Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 907

Yancheng Bieyuan

The young master carefully pried off a small piece from the tea cake with a tea knife, and threw it into the boiling water teapot.

He glanced at Master Chu Ran who was reading the letter, chuckled, and asked, "How is it? Is there any interesting news?"

"It's all very interesting." Young master Chu Ran stood up and handed the letter he had read to the young master, "I have to say, stupid people have stupid blessings."

"I don't want to read it, tell me about it, whoever is stupid is lucky?"

"Who else can there be? Those two brothers!" Young Master Chu Ran chuckled, and continued to read the news sent back by the spies, "People from King Jing's Mansion mixed in, and the suspicion between the two of them has been greatly reduced. Not much, at least King Jing’s Mansion helped attract some of the attention.”

"The resentment and obsession of King Jing's Mansion will kill them sooner or later." The eldest young master shook his head, observing the color of the tea soup in the teapot, and put in the other ingredients that were prepared at hand accordingly. "Isn't life going well now? Does he have to sit on that chair to be at ease and to achieve his goal?"

"What's so good about that chair?" Master Chu Ran read all the news, "Xiao Jue sat in that seat, and now life is not as leisurely as ours. One trouble has not been solved, and a lot of troubles follow And finally, he and his little friends should be dying of headaches." He shook his head lightly, "In order to obtain news from Beijing, the people from the Jing Palace sent two spies to the little girl of the Bao family. Dowry. The Bao family is also very secretive, so they were taken to Beijing without even thinking about it. These two families are very intriguing, and it is not easy to be distracted from their respective errands."

"The relationship here is unclear. How many people advised the Yan family not to get married at the beginning, but the old man of the Yan family refused to listen. Now is the time for them to taste the bitter fruit." In the tea bowl, put it in front of Master Chu Ran, "If Xiao Jue wants to save trouble, after finding out the problem, he will completely kill all three families, so that they have no chance to breathe."

"Brother, there are more than three families." Master Chu Ran picked up the tea bowl and blew, "There is another family involved."

"Anything else?" The young master frowned, "Who?"

"Tongwang Mansion." Young Master Chu Ran sighed and rubbed his forehead, "We talked before, and the people and things that we least want to meet, happened to meet all of them, our luck is really great .”

"Why did Prince Tong's Mansion get involved?" The eldest young master was puzzled, "His family doesn't even have any descendants."

"The Yan family is in Tangquan Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Xijing. Didn't they belong to Tongwang's Mansion before? That Zhuangzi was very mysterious when it was first built. Coupled with the messy rumors in the market, if those children are not curious and don't go to investigate It's absolutely impossible."

"What's there to investigate in that house?" The eldest young master raised his eyebrows, "Except for a little more institutions, there is no particularly great value."

"No." Master Chu Ran waved his hand, "The rumor I heard the most was that there was a huge treasure that was hidden by King Tong for Emperor Chongde, but later because the two turned against each other, Emperor Chongde didn't find it until his death. Get this treasure."

"Where did you hear this?" The eldest young master didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "That's not the case at all, Emperor Chongde and King Tong..."

"How is it?" Master Chu Ran's eyes lit up immediately, "Is their relationship particularly bad?"

"Why is the relationship bad?" The eldest young master sighed, "The relationship is very good, very good."

"The two of them...are brothers?"

"It should be counted." The eldest young master nodded lightly, "The two of them just had bad luck. If they were not born in the emperor's family but in an ordinary family, the ending would be completely different. Or maybe they were not born at the end of the previous dynasty. Even if they were born a hundred years earlier, they would not end up in such a tragic end." He sighed again, "The two of them have always had a good understanding and faced all problems together, but, considering the courtiers' concerns, thinking, that’s why they acted as if they were incompatible.”

"What does that mean?"

"Think about it, if you were an important minister in the court, would you be happy to see that the one on the Dragon Throne has the same heart with the prince who holds a heavy soldier?"

"Why not?" Master Chu Ran looked puzzled, "Isn't this very good? Will the courtiers be reconciled to making a mess of porridge in the hall?"

"The courtiers... especially the minds of those civil servants, we don't understand. Not to mention Emperor Chongde and King Tong, even Xiaojue, Haolin, Xiaocha and the others are not silent. But, Xiao Jue won't tolerate them, come one to beat one, come two to beat one pair, just force these people who have nothing to do and have to shut up." The young master raised his eyebrows, "But Emperor Chongde is relatively speaking, his personal temper He is a bit soft, thoughtful, and likes to think wildly, so it is easy to take the words of the ministers to his heart, and he is easy to be depressed when he can't figure it out. And King Tong is a person who will accommodate him and don't want him to be so sad. Therefore, he fully cooperates with what Emperor Chongde said."

"Listen, these two..." Master Chu Ran touched his chin, "It's very ambiguous!"

"Hey, that's right. The real relationship between them is that they can't get what they want, but they also know that it's not the other party's problem, but because of their identities and the situation they are in, they are not allowed to go any further. Yes." The eldest young master looked at young master Chu Ran, "The Tangquan courtyard of the Yan family you mentioned belongs to King Tong in name, but actually belongs to Emperor Chongde. The two of them met in private, basically in the here."

"These two are miserable too!" Young Master Chu Ran shook his head helplessly, "However, how did you know?"

"Remember when you were a child, about five or six years old, we rescued a Taoist with a white beard on the street?"

"Hmm..." Master Chu Ran recalled it carefully, "Is it the old man who fainted from hunger on the street?" Seeing his brother nodding, he shivered, "He won't...it's just... ..."

"Yes, King Tong, the King Tong who survived instead of Emperor Chongde."

"No, the age is not right, he..." Young Master Chu Ran pointed to himself, and then to the Eldest Young Master, "Could it be that he is the same as us?"

"That's right!" The young master showed a wry smile, "Just like us, we don't know how long we will live, and when we will die. The institution in the Tangquan courtyard of the Yan family is indeed hiding something, except for being taken by the little prince. In addition to the large amount of gold and silver that was taken away, there was also that very precious pill."

"There is only one, and Emperor Chongde actually left it to King Tong? Should he be selfless, or too cruel?" Master Chu Ran sighed heavily, and drank some cold tea in the cup, " Let the person I love the most live alone in this world, suffering from lovesickness." He shook his head while talking, "It's too cruel!"
