Chapter 112
Chapter 112
Director Hai felt uneasy. If he wanted to say who the most terrifying person in the palace was, Director Hai would definitely choose Ning Ziheng. In his opinion, this person was even more terrifying than the emperor.
One of the twelve prisons was already Ning Ziheng's lair. In the huge palace, a person was sitting on a pitch-black black iron chair.
Director Hai didn't dare to get too close, so he just knelt down.
"What is Director Hai doing?" A cold voice came, "You and I have the same position now, why are you kneeling down to me?"
"My lord, in front of you, slaves will always have to kneel down." Director Hai said tremblingly.
"Stop joking, get up, Director Hai has really done a great job this time, I called you to congratulate you."
"Don't dare." Director Hai hurriedly stood up, not daring to be disobedient, this person is uncertain, maybe even angry because of his disobedience.
"But betray the old Shangfeng..."
Director Hai's knees that had just stood up straight bent instantly, and he fell to his knees with a plop, almost crying, "The servant is also here to save his life."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if people like Wang Rong don't follow, but whether Wang Rong is dead or has escaped, can Director Hai give me a clear answer?"
Director Hai's spine instantly shivered. Sure enough, this Ning Ziheng was not easy to deceive. After all, his people also died in it.
"Mr. Ning, I really don't know. I felt bad when I was taken out that night, so I took the opportunity to sneak out and didn't know what happened afterwards." Director Hai said eagerly, trembling extremely Timid and afraid of getting into trouble, he babbled about his difficulties for a long time, and finally annoyed Ning Ziheng.
"Then you have to be careful in the future, don't leave the palace easily, you betrayed Wang Rong, if he didn't die, he would definitely come back to take revenge on you. That's all, you should get busy."
Director Hai heaved a sigh of relief, then smiled apologetically, and left quickly.
After Director Hai left, another person appeared beside the black iron chair on the steps, "Master, did Du Yu die for no apparent reason?"
"It's not clear, he died very clearly, it was Wang Rong's hands, but...it was obviously not a dead end, why did Wang Rong take the risk of offending me to kill Du Yu, and finally absconded with money, no matter how stupid he is, It shouldn't be like this, it's not like what he did." Ning Ziheng sneered and flipped through the investigation records, "It's like saying, there is someone behind this who is leading all this, and that idiot Wang Rong... ...probably dead."
"Could it be Haiwei?"
"A person like Haiwei is most greedy for life and afraid of death. If his bottom line is not touched, he will not act recklessly, but...he is very smart this time. He can protect himself wisely in the chaos, which is useful. But things are definitely not as simple as he said."
"Could it be related to the Fourth Prince's fake Xueyuan Pavilion incident last time? Master, didn't you send Du Yu to follow Wang Rong just because you suspected the people around you?"
A coldness flashed across Ning Ziheng's eyes, "Annoyance! People in the royal family will never learn to live in peace."
The people behind him immediately silenced. He knew that whenever the master was like this, he had to be careful, so as not to be affected by anger.
At this time, Chu Lishu finished his breakfast outside and was ready to go back.
He didn't return all night, observing the changes in the incident, and didn't stroll back until the hunting order was issued.
In this game, although there was an accident in the middle and Ning Ziheng was involved, his goal was achieved in the end. Finally, all obstacles on the road to the palace were cleared away.
The only uncertainty is that the person named Xinyue, Xinyue knows too much, if she betrays them, it will directly overturn the whole thing, so she must first find out whether this person should be kept alive.
Chu Lishu asked Lu Yi and Lu Shi to recuperate while he recuperated while investigating Xinyue's affairs. At least he would have time before Xinyue healed up and left the other hospital.
Originally, Chu Lishu thought that Lin Qingyang would give Xinyue to Lin Qinglan, but he guessed that Lin Qingyang's personality would come to him after a day or two.
But three days, three days!
Shun was the only one who sent a message to care about Chu Lishu's injury, and sent a bunch of medicine along the way, but he was nowhere to be seen.This made Chu Lishu feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Chu Lishu couldn't help asking about Lin Qingyang's injury, maybe it was because of the severity of the injury...
Shuncai intended to help the master, saying that the injury had already healed.
Chu Lishu was stunned, unable to ask why he didn't come to see me after he recovered from his injury.
Another day later, Chu Lishu planned to go out to visit the station of the foreign caravan. The station is in the same direction as the other courtyard. If things go well, maybe he can... Chu Lishu was thinking, when he heard Troublesome movements.
Lin Qingxu has trouble walking now, and he is actively doing rehabilitation training in the mansion. It just so happens that when he sees Chu Lishu, who replaces him in the palace as a companion, and who is also with Lin Qingyang, he is very angry. Come.Moreover, Lin Qingxu had always known that Lin Qingyang had something wrong with Chu Lishu, and the relationship between the two had changed, so Lin Qingxu believed that the two of them had been unclear for a long time.
So he immediately taunted: "Hey, I've been seeing you in the mansion recently, why didn't you accompany the second brother? Don't you often go to other courtyards to live for a while? Your cousin runs faster than his own sister. "
Chu Lishu is different now, and there is no need to cooperate with Lin Qingxu in acting, so he chooses to ignore it.
In the end, Lin Qingxu was not reconciled, and he shouted directly: "Oh, I heard that the second brother has been busy recently, and he picked up a dancer from the Western Regions back to the other courtyard. It seems that someone must have been forgotten long ago."
Chu Lishu suddenly chuckled, "If you don't know anything, don't talk nonsense, lest you become a laughing stock."
What do you know, do you know how much your second brother likes me?If you saw it, you wouldn't be able to say such ridiculous things.
Xinyue is just a guest. Three people become tigers, and there are countless fools.
Lin Qingxu smiled and said: "This matter has been spread all over the world. After all, people in Jinfeng Tower said that the only person who can bring the dancers from the Western Regions home is the second brother. After all, it depends on the dancers themselves. How can this be done?" It seems that there are consensual intentions. Everyone rumored that he planned to marry the girl. I didn't expect my second brother to be a man and woman, but that's right. The second brother always wants to start a family and start a business. It is impossible to spend all day with men. It's a good thing to be a fool, what do you think, cousin?"
Chu Lishu was taken aback for a moment, feeling very bored in his heart, but couldn't help but look at Lin Qingxu coldly.
Glancing at it, he turned and left.
Lin Qingxu thought that he had succeeded in angering Chu Lishu, and was proud of it, but suddenly his knee hurt, and he fell down again, and the screams were heard immediately. After training for so long, he returned to before liberation.
Chu Lishu walked out of the gate and was about to get into the carriage when someone stopped him.
A carriage stopped not far away, and the person who stopped him was Yuechen.
Yuechen and Huo Luo came and wanted to invite Chu Lishu out for a drink and a chat.
Chu Lishu wanted to refuse at first, but then she thought of the recent events, knowing that these two people must have news from inside the palace, so she could only turn to their carriage and follow them.
As soon as Chu Lishu got into the carriage, he was met with ridicule from Yue Chen, "What's wrong with you? You have such an ugly face, full of murderous intent."
Chu Lishu was taken aback, "I didn't, I just encountered some troubles before going out."
"Oh, Lin Qingyang is in another courtyard. If he is with you, how can he cause you trouble in the Hou Mansion."
It has to be said that Yuechen was very good at talking, and Chu Lishu was happy to hear it, but he didn't get carried away when he was happy, and he looked at Yuechen impatiently.
Yuechen immediately apologized for laughing, knowing that he couldn't make it funny, he could only say frankly: "Okay, I also heard about Lin Qingyang taking the dancer back to the other courtyard, and it feels a little weird, what's going on, you You should know the inside story, it won’t be what the outside rumors say, there must be a reason.”
"It's just a dancer, it's worth discussing with you, isn't it about the recent tribute reselling case?" Huo Luo suddenly said impatiently.
Huo Luo was habitually silent at first, but when he heard Yuechen started to gossip again, he couldn't help but interrupt.Not long ago, this guy took him to see the dancers of the Western Regions, and he was so excited that he insisted on buying a dancer with money to go back.At this moment, he heard that Lin Qingyang was able to invite a dancer home. He had been nagging in his ears for a long time. At this moment, he still caught Chu Lishu and asked, did he deliberately drag him to find Chu Lishu just for this kind of ruin? something?
Chu Lishu instantly understood why these two people came to him, and directly interrupted what Yuechen was about to say, and said: "If you want to talk about this, I can indeed say something, that night my cousin and I were in Jinfeng Lou, we also met that dancer in Jinfenglou, because we had a good chat and hit it off with each other, so we just invited them back to the mansion as friends. We left very early and didn't know what happened afterwards."
Yue Chen blinked after listening, then turned to look at Huo Luo.
Huo Luo felt that what Chu Lishu had said was very clear, so he nodded his head. As a result, his thigh was pinched fiercely, and Huo Luo was shocked. After all, since that incident, Huo Luo is still very sensitive to the touch below. Yes, and Yue Chen seemed to have noticed this, and it had been a long time since he had fought with him at such a distance, when he suddenly pinched him, Huo Luo felt his thigh muscles tense.
Huo Luo stared at Yuechen, and saw Yuechen staring back at him, "I really admire you, you are here to drag me down."
Huo Luo didn't know why, and felt that Yue Chen was looking for trouble.
Chu Lishu understood but didn't explain. She drank tea slowly and felt better.
In fact, Yuechen just now is not a simple gossip, he must have discovered the coincidence where they are, and Lin Qingyang's abrupt behavior of taking away the dancer. Others can't see the connection. He didn't think about it, so Yue Chen was just habitually probing to show off his intelligence, but was interrupted by Huo Luo and gave Chu Lishu the opportunity.Chu Lishu has explained everything, so what else can Yuechen say.
Soon the three of them came to a restaurant. This restaurant has the famous Pear Blossom White, which is not strong, very suitable for drinking during the day, and there is a limited amount every day.
As soon as the three of them sat down, Huo Luo ordered three jars, and wanted to take a few jars away. The shop waiter first served three jars for the guests, and then dispatched them to take away.
Yuechen couldn't help but said: "Your sister is still young, so you let her drink whatever she wants?"
"What's wrong with the women from our military family's family who cultivated their drinking capacity early?" Huo Luo said indifferently.
"Just get used to her."
Huo Luo opened his mouth, but he still didn't say the familiar words of 'you want to marry my sister'.
Yuechen has already started chatting with Chu Lishu about the follow-up of Manager Wang's absconding incident. In fact, Chu Lishu can tell that Yuechen deliberately came to disclose information to him, and the disclosure was more detailed than before. Chu Lishu also took it seriously. The changes in the palace were as he had expected, but it was a little strange that someone like Ning Ziheng, who was always vindictive and protective, remained silent.
"By the way, Huo Luo and I will be entering the palace soon." Yuechen said suddenly.
Chu Lishu's eyes changed slightly to Shang Yuechen's, and the intersecting eyes seemed to indicate something.
"The two of us will be your teachers in the future." Yuechen said with a smile.
Chu Lishu raised his glass and drank the wine in his hands. The two could have chosen to continue to hide from the world. There was only one reason for doing so, and they were declaring their allegiance to him.
Yue Chen smiled and pulled Huo Luo to toast together, "When the time comes, the palace will take care of each other."
Chu Lishu glanced at them deeply, and finally raised his wine glass and clinked a glass with the two of them.
This time, although he didn't say anything clearly, Yuechen's eyes flickered for a moment, as if suppressing some excitement, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
After drinking this cup, Yue Chen talked about the dancing girl again.
"When I went that time, I met a very interesting dancer. The moon tattoo on her back has a gold border. If you have time, how about we go together tonight?" Yuechen said.
Huo Luo originally heard him say that the dancer was a little disgusted, but when he heard Phnom Penh, he immediately felt wrong. Huo Luo is a general, so he naturally knows the situation of the Zhou country better. It would be simple, how could I be reduced to being a dancer here? Could it be that the dancer that Yuechen insisted on buying that day had gold rims?
Huo Luo was about to ask more carefully, when he heard Chu Lishu say, "Well, it's the one taken away by my cousin."
Now Yuechen and Huo Luo were both surprised, Yuechen laughed and said, "You guys are quicker. Can I see you?"
Chu Lishu's eyes flashed immediately, "That's fine, then I'll take you to another courtyard." As he said that, he wanted to get up, but the waiter from the shop interrupted him when he came in.
"I'm sorry for the guest officer. I just went to count it. Lihuabai doesn't have enough for you to take out. See if you can reduce it."
Huo Luo didn't make things difficult for the waiter at the shop, he ordered two jars, since they were leaving anyway, it was inconvenient to bring more, so the waiter immediately thanked him.
Yuechen said with a smile: "Is your pear blossoms selling so well recently? Usually there are still a lot left at this time."
The shop waiter smiled and said: "It's not that a big customer came today and bought a lot at once, which caused us to have insufficient stock. This is a rare situation, please forgive me."
It's not a big deal, it's okay for a few people to listen to it, but the private seat next to them probably heard the same news, and made a fuss in a bad temper.
This excitement naturally caused others to watch, and the waiter in the shop hurried out to appease the customers. Just as Chu Lishu and the other three were planning to leave, they went out, so they heard nearby customers chatting.
"It's no wonder the shopkeeper. I saw it. Someone bought thirty altars not long ago, so it's not enough."
"Thirty altars, is this a banquet?"
"No, I saw that it was a son coaxing a beauty. The beauty took a sip and said he liked it. He wanted to drink it every day, so he bought thirty altars with a wave of his hand."
"I saw it too. That beauty is quite beautiful, and she doesn't seem to have the appearance of our Great Zhou Dynasty. She is a bit like the Western Regions. She is very beautiful."
As soon as these words came out, the three of them stopped in their tracks. Huo Luo looked at Yuechen, and Yuechen looked at Chu Lishu, and saw that Chu Li said in a blank expression: "I suddenly remembered something, and I will bring you to visit another day other courtyard."
"Hey, we'll see you where you're going." Yuechen suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
Chu Lishu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Yuechen, so he went downstairs directly.
Yuechen pulled the shop clerk to ask the whereabouts of the owners of the thirty altars. The shop clerk recalled it for a while and said, "It seems that I took the girl to the Baixiang Pavilion."
Baixiang Pavilion, the largest marriage fat gouache shop in the capital, is the favorite place for girls, the young master brought the beauties to Baixiang Pavilion, it is very spoiled.
Yue Chen couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and pulled Chu Li to write, "Where are you going?"
Chu Lishu was silent for a moment, "The station of the West Moon Caravan."
"Oh, let's go too. For a moment... I'll take a detour to the Baixiang Pavilion. I want to buy some rouge and gouache for my family. Huo Luo, you want to bring it to your sister too, right?"
Huo Luo watched Yuechen blink desperately, but could only nod in response.
As a result, the three of them had just arrived at the Baixiang Hall when they heard the excitement inside. As soon as they entered the door, they heard a few women say enviously: "That young man just now is really nice, he looks handsome, he speaks eloquently, and he can quote scriptures to incense powder. The coaxing female companions laughed heartily."
"That's right, as long as the girl says she likes it, he will take care of it all. Which family's son is this, so generous."
"Could it be that the newlyweds are traveling, so the honey is mixed with oil?"
"Probably not, that woman looks like a foreigner, and she still has a common bun, so she's not married."
"It's really enviable."
Yuechen saw that Chu Lishu's face had completely darkened beside him, and the two people were nowhere to be seen here, so he suppressed a smile and asked the girls where they were going.
Seeing the question from a handsome young master like Yuechen, the women immediately responded positively.
One of them said: "I heard that girl said that she wanted to eat candied fruit, and the young man next to him said that he would take her to the best candied fruit shop to buy it, so..."
"Thank you." After Yuechen thanked him, he went out ahead of Chu Lishu at this moment, pulling the two of them to catch up quickly, he couldn't wait to watch the fun.
