The door was silently opened, and a fragrant breeze instantly filled the room. A wonderful figure slowly stepped into the room.

The bright red long skirt spreads a sea of bright flowers on the ground, and the charming smile outlines the touching style. Yun Niang walked over, naturally and generously picked up the wine jug, and poured wine for Lu Sheng and Shen Ling.

"Yun Niang has seen the prince, Lord Lu!"

The voice is a little lazy, but it has a charm that makes people crispy to the bone.

"Yun Niang, it's been a long time!" Shen Ling nodded with a smile, "Dongfeng Building's business is getting better and better......"

"Then thank you Shizi for taking care of Yun Niang's business! Shizi must have something to inquire about today, Yun Niang listened attentively. ”

Speaking of business, the charming smile on Yun Niang's face disappeared in an instant, and even the whole atmosphere became solemn at this moment. Shen Ling also put away his smile and looked at Yun Niang seriously.

"What happened in the capital recently, why did Princess Changling suddenly become so acquainted?"

"The day before yesterday, Lord Dong of the Ministry of Rites suddenly wrote a book, saying that the third prince had passed the coming-of-age ceremony for two years, was crowned a prince, and opened a mansion, but there has been no concubine yet. It's not convincing.

For this reason, it caused controversy in the court, and finally concluded that the three princes should set up a concubine as soon as possible. However, the two side concubines of the three princes are both not qualified enough and need to be married separately. ”

"That person is the Lord of Lingzhu?" Lu Sheng suddenly asked lightly.

"Lord Lu is really smart, he is the Lord of Lingzhu. It is already an open secret that Princess Changling is on the side of the three princes, and this time it is completely open to the public, and no one expected it.

The lord of Lingzhu became the concubine of the three princes, and she deserved her name in the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty. Although the emperor was a little reluctant to deliberately delay, he changed his tone and agreed to the court the next day.

The reason why Princess Changling agreed to return to Beijing so readily was that she had already planned to do so. ”

"My aunt is really not a straw bag. Shen Ling let out a long sigh, "I actually retreated early and laid out the capital first." The lord of Lingzhu became the concubine of the three princes, so the emperor could no longer touch her. Moreover, her business with dignitaries and dignitaries is all in shell business names, and she can command remotely even in the capital.

If she falls, many dignitaries will be unlucky. Therefore, there will be many people in the court who will do their best to protect her. What a princess of Changling, she actually played such a hand at a critical time!"

Shen Ling's words, Lu Sheng also understood. If in the past, there was only one Princess Changling and the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion, and the emperor would only be able to move. But now, Princess Changling and the three princes are tied together, and moving Princess Changling is equivalent to moving the three princes.

This is something that the emperor absolutely does not want to see, and the dignitaries of the Manchu Dynasty do not want to see this situation. This is also the reason why the emperor wants to deal with this matter secretly and stabilize the court.

"But I don't understand, why did the emperor give in so easily? Even if the lord of Lingzhu is suitable, the emperor can veto this marriage. Doesn't he have the right of veto as a father on his son's marriage?" Lu Sheng hurriedly asked.

"The emperor naturally has the right of veto, but there is also a queen mother in the inner house. The queen mother personally designated the marriage, and the emperor was not easy to refuse. So Princess Changling got out of the matter safely. ”

"But Princess Changling has been involved in many cases of official silver, why didn't the emperor use this excuse ......?"

"Princess Changling herself has nothing to do with the case of Guanyin, so even if the case of the emperor and the general Guanyin is announced to the world, it will not hurt Princess Changling in the slightest. And if you do this, there will be a bit more people involved than you will lose.

What the emperor needs to consider is not only the gains and losses of the people of the whole world, but also the gains and losses of the people of the whole world. And Princess Changling is willing to double the compensation for this loss, no matter what, the emperor must grit his teeth and swallow it.

Moreover, I got information from the Criminal Department, although the Marquis of Ning Guofu is implicated, but not all of them are implicated, at least the main culprit in the Guanyin case has been brought to the prison of the Criminal Department, and I heard that she is still a young woman......"

"Young woman?" Lu Sheng's face changed, and he instantly fell into immersion.

"Yun Niang, that woman's surname is Bai?"

"This ...... Yun Niang couldn't find out so clearly. My spies haven't been able to penetrate much yet, but they have heard the officials of the Criminal Department sometimes say that when they talk about this case, they will say that they should be thieves. Such a beauty, I really feel sorry for her. ”

"Well, I got ......"

"Shizi, Lord Lu, after the business is over, do you want Yun Niang to find a few girls to accompany you to relieve your boredom? Don't worry, my girl here has a very strict mouth. ”

"No need, just bring us food regularly, from now on, Brother Lu and I will disappear in Shanghai Mansion. You pass the warrant to Duan Fei for me. Also, keep an eye on the movements in the capital. ”

"Yes, then...... Yun Niang retired. With that, Yun Niang got up and squatted to leave.

It wasn't until the door closed again that Lu Sheng sighed leisurely, "What a goblin." ”

"You said Yun Niang?"

"Could it be you?" Lu Sheng said angrily.

"Tell you a data, the man who died in Yun Niang's bed has already counted this. Shen Ling jokingly stretched out five fingers.

"Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, Yun Niang can sit on the ground and absorb soil, right?

"I believe in Yun Niang's strength, the information that comes out of her mouth is never fake!"

"But I believe more that a woman who can control all this behind the scenes and turn us around is not so easy to catch. In particular, he was sent to the Criminal Department of the capital!"

"I just don't think so!" Shen Ling shook his head, "I remember you said that if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates. What if Bai Ye's daughter was betrayed?

It is not difficult to conclude from Yun Niang's information that we suspected that Xie Tianci was right. This case was completed by Xie Tianci and Bai Ye's daughter. Thank God for asking for money, Bai Ye's daughter wants revenge, and Bai Ye's daughter takes revenge, Xie Tianci will completely get rid of Princess Changling, and the two hit it off.

And now, because of our thorough investigation, Xie Tianci found that he couldn't hide it at all, so he immediately confessed to Princess Changling. Thank God for this old bacon, the older you get, the more fragrant it becomes, and the old husbands and wives of decades have fallen under his beautiful man's tricks. ”

"Bai Ye's daughter and Xie Tianci cooperated, don't forget that Xie Xuan died under Bai Ye's sword. ”

"Don't you know that Xie Xuan is not Xie Tianci's son?"

Shen Ling's words immediately reminded Lu Sheng that Princess Changling and Xie Tianci gave birth to Xie Xuan half a year after they got married. In this way, Xie Xuan's death, Xie Tianci will not only not be ashamed, but secretly happy.

However, Lu Sheng still shook his head, "I don't think that a person who can dominate all this in the dark will be taken down by Princess Changling so easily and sent to the capital!"

"Why do you think so?" Shen Ling's face was a little gloomy, he admired Lu Sheng's confidence in everything under control, but Shen Ling didn't want Lu Sheng to turn his confidence into conceit.

"No, just because Bai Ye's daughter hasn't fought me head-on so far!How could a person who knows how to protect himself so well and hide himself so well be caught so easily?

Moreover, even if Bai Ye's daughter and Xie Tianci cooperated, their cooperation had ended since we arrived in Shanghai Mansion. Don't forget, from the very beginning, we were secretly led by the hand to target Ning Guohou.

From the beginning, she had no intention of letting Ning Guohou go. How could such a person who was scheming and calculating one step at a time let Xie Tianci know where she was, and how could she be captured so easily?"

"You mean, for the dead?"

"Yes, do you remember Donghai's words before she died, it can be inferred from this that the objects of revenge of Bai Ye's daughter are not only Princess Changling, but also Lin Quan and Guo Songling. Guo Songling is dead, so the next one is Lin Quan.

Shen Ling, Princess Changling can return to Beijing, and the Guanyin case can be stopped, but the daughter of Bai Ye who controls everything, I must find out. Good people should not die in vain, the 30,000 people affected by the disaster in Suzhou should not suffer in vain, and the 300 innocent people in the Xishan River section should not die in vain. ”

"I understand that such a difficult character, the Nanling Mansion will not allow her to get away with it, if she is not found out this time, who knows what kind of tricks she will have in the future. What do you say next?"

"Lure the snake out of the hole, the bait is already ready-made, it depends on when she takes the bait. ”

"You mean Huo Tian and Princess Changling?"

"Yes, pay close attention to the movements of Princess Changling and Huo Tian. It's best to let both of them move, Huo Tian's identity has been exposed, you can order Huo Tian and his family to leave for Jinling.

Princess Changling returned to Beijing, Huo Tian went to Jinling, and the two sides acted at the same time, and the time for Bai Ye's daughter to take revenge would be urgent. And me and you, it's best to divide the army, I am secretly staring at Princess Changling, and you are secretly staring at Huo Tian. Let's have a praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finch behind!"

Shen Ling looked at Lu Sheng deeply, and a smile slowly rippled out of the corner of his eyes, "Lu Sheng, what is hidden in your waist?"

"Uh, why are you asking that question all of a sudden?"

"What kind of secret weapon?

"No, it's just an ordinary flying knife!" As he spoke, Lu Sheng lifted the hem of his clothes, revealing the six flying knives in the knife bag, "Ordinary emergency flying knives, what's the matter?

"Because I've found it several times, every time you use killing intent, you will touch your waist subtly. I thought you had a sharp weapon hidden in your waist......"

The two went back to their rooms and slept in their clothes.

Shen Ling was right, Lu Sheng was indeed murderous.

Lu Sheng actually didn't say half of his plan, he secretly stared at Princess Changling, not just to wait for the mantis to appear. If the praying mantis doesn't appear, then he will turn into the mantis that catches cicadas.

The sound insulation of the room is really good, and when he woke up, Lu Sheng didn't even know if it was day or night. After asking, I found out that it was almost noon.

The door of Dongfeng Tower is still deserted, but the people who can enter and exit are all extraordinary people. A few Confucian students were a little reluctant to step out of the Dongfeng Tower.

Lu Sheng and Shen Ling were already waiting patiently in the box.

Five days passed quietly.

A piece of news suddenly became the talk of the people in Shanghai after dinner.

The two major forces entrenched in Shanghai are about to leave. 8)
