Tibetan beads

Chapter 243
On the school field, Yan Ling was not at all surprised to see her while taking advantage of the riding and archery class.

He said: "My father has suspected Yu Chong for a long time. He has been secretly expanding his power. The marriage partners of his sons are all powerful factions in the court."

"What about King Duan?" Xu Yin asked.

Yan Ling shook her head: "I never noticed him."

Although this King Duan has a good reputation among scholars, he has no real power in his hands, and the emperor has so many sons, who would care about him?
Xu Yin was thoughtful.

"What's wrong?" Yan Ling asked.

"Yu Chong has the military power in his hands, so it's understandable to think about it, why should King Duan?"

Yan Ling was startled, and asked, "Do you suspect that there is someone in his palace?"

Xu Yin nodded.King Duan came from the palace. The previous prince passed away, and King Duan took control of the court during the emperor's serious illness. This cannot be done in a day or two.In terms of time, he is likely to have already laid out the layout by now.

Another side of the evidence is that the father sent the memorial to the capital, reporting the murder of him by the king of Nan'an County, and the other party handled it very well.This is enough to show that he has relevant arrangements in the court, and he can even intervene in how to deal with the memorial.

Yan Ling's thoughts turned, and soon he had a goal, and said with a smile: "I know, I will try it later."

Xu Yin went on to say: "As far as we can see, King Duan wanted to win over Yu Chong, but he has not succeeded. If the two of them are really colluded, the capital will be in danger."

It is very likely that King Duan has already controlled the palace, and with the military power in Yu Chong's hands, the two will really collude, and the throne will be changed.

At that time, the capital will be in turmoil again, which is not a good thing anyway.

However, their forces are not here, and they have more than enough heart but not enough power.

The two looked at each other, and a thought appeared in their hearts at the same time.

"Is that what you think?" Yan Ling asked in a low voice.

Xu Yin nodded slightly: "However, some things need to be arranged in advance."

"Don't worry," Yan Ling frowned, "Let's take our time."

……

In the back kitchen tea room of Deyi Restaurant, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl is lighting a fire.

A voice came from the yard: "Is anyone there? The firewood is collected."

The little girl put down the fire stick, wiped her hands, and ran out quickly: "Yes."

The man in the bamboo hat picked up the firewood and said, "The shopkeeper asked me to deliver the firewood. Is this here?"

The little girl nodded: "It's here, please put it over there."

"Okay!" The man carried the firewood into the firewood shed.

"Miss San specially asked me to come to see you." He said in a low voice while unloading the firewood, "You have done a good job and made great contributions."

The little girl's eyes were pleasantly surprised: "Really? Is the news useful?"

"Yeah." It was Chai Qi who came to deliver the firewood. While vigilantly observing his surroundings, he sent a message to Xiao Sang, "Now there is a new task."

Xiao Sang looked excited: "What is it?"

"Think of a way to let the big fish know that the little shrimp has a suspicious origin."

Xiao Sang's mind was running fast, and he asked, "What's the goal? Xiao Xia has ulterior motives? Or is it leading to that person?"

"Lead to that one. But Miss San said, let him find out by himself, so you can't make it too obvious."

Xiao Sang frowned, feeling that this was a bit difficult.

Seeing her in trouble, Chai Qi reminded softly: "If you can't do it, don't force it. Your safety is more important."

He paused for a moment: "This is my idea, and it is also Miss San's request."

Someone came from outside, and the two stopped communicating. Xiao Sang sent him out and said, "Thank you brother, please go to the shopkeeper to get the money."

Chai Qi nodded and walked away carrying the pole.

Xiao Sang went back to light the fire, and when the rough work was done, the sky also darkened.

Deyi Restaurant has a front building and a backyard. The front building is for ordinary individual customers, while the backyard is a more secret box, mainly entertaining various dignitaries.

The back kitchen serves meals for the guests in the backyard. It is not busy at ordinary times, and it is not until nightfall that there is work one after another.

When Xiao Sang saw that familiar girl coming in, her thoughts moved.

I just heard the girl say: "Prepare a table of noodles and send them to Fangfei Pavilion. The taste is stronger. If you want salty taste, pick out the shredded ginger..."

The steward nodded again and again: "Yes, we will prepare right away."

The ingredients in the back kitchen are all prepared, the chef moves quickly, and in a short time, a table of noodles is ready.

Xiao Sang mixed with a group of maidservants and went over to serve the dishes.

The steward didn't notice her, there are many little girls like her in the backyard.

So she took the dishes, followed a group of maids, and quickly entered an attic.

But she didn't see the guests here, the maids had already put the food and wine on the table.

She could only follow suit and then leave.

At this time, a voice came from inside: "Wait."

A group of maidservants stopped.

The girl said: "Leave someone to wait outside the door, remember to stay away, don't come in if you have nothing to do."

Xiao Sang's eyes lit up, she answered yes, and quickly stood outside.

The other maidservants looked at each other and finally left.

Xiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, most of the maids in the restaurant signed a contract of employment, and they were not as well-defined as in the family. Otherwise, she had just arrived, so she wouldn't have the turn to serve her closely.

The banquet started, and she heard muffled chatter and laughter from inside, but unfortunately she was standing far away and couldn't hear the content clearly.

There were orders from time to time, and it was the girl who came out to pass on the message, or twisted a towel, or asked for a vinegar plate, and then she brought it over and brought it in herself.

Then, the sound of cups and cups stopped, and ambiguous sounds came from the room from time to time.

After a long time, the voice finally stopped, and the girl came out to send a message: "Bring hot water."

Xiao Sang hurriedly answered yes, and went out to call for someone.

After a fuss, the girl said: "Okay, you can go back!"

Xiao Sang suppressed the urgency in her heart, said yes, and slowly left the attic.

Judging from the time in the past, that person will leave before the third watch, and now at the first quarter of the second watch, there is still half an hour.

How do we do this?According to what the senior brother said, the reminder must be very subtle, and it is best not to disturb the mission target.But the other party was on such tight guard that she never had the chance to meet Big Fish alone.

Xiao Sang was walking all the way, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.

She hurried back to the room, took out her pen and ink, and wrote a note.

Then take this note and wait patiently in the hiding place outside the attic.

After a while, there was movement from inside, it seemed that the person was about to leave, so Xiao Sang acted like he was in a hurry, and hurried to this side.

When she saw the figure with the entourage, she stepped aside and waited with her head down.

When they passed, she went straight into the attic.

"Sister Xiaotao." Xiaosang called out from the yard, the volume of her voice was just enough for people outside to hear the ending.

The girl came out and looked at her suspiciously: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Sang walked up to her quickly, leaned over and whispered: "The tea soup recipe my sister gave me the day before yesterday was accidentally lost in the kitchen, can I trouble you to give me another one?"

The girl frowned and scolded: "How do you do things? You can even throw this away?"

Xiao Sang apologized again and again, and said: "It's because we are not good at handling things, so I ask my sister to make it easier for me to give it again."

The girl glared at her impatiently: "Wait!"

She turned and went back to the room, came out after a while, handed over the newly written prescription in her hand, and warned: "If you lose it again, don't blame me and tell your boss!"

Xiao Sang smiled apologetically, "Yes, thank you sister for being magnanimous."

She took the recipe out of the attic, looked around to see if there was no one there, picked a remote path, and soon reached a corner.Then stuff the ball of paper into a thin bamboo tube and hide it behind a brick.

After she left, two figures came out from the darkness.

"General?" Someone called out in a low voice.

In the shadows, Yu Chong folded his hands behind his back and frowned: "Go and see."

"Yes."

The attendant opened the brick, pulled out the bamboo tube that had just been hidden, and took out a note from it.

He handed the note to the master, and blew on the fire note himself.

Under the light of the fire, I saw a line of words written on the note: "If his ambition is to reach the sky, what should he do?"

　a bit slow.
