Chapter 31: The Discovery of the Conspiracy

The sky gradually darkened, and the entire Wuwen Marquis Mansion was also decorated with vermilion lanterns, and the top and bottom were busy, and they could not see a little bit of the night tranquility that ordinary people's homes should have.

Zhennan princess Luo Yun symbolized xìng and went back after dinner, according to reason, the entire Hou Mansion should also rest, but seeing that the slave and maid came in a hurry and went in a hurry, it showed a more busy demeanor.

Moreover, from the side gate of the northwest corner of the Hou Mansion, there are constantly high-quality gold mud bricks, glazed tiles, cedar and other materials transported in, and there are signs of large-scale construction.

There is only one reason for such busyness, that is, in the evening, the edict of the harem came down, and the queen mother intended to let the Wuwen Hou family and the Yuan Concubine Niangniang form a relationship, and ten days later, the Yuan Concubine Niang Luan drove back to the province to relieve the pain of missing her hometown.

This is a big event, but it is much more grand than the princess coming to the mansion, and the etiquette is much more cumbersome, and it is necessary to build a large number of buildings.

The princess came to the mansion just to put incense to greet her, and the lady who came to the mansion had to kneel down to greet her.

However, this is also a great honor, the Wuwen Hou Hong family has become a relative of the emperor, and its status has been consolidated and grand.

The liveliness of the Hou Mansion was lively, but Hong Yi fell into deep thought.

"What's going on? Could it be that Mrs. Zhao showed me goodwill? changed my house, and took the initiative to go to the account room to give me three hundred taels of silver? When did she become so generous? Even if I got acquainted with the princess, but the princess couldn't manage the family affairs in the Hou Mansion at all, I borrowed her power, and I only borrowed it for a while, but not for a lifetime, and it is very likely that I will stabilize my heart now, and then Xu Tu will slowly clean me up." ”

Outside the window is a patchwork of Guilin, the bright moon shines down from the shadows of the trees, the bottom of Guilin is cleaned, the stone tables and stone benches are elegant, and there are rockeries next to them, and the pools are gurgling.

In the wing room, the screen bed, the inner room and the outer room, are full of fine wood. Spacious and comfortable.

The inner room is the room where Hong Yi lives, and the outer room is where the four maids who serve him rest.

At night, if there is anything to do, the maid in the outer room will immediately get up and obey the master's command.

This is the standard treatment of the young master of the Hou Mansion. This environment is a hundred times stronger than the small courtyard in the northwest corner where Hong Yi originally lived.

At this time, Hong Yi sat on the bed, embroidered silk quilts on the bed, and incense hit people, so that people could feel the taste of wealth as soon as they lay down, and they didn't want to get up.

But Hong Yi did not lie down, but sat cross-legged on the bed, did not light the lamp, closed his eyes and sat quietly in the dark, thinking in his heart.

It turned out that as soon as Luo Yun left, Hong Yi learned that Mrs. Zhao gave herself the high-class wing room osmanthus wing on the east side of the Hou Mansion, and at the same time assigned four maids to serve her, and asked the account room to pay three hundred taels of silver to herself.

This seems to be a gesture of favor to himself and wants to improve the relationship, but Hong Yi knows in his heart that things are never so simple.

Not to mention that Princess Luoyun of Zhennan and herself are only a temporary acquaintance, and their relationship is not deep, even if they are good friends, Mrs. Zhao can't be so respectful to herself.

You must know that Mrs. Zhao's two sons, Hong Xi is the eldest son, and he is 100% determined to inherit the title of marquis in the future. Now he is not a good horn, he is the commander of the three major battalions of the Royal Forest Army, the Shenji Battalion, with a mysterious identity and outstanding martial arts.

The second son went to the rich provinces in the south to become an official.

What's more, her maiden family is not simple, several generations of scholars.

No matter what she had, she still had to move out quickly, but she didn't have the right to speak until she was lifted. ”

Hong Yi had long wanted to move out of the Hou Mansion, but first, he had no source of income, and second, as a person from the Hou Mansion, it didn't mean that he could move out if he moved out.

And once you win the lift, it's different. Xiucai is just a son, but the lifting person is a "master", after winning the lift, the identity has changed greatly, and the family can be exempted from the imperial court official tax, field tax, and labor.

The so-called gentry do not pay food.

With this rule, there will be many commoners who will come to you, sell themselves as slaves, and even transfer the land to your name, so that you can avoid taxes.

Although Daqian was prosperous, the taxes were still very heavy, and there was a lot of labor.

That is to say, as long as Hong Yi is lifted now, even if he goes out empty-handed, there are a lot of people who send money, silver, and fields to take refuge in himself, and within half a year, he can build a big home.

More importantly, the identity of the person is equal to that of the local official, and he can be called a brother and sister when he sees a county official, and he can even enter the yamen to meet the local official at any time.

This kind of identity also has the right to speak, in the Hou Mansion, Hong Xuanji, who said that he wanted to move out, and the rules and regulations Hong Xuanji had no reason to reprimand and obstruct him.

"Concubine Yuan....... Ziyue...... Although I guessed that the Yuan Concubine was from the palace, I still didn't expect that she was actually the imperial concubine, who left the palace late at night, was strong in martial arts, and went to see relatives...... She also seems to have a friendship with Ziyue, but she is also one of the eight great demon immortals in the world? But she is the princess of Yuantu Kingdom....... it seems that Ziyue is also a member of the Yuantu Bai family? They were reincarnated into Yuantu, and then entered the Daqian Palace, I am afraid that it is not as simple as looking for scriptures, could it be that there is some kind of conspiracy?"

At this time, Hong Yi had already learned some things from Luo Yun's mouth, and he strengthened his guess in his heart, the concubine he met in Qiuyue Temple in Xishan must be the current imperial concubine, the princess of Yuantu Kingdom.

The eight great demon immortals in the world, Bai Ziyue, and Concubine Yuan, these things are connected together, and Hong Yi vaguely feels that there is a lot of conspiracy in it, and in the future, something big will definitely happen.

"But what does this matter to me? If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone. I am now poor and poor, and I can only keep to myself, what do I have to do with the affairs of those big people? Even if I want to subvert the big cadres, I have no ability to care, how big the bowl is, how big the food is, and how big the food is, and how much I am not capable of taking care of it, that is a reckless man, not the work of a sage. Or think about your own business. ”

Hong Yi had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

After calming down his thoughts, Hong Yi remembered that he was watching the painting plum of the dry road in the study, so that he had a deeper understanding of the Mida Sutra, and he was able to get out of his shell and swim, and now he finally settled down, Hong Yi decided to try to see how strong his soul had become.

Just think about it, and the soul has already drifted out.

As soon as Hong Yi'er left the body, he felt a kind of taste of swimming, floating around in the room, flickering, once here, once there, within ten steps, in a daze, he felt a little ghostly smell.

There is no doubt that this is the result of the growth of the spirit.

It turned out that when he was traveling at night, Hong Yi knew that his soul could only walk flutteringly, two or three feet above the ground, and he couldn't walk fast, otherwise there was a risk of injury.

And now ten steps are just around the corner, and although he still doesn't have the ability to travel thousands of miles, Hong Yi feels that he can already be far away from his body.

Hong Yi floated his soul out, passed through a short corridor, and arrived at the outer room, where there were four girls sleeping on the bed, breathing evenly, and in the closed eyes, the ears moved slightly, as agile as cats and dogs.

Obviously a talented girl.

"Spy on my every move?" Hong Yi sneered.

At this moment, a figure walked in silently, without a sound, after walking in, patted a maid, the maid immediately woke up, saw the person in front of him, and said softly: "Mama Zeng?"

The person who walked in, full of silver hair, but his hands were like twenty-eight girls, it was the old woman who followed the eldest lady, but it was called Mama Zeng.

Mama Zeng raised her hand and motioned for the maid to follow, but the person had already walked out.

The maid was very machine-oriented, and immediately followed, and the two of them stood at the base of the wall and talked.

"Keep an eye on that kid, every move he makes, report back immediately, see where he practices martial arts, what martial arts he practices?"

Hong Yi heard the voice.

If he didn't have the ability to fugue, it would be impossible for him to discover this Zeng Mama, who was very skillful.
