Chapter 151: Conspiracy
"But no matter how good this Penglai County is, there is only one after all, and it is a small county seat, and the royal family will not let the governance of Penglai County be used in the capital, which will be detrimental to their entire royal family."
The old man also nodded along with Wei Yuqing's words.
"Indeed, if this is really the case, I am afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty will no longer exist!"
After saying this, the two fell silent at the same time.
"However, you came to us today, it shouldn't be a whim, is there any way to talk to us?"
After being silent for a long time, the old man suddenly asked Wei Yuqing.
Wei Yuqing nodded again and again.
"Yes, two days later, a poetry conference will be held in the mansion of Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and in addition to Xu Zilin and the major courtiers, even Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi should also go."
The old man nodded slightly.
"We've heard a little about this before, but none of us know about it, so naturally we don't plan to rely on it."
Wei Yuqing chuckled lightly.
"Isn't this just right, the opportunity has come, and I am here to send you news, this is simply a godsend!"
Wei Yuqing's face was full of excitement, but the old man was obviously much calmer than her.
"You can indeed be regarded as a part of our plan, but now we only know the people who are going, this is not enough, at least we don't know much about the venue, if we don't know the structure of the Song Mansion, then all the plans cannot be implemented."
The old man slowly opened his mouth and said to Wei Yuqing, his fingers also resting on the table beside him, tapping rhythmically.
Wei Yuqing lowered her head slightly, and the old man just looked at her.
"You sit down and talk, it's tiring to stand all the time."
After a long time, the old man spoke to Wei Yuqing.
Wei Yuqing nodded, and she sat on the stool next to her without even looking at it.
"It's better like this, anyway, two days later, I'll find a way to let Xu Zilin and them take me there in these two days, as long as I can know the general structure, it can help our plan, right?"
Wei Yuqing looked up at the old man with bright eyes.
Looking at Wei Yuqing, who was so excited, the old man couldn't really say anything to hit her.
He could only nod at Wei Yuqing.
"This method is feasible, but you must also pay attention to your own safety, and you must not reveal your identity, otherwise I am afraid that you and I will die, and Xu Zilin will also be affected!"
The old man said to Wei Yuqing with a sigh.
Wei Yuqing only sneered twice before continuing to speak.
"That Xu Zilin is not as magical as the rumors, so good, he is just an ordinary man, although I admit that he is different from many courtiers, but after all, he is also helping Zhu Di, what kind of weak person can be a person who is in the company of wolves."
The old man sighed, he didn't know much about Xu Zilin, and he didn't have anything to say about Wei Yuqing's tiger.
It's just that he still opened his mouth to advise Wei Yuqing.
"No matter what you say about this matter, it is a grievance between us people and Zhu Di, no matter what the identity of this county order is, and no matter what he helped Zhu Di, the previous Jingkang difficulty, after all, was not initiated by him, nor did he intervene, we must also recognize the person who took revenge, and we must not act blindly!"
Listening to the old man's words, Wei Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in response.
The old man is the leader of all the orphans in Jingjing, Wei Yuqing knows this, so it is impossible for her to open her mouth to refute the old man on the first day she met him.
"Since your business is over, then you should leave first, by the way, do you want to take a look at the items in my store, if there is anything you like, take it away, otherwise you will come to the ghost market for nothing, and someone will suspect you."
The old man saw that Wei Yuqing responded to his words, and then he said to Wei Yuqing with some joy.
Wei Yuqing raised her head and glanced around the antiques in the room, and after turning her head to look at it for a long time, she still shook her head and refused the old man's kindness.
"I won't take these things, but I do have something to do when I come to the ghost market."
As he spoke, Wei Yuqing took out a letter from his arms and put it in front of the old man.
"This is Jin Chun's letter, sent someone to bring it to Xu Zilin, in order to let him go to the poetry conference of the Song Mansion, as far as I know, it is because those courtiers and officials are not used to Xu Zilin, so everyone wants to give Xu Zilin a dismount and destroy his prestige!"
A hint of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes.
He sat up straight and raised his hand to reach for the letter that had been placed on the table.
After opening it and looking at it carefully, the old man put down the letter in his hand and turned his head to look at Wei Yuqing.
"So what is the purpose of you coming to the ghost market with this letter?"
"Xu Zilin, what they mean is that they can sell this letter, because they wanted to confront the palace before, so it was a little late, but now that Jin Chun and their matter has turned the page, they naturally don't need this letter."
The old man nodded slightly, and then he threw the letter aside.
Wei Yuqing hurriedly spoke.
"Although this letter is useless, they mean to sell it, not to throw it away."
Listening to Wei Yuqing's anxious words, the old man chuckled lightly in an instant.
"Do you think that this letter of gold and pure can be sold for how many silver taels? It's useless to sell it, and the people in the capital are not fools, so how could anyone spend a lot of money to buy this useless letter? ”
The old man said, with a flick of his wrist, he closed the folding fan in his hand, and then slowly stood up with the table on the side.
"That jar, take it back, just say that this letter was exchanged, if they want it, just keep it for yourself if you don't want it, it's not too early, you better go back early, lest some people will be suspicious."
The old man said, gesturing to a jar on the shelf in front of him.
Seeing that Wei Yuqing followed the direction of his finger and looked over, he shook his head and turned his head to the other side.
"Is there any difference between that jar and the jar next to it, and why should I go back with this jar instead of anything else?"
Wei Yuqing opened her mouth with some doubts, but she didn't hear the old man's response.
When she turned her head, she realized that the old man had left at some point.
Only the proof that the recliner in front of Wei Yuqing was still shaky was left, and the old man had just left.
Wei Yuqing sat in place and was stunned for a while, then she slowly got up, she picked up the jar that the old man said, and went out.
Most of the stalls outside the door have been reduced, maybe everything has been sold, and they have all left this ghost market.
