Chapter 25: Street Scene
In the Lingnan Palace, the guards are recovering what happened on Qushui Road today.
King Lingnan's brows furrowed.
Jing Ninghou's assassination only happened today, and at noon, there was a rumor that it was someone from King An's Mansion who assassinated Jing Ninghou.
Coupled with the unidentified man in black, this matter is not simple to look at.
"The black man suddenly appeared, and then directly attacked the secret guards of King An's Mansion with a clear goal." King Lingnan paced back and forth in the study for a few steps, and after standing still, he said to himself thoughtfully: "It seems that these black-clothed people are very clear about the contradiction between King An's Mansion and Jing Ninghou, and they also know the whereabouts of the two parties, and the people behind this seem to be not simple. ”
"Go to Chacha Why did the palace and Jingning Houfu suddenly turn against each other? There is also a way to find out the identity of the man in black, and the Qi Wangfu and the Rui Wangfu should pay more attention. King Lingnan pondered for a moment before turning back and commanding.
"Yes." The guards did not question the prince's orders, and received the order without hesitation.
After all, the king of Lingnan is a perennial leader of troops, although he rarely participates in the political affairs of the DPRK and China, but his keen sense of the movements of all parties is not comparable to those young people and those courtiers in the court who only care about how to get promoted and make a fortune.
Although in the eyes of all people, His Royal Highness King Rui is nothing more than an idle prince who does not do his job, but the King of Lingnan has never despised this prince who has no real position and real power, but can be as good as he is in the entanglement and mutual containment of various forces.
"Is there anything about King An's contact with the South Vietnamese envoys?" He rubbed his temples, these times for these messy times spent a lot of energy, these things are really not more troublesome than leading troops at the border pass, but the investigation and handling are far more complicated than leading troops.
Although they have basically determined that the party who did the action against the prince is the people of the Anwang Mansion, in the face of no absolutely conclusive evidence, they can only hold back for the time being, and even if there is really full of ironclad evidence, it is not very easy to seek justice for the prince, once these things are involved, I am afraid that it is far from what they see now.
"The specific person who connected with the South Vietnamese caravan was Princess An's brother, and the place of contact was a shop selling tea on Baofeng Street in the West Market, and the subordinates and others checked it, and the owner of the shop was the wife and brother of the in-laws who were in charge of the Zhuangzi in Fuyang." The guards returned.
Uncle Fuyang's wife's brother-in-law? This relationship is far enough away, but the more it is, the more suspicious it is.
"But someone is watching?" Lingnan Wang asked.
"Someone has been sent to keep an eye on it, but King An's side may have noticed it, and there has been no new movement in the past few days."
"Continued staring."
"The South Vietnamese envoys are also keeping an eye on it, it's the fox that always shows its tail." The King of Lingnan commanded, but the expression on his face was as if he was a real old fox, it was not possible to find out these things in a day or two, not to mention that someone would be more anxious than the Lingnan Palace.
.......
Qin Moyu was about to return to Rui Wang's Mansion from Huichun Hall this day, and when he passed by the gate of Jufu Building, he thought that Ning Shuang loved to drink the osmanthus brew here, so he stopped at the door and asked the little maid to buy two jars inside, and planned to send them to Xia Mansion in person before dinner, just so that he could take the opportunity to stay for dinner.
The little guy bought the wine and came out and said, "Master, the shopkeeper in the store said that this is a new dish launched today, so you can come and try it when you have time." ”
"Oh-" Qin Moyu glanced inside, took two steps forward and grabbed the reins.
"In this way, since the shopkeeper has said so, the master naturally wants to come and taste it, you go and tell the shopkeeper, let him keep the private room for the master, and the master will come over at night." He instructed the little guy with a smile on his face.
"If you go to the Rejuvenation Hall again, you will say that you will pick up your cousin and come here for dinner later. and go and call up the eldest son of Yan. ”
......
Qi Wangfu, Qin Mojun, the king of Qi, finished discussing the matter with the staff in the palace, and remembered the assassination of Jing Ninghou who had just heard the street talking about when he was eating out.
"What do you think about this?" Qin Mojun put down the teacup in his hand, looked at everyone and asked.
"Could it be someone from the Lingnan Palace?" After everyone looked at each other a few times, a staff member said.
"Uncle Huang?"
"I don't think so." Another staff member obviously disagreed with the previous person's opinion: "If it is a person from the Lingnan Palace, it will not be as simple as just drawing people from the An Palace." ”
"I think that no matter which side the man in black is, this is an opportunity for us. Let's not make a fuss about this matter again, and it won't be difficult for Jing Ninghou to completely separate from An Wangfu. The third staff member looked at Qi Wang Dao.
"What do you think?" King Qi leaned forward, obviously interested in the proposal of the last staff member surnamed Qiu.
......
His Royal Highness King Rui had a treat in Jufu Building at night, Yan Zhe arrived early in the morning, and when he went out, he happened to bump into Yan Feifei who was going to the front yard, afraid that the girl would think too much, Yan Zhe also specially found a separate excuse to get out of the house.
Yan Zhe pushed open the window in the box and watched the street scene for a long time, and after drinking two cups of tea, he saw Lu Ming riding a horse from the end of the street towards this side.
Lu Ming went to the box on the second floor, Yan Zhe glanced at him, and continued to look at the street scene.
"What's so nice about this? It's all good-looking. Lu Ming picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup, Rui Wangfu was half an hour's distance from this side of the horse, and he was a little thirsty all the way.
Yan Zhe didn't look back, didn't speak, and continued to stare outside.
Lu Ming put down the teacup and leaned over with some curiosity.
I craned my neck and looked at it for a long time, but I didn't notice anything special on the street.
However, Yan Zhe took it seriously.
He was even more curious, thinking that it was the problem that he couldn't see it from the right angle, so he patted Yan Zhe on the shoulder and said, "Let me take a look first." ”
Yan Zhe glanced at him and got out of the way.
Lu Ming changed to Yan Zhe's position and looked at it for a long time, but he still didn't find anything.
"What the hell are you looking at?" Lu Ming turned around and lowered his voice.
There is no way, there are many people in the restaurant, and the windows are still open, so I can't say that the wall has ears.
Yan Zhe looked at it so seriously, but he didn't find it when he looked left and right, so it must be something more important and confidential.
Yan Zhe saw Lu Ming's mysterious face, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "I'm looking to see when Ah Yu and Ning Shuang will arrive." ”
“......”
Lu Ming really wanted to beat Yan Zhe, took a deep breath, looked at him like a fool for a long time, and then went back to the table and sat down.
I really don't want to stay with him, it's so boring.
Yan Zhe shrugged and continued to look out the window.
When Qin Moyu and Ning Shuang arrived, Lu Ming glanced at the two of them several times with resentment on his face.
"What's wrong with your eyes? Corns? Qin Moyu sat down and glanced back at him, and said coolly.
''You're just corny?'' Have you ever seen a corn with eyes? Lu Ming gave him a roll of his eyes, and said angrily.
"Ah Zhe, why did you mess with him?" Qin Moyu didn't bother to pay attention to him and asked Yan Zhedao.
"No! I don't know what's wrong with him. "Yan Zhe is a serious way.
I really didn't want to pay attention to them, Lu Ming got up and opened the box door.
"Little Er, hurry up and serve wine and food to your master."
"Here we go! What kind of wine and food do you want? Xiao Er stepped over quickly, put the white towel in his hand on his shoulder, and asked with a smile.
"First give the master ten altars of good daughter red, and then bring up all the new dishes and signature dishes of your store, don't save it." After Lu Ming finished explaining to Xiao Er, he glanced at Qin Moyu.
Qin Moyu could see that he really didn't know when he would provoke him.
Seeing Lu Ming's stimulated appearance, Ning Shuang couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.
"Why are you here so late?" Lu Ming was a little uncomfortable by Ning Shuang's gaze, and cleared his throat to divert the topic and attention.
Ning Shuang walked to the window and closed the window, sat down at the table, took the tea handed over by Qin Moyu, took a sip, and said, "The old lady of Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department has a headache, I have a trip." ”
The wine and food were quickly delivered, and a whole large table was there, and at a glance, I knew that Xiao Er was real, and he really didn't give it to the province at all.
"A few masters use it slowly, the small ones will go down first, if a few masters are not enough for you, just call the small ones again." After the dishes were ready, Xiao Er said with a smile.
Isn't that enough? Qin Moyu glanced at Xiao Er. Xiao Er smiled heartily, and when he exited, he brought the box door to them with a very eye-catching eye.
Jiang Bai and Jiang Chu were guarding the door.
.....
As soon as Yan Zhe returned to the Yan Mansion and was about to go to his yard, the little maid in the mansion told him that Yan Feifei asked him to go to her yard after returning to the mansion.
Yan Zhe had no choice but to reroute to Yan Feifei's courtyard.
"My sister is looking for me?"
Yan Feifei was practicing calligraphy in the room, and the maid led Yan Zhe in and said hello, but the pen in her hand did not stop.
Yan Zhe sat at the table next to him, flipped through the book casually, and Yan Feifei saw half of the book.
"Brother, I have a lot of fun drinking with the prince of Wu Cheng today." Yan Feifei finished writing the sub-words, put the pen down, calmed her hand, sat down on the other side of the table, and asked softly.
“?” Yan Zhe put down the book and looked at Yan Feifei, why did her sister suddenly care about this?
I saw that Yan Feifei was also looking at herself.
"That's good!" Yan Zhe was a little uncomfortable and turned his face away.
"Oh! Really?" There were some emotions in Yan Feifei's voice that made Yan Zhe feel that something was not right, which made him a little confused.
However, soon, he knew that he really wasn't too careful.
"However, the prince of Wu Cheng just came to the mansion and said that he didn't ask his brother to drink together!"
“......”
