Volume III-34 Standing Still (I)
Standing still (I)
"General Tang, it's time to get up, it's time to get up in the sun, if you don't perform your duties again, your subordinates' necks will grow by two points." Lian'er tried to wake up her husband, and the child was still pretending to be asleep in bed.
"Madam, it seems that the court did not give you a fortune to make you a deacon. Rushing me up in such a hurry, and refusing to go home with me, you have to stay here, is it a tryst?! The husband was a little helpless.
Lian'er said mischievously: "I really can't tell you. ”
The man gritted his teeth: "You dare, I'll stay here today to see who dares to come." ”
"Husband, if you want me to go home early, hurry up and sweep away those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and I will naturally go back."
"Are you really not going back today?"
"You know."
"Alas! Wait for me that night. ”
"General Tang, it's okay to do it occasionally, if the second-rank general of the imperial court stays in the art hall all night, he will be impeached."
"Isn't that just the right time I can stop doing it, and guard Madame every day, lest Madame get angry and don't want me."
"Be nice, you know there's no turning back when you open your bow. I just hope it's over sooner and we'll get out sooner. ”
"We?"
"Of course it's us, do you want to go back on it, you promised to leave the officialdom when you're done."
"I just want to hear my Lian'er say 'we'."
As Lian'er inferred, in the past few days, Turkic people have entered the capital in makeup one after another, scattered among various inns and merchants. And these people were carefully selected Turkic warriors, superior to ordinary people in terms of martial arts and physical strength. And Xinmaoyuan's various warehouses have recently added a lot of guys, and at the same time, each warehouse has received a lot of new goods, from the volume and weight, it looks like a weapon. All of this is under the surveillance of Gyeonggi-do, Pyongluangak. But there is still no action, and both sides are waiting for the opportunity. This kind of dormancy and waiting made Lian'er and Xinjie admire Yihe's patience and determination very much.
Apparently they estimated the state of affairs with optimism. They have to reassess the situation, sort out the omissions and possible mistakes. After all, whether Lian'er was in Xifeng or in the palace, she witnessed Yihe's conspiracy with Qi Feng and the Xifeng camp's pipe band, and there was no empirical evidence to convict them. And the other party is likely to have realized that Lian'er is not dead. As long as there is no direct evidence, this prince and the current head of the Wenyuan Pavilion are safe.
They had to re-study this opponent who had been covered and ignored by Yi Heng for many years. Lian'er played with the comb in her hand, and sat there sorting out the events of the past few days.
"He joined forces with the Qi family, and he also had dealings with Fu Dalong, which means that he had dealings with Yumen and White Feather Villa. In recent years, White Feather Villa has been competing with Yumen in business. I believe that the people of White Feather Villa must be trying to find a way to attack the Jade Gate, and such a person is maneuvering around it, what is the mystery in this? He didn't like women that much, but he accepted the women that Fu Dalong gave him, and gave them to the Turks after two years. It is not surprising that he used a foreign tribe to seize the throne, but it is strange why he would suddenly give Fu Yushu to the Turks. How to say that Fu Yushu is also Fu Dalong's distant niece, Fu Dalong let his niece with him can be said to be in order to climb the relationship, he should understand this, if this woman is easily given to others, it means that he doesn't care very much about this woman, or the relationship that this woman brings to him is insignificant to him, and he can grasp Fu Dalong's cooperation with him in other ways. At the same time, it also shows that this woman has no use value for him. Since he didn't want to use her to maintain a relationship with Fu Dalong, he naturally wanted to learn something from this woman, and now he already knew everything he wanted to know. If Fu Dalong was his ally and rival in the Jade Gate forces, then he naturally wanted to know more about him. What does he rely on to control Fu Dalong's relationship? ”
"Money. Do you remember when I told you that someone was using the Yumen business to launder money? And these dark lines of money laundering were eventually connected to Xin Maoyuan, which competed with Yumen, Rongyang Tea Shop in Jiangnan, and Tianhe Yinzhuang, which spread all over the north and south of the river. I've been wondering if the boss of Tianhe Yinzhuang is Yihe. All this money flowed from the hands of some corrupt officials in Jiangnan, gathered in several places, and then flowed from Tianhe Yinzhuang to Xin Maoyuan and its various businesses and shops. When the money flowed in the Jade Gate, the beneficiaries were the allies bound by him. ”
"So Fu Dalong should be the beneficiary of this gold chain. But he abruptly abandons Fu Dalong's niece, and perhaps he has found a better way to maintain or control his relationship with Fu Dalong. But since he was indifferent to men and women, why did he bring in another woman at this time? He had two completely different women, completely different personalities. Could he have wanted to get something from this woman that he needed? ”
"Madam, there will always be something in a woman that a man needs." Although they are husband and wife, this kind of joking when they were thinking deeply also made Lian'er laugh and beat him lightly. "I'm not wrong, why did you hit me?"
"I'm curious to know now who this new woman around Yihe is, and what he wants to study?!"
"Maybe I'll tell you tomorrow. ”
"Obviously, Lord Husband has thought of this a long time ago, and has already made arrangements."
"That's, otherwise where else would I have an excuse to ask Madame to receive me?!"
"Besides, shouldn't we be alarmed? Waiting like this is not the way to go. Jingzhao Prefecture has the right to inspect the storehouses and confiscate weapons. Scattered weapons are allowed in the private sector, but according to the regulations of the Jingzhao Prefecture, there is a limit to the number of weapons in the private possession of the private sector, and those who exceed them can be unconditionally confiscated. ”
"It's a solution, anyway, less weaponry and less bloodshed."
So that night, Jingzhao Mansion received a notice asking them to search many shops and warehouses overnight, which unexpectedly made the people of Jingzhao Mansion very proud, and seized countless weapons of various lengths and shorts. Early the next morning, the emperor suddenly ordered the big and small pipe belts of the Xifeng camp and the people of the Yutian camp in northern Hebei to be eliminated. These actions led to numerous speculations among the courtiers.
And the answer about the woman a day later was shocking. When Xinjie came to Evian Pavilion, Lian'er noticed that his demeanor was different.
"What happened? Or did you find out something again? ”
"That woman is Ah Yilan."
This news and clues were too hot for Lian'er, and she didn't want to touch it herself, so she finally decided to find another way.
Since Xinjie came to Evian Pavilion, he really didn't worry about Lian'er being alone, especially in a place like Evian Pavilion, Yuling was injured again, and he asked Mother Lin to leave Aoki Garden two days ago to take care of her and protect her.
"Mother Lin, help me go to the young master and tell him that I will wait for him in the afternoon in the orchid garden of the Aoki Tea House. Tell him that I must be there waiting for him at three o'clock. ”
"I'm just going to find him? Didn't you say that the big jade boss wouldn't let you come and go? When I left Aokien, I always said that I was going back to Kansai to do some business. ”
"I can't care so much today, I have to see him. You could say that you came back from the road and had something to report to him. The master of the jade family did not restrict the people of the Tang Sect from looking for him. Lian'er showed a rare stubbornness and irritability. Mother Lin knew that it was not appropriate to argue at this time, so she went. Seeing that she was in such a hurry, I don't know if the poisonous gas on her body is about to attack again.
At noon, there are very few pedestrians on the road, and most of them are eating and sleeping at home. Mother Lin went to find Xinjie, and Lian'er came to the courtyard where the Turks lived near the Aoki Tea House alone, she believed that those Turks had been scared away with the disappearance of Fu Yushu, but there were some things here that she couldn't let go of. Like last time, she gently squeezed through the gap in the backyard tree wall, came to the pear tree in the backyard, and stood in the moment and watched quietly.
In the prince's mansion, the prince is reading the abridgement sent by the Jingzhao Mansion. Since ten days ago, my father has been exhausted, and he has sent a decree to let the crown prince supervise the country, so such a major event in the capital, of course, will be reported to the prince. With such a large number of weapons entering the capital, the turmoil in the Xifeng camp had to make him frightened. Although he didn't force out the people behind the scenes, it was also a good thing to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, especially with so many weapons, it was difficult for the other party to replenish them again quickly.
"Your Majesty, there is a Zhou Gongzi who asks to see you."
"Gongzi Zhou?"
"Yes, he said he was His Majesty's pianist."
Although Xinjie had already told him that Ning'er was still alive, Yiyi was still a little excited when he saw the slim and elegant boy in front of him. The white-clothed showman still can't hide her brilliance like autumn dew hibiscus.
"Why did you suddenly want to come over like this today? It's really handsome, I'm afraid that it will make a beautiful woman tempted on the road. ”
"Brother Yiyi is joking." It's been a long time since Yiyi was called, or was she called him that when she was a kid when she was playing. Since she entered the south study as a waiter, they rarely had occasions to have fun in private, and Ning Er gradually changed her name to him from then on.
"I don't know what my brother can do for you?"
"Talk to Sister Ning'er, I don't know if Brother Yiyi has time." is so tactful and naughty, is still the innocent little girl in the palace. Yiyi seems to have returned to the good times when they advanced and retreated together.
"Brother Yiyi, do you still remember that there was a pipe belt in the palace who was proficient in medical skills, Li E'er? It is said that she has helped deliver several mothers in the palace. When Your Majesty had chickenpox, she also nursed you. I don't know where this one is now? ”
