Chapter 619: The Hidden Man
Su Qin was thinking about his own thoughts, and Zhou Shao saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, and thought that Su Qin didn't believe what he had just said. Zhou Shao said: "If the prime minister doesn't believe it, the last general will take you to the backyard immediately." When you go in and look at it, you will understand that what the last general said is true. β
Su Qin hurriedly responded to Zhou Shaodao: "Why don't I believe you?" I believe what you just said. I just think it's better for me to avoid King Qi for the time being. First, I also want to be quiet for a while, and secondly, I don't want to disturb King Qi's Yaxing. β
Su Qin told Zhou Shao: "It's up to you to accompany King Qi tonight." I am temporarily living in Xingmingxuan, and when King Qi asked, you said that I was busy with official business and could not be accompanied by myself. β
Zhou Shao had the experience of accompanying him at noon, and responded with confidence: "Prime minister, don't worry, King Qi and I have a very good temperament, let me deal with him, there will be no problem at all." β
Su Qin gave Zhou Shao a thumbs up and said, "General Zhou can not only charge into battle on the battlefield and be invincible, but also be able to cope with it easily in the Huayue scene and show his skills. Admire, admire! β
Zhou Shaoha laughed, and he was even more proud, he was already a person who had drunk a lot of wine at this time, where could he tell that Su Qin actually had excessive praise in his words.
Su Qin reminded Zhou Shao again: "You can't be too big, you should also be more restrained when you should be restrained, after all, we are now the master, King Qi is a guest, and the master must stay sober." It's up to you to arrange for tonight's patrol, and if one of our own cronies asks me where I am, you tell me the truth. If it's an irrelevant person, say I'm busy with official business and won't be in the garden tonight. β
Zhou Shao nodded and replied, "The prime minister is relieved, and he will not be confused in the end." I must be accompanying King Qi and leading the patrol at the same time, you just look at my skills. β
Su Qin smiled slightly, and gave a thumbs up again to praise Zhou Shao. After that, he didn't go to the backyard where he used to live, but went straight to Xingmingxuan.
Su Qin chose Xingmingxuan as a temporary resting place, not because he deliberately neglected Tian Pijiang, he was too busy and had no time to doppelgΓ€nger, so he had to avoid him, lest Tian Pijiang pull him to drink and dance again, at that time, out of affection, he couldn't help but agree.
However, once you agree, how can you devote time and energy to deal with all kinds of miscellaneous, strange and dangerous things that you are currently encountering?
Su Qin came to Xingmingxuan, chose one of the secluded rooms, sat down, and wanted to take a look at the context of what had happened recently, he faintly felt that there was some connection between this Liang Yue'er's assassination and the inexplicable banquet held by Zongzheng Zhao Rong, as well as the official meeting to be held the day after tomorrow.
However, as far as the various clues that Su Qin had at present, he really couldn't see any way. Not only are the clues chaotic, but even whether Liang Yue'er and the others are friends or foes is difficult to tell clearly.
Thinking of Liang Yue'er, Su Qin suddenly remembered that last night he asked Qu Xin to change the Mingzhong guard to a secret surveillance, and allowed Liang Yue'er to go out of the peach garden for activities. Su Qin didn't know if Liang Yue'er was still in the garden at this moment, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates to go to Langhuaxuan to visit.
It didn't take long for the men to come back and report that they had not found Miss Liang Yue'er in Langhuaxuan, and according to the guards there, Liang Yue'er had gone out early in the morning.
When Su Qin heard the report, he thought: "Then Liang Yue'er is really impatient to go out to do a secret matter, this matter is by no means ordinary. He sent his men again to find out the whereabouts of General Qu Xin, and later his men reported that General Qu Xin was also missing.
So far, Su Qin can guess that Qu Xin probably listened to his adjusted strategy, turned light into darkness, and secretly followed Liang Yue'er out of the door.
However, this Liang Yue'er's behavior is weird, what kind of secret does she have, and what kind of unsightly things are she going to do? Su Qin really couldn't figure it out.
Just as he was meditating, someone came from Xingmingxuan. The personal guards who followed him came to report, and Chen Dan urgently asked to see him, asking Su Qin if he had seen him or not.
When Su Qin heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly ordered: "See, see you immediately, bring Chen Dan to me quickly." β
After a while, Chen Dan rushed to the house where Su Qin was temporarily staying. Chen Dan's face was solemn, looking as if there was a lot of sorrow in his heart, Su Qin couldn't help but become nervous, he thought to himself: "It seems that Chen Dan went out to listen to the information obtained today, nothing is good, and it is estimated that there is a lot of bad news." β
When Chen Dan saw Su Qin, she first felt strange and asked, "Why did Prime Minister Su stay here?" Why don't you go back to your backyard? β
Su Qin smiled and briefly explained to Chen Dan the intention of letting out of the backyard and avoiding Tian Bijiang, of course, he concealed Tian Pijiang's identity, and only said that he was a very good friend of his.
Chen Dan said: "No wonder I went to the backyard to look for you just now, and when I entered the house, the person I saw was not you, but a slightly fat man, disheveled, singing loudly and dancing with the dancers!" β
Su Qin said: "My friend is an unruly person, so don't worry about him like him." β
Chen Dan pursed his lips and said, "That friend of yours saw me, his eyes immediately straightened, I heard that I was the pipe band of the music and dance class, and he forced me to dance a song together, thanks to the other maiko who resisted for me, I was able to get out." After asking General Zhou Shao, I realized that you had secretly changed to Xingmingxuan. β
Su Qin diverted the topic and asked Chen Dandao: "What is the situation you inquired about today, is Liang Yue'er an ordinary kabuki in Li Qing's mansion?" β
Chen Dan's face suddenly became ugly, and she said: "My good sister and I went to Li Qing's mansion in person in the morning, but Li Qing's family no longer lives in the mansion. β
When Su Qin heard this, he thought that Chen Dan didn't have any valuable clues, and he said: "This is also very common, the Li family still lives in the same place, there are only disadvantages, there are no benefits, moving can avoid harassment, and there is still a lot of money to be made." Why not? β
Su Qin said again in disappointment: "Once the Li family moves out, Liang Yue'er's life experience will be a mystery for the time being. β
Chen Dan said: "Although the Li family moved away, I thought of the original Li family's servants urgently, and they all moved away with the Li Qing family. β
Su Qin said: "That's right, this is a very good idea, after the fall of the Li family, they can't afford to raise so many servants, and there will inevitably be some servants left to the new master's family." β
Su Qin raised his big finger to Chen Dan and praised: "Sister Dan is smart, and I admire her very much. β
Chen Dan smiled bitterly and said, "Prime Minister, if you praise me after listening to me, I guess you will feel shocked after hearing the rest of the matter." β
Chen Dan continued: "We finally found an old lady who worked in Li Qing's family, she was in her sixties, and it is said that she had stayed in Li Qing's house for more than 30 years. We asked her about Liang Yue'er, but he didn't know anything about it, and he had never heard of this name at all. β
Su Qin said with confusion: "In this way, the life experience of this good sister that Liang Yue'er told you may also be made up, and even her name is fake." β
Chen Dan replied: "I think just as the prime minister said, all this is false information made up by her to confuse us. The old lady also introduced that Li Qing's family once raised a music and dance class more than ten years ago, but later it was disbanded because of the high cost, where would there be kabuki people left in the house! β
When Su Qin heard this, he couldn't help but let out a "huh", said "weird" in his mouth, and said: "What is this Liang Yue'er covered by clouds and mountains and fog?" She is a delicate woman, she looks so touching, and she has made up so many lies. β
Chen Dan responded and said: "The so-called knowing people and knowing faces do not know their hearts, from now on, we will recruit Kabuki people, we must carefully check our life experience, there can be no second 'Liang Yue'er' appear, there is such an unconscious trickster, it will annoy us to death!" β
Chen Dan paused for a moment, and then said: "That old lady also told us a clue, but I don't know if it's useful for the concubine." The man also brought it up unintentionally. β
Su Qin became alert and asked, "What clues, Dan Mei'er, hurry up." β
Chen Dan said: "According to the old lady, the eldest lady of Li Qing's family learned to dance with the music and dance class for a few days when she was very young, but she was just practicing and playing, not a professional kabuki. β
When Su Qin heard this, he immediately jumped up and said, "This is a valuable clue, although the eldest lady of the Li family is not a kabuki, she can pretend to be one." As long as she can sing and dance, she can act as a kabuki at any time. β
Chen Dan's eyes widened in surprise when she heard Su Qin's analysis, she still couldn't believe it, and said, "The dignified eldest lady, how did you think of pretending to be a kabuki? Even if the Li family is ruined, it won't be reduced to making a living as a kabuki, right? β
Su Qin replied: "There is nothing impossible, maybe the purpose of the eldest lady of the Li family to be a kabuki is not to make a living, but to aspire to other aspects?" β
Su Qin thought to himself: "Didn't Meng Ting also pretend to be a kabuki back then? In order to spy on the reality of Qin and Wei's battle in Anyi, she deliberately infiltrated Chen Xu's mansion and temporarily became a kabuki. Therefore, if the eldest lady of the Li family pretends to be a kabuki, it is completely possible. β
However, Su Qin had this guess, but he couldn't be sure, after all, these clues were all disconnected and couldn't be connected, unless the old woman was asked to see Liang Yue'er in person to recognize it, there was still no real evidence.
Su Qin thought of this, and Chen Dan thought of it almost at the same time, and she immediately put forward a similar opinion to Su Qin.
