Liu Chengfeng raised his leg to leave, but Jiang Bing smiled and said, "Let's ...... slowly" He stood up, looked at Liu Chengfeng with a smile, and said, "Since Lian Guogong is here, why don't you have a few drinks in the house." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" He saw that Liu Chengfeng was a little hesitant, and continued: "Actually, to tell the truth, Jiang wanted to talk to Lian Guogong a long time ago, but Lian Guogong must also know that Jiang is in Hanlin, so he has to avoid suspicion. ā
Liu Chengfeng understood what he meant, Jiang Bing's current identity is Shu Jishi, so it is naturally inconvenient to deal with Jinyiwei, but now that he has agreed to this family affair in the palace, it will not be long before he becomes a relative of the emperor like himself, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.
As a relative of the emperor, it is very necessary to have a good relationship with Liu Chengfeng, and now among the relatives of the emperor, in addition to Liu Chengfeng, the real power faction is the Chengguo Gong who is far away in Nanjing, this Jiang Bing is not stupid at all, he actually sees the stitches, and now he wants to have a relationship with himself.
Liu Chengfeng has seen a lot of this kind of person, Liu Chengfeng smiled calmly, and said: "The guest is as you please, since Lord Jiang is invited by him, Liu Chengfeng has no choice but to be respectful and obey his fate." ā
Jiang Bing showed joy, and hurriedly informed a family member and asked them to hold a banquet.
Liu Chengfeng was bored, and asked about Jiang Bing's family background, after all, he would marry the palace in the future, inquire about some news, and have an explanation with the emperor.
Jiang Bing didn't hide it, and directly talked about his family, saying that his parents had been poor since childhood, and when he was older, his family situation improved, and his father put a few acres of thin fields for him to study.
Liu Chengfeng nodded, thinking in his heart, this family background is also in line with the heart of the palace, the royal family has always chosen sons-in-law, and generally will not look for those who have too good family backgrounds, except for those royal relatives, most of them try to avoid those who are rich and rival the country.
After the banquet was prepared, Liu Chengfeng and Jiang Bing went to the backyard to eat wine, a few glasses of wine were eaten, and the content of the conversation between the two was naturally much more extensive, Jiang Bing said with concern: "Lian Guogong was attacked, I don't know what the case is." ā
Liu Chengfeng frowned and said coldly: "I hope they are lucky, don't let me find out, otherwise they will have to be broken into pieces." He was silent for a moment: "If you want to talk about eyebrows, it's not nothing." ā
Jiang Bing said suspiciously: "Oh? Would you like to hear more? He looked like he was afraid that he would be too talkative and a little curious, and said: "Su Wen Lian Guogong is quite powerful, and he is like a god, and he just wants to see it today." ā
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly: "This is all exaggeration, how can there be any magical powers, it is a little ridiculous to say it." He said with a straight face: "Actually, the current eyebrows are very simple, the person who planned this assassination must be from the palace." ā
Jiang Bing couldn't help but be surprised: "How can you see it." ā
Liu Chengfeng said coldly: "These assassins are prepared, ambushed on the path that someone Liu must pass, Lord Jiang think about it, someone Liu has just received His Majesty's will to come to Lord Jiang, how do ordinary people know that I will go that way?" Therefore, the assassin must have received the news at the first time and knew that I was going to Lord Jiang, so he arranged an ambush there in advance to catch turtles in the urn. ā
Jiang Bing must have heard of this kind of power struggle in the palace for the first time, and his face turned a little yellow with fright, and then he took a long breath and returned to normal: "If it is from the palace, I just don't know which bold eunuch in the palace is the commander of the assassination brocade guard, this is a big crime." ā
Liu Chengfeng asked him rhetorically: "Who can immediately organize a group of such capable people, who can be pervasive in the palace, and who is jealous of Liu Chengfeng?" Figure this joint and you'll have a clue about it. ā
"You mean?" Jiang Bing looked at Liu Chengfeng with surprise, and said tentatively: "Eunuch Xiao Jing Xiao?" ā
Only this Dongchang factory has the ability to mobilize forces for sniping at the first time. Only this eunuch can be pervasive in the palace, and no news can hide from him, as for this Xiao Jing and Liu Chengfeng were originally a pair of enemies, since the establishment of the East Factory, the battle between the factory and the guard has never stopped, and it is normal to fight openly and secretly.
Now that Jinyiwei is getting more and more powerful, who can guarantee that Xiao Jing will not take risks.
Jiang Bing was scared into a cold sweat, he had been in Hanlin for a long time, in fact, he had not experienced any big struggle, even if there was occasional intrigue, he had never lived to the death like this, how could he have thought that this power struggle was so fierce.
He sighed before he said, "This is just Lian Guogong's speculation, right?" ā
Liu Chengfeng said: "If it weren't for speculation, would someone Liu still have the kung fu to sit here?" Liu Chengfeng said and smiled as if laughing at himself.
Jiang Bing just laughed dryly and didn't say anything more.
Liu Chengfeng went out to relieve himself, walked out of the small hall in the backyard, took advantage of the night, looked for a thatched house in the cool breeze, and saw that a corner of the backyard was quite secluded, so he was going to go there, just passed through a secluded moon cave, but someone called him behind: "Grandpa...... Grandpa......"
Liu Chengfeng turned around, but saw that it was the housekeeper of Jiang Mansion, he couldn't help but stop, and said with a smile: "What, is there a thatched house here?" ā
Steward Jiang shook his head with a rattle and said, "The villain took the grandfather to the thatched house, but as for here, he must not go." ā
"Why?" Liu Chengfeng asked.
Steward Jiang's face was a little frightened, and he said, "This place is haunted. ā
"Haunted?"
Liu Chengfeng glanced at the row of houses behind the moon cave, which seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, so it was particularly gloomy, especially under the moonlight, which was quite terrifying.
Liu Chengfeng was unimpressed by Steward Jiang's haunted words, and said, "Really? Could it be that Steward Jiang has seen it with his own eyes? ā
"This ......" Steward Jiang obviously didn't want to talk deeply, and said after a long time: "I have never seen it, but there are many people who have seen it, it is a female ghost, my lord just bought this house like this, it is scary to come out every once in a while, it is really not a secret......" Steward Jiang hesitated and said: "The second young lady in the family has been scared to death." ā
"Second Miss?" Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Who is the second miss?" ā
Steward Jiang said: "It's my cousin's cousin, her parents went early, so she has been living in my adult's house, and later the adult went to high school and became an official, and the second lady also came over." It was half a month ago that he died, for this, Shuntianfu also came to investigate, saying that he couldn't find the cause of death, in fact, everyone in the mansion knew that the second miss was scared to death by ghosts, you haven't seen the second miss when she died, hey......" Steward Jiang sighed regretfully, and continued: "My lord has suffered a lot of blows for this matter, don't look at him and say that he talks and laughs with people, in fact, he has always been depressed, and has instructed Shuntianfu to investigate this case several times, but there are no clues on Shuntianfu, hey......"
Liu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes: "It's no wonder." ā
"Grandpa, what's the blame?" Steward Jiang couldn't help but say.
Liu Chengfeng said: "No wonder your family has some unexpected moves, presumably because they are disheartened and have no intention of pursuing a career." ā
The Jiang steward didn't understand, he was confused, and then said in a sneer: "My lord, let's stay away from here, the villain will take you to the thatched house, if something happens to the adult, my family adults and villains can't afford to bear it." ā
Liu Chengfeng nodded, and after following this Jiang steward to Xiaojie, he went back to drink, this Jiang Bing actually ate a lot of wine in the interval between Liu Chengfeng's Xiaojie, and the whole person was a little confused, and even became presumptuous when he spoke, eating and laughing: "Lian Guogong, I am a concubine, I don't know if there will be a dispute between the factory and the guard, and whether there will be intrigue?" ā
Liu Chengfeng went to call the Jiang housekeeper and said, "Your family is drunk, help me to rest." ā
Steward Jiang responded, Liu Chengfeng was inconvenient to stay for a long time, came out of Jiangfu, outside Jiangfu, there were Jinyi guards and rushed to arrest things, the entire street has been blocked, when Liu Chengfeng came out, Chen Hongyu came over in person, and said: "My lord was attacked, and I can't arrive in time, I really forgive you." ā
Liu Chengfeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, yes, what clues can be found now?" ā
Chen Hongyu said: "I have investigated everywhere, those assassins are a potential archery attack on a house, and that house has also inquired, it is the mansion of an adult, but he has now gone to Sichuan, so there is no one else in this mansion except for an old and dizzy old servant, presumably the assassin sneaked in, went up to the wall and roof, and ambushed here to wait for the adult." I also asked the old servant to be asked, and said that he had used tea at noon, and the whole person was groggy and fell asleep, and knew nothing. ā
Liu Chengfeng nodded, but there was a trace of suspicion in his eyes, as if he had found something, but he didn't say anything else, just said, "Where did those assassins escape?" ā
"There are no footprints nearby, and they haven't been investigated yet, and everyone in the health center is now investigating the news, looking for people from door to door, presumably there will be news tomorrow."
Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to work hard for everyone." ā
Chen Hongyu lowered his voice: "The Dongchang side is also investigating everywhere now, Xiao Jing and Xiao's father-in-law are in charge, and he also said that he will work together with our Jinyiwei to abandon his previous suspicions, and he must find out these assassins." ā
"Really?" Liu Chengfeng said coldly: "Don't pay attention to them, let's sweep the snow in front of the door." ā
"Yes, there is one more thing, there is a case in Shuntianfu, it is Jiang Bing, the Jishi of Hanlin Shuji, it is said that Jiang Bing's cousin was scared to death by a ghost, you go to Shuntianfu and ask, see what Shuntianfu has to say. Come on, let's go home. ā
