In the dark of night, when the cold moon is in the sky, a figure stands under the corridor, looking at the camphor tree not far away, stunned.

An attendant tiptoed over and whispered in his ear, "Manager Qiu, the news is here." ”

Qiuqiu remained silent and walked towards the camphor tree, followed by the waiter with small broken steps.

Qiuqiu walked to the direction of the tree and looked up at the tree, where two night birds flapped their wings and flew away from the canopy.

"I think there's a rat in my house, so take the rat trap and follow me."

The waiter agreed, and hurried to get the rat trap.

Qiuqiu did not live with other chamberlains, and his house was only separated from the emperor by a moon cave door, which was convenient for the emperor to summon.

When the chamberlain came, Qiuqiu was already waiting in the house.

"Manager Qiu, the mouse trap is here." The chamberlain said loudly.

"Well, come in." Qiuqiu's voice came from inside the house.

The chamberlain pushed the door open and closed it.

"Say, it's safe here.

Qiuqiu's hand is playing with a delicate gold wire birdcage, the kingfisher in the birdcage is lifelike, the waiter knows this birdcage, which was presented by the silver bureau last month, the birdcage is a thousand thin hair-like gold wire weaving, the kingfisher inside is inlaid with real bird feathers, I didn't expect the emperor to reward Qiuqiu.

"The wife that Xu Qiao kept outside is no longer in the small yard, and the yard is being rented at this moment." The chamberlain said.

Qiuqiu's face changed suddenly, and he asked, "Not anymore?" When was it not there? ”

It was the first time for the waiter to see Qiuqiu's face like this, he was startled, and hurriedly said: "It is said that the courtyard was posted with red paper for rent ten days ago, and I think it was not there at that time." The people who went out to inquire also said that the old cangtou family who used to live there was also gone, and now they changed to another family, saying that it was Mrs. Xu's Pang family's companion room. Thinking that it was Xu Qiao's outer room, it was known to Mrs. Xu, so Xu Qiao couldn't help but send that one away. ”

"Impossible!" Qiuqiu gritted her teeth, "What is Xu Qiao?" Is he worthy? ”

He thought for a moment, turned and walked into the inner room, and after a moment he took out a purse, from which he poured out three gold bills, showed them to the chamberlain, put them back in again, and handed them to the chamberlain along with the purse.

"Take it, check it carefully, where did Xu Qiao send that wife." Qiuqiu said.

The chamberlain agreed, turned to leave, he walked to the door, turned to look again, but saw Qiuqiu open the golden bird cage, and was tearing the feathers of the kingfisher with a lot, as if he had a grudge against those feathers.

The waiter didn't dare to look at it more, so he put his purse in his bag and left quickly.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Emperor Chongwen closed the book in his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a silk handkerchief.

This book is so well written, the Qingqing in the book is simply a Qingqing, the same literary style, flow, the same demeanor, and the same untimely death.

Emperor Chongwen sighed, these days, he doesn't remember Ye Qinglian very well, in fact, he and Ye Qinglian are not familiar with each other, yes, how could he know such a bold and rude man? Since he didn't know him, he went to Baoding Mansion to kill Zhou Zheng, broke into a catastrophe, and was criticized by hundreds of officials, Ye Qinglian, he didn't know.

He doesn't have a male pet either, and he never has ever had one in the palace, no!

What he misses the most now is Mei Qing, it was his best youth, it was the years that belonged to him and Mei Qing.

Looking for the cold, desolate, miserable and miserable relatives......

Lian'er walked in lightly on tiptoe, and Emperor Chongwen asked casually, "Why are you?" What about Qiuqiu? ”

Lian'er put down the snack in his hand and said softly: "Mr. Qiu is making trouble in the house, and I just called Liu Da, who is in charge of purchasing, to catch mice in his house, and I don't know if I have caught it at this time." ”

"Catching mice? Liu Da? Which Liu Da? Emperor Chongwen asked suspiciously.

"Yes, the slave maid also just found out that Liu Caiban can catch mice." Lian'er covered her mouth with her sleeves and smiled.

Emperor Chongwen didn't laugh, he really wanted to catch mice, didn't there be a suitable chamberlain and guards in this palace? Do you have to have a chamberlain in charge of the purchase?

"That Liu Da, since he is in charge of purchasing, I think he often goes out of the palace, right?" Emperor Chongwen asked.

Lian'er nodded and said, "Yes, Liu Caimai has to leave the palace almost every day, and the slave maid even asked him to bring perfume ointment." ”

Emperor Chongwen snorted and said, "Go and see if the mouse has been caught, and let Qiuqiu come over." ”

"Yes." Lian'er agreed and stepped back and went out.

In the teahouse opposite the Yamen of the Sixth Ministry, Li Guanzhong was drinking tea, and the entourage came in with the curtain, and said in a low voice: "Just now Lian'er handed over the news, the Qiuqiu next to Your Majesty met Liu Da three times in a row, and each time he spoke quietly, as if there was something shady. By the way, that Liu Da ......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Guanzhong waved his hand and said, "I know Liu Da, what happened later?" ”

There are only a few servants in charge of purchasing in the palace, Liu Da was only brought up last year, and Li Guanzhong knows this person.

The entourage hurriedly said: "Lian'er has already revealed this news to Your Majesty." ”

"Well, well done", Li Guanzhong thought for a while, and said to his entourage, "Bring a word to Lian'er, just say that I will find a smart and clever child in the good hall, follow his surname Lian, and he will be his descendant in the future." ”

Lian'er was originally surnamed Lian and was an orphan.

The attendant was overjoyed and said, "He must be overjoyed." ”

Li Guanzhong nodded, and his entourage turned around and went out.

Li Guanzhong called another entourage to come in and said, "Follow Liu Da and see where he has gone and who he has met." ”

As soon as the entourage went out, the owner of the shop walked in: "Master, Ning Jiu's subordinate Sun Er is here." ”

Li Guanzhong sighed, very annoyed.

The old Xiao family has a litter of sons themselves, but it is not enough, and they have taken a litter of the Ning family, and the Ning family is also sick, and they have two sons of the Sun family and the Miao family, mother, and they are annoyed when they see them, one by one, they are all Xiao Changdun's virtue.

"Let him in, by the way, when he goes out in a while, let him settle the bill, they have money."

This tea shop is the property of Mrs. Li Guanzhong, Li Guanzhong himself drinks tea here and drinks casually, but there is no rule that anyone can drink casually.

Sun Er has a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, their ancestors were thieves, and later they were taken by the Ning family and became scouts in the army, after the Ning brothers were taken away by the Xiao family, their family has been following the Ning brothers.

Sun Er walked in, gave Li Guanzhong a thousand words, and said with a smile: "Master Li, the prince asked me to bring you good news." ”

Li Guanzhong snorted coldly: "But if it is good news in the minds of your Xiao family, it is not good news." ”
