Chapter 186: South and West of the City

"Young lady?" The full moon was at the door, and when she saw Qi Yan suddenly come out, the little maid couldn't help but be surprised: "Young lady, you ......"

Qi Yan said: "I'll go out." ”

When the full moon heard this, her eyes widened: "Now? ”

"Yes." Qi Yan said, "Prepare the carriage, I'm going out now." ”

Full Moon Bao couldn't help asking, "Young lady, where are you going?" ”

"South of the city, west of the city." Qi Yan said.

"South of the city, west of the city?" Full Moon was puzzled, muttered to herself, and said, "There's no business for the young lady there...... You don't seem to have any friends, do you? ”

"By the way, bring some more silver tickets." Qi Yan said slowly, "It's useful." ”

"Oh......" Full Moon nodded and stepped back.

Qi Yan sat in the carriage, supporting his head with one hand, thoughtfully, the little full moon sat beside Qi Yan, and when he saw the young lady like this, he not only asked: "Young lady, what's wrong with the south of the city and the west of the city?" ”

Qi Yan said, "I want to go and see." ”

The little full moon tilted her head: "Where does the young lady have any friends?" ”

Qi Yan said, "No." ”

"That'...... Got a business? After the little maid finished speaking, before Qi Yan could answer, she herself took the lead in denying this.

She has been with Qi Yan for so long, what business Qi Yan has, Xiao Manyue is still very clear.

"Young lady...... Full Moon held her cheeks and looked at Qi Yan, "Let's go to the south and west of the city, what are we going to do?" ”

Qi Yan said: "Observe." ”

The full moon is even more confused: "Observation? ”

"Yes."

The full moon asked, "What are you observing?" ”

"Business." Qi Yan said, rubbed his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Some things seem to be ahead of schedule." ”

"Huh?" The more I listened to the full moon, the more confused I became.

Qi Yan rubbed her head: "You can follow me well, it's fine." ”

That means, don't ask so much.

Full Moon nodded obediently and said, "Oh." ”

…………

…………

The carriage traveled for a long time, and finally reached the west of the city.

Full Moon was the first to get down from the carriage and hold Qi Yan.

Qi Yan stepped out of the carriage and looked at the market, for a while, she didn't move, but looked around for a long time.

"Young lady?" The full moon whispered a reminder to her.

Qi Yan looked back and walked towards the largest and most luxurious teahouse on the street.

When Xiao Er of the teahouse shop saw Qi Yan, he warmly greeted him in, "Guest officer, please come in, please come in." ”

Qi Yan looked at the shopkeeper: "We want a private room." ”

"Okay!" The shopkeeper's white handkerchief shook his shoulder and said, "Guest officer, do you want the first floor or the second floor?" ”

"What's the difference?" Qi Yan asked.

"The second floor is quieter, the price is naturally a little higher, and the first floor is more lively......"

Qi Yan said, "Second floor...... she paused and continued, "I want the best private room." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes lit up and he became more enthusiastic.

"Guest officer, please come with me, you go slowly, ...... this way" The shopkeeper said as he led Qi Yan into the second private room.

Qi Yan walked into the best private room of the teahouse, she didn't look carefully, she turned to look at the shopkeeper next to her: "Your family's teahouse, this is the largest teahouse in the west of the city, right?" ”

"Yes! Be! When the shopkeeper talked about this, he was extremely proud and said, "Although there are many teahouses in Yingjing, if you want to talk about the west of the city, it is definitely the best in our Yongxing teahouse!" ”

Qi Yan bowed his head lightly and said, "I want to meet your boss." ”

"Huh?" The shopkeeper was stunned.

Qi Yan said, he had already taken out the broken silver from his cuffs and handed it to the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper saw the silver, he hurriedly took it and said, "Guest officer, wait a minute, I'll go and help you call our boss." ”

After saying that, he hurried down.

The full moon stood behind Qi Yan and not only asked Qi Yan: "Young lady, you came to the west of the city just to meet the boss here?" ”

Qi Yan bowed: "I have something to ask her." ”

Not long after the words fell, the owner of the teahouse came.

"Guest officer, I heard that you want to see me?" The teahouse owner was a middle-aged fat man, and he smiled very kindly, which was somewhat similar to Zhang Zhiyuan. It's just that he has two beards, which makes him look more funny.

Qi Yan bowed his head and said to the boss, "You can sit down." ”

The boss was a little surprised, but a smiling face covered up the doubts in his heart.

"Guest, is there anything wrong with you?" The boss didn't sit down, but walked forward and asked.

Qi Yan said directly: "I'm Boss Xiao's person......"

As soon as the boss heard the name Xiao Cheng, his face changed slightly, although he immediately went to cover it up, but the panic in his eyes for a moment was still noticed by Qi Yan.

Qi Yan smiled in a low voice and said, "Don't be so nervous, you must know the purpose of my coming today." ”

The boss straightened his thick stomach and said, "Go back and tell Boss Xiao that I can't afford to climb here, and I can't agree to what he said." ”

Qi Yan remained silent and said, "Are you really not thinking about it anymore?" ”

The boss changed his previous kind and honest appearance, his face was tense, and he said categorically, "Don't think about it." ”

After that, he looked at Qi Yan without blinking.

Qi Yan sighed, not knowing if it was a pity or a sigh.

"Guest officer, I'll take my leave first." The boss said, "I invited this tea, you can order it as you like." ”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Qi Yan looked at the other party's back, supported his cheek with one hand, and sighed long.

"Young lady?" Full Moon withdrew his gaze from the teahouse owner and looked at Qi Yan: "You just said that you are Boss Xiao's person?" Who is the little boss? I only know that Boss Ran's name is Ran Xiao, but isn't he Boss Ran? ”

Qi Yan said: "Boss Xiao, your name is Xiao Cheng, you don't know him." ”

"Young lady, then you ......"

"I don't know him." Qi Yan said.

"Uh......" Full Moon scratched the back of her head and said, "Then you just cheated on that boss?" ”

Qi Yan nodded.

The full moon is confused.

Since Qi Yan came to the west of the city, she has been in a fog and doesn't know what Qi Yan is going to do.

Qi Yan didn't take the initiative to explain this time, and Full Moon asked several times, and she answered, but she didn't get to the point.

Qi Yan slowly stood up: "Let's go." ”

Full Moon retracted his thoughts: "Now? Young lady, don't you want to eat something? ”

Qi Yan shook his head and said, "Now go to the south of the city and have a look." ”

"Oh, oh!" The full moon hurriedly followed Qi Yan!

…………

…………

It took a lot of time to get from the west of the city to the south of the city......

The street where the coachman walked, there were many people on the street, and the carriage did not go fast, bumpy, like a cradle.

Qi Yan sat in the car, shaken and drowsy, and she leaned against the wall of the car to nap.

Seeing Qi Yan taking a break, the full moon carefully removed a blanket from the carriage and draped it lightly on Qi Yan.

But in the end, it alarmed Qi Yan, Qi Yan moved, and rubbed his eyes: "It's here?" ”

Full Moon shook her head and said, "There's still some way to go." ”

Qi Yan sat up straight: "Really?" ”

The full moon said, "Young lady, if you are tired, sleep for a while, and I will call you when the time comes." ”

After Qi Yan woke up, the sleepiness had slowly passed, and she was not very sleepy.

"I don't want to sleep." Qi Yan said, lifted the curtain of the car, and glanced out.

"Young lady......" Full Moon licked her lips and said, "If you are not sleepy...... Can you tell me about it? ”

Qi Yan turned his head to look at her: "Tell me?" ”

"Yes." Full Moon said, "I followed you to the west of the city and then to the south of the city today, and I have a lot of doubts in my heart." ”

Qi Yan looked at the maid's serious appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Where are you confused?" You ask. ”

Full Moon said, "Then let's talk first...... Young lady, what are you going to the west of the city for? In the teahouse, I stayed for a while, chatted with the boss for a while, and then ...... We're going to the south of the city. ”

Qi Yan said, "I want to confirm one thing with him. ”

"What's the matter?" Full Moon thought for a moment and said, "That Boss Xiao? ”

Qi Yan bowed his head.

The little maid tilted her head: "Who is this Boss Xiao?" ”

Qi Yan said: "His name is Xiao, it's ......" After a pause, Qi Yan continued: "It's the Sixth Highness today. ”

"Sixth Highness?" The full moon blinks.

Qi Yan bowed, she couldn't explain too much to the full moon, because it involved things in her previous life.

In short, when His Highness the Sixth attacked the Shang Market, it was the prelude to his disturbance of the capital. In my previous life, it was a few years later......

However, I didn't expect this life to advance so much.

Including the teahouse that Qi Yan went to just now, in his previous life, His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness intended to annex this teahouse as his own intelligence network, at that time, Qi Yan had already followed the Six Princes, and she had also participated in this matter, so she knew it very well.

Qi Yan pressed his eyebrows, and suddenly asked Xiao Manyue: "Do you know the power of the court?" ”

Full Moon tilted his head: "I don't know." ”

She is just a little maid, what to do to understand the turbulent dark tide of the court.

Qi Yan said: "In short, the emperor is already an old man, and many people are staring at that position, including the six princes......"

Full Moon's eyes widened: "Sixth Highness? What do you think...... It's not his turn, is it? ”

Although the full moon didn't know that the power of the court was staggered, as a common person in Xujing, she more or less knew that the two princes who were now on the throne were the second prince and the fourth prince.

Among the six princes of the emperor, the crown prince was assassinated, and the remaining five princes.

The second prince was born to the queen, a real concubine, and has a very good reputation among the people.

On the side of the fourth prince, although his background is slightly inferior to that of the second prince, he was also born to the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine's maiden power can almost be described as leaning towards the government and the opposition.

Otherwise, the people all say that the throne is either four or two.

It goes without saying that these two princes are the most likely successors.

As for the Sixth Highness...... He is the youngest of the princes, born to the palace maid, and is very unfavored by the emperor, and he has no achievements in the court.

For the six princes, it's a dream!

In addition to the powerful second prince and the fourth prince in front of him, there are also three princes and five princes, even if the second prince and the fourth prince fight and lose, it will not be the turn of the sixth prince......

"Indeed, judging from the current situation, the throne can't be the turn of the Sixth Highness." Qi Yan's words brought back the full moon's consciousness.

She looked at her young lady and only heard Qi Yan say, "Therefore, His Royal Highness the Sixth intends to reshuffle the cards from the beginning." ”

"Huh?!"

Qi Yan said: "If there is chaos in Yujing, he will have a chance." ”

Full Moon's jaw almost hit the ground, not only because he heard about the Six Princes, but also because he heard it from Qi Yan's mouth.

Young lady, how did you do this?!

It stands to reason that Qi Yan and Chaotang can't hit the ground, but listening to her, they are so sure and convinced.

The full moon didn't just swallow its saliva.

Qi Yan said again: "If Yujing is in chaos...... What will happen to us in Beijing? ”

The full moon blinked: "The fire at the city gate has affected the fish in the pond...... Naturally, we're going to suffer too. ”

Especially the Xie family, which is mostly a business of eating Taiping rice.

Qi Yan said: "So, I'll go and check on the people to see how far the Six Princes have infiltrated." ”

Full Moon gasped deeply and said suddenly, "So...... By going to the teahouse to talk, you just want to know that the Six Princes have infiltrated the body? ”

Qi Yan bowed his head and continued: "We will go to the south of the city in a while, and when we get to the south of the city to inquire about a few shops, I will be able to know how the six princes are doing in the south of the city." ”

Full Moon finally figured out what Qi Yan meant, but the little maid still had doubts and asked, "Young lady...... I still don't understand. ”

"Where do you not understand?" Qi Yan sat up straight and patiently answered the little girl's questions.

"You said that the six princes want to be emperors...... Therefore, he plans to mess up Yujing......" the full moon blinked, "infiltrating his own power in the commercial market, how can he disrupt Yujing and reshuffle the cards?" ”

Qi Yan smiled and rubbed the maid's head: "That's right, if there is a riot in Xujing, what is needed is force, not commerce. ”

The full moon kept nodding, so how could the six princes disrupt the order of Xujing.

"Commerce is just one step for the Six Princes." Qi Yan replied.

"Just, one of them?" The full moon blinks.

Qi Yan smiled: "Don't forget, money can make ghosts grind." She said, let out a long sigh, and continued, "When the emperor takes a breath, the battle for the throne will definitely break out!" When the time comes, it will inevitably be necessary to use a lot of gold and silver to make up and down ......"

When the full moon heard this, she swallowed: "Young lady, I, I still have one of the biggest doubts. ”

Qi Yan bowed: "You ask." ”

Full Moon said: "If only the emperor had chosen an heir before he died......"

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

When she explained to Full Moon just now, she actually forgot about this - Full Moon is not a reborn person, so when Full Moon didn't know about his previous life, the emperor didn't set up a prince before he died.

As for why the emperor didn't write a posthumous photo...... Probably because he didn't know that he would die so suddenly.

In his previous life, the emperor's death could not be concealed at all, because he was assassinated in front of everyone.

The emperor sacrificed to the sky, and then, he was pierced in the chest by a sword of the eunuch accompanying him, and died on the spot.

The palace just wants to hide it, and it can't be hidden.

Qi Yan raised his hand and rubbed Manyue's hair and said, "If things are like what you say, it will be fine." ”
