Chapter 14: The Ruthless Emperor
Everyone was naturally extremely grateful to Fang Xiaoyu, but Fang Xiaoyu, who had finished entertaining everyone, entered a secluded room with Chen Jialuo at this time.
I don't know what Fang Xiaoyu and Chen Jialuo said in the room, anyway, when Fang Xiaoyu came out of the room, he was putting a letter in his arms, his face was full of joy.
Fang Shiyu, who was guarding outside, saw Fang Xiaoyu come out, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Big brother, what are you talking to the chief helmsman, it's so mysterious." ”
Fang Xiaoyu patted Fang Shiyu on the shoulder, and walked out of the courtyard before saying, "Shiyu, where is the brocade box you got hidden, big brother is useful." ”
After a pause, Fang Shiyu's expression was a little wrong, and he looked at Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Big brother, that brocade box...... Brocade box ......"
Just looking at Fang Shiyu's expression, Fang Xiaoyu could guess the hesitation in Fang Shiyu's heart, after all, the secret hidden in the brocade box was really important, and it was reasonable for Fang Shiyu to have such a reaction.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said a word, and Fang Shiyu was shocked when he heard it: "Big brother, how do you know the secret in the brocade box. ”
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Secret! ”
Fang Shiyu rolled his eyes, seeing that Fang Xiaoyu didn't mean to explain to him at all, he stomped his feet and said, "Since the eldest brother knows the secret in the brocade box, then the brocade box is nothing to give to the eldest brother." ”
Saying that, Fang Shiyu told Fang Xiaoyu where he was hiding the brocade box.
Fang Xiaoyu retrieved the brocade box, looked at the brocade box and muttered softly: "Whether you can successfully complete the task depends on it." ”
The Gyeonggi region is a prosperous scene, and the flow of people from the south to the north makes the huge capital city extremely lively.
On this day, a figure entered the city from the gate of the city, entered the capital, and stopped in front of an inn called the Yuelai Inn.
Glancing up at the signboard of the inn, Fang Xiaoyu nodded slightly, this inn was a chess piece he had dropped in the land of Gyeonggi a few years ago.
Before the counter, Fang Xiaoyu said lightly: "Boss, there have been people living in the Red Flower Hall!" ”
The shopkeeper who was there bowing his head to settle the accounts was shocked when he heard this, slowly raised his head, and said with a smile on his face: "It's a coincidence that the distinguished guest has come, no one has booked it in the Honghua Hall, but is this deposit......?"
A uniquely shaped gold ingot in Fang Xiaoyu's hand fell in front of the shopkeeper and said, "Is it enough?" ”
The shopkeeper's gaze fell on the gold ingots, especially the unique patterns on the gold ingots, his eyes flashed, and when he reached out, the gold ingots disappeared between his cuffs, and his face was full of smiles: "Distinguished guests, come with me!" ”
As the shopkeeper walked directly through the hall and entered a chic courtyard, the shopkeeper who was originally walking in front suddenly bowed respectfully to Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Old Wu Bendao greets Gongzi." ”
Fang Xiaoyu stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Old Wu is polite, is Old Wu okay all these years?" ”
Shopkeeper Wu said with joy on his face: "Thanks to Gongzi's blessing, everything is fine with the old man, but I didn't expect the son to come to Jingshi at this time, but is there anything that needs to be done by the old man?" ”
Fang Xiaoyu's expression was straight, and he handed a letter to the shopkeeper Wu and said, "Old Wu, you can give this letter to Chen Shilang, and let him find a way to dedicate it to today." ”
Shopkeeper Wu was only slightly stunned, and then nodded respectfully with both hands: "Don't worry, Son, everything will be handled by the old man, and it will definitely be handed over to Chen Shilang smoothly." ”
waved his hand to signal Shopkeeper Wu to leave, and Fang Xiaoyu stayed in the Red Flower Hall.
This red flower hall has existed since the day the inn opened, but it has never received anyone over the years, everything is prepared by Fang Xiaoyu, for the arrival of today's day.
When Fang Xiaoyu wandered around in Beijing, the relationship that had been built through years of hard work finally played a role at this time.
If you are an idle person, where can you have the ability to deliver the letter to today's hands, but Fang Xiaoyu, who has prepared nearly ten years in advance, can do this.
As a squire close to Qianlong, Chen Shilang is a powerful person that Fang Xiaoyu let the shopkeeper Wu befriend.
Chen Shilang naturally wanted to check the letter from the shopkeeper Wu as soon as he received it, but he just looked at the beginning, and his expression changed greatly, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he didn't even dare to continue reading.
The letter in his hand was as heavy as a mountain in Chen Shilang's hands at this time, if it was possible, Chen Shilang would definitely not want to touch this letter, but he had already read the beginning, and it could be said that he knew the secrets in the letter even if he didn't continue to read it.
Thinking of the shocking secrets revealed in the letter, Chen Shilang's mouth was dry for a while, and he stayed in the room alone for an afternoon, and when he came out, Chen Shilang seemed to have not rested for several days and nights.
On the morning of the second day, Chen Shilang looked absent-minded and almost made a fool of himself above the court meeting.
Chen Shilang's strange reaction naturally couldn't hide from Qianlong, so when he retreated from the dynasty, a little eunuch called Chen Shilang and personally led Chen Shilang to see Qianlong.
In the garden, Qianlong, who had changed into a gorgeous court dress, was dressed in casual clothes, accompanied by several concubines, and happily enjoyed the flowers in the garden.
When Chen Shilang, who was far away, saw Qianlong, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, obviously he made a decision in his heart.
stepped forward, bowed his head, and said respectfully: "The slave knocks to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is prosperous for a thousand years, long live." ”
After a little support, Qianlong said condescendingly: "Chen Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, just get up and talk back." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chen Shilang got up and respectfully followed Qianlong's side, and the original concubines were also quite discerning to stay away from the two to make room for the two to talk.
"Chen Aiqing seemed to be a little distracted during the court, could it be that there was something on his mind?"
That is to say, Qianlong relied on Chen Shilang a lot, otherwise there would be hundreds of civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, how could Qianlong pay attention to everyone.
Chen Shilang took a deep breath, a letter slipped out of his cuffs, and there were traces of opening at the seal, and he offered it with both hands, and the whole person did not say a word.
Chen Shilang's actions made Qianlong stunned for a moment, and looked at Chen Shilang in some surprise, obviously Chen Shilang's actions were very puzzled, but Qianlong's eyes also fell on the letter.
Just looking at Chen Shilang's reaction, Qianlong knew that Chen Shilang's abnormal reaction must be related to the letter in front of him.
With a look, the little eunuch who served on the side hurriedly took the letter from Chen Shilang's hand, and seemed to have carefully sent the letter to Qianlong after some identification to determine that the letter was not dangerous.
Qianlong slowly opened the letter, a piece of letter paper fell into his hand, shook it slightly, the letter paper shook open, when Qianlong's eyes fell on the hand on the letter paper, his eyes shrank, and the hand holding the letter paper shook slightly.
If someone is close to Qianlong's chest, you will find that his heartbeat has accelerated a lot, and on the letter paper is a record of the secret of his life experience, especially the evidence related to the secret of his life experience.
is worthy of a generation of emperors, even if what is recorded on the letter is shocking and secretive, Qianlong was just shocked at the beginning, and after reacting, the whole person looked very calm, as if nothing had happened.
glanced at Chen Shilang lightly, and saw Chen Shilang with his head down, his body trembling slightly, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell to the ground.
Just glanced at Chen Shilang, Qianlong knew that Chen Shilang must know the content of his heart, although he didn't know what the purpose of the person who sent the letter was, but Chen Shilang suffered an unjustified disaster.
Qianlong said peacefully at Chen Shilang: "Chen Shilang, have you read what is written in this letter?" ”
Chen Shilang's body shook, his voice was full of panic, and he knelt on the ground with a puff and said: "The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty......"
In addition to this sentence, he kept kowtowing, and Qianlong sighed, slowly turned his back and said: "Chen Aiqing, I heard that Ling Lang was ...... before the lift."
Chen Shilang, who was kneeling on the ground, stiffened, his face was full of despair, and after a while, he kowtowed to Qianlong like a walking corpse: "Farewell Your Majesty!" ”
