Chapter 118: Design
"Your Excellency, your lord ordered that person, and his subordinates have already tracked it down." Lu Xuan was discussing with Zhao Qingfeng about Luo Yujin, and the official sent to track down Luo Yujiao's lover had also rushed back.
Lu Xuan immediately looked at the returning servant: "Can you find out who had an affair with Luo Yujiao?" ”
The official nodded: "This person's name is Yang Yi, I met Luo Yujiao by chance a few months ago, and we have been in contact since then. ”
Hearing this, before Lu Xuan could speak, Zhao Qingfeng on the side looked suspicious: "Yang Yi? Are you talking about Yang Yi, who is in the cloth business in Shengjing City? ”
The official nodded, but Lu Xuan was surprised: "What, Brother Zhao knows this person?" ”
Zhao Qingfeng nodded: "This person was originally a neighbor with his subordinates, and then he moved away when the family's business became bigger, I haven't seen it in these years, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." ”
"Then Brother Zhao is familiar with this Yang Yike?" Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask more, and there seemed to be something in his heart.
Zhao Qingfeng responded: "Although I haven't been in touch in recent years, I am still an old neighbor, and there is still a friendship between the last one and the other." ”
This is exactly what Lu Xuan wanted: "Since this is the case, I'm afraid I will have to bother Brother Zhao this time." ”
Lu Xuan's words were humble, and Zhao Qingfeng hurriedly leaned down: "The adult's words are serious, Zhao is a fast catcher, and it is within his duty to do things for the adult, even if the adult commands." ”
Only then did Lu Xuan signal Zhao Qingfeng to make an appointment to meet Yang Yi, and she herself went back to the post station to discuss further matters with Gu Huanli.
As soon as Lu Xuan arrived at the post station, Gu Huanli joked at her: "I heard that Lu Xianling boasted about Haikou in front of the people today, and he will force Luo Yujin and others to pay taxes within three days, right?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little weak-hearted, didn't she dare to make such a promise to see that there was a master like Gu Huanli in charge?
After pondering for a while, Lu Xuan spoke: "I have already found a way to deal with it, but I still need His Highness's help." ”
In fact, from the moment Lu Xuan entered the door, Gu Huanli expected it, since she moved to the post station, even if she was separated by a wall, she never took the initiative to come to the door, maybe this is the saying that nothing will go to the Three Treasures Palace.
Gu Huanli didn't care, anyway, Lu Xuan had always been like this.
"What tricks does Lu County Ling have, let's hear it." Gu Huan listened attentively.
Only then did Lu Xuan speak: "I ordered someone to find out that the wife of the secretary of the military department and a cloth owner in Shengjing gave it privately, so I want to ask His Royal Highness for help, and ask the secretary of the military department to meet this person." ”
Hearing this, Gu Huanli couldn't help but sneer: "As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage, Lu County ordered this trip to be too unkind." ”
Lu Xuan naturally knew that Gu Huanli's words were deliberately teasing himself, after all, when it came to unkind and unrighteous things, he himself did no less than anyone else.
Lu Xuan didn't answer Gu Huanli, but only continued to beg him.
Gu Huanli was originally here to help Lu Xuan solve difficulties and accumulate political achievements, she took the initiative to speak, and he would not refuse.
"Okay, this king will help you this time." Gu Huanli agreed: "It's just a matter of later......"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Xuan hurriedly took over: "I will do my best for the rest of the matter, and I will not bother His Highness again." ”
Lu Xuan was already grateful for Gu Huanli's help like this, so how could he dare to ask for more? She hurriedly accepted it when she saw it.
But in fact, what Gu Huanli wanted to say was that the matters related to the military department were widely implicated, so they were all handed over to him to deal with, and there was no need for Lu Xuan to interfere.
But since Lu Xuan had already said it, Gu Huanli didn't hesitate to explain, so he had to nod his head: "This king will arrange it as soon as possible, and you can go to your three-day appointment." ”
After that, Gu Huanli immediately turned around and went back to the inner room to rest, and didn't forget to tease Lu Xuan before leaving, which was really annoying.
With Gu Huanli's promise, Lu Xuan felt more at ease.
On the other hand, because Zhao Qingfeng had traveled to the rivers and lakes for many years, had extensive knowledge, and was an old acquaintance with Yang Yi, Lu Xuan immediately sent him to Shengjing to meet Yang Yi.
At that time, as soon as Zhao Qingfeng entered the Yang Mansion, he saw a charming woman leaving in a hurry with a veil.
He couldn't help but look back at the woman a few times, and a little suspicion instantly appeared in his heart.
turned to enter the door, and saw his old acquaintance at a glance, Zhao Qingfeng immediately stepped forward: "Yang Yi! ”
Hearing this, Yang Yi turned his head and thought for a moment before remembering, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Zhao Qingfeng? ”
Zhao Qingfeng nodded, old friends met, and the two greeted each other for a while, and he remembered the woman just now.
"I haven't seen you for so many years, but Brother Yang has married a wife? Why don't you invite my brother to drink a glass of wine when you get married? Zhao Qingfeng asked with a joking look.
Yang Yi hurriedly denied: "What did Brother Zhao say, Yang has been busy taking care of Buzhuang for many years, how can he have time to think about marrying a wife?" ”
This is strange, Zhao Qingfeng immediately asked: "Is it?" But when I just entered the door, I bumped into a beautiful woman, although she was masked, but just looking at her body was quite captivating, wasn't it my sister-in-law? ”
Hearing this, an obvious sadness appeared on Yang Yi's face, and his eyes dodged.
Looking at him like this, the conjecture in Zhao Qingfeng's heart was probably confirmed-
The woman he bumped into just now who didn't dare to show her true face and didn't dare to be mentioned by Yang Yi must be Luo Yujiao, the wife of the military department Shangshu and Luo Yujin's sister who was going to be tracked down this time.
After a long time, Yang Yi shook his head: "No, it's just a distant relative." ”
After hastily explaining, he hurriedly changed the topic: "It's Brother Zhao, aren't you traveling around?" Why did you have time to come to my house? ”
Zhao Qingfeng smiled slightly: "I just passed by, I heard someone mention it, I thought it might be you, so I looked for it all the way, but I didn't expect it to be true, I haven't seen it for a long time, and I'm really a little worried." ”
After thinking for a while, it may be a good reason to reunite after a long absence, Zhao Qingfeng simply took advantage of the situation and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I wonder if Brother Yang can enjoy the light and have a drink in a nearby restaurant?" ”
Zhao Qingfeng knows Yang Yi, this person has a good face since he was a child, at this time he opened his mouth to make an appointment, presumably Yang Yi will not refuse in order to show off his recent situation, but will also feast on it.
Sure enough, even after all these years, human nature is still difficult to change.
As soon as Zhao Qingfeng's words fell, Yang Yi happily responded: "Okay, it's rare to see Brother Zhao, so Yang will do his best to be a landlord and take Brother Zhao to Yang's frequent Yanyun Pavilion for a drink." ”
Yanyun Pavilion? That's where the dignitaries and nobles of Shengjing go, how many ordinary people don't even have the blessing of standing at the door and taking a look inside, but Yang Yi is a light "often go" and makes the decision?
Sure enough, it's not that Zhao Qingfeng thinks too much, his personality that loves to show off has really not changed at all over the years.
However, when you go out to handle cases, you can still enjoy a gluttonous feast by the way, how could Zhao Qingfeng refuse? He immediately responded.
The master is at his disposal, and Yang Yi handed over the time to Zhao Qingfeng to decide, so that he was just waiting for the news from Gu Huanli's side.
Zhao Qingfeng was ordered to respond to Lin Wei, and Lin Wei Fang Dao Gu Huanli had arranged for the Hubu Shangshu to meet with the Military Shangshu in Yanyun Pavilion tonight, and it would be the time for Yang Yi to show up.
With Lin Wei's information, Zhao Qingfeng and Yang Yi set the time.
The two of them came to the private room of Yanyun Pavilion in the evening and sat down.
Zhao Qingfeng learned in advance that the military department Shangshu had booked a seat here, and as soon as he came, he took Yang Yi next door.
The environment here is elegant, and the private room is only separated by a wall, if the people here speak loudly, most of them will hear it clearly.
But Yang Yi had just concealed the matter with Luo Yujiao from his old friend, how could he tell the truth in front of the military department?
Zhao Qingfeng thought about it again and again, if there was no wine to help, he was afraid that Yang Yi would never be able to tell the truth.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qingfeng ordered someone to send spirits, saying that he wanted to drink with Yang Yi, but he didn't think much about it, so he readily agreed.
In this way, Zhao Qingfeng pretended to talk and laugh with Yang Yi on the one hand, and on the other hand, he controlled the amount of alcohol to ensure that Yang Yi still spoke before the arrival of the military department.
Finally, there was movement in the private room next door, Zhao Qingfeng deliberately left a gap in the door, and saw two richly dressed people passing by, and he immediately lifted his spirits.
Next door, there was no joy on the face of the military department Shangshu, the military department and the household department were loyal to the incompatible prince and the fierce king, respectively, and he was asked to meet by the household department, so he naturally did not have a good face.
"What is the matter with Lord Guo's appointment to meet with this official?" Tan Sicheng, the secretary of the military department, said gloomily.
Only then did Guo Yanzhao speak: "It's just some private matters related to adults. ”
"The official's private affairs?" Tan Sicheng looked incredulous: "How did Master Guo know about the official's private affairs?" ”
Guo Yanzhao raised his lips and smiled: "It's just hearsay." ”
Selling Guan Zi like this really annoyed Tan Sicheng: "If there is anything, just say it, don't make a fool of yourself in front of the official." ”
"Guo has no intention of making a fuss, but this matter is a matter of Lord Tan's family, and I hope Lord Tan will not be angry." reminded Tan Sicheng of the awakening, and Guo Yanzhao said slowly:
"Does Lord Tan know that his wife has an ulterior relationship with the owner of Nasheng Lanbu Village?"
Hearing this, Tan Sicheng was furious: "What did you say? ”
The sound of the case shocked Zhao Qingfeng next door, and it seemed that the time for him to appear was not far away.
Seeing that Tan Sicheng was furious, Guo Yanzhao was not panicked, and still looked indifferent: "As far as I know, the owner of the cloth village is next door, if Lord Tan doesn't believe it, you can go with me to find out." ”
"Just go!" What man has endured such humiliation since ancient times? Hearing that the person who dared to move his wife was next door, whether it was true or not, Tan Sicheng couldn't wait to rush over and slash him.
The two then walked towards the next door, but when they arrived at the door, Guo Yanzhao grabbed Tan Sicheng: "If you want to know the truth, you can wait here for a while." ”
When he heard the movement at the door, Zhao Qingfeng sat up straight and prepared to test, but Yang Yi in front of him was already drunk and began to talk nonsense.
"Brother Yang, in fact, the beautiful woman I saw in your mansion today is Luo Yujiao, the wife of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War." Zhao Qingfeng asked tentatively.
The angry man outside the door held his breath for a moment.
