The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Zhao Huwei was sent away by Zhang Fan with the reason that he wanted to prepare and go later, and here, Zhang Fan also told Wang Meng of his plan.

"My lord says opportunity, I don't really understand the humble position," I heard Zhang Fan say, this time is an opportunity, it seems to be able to verify whether the third princess is the eyeliner of the Five Poison Sect at this end of the palace, but Wang Meng is really a little bit confused about this point. I don't feel at ease, or I don't believe that Zhang Fan has any good way to find out. After all, this kind of thing needs to be done secretly. It's not such a simple question. Besides, you can't just go over and ask For her, wouldn't it be a bad thing if it was exposed, if the third princess was, then Zhang Fan wouldn't be able to use her anymore, if not, Zhu Xuanqi would be suspicious for no reason, and he would have to marry an innocent person.

"I've thought about this matter, and it's actually very easy to do," Zhang Fan said, "It's all thanks to Yingyue,"

"Third Madam." Hearing Zhang Fan mention Yingyue's name, Wang Meng became even more curious. "What does this matter have to do with the Third Madam? Although the Third Madam also stayed in the Five Poison Sect, she may have met this person , but now that Mrs. San is in the capital, I don’t know what your lord means by that.”

"No, no, you misunderstood." Zhang Fan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I really have to thank Yingyue for this matter, but Yingyue does not need to come forward to do anything about this matter. She has already told me, but she just mentioned a method, how to find out, we still need to figure out a way by ourselves, "

"I don't quite understand what my lord said about the lowly position," Wang Meng said frankly. It's not that he's stupid, but Zhang Fan insisted on pretending to be so mysterious, so he couldn't guess it in the end. I taught my lord the method of identifying the eyeliner of the Five Poison Sect, but why did my lord be sure that this eyeliner will definitely be present tonight? I don’t know what the third lady’s method is, but if this person is not here tonight, my lord But how can we find out, if it arouses the suspicion of the prince and the others, wouldn't it be even worse, "

"I've thought about this problem before," Zhang Fan said, "But Yingyue's method is not so easy to arouse others' suspicion. Those who know it will understand it after reading it, but those who don't know it will understand it." I didn’t take it seriously, and I didn’t intend to do it myself, but I found someone to do it.”

"Look for someone, who is your lord looking for to do it?" Hearing what Zhang Fan said, Wang Meng became even more puzzled.

"Isn't Joanna here?" Zhang Fan said, "I'll go and tell her that we need her to help me with this matter."

"Miss Joanna," Wang Meng was even more surprised when Zhang Fan said it was Joanna, "My lord, there is no need to ask Miss Joanna for help with this matter. Wouldn't it be too dangerous for Ms. Joanna to do it..." But Wang Meng's words stopped here, not to say anything else, but because Wang Meng thought of something, he also understood how Zhang Fan was. Innocent people will never be implicated, let alone Joanna. Since Zhang Fan can say this, it means that he must have a plan to keep Joanna away from danger.

"It's meaningless to hide it now," Zhang Fan said, "I'll tell you what's going on." Immediately, Zhang Fan told him the method he thought of, including Yingyue telling him how to identify the five poisons. He told Wang Meng all the methods of human beings.

"It turns out that's what happened." After listening to Zhang Fan's words, Wang Meng suddenly realized, "In this way, even if Miss Joanna does it, there will be no danger at all."

"That's right, I decided to do this after I figured it out," Zhang Fan nodded and said, "But this matter is not only enough for Joanna alone, you also have to help, didn't I just say Well, there is a banquet in the palace at night, you go too, you are at the banquet, watch me, especially the third princess, but you must also pay attention, don't let others find that you have been staring there, if you are exposed , that would be troublesome,"

"My lord, please don't worry, the humble officer understands," Wang Meng nodded and said.

"Since that's the case, it's easy," Zhang Fan said, "I'll talk to Joanna about it."

Today is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, which is the new year, and the so-called small year is the beginning of the whole Spring Festival. Of course, there are some activities in it, in fact, it is just sweeping the year and offering sacrifices to the stove.

But in fact, today is not a small year for the people. There is a so-called "officials, three people, four boats and five families". On the 23th of the twelfth lunar month, it will indeed be the 24th of the twelfth lunar month for those who live on the water.

This is the palace of the king. Although there must be some differences from the government's mansion, the difference in this respect is not that great. So today, the palace of the king of Shu is going to have a new year.

As for year-cleaning, it’s actually nothing more than general cleaning. You have to disassemble and clean everything in the house that can be washed, and the inside of the house, from the roof to the corners, even under the bed and behind the cabinets, has to be removed and cleaned carefully.

It sounds very troublesome, but for ordinary people, it's nothing, at most it's just a day's work, but this is the palace, and it's such a huge Shu palace. It is much bigger, after all, it is a palace, so even if there are vacant rooms in the palace, even if it is a place where no one lives all the year round, it must be cleaned up. If this is the case, the original manpower in the palace is simply not enough Finished within the time, have to stay up all night to work.

But here is also very considerate, working at night and not sleeping well is also a servant's business, but the host and guests should not be delayed because of this, so the first place to clean is naturally the Zhaoming Palace where Zhu Xuanqi lives , and the place where Zhang Fan and his group live, it is necessary to take advantage of one or two hours of dinner at night to clean these places first.

The rest is the sacrificial stove. Although there are many rules about the sacrificial stove, this is not the case in the palace. There are also some unique things, but they are quite exquisite. When Zhang Fan was in the capital, he also experienced this kind of ritual. Xiao Nian, and these things in front of me are comparable to those in the palace, and the degree of delicacy is comparable. Moreover, perhaps because of the different regions, the taste of these foods is even more special. .

However, these are not the main points. In fact, today is just a reason to drink together.

However, after Zhang Fan left, Zhu Xuanqi's arrangement took him by surprise, and almost made his plan go to waste.

Quite a lot of people came to dinner tonight, Zhu Xuanqi's three concubines were all present, and here, Zhu Xuanqi and Zhang Fan came from the capital, but because of the large number of people, they were divided. The two tables are basically separated by men and women. Although the two tables are all in the same room, there is a wooden curtain between them.

Zhang Fan was taken aback when he saw this scene, but fortunately, Zhang Fan calmed down after the two sides sat down. There are wooden curtains separating them, but the curtains are not closed. Most of the people at the two tables cannot see, but the three outermost people can still see the three outermost people on the opposite table.

Fortunately, because Wang Meng's status was almost the lowest among those present, he also sat at the last side, and at the table over there, the third princess was also sitting with Joanna, and she also sat there. He sat at the farthest place, so that Wang Meng could just see Joanna sitting there, and the third princess sitting next to Joanna.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan felt at ease. If he could not see both sides, he could only waste this chance, but Zhang Fan didn't know when he would have to wait for the next chance.

Of course, even if you can't see there, maybe Joanna can find something, but Zhang Fan doesn't have much hope for this, it's not that he despises Joanna's talent in this area , It's really because the other party is not a naive master, the person who can be sent by the Five Poison Sect to be an eyeliner in this palace has requirements in all aspects, and some requirements are not born.

The most important point is to be able to deal with all kinds of emergencies freely. Even if you are about to be found out, you must be very calm. Otherwise, you can fool the past, but you will Because of one's own mistakes, what kind of handle is given to the other party.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Fan needs Wang Meng to help him observe the situation over there. After all, Wang Meng is a martial arts practitioner, not only when he is fighting, but even in normal times, he can spot the other party. Will there be any changes in breath and expression? Of course, this kind of thing may not be possible. It is possible that even Wang Meng may not be able to see what is wrong.

However, Zhang Fan still intends to do this. After all, if he does this, he will not only send a message to his side, but also give the other party a message, explaining that this side already knows that you are here, and if you don't show up again, there will be trouble class information.

In short, for Zhang Fan this time, it can be said that he is bound to win.

And under such circumstances, the dinner tonight finally started, and everyone at the banquet was talking and laughing, but Zhang Fan, who was sitting next to Zhu Xuanqi, was not at peace.
