Chapter 186 Prevention
Qingsong entered the book and said, "Master, Qingping is back."

Shi Jingyang turned around and said, "Come in, please!"

Qingsong retreated, Qingping came in and bowed to salute. "Grandfather!"

Shi Jingyang pointed to the chair beside the desk, motioning for Qingping to sit down. "Sit down and talk."

Qingping thanked him with a bow, straightened his body and sat down opposite Shi Jingyang.

My grandfather is obviously very easy-going in front of them, but when he faces his grandfather, he is always worried.

Qingping leaned forward and said: "Master, the people around the paddock found out that
Seven days ago, three groups of people entered the paddock from Wangjiawan, Shaba, and Yangmei Village respectively. Among them, six people entered from Wangjiawan and Yangmei Village, and eight people entered from Shaba.

After these people entered the paddock, until the evening of the second day, 18 people left from the direction of Shapa, and then went to the direction of Renshou.

Our people followed until Lengshui Dam. Seeing those people continue to go north, they stopped following them and stayed at Lengshui Dam for a while before turning back.

The second day after the group left, it happened to be the time when the people from the Yulin Army who had come to collect points earlier entered the venue. "

Every autumn, the guards in charge of security have to collect points twice in advance, five and three days ago respectively.

Speaking of which, the people who really picked up points were the group five days ago, and the group three days ago, who entered the venue in advance for defense.

Shi Jingyang frowned slightly, and asked, "These people stayed in the paddock for almost a day and a night?"

Qingping nodded and said: "Yes, almost a day and a night."

Shi Jingyang frowned even tighter. These people have been in the paddock for more than ten hours. What are they doing in the paddock? "

Shi Jingyang looked up at Qingping, and then asked: "The count is clear, 20 people entered the paddock, and only 18 people left?"

Qingping leaned forward and said: "Yes, 20 people went in, only 18 people left. Two people never came out."

Are these two still in the paddock?Didn't the two groups of Royal Forest Army who entered the paddock one after another find them?

To stay in the paddock, you have to try to avoid the Imperial Forest Army, and you have to guard against wild animals in the range.Why did they risk staying in the paddock?What is their purpose?Assassinate the emperor?

In the last life, the emperor was in danger on the autumn scorpion, and what he met was a beast, not an assassin.

Shi Jingyang thought hard, and after a while, looked at Qingping and asked, "Where is the other party from? Can you tell?"

Qing Ping shook his head, "There are many people on the other side, we are afraid that the other party will find out the clues, so our people dare not approach."

Shi Jingyang thought for a while, and said: "This time, the autumn is not peaceful, pass on the order, and act according to the previous order first, so as to protect His Royal Highness, understand?"

Qingping bowed his body to answer.

Shi Jingyang then ordered: "I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us in the dark, let everyone cheer up, loosen the outside and tighten the inside. Don't let people look strange."

Qingping leaned back again, and lowered his hands in response, "Yes, I understand."

After Qingping retreated, Shi Jingyang leaned back on the back of the chair, his eyes looked upwards out of focus, and his mind was thinking about the past.

Now that I think about it carefully, the changes in the court in the previous life started from this autumn.

This autumn is a watershed.

After the fall of autumn, the emperor began to pay more attention to Yan Wang and Chen Wang, and the aura of the imperial concubine line increased day by day, and people in the court gradually leaned towards the imperial concubine line.

As for the prince's family, because he married Ning Wei, his grandmother and aunt complained about him, and his uncle also criticized him, and a rift arose between the two houses.

In the end, the queen came forward to make peace, and the two governments seemed to be a little more harmonious...

His thoughts drifted away, Shi Jingyang sat up straight, picked up a pen and wrote the word "paddock" on the paper, and then circled it.

The opponent left the person in the paddock because he wanted to attack in the paddock.

In the previous life, the emperor did not encounter assassins in the paddock, so the target of those people was not the emperor?

It's a pity that Qiu Xi from the previous life didn't come by himself, and I don't know much about Qiu Xi.

Liu San help!Shi Jingyang suddenly thought of Liu Jinrui.

Why Liu San rescued him?The prince, Lu Qichuan and Pei Dongliu who are beside the prince are all better than Liu San, why didn't they save him?
Shi Jingyang's mind suddenly flashed Wu Mingxuan's drink talk once when he was drunk.

Back then, if His Highness hadn't had a stomachache, where would it have been Liu San's turn to rescue him?
Wu Mingxuan talked a lot after he was drunk, he didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, something might have gone wrong on the day the prince was hunting...

Shi Jingyang raised his hand and patted his forehead. In his previous life, he died without any injustice.

And at that time, he was too young, too naive...too stupid...

There was a knock on the door, Shi Jingyang sat up straight and said loudly, "Come in!"

Qingsong entered the door and said: "Master, Commander Lu is here."

Without waiting for Shi Jingyang's invitation, Lu Qichuan walked in through the door.

"Qing'an, you set up a barbecue grill here, do you want to barbecue?" Lu Qichuan asked as he entered the door.

Shi Jingyang got up to greet him, and said: "Brothers and sisters rarely go out for a trip, so I took this opportunity to gather everyone together, have a small party, eat, drink, and gossip."

Lu Qichuan praised: "This is good, it can enhance the relationship between brothers and sisters."

Speaking of this, Lu Qichuan said enthusiastically: "Your Highness likes to be lively, or else I'll invite His Highness over here.It just so happens that His Highness has something to do with you, so you can chat while eating. "

Shi Jingyang was about to talk to the crown prince, so he nodded immediately and said: "Good idea, talk about the matter while grilling meat, false and true, and paralyze the eyes of people's hearts, I have to ask Lu Tong to lead the way."

"I can't bear the word 'work', it's my duty." Lu Qichuan smiled, and walked out while talking.

Qingsong came over with tea, and seeing Lu Qichuan leaving, asked in surprise, "Master Lu is leaving?"

Lu Qichuan nodded with a smile and said, "If you don't leave, just come here and let someone roast a whole lamb, sir. Prepare some wine, either Zhuyeqing or Longshan Huadiao..."

Shi Jingyang interrupted him with a smile: "There are quite a few demands!"

Lu Qichuan said: "How can this be my request? Your Highness is the one who likes this, hurry up and prepare."

Shi Jingyang was in a daze for a while, this is really the prince's taste, after many years, he actually forgot the prince's preference.

Shi Jingyang cupped his hands, "Thank you for reminding me, let people prepare."

After Lu Qichuan left, Shi Jingyang said to Qingsong: "His Royal Highness will come over, hurry up and get ready."

Qingsong bowed in response, took two steps back, turned around and left quickly, and gave instructions to the servants while walking, and the servants got busy in the courtyard after receiving the order.

If it's just a gathering of the masters and ladies from Duke Chengguo's Mansion and Marquis Weiyuan's Mansion, setting up a few barbecue grills at will, preparing some ingredients, and setting up two tables, everything will be well arranged.

But right now His Royal Highness is coming, from the defense to the waiters, from the drinks to the side dishes, everything needs to be exquisite, and there can be no mistakes.

After Qingsong left, Shi Jingyang called out, "Come out."

Jiang Min stepped out from behind the screen, bowed to Shi Jingyang and said, "Master."

Shi Jingyang said: "Let people keep an eye on the Crown Prince's palace, and see who enters and exits the Crown Prince's palace after His Highness leaves the palace?"

If the prince can have a stomachache on a hunting day, there must be something wrong with the people who serve him close by.

Jiang Min understood, and bowed in response, "Yes, I understand."

Jiang Min retreated behind the screen and left through the back door.

After Shi Jingxing washed up, he took his maidservant to the other courtyard of Jiangfu.

Knowing that Jiang Xingyu had returned to the capital, Shi Jingxing walked back resentfully, annoyed that he didn't comfort Jiang Xingyu and let her leave in anger.

"Miss, in front are Miss Liu Si and Miss Liu Wu." The servant girl said,
Shi Jingxing's thoughts were interrupted by Shi Hua's words.

Shi Jingxing looked up, and sure enough, he saw Liu Jinman, the fourth miss, and Liu Jinru, the fifth miss of Liu Xiangfu, looking at her. They seemed to be waiting for her.

Shi Jingxing raised his smiling face and said, "Hi Miss Fourth, Miss Fifth! Where are you going?"

The two young ladies of Xiangfu returned the salute to Shi Jingxing.

Fourth Miss Liu spoke first: "I heard that Miss Shi is also here this time. My sister and I are going to Weiyuan Hou Mansion to talk to Miss Shi, and I don't want to meet Miss Shi here."

Shi Jingxing was very surprised, she did not expect that these two people came to look for her.

Shi Jingxing had a look of surprise on his face, "Really? What a coincidence."

"Miss Four, Miss Fifth, people in the Hou Mansion said that Miss Shi has gone out." The servant who had delivered the post in advance came back to report.

Liu Si smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, we have met Miss Shi."

Only then did the servants see Shi Jingxing at the side, bowed their knees to salute Shi Jingxing, and then stepped aside.

Miss Liu Wu looked at Shi Jingxing and asked: "We came here so presumptuously, I wonder if we have bothered Miss Shi?"

Others have come to the door, so naturally it is impossible to say no.

Shi Jingxing greeted warmly with a smile: "Why bother? It's rare to go out for a trip, everyone get together and talk lively!

If you two don't dislike it, how about we sit in the mansion?Coincidentally, my brother said that today I will eat barbecue in the mansion. "

Miss Liu Si looked at Shi Jingxing with bright eyes, "Barbecue? Is there a lot of people? Will it bother me if I join with Fifth Sister?"

Miss Liu Si asked politely, but her face was full of excitement, and she couldn't wait to join.

Shi Jingxing despised Miss Liu Si's hypocrisy very much in his heart, and he was not afraid of disturbing others in his behavior.

Shi Jingxing narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said, "Yes, barbecue! There are not many people, only a few cousins ​​from Duke Cheng's mansion."

Miss Liu Wu said with a smile: "Then don't bother me. It just so happens that I haven't seen Sister Yi for a long time."

Shi Jingxing invited with a smile, "Then let's go."

A group of people walked a few steps, and Yang Qinghan's voice sounded behind him: "Sister Xing."

Shi Jingxing turned his head and saw the three young ladies from the Yang residence, and stopped to wait for them.

After the three young ladies of Yang's mansion approached, they exchanged greetings again.

A group of people hurriedly headed to the other courtyard of the Marquis of Weiyuan, so Shi Jingxing went out and brought back a group of tails.

Shi Jingyang received the report soon. "Master, what should we do next?" Qing Shan asked.

Shi Jingyang was worried that Wu Mingyi came to pester them for a while, and they couldn't talk.

These ladies came at the right time, so that he could separate the seats between men and women in a fair manner.

Shi Jingyang said lightly: "Divide the yard into two, set up a few more sets of grills, and separate seats for men and women."

Qingshan was ordered to withdraw and make arrangements.

In order to let the young people have fun, Mrs. Hou used the pretext of liking the quiet, so she went to the Chengguo Mansion next door to talk to Mrs. Li, leaving the space for the young people.

Not long after Shi Jingxing came back with the others, the crown prince arrived with Lu Qichuan and Pei Dongliu who had just rushed over.

Everyone saluted the prince one after another.

The prince said: "Go out to play, everyone is free, there is no need to be formal."

Shi Jingyang stood beside the crown prince and asked, "Is Your Highness sitting inside or outside?"

The prince looked around, pointed to the table under the verandah on the right, and said, "Let's sit there."

Shi Jingyang bowed his body and said courteously: "Please, Your Highness."

The prince walked in front, Shi Jing was half a step behind, and followed to the verandah. Shi Jingfan was afraid of the prince since he was a child, so when he saw the prince coming, he dragged Wu Mingxuan to the barbecue.

After the prince sat down, he looked at Shi Jingfan who was dragging Wu Mingxuan to the grill and said with a smile: "Brother Fan is as always afraid of being alone."

Shi Jingyang glanced at his younger brother, retracted his eyes and said while pouring tea, "He's afraid His Highness will test his homework."

The prince took a sip of tea from his teacup, "It's been a long time since I took his homework test."

The prince then asked: "Why do you think of getting together here? The one in purple is the Fifth Miss of Liu Xiangfu? When did Sister Xing get closer to the people of Xiangfu?"

The prince put down the cup and looked around the yard.

Shi Jingyang refilled the prince's tea and said, "The fourth and fifth misses of Xiangfu came to Xun Xing to talk."

Seeing Miss Liu Wu looking towards the corridor, the prince withdrew his eyes and continued to drink tea, "Is that for you? The imperial concubine intends to let Miss Liu Wu be Chen Wangfei."

Shi Jingyang twitched the corner of his mouth, "What does it have to do with me?"

The prince smiled and leaned back, "It really has nothing to do with you."

The prince was about to say something when Gui Liang, Jiang Min's subordinate, came over with a snack.

While laying out snacks, he said to Shi Jingyang: "Master, after His Highness left the palace, a maid named Ruihuang passed a note to the flower bed at the back corner gate of the palace. Soon, people from the imperial concubine's palace came to take the note away."

Shi Jingyang said, "Understood."

Gui Liang stepped back, the prince turned his head to look at his servant Fu An.

Fu An stepped forward, leaned forward and asked, "What is your Highness' order?"

The prince asked: "When did Ruihuang enter the East Palace, and what responsibility does he perform in the East Palace?"

The prince suddenly asked about the maid, which made Fuan startled, and immediately became alert, and replied cautiously, "Return to Your Highness, Ruihuang entered the East Palace three years ago and worked in the tea room."

The prince waved his hand and said, "Understood, you step back."

Fuan stepped aside.

The crown prince said in a muffled voice: "I don't know how many people there are in the East Palace?"

Shi Jingyang comforted: "It's okay, it won't be too late for His Highness to be alert."

As he said that, Shi Jingyang truthfully reported the inquiry letter to the prince, and finally said: "Obviously, the other party wants to play tricks on Qiu Yu. From now on, Your Highness must be careful everywhere."

The prince sipped his tea and said, "I understand."

Shi Jingyang said: "From now on, all the food and drink of His Highness must be taken by Commander Lu himself. If Commander Lu does not personally deliver it to His Highness, His Highness cannot eat it."

The crown prince thought for a while and asked, "What if the orphan eats with the emperor?"
