Chapter 228: Fighting wits and courage
Ye Yuanpei was full of reasons, but he had no confidence in saying it.
It's really this kind of sleek thing, Ling Tiancheng is much easier to do than him, and he can't tell the other party directly, he went back to the house to travel back to the modern era, to see if he can find a suitable way to save himself, and if he consumes it here, maybe it will be wasted if it is not wasted.
What can be said at the moment is to leave the palace full of eyes quickly, and when you return to the General's Mansion, you don't have the final say on how to toss.
Here, he Ye Yuanpei can't play a role, everything is arranged by others, even when he goes to the toilet, he is taken care of by the palace maids and eunuchs, and he often has nowhere to put his old face.
I don't know if Zhuang Siyan also saw his embarrassment, or also wanted him to leave as soon as possible, this time he actually helped him speak: "Your Majesty, since General Ye wants to leave the palace, then let him be, the rules in this harem are strict, and it is not suitable for outsiders to come in, and General Ye has been running outside all the year round, maybe as soon as the news of his injury spreads, there will be some hidden hermit in the people, and he will get better as soon as possible." ”
If this was said by another person, Ling Tiancheng would be unhappy, and he would be able to drag people down and kill them on the spot.
This is not clear to say that the imperial doctor in the palace is not good, is the wild doctor outside powerful?
It's a pity that the words came from Zhuang Siyan's mouth, and the automatic addition of a pampering filter is naturally reasonable.
Ling Tiancheng even looked at Zhuang Siyan affectionately for a moment, and said softly: "It's still Concubine Wan's thoughtfulness, then let's go out of the palace, but before those hermits arrive, Imperial Doctor Cai can go to the General's Mansion with Yuan Pei so that he can take care of it nearby." ”
The emperor took a step back, and Ye Yuanpei naturally wouldn't hold on to it, so the two sides reached an agreement happily on the surface, and the palace attendants sent Ye Yuanpei out of the palace, while the guards of the General's Mansion picked up at the palace gate and carried them all the way back.
The only one with a sad face and undisguised is Taiyi Cai.
He originally heard that General Ye was going out of the palace and had to find someone else to see him, and his responsibility was suddenly relieved, and this kind of thankless work could finally be justifiably transferred to the hands of others, and he was almost happy in his heart.
Before he had time to secretly laugh, the emperor named him again.
I don't know how Imperial Doctor Cai used to mix in the palace, he felt that in the past two years, his luck was simply bad.
Or rather, only in the past two years, there have been more and more things in the palace, and he will feel like this.
In short, no matter what the reason is, the matter has been decided, Ye Yuanpei left the palace, Imperial Doctor Cai accompanied him, and Zhuang Siyan returned to his palace and began to pack his things and prepare to go out.
However, Ling Tiancheng guessed Zhuang Siyan's thoughts, and followed her back and said, "Wen Qing has already dealt with the matter of the Jingjiao Racecourse, and now there is a result, this matter has always been handled by you, you go and meet with him now to see how the situation is, right?" ”
Zhuang Siyan agreed slightly: "Okay, I'll go out of the palace." ”
Ling Tiancheng: "No, Wen Qing is in the palace, and he will be here during this time." ”
Zhuang Siyan: "......"
What kind of routine is this playing? Zhuang Siyan began to wonder if this guy knew that she was going to cross with Ye Yuanpei?
Compared with the matter of the racecourse on the outskirts of Beijing, it was naturally Ye Yuanpei who was more important, but now that Wen Qing was in the palace, Zhuang Siyan couldn't run out regardless of it, so he could only follow Ling Tiancheng obediently.
Wen Qing, as before, entered the palace and didn't go anywhere else, only stayed in Ling Tiancheng's bedroom, and every day as if he had no bones, leaning on the soft couch, and there was a wine jug in front of him.
In modern terms, he is a very motherly man, Zhuang Siyan admires this one, and because of Ye Yuanpei's matter, he is a little angry, so when he sees him, he has nothing to say: "Drunkard, you, it's not enough to drink outside, so you ran to the palace to drink?" ”
Wen Qing: "......"
He's got to the extreme, it's not your family who asked me to come, do you think I want to come to the palace to drink? Even the taste is different from the outside, with a sense of restraint and imprisonment. The sky outside is so free and happy, but he Wen Qing just received a secret decree, not only to enter the palace, but also to talk about the case with this concubine Wan Niangniang, who is against him everywhere.
The little harmony reached by the two of them at the beginning was almost consumed in the accumulated quarrels, not to mention that Ye Yuanpei, who had a more tacit understanding with Zhuang Siyan, was here, even if it wasn't, it would be difficult for Wen Qing and her to talk about it.
Everyone also knows that things are not going so well, so they are caught in the middle and be a silent observer.
Wen Qing saw that Ling Tiancheng was there, and there were a lot of words that he wanted to fight back, so he swallowed it raw, and he reluctantly stood up and gave Zhuang Siyan a palace gift.
Zhuang Siyan was not intimidated by his actions, but looked at the wine glass in front of him, picked it up and sniffed it again, and then when the two men were puzzled by what she wanted to do, this concubine, who was rumored to have both ability and integrity, wiped out the wine in the cup.
Then he raised his head in a dashing manner, looked at the surprised Wen Qing and said, "The emperor said that you have already dealt with the case of the horse farm on the outskirts of Beijing, let's get down to business." ”
Wen Qing: "......"
Oh, business?
The main thing is that his people followed up the horse farm, cleaned it up again, and caught many people left by Luo Ke, but there was no trace of the legendary official silver.
When Zhuang Siyan listened to the case, he was always serious.
She turned the empty wine glass in her hand, her slender and tender white fingertips occasionally rubbed twice on the rim of the glass, her eyes looked at Wen Qing, but she didn't seem to look at him, but through him she saw the suburban horse farm far away from the capital.
"Are you sure the people there have been cleaned up this time?" Zhuang Siyan asked.
Wen Qing glanced at Ling Tiancheng first, and then said, "Our people arrived first and searched it, and General Ye's people also came later, two steps down the mountain, one person, lined up to check the entire mountain." ”
It sounds like that's fine, but things always have accidents, just like Luo Ke's people always like to hide underground.
Such a mountain, covered with ice and snow, is not impossible for them to dig a cave into it.
As soon as Zhuang Siyan thought so, Wen Qing had already spoken again: "All the entrances and exits of the horse farm are now strictly controlled, not to mention that a fly can't go out, anyway, it's impossible for a big living person to go in or out, how much grain can there be on the mountain?" Even if there were still people, they wouldn't last long. ”
Wen Qing gushed endlessly, and what he said was the first thing, but Zhuang Siyan's attention was not here.
People are not a big problem now, Luo Ke is dead, and most of them have been caught, even if they are not caught, it is unlikely that they want to make another big wave.
The most important thing is that these people are not prepared to confront Zhuang Siyan and them, they just want money.
And this legendary silver coin has not been revealed at all, and no one knows where it is hidden.
Zhuang Siyan and they couldn't find it, and the gang didn't find it either, Wen Qing had already searched the horse farm, except for them digging pits and burying them in the ground, where else would they hide?
She still had to go to the palace.
Zhuang Siyan turned his gaze to Wen Qing, and the corner of his eye suddenly picked, and his attention popped out.
And Wen Qing, who was sitting opposite her, was confident and proud, and felt that she had done this really well, and she also had the opportunity to perform in front of the emperor once, and she could also help him keep Concubine Wan in the palace, which was really a matter of killing multiple birds with one stone.
However, the corner of his eyes swept to Zhuang Siyan, and it happened to sweep her weird smile, and a string of cold currents suddenly passed through his back, and he shivered inexplicably, and even he didn't know what was going on.
Zhuang Siyan had already retracted his gaze, turned to Ling Tiancheng and said, "Your Majesty, Wen Qing has done a good job in this matter, trapping those people on the mountain, if they don't come down, they will starve to death on it, if they come down, they will just be caught." ”
The two men glanced at each other, and based on their previous experience, they knew that Zhuang Siyan must have something to say behind him.
Sure enough, the one spoke again: "So, do you have something to reward him?" ”
Wen Qing: "......"
Reward? Can he use it?
Ling Tiancheng unexpectedly raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "What are you rewarding?" Wen Qing, what do you want? ”
Wen Qing: "......"
He wanted to get out of the palace.
Yes, he didn't want to stay here at all, facing this pair of men and women with "hearts like snakes and scorpions", but he couldn't say this.
That is, when he hesitated, someone had already said it for him.
"Your Majesty, Wen Qing has been living outside the palace, he is free, gold and silver or something, he doesn't care if he thinks about it, you keep him in the palace now, for what, the concubine doesn't know, and he doesn't dare to ask, but the concubine can see that he must not be used to living here. You say yes, Wen Qing? ”
Wen Qing was gouged out twice.
One was from Zhuang Siyan and the other was from Ling Tiancheng, both of them were waiting for him to speak, but he couldn't say anything, he could only lower his head aggrievedly.
This has not achieved Zhuang Siyan's goal, she has to burn the fire again.
Then this concubine Wan, who was not afraid of death, said to Ling Tiancheng again: "Your Majesty, although the people in the racecourse have been controlled, but when we first investigated this case, we have been chasing the missing official silver, and now there is no whereabouts, which means that this matter is in vain."
Since the concubine has taken the name of your detective, and this matter is my next step, I must give you a satisfactory answer, I believe that Wen Qing is the same, and will do his best to assist the concubine. ”
Wen Qing's cold sweat came out.
What is this woman talking about?
If you chase the official silver, why do you bring yourself all the time?
Seeing that the emperor's face in front of him was becoming more and more unpredictable, Wen Qing almost wanted to flee to avoid being unjustified.
However, none of those two people saw his embarrassment, and they were still fighting wits and courage.
It is said that it is a fight, but in fact, it is a judgment, but whoever is soft-hearted first, and who attaches more importance to the other party will compromise first.
Ling Tiancheng arranged this matter seamlessly, but he couldn't stop Zhuang Siyan's heart from leaving the palace.
Fortunately, she pulled Wen Qing up, even if she went to the General's Mansion by the way, she was accompanied by Wen Qing, which was somewhat reassuring.
Thinking of this, his face was relieved, and he gave Zhuang Siyan a comfort: "What Yan'er said is reasonable, this batch of silver has passed for so many years, even if some of it has been lost, but looking at Luo Ke's arrangements before his death, there should be left, and it must be investigated."
Wen Qing, I order you to assist Concubine Wan, and then go to the racecourse on the outskirts of Beijing to find this batch of lost silver. ”
