As the night deepened, candles flickered in the halls of the palace, and the early spring wind carried a chill.

A man wrapped in black clothes and a face scarf, with a golden shining sign around his waist, shook it with his movements, jumped down from the eaves, and suddenly appeared on Fang Jizhong's side.

Fang Jizhong raised his eyes and glanced at it, his face was unusually calm.

"You're here?"

The man nodded, and Fang Jizhong turned sideways to face this person, looking up and down.

"Follow our family, Your Majesty hasn't gone to bed yet."

Saying that Fang Jizhong was in front, the man in black was behind, and followed Fang Jizhong into the inner hall, what was the emperor looking at, only the emperor was alone in the room, hearing the footsteps, he raised his eyes and looked, waved his hand and said:

"Come closer."

Fang Jizhong took a few steps back and closed the doors of the hall, and the inner hall was empty at this time.

The man in black knelt on the ground, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

"Get up, but what's the matter?"

The indistinguishable voices of the men and women in black sounded again.

"Yes, yesterday King Xian sent someone to send a box of gifts to Zhou Yuanju, which was a box of pearls the size of pigeon eggs, as well as a box of gold ingots, this matter King Xian deliberately let all the people in the capital know, of course, there is also the canonization of the imperial concubine."

The Emperor nodded, put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes to the kneeling man on the ground, and raised the corners of his lips with a smile.

"You came late at night, and you just want to tell me this?"

The man in black hurriedly clenched his fists, and his posture of kneeling on one knee did not change.

"Also, the subordinates have ascertained that in Baiyan Village in Miyun, the locals are not just called by this name, because in the village, there is another village, but this inner village is guarded all year round, and there are some disaster victims or orphans without fathers and mothers.

These people are trained to be killers or meticulous works, all over the major mansions in the capital, even the palace attendants have their people, and the guards in the village are very strict, even if the subordinates want to enter, it is difficult not to alarm people, and this village was originally expanded from the courtyard of the Chen family's ancestral house. ”

The Emperor stood up, paced back and forth, and then stopped in front of the man in black.

"Get up and speak, do you mean that this village is indeed Chen Qing's?"

The man in black shook his head, "On the surface, this is Chen Qing's ancestral house, but the Chen family has been divided, and the Tianhu Zhuangzi is assigned to Chen Wenyao according to the registration, and Chen Wenyao is handed over to the housekeeper to take care of, but the housekeeper has long been bought by Chen Wenchi, although this place nominally belongs to Chen Wenyao of the Chen family, but in fact it is controlled by Chen Wenchi in the second room." ”

The emperor stared at the man in black's eyes, walked slowly in front of him, and grabbed the man in black's collar, as if he wanted to see something, but the man in black was still the same as before, without any waves.

The Emperor let go of his hand in frustration, raised his head and sighed.

"The Chen family's wishful thinking is really powerful, this game of chess has been bloody, there is no need to investigate this matter, I already know the reason, you carefully stare at Zhu Yunmo and Zhou Heng, I want to know who they want to help? And do they really want to make money? Can the theater in Beishan be better than the drama in the palace? ”

The man in black hurriedly bowed down.

"Your Majesty doesn't know anything, my subordinates have carefully counted that Zhu Yunmo and Zhou Heng's ability to collect money is amazing, especially this Zhou Heng, not to mention the harvest of the kind of golden potatoes and corn they newly planted, just the Rejuvenation Hall, the string of incense and the wine workshop, the monthly income of these three things is eye-popping."

As he spoke, the man in black took out a piece of paper from his bosom and put his hands above his head.

The emperor frowned slightly, walked closer, unfolded the paper, and immediately gasped when he saw the numbers.

"That's a month's income?"

The man in black nodded, "Yes, this is a month's income, followed by the net profit minus the cost, after all, the pharmaceutical workshop and the glass workshop are their own, so the cost control is excellent, such an income is comparable to the tax silver of a low-class province if calculated annually." ”

The Emperor narrowed his eyes, took a closer look at the data, folded the paper, and held it in his hand.

"Zhu Yunmo came back from Datong, but what has changed, or has their accounts changed?"

The man in black was stunned, and then bowed down.

"I haven't found any changes for the time being, the money on their books, after Zhu Yunmo came back from Datong, there are more, and the subordinates have calculated that it should be some medicines taken away before, and the rest of the money is gathered in Beishan, I don't know if there are any other actions, but these are all around a few businesses."

The emperor looked at Fang Jizhong with a hint of doubt on his face.

"Kitayama? Last time they took the Queen Mother to Beishan, didn't they say that they went to listen to the play, could it be that some opera troupe was formed there? ”

Fang Jizhong came over first.

"It is said that it is not an ordinary drama troupe, these people were found by Zhou Yuan, as for the book "Peach Blossom Fan" he wrote before, there is no kung fu in it, but it is more real and beautiful, and the Queen Mother is full of praise."

The man in black was very indifferent, thought for a while and said carefully:

"The book "Peach Blossom Fan" has been read by my subordinates, the story is indeed ups and downs, telling the story of truth and the world's opinions, unlike many popular operas, it is very heartfelt, and it is a masterpiece."

The emperor looked at the two people in front of him, raised his hand and asked them to get up.

"I've heard that they're going to start performing externally, when?"

The man in black stood up and clenched his fists and said:

"On the first day of March, the performance officially began, and the rare bird and beast park, fishing garden and farmhouse also began to open their doors at the same time."

The emperor rubbed his hands, raised his eyebrows, and looked interested.

"I said that I looked at it in the past, I didn't expect Zhu Yunmo and Zhou Heng to be able to play, but if you want to play, just play, isn't it just to earn money, you can earn their skills, as long as you don't provoke political affairs, as for the contact with King Xian...... Go with the third child. ”

The man in black lowered his hand, paused slightly, and then got down on one knee with one knee.

"Please ask Your Majesty for medicine."

The emperor lowered his eyes slightly and smiled in a state of realization.

"Ha, I forgot, it turned out that the day was over, Fang Banban hurriedly gave him the antidote, you can retreat together."

Fang Jizhong said yes, and the man in black also bowed down and took a few steps back before going out together.

The emperor looked at the direction in which they disappeared, not knowing what he was thinking, and a trace of apology seemed to flash on his indifferent face, but the speed of disappearing was too fast, even if someone was there, it was difficult to see.

The man in black and Fang Jizhong walked out of the dormitory, walked to an empty room in the side hall, and saw that there was no one around, Fang Jizhong took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to the man in black, and the man in black bowed down and thanked him.

Fang Jizhong stretched out his hand and compared two fingers, put them in the palm of the man in black, and then pulled his sleeve, and then smiled as if he was doing business.

"Our family will take the first step, and we must do our best to explain the things Your Majesty."

As soon as he said that, Fang Jizhong turned around and walked out of the side hall, and the man in black was holding the porcelain vase, as if it was about to be crushed, and quickly hid it in front of his chest.

Looking around, he jumped out of the window, landed directly on the eaves, and leaped from one hall to another.

Although the palace was heavily guarded, the path taken by the man in black was almost unguarded, and he went out of the palace wall and over several courtyards, and finally landed in a garden.

As soon as he landed, he heard a cat meow, and the figure in black fell directly into the pavilion in the garden, stretched out his hand and pulled it on his body, and the black shirt was instantly turned over and slid down the hem, and the color inside the shirt had become peachy pink, and the veil and turban on his face also dissipated instantly.

Several patrolling guards, wearing armor and with a crisp sound, walked here, saw the peach pink, and hurriedly saluted the pavilion.

"My subordinates have seen Miss."

The man waved his hand, and all the guards got up and continued to inspect, and this man, standing in the pavilion for a moment, saw that everyone had disappeared, and then returned to a small building not far from the pavilion.

Falling into the room, he quickly closed the doors and windows, and then put his hand into his chest, and his fingers trembled and took out the bottle, of course, the bottle is still the same bottle, and it has not changed for many years.

Closing his eyes slightly, he seemed to be able to feel the feeling of two fingers in the palm of Fang Jizhong's palm gently pressing against the palm, it seemed that Fang Jizhong did it on purpose.

Open the lid, put your hand in the palm of your hand, and pour it gently, two round black pills fell on the palm of your hand, it was really two.

The man's fingers twitched, and he quickly put the pill back into the bottle, holding on to the dresser and gasping for breath.

Staring at herself in the bronze mirror, gently stroking her face with a trembling hand, a tear slid down her cheek, annoyed and painful, I don't know what kind of feeling hit her heart.

At this time, if Zhou Heng and Zhu Yunmo were there, they would definitely know who the person in the bronze mirror was.
