poor people

Chapter 121, playing cards against common sense

There are four tall buildings in the Imperial City, the Shengping Tower in Bei'anmen, the Guotai Gate in Chengtianmen, the Fengdeng Tower in Dong'anmen, and the Qianqiu Tower in Xi'an Gate.

The four buildings are nine storeys high and tens of meters high.

Standing on the ninth floor of the fourth building, you can have a panoramic view of the entire imperial city including Miyagi.

On the ninth floor of the Qianqiu Tower, Chu Yao stood with his hands behind his back, watching the situation on the west side of the imperial city intently. At this moment, he could see all the criss-crossing streets and row upon row of mansions.

"Deng deng deng"

There was a sudden trampling sound from the entrance of the pavilion, and after a while, Meng Moling ran up with a smile.

"Brother Yao."

Chu Yao didn't turn his head back: "Why are you here?"

Meng Moling walked to Chu Yao's side with a smile: "Brother Yao, I heard something interesting about the Wuchang uncle's mansion, so I came here non-stop to tell you."

Chu Yao finally had a reaction, glanced sideways at Meng Moling, and said casually, "Wuchang uncle's mansion? An uncle's mansion that has been silent for many years and is about to come to an end, what can there be?"

Having said that, he suddenly stopped.

There was really no need to pay attention to the Wuchang uncle's mansion in the past, but after the incident of the child being wrongly hugged came out, there was a bit of color.

Shi Zhenghe and his family who came back from the northwest frontier, whether it is the father or the four children, seem to be a little bit capable.

On New Year's Eve, there was a disturbance in the area of ​​Changyi Street in Beicheng. There was almost a disturbance, but it was Shi Zhenghe who stepped forward to solve it.

The troublemaker is a well-known tumbler in the Deshengmen area. With his strong standing skills, there are few people in the surrounding area who can beat him.

But when confronted with Shi Zhenghe, he failed to catch even ten moves, and in the end, in order to preserve his reputation, he retreated voluntarily in desperation.

As for his two sons, one helped catch three Jiangyang thieves as soon as he entered the capital, and the other was able to tie with the young general Zhao Shengming. Their martial arts talents are really amazing.

There was also that Shi Fuyin who pushed Meng Moling a few meters away, and the chubby girl who was daring to touch her.
Chu Yao showed interest on his face: "Tell me, what happened to the Shi family?"

Seeing that Chu Yao was interested, Meng Moling immediately told with great interest that the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, Duke Qing's Mansion, and Duke Wen's Mansion sent people to Wuchang Bo's Mansion to beg for the Red Flame Sable.

After Chu Yao heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up: "These three families are not easy to deal with. Marquis Wu'an is domineering and has a good face. Duke Qing was extremely ridiculous when he was the heir. Shamo is dead."

"As for Wen Guogong's mansion, although these years have been very low-key, but in the end it is the emperor who is keeping a close eye on the Yue family. Although the Empress Yuan is gone, there is still an eldest prince."

"Wuchang uncle's mansion is a hard pass!"

Meng Moling nodded in agreement, and then said excitedly: "Brother Yao, do you know how the news about the red flame mink in Shi's family got out?"

Chu Yao didn't respond, how can he pass it on?
Although the Wuchang uncle's mansion has fallen, it is a big family after all, with a large number of people in the family, and there are no secrets in the mansion, and you will tell me what you say.

Meng Moling smiled and said: "It was the eldest wife of the Wei family, Shi Yuhua, who spread the news. Originally, only the Marquis of Wu'an and Nanhebo's mansions who were bitten by the red flame sable knew about it, but on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Wei family's At the poetry meeting, Shi Yuhua actually vomited bitterness in public."

"Shi Yuhua said that the sixth girl of the Shi family was the little chubby girl who dared to wrong you, Brother Yao, saying that she had no respect for her elders, her mouth was unforgiving, and she even dared to contradict her elders in public."

"Brother Yao, you know, those ladies love to listen to this kind of gossip, and they all asked carefully for a while, and then they talked about the red flame sable."

"That afternoon, the people from Duke Qing's Mansion went to Uncle Wuchang's Mansion."

Chu Yao thought of Mrs. Shi, whom she saw several times when the imperial court ordered women to visit the queen, and sneered: "Mrs. Shi is quite shrewd, why did she raise such an idiot?!"

Meng Moling also looked down on this kind of person who dug his own wall: "Isn't it just stupid. Brother Yao, who do you think the Wuchang uncle's mansion will give the red flame mink to in the end?"

As he spoke, he paused.

"Brother Yao, don't you also want the red flame sable? How about I also go to the uncle's mansion? Even the Wuchang uncle's mansion dare not give me the red flame ermine."

Chu Yao squinted at Meng Moling, who was eager to try: "Am I the kind of person who takes things by force?" He said, and snorted, "Although the Wuchang uncle's mansion is not something to be afraid of, there is no such thing as a tasteless thing like going to the door to grab something. I don't bother to do it."

But Red Flame Sable, he really needs it.

"Even if I want the Red Flame Sable, what I have to do is to let the Wuchang Bofu take the initiative to deliver the things to me, instead of trying to snatch them away without losing my identity.

Meng Moling looked at Chu Yao with a look of admiration, and gave a thumbs up: "Sure enough, he is indeed my elder brother. Compared with your kindness and generosity, the Marquis of Wu'an, the Duke of Qing, and the Duke of Wen would all be thrown out by you for a few blocks. .”

"However, brother Yao, how do you get the Wuchang uncle's mansion to take the initiative to give you the red flame sable?"

Chu Yao was silent: "I have my own way." Whether it is the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, Duke Qing's Mansion, Duke Wen's Mansion, Wuchang Bo's Mansion did not dare to offend, this matter is probably going to be seen for a while.

As long as Red Flame Sable is still in Wuchang Bo's Mansion, he can do a lot.

Don't forget, the little fat girl touched her, and he hasn't said it's over yet.

Meng Moling asked curiously: "Brother Yao, what can you do? Tell me, I'll run errands for you."

Chu Yao: "If you are too busy, go to Yongding Gate and let me keep an eye on you."

"Once the first month is over, the officials coming to Beijing to report on their duties should arrive one after another. I will give you a list, and you should keep an eye on the people above you."

Meng Moling's eyes lit up, and his face was full of joy: "Brother Yao, you are finally willing to assign me an errand, don't worry, I promise to handle the errand smoothly."

Chu Yao warned: "Don't take it too lightly. Local officials, especially those above the third rank, are surrounded by warrior guards. Many of them are masters of the eighth or ninth rank. It is better to be careful about your three-legged cat's kung fu."

When it came to kung fu, the smile on Meng Moling's face disappeared. When he thought of the experience of being pushed a few meters away by Shi Fuyin's palm in the palace during the winter hunting, he became very depressed.

Seeing his slumped head, Chu Yao said again: "We only focus on people, and it's the Special Investigation Department's business to go up. Your kung fu is still enough."

Meng Moling was not comforted, and went downstairs listlessly.

But two quarters of an hour later, this guy turned back excitedly.

Chu Yao was speechless: "Why are you back?"

Meng Moling excitedly said: "Brother Yao, I'm afraid it will be impossible if you want the Wuchang uncle's mansion to take the initiative to send you the red flame mink."

"Didn't I want to know who the Wuchangbo mansion would give the red flame mink to, so I sent someone to guard Changle East Street. Just now I received news that yes, the little fat girl was carrying Shi Jiulang swaggeringly with the red sable. Flame Sable is out of the house."

"Obviously, the little fat girl and the others are going to give away the red flame sable today. Brother Yao, let me go and stop the red flame sable directly. I don't think Marquis Wu'an, Duke Qing, and Duke Wen would dare to fight with him." Let's grab it."

Chu Yao raised his eyebrows in surprise, and decided to send the Red Flame Sable out so easily?

"Wait, the little fat girl brought Shi Jiulang out of the mansion with the red flame mink in person?"

Why is he so unbelievable!
During the winter hunting, in order to prevent him from catching the red flame ermine, the little fat girl dared to wrong him, so would she hand over the red flame ermine so generously?

Meng Moling nodded: "Isn't that right? Little Pang Niu's sister and brother are very flamboyant. Whenever they meet people along the way, they will tell them that they are carrying the Red Flame Sable from the Western Regions, and now they are going to give gifts."

Chu Yao frowned: "Did they say they would give the Red Flame Sable to someone?"

Meng Moling shook his head: "I didn't say that." He said anxiously: "Brother Yao, do you still want the Red Flame Sable? It took some time for my people to pass the news on. The fat girl sister and brother may have already sent the red flame mink away."

"Will not!"

Hearing Chu Yao's affirmative words, Meng Moling was stunned for a moment, and then heard Chu Yao say: "They are here."

Seeing the corners of Chu Yao's mouth curled up, Meng Moling immediately understood what he meant: "The little fat girl is here?" As he spoke, he hurriedly followed Chu Yao's line of sight to look downstairs.

Unfortunately, there were too many pedestrians on the street, and he didn't see anyone.

"Brother Yao, where are the little fat girls?"

Chu Yao didn't respond. With Meng Moling's strength, he couldn't distinguish people beyond 500 meters.

Chu Yao raised his brows as he looked at the two figures approaching the Xi'an Gate on Dewu Road in a leisurely and steady manner.

Looking at their appearance, this is the rhythm of coming to the imperial city!

He has investigated everything about Shizheng and his family since they came to Beijing, except for him, they have no contact with anyone in the imperial city.

Before he had time to make a move, did the little fat girl take the initiative to give him the red flame sable?

That's right, facing the robbing by Marquis Wu'an and those people, everyone would feel uncomfortable and unhappy, but if the little fat girl would take the initiative to think of giving him the red flame sable, Chu Yao himself laughed.

They met a few times in total, and each time they were not very harmonious. The last time they begged for the blood of the red flame sable, the little chubby girl was reluctant, and she would take the initiative to give herself the red flame sable!
Not enough, besides him, is it possible that they also know other people in the imperial city?
At this time, Shi Fuxin brought Shi Dinghao to Xi'an Gate of the Imperial City.

Meng Moling finally saw the two of them, and said in surprise: "The little fat girl is going to enter the imperial city!"

Under the gate of Xi'an, Shi Fuxin took out Governor Cai's jade pendant, and motioned for Shi Dinghao to raise the red flame mink in his hand: "We are from the Wuchang uncle's mansion, and we will enter the imperial city to give gifts."

The gatekeepers looked at Governor Cai's jade pendant, and after registering, they let them in.

Upstairs in Qianqiu, Meng Moling's eyes widened: "What are the sisters and brothers doing in the imperial city? Do they want to give the red flame sable to the people in the imperial city?"

Seeing Shi Fuxin's sister and brother walking in the direction, Chu Yao was really surprised, and at the same time had a guess in his heart.

It's no secret that the eldest prince has cold poison in his body, and the blood of the red flame mink is an important ingredient for detoxifying cold poison.

The little fat girl sister and brother want to give the red flame sable to the eldest prince, right?
Looking at the siblings who passed by Qianqiu downstairs, Chu Yao had a panoramic view of the smiles on their faces, and there was no reluctance or displeasure!
This is really strange!
Shi Fuxin's brother and sister carried the red flame mink out of the mansion, many people were paying attention, everyone wanted to know which family the Wuchang uncle's mansion would give the red flame mink to.

Unexpectedly, the result was unexpected, the siblings didn't even choose one family, and even ran into the imperial city.

Everyone has guessed what to do in the imperial city.

After all, in the imperial city, the only one who suffers from cold poison is the First Prince.
