An hour later, Zhou Lang came back to confirm Mrs. Jiang's words: "My subordinates went down to explore the house, and there was indeed a room that was heavily guarded. And as soon as you walk in, the smell of gunpowder is very obvious. The owner of the house is Lian Fuhai, the head of the family. Although the vigilance of those guards is high, their martial arts are mediocre, and their subordinates come and go, as if they have entered a no-man's land. ”

Wait for Zhou Lang to finish speaking. Mrs. Zhou rubbed the teacup: "Lian family has been in business for generations, and Lian Fuhai is stupid." He didn't dare to hide gunpowder privately, there must be someone behind him. ”

If you can't find the person behind the scenes, then the Zhou family, who has been in frequent contact with the Lian family recently, will not be able to wash it off if they jump into the quagmire. The most unfortunate others will suspect that Lian Fuhai's courage was given by the Zhou family.

Old Madam Zhou said: "You go to wait for Xiangye outside the palace gate." Morning to report with him to know. Zhou Lang answered, turned around and walked out of Jing Yaxuan.

After Zhou Lang left, the two old men were still speechless. In the end, it was Mrs. Jiang who couldn't hold her breath: "With the financial resources of the Lian family, if you want to hide those gunpowders, you can hide them even more." Why is it placed in a downtown like Siping Street? It is obviously smelled outside the house?" Mrs. Zhou said disapprerovingly: "Because he is stupid, he may think that the person behind him must be able to support him, he doesn't know that the emperor is the most taboo firearms." That person's ten ** is to use him to rely on Hua'er. He's dying!"

Old Madam Zhou turned her head to look at Old Madam Jiang again: "Don't worry. You and I are both happy people. This kind of little thing can be handled by Hua'er. In the past few decades in the court, he has been very important to the emperor. There are many people who are angry with me. This is not a cause for concern. Between the words, I was quite proud of my son.

Mrs. Jiang had never seen such a young lady, and she said in her heart that you are not worried about Hua'er, but my granddaughter and grandson who are worried!

Mrs. Xu is old lady Zhou heard the old sister's heart, and she comforted: "Hua'er knows how to measure, even if the Lian family is involved, it will not affect the rest of the Zhou family." ”

With this promise, Mrs. Jiang did not run in vain this trip. She patted her heart, as if she was slapping her hanging heart.

Dinner was used by the two old people at Jing Yaxuan. When it was time to hold the lamp, Zhou Youxiang, who had been busy outside for a day, came back.

He was still wearing his official uniform, but he was tired. When you don't go out, you have to be refreshed.

Old Madam Zhou was still sitting on the top, and asked in a cold tone, "Can you find out some eyebrows?"

Zhou Youxiang said: "That batch of gunpowder should have been transported to Siping Street recently. There are about five quintals, all of which are untreated. Apparently freshly made. Moreover, it was not brought in from outside the city. ”

Old Madam Zhou's face sank, she was not transported in from outside the city. That is to say, there are people in the capital who have made gunpowder privately, and they have not yet been discovered by the imperial court! What about the safety of the capital?

She asked, "But what does it have to do with the 'crows'?"

Crows have always done only two things: collect money, kill people, and ask for a high price. The average person can't afford to hire it. It is said that the crows have eaten poison before they act, and if they do not succeed, they will surely die within three hours! Even the imperial court can't help them. Five months ago, he even seriously injured the twelve princes of the current queen in Huangjue Temple. That was the only time 'The Raven' missed.

Zhou Youxiang shook his head: "This is not the crow's way of doing things, since the emperor assassinated the twelve princes, the imperial court has made a gravity investigation. The Li family, the queen's mother, also paid a lot of money to encircle and suppress them. So during this time they simply did not have the ability to commit crimes. It's the sixth prince, who has recently trained in the military department. A month ago, a private artillery room was investigated. The emperor praised it very much."

can say the words from Zhou Youxiang's mouth, then even if it is doubtful, it is nine points certain. Old Madam Zhou nodded. Fu thought of the three words 'Huangjue Temple' that Zhou Youxiang had already swallowed back to his mouth, and couldn't help but sink his face again: "If it is said that it is framing you, it is too obvious to choose Siping Street." You'll have to figure out the twists and turns. ”

Zhou Youxiang said busily. There is no prince today, and among the princes, the eldest prince was born to the former queen Zhu, and it stands to reason that the name is justified. The six princes are the most loved by the emperor. The Twelfth Prince was only ten years old and was the only one born to Empress Li. The three princes have their own strengths on the road to succession. Now the Zhou family has decided to send Zhou Chongyan into the palace. It can be regarded as standing in the camp of the twelve princes. It is inevitable that he will not attract the grudge of the other two princes.

In this matter, maybe Lian Fuhai was used by the two princes to teach him a lesson, but it's a pity that it was self-defeating to get together!

Mrs. Jiang wanted to speak several times and stopped, but Zhou Youxiang noticed her strangeness: "Don't worry, aunt, this time it is Lian Fuhai's private gunpowder, and Lian's is the daughter of a marriage." She won't be involved. ”

Old Mrs. Jiang nodded, even Hua'er said so, this matter must be so decided. What else is there to worry about? She is an old woman, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks are involved, she can only care about her juniors.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

The Grand Prince's Mansion.

Han Maodian, who was dressed in white, pushed open the Nanmu carved door of the main hall, the eldest prince was playing chess alone, and the eldest prince had three out of twenty, but he had not yet been crowned king. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he didn't raise his head and said, "How?"

Han Maodian saluted and said, "The eldest prince has a clever plan and solved a problem for Zhou Shaoyang. ”

The eldest prince suddenly threw away the white jade chess pieces in his hand and laughed: "Zhou Youxiang is for the country and the people, and I should help him once." ”

Han Maodian said: "This deployment in the northwest suddenly stopped, and everyone couldn't stop it. had to throw an entire private artillery room to the imperial court. Unexpectedly, Sheng Yue picked up the bargain, not to mention, and backhanded to frame Zhou Shaoyang. ”

The eldest prince snorted: "It's cheaper for my imperial uncle, and he can't kill him if he is down-and-out like this!" he said and picked up a bottle of glazed flowers next to him and played: "I really want to see that my imperial uncle was blown apart." His eyes were vicious and vicious, and he wanted to burn through the glass bottle at this time!

Han Maodian lowered his head and didn't look at the eyes: "What the prince means, these two people can only die one." Since the eldest prince chose to let Zhou Shaoyang die, he had to let King Runan live. Otherwise, the country will be in chaos!"

The eldest prince put on a warm smile again: "I know, you have helped me a lot, how can I not listen to your advice." Speaking of which, I want to thank the Li family for putting Han Maodian by his side for being clever, hoping to make him provoke the suspicion of his father. Who knew that he would be like a tiger, and now he has a chance to get rid of Zhou Shaoyang, the enemy who killed his mother: "Can you guarantee that this plan will be foolproof?"

Han Maodian said: "The eldest prince and rest assured, although Zhou Shaoyang has a lot of secret guards around him, the person selected by the 'crow' this time can have the opportunity to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion." There will definitely be a chance to kill with one blow!

The eldest prince nodded, he had waited for thirteen years. Why be afraid of these months!

(To be continued)

How to say it, it may be that there is too little foreshadowing in front, and it feels a bit bloody to suddenly write this. What do you think?
