Chapter 136: Your Majesty's Order
A simple carriage from afar, not ornately decorated, and the carriage was not wide, slightly inferior to the carriage that pulled things before.
Several eunuchs and palace maids accompanied them all the way with red circles under their eyes, and when they arrived outside Qin's house, the carriage slowly stopped, and they helped a young girl from the carriage.
It's just that the ninth princess who was expelled from the palace didn't look unhappy at all, but still had some fresh joy.
The ninth princess whispered a few words to the eunuch and palace maid beside her, and then walked into the courtyard by herself, frowned slightly, looked at the mountains of things, and sighed softly: "I heard people say that when I lived, I didn't think that when I moved, I knew that there were many things at home. And so it was...... I didn't even know there were so many clothes......"
After sighing with emotion, the ninth princess walked up the steps, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Qin Fei standing beside her first father-in-law, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Hey, aren't you the eunuch who followed Xiao Chuzi?" Oh, your courage is really not small, relying on Xiao Chuzi to value you, you actually dared to change into regular clothes when you left the palace. ”
Father-in-law Chu looked embarrassed, lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, this is the Governor of the Inspectorate Qin Fei and Tongzhi. ”
The Ninth Princess immediately swallowed back into her stomach before she finished speaking, her beautiful big eyes widened, she looked at Qin Fei in disbelief, and after a while, she snorted: "It turned out to be your ......"
Qin Fei clenched his fist to his mouth, coughed lightly, and said, "Humble Qin Fei See Your Highness." ”
"Now I'm not a princess anymore, I'm just a commoner." The ninth princess said abruptly: "It should be that the folk girl has seen the governor of Qin Zhen." She was careless, and her movements were slightly stiff.
"Her Royal Highness the princess has arrived, then our family will retire!" As soon as the first father-in-law's words fell, with a wave of his big hand, the eunuchs and the guards ran away like a whirlwind.
In the empty courtyard, except for the mountains of debris, only Qin Fei and the other three looked at each other. The awkward atmosphere quietly permeated the night, Qin Fei and Lei Lei had always been two thick-skinned characters, and they didn't know what to say in the face of the princess who was expelled from the house.
Perhaps thinking that this was too embarrassing, Lei Lei approached the Ninth Princess and said softly: "Why don't I show you the house first, you want to live for a long time, choose a room by yourself." ”
The two girls walked into the room while talking, but left Qin Fei alone in the courtyard, looking at the headache of the sundries and the courtyard wall that had been demolished cleanly, Qin Fei really couldn't say anything, looking up at the starry sky, a sense of amazement arose, since ancient times, when the spring and autumn were sad and the heart was lonely, the elegant people would be poetic, leaving masterpieces for the ages. It's a pity that Qin Fei looked at the starry sky and just wanted to burst two foul words!
In the Eastern Capital at night, this day is no different from the usual day, the vast majority of people in the Eastern Capital do not know that there is a Qin Town Governor who has been forcibly demolished the wall, and they also do not know that a princess has been expelled from the house and thrown to a man to 'train' before she is married...... Uh, it's supposed to be discipline.
The streets are quiet and peaceful at night, and a figure leisurely walks through the streets, stopping from time to time, and from time to time detouring from the fork in the road, going back and forth a few times. If an expert sees such a situation, it will inevitably reflect that this person's anti-reconnaissance ability has reached a certain level. Especially when she walked freely, without a trace of nervousness and artificiality, as if those roads that went around and around to prevent tracking should have been walked like this.
I don't know how long she walked, she entered a cloth house, selected two pieces of cloth at random, and asked the tailor to tailor the clothes.
The tailor, a man of nearly fifty years of age, with a tape measure on his shoulder and a wooden ruler in his hand, led the way in front of her and led her into the back hall.
Telling the young man to go to the front hall to watch, and carefully closing the door of the back hall, the tailor immediately became extremely respectful, bowed and saluted: "Qianhu, the Zhenfu Division sent you here this time is really a party person." Since the martyrdom of Tianqingzi, our people in the Eastern Capital have fallen into a scattered sand. Soon after Lord Qianhu came, he reunited our old subordinates one by one and reorganized the intelligence system. This merit will be rewarded in the future, and the Lord of Thousand Households will definitely be able to rise again! ”
Lei Lei smiled slightly: "There will be less fart." Is there a clue about the news I asked you to visit last time? ”
The tailor replied solemnly: "Since receiving the order from Qianhu, we have been sleepless day and night, inquiring in every possible way, and finally found some useful clues. It is said that the Inspectorate's Jinshi Division has introduced a new weapon, which is extremely powerful, and it is like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves against cavalry, not to mention how powerful it is against infantry. Most of our Wu army are sailors and infantry troops, if Jin Shisi really has this kind of weapon, it is necessary to guard against it. ”
Lei Lei's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, she thought for a moment, and muttered: "No wonder Qin Fei wants to go to Northern Xinjiang, according to the tradition of the Prosecutor's Office, it is customary to go to Northern Xinjiang to try new weapons. This time it was Qin Fei's turn......"
The tailor looked at Lei Lei with blank eyes, hoping that Chihu would say a few words of praise.
As a thousand households who are sympathetic to her subordinates, Lei Lei knows that even if you can't give your subordinates actual benefits, you have to use words to warm their hearts. For example, if I don't give you money now, I don't have any land for you now, as long as you go out and do it with me, what can I give you in the future...... Generations of rebels have used these illusory things to fool the common people and give them desperately.
Lei Lei coughed lightly and said in a clear voice: "Meng Ya, you have made a meritorious contribution this time. I will record it, and when the time comes, I will reward you for meritorious deeds, and I will guarantee you to the Zhenfu Division as a hundred households and take charge of one party. You have to continue to work hard and sacrifice for Dawu, and the court will never treat those who sincerely pay for Dawu. ”
Although this is an empty talk, and there is no practical promise to Meng Ya at all, but for these people who pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers to strive for a position, it is enough to make them grateful, and they almost knelt down to kowtow to Lei Lei.
"After I came to the Eastern Capital, I found that the foundation left by Tianqingzi before was really good. He is a cautious person, he is an intelligence center, and the rest of the stations do not know each other. Therefore, although the various intelligence stations lost contact with each other because of his death, it was precisely because of this that they did not move their whole bodies and were wiped out by the people of Chu. As soon as I come, take over the stall he left behind, and I will be able to reorganize immediately. It's a pity, it's a pity, Tianqingzi has paid so much for Dawu, but he has no life to enjoy it, and the court can only treat his family and relatives well, which can be regarded as comforting him. ”
Lei Lei sighed with emotion, then replied to the majesty of her superiors, and said in a low voice: "Meng Ya, your news should be true." In this case, Qin Fei would soon leave the Eastern Capital to test weapons in Northern Xinjiang. Judging from your experience in the Eastern Capital for so many years, where should you get new weapons? ”
Meng Ya grinned, Lei Lei asked the right person.
"Lord Qianhu, the army of Chu is not in harmony, the Northern Xinjiang Army is the strongest army in the entire Chu State, and it has been fighting against the grassland barbarians for many years, and its combat effectiveness is very amazing, for this reason, the soldiers and horses of Northern Xinjiang have always looked down on the military horses in other places. As for the armies of the Western Regions, their opponents are in the snow-capped mountains and plateaus, although they do not fight much, they can afford to endure hardships. Stay in the place where the birds don't for a few years, and almost all of the guys who come out are tough guys. ”
"The vision of the soldiers and horses in the Western Regions is naturally very high, and they also look down on the fancy Imperial Forest Army and the Praetorian Guard Army. And these soldiers and horses looked down on the sailors of the Jiangnan battalion. Therefore, the army of Chu was numerous, but it was not united. The new weapon was escorted to the northern frontier by the troops directly under the Prosecutor's Office and the Imperial Forest Army for experimentation, and it was hypothetically guessed that King Yan would definitely interfere in the matter of the new weapon. The cavalry that can sweep away the barbarians can also sweep away the iron cavalry of his Yan King. ”
"If these weapons are ...... by the Northern Frontier Army," Meng Ya said with a smile: "Then we don't have to bother, just spend money to buy them with the Northern Frontier Army." Even if you buy it for 10,000 taels, you can make money. ”
Meng Ya suddenly realized that he had blurted out, and hurriedly shut up, standing with a righteous and awe-inspiring face, pretending that he had not said anything.
How could Lei Lei not know what he was thinking? It's nothing more than that we spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy it, and we reported 15,000 taels to the Zhenfu Division, anyway, if we buy this thing, the Northern Xinjiang Army will never give a receipt. At that time, I will earn 5,000 taels inside and out, it is the public funds of the imperial court, not greedy for nothing, not greedy, you have 4,000 taels for thousands of households, and you have to share a thousand taels with the small ones, right?
Lei Lei pretended not to hear the meaning of his words, and said lightly: "That's okay, it would have been impossible for me to go to Northern Xinjiang with Qin Fei. You go and arrange a few people who are born in the face to go to the land of northern Xinjiang, connect with the people there, and see what the subordinates of King Yan have planned. If you can spend money to solve it, don't worry about the money, throw out reliable news, or get a new weapon, it's worth the money. ”
Meng Ya was overjoyed when he heard this, this is secretly telling himself that it doesn't matter if you are greedy for money, the key is that you have to be able to do things. Get the new weapon done, let's talk about anything, you can go to the vegetable market street to get some fake bills and come back for reimbursement, Lord Qianhu nodded to you.
In fact, Lei Lei is also generous to others, and now the ninth princess lives at home, and she is afraid of no less than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tickets? I'm afraid that the ninth princess doesn't know how much money she has, so she can take the time to take a sheep and get tens of thousands of taels to spend flowers, and there is no problem at all.
"In addition, inform the others that after the Seventh Princess entered the palace, she has not found the location of the forbidden palace." Lei Lei's face became serious: "Arrange more people to infiltrate the palace, whether it is to be a cook or a palace maid, even if you castrate yourself as a eunuch, you have to find out where the forbidden palace is." This is His Majesty's order! ”
