Chapter 31 True and False Princess Thirty-One

Wang De used his official status to meet with the owner of the teahouse, trying to buy the teahouse at a low price. But the boss was reluctant to sell the teahouse, and it was deduced that another owner wanted to be the boss himself. There is only one other owner, that is the storyteller, and it is possible that he wants to open his own teahouse and be the boss. In order to get the teahouse, Wang De found a few gangsters to block the storyteller, and threatened the storyteller to withdraw from the management rights and shares of the teahouse, otherwise they would follow the storyteller all day long, and when the storyteller went there to tell the story, they would go there to make trouble. The storyteller knew the result of offending the gangsters, and he didn't want to see his signboard gone, so he had to agree to withdraw his shares from this teahouse. Not only did the teahouse have no buyers, but the storyteller took all the cash, and the teahouse couldn't be opened.

Wang De came to the door again, thinking that this time the teahouse owner should sell the teahouse, and the price could be very low. Unexpectedly, although the boss agreed to sell the teahouse, this price was still unbearable for Wang De and his group. In fact, the price is not high, but Wang De and others, who are from ordinary people, really can't afford it. Wang De wanted the boss to reduce the price again, but the boss said that it was already the lowest price, and he would not sell it if it was lower. In order to reduce the price and affect the business of the teahouse, everyone who was born as a gangster went to the teahouse almost every day to make trouble, forcing the teahouse to sell the teahouse cheaply to Wang De. But Wang De's teahouse didn't arrive, and now there is this misunderstanding, it seems that Wang De can't get this teahouse.

Zhan Xiaoxiao was a little suspicious, why did her husband Qin Tai inquire about this case, could it be that this Wang De was related to the case they investigated? Qin Tai also saw his wife Zhan's little question. Just remind his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao, does an ordinary guard have the money to buy a teahouse? Even if they don't have enough money, it's still a lot of money. How can a guard like Wang De, who was born in a broken family, dare to guarantee that he must be able to do his own business? Wang De is the guard of Kunning Palace, that is, the subordinate of Queen Wang. Outsiders don't know, but almost all the people in charge of officials know that the little emperor and the queen are at odds. Queen Wang's maiden family has no strength, let alone help Queen Wang, Kunning Palace only has the surface scenery up and down, and there is no real power and real income. Wang De's unexpected income must have come from Kunning Palace, and it is even very likely that it is Queen Wang. Wang De is not a close confidant of Queen Wang, why did Queen Wang give Wang De a large sum of money? The only explanation is that Wang De knew some secrets, or directly participated in something, so that he could get a large amount of money. This money is not only safe to take, but also will not threaten his safety, otherwise Wang De would not use this money to buy his own property in the capital. In connection with the movements of Queen Wang Kunning Palace these days, it is very likely that Wang De participated in or knew the princess's secret. Therefore, Qin Tai must seize this clue and use Wang De to learn the secrets of Empress Wang and Kunning Palace.

At this time, Feng Bao did not leave, he rested in the room on the side. Qin Tai asked Feng Bao to give an order to secretly arrest Wang De, a guard of Kunning Palace. Feng Bao didn't know that Wang De was the key to the case, but after learning that Wang De was the mastermind behind this incident, he also felt that he couldn't let Wang De go. Feng Bao is the eunuch in charge of the seal, in charge of the life and death of the palace maids, eunuchs and guards, Wang De is the subordinate of his subordinates, and has the right to directly ask Wang De at any time. Feng Bao called his own people to go to the palace to arrest Wang De, and at the same time, in order to prevent Wang De from escaping, Wang De was not allowed to leave at the palace gate and the city gate. Regardless of whether Wang De is on duty or not, Wang De will not be able to escape this arrangement, unless Wang De gets the news in advance. However, from the accident in the teahouse to the discovery that the main messenger was Wang De, not only was the time short but the news was blocked, Wang De should not know.

When Qin Tai saw Feng Bao's men leaving, he knew that Feng Bao had already begun to arrest Wang De. Qin Tai once again pulled Feng Bao and his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao and cousin Qiu Xiaoqiu away. Just outside the north gate of the palace, Qin Tai said that he wanted to invite Feng Bao to watch a good show. Feng Bao, Qin Tai and the others sat down in an open-air tea shed not far from the north gate of the palace, chatting while drinking tea, waiting for the so-called show to begin.

Soon after, Feng Bao's cronies came out of the main gate of the palace, which is the south gate, and went around to find Feng Bao. This young eunuch was very clever, not only did he not complain about anything, but also carefully reported the process of arresting Wang De. Wang De happened to be on duty in Kunning Palace1, and the celebrant made a separate appointment to meet Wang De on the pretext of investigating the situation of the guards on duty. Wang De didn't care at first, but when the celebrant asked about Wang De's fake military household, Wang De began to be a little unable to sit still. When the celebrant asked about Wang De's teahouse, Wang De had already begun to speak incoherently. first said that he didn't know about the teahouse, and then said that the teahouse was not bought by himself, but was entrusted to him by his brothers, and later said that this was the meaning of a certain big man, and he was just a person who came forward. The more the celebrant asked, the more stern his tone became, and Wang De later simply shouted to see Queen Wang and Concubine Zhang. Concubine Zhang is the princess's biological mother, the original personal palace maid of the queen. When the celebrant saw Wang De yelling, he began to act against Wang De, not only controlling Wang De's freedom of action, but also not even allowing him to speak. The celebrant was about to secretly drag Wang De away, but he didn't expect to be seen by a little palace maid from Kunning Palace. The steward of Kunning Palace, the palace maid, came out and asked the celebrant to release him, but of course the celebrant did not agree, saying that the celebrant was in charge of the order of the eunuch Feng Bao. Fortunately, Queen Wang was not in Kunning Palace at this time, otherwise Queen Wang would have made trouble again.

Feng Bao smiled bitterly, it seems that he really offended Queen Wang completely, and Queen Wang will definitely make a fuss about this matter against Feng Bao. I just don't know if Empress Dowager Li and the little emperor will help Feng Bao. If Empress Dowager Li and the little emperor stood by and watched, Feng Bao would have had a hard time this time. However, Qin Tai comforted Feng Bao on the side, this time not only guaranteed that Empress Wang could not do anything to Feng Bao, but also possibly Feng Bao made a great contribution.

Just when Qin Tai was comforting Feng Bao, a palace maid came out of the north gate of the palace, a palace maid who looked a little weird. The north gate of the palace is the back gate of the palace, and the main gate of the palace is at the south gate. Generally speaking, whether it is a civil and military official or a palace maid, the eunuch will go through the south gate when entering and leaving the palace gate, because it is not only convenient there, but also a market when you go out. Whether it is to buy things or to run errands, the people who enter and leave the north gate are either the army or go to Jingshan to transport water wheels, and few people leave the palace from the north gate alone.

Qin Tai motioned to Feng Bao to take a closer look at this palace maid, and Feng Bao's eyes gradually widened. Because at this time, Feng Bao recognized the identity of this palace maid, this palace maid used to be a palace maid, but now she is already a noble concubine, that is, the princess's biological mother, and now she should be cultivating in Kunning Palace. How could it appear at the north gate of the palace? And is it this dress to go out of the palace as a palace maid? There are well-behaved palace maids in the palace, especially women who have received the emperor's blessing and cannot leave the palace casually. Even if the empress wants to see her relatives or go out of the palace to return to her parents' home, she needs to be strictly examined and approved by the emperor. Concubine Zhang, as the biological mother of the princess and a nobleman who has just been canonized, is absolutely not allowed to leave the palace. Concubine Zhang's enchantment Yang out of the palace was definitely not approved by anyone, no wonder Feng Bao was so surprised. However, Feng Bao is not a fool, according to Qin Tai's reaction and the development of time, it is not difficult to speculate that Zhang Concubine not only has a ghost in her heart, but also is definitely related to Wang De. Feng Bao was overjoyed because not only the case was solved, but he also didn't have to worry about facing Queen Wang's accusations. If this kind of thing happens, even if Queen Wang doesn't ask for herself, she will no longer target herself.

Feng Bao took Qin Tai's father and others to stand outside the north gate and blocked Concubine Zhang's way. Seeing Feng Bao looking at himself with a smile, Concubine Zhang, who was already a little flustered, didn't dare to put up a fight anymore. Like a hurt child, she knelt on the ground and begged Feng Bao to let her go. The guards guarding the north gate saw that Feng Bao understood everything, and regretted that he should not have coveted Concubine Zhang to stuff them with some silver and let this palace maid out of the palace. Now that Feng Bao has caught one, even they will be unlucky together. Feng Bao paid attention to these guards for a long time, and he pretended to politely invite Concubine Zhang back to the palace, but in fact, he was pressing Concubine Zhang's master of ceremonies. What awaits Concubine Zhang will be the questioning of the celebrant and the punishment of the little emperor and Li Yanhong and others. It is a big sin for the harem lady to leave the palace without permission and not come, not to mention that Concubine Zhang is not like an ordinary person leaving the palace, but more like an escape, this problem is a big deal.
