In the Ten Princes' Mansion, life was as normal as ever. Everyone had their own duties and was doing their own things.
A few days ago, the deacon in the mansion was captured by people from Dongchang. It seems to have happened a long time ago. No one mentioned it anymore. Except for the person involved, everyone seemed to have forgotten about it.
But Chief Shi Li Qiuan did not forget this because he accidentally found out that Zheng Bajin from Dongchang was dead!
What a good death, what a wonderful death!
Waking up early in the morning and hearing such news really makes people feel happy. God has mercy on such a lawless thing, no matter how many times he dies, especially when I heard that this person accidentally fell into the pond and drowned while drunk.
Yes, he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.
There is an inkstone in front of the case, which was given by the young deacon Jiang Wan. It is not expensive, but it is exquisite.
In the position of Changshi, he would not accept gifts from others, but if it was an elegant thing like pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and it was not worth a few dollars, he would still be willing to keep it.
After all, this was also the little deacon's intention.
Thinking of this, he felt that it was necessary to tell the little deacon the news. Since he had sold him well before, he might as well sell a little more to solidify the favor. Who knows whether the little deacon will be successful in the future?
Woolen cloth?
"Come here, go and ask Jiang Wan, the deacon of Yunxuan, to come to my place!" He ordered outside.
Someone hurried away, and not long after, he hurried back: "The steward Jiang Wan from Ting Yunxuan was summoned by the prince. Steward Li Fuyao asked the younger one to ask the Lord if there is anything important?"
"Has the prince summoned you?" Li Qiu'an was stunned for a moment and then laughed. It was indeed the person recommended by Wang Chengen. He didn't know how many benefits he had given to Wang Chengen, so that he allowed Wang Chengen to pave the way for him so carefully. Where could the deacon take care of things in a leisurely manner?
It was so easy to meet the prince.
"It's nothing important. Just tell her back!" Li Qiu'an shook his head and turned his mind away from this matter. Anyway, Jiang Wan was definitely not as well-informed about the news of Zheng Bajin's death. It would be the same if he told him later.
. However, you don’t have to take the initiative to tell him. If he is willing to get close to you, there are plenty of opportunities to tell him.
In the Tenth Prince's Palace, almost everyone knows that although His Royal Highness Prince Xin is young, he has never had anything to do with things like sleeping in and getting up late. He even has a bunch of singers and dancers in the palace.
In Tingyunxuan, except for festivals and birthdays, when the prince would go there to welcome the occasion, on weekdays that building was almost the most relaxing place in the palace.
The prince is very self-disciplined in this regard.
As usual, a teacher came to teach every morning. While waiting for the teacher, Zhu Youjian casually talked to Wang Chengen about entering the palace yesterday. Having grown up in the palace, he knew everything about the palace well. He didn't know it before.
What do you think, but as he gets older, he always feels that the atmosphere in the palace is a little subtle and weird.
"Imperial brother seems to be doting on the saintly empress too much. Can you tell me, my companion? Yesterday, I and the emperor brother were in the palace all day long. The saintly empress was inseparable from the emperor's side and behaved very intimately. She is not his concubine.
Concubine, this is a bit disrespectful to the emperor’s sister-in-law!"
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to talk nonsense about my masters' affairs!" Wang Chengen replied helplessly. Would he dare to say a word about such a topic?
"By the way, I saw Wei Zhongxian yesterday!" Zhu Youjian glanced sideways at Wang Chengen: "When it comes to serving people, my companion, you really should learn from Wei Zhongxian. He is like a tapeworm in the emperor's belly. There is no need for the emperor to
As soon as the brother opens his mouth, he will know what the emperor wants. Such a useful slave, if it were me, I would have to reuse it!"
"But, I am loyal!" When Wang Chengen heard this, his helpless face suddenly became aggrieved: "I guarantee with my life that I will definitely be more loyal to the prince than Wei Zhongxian is to the prince!"
"He is the emperor's brother, so being loyal to me is a bad thing!" Zhu Youjian laughed, stretched out his legs and lightly kicked Wang Chengen, who was kneeling down: "Get up, let's talk to you for a while.
Kneel down, are you interested?"
"I'm scared to death. I thought the prince disliked the slave!" Wang Chengen stood up with relief: "For Wei Zhongxian to be valued by your majesty, it is natural that he has his own merits. This slave is definitely incomparable.
!”
"That's not necessarily the case!" Zhu Youjian shook his head: "By the way, how did Jiang Wan handle the matter last time? I almost forgot about it. I saw Wei Zhongxian smiling at me yesterday, and it seemed like he didn't
The same thing happened, and I just remembered it!”
A teasing smile appeared on his face: "I don't want people from Dongchang to come to my Tenth Prince's Mansion to demand debts!"
"This matter has been settled!" When Wang Chengen heard this, a smile appeared on his lips: "I can guarantee that the guy who was pushed out by Dongchang to test the prince will never come to our palace to cause trouble for Jiang Wan.
!”
"Oh, did you do it?" Zhu Youjian became interested after hearing this: "How can this matter be done properly? Let's talk about it. If there are any tricks left, it can't be called done properly!"
"Well, I just asked Jiang Wan for some information. I don't think I handled it. In fact, if Jiang Wan hadn't told me yesterday, I wouldn't have known that this matter had been done!"
Seeing Zhu Youjian's questioning look, Wang Chengen said softly: "The stall owner from Dongchang slipped and drowned in Enji Temple yesterday after drinking. The people from Dongchang went there to check in person and confirmed that he slipped on his own initiative!"
"He slipped and drowned?" Zhu Youjian was stunned: "It's such a coincidence that the people from Dongchang went to check it out in person, probably because they didn't believe it!"
"But it is true that he slipped and drowned, and there are no traces of outsiders' involvement!" Wang Chengen said with certainty: "However, since this person is dead, the person who sent him out to test the prince should also know what happened. Is there any evidence?
It’s something else, but this is the result!”
"What if they refuse to give up and continue to send people out to test me?" Zhu Youjian pondered. This answer was a bit beyond his expectation. This was not the result he wanted, but it seemed to be better than what he wanted.
The results are even better!
"I believe that there must be other surprises waiting for those people!" Wang Chengen said with certainty: "If a few of these people die and the other party is still not sure what is going on, then the prince does not need to follow these people.
You idiot, you’re welcome!”
"Daban, you didn't have such skills before?" Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up and he stared at Wang Chengen: "Don't tell me, the whole thing was planned by Jiang Wan from beginning to end. If this is the case,
If so, this guy is really quite capable!"
"Indeed!" Wang Chengen was in a very good mood and did not want to take Jiang Wan's credit at all: "How did he do it? I really don't know anything about it, but this scholar is indeed much better than the average nerd.
!”
"Go and call him over!" Zhu Youjian thought for a while: "I want to ask him carefully how he, a weak scholar, did all this!"
