Chapter 284: The Secret of the Great Lady
The matter of the bandits, under the tacit understanding of all parties, covered up the past.
Within a few days, the news of auspicious luck in various places spread to the capital, and the surrounding small countries came to pay tribute, which finally made people forget this absurd thing.
Chi Yun went to Huating Bridge again.
Boss Ding, who was cutting paper, heard a light cough and immediately put on a professional smile: "Guest officer, ...... point"
Before he could say anything, he showed a surprised expression: "Miss Chi, this is really a distinguished guest." ”
Chi Yun smiled and said, "Uncle Ding, just call me Ah Yun." ”
Boss Ding was not polite, and immediately changed his words: "Ah Yun, are you going out alone?" Didn't scare last time? ”
Before Chi Yun could answer, Lou Yan's long figure appeared at the door of the store.
Boss Ding realized: "Oh, it turns out that someone is escorting." ”
Ji Yun asked, "Is Madame here?" ”
Boss Ding nodded, called the guys to look after the store, and led them to the backyard with crutches himself.
The eldest lady is inspecting the authorities in the courtyard.
Chi Yun watched her stuff the sharp bamboo arrows back into the corner of the wall and cover them with weeds, and her back was a little cold.
If this triggers the trap unintentionally, it will probably be shot into a honeycomb, right?
"Sister!" Boss Ding shouted, "Ah Yun is here." ”
The eldest lady smiled and nodded to them, washed her hands and came over to say hello.
"Why is Lord Lou here?"
Lou Yan said succinctly: "Rest today." ”
The eldest lady didn't want to listen to this answer, and said, "Even if you are resting, Lord Lou has a lot of things to do, right?" Why is it good to always bother you? ”
Lou Yan glanced at her and replied cautiously: "Other things are not as important as this one." ”
The eldest lady smiled and said to him seriously: "Ah Yun usually lives in Chaofang Palace, I haven't taken much care of her, there is Lord Laolou, and I will bother to take care of it in the future." ”
"Madame is gracious, as it should be."
Boss Ding handed over the tea with a smile: "That day, Lord Lou bothered to save him, explaining that he was his own person, so don't say polite words." ”
Finally brought to this topic, Chi Yun continued to follow: "Madam and Uncle Ding also bothered, if you hadn't found out in time, I wouldn't have been able to get out so easily." ”
Boss Ding waved his hand: "It also happened that the eldest princess's secret guard fell behind our house, and I found out that something happened to you." ”
Chi Yun smiled: "But ordinary people can't recognize the eldest princess's secret guard." ”
The room was quiet.
Chi Yun poured a cup of tea and handed it to them: "So, Madam and Uncle Ding, who are they?" The secret guard's methods are known so clearly. ”
"We are Jianghu people." Boss Ding's smile remained unchanged and said, "In the early years, I wandered the rivers and lakes, and then I injured my leg, so I retired with my sister and used my life savings to open a shop to make a living. Then, Ah Mei married your father, and it became what it is now. ”
Lou Yan lightly touched the teacup: "Boss Ding, Jianghu people and secret agents are different. ”
“……”
The eldest lady bumped into her brother in disgust, and apologized sincerely: "Lord Lou, our brother and sister are indeed from secret agents, as for the specific source, it is not convenient to say now." However, I can assure you that when I marry my lord, my past identity will not matter. ”
Lou Yan looked at her seriously for a while, nodded slightly, and then asked, "Why did Madame marry into the Chi family?" ”
The eldest lady's smile brought out a little bitterness, lowered her head to look at the tea, and said slowly: "Once on a mission, the eldest brother injured his leg, and our brother and sister were cornered, but it was the master who saved us." Later, we followed my lord to the capital and opened this shop to make a living. At that time, my wife had passed away, and in order to protect my lord, I married into the Chi family. Unfortunately, I failed this last mission. ”
Chi Yun frowned: "Protection? So, my father was murdered. ”
"Hmm." The eldest lady replied in a low voice.
"Who's the murderer?"
Boss Ding sighed: "Engong couldn't afford to be sick after a banquet. My sister and I can be sure that he was poisoned. We have been investigating for several years, and finally the suspicion fell on King Kang's Mansion, but we haven't found evidence yet. ”
Chi Yun thought for a while: "My father was loyal to the first emperor back then, right?" ”
Boss Ding replied: "This is natural, Engong is a loyal minister. ”
Chi Yun waved his hand: "That's okay, it's as if King Kang's Mansion did it." ”
The eldest lady and Boss Ding were stunned.
Can this kind of thing be done?
"Ah Yun." The eldest lady said cautiously, "If you don't find out the ins and outs, how can you take revenge?" ”
Chi Yun was straightforward: "Revenge and evidence are not necessarily related, not to mention the incident three years ago, the evidence has long been gone, why bother?" The easiest way is to overturn King Kang's Mansion first, and then uproot it when the time comes, so that you will naturally know the truth. ”
The eldest lady brother and sister glanced at each other with strange expressions.
Is it still possible to do this? Isn't it too overbearing?
Wait, it's not a question of whether you're domineering or not, but whether you have the confidence to be so domineering?
King Kang's Mansion is in full swing, the emperor is still on the throne, is it too simple to overturn King Kang's Mansion?
"Ah Yun, are you sure this is the easiest way to do it?"
Chi Yun smiled and asked, "If you don't meet us, how will Madam and Uncle Ding take revenge?" ”
Boss Ding said: "Naturally, it is to find out who ordered the killing of Engong and let him pay for his life!" If he can't, take refuge in his adversary. ”
Chi Yun nodded: "What you have to do is very complicated!" First of all, this verification is a problem, it has taken three years, and there are no definite results, when will this be investigated? Secondly, with his father's official position, even if he is not the master of King Kang's mansion, he is also their confidant. King Kang's Mansion does not fall, how easy is it to ask them to pay for their lives? Unless King Kang's Mansion is gone, and they lose their protection - you see, compared to the two sides, your revenge plan is one more step, or is it easier to overthrow King Kang's Mansion? ”
“……”
It makes sense, I can't argue with it.
The eldest lady and Boss Ding thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't organize the language.
Lou Yan glanced at her, a smile flashing in his eyes.
"Madam, Uncle Ding, although Ah Yun's words are a joke, they are not unreasonable. As far as I know, there is a cleaning list in King Kang's Mansion, and almost no one on that list was spared whether they died or retired that year. If Master Chi was on that list, it would be no wonder that he would end up like this. It's just that it's not easy to see that list, and the best way to do that is to ......"
The eldest lady and Boss Ding said in unison: "Overturn King Kang's mansion." ”
Lou Yan smiled and nodded, these two people's brains still let her wash it!
The eldest lady thought for a long time, and finally sighed and accepted this reality.
"What about you?" She looked at them, "Lord Lou, you are Your Majesty's confidant, why do you seem to be doing the same thing as us?" Ah Yun was arrested this time, it won't be because of you, right? ”
