Chapter 566: Ruthless infighting, the chess pieces have been moved
No matter how eager people's hearts are, time is still not in a hurry.
This long winter, the pace of departure seems to be more slow, it is already the middle of March, the fierce wind is still mixed with a little frost knife cold, so that the warmth brought by the increasingly strong spring shine is always a little weak, floating on the surface.
Despite this, the willow shoots have been dyed with new greenery, and the branches are gradually blooming.
The various music gardens in the suburbs of Beijing ushered in the busy time of the year, and the Wenhui Spring Banquet was not in sight.
Yu Feng did not usher in the expected busyness, in the early spring of the ninth year of Yuanqing, he, a cabinet scholar with a holy mandate, sat idle for the first time, because the third prince did not bother him.
It is the Weiguo Mansion, except for Su Ming's order to leak his mouth, he has not received any orders from the third prince.
The most is the benefit of the spring of the year, the absolute victory of the smoke and willows full of the imperial capital, Jinyang City is bright and charming since the spring, and most people are not aware that the political storm that is ready to go is imminent.
Although Yu Feng felt more and more uneasy, he also understood that it was not the time to act rashly, and at this juncture, it was a big taboo to keep an eye on the actions of the three princes.
He had no choice but to focus on Yu Dong's family first.
As he expected, when the "unintentional words" were passed to Yu Dong through his ears and eyes, the second uncle immediately became suspicious, but he went to visit the third master Xie once after a while, and when he came out, he faced the king of Hades, beat the horse and ran out of the suburbs of the city.
Less than a month after the death of Yu's mother and son, Xiao Xie received a gift from Yu Dong, saying that he had a cronie who had obtained a secret hair oil from a foreign country by sea.
Xiao Xie uses it very well and can't put it down.
After hearing this, Yijing instructed the Shan family to secretly "steal" some of them, and Yu Feng took them to Jiang Qinggu for inspection.
Soon there was a result, it was poisonous, but it was not lethal, but after a year or two, it would cause people to hallucinate and eventually go crazy.
When she heard this, she shuddered fiercely.
"The third master tasted the sweetness given by the second uncle and the second aunt, and even found Yu Zhou again, what the two talked about secretly is difficult to know, but Yu Zhou gave the third master a thousand taels of silver." Yu Feng said.
"Who is Yu Zhou trying to harm?" Yijing subconsciously thought that the third master had finally seen the way to get rich, and planned to use the poison of the Miao family to eat and drink spicy.
"I suspect that the third master did not give him poison, but sold him Yu Dong to buy poison."
"When did this happen?" Yijing's eyes widened.
"February."
Yijing was stunned for a while, and shook his head in disbelief: "If that's the case...... The second aunt still uses that thing! β
Xiao Xie's personal maid is Shan's cronies, this kind of non-trivial things are not difficult to know, don't say that Xiao Xie's things used in the past are her three meals a day, if Yijing has a heart, you can also know a lot.
Although she was shocked by Yu Dong's ruthlessness, she didn't have the bodhisattva heart to remind Xiao Xie that she had to stand by, but when she thought that Yu Zhou had already knew, she was indifferent to watching Xiao Xie use that maddening poison day after day...... The princess shivered again.
Yu Feng shook his head and sneered: "The depth of people's hearts and the weight of viciousness are beyond the reach of others. β
Neither of them expected that because Xiao Xie intended to use the poison of the Miao family to assassinate Yu's mother and son, it attracted Yu Dong to return to his body, causing the third grandfather Xie to make a windfall from it, and it became more and more difficult to fill.
In Yihong Street in March, the business of the major brothels is very prosperous, it is daytime, and there is no shortage of beautiful girls who are invited by benefactors to go to the suburbs of the city to help with wine and fun.
The gentlemen can't wait for the spring warmth to be more victorious, and have already begun to indulge in a feast.
There are many drinking and feasting banquets that are just for fun, and there are few contradictions and conflicts that come one after another, for a certain beauty, or even a word on the wine table, it may lead to a brawl and dispute, which Yu Xiang can meet by chance this day.
He was invited to participate in a banquet organized by the sons of nobles, the place was in the peony garden on the outskirts of the city - of course, the owner has changed hands, not Yu Dong, most people don't even know that this place was once taken over by Yu Xiang's father, and now it is secretly "bought back" by Gu Qiuyue at a very low price.
Gu Qiuyue was also at the banquet, and his cousin Yin Yong became the son-in-law of the Chu Palace, and he became more and more popular because he had a wide range of friends.
The prince asked him to pay attention to Yu Xiang secretly, of course Gu Qiuyue kept it in mind, in fact, this time Yu Xiang was invited, which made Gu Qiuyue bother.
Blowing, playing, singing, and staggering scenes and until the next day, most of the gentlemen are already drunk and hazy, ugly, some are drunk and lying in the arms of beauties, some simply slip under the table and snoring with wine jugs, and some people disregard their physique, hug the beauties in public and frolic, gnawing and biting.
Yu Xiang drank a good amount of alcohol, and he was not drunk, but he also pretended to be unsteady in his pace, and hung on a beauty and asked people to help him go to the clean room.
Gu Qiuyue followed far behind.
Since the peony garden was retaken over by him, it has regained its reputation and business is booming, and it is impossible for people to rent the whole garden, but rent it out, although there are screens and curtains, but it cannot avoid the guests at different tables from bumping into each other.
Gu Qiuyue clearly saw that Third Master Xie was hiding in the shade of a flower, and watched Yu Xiang pull the beautiful woman to the quiet pavilion, with a treacherous look.
Gu Qiuyue dodged and hid aside.
After waiting for a moment, I heard an exclamation in the pavilion, and then a cry of pain.
The beauty twisted her slender waist and fled in panic, her clothes were scattered, and the begonia on her sideburns was crumbling, but she didn't run away, but stood outside the pavilion and scolded coquettishly-
"Phew, if it weren't for Ren Lang's face, who would want to take care of you, and still claim to be a child of the clan...... Could it be that he is blind without ears, can't see or hear the ridicule of others, and the iron rooster who doesn't pull out a hair, knows how to eat and drink, and dares to take advantage of his aunt and grandmother, and he doesn't pee and take pictures...... And when your aunt and grandmother are your family's maidservants, you want to take advantage of it without paying money, and send your blue sky daydreams, there are still clans in this world that eat white food? I'm not afraid of losing the royal family. The delicate beauty crossed her hands on her hips, but the words she said were very different from her face, which was very pungent and hurtful.
Gu Qiuyue recognized this prostitute, he was not a great oiran, he was just having some dealings with the Shunping Bo family, and he was so bold that he dared to curse the children of the clan? My eyes widened for a moment.
I saw that the door of the pavilion was kicked open, and the people who rushed out were manic and couldn't help it...... Yu Xiang's description was embarrassed, his coat was gone, his middle coat was also scattered, the waist of his pants was obviously tied in a hurry, and there was a bruise on his head, I don't know where he was left by someone who pushed and hit him.
Obviously, he was moved by lust and wanted to steal joy, but he was coaxed by this bold prostitute to untie his clothes first, and he was deliberately humiliated.
The prostitute didn't expect the dignified clan to chase him out in rags, and he was startled, and he didn't care about the advantages of his tongue, so he turned around and ran.
Yu Xiang chased after him with a muffled roar.
Gu Qiuyue pressed her forehead against a thick banyan tree in front of herβare you sure this person is the cousin of the personable prince? The blood relationship is so close, and the character is simply very different.
How is this good, can it be that he watched Yu Xiang make a fool of himself and the reputation of the royal family......
Gu Qiuyue was still hesitant in her mind, her hands and feet had already moved, seeing that the prostitute was screaming and running away, she hurriedly flew forward, and wanted to stop Yu Xiang from "killing" the banquet in a hurry with this description, but he was still a step too late.
Yu Xiang was stopped by the third Mrs. Xie who arrived first.
"My good nephew, you can't bear to laugh when you go out like this!"
Gu Qiuyue's mind moved, and she seemed to understand, could it be that the prostitute was bought by Third Master Xie, and hurriedly persuaded: "San Lang, don't be in a hurry, don't be impulsive, what is your identity, I'm afraid that there will be no chance to clean up a cheap maid." β
Third Master Xie glanced at Gu Qiuyue, looked strange, didn't care, and hurriedly pulled Yu Xiang into the pavilion: "Listen to my uncle's words, don't worry about the same prostitute, blame those who chew their teeth behind their backs......" said all the way, Gu Qiuyue vaguely heard a few more words.
"It's also to blame your father and mother for being too tight, how can you not prepare some money for socializing"; For example, "In this world, there are some people who hate the poor and love the rich"......
Gu Qiuyue was confused, so she had to report this matter to Yu Feng as it was.
"I inquired about it, and the prostitute was really bought by Third Master Xie, first asked her to tease San Lang, and then led her to a place where no one was humiliated in person."
Yu Feng frowned, and pondered for a moment before saying, "You don't want to reason about this, and continue to pay attention to Yu Xiang, especially in Qian Yin." β
A few days later, Gu Qiuyue had a reply, saying that Yu Xiang opened his mouth to ask him to borrow 10,000 taels of silver, and said that he was not ashamed, saying that it would be returned in two months, and he was willing to pay heavy interest.
Yu Xiang is not left and right in the noble circle, the prostitute said it well, there are indeed many people who secretly joke that Yu Xiang is stingy, eats and drinks, and even owes debts in Fireworks Alley, don't say that ten thousand taels of silver is a hundred taels, and no one is willing to borrow him, but Gu Qiuyue is famous for "fighting righteousness and squandering money", this paragraph is intended to befriend Yu Xiang, no wonder Yu Xiang asked him to speak.
In fact, Yu Xiang was really wronged, it was not that he was stingy, in those years, Xiao Xie had spare money in his hands, and when he didn't pay attention to him, he was also generous and never owed people a banquet. However, since Yu Dong and his wife were targeted by the vampire bat of Third Master Xie, their money has been tightened, and they have no spare money for Yu Xiang to squander.
Yu Xiang's pocket money that he tried his best to blackmail was not enough to go to the chicken farm to spend half a day, where did he have the confidence to invite a banquet, as time went by, the original righteousness and squandering money were completely forgotten by those friends of wine and meat, and he only remembered the small utensils at the moment.
However, the gentlemen still cared about the skin of the clan on Yu Xiang's face, and the bright side was gradually estranged, and he was not embarrassed, but there were some disdainful discussions behind his back, especially when the wine came up.
Yu Xiang was ignorant and didn't know that he had been ridiculed and looked down upon, and his reputation for being stingy was widely spread in Yihong Street.
What made Yu Feng sneer was that Third Master Xie bribed the prostitutes to stab those gossipes, and Yu Xiang turned his head and needed 10,000 taels of silver for what to use.
It seems that the crown prince has not yet been assassinated, and Yu Dong is guilty, and his family will start fighting from the inside.
Yu Feng shook his head and said to Gu Qiuyue: "Hang him, don't be in a hurry to give, don't refuse, just say that you need to raise it, and wait for me to give the money when you want." β
The prince still waits for the right time.
And in April, after the banquet in Fanglin, the calm Jinyang Jing suddenly had a storm.
Zhang Tai, an official of the Ministry of Rites, returned home from a banquet and was almost ambushed, thanks to the soldiers and horses during the inspection, Zhang Tai survived, one of the perpetrators took poison, one was arrested, and he was sent to Shuntianfu.
"Here we go." When he heard the news, Yu Feng was playing against Yijing with the lantern, and a sunspot fell in response.
And in Kunren Palace, the queen also heard the news almost immediately, and the case was taken, and she was stunned for a long time.
followed by a loud "bang", and a case was completely overturned by the queen.
It turned out to be alive!
"Find a way to summon the ...... immediately" The anger and fear made the queen shake: "Let San Lang go to Shuntian Mansion and take over the trial of this case!" β
At this time, there was no other way to rely on the three princes, and he had to inform him about the dance.
The queen sat down in a daze.
At the same time, in Prince Qing's mansion, the four princes were also full of solemnity: "The queen actually missed...... It's Shuntianfu again......" suddenly slanted the corners of his lips: "The third child wants to sit back and enjoy the fisherman and be alone, but this time it's difficult." β
Chen Changshi on the side of "Tomorrow's ......" was very hesitant.
"The arrow has to be sent, you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, pass me the four words, and follow the plan."
