Chapter 290: The Second Prince's Mansion (4)
Cao Ting went to the Second Prince's Mansion, and it happened that Ji Lin had already finished asking everyone over there.
After Cao Ting recovered, he sat on the stool, holding the statistical paper handed over by Ji Lin in his hand and looking at it.
Ji Lin felt that Cao Ting seemed to be in a much better mood after a trip, but in this case, it would be good for him to think about it in his heart, so naturally he would not bring it up.
Seeing Cao Ting looking over more and more carefully, he didn't know if God was helping him, but he really found two people who were quite suspicious.
If you want to say that it looks like it, it is because Cao Tingyue certainly knows who the culprit is, and the two people Cao Tingyue found are just looking at them, which will make people feel that there are some suspicious characters.
And what Cao Tingyu is looking for at this time is exactly such a person.
Cao Tingyue clicked the names of these two people, and then asked the rest of the people to go back, since he was going to investigate the case in the two princes' mansions, naturally he couldn't be the only one who was Ji Lin.
Although Dongchang has always been known for its fairness, if it is easy to make a decision, it may still be criticized.
Although Cao Tingyue can naturally do "empty eyes", even if someone mentions him, it will be regarded as if there is no such thing, but now in the end, he is also controlled by others, and he is not good at leaving people with any words and handles.
Cao Tingyue either doesn't do it, if he does something, he will definitely be cautious enough.
Therefore, he naturally left the housekeeper by his side at this time.
He knew very well that he was leaving the housekeeper by his side at this time, and the words he asked were not so much for the housekeeper as for the second prince.
"It is written here, before you were appointed as the advisors of the second prince, you all lived in remote counties?"
"Yes." The two of them spoke weakly and crumblingly, "I was appreciated by the second prince, so I entered the second prince's mansion." ”
"If you are in a remote place, you will meet His Royal Highness the Second Prince when you enter the capital, it seems that your luck is really good?"
"Heaven has mercy." One of the thinner men spoke, and then lowered his head and said, "The Second Prince has the grace of sheltering us, and in this life, I am willing to smear His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”
"You don't have to say that to me." Cao Tingyu interrupted him, and then smiled, "As long as the second prince knows your loyalty, it's fine." ”
The thin man was silent.
Cao Tingyue asked again, "It was said that he was debating with people in the teahouse, so that the second prince could hear it?" At that time, I invited two of you into the house? ”
"Yes. It's just a coincidence. ”
"Then it seems that the two pockets are also quite rich?"
The thin man spoke again, obviously more than another classmate, he was in a position to speak, "My lord said that we are just people from a small place, and it is not easy to get help from His Royal Highness, where is there any wealth." ”
Cao Ting's smile became a little thicker the more he smiled, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince is afraid that they are all good teahouses and inns, and they will never drink tea on the street." Since the two of them can meet His Royal Highness the Second Prince, it must be a good teahouse. ”
The two paused, looked at each other secretly, and did not dare to say a word.
I only thought that the people in the East Factory were the people of the East Factory, and they were so keen, just from their origins and how they entered the Second Prince's Mansion, they could actually detect and doubt it.
In the end, they are not cautious enough.
The more Cao Ting talked about this, he naturally wouldn't continue to ask, give them a little time, and tell them to go back and make some preparations by themselves, so that they can hope to show some flaws.
He smiled, and then waved his hand casually, "Let's go back and rest, I don't think you will rest again, you will lie down in the blink of an eye." ”
The two of them hadn't been able to drink any medicine in the first place, and it was normal to look unwell at this time.
Cao Tingyue glanced at the housekeeper and saw that his expression was serious, and his eyes were firmly fixed in the direction where the two people left.
The corners of Cao Tingyu's lips hooked without a trace.
Then he stood up, "Okay, I'll check out here today." ”
The housekeeper immediately came back to his senses and lowered his head, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"Your Majesty's orders, why do you have to work hard."
There was still temptation in the butler's words, "Do you think that the adults have gained anything today?" ”
"Of course, there is a harvest, the housekeeper listens clearly on the side, what I hear and what the housekeeper hears are the same, as for how to judge and understand, I want to come to the housekeeper also has his own ideas."
The butler immediately said, "The old slave is an ignorant person, how dare he talk too much about such a big matter?" ”
Cao Tingyue smiled, and didn't plan to continue with this, but just turned his head and glanced at Ji Lin, "Let's go." ”
Ji Lin followed Cao Tingyu and went out.
Only the housekeeper's eyes were heavy, and he turned his head and went to the courtyard of the second prince.
Today, he naturally didn't come for nothing, since it was Cao Tingyue who had already shown such a tone in front of him, he also thought that he wanted to relay everything to the second prince.
After hearing this, the second prince frowned, "You mean, is he suspicious of those two people?" ”
Although he didn't say it directly, but in the end, he left these two people to ask alone, and there was a meaning that he didn't believe their words, according to the old slave, he was afraid that he was suspicious."
To be honest, there are too many people in the second prince's house.
Even these strategists and so on are innumerable. The second prince just can't remember who they are, and how these people entered the palace.
So when the housekeeper mentioned these two people, the second prince even felt very unfamiliar.
He frowned, "Since Cao Tingyue has already given a hint, you are staring at the two of them with a few people, if they have a ghost in their hearts, they are afraid that if they make Cao Tingyue such an explosion, they will have to panic, and when the time comes, they will show their feet." ”
The housekeeper understood, he glanced at the second prince carefully, and saw that his face was still almost pale, and somehow, it seemed that he had been poisoned the most, so he still asked, "Your Highness thinks, will it be them?" ”
The second prince really can't remember the two of them, but now it seems that there is no other way than to believe in Cao Tingyue.
Although he knew that Cao Tingyu was not dealing with them.
The last time at the queen's Qianqiu banquet, he exposed the matter of his soldiers in public, so he had a conflict with the queen, and the two can be said to be like fire and water.
However, the second prince also knew that the reason why he would not give himself face like this was precisely because he was from Dongchang.
And the people of Dongchang never need to give face to anyone, and they will not give face to anyone.
Perhaps such a person who is completely loyal to the emperor can also reassure him that he will not come against himself.
"Whether it's them or not, there's nothing wrong with staring." The second prince made a rare sarcastic sentence, "After all, if it weren't for them, this Cao Zhangxing would definitely have to come up with someone in these two days, after all, it's nothing if he can't explain to us, but he has to explain to his father." He is now the second-in-command of the East Factory, if he can't do such a thing, he is afraid that he will provoke people's handles. ”
The butler understood, nodded and went out.
And over there, Cao Tingyue took Ji Lin out, "Contact those two people." ”
Ji Lin frowned, "We? ”
"What are we going to contact them?" Cao Ting smiled more and more, "You go and check, before nightfall today, I want to know if they are the people of the eldest prince, if so, you can directly arrange the identity of the eldest prince to contact them." ”
Ji Lin understood, this is to blame the eldest prince.
But he was still a little uneasy, "I'm afraid that if you cry out for injustice at that time, you won't be able to do this thing beautifully." ”
"Shouting grievances?" Cao Ting laughed more and more, "Then as long as you tell him not to cry out for injustice, it's all right." ”
This Ji Lin just understood what Cao Tingyu meant, his face didn't change, he just lowered his head, "Yes, the slave knows." ”
"Let's do it quickly." Cao Tingyue glanced at him, "But remember, you can't let people find out at will." ”
"Yes." Cao Tingyue is actually just too much to explain, Ji Lin has always been cautious about this kind of thing, Dongchang's anti-tracking is well-known, and Ji Lin is a leader, not to mention it.
Therefore, early the next morning, the second prince received a reply saying that last night, someone had indeed entered the house of those two people, and the lights had been on for a long time.
"But did you chase it out?"
The butler nodded, "Yes, but the person who came was very good, and he couldn't chase a few streets, so he was gone." ”
The second prince frowned, "Is this lost?" ”
The housekeeper was a bit overwhelmed.
The second prince looked at him, "What else is there to say?" ”
The housekeeper said, "It's not that it's completely lost, it's just that our people followed him to the vicinity of Jichun Street, and the person disappeared completely." ”
"Jichun Street ......" The second prince put these three words to his lips and tasted them carefully for a while.
Everyone knows that there is a particularly noble family on Jichun Street, that is, the Great Prince's Mansion, there is a curfew at night, and it is impossible for ordinary people to go out, and it is even more impossible for that person to go to Jichun Street for no reason.
The second prince vaguely had an answer in his heart.
But the butler still had a voice in his heart, and he always felt that this matter was a little strange, so he said, "Your Highness, you say...... Is it possible ......"
Blame for blame?
Although the housekeeper didn't say this, the second prince also knew what he meant.
He shook his head and said, "No, you just need to send someone and we will ask you carefully." ”
Originally, he didn't want to startle the snake, and wanted to wait for Cao Ting to recover before asking, but the second prince suddenly changed his mind, "Go, pass those two people over." ”
The butler should have been, and hurried away, but it didn't take long for him to come back with a pale face, and he couldn't speak anymore, "Your Highness...... Those two ......"
"What? Ran away? ”
"Dead!"
