Chapter 365, Invitation

When Chu Yao returned to the study, he began to sulk. He found that he really couldn't reason with Shi Liu, because he couldn't even explain it!

Hit, but can't hit.

Say it, but say it.

Chu Yao rubbed his forehead with a headache. At this time, he doubted whether the decision to marry Fu Xin was correct. Now he feels more and more as if he has married an ancestor.

"Third Master!"

At this moment, a low call sounded outside the window.

After Chu Yao heard it, his face straightened, and he withdrew all his thoughts just now, and gave a faint 'hmm'.

Then, a man in black appeared in the study.

"Third Master, all the Yuan family's goods in the South China Sea have been robbed."

Chu Yao narrowed his eyes, the Yuan family, one of the top ten imperial merchants, was backed by the sixth prince.

"Have you found out who did it?"

The man in black: "It is the hands of the Sea Turtle Gang, one of the most powerful pirate forces in the South China Sea."

Chu Yao: "Sea Turtle Gang?"

The man in black said again: "There should be a master behind the Sea Turtle Gang, and it is very likely that it is from the capital. The Sea Turtle Gang rarely harass the people along the coast, and they act in a very orderly manner."

When Chu Yao heard this, his face became serious. It is not terrible for a pirate gang to burn, kill and loot.

Turtle Gang?The Yuan family?

The master behind the Yuan family is the sixth prince, and the only one who had a direct conflict with the sixth prince during this period was the Dongfang family of the Duke of Ming.

"Go and find out if the members of the Sea Turtle Gang are related to the Duke of Ming's Mansion?"

After the man in black left, Chu Yao was still thinking. He was thinking about the sixth prince.

The sixth prince is actually not conspicuous among the many princes, his ability and talent are not very outstanding, and his mother's family has no power, but it is such a sixth prince who has no help but wins over to the Yuan family, one of the top ten imperial merchants.

You must know that the families that can be selected as the top ten imperial merchants are all merchant families that have been passed down for several generations.

Merchants value profit the most. How did the mediocre sixth prince fall into the eyes of the Yuan family?

What can the sixth prince bring to the Yuan family?
Ever since he found out that the master behind the Yuan family was the sixth prince, he sent many people to investigate the relationship between them, but unfortunately nothing was found.

Chu Yao didn't bother about the Sixth Prince and the Yuan family anymore, he started thinking about the Sea Turtle Gang that popped up out of nowhere.

Is the Sea Turtle Gang a member of the Duke of Ming Dynasty?

The Yuan family belongs to the Sixth Prince. Is the Duke of Ming Dynasty going to take action against the Sixth Prince at last?
There are more and more forces taking the lead, and the capital is afraid that it will become more lively.

Just two days after Chu Yao met the man in black, Shi Fuxin received a letter from Shi Dingxuan's family.

"Ma'am, Fifth Lord has sent you a letter."

Upon hearing that it was Shi Dingxuan's letter, Shi Fuxin immediately showed a smile: "Fifth brother is lazy, and he will only send a letter home to the capital for several months."

He quickly opened the letter while talking, and after reading the first page, he said happily, "My sister-in-law is pregnant!"

After hearing this, Nanny Leng and An Ran were also very happy: "Fourth madam is envious of the young grandson of the elder madam's family, now it's better, the fifth master has a son, and the fourth madam has grandchildren."

Shi Fuxin nodded with a smile.

At the beginning, the fifth brother got married when his sister-in-law's father was dying. After getting married, the fifth brother and his sister-in-law had to observe filial piety for three years, and the two only had their filial piety this year.

After reading Shi Dingxuan's good news, Shi Fuxin began to read another letter inside the letter.

The letter was written by Master Xiang.

"Miss Six, it has been found out. The person who took action against Meng and Yang was the Yuan family, one of the top ten imperial merchants, and the master behind the Yuan family is the sixth prince."

"At the beginning of this month, the Yuan family's goods, including people and boats, were robbed by the Sea Turtle Gang. Now, the head of the Yuan family is already on his way to the capital."

"The Sea Turtle Gang seems to have connections with the capital. Although they haven't had any conflicts with Baicaotang in the past two years, they have been inquiring about Baicaotang both openly and secretly."

"Miss Six, with the power of the Sea Turtle Gang, they are likely to find out the relationship between Baicaotang and Shennongtang. You must prepare early."

Shi Fuxin folded Master Xiang's letter expressionlessly, then took out the fire folder and lit it, burning the letter completely.

When Mother Leng and An Ran saw Fu Xin's complexion changed, they exited the room with discernment.

Shi Fuxin walked to the table and sat down, took a pen and wrote five words.

The sixth prince, the Yuan family.
The Meng and Yang families used to be Chu Qinghuan's money bag, but the Yuan family suddenly came to him, and even killed him. This Yuan family may also belong to Chu Qinghuan.

If the Yuan family belonged to Chu Qinghuan, then the sixth prince
That's right, if she were Chu Qinghuan, she would also support a prince to the throne. It just so happens that the sixth prince has no ability, and there is no strong mother clan behind him, so he is indeed the best candidate for a puppet.

Thinking of what Master Xiang said, when the Patriarch of the Yuan family came to the capital, Shi Fuxin immediately called Xiaofang in: "Go and tell Yan Daizi to keep an eye on the gate of the city, and if he finds that the imperial merchant Yuan's family has entered the capital, notify me immediately. "

When Xiaofang left, Shi Fuxin wrote the words "Sea Turtle Gang" on the white paper on the table.

In the pirate forces in the South China Sea, there are two gangs that are still fresh in her memory, one is the Sea Turtle Gang and the other is the Seahorse Gang.

The members of the Sea Turtle Gang are training soldiers on the island, while the members of the Seahorse Gang are growing food on the island.

The actions of these two forces are not like pirates at all!

Now that the members of the Sea Turtle Gang have robbed the people and goods of the Yuan family, it is obvious that the two families have enmity.

Shi Fuxin, like Chu Yao, also thought of the commotion between the Sixth Prince and the Duke of Ming during this period.

"Is it the Duke of Ming Dynasty?"

The Duke of Ming's mansion is the natal family of Empress Wende, the first family of Chu, and they definitely have the strength to form such a pirate team in the South China Sea.

Shi Fuxin's face was a bit serious, if the master behind the Sea Turtle Gang is really the Duke of Ming's Mansion, and they are after Baicaotang, it is really a difficult matter, and the Duke of Ming's Mansion is not very easy to deal with.

The Sea Turtle Gang is far away in the South China Sea and it is not easy to solve it. Now they can only keep an eye on the Duke Ming's Mansion.

In late August, Yan Daizi sent a letter to Shi Fuxin, saying that the head of the Yuan family had entered Beijing.

After Shi Fuxin found out, she immediately decided to meet the head of the Yuan family in person. No matter what, she had to know what the Yuan family found through the Meng and Yang families.

But before Shi Fuxin could make a move, the Sixth Prince's people quietly sent a letter to Hongyanxiao, and asked Hongyanxiao's steward to send it to Shi Fuxin immediately.

When Shi Fuxin received the letter, she was obviously a little surprised, the sixth prince actually found her first!

There was nothing written in the letter, only one sentence: Mrs. Yao San please come to the Qianxi Building tomorrow to have a talk. An old friend will arrive.

Shi Fuxin frowned after watching it.

An old friend?

What old friends can there be between her and the sixth prince?
Shi Fuxin decided to ignore it, she didn't want to have anything to do with the sixth prince, anyway, after seeing the head of the Yuan family, she could know everything she wanted to know.

At that time, we will decide how to deal with the sixth prince.

That night, Shi Fuxin quietly went to Yuan's house dressed as a night traveler.

The top ten imperial merchants all have houses in the capital, and the Yuan family's house is in the quietest part of the outer city.

As soon as she approached Yuan's house, Shi Fuxin sensed that something was wrong, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Shi Fuxin jumped onto the beam, and quickly ran towards the place where the smell of blood was the strongest. Along the way, she saw many people lying on the ground.

Soon, more than a dozen men in black were seen in the main courtyard, and people fell all over the courtyard.

"It's you!"

In the yard, there is only one living person left, and that is the Patriarch of the Yuan family.

The Patriarch of the Yuan Family lay on the ground with a mournful expression, with blood streaming from his mouth. When he saw the leader in black tearing off his kerchief, his eyes opened angrily: "You are a member of the Sea Turtle Gang!"

The leader in black sneered, "Patriarch Yuan has a good memory."

The head of the Yuan family looked at the leader in black: "Why? You have already robbed my goods, why do you want to kill them all?"

The leader in black ignored Yuan's Patriarch's questioning and asked, "Why did you attack the Yang family in Liaodong and the Meng family in Beihai before?"

The Patriarch of the Yuan family's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said with a smile: "From the South China Sea to the capital, you just want to ask me this?"

The black-clothed leader looked at him: "Your Yuan family was originally a member of His Royal Highness Qing Huan, the granddaughter of the Prince Regent, and later joined the Sixth Prince. Why did you take action against the Yang and Meng families who have no conflict of interest with the Yuan family?"

Seeing that the man in black even knew the details of the Yuan family, the Patriarch of the Yuan family changed his expression greatly: "How do you know this? Who are you guys?"

The leader in black obviously became impatient, and stepped on Patriarch Yuan's head: "Answer my question honestly."

The Patriarch of the Yuan family suddenly laughed out loud: "You are so powerful, go and investigate yourself." Knowing that he was doomed this time, he simply ignored him, "It was ordered by the sixth prince. If you have the ability, you should ask the sixth prince."

Afterwards, no matter what the man in black said, the head of the Yuan family stopped talking.

Killing intent flashed across the eyes of the black-clothed leader, and with a swing of the sword in his hand, he wiped the head of the Yuan family's neck.

"Second leader, we haven't found out the reason why the Yuan family attacked the Yang and Meng families." A man in black wanted to stop it, but unfortunately, it was a step too late.

The black-clothed leader snorted and said, "Do you think he can talk when he looks dead?"

The man in black: "Then how do we explain to the boss?"

The leader in black: "Go to the Duke of Ming's mansion and ask them to find a way to ask the sixth prince."

The man in black was in a hurry: "The second master, the first master has ordered us not to contact people from the Duke of Ming's mansion as much as possible."

The black-clothed leader was angry: "Are you the second leader or I am the second leader, do what I ask you to do, why waste so much talk?"

hum hum.

"They're all from the Dongfang family, so why should they enjoy the hot food in the capital, and we're going to be exposed to the pirates? It's up to them to do something."

The other men in black couldn't persuade the leader in black, so they could only follow him and quickly left Yuan's house.

Shi Fuxin quietly followed behind them, and saw with her own eyes that this group of men in black entered the Duke of Ming's mansion.

"The Sea Turtle Gang was indeed formed by people from the Duke of Ming's Mansion!"

Shi Fuxin looked at the gate of the Duke of Ming's Mansion, her eyes were a little gloomy.

Being targeted by the Duke of Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that Shennongtang will be investigated soon, and she may be exposed by then.

Shi Fuxin stared at the Duke of Ming's mansion, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

For the next few days, Shi Fuxin kept finding out about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion, and she had long forgotten about the Sixth Prince's invitation. Who would have thought that when she was going to Hongyanxiaojian's cigarette bag in a carriage, she was blocked by the Sixth Prince? On the way.

"Miss Yao San has such a big air, she doesn't give my Highness any face at all."

The two carriages stopped alternately, and the sixth prince sat through the window and looked at Shi Fuxin who was in the opposite carriage: "That's right, Mrs. Yao's reputation as arrogance is probably known to everyone in the capital. The Fourth Prince doesn't look down on anyone, let alone His Highness."

Shi Fuxin looked over, and said calmly: "I don't think I have anything to talk to Your Highness."

The sixth prince snorted and said, "Really, but His Highness thinks that we can talk all night long."

Hearing the sixth prince's ambiguous tone, Shi Fuxin felt disgusted, and she was not polite anymore: "Sixth prince, compared with my husband, you can't even compare him with a single finger, so don't be like that in front of me." It opened its tail like a peacock."

The Sixth Prince's complexion suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly: "Shishi, don't be shameless, His Highness knows about you and the Meng Yang family."

Shi Fuxin looked over: "I don't understand what the sixth prince means?"

The sixth prince laughed, and said silently: "You belong to Chu Qinghuan."

Shi Fuxin understood what he meant, and was a little speechless, this prince is really not very smart!
When the sixth prince saw that Fuxin was silent, he thought she was afraid, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness has booked a private room in the Millennium Tower, you can go with me, let's discuss it in detail."

After finishing speaking, he asked the coachman to drive to the Millennium Tower, as if he was sure that Ding Fuxin would follow.

Shi Fuxin watched the Sixth Prince's carriage go away, frowning and thinking.

Although the sixth prince made a mistake, if he wanted to talk nonsense, it would cause her a lot of trouble. After hesitating for a while, he decided to follow and see what the sixth prince wanted to do.

Not long after the carriage caught up with the sixth prince, Shi Fuxin frowned.

Someone was following her, and someone left quickly, apparently to report to the police.

Is it Chu Yao's person?
Shi Fuxin shook her head. With Chu Yao's temperament, she would only make people follow silently without making any moves. Moreover, she knew by heart the people Chu Yao sent to watch her, and those behind her were all unfamiliar faces.

If it wasn't Chu Yao, who could it be?
Shi Fuxin told Xiaofang to tell Shi Yi Shi Er to be more careful, and then squinted at the Sixth Prince's carriage walking ahead.

As for the sixth prince, when he knew that Shi Fuxin had followed up, a sinister sneer appeared on his face.

Chu Yao, His Highness wants to give you a taste of wearing a cuckold.

"Have the prince's people followed?"

"Keep up."

The sixth prince snorted coldly. The prince thought he was a fool. He didn't know that he, the third child, and the fifth child were aggressive generals. The reason why he followed their instructions was just to make Chu Yao feel uncomfortable.

Soon, the sixth prince's carriage stopped at the entrance of the Millennium Building.

The Sixth Prince got off the carriage, seeing that Shi Fuxin's carriage was approaching, he laughed and walked quickly into the restaurant.

"parking."

When there were still about ten meters away from the Millennium Tower, Shi Fuxin asked Shi Yishi Er to stop the carriage.

With Xiaofang's support, Shi Fuxin weakly got out of the carriage, her whole body pressed against Xiaofang's body, and under the watchful eyes of the people around her, she slowly walked into the embroidery building next to her.

"Steward, I'm the servant girl of Prince Rong's mansion. This is my third wife. My wife is here for a little day. I want to borrow your dressing room."

Hearing that they were from the palace, the steward dared not refuse, and hurriedly led the two to the dressing room.

After entering the dressing room, Xiaofang quickly closed the door, then looked at Shi Fuxin: "Ma'am, what happened?"

Shi Fuxin walked to the window and looked towards the Millennium Building opposite: "There is something wrong with the Millennium Building, I'm going to go straight into the Millennium Building, I think I'll fall into the trap."

Xiaofang was in a hurry: "Then let's leave quickly."

Shi Fuxin: "There's no rush, let's have a look first."

Shi Fuxin released her mental power and directly monitored the box where the sixth prince was.

"Is Banbuhuan on?"

"Yes, it's just Your Highness, Mrs. Yao San is the apprentice of the old man Tianchi, and she might sense something is wrong."

The sixth prince snorted and said: "Banbuhuan was bought by the Regent from the Western Regions back then. Even if a person only takes half a sip, she will be tricked. As long as Shi Shi enters this private room, she will not be able to escape."

"I heard that she is still doing filial piety to the old man in Tianchi, and has never had a bridal chamber with Chu Yao. Hmph, I will let His Highness exercise the power of husband on behalf of Chu Yao later."

'Listening' to the conversation between the sixth prince and his confidant, Shi Fuxin's face was extremely gloomy, and what surprised her was still behind, she actually saw the prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince also enter the restaurant.

"Lao Liu, that idiot, probably won't be able to take Shi Shi down. At that time, we have to help Lao Liu and make sure that he and Shi Shi are having an affair."

"With witnesses like us, I'm not afraid that Shi Shi will not admit it."

"It doesn't matter if Shi doesn't admit it. Anyway, her reputation is not good. If we testify, outsiders will only believe us."

Hearing this, Shi Fuxin understood that the people who followed her before should be the prince's people.

These princes are really powerful, why did they cast such a big net against her!

Just when Shi Fuxin was thinking about how to solve the matter in front of her, she saw the second head of the Sea Turtle Gang who had wiped out the Yuan family appear in the building openly, her eyes lit up.
