Chapter 414: A Thorough Investigation of Old People, Old Things
It took the secret guard two days to investigate, and the news came back.
At that time, the dismissed slaves of Yaofu were bought by the major families in Kyoto, and these people have changed or died or injured in the past ten years, and there are still seven people in each prefecture, and these seven people have taken over with him one after another after Yao Cheng returned to Beijing.
"Here's the list. Jin Xiuchen handed out a piece of paper.
Peng Mo took it and unfolded it, one in the General's Mansion, one in the Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion, two in the Qi Yeru Mansion, one in the An Shike Mansion, and two in the Mulangyue Mansion.
Looking at these names, Peng Mo's eyes were cold and green, and the corners of his lips hooked a very shallow smile: "It's a little interesting." ”
These people are distributed in the mansions of the three rank and above, where the main power of the Dayong court is located.
Jin Xiuchen sat crookedly on the chaise longue and said coolly: "Originally, there was one in my house, but I was beaten to death by Li Ji last time." If she hadn't killed him, he wouldn't have even noticed.
Peng Mo laughed for a while, Li Ji still did a good thing.
These people are treacherous, but they are the lowest people after all, and they can't even protect their own lives, so why don't they spare no effort to work hard for Yao Fu?
In other words, what power did you buy for Yaofu?
The Yao Mansion has laid out these chess pieces in the major families, what to do in Kyoto!
After pondering for a moment, Jin Xiuchen said, "You said that the letter you found in the General's Mansion in your previous life, did he make it?" said and pointed to the name on the letter.
Flowers and plants old poplar!
Peng Mo's eyebrows immediately relaxed, and he chuckled: "I also suspect it, and I also sent someone to monitor it, but recently he has been very responsible, and he doesn't even want to take a step further." ”
The blood that flowed in the General's Mansion in her previous life was vivid, and her heart ached.
Jin Xiuchen looked at it and sighed, got up and came to her side and hugged her gently, and said in a low voice: "It's the fox that always shows its tail." ”
"Why is the Yao family?" In his arms, Peng Mo felt a lot more at ease.
But everything always has a purpose and motive, Yao Cheng has no old grudge with the General's Mansion, why do he want to do the thing of destroying the General's Mansion?
Thinking about what happened after she was deposed in her previous life, Yao Ruolan was the next thing, was it because she blocked Yao Ruolan's way?
No, except for the Yao family, there are still people!
According to the situation of the Yao family in the previous life, even if Lao Yang really put the fake letter of treason with the enemy in the third brother's study, the Yao family has no ability to stab this matter to Jin Rui, there must still be someone, and there is a person in the middle who can contact the emperor, she didn't find it!
In the previous life, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion complied with Jin Rui's decree and came to copy the house, and by the way, he stepped on it at the end.
Moreover, if it is the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, then in this life, Zhao Shuchang and others are all dead, and Yao Chengcheng will not enter Beijing.
It's not the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion!
Who else exactly?
Jin Xiuchen was also deeply puzzled.
Yes, why is the Yao family? When the Yao family was still in Beijing, they did not have any grievances with the Peng family, and they did not have any entanglements after leaving Beijing, so they were guilty of burying a chess piece decades ago and putting the entire family of the General's Mansion to death at a critical time?
Or was there something he didn't know about decades ago?
It seems that it is necessary not only to check the old people, but also to check the old things again!
"Tuk Tuk"
Xiaodouzi said outside the door: "Princess, Miss Yao is visiting." ”
Why are you here again?" Peng Mo frowned, glared at Jin Xiuchen secretly, and complained, "It's all some people who attract bees and butterflies. ”
Today, Jin Xiuchen came to the General's Mansion and came in through the gate in a bright way, maybe Yao Ruolan got the news, so he followed.
Jin Xiuchen said with a smile: "How can you blame me? In my opinion, it is the master who is here to work." ”
Glancing at him, he said to the door, "Please go to the side hall." ”
Little Beanzi answered and retreated, and there was no sound outside the door.
Peng Mo got up and came to the dresser, because he was too lazy to comb at home, he only pulled his hair loosely, it was absolutely impossible to go to meet guests like this at this moment, and he had to recomb his hair.
Jin Xiuchen followed her to the inner room, sat down on the chair next to the small table, supported his elbows, and watched her make up.
Peng Mo glanced at him through the mirror, and said with a smile: "What are you looking at?"
"Look at you. A very straight answer.
Peng Mo's face turned red and he secretly scolded him for a flamboyant tongue.
"You're not going to find the third brother?"
"Hmm. He nodded in response, but his body still didn't move.
Peng Mo ignored him anymore, cleaned up neatly, came to him and rubbed his face, saw his depressed face, and went out with a smile.
In the side hall, Yao Ruolan sat elegantly and quietly, observing the rich and prosperous official kiln porcelain cup in her hand, with a slight smile on her face, her eyes were bright and quiet, and anyone who looked at it was a beautiful and elegant lady of the world.
Suddenly, I saw a woman walking on the corridor outside the side hall, and fixed my eyes.
The woman was wearing a light blue cardigan skirt, with only a hosta hairpin in her hair, and there was nothing left over her body, and her simple dress set off her good looks.
The lotus step moved lightly, and she was brilliant in the sun.
Look at the silver-red pressed gold thread embroidered phoenix on her body wearing a peony long skirt, before I saw Peng Mo, I still felt luxurious and gorgeous, but when I looked at it again, I only felt vulgar.
Peng Mo looked at the people in the hall and greeted with a smile: "Miss Yao has been waiting for a long time. ”
"Ruolan greets the county lord. Yao Ruolan gathered her thoughts, got up with a smile, and bent her knees slightly to make a standard blessing.
Peng Mo saw it in his eyes, the Yao family really had high hopes for Yao Ruolan, and this etiquette was actually the etiquette in the palace.
What a forethought!
"Come on, you're welcome, sit down. Peng Mo said in a harmonious voice, and sat down with his elbows on the armrests of the chair, his body slightly crooked.
Liuying looked at it and hurriedly took a soft cushion embroidered with ice silk and green bamboo and put it behind Peng Mo's back.
Yao Ruolan looked slightly distracted.
She was dressed simply, sitting obliquely at the moment, because of the action of supporting her elbows, the water sleeves slipped down, revealing a white wrist, her hair hung down on her shoulders, her eyebrows and eyes and a smile, and her lazy state flowed out inadvertently, so that those who watched it also felt comfortable.
Unlike himself, he is full of gorgeous pearls and emeralds, and he must be careful and careful when he even walks and sits, lest he make a fool of himself in front of others.
Although she didn't like Peng Mo very much, at this moment, she actually felt a little envious.
With such a look, King Chen should admire it, right?
Thinking about it, there was jealousy in his heart, for fear of being seen, he coughed lightly, lowered his eyes and sat down, and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do in the house, so I thought of the county lord, I don't know if I can disturb the county lord?"
Hearing this, Liu Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes, she really thought she was a character!
Look, it's really thanks to Miss Yao! I thought of her first when I was bored.
After sneering in his heart, the smile on Peng Mo's face remained unchanged: "Don't bother, it's okay." ”
Xiaodouzi served tea to Peng Mo and brought two plates of dim sum again.
Peng Mo looked at the dim sum and laughed.
Yao Ruolan looked puzzled and asked, "What is the county lord laughing at?"
"This snack is Roujia's favorite, but today she has no appetite. ”
Yao Ruolan looked at the four plates of dim sum on the table, she didn't know which plate Peng Mo was talking about, but she didn't want to ask, she always felt that it would reduce her value.
Thinking that because of her friendship with Jin Roujia, everyone in Kyoto looked up at her, and they couldn't get angry.
What's the big deal? Didn't you get it from the princess?
Peng Mo didn't look at Yao Ruolan's changing eyes, took the tea, scraped the foam, and took a sip.
Yao Ruolan's gaze fell on Peng Mo's chin slightly raised from drinking tea, smooth and smooth, fair and delicate.
Looking at it, she unconsciously remembered the man who hurried by outside the back garden of Yao's house that day, and had no intention of glancing at it, and her heart thumped.
In the past few days, she has been unable to eat well, she has no sleep, and she is thinking about Jin Xiuchen all the time in her mind.
I also heard that Jin Xiuchen came to the General's Mansion today, so she came to try her luck.
Looking at Peng Mo's appearance, he shouldn't have seen him, and he didn't feel happy in his heart.
"Miss Yao seems to have something on her mind?" Peng Mo smiled and asked lightly.
Yao Ruolan came back to her senses suddenly, mistakenly thinking that Peng Mo had seen something, her hand shook, and a few drops of tea in the cup spilled and fell on her dress.
When I looked up, I met her deep dark eyes, and I panicked: "No... It's okay, I'm fine. ”
Peng Mo looked at Yao Ruolan, who looked flustered, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Miss Yao drinks tea." ”
Yao Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of tea to calm her mood, and asked unintentionally: "I just saw King Chen's carriage outside the door, is His Royal Highness King Chen in the General's Mansion now?"
"Huh, King Chen is here?" Peng Mo repeated blankly, and then went to look at Xiaodouzi.
Xiaodouzi shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't know, so it's better to inquire." ”
Peng Mo smiled and bowed his head: "Okay, let's see what His Royal Highness King Chen is doing? If there is nothing to do, just say that I have something to find him." After speaking, he glanced at Yao Ruolan, and sure enough, he saw that she was short of breath, and her face was excited that could not be concealed.
The eyes are cold.
Ruize Garden
As soon as Jin Xiuchen sat down, he saw Xiaodouzi coming.
Peng Hao looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Our master invites His Royal Highness King Chen to come over. "Directly omitted the question of having something to do.
"Huh, please let me go?" Jin Xiuchen raised an eyebrow.
What the hell is the little girl!
"Yes. Xiaodouzi nodded, if she understood correctly, the princess meant to invite Her Royal Highness over.
"Didn't you just come from Mohe Garden and didn't see Mo'er?" Peng Hao looked at Jin Xiuchen suspiciously.
Jin Xiuchen nodded hurriedly: "See, she is practicing calligraphy, I gave her the list and came over." He paused as he spoke: "Xu had something unclear just now, so I was allowed to pass." ”
Xiaodouzi couldn't help laughing, and His Highness didn't blush at all when he lied.
Obviously, he spent nearly two incense sticks in the Mohe Garden.
Peng Hao did not doubt him: "In this case, let's go together." ”
Since Xiaodouzi left, Yao Ruolan's heart has been suspended, and she no longer has the heart to talk to Peng Mo, her eyes are rolling, and she has to look outside the hall from time to time.
Peng Mo didn't speak, just quietly sipping tea and waiting for Jin Xiuchen.
Before a cup of tea, I saw two men with graceful postures appear in sight.
Yao Ruolan watched and almost jumped up, and it was easy to suppress the excitement in her heart, and she blushed and watched the person gradually walk in.
PS: Tell a joke.
A few years ago, I went to the market with my brother to buy oranges.
Wenwen: How much is a pound of oranges?
Uncle Selling Oranges: One Piece Two.
Wenwen: Oh, that's ten pounds.
The uncle who sold oranges quickly weighed ten catties and handed it to me.
Wenwen: How much is 10 pounds? As he spoke, he picked up his mobile phone and clicked on the computer.
Uncle Orange Seller [Helpless Expression]: Girl, one pound is two, and ten pounds is not twelve?
My brother gave me a roll of the eyes.
This stalk has been laughed at by the whole family for many years....
