"Tell me the important point!" Xu Yin knocked on the table.
"Oh." Wei Jun regretfully skipped the process of showing off his skills and establishing his power, "Anyway, my subordinates convinced them all, successfully joined the plan, and learned a piece of news."
"What?"
Wei Jun said mysteriously: "These bandit leaders are gathered here to do a big deal - to kidnap a noble person."
"who?"
"I haven't said it yet, but I am obedient and have something to do with the Hexing Prince's Mansion."
There are not many noble people in Hexing. The only one who can mobilize troops and mobilize so many bandit leaders is the Prince of Hexing, right?
Wei Jun said: "King He Xing got a beautiful concubine recently and plans to hold a spring banquet to celebrate."
"Oh." Xu Yin nodded.
He Xing Wang Chu Kai, this is a character that is not easy to evaluate.
The Chu family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there are many descendants. Under the king's title, it is inevitable to compete for power. Chu Kai can win in the previous generation, and he is certainly not a waste.
But his shortcomings are also obvious, such as focusing on selfish desires, enjoying himself, and acting entirely based on his preferences.
Unlike other rebel kings, he happened to be in troubled times, and he was ambitious and wanted to earn a fortune. However, in his previous life, Duke Zhao Guogong swept the world, and the one he could not conquer was the Chu family.
In short, you say Chu Kai is capable, but he is unwilling to make progress, and you say he is incompetent, and he keeps Hexing so water can't get in.
Chu Kai was so beautiful, and every time he got a new beauty, he would have a big banquet. On such occasions, wealthy families often gathered. I don't know if the gathering of these thieves had something to do with the Spring Festival Banquet.
She had never heard of this incident in her previous life. Was it resolved successfully, or did it not happen at all?
If you think about it carefully, the current situation is very different from the previous life, and it is difficult to infer based on what you have seen and heard before.
"Continue to inquire, don't reveal your identity." Xu Yin quickly made a plan.
Wei Jun clasped his fists: "Yes."
"Go and have a rest, and call Chai Qi here by the way."
Wei Jun resigned, and after a while, Chai Qi came in.
"Third Miss."
Xu Yin nodded: "You can find a way to enter Prince Hexing's Mansion and find out about the situation of Master Chu Jiu."
Chai Qi took the order and left.
After the business was done, everyone had a meal and rest.
On the second day, Wei Jun continued to act like a bandit leader, while Chai Qi entered the palace.
Xu Yin was not idle either. She and Xiao Sang disguised themselves and went to the market for a stroll.
There is a lot of gossip circulating in the city. Although it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false, you can still find valuable clues.
Sure enough, they found out about the origin of Chu Kai's beautiful concubine at Washi.
The story begins last year. After King Duan's rebellion, the capital fell into turmoil. The concubine was from the capital, and her father was a minor official. For fear of being implicated, he took his family back to his hometown overnight.
His family's ancestral home was in Hexing, but all their property was in Beijing. Life was very difficult after returning. In order to make a living, the daughter of the family had no choice but to go out and do some needlework to survive.
The young lady was so beautiful that she provoked gangsters all the time, and even went so far as to force her into marriage.
The old father was furious and went to the Yamen to file a complaint. The director was shocked and reported it immediately.
Now, the forced marriage by the local ruffians has become the forced marriage by the prince, and there is no room for resistance at all.
Fortunately, Chu Kai is considered generous, and now he has all the servants in the house.
Those chatting are still envious. Although he is not the serious father-in-law of the prince, who doesn't know that the prince obeys the words of the people he loves? There will be a lot of glory and wealth in the future!
Xu Yin returned to the inn, but Wei Jun had not returned yet, and Chai Qi brought back a surprising news.
Gu Ying
"Master Chu Jiu is under house arrest."
"What?" Xu Yin was surprised, "Isn't he the favorite son of King Hexing?"
"So it was," Chai Qi said, "but now his mother has fallen out of favor."
Xu Yin frowned: "Is it related to the new beauty who entered the house?"
Chai Qi nodded: "I heard that the lady was jealous and drugged the new beauty. King Hexing was furious and put the mother and son under house arrest."
Xu Yin didn't know what to say.
This thing is a bit ridiculous, but it is also a bit believable. She feels that the hard part about Chu Kai is here. When it comes to beauties, there is nothing that King He Xing can't do...
Xu Yin thought: "The Ninth Prince of Chu has been King He Xing's favorite son for a long time, and he still wants to make him the crown prince. He should have his own manpower, so he won't have no ability to resist at all, right?"
Chai Qi said: "My subordinates heard the news that Master Chu Jiu's fall from favor has something to do with the fact that he went to Nanyuan before and returned without success."
Well, that's really hard to say.
After all, the harem is the harem. If King He Xing is dissatisfied with the Chu Ninth Young Master's business, it may be that he has really fallen out of favor.
"You just stare first and pay attention to the movement."
"yes."
In the evening, Wei Jun came back.
"The one they want to kidnap is Chu Kai's newly acquired concubine."
Xu Yin frowned: "Ask for money?"
Wei Jun nodded: "They gathered the famous bandits nearby just to kill a big one. I happened to go there yesterday. At first I thought I was from another band, but then I showed my strength, and they also
admit."
After learning the inside story, Xu Yin lost interest: "Okay, just deal with it first, if you can sell a favor from the Hexing Prince's Mansion, that's fine."
It's not that she doesn't sympathize with beauties, it's just that this matter involves too many things, and even if she helps, it's not the right way to help.
For example, does the beauty herself feel that the palace is a good place to stay? Her family is not satisfied with the current situation. If they join forces with these thieves to rob people, the beauty's situation will be even worse than in the palace.
On the other hand, Master Chu Jiu can use his strength.
New news from the palace quickly spread.
"The Ninth Prince of Chu tried to plead with King He Xing, but he was beaten up."
Xu Yin frowned and thought.
Speaking of which, the Hexing Prince's Mansion that she knew in her previous life did not have anything to do with Mr. Chu Jiu. Does this mean that Chu Kai did not confirm that Mr. Chu Jiu would be crowned heir in the end? It is impossible to say that Mr. Chu Jiu failed in the internal struggle in his previous life.
? Otherwise, she would have heard something about it, right?
Xu Yin thought about it and finally made a decision: "Chai Qi, I want to see Master Chu Jiu, please send him a message."
If this is the case, you will know if you try it.
Xu Yin has some confidence in Master Chu Jiu. Previously, in Nanyuan, it was a real life-saving favor. Later, he also wrote a letter when he returned, and his attitude was quite duty-like.
No matter what the Hexing Palace is doing, Master Chu Jiu certainly does not want to lose the Xu family as an ally.
Chai Qi entered the mansion again, and the next day there was a response from the mansion.
"Third Miss, Master Chu Jiu wants to see you."
"where?"
"Dongan Temple."
Xu Yin nodded: "Okay, you make an appointment with him."
Only one day later, Master Chu Jiu left the palace. After all, he had been favored for so many years and had many people in his hands. He quickly left the palace.
In the Buddhist hall of Dong'an Temple, Master Chu Jiu was shocked when he saw Xu Yin: "I just gave it a try, but I didn't expect it was really you!"
