Chapter 302: Thanks to you that day
"Are you still afraid of fakes?" Changyingdao.
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth: "I don't see how to know!" β
Changying smiled again: "I'm just faking, do you think you can see it?" β
The shopkeeper was helpless, pursed his lips and said nothing.
After a while, he looked up and said, "If I say it, can you really let me go safely?" β
"As long as you say it, I guarantee that you will not only leave safely, but also leave safely with the stolen money in your hand."
The shopkeeper took a deep breath, looked left and right, and said, "Concubine Wu's original intention to set up this shop was to be an official. β
"Officer?"
"Yes." "I don't know the specifics. It's only been two years since the shop was open, and for the first few months it was a serious business, but then one day my cousin came to meβ"
"Who is your cousin?"
"It's Gao Suming."
ββ¦β¦ What does he tell you? β
"He came to me that day and said that if anyone wanted to do something, he would leave his name and surname. Gradually, someone came to the door.
"After another two months, I overheard that one of the people who had come to the shop to ask for work for many days had actually entered the Shuntian Mansion as an errand, and I thought about it, it turned out that this shop looked like it was for selling jewelry, but it was actually for other purposes."
"What's the difference in Suncheonfu?"
"Ambassador."
Hearing this, Changying clenched her fists and pondered.
The ambassador is Jiupin, the real sesame official. As one of the favorite concubines of the East Palace, Concubine Wu can't sell big officials when Yang Ji and the Gu family are in real power, but if you stuff a few low-end officials into the yamen, it's not impossible.
It turned out that Concubine An was staring at her really for an important purpose, and this colluded with the military generals of the DPRK and China, and secretly sold officials for profit, so that Yang Ji knew, which was enough for her to get off the throne of the side concubine!
But Concubine Wu opened a shop and sold an official, what is this picture for?
Isn't she short of money? Gong Dou does have to fight for financial resources, but it is not yet time for them to fight for the head and blood.
Yang Ji can't compete here, it's useless for them to sharpen their heads and sit on the position of the crown princess.
"Why did she do that?" Changying said, "Aren't you afraid that one day the incident will even kill you?" β
"Where do I know this?" The shopkeeper said, "Even what I said just now was all figured out by me next to me, and no one told me personally." β
"Where's the list of those who registered with you in the first place?"
"Nope."
"No?" Changying smiled, "When you are dying, you don't forget to tell me that you want to live, knowing that they are selling officials, and they also pulled you down this troubled water, are you so stupid, will you leave yourself some way back?" β
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and remained silent.
β¦β¦
Two quarters of an hour later, Changying took what she had in her hands and went straight to the street.
In the yamen, she summoned Shaoqing and the three of them and asked about the situation in the past half day.
Shaoqing said: "Zhao Jun sent the eunuchs below to walk back and forth in the palace forbidden place several times, but there was no loophole. β
Changying nodded and said, "From this moment on, you must keep an eye on Gao Xuming, tonight he will most likely try to find Concubine Wu to meet and give him a chance, and then you will ...... like this" She finished explaining the situation, and then carefully ordered in a suppressed voice.
Shaoqing agreed, and immediately discussed with Cheng Chun and Liu Bing.
Changying looked at the list in his hand, then looked at the sky, and then walked out of the threshold.
Qin Lu was discussing with Xie Peng, and when he heard that General Shen was coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "It's unfortunate that the general is here, the prince has gone to the Ministry of Industry." β
Changying knew that Yang Su was preparing for the Ministry of Industry after the beginning of spring, and entered the hall as she spoke: "It's okay, I'm looking for you the same." β
Xie Peng, who was bending over the table and flipping through the file in the room, heard this, raised his head and said, "What's the matter?" β
"I have a list here, it is the person involved in the betrayal of Concubine Wu in the East Palace, you are familiar with the yamen of the five cities, can you help me check the whereabouts of these people's official positions." Changying handed him a blue book he had brought.
Xie Peng stared at her for a while, then took the book, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and said, "The women in the East Palace dare to sell their officials?" β
"It's exactly this weird," Changying said: "Although they are all official positions that are not in the stream, I have made a rough inquiry, and the families involved are very wealthy and can afford the price."
"You simply help me check the maiden family of this concubine Wu, she has no parents, only an uncle Wu Zhang works in Liaodong, see what is the situation of her uncle?"
The shopkeeper previously explained that the children who came into contact with Gao Suming had a good background, which means that they can afford the money.
So Concubine Wu took such a big risk to accumulate money, most of them were in urgent need of money, but she was in the palace, it was unlikely that there would be a place to spend a lot of money, and when she spent a lot of money, it would definitely be difficult to hide it from Yang Ji.
In this way, it can only be that there is something wrong with her uncle Wu Zhang, who is a fellow acquaintance in Liaodong.
Wu Zhang dedicated Concubine Wu to Yang Ji, and naturally he also became Yang Ji's person, there are many products in northern Liaoning, and Wu Zhang is very valuable over there.
Concubine Wu's favor is naturally because of Wu Zhang's value, if something happens to Wu Zhang's side, Concubine Wu will definitely not be able to stand idly by.
Xie Peng had obviously understood what she meant at this moment, turned his head and called someone in to arrange things separately.
"It will take at least a few days for Wu Zhang's side, and this group of people from the investigation and purchase officials will not be able to do it in less than an hour. Are you waiting here or? β
He asked.
Changying didn't have anything else urgent at hand, so she chose to stay and wait.
Xie Peng nodded and continued to look at his official business.
The eunuch brought the cold soup, Changying drank two sips, suddenly remembered, and said to Qin Lu: "Is Doctor Liang here?" I asked him something. β
Qin Lu said, and went out to greet someone and call Liang Feng.
"You're all right, aren't you?" Xie Peng suddenly faced her.
Changying looked sideways.
Xie Peng paused slightly, and his voice was steady: "Last time I was in the ring, thanks to you." β
Anyway, the shock of that day made his impression of her subversive, whether it was for herself or for Yang Su, no woman, no, few people could do what she did.
What Yang Su lacked at that time was opportunities and platforms, and she risked her life to earn him the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, which was like throwing a sharp blade to the unarmed people under the siege of a strong enemy.
It was because of her actions that they were where they are today, he must admit it.
Although Changying didn't have much direct contact with Xie Peng, she could also sense that he had been dismissive of her in the past.
But fortunately, obviously he is not the kind of person who will get along with people for no reason, even if he doesn't think so, it still doesn't prevent them from surrounding Yang Su and performing their duties.
But it was a little surprising that he would mention it to her directly today.
But in a moment, Liang Feng came. I saluted Changying and sat down.
