Mao Lingfeng shook his head and checked the ground again, but still found nothing. She stood in the middle, looking around, there were no windows, no secret doors, could she not fly? No, there must be something else that hasn't been found. Suddenly, she saw a dozen boxes of treasury silver piled up in the corner of the wall.

Mao Lingfeng's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the box and said to Zhiqi and Li Chengyong: "Move these boxes of silver over there, Zhiqi and Li Chengyong hurriedly moved a few boxes of silver to other places." Mao Lingfeng squatted down to take a closer look, and found that the soil under the box had obviously been moved and then filled back. So he knew it in his heart, and quietly moved the box back and put it away. I opened the treasury gate and took a closer look. Took Zhiqi and Li Chengyong around the back of the treasury. Look at the yard separated by only two walls and an alley.

Mao Lingfeng already understood in his heart, so he took Zhiqi and Li Chengyong back to the mansion, changed into men's clothes, and came to a restaurant on the edge of the treasury with Zhiqi Li Chengyong, sat on the elegant seat by the window, ordered some wine and food, and watched the small courtyard while eating, and sat for an afternoon, but no one came in or out.

Mao Lingfeng ordered someone to settle the bill, and a guy from the restaurant had already stepped forward, Mao Lingfeng ordered Zhiqi to take out ten taels of silver and put it on Zhuo and said: "Trouble the little brother to settle the bill, and the surplus will be rewarded to the little brother." ”

When the guy saw it, he was overjoyed, "Thank you for the reward, what does the guest officer do." ”

Mao Lingfeng pondered for a moment and asked, "Dare to ask the little brother if he knows whose yard is opposite, I don't know if he is willing to sell it." ”

The guy smiled and said, "The guest officer is coming from out of town!" ”

Mao Lingfeng smiled slightly and said: "I just entered Beijing, I want to buy a yard to do some business, I don't know if the yard opposite can be sold." ”

When the guy heard this, he smiled and said, "I don't know, that yard won't sell, and even if it does, you can't afford it, because it's too expensive." ”

Mao Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, "What is the reason for this, the little brother might as well be more careful, after speaking, he glanced at Zhiqi, and Zhiqi took out a few pieces of broken silver and put them on Zhuozi." Mao Lingfeng said with a smile: "If you delay the little brother's work, you can accept the silver, and tell me in detail about the relevant things in that courtyard, what is your method." ”

The man looked at Zhuozi's few pieces of broken silver, which was more than two taels, and it was worth half a year's salary, and he smiled, put the silver into his arms, sat next to him and said: "This yard used to be a silk business, but after being bought for 50,000 taels of silver five years ago, it no longer did business, and closed the door all day, except for a few strong men who lived there, and no one else came in and out, and occasionally saw a carriage coming to transport a box of items away, and there was no movement, and even those strong men did not come out. So we don't know who bought it or what it was used for. ”

Mao Lingfeng's eyes lit up, "Little brother is saying that this yard stopped doing business after being bought five years ago." ”

"That's right!" The guy said regretfully: "I don't know what they think, such a good shop is empty there and doesn't do business, how can you stay at home every day, mysterious and secretive." ”

Mao Lingfeng asked some more questions, but when he saw that he couldn't ask anything, he got up and went home. It is clear that someone bought the courtyard five years ago, dug a tunnel in the courtyard to the treasury, and stole 500,000 taels of silver. Store there first, and then slowly transport it away in batches. Now as long as it is clear who bought this small courtyard, then it is clear who stole the treasury silver.

As soon as Mao Lingfeng returned to the mansion, he heard that Zhao Sicheng came to visit, and it was the first time that Zhao Sicheng came to the door since he moved out of the palace.

Mao Lingfeng hurriedly walked to the living room, and saw that Zhao Sicheng had been waiting for a long time, pacing back and forth in the living room. As soon as he saw Mao Lingfeng, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Mao Lingfeng returned the salute and asked, "The second cousin is not in the palace, why do you want to come to me?" ”

Zhao Sicheng smiled slightly, "My cousin has seen me, Sicheng has just not seen him for a few days, I miss it tightly, I came to take a look, I didn't expect it, my cousin's affairs are busy, but I am disturbed." ”

Mao Lingfeng shook his head, "I'm not busy, I have nothing to do, pick up things and pass the time." ”

"Oh!" Zhao Sicheng asked cautiously: "Has there ever been an eyebrow in that case?" ”

Mao Lingfeng shook his head and said: "After five years, there is no trace, if you want to find out, it is so easy." ”

Zhao Sicheng smiled and said: "Anyway, it's an old case, and I'm not in a hurry, I specially brought a special steamed chestnut cake with osmanthus sugar today." The fresh osmanthus chestnuts have just been picked and just made for you to taste. ”

Mao Lingfeng picked up the pastry and smelled the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, which matched with the chestnuts, complementing each other, soft and glutinous and fragrant. After taking a bite, he praised: "Fragrant but not thick, sweet but not greasy, glutinous but not sticky." What a delicate pastry. "Ate a few more bites.

Zhao Sicheng raised his eyebrows and said, "If my cousin likes to eat, I'll ask them to make more next time." ”

Mao Lingfeng waved his hand and said: "I don't pay attention to food, don't worry about me, does my second cousin have something to do with me?" ”

Zhao Sicheng was slightly stunned and said, "It's boring to stay in the palace, how about talking to you about a game?" ”

Mao Lingfeng smiled, "My cousin is not afraid of losing face, and my cousin should be accompanied." ”

Zhao Sicheng's face turned red, "My cousin can't show mercy to his subordinates and save some face for the foolish brother." ”

Mao Lingfeng smiled, "Playing chess is like a battlefield, you can't be soft, if you want others to give in, then he is not worthy of being my opponent." ”

Zhao Sicheng sneered: "In the past few days, I have studied a few more chess books, and my chess skills have improved slightly. Please teach my cousin! ”

Mao Lingfeng made a gesture, Zhao Sicheng was unceremonious, picked up Bai Zi and walked first, but after a few steps, Bai Zi was gradually unable to perform, and every step was extremely difficult. Sweat appeared on Zhao Sicheng's forehead, and his brows became tighter and tighter.

Mao Lingfeng looked relaxed, serving a cup, sipping fragrant tea, and coming easily, falling like a fly. After two hours of hard work, Zhao Sicheng finally gave up and admitted defeat. Grandly sighed, "My cousin is a tricky chess player, and my foolish brother thinks that he is not an opponent, so I will go back and study it well, and then come to ask for advice." After saying goodbye, he turned to leave.

Mao Lingfeng saw Zhao Sicheng go away, and sighed in his heart, the imperial power was disputed, and he didn't know who the bottom flower would be.

If Zhao Size seizes the imperial power, Zhao Sicheng may still have a glimmer of life, if Zhao Size is in a high position, Zhao Size will have no reason to survive, and when the power of Zhao State falls, and his relatives are in power, I don't know what the chaos will become. At that time, it will still be the people who suffer.

"What is my cousin thinking?" Zhao Size's abrupt voice came from behind him. Mao Lingfeng was startled, and when he looked back, he saw that Zhao Ize was also holding a food box and standing on the left side.

Mao Lingfeng glanced at the food box in Zhao Size's hand and said with a smile: "What you are holding in your hand is also osmanthus chestnut cake." ”

"How do you know?" Zhao Size blurted out and laughed casually, "I think the second brother was already one step ahead of me just now." ”

Mao Lingfeng nodded and said, "A box of food, who is early and who is later, what can it represent?" Nothing. Come, sit down and speak. ”

Zhao Size's originally lost look perked up when he heard Mao Lingfeng's words, "Cousin really thinks so?" ”

"If you don't think so, then what do you think I should think, is it for the sake of some things outside the body, and ignore Zhao Guo's country." Mao Lingfeng is funny.

"For the foolish brother with the heart of a villain, the belly of a gentleman, no, the belly of a cousin. The foolish brother has apologized to you. After speaking, he made a long gesture.

Mao Lingfeng smiled, took Zhao Size's food box, and said: "It's rare that you two brothers, send me delicious food in three days and two days, I have gained a lot of weight in the past few days in Zhao Kingdom, and if I continue like this, when I go back, the prince should dislike me." ”

"It's okay, if the prince dislikes it, then it's good to live in Zhao Kingdom, and I'll support you." Let the prince regret going! Zhao Size quipped.

Mao Lingfeng glanced at him, "It's better to save your life first!" ”

Zhao Size bowed to Mao Lingfeng, and said, "It's just asking my cousin to help me." ”

Mao Lingfeng saw that his expression was serious, "Please tell my cousin about the garden." ”

After speaking, the two walked to the garden pavilion, Mao Lingfeng glanced around, and saw that the surroundings were empty, and others could not hide nearby, so he waved his hand and sat opposite Zhao Si.

Mao Lingfeng said: "Cousin, please have something to say." ”

Zhao Size sighed and said, "My cousin took over the Yanzheng case, after a few days of checking, what clues do you have?" ”

Mao Lingfeng smiled slightly, "Could it be that my cousin is involved and wants to ask for mercy and let my cousin let him go." ”

Zhao Size shook his head, "I really have someone involved, but I don't intercede for him, because he doesn't need it." ”

"Who is he?" Mao Lingfeng asked amusedly.

"Solemnly." Zhao Size looked serious.

"What? Yan is your person. Mao Lingfeng said in surprise.

Zhao Size nodded, solemnly afraid that others would drag me into the water, so he did not hesitate to touch the pillar and die. I feel very guilty about this, Yan is a good official, he has done his duty, and he has never taken a penny from the treasury. He was thrifty, and he also took out his little Fenglu to help the poor. I met him on the street once, and we had a good conversation, but he didn't know that I was the crown prince of the court, but only an ordinary son, and persuaded him to join the court and enter politics. Later, when I revealed my identity to him, he expressed his willingness to follow me. Of course, no third person knows about this. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yan also followed Yan Zheng to get together. Leaving the orphan girl to sell the green building and fall into the dust, it was my negligence, and I also instructed my subordinates to properly protect the orphans, but I don't know that the subordinates have done this. Not mine.

"It turned out that the prince secretly helped me, no wonder, and then the old mother didn't dare to use force on me! And he looked at me differently. Yan Rui walked slowly to the other side of the garden.

Zhao Size bowed to Yan Rui and said, "The subordinates are not doing things well, and the girl has suffered an unjustified disaster, please forgive the girl." ”

Yan Rui hurriedly returned the salute, how can a lowly person be worthy of the prince's gift. Speaking of which, the little woman still wants to thank the prince for his kindness. If it weren't for the prince who sent someone to tell the old mother, how could Yan Rui keep her innocence and get rid of her cheapness. The little girl originally wondered why she was still struggling with each other the first night, but the next day she greeted her with a smile and said that she would not force me in the future.

Zhao Size waved his hand and said, "The girl was originally a young lady from the official family, and when Lord Yan and Mrs. Yan had an accident, they just went out to run errands, and when I returned to Beijing, the matter was a foregone conclusion." I can't go back to heaven. I am ashamed of you.
