Tibetan beads

Chapter 144 Eavesdropping
Opposite the teahouse, Xu Yin was sitting on a tree, staring at the door, and eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

"It tastes good, doesn't it? The old man in the post house made it himself, and I specially asked him to add an extra spoonful of honey!" Yanling's triumphant voice came from his ear. He got up early in the morning to toss the osmanthus tree, which came in handy up.

Xu Yin swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and said, "Yes."

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake with extra honey is a bit greasy, but this is the boy's wish.

After eating the cakes, there was movement in the teahouse.

The first one came out was a boy, holding a tea bag in his hand, with his head down, unable to see clearly, he turned into the alley after leaving the teahouse, and soon disappeared.

After a long time, several waves of guests came in and out of the teahouse, and Miss Wei Si, who was wearing a fence, finally came out and left in the car quietly.

"How do you know they meet here?" Xu Yin asked.

Yan Ling was a little proud: "It's also a coincidence that when I was exploring around the palace, I happened to see a young servant sneaking out, so I followed him all the way, and saw him handing a note into the Wei residence."

"Oh."

Yan Ling was puzzled: "Why aren't you surprised at all? Second Young Master Li and Miss Wei Fourth, this combination is very interesting!"

Xu Yinxin said, what's so surprising about what she already knew?The key is what Li Da and Miss Wei Si said, but they can't go into the teahouse to listen, so they will startle the snake.

Yan Ling continued: "You talk about this, what will happen if Li Shizi knows? Before your sister came, Miss Wei Si was the number one candidate for his fiancée."

Thinking about it this way, Li Shizi's head is really green!

Both of them couldn't help laughing.

Xu Yin sighed: "People are really strange. Li Shizi is better than Li Ergongzi everywhere. This Wei Si actually abandoned Li Shizi and chose Li Ergongzi."

Yan Ling said: "That's because there is no hope! Your sister is here, and it is obvious that Li Shizi will not want her. It's fine if there is no fish and shrimp!"

Xu Yin didn't answer.She was talking about the past life, when her sister didn't come to Jiangdu, Wei Si and Li Da still worked together.Maybe Li Wen didn't choose her in his previous life?
This is not impossible, Li Wen is a normal person, maybe he saw the clue and chose another lady, so Wei Si has no choice, if he can't become the imperial concubine, then he can change to another imperial concubine.

In short, when the matter has come to this point, the situation in Dongjiang is gradually going back to the track of the previous life. As long as Li Da and Wei Si's conspiracy is stopped in time and Li Wen is spared, these two evil thieves can get a reward in this world. Don't want to have the scenery of the previous life again!

The people he was following had all left, so Xu Yin wanted to go back.Just as he was about to slide down the tree, Yanling suddenly pulled him back.

He lowered his voice, hissed, and motioned her to look out: "Look over there."

The teahouse was remote, and there were not many customers at first, but now it was getting late, and there was no one in the lobby.The shopkeeper ordered someone to tidy up the shop, but he himself changed into inconspicuous clothes, went out to look left and right, and went to another alley.

Yanling and Xu Yin looked at each other, first jumped off the tree, then pulled her down, and quietly followed.

The shopkeeper was quite vigilant, stopping from time to time to check on the situation.Fortunately, both of them are good at tracking, so he didn't find out.

After a while, the shopkeeper turned into an alley, and a pungent smell rushed over.

Xu Yin's spirit shivered.

Fishy smell, here is the fish market!
What is he doing at the fish market? It's so late, he won't be here to buy fish, right?

The shopkeeper got into a fish shop, Xu Yin was hesitating, Yan Ling gave her a hand, climbed up to the roof from the next yard, and carefully touched the top of the shop.

Yan Ling stretched out her hand to touch the roof, and with some ingenuity, she loosened one of the tiles, and the voices in the room could be heard in a low voice.

"...the fish took the bait?"

"Yes. This little fish has a bigger appetite than we imagined. Not only does it want to swallow the big fish, it also wants to swallow the old turtle."

"Hehehehe," a few low laughs came from the room, "this is called God's Blessing. If it weren't for this little fish, we still don't know where to open the hole."

"Yeah! I've been here for several years, and I only got some innocuous news, and I don't have the face to go back to see the master."

"That's all right now, if things come to pass, we can go back in style."

The voice in the room dropped, as if something was conspiring.

Xu Yin tried his best to listen, but only fragmentary sounds could be heard.

"...Wangjiang Tower..."

"...Autumn Banquet..."

The cold wind blew by, and her heart was also icy cold.

After a long time, the conspiracy in the room finally stopped, and the voice relaxed a little.

"That old turtle is very lucky. Although there is only one son, he is worth as much as other family's children and grandchildren."

"The most difficult thing to deal with is the Overlord Crab. He can't cross the river without him."

"Fortunately, God sent such an opportunity. That kid has no one under his command. He found us, and he has spent the past few years in business."

"Work hard, and after completing this ticket, you can go back."

There was a drink in the room, and then there was the sound of walking.

Before Xu Yin could figure out how to leave, Yan Ling dragged him down the next door lightly.

After a while, the shopkeeper came out of the house, looked around vigilantly, made sure there was no one, and strode away.

Everything returned to calm, and the two slowly left the fish market and returned to the street.

Walking all the way silently, Yan Ling kept turning her head and staring at her, hesitating to speak.

Xu Yin squinted at him: "What are you doing? Just say what you want!"

Yan Ling hesitated for a moment, then said, "The matter is more complicated than I imagined, and I haven't thought it through yet."

Xu Yin laughed "puchi", and glanced over: "You are honest."

She could tell that the two people in the room were Jiang Bei's secret agents.The old turtle is the King of Dongjiang, the big fish is Li Wen, the small fish is Li Da, and the overlord crab is naturally Yang Gu.

Jiang Yi has his eye on Dongjiang, and has sent secret agents a few years ago.This time, although it is Li Da's wolfish ambition, Jiang Yi's handwriting is also involved.

Dongjiang has always been a prosperous place, and the Li family has been in business for a hundred years, so its influence is not insignificant.

If Dongjiang and Jiang Yi fight, Zhao Guogong sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight, maybe he will benefit.

From the standpoint of the family, Yanling was naturally a little hesitant as to whether or not he should help.

"Then you want to help Jiangbei?" Xu Yin looked at him with a smile.

Yan Ling shook her head without even thinking about it: "What are you doing to help Jiang Yi? He is much more difficult than Dong Jiang."

Jiang Yi is just a more refined Wu Zijing, besides, Jiangbei is only close to Guanzhong.

Xu Yin said: "Since you don't help Jiangbei, why hesitate? No matter what the Dongjiang River is, it is limited by the terrain and cannot cross the river. Jiangbei is the enemy of your Yan family. If Jiang Yi gets his way now , he turned his head and wiped out Dongjiang, and he is going to deal with you."

Yan Ling glanced at her: "You really think so? Didn't you think about your sister?"

Xu Yin said confidently: "Of course it's for my sister, but it's not bad for you either!"
