Chapter 149 Infiltrate
The white walls and blue tiles of Wende Bridge have the charm of Jiangzhou Water Town. In the light rain, it looks like a hazy ink painting.

Holding a white oil-paper umbrella, Luo Ning walked across the stone arch bridge across the two banks, walking slowly, and kept looking at the high gate compound by the river.

As a woman from a water village, Luo Ning grew up in such an environment when she was young. When she was eleven or twelve years old, she lay on the fence facing the river, watching the talented scholars and beautiful women on the boats passing by, and occasionally had a shy fantasy that she would marry her when she grew up. human problem.

At that time, I thought that her husband should be handsome and talented, not as serious as her father, who would pamper her like a child.

Now, the fantasy has really come true, but there is a slight deviation in the last one - pampering her like a child, it should be pampering her for what she wants, not like pissing a little girl...

! !
Luo Ning paused, closed her beautiful eyes and her face was cold, and took a deep breath, trying to forget the shameful scene she saw in the bronze mirror yesterday.

But that scene may never be forgotten for the rest of my life...

Luo Ning gritted her teeth secretly, she was ashamed and wanted to turn over and jump off the bridge. After a while, she brushed aside her distracting thoughts and walked quickly to the Wang Family Medical Center.

It was raining lightly, and there were not many people in the medical center. Mrs. Wang was behind the counter in the wide hall, weighing the medicinal ingredients, and saw a stunning beauty in Tsing Yi come in, and greeted her kindly:

"Miss Ning'er is here."

Luo Ning looked a bit like the white lady who entered Baozhitang. After putting away the oil-paper umbrella, Wen Wen quietly came to the counter:
"Mrs. Wang, I'm here to grab some medicine. Jingtang is still quite angry. Can you give me a prescription for clearing the heat and eliminating the fire..."

Mrs. Wang put down the copper scale, came to the front, looked at Luo Ning's complexion, and asked in a low voice:
"Is it because Mrs. Xiang is too much for you?"

?

Luo Ning felt that this topic was a bit private, but in the face of a female doctor, it is not a good thing to conceal it, so after thinking about it, she responded truthfully:
"A little bit, um...it feels like he doesn't enjoy himself every time..."

Mrs. Wang understood with eyes full of understanding, and said softly: "It's normal for people who practice martial arts to be strong and strong. Young Master Ye is one of the best seedlings in a million. You have a soft body, and you will definitely not be able to bear it if you resist hard. You can't stand it after eating heat and clearing heat." You still can't take the medicine for dispelling fire."

Luo Ning blinked her eyes: "How old is he going to be?"

"It's hard to say. People who follow the way of outsiders suffer from overwork. After the age of 40, their bodies begin to turn from prosperity to decline. But the way of inner homes is different. The older they get, the more demonic they become. People who are still full of energy at the age of 80 are not the same. few."

Luo Ning had practiced Zhuyan Tu, and without accident, when she was 80 years old, she was still as popular as she is now, but Ye Jingtang didn't know if she had such a blessing.

Thinking of the 80-year-old 'white-haired old thief' who still tormented her like this, Luo Ning was terrified and asked again:

"Isn't it better for a woman to take the inner route?"

Mrs. Wang shook her head: "The inner family is the way to nourish Qi, which can nourish the body and keep the appearance, so it doesn't help much; women from the outer family who have tempered their muscles and bones since childhood should work harder, and they are not afraid of men tormenting them."

The number of parents... San Niang?
Luo Ning thought of Sanniang's outgoing personality and her tit-for-tat relationship, and immediately felt the pressure in the future.

But these were private matters, Luo Ningbo couldn't talk to Mrs. Wang, so he wanted to continue grabbing some medicine and go back to scare the little thief.

In the end, Mrs. Wang didn't prescribe a prescription, but leaned into her ear, and said earnestly:

"The medicine can cure the symptoms, but not the root cause. The girl can't bear it physically, so she can find a way..."

warm up.

Luo Ning has always been the little thief giving her hand and mouth and warming her up. Hearing this, she asked curiously:
"How to do it?"

Mrs. Wang felt that the girl was a bit innocent, so she explained in a low voice:
"Talk to the man, and he will naturally teach you."

As he spoke, he took a small bottle under the counter and handed it to Luo Ning:

"This is Xiangfei dew, which can nourish the skin. Some ladies are relatively dry, and it will be more comfortable when supplemented with it..."

Luo Ning roughly understood the meaning. Although she was ashamed to recall the experience with the thief, she still felt that she should not need this thing to lubricate...

Luo Ning took the white porcelain bottle over, with weird eyes:
"Madam Wang still sells these things?"

Mrs. Wang smiled: "Are the doctors benevolent? They deal with officials and wives all day long. They can't tell others if they have embarrassing secrets. Naturally, they can only ask me, a doctor, to solve the problem... By the way, there is a Fan family on the street, who is the imperial tailor Fan Jiuniang." Fan Jiuniang's daughter opened the tailor's shop next to her mansion; if you really want your husband to hand over the gun early, you can go to Miss Fan, tell me my name, buy some close-fitting clothes, and try them on."

Luo Ning was a little dazed: "Are the clothes there nice?"

Mrs. Wang nodded: "Fan Jiuniang is Fengguancheng in the tailoring world. She made the emperor's dragon robe. The clothes styles that are common among the people today are all designed by her when she was young. Fan Jiuniang made it for the birth mother Wang Guifei of the Holy Majesty, first imitated by the rich and powerful wives, and then spread to the folk world..."

"is it?"

"I grew up in the capital, so I don't know this. The girl has a really good figure, and she is the best-looking one I have ever seen in this dress. The well-known 'Goddess of the Toad Palace' in the world is probably the best in front of the girl. All lose three points."

Luo Ning was a little happy to be praised, and said with a smile:
"Madam, thanks for the prize. I'll go and have a look later."

Mrs. Wang saw that Luo Ning was very quiet and likable, so she wanted to continue to be a visitor, get some honeydew and so on, teach Luo Ning how to clean and satisfy men's special hobbies. Before she opened her mouth, she found that there were too many doors Dao figure, the words stopped immediately.

Luo Ning also stopped talking, and turned her head to look, but saw a handsome young man in black robe, carrying a bird on his back, looking into the shop:

"grumble?"

Luo Ning's face turned cold, she turned around and asked Mrs. Wang to pack some medicines for clearing heat and eliminating fire, and walked out of the big pharmacy quickly.

Ye Jingtang held an umbrella and waited at the door. Seeing this, he held an umbrella to cover Luo Ning's head, and raised his hand to pick it up:
"Prescribe so much medicine? Are you going to let me drink it for half a month?"

Luo Ning was still a virtuous little daughter-in-law in the pharmacy, and when she walked out to the street, her expression turned cold:
"You take this medicine first, and I'll come and grab it when it's gone."

Ye Jingtang knew that it was too much to look in the mirror with Luo Nuxia yesterday, so he explained with a smile:

"Yesterday, I just had a brain twitch. I wanted to see if there was anything wrong with my face, so I got up and looked in the mirror. I promise that I will never...'

Luo Ning snorted lightly, but didn't respond.

Ye Jingtang couldn't be comforted, so he had no choice but to change the topic, and picked up the small white porcelain bottle in the medicine bag:
"What kind of medicine is this?"

Luo Ning's expression froze, she snatched the small porcelain bottle and explained plainly:
"Body lotion, I bought it for Yunli."

Ye Jingtang felt that Xiao Yunli's flabbergasted complexion didn't need to be moisturized at all, but he didn't ask any further questions, and instead said:

"Prince Jing, whom I met just now, has heard about Prince Wu's son. I'm going out of the city to have a look. Would you like Miss Luo to come with me?"

When Luo Ning heard the business, her expression softened a bit:
"Take the medicine back first..."

"It's important. It doesn't matter if the medicine comes back."

Ye Jingtang raised his hand and wanted to throw the medicine into the river.

Luo Ning was immediately annoyed, she prescribes the medicine with the cheek to do homework for a long time, how can she prescribe it a second time if she is thrown away?
"Little thief! If you make a bad idea again, I will take Yunli back to Nanxiao Mountain directly, and you can find a way to recuperate your body."

Ye Jingtang paused, and carried the medicine carefully:

"I just find it inconvenient to hold the medicine."

Luo Ning didn't respond, walking beside Ye Jingtang, passing by the big shop with the signboard of "Fan Qiaoshou" on the side of the street, she remembered something, turned and entered it:

"Wait, I'll go and order some clothes for Yun Li."

Ye Jingtang raised his eyes, didn't ask any further questions, waited for a while on the side of the street, and saw Luo Nuxia coming out, holding a palm-sized silk cloth bag in his hand, and put it in his arms after going out, with a look of embarrassment on his face. It's a bit weird.

Ye Jingtang didn't know why, so he asked:
"what happened?"

"It's nothing. The things in this shop are very expensive. A small coat can cost a hundred taels of silver, which is still a human price."

When Ye Jingtang heard about such an expensive luxury coat, his expression changed obviously:
"What kind? Let's see, if you dare to slaughter customers in the capital, you can treat me as a bully..."

Luo Ning slightly twisted her waist, not letting Ye Jingtang take out her pocket:
"This is a tailor's shop that makes clothes for princes and generals. It's not a scam if you sell them at this price. Let's go, get busy with business first."

Ye Jingtang thought that Lady Luo was going to surprise him, so she stopped asking, and walked towards the east of the city together holding an umbrella...
-
Yun'an City occupies a huge area, but the resident population is also exaggerated. There are many people and little land. Most of the wealthy families in the city will set up separate courtyards on the outskirts of the city, and some super-large mansions will also be built outside the city.

Wu Wang Mansion, which is more than ten miles away from Yun'an City, is the property of the former royal family. When the Great Wei founded the country, it was given to the princes, and the queens were entrusted and left idle. Here, after the Empress came to power, she did not release the princes and sons back to their hometowns, and it has continued to this day.

In the afternoon, Ye Jingtang and Luo Ning came to the vicinity of the Dawang Mansion built along the river. In the distance, a three-story observation building stood by the river, and other buildings were hidden among the trees. There were many guards patrolling the surrounding area. .

On the way here, Ye Jingtang chatted with the surrounding people and learned that Prince Wu did know how to eat, but he had a good reputation. Occasionally, regardless of his status, he would go to a fisherman's house by the river and fish with the fishermen. Kill and eat to have fun with the people.

Although there are a lot of bad reviews about not respecting the royal demeanor, not doing business properly, and not having real skills, from the perspective of ordinary people, Yejingtang can't find a single stain; In his heart, it is impossible for him to doubt such an honest and responsible son.

After staring at the riverside for a moment, Ye Jingtang asked:
"How should we investigate this matter?"

Luo Ning was carrying the small medicine bag, like a little daughter-in-law accompanying her husband to enjoy the river view:

"In the last case in Zhuji Street, the deceased was a small official from the Ministry of Industry who was in charge of building the palace. He had been tortured to extort a confession. The murderer's job was likely to be related to the construction. If this matter is led by Prince Wu, the study , There may be related blueprints in the secret compartment of the bedroom."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang handed the umbrella to Luo Ning:
"The palace is very tightly guarded, and there is too much movement when the two of them go in. I'll sneak in and have a look. You are here to watch."

Luo Ning looked up at the sky: "It's inconvenient to do things during the day, why don't you wait until night?"

"Wu Wang's son went to the palace for a banquet, and when people come back in the evening, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to check."

"Then be careful, sneaking in will come and go without a trace, don't startle the snake."

"clear."

Ye Jingtang took out the folded face towel from his arms, put it on his face, first let the birds fly into the trees by the river, then plunged into the river in a calm place, like a dragon swimming, he touched the viewing tower by the river.

The son of the vassal prince is the successor of the vassal state, and his importance is self-evident. The palace is quite well guarded. Even on the riverside, there are still a few black-covered boats patrolling the river bottom from time to time.

Ye Jingtang took a deep breath, swam to the deep water area in the middle of the river first, made a big circle, and then returned to the riverside, looked up at the sky from the bottom of the water, saw that the circling posture of the birds was normal, and then went to the observation tower It quietly popped up under the stone platform outside.

step, step~~
Above the stone platform, two footsteps can be heard, walking on the stone ground, and a conversation can be heard vaguely:

"When your Highness goes to the palace for a banquet, you will inevitably be encouraged by the royal relatives to perform 'three mouths and one pig'. The son of the majestic vassal king is so humiliated..."

"It's not a humiliation. It's just for fun during the banquet. Your Highness is doing this to please the Holy Majesty and Prince Jing. You have to bow your head under the eaves. If you don't make the Holy Majesty happy, I don't know when you will be able to return to Wuzhou..."

……

Ye Jingtang leaned on the stone platform and listened carefully, and he could confirm that the two were the personal guards of King Wu, and they gradually moved away after passing around the viewing tower.

"Gu~~~..."

Birds chirped in the woods.

After Ye Jingtang confirmed that there was no one there, he went up to the stone platform without a sound, walked to the eaves, and listened attentively—there was no movement in the observation tower, and it seemed that there was no one there.

He was about to continue diving in, but when he moved his feet, he found some darker marks on the white stone bricks on the ground.

The traces seem to be spilled when moving things. I touched them with my toes, and found that the stained part is quite brittle. With a little force, there will be a soft 'click~' sound, like stepping on crushed charcoal residues, but actually stepped on cracks on the stains .

Ye Jingtang was slightly startled. He held his breath for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he lowered his head and continued to observe the traces. He felt that the stone had obviously been corroded by something. He thought about it, and looked inside through the crack of the door—— The Jinglou looks deserted, empty, with old wooden floors, and there are no suspicious objects.

Ye Jingtang couldn't figure out the reason for the time being, so he wrote down the matter, bypassed the viewing tower, and came to the back of the palace.

Only the eldest son Dongfang Yin lived in the big palace, and there were some maids and servants, but not many; the master left again when it rained, and the servants were a little idle, resting in a secluded place.

The Hall of Nightmare hangs upside down under the corridor, and the gecko passed through the corridor like a wall, and soon landed outside a large house.

The surrounding environment of the house is excellent, and there is even a small garden with a few small dogs in it.

This kind of dog is usually used for competitions. It is not surprising to keep it next to an idle son, but a dog is a dog, and the ability to watch the house is still there. As soon as Ye Jingtang was in the corner of the wall, two sleeping dogs lifted up. He turned his head and looked around.

Ye Jingtang frowned, feeling that this place was heavily guarded and definitely not an ordinary dude's residence, he slightly raised his hand as a signal.

Niao Niao is a bird, and it is much easier to walk through the house than Ye Jingtang. When it landed on a big banyan tree near the courtyard, it looked at a few dogs.

The dogs were all attracted and turned their heads to look at the birds on the tree.

Ye Jingtang moved quickly, came to the window of the house, found that the window was not locked, opened it and jumped into it silently.

Inside the window is the study room, which is adjacent to the bedroom. It is spacious and tidy, and there is nothing special about it.

Ye Jingtang listened carefully for a while, and then came to the bookshelf and looked at the books placed on the top - "The Secret History of the Queen", "The Secret Record of Joy", "The Continuation of Tears of Heroes"...
