Chapter 157: Pretending to be a Pig and Eating a Tiger?
Xiao Chi and Jiang Yuzhu suddenly visited, but Shen felt strange and wary from the beginning.
Xue Nuo deliberately mentioned Ning Jingshui just now, and his face was not inferior, which was completely different from the shape she had revealed in the past few days, although she was occasionally stubborn, she would not take the initiative to mention the affairs of the mansion in front of outsiders, and he almost immediately reacted that something was wrong, and followed her words.
At this time, hearing her say that the two of them were suspicious, Shen frowned and said: "When my grandfather sent someone to Jiangnan to investigate your identity earlier, Shi An was by his side, and you did a clean job in Yanling, and even we couldn't find out about it, how could they be suspicious?" ”
When Xue Nuo heard this, he knew that Shen had misunderstood: "I'm talking about the household department." ”
Shen looked up at her.
Xue Nuo pulled the pillow and sat up, and said slowly: "I'm not worried about Yanling, it's not so easy to check what happened before after the flood, Daddy Xue also made preparations earlier, even if someone suspects my identity, they can't find anything, but the Meng family's ......."
She laughed suddenly, "Childe remember what I told you yesterday?" ”
Shen Ke's heart moved, and suddenly remembered what Xue Nuo said when the two chatted last night, she said that there was another push for the affairs of the household department, in addition to the crown prince, the third prince and the fourth prince, there were other people in the court who were muddying the waters, and said that after Meng Dehui's accident, he might be able to catch the man's tail.
He suddenly spoke: "You mean Xiao Chi?" ”
"He didn't have that mind." Xue Nuo said, "Jing Anbo is a reckless man, I think that Dingyuan Marquis is quite interesting." ”
"I thought it was strange when I found that Peng family before, although this capital is big, and there is never a shortage of eyeliner from all sides, but the Peng family is doing such a mysterious business, even if there is the Chengguo Mansion and the three princes to cover it, no one should find out, not to mention that the household is fat and everyone is red."
"It is impossible for the Yanling flood to sell grain at a high price without leaving traces, Meng Dehui has raised an outer room for several years and even has a son, even if it is hidden, no one should notice it, unless it is ......"
"Unless someone knows about it early, and in addition to the Chengguo Mansion, there are people next to him to cover it up!"
Shen Ke's mind spun fast, and Xue Nuo reacted directly to him almost as soon as he mentioned it.
Xue Nuo raised his eyes lazily, looking at Shen Ke's face as if he had opened a dye shop, frowning for a while and shocking for a while.
She couldn't help but laugh and said: "This is really interesting in Beijing, the princes are constantly fighting, the courtiers are intriguing, and now even a sick seedling is involved." ”
"Childe, is that Jiang Shizi really not going to live to be twenty-five? He shouldn't pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger? ”
Shen never expected that the Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion would be involved, he said in a deep voice: "The Marquis of Dingyuan started as a military general, and was one of the most relied on people around the first emperor. ”
"Jiang Yuzhu was born with a heart disease, I have seen him fall ill before, and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has been looking for famous doctors to diagnose and treat him for many years, and even the imperial doctor in the palace will go to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion every few days, and everyone asserts that he will not live to stand for a long time, and this matter will never be faked."
He remembered that Jiang Yuzhu was frightened when he was a child, and he had an illness in the palace once, and he even lost his breathing at that time.
Mrs. Dingyuan Hou was sad and cried blood, Dingyuan Hou almost raised a sword to kill in the palace, and then I didn't know what happened, Jiang Yuzhu was accidentally rescued, but his breath was weak, and then he was raised in the palace for two full months because he couldn't move, and many people knew about it.
Shen couldn't help frowning when he thought of the situation in the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion: "The Marquis of Dingyuan has not been in court for several years, and Jiang Yuzhu has never taken the exam because of his health, and even all parts of Beijing rarely move. ”
"If they really want to get involved in the court struggle, they shouldn't be so desireless and wantless."
To put it mildly, no matter who they are with, if they want to make a fortune from the dragon, they must have the corresponding "capital", but the Marquis of Dingyuan handed over the military power early, and the Marquis of Dingyuan Mansion only has the only son of Jiang Yuzhu, a sick man, and he is not close to the various factions in the DPRK and China.
It's a marquis, it's not good, the Marquis of Dingyuan now has no soldiers and no rights, only a false title, even if you want to go to which, I'm afraid not many people value it.
Xue Nuo listened to Shen Ke's words, and his fingers subconsciously picked the embroidery thread on the pillow thoughtfully.
She knew about the Marquis of Dingyuan, she had also seen him kill people with a sword in the palace back then, that was not a person who would do anything for power, and Jiang Yuzhu's situation should not be mixed with royal affairs.
But if it weren't for the sake of the court, what would they be tempting for today?
Shen saw her rare silence and asked, "Who do you think Jiang Yuzhu and Xiao Chi are?" ”
Xue Nuo pursed his lips: "Anyway, it's not the crown prince and the third prince." ”
If it was biased towards the prince, when Cui Le transferred troops, Xiao Chi just went north from Yanling, and when he sensed that something was wrong, he could detour to Chengzhou to Qizhen to relieve the siege for them, so why not let Shen be so dangerous, and almost let Xu Lizhen succeed.
If the heart is towards the three princes, Xiao Chi above the court will not fall into the ground, and after the Meng Dehui incident, the Peng family's line will be cut off immediately, and they will not be found all the way to the household embezzlement.
As for the four princes......
Xue Nuo frowned, she selfishly felt that they didn't look like the people of the Four Princes.
The affairs of the Hu family and the four princes suffered a big loss, just like the prince's side.
If they defected to the Four Princes, after noticing that Cui Le had something wrong with Cao Yun, with Xiao Chi's strength at that time, he could intervene sideways, and the affairs of the Hu family would not be so big as the back, and even let Zhan Changdong get cheap.
She and Shen might have died in Hu's house that night.
Shen frowned when he heard Xue Nuo's words: "You also told your grandfather before that Xu Lizhen was afraid that he had already recognized his master, and then he had the opportunity to bully, Xiao Chi would they be with Xu Lizhen......
"No!"
Xue Nuo almost blurted out.
Shen looked at her.
Xue Nuo said: "Xu Lizhen has a grudge against the prince, he has been biting the Shen family to the death, he suffered a big loss in the previous Cao Yun, and he will hate you to the bone, if they have the same purpose as Xu Lizhen, it will not be us and Bai Jinyuan who will be injured on the racecourse, but the prince." ”
"Ten thousand steps back, even if he doesn't dare to rashly let people take advantage of the chaos to attack and kill the prince, but just those assassins belong to the same person as the person who intercepted Lang Ke, it is enough for him to do a lot of things."
If she were Xu Lizhen, she would have become mortal enemies with the East Palace, knowing that an assassin had infiltrated the racecourse.
Either simply take the prince's life, or let those assassins do something in the racecourse, and then seize the handle afterwards to blame the prince for the remnants of Yongzhao to collude with the traitors, and if you are lucky, you can also pull down a Shen and Shen family.
