Chapter 184: The Secret of Jingheyuan (Part II)

Xia Jinse thought deeply, it seems that she wants to keep a snack and find an opportunity to ask Lan Beichen.

Since Jingheyuan didn't find anything abnormal, Lin Qianyi and the others went shopping, and they were not interested, and everyone left quickly, and after talking for a while, they said goodbye to each other and left.

On the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xia Jinse asked Chaiyun how much she knew about Ninghou.

Chaiyun said: "Miss, the slave doesn't know much, I only know that Huininghou is the younger brother of the queen's mother, a serious relative, and Mrs. Huininghou also has a relationship with the queen mother, saying that she is a distant niece." Therefore, the Marquis of Huining has always been close to the eldest prince, and before the case, he had always been very trusted by the emperor, and because of this, he made such a serious mistake that the emperor was angry and directly raided the house. ”

Xia Jinse groaned, since this is the case, then Lan Beichen wants to come to this mansion, maybe not just because he is next door to the Great Prince's Mansion, which is convenient for monitoring Lan Jingcheng. Most likely, Jingheyuan has other secrets.

"Let's go, let's not go back yet, go to the Jin Palace." didn't figure this out, Xia Jinse was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep, so she had to ask Lan Beichen for clarification.

As soon as the people from the Jin Palace's Mansion saw Xia Jinse coming, they hurriedly greeted him respectfully.

The housekeeper Zhou Ping said respectfully: "Miss Xia, the prince has entered the palace, I'm afraid I will have to wait for a while......"

Xia Jinse didn't mind, she knew that Lan Beichen was busy: "It's okay, I'll wait for him, the prince is back, just tell me, I'll find a place to rest first." After wandering around Jingheyuan for so long, she was also a little tired.

Zhou Ping thought for a while, and directly took Xia Jinse to Fuyun Pavilion: "Miss Xia will rest here first, and then let people prepare some tea and pastries, and when the prince comes back, tell Miss Xia immediately." ”

Fuyun Pavilion, true to its name, is a three-story mansion surrounded by a clear lake. There are clusters of small white flowers floating on the surface of the lake, piled up like clouds, standing on the upper floor and looking out, like a piece of white clouds, long and elegant.

The decoration of the house is also quiet, and as soon as you enter, you will have a sense of tranquility.

Xia Jinse looked around casually, while drinking some tea, looking around at the furnishings of the Fuyun Pavilion, it was the first time she came to the inner courtyard of the Jin Palace, so carefully.

When Zhou Ping took his subordinates away, Chasing Yun said meaningfully: "Miss, do you know what place Fuyun Pavilion is?" ”

"It's not just a place to rest, what else?" Xia Jinse was puzzled.

"This is the place where the prince rests, and every night, the prince lives in the Floating Cloud Pavilion. When the young lady gets married in the future, maybe she will live here every day. Chasing Yun smiled secretly, when Zhou Ping brought Xia Jinse here, she understood.

In the eyes of everyone in the Jin Palace, I am afraid that Miss will already be the ninth princess.

Xia Jinse suddenly felt a little red, it turned out that this was Lan Beichen's bedroom, so fairy-like, how could she have thought of so much?

"The slave maid doesn't disturb the young lady's rest, she goes out first, and the young lady will call the slave and the maid if she has any instructions." Chasing Yun said with a smile, and retreated. This is the prince's private place, and she doesn't dare to stay for a long time.

Only Xia Jin was left in the room

Se alone, he didn't have so many scruples, and he looked east and west curiously.

Lan Beichen's bedroom, this is his most private place, Xia Jinse looked at the outer room, the gilded copper lamp, the faint scent of sandalwood, floating in the air. The bead curtain fell from the beam, each one was a green jade bead, and when the wind blew, it made a crisp and pleasant sound. The shelves are full of books, and all kinds of files and documents on the desk are neatly organized.

She didn't look through it, not because she wasn't curious, but because of the rules. Even if Lan Beichen wouldn't hide anything from her, she wouldn't touch his things without permission. This is her basic code of conduct, mutual respect and mutual trust.

It is really an elegant place, Xia Jinse looked at it, and simply sat on Lan Beichen's bed, feeling sleepy for a while. Curled up, she fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

I don't know how long it took, Xia Jinse vaguely heard something, and when he opened his eyes, he was actually asleep on the bed. Her coat had been taken off, and her body was still covered with a thin quilt, and when she turned over, she saw Lan Beichen coming in with something.

"Woke up, what a coincidence, just got up and got something to eat." Lan Beichen smiled and placed a stew pot on the table.

Xia Jinse was a little embarrassed, touching her messy long hair, and the hairpin didn't know where it was crooked, she got up with a grunt, quickly put on her coat, and then whispered: "When did you come back?" ”

"Come back for two hours, see that you are asleep, and carry you to bed." Lan Beichen said very naturally: "Next time you are sleepy, just go to bed and rest, and then sleep on the side of the bed like this, and see if you will have pain in your body when you wake up." ”

"Got it...... Xia Jinse had a little heartbeat, it seemed that Lan Beichen didn't mind her sleeping in his bed at all.

When he went out of the bedroom, Chasing Yun had already prepared hot water, and after Xia Jinse simply freshened up, he ate something, and it was almost dusk. Xia Jinse remembered the purpose of his coming and asked Lan Beichen about Jingheyuan.

"I knew you would be curious, but it took so many days to ask, yes." Lan Beichen's smile was meaningful.

He picked up a green melon on the table and peeled it, and said, "Sit down, I'll tell you slowly." ”

Xia Jinse hurried over and picked up a green melon curiously, what kind of fruit is this? She hasn't seen it yet. But Lan Beichen had already started to speak, and she immediately listened attentively.

Lan Jingcheng's case implicated many people, including the Huininghou family. Huining Hou is to help Lan Jingcheng buy it. One of the important figures of the official, he has a lot of evidence of Lan Jingcheng's crimes, and there are many of them that have not been found. ”

The Marquis of Huining had been beheaded and his family was exiled, but he seemed to have expected this day and had already made careful arrangements. At the time of the arrest of Huining Hou, the whereabouts of his eldest son Xiao Yuanbai were unknown, and he has not been arrested so far.

Lan Beichen said as he cut a slice of melon, gave a piece to Xia Jinse's mouth, and continued: "I told the emperor, this case will be closed for the time being, and then it will be investigated in private, Jingheyuan is a place where Huininghou has been operating for many years, and there will definitely be secrets." Moreover, when the first time it was confiscated, gold and silver property were found, but nothing special was found

, so ......"

Xia Jinse understood, and said: "So you deliberately put Jingheyuan in my name, if there is really any problem, Lan Jingcheng will definitely send someone to investigate." ”

"This is one thing, and the other is that Jinghe Garden is so big, whether it's monitoring Lan Jingcheng or keeping it for yourself, it's pretty good. You can also invite you into the urn, close the door and beat the dog, Jin Se, do you say it's okay? ”

"Well, that's a good idea." Xia Jinse opened his mouth and ate another piece of honeydew melon.

"By the way, do you know the legend of Jingheyuan?"

Lan Beichen smiled: "Did you hear it too?" ”

Xia Jinse said casually: "I think it's unlikely, how can there be any ghosts or anything like that?" But there is no wind and no waves, maybe Hui Ninghou was doing something and was discovered, so he made up this kind of rumor, just to scare people and take the opportunity to cover it up. ”

"Anyway, there are a lot of secrets in Jingheyuan, and we need to investigate them slowly." Lan Beichen said: "Didn't you say that there are still people next door who come to peek, right?" If you pay attention, you might find something. ”

After staying for a while, Lan Beichen sent Xia Jinse back.

Back at Begonia Garden, Xia Jinse divided the emeralds she brought back to everyone, and Lan Beichen asked her to bring a basket back, but she couldn't finish it. You have to let everyone eat it separately, or it will spoil.

Such a sweet melon into honey, everyone eats it with relish, and the woody fragrance is like a treasure, eating it in small bites, and even the juice is reluctant to waste.

"The Nine Princes are so good to Miss, this melon is not easy to eat even the ladies in the palace, the Ninth Prince directly gave Miss so much, even the slaves and maids are blessed to taste it." Mu Xiang said happily.

"The slave maid has already sent it to the eldest young master, and the eldest young master also said that it was delicious." Shooting Moon said.

"By the way, Miss, today the eldest lady sent a lot of subordinates to the eldest prince's mansion, saying that she was going to help the second lady and the eldest prince make porridge, and it will start tomorrow." She said: "It's in the slum in the east of the city, it's very chaotic there, and I don't know what will happen, miss, should we go and see it tomorrow?" ”

Lan Jingcheng and Xia Ruxue's soup porridge must be for fame, otherwise they wouldn't have made such a big splash. It has always been known to rich people to do good deeds and pretend to be publicized, Xia Jinse smiled: "Go ahead, you are idle anyway, let's see what kind of good reputation the second sister wants to make." ”

Early the next morning, the Zhao family went out with the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion and a group of subordinates.

Xia Yanxiu also attached great importance to it, and personally told everyone to do their best and do this well. If it's messed up, it's all punished, it's done, everyone has a reward, and the subordinates are full of enthusiasm when they listen to it, as if they have been beaten with chicken blood.

Xia Jinse expected that this soup soup kitchen must be very pompous, and there was a lot of preparation, she deliberately waited until the sun was three poles, and then slowly went out with the clouds and the moon. But when she arrived at a restaurant in the east of the city and looked out of the window, she realized that the soup kitchen had not yet started.

The east of the city is the most chaotic and poorest place in the capital, Xia Jinse deliberately changed into men's clothes, and there is the protection of chasing clouds and shooting the moon, so he can come here boldly and boldly. It is said to be a restaurant, but it is actually two floors

The tavern on the floor is already a good place nearby.

Opposite the restaurant is Tianshui Street, the largest in the east of the city, and on the left side of the crossroads, Xia Ruxue and Lan Jingcheng's soup kitchen chose this place. On the left used to be a slum with thousands of households, on the right was a street of various livelihood shops, and on the opposite side was a place to buy small groceries and small goods.

Obviously, Lan Jingcheng and they are ready, there are three porridge buckets, and two steamed buns are ready, and there are countless people around, crowds of people, all of them are poor people in tattered clothes.

Women and children with children, the old people are hungry and skinny, even the young men are yellow and thin, if he doesn't come to the slums in person, Xia Jinse simply doesn't know that there are so many suffering people in the capital.

With so many people around, there was no chaos at all, and it was not only the subordinates of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Great Prince's Mansion who maintained order. In the outer circle, there were all people who were snoring and drinking, holding sticks in their hands, etc., and judging by their dress and demeanor, they were all ruffians and hooligans from the east of the city.

"Oh, it's okay to use the ruffians to deter the poor and make them dare not mess around!"

Xia Jinse couldn't help but nod for Lan Jingcheng's method, this method of overcoming one thing and one thing is the best. It did not occupy the resources of the yamen officers, but also gathered these ruffians to prevent them from having the opportunity to make trouble, which has to be said to be a good way.

But in disguise, Xia Jinse also saw one thing: even if Lan Jingcheng was so down, there was still someone to help him do something. Take these ruffians and hooligans as an example, it is not so easy for ordinary officials to control them.

"It's all lined up, don't squeeze or cut in line, who dares to disobey the rules, they don't have to eat! Lao Tzu gave him a few sticks! ”

"What's the hurry, will you starve to death in a while? Without the soup porridge of the eldest prince and the eldest princess, you still don't have to eat, why didn't you starve to death? Let's be honest! ”
