On the candlestick, a dozen or so butter candles illuminate the room.

There were three people in the room, each with a corner.

"Is this house safe?" Ning Xiu asked.

Yang Shu snorted and didn't answer.

Ming Wei said: "Sir, do you think that you can come in casually, and the guards are too negligent?" ”

That's obviously what Ning Xiu meant.

"Don't worry. With his insecure character, if something happens and he just wants to run here, it must be the safest. You can come in unhindered because you are someone he trusts. ”

Ning Xiu looked at Yang Shu.

Yang Shu was even more uncomfortable when he looked at him, and said fiercely: "Aren't you going to talk about things?" ”

Ning Xiu smiled, and the hard work of these days disappeared all of a sudden.

This kid, who keeps saying that he doesn't recognize him as a senior brother, has long been convinced in his heart? It was in vain that he rushed all the way to Yunjing and worked hard for him.

He got down to business: "You said that the eldest princess's death was suspicious, so I went to check it out and found one thing. ”

Both looked at him at the same time.

Ning Xiu said: "The servants who served the eldest princess in the early years are almost gone. ”

Yang Shu frowned: "Uncle told me about this matter, they have followed their grandfather and grandmother for many years, and they all have merit." The uncle either rewarded them and let them go home, or recommended them to go to the army, so that they could have a chance to make meritorious contributions. Others, who followed me in my early years, are still in the house. ”

"That's fine." Ning Xiu frowned slightly, "But how many old servants are there with your grandmother?" Those maids and women can't even be found. ”

This Yang Shu didn't pay attention.

The eldest princess and the old marquis are both fought on the battlefield, and there are many generals around them. It can be said that these people are the foundation of the Hou Mansion.

A few years before they died, these hands were distributed among their children and grandchildren. Because Yang Shu was the only one in the family to practice martial arts, most of the generals were given to him, because he didn't notice that there was anything wrong with the servants who served them.

Anyone can do the work of serving daily life, and it will be important to have a home.

"The maids and women look inconspicuous, but they are the ones who know the eldest princess's daily life best. If there is a problem, they must be the clearest ones. ”

"Sir," Ming Wei asked, "you say that, did you find a witness?" ”

Ning Xiu nodded: "I still started from the eldest princess's recuperating illness." It is far away from the capital, and it will not be as clean as the Hou Mansion. The mother-in-law I found last time has been on an errand in Beizhuang for many years, and the relationship between the servants is intertwined. I knocked her mouth open and learned something. ”

The two held their breath and looked at Ning Xiu.

Ning Xiu said: "In those years, the eldest princess often recuperated in Beizhuang. She said that just three months before her death, the eldest princess came to Bezhuang for the last time, and a guest once came to visit. ”

"What guest?" Yang Shu couldn't wait to ask.

Ning Xiu said softly: "The guest didn't report his identity, he went to Beizhuang, and the eldest princess and the old marquis met immediately." They were locked in the house for half a day, and later, the old marquis personally sent him away. ”

After a pause, Ning Xiu continued: "Then, the eldest princess returned to Beijing. It didn't take long for her to fall ill. You know the rest. ”

The eldest princess couldn't afford to fall ill and died like this.

Yang Shu took a deep breath: "This character is the key, you must know what they talked about." ”

Ming Wei asked him: "As the eldest princess and the old marquis, the Imperial City Division should have their files, right?" ”

Yang Shu understood what she meant. The responsibilities of the Imperial City Division are, one external, and the other internal. Needless to say, it is to send spies to other countries, which has another point to be responsible for, and it is not under Yang Shu's control. Internally, in addition to the rebellion case like the king of Qidong County, he is a daily supervisor of hundreds of officials.

Princess Mingcheng and Marquis Boling, this level must be among the supervision, and the Imperial City Division must have their own independent files.

Yang Shu said: "In addition to the nominal Imperial City Envoy, the Imperial City Division is mainly responsible for three points of affairs. My duty is mainly to spy on intelligence, and the day-to-day monitoring is under the control of another commissioner, so the files are also in his hands. ”

"Can you see that?"

Yang Shu hesitated: "Is this ......?"

Mingwei thought for a while, and then said: "I'm just asking, you can see it, if you have trouble, don't do it." Your position is very sensitive, and if you make a mistake and lose the emperor's heart, it will be difficult to do it later. ”

Yang Shuqi said: "I don't do anything else, just look at the dossier, it's just out of line, how can I lose the emperor's heart?" ”

Mingwei still shook his head: "Don't do it." ”

Her gaze made a brief contact with Ning Xiu, and both of them understood.

That day in the back mountain of Xuandu Guan, they avoided Yang Shu and had a good conversation, knowing that his life experience was different. If their speculation is true, the emperor's feelings about Yang Shu are complicated, and the meaning behind letting him occupy such a critical position is intriguing. If he catches Yang Shu's suspicious behavior, the consequences are unpredictable.

However, these words are not good to say to Yang Shu at the moment.

As soon as this is said, it is difficult for him to be invisible in the face of the emperor. Once something happens, the emperor is angry, and his life is really over.

"Little junior brother, you just listen to her."

Yang Shu looked at this, then at that, and sneered: "What are you doing behind my back?" What's the secret here? ”

"What eyebrows flirt, don't mess with words." Ning Xiu said with a straight look, "I just agree with what Miss Ming said, if you let the Holy Lord know that you are investigating the death of Princess Chang, what will he think?" We don't have any evidence at the moment, and it's not good for anyone to make a big fuss. ”

There is a good reason to say that......

Yang Shu let it go for the time being, and said, "I want to find a way." In terms of daily supervision, there are not many things, so the authority of the Imperial City Division is mainly in my hands, and it is okay to do a little tricking. I want to figure out how to look at the dossier when I go back. If you're in trouble, just give up on the idea, right? ”

The other two nodded.

Yang Shu asked him again: "Is there no other clue about that person's identity?" ”

"Yes." Ning Xiu said, "When this person asked to see him, he gave a token. The token looked like a private seal, and the beast button on it was more special, and I drew a picture according to the description of the old servant. ”

Ning Xiu said, taking out a piece of paper from his arms.

Ming Wei and Yang Shu leaned over to take a look-

"Sir, your painting skills are really not very good!" Ming Wei Dao.

Yang Shu nodded: "It's a little ugly." ”

Ning Xiu had a straight face: "I only learn piano skills, not painting skills, if you dislike it, you can paint it yourself." ”

Ming smiled: "Coincidentally, I'm not good at painting." Sir, you know, I don't even dare to take Danqing as an elective. ”

Yang Shu was even more dry: "I paint uglier." ”()
