Chapter 21: King Ping

There were two able guards standing at the door of the room where the main room was lit, and the windows were so closed that it seemed impossible to enter through them. There must be something good in the room, otherwise there would be no guards guarding it.

Xiao Ruyu bit her lip and considered how this could enter the room without alerting the guards. She tentatively threw a pebble in an attempt to lure people away, but unfortunately they didn't even move, not even blinking.

It's still early, and if she knocks two people unconscious and enters the room, she is afraid that she will be discovered immediately and catch turtles in an urn.

Several methods were passed through in her mind, and finally she took out a small jade bottle from her baggage. Inside this small jade bottle is a miraculous hallucinogenic drug, which is made up of the fruit of a plant and other medicines. This plant is extinct in modern times, and it has not been found here, she does not know its name, and the reason why she knows the utility of this thing is because the original owner's mother told her when she was alive. After the accident, this small jade bottle and the bracelet have been held tightly in her hand, and it seems that this thing is very important.

Xiao Ruyu has done experiments, and this plant powder is matched with different plants, and the effect is different. Adding a plant called phantom millet will make the hallucinogenic effect more obvious and longer, and if you add medicinal hemp vine, it has an obvious anesthetic effect and can be used in surgery.

This kind of thing is very difficult, her mother only left her such a little at the beginning, if it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't enter the house, she didn't want to go home empty-handed, so she wouldn't use this thing. It only takes a little bit of this powder to make people fall into illusion. Waking up will only remember what you want him to remember.

This thing has been stored for a long time, based on Xiao Ruyu's experience, it is inferred that it has been about ten years, although it has been preserved most of the effect in the jade bottle, and the drug that prolongs the medicinal properties has been added, but the effect is limited, and it is not used now, and it will expire in less than a year.

However, it can preserve the medicinal effect for more than ten years, and the ability of the person who made this thing in the first place is indeed not small.

A little powder was spilled in the wind, and the two guards were stunned for a moment, and suddenly their expressions became confused, and their eyes became dull. It seemed that it was done, Xiao Ruyu jumped off the roof and landed in front of the two.

The two of them didn't react at all, Xiao Ruyu was secretly happy, this medicine really worked, "You remember, no one has seen it, have you heard it?" ”

The two nodded blankly, and Xiao Ruyu quickly opened the door and entered the room. She didn't want to use the powder much, the effect was very short, and she had to move quickly.

Flip over the beam of the roof inside the screen partition, then hide in its shadows, carefully attach there, and then pout to look inside.

This should be a study, the furnishings are very luxurious, there are a lot of precious ornaments and furniture, Xiao Ruyu secretly gritted his teeth, what is the use of being precious, and he can't take it away.

Neither the large ornaments nor the furniture attracted her interest, and the one that caught her eye the most was a rosewood desk. There was a piece of jade on the table, the jade was as big as the table, as green as a clear lake, the color was moist, and it seemed to be about to give birth to clouds and smoke under the reflection of the light, and it was a difficult piece of warm jade. What's even more rare is the pen wash and pen holder on the table, and the paperweight is a complete piece of the table. Such a big stroke, I'm afraid there is no one in the palace. The Jin family is really rich.

This jade case almost blinded Xiao Ruyu's eyes, and he left saliva at it for a long time, and had no choice but to give up. It's a pity that she can't get this away.

"Lord Wang, please." A low and obscure voice came from the door, Xiao Ruyu was excited, quickly retracted his head, and someone came.

There is a prince among the people who came, I don't know which prince it is, is it King Ping? Keping Wang's dignity, what are you doing at a rich man's house?

Tightening his body as tightly as possible, almost sticking to the beam, carefully holding his breath, Xiao Ruyu looked at the door.

The door creaked open, and two people entered, and when they entered, the door behind them quickly closed again.

One of them was tall, thin, with a long face and a beard. Probably in his forties. He doesn't look good-looking, he looks very capable, his eyes shine from time to time, and he looks quite scheming. Now the expression on his face is very humble, this person should be Jin Zhenyuan, the eldest lord of the Jin Mansion.

The other one is in his fifties, with a Chinese face, a mustache, slightly dark skin, and an average appearance. He is a sturdy man, tall and tall, with small and narrow eyes, a nose like an eagle's hook, thick lips and slightly upturned lips, and the whole person looks restrained and mellow, with the occasional sharp gaze, which makes people feel a little weird.

This should be King Ping, I have heard people talk about it, King Ping has a hooked nose, which is easy to recognize.

Xiao Ruyu was a little disappointed in King Ping, she always thought that the so-called prince should be a handsome guy, even if he was old, he should be a beautiful uncle, who would have thought that King Ping was so mediocre in appearance, no wonder he was named King Ping. Ping, is ordinary, mediocre meaning, it seems that the old emperor gave this title, it also has a deep meaning.

The two sat down, and between gestures, Jin Zhenyuan was very respectful and polite to King Ping. It's even a little too careful, which is somewhat unexpected.

"Why did the prince come in person?" He stood up and poured a cup of tea for the prince himself, raised his hands above his head, and dedicated it to King Ping. Seeing that King Ping took a sip, Jin Zhenyuan put down his hand and spoke.

"The king wants to choose the place himself. Now that the prince's life and death are unpredictable, the form of the capital is becoming more and more tense, and we have to speed up our pace. After King Ping finished speaking, he put down the teacup and rubbed a jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand. The color of the wrench is a little black, the jade quality is very good, moist into the eyes, and the light is dazzling.

Xiao Ruyu stared at his wrench and was a little moved, she couldn't take the jade book case just now, but this jade wrench was okay, and she would definitely remember to take the opportunity to go after a while.

"I don't know what the specific situation of the prince is, looking at the actions of the princes, the prince is afraid that the future is worrying." Filled King Ping's teacup, and picked it up again, King Ping waved his hand, and he carefully put it down.

"The prince can't die for the time being. Although the father is old, he is not confused, and these brothers and brothers of this king jump up and down, and they can't escape the calculation of their father. It's ridiculous that they even resorted to wooing this king, thinking that this king was as stupid as they were. Hum. ”

"It's still the prince's wisdom, at this time, the gun shot the first bird, let's hide behind the princes to get some benefits first, and prepare slowly in private, and when the princes are almost cleaned up by the emperor, let's make another move, at that time, we will definitely hit with one blow." Jin Zhenyuan patted the sycophants carefully, King Ping was very useful, squinted his eyes slightly with a smug smile, and continued to play with his jade wrench.

"One or two come to win over this king, isn't it just to fancy the power in the hands of this king? Although they didn't pay attention to these forces before, the struggle for power and profit has always been a matter of thousands of miles, and perhaps these in the hands of this king are the key. These brothers of this king, none of them are good at stubble, ridiculous, really think this king is a fool. King Ping thought of something and snorted coldly.

"Lord Wang, then you must hang their appetite and get more benefits from it." Jin Zhenyuan laughed and said flatteringly.

"Of course, this king is not a fool, he doesn't scatter eagles when he sees rabbits, and he doesn't scatter eagles when he sees rabbits, and when the time comes, the rabbits and eagles will be served in a pot, and they will laugh at the king's childlessness behind their backs." King Ping sneered, "But the most important thing now is to find a good place to settle, to be very secretive, you can do this yourself." In addition, be sure to have enough silver taels. ”

"My subordinates understand." Jin Zhenyuan nodded, then took out a box from his arms and handed it to King Ping with both hands, "This was collected a year ago, and I haven't bothered to send it to the prince." Lord Wang, please take a look. ”

King Ping opened the box, looking from the direction of Xiao Ruyu, he could see a thick pile of silver tickets in the box, King Ping took out one of them and flicked it, and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad." Old Jin, you are really the king's money bag. As he spoke, he took out the dozen silver tickets and put them in his sleeve.

"The prince has won the award." Jin Zhenyuan politely got up and clenched his fists.

"Before this king came, I heard that your daughter hated to marry?" Remembering something, King Ping frowned.

The little girl was speechless, which made the prince smile. Her subordinates immediately sent someone to watch her and prevent her from getting into trouble. Jin Zhenyuan wiped the sweat on his forehead, the prince was unhappy, this dead girl, this is looking for death.

"Actually, it's nothing to be arrogant, at least my father can rest assured. But you deal with this matter quickly, there will be a lot of things after a while, and it's better to be a man with your tail between your legs. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey." Bowing down to send King Ping out, Jin Zhenyuan sighed heavily and went out. There was a voice outside the door from which he ordered his subordinates to lead the way, and he wanted to personally send the prince to the room to rest.

After he left, Xiao Ruyu flipped down from the beam, she didn't move the things in the house, and now her target is King Ping. She saw the stack of silver tickets just now, 10,000 taels each, and the thick stack, millions of taels is not a problem. With this amount of silver, she can retire early.

The old way went out of the room, Xiao Ruyu looked at the less and less medicinal powder in the bottle, and was distressed to death. I don't know where she found this kind of thing, it's so easy to use, but it's a pity that it's too little, use a little less.

Still on the roof, carefully searching the room of King Ping. King Ping should be arranged in this courtyard, this courtyard is the best defense, and Jin Zhen will not be willing to go far.

Seeing the lights in another main room not far from the study, Xiao Ruyu smiled lightly and found it. Dodging the groups of people patrolling below, a few jumped and climbed to the roof of the house with the lights on.
