Seventy-five. The fermentation of the conspiracy
The man who had intended to talk suddenly stopped, and he made a gesture of silence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 At the same time, the person who had been guarding the door also dodged in. Just then, there was a jumble of footsteps in the hallway. Then a slightly heavy footstep stopped nearby, and after a period of mutual humility between you and me, you could hear several people entering the next room.
Taking this opportunity, the man beckoned the woman to start enjoying the already cold meal. The initial voice next door was still very small, but probably after they were full of wine and food, their voices quickly became louder, no need to ask, judging from these discussions, these should be important members of the imperial court, and they must have taken advantage of this rare rest day, so they will meet here.
"It's my first time here, and I thought you chose this place just to satisfy your appetite. They come here every month for meetings, and they come here for emergencies at short notice. It is said that people who read are smart, but they probably can't imagine that the wall has ears, right? The woman lowered her voice.
"You don't need to be too quiet, we have done special treatment in this house, we can hear the sound next door relatively clearly, even if you shout here, it sounds like it's coming from the street over there, plus it's already lively here." The man sighed and continued to listen.
Here they had been in a dangerous situation, it was a bearded man who had inexplicably barged in, but of course they saw what the people here wanted him to see: two people who were talking about business, and there was a lot of money at the table, and when they saw that man break in, the two of them almost protected the money and the contract at the same time - they were just brokers in the city, and if they needed to rent a house or buy and sell girls, they could find them, and they would rent this room for the convenience of business. So since that time, those people have been completely relieved of them.
"It's really a group of poor and sour talents." A smile appeared on the woman's face and said, "What is for the country and the people, in fact, it is not to find a good position for yourself, it looks like fighting for the life and death of the king on top, and in the end it is not for yourself." It's a shame that they say it so nicely...... But then again, you're not going to ......."
The woman looked at the person in front of her in amazement, her eyes widened as she tried, and although she guessed something, she didn't say anything. The man nodded slowly, "What's wrong?" There's nothing wrong with being ambitious, at least I can let you live a life of fine clothes and food. And, now I can win the trump card, there is nothing to worry about. ”
The two of them nodded tacitly. After listening to it for a while, it seemed that he couldn't hear anything new, and the man sighed slightly and said, "Okay, it looks like there is nothing to gain today." Nowadays, it is not so easy to do speculative things. The man sitting on the dragon chair, although he looked young and looked like he was powerless, he didn't expect him to be better than him. ”
The voice next door suddenly lowered, and although the voice was low, it still came: "Legend has it that the piece of beautiful jade in Xishan, the emperor is going to transport it back in a few days, right?" Labor and money, it is really labor and money! You are the king of the world, how can you do such a foolish thing? I shouldn't have sent Mr. Li there in the first place, I didn't expect that there would be such a big change. This...... What should I do next? Isn't it just a piece of jade? Why did the emperor insist on disobeying everyone's wishes? ”
The eyes of the two men in the room widened in surprise at the same time, and they pricked up their ears and listened attentively. The people next door kept chattering, obviously planning to jointly write a letter to prevent the emperor from transporting the jade to the capital, listening to their meaning, it seemed that they were worried that the emperor might have the idea of building a large number of buildings.
"It is said that that piece of jade can prolong life, but after all, it is just a piece of jade, isn't it? There are so many beautiful jades in the palace, is there still such a piece? That's not He's Bi, if it's really worth a lot of money, it's worth the cost. One of the slightly younger voices spoke.
"It's no wonder that the emperor thinks so." A slightly old voice spoke, "You are young, and you probably don't know about the previous dynasty. That piece of jade...... Back then, it was the hand of Lord Chen of the previous dynasty, I don't know where to find it, and it is rumored that it is comparable to the beautiful jade of He's Bi, and I am afraid there are not many pieces in the whole world. At that time, the group of Taoist priests said that the piece of jade was superb, and even said that it was the essence of absorbing heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and it took thousands of years to produce such a piece, and also said that the Chang'e ascension to heaven was the chalcedony collected by Hou Yi from Xishan after taking it, this jade is the same as the jade of Biyu, and the legendary Queen Mother of Xishan is because she lives on the top of Kunlun Mountain, so she can live forever...... Such an unbelievable statement actually made the emperor believe it. If it weren't for the fact that the person who came out of nowhere would say something like that to the emperor would not be credible, I was afraid that Lord Chen...... If he hadn't died early that year and hadn't been divided by the five horses, he would have been buried with the emperor. ”
The woman asked in a low voice, "What did he say, Lord Chen...... It can't be Xiao Yifei's father, right? There are several adults with the surname Chen in the court, but listening to their tone, it seems to be referring to ...... The former owner of the house I'm watching? ”
"But the person who is proficient in mathematics and understands astronomy is probably the only one who is Master Chen." The man sighed slightly and said, "It's just a pity, he has been smart all his life, but he doesn't understand the people around him." If he hadn't married that concubine, I'm afraid that father and son wouldn't turn against each other, right? I'm afraid we won't invite such a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth. ”
"But our plan failed." The woman sighed low and said, "We have spent so much effort and done so many things, but we still haven't achieved anything, didn't you say it before, maybe it's just a rumor?" Is their claim really credible? Is that piece of jade really in Xishan? Hiding in the same place where they live? ”
"Probably?" The man's face was a little gloomy. He sighed after a while and said, "I'm not sure, but don't worry now, that person will give me accurate information when the time comes, and there will be no mistakes when the time comes." But you, are you moving too slowly? Don't you know that every one of our plans has to be put into practice immediately after he has carefully calculated it? If you miss a little, it means that we will lose a great opportunity. ”
