Jinyi champion

Chapter 40
"A child, as for?"

The voice is unfamiliar.

"Why not? As long as you can do meritorious service in front of the Marquis, you will be appreciated by Yuan Changshi. Don't you want to be a royal guard and receive a salary?"

The two discussed for a long while, but did not come up with a result.

The sound of "哗啦" and "哗啦" sounded, followed by a smell of urine. Zhu Hao was startled for a moment, then shook his head. The two guys actually had a discussion on the spot when it was convenient. It seemed that they had drunk a lot of wine before, otherwise He also wouldn't talk about such secret things outside, and he just happened to overhear them.

Zhu Hao thought about it, did they come here to scare him on purpose?But then he denied this idea... It seemed that they didn't know that they were hiding aside.

After Jian Maoying and his companions left, Zhu Hao was worried that his life would be threatened when he saw another person walking out from the gap in the wall on the other side.

Someone actually hid behind the aisle wall in advance and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two?

This really surprised Zhu Hao.

He was hiding in a high place to watch, but he didn't expect someone to be hiding in the dark. Fortunately, he didn't move rashly just now, and he wasn't noticed by this person. The other party was very cautious, and he waited for the person to leave for a long time before coming out of the dark He showed up everywhere, but still walked close to the wall. This kind of vigilance seemed to be a professional intelligence background, and Zhu Hao really felt ashamed.

Zhu Hao was glad that he was hiding in the dark on the roof, if he had made a slight move just now, he would have lost the initiative.

The black shadow walked out against the base of the wall, and didn't pass the windproof tung oil lamp. Zhu Hao didn't know anything about it except that it was a burly figure.

"Crisis looms."

Zhu Haoming realized that he entered a wolf's den, surrounded by wolves, tigers and leopards.

It is a certainty that Jian Maoying is an enemy with himself, even if the black shadow is an enemy or a friend, or a third-party force, it is also uncertain.

……

……

That night Zhu Hao didn't sleep all night.

When it was almost dawn, he came down from the roof, and there was no one in the middle.

Coming out of the east gate of King Xing's Mansion smoothly, Zhu Hao felt as if he was reborn as a human being.

Although it has only been a few days since he entered the palace, his mood has grown and his belief has been strengthened in the past few days. He must stay in the palace and become friends and partners with Zhu Houcong as soon as possible.

back home.

I don't want Butler Liu to come to the city early in the morning, waiting to pick Zhu Hao back to Zhu's house.

"Third Madam, since Brother Hao has come back, I will take him back to see the old lady first, and send him back to you before noon."

Butler Liu is different from Zhu Wanjian, he has a deep scheming mind, but he is always a servant, so he has to be respectful to Zhu Niang.

Zhu Niang wanted to care about her son and ask about the daily life in the palace, but she didn't want to be picked up by the old lady's people as soon as they met, but she couldn't do anything about it.

"Xiaohao, go early and come back early."

Zhu Niang's concern was beyond words.

……

……

Butler Liu drove the car, took Zhu Hao out of the city, and came to Zhu's manor.

After entering Zhuangzi, he went straight to the back hall, and saw the old lady Zhu Jiashi, and a man in the official uniform of Jinyiwei. It seemed that he had a relatively high status in Jinyiwei.

"Lin Baihu, my grandson has been brought back, can we discuss things?"

Seeing Zhu Hao, Zhu Jia's attitude was different from the previous indifference and disgust, and she looked proud. Zhu Hao seemed to have become the most important bargaining chip for her to negotiate with Lin Baihu.

Lin Baihu nodded, entered the main room with Zhu Jiashi and Zhu Hao, closed the door, and prepared to talk to Zhu Hao alone.

"Grandson, after you entered the palace, did you see the little prince?" Zhu Jiashi asked as soon as he came up.

Zhu Hao can't say that he didn't even enter the inner house after entering the palace, wouldn't that make him useless?
Zhu Hao said what he had thought up a long time ago: "I have seen it, they are two young men, about the same age, but right now I can't study with them."

Lying should pay attention to half-truths, half-false, to prevent being exposed.

Sure enough, Lin Baihu sneered: "How did I hear that you were arranged to chop firewood after you entered the palace, and you didn't even enter the gate of the inner courtyard of the palace. How did you see the little prince?"

something wrong.

Zhu Hao immediately realized that Lin Baihu had an inside line in Prince Xing's mansion, and he could find out the news inside.

"Lin Baihu, what do you mean, you don't believe what my grandson said?"

It was rare for Zhu Jia to stand by Zhu Hao's side.

There was a playful smile on the corner of Lin Baihu's mouth, it was self-evident, I just didn't believe what this little devil said.

Zhu Haodao: "After I entered the palace, I met two little princes, both of whom were seven or eight years old. There was also a boy, only four or five years old, who seemed to be the child of an official of the palace's ceremonial department. His surname was Lu, and he was also a companion. Read, the other one is the son of the magistrate, but I haven't seen him until now."

"The teacher of the Wangfu, surnamed Sui, is a local recruiter. He once conducted an assessment on us. This time, we just met briefly. If nothing unexpected, we will study with him from now on..."

Zhu Hao knew the Prince Xing's Mansion very well, so it's okay to fool the two people in front of him.

Lin Baihu's facial muscles twitched a few times after hearing Zhu Hao's words, obviously stunned by the information Zhu Hao had found out in a few days.

Zhu Jiashi took the opportunity to ask: "You mean, there are two princes who are about the same age?"

"Yes."

Zhu Haodao, "But not all of them are necessarily princes, maybe only one of them is, they usually live together and are inseparable, it seems that they are really siblings..."

Lin Baihu didn't bother with this question, and asked, "You mean, besides you and the magistrate of Jing County, there is also a child named Lu who was born in the Imperial Guard Department as a companion?"

This attitude made Zhu Hao suspicious.

It shouldn't be a secret that I was selected as a companion with Mr. Jing, but you don't know that Lu Bing is a companion?Jiang Lun said it casually at the time, which shows that the Xing Palace did not hide Lu Bing's selection.

As a member of Jinyiwei, most of you were sent by the imperial court to investigate Xingwang's mansion. You know my whereabouts like the back of your hand, but you don't have the most obvious information?
"He's in the palace now, and he's a little young...Of course, it's also possible that he just entered the palace to play. It's not certain." Zhu Hao wanted to check Lin Baihu's reaction with this remark.

Seeing that Lin Baihu had a strong reaction to the "accompanying reader surnamed Lu", Zhu Jia could not help but smile triumphantly: "Lin Baihu, it seems that the information you have obtained is also insufficient. Now can we tell you that you are in the palace of Xing Wang? Which eyeliner did you plant in exchange for my Zhu family?"

Actually discussed the issue of information sharing.

In front of Zhu Hao, Zhu Jiashi told about Lin Baihu's arrangement of hidden wires in Xingwang Mansion. Zhu Hao was surprised for a while. Could it be that Zhu Jiashi wanted him to be a child and connect with Lin Baihu's dark wires? ?

Lin Baihu's attitude was indifferent: "How to cooperate specifically, let's wait until Lingsun officially studies with the little prince... I still have something to do, so I will leave."

Unexpectedly, he didn't continue to ask Zhu Hao what information he had found, and turned around to leave, indicating that he had obtained the information he wanted.

Lu Bing is the accompanying reader, could it be the information he wants?

……

……

Lin Baihu left, and Zhu Jiashi went to see him off, and when he returned, his face returned to his usual indifference.

"When you were in the palace, besides the two people who might be the little prince, who else did you meet?" Zhu Jiashi only cared about obtaining information.

Completely treat the grandson as a tool man.

Zhu Hao asked back: "Grandmother, my grandson would like to ask, that Lin Baihu should be sent by the court to supervise Xing Wangfu, right? Does he have an eyeliner in the palace? But I don't know who it is?"

"It's none of your business."

Zhu Jiashi looked down on Zhu Hao and didn't want to answer his grandson's question, let alone explain in detail.

Zhu Hao said: "But...grandmother, the grandson has been in the palace for the past few days, and I probably found out that there is someone in the palace's ceremonial guards who is sneaky and often enters and leaves the palace in the middle of the night... I don't know who it is, but it may be Lin Baihu's eyeliner. ?”

The contempt on Zhu Jiashi's face disappeared, and he turned to look at Zhu Hao cautiously.

"What else do you know?"

Zhu Jiashi paid attention to it.

"The grandson needs time to investigate, but right now the grandson wants to know more information about Lin Baihu's eyeliner. Is this person from Jinyiwei, and did his father and son go to Anlu together? Or something happened halfway that made Lin Baihu follow This person's relationship...is not very close, so how about if they are close?"

Zhu Hao has roughly guessed the direction.

Since it is the eyeliner, and ambushed in the palace, he must be from Jin Yiwei.

Why was Lu Bing's companion reading such superficial information concealed, unless Lin Baihu's eyeliner didn't want the young Lu Bing to be in danger...

As a result, Lin Baihu's eyeliner is ready to come out.

Isn't it Lu Bing's father Lu Song?

Lu Song's father, Lu Chi, was the chief banner officer of Jinyiwei back then, and he came to Anlu when King Xing came to Anlu. With such a background to work for Jinyiwei...it is reasonable.

Zhu Jiashi's expression was serious: "Lin Baihu...has he ever looked for you alone?"

Zhu Hao shook his head.

Zhu Jia's brows were tightly furrowed, and he muttered in a low voice: "I don't even think about it...but how do you know so much? No, no, who was Mr. Lu who introduced you to the palace earlier?"

Perhaps Zhu Hao said something beyond Zhu Jia's understanding, which made the old lady start to wonder how Zhu Hao suddenly "opened up"?

"Grandmother, my grandson is just guessing...you mentioned to Lin Baihu just now that he had an eyeliner in the palace, and my grandson guessed that it might have something to do with the guards of the Wangfu Yiwei Division. I guessed it step by step. What did the grandson say?" Zhu Hao said.

Zhu Jiashi thought about it.

Only then can it be explained.

Zhu Jia's tone became a little softer: "Unexpectedly, you have such an ability to observe people's subtleties at such a young age. No wonder you were selected as a companion student in Xingwang's Mansion among so many children without being enlightened."

"Grandmother is overrated."

Zhu Hao quickly showed the humility a child should have.

"You are right. Lin Baihu mentioned that this person has been hiding in the palace for many years, and his son inherited his father's position. Perhaps when his father passed away, he did not inform his son of the court's errands, so that the court has not been able to I learned of its existence, and only recently got in touch..."

"But who it is, Lin Baihu didn't mention it. If you can find out who this person is... it will be a great achievement, and grandma will definitely reward you greatly."
