Chapter 232: Undercurrents are surging
"I only heard that a young and beautiful little maid who wants to go to the city to find a living, maybe, join the family of a rich merchant and become a concubine or something; You are so old, and it is very suspicious that you came to the city to make a living. ”
Siniang just smiled, "This master, you don't know anything." ”
"The slave maid is in Yangzhou City, there was originally a relative, and now this relative's family needs a subordinate, and he doesn't do anything else on weekdays, just wash clothes, cook and so on, you say, I'm idle and idle, no, I found such a place, settled down first, and then left."
As she spoke, Siniang quietly stuffed a piece of silver into his hand.
The official raised his eyebrows.
"That's right, people, you can't be idle, otherwise you will all be wasted."
"But Yangzhou has not been peaceful these days, you have to be careful, remember, once you see any suspicious person, wearing an unfamiliar face of silk and satin, you must tell me." The official's words are for Xiao Er.
Xiao Er also nodded one after another.
I don't know why Du Jiang would spread this kind of news, but I still thought that Siniang would still be wearing that conspicuous clothes, swaying in Yangzhou City in the blue sky and daylight?
Siniang secretly sneered in her heart, these officials, no wonder they can't make a big deal, they are all brainless existences.
The urgent question now is how to send the letter to the current prince, Xiao Er's side, it doesn't seem to be safe, if it is really seen by someone with a heart, I am afraid it will be used as an introduction and take this opportunity to make a fuss.
And Chang Lei has been living in a fixed place, it is difficult to contact him, as the connector between the prince and Jinghonglou, Chang Lei naturally needs to constantly hide his identity and change his address.
Now it seems that he can only send letters to Jinghong Building.
With the prince's temperament, he must have already imposed martial law on Jinghonglou now, and he will send heavy troops to guard it, and such a big deal is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so it can't be said anyway.
Siniang returned to the house and thought carefully about countermeasures......
Du Fu.
Du Jiang was anxiously spinning in circles in the courtyard.
He was worried that if the people of the sixth elder brother took the first step and had already solved the people who had escaped from Beijing, not only Dong Yu would be blamed, but he would also be killed.
Therefore, Du Jiang mobilized all the officers and soldiers in the city to strictly guard against death, and he was sure to find Siniang's whereabouts.
Of course, the worst way to show off is that Siniang is dead, or she didn't follow Dong Yu's method at all.
This is beneficial to Du Jiang, a dead person will never say it, even if the sixth elder brother or the prince finds out that he and Dong Yu are secretly making trouble, there is no evidence.
"Sir." The person who came looked hurried and hurried into the courtyard.
"Sir, I didn't find it, but I searched the taverns, streets, and lodging places in the whole city, and I didn't see any suspicious people."
"Ugh." Du Jiang shook his head, Dong Yu just roughly described the appearance of Siniang to himself, and he didn't even have a portrait at all, so blindly looking for a needle in a haystack in Yangzhou City.
"Go, bring pen and ink, I want to write a letter to General Dong."
Betraying Dong Yu was originally just one of Du Jiang's plans, but if he didn't even have the capital to sell, he could only ask Dong Yu for forgiveness.
Du Jiang, a prefect who spent money to buy, of course, relied on Dong Yu, naturally listened to him at will, and also knew a lot of things about Dong Yu, but things were developing more and more wrong, Dong Yu actually rebelled in Shuzhou, although the court didn't seem to know that it was Dong Yu's person, but it was obviously targeted by the prince.
Du Jiang also had the idea of self-preservation, so he wanted to return Siniang to the prince, or, the sixth elder brother.
In this palace, there are people who are stronger than Dong Yu, Dong Yu is so arrogant and domineering, I'm afraid he won't live long.
Du Jiang shook his head, this person is brave and unscrupulous, it is better to buy a prefect by himself, I am afraid that he will implicate himself in the end, and it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible.
When Dong Yu received the letter, he was furious.
"Bastard things, they're all a bunch of rubbish, and you can't even kill a woman."
Dong Yu fell, and a group of subordinates around him shrank in the corner, not daring to speak, and when he calmed down, he stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for him.
"Master, at the beginning, why didn't you just ...... it?"
"Nonsense!" Dong Yu blew his beard angrily and glared, "If I could do it, I would have done it a long time ago, do you know that before I took Siniang, the people of the sixth elder brother were staring at me?" If I really let Siniang disappear, when the time comes, won't I be the one who is in trouble? If Prince Qi Yuan finds it out and finds it here, what should I do? ”
"But if you let Siniang out of the city, will it be okay?" The subordinate hesitated a little and asked hesitantly.
This person is Dong Yu's military advisor, and many things are his ideas for Dong Yu, but this time, he also muttered in his heart, not understanding what Dong Yu meant.
"Hmph." Dong Yu snorted coldly, "This sixth elder brother, if you want to use me as a gunman, I just need to release Siniang out of the city, everything that happened can be said to have nothing to do with me, and the reason why I let him go to Yangzhou to find Du Jiang is to get rid of the disaster, stay away from the capital, and not be suspected, and secondly, I want to let the sixth elder brother see, I, Dong Yu, am not easy to mess with!" ”
"But the old man ......"
"There's nothing, the sixth elder brother is too arrogant, Lao Tzu has the power of soldiers and horses, are you still afraid that a little powerless elder brother will not succeed?"
"Master, don't you think that these days, the capital is quiet?"
Dong Yu knew that since the murder in Jinghonglou, martial law began in the entire capital, but not only did Qi Yuan not make any moves, but even the sixth elder brother did not react at all.
"I think, the sixth elder brother should have guessed that you did it, but now, I don't know what he is thinking, you have already eliminated the sixth elder brother's people, no matter what, he should ask you for an explanation, right? Besides, people ran away......"
"Why does it have anything to do with me?" Dong Yu was angry, "I haven't been to the place he said at all, what's more, what does the death of his subordinates have to do with me?" Presumably, Siniang called someone, killed them all, and then fled. ”
"Oh, sir, what do you mean..."The military advisor came to his senses, "Boiled this matter down to a fight between the crown prince and the sixth elder brother, and then sit back and reap the benefits?" ”
"You've finally got the hang of it." Dong Yu's face gradually had a smile, but it also gradually became gloomy. "You go and inquire, see what Sixth Elder Brother and Qi Yuan have been doing recently, inquire about it, come back and tell me, I feel a little uneasy."
"Yes, sir."
The military advisor was ordered to go out, leaving Dong Yu to think secretly in the room, looking at the letter in his hand in a daze.
"Is this Du Jiang really reliable?"
Dong Yu's eyes showed a killing intent, and in this situation, he couldn't trust anyone.
