Chapter 5 Double Scheme

In the palace of the Southern Jin Dynasty, a group of courtiers knelt on the ground and listened to the wrath of Tianwei. The Northern Expedition was completely defeated, and the emperor's anger was sprinkled on the main general Yu Bing.

"Cut off the title, demote it to the history of Chaozhou Thorn, and move the whole family!"

Yu Bing knelt very low and thanked him heavily: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

When Emperor Jin Ming calmed down and saw Huan Wen kneeling below, he said warmly: "Huan Aiqing, get up." ”

"Huan Aiqing is brave and mighty, and he is the master of rent reform, which has solved the urgent need of the imperial court, I promise you a position, what do you want?"

Huan Xin bowed: "The minister is Your Majesty, and it is the duty of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and it is determined by Your Majesty to be favored by Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Sima Qu of the Jin Ming Dynasty laughed loudly and said: "Let you be a hussar general, how about leading the middle secretary?" ”

Huan Xin's body bowed lower: "Your Majesty Xie raises love." ”

Out of the Taiji Palace, Huan Xin met an acquaintance, Sima Yongan.

The two old enemies looked at each other, and the undercurrent surged, and then calmed down.

"Plea for sin."

Sima Yongan knelt down when he saw Emperor Jin Ming, and Sima Qu said lightly: "You are guilty." ”

Yu Bing is Sima Yongan's beloved apprentice, this Northern Expedition Huan Xin did not agree, it was the king of Huiji who strongly recommended Yu Bing, but only Huan Xin's team won a complete victory, and the rest were defeated.

Sima Yongan raised his head slightly, and saw Emperor Jin Ming thoughtfully, looking out of the hall.

"Your Majesty is worried about General Huan?"

Emperor Jin Ming was a little displeased, but he still hummed softly: "I just promised him the position of hussar general, but this person is too ambitious......"

"The minister has a plan."

It wasn't until night that the two finished talking.

Wei Qing was probably really frightened, and before Zhu Ming's banquet, he sent someone to send a complete set of gold-inlaid jade jewelry and new clothes to the Erwei Courtyard.

Feiyun hair bun, golden goose hairpin, double butterfly flower shirt and lily phoenix tail Luo skirt, Wei Shuyao boarded the carriage prepared for her by Wei Qing alone and went out.

Entering the Princess's Mansion, the group was led to the position on the west side of the third order.

After sitting down, Yang Fu, who had an ugly face, complained to Wei Qing: "The head of this princess's mansion is too low-eyed, and the dignified Guogong Mansion is actually sitting with the six-rank petty officials who are not in the capital.

Wei Shuyao sat behind the two of them, looking slightly sideways at the sign next to them.

Secretary Lang is indeed a petty official with no real power, but this position has always been held by the clan, and Wei Shuyao doesn't want to pull himself into it because of Yang Fu's nonsense.

"Mother, be careful!"

After a soft cry, the hot ash in the incense burner was sprinkled on Yang Fu's skirt, Yang Fu turned around and looked at Wei Shuyao who was cowardly bowing his head angrily, his arm was raised, and Wei Qing pinched his wrist.

Yang Fu snorted lightly, and said hatefully: "It's really frustrating, I'll clean you up when I go back." ”

With that, she hurriedly got up and went to change her clothes.

Just now, Wei Shuyao caught a glimpse of Huan Xin from a distance and went to the cabinet behind the Water Pavilion, Yang Fu was gone, and it was more convenient for her to find him.

Lowered his head and quietly twisted his nose, Wei Shuyao raised his eyes to look at Wei Qing, his pupils were bloodshot, and the tip of his nose was red, so pitiful.

"Aya, my lower abdomen is not good, I ......"

"Go, hurry up." Wei Qing waved his hand impatiently, Wei Shuyao got up softly, and walked away with vain steps.

Huan Xin walked to the east of the water pavilion and saw Wei Shuyao's thin figure.

She sat in the pavilion, the lilies on her skirt moved in the wind, and the grenade red lipstick adorned her cold face like a white lotus and red stamen.

A goose-egg face was getting thinner, with a sharp chin resting on the railing, and a misty gaze.

Huan Xin coughed lowly, and the little lady's eyes instantly widened and she got up to look at him, and her pupils lit up for a moment, flashing with joy.

The corners of his mouth also tugged, and he walked up to Wei Shuyao.

The little lady saluted, rolled her eyes a few times, bowed and said, "My lord, can I take a step to speak?" ”

Huan Xin found a secluded place according to her, and saw Wei Shuyao take out two things from his sleeve pocket and said, "The little woman brought the physical evidence that the adult wanted." ”

Huan Xin glanced at the things in Wei Shuyao's hand, his eyebrows and eyes were a little colder, and his tone was also heavy: "Just two pieces of cloth?" ”

Wei Shuyao had a keen mind and hurriedly explained: "These two pieces of cloth are the clothes and fabrics of the merchants who come and go from the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and they are all produced by the Yang family. ”

Huan Xin squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and he said, "A new one, an old one, and then what?" ”

"These two pieces of cloth, one is from last month and the other is from this month, adults take a closer look at the gold silk embroidery in these two pieces of cloth."

The dark lines of the old Brie gold silk have pink and purple fine flashes, which are beautiful, but the new cloth is ordinary.

"This pink and purple gold is the foundation of the Yang family's cloth, but it is only produced in the Qianzhou gold mine, the new Jiangzhou Thorn Shi is a native of Qianzhou, and he was the chief secretary of Yazhou, Yazhou's Jinji Pass is the only pass from Qianzhou to Jiangzhou, adults think, this evidence can be regarded as powerful?"

The two were very close, the little lady said seriously, the fragrance on her body rushed to her nose, and the soft hair flew to his face, Huan Xin's eyes darkened, and he retreated slightly.

If she was looking for refuge from others today, would she be so tactful and soft-spoken?

An inexplicable anger surged in Huan Xin's heart, and the tone of his speech became a little stiffer.

"You've been careful and careful for a long time."

Wei Shuyao blinked, looked at him for some reason, and explained: "I saw someone from Jiangzhou coming to the mansion, so I paid more attention." ”

After speaking, she heard the man speak: "I have a sister who is a princess, and the sixth day of the next month is her birthday banquet, and you will receive an invitation at that time." ”

This was in response to her previous request.

The little lady was not so calm in the end, she thanked her with joy and happiness, and left briskly.

Huan Xin looked at her slender back and suddenly smiled.

Although Jian Ye is big, who can be more suitable to fight against Xungui than himself? Wei Niangzi is very smart, no matter what, she will only choose herself.

When the hour came, the feast began

Princess Zhaokang is nearly fifty years old and still beautiful, Huan Xin sitting on the main seat is magnificent, handsome and extraordinary, and there is a small county lord to accompany her, delicate and moving.

At the banquet, there was a staggered mix of ideas, words and smiles.

Wei Shuyao sat in the back seat obediently, barely moving her chopsticks, only when Huan Xin's eyes stayed here, Wei Qing immediately took the initiative to eat for her and handed her pastries.

Who would have thought that Huan Xin's eyes swept to this side too many times, and after coming and going, Wei Shuyao actually ate a little bit.

After Princess Zhaokang and several family members exchanged pleasantries, Wei Shuyao took advantage of Huan Xin's eyes to sweep over again, and asked Wei Qing to quietly leave the table to eat.

Halfway through, she bumped into a servant.

The visitor said in a low voice: "Lady is well, your mother was injured in the east wing and called you to come and serve." ”

Yang Fu did leave the table, but Wei Shuyao still looked at the maid in front of him suspiciously, and the maid explained in a low voice: "It's all the female relatives who are inconvenient for Wei Guogong to go." As she spoke, she handed Wei Shuyao a jade pendant.

The jade pendant is indeed Yang Fu's personal belongings, and there is also the family crest of the Guogong Mansion, Wei Shuyao didn't want to arouse suspicion, so he followed the maid.

To the east, the door to the main chamber was tightly closed, but a strange murmur came from the room.

Wei Shuyao knocked on the door a few times and no one answered, there was silence all around, and she turned around to find that the maid was missing.

Fear rose in her heart, Wei Shuyao wanted to leave, but the moment she raised her feet, her knees suddenly weakened, and she couldn't walk half of the way.

"Save ......," she whispered, but the only sound in her ears was the wind.

In the next moment, the door opened, and a strong wind whistled, enveloping Wei Shuyao tightly with an unfamiliar aura, and the other party's body was burning and hot.

There was a "bang" and the door was locked.

Wei Shuyao's eyes widened, and the man stretched out his hand and grabbed her neck, and she couldn't make any sound.

"How are you?"

The man's voice was hoarse and no longer clear.

It was Huan Xin.
