Things get complicated.

This Guo Huai actually has something to do with the Five Princes, and his framing shop actually undertook a lot of framing work for the Five Princes' calligraphy and paintings.

The quality of a calligraphy and painting is important, but if the framing technology is not up to standard, it will not only affect its beauty, but also shorten its lifespan.

If the calligraphy and painting are framed and passed, anti-corrosion, moisture-proof and insect-proof, they can be preserved for a long time.

On the contrary, if the craftsmanship is too poor, it may decay in a few decades, and then a peerless painting may be completely destroyed.

The painting of the fifth prince is tens of thousands of taels of silver, so naturally the best framing process must be used, this Guo Huai can undertake this work, and his technology must be top-notch.

The fifth prince has no grudge against Ye Liuli, even if there is, it is the previous generation or his generation, in terms of generation, he is Ye Liuli's uncle.

Is it necessary for him to do such a thing to frame Ye Liuli?

What about motivation?

"Master, is there any special grudge between the fifth prince and the former prince?" Luo Xing asked, he didn't know what happened twenty years ago, and many secrets would not have any written records, and it was impossible to find them in the secret files.

"I haven't heard of it, the fifth prince has been like this since he was a child, and I've never heard that he has a grudge with anyone, it's just fun, but he is actually a few years older than the former prince, and the specific relationship between them, this teacher is not clear." Meng Yi said, he was half a waste at that time, no one would pay attention to such a small person as him, how could he know the secrets of so many upper-class people?

Luo Xing's brows were furrowed, and he seemed to have difficulty making decisions.

"Xiao Qi, are you still going to investigate?"

"Guo Huai is Guo Huai, the fifth prince is the fifth prince, Guo Huai's crime has nothing to do with the five princes, and checking Guo Huai is not the same as investigating the five princes." Luo Xing said, "Check, of course you have to check." ”

"You can grasp it yourself, if you need Master's help, just mention it." "However, you have one more person to ask him for help, and he knows a lot more than he can be a teacher." ”

"Ye Hou!"

"Yes, he is your father-in-law, if you go to beg him, he will definitely not refute your face." Meng Yi nodded.

"Well, I only went there yesterday, but I didn't expect such a situation, so the disciple will go again today." Luo Xing nodded.

……

In the Marquis of Wuning's mansion, as soon as Ye Hong heard that Luo Xing was asking to see him, he hurriedly instructed his subordinates to invite him to his study and let people serve fragrant tea.

Luo Xing's title is also a marquis, although it is much lower than his title Hou, but there are infinite possibilities in the future, he has the identity of a royal family, in fact, he has already been out of the five suits with His Majesty today, if he is not talented, cultivated to a first-class grandmaster, and is in charge of Nanya, how can he have today's status and honor.

If there are no outstanding talents in future generations, they have to take precautions, and Ye Hongyi carefully cultivated Qingyi, the purpose of which is also for the future of his branch.

It's not that he didn't want to kiss and kiss, but Qingyi didn't like it, his son was too mediocre, and none of them could be worthy.

Even if this marriage is completed, it is only a formality.

What's more, with Qingyi's character, if he persecuts too much, he is afraid that in the end, the master and apprentice will turn their faces, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Now, let Qingyi be grateful, but she will remember this master-apprentice friendship, and she will take care of his family in the future.

"Five Princes......" Ye Hongyi heard Luo Xing mention the Five Princes one by one, and his face immediately became extremely solemn.

"Father-in-law?"

"Although the fifth prince is an idle prince, but his influence in the court and the opposition is not small, he is the sister-in-law of Emperor Longqing, and Emperor Jiayou is not a son-in-law, he is just the eldest son, but Emperor Longqing practiced and went mad, collapsed early, the fifth prince is young, the courtiers and the palace support Emperor Jiayou to succeed to the throne, this is why there is Jiayou Dynasty, the fifth prince is three years older than the previous prince, and the two of them can be said to have grown up together......" Ye Hongyi said eloquently, as a child of the royal family, he naturally knows more about the situation here in more detail than outsiders.

"So, if it weren't for the early collapse of Emperor Longqing, it would be hard to say who would be the emperor?" Luo Xing understood, in general, the imperial dynasty has the rule of establishing a successor or not a long-term heir, the emperor has many sons, and even when the prince is the prince, there are not a few sons who have no formal marriage, but they are all concubines, and only the queen's son is a concubine.

The eldest son is the eldest son, and the prince is generally the eldest son, unless there is a problem with the eldest son, then it may be the turn of the other sons.

Emperor Jiayou is the eldest son, but not the son-in-law, he is just lucky, his father died early, and the eldest son is too young, so he picked up an emperor.

This Jiayou Emperor became the emperor, so naturally it was impossible to pass on the throne to his brother, it must be a son, so these five princes can only be idle and rich princes.

And he can't leave Beijing yet, he can only stay in the capital, such a master, if he is released, no matter who the person sitting on the dragon chair is, he will not be at ease.

There are still some princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are even those who are higher than the five princes, and these people are relatively able to live, so they are still alive.

But these princes are not all in the capital, some are in fiefdoms, and most of them are also rich and idle kings, in addition to their status, they are actually rich people.

In terms of influence, they are not as good as these five princes, after all, this lord is almost the crown prince, and then the emperor's person.

This is wrong, and in the end, he was forced to be a rich and idle king, and the imperial power and hegemony are gone.

"These five princes grew up with the former prince and studied together, and the relationship was naturally very good, but because of one person, the two ended up turning against each other."

"Women?" Luo Xingdao said that only women can make two men who have grown up together since childhood and are like brothers have the opposite purpose.

"That's right, it's the former crown princess Chu Ran, both of them like Chu Ran at the same time, but Chu Ran prefers the frank and gentle prince."

"No wonder, the fifth prince is not interested in beauty, it turns out that he has someone in his heart." Luo Xing said, it is strange that an idle prince, who is not very old, has money and leisure, does not even have normal physiological needs.

"Not many people know about this, you just need to know it, just don't spread it." Ye Hongyi admonished.

"I understand." Luo Xing nodded, "Father-in-law, what is the level of calligraphy and painting of these five princes?" ”

"How do you ask that?" Ye Hongyi frowned and asked.

"Green Willow Monk, you know, right?" Luo Xing said, "I found out that this Green Willow Monk has been a gunman for the Fifth Prince all along. ”

"What is a gunslinger?"

"What the gunman means is that some of the paintings of the Five Princes may be made by this Green Willow Layman, and the person is not painted by him." Luo Xing explained, "The fifth prince used the green willow monk to paint him, created his character as a master in the painting world, and then auctioned calligraphy and paintings to obtain a large amount of wealth, and where did he use the money, as far as I know, the life of the fifth prince is not luxurious, and the annual consumption is only about four or five hundred thousand taels of silver, but his annual income is at least ten times that of this." ”

"Xiao Qi, you can't talk nonsense, once it gets out, I don't know how many people will lose their heads." Ye Hongyi was startled, and his back bones were cold.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely not say these words." Luo Xing, of course, understands the risks involved.

"Xiao Qi, you can investigate this case, but don't touch the fifth prince, understand?" Ye Hongyi admonished.

"I see, father."

Luo Xing came out of Yehou's mansion, but a shadow was cast on his heart, if the person behind the assassination of the fourth prince of Xirong was the fifth prince, then what was his purpose?

What is the organization in Guo Huai and Yu Xiuning's mouth? That Guo Huai is a person from Jingzhou, and from the geographical division, he is a native of Southern Chu, and it is more likely that he was a spy in Southern Chu.

……

After going home for dinner in the evening, after treating Zinu as usual, the mark on Zinu's face was almost the size of a copper coin, and where the mark disappeared, the skin gradually returned to its normal color, and the beauty embryo was gradually revealed.

This child is mainly malnourished, and now that the nutrition has come up, it has changed almost every other day, and I really don't know what will become when the "mark" on her face disappears.

It's just that her speech hasn't fully recovered, and the damage to her vocal cords can't be recovered in a day or two, but she's still young and can always recover.

She has lived in the mountains and forests since she was a child, and she knows a lot of cordyceps, and when Luo Xing taught Xue Qingqing and Xue Shangxiang, he also taught her to recognize words and identify medicinal materials.

Zinu is very smart, he can learn it as soon as he learns, and he also has the ability to never forget, Luo Xing called himself a treasure.

On weekdays, when he was not at home, he asked Zi Nu to follow Xue Shangxiang to learn medical skills from the basics, and almost trained her as an apprentice.

As for Xue Qingqing intentionally or unintentionally creating opportunities for him and Xue Shangxiang, he is not a fool, how can he not understand this Aunt Xue's hard work.

The problem is that he hasn't thought about this problem, Xue Shangxiang is the master's daughter after all, his junior sister, he already has a wife and a concubine now, how can he get Long Wangshu, not to mention, he can't be too selfish and confine Xue Shangxiang in his own backyard.

She has even higher achievements in the future.

Therefore, Luo Xing also avoided being alone with Xue Shangxiang as much as possible, thinking to herself, and when she naturally understood that this was just a kind of blind worship, not a real love between men and women.

But it seems that this is also a little unfair, so it is better to find an opportunity to make it clear.

Above the gums.

"What's wrong with you today, a little overwhelmed?" After lingering, Qingyi wrapped up like an octopus.

The sensitivity of the woman, she noticed that Luo Xing's interest was not high tonight, and she seemed to have a trace of unknown thoughts.

"It's nothing, it's still a case." Luo Xingqiang smiled, "Sleep, I will continue to go to the yamen on duty tomorrow." ”

"When I was shopping today, Aunt Xue intentionally or unintentionally mentioned to me the future of Sister Shang Xiang, although Medicine King Valley has not yet announced the death of Sister Shang Xiang, but it is obvious that she intends to give up the search, which should be regarded as a tacit acquiescence."

"What does Aunt Xue think?"

"Change your name and identity for Sister Shangxiang?" Qingyi said, "Find a suitable identity to stay in the Hou Mansion." ”

"It's easy to change your name, but it's not easy to do with this identity."

"Sister Shangxiang is Uncle Meng's daughter and your junior sister, so it's okay for her to stay in the Hou Mansion as your junior sister."

"It's not good, Medicine King Gu is also a first-class sect, let's do this, it's hitting Medicine King Gu's face, this will stimulate the sensitive nerves of the other party, even if we are not afraid, it will be a headache to deal with these troubles." Luo Xing said, "I think it's better to get an official Nanya identity for Senior Sister Shangxiang." ”

"You mean, let Sister Shang Xiang appear by your side with a secret camp background?" In the end, they are still husband and wife, and they have a good heart.

"Yes, create another mask for Sister Shangxiang, cover one-third of her face, join Nanya, and serve as a medical officer in the medical department." Luo Xing Road.

"Medical order, what kind of official is this?"

"I invented it, I want to carry out an institutional reform in Nanya, gather the doctors in Nanya from the scattered departments, and set up a new department, called the medical department, and in the future, all medical-related affairs will be handed over to the medical department to avoid idle and waste of resources."

"Can the Governor agree?" Qingyi was surprised.

"Let's try it, I still want to summon Aunt Xue to Nanya and serve as the chief doctor." Luo Xing said.

"Well, this is a good thing, but I'm afraid that there is a lot of resistance, Commander Yao is easy to say, and Commander Pei and Sima are afraid that they will not agree."

"It doesn't matter if Sima Lun doesn't agree, the General Staff Department is just hanging under Nanya, as long as Jing'an and the Intelligence Department agree." Luo Xing said, "I'm talking about work again, don't talk about it, go to sleep." ”

"I see what Aunt Xue means, I want to entrust Sister Shangxiang to you......"

"Don't promise anything for me, Shang Xiang is my junior sister, she is still young, she has her own way to go in the future, I can't be too selfish."

"So, you still like Sister Shangxiang?" Qing Yi smiled slyly, as if she had caught the hidden meaning in the man's words.

"Yes, I like Senior Sister Shangxiang, but not the kind of love between men and women." Luo Xing said angrily, if he really liked it, he would not deliberately refuse, such as Qingfan, he also knew that Qingyi would leave her in the room, and she would definitely be his person in the future, so he did not refuse.

But Xue Shangxiang, not only because she is still young, but also because she is the daughter of Master Meng Yi, how much of a beast does he have to attack her?

Besides, there are more beautiful women in this world, and when he sees one, he has to pull one to the house, so what kind of person has he become?

For three days, Luo Xing didn't move Yu Xiuning, just to see if he could dig out any useful information from this woman, he was very interested in the organization behind them, after all, he had been engaged in this work since the previous life.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, it was probably unbearable to be lonely, so Yu Xiuning put on makeup again and came to Guo Huai.

After getting Yang Yingchun's report, Luo Xing naturally came to the cheap shop for the first time, and at this time, the three of them found a restaurant nearby, asked for some wine and food, and while eating, they monitored the situation in the courtyard of No. 138.
