Chapter 67: Voicebreaker
Roll the green building, the east wind is warm, and the poplar flowers are fluttering in the sunny day. The blue coat fades to the incense, the Luo tent is red, and the embroidered pillow is swirled and shifted.
Although it was the first time for Zhu Qizhen to come to Qinglou, he was not in a hurry, sitting on the side and looking at the woman in front of him with a smile.
With fair skin and a good complexion, although it is not as captivating as Queen Qian, it has a unique charm.
Especially a pair of charming eyes, with affection, a smile, seductive.
"Childe looks a little raw, doesn't he come often?"
"Girl's eyesight!"
Zhu Qizhen smiled and said: "I am a person from Taiyuan Mansion, and I have studied for a few years, but I found that I am not the material for reading, as long as I inherit the family business and come out to do some business." ”
"Oh?" Miss Gu Xi poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and said quietly, "What kind of business does the son's family have?" ”
Zhu Qizhen took the teacup and drank it all, and said, "Open a warehouse, take the goods!" ”
Gu Xi poured another cup of tea and said, "In these years, the war is in chaos, and the business is not good, right?" ”
"You don't know about that!" Zhu Qizhen pretended to smile mysteriously and said, "The more wars there are, the more prosperous the business will be!" ”
Gu Xi raised his hand and combed the hair that was scattered on his sideburns, and said softly: "Don't talk about this, the slave family will sing a song to the son, I don't know what song the son wants to hear?" ”
"Whatever the girl sings, listen to it below!"
Gu Xiwan smiled, his eyes were tender like water, and he picked up the pipa and played.
After listening to a few small songs one after another, seeing that it was not early, Zhu Qizhen stood up and said, "I made an appointment to talk about business next night, and I will talk to the girl tomorrow about Fengyue." ”
Miss Gu Xi got up and gave a blessing salute, and said, "The slave family is waiting for the son!" ”
Coming out of Tingyu Pavilion, Yuan Bin asked, "Your Majesty, what have you discovered?" ”
"There's something wrong with that woman!"
"How did the emperor find out?"
"The smell of fat powder on her body is very unique, at least it means that she has been to the scene of the crime!"
"Your Majesty!" Yuan Bin suddenly became nervous and whispered, "We have tails behind us!" ”
Zhu Qizhen said quietly: "Let him follow, let's find a place to eat first!" ”
Fan Zhong was puzzled: "Your Majesty, it's not early, it's time to go back to the palace!" ”
"I can't go back yet, I'll talk about it after eating!"
The three of them walked around and returned to Dingxiang Building, Zhu Qizhen remembered that the donkey meat here was good, so he walked in.
Familiar with the road to the private room on the second floor, Yuan Bin slowly walked to the window and glanced down.
"Your Majesty, it's the one in gray clothes who followed us all the way from Tingyu Pavilion."
"He didn't come up?"
"Waited at the door for a while and left."
"Follow him, there's a big fish behind him!"
"Yes!"
Yuan Bin turned around and went downstairs, and Fan Zhong asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, since that woman has a problem, why don't you let Jinyiwei take people directly?" ”
"It's not that simple!" Zhu Qizhen took a sip of the tea bowl and said thoughtfully, "I have a feeling that there must be some unknown organization hidden behind this person, if we act rashly, it is likely that we will startle the snakes, and I will kill them all!" ”
Fan Zhong scratched his head and said, "It's just a theft case of murder for money, isn't it that complicated?" ”
"Do you think, dare to kill people and sell goods in the capital, and you can hide such a large batch of goods overnight, and there will be no fewer people involved. Moreover, I still don't understand why they chose these two people. ”
"Probably...... What's the grudge? ”
"Do you remember what those two said when they were eating here yesterday?"
Fan Zhong nodded and said, "Listening to what they mean, it seems that they are doing business with the Mongols?" ”
At this time, Yuan Bin hurriedly returned and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have all been arranged, and there will be results tomorrow." ”
Zhu Qizhen suddenly asked: "Is there a possibility that they are specifically staring at this kind of profiteer, because the business behind these people is not visible, even if something happens, they dare not make a noise...... By the way, did the warehouse station report the crime? ”
Yuan Bin thought for a while and said, "It doesn't seem to be!" ”
"Check!" Zhu Qizhen seemed to have discovered something, "Check the person behind that store, there is definitely a problem!" ”
Yuan Bin nodded and said, "Weichen understands!" ”
At this time, the voice of the shop guy came from the staircase: "Donkey meat with five-spice sauce, braised donkey sausage, stir-fried donkey waist flower, donkey whip wolfberry soup, guest officer, your dishes are complete, please use it slowly!" ”
After setting the dishes, the guy turned and went downstairs.
Zhu Qizhen looked at Yuan Bin, then at Fan Zhong, and asked, "Who ordered the dishes?" ”
The two looked at each other and tried to think, who ordered the dish just now?
Yuan Bin looked at the dishes on the table and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this dish?" ”
Zhu Qizhen picked up a piece of waist flower and put it in his mouth, and said while chewing: "It's a waist flower and whip soup, who do you look down on?" ”
Yuan Bin: ......
Fan Zhong: ......
After returning to the palace, Zhu Qizhen thought about it, and always felt that this matter was not trivial, such a clean and neat modus operandi must have hidden an extremely tight organization behind it.
"Wynne!"
Wynn was making tea, and hurriedly replied, "The slave is here!" ”
"Declare the command of the voice guard to make Yang Zhicong enter the palace!"
Huai'en's expression was awe-inspiring, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has always been an extremely secret organization, which is a little more mysterious than Jinyiwei.
This is a mysterious team of deaf and mute, the Voiceguards!
Unlike the Jinyi Guards, the Absolute Voices Guards did not have a separate yamen and special official uniforms, but were scattered all over the people, connected by their unique internal communication methods. Its conductor has the right to deliver the secret music directly to the Emperor, and as long as the music is stamped with the seal of the Absolute Voice, no one except the Emperor himself has the right to open it.
Therefore, except for a very small number of people in the know, the others did not know about the existence of such a team at all.
It was getting late, but the noon gate was still not closed, and Fan Zhong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, was personally guarding the door.
In the night, Wynne hurried in with a young man in his twenties.
Fan Zhong took a look, this person was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, he looked no different from ordinary people, if he was placed on the street, no one would take a second look. Unbeknownst to everyone, this person is the fourth commander of the Absolute Voiceguard.
Yang Zhicong made a gesture, Fan Zhong nodded, and led the two into the palace.
Due to the extremely secretive existence of the Voiceguard, in order to prevent leakage of information, these people do not deserve waist cards, and only communicate by gestures.
The light in the imperial study was lit, and Zhu Qizhen had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Majesty, the people have arrived!"
After Fan Zhong finished speaking, he took the initiative to retreat and close the door.
Huai En knew that the emperor must have a secret intention to summon the Absolute Voiceguard, so he also obediently waited outside.
It's just that his heart is itching, as a close attendant of the emperor's side, he doesn't know anything except serving tea and pouring water every day.
Now the celebrant has changed blood, Wang Zhen and his henchmen have all been eliminated, Jin Ying is getting older and older, and he has the honor to serve in front of the emperor, which can be described as an unlimited future, but watching the emperor work every day, he doesn't know anything, should he take the initiative to do something to help the emperor share some of the burden.
Thinking of this, he cautiously looked at Fan Zhong beside him and asked, "General Fan, the emperor has been ...... past few days?"
"Huh?" Fan Zhong glared at him and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" ”
"Yes, yes......"
