Chapter 524: The Imperial Daughter's Good Means
Su Chengcheng was not surprised by the boss's escape, she never doubted the ability of Wu Ya and Fu Yi, she didn't have to do anything, just stand in place and wait.
"Boss, I haven't finished talking about what you're running for?" Seeing the boss running back, Su Chengcheng asked.
The boss was flanked on the left and right sides, and there was a murderous man behind the woman in front of him, and he could only resign himself to his fate: "This guest, it's too unfortunate that you came, and there are no more voice changing pills." ā
"Where did your pills come from?" Su Chengcheng went straight to the point.
The boss frowned, and said as if he were dead: "In the black market, betraying others is a capital crime, if I say that I don't have to mix it up in the future, the girl will kill me!" ā
Su Chengcheng didn't expect him to react so violently, but judging by this person's attitude towards them, he should just be a pawn who doesn't know anything.
"Then I'll change the question," Su Qingcheng said after thinking about it, "Three days ago, a man with a scar on his face came to you and bought a bottle of voice-changing medicine, where did his bottle come from. ā
The boss is embarrassed, there seems to be no difference between the two questions......
"Girl, I won't betray ......" He was halfway through his words when Ye Yutai's sword was held against his neck.
Beads of sweat the size of beans broke out of his forehead.
Although he has seen everyone in a place like the black market, he rarely sees a man as magnificently as Ye Yutai.
"The black market has the rules of the black market, and you threaten me like this and I will be found out by the steward, and I will definitely not be able to get out of this street." The boss's voice trembled.
His heart was about to skip a beat, the sword had touched his skin, and the slightest stroke would cause a river of blood to flow.
Su Chengcheng was a little surprised, there was still a protection of one side of the force in the downtown street after this time?
"Let me tell you the truth, the medicine was sold to murder the princess, we were ordered to investigate the matter, if you refuse to say it, then we will have to tie you up and hand you back." Su Qingcheng spread his hands and said helplessly.
When the boss heard this, his complexion changed, and this matter actually involved the princess!
Murder of the Princess...... Even if it was to kill him, the Nine Clans would probably not be enough.
"IāI say!" "That day, a masked woman sold me the pill and asked me to sell it to the first person who came to inquire. ā
"Women?" Su Qingcheng was slightly surprised.
"Well, although she was masked and didn't speak, but I was also a person who had been in the black market, and it rained that day and night, and it was not difficult to tell from the sound of footsteps and the strength of her walking that she was a woman." The boss affirmed.
"Do you remember what the woman's characteristics were?" Su Qingcheng asked.
The boss tried to remember, but he didn't think of anything, took out a note and said: "She used a note to communicate with me, is this a feature?" ā
Su Tingcheng took it, this paper is the most common rice paper in Diqiu, and the font is also regular, with no personal characteristics, even the pen and ink are all pine smoke ink that ordinary people can afford.
It seems that this man is also a thoughtful person.
In this way, the clue is broken again.
I thought that if I found the person who sold the medicine, I would be able to find something, but now it seems that there is no progress.
No matter how much he coerced and lured the boss, he didn't know anything, so they had to go back to the palace first.
Several days passed, and Su Chengcheng sent several waves of people to the black market again, but they couldn't find any clues.
However, there are fewer and fewer rumors about the imperial daughter in Diqiu, and Su Chengcheng also knows that the four major families are operating behind it.
Su Chengcheng was dealing with political affairs in the study, and Wu Ya came in.
"General Xiao invited the imperial daughter to the general's mansion for tea." Wu Ya Dao.
Su Chengcheng put down the ink pen in his hand, a little puzzled, the princess and the Praetorian Guards are not all the way, how could Xiao Guoliang invite her?
"Is the prince here?" She said.
Wu Ya shook her head and said, "I heard that Huo Mei said that he went to the city. ā
Xiao Guoliang recognized Ye Tangtai that day, and Su Chengcheng always felt that there should be something between them, but Ye Tangtai didn't know anything.
Maybe Xiao Guoliang invited her for Ye Yutai's business.
"Let's go."
Su Chengcheng took Wu Ya and Yulan to the General's Mansion.
She thought that Xiao Guoliang was holding a tea party, but looking at the empty street in front of the General's Mansion, she realized that it was only for her to be invited.
Yulan hesitated: "It is rumored that the Xiao family is dissatisfied with the four major families, will it be dangerous for the royal daughter to go alone?" ā
Her fears were not unfounded.
The court of Beiyuan can be said to be divided into two factions openly and secretly, the four major family factions centered on the imperial daughter, they are in charge of the six departments, which is the general trend.
There is also the Praetorian Guard centered on Xiao Guoliang, and the Praetorian Guard accounts for almost seventy percent of the strength of Beiyuan.
The four major families have always been worried that if Xiao Guoliang rebels, Beiyuan will be in chaos, and several times they have written to ask the Praetorian Guards to be under the four families.
But the empress has never been perverted.
Su Chengcheng gradually lifted some political affairs, and he also had some understanding of these things.
"It's okay, he wouldn't be stupid enough to do it to me in plain sight." Su Tingcheng said lightly.
The guard at the gate had obviously been instructed, and when he saw Su Chengcheng, he directly opened the gate and led her to the courtyard.
Xiao Guoliang was under the pavilion, and when he saw her coming, he stopped making tea in his hand, clasped his hands in front of his chest and bowed: "See the princess." ā
"General Xiao is polite, I don't know what tea was prepared today?" Su Qingcheng smiled and sat down generously.
"That's naturally the best to match the princess," Xiao Guoliang also sat down and continued his tea-making action, "It takes five years to get a pound of Jiuqu red plum." ā
Su Tingcheng was shocked, this is Nanye's famous tea.
Xiao Guoliang specially invited himself to taste tea, sent all the maids and guards away, and made Nanye tea, what did he want to do......
"Yes, I also loved this tea when I was in Nanye, and the aftertaste is endless." Su Chengcheng Road.
Xiao Guoliang was very surprised: "Was the princess in Nanye before?" This is the first time the old minister has heard of it. ā
What kind of medicine is sold in this Xiao Guoliang gourd?
Su Qingcheng was confused, it was no secret that she grew up in Nanye, almost all the ministers knew, was he pretending to be stupid or did he really not know?
"Yes, I became a relative to the King of Yunan when I was in Nanye, General Xiao of the King of Yunan should have seen it, right? Didn't you recognize him the other day? Su Qingcheng thought about it, and he definitely couldn't compare with this old fox who was dozens of years older than her.
Therefore, it is better to speak clearly, lest you fall into his trap and not know which of them.
It's not that she didn't suspect that the person behind this incident was Xiao Guoliang.
After all, the four major families and the Xiao family have always been at odds with each other, and it is reasonable that he does not welcome himself back, and it may have been intentional for him to bring the Praetorian Guards here that day.
Xiao Guoliang handed a cup of tea to Su Tingcheng and said, "The princess is really a good means. ā
