Chapter 333: Light and Dark

At night, Ji Ling was in Zheng Ying's study and reported to him the big events in Beijing that day.

"There are many guests, but no one in Prime Minister Lin's mansion goes to the banquet." The first thing Ji Ling mentioned was the banquet of Gu Bachelor's Mansion: "Scholar Gu sent a post to the Lin family, but the Lin family did not reply to the post, and did not go to the banquet. It seems that the news is true, Gu Sanye should have really promised the Lin family to propose marriage in private, although the two families have not publicly torn their faces at the moment, but Gu Jiujie's banquet, the Lin family will not send someone over no matter what. ”

"Hmm." Zheng Ying nodded very casually, and didn't seem to care about the relationship between the Lin and Gu families: "What else?" ”

"As an in-law's family, the Duke of Anguo actually didn't go to the banquet with his family," Ji Ling replied: "It is still the general and his wife from Youzhou who come forward to sit on behalf of the in-laws' family, and because the matchmaker is the princess of Li, the Duchess of Anguo also took her daughter to the banquet together." ”

"Duchess Anguo also took her daughter?" Zheng Ying raised her eyes and glanced at Ji Ling.

"yes. After all, today is the banquet of Grand Prince Mu and Gu Jiujie, and the Duchess of An Guo should have attended. Ji Ling looked confused, but still answered honestly. This is actually not an important matter, and it is worth asking more questions from the master?

"Hmm." Zheng Ying lowered her head again and nodded very casually, as if she was just asking casually: "Who did you send to the Gu family to give gifts today?" ”

"Yun Bai went in person." Ji Ling showed a wicked smile on his face: "This kind of thing, of course, is to send the master's personal inner supervisor to go in person, so that the master's respect for Scholar Gu is not it?" Originally, Yun Bai was not on duty today, and his subordinates were the people who went to his house to find him. When the master guessed that when he went down, where was Yunbai? ”

"Where can I be," Zheng Ying sneered: "It's just that I found all kinds of excuses to get in front of Yueniang." You did a good job on this errand, Yueniang was a good candidate, and Zhiling trained well. ”

"Yes!" Ji Ling nodded happily: "Master, my subordinates see that the fire is almost over, it's time to add fire." ”

"You can do it yourself," Zheng Ying nodded: "Remember, don't use your own people, pretend to be a landlord, and just find a few scoundrels to make trouble at will." Yun Bai is a person personally trained by the queen, he is very shrewd, and he is still heart-oriented, so don't show clues everywhere. ”

"Yes!" Ji Ling nodded.

"Also," a sneer appeared on the corner of Zheng Ying's lips: "Another day Yunbai gets married, don't be angry, gather some good gifts to congratulate him." Tell Yueniang that she must use all the means she has learned in the Sleeping Willow Pavilion to envelop Yun Bai. ”

"Master, don't worry," Ji Lingle said: "Yueniang was the top brand of the Sleeping Willow Pavilion back then. ”

Zheng Ying bowed slightly: "You guys, I don't have anything to worry about." Yun Bai doesn't need to pay much attention here, everything will wait for him to get married. How is Qiao Wenjin doing there, he has been in the military department for almost a month, but he is still adapting? ”

"It's all good." Ji Ling nodded: "Qiao Wenjin is very smart, he doesn't need to be carefully instructed in everything, he can figure it out by himself." At the moment, he knew that he was a bait, and King Yi was staring at him very closely, so he acted very carefully. It's just that the military department is muddy at the moment, Qiao Wenjin can only be sure that Jiang Shilang is actually Xie Xiang's person, and the other two of the three new directors who have been added in, one is a student of Gu University, and the other is unknown, Qiao Wenjin suspects that it is still Li Xiang's person. ”

"Li Xiang's people are the people of King Yi." Zheng Ying replied: "In this way, four of the six directors of the military department are still in the hands of Li Xiang. ”

"Lin Xiang didn't intervene," Ji Ling shook his head: "The subordinates really didn't expect it." ”

"He shouldn't have expected that Senior Scholar Gu would cooperate with Xie Xiang to divide the military department," Zheng Ying lowered his head, quickly pulled out a piece of paper, wrote a few words, folded it and put it in an envelope: "It's just the position of the principal, for Lin Xianglai, if he loses it, he loses it, and what he is eyeing is actually the Shang scholar's position." This letter was quickly sent to Chunzhou, so that people could find out everything about He Wenmao when he was in office in Chunzhou, and there was no room for omission. In addition, send someone to contact the history of Chunzhou's assassination. ”

"A person like Chunzhou Assassin Shi," although Ji Ling took the envelope obediently, he still had some questions: "I have already fallen to King Yi in private, but in fact, my subordinates feel that such a person is not of high value to us." ”

"Anyone has value." Zheng Ying smiled faintly: "Chunzhou Thorn Shi is a person, according to our intelligence, didn't he also show favor like Scholar Gu?" Since he is a human being, he is inevitably greedy, hugging a few thighs in private, and delusionally thinking about being exquisite. Think about it, did he just expect to save his life in the Tongshan Ordnance Case? ”

"The master means ......" Ji Ling looked a little abrupt.

"That's right." Zheng Ying nodded: "Originally, he and Chunzhou Mansion Yin He Wenmao were grasshoppers on a rope. But He Wenmao was not only not implicated in the ordnance case, but was praised by the saint under the protection of Lin Xiang and transferred back to Beijing. The black cauldron of this private criminal's ordnance has been carried by Wangzhou, reasoning, the Chunzhou Assassin History should be the same as the Chunzhou Mansion Yin, not only has no fault, but has merit, but He Wenmao has returned to Beijing, but the Assassin has not received any benefits, do you think he can feel comfortable? ”

"The human heart is insufficient!" Ji Ling shook his head and laughed: "That subordinate immediately ordered to go down and let people get in touch with the history of Chunzhou's assassination." ”

"Private contact." Zheng Ying said more: "And you should also be careful in your identity." ”

"Master rest assured," Ji Ling nodded: "There is a suitable spy under his subordinates, this person's identity on the surface is a private goods merchant, the master knows, this is a headless business, so if the private goods merchant does not have a protective umbrella in the official government, the business will not be able to continue." Therefore, this type of person pays the most attention to interacting with officials, and is willing to spend money on the upper and lower points, and it is not easy to arouse suspicion to contact the history of Chunzhou assassination in this capacity. What does the master think? ”

"Just look at it." Zheng Ying nodded.

"Besides, master, there is something I would like to ask you to show me." Ji Ling said again: "Today, a child of the Yingchuan Han clan found Qiao Wenjin, and I want Qiao Wenjin to help introduce you and see you." Of course, Qiao Wenjin didn't dare to make a decision privately, so he found an excuse to shirk it, and the skirt didn't bother much, just told Qiao Wenjin that he lived in the Tongxing Street Inn in Nanshi. Afterwards, Qiao Wenjin sent someone to deliver a message to his subordinates, master, what do you see? ”

"Yingchuan Han Clan?" Zheng Ying frowned slightly: "Instead of contacting the second emperor sister and the fourth emperor brother through the news channel we gave to the second emperor sister and the fourth emperor brother, but went to Beijing by himself?" ”

"Yes!" Ji Ling nodded: "If it is through the second princess and the fourth prince, it will not find Qiao Wenjin." ”
