Chapter 239: The Pear Garden Discussion
In the sixth elder brother's mansion, an old man was surrounded by a group of troupes.
The old man was dressed in shabby linen clothes, and his white beard looked dignified, and he sat on top of the main hall.
Even a person with the status of the sixth elder brother can only stand aside and wait quietly.
The old man had a kind face and a kind face, but in those eyes, he was as keen as an eagle, and he was always staring at the drama of singing a little song on the stage.
"I can't sing well."
The old man shook his head and sighed, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with this.
"Old gentleman." The sixth elder brother still looked cold, but in front of the old man, he was obviously much more humble.
"This is already the third opera garden I have found, you know, there are only a few famous characters in this capital, besides, your vision is high, it is difficult to enter your eyes, but it should be, it's just ......"
"Just what?" The old man's eyes widened angrily, staring at the sixth elder brother tightly.
The sixth elder brother only felt that his scalp was numb and uncomfortable.
There are very few people who give him such a strong oppressive force, and in front of the sixth elder brother, even the emperor, it is difficult to give him such a deterrent.
What the hell is going on?
The sixth elder brother muttered in his heart, he was dignified as the sixth elder brother, and now he would be frightened by this unknown old man.
"You've been inviting me for a while, haven't you?"
Indeed, before talking to the emperor in the Qianxin Palace last time, the sixth elder brother found the person in front of him.
At the beginning, the sixth elder brother didn't take it seriously, and he was just a little curious about what everyone said.
How can an old man in his old age have such great ability, what a clever calculation, the sixth elder brother has always only trusted himself.
But when the old man said that Qi Yuan had found out that the emperor was hiding in the village in the north of the city, the sixth elder brother had changed a little.
The sixth elder brother naturally knew about Yin Qingqi, but he didn't know anything about what the emperor did back then.
And the old man easily found out about these, and after guessing that Qi Yuan's temperament would soon go to the village to investigate, the sixth elder brother sent someone suspiciously and sneaked into the village.
Sure enough, Qi Yuan was really there, and he also brought General Xue Tanxue.
This also made the sixth elder brother, who had always been suspicious, begin to trust the old man's words.
"Fourth Master." The sixth elder brother lowered his head, "I don't know what the fourth master commands?" ”
The old man known as the "Fourth Master" is the fourth of the only surviving people as the sixth said before.
And the fourth child has always been known for his ferocity and viciousness in the palace.
When the fourth child was still in the harem, others investigated through the maid aunt to find out the truth indirectly, while the fourth child tied people up, and the cruelty of the means made countless concubines tremble.
The concubines also knew that there was such an organization in the harem, and everyone was in danger, so they had no intention of doing those despicable and obscene things.
So the fourth child has always been the emperor's most favored courtier until after that incident.
The fourth master's sister, after being raided by General Xue, the emperor's attitude towards him also changed.
On the one hand, the emperor was afraid that he had leaked the news and affected the majesty of the imperial power, but on the other hand, the emperor was always worried that if General Xue really rebelled, he really couldn't make it, because of just a woman, the emperor advised him to calm things down.
Thinking of this, a trace of murderous intent crossed his eyes, and the sixth elder brother took two steps back in some fright.
In the palace, the sixth elder brother is not afraid that he will hurt people, besides, with his age, his body is not as good as before, and he is full of confidence that he can take it down within three moves, but this old man's means are more than that.
Just after the fourth master came here, along with the situation in the palace, it has improved.
"Then Ji Xuan, did you find it?" The old man's eyes were cold, he lowered his head and stopped watching the play on the stage, and took a sip of the tea in his hand.
"Also...... Not yet. The sixth elder brother's face was gloomy, not only Ji Xuan, but now even Siniang didn't know his whereabouts, and his own people searched in the capital for several days, but they didn't find any news.
"What about Dong Yu?" The old man raised his eyes and asked.
"Dong Yu is now in Yangzhou City, saying that he wants to avoid the limelight, I think Siniang's disappearance has something to do with him, but now, it is not convenient to fall out with him."
"Huh." The old man smiled contemptuously, "What's inconvenient, don't you dare?" ”
The sixth elder brother's face was embarrassed, and he was very embarrassed to stand there.
"But also, Dong Yu will definitely have a role in the future, let him compete with the prince, and it is also a good thing for you to benefit."
"It's just that beware of being taken advantage of, in the end, the bamboo basket will be empty." The old man touched the wall of the cup and said thoughtfully.
"...... you mean?"
"Since I asked you to hand over Siniang to Dong Yu, naturally I have a reason, but Dong Yu is very likely to take this opportunity to defect to Qi Yuan and shake out your affairs."
"Sir, I don't know anything."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Since you know that Dong Yu has a high chance of letting Siniang go, why do you still let me play such a play?"
"What kind of ordinary family do you think that Siniang is?" The old man snorted coldly, "To be able to open such a big store in the capital, naturally it is not for nothing, the person behind her is Qi Yuan, you are not unaware, the reason why you should hurry up and transfer this scourge is that we can't kill him for the time being, and second, we want to splash this basin of dirty water on his head." ”
"Which Cheng wants to ......" the old man slammed the teacup on the ground with a "snap", "You actually let that Ji Heng escape?" A fireworks woman, how could she believe it, just give the silver, you, you. ”
The sixth elder brother held back his anger, but he didn't dare to speak out at all.
The people around watched silently, and also stepped aside, not daring to interject at this time.
"That'...... Sir, what shall we do now? ”
"What should I do?" A hint of gloom appeared in the old man's eyes, "Qi Yuan should still be in Jinghong Tower at this time, so let's take that prospective princess." ”
"The crown princess? You say, Yin Qingqi? The sixth elder brother frowned, "But old man, after all, this is the inner courtyard of the Deep Palace, and it is a little too ostentatious to go to the East Palace to arrest people casually." ”
"Nope." The old man shook his head, "That Yin Qingqi, as far as I know, the relationship between the two is stumbling, she must still be in the Qingmu Palace now, although there are many people, but it is not impossible to do it." ”
"And what's next?" The sixth elder brother knew that the old man would definitely have the next countermeasures.
"Since Dong Yu is not at home, let's find an opportunity to give him a big gift."
The old man smiled, his face full of cunning and insidiousness.
"A big gift? Do you mean Yin Qingqi? Do you want me to send Yin Qingqi to the Dong Mansion, and then send someone to inform Qi Yuan? ”
As if he had an enlightenment, the sixth elder brother admired the old man for calculating everything.
"Do you remember, there are still our people in the East Palace?"
The sixth elder brother suddenly remembered that the old gentleman had asked his subordinates to sew a crescent moon on his clothes.
