Chapter 21: Interception
After Rongzhi moved to Pingkangfang, he took several days off to settle down.
There was something strange in Pingkangfang, and he had few people at his disposal, so he had to investigate it himself. Of course, during this period, Chen Run also sent several beautiful "maids" over, saying that they were sending him some services.
This person was also rejected by him because he "didn't know the style" and said he was "in mourning for the country". In the end, he couldn't resist and reluctantly accepted a cook.
Chen Run was so afraid of Pingkangfang that the man in black tried every means to lure him there that night, which shows how deep the water in Pingkangfang is.
Moreover, since the house was burned down, he noticed that no one was following him. He didn't know whether the person was hiding well or whether he had really moved away.
It's really hard to live a life like this when there is a wolf in front and a tiger in the back. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. Fortunately, Pingkangfang is a mixed bag, which makes it convenient for him to disguise himself and go around in various identities.
After this inquiry, he discovered a strange thing. There were many Xirong people in Pingkangfang. Logically speaking, most of the Xirong people lived near Xishi or Honglu Guest House. Who knew that Pingkangfang
There are so many Xirong people in it.
He thought about that night again. He walked in a hurry that night and did not take a closer look at the men and women in the room. But now that he thought about it, the clothes on the floor that night did not seem to be Central Plains clothes.
The Xirong envoy stayed at the Honglu Guest House, and the Honglu Guest House was a powerhouse of eunuchs. Chen Run paid too much attention to Pingkangfang. Various signs can almost prove one thing - the matter of Yuhuadan is probably related to the eunuchs and Xirong.
.
After understanding this, he has many directions for doing things on weekdays. But it is a pity that he cannot ask for leave every day. After checking this, he is about to go to court.
After the court that day, Rongzhi came back on horseback. When he was about to go home, he saw a carriage driving out of Xiangyunfang.
The three carriages are all pulled by red-maned horses. The carriage is made of mahogany, which is beautiful and eye-catching. It has a picture of Feihong carved on it. When it drives past, there is an extremely strong scent of fat and powder.
, people can’t help but be immersed in it.
Rong Zhi looked at his horse and couldn't help but dismount. He led the horse and asked the people watching the excitement: "Who is going out? Is there such a big battle?"
The commoner looked at Rong Zhi and smiled, "Lang Jun, this is the new one. I'm afraid you don't know him, but this is the car of Madam Qin, the most beautiful oiran in Pingkangfang. This is probably..."
"
The common people also knew the importance, so they didn't say anything more after talking about it, but just winked and winked.
Eighty percent of what is it? Eighty percent of it is an appointment with some dignitary. Although it is a national funeral, they are not playing the piano and having fun. They are wearing red and green.
Look at Mrs. Qin, she is dressed in plain clothes, she looks even more like a goddess descending from heaven.
As for the vastness of the chariots, they are also aimed at ordinary people. Among the dignitaries nearby, who is not more imposing than Lady Qin?
"Who is so brave?" Rong Zhi said pretending to be casual.
"How can Madam Qin's guest be a small person?" the man chuckled.
Rong Zhi frowned slightly, always feeling strange that even if he was soliciting prostitutes at this time, who wouldn't be careful with his tail between his legs. Why is Qin Qinghong so showy? Is it because she is the courtesan?
I'm just afraid of something weird.
Qin Qinghong didn't know what others thought of her. She looked at Liu Jin, who was beside her with a low eyebrow, and her eyes were mocking.
This person was sent here by Wu Yang. He said he was cooperating with her today, but it was better to say he was here to monitor her.
After being restrained by Wu Yang that day, she agreed to cooperate with Wu Yang. After all, she was under the control of others, and some of what Wu Yang said made sense. Since everyone got what they wanted, why bother asking so clearly. So she also
Just agree to Wu Yang for now.
She didn't know what Wu Yang was going to do. Wu Yang only arranged for her to do one thing, and that was to ask her to make an appointment with the highest-status dignitary she could get and go on a trip together when the time came.
She had countless guests, and they were all either rich or noble. If anyone was to have a high status and important weight, it was naturally none other than King Kang.
She has always been cold and arrogant, and would not travel with others easily, let alone invite him in person. Therefore, when she invited Prince Kang today, she almost always invited him.
Soon they arrived at the agreed place. King Kang had been waiting there early. She lowered her eyes, covering up the slight sarcasm in her eyes.
Prince Kang had an excellent reputation in the court and was known to be a clean and tidy person. Who would have thought that Prince Kang would also be her guest?
It is said that prostitutes are despicable, but when these people are trying to please her, they don't know who is more despicable.
According to Wu Yang's request, she took King Kang to the mountains step by step. Even she didn't know why she came here, let alone King Kang who was indulging in beauty.
Neither King Kang nor Qin Qinghong knew where this place was, but Rong Zhi, who had followed all the way, knew it all.
His eyes darkened slightly, a bad premonition welling up in his heart. He quickly got on his horse and hurried off to notify the governor.
King Kang had a high status and was able to speak up in the clan. However, King Kang was smart and never took sides. Logically speaking, he should not help the Zhou family liquidate the eunuchs.
However, if something happens to King Kang nearby, then searching the mountain will be justified.
The courtyard where those women were imprisoned was nearby. Even though it was Guan Zhi's house, and even though there was an inscription by the late Emperor in it, as long as Guan Zhi was not there and King Kang was there as a weight, who could stop the searchers?
Rongzhi was suddenly very glad that Guan Zhi was not in the palace today, but was talking with the Xirong delegation in the Honglu Guesthouse. Otherwise, if it had been involved in the palace ban, this matter would have been irreversible.
Riding the horse into the alley, his horse was frightened for some reason. The horse neighed and its hooves were raised. Rong Zhi's pupils shrank slightly and he pulled the reins suddenly, but felt a burst of sword energy coming from behind, so he hurriedly abandoned the horse and got off.
As soon as he landed on the ground, before he could turn around completely, he heard a painful hissing sound in his ears, and his face was covered with warm liquid.
His horse was killed.
Yes. How could he have forgotten that the person who planned this plot was the man with the eyes and hands in the sky? He had a deliberate plan, how could he easily notice it, how could he easily let him know the information?
He stabilized his body and looked up. As the horse fell to the ground, the man's figure gradually came into view.
The person who came was dressed in black, with a black scarf on his face, standing with a sword, looking extremely frivolous.
"Who are you..." Rong Zhi gritted his teeth.
Wu Yang glanced at the person in front of him contemptuously. Originally, according to his intention, he wanted to simply kill the "sycophant" in front of him with one sword. He didn't want to waste any words. However, remembering Chi Xiao's instructions, he spoke no matter how reluctant he was.
: "I won't kill you, but I won't let you pass this road."
