499: Focus on investigating that the fluorescent satin is just a bait, a temptation used by Zi Jin to force the Dong family to take the bait. If the Dong family had not been attracted by this bait at the beginning and came to the door, they would not have fallen into the embarrassment they are in now. However,

People's hearts are always dissatisfied. For the huge benefits, the Dong family quickly took the bait.

Having taken the bait, what happens next is beyond the control of the Dong family. Neither Le Wang nor Ping Beihou is easy to offend. As businessmen, it is most taboo to get involved in the struggle between the court and the government. The Dong family has been cautious these years.

I never thought that I would now fall into the trap of Zi Jin.

The more Mr. Dong thought about it, the darker his face became. His steps were much more hurried than before. He stood at the gate and looked at the road in front of the door. The left side led to Pingbeihou Mansion and the right side led to Lewang Mansion. He was bound to make a decision.

choose.

Zi Jin was playing with little Chengqing in the house. Ye Mingxuan sat aside and looked at his wife and children with a smile on his face, but said: "Auntie said that girl is quite calm. There has been no movement during this period.

I guess the master behind her didn’t give her any instructions.”

Zi Jin nodded and said slowly: "She was looking for Fourth Master Luo last time. No matter which side this Fourth Master Luo is on, one thing is certain, he has betrayed the Queen."

Ye Mingxuan sneered, "The heart of the people is not enough. The Queen is the Lord of the Sixth Palace. She doesn't want such a backer. I really don't know what benefits the person behind the scenes promised him."

"Of course it's what he wants most." Zi Jin lowered his voice for fear of scaring his son. He looked at Bai Shengsheng's bad boy dozing off with his eyes closed, so he picked him up and gently coaxed him to sleep.

After he fell asleep, he put it on the bed and covered it with a brocade quilt. Then he sat in front of Ye Mingxuan and continued: "Isn't there our spy on Fourth Master Luo? Has he done anything recently?"

"This man is quite calm. He actually didn't move at all. There was nothing unusual about him as usual." Ye Mingxuan said in a low voice.

Zi Jin nodded gently, thought slowly, and suddenly smiled, "I'm afraid these people are waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival night."

Ye Mingxuan was thoughtful, and then said: "Now we have to wait for the Dong family. If the Dong family is willing to cooperate obediently, we can have the upper hand. If not... I'm afraid it will take some trouble."

"It's good to be well prepared. I always feel that Master Jingjing will not give in easily." Zi Jin thought about it carefully and found that there should be no omissions, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

It's a bad feeling to have something you can't control.

So Zi Jin and Ye Mingxuan recalculated what had happened during this period, and finally felt anxious after confirming that there were indeed no omissions.

"Do you think the Dong family is aware of current affairs?" Zi Jin asked with a smile and breathed out softly.

"If you don't know the current affairs, knock them down if they know the current affairs!" Ye Mingxuan's anger doubled. Whenever a person struggles with something for a long time, his mood will become irritable.

The door curtain was gently lifted, Shui Rong walked in, looked at the two of them and saluted, and then said: "The head of the Dong family wants to see you."

Zi Jin and Ye Mingxuan looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Mingxuan said, "Invite him to the flower hall."

Zi Jin and Ming Xuan stood up and walked out slowly. When they reached the door, Zi Jin asked the nanny to go in and look after little Chengqing, and then the two of them walked to the flower hall.

The princess mansion is very large. Zi Jin and Ye Mingxuan live in a separate courtyard with six entrances in front and back. It is divided into two parts by a long alley in the middle of the place where the eldest princess lives. They usually do not disturb each other, and it is very convenient to move around when necessary.

It was built very reasonably. Therefore, Mr. Dong would not disturb others if he came directly into Zi Jin's yard. Naturally, Ping Beihou and the eldest princess would not interfere. The two of them really enjoyed their stay there.

Seeing Zi Jin and others coming in, Mr. Dong quickly stood up and saluted. Ye Mingxuan said calmly: "No need to be formal, just sit down."

As soon as the words fell, the three of them sat down separately. Because Zi Jin was present, Mr. Dong couldn't look up directly, so he had to lower his head half-way, looked at the two of them and said, "Although Cao Min is a commoner, he is not an ant either."

As the princess, my wife has already said when she got back that the Dong family has never wanted to participate in the battles of the imperial court."

Zi Jin looked at Mr. Dong with a half-smile but not a smile. This man was still trying at this moment and was cautious. It seemed that it was not unreasonable for King Le to choose him as his partner.

At this time, Ye Mingxuan snorted from his nose and said slowly: "Mr. Dong, this is really confusing. If you don't participate in the battle between the DPRK and China? Then what do you do to help King Le? Do you think of me?

It’s just a three-year-old’s play!”

Hearing Ye Mingxuan's stern words, Mr. Dong trembled all over and turned slightly pale. He didn't expect that the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division would have such a bad temper. He hurriedly said: "The common people don't dare, but there are some reasons here.

It is true that the Caomin family was not involved in this. The original agreement with Prince Le was that Prince Le would help the Dong family gain a foothold in Kyoto, and the Dong family would help Prince Le deliver something to the master in the palace when there was an opportunity."

This was beyond the expectations of Zi Jin and Ye Mingxuan. They didn't expect Le Wang to be so cautious. It seemed that he was just taking advantage of the fact that the Dong family could enter the palace. As for the news sent, the Dong family probably didn't know either.

This is a bit difficult to handle. You must know that all objects entering the palace must be carefully searched. It is impossible for the Dong family to bring letters in, so Zi Jin and Ye Mingxuan thought that the Dong family was doing the transmission in the middle.

The person who made the oral message turned out not to be so.

The reason why the old fox became the old fox is that he has a moral code.

Ye Mingxuan is also a genius, otherwise he would not be sitting in his current position at such a young age. He looked at Master Dong and asked, "Well, let me ask you, have you given anything to the masters in the palace?"

Mr. Dong wiped the sweat from his forehead, bent down and replied: "Anyone who is favored, who is above the fourth grade, must be given as a gift."

Zi Jin and Ye Mingxuan were shocked again. What on earth is this Music King doing? They looked at each other and suddenly thought of that old bt, Master Jingjing. They thought that she must have contributed to this. Everyone should give it to everyone, naturally.

It will not attract any attention, and it will not make people think that a small royal merchant is doing something for others, and the person in the palace who has contact with King Le will be absolutely safe.

Zi Jin turned his eyes, looked at Master Dong and asked, "I think the things you masters will give you will naturally be different."

The sweat on Mr. Dong's forehead started to break out again. He didn't expect Zi Jin to react so quickly. He actually thought of this and nodded hurriedly, "Of course it's different. After all, the grades are different, so the gifts are of course different."

The problem lies in the gifts. I think King Laile communicates with the people in the palace through these gifts. Although the gifts cannot be spoken, the meaning of the gift can be guessed naturally as long as you are not stupid. But this

This is not good news for Zi Jin and Ye Mingxuan, because King Le is a gift from every master in the palace, so it is not easy for Zi Jin to see some clues from this.

"Is the gift given every year prepared by your business or Lewang Mansion?" Ye Mingxuan asked in a deep voice.

"It was prepared by the palace, we are just running errands. Moreover, Prince Le will mark which gift is for which master. We just deliver it accurately. The rest is beyond our control."

Everyone knows that the emperor's merchants were filial to their masters in the harem, and it was not a big deal. So even if the Dong family gave things to the harem, others would not think much about it. After all, the emperor's merchants were not a Dong family, and other people's families would not think too much about it.

Those who know how to give gifts will naturally not be noticed if everyone gives them. The difference is that in other families, not everyone will give gifts, but will give gifts to those who are favored. However, the Dong family gives gifts to everyone and never offends others easily, so these years the emperor

Even though the Shang family changed several times, the Dong family was still not suppressed.

Now that Master Dong is here, both Zi Jin and Ye Mingxuan understand that this is the Dong family's decision. Thinking about it, these words Master Dong said are not false. Although the Dong family is busy working for the King of Music, in the end they are just a legend.

They just believed it, but in fact they still didn’t know who in the palace King Le was in contact with.

However... this is not a problem for Zi Jin. The corners of Zi Jin's mouth are slightly curved. Everything has a track. As long as it is done, there will be no clue left. Looking at Mr. Dong, Zi Jin asked: "I have been in the palace all these years."

What kind of things have been given to me and who have been given to them? I think Mr. Dong must have a record, right?"

Mr. Dong is completely convinced this time, and the things he gives every year must be recorded in the book. The King of Music will definitely not let Mr. Dong do this, but Mr. Dong is a thoughtful person, so he still has an extra hand to save his life just in case.

I think Zi Jin even knew this.

Wiping off a cold sweat, Mr. Dong hurriedly said: "The princess is wise, the villain is also the life of the whole family, there must be... there must be a basis for saving one's life."

"I understand, but I still ask Mr. Dong to give me a copy of these records, okay?" Zi Jin knew that he couldn't go too far, and he couldn't take away everything he needed to save his life. This can be regarded as a gift to the Dong family.

A reassuring pill, I don’t want your life-saving thing, but I just want you to give me a copy. I hope that when you come to the Dong family, you can also appreciate Zi Jin’s kindness.

Sure enough, Mr. Dong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Okay, okay, thank you, Princess, and thank you for commanding me, sir."

No matter how cunning the King of Music is, as long as the things he sends every year are presented in front of Zi Jin, Zi Jin will be able to analyze who is the King of Music's allies from this large amount of information. The harem changes very quickly, and there will be someone who is favored every year.

Although he has fallen out of favor, the people who have cooperated with Le Wang have been as stable as rock for so many years. Zi Jin can always narrow down the scope and focus on investigation.
