Text 122. The Great Case of Beiping (19)
Yao Guangqi smiled and shook his head: "I'll look for you this time." Learn to ride a horse from you. ”
At Yao Guangqi's strong request, the two came to the racecourse of Dafeng Hall, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the sun was shining, the grass was moving with the wind, and the horses were neighing, which was a magnificent scene.
"What's the matter, tell me, no one will eavesdrop here!" Facing the beautiful scenery, Tang Hao's mood was also very good, and his tone seemed very relaxed.
Yao Guangqi looked at Tang Hao with interest: "How do you know that I came here to prevent others from eavesdropping?" ”
Tang Hao happily shook the whip out of thin air, and the whip "snapped" in the air, and his voice was distant and crisp, "Didn't you say that I would count?" ”
Yao Guangqi likes to chat with smart people, especially when smart people are still his friends, "Last time you brought me here, you said that a big buyer bought dozens of horses to raise with you, I want to know, did your family often buy dozens of horses in the past?" ”
Tang Hao was a little strange: "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" Is this relevant to your case? ”
Yao Guangqi did not answer Tang Hao's question: "I want to know what kind of big buyer is so arrogant, buying dozens of horses at one time, generally speaking, the princes and nobles in the capital and the wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, it is common to buy a few good horses to show off, but once you buy dozens of horses, this is a little too ostentatious, I am curious, what is the identity of this buyer." ”
Tang Hao hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "Actually, I don't know who it is, it's all the eldest brother's contact, but it's strange to say, the eldest brother rarely participated in business before, but that time he suddenly had such a big customer, and my father didn't seem to be very happy about making this big deal." ”
"Have there ever been such big buyers before?" Yao Guangqi asked thoughtfully.
Tang Hao shook his head: "You're right, there are many people in the rivers and lakes who buy good horses and rich people, and some people are really generous, but it is really the first time to buy so many at once, and if you buy a horse and don't take it away, it is even more incredible to leave it for us to raise." ”
Yao Guangqi looked into the distance with all his thoughts, the grassland was still so open, and the horses were still so happy, but there was an extra dark cloud on the horizon.
In the past few days, a series of questions, Yao Guangqi's head hurts, he has too many questions to understand, and he feels that there are too many things that are unreasonable. But he knew that at least one person should know part of the truth, so he decided to come to this person.
Chunxiang Pavilion will always be so prosperous, and it will always be the place where the rich people in Peking want to go the most, because there is wine, food, and of course, the most important thing is beauty.
Speaking of Chunxiang Pavilion, Yao Guangqi inexplicably admired Tang Ying and Jin Ruyi, admired their scheming enough, and actually thought of hiding in a brothel, you must know that the brothel is mixed, it is really not a good place to hide, but the more dangerous the place, the safer, maybe it is precisely because this place is not suitable for Tibetans, so ordinary people will not think of them hiding here.
When Yao Guangqi saw Jin Ruyi, she was tuning the piano, tuning the piano with Tang Ying, and tuning the piano intimately. The intimate didn't even notice that Yao Guangqi had come in.
"Ahem" Yao Guangqi deliberately coughed loudly a few times, but his eyes unconsciously aimed at the two.
Tang Ying and Jin Ruyi reluctantly separated, both of them looked a little embarrassed, and they both lowered their heads to tidy up their clothes, Jin Ruyi blushed and asked, "Have you found their accounts?" ”
Yao Guangqi shook his head with a smile: "I haven't found the account, because Li Yu has new requirements, and he wants to see King Yan." ”
Jin Ruyi was slightly stunned, but immediately said, "Could it be that he wants to take refuge in King Yan?" Want to pull the king of Yan into the water to protect himself? ”
Yao Guangqi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Indeed, he promised to give King Yan a large sum of money and let King Yan cover it up for him. ”
Jin Ruyi stroked the piano casually: "What do you think?" ”
Yao Guangqi was stunned when asked, "I want to hear your opinion first, with your understanding of Li Yu, what will he do next?" ”
Jin Ruyi looked down at Qin: "He is an insatiable dog official, and from what I know about him, he used to do things like unloading and killing donkeys." ”
Yao Guangqi nodded: "I understand, I think I know what to do." ”
Yao Guangqi did not arrange for Li Yu to meet Zhu Di secretly, but chose to let the two meet with great fanfare.
On the third day after Zhu Di, the king of Yan, returned to Beiping, he sent people to the political secretary and the yamen of the judicial department to inquire about the case, and then the political envoy Li Yu and the envoy Chen Shu went to the palace to meet and report the progress of the case.
Zhu Di greeted the two outside the gate, and after the two saluted Zhu Di, they followed Zhu Di into the mansion, and the subordinates and entourage of the two originally planned to follow inside, but they were blocked by the guards of the palace, on the grounds that there were nobles in the mansion who were seriously ill, and Lang Zhong instructed the living not to enter the mansion, so as not to bring new diseases into the mansion. The subordinate officials and entourage had no choice but to wait outside the palace and watch Li Chen and the others enter the palace.
The two followed Zhu Di to the mansion, bypassed the main hall, and went straight to the back, Chen Shu was a little puzzled, didn't King Yan summon him in the main hall? wanted to ask, but when he saw Li Yu calmly following on the side, he held back again.
At this moment, Chen Shu actually found that his girl Chen Yueru was standing in the far corner door, beckoning to him vigorously, Chen Shuzheng wondered how his daughter was here, but because Zhu Di was in front, he didn't go over, just waved his hand to Chen Yueru and signaled her to retreat. Unexpectedly, Zhu Di had already turned around at this moment, and said with a smile: "Miss Chen is a frequent visitor to this palace, the princess likes her very much, she came early in the morning, it seems that she has something to do with you, you might as well go and have a look, as for official business, Lord Li can say slowly." ”
Li Yu also smiled and said: "Lord Chen, this official only learned today that Ling Ai has such a close relationship with the palace, and the real person does not show his face." Let's take a look, maybe something is really wrong. ”
After Zhu Di and Li Yu persuaded them, they didn't stop, and then walked inside, Chen Shu saw this, hesitated, and walked towards Chen Yueru: "I said why can't you see people early in the morning, what are you doing here?" Chen Shu asked with a straight face.
Chen Yueru grimaced and smiled proudly: "The princess called me here, you see, the princess rewarded me with so many things." She took out a square box from behind her, opened it and saw that there was a pair of pure gold moire bracelets, a pair of white jade peony earrings, and a single phoenix Chaoyang gold-inlaid hosta.
Chen Shu frowned, "How dare you accept such valuable things casually, I can't afford to buy these things for a year." ”
Chen Yueru said happily and shyly: "The princess said that it was for me as a dowry!" ”
Chen Shu asked vigilantly, "Dowry?" Who to marry? ”
Chen Yueru immediately became stronger: "Who do you say I should marry?" Do you want to marry me to the man surnamed Zhou? Thinking about being right with that Commander Zhou? ”
