Chapter 344: The Ling Family's People
This time, Ling Tiancheng had more words.
"Okay, anyway, it's not night, let's go to Rayong first, ask him about the situation over there, and then come back and ask Qingfeng Qingran.
If we don't have time, we'll stay in the house together tonight, and if we can, we'll go back to the inn together. ”
Come on, this is a dead calculated by him, no matter where you go, you have to go with him.
The most hateful thing is that those who were originally very iron with Zhuang Siyan now collectively betrayed her and listened to Ling Tiancheng's words.
Power is such an annoying thing.
Although she talked about it anyway, she is also a favorite concubine.
But this thing is easy to use in front of outsiders, and when it comes to Ling Tiancheng, it is a matter of crushing people to death at the level of the official university.
I was very helpless, and I had no choice but to follow him.
But the guy got cheap and behaved, and said to her: "When the two of us came out in the morning, you slept on me all the way, and I didn't see you so angry, why is this happening now?" Why don't you sleep on me for a while? ”
Zhuang Siyan stared: "Who said I slept?" I've always been so energetic, who wants to sleep on you? ”
After thinking about it, he still couldn't swallow that breath, and said, "I said, what's the matter with you?" As soon as I left the palace, I was so ......, so ......"
I stuttered for a long time, but I couldn't say the four words of dead skin and face.
After all, it's the emperor, even if the people of Luo Hecheng don't know, but she Zhuang Siyan knows.
I don't like it, I'm angry, I'm angry, but I have to save face.
Seeing people and leaving three faces, she has no plans to leave the capital for a long time at this time.
Even if the two of them really break up in the future, they can't offend the first person in the world.
Ling Tiancheng didn't know what she was thinking, seeing her uncertain expression, looking at herself for a while, and sighing for a while, he thought that he remembered the things in the palace again, so he took the initiative to speak.
"I've thought about it, when the child is born, I'll send her out of the palace."
"Huh?" Zhuang Siyan didn't react to what he said for a while, and it took a long time to follow up and ask: "You said Jia Xian?" ”
"Yes, she is too scheming, and the power of the Jia family is getting bigger and bigger, if she is allowed to stay in the palace, many things will be difficult to control in the future."
"Oh, but wouldn't it be too cruel for you to do that?"
Ling Tiancheng only smiled at her, and instead of replying to the question, he said, "If she can do this, she should think of the consequences."
It's just that she thinks that she can use the prince to keep herself in the palace for a long time, and her status will not fall.
But here I am the opposite, if she has nothing to do, she may really be able to keep this position until the end of her life.
But since I've done these things, don't blame me for being rude.
Yan'er, I don't want you to feel bad. ”
The topic turned too quickly, originally talking about Jia Xian, but suddenly turned to Zhuang Siyan.
She was a little stunned, looked at Ling Tiancheng in a daze, and didn't answer his words.
He didn't say anything more, and the two of them just walked forward side by side.
The streets of Luohe City are very lively, and people don't seem to be affected at all by the fact that many people have been lost here.
Those who should open the door to do business, they will do business, and those who should go out shopping are still shopping.
It's just that the teahouse that was sealed by the prefect's yamen has not opened, and people who often come here to listen to stories and drink tea are also looking for another place to go.
When Ling Tiancheng and the others passed by, the two of them glanced into the teahouse at the same time, and then looked at each other at the same time.
Zhuang Siyan was quick to speak, and said first: "Will the village where Xu Ning was arrested have nothing to do with here?" ”
"It's possible, but it's hard to say, let's wait for them to ask the results before making a conclusion, but there is definitely a problem with this teahouse."
"You mean, there's probably someone in there?"
Ling Tiancheng let out an "um" and looked into the teahouse again.
Just now they looked outside, and it was obvious that a shadow was flashing by the window.
It was daytime, and the windows of the teahouse had been closed since they came, and even seals had been affixed to them, and there were special guards watching them.
Ordinary people wouldn't come at all, and if it weren't for an emergency, the people from the Luo and Chengling families wouldn't have come.
But there was a crack in the window, and the shadow was clear and clear.
He also seemed to be observing the people on the street, and then saw Ling Tiancheng and them, randomly dodging away.
"Let's go inside." As soon as Ling Tiancheng spoke, he took Zhuang Siyan's hand and walked towards the door.
He seems to have become a habit now, and when the two of them walk side by side, they will also keep a little distance because of the knot in their hearts.
But as long as there is something, he will definitely take the initiative to take Zhuang Siyan's hand, or directly pull her into his arms.
Zhuang Siyan sometimes suspected that he did it on purpose, but every time he saw the serious expression on his face, there was also a disregard for holding hands.
It seems to be his own small belly, and he is just a habit.
The guard of the teahouse knew Zhuang Siyan, and when he saw her coming, he took the initiative to open the door.
In this process, Zhuang Siyan also asked him: "Can anyone go in during this time?" ”
The guard shook his head: "The last time the adults went in, no one went in again, we have always been guarded here, and the two shifts have been changed." ”
Ling Tiancheng had already pulled her inside, and whispered, "How powerful those people are, they are just ordinary guards, they don't necessarily want to go in but don't necessarily go through the door, how do they know?" ”
Zhuang Siyan didn't want to be led by his nose every time, so he retorted: "According to what you say, it's useless to let people guard the door?" ”
"Yes, it's better to withdraw it, it's easy to lure the other party into the bait."
Zhuang Siyan: "......"
She really didn't want to talk to this person at this time, not at all.
After the two entered the teahouse, they ran to the window first.
The man was long gone, but the degree of openness of the window and the damage to the outer seal proved that their guess was right.
Someone really came here just now.
And what the purpose of this person is here, and why he avoided them after seeing them, is difficult to speculate.
It is even possible that he didn't know Zhuang Siyan and Ling Tiancheng at all, but when he looked down the street, he accidentally found that someone was also looking at him, so he avoided it.
And it's a big possibility.
What was more depressing was what he was looking at on the street?
Ling Tiancheng went to check the other windows, and Zhuang Siyan stood at the window and thought.
She even reopened the window and pushed a crack open to look out from there.
Directly opposite is a shop selling pastries, the business used to be booming, I listened to the story from the teahouse, and the people who came out after drinking tea would always take some here to take away.
Or before going to the teahouse, you will bring some pastries from here and eat while listening.
But now his business is not good, only a few people go in, and some even pass by the teahouse, and see that there are officers and soldiers guarding here, in order to avoid suspicion, they will take a detour, and the chance of going to the pastry shop is much smaller.
Diagonally opposite is a tailor's shop, and from the outside you can see the colorful fabrics inside.
The other side of the pastry shop is the intersection.
This teahouse, which was originally close to the intersection, can be seen farther from here.
The wider the view, the harder it is to guess what the people who come here want to see.
She stood at the window and looked at the place where she had walked with Ling Tiancheng just now, so that she could at least know that that person had also looked at that location before.
But it was just a very ordinary street, and there were no special places on the road, so she didn't have an updated discovery.
When Ling Tiancheng came back from a circle and stood in front of the window with her, he reached out and opened the window completely.
Then he pointed to the distance and said, "Do you remember the map that Rayong gave?" There are many shops on it that are related to the Luo and Ling families, you see, from here, you can see several of them. ”
Yes, Zhuang Siyan also saw it just now, but she didn't figure out what it mattered.
It's just that you can see the roofs of those shops, and you don't even know who is going in, so what's the point of the observer looking at this.
However, after Ling Tiancheng mentioned this, she remembered another question.
"You said that this Luo and the Ling family in the city, does it have anything to do with you?"
Ling Tiancheng was obviously stunned for a moment, and after a moment he shook his head: "I haven't heard of anyone from the royal family in this place." ”
Zhuang Siyan shook his head: "It's hard to say, isn't Wen Qing too?" But who knows his identity and existence now? ”
Yes, this is true, but Wen Qing has already changed his name and surname.
If the people here also want to live safely, changing their names is obviously the most direct way, otherwise he is doing such a big thing here, and it is a royal surname, even if he doesn't poke it out, it is inevitable that some people will think about it.
However, Zhuang Siyan's analysis is a little different from Ling Tiancheng.
She tapped her hand lightly on the window and said, "Not necessarily, what if he just wants to take advantage of this royal surname?"
You know, it's not difficult for a person to do a little bad thing, but it's hard to do bad things all his life.
It has been ten years since the disappearance of the population in Luo Hecheng, and the prefect of Luo Hecheng has obviously felt that there is a problem, but no one has investigated it in depth until now.
Maybe it has something to do with this surname.
That person captured the psychology of ordinary people, he was a royal person, and he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he was unscrupulous and committed crimes every year. ”
This kind of thing is also very common in modern times, some people rely on their own background, others can't do anything with them, and do everything.
And the wisdom of the people has always been the same between ancient and modern, and she doesn't believe that the ancients couldn't think of this way.
After listening to her analysis, Ling Tiancheng said, "Then if you say so, it is very likely that this person is not from the Ling family at all, but just a random person, and he is just using this surname." ”
Zhuang Siyan immediately retorted: "I don't believe he would do this, he must be surnamed Ling, and if it weren't for your brother, if it wasn't for your uncle, or if it wasn't for some relative of your family." ”
Ling Tiancheng: "......"
He was also speechless, he couldn't understand why Yan Er was so sure, this matter must have been done by the Ling clan of the royal family.
Of course, this time Zhuang Siyan is neither intuition nor nonsense.
She remembered what Rayong had said before.
These people are related to the capital.
There are many relatives of the emperor in the capital, and ordinary people talk about a little relative, which is nothing at all.
The problem is that this person has made such a big move, and the people in Luo and the city know that he has a connection with the capital, but the capital does not have his legend.
This shows at least one thing, someone in the capital is covering for him.
