Chapter 93
"but what did you find out?" Xiao Zhige asked.
The scout bowed slightly and talked about the clues he had found in these days.
In order to better stare at Yizhuang and get deeper information, the scout disguised himself as a silly man with a bad brain and was sent by his father to Yizhuang to apply for a job. All the bodies parked in Yizhuangli were bodies that could not be buried for the time being. they all looked ghastly during the day, and they did dirty work, so it was always difficult to recruit a man. the spies dressed up meticulously and then applied for enlistment. seeing that he was not good in his brain, but his hands and feet were still sharp, he was recruited in.
There are not many people alive in Yizhuang, but there are many corpses. Every day, all he did was to count the corpses or bury the unclaimed corpses that had begun to decompose badly, because the spies were deliberately silly and dull, and their tongues were not clever, and they did all the dirty work. This silly and careless look soon eliminated the vigilance of the steward and began to ask him to work by his side.
This steward is called Sun Xinshi, the one who dealt with the body of the Jane Doe in the East Palace in the middle of the night. After the disguised scout gained his trust, he did not act rashly and bided his time.
Sure enough, half a month later, Sun Xinshi took him to see his eldest brother Sun Xinmin.
The younger brother Sun Xinshi is in charge of Yizhuang, while his elder brother Sun Xinmin is a personal tooth. He runs a small dental shop and specializes in finding servants for those rich and noble families.
Sun Xinshi took him there to pick people.
Sun Xinmin took them to an old house in an alley, where there were several big men guarding it, but two very good-looking twin sisters were locked up in the main house. Sun Xinshi was very satisfied at that time and immediately settled the money. He also asked the spies to get the two sisters into an inconspicuous carriage and then took them back to Yizhuang.
When the spies took the sisters into the carriage and found each other weak, they knew that they should have been drugged. So it's even more skeptical. When dental firms buy and sell, either poor families voluntarily sell themselves as slaves, or they are sold by the government after they have committed a crime. But the sisters do not look like voluntary sellers, but rather like a good woman who has been abducted.
After returning to Yizhuang, the sisters were locked up in an empty morgue in the innermost corner. Usually there is a lock and no one is allowed to set foot there. After the person is locked up, the scout delivers the meal every day. Medicine was added to the meal, but the two sisters were in a daze all the time.
About five days later, in the middle of the night, a carriage crept to the side of Yizhuang. The scout was ordered by Sun Xinshi to ban Rest this day and waited in the house in the middle of the night. Sun Xinshi took the lantern and asked him to go to Guanren's house.
The spies were told to carry the sisters out and take them to the carriage. The driver was not young, his face was covered with wrinkles, but his chin was bare. Although his voice was deliberately lowered, he still showed a sense of sharpness. The spies could see at a glance that he was an eunuch, and most of them were eunuchs from the Eastern Palace.
The eunuch gave Sun Xinshi a bag of silver and drove away. Sun Xinshi turned around and gave the scout another ingot of silver, told him not to talk nonsense, and then went back to the house to have a rest.
While the scout took advantage of the night, he crept out of Yizhuang and followed the carriage. As expected, the carriage entered the East Palace through the side door. The security of the East Palace has become more and more stringent recently, and he dared not follow him rashly. He could only find a way to send a message to the other spies lurking in the East Palace the next day, confirming that there were two new beauties in the East Palace, and he dared not delay, so he immediately found an excuse to leave Yizhuang and came back to report.
"his subordinates speculated that the body of the Jane Doe probably came from the same origin as the sisters."
An Changqing and Xiao Zhige looked at each other, and that was the same idea.
As the prince of a country, Ji's concubine had to be innocent, that is, Shi Liangdi, who came from the worst family, and her mother's family was also rich in the south. The dead Jane Doe didn't make any waves after her death, and she obviously didn't have any family background. And the grandson is in charge of doing things skillfully, obviously doing these things for the first time from time to time. The dead woman can not be the maidservant of the East Palace. Although the status of these maidservants is humble, but if they do not see one from time to time, it is difficult to hide it, and it is also bad for the reputation of the prince when it gets out.
It is these women from the folk family is the best control, helpless can only rely on the prince, even if the unknown death, no one will care.
"are there any other discoveries in Yizhuang?" An Changqing asked again.
"No. Sun Xinshi was so cautious that others in Yizhuang did not know that he acted in private. The subordinates of the incinerator also went to see it, and the bones were completely burned, leaving only ashes. "
Xiao Zhige meditated for a moment and asked, "how are the two sisters now?"
"according to the news that Kui er found out, the two sisters seemed to have a strong temper and committed a crime as soon as they got here. They are now being locked up in the hospital, and the old Mammy goes to teach the rules every day."
Xiao Zhige meditated for a moment and soon came up with a countermeasure. Tell the spies to go back to Yizhuang first and lurk.
An Changqing twisted her eyebrow and said in disgust, "at least he is a king of a country, and he has unexpectedly used such a means, and he does not know how many people have been harmed."
"if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. He won't be free for much longer. " Xiao Zhige said, "I subpoenaed Kui er to pay attention to the two sisters. if she is really a fierce woman, she can help and take the opportunity to expose the matter.". "
After returning from Yuzhou, Emperor Anqing waved a big hand to avoid Xiao Zhige's meeting and told him to have a good rest on the grounds that he was involved in the long journey. Although Xiao Zhige did not go to the court meeting, he could not hide the news from him. For example, Emperor Anqing was still thinking about the benefits of the promise of Xili and raised the matter at the imperial meeting.
Of course, the officials on the side of the third prince were full of support, but the remaining half were in unanimous opposition.
The prince's henchmen did not want to make the third prince too proud-after Shu Ling cleared his name, Shu Guifei returned to favor again, and the third prince was often called to teach political affairs by the Emperor Anqing.
There are also several old courtiers headed by Ji Anmin and Shen Tu Kui, who are devoted to the sake of Emperor Anqing, and do not approve of sending troops hastily.
I heard that Emperor Anqing lost his temper on the spot at the meeting, and then left in a huff. don't know if was so angry that got sick the next day, and the digital doctor took many days to get better. But when they said goodbye, they found that his face was much older and more depressed than before.
Xiao Zhige, who did not have to go to Korea, was happy and comfortable, and went out to enjoy the scenery with an Changqing and his two children every day, as if he knew nothing about the affairs of the DPRK and did not care about it at all.
The weather was so hot that the two did not go out. An Changqing and her brother and sister sat in the pavilion to enjoy the cool. In the open space in front of the pavilion, the king of the Northern War changed into a rough cloth, rolled up his narrow sleeves to his elbows, and was holding an axe against several logs against the scorching sun.
The last time they went out to play, they accidentally saw a simple swing in the courtyard of ordinary people, with the child sitting on the swing and his father pushing behind. When Xiao Zhige saw it, he came back and said that he would make a swing for his brother and sister.
An Changqing said that he asked the craftsman to do it, but he was not willing to do it. He tossed about all the wood and tools, and was ready to do it himself.
He insisted on doing it himself, and an Changqing didn't bother to stop it. The king of the Northern War was sweating and chopping wood in the scorching sun, and the princess of the Northern War sat in the pavilion eating melons and fruits and watching him work.
Brother and sister have been able to crawl everywhere, small arms and legs move up and climb very fast. Although the speech is not clear, but can vaguely "Ye Ye" to call Dad. At this time, when I saw my own father working outside, her black eyes turned and stared at her. Xiao Anzhu was even more excited and pulled her hands and feet so hard that she almost turned from the cot to the ground.
Xiao Zhige chiseled the wood into a suitable groove, wiped a handful of sweat at will, subconsciously turned back, and looked at an Changqing's obvious lively eyes. He squinted slightly, dropped the wood in his hand, strode into the pavilion and sat down next to an Changqing on purpose.
An Changqing moved away in disgust: "he stinks of sweat."
After a pause, he said, "fortunately, it was in my own house, otherwise outsiders would have thought that the king of the Northern War had been reduced to doing long-term work."
In order to facilitate the work, the man wore a rough cloth shorting, the sleeves were rolled up, the lines of the exposed forearms were strong and smooth, and the unwiped beads of sweat congealed at the protruding Adam's apple, and the eyebrows and eyes were still handsome, but added a bit of roughness. And wild.
Like a beast that has untied the shackles of etiquette and rules, the whole body is full of the smell of aggression.
An Changqing couldn't help taking a look, and the tip of her ear was a little hot. She pretended to take back her eyes calmly and proudly raised her chin and said, "come on, pour this Young Master a cup of tea first."
Xiao Zhige readily accepted good advice and poured him tea. After that, I looked at myself, and I really made a lot of progress. He smiled carelessly and said in an ambiguous tone, "if you are in a big house, a long-term worker as brave and handsome as I am would be the most popular with the young master of the main family."
"Why?" An Changqing, who had never heard of this statement, was a little vigilant and curious.
Xiao Zhige flashed narrow-minded in his eyes and whispered to his ear, "because the long-time worker is used to doing rough work, he has a good strength to make the young master comfortable.". "
"."
An Changqing did not speak for a long time, but his ears were burning red.
Xiao Zhige smiled maliciously: "Master, do you still have to summon slaves to serve tonight?"
An Changqing, who had returned to his mind, glared at him, and then looked back to see the brother and sister lying together on the fence of the wooden bed to look at them, and felt even more ashamed. He kicked his calf with a straight face and put on a naughty face and said, "do your work, and then you'll be idle and lazy. I won't give you anything to eat at night!"
Xiao Zhige could not help laughing, looking very happy. The two children did not understand what their dads were doing, but when they saw their own father laughing, they also giggled.
……
After a busy noon in the pavilion, Xiao Zhige finally disposed of all the wood, and the rest was to put the wood together and fix it with ropes. We can't do this in one day, so we can only do it in our spare time.
After taking a bath, Xiao Zhige changed into clean clothes and came out, and he saw the concierge come in and spread the word that General Shu came to visit.
"Why is he here all of a sudden?" An Changqing frowned. They were not close to the Shu family.
Xiao Zhige can't figure it out, but he can't do anything. He asked the concierge to invite someone in and said, "you'll know when you see it."
Shu Ling was slowly walked in with the help of his subordinates. seeing Xiao Zhige and an Changqing, he first arched his luggage and said with a laugh, "this presumptuous visit is to thank Prince for saving his life." As he spoke, the servants of the same trade praised thank you gift to come forward.
Shu Ling stopped talking with no sign of rusty, and continued with a smile: "as soon as I was better, I came as soon as I could get up." Your Majesty, don't blame me for taking the liberty of visiting. "
Xiao Zhige doesn't think he knows him very well. Shu Lingting is not the kind of person who will be grateful. He always gets up early without profit: "General Shu doesn't seem to have come specially to say thank you for everything." If you have anything to say, just say it. The king doesn't like to beat around the bush. "
Shu Ling stopped smiling slightly, reluctantly picked up the mood, and sighed a long sigh: "Prince has the grace to save my life. I have been suffering from sleep over and over again these days, but I still feel that I can no longer hide this from Prince, otherwise I feel guilty and uncomfortable in my heart."
He pretentiously hammered his chest and looked carefully at the expressions of Xiao Zhige and Xiao Zhige.
Xiao Zhige frowned slightly between his eyebrows, inexplicably irritated, and his tone became more and more bad: "what is General Shu trying to say?"
Shu Ling looked at an Changqing for a moment and hesitated and said, "this is all about the concubines. Does the princess want to avoid it?"
Li concubine is Xiao Zhige's biological mother. An Changqing's heart jumped, and she heard Xiao Zhige's voice sink: "it's not necessary!"
Shu Ling was rebuffed and had to skip the words and moan hypocritically: "this has been hidden in my heart for many years. Prince knows that Li concubine at that time." As a matter of fact, it is not suicide. "

Counseling; am I the most handsome and capable long-term job?
