(A new chapter is added for the justifiable defense of Kunshan...... ）

At noon the next day, Han Qian arranged for Tian Cheng to invite Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei to meet at the rouge shop in Ningxianglou.

The county king's mansion and the rouge shop of Ningxianglou are separated by a courtyard wall, but Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei have to walk three or four hundred steps from the north gate of the palace to the backyard of Ningxianglou.

This distance was Han Qian's last chance to hide on the second floor of the backyard of Ningxiang Building and observe Jiang Yuan and the others with a telescope, and it could be seen that Jiang Yuan and the others had long known about the existence of the rouge shop, and even the two of them were very proficient in the laneway from the north gate of the county king's mansion to the rouge shop.

Obviously, Emperor Tianyou's previous surveillance of Zuo Si and the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion was responsible for these two people.

After Jiang and Yuan approached, Han Qian put away his glasses, sat in front of the window, and waited patiently for Tian Cheng to bring Jiang Yu and Yuan Guowei upstairs.

Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang subconsciously clenched their fists, not knowing whether it would be a blessing or a curse to meet Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei.

Although Chun Shisanniang has always secretly presided over the rouge shop, and has never met Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei, the female shopkeeper and buddy who run the rouge shop are all secretly transferred by Chun Shisanniang.

Therefore, even if Chun Thirteen Niang no longer shows her face from now on, once Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei insert their descendants into Zuo Si, it will still be easy to see the flaws.

"Knock knock" Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei stood on the creaky wooden staircase and walked upstairs, Tian Cheng and the others stayed downstairs and did not follow.

The room was dimly lit, Han Qian was making tea with his back against the window, and a light came in from behind Han Qian, Jiang Shu and Yuan Guo took a while to get used to it, and only then did they see Han Qian's face clearly, and said with a smile: "Lord Han is so elegant, drinking tea in such a quiet and fragrant place." ”

"Zuo Si has a group of people hidden outside the roster, and he and Hou Ye Li will keep an eye on the movements inside and outside Jinling City for me and Hou Ye, so as to prevent anyone from being unfavorable to His Highness," Han Qian took out a thin roster from the sleeve of his robe, put it on the desk, and said, "The two elders have seen it here, and it is no problem to look at it for a long time, if you can, you should not take the roster away." ”

Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei narrowed their eyes and looked at Han Qian.

Chun Shisanniang and Yao Xishui stood behind Han Qian, they stood on both sides of the window, and under the slightly dazzling light outside the window, their faces hidden in the shadows were even more blurred.

Han Qian's conditions are not harsh, not to mention the dead, I don't know how much effort it takes to put in the secret room, once the list is leaked, this is not something that money can measure.

And Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei's purpose is only to touch the bottom of Zuo Si, to prevent Zuo Si from becoming an uncontrollable monster one day, and said: "Don't worry, Lord Han, if we see it, we will rot in our hearts." ”

"Miss Yao, you will show the roster to the two elders." Han Qian instructed Yao Xishui to say.

Yao Xishui turned sideways and bent down to pick up the booklet on the long case, and at this time let the light outside the window hit her soft face.

Han Qian was slightly startled after seeing Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei see Yao Xishui's face clearly, but he could see that their surprise at this time was not that they hadn't noticed Yao Xishui's existence before, but that he didn't expect that he didn't mean to hide Yao Xishui's identity.

Han Qian sighed slightly in his heart, Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei had really noticed the existence of the Late Red Mansion.

"Chun Thirteen Niang, please make tea for the two bosses." Han Qian instructed Chun Thirteen Niang again.

Chun Thirteen Niang took two steps forward, squatted down on the side of the long case, and held a pot to make tea.

Han Qian noticed that Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei's hands trembled slightly, Chun Shisanniang had no direct relationship with the Late Red Mansion before, and Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei's reactions at this time showed that their excavation of the Late Red Mansion was still limited.

Han Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip and said, "Two bosses, please look at the roster!" ”

The roster is thin, only twenty or thirty pages.

Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei had already noticed the existence of the Late Red Mansion, and they couldn't think that the Xinchang Marquis Mansion had only cultivated Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang over the years, so in addition to the more than ten secret spies that Han Qian had bought or deployed over the past year, there were also fourteen people who had been arranged by the Late Red Mansion to lurk in various mansions in recent years.

Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei flipped through the book very slowly, but it didn't take long for them to flip through the booklet.

"Forgive me!" Han Qian said apologetically, walked up to Jiang Yuan and the others and put the booklet into the sleeves of his robe, and said to Chun Shisanniang and Yao Xishui, "You can leave, but remember to change your face and don't let others see your appearance." ”

Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang answered, each took out a mask that could only cover the wings of the nose and under the cheekbones, put it on, bowed to Jiang Yuan and the others, and then turned around and went downstairs.

Seeing that Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang seemed to have changed their faces, Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei smacked their lips and sighed: "The Marquis of Liyang said that Lord Han has the talent of heaven, and it is really true, these two people's leather masks are really wonderful and beautiful, and the old man and the two have seen it so closely, and they have not seen the flaws." ”

"It's just a small skill of carving insects, it's not worth the two bosses." Han Qian said with a smile.

There has long been the craft of mask making in the world, and there are also so-called human skin masks, but whether it is human skin, sheepskin, or pigskin, the noodles made in the world have many drawbacks, and the light is dim or at night or can deceive others, but in broad daylight, the flaws are more or less obvious.

The two masks used by Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang were specially made by Han Qian according to their face shapes, first using gypsum as a mold, beating them with a thin copper sheet to fit their faces completely, and then pasting a very thin layer of sheepskin on the thin copper sheet, and then using skin changing cream and rouge lead powder to make the mask color exactly the same as the skin tone.

Moreover, the mask made by Han Qian only covered half of their faces below the cheekbones, so that the eyebrows and eyes were still exposed, without the slightest sluggishness, only the face shape below the cheekbones changed without leaving a trace, and from the appearance of the person, it also changed a person, achieving the purpose of improving and covering the face.

"Why did you arrange Yao Xishui to be with Master Zhang?"

It was impossible for Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei to solve the doubts in their hearts after reading the roster, and there were still some questions, they still had to ask Han Qian in person.

"We don't know how deeply involved Lord Zhang is with Anning Palace, we are loyal to His Highness, this is something we must determine as soon as possible." Han Qian said.

"Isn't that Lord Zhang reliable?" Jiang Shu asked.

"His Royal Highness is in distress at the head of Xichuan City, Lord Zhang blocked the falling stone with his body, Han Qian saw it with his own eyes, and he can't fake it, but Yao Xishui has already arranged for Lord Zhang, of course he can't withdraw casually. In his early years, Mr. Zhang and his younger sister were separated due to the war, and the younger sister looked like Xiao Yao cherished the water, which was also a consolation for Zhang Da. Han Qian said.

"Apart from this roster, has Lord Han forgotten anyone?" Jiang Shu asked.

"Regardless of whether the two elders believe it or not, Han Qian's answer is naturally no, and the two elders probably don't expect Han Qian to answer yes, why ask more?" Han Qian asked rhetorically around the bend.

Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei could also hear some emotions in Han Qian's words, and said: "We are also responsible, please forgive Master Han." ”

"I only hope that what the two elders said about allegiance to His Highness is true, and Han Qian will know everything and say everything." Han Qian's eyes also suddenly became fierce at this moment, staring at Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei, to show that he was conditional on disclosing so many secrets this time.

Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei glanced at each other, and in the face of Han Qian's domineering appearance at this time, the essence in the eyes of the two of them was hidden even deeper, and said: "Your Highness must have three long and two short, and the two of us will die without a place to be buried, so Lord Han understands." ”

Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei's words can only show that they are dead soldiers sent by Emperor Tianyou, but as long as it is not a critical event to subvert Great Chu, they can still be regarded as the descendants of the three princes.

Han Qian bowed his head slightly and said, "Then Han Qian will ask the two elders to take care of him in the future." ”

"That's easy to say," Jiang Shu looked at the layout in the backyard of Ning Xiang Building, and said, "Lord Han has arranged this place very elegantly, it is even quieter than Jinyun Tower, and the east courtyard wall of the County King's Mansion may open a secret door, which is also convenient for Lord Han to enter and exit." ”

Jiang Xu's suggestion was very intimate, so that Han Qian could avoid the eyes of Anning Palace or other forces staring at the front and back doors of the County King's Mansion, and enter and exit the County King's Mansion from the backyard of Ning Xiang Building.

Han Qian can even use the back house of Ning Xiang Building as a public office for daily business.

Han Qian thought to himself that Jiang Yu had such a suggestion, probably to show that they had no intention of keeping an eye on his every move, and thanked: "Thank you for the understanding of the two bosses, Han Qian and even His Royal Highness, in the future, there may be such a passage that can be concealed in and out of the county king's mansion." ”

"Oh, by the way, the concubine sent someone to send the title deed of the grange and the deed of the twelve slaves and maids to Jinyun Tower before noon, waiting for Lord Han to pick it up." Jiang Shu said.

Han Qian took Tian Cheng and others back to the county palace with Jiang Yu and Yuan Guowei, got the title deed and slave deed sent by the concubine, and ran to find the third prince to thank him.

In the next two days, Han Qian took Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, Lin Haizheng, and Zheng Tong in Jinyun Building to sort out the affairs of Zuo Si with Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei, and at the same time, Guo Nuer, Lin Zongjing and other Han family members and soldiers were withdrawn from Zuo Si, which can be regarded as sorting out public and private.

It wasn't until the fourth day that Han Qian got out of his body, and after lunch, he took Zhao Ting'er, Xi Ying, Zhao Laoqi, Du Yijun, Du Yiming, Zhao Wuji, Lin Zongjing, Guo Nuer and others out of the city to take over the grange rewarded by the concubine.
