Chapter 206: The Death of King Ping
In the past few days, Ye Feng has been going to Liyinlou every day, there are losses and wins, he has no choice, Liyinlou is still inspecting him, so naturally he will not let him lose badly, so he has to borrow silver.
I haven't seen Zhao Zhengjie for a few days, presumably he is worried about the one million taels of silver, but Ye Feng didn't care so much.
Yue's Mansion also seems to be very busy recently, and the servants coming in and out, maybe there is something big, so no one pays attention to him.
He hadn't seen Yue Jiancomb either, presumably he had hurt her heart at the beginning, and it was normal for her not to want to see her.
He was thinking about whether he should move out of the Yue Mansion, after all, it was also very embarrassing. So he decided to find a house today, and then find Yue Siqu to resign.
He walked out of Yue's mansion, asked for directions, and went to find a shop. It is equivalent to an intermediary in later generations, and it is specialized in providing housing for people. In the capital of a country like Kaifeng, there is a large foreign population, and except for officials who are in Beijing who can live in post stations, everyone else either buys or rents a house.
"Yo, this son, do you want to buy a house or rent a house?" As soon as he entered the door, a little man in a cloth shirt greeted him with a smile.
"I want to buy a house." Ye Feng replied, he himself didn't know how long it would take him to find the whereabouts of the Source of the World, and now he didn't have the slightest clue, and it was relatively not as cost-effective as buying a house if he rented a house.
"Son, where do you want to buy a house? How big is the need, we have everything here, there are many rich businessmen, and the officials who have been transferred out of the seal have put their houses in our house, and the price is also very suitable. The smile on his face was even worse when he heard him say that he was buying a house, after all, the commission he got for buying a house was much higher than renting a house.
"It's right around the corner from Tongtai Street!" He thought about it, and he didn't plan to move far away from Yue's Mansion, if there was anything in Yue's Mansion, he would be able to rush over as soon as possible.
"O Tongtai Street! There are three vacant houses for sale here, two of them are employees who have entered Beijing to do business, and one is a transfer envoy who has been transferred to Nanshan Mansion, and I will introduce them to you one by one......
Then he began to talk about the advantages of these three houses, anyway, how to say it, like what kind of decoration essence, and garden, convenient travel or something.
These Ye Feng didn't matter, what he wanted was a place to stay, and it wasn't very big, just him and the three Cao brothers, as well as Gusu and Long Ranran, so he picked a location that was okay, the house was not very big, and there were many shops around, so it was convenient to enter and exit and buy things.
The most important thing is that it is closer to the drunken fish, he remembered that Long Ranran, a foodie, must be very picky about what to eat, and she was naturally good at eating in Yuefu before, so she didn't have anything to say. But if she moves out of Yue's Mansion, then this meal will become a big problem, and she must not make trouble to the sky.
The key is to be close to the drunken fish, so that he can let her go there to eat, just eat, presumably Zhao Zhengyu will not be so stingy to collect his money, right?
After buying the house, he went back, planning to resign to Yue Siqu. As soon as I walked to the door of Yue's Mansion, I saw a familiar figure, walking back and forth at the door, looking a little anxious.
"Miss Zijin? How did you end up here? He walked up and asked.
"Oops! Ye Gongzi, you are back, I came to look for you on purpose, but they said that you were not in the house, so I waited for you outside the door. Qing Zijin saw Ye Feng and hurriedly said.
"What's wrong? What's the matter, so anxious to find me? Ye Feng asked curiously, under normal circumstances, she would not take the initiative to find herself, but she didn't expect to find Yue's Mansion this time.
"King Ping is dead. The emperor is anxious to see you! She leaned closer to him and whispered.
"King Ping is dead?" He was stunned when he heard the news, and the figure of Zhao Zhengjie appeared in his mind, this prince who seemed to be quite upright, no wonder he hadn't seen him in the past few days, but how could he die? Could it be that he was killed by the people of Liyinlou? Li Yinlou is too bold, right? What a bad guy is also a prince, and he kills people for a million taels of silver?
"How did you die?" Ye Feng hurriedly asked.
"I don't know about this, it's just that the saint is furious and anxious to find you, you better come with me to have a look!" She shook her head and said.
"This Nima is looking for me to have a hammer to use!" Ye Feng said in his heart, but he still followed Qing Zijin to the drunken fish.
When he saw Zhao Zhengyu, his face was very bad, and the Xuanyuan Lu next to him also looked like he was not close to anyone.
"The grass people Ye Feng has seen the saint!"
"No need to be polite! I came to you this time to ask how you are doing? When will we be able to catch these spies in Northern Mongolia, and when will we be able to catch them all? Zhao Zhengyu said, and from his tone, Ye Feng felt the anger in his heart.
"This ...... There is only one object of suspicion, but there is still no definite result. Ye Feng said, in the past few days, he has already known that the Zhou Steward of this Liyinlou must be a secret spy of Beimeng, because several times he has secretly seen someone whispering something in his ear, Ye Feng is now in the realm of subtlety, and he can hear something if he listens with his heart.
What did they mention in their words, such as "Yanmen Pass", "Yue's family", "obeying the princess's orders", "Wangfu" and the like, he sorted out a clue, that is, the leader of this group of spies in Beimeng is a princess in Beimeng, and she has been lurking in the Wang family's mansion, and has successfully won the trust of Wang Yiming, the head of the Wang family, that is, the brother of Concubine Shu, and the owner of Liyinlou.
"Suspects? Who is it? I can't wait, whether it's wrong or not, I'd rather kill by mistake than let go! ”
"Your Majesty, there is an inner hall in Liyinlou, which is the headquarters of their secret spy, and the people in it are basically secret spies, but I haven't found evidence yet, and the leader of this secret spy is very likely to be a princess of Beimeng, lurking in the royal mansion at the moment, even if you take this inner hall of Liyinlou, it will be useless to catch this princess of Beimeng." Ye Feng thought for a while and said, he didn't recommend Zhao Zhengyu to do it at this time, which was almost contrary to the original plan.
You must know that the focus of his plan is at Yanmen Pass, if you don't have to bring in the Northern Mongolian army outside Yanmen Pass, it will not be a success to catch the secret spies of Northern Mongolia.
"My tenth brother is dead! These people are too rampant! Zhao Zhengyu was a little moved, and said in a sad tone.
"Doesn't it mean that his relationship with Zhao Zhengjie is not very good? Why, it's completely different from what I expected? Ye Feng looked at him and seemed sad, and muttered in his heart.
"How did King Ping die?" Ye Feng asked.
"Hit the wall in the imperial shrine and die! Before he died, he still muttered that he was sorry for his ancestors and ancestors! I really don't know what he thinks! Zhao Zhengjie said.
Ye Feng was stunned when he heard him say that it was suicide, how could this be so similar to the death of the son of General Wang Jizu?
He was thinking about it, when suddenly there was movement outside the dark room, and Xuanyuan Lu was busy alert, and jumped towards the mouth of the dark room, carefully guarded.
"Knock knock" There were two knocks on the door, and then a voice sounded outside: "Lord Commander, it's me, Xu Kexian!" ”
Xuanyuan Lu opened the door of the dark room, and a young man walked in, then knelt in front of Zhao Zhengyu, and said loudly: "The last general Xu Ke has seen the saint!" ”
"What's the matter with General Xu? But what happened in the palace? Zhao Zhengyu asked.
"Qi Qi Sheng, eight hundred miles of urgency, Suzhou City is broken!" Tsui Hark said.
"How so? Suzhou I have been arranged as solid, how could it be broken by Beimeng, what did Li Anping do? He looked furious, slapped the table with his hand, and stood up, his whole body exuding a strong momentum.
"The granary in Suzhou caught fire, the guard battalion opened the city gate, and General Li met the enemy in a panic and was martyred!"
