"My lord, if you want to do it, it's actually very simple, it's not difficult for me Jinyiwei to take people's lives, this is just Nanjing City, even in the capital, it's not impossible. Merely...... The lowly came here and found a lot of strange things, and the lowly thought that before doing things, the adults should listen to these things. Wang Yong hugged his fists.

Song Nan said: "Say." ”

Wang Yong glanced at Wang Zitong and Zheng Da and said: "After the humble post came here, Deputy Zheng Zhenfu and Lord Wang informed me of a piece of news, which was found to be true after checking in the past few days; That Gu Dayong is now the head of the Nanjing Imperial Palace, since the beginning of the year, this guy has controlled a lot of people in the Nanjing Imperial Horse Prison, and now it has become a yamen similar to the factory yamen, and there are hundreds of people wandering around the streets and alleys every day, collecting news or something. ”

Song Nan frowned and said, "Oh? Is there such a thing? What is this guy trying to do? ”

Wang Yong shook his head and said, "Although we have investigated this matter, we don't know the point. It can only be explained that this guy wants to make a comeback in Nanjing. If this guy can make a name for himself in Nanjing, for example, to find out about the greed of important officials. After the corruption and dereliction of duty are played in the imperial court, they may not be able to make meritorious contributions and forgive their crimes and be transferred back to the capital. ”

Song Nan frowned and thought for a while: "He wants to go back to the capital and make a comeback?" This is naïve. But your opinion may not be wrong, maybe he didn't have this idea before, but now he is the Queen Mother's person, and the Queen Mother Zhang must have given him some reassurance pill to eat, so he jumped out. ”

Wang Yong and the others nodded one after another: "Very likely." ”

Song Nan said: "Gu Da used to strangle the female officials around the princess, can you investigate clearly?" What was it like that night? ”

Zheng Da hurriedly said: "My lord, this matter has been clarified, it was Gu Da who moved with a few eunuchs that night, and the two female officials didn't say anything. Adults can rest assured. ”

Song Nan's heart fell to the ground, Cui Hongying and Hongyu didn't seem to say anything about stealing the dragon robe with the princess before they died, so things were much simpler; If the news leaked that night, Gu Dayong would definitely be the only one who knew, maybe the Queen Mother would also know; This can also explain why Zhengde will let himself go this time, if he knew that he had stolen the dragon robe and framed Liu Jin, he would probably be in prison now. I had this kind of judgment before I came, but if I was unsure, I was always uneasy.

"Okay, in this case, Gu Dayong can be killed immediately, arrange it immediately in the next few days, it is best to kill him while he is out of the palace, it is not impossible to do it in the palace, but the impact is too great."

Wang Yong, Zheng Da Wang Zitong and others were silent, Song Nan felt strange and asked, "What?" Is it difficult? ”

Wang Yong said: "There is no difficulty, but I am afraid that it will not work in the past few days." ”

"Why is that?"

"Did you go to Hakubashi tonight to watch the Oiran competition?"

"yes, does that have anything to do with that?" Song Nan was surprised.

"Unknown adults can see Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning from Nanchang?" Wang Yong asked.

Song Nan frowned and said, "You also know about this?" I also want to ask you for verification, I heard that Zhu Chenhao came to Nanjing and bought several green buildings in Qinhuaihe, which seems to be true. But what does it have to do with it? ”

Wang Yong said: "My lord, can I see King Ning in Baiqiao tonight?" If you see it, you will also see Gu Dayong. ”

Song Nan was stunned and said, "Gu Dayong? Is he with King Ning? ”

Wang Yong nodded and said: "The relationship between this Ning Wang Ye and Gu Dayong seems to be unusual, this time they have been together almost every day, and the news of the Jinyi Wei Yamen has learned that tonight King Ning invited Gu Dayong to watch the Oiran Competition, if the adults can see King Ning, they will also see Gu Dayong." ”

Song Nan said in a daze: "I didn't see it, I didn't show up, fortunately I didn't show up, otherwise let Gu Dayong know that I came to Nanjing, and with the shrewdness of this guy, he will definitely guard against me." This thing is interesting, Gu Dayong is a degraded eunuch, and no one should have cared about it, but recently he not only got on the ship of the queen mother, but also had a hot fight with a vassal king, which is strange. ”

Wang Yong said: "Maybe it's just an old acquaintance, when Gu Da was in the capital, he also had friends with foreign officials and vassal kings, maybe it was just that Prince Ning came to Nanjing to buy a house, and Gu Da used up the friendship of the landlord." ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "I hope so, this Ning Wang Ye is really, what is it bad to come to Nanjing, buy a few green buildings to be the boss behind the scenes, isn't this the face of the royal family?" I don't know what he thinks. ”

The prince said suddenly: "These famous buildings in Nanjing City are not simple, Jiangnan officialdom has always been popular to be proud of taking Oiran as a concubine, and the comparison is very powerful." The year before last, Bai Dongdong, the Oiran lady, was redeemed by Li Weiqing, the governor of Zhejiang, for 100,000 taels of silver and included in her private pet, and she took her to the banquet and drinking party every day, and the scenery was very beautiful. ”

Song Nan's heart moved: "One hundred thousand taels? This is too cheap, isn't it, how can the Oiran redeem itself be so cheap? ”

Wang Zitong snorted and said, "Do you still need to ask?" Half redeemed and half sent, the official is older, and he always has face, and the governor wants to redeem her for her, will the owner of Shuiyue Tower open his mouth? ”

Song Nan pondered for a long time, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, and muttered: "Is there such a habit in Jiangnan officialdom? It is popular to ask for the red cards of several famous buildings as concubines, and show off to each other at the party? ”

Wang Zitong said with a smile: "The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, you don't know the atmosphere of Jiangnan officialdom, the trend of taking drugs and taking concubines and prostituting children is prevalent, in recent years, the Ming Dynasty has been stable, and there is no chaos in the place, everyone is afraid that they are panicked, and I am afraid that I will not be happy if I don't get some tricks." ”

Song Nan picked up the wine bowl and drank a few sips slowly, his brows furrowed into a pimple, and he had been engaged in Jinyiwei for many years, and he was sensitive to tell himself, this matter was connected with King Ning's purchase of a famous building, and he always felt a little weird; I have been dating King Ning for a while, and I always feel that this person doesn't want to be so enthusiastic and cheerful on the outside, and it seems that he has some scheming hidden in it.

Seeing that Song Nan was suddenly silent, everyone stared at each other at a loss, Wang Yong asked cautiously: "My lord, how to handle Gu Dayong's affairs, and ask your lord to show me, although he and King Ning are mixed together, it is not difficult to find an opportunity to kill." ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said: "No, this matter will be postponed first, from tomorrow, mobilize capable forces to find out two things for me, first, what Prince Ning did when he came to Nanjing City, everything must be written into a secret report and reported to me; Second, let me find out the details of Prince Ning's acquisition of the top ten famous buildings in the Qinhuai River, as well as the details of a person named Fang Qingshan who was mixed in the Qinhuai River area. ”

The prince was stunned and said, "Your Excellency wants King Chaning?" This...... Not quite right? ”

Wang Yong shouted: "What's not appropriate, the adults will check whoever they say." Except for the emperor, everyone can check it. Don't understand this yet? ”

The prince hurriedly said: "This is not what the lowly position means, the lowly position means that the investigation can be checked, but why do adults want to investigate, they always have to say a reason, and there is a direction." After all, the forces of all parties in Nanjing are complicated, and I don't have many people in Jinyiwei, so I can only secretly investigate and make secret visits, if there is no direction, I am afraid that I will not get the information that the adults want. ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "Commander Wang is also in the habit of Jiangnan officialdom, and he still has such a request; Well, I'll make an exception to explain a few words to you, but this time. Don't ask so many questions next time, or you'll be considered incompetent. ”

The prince blushed and said, "Damn it, don't ask about it." ”

Song Nan said: "Listen, it's not for nothing that I investigated this matter; A prince, what do you do a lot, invest in real estate, do business or anything is very good, why buy a green building to practice his reputation? This is one of the suspicious. Second, as you said just now, Jiangnan officialdom has been popular in recent years to privately ask for the red card trained by Qinhuai's famous building as a personal favorite, so is there any connection between this? ”

Wang Yong suddenly said in a low voice: "Does the adult mean ......?" ”

Song Nan shook his head and said: "I didn't say anything, we are Jinyiwei, our noses are smarter than dogs, and we must be able to smell the slightest strangeness in a calm, so we are qualified Jinyiwei; I'm not sure about anything, but if I have doubts, I'm going to look it up. ”

Several people in the audience were stunned and frightened, a dense layer of fine sweat appeared on their backs, and Song Nan's imagination outside of his words was extremely large, and a terrible picture appeared in their minds, making them dumbfounded.

"Check that Fang Qingshan, that's my personal curiosity, this guy makes me very interested, I just want to know where he came from, what he has done in Nanjing over the years, and nothing else." Song Nan began to bury his head in eating vegetables, regardless of the shocked few people in front of him.

"This habit of Jiangnan officialdom is the easiest to be taken advantage of. I have been in business for more than 100 years, and the dark tun that has been planted is all over the place, from the prince's mansion to the teahouse and wine shop. But none of this qiē is easy to obtain information, and that is the person next to the pillow. The women who were trained in the famous buildings were scattered in the officials' houses, and if they became such a secret tree, they would be the most successful intelligence stealers. Song Nan buried his head in eating and drinking, but it was difficult to calm down in his heart.
