Chapter 285: Jinnan's Secret Letter

Luo Mingmin came over that day and brought the good news that Liu Dongxing had won the battle in the frontier, and he came over today, I don't know what other good news there is. Wen Yi stood up immediately, and suddenly remembered that Jiang Yao was still there, so she hesitated a little.

Jiang Yao has always been very eye-catching, although she has something in her heart, she still found Wen Yi's abnormality, and hurriedly said: "Since there are outsiders, you go and greet first, you don't have to ......" suddenly stopped, remembering who this "Second Master Luo" was, her face couldn't help but blush slightly.

Wen Yi is in a dilemma, if Jiang Yao just comes over to hang out with the door, it will be fine, but she has something to do, and listening to her words is obviously not a trivial matter. After hesitating for a moment, Wen Yi made a decision and said to Lianxin: "Go and ask Shu Ping to come forward to say hello, and make amends to Second Master Luo for me, and I will go in a while." ”

Lianxin paused, and then bent his knees and retreated. Wen Yi turned around and said to Jiang Yao: "That's a friend of my father-in-law, you have also seen it, that is, the one when you greeted your relatives, didn't you say that day that when you came back from Zhuangzi outside the city, the road was in danger, or he rescued him?" ”

Jiang Yao nodded with a slightly red face: "Which one is it?" I...... You'll have to thank him again. Raising his eyes and looking at Wen Yi, seeing that there was a faint understanding in her eyes, her face turned even redder, and she took a few deep breaths and brought her attention back to the topic: "The King Zheng I mentioned just now is the prince today, who was also quite beautiful in Beijing in his early years, and there were rumors that he was the best candidate for the crown prince, but later he became a prince early, and was sealed a domain, so he was ordered to go to the domain." Originally, every year during the New Year or the Thousand Autumn Festival of Longevity, he would go back to Beijing for a walk, and every time he could attract the attention of the capital, and many courtiers respected him, and the prince never broke off, but since the three princes were appointed as the crown princes, no one has mentioned this matter. ”

Wen Yi didn't know much about the things in the capital, he only knew that this King Zheng was a high-minded person, since he was once a candidate for the prince and a brother, he must have been quite unwilling to become the prince of the third prince, so it would not be unusual for him to rebel in the future. Hearing this, Wen Yi had already guessed a little about Jiang Yao's intention, so she lowered her voice and asked her: "But what is wrong with this highness in the domain, so that Ling Zun found out?" ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Yao's eyes, and he leaned closer and whispered, "You guessed?" In fact, it's not just in Qingzhou, the feudal land, my father suspects that he has reached out to Jinnan."

Wen Yi was taken aback: "Jinnan? How so? "You must know that Jiang Yao's father later made great contributions to King Zheng's rebellion

Jiang Yao took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to her: "This is a letter sent back by my father when he was in office, but it was not sent by his family, but entrusted to a businessman." The servant was afraid that he would not be able to send the letter out, so he found a familiar merchant and spent money to ask him to bring the letter back. I don't know what happened to the servant. ”

Wen Yi hurriedly took the letter, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Jiang Yao. Jiang Yao said: "You can read it, although this is a family letter, but the content is not, it was originally written by my father to report to me." ”

Wen Yi opened the letter when she heard this, but she couldn't see any problems. The content of the letter expresses a father's love and care for his only daughter, not only greeting the body, but also asking about the experience after parting, and even the girl and mother-in-law next to the daughter are thoughtful. Wen Yi looked at it again and again, but she couldn't see where the letter revealed King Zheng's reversal.

Jiang Yao said: "The mystery in this letter is not visible to outsiders, it turned out that when I was a child, because my mother died early and my father died on official business, I was alone at home every day, very boring, and I was not sensible at that time, and I often made trouble, which made my father worried." My father came up with a way to play a game with me, which was to write a note and hide what he wanted me to do, and if I could guess and do so, he would play with me for a day when he was resting, or promise me a condition. This game is also very simple.,At the beginning it's just a hidden poem.,Later, I played a lot.,It became a word split.,To resynthesize half of the two words before and after into a word.,I got the word he wanted me to see.,And then it's more and more difficult.,Sometimes my father will take apart what he wants to say.,Insert a few words between each word.,Re-form a new sentence.,The most difficult time,Even to solve it upside down.。 I had to try my best every day to solve the puzzles left by my father, and when they were solved, my father came back from the yamen, and the time was not sad at all, until I was ten years old and could go out to visit and make friends, and then I stopped playing......"

Wen Yi sighed when she heard it, she never imagined that Uncle Jiang was such an interesting person who was willing to play games with her little daughter.

Jiang Yao smiled a little embarrassedly: "I haven't played for a few years, and when I first received the letter, I didn't recognize it, because I saw my father calling my eldest girl's name in the letter. Where in my house are there people with these two names? And I don't like to eat secret preserved fruits, and there is no leakage in the yard of the study. All kinds of abnormalities are really weird. I carefully scrutinized the words in the letter, and only then did I discover the mystery in the letter. ”

Wen Yi lowered her head and looked at the letter again, and according to the method Jiang Yao said, she really saw something.

On the first piece of paper of that letter, starting from the last word, counting backwards, every ten words, you can draw out a word, and read it together, that is: "King Zheng has changed, the officials and troops of Qingzhou are restricted, and so is Jinnan, try to report it secretly, don't leak the news." ”

So, King Zheng is really going to turn around? Not only did he control the court officials in Qingzhou, but even Jinnanzhou did not escape. Jiang Zhizhou has only been in office for more than half a year, and if he wants to return to Beijing with a family heirloom, he has to cover it up in such a secret way, but he can't escape the fate of being intercepted......

Although Wen Yi knew that he was still alive and well after King Zheng was suppressed, she couldn't help but worry, after all, after she was reborn, things in the world had changed a lot.

She hurriedly asked Jiang Yao: "When did you receive this letter?" That time, you proposed to me that you should hold a tea party to entertain the ladies of the Li family, the Ruan family, the Long family, and the Cha family, but for this matter? Why don't you tell your uncle and aunt? "What connections can Jiang Yao have in Beijing? If you want to tell such a big thing secretly, you can only start with those noble women, but Master Gu is also an official of the imperial court, so he may not be able to help.

Jiang Yao smiled bitterly, took out the second piece of letterhead, and showed it to her: "You take a closer look at the content in this one, starting with the second line." ”

Wen Yi took it and looked at it, starting from the first word of the second line of words, counting down, drawing out a word every ten words, only forming half a sentence, and couldn't help but tremble. This half sentence is "Dongping came to meet King Zheng secretly". Could it be that even the Dongping Mansion was also involved in this big case?

She looked up at Jiang Yao suddenly, Jiang Yao smiled bitterly: "I won't tell you, Princess Dongping is the daughter of the Liu family, and the Gu and Liu families have been married for two generations, if you don't trust you, and the time is delayed for too long, I am afraid that my father will be in danger, and I may not even dare to speak to you."

Wen Yi bit her lip, and her heart was in turmoil.

Whether it is the Dongping Palace, or the Liu Fu family, their wealth and glory are not worth mentioning to her, but rebellion is not a trivial matter, one is not good, Liu Dongxing will also be involved, and the Gu family may not be able to escape implication. What should she do?

The three thin pieces of letter paper were as heavy as Mount Tai in her hands.

Jiang Yao's heart was also beating fast, since she received the letter, she has been thinking of a way to report the news to the court on the premise that outsiders are not suspicious, Lu Wangfu is also a vassal king, she can't believe it, so she didn't go to Xiaojunjun, only proposed to Wen Yi, thinking of borrowing Wen Yi's name, invited the young ladies of the Ruan and Li families, maybe she could quietly pass the letter up. But it was not a coincidence, the Liu family and the Shilang Mansion had a lot of troubles, and she was under the jurisdiction of the Jiang family and could not act at will. Seeing that time passed day by day, and there was no news from her father in Jinnan, she was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, so after learning that Liu Dongxing had made military merits again, she immediately found Wen Yi, and wanted to take the opportunity of Wen Yi to enter the palace again and report directly to the palace.

However, this matter is involved in the Dongping Palace, compared with the Gu family, Wen Yi's in-law Liu family is more closely related to the Dongping Palace, Wen Yi can even be said to be the maiden nephew and daughter-in-law of Princess Dongping, she also took a great risk by doing this, if she hadn't heard about the dispute between the Liu family and the concubine, she might not have opened this mouth at all.

Wen Yi thought about it again and again, and finally made a decision. She said to Jiang Yao: "Sister Jiang, this matter involves the court and the vassal king, and it is no longer something that I and other women in the house can decide, right now Brother Luo is waiting in the front yard, why don't you invite him over for details?" Brother Luo is a very reliable person, and he has always had ideas, and he is an imperial merchant at home, so he knows more clearly about the affairs of the court, maybe he can help us come up with a good way? ”

Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and then hesitated: "His family is an imperial businessman, no matter how smart he is, this is related to the rebellion of the imperial vassal king......"

Wen Yi smiled: "Sister Jiang, I want to invite Brother Luo here, not just to discuss this matter. Guihai Luo's is famous, and the industry is all over the world, and Qingzhou also has his family and industry, and Jinnan should also have it. Now that he knows, he may be able to ask his family to help him inquire about Ling Zun's news, and if Ling Zun's movement is restricted, he may be able to find a way to bring a letter to him......"

Jiang Yao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, I have heard that the Luo family's business is very extensive, even if King Zheng and King Dongping work together to control Qingzhou and Jinnan Prefecture, they can't drive the merchants away, right?" She nodded immediately: "Please invite that Second Master Luo in, this matter is quite risky, I want to tell him personally." After saying this, his face turned red again, but the determination on his face did not diminish.

Wen Yi immediately took Jiang Yao to the outer study, and the latter hesitated slightly: "See you in the outer study, doesn't it matter?" I heard that someone from the Liu family has borrowed your house. ”

Wen Yi said with a smile: "Uncle Seven's family left the capital a few days ago, and now there are only people in the family except for my grandmother and me. You don't have to worry, it's more convenient to see him in the outer study than in the inner courtyard. Only then did Jiang Yao let go of her worries.

When he arrived at the outer study, Luo Mingmin had already received a message from Shu Ping first, knowing that Wen Yi had important matters to discuss with him, and he didn't dare to laugh and play like usual, but when he saw Jiang Yao behind Wen Yi, he was also stunned: "Brother and sister, ...... are you?"

Wen Yi replied: "Looking for Brother Luo today, it turned out that the elder sister of the Jiang family brought a piece of news, which is related to the important affairs of the imperial court, we are just boudoir women, and we dare not make up our minds, so we can only ask Brother Luo to help us refer to the details." ”

Jiang Yao secretly glanced at Luo Mingmin, took a deep breath, and saluted solemnly: "Please forgive Second Prince Luo, this matter is related to the life of my father's career, if I have no last resort, I don't dare to drive Second Prince Luo, please keep it a secret after listening." ”

Seeing that they were serious, Luo Mingmin also became serious: "Say, what is the matter?" ”

Wen Yi and Jiang Yao glanced at each other, and the latter spoke first: "My father is currently the ...... of Jinnan Zhizhou"

"Jinnan?" Luo Mingmin interrupted her, and surprise burst out in her eyes, "Is it Jinnan Prefecture on the edge of Qingzhou?" He couldn't help but grasp Jiang Yao's hand: "Is there any news from King Zheng's mansion?" ”。.。
