A few days after Xie Jingxing returned to Prince Rui's mansion, he was going to Ruyang City again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince Lu Zhengchun chose Ruyang as the base of the rebellion, Ruyang was already a complex force in the city, although there were people from the Moyu Army who were sweeping away the remnants of the army, but it was only a force. Among them, Lu Zhengchun's lackey, who is deeply hidden, the royal family plans to let go of none of them this time. It is better to kill three thousand by mistake than let one go, so it will be handed over to Xie Jingxing to sort it out himself.
After Xie Jing left, all the affairs inside and outside Prince Rui's mansion were handed over to Shen Miao. Prince Rui's Mansion has a weightless attitude in the entire Longye, and many courtiers are still watching, so they are staring at Prince Rui's every move. Shen Miao, as in the past, talked to those ladies from time to time, and subtly passed on some news, and the situation was finally under control.
The disaster brought by this wave of the Lu family is in the past, because the place where the Lu family rebelled started from Ruyang, and the people of Longye were not affected, at most they followed the public opinion and scolded the Lu family for being a rebellious minister and thief.
The people were stable, the courtiers did not dare to act without permission, the overall situation was stable, and everything began to look the same as before, except for one family.
Prime Minister's Mansion Ye family.
Ye Maocai has been in the court for so many years, when Emperor Yongle sat on the throne, he was still just a weak boy, and now this young man has grown into an unfathomable man, and his means are as ruthless as his father, and the Ye family sees that there is no way to live.
Ye Maocai is not as stupid as Lu Zhengchun, nor is he as arrogant as Lu Zhengchun. The power shown by Emperor Yongle made Ye Mao understand that the current Ye family is not capable of competing with the Daliang Imperial Family, and can only be like a needle and a thorn, pierced into Emperor Yongle's body, without pain or itching, but what the Ye family has to pay is the fate of the entire mansion.
No one wants to die, and no one wants to go down a dead end willingly.
Ye Maocai is about to start planning an escape path for himself. He wanted to keep his only heir, but he could give it up if necessary. But the most important thing is that now the Ye family's every move is under the eyes of the royal people, and it is so difficult to escape.
What's more, no one thought that Emperor Yongle's movements would come so fast.
On this day, Shen Miaofang came back from Mrs. Yushi's mansion, and it was almost evening. The long summer has finally passed, and the breath of early autumn has begun to take shape, and the flowers and trees in the yard have begun to shed their leaves, and a thin layer has fallen before they have been swept away, and a gust of wind blows, and a few grains have been sprinkled sporadically. I was stunned and had a headache, but when the wind passed, I couldn't help but sweep the yard with a broom.
Shen Miao was standing on the edge of the courtyard, Uncle Tang happened to come over, and when he saw her, he smiled and said, "Madam, the kitchen has boiled soup today, and when the soup is ready, let someone bring a bowl to Madame." These days, Mrs. goes out early and returns late all day long, which is really hard. ”
"It's just to talk to people, and it shouldn't be hard. Shen Miao smiled slightly. Thinking of Xie Jingxing, who was still in Ruyang, he couldn't help but sigh.
The matter is far from over, and now that Long Ye looks calmer, the deeper the hidden danger is. Even the Ye family was cleaned up, but Ming Qi, who was thousands of miles away. Now she is worried about her two intestines, on the one hand, she is worried about Mingqi, and on the other hand, she is worried about the cold. How long Emperor Yongle's illness can be supported now, and when Fu Xiuyi and Qin Guo will join forces to attack Da Liang, these are all uncertain things. Once there is any accident, in this Daliang royal family, only Xie Jingxing can take responsibility, and similarly, she will have to face more problems.
Xie Jingxing is right, there is no time. There is indeed not much time left for them to slowly plan against each other.
was thinking about it, but saw Mo Qing walking in in a hurry, his expression was a little strange. These days, Shen Miao has asked Mo Qing to monitor the movements of Ye Lin's sister and brother day and night. Ye Lin has already caught up with Jin Xingming, and Jin Xingming is about to leave Da Liang, Shen Miao will not let her succeed, in some ways, Ye Lin is more troublesome than Ye Maocai.
"The emperor has issued an order to invite Ye Maocai into the palace. Mo Qing said.
Shen Miao was stunned: "Enter the palace?"
Mo Qing nodded: "Yes, now there is chaos in the Ye Mansion, and the servants are scattered to escape, but there are people in the palace outside, and it is very chaotic inside." ”
Shen Miao muttered, "Why did you ...... so fast?"
It is a well-known thing that Emperor Yongle wants to deal with the Ye family, and she is not surprised, but now that Xie Jingxing is in Ruyang, Emperor Yongle's body is not good, Xie Jingxing gave an order when he was there, and he may have a more complete grasp, however, Shen Miao thought about it, Emperor Yongle's action was almost a bit thunderous, and even she felt fast, but I was afraid that it would be even more sudden for Ye Maocai. The Ye family is also a cunning rabbit, if the Ye family is given a chance to breathe, it is inevitable that Ye Maocai will take advantage of the loophole and escape in the future. Now in the name of entering the palace, Ye Maocai is first put under house arrest, and the thief is captured first, and the dragons in this Ye Mansion have no leader, so they are in chaos first, and when they want to clean up, they are captured.
She thought for a while and said, "You and Congyang and the three people in Tieyi will go to Ye Mansion immediately now, keep an eye on Ye Lin's sister and brother, if they make any moves, follow first, if they want to leave Longye, stop them, bring them back, life or death." ”
"Are the three of them staring at Sister Ye Lin?" Congyang jumped down from the tree and said, "It's too big and too useless." I heard that Mrs. Ye is also a not simple master, why don't I go and look at that Mrs. Ye?"
"Leave her alone. Shen Miao said: "Although she is smart, but in the end she is a woman, the news that I have inquired about these days is that Ye Maocai will not let Mrs. Ye interfere in his political affairs, and Mrs. Ye can't get in touch with Ye Maocai's power, so she can only exist as a smart woman." The emperor didn't let her enter the palace, and it was precisely because she realized this that she couldn't make any waves by herself. However, the Ye Ling sister and brother are very cunning, and they left the Ye Mansion so easily, they always felt that it would not be so simple, she would definitely make some plans, and this plan would benefit herself, this is what you need to pay attention to the most. ”
Congyang thought about it and felt that what she said made some sense, so he nodded. Tieyi has always only obeyed orders, let alone Mo Qing. When the three of them were about to leave, Shen Miao paused, suddenly stopped them, and said, "By the way, if you meet the young master of the Ye Mansion family with inconvenient legs, you don't have to hurt him, if someone wants to hurt him, remember to help him." ”
......
In the night, Yefu was in chaos at the moment.
No one thought that the royal family would suddenly send someone to "invite" Ye Maocai away, although the subordinates didn't know what was going on, but these days they faintly heard some rumors, and now when they asked Ye Maocai to leave, Ye Maocai's resistance confirmed the conjecture in their hearts. For a while, everyone packed up their clothes and jewelry and prepared to run away, those who felt that there was no hope of escaping and secretly wept in the house, and those who pretended to be nothing and hoped that it was just a misunderstanding and still did their own things to cover their ears and steal the bell, and the people in the house were panicked.
These subordinates are actually very well disciplined by Mrs. Ye on weekdays, but when it comes to life-threatening matters, unless they are saints, no one can handle them calmly.
In this chaos, Mrs. Ye was already beginning to clean up her gold and silver.
She had already seen Ye Maocai's plan, and she still had a trace of expectation for Ye Maocai, but Ye Maocai's escape plan did not have her from beginning to end. Husband and wife were originally birds in the same forest, and they flew separately when disaster came, Mrs. Ye can see it clearly now, Ye Mao didn't care about the friendship between husband and wife, and she didn't have this husband. The retreat arranged by Ye Maocai is now just cheaper for him, there is no way, who made Ye Maocai the biggest target in the eyes of Emperor Yongle?
She carefully searched for the silver tickets and jewelry that she could take with her in the house, and tried to pick up as light as possible, but she couldn't sit still.
Ye Lin and Ye Ke are the same at the moment.
Ye Ke paced back and forth in the room, his eyebrows were full of anxiety, and he asked Ye Ke from time to time: "Sister, do you say this is true? The Prime Minister's Mansion is really going to end? How is this possible? I didn't hear any wind before." Maybe the emperor invited his father into the palace just for some court affairs, not what we thought. ”
Ye Lin was packing up some silver tickets, she had begun to use those jewelry as silver in a planned way a few days ago, and exchanged them for silver tickets that could be used in all money houses in Daliang. These things are easy to carry and essential. She said: "Are you still deceiving yourself until now? If it is just to talk about the court, why did Ye Mao let the guards use the knife to try to escape when he was asked to leave, it is clear that he wants to abscond in fear of crime. ”
"But there was no sign at all before!" Ye Ke still refused to believe Ye Lin's words.
"It's just that you didn't pay attention. ”
Ye Ke's eyes widened, staring at Ye Lin in disbelief: "What do you mean, sister, did you already know? Since you already knew, why didn't you tell me?"
"I'm just guessing casually, it's more based on intuition, and there is no evidence, even if I tell you, are you willing to believe it?" Ye Lian sneered in his heart, but said mildly on his face: "Besides, I'll take care of these things myself." You are my younger brother after all, now that something has happened to the Ye family, we can't be tied up with it and sink together, we have to find a chance to escape. I'll take you with me. ”
Ye Ke's face was a little complicated, and he seemed to be very unwilling: "I thought that staying in Ye Mansion was the best choice, but I didn't expect that not only did I not even catch an official, but now I have to run away like a lost dog, thinking about it this way, it is better not to follow the Ye family when I was in Qinzhou." It's not as good as it was at the beginning. ”
"That's not necessarily," Ye Lin put away all the silver tickets, divided them into several fine collections, and then said: "You must keep your life first, and you don't have to wait here." Let's go to your house first and put away all your valuable things, which you will need when you escape. ”
Ye Ke moved his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything, and walked out of Ye Lin's house with his head shrugged in resignation, it seemed that he should have listened to Ye Lin's words and went back to the house to pack his things.
After Ye Lin saw him leave, there was no sound outside the house for a long time, so he stood up, his eyes flashed a trace of haze, he stopped for a moment, and then gently walked out of the room.
She walked towards Ye Maocai's study.
The door of Ye Maocai's study was closed, and Ye Ke and Mrs. Ye went in the study on weekdays, and Ye Maocai occasionally said something to them. However, Ye Maocai's temperament is cautious, and if he really wants to hide something, he will probably not be in a place like the study that is easy to be found. But the more dangerous the place, the safer it is, and Ye Maocai may also do the opposite, deliberately putting things in the study, which is surprising.
However, Ye Ke reminded Ye Kai before, she knew that Ye Maocai hung a picture of a beauty in the study, and the beauty picture seemed to be strange, and there was something important in it that Ye Maocai said, and now that Ye Maocai was taken away, Ye Ke had no hope of being promoted, so this thing could only be placed here.
Because the prime minister's mansion was full of panic at the moment, and there was no one outside the study, Ye Lin went in easily, and she quickly found the beauty picture. The picture of the beauty hung on the wall opposite Ye Maocai's desk, Ye Lin walked over, groped with both hands, but saw that the painting was very smooth, and there was nothing wrong.
How did Ye Ke find out?
Ye Lin didn't give up, and looked for it carefully, but he still didn't find anything. She was a little discouraged, suspecting that Ye Mao had replaced the things in the painting somewhere else. Ye Lin was angry with the beauty picture, and glanced at the beauty picture very dissatisfied, but saw that the beauty on the beauty picture was a little wrong.
The beauty in the picture stands under the peach tree holding a cup and smiles, her cheeks seem to be flushed, and she looks like she is too shy to drink. The eyes were very indifferent, not smiling, and shiny, giving people the illusion that the painting was lifelike, making people feel a little chill behind it.
Ye Lin's heart was stunned, and suddenly reached out to touch the eyes of the beauty in the painting, sure enough, the place where the fingers touched was a hard bulge, she pressed hard, but she only heard a "pop", on the wall, the piece where the beauty picture was hung suddenly recessed, she was excited, reached out and took out a box made of iron.
In that box should be what Ye Ke said: Ye Mao is a precious thing. After Ye Lin got the things, he didn't stay anymore, and turned around to go outside.
At this moment, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open with a "squeak", Ye Lin was stunned, and saw Ye Hongguang pushing a wheelchair in.
Seeing Ye Lin, Ye Hongguang was also stunned: "Big sister?"
Ye Hongguang is very worried today.
All the subordinates in the mansion are panicked and chaotic, he, the young master who is not good at doing things, has a low status in the mansion, and it is not too much for him to have Ye Maocai to protect him on weekdays, but as soon as Ye Maocai leaves, Mrs. Ye will not look at him at all, and those subordinates will not care about him at all. Not even a wheelchair for him.
Ye Hongguang was also very worried about Ye Maocai in his heart, but there was no one up and down the house to talk to him, so he could only push the wheelchair to Ye Maocai's study, as if there was still Ye Maocai's breath in this study, making him feel that he was still a young master of the Ye family with his father's protection.
Who knew that as soon as he entered the study, he would see the leaf lintel.
"Big sister, why are you here?" asked Ye Hongguang.
Ye Lin was still holding an iron box in his hand, and when he saw that it was Ye Hongguang who came in, he was relieved, and said with a smile: "Oh, my father asked me to come here to find some things for him before, and give them to him when he comes back from the palace." I saw that the people in this house were busy, so I came to look for it myself. ”
"What is it?" Ye Hongguang's gaze fell on the box in Ye Lin's arms: "Is it this box held by the big sister?"
Ye Lin smiled and said, "Exactly." Then he said: "Is the third brother also going to look for something?" Then I won't bother, this house is left to the third brother, and the third brother will look for it slowly." She was about to leave, and was about to step over Ye Hongguang's wheelchair, but Ye Hongguang suddenly said: "Big sister, don't you know, my father never lets women into his study?"
Ye Lin was stunned and stopped suddenly.
Ye Hongguang's eyes were very clear and innocent, but at this moment, they seemed to be very sharp. He said, "Big sister, why are you lying, why are you lying to me?"
"I didn't lie to you. Ye Ling settled down and said with a smile: "What I said is true, I don't believe it, when my father comes back, you can ask him again, and you will know whether what I said is true or false." ”
Ye Hongguang didn't hear Ye Lin's words, and continued to speak: "Is it because of this box in your arms? Is it because you want to steal the contents of this box? This box belongs to my father, although I don't know what it is, but since you came to steal things in this chaotic time, I think this thing is very important to my father, and it is also very precious." ”
Ye Lin was stunned.
This lame young master, who looks weak, has inherited some things from Ye Maocai, although he doesn't know about personnel, he is undoubtedly very smart.
The leaf lintel gradually clenched his palm.
"Put this box down, and I can act as if nothing happened. Ye Hongguang said.
"Third brother," Ye Lian tried to coax him: "This box was asked by my father to be taken by my father, and I really didn't steal it." ”
"Since you didn't steal it, and your father asked you to take it, then don't be in a hurry, and you can give it to him yourself when your father comes back. Ye Hongguang refused to back down at all.
Ye Lin saw that the time agreed with Jin Xingming was getting closer and closer, and he was anxious, and said, "What if I don't?"
"Why not?" Ye Hongguang frowned: "Could it really be that you stole it?"
Ye Lin's heart was a little annoyed, Ye Hongguang's thoughts were different from ordinary people, and she didn't even know how to coerce and lure the young man in front of her. said that he was smart, but he was stupid enough to think that he would give away what he had in his hands to others, saying that he was stupid, but he saw the uniqueness of this box at a glance, and he was still stopping her at such a critical time.
Seeing that Ye Lin was not moving, Ye Hongguang's good temper gradually put away, and he said solemnly: "If the eldest sister insists on refusing, I can only call my mother over and let my mother stop you." ”
Mrs. Ye?
Although Mrs. Ye is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Emperor Yongle, she is just a somewhat smart woman, but in this Prime Minister's Mansion, she is the head of all the subordinates, and all the subordinates have to listen to Mrs. Ye's command. And although Mrs. Ye thinks she is her daughter, she is even more on Ye Maocai's side, if Mrs. Ye knows, I am afraid that this box will not be able to be saved.
"No!" Ye Lin blurted out.
"Then put down the box. ”
Ye Lin said: "Third brother, you listen to me..." ”
"Someone!" Ye Hongguang suddenly shouted, so frightened that Ye Lian immediately covered his mouth. Ye Hongguang began to struggle, but he couldn't walk, and he couldn't use his strength weakly, so he was completely restrained by Ye Lin, Ye Lin covered his mouth, but his eyes fell on the big scissors shining silver in the paper basket not far away.
Her eyes flashed, and she had a plan in her heart, no longer hesitated, grabbed the scissors, and without frowning, she stabbed Ye Hongguang viciously in the chest!
Ye Hongguang was pressed by her mouth and nose, and was stabbed with scissors by Ye Lin, kicked his legs a few times, and stared at Ye Lin, as if he didn't expect that there would be such a vicious woman in the world. But he didn't have the strength to yell anymore, just laboriously made a "heh" sound from his throat.
Ye Lin glanced at him coldly, and said coldly: "I didn't want to put you to death, but you talked too much." He turned around and walked away.
Ye Hongguang fell to the ground on his back, the wheelchair overturned, the whole person was lying on the ground, and gradually the blood wet the ground, he struggled to crawl to the door to call someone, but how easy is this to say? The door that was close at hand seemed to be an endless road at the moment, and it was desperate.
The Tieyi had just arrived in Ye's mansion, but they didn't see Ye Lin's whereabouts, and they thought that Ye Lin's escape in a short period of time, but when they found out to the study, they were startled, Ye Hongguang fell in a pool of blood and was dying, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
Cong Yang asked, "What's going on?"
Mo Qing came out of another room and said, "Sister and brother Ye are going to escape from the house, Brother Tie Yi is doing a good job, you will follow." ”
Iron Cloak said yes, jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the night.
Mo Qing was also startled when his eyes fell on Ye Hongguang on the ground, and said, "What's the matter?"
"I don't know?" Congyang scratched his head, squatted beside Ye Hongguang and probed his snort, and said, "There is still a breath, but I don't know if I can save him." ”
"It looks like someone has calculated it. Mo Qing said: "Hurry up and bring people over." ”
"Come on. Congyang clapped his hands: "The people in this mansion are now too busy to take care of themselves, where is the time to take care of this young master, the fluffy phoenix is not as good as a chicken?" And the ladies in this mansion don't like him very much, it's too late to see him clap his hands like this, how can he ask for a doctor." ”
"Then bring it back. Mo Qing walked up to Ye Hongguang and picked him up, Ye Hongguang's body was weak, and it was effortless to wrap it up. Mo Qing said: "Madame looks at this kid differently, if we don't save him when we die, it's not good, and if Madame is there, we will make such a choice." Take him back to find Mr. Gao first. If you can't save it, it's up to him to die. ”
Congyang shrugged: "Listen to you." ”
I heard the young man suddenly open his eyes and squeeze out a few words with great difficulty.
"Frieze...... Steal...... Stuff.... Run ......"
"What does he mean by that?" Congyang wondered.
Ye Hongguang tilted his head again, and he couldn't wake up anymore.
"I don't understand, hurry up and go, wait for the next person to come. Mo Qing said, the two of them didn't dare to delay, they didn't stay here for a long time, and left quickly.
Shen Miao was sitting in the room waiting for news, Emperor Yongle's actions came so fast, he even had to advance with many things, planning was one thing, and it was another thing to see if the plan could succeed.
However, the Tie Yi has been gone for so long, which makes her heart sink too, thinking that it must be Ye Lin's escape.
was thinking about it, but he was surprised and said happily: "Come back, come back, they are back!"
Shen Miao stood up, only to hear Gu Yu's surprised voice outside the door: "What's going on?"
"Ask Dr. Gao to come over. This is Mo Qing's voice.
Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, Mo Qing and Congyang walked in, Mo Qing was still holding someone, went to the house, put the person on the couch, Shen Miao looked at it, but he was stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Ye Hongguang!"
When the subordinates went there, they found him lying in the study, as if he had been assassinated, and the assassin must have been from the house. The Ye Lin sisters and brothers were about to escape, but Tie Yi was already following them, leaving a signal all the way, and his subordinates would rush over immediately. I have already ordered someone to invite Gao Gongzi. Mo Qing explained.
"Who in the Ye Mansion has a deep hatred for a child?" Shen Miao saw that Ye Hongguang's face was similar to Fu Ming's nine points like this, and she was very sad in her heart, and she was a little angry: "I will poison a child next time." ”
"Maybe it was Ye Lin's dry?" Congyang said.
Shen Miao frowned: "What do you mean by this?"
"The boy woke up once, said a few words, and ran away. Mo Qing said: "The subordinates guessed, what she might want to say is that Ye Lin stole something and ran away, maybe he was bumped into by Ye Hongguang when he stole something, so he killed people." ”
"But what exactly is it that you stole it?" Congyang said: "Gold, silver and jewelry? ”
"Not true. Shen Miao said suddenly.
The two were stunned for a moment, and asked together: "What's wrong." ”
"No, that's not right. A thought suddenly flashed in Shen Miao's heart, and she didn't have time to think about it, she immediately said, "Congyang, you immediately follow the signal left by Tie Yi to find it now." Seeing that if Li Li wants to leave Longye, whether it is a dry road or a water road, don't stop her, but delay their time, let them slow down, and slow down. ”
"Don't stop them?" Congyang was stunned.
"Yes, no. Shen Miao said. She looked at Ye Hongguang on the couch again, replaced Gu Yu with Startling Gu Yu, and asked Gao Yang to cooperate with him immediately after coming over.
Finally, she said to Mo Qing: "Mo Qing, come with me to the study." ”
Although everyone was inexplicable, but when they saw her solemn expression, they didn't dare to refute it, so they followed her.
Shen Miao's eyes were as cold as a knife.
Mrs. Frieze steals something and runs?
What to steal and where to run?
Shen Miao almost knew her plan, so she came to give her a ride.
