Chapter Thirty-Eight: Tracking
On a hot day, I sweated and came back to take a hot shower, which was so comfortable. Jing Yuzhao soaked in the bathtub and felt tired and drove away. I don't know what happened to Luo Tianwen, my father should be cutting his own performance.
The struggle between the former dynasties has become more and more intense. The civil and military officials don't know who they have taken refuge into. Before the Ming Dynasty, it seemed that the crown prince was still in power, but the power of King Wei was also growing.
Afraid that the skin would become wrinkled after soaking for too long, Zidai and purple clothes served Jing Yuzhao out of the bath. Jing Yuzhao sat on the bed with her hair wrapped, and Zixuan came in. Jing Yuzhao waved his hand to let the others stand back.
Zixuan handed the letter to Jing Yuzhao, "It's news from the other courtyard." ”
Jing Yuzhao immediately opened it and looked at it. It says that Luo Tianwen is good to stay by the side of the prince of Chu. Luo Tianwen's personality is a bit arrogant, and his usual performance will be more or less with him. As a result, the prince of Chu ate a lot of food and often went to see him. One day he was dancing, and a man hurriedly came in and gave a letter to the prince of Chu. After reading it, the prince of Chu was very angry, and said without concealing his mouth: Money, money, money, this is hundreds of thousands, and it is more. After that, the prince of Chu left in a hurry.
Luo Tianwen later described the face of the messenger to Liu Fan, but he didn't expect that this Liu Fan painted exactly the same. This Liu Fan is not only unforgettable, but also can draw exactly the same.
Jing Yuzhao burned the letter, and it seemed that he was going to go out. This Liu Fan, he really got it right. But such a person must be hiding a big secret, and he is looking forward to the day when Liu Fan says it.
Du Ming hurriedly walked out of the house. Passing by a place selling steamed buns, I bought two large meat buns. It's steaming, and it's so comfortable to take a bite and drive away the cool air of the morning. After passing through a few alleys, Du Ming entered a restaurant, chatted with the shopkeeper for a few words and came out. After that, all the way to the palace of the king of Chu.
Jing Yuzhao squatted on the ground with a broken felt hat and Liu Fan, and found a sheltered place to lie down in the sun. Although Liu Fan didn't know Jing Yuzhao's true identity, he could guess from Luo Tianwen's tone that his identity must be very high. I didn't expect to be willing to suffer like this.
It's the third day. This Du Ming either goes home or goes to the Chu Wangfu every day, and he has never been to other places. This Du Ming is not a very high status in the Chu Palace, he is a little manager in charge of rice and grain, I don't know why Luo Tianwen saw him delivering the letter that day. Luo Tianwen also said that he intuitively felt that this Du Ming was not ordinary.
Jing Yuzhao also felt that he was not ordinary. The place where I live is an independent courtyard, and the sound of footsteps is very small, and I walk those lines every day. In the small talk with others, there was nothing involved in the Chu Palace, which was no longer something that a simple servant could do.
Jing Yuzhao squinted, a little sleepy, recently the queen's Qianqiu is coming, and she is busy embroidering again.
"Lord Zhao, that Du Ming is out."
Jing Yuzhao's eyes widened instantly, and the two of them quietly followed behind Du Ming. Du Ming went around to the car shop and rented a carriage. After taking the carriage around the capital for most of the time, he got off the carriage again. After a few streets, I finally arrived at a small courtyard. Sneakily looked left and right, and finally entered the courtyard.
Jing Yuzhao and Liu Fan looked around and remembered this courtyard. After a while, Du Ming came out and cautiously returned to the Chu Palace.
Liu Fan took the information of this courtyard and inquired about it. The person who lived inside was a widow, and everyone called her Sister-in-law. Jing Yuzhao's first reaction was a little unhealthy. This Du Ming won't have a leg with Sister-in-law Hong, but it's too fast.
Liu Fan coughed a few times, although Lord Zhao was young, he knew a lot. Jing Yuzhao didn't have much time outside the palace, so he could only let Liu Fan check this red sister-in-law first.
A few days later, Liu Fan sent a message. This red sister-in-law is really not simple. The right division of the East Palace, Lord Mita Zhan, went there and stayed all night.
Jing Yuzhao laughed. The right secretary, but the biggest official in the East Palace, is the prince's right-hand man. It seems that the prince of Chu and the prince's mansion are somewhat involved. It's just that if it's not deep, it's not within Jing Yuzhao's consideration, even if it's not deep, he will let him be deep.
It seems that he can report to his father and test the emperor's attitude. "Zidai, dress the palace and go to the imperial study."
The emperor was a little surprised that Jing Yuzhao came so quickly and uninvited. "Did you come today to report something?"
"Yes, Father. Erchen has been gathering people's hearts some time ago, and the people of the blood guard still have some ability, but they lack enthusiasm. The sons regrouped and let them make more contributions, and sure enough, there was news. ”
Jing Yuzhao's impassioned passage said that the emperor was a little happy. Young people should be full of vigor and energy.
"Oh? What is it that makes you so anxious to report it? ”
"The subordinates found that the Chu Palace's Mansion and the East Palace had a big exchange of money."
With a bang, the inkstone slammed to the ground. The Emperor asked sharply, "Is it true or not?" ”
"Father Qi, there is no physical evidence, only the contact between the subordinates of the prince of Chu and Lord Yutian, the secretary of the East Palace. The amount is relatively large, hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands. ”
This old fellow, swearing that he will only be loyal to me is a lie. However, he was so developed back then, the so-called easy to change nature is difficult to change, and the prince of Chu is not an honest person. In the past few years, his courage has also become fat.
The emperor stared at Jing Yuzhao gloomily, "I want evidence, don't fool me with specious things." If you dare to do so, I will kill you. ”
"Erchen didn't dare, it was Erchen who was too anxious. The prince of Chu looks decent, gentle and elegant, and will never form a party for personal gain, so please forgive your father. ”
"Decent? Joke, you're still too innocent. The emperor helped up Jing Yuzhao, who was kneeling on the ground, "You have to remember if you know people and faces, but you don't know your heart." ”
"Yes, the son remembers the teachings of his father."
The emperor's sudden transformation from rage to gentleness made Jing Yuzhao's hairs stand on end. Sure enough, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, his immature radical general, the emperor can understand it if he thinks about it carefully, and it depends on whether he is more suspicious. Jing Yuzhao was so suspicious that he was suspicious.
"Yuzhao, I ordered the blood guards to strictly investigate this time, do a good job, I will give you blood guards a credit."
Jing Yuzhao immediately knelt down to receive the order, "Obey the holy order." ”
When Jing Yuzhao came out of the imperial study, he felt that he had come back to life. The emperor's prestige has been accumulated for a long time, and his momentum is too strong, and he is still too immature. This kind of risky temptation, don't do it in the future.
Since the emperor has said so, the blood guards must all move. Luo Tianwen is still lurking, and Liu Fan is mainly investigating Tian Zhan. Blood guard members also pull it out for use. Yue Lian is good at walking the streets and alleys to follow people for small news, so he arranged him to follow Du Ming. Jiang Shui has a special hand at coaxing girls, and sent him to contact the red sister-in-law. Lu Zhuang mixed well in the underworld, mainly inquiring about the black income of the Chu Wangfu and the Prince's Mansion.
