However, just beginning to prepare, a Zhao Mansion chef with a bloated body and a fat face has already found Chu Jiayi.
This cook, named Zhou Lihua, is also an old man in Zhao Mansion, and Chu Jiayi has been taken care of by her a lot these days.
"Jiayi! Jiayi! Are you there? Zhou Lihua shouted loudly and came to the small kitchen, looking anxious.
Chu Jiayi knew that although this Zhou Lihua had a terrible face, she was a good person, and she had a good impression of getting along these days, and when she saw Zhou Lihua so anxious, she hurriedly greeted her and asked softly, "Sister Zhou, what's wrong?" But what happened? ”
Zhou Lihua grabbed Chu Jiayi's shoulder and asked, "I heard that yesterday the master sent someone to ask you for a recipe, and you refused?" ”
Chu Jiayi nodded stunned, looking at Zhou Lihua suspiciously, not knowing what was going on.
Zhou Lihua saw Chu Jiayi nodding, but she showed a worried look, and said hurriedly: "Master, he just said that he wanted to see you!" Jiayi, could it be that you refused to give the master a recipe yesterday and offended the master? Ay! Jiayi, when you see the lord in a while, you must be careful to speak, don't make the lord angry again, although the lord's reputation outside is not very good, but the people in the house are quite lenient on weekdays, you beg the lord well, the lord may not embarrass you! Hey, don't say I say you're ......."
Zhou Lihua chattered a lot, but Chu Jiayi didn't listen to it.
She only knew that Zhao Junchen was finally going to see herself! (To be continued.) Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
