He Ligong, the chief eunuch in the palace of King Wu, was half-closing his eyes on the courtyard where he lived, under the fragrant osmanthus tree, sitting on a rose chair, but his legs were still overlapping on another poun, without napping, only listening to a palace man who was half a lady of Xu Lao, singing a soft and amorous tune.

He was already old, but his body was still strong, and his tail finger had a three-inch-long nail, and at this time, he followed the rhythm of the music, and knocked on the armrest.

The palace people suddenly stopped singing, and he opened his eyes lazily, but Lao Cheng's eyes were not cloudy, looking at him one of the many godsons in the Wu Palace, and now the eunuch in charge of the comprador He Shou.

With a wave of his hand, the palace man who sang the song turned around and walked away.

"What's the matter?" He Ligong asked.

"It was Qian Shangshu who sent someone in." He Shou bowed and whispered sneakily.

"What?"

"I asked Daddy to inquire, Deputy Envoy Zhao is already suspicious of Meng Shangshu."

"You call back and tell Qian Shangshu that I have to meet with him and have a detailed chat."

"Daddy, this son is going to see Qian Shangshu?"

"What's wrong?" He Ligong raised his eyebrows.

"Don't be afraid, that ......" He Shou pointed in the direction of Anping Courtyard: "Mu Zi has a ghost eye, and he was held by Gu Yiren again, and I don't know if there is a ...... confessed"

"If Muzi confessed to me, would I still be so comfortable?" He Ligong sneered disdainfully: "Mu Zi has a lot of eyes, but it is precisely because she has many eyes that she can be regarded as a smart person, she has already been planted, what other hope does she have besides me?" If she was really blinded by lard and told King Zhou what I said to her, let alone me, even you, the manager of the procurement office, would not be able to leave the palace of King Wu. ”

"Yes, thanks to Daddy's strategy, my son can win the trust of the Anheiwon." He Shou immediately flattered.

"Do as I say, at this juncture, can you still follow the old conditions, second prince...... Honor and disgrace, life and death are all on the line, and the interests of empty white teeth want us to work for him? It's not that easy in the world. ”

He Shou smiled and agreed.

He Ligong no longer summoned the palace people over, he half-closed his eyes again, and sang a sentence by himself-

Red dragonflies, flying on green poplar branches. When the spider saw it, he spread his web.

Qian Baipo was very impatient to meet with an old eunuch who was "deserted" in the Wu Palace, because the risk of being discovered by the eyes and ears of the King of Zhou was too high, but the order he got was that he must try his best to keep the dark chess of Meng Zhi, and now this dark chess is really in danger of being exposed.

Qian Baipo took a lot of thought to disguise and change his disguise, and only then did he meet He Ligong in a place that looked like an ordinary house, and saw that the other party's outfit turned out to be a fake old woman, and Qian Baipo was completely relieved.

"My father-in-law is worthy of serving in the West Factory, and he is so cautious." He politely complimented him first.

"A good man doesn't mention being brave back then, let alone being so half-crippled." He Li responded with a smile: "I can't be out of the palace for too long, so I get straight to the point, the second prince invited Qian Shangshu to contact the old body, although the promised benefits really made the old body tempted, but in the final analysis, it was empty and white-toothed, and the old body did not make any merit at that time, in order to show sincerity, it was not good to bargain with the second prince, but now the situation is different, the old body must."

You need a guarantee before you dare to continue to sell your life to the second prince, otherwise in the end, the bamboo basket will be empty, and the old body is a person with a knecap buried in the loess, and there is not much delusion, but so many children and grandchildren who respect the old body can't let them be hidden by the birds in vain. ”

Qian Baipo naturally understands the rules of empty words without evidence, but where can this matter be based on words? !

If He Ligong is planted, he will hand over the note in his hand to King Zhou, not to mention that he Qian Baipo is in a catastrophe, Yuan Ge Lao and King Linzi will definitely be punished.

"Father-in-law He......" Qian Baipo couldn't hold back the anger in his heart all of a sudden.

"Qian Shangshu, I'm not discussing with you." He Ligong flicked his three-inch-long nails, obliquely raised his gray eyebrows and the corners of his sagging eyes: "I understand the rules, what I want, is nothing more than the letter of appointment drawn up by the second prince of Qian Shangshu, writing that one day, the second prince can really be in the position and the ninth five, immediately reinstate the West Factory, and appoint my good son He Shou as the supervisor of the West Factory, if your Excellency can't do this, how can you let the old man and his sons serve the second prince with peace of mind?" ”

"It can't be!" Qian Baipo categorically refused.

"Then the old body is gone." He Ligong really didn't say a word, and turned around to leave.

"Grandpa He stays!" Qian Baipo gritted his teeth and said.

He knows very well what the consequences will be if he Ligong leaves like this now, although the ambush of King Zhou has not left any evidence, but Meng Zhi's secret chess will definitely be exposed, to say that Qian Baipo really doesn't understand why Yuan Ge will make the decision to protect Meng Zhi, but what he understands is that he can't let this matter fall into his own hands.

"This matter Qian needs to be reported to the king of Linzi, but ...... Qian can hand over a village property under his name, and the land deed to Father-in-law He as a voucher, Qian will never act like crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and he will also hope that Father-in-law He will focus on the overall situation! ”

He Ligong was not completely inaccessible, and after a little thought, he said: "Okay, the old body will wait for Qian Shangshu to fulfill his promise, rest assured, when the title deed is delivered to the old body, the old body will naturally try his best to inquire whether Zhao Lanting has determined that Meng Shangshu is related to the Yuanhai murder case." ”

——

On that day, the title deed was presented.

He Ligong did not break his promise, and after a few days, Meng Zhi got the news.

"Don't doubt it anymore, don't really believe the words of the Yin family, and now you even suspect that King Zhou's dangerous accident in Wild Wolf Ridge has been leaked for us!" Meng Zhi's face turned blue and he could barely sit down.

"Zhao Ji is so alert?" Meng Shen's expression also changed suddenly.

"King Zhou's whereabouts were originally only so many insiders, not to mention ...... The king of Linzi lost his hand, and he had already folded the dark line in the guard, although the person didn't know who revealed the news, but it was enough to arouse suspicion, and we have to consider now whether it can be recovered! ”

"You have to try."

"What do you think?"

"I can only marry Yuanhai, but now I must let Zhao Ji not believe it, Yuanhai has already served Yuan Ge Lao, but Qian Shangshu has long been hated with Yuan Hai, and Yuan Hai is not allowed to sit on an equal footing with him one day or even be more trusted by Yuan Ge, so he plotted against Yuan Hai, and suggested that Yuan Ge Lao use Yuan Hai's death to blame King Zhou, Yuanhai is to listen to Yuan Ge Lao's instructions, and has the intention to let the Yin family tell the truth."

A plan that he thought was cautious was carefully explained by Meng Shen.

So Mrs. Qian went back to the palace of Wu again, drank and gossiped with Tao Cairen, and asked for the marriage between the Fang family and the Zhang family.

But a maidservant girl beside Mrs. Qian said no to Shujuan

Detailed whispers.

Tao Fanglin was immediately alerted.

One night, King Zhou was blocked by Tao Fanglin at the door of the main house in the inner garden, and went to Ji Zeyuan like a force.

This night's rare moonlight and stars are sparse, and the rain finally stopped.

Even if the season has turned cold, there is no need for a cloak to keep out the cold, sitting in the gazebo, a small jacket and a half-sleeved shirt are enough.

The autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is very warm and pleasant.

Tao Fanglin persuaded him with fine wine, and then returned to the point: "The concubine was close to Mrs. Qian at that time, and it was not that she was unwary, she had already confessed to Shujuan, and carefully enveloped the slaves and maids around Mrs. Qian, in the end, it had an effect, and today the big girl next to Mrs. Qian accepted a large reward, and finally said one thing...... It turned out that Qian Baipo and Pei Zhuo had a dispute not long ago, what happened to His Royal Highness? ”

"If you have a beautiful day, don't let this wind and moon live up to it." King Zhou lightly slapped the wine glass.

Tao Fanglin bit her mouth/lips, which were not naturally plump, and forcibly flirted with her amorous glance at King Zhou.

King Zhou: ......

It is said that Dong Shi Xiaofeng is already ugly, this talented man of his, obviously has a bit of Xizi style, but what is the idea of imitating Pan Jinlian in the Golden Bottle Meili?

It's really getting hotter and hotter.

Zhou Wangqiang endured the disgust in his heart and listened to Tao Fanglin uncover the mystery: "It turned out that Pei Zhuo wanted to let the sister-in-law of the family and Yuanhai's daughter marry, and Mrs. Qian also made a special trip to Pei's house for this matter, but Mrs. Pei refused to listen to Mrs. Qian's advice, and it was extremely unpleasant for a while. ”

"Pei Zhuo wants to be in-laws with Yuanhai?" King Zhou feigned surprise.

"It should be true." Tao Fanglin became more and more pretentious: "I also used Lin Niangzi's tone, only to know that Meng Shangshu originally wanted his grandson to marry Yuan Niangzi, who is Lin Niangzi's second son, although Lin Niangzi looked down on Yuan Girl, but this matter was shirked by Yuan Hai first!" Your Royal Highness thinks about it, with the relationship between Yuanhai and Meng Shangshu, the marriage between the two families is tantamount to a good story, why did Yuanhai refuse without hesitation? It must be that Yuanhai and Pei Zhuo had a marriage contract in private.

According to Mrs. Qian's maidservant, Qian Baipo couldn't convince Pei Zhuo, so he was really angry, and the two families almost broke off their relations, that is, ...... His Royal Highness came down to supervise the Jiangnan government, and the relationship between Qian and Pei's surnames was repaired, and at this time, Yuanhai died, and Pei Zhuo turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and he didn't mention the marriage. The concubine thought that although Yuanhai was poisoned by Qian Baipo, he was not a good person originally, in the final analysis, this case was afraid that it was just an infighting on the side of the Yuan Party, Yuanhai lost to Qian Baipo in the end, and was regarded as an abandoned son by Yuan Ji, and Yuan Ji used this abandoned son to blame His Highness! ”

Tao Fanglin didn't know that this case also involved Meng Zhi, so he didn't say good things about Meng Zhi.

But if King Zhou believed Tao Fanglin's analysis, Qian Baipo's goal would undoubtedly have been achieved.

He also said that on the same night, since King Zhou had not stayed up all night to serve the princess, Lan Ting also returned to Anping Courtyard at the third watch, and Chun Hui did not prepare a night snack wine, but he did not go to Dream Zhou Gong first, even though he knew that sleeping late was not conducive to his beauty, as long as Lan Ting did not send someone to tell him that he would rest in the outer courtyard, she would pick up the lamp and wait.

People who like a lot are not easy to be bored, even if a few maids can't hold back their sleepiness, Chungui can also look at it with a book.

When Lan Ting came back, he saw that Chungui was alone but was amused to laugh, the candle flame was red, and the potted plants in the room were gorgeous, but they were not as vivid and colorful as the laughing beauty.

He suddenly felt exhausted, and his life was still quiet.
