"Oh?" He Lingjiang put down the hosta in his hand and sat up straight, "Let's hear it." ”

Qiong Zhi cleared her throat and went through the matter.

This oil seller walked the streets and alleys all day long, and came into contact with a lot of people, Qiong Zhi stared at people for a while, but he didn't notice anything wrong.

When she was depressed, she found that this person was secretly going to the brothel in Pingkangfang in the east of the city.

It is not a strange thing for a man like him in the prime of life to go to a brothel.

However, this brothel, known as Lanyin Pavilion, was located in Pingkang Fang, and most of the people who came and went were dignitaries, and it was not something that he, a poor oil seller, could patronize.

Qiong Zhi was suspicious in his heart, so he asked someone to focus on checking, only to find out that this person turned out to be a good friend, and he was a servant in the back kitchen of this Lanyin Pavilion.

is just a servant, and although this oil seller is a little poor, his face is not bad, and the two seem to be reasonable.

Qiong Zhi thought that this time was in vain, and thought that he would simply make a test, if there was no result, he would give up and check in another direction.

She pretended to be a rich man who was looking for fun, and she pretended to be drunk and hit the oil seller who had just come out of the back door of the brothel, and knocked him on his back at once.

In the midst of the chaos, a letter fell into the oil seller's arms.

He seemed to attach great importance to the letter, and his face suddenly became nervous, and he immediately took the thing into his arms, and did not even care that the rich man wanted to pay him money, and hurried away.

It's greasy! Qiong Zhi affirmed in his heart.

Sure enough, two days later, I saw the oil seller arrive at the corner gate of Hefu again, met with the maidservant girl in the courtyard, and handed her a letter.

I don't know what the letter says, but since then, the maid has been completely settled, and there is no more movement.

"Seven Ladies, there must be something wrong with the brothel servants who met the oil sellers, right?"

He Lingjiang's eyes narrowed slightly: "It's not that simple. ”

She bent her index finger slightly and tapped lightly on the table: "However, although it is this kitchen servant who shows up, she may not be the only one who has the problem." ”

Qiong Zhi nodded: "The maid thought so before. In this brothel, there may be people next to you who also have problems. Perhaps, this servant and maid is really a human hand planted by them, or maybe this servant and maid is just a pretense to secretly deliver news for others.

"In this way, in this brothel, the bustard, the steward, the turtle slave, or the prostitute may have a problem with the maidservants around them......

He Lingjiang bowed her head slightly, and her voice was slightly low: "Perhaps, it is not only these individuals who have a problem, but the entire brothel......

Just like the shrine, in order to find out the news, they opened a bookstore and a gambling house, and it seems that it is not strange if they open another brothel.

"Have you ever explored, who is the owner behind this Lanyin Pavilion?" He Lingjiang asked.

Qiong Zhi nodded, and there was a little caution in his tone: "It's the Zhao family in the middle book." That place was very tightly hidden, and the servant also made several detours to find out. ”

The Zhao family?

Duanwang's mother, Concubine Zhao Xian's maiden family?

It is not surprising that the powerful of the family have their own livelihood.

But the opening of a brothel has always been shameful for the Qingliu family.

The Zhao family can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, and the head of the family is in an important position in the middle of the book, so he actually has a private brothel in Yingdu?

If this matter is known to the Imperial Historical Observatory, I am afraid that it will lead to impeachment, and having that Chinese book will give it a headache.

However, since he has been safe and sound, he has his own means. I can't say, even if there are imperial historians, they just turn a blind eye.

Throughout the ages, those who use women whose fate is not autonomous to open brothels have only asked for two things.

One is for money, and the other is for news.

Money is easy to find, and for the Zhao family, who has now jumped from a humble family to a prestigious family, it is not something that cannot be obtained.

The key is the network behind this.

The brothel is a place of three religions and nine streams, and the Lanyin Pavilion in this Pingkang Fang is more of a high-ranking official.

As the identity of the Zhao family, the private purchase of this Lanyin Pavilion is for the sake of network information, on the one hand, it is conducive to his actions in the court officialdom, and on the other hand, I am afraid it is still for the virtuous concubine and the king of the palace in the palace, right?

Although the crown prince has been in power for many years, after the private affair in Linchuan, his position as the crown prince is crumbling.

On the eldest princess's birthday, the emperor let out the prince who had been imprisoned in the East Palace for many months, and the prince was bent on seeking the emperor's favor again, but the lost sacred heart was not so easy to earn.

However, King Duan has always acted in a good way, and has always been praised by the emperor.

With such a formidable opponent on his side, it's not like staring at the crown prince under his ass.

Although King Duan is not from the main palace, isn't today's saint also as the prince and concubine, and ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan?

He Lingjiang had met King Duan once before at the eldest princess's birthday banquet, he was four years older than the crown prince, and his speech and demeanor were mature and steady.

Compared with the prince with a bit of elegance, he has more power and compellingness, and his eyes also reveal a bit of depth.

He Lingjiang has traveled with his master since he was a child, and he boasts of reading countless people.

Such a person is undoubtedly ambitious.

If the previous prince's position was still stable, after Linchuan privately picked eucalyptus, Duanwang's heart would not be ready to move?

Even if he had already made a move, he had already made a move.

He Lingjiang has always been suspicious, the spy in her courtyard is placed by the Divine Palace, but now it is inexplicably involved in the Zhao family.

This spy was planted by their family before they arrived in Yingdu. So, did the Zhao family and Duanwang set their sights on her before entering Yingdu?

But there are so many powerful people in Yingdu, and the He family, who has been away for many years, has returned here, and their power in it is not very prominent.

Although He Lingjiang made some achievements in Linchuan and Yaozhou, he was praised by everyone, and because of this, he was rewarded by the emperor, and even ordered her to enter the department.

But at that time, all her deeds were only passed on to the public.

In the eyes of the world, no matter how powerful she is, she is only the seventh lady of the He family, and she has to obey the orders of the head of the He family. In the He family, He Xiangshan is the master.

At that time, she had not yet arrived in Yingdu, if the people in the court wanted to stare at the He family, they would only focus on He Xiangshan, the head of the family, how could they focus on her alone?

This spy, she has observed, from martial arts to temperament, is not to be underestimated, but it is not something that can be found casually.

Placing such a person by her side, the people behind it obviously felt that compared to He Xiangshan, her movements needed to be closely watched by them.

I can't wait to keep an eye on her and get rid of her, He Lingjiang also thought of one-the divine palace that she had broken her plans and punished the sect members many times.

This Zhao family, could it be that there is another collusion with the Divine Palace?
