Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Mountain Rain is Coming
Three days have passed since the robbery of the Ministry of Works.
In the past three days, Six Doors has been investigating the case with all its might.
Although Shen Weiyang was suspicious of Murong Ming, there was no substantial evidence, and he did not dare to act rashly.
He just sent someone to monitor the Panwang Mansion to prevent Murong Ming from making any further moves.
All of a sudden, the theft of the boat diagram became a favorite topic of discussion after dinner. People are wondering whether this incident is really the work of the people of Xichuan, or whether Situ Yufeng wants to frame Murong Yunzhao, or Murong Yunzhao's bitter trick to blame Situ Yufeng.
However, in the past two days, a rumor suddenly appeared in the market.
Situ Yufeng's quasi-princess, the eldest lady of the Dragon Mansion, Long Jiuyue, is secretly searching for skilled craftsmen among the people in private.
This news spread quickly in Jinling City, and it didn't take long for the nobles of the entire Jinling City to know.
Most of them don't like Long Jiujiu, thinking that she is just a fool who has no ability and can only run after men.
Coincidentally, on this day, Princess Nan of Jingwang's Mansion was making an appointment with her best friend Lin Miaoren, the second lady of Lin Shangshu's Mansion, to drink tea.
"Sister, I heard that there has been a rumor in this city in the past two days."
"What rumors?" Nan Wangui is the princess, although she is the side princess, but she is also a noble person, and she will not easily inquire about some rumors in the market.
"My sister also heard from the maid who bought it when she went out. It is rumored outside that the Regent's Mansion is looking for skilled craftsmen among the people, and it was Long Jiujiu. I'm secretly sending people to the palace these days! ”
"It's this mean woman again!" Nan Wan said viciously.
"This dragon September is also brainless, now the matter of the drawings is full of turmoil in the city, and the six doors already suspect that the Regent Mansion has something to do with this matter, at this time, she is still looking for people in such a high-profile manner, are you really afraid that others will not know that they have robbed the drawings?"
After listening to this, Nan Wan also felt that Long Jiujiu was indeed not smart. I have dealt with her so many times over the years, and I have long known that the slut never thinks about the consequences when he does things.
No, you have to go back and tell the prince about this matter quickly!
Nan Wan found a reason and left Lin Shangshu Mansion in a hurry.
Jingwangfu
Murong Yunzhao listened to the information brought back by Nan Wan and fell into deep thought.
Today, he also met Situ Yufeng.
Situ Yufeng also pretended to mourn the dead Liu Yuanben, and also told him pointedly that if this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, His Royal Highness King Jing will inevitably be punished.
Thinking about it now, Murong Yunzhao really wanted to smash Situ Yufeng's dignified face with one palm!
Murong Yunzhao had long suspected that the whole thing was caused by Situ Yufeng's back, he first presented the drawings in such a high-profile manner, and then shirked the matter of overseeing the shipbuilding in a fake way, and later sent someone to pretend to be a man in black to rob the picture and kill people.
Everything is done just to frame yourself.
However, Situ Yufeng was wise for a lifetime, but he was ruined at the hands of that stupid woman!
That woman, who thought she was smart, helped Situ Yufeng find a folk craftsman, thinking that she was secretly building a boat in private. Although Murong Yunzhao didn't know what Situ Yufeng wanted to do with this ship in the end, he could guess that they must be planning to deal with him.
Situ Yufeng, Situ Yufeng, why can't you think about it, go to that idiot in Long September?
Murong Yunzhao sighed and began to think about how to deal with it next.
He has no power to investigate the case, so he can't go to the regent palace to search the mansion openly. Moreover, all this was just rumors, and he couldn't go to the six gates and ask them to send someone.
Murong Yunzhao thought about it for a long time and came up with a good idea.
The next day.
Regent's Palace.
There was no morning today, and Situ Yufeng was having breakfast with Long Jiujiu in the morning.
Long September didn't sleep very well last night.
On the one hand, she's thinking about her plans.
The news of searching for craftsmen has been released for a few days, and if Long Jiujiu has not guessed wrong, in the past two days, Murong Yunzhao should have made a move.
By this time, Linglong September suddenly wanted to thank the former Dragon September.
Fortunately, Long Jiu was too popular in Jinling City in the past, and people have been looking forward to seeing her jokes. This time, when such news is released, it will quickly spread throughout the community.
It seems that sometimes it is notorious, and it is not a bad thing!
Another reason why she didn't sleep well was because of Ming Hao.
In the past two days, Long Lingyu has had a few more cases from the last time.
The dragon spirit jade glowed with a faint blue light, and it was slightly hot, but Ming Hao couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed.
You have to speed up to find the Lingxiao Palace!
Although Long Jiujiu had already privately sent many people to inquire about the news of Lingxiao Palace, there had been no progress.
Thinking of this, Long Jiujiu's head felt a faint pain.
Long Jiujiu was drinking porridge spoonful by spoonful, when he suddenly heard a voice outside the door.
"His Royal Highness the Regent, the Queen Mother urgently summoned you to the palace and said that there is something important to discuss with you!"
Here it comes!
When Long Jiu heard this, he suddenly started to fight with twelve points.
The day she put the news out, she guessed that there would always be such a day.
Murong Yunzhao now has a deep hatred for Situ Yufeng. After hearing that there might be missing blueprints hidden on Situ Yufeng's mansion, how could he not take action?
However, Murong Yunzhao did not have a legitimate reason to directly search the Regent's Mansion. Therefore, Long Jiujiu guessed that the best way for Murong Yunzhao was to divert the tiger from the mountain!
He will find a way to trick Situ Yufeng out, and then send someone to search for him.
So how to lure Situ Yufeng out of the house?
The best way must be to ask for help from his ally, the Queen Mother Ning Wanlan!
Long Jiujiu guessed eight or nine and did not leave ten, and now, as soon as he heard that the Queen Mother was going to urgently summon Situ Yufeng into the palace, he knew that Murong Yunzhao was going to make a move.
However, Long Jiu thought that he would choose to be at night. After all, it's easy to get things done when it's dark. Who would have thought that Murong Yunzhao would choose an early morning.
Could it be that he is planning to swagger to the house to search for things?
Here, Situ Yufeng also felt that the Queen Mother's summons today were a little strange.
However, it was impossible for Situ Yufeng to resist and disobey. I still packed up and prepared to enter the palace with the eunuch who came to summon me to meet the queen mother.
However, before leaving, he was a little unsure of Long Jiujiu.
He called Long Jiu into the house alone and said a few words.
"Today, the Queen Mother is so anxious to summon me, I always feel that something is about to happen. Yue'er, you stay in the house, don't go anywhere. ”
Long Jiujiu pretended not to understand what he said.
"Big fox, the Queen Mother has to summon you ten times or eight times a month, what's so strange. Don't get too nervous. ”
"No, now the outside world is speculating whether the theft of the drawings was done by me or Murong Yunzhao. The Queen Mother has always been Murong Yunzhao's strong backing, and at this time, I was afraid of what Murong Yunzhao was going to do. ”
"Don't worry, I'm in the house and won't go out." Of course, she has to stay in the Regent's Palace, otherwise how can this play be sung.
"Just in case, I'll leave Wei Hu behind to protect you." Wei Hu is the first secret guard by Situ Yufeng's side, and he is specifically responsible for protecting Situ Yufeng.
Long Jiu hesitated for a moment, if Wei Hu was here, I was afraid that things would be a little difficult to handle.
However, for fear that Situ Yufeng would be suspicious, she still agreed.
In this way, Situ Yufeng entered the palace with the eunuch father-in-law.
And Long Jiujiu stayed in the Regent's Palace, quietly waiting for the arrival of a bloody storm.
