Chapter five hundred and ninety first follow the vine
In the box, Zhu Houzhao heard a sudden noise coming from below, and couldn't help but frowned: "Xu Xun has always been resourceful, and Gu Dayong is also a smart person, so let them go down to invite Yu Tangchun. As for the trouble?
Look like this?"
Zhang Cai also felt strange. He was about to stand up to see what was going on down there when a cough came from outside, followed by a guard's respectful voice: "Master Zhu, down below, Ping Beibo and Gu
My father-in-law has sent word that something happened, so please move away temporarily and talk to Yu Tangchun in another place."
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly became even more strange. After thinking for a long time, he stood up. When he came down the stairs, he saw that the entire first floor was filled with people in casual clothes from the West Factory. Inexplicably, he saw Xu Xun facing the valley.
Dayong said something and immediately walked forward quickly and asked angrily: "Hey, what's going on?"
"A big case has arisen, and Eunuch Gu must handle it immediately." Xu Xun glanced sideways at Liu Erhan, who was staring at Zhu Houzhao with a frightened face, and then said with a half-smile, "In short, let's change the place and talk in detail.
There was quite a commotion just now. If someone comes down from upstairs later and bumps into us, it will be awkward. Mr. Liu, since you are a regular visitor here, it shouldn't be difficult to find a quiet place for us to talk?"
Liu Erhan met Xu Xun twice in total, both times in this alley of Bensi. Once, the beauty he had coveted for a long time fell into the hands of Qian Ning, but this time it was even more exaggerated. He originally wanted to kiss Fangze, but ended up making trouble.
Such a bizarre case! However, he was still angry, but he had met the little emperor with Liu Jin. Now he glanced at Zhu Houzhao again. After all, he reluctantly agreed, and turned around.
He shouted sharply at a few stunned followers: "Did you hear that? I haven't arrived at the Wenxuan Yazhu where I often go. I asked them to move a private room quickly... No, I told them to clear out the guests quickly!"
If it were someone else, Xu Xun might have said not to mobilize troops, but since he was Liu Jin's nephew, he wouldn't be so kind. When the carriage came, he asked Zhu Houzhao to get in first. When Zhang Cai followed him, he
Shao Shao had to tell the story of what happened just now. When he said that more than a dozen skeletons were buried under Yutang Chun's yard and a copper pipe was set up privately to listen, Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Cai's
His face turned dark at the same time.
"Lawless, this is simply lawless!" Zhu Houzhao didn't expect to encounter such injustice just when he went out for a walk. He hit the carriage wall with his fist and made a loud bang. "The emperor's feet are filled with dirt like this, let alone
Elsewhere? If this is really the case, I will never tolerate it, and I will cut that damn woman into pieces with a thousand knives!"
Where there is light, there is darkness. In comparison, Zhang Cai was more concerned about the copper pipe. However, he did not speak rashly until he reached the Wenxuan Yazhu. Zhu Houzhao opened the door and jumped out.
After he stopped, he grabbed Xu Xun's sleeve and asked: "Uncle Pingbei, I'm afraid only the factory guards can think of setting up a copper tube listening room in such a sensual place, and they are the only ones who have such courage.
Could it be Jin Yiwei and Xichang?"
"It's okay. Eunuch Gu was beside me at that time. You could tell by his face that it wasn't him. As for Jin Yiwei, although it is not as powerful as before, but think about who among the factory guards has the longest time? Jin Yiwei's spy
They are the most powerful and would not use such unflattering means! Believe it or not, if it is really the factory guard who does this kind of thing, then there are only two possibilities, either the Dong Factory or the expert factory, and the expert factory may be the biggest!
You know, Qian Ning just took his daughter Shang Fenfen as his concubine."
Zhang Cai got out of the car when he saw Xu Xun finished speaking. He immediately followed without thinking. After he stood firm, he couldn't help but whispered: "If it is really Qian Ning, what are you going to do?"...
"The expert factory is not under my control, what can I do?" He said this, but seeing Liu Erhan standing at the door with a smile, Xu Xun smiled and said, "Qian Ning is too smart, even this
You can think of all these things! If only he can wake up from this, that’s all. If he still can’t wake up, then I have nothing to say!”
Liu Jin is now very popular, and even Liu Erhan, his nephew, is also very proud. Just in the time of riding here, the huge Wenxuan elegant building has been completely cleared. Like the Qunfang Pavilion just now, it is just a place where guests come and go.
The word "elegance" is used in this place for gossiping and drinking, so naturally the person presiding here is not a madam, but a middle-aged scribe. However, he, who usually entertains all kinds of people with no success, made up a few words in front of Zhu Houzhao, but was stunned.
He was ignored, and his few words were frustrated in front of Xu Xun. Finally, he had to retreat under Liu Erhan's warning eyes.
As soon as Zhu Houzhao entered the room, he recognized Yu Tangchun, who was standing with his head bowed. Seeing that his hands exposed outside his sleeves were unharmed, he couldn't help but glance at Cao Qian, who had just been waiting in front of the door, and said with a half-smile:
"Cao Qian, Xu Xun has always praised you in the past. I also thought that he was biased towards your Cao family. I never thought that your adaptability and sharp eyesight were as good. You never thought of kicking someone else's girl, just in case you used her to eat.
What should I do if it’s broken by a kick?”
"Ji Zhi...Bi Zhi was afraid that she would stab her with all her strength, so she didn't pay that much attention in her desperation."
Seeing Cao Qian's face full of sarcasm, Xu Xun tried to smooth things over for him and said: "Cao Qian can make such an emergency response at a critical moment, and the result is very good. This is enough. If it had been someone else, he might not have made any move.
The spring in the jade hall will be fragrant and the jade will die."
Although Yutangchun didn't know who Zhu Houzhao was, he could see that he talked casually with Xu Xun, so he gritted his teeth and simply knelt down: "I have already decided to give up this life, but now I am lucky enough to survive.
Fortunately, please don’t blame Mr. Cao!”
"No blame, no blame, am I just saying that casually?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Yu Tangchun with interest, and suddenly laughed, "I remember that Qian Ning saved that He Cailian in Shacheng, and then made great achievements and hugged
It’s a good story to have a beautiful woman come home, but I didn’t expect that there would be such a heroic and beautiful woman today!”
Although Yutangchun saw a visitor for the first time tonight, Yi Zhongjin had taught her how to read words and emotions since she was a child. At this moment, she understood what Zhu Houzhao meant, and she felt her heart skip a beat, and she couldn't help but glance at Cao Houzhao.
Qian glanced at him. Although this man still had frostbite scars on his face, his decisiveness in saving him and his carefulness in escorting him here. In addition, he was indeed a brave and brave man, and he was indeed the best choice for countless women.
The kind of person I fall in love with. However, I only heard Uncle Pingbei's praise when he talked about this person. And he knew right after he claimed a humble position that he must have an official position. How could he be worthy of it?
I would rather be the concubine of a hero than the wife of a mediocre person. But how many good endings can there be for such a high-ranking person?
Thinking of this, she immediately kowtowed heavily and said: "Thank God, I am able to bring such a case to the world. I don't dare to ask for anything else. When I fell into the dust of the world, my parents died early and I was still young.
. But I still remember that my hometown is in Suzhou! I have been away from home for many years and I don’t know what is going on with my parents’ tombs. I would rather go back to my hometown and stay in front of my parents’ tombs, hoping that my son will be happy!”
Xu Xun once heard Qian Ning tell how Qian Ning and He Cailian met. He Cailian suffered a tragic fate and was kidnapped by the Tatars, but she hid her face and concealed a sharp blade. It cannot be said that she was not strong-willed. In the end, she would rather be a heroic concubine. But there is nothing wrong with it.
Although there are some differences in today's scene, when it comes down to it, the emotions are not the same. Therefore, when he heard Yutangchun kowtow and confess that he wanted to return to his hometown, he couldn't help but be slightly moved. When he saw the relief on Cao Qian's face, he didn't realize it.
Smile slightly….
Also, that time it was fire meeting dry wood, but this time it was just the little emperor shaving his head and picking up the heat... No, to be more precise, it was completely the little emperor's meddling in his own business. Neither man nor woman meant this! He was a life-saver.
If you show kindness, you must show your body. This is the plot in novels and dramas!
Thinking of this, he saw that Zhu Houzhao's face was gloomy and uncertain. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he coughed dryly and smoothed things over: "This is not easy. When the case is settled, I will order someone to escort you back to your hometown. Yu Tangchun,
Today, when I listen to your song "Ambush from Flying Daggers" in front of a large audience, I feel like I still have something to say. Now that there are no outsiders, you can use your best skills to play a song as a thank you gift!"
Zhu Houzhao, who loves watching heroes and beauties the most, did not expect that the heroes and beauties this time would not be able to play. However, he was only depressed for a moment, and then he nodded carelessly and said: "That's right. You play the pipa well, but one song is too bad."
If it's not enough, let's play one or two more songs. As long as you play well, let alone return to your hometown, I'll ask Xu Xun to send someone to rebuild your parents' tombs for you!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Yutangchun kowtowed again and then stood up slowly. After going to get her pipa, she patiently adjusted her tune again, put on the finger gloves and sat down, pondered for a moment and then started playing.
But it is different from the previous "House of Flying Daggers". It is crisp and bright at first, and then the soothing sound gradually becomes more urgent. The song is sometimes soothing and sometimes fast. Although it is not as good as "House of Flying Daggers", it makes people feel as if they are thinking all the time.
, but it has a different flavor.
At the end of the song, Zhang Cai took the lead in stroking his palms and exclaiming: "What a sunset flute and drum. You play the martial arts well and the civil and military music even better. With your pipa, no one in this alley can surpass you!"
"According to his usual habits, it would have been a pity to say it smoothly at this time, but at this moment he stopped abruptly, and then asked with a smile, "Yutangchun should be your flower name.
Since I’m no longer in the dust from now on, it’s better to keep my original name.”
Zhang Cai didn't remind him of this, but Zhu Houzhao didn't think of it for a moment, and immediately asked with great interest: "What is your last name?"
Yutangchun leaned forward with his pipa in his arms and replied: "My lord, my concubine's original surname was Zhou. After she was sold to Beijing, she changed her name to Su San and her nickname was Yutangchun. Today you are so kind and virtuous. I will remember this in my heart for the rest of my life.
In the next life, we will surely repay each other with a ring of grass!"
Although he knew that there were endless injustices in the world, Xu Xun could save such a woman. Naturally, Xu Xun felt that today's trip was not in vain. However, knowing that it was getting late, he had to urge Zhu Houzhao to return to the palace, but Zhu Houzhao did not
He said with lingering thoughts: "This Yutangchun will be placed in your house first. Isn't Tang Yin from Suzhou? It's still early. Let's go to Lingji Hutong West Factory first to see how Gu Dayong's case goes!"
The little emperor always thought of what he thought. Xu Xun tried to persuade him to no avail, so he had to order all the guards. However, he asked Cao Qian to send Yu Tangchun back, and asked Zhang Cai to go back to the house with him to explain to Xu Liang who was still at home.
Clearly. However, as soon as he went out, he found that Liu Erhan still hadn't left. Not only that, his face was even more panicked than before. When he saw him following Zhu Houzhao out, he actually stepped forward to greet him and squeezed out a
With a smile uglier than crying, she bent down deeply.
"Zhu... Mr. Zhu. My uncle just sent a message, saying that please stay for a while. He will be here immediately!"
"Liu Jin?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly raised his eyebrows in surprise. "What is he doing here?"
Yutangchun, who was following Cao Qian step by step, heard that Mr. Zhu in front of him called Gu Da by his first name before, and now he even called Liu Jin by his first name. The vague suspicion in her heart suddenly turned into certainty. She endured it.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath and try his best to calm down. Then he put his palms together and murmured to himself: "Thank you Buddha for listening to the prayer of the believer. I only hope that the evil man can beheaded. The believer returns home safely!"
….
Although he was a little puzzled, Zhu Houzhao had an unusual affection for Liu Jin. After thinking about it, he said angrily: "Wait for your uncle here. Tell him that we went to Lingji Hutong. Let him go there!"
Liu Erhan wanted to try again, but how could he persuade Zhu Houzhao? In the end, he could only watch the group of people get into the car separately and roar away surrounded by many guards. He didn't know how long he waited at the gate of Wenxuan Yazhu.
He just saw a group of people coming quickly. When he went to meet them, he saw that the first person on horseback in front of him was Liu Jin, and he was shocked.
He had always watched Liu Jin coming in and out of either a car or a sedan. When had he ever ridden a horse?
"Where are the people?"
"Reporting to uncle, the emperor said that he went to Xichang."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jin turned pale and pointed at Liu Erhan's nose and cursed: "I have asked you to try to stay as emperor, but you can't even do such a small thing! If it weren't for the trouble you caused,
How could things come to this!"
Liu Erhan didn't expect that Liu Jin would suddenly become so angry that he was confused for a while. After a while, he argued aggrievedly: "Uncle, this really doesn't concern me. It's just that Yutangchun and Yi Shengjin mother and daughter fell out.
, the first lawsuit is worth a fortune..."
"Shut up! If you hadn't been obsessed with getting Yutangchun here, how could Yutangchun have been in trouble now if he didn't know you were our nephew?" Liu Jin cursed, feeling grateful in his heart.
He placed confidants around his nephews, and they came back to report the news in time, otherwise it would be too late. Thinking of this, he pointed at Liu Erhan angrily and scolded, "Why are you still standing there, get back home quickly."
Go, if you dare to wander outside these days, we will break your legs!"
Liu Erhan was scolded so much that he drooped his head, but his eyes were carefully paying attention to the people Liu Jin had brought. He found Qian Ning following Liu Jin with a terrifyingly gloomy face. He saw that Liu Jin brought him with him after scolding him.
Everyone hurriedly turned around and headed towards Lingji Hutong. He stood there frozen for a while, and gradually began to have some concerns in his heart.
If this was just for the sake of Yutang Chun suing for a piece of gold to murder someone, why would Liu Jin be so nervous? It was obviously because of the copper pipe thing. But whoever his uncle was, of course it was impossible for him to do such a thing on his own.
Qian Ning is the one who comes forward. Please note that Xiaolou Mingyue, the money tree raised by Zhongjin, is Qian Ning's concubine!
Damn it, after all the fuss, he didn’t get any benefits but got himself into trouble, and he even got such a scolding for nothing!
"Qian Ning, just wait, we are at odds with each other!"
Although Xu Xun and Zhu Houzhao took the lead, Liu Jin and Qian Ning were galloping all the way, and Qian Ning led Liu Jin to take a shortcut, so in the end the two groups met at the gate of the West Factory. Liu Jin rolled his saddle and dismounted quickly.
Bu rushed to the side of the carriage, reached out to open the door himself, and helped Zhu Houzhao down. Then he said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty walked really fast. This servant hurriedly walked slowly along the way. It was so hard."
Just caught up here..."
As soon as Zhu Houzhao jumped off the carriage, he said angrily: "You know how to join in the fun, and you came all the way here this late at night. The yard in Xichang is not big, and no one will provide you with supper!"
Gu Da, who was coming out, glanced at Liu Jin and Qian Ning with a half-smile, and then said with a smile: "As the emperor said, although Xichang is a place as big as a hand, now that everyone is here, how can the servants not entertain them well?
"
Xu Xun saw Qian Ning avoiding his eyes unnaturally, not knowing that he had guessed correctly. He immediately walked up to Gu Dayong and asked bluntly: "Eunuch Gu, did you take the person first?"
Come back, what has been found in the trial now?"
"If I don't even have this ability, wouldn't my position as the factory owner of the West Factory be in vain?" Gu Dayong pouted at Zhong Hui, and when he saw Zhong Hui coming up with a confession, he smiled.
He gently flicked the thin piece of paper with his fingers and said, "I took her to Yi Zhengjin's yard once, and saw that those people had already dug in. Not long after returning to the West Factory, I
After coaxing her to say that the first skeleton had been dug up, she immediately began to beg for mercy in every possible way. As soon as she asked, she wanted to give me five thousand taels of silver. She hoped that I would let her go. Seeing me showing the torture instrument, she opened her mouth.
, at first he insisted that those people had died of illness, but after he got injured, he immediately started to suffer from everything. As for the copper pipes..."...
Gu Dayong deliberately drawled a long note. Although Liu Jin tried his best to stay calm, he could still tell that he was a little unnatural. He was about to speak with a smile when Qian Ning suddenly said: "Report to the emperor,
A concubine in Wei Chen's family was exactly the one who was favored by Zheng Zhongjin in the past. After joining my family, I also interacted with her several times. If we want to verify Zhong Jin's crimes and misdeeds now, it is better to put her
Call me and ask."
"Um?"
Zhu Houzhao was stunned when he heard this, and was about to speak, but Gu Dayong suddenly laughed and said: "I still thought that this scale of gold could not bribe me with money, so I said Mr. Qian's name. He said it was his own.
My daughter married Mr. Qian. I wonder why I didn’t know about such a thing, but it turns out that she is just a concubine! If you ask me, this is just a way for her to put money on her face, and she is not her daughter. Even if she is a kiss,
If you sell your daughter as a concubine, you will end the relationship between mother and daughter. How can anyone argue with this?"
If it was Xu Xun who was speaking, Liu Jin could still chatter and laugh, but at this time, although Gu Dayong was smiling, there was already a certain meaning in it, and Liu Jin couldn't help but hesitate. Talking about those things in the East Palace.
Among the eunuchs, the one he had the best friendship with was Gu Dayong. It could be said that he was too fat to wear a pair of trousers. Even after everyone became prosperous, others had many tricks up their sleeves. Although Gu Dayong was close to Xu Xun
, but let alone adding insult to injury to him, he even often suppresses and suppresses people like Qiu Ju who are jumping up and down. If he really doesn't give Gu Da face, so he completely pushes people to Xu Xun's side, this is not worthwhile.
Seeing that Liu Jin didn't speak, Qian Ning couldn't help but feel that his back vest was sticky. When he looked at Xu Xun as if asking for help, he found that Xu Xun was also holding his hands and saying nothing. He suddenly felt as if his heart was hanging in mid-air.
How uncomfortable it is. Goodbye Gu Da looked at himself sharply, remembering that the expert factory had stolen a lot of limelight from the west factory and the east factory, and also extended his hands to the fields on both sides. He couldn't help but become more and more uneasy and worried.
Gu Dayong directly exposed himself.
This weird atmosphere did not last long. Gu Dayong suddenly yawned, and then said to Zhu Houzhao with a face full of fear: "Oh, it was all because of my negligence that I actually talked to the emperor at this gate... Inside the emperor
Please, Mr. Liu and Uncle Bei are also invited, Zhong Hui, go and get the best tea and spring water!"
At the critical moment, Gu Dayong suddenly made this move. Qian Ning almost didn't vomit blood. He saw Liu Jin and Xu Xun, one on the left and one on the right, surrounding Zhu Houzhao as they entered. It was only then that he realized that his ability to play both sides was like ice and fire.
But at this moment, if the incident really happened, Liu Jin denied it, and Xu Xun left it alone, he would fall into the abyss in an instant. So, even if he had to bite the bullet, he could only follow it.
Although Gu Dayong tried to delay, he really made Zhu Houzhao sit down. He immediately ordered a scale of gold to be brought up. Seeing the pale woman with her hands wrapped in gauze huddled up below, he
Then he said with a half-smile: "Your Majesty, although this bitch is ruthless, I had people torture her. Those brass pipes are really her abnormal psychology. She was there to eavesdrop on the girl."
.”
Although Zhu Houzhao is not good at this tone, he already understands the things between men and women. He was confused by Gu Da's ramble just now. Now when he heard the final conclusion, his face turned green for a moment. He was fierce.
He glanced at the fat woman who was shaking like chaff, then he slapped the table angrily and said: "That's enough, stop talking, it's really disgusting! When I went out to relax tonight, I encountered such a mess.
I'm so unlucky! I'll tell Dali Temple of the Punishment Department to quickly verify the response and kill this bitch as soon as possible!"
When the little emperor stormed out of the door angrily, Gu Dayong looked at Liu Jin meaningfully and said: "Eunuch Liu, not only this yard that weighs gold, but also the copper pipes in several other places, it's best to let people listen."
Dismantle it quickly. This kind of thing is taboo. Once someone finds out, the result will be more than what happened today! You have to do things step by step. Being so eager for quick success is not like your style, Eunuch Liu!"
