Chapter 279: Bai Xiaolan's Secret

The prince's mansion in Xicheng, which had been abandoned for many years, suddenly came, and a large number of craftsmen began to work. The people around the www.biquge.info, especially those aunts and aunts, began to become active, and they gossiped about whose family was going to use this prince's mansion.

Neighbors who have lived in Xicheng for more than ten years know that this is an ominous place, and whoever occupies it is unlucky. Because Tang Ming had already learned from the past, a wealthy businessman who came from nowhere spent money to buy this land from the government, but before he could start construction, he died of a violent illness when he heard it.

Frightened, the family of this rich merchant immediately wanted to sell it, but unfortunately the neighbors of old Nanjing knew that this land was an ominous place, even if it was given away for free. In the end, the family of the wealthy merchant had no choice but to return the land to the government at the lowest price.

It's only been three years since this happened, and there was immediately another person who was not afraid of death, and for a while, the most high-profile topic in the entire Xicheng became this prince's mansion. I don't know who rumored that the new owner of the prince's mansion is Weihai Hou, a sixteen-year-old Hou Ye.

At this time, there was a lot of discussion, and some people also sighed that a young marquis couldn't think of coming to this place to build a house. Wouldn't it be a pity if something happened to someone who had an accident and endangered his life?

The rumors in the market are spreading more and more, the more evil they become, this thing is already a little weird, and it seems that someone is secretly fanning the flames, so the rumors are out of control.

Tang Ming just smiled and didn't pay attention to it after hearing this, but ordered all the craftsmen to clean up the prince's mansion as quickly as possible, and then handed over the matter directly to the old housekeeper to take care of.

The queen also heard about this from the prince's mouth for the first time, and she was also very puzzled why Tang Ming was willing to accept such an ominous place as her mansion. It stands to reason that if you look anywhere else, you will find a place that is more than ten times better than this.

But this guy didn't seem to listen to persuasion, and insisted on that place, according to the prince's guess, it was for the extra few acres of homestead.

"It's ridiculous." This is the queen's final conclusion, and this matter is now known to the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, who are all waiting for the day when Tang Ming is unlucky.

What others think and say, Tang Ming doesn't want to care and can't care, anyway, the land is his own now, how to use how to create a relationship with others that doesn't have half a dime. So no matter what the rumors were outside, he still stayed in his small courtyard with peace of mind, teasing Xiaobai.

Bai Xiaolan hesitated for a long time before coming to Tang Ming, and after two days of thinking, she felt the need to confess to Tang Ming. Today, she learned that Tang Ming had to hide in the small yard outside her study to play with the dog, so she came over.

"Master Hou!" Bai Xiaolan stood at the gate of the courtyard and didn't dare to enter, Xiaobai's huge and fierce appearance was too scary.

Tang Ming looked back and saw that it was Bai Xiaolan who had arrived, smiled and said, "Come in!" ”

Bai Xiaolan pointed at Xiao Bai, Tang Ming suddenly smiled, asked his subordinates to take Xiao Bai back, and then sat on the stone table in the courtyard with Bai Xiaolan.

"Miss Bai suddenly came to visit today, is there something wrong?" Tang Ming poured a cup of tea for him and asked casually.

Bai Xiaolan looked around, suddenly leaned over and lowered her voice and said, "Xiaolan really has something to discuss with Hou Ye when she suddenly came to visit today, I wonder if this place can talk?" ”

Tang Ming was slightly stunned, Bai Xiaolan had been going deep and simple since she lived in the Zheng Mansion, and she didn't see any movements, but she suddenly found herself to discuss something important.

With a slight movement in his heart, Tang Ming asked the servants to go out, then brought the courtyard door, turned around and said, "Miss Bai can speak now." ”

Bai Xiaolan said bluntly: "Actually, I know an important stronghold of the Bright Sect, and I have heard many times that the sect leader has appeared there. ”

This time it was Tang Ming's turn to be shocked, Jianwen's whereabouts had always been a problem in his and Zhu Di's hearts, and now that he suddenly heard the news, Tang Ming still didn't believe it: "Miss Bai is saying that there is a clue to Jianwen's whereabouts." ”

Seeing Tang Ming's shocked look, Bai Xiaolan realized that Tang Ming attached great importance to the sect leader, and nodded casually and said: "Xiaolan has only heard about it, and she hasn't been there in person, and she doesn't know if the news is true or false, so she has been hesitating and not telling Hou Ye." ”

"Well, whether it's true or not, it's worth my inquiry, and I'm very interested in the news about Jianwen, so I ask Miss Bai not to have any scruples, but it's okay."

"The slave family heard that there is a small island overseas, that is, when the slave family was arrested for training, the island where they lived, and the slave family did not know where to go. But one thing to remember is that if you go to sea by boat from Nanjing, you can get there in about ten days. ”

Bai Xiaolan was still trying to recall as she spoke, the voyage was a few days, she remembered it very clearly, although when she was caught on the ship, she was locked in the cabin, and the dark environment could not see the sky outside at all.

But she was lucky enough to find a small gap in the cabin, and it was because of this gap that she counted the days all the way to the island. She had not seen the Master of the Church during her three years on the island, but had heard from the older sisters that the Master had personally gone to the island to select the Holy Maiden, so they had the fortune to see his face from afar.

"Then do you know that when you set off from Nanjing, the boat went in that direction!" Regarding this point is very important, Tang Ming asked very carefully.

Bai Xiaolan tried to recall when she heard this, but after a while, she shook her head: "The slave family was immediately sent into the cabin after being caught on the ship, and they couldn't see the scene outside, so they couldn't know which direction the ship was going from. ”

Tang Ming was obviously disappointed to learn such an answer, but now at least he still understands one thing, that is, Jianwen has a small island with a stronghold in the sea, and according to Bai Xiaolan's statement, this small island is still a very important place for her.

As for the direction can not be determined, this point is more troublesome, but it is not impossible, there is a ten-day voyage as a reference, he can find one direction after another, although the method is a little stupid, but it is also the most effective at present.

After sending Bai Xiaolan away, Tang Ming immediately went to the Lying Palace after thinking for a while, met the queen and informed her of the matter. In the matter of Jianwen, Tang Ming knew that he could not hide anything from Zhu Di, this was his bottom line and a fatal pain point, whoever touched it was unlucky.

The queen herself didn't dare to make the decision, but asked Tang Ming to go back first and wait for the order, she also had to tell the emperor about this matter and wait for his decision. The emperor didn't speak, and even the queen didn't dare to make decisions on his own, Tang Ming was very proud of his clever approach.

The emperor is still spending time with Tatar in Huerhot, and it will take nearly ten days to send this letter and wait for it to be replied. During this time, I have to arrange my own characteristic farm, and the prince's mansion should also start construction. (To be continued.) )
