Volume 2: One Look at the Alluring City, and then Look at the Alluring Country Chapter 173: They Never See It That Way
It's just that Shen Jiayi is also entangled, looking at this situation, Shen Mushu is afraid that he is really going to stand in Zhao Yixuan. If Emperor An does not agree with Yi Chu, Zhao Yixuan wants to seize power, and Shen Mushu is on his side, what should Shen Jiayi do.
He thought about telling Yu Yi about this, but for some reason, he swallowed back every time the words came to his mouth.
As soon as the Shen family retracted their minds, everything was still inconclusive, and it could not be determined so early. In just a few breaths, Zhao Changge's gentle breathing began again.
"Hey, don't sleep." Shen Jiayi stepped forward and shook Zhao Changge awake.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't get up, but simply closed his eyes and spoke after trying to open his eyes and failed: "What are you doing?" β
The Shen family hurriedly said: "You tell me where your sister is first, whether she is in the palace or not." "The Shen family is not stupid, the emperor is afraid that he will not really tell himself Zhao Ke'er's whereabouts if he is addicted.
Zhao Changge smacked his lips and found a comfortable position: "I don't know, she won't be in the palace when I leave the palace." β
Hearing this, the Shen family looked depressed. Zhao Changge continued: "The training uniform of the ink scale guard in her hall is gone. β
"Thank you, Ye Gongzi!"
A sound of the door closing, Shen Jiayi's voice faded away, Zhao Changge snorted, and finally quieted down.
β¦β¦
The blue bricks and black tiles, the willows hang down, like a solemn Buddha is located here, a good household Shangshu Mansion.
Yu Yi stroked the horse's mane and watched the door of the mansion slowly open. An old man with a hunched back walked quickly in front of Yu Yi and respectfully stretched his sleeves and saluted: "His Royal Highness Linwang." β
"Lord Shangshu can be in the mansion?" Yu also asked.
The old steward said, "Return to the king, in the palace." β
After finishing speaking, a young man ran out of the mansion, took Yu Yi's horse and left, and Yu Yi followed the old steward into Shangshu Mansion.
It's also surprising, as a third-grade official, he can be regarded as the leader of a hundred officials. The other five Shangshu don't mention whether there are silver taels in the money bag, and they all look honest and honest on the outside. But Yan Jingshan, the head of the household, is not like that, there are countless maids and maids in the house, and the stone bricks in the house are all good stones, and the production process is fine, and you can know that it is worth a lot at a glance.
The old housekeeper took Yu Yi to the study and went up to report first.
"Song guards, come down to visit His Royal Highness."
Song Jin, who was originally standing at the door of the study with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep, slowly opened his eyes, his eyes fell on Yu Yi, and he waved his hand at the old housekeeper. The old steward was also used to it, so he just bowed lightly and retreated.
Looking at Song Jin's eyes, the comer was not good. Before Yu moved, the true qi in his body had already begun to operate. Song Jin's figure moved first, jumped up, and drew his long sword in mid-air to stab at Yu Yi.
This one seems to be sharp, but it does not contain any internal force and true qi. Yu Yi's eyes closed, dexterously dodged sideways, and a raised fist followed. Song Jin was startled and used his inertia to lower his waist to dodge. Because of this dodge, Song Jin's flaws were wide open, and Yu Yi held Song Jin's right hand holding the sword with one hand and exerted his force violently, spun it around and threw it out.
The long sword in his hand came out of his hand, and Song Jin barely managed to stabilize his body and land, and took a few steps back before standing again.
Song Jin was not convinced, and wanted to come again, but was stopped by a low shout in the study: "Song Jin, don't be rude." β
Song Jin's eyes widened angrily, and he snorted coldly and retreated to the side.
The door slowly opened, and Yan Jingshan walked out. Compared with the exquisite and gorgeous mansion, this Lord Shangshu himself is wearing a gray wide-sleeved robe, which is much more low-key.
Yan Jingshan first glared at Song Jin on the side, and then greeted Yu Yi with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King, there is a disappointment." β
"It doesn't matter." Yu Yi smiled back and replied softly.
Yan Jingshan stood still in front of Yu Yi: "My guard is a good martial artist, I want to learn from people when I see them, and I hope that King Lin will forgive me." β
Yu Yi glanced at Song Jin, who was still angry, and said, "Good skills." β
Yan Jingshan was stunned when he heard this, and after reacting that this was a joke by King Lin to ease the atmosphere, he smiled awkwardly: "His Royal Highness King Lin came today for the fake silver ticket?" β
"Exactly, fake silver is rampant in the capital, and it may be a big disaster in the long run." Yu Yidao.
"Your Royal Highness, go in and speak." Yan Jingshan made a gesture of please.
The two sat down, and Song Jin no longer guarded the door, I don't know if it was because he felt uncomfortable, he walked far away, and sat on the big stone in the garden and pretended to sleep.
In the study, Yan Jingshan took out two silver tickets, one true and one false, and put them in front of Yu Yi.
People who practice martial arts, especially Xiang Yuyi, who has far surpassed a first-grade martial artist, is in the four realms of 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang'. Their hearing and eyesight are also unimaginable to ordinary people, and even so, it is difficult for Yu to distinguish the difference between the two silver tickets.
At this time, Yan Jingshan spoke: "In my country, the paper used for silver tickets is parchment paper, and the channels of this kind of paper are in the palace, and ordinary people cannot access it. But Your Highness, look..."Yan Jingshan picked up the fake silver ticket, "This silver ticket is also made of vellum paper. β
Yu Yi did not rush to express his opinion, but let Yan Jingshan finish speaking.
"In addition, Your Highness, you see that what is printed on this silver ticket is the 'Qingyang word' made by His Majesty when he founded the country, you don't know, in order to distinguish the true from the fake, there are still a few typos in it. Coupled with the dragon and phoenix dance diagram above, these are all miniature carving techniques, and the masters of Quan Qingyangneng's micro-carving craft are all in the palace. β
"Then, for large silver tickets, some of the seals contain gold dust, which is extremely counterfeit. So ......"
"So, there is actually no profit margin for fake silver tickets." Yu Yi took over the conversation.
Yan Jingshan nodded heavily when he heard this.
Yu Yi lowered his eyes and pondered, according to Yan Jingshan, there are three hard conditions that must be met in order to counterfeit silver tickets. The first is to have a hard and skilled miniature carving process, the second is to clearly know the mistakes in the 'Qingyang words', and the third is to have a channel to obtain the leather paper.
The world is so big, there are countless strange people, and there are no masters of miniature carving who are left behind. It's just that this large amount of silver tickets belongs to the head of the Ministry of Industry, and the mistake of 'Qingyang words' is only known to the Ministry of Industry.
The clues are already there, so start with the Ministry of Industry.
Yu Yi's eyes moved slightly, maybe it could be a two-pronged approach. He raised his eyes to look at Yan Jingshan and asked, "Where is the source of the channel of the parchment paper?" β
"Imperial merchants, Lingzhou Duan family." Yan Jingshan got up and rummaged through the bookshelves behind him for a while, then took out a token and handed it to Yu Yi, "Lingzhou pacification envoy ......"
Yu Yi suddenly raised his hand, interrupting Yan Jingshan's words, and he pointed out the window again, signaling that someone was there. Yan Jingshan raised his eyes and bowed slightly, wrote a sentence on the paper and handed it to Yu Yi along with the token.
"Lord Yan, this king still has official business, so don't bother it first." Yu also got up and said.
The dark shadow outside the window also flashed away when he heard this. After being completely safe, Yu Yi didn't stay long, got up and left the study. It happened that Song Jin was also holding the sword on the way back to the study, and the two walked towards the door of the mansion together.
After repeatedly confirming that there was no one around, Song Jin held his sword and looked straight ahead and said, "His Royal Highness King Lin, I saved your brother's life, and you don't thank me?" β
Yu Yi didn't look at him either, and the two of them pretended to walk forward as if nothing happened.
"Aren't you the one who let him fall overboard?"
Song Jin trembled the corners of his mouth: "His Royal Highness King Lin shouldn't be a person who holds grudges." β
"Of course not." Yu Yi chuckled.
"Liu Wenzhong is like a giant tree, and his disciples are all over the provinces and ministries. If he falls, the Qingyang court will be in chaos, so there must be evidence that he can't turn over. Song Jin stopped and looked at the back in front of him with a heavy face.
Yu Yi also stopped: "Naturally." After a pause, he continued, "It's a difficult road, so be careful." β
Song Jin raised his feet and continued to walk forward, and the sword in his hand was also held in his hand in a proper manner: "It's just a duty." β
On that day, Fuhe County, Jiangzhou was flooded. As soon as the Shen family blew up the boulder, when life and death were at stake, it was Song Jin in the shadows who shot a small pebble that caused the Shen family to fall into the water.
Naturally, in that hunting house, the person the Shen family saw when they woke up was also Song Jin.
After Yu Yi returned to the capital, he secretly checked Yan Jingshan, and since he became an official, he has been mediocre, and he has been accompanied by a reading boy, but the examiner in the spring of that year was also Liu Wenzhong. It wasn't until he entered the palace that day that he thoroughly understood this Yan Jingshan from Emperor An's mouth. He has always been Shen Mushu's protΓ©gΓ©, but after he entered the office, he has been hiding by Liu Wenzhong's side until now. Yu Yi's appearance forced Liu Wenzhong to be unavailable for a while, so he was promoted to the position of the head of the household department.
And Song Jin has never been a third-rate kung fu teenager.
Yu Yi looked at the back in the distance, and his heart was sour. Compared to Yu Yi's own confrontation with those filthy people in the open, these meticulous works hidden around those people are the real danger. In order to ensure the safety of their families, they were unable to see each other, and even exchanged letters with a pitiful amount. Moreover, if they can't finish the mission, they will have to bear the infamy.
"His Royal Highness King Linwang still wants to eat in my Shangshu Mansion?" Song Jin, who had already walked away, turned around and frowned and shouted.
Yu Yi retracted his thoughts and quickly followed.
β¦β¦
"Brother Shen, why did you come to the camp at this hour?"
In the camp of the Ink Scale Guard, the soldiers of the camp smiled and showed a row of white teeth and moved away from the horse in front of the door.
Shen Jiayi had a clear goal, and went straight to the point and asked, "Princess Wenya can be in the army?" β
The soldier bowed his head: "Yes, we should be ready to eat at this hour." β
The Shen family didn't hesitate, and after thanking him, he rode into the barracks. As the soldier said, Zhao Keer was wearing a training uniform and sitting on the battlefield with a rice bowl and plate to eat at the beautiful sunset. I don't know if it's because I'm tired from training, she eats quickly, and her mouth is bulging like a squirrel hoarding food.
Looking at such a down-to-earth Princess Qingyang, Shen Jiayi couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth. He didn't bother, and after tying the reins of the horse, he leaned aside and watched quietly.
Until she finished eating, she took a big sip of water and swallowed the food in her mouth? The Shen family said loudly with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the princess, but you are full?" β
The sudden appearance of the Shen family startled her, and Zhao Keer quickly packed herself up, pretending that nothing had happened and getting up to leave.
