Chapter 79
After hearing this, Jiang Feng insisted: "Although she is familiar with everything, she has limited manpower and needs help from others."

Siqing thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Sit down for a while, I'll go out for a while." After speaking, she came out of the main hall, walked along the corridor to the back, looked up, and saw Xiao Yi was writing a post on the Zhanyun Tower, so she smiled Said, "You really know how to find places." As he said, he picked up his skirt and went upstairs.

Xiao Yi asked: "Madam Yuanxi is gone?"

Si Qing said: "No, I don't quite agree with her insistence on going south to meet Ling Bo. But this time the pressure is tight, and I'm also worried that something will happen to Ling Bo."

Xiao Yi accepted the post, thought for a while and said: "Let Tang Peng go, he has stayed in Fujunwei, and has been to Taizhou."

It was inconvenient for Siqing to meet the generals of the forbidden army in person, Xiao Yi came forward and called Tang Penglai, Jiang Feng and Lu Chu told about Lingbo's situation in Taizhou, everyone guessed and discussed several possible situations, Tang Peng then resigned first Go out, ready to go south to Taizhou again.

After Tang Peng left, Siqing asked about Dingfan's eyeliner in the imperial capital again. Lu Chu said: "After the imperial court released the people who had been arrested and returned to the capital by King Pingjun, a total of three people stayed in the imperial capital directly. One is Mr. Fu, there is another one who has a relative who is a butcher in the capital and voted for his relative. Another one is his daughter who was sold to Liu Shilang's house in the Ministry of Rites and became a housekeeper and voted for his daughter. In addition, there are four After he was released, he went out of Beijing to sell some leather goods in the north, and then returned to Beijing, where he opened a warehouse in the west of the city, and his behavior was strange, these four should be Dingfan people."

Jiang Feng interjected: "At first, some people in the Duan Palace were watching Mr. Fu and the three of them. However, the uncle of the Wu family has a deep foundation in the imperial capital, and Liu Shilang has never had anything to do with Dingfan. The Duan Palace mainly focused on the one who voted for a relative to be the butcher. The four who sold the leather goods returned to Beijing. We missed a little bit, and Duan Wangfu withdrew all the people who were watching Mr. Fu and the three of them, and arranged them near the leather goods warehouse in the west of the city. Maybe we watched too closely. , so far, the people who have settled down have not taken any action."

Siqing nodded and said, "You should also be careful. If they don't move, don't startle them."

Before Shen Jiangdong heard that his wife was ill, he hurried back to Beijing.Jiang Feng took Fu Linchuan's medicine, and after two days of relief, he improved a lot. Shen Jiangdong was relieved to see this.Tang Peng went south to Taizhou, and Shen Jiangdong temporarily took over his errand.Ever since Jiang Feng was plotted against, Shen Jiangdong was very worried.He couldn't take care of him outside, so he cleaned up and down the Jiaguo Mansion several times inside to keep things safe.

After the Dragon Boat Festival in May, Yuan Lingbo and Tang Peng wrote back to Beijing. The letter only said that Tang Peng had brought back important people, but did not say who they brought back.Three days later, Tang Peng took people back to Beijing and settled in Shenji Camp outside the city. Jiang Feng was shocked when he went to see Tang Peng, and rushed back to the city to meet Siqing in Xiyuan.

It just so happened that Concubine Ding'an, Xiao Yi and the Eldest Princess were admiring the flowers in Xiyuan, and Siqing met Jiang Feng alone on the Wanyue Building, and after hearing what she said, she told her to sit down first, and went back to the stone boat by the lake and said softly. Said a few words to Xiao Yi.

To the west of Taiye Pool, there are three couplets in the room, like a half boat, like a boat without tie.Concubine Ding'an was sitting among them, and she was holding a butterfly-bound book to teach the eldest princess to read. Seeing this, she smiled and asked, "What's your whisper?"

Xiao Yi said for Siqing: "Siqing said that Shen Yuanxi's wife is well, and she will go outside the city to fulfill her vows tomorrow, and then stay in Zhiyuan for two days."

Concubine Ding'an said: "It should be so. Speaking of Zhiyuan, I don't think it's a good name. 'Zhi' is the same as 'zhi', and nothing is moving." After speaking, pointing to the book, "There is no way to show your ambitions." "One sentence, and then said, "According to me, it's better to change the name to Tantai. Siqing went to change the plaque, and I will go for a walk in June."

Siqing quickly agreed, and said with a smile, "There is such a surname, pronounced 'Tan'." After finishing speaking, he said, "I'm going to make some dim sum." He went to Wanyue Tower again, and said to Jiang Feng, "I want to see you." Meet this man. I will go to Zhiyuan outside the city tomorrow, so I will meet you in Zhiyuan."

Wan Xi Xiao Yi asked Si Qing: "Who did Tang Peng bring back?"

Siqing added incense and said: "Will you go to the person who makes the answer ready to come?"

"I won't go," Xiao Yi said, "You go on your own."

Siqing asked: "Could it be that there is something that scares you?" Xiao Yi didn't answer, the two had their own concerns, and Siqing asked again, "Why doesn't my little lady love the word Zhi? Do you want to change the name Zhiyuan?"

Xiao Yi said: "The former owner of Zhiyuan, Concubine Du Shu of the late emperor, had a boudoir name with the word Zhi."

Siqing let out a groan, and the two of them had nothing to say all night.

The next morning, when Siqing was dressing up, Xiao Yi said that he was going back to the palace, and suddenly he sat behind Siqing and asked, "Tantai is remote, you go by yourself, are you afraid?"

Siqing dismissed Fairy Jin's heart and kept silent. When Siqing was about to leave, Xiao Yi followed Siqing into the car.Siqing held back her smile, Xiao Yi didn't speak, and walked halfway out of the city, Xiao Yi couldn't help asking: "You don't want to ask me anything?"

Siqing raised her eyebrows and said, "Would you say why you are duplicity?"

When the two arrived at Tantai, Tang Peng and his party hadn't arrived yet.Xiao Yi asked someone to replace the plaque, and Siqing ordered Yunchu to lower the curtain in the middle of the main hall, and then put a sandalwood screen on it, and then said to Yunchu: "Tell my sister, ask her to ask, we will only listen in the back." , keep silent."

Yunchu agreed, and waited for Tang Peng and his party to go up the mountain in front of the mountain gate.After waiting for two quarters, Jiang Feng was in front, followed by Tang Peng, and a woman in a veiled hat approaching.Yunchu stepped forward and muttered a few words to Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng nodded, and everyone walked into Tantai.Tantai's early summer is full of luxuriant colors, and everyone has no intention of admiring it.Stepping into the main hall, the windows were bright and clean, and the light and shadow were dancing. Jiang Feng smiled slightly and said, "Miss Ji, this place is safe. If you have anything to say, you can say it."

Xiao Yi behind the screen was slightly startled, Si Qing tugged at his sleeve, but Xiao Yi remained silent.As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, the woman in the veiled hat slowly took off her veiled hat, revealing a plain face with tears in the corners of her eyes.

Tang Peng said: "Miss Ji, if you have anything to say, you can tell this lord here."

It turned out that the person Tang Peng brought back to the Imperial Capital was actually Ji Shuze who "died" in Cangchunlou for no apparent reason.

Ji Shu bowed slowly, "Have you asked this lord's name yet?"

Jiang Feng took out the token, "I, like Commander Tang, am a member of the Jingwei."

"Then that girl Yuan Lingbo?"

"It's my subordinate."

Ji Shu sighed, "Since I'm here, I won't hide anything. If you have anything to say, just ask."

Jiang Feng then asked: "Did He Xiang raise many dancers and musicians and placed them in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the Imperial Capital as eyeliners? Do they listen to your command?"

Ji Shu said: "Yes."

Jiang Feng asked again: "Aren't you dead?"

Ji Shu suddenly looked up at Jiang Feng, and suddenly said after a long while: "So it's you? Are you...is... Mrs. Jia Guogong? We should have met."

Jiang Feng said: "We should have met, but I'm very surprised, I didn't meet you. I just ask you, Chen Nanfei, who is it?"

Ji Shu said: "Who is Chen Nanfei, I don't know. I only know that Chen Nanfei has a very close relationship with the former Fuzhou governor. Since Xining 13 years ago, He Shizhi began to exchange gold and silver with Fuzhou. Therefore, also why do things properly.”

Jiang Feng listened and asked: "Chen Nanfei communicated with He Shizhi through you, right?"

"Yes," Ji Shu readily agreed, "it is through me. I usually contact He Shizhi through the youngest son of the He family. Mrs. Jiaguo, as far as I know, Chen Nanfei was ordered by He Shizhi to live in Xining The daughter-in-law who assassinated Ye Xiang in 13 years is now Zhonggong. But at that time, the Fuzhou guard behind Chen Nanfei was unwilling to offend Ye Xiang, so Chen Nanfei asked someone to assassinate him, but it was unsuccessful."

Jiang Feng asked, "What about when I enter Beijing?"

"When you entered Beijing, He Shizhi was worried that you would find out that the Fuzhou case was related to him, so he also wanted to order Chen Nanfei to take action against you. However, you have a lot of involvement in the imperial capital's black and white affairs, and Chen Nanfei was very afraid of that Mr. Wu. The sword, so I still didn't do it myself, I found someone to do it, and failed again," Ji Shu said, "He Shizhi was very displeased at first, but later He Shizhi was very happy."

"How to say?"

"When He Shizhi asked Chen Nanfei to assassinate you, he didn't even know that you had obtained a blood letter from the governor of Fuzhou. If Chen Nanfei succeeded in assassinating you, he must have obtained the blood letter and knew that the Fuzhou case was committed by He Shi. According to Chen Nanfei's temperament will definitely kill He Shizhi."

Jiang Feng's heart skipped a beat, "One copy?"

Ji Shu didn't understand what it meant, "Yes, it's the legacy of Fuzhou's guard."

Jiang Feng said: "I did get that booklet, but lost it later, didn't it go to He Shizhi?"

Ji Shu shook her head again and again, "He Shizhi has always been worried about that legacy, and he really didn't get it. I won't hide it from you, I saw Chen Nanfei before he disappeared."

Tang Peng was suspicious, "Have you seen him?"

"He was so drunk that he came over and questioned me. He asked me if He Shizhi had anything to do with the accident in Fuzhou guard? He also asked me whether Ye Xiang and He Shizhi were involved in this incident. Listen to his tone, He also didn't know about the death. I was very scared at the time, so I covered it up for He Shizhi, and only said that it was Ye Xiang who did it. I don't know how much Chen Nanfei believed it. After turning around and leaving, he Just disappeared." Ji Shu said.

"Did you warn him when he disappeared?"

"No, I never saw him again."

"When I got married, someone sneaked into my house to assassinate me and Zhonggong. Does it have anything to do with you?"

"After Chen Nanfei disappeared, He Shizhi was worried and canceled all plans. The assassination of Mrs. Jia Guo when she got married really had nothing to do with He Shizhi. However, I think it is possible that Chen Nanfei made a desperate move—after that, Chen Nanfei was in the hands of the Imperial Capital. Exhausted, I never saw his men again."

Jiang Feng nodded, and suddenly asked: "Miss Ji, does He Shi's son die after falling from a building, does it have anything to do with the girl?"

Ji Shu's complexion changed, she was silent for a moment, and suddenly said frankly: "Miss Xu was pushed down the stairs by accident while his son was molesting her. I didn't kill his son, it was an accident. Ever since Chen Nanfei disappeared, the He family began to suspect me." , I was unwilling, I couldn't bear it that night, I didn't find someone to rescue his son in time after he fell from the building."

Xiao Yi and Siqing behind the screen changed their expressions, only to hear Ji Shu say again: "I did everything very clean, and the He family didn't find anything. It happened that He Shizhi was paralyzed, and the He family was in chaos. No one cares about me."

Jiang Feng sighed, "You have been in Cangchun Building since then, who died in your room that night?"

"Then suddenly someone went to the Chunxiang Building where I stayed to check my old affairs. The waiter of the Chunxiang Building came to the Cangchun Building and accidentally said it. You come in. I was busy getting away and killed my maid—the dead person that Mrs. Jia Guo saw was my maid." Ji Shu seemed to be numb when talking about the past, her tone was flat and calm, as if she had nothing to do with herself No relationship.

Tang Peng asked: "After He Xiang left Beijing, why didn't you leave Cangchun Tower?"

Ji Shu said helplessly, "Of course it's because my mother is still in the He family."

Jiang Feng recalled: "The dead person I saw that day was your maid, and you pretended to be dead and lied to the madam... You may not know you when you are patrolling the Fifth Battalion, so you changed the bag when you sealed the coffin?"

"I didn't drop the bag," Ji Shu said. "My girl is gone, and they will be suspicious. When the coffin was nailed, I put incense and put some other things in the coffin, and the coffin was nailed dead. Then The crowd woke up dizzy, and when they saw that the coffin was crucified, they paid no attention to it. After the funeral, I threw out the body of the maid I killed before, and left Beijing quietly."

"You left the capital?" Jiang Feng asked, "Is it you who released Mixiang in the Chunxiang Tower earlier? Is it yours who went to my house to kill me later?"

Ji Shu shook her head and said, "Not at all, I don't have such a great ability. And it can't be Chen Nanfei's person, his manpower in the Imperial Capital has indeed been exhausted long ago."

After Jiang Feng heard it, he felt very suspicious. It must be who was trying to kill him with poison in the teahouse, but Ji Shu didn't know.Jiang Feng faintly felt that there was a more mysterious person behind He Shizhi, so he asked Tang Peng, "How did you find Miss Ji?"

Tang Peng replied: "Miss Yuan said that Miss Ji's mother could be rescued, it is purely coincidental, it is God's will."

Jiang Feng looked at Ji Shuze again, and Ji Shuze said: "My mother stayed in the He family for many years. After I fled to the south, I didn't dare to go back to Taizhou. I was afraid of being recognized, so I worked as a weaver in a neighboring county. To find out if my mother is doing well. Once I went to a mountain temple, and accidentally discovered that my mother would go to this temple to pray for blessings on the first day of every month, so I secretly went to the temple every month to visit my mother, but I dare not recognize her. On the first day of last month, I secretly heard my mother say that someone was trying to harm her in front of the Buddha. I was very anxious and didn’t know what to do. It rained heavily that night. Got knocked out."

Jiang Feng frowned and asked, "Who knocked you out? He Shizhi?"

Ji Shu shook her head, "It's Miss Yuan. I woke up and saw my mother was there. My mother said that someone had found me and went to the He family to inquire about me. The He family wanted to kill my mother to silence her. It was Miss Yuan who saved me." She. Miss Yuan said that the He family thought my mother was dead and the grave had been built, and told me not to worry, I would go north tomorrow to avoid the limelight. I don't know how Miss Yuan did it, and Miss Yuan refused to say. The next day Miss Yuan said that someone sent our mother and son to the north. When I saw that person, it turned out to be Mr. Tang. Although Mr. Tang didn’t know me, I had been in the Imperial Capital for many years, but I knew Mr. Tang from Jingwei. That’s when I knew about it. Jingwei is involved. Since He Shizhi is unkind to me, don't blame me for being unrighteous to the He family."

Seeing the ferocious look in her eyes, Jiang Feng asked, "Is that all you really know?"

Ji Shu gritted her teeth and said, "That's all I know. Now I've said it all. I don't regret my death. I just ask you two adults to keep my mother." After coming down, he bent down and bowed to Jiang Feng again.

Jiang Feng asked Tang Peng, "Is Miss Ji's mother settled?"

Tang Peng said: "Temporarily settled."

Jiang Feng nodded, and then said to Ji Shu: "Does Miss Ji still have a place in Gyeonggi?"

Ji Shu shook her head again and again, "Mrs. Jia Guo, after thinking about it, I can tell you that the person who has an identity and has an intersection with the wife's house is probably the one sent by He Shizhi to Fuzhou to assassinate the Duke of Jia in Xining 17 years ago." Jiangxue, I don't know if she is still alive? If she is still alive, please ask my wife to send my concubine to go with her."

Jiang Feng was shocked, he had never thought that Ji Shuze was so powerful, and in a moment he thought that Jiangxue had betrayed her, so he said, "Commander Tang, please go ahead, I'll take a look at the back." Seeing Yunchu coming out, Xiang Yun Chu nodded.

Yunchu understood, pulled Ji Shu up and walked away, Siqing came out from behind the screen, took a breath, "There are still many doubts unresolved, is there an expert behind He Shizhi? If so, what is behind him?" Who is it? Could it be Dingfan? Han Shoushen died in vain, why is Dingfan not responding?"

Everyone greeted Siqing, only to hear Siqing say again: "Lingbo did it very neatly this time, but I still tell her to be more careful. That girl Jiangxue has been raised for a long time, that's all, Miss Ji It’s really amazing, I have to find another way to arrange it.” Because Xiao Yi looked at the court tomorrow and was eager to return to the city, Si Qing thought for a while and said, “Maybe she still has something to say, let’s put her here. When I return to the city tomorrow, I will be in Xiyuan, call Lu Chu and the others, and discuss it again."

Just as he was talking, Yun Chu ran in with a face full of panic and said, "She committed suicide..."

Jiang Feng hurriedly went to look, only to see that Ji Shu's face was covered with blood, and he could not survive.Jiang Feng was puzzled and said, "Miss Ji, why..."

"That's all I know," Ji Shu said with difficulty, "I know you don't believe it... But I really know this much... As long as I live, my mother... will be difficult because of my existence." An Sheng. Mrs. Jia Guo, I've said it all, please...keep my...mother..."

After finishing speaking, a wisp of her soul disappeared suddenly. At this time, Siqing walked in and suddenly sighed: "She herself is very uncomfortable. She is not willing to betray the He family, and she is forced to betray the He family. Maybe she still wants to do it for the He family." The family killed Jiangxue and died with Jiangxue to atone for some sins. It's a pity that she can see that we will not let her succeed."

On the way back to the city, Xiao Yi's face was extremely ugly, and he didn't say a word.Si Qing knew that his patience with He Shizhi had reached its limit, and she didn't want to fan the flames, so she didn't say a word.Xiao Yi suddenly took Siqing's hand, and Siqing said: "Third brother, He Shizhi has become suspicious about the Fuzhou case's legacy, so he asked He Meiren to secretly record your manuscript. What are you going to do? You can't Is it always in your hands?"

"He Shizhi only knows that he has one share," Xiao Yi said coldly, "Since He Meiren is suspected by them, help her."

Siqing sneered, "How can I help her?"

Xiao Yi said softly: "Just give her a share."

"How would I give it to her? How would she explain it to her mother's family? Tell her mother's family that it was third brother you withheld it?" Si Qing mocked.

Xiao Yi said: "I know you have a way, and your way is the same as my heart."

Siqing also wanted to say a few harsh words, thinking that my method is crooked, and your heart is also crooked?Seeing Xiao Yi's chest rising and falling, he also restrained himself from saying anything.

After returning to the city, Siqing asked Xiao Yi, "Have you read Zhao Zhixin's poems?"

Xiao Yi asked, "Who?"

"Heng Leng's poems recall Ah Man, don't ask poets to call rough officials. Ting Ke attracts Dongfang Feng, but he is like a group of gulls." Siqing said coldly.

Xiao Yi suddenly said, "Why are you so inexplicable?"

Siqing asked, "Why am I confused?"

Xiao Yi sighed and said, "Pretend I didn't ask." After saying that, the two parted ways, Xiao Yi went back to the prison, and Siqing went to Xiyuan.At night, Xiao Yi opened the secret compartment, folded and sealed a blood book, and asked Ling Zhen to take it to Xiyuan and hand it over to Si Qing.In the early morning of the next day, Siqing suddenly asked someone to call He Meiren, saying that she was going to visit Duan Wangfu who had been ill for a long time.But when the group went to Duan Wang's mansion, Siqing said a few words to Duan Wangfei, put down the nourishing things and left.

Back in Xiyuan, He Meiren was puzzled.Ling Zhen came to tell Si Qing that Jiang Feng and others were here, Si Qing said: "Let them wait a while." Saying this, she dismissed everyone and handed a sealed envelope to He Meiren.

He Meiren was puzzled, and Si Qing said: "Don't ask what it is, just give it to your mother's family. Your mother's family got this, and they won't trouble you again in a short time. If they ask you where you got it, you just say When I went to Duanwang's mansion, I took advantage of people's unpreparedness and stole it from Duanwang's mansion."

He Meiren hesitated, "If the relationship between Prince Duan's residence and them has been provoked for no reason, they will find out..."

"You don't know the relationship between your mother's house and Prince Duan's mansion? You still need to provoke?" Siqing said nonsense, but her face was not red and her heart was not beating. "Besides, this thing was originally stolen from Prince Duan's mansion, but not You stole, I stole it. Why, do you still want to push it on me?"

He Meiren didn't dare to say it repeatedly, so she replied: "I know, I will handle this matter well."
