The inside of the inner room is as simple as the outside, a 'bed' is a neatly folded quilt, and a one-man high wardrobe, there are a few pots of chrysanthemum 'flowers' in the room, and there are a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall as outside, the room is not big, but after the old man brought us in, we did not find a single figure.

Before I could ask, the shopkeeper came to the closet, and the wardrobe slowly moved away with the promotion of the shopkeeper, revealing a 'door', it turned out to be a dark 'door', and the wardrobe only played a role in covering.

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and said, "Lord Lan, please, someone waiting for you is inside." ”

Lao Liu still wanted to go in first, but the shopkeeper stopped Lao Liu and said, "Only Lord Lan can see this person, you wait outside with the old man." ”

"That's not good, the safety of my family is important, I'm going to go first to see if it's safe." Lao Liu said unrelentingly.

"Hmph, Lord Lan, you are also the 'waiter' of Sanpin, are you still afraid that I am a bad old man?" The old man said with a sneer.

"Brother Liu, Brother Chen, don't go in, I don't think the shopkeeper has any malice, you wait for me outside."

When Liu saw me say this, he had no choice but to dodge away, and 'exposed' out of the dark 'door', I didn't say anything more, and went directly into the dark 'door', and after I entered, the shopkeeper moved the wardrobe back to its original position.

After entering the dark "door" is a two-foot-high dark passage, there are two lanterns lit in the dark passage, it seems a little "gloomy", the dark passage is wooden, it should be built when this building, deliberately left, I bent over, walked forward along the dark passage for more than ten zhang, and there was a "door", the "door" is hidden, "exposed" a slit, and the light shines out of the crack, I pushed open the "door", I didn't go in to look inside, only to see an old man sitting on a chair with his back to me, just when I considered not entering. The old man spoke: "Since you are here, come in, I know that our Lan family has no seeds." ”

I was already involuntary at this time, I had reached the 'door', not to go in is timid, no matter who he is, go in first to see, I entered the room, this room is larger than the original ones, the furnishings inside are also 'fine' a lot, what bookcases, bookcases have, I came to the old man is behind, asked: "Who is your Excellency, why do you pretend to be a god 'trick' ghost." ”

The old man stood up and turned around, I was startled when I saw it, isn't this Wang Qiang, the father-in-law of the celebrant who I saw in the Qianqing Palace that time. Seeing where I was stunned, Wang Qiang smiled and said, "Isn't it a surprise to Lord Lan." ”

I forcibly suppressed the doubts in my heart and asked, "Why are you here, Princess, do you have something to do with calling this official?" ”

"Come and sit down." Saying that, Wang Qiang turned around again to 'get' the tea on the coffee table, took a tea bowl that he had not used from the tea tray, scalded it with hot water for me, poured tea from the 'fine' purple sand teapot, and handed it to me sitting on the chair opposite.

"Lord Lan drink it, it's not poisonous." Saying that, Wang Qiang picked up his tea bowl and took a sip.

At this time, I will not show weakness, I also picked up the tea bowl and took a sip and said: "The prince is good for tea, and it is also good for Yaxing, it is not for tea to call this official so late." ”

"Yes, the old man called you for something, or I would have run out of the palace at the risk." Wang Qiang put down the tea bowl and looked at me and said.

"I don't have anything to do with you, and besides, this official is not under your jurisdiction, so if you ask your father-in-law something, just say it directly, don't play dumb riddles."

"Okay, the old man will say it directly, Lord Lan came out tonight and came to the Qinglou at the risk of being impeached, not to have fun, I know, what are you for." When Wang Qiang said this, he took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and I secretly clenched my fists, ready to fight hard once I said it, and beat him down first.

"You let go of your fist, the old man has no malice." Wang Qiang didn't even raise his head to know that I clenched my fists, and I said embarrassedly: "Princess, just talk about things, is it the emperor's intention to call me, or your meaning." ”

"Lan Yunjie, I wasn't sent by the emperor, if the emperor sent me, where would I have tea with you here, your father had an accident, do you know what the reason is?" I was secretly relieved when I heard Wang Qiang say that it wasn't sent by the emperor, as long as it wasn't sent by the emperor, it doesn't matter what your purpose is.

"I don't know what you're talking about, my father has died a long time ago, and the prince is 'wrong'."

"Lan Yunjie, let me tell you, I am the person in charge of the Lan family in the palace, then Chen Jiu caught just some pawns, but the old man was negligent and underestimated this Chen Jiu, so that he would expose our Lan family."

Hearing Wang Qiang say that he was from the Lan family, I was taken aback and asked, "You are from the Lan family, how is this possible, why didn't my father say it." "At this time, it doesn't make any sense for me to hide it, whether Wang Qiang is from the Lan family or not, everyone knows it in such detail, it shows that it is impossible for me not to admit it, it is better to simply admit it and see what he says.

"Yes, I am an authentic Lan family, except for your father, no one in the Lan family knows about my existence." Wang Qiang said and took my tea bowl and poured me full of water.

"Then who are you, my father should have told me, why did he never say that you are from our Lan family."

"Who am I, for so many years, I have forgotten that I am Wang Qiang, or Lan Jiaxin, it's a long story, I'll make a long story short. Your father should have told you about the vision that our Lan family's ancestor appeared back then. ”

I nodded, in understanding.

Wang Qiang continued: "After that vision appeared at that time, your grandfather and I were very Agitated, this is a good omen for our Lan family to reign in the world, but Mr. Feng Shui said that within three generations, I discussed it with your grandfather, and felt that our generation is impossible, only to pin hope on the next generation, but our strength is not enough to achieve great things, in order for our Lan family to take the throne, we decided to make a bet, that is, I enter the palace, so that I can get close to the emperor, your grandfather is developing power outside, I am developing in the palace, and when the time is ripe, we can cooperate with the outside and win the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop。 So I pretended to be sick and died, and came to the palace, but unfortunately your grandfather went early. This burden has fallen on your father again, alas. ”

Wang Qiang sighed and continued: "In the future, I will gradually gain power in the palace, so I will take care of your father and go to Jinyiwei, which is not bad, and your father is also very competitive to achieve the same knowledge of Jinyiwei, but at this time we feel that the power is still not good, in order to pretend to increase our strength, we discussed letting you learn from my methods back then." I also came to the palace, I saw you on the rise, and I was very happy in my heart, I hope to see you in my lifetime to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but unfortunately this trick of the old Jiu has 'disrupted' our deployment. ”

After Wang Qiang finished speaking, I quickly knelt down and kowtowed to say goodbye: "Uncle and grandfather will go up again and be worshiped by my grandson." "I now know that the Lan family has invested so much money for this throne, and they did not hesitate to enter the palace.

Wang Qiang stretched out his hand to help me up and said, "Get up, seeing that you are so good, I deserve this knife, sit down first, we will discuss the rescue of your father." ”

"Uncle and grandfather, there is still something unclear about my grandson, please ask my uncle and grandfather to solve my grandson's 'confusion'."

"Okay. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask. ”

"Uncle and grandpa, how did you know that I would come here, how can there be your secret room in this Qinglou, and where is my father now."

"Well, uncle and grandfather will tell you the truth, among the four eunuchs sent by the emperor in your family, one of them is my person, and I also sent someone to protect you secretly, you are the hope of our Lan family, much stronger than your sick brother. As soon as you left the house, they notified me, saying that you came here, and coincidentally, this green building is the property of our Lan family, and it is also one of the main economic sources of our Lan family. So I took the risk of coming to see you and telling you the truth, so that we could discuss measures to rescue your father. As for your father's affairs, it is also that he is not strict in handling things and employing people improperly, so that such a big incident happened, he is now locked up in the dungeon of Dongchang, and that place is now completely controlled by Chen Jiu, and the people I am now in it have also been cleared out, so I can't rescue him. I know that you have a good relationship with Chen Jiu, and this heavy responsibility will fall on you. ”

"Uncle and grandfather, in order to save my father, I can do anything, but there is one thing I want to ask my uncle and grandfather."

"What's the matter, just say it, there are only you and me here, there is nothing to avoid."

"Uncle and grandpa, at noon today, I received a letter from Chen Jiu, but nothing was written in it, it was a wordless letter, uncle and grandfather, what does Chen Jiu mean by giving me this letter."

Wang Qiang laughed and said: "That letter, it was not given to you by Chen Jiu, it was given to you by me, the purpose is to let you know that you are okay, I know the people your father arranged to enter the palace, but none of them know me, you are also my people who protect you in the palace, I am afraid that you are afraid of exposing your target and go to find Chen Jiu, so I gave you a wordless letter to let you know that it is okay." ”

"But, uncle, aren't you afraid that I will go to Chen Jiu and ask him."

"I believe this, with your ingenuity, you will not ask him, and the person sent to deliver the letter is also mine, so I can 'deliver' the letter to you. If you are stupid enough to ask Chen Jiu, I will also find a way to stop you, and when I see you come out tonight, I just want to tell you this, so that you don't understand in the clouds. ”

"Grandpa, you have a lot of people, so you're not afraid that some people won't be able to endure the punishment and confess."

"No, their families are under my control, they don't dare to say anything about me even if they are self-judged, and when the time comes, they can be identified 'chaotically', and I can send someone to exterminate them, I have someone outside to train them, and the treatment of their families is also very generous, only in this way will someone give us their lives."
