Chapter 50: Silent Night
Zhao Yushan nodded and said softly, "They have already started construction." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt's just that there are too many people to see during the day, so I can't do it. Can only be scheduled in the evening. ”
Chu Jinglian gently stroked the folding fan with his right hand and sighed softly: "This is also a matter of no way." By the way, is there any movement in the Seongnam Golden Mansion?"
Zhao Yushan said: "According to the report, Cheng Haoran has returned to Yangzhou. This time, he went out to hear that he was going to investigate Liu Jingxuan's life experience, and I don't know what he found out?"
Chu Jinglian nodded and smiled slightly: "This Liu Jingxuan is talented, and he became the prefect of Yangzhou at a young age, which is indeed extraordinary." It's just that no matter what he says, he is only a four-rank top, and for some reason he has aroused the interest of the Jin Mansion? The owner of the Jin Mansion doesn't know what the hell is going on? ”
Zhao Yushan looked serious and couldn't laugh: "According to our informant, there are carrier pigeons shuttling back and forth every day in the Jinfu in the south of the city. I guess they're from the government. The owner inside has hardly ever left the gate of the Golden Mansion since the last time he visited Jingxian Academy. No one knows where they came from. After being in Yangzhou for a long time, I am afraid that it will become a big trouble for us. Do you need me to spy on them?"
Chu Jinglian turned around and glanced at Zhao Yushan: "Murong Jielie, as the most powerful first-class guard around Kangxi, has already come to Yangzhou, who else will come to Yangzhou? Let's not alarm him for the time being, lest there be any complications. How did you find out the whereabouts of Lu Wushuang and Qiu Yintao?"
Zhao Yushan poured a cup of tea, handed it to Chu Jinglian, and said slowly: "According to the news from the flying pigeon, someone found that Lu Wushuang and Qiu Yintao had arrived in Taiyuan Mansion. ”
Chu Jinglian was stunned for a moment, and said, "What did they do when they left Chen Qiaoxin and went to Taiyuan?"
Zhao Yushan shook his head slowly: "I don't know about this. ”
Chu Jinglian gently stroked the fan surface of the folding fan with his right hand, and said lightly: "Since you have found it, send someone to follow it secretly, don't lose it." ”
Zhao Yushan smiled and replied, "Okay." ”
Chu Jinglian wanted to say something more, but he didn't say it after all. In the end, Chu Jinglian turned around and quietly walked down the small building.
The Golden Mansion is already silent at this time.
Cheng Haoran was in the backyard of the Jin Mansion at this time, reporting the results of his trip to the young son.
This time, Cheng Haoran left Yangzhou and went to Shandong, Henan and other places to investigate, which lasted nearly two months, and finally found some clues.
"Master, that Liu Jingxuan was originally from Shandong. Kangxi was born in the thirteenth year, and his parents died when he was a child. Later, his grandfather took him out of Shandong and went to the Northeast, where he went for more than ten years. In the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi, his grandfather died suddenly, and Liu Jingxuan began to travel around. In the forty years of Kangxi, for some reason, Liu Jingxuan ended his travels, participated in the imperial examination, and was admitted to the Jinshi. Because he didn't take care of the officials, he was released to be a magistrate of Gaoyou. ”
The young man tapped his right hand on the table and said lightly, "Is that all?
Cheng Haoran raised his eyes and glanced at the young man, and said softly: "There is really nothing surprising about Liu Jingxuan's life experience. But his grandfather was surprisingly unexpected. ”
The young man's right hand immediately stopped in the air and asked, "Who is his grandfather?"
Cheng Haoran replied word by word: "His grandfather's name is Wu Zhen." ”
The young man touched his forehead with his left hand, thought for a while and said, "Isn't that madman Wu Zhen." ”
Cheng Haoran nodded and said, "It's him." ”
The young man's eyes flashed, and he said with some puzzlement: "I heard that this person is lonely and proud, and he has a close relationship with the old man Yuyang, Zhu Xiongzhan and others. The imperial court once detained him for several years on suspicion of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. I heard that he was released again. Since then, he has been hiding in the rivers and lakes and not asking about the world, how did he become Liu Jingxuan's grandfather?"
Cheng Haoran smiled slightly: "Master Qiqi, this Wu Zhen is not Liu Jingxuan's own grandfather. The slave didn't know what kind of chance it was for Wu Zhen to accept such an adopted grandson. ”
The young man took out the gold folding fan in his arms and said lightly: "This Wu Zhen is only eight buckets high, and he is known as having no books and no reading. Regardless of astronomy and geography, there are hundreds of schools of thought. Moreover, this person has a wide range of friends, and there seem to be few celebrities who oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty that he does not know. I also heard that this person is excellent in martial arts, a green hall gun, a red sword, brave Jiangsu, no one resists. I heard that Helian Qingtian had also confirmed his martial arts with Wu Zhen back then, but unfortunately no one had seen it with his own eyes. That Liu Jingxuan has been adopted by Wu Zhen for so many years, which can be regarded as a great creation. ”
At this time, someone knocked on the door outside: "The slave He Wenqiao asks to see the master." ”
The young man opened the folding fan and whispered, "Come in." ”
He Wenqiao walked into the house lightly, gave the young man a thousand, and said, "The slave knocks on the master." ”
The young man looked up at He Wenqiao and shook the folding fan lightly: "What's the matter?"
He Wenqiao said cautiously: "The slave has been rewarded, Liu Jingxuan sent a message to Chu Jinglian, and he will come to the house tomorrow." ”
The young man frowned slightly and asked, "Why?"
He Wenwan bowed his head and said, "The slave doesn't know." The servants only knew that today, the people of the Four Great Mountain Villas and Liu Jingxuan and others gathered in Murong Jielie's mansion and discussed for a long time. Soon Liu Jingxuan sent a message of worship to Chu Jinglian. ”
The young man couldn't help but laugh: "Could it be that Murong Jielie has discovered the whereabouts of the murderer?"
He Wenwan said: "I heard that Nangong Huangyun found out the clues. But what exactly, the minions don't know?"
The young man flicked the jade bone of the folding fan with his right hand, and said, "Since Liu Jingxuan and the others want to visit Chu Jinglian in the mansion." Did Chu Jinglian make any changes?"
He Wenqiao said: "Chu Jinglian has no change for the time being. This Chu Jinglian lived in a simple place, except for going to the Jade Emperor Terrace regularly to collect the accounts, there was no special move. ”
The young man groaned slightly, and continued to shake the folding fan gently: "Tomorrow, Liu Jingxuan will visit the mansion, and he must want to test Chu Jinglian." However, whether Chu Jinglian is a murderer or not has nothing to do with us, so don't worry about him for the time being. ”
He Wenwan nodded yes.
The young man's face suddenly became solemn, and with a harsh tone, he said, "Don't forget the true purpose of our trip. It has been several months since I came to Yangzhou, but there has been no progress in explaining what you are doing. It was really a disappointment for Hongu. If you can't find any clues, don't come back. ”
Cheng Haoran and He Wenwan were so frightened that they hurriedly kowtowed, and said again and again: "Slaves, wait, the crime deserves death." ”
The young man didn't look at the two in front of him, and got up and walked into the inner room.
After a while, the young man's slightly melancholy words floated out of the inner room: "The hour is not early, and the palace is going to rest." Wait a minute, step down. ”
