431: Means The news of Marquis Pingbei's assassination was quickly sent back to Marquis Pingbei's mansion, and at the same time, he sent a letter to the palace, asking the emperor to appoint an imperial physician to save his life.When Zi Jin and the others arrived, the whole Princess Mansion was in a hurry like a headless fly, Zi Jin frowned, what if the enemy's spies sneak in like this?

I have to say that the assassination of Marquis Pingbei really turned the Hou mansion upside down, but since the father-in-law was injured, how could Zijin, the daughter-in-law, visit her in the house, and she always wanted to avoid suspicion.Seeing that the Princess Mansion is in such a mess, with no order inside or outside, she turned her head to look at Ye Mingxuan and said, "Go in and see your father, I'm here to tidy up the house, it's like this, in case someone fishes in troubled waters, come in a couple more A spy looking for information is a terrible thing."

Zi Jin's voice was not low, everyone from Madam Ye, Du Manqiu down to Ye Jin and Ye Fan and his wife could hear clearly.This is the eldest princess' mansion, the eldest princess is guarding Ye Qingcheng, Ye Mingxuan and Zi Jin are the ones who can come out to preside over the overall situation, after all they are the eldest princess' direct son and daughter-in-law.

Ye Mingxuan glanced at Zi Jin's stomach worriedly, and Zi Jin said: "I'm fine, and I don't need to do it myself, I'm just talking about it, don't worry." Now, who is Ping Beihou, who was seriously injured like this.

Ye Mingxuan nodded, "I'll ask Nanny Jiang to come out to help you, and I'll go in and see my father first." Ye Mingxuan's voice trembled a little when he mentioned the word father, and his eyes were red.

Zi Jin nodded, looked at Chu Xiangyu and Shen Ruoniang and said, "Eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are here to accompany me, I haven't gone through many things by myself, and I still need the help of two sister-in-laws."

Chu Xiangyu and Shen Ruoning naturally agreed, and Ping Beihou was so injured that they followed the past to avoid suspicion and could not enter the house to visit.I'm afraid they will be a little bit angry if they follow Du Manqiu's side, but Zijin's opening like this freed them.The two of them didn't know anything in their hearts, and they naturally agreed with their husband's approval.

Zi Jin stood there with her slender hand supported, grabbed a panicked little girl and asked, "Where is the meeting hall?"

The little girl pointed in the direction tremblingly, Zi Jin nodded, and said to the little girl, "Go and gather all the stewards in the princess mansion to the meeting hall, and say that the princess has something to order."

As soon as the little girl heard Zi Jin's words, she looked at her slightly raised stomach, and knew who this was in front of her, she hurriedly agreed, and went away.

Zijin entered the conference hall with the support of several maids from Delicate Hanmei. There were only two dim lamps in the hall, and there was no brazier in the room.Sitting in an armchair beside him, he waited quietly.

Soon Mama Jiang arrived first, looked at Zijin and bowed first, Zijin was inconvenient, so she asked Xianqiao to help her up.Mother Jiang's face was pale, seeing that Zi Jin didn't know what she was going to do for a while, and she was still worried about the eldest princess, so she felt a little uneasy.

Zi Jin looked at Mother Jiang and said, "Mom, who is usually in charge of the inner and outer courtyards of the Princess Mansion?"

"The old slave is in charge of the inner courtyard, and the outer courtyard is in charge of the Pingda steward." Although Madam Jiang was a little dissatisfied with Zijin's nonsense at this time, she didn't dare to go too far, so she could only reply in a restrained manner.

Zijin nodded, "Nurse, please invite the steward of Pingda, I have something to tell."

Seeing that Zi Jin acted like the owner of the Princess Mansion, Madam Jiang couldn't bear it any longer, "Young Madam, the Marquis is critically ill, and the Eldest Princess is very busy, what are you going to do? It's better to calm down, the old slave still has things to do."

"Mother Jiang just needs to go. Marquis Ping Bei was assassinated outside the gate of the eldest princess. I'm afraid there are some unclear things in it. I didn't do this to show my prestige. Now the house is in a mess. If he is killed again People can take advantage of the opportunity..." Zi Jin said slowly, Mother Jiang only cared about the eldest princess, she didn't really have any malice towards her, and Zi Jin didn't want to quarrel with Mother Jiang, so she had to speak out first Well, Mother Jiang understands it, so naturally she knows everything.

Nanny Jiang suddenly came to her senses, and couldn't help but look up at Zi Jin, only to see Zi Jin sitting there with a serious face, and the pressure in her life was doubled.Thinking of Zi Jin's words, I felt a little worried, and since my thoughts changed, I hurriedly said: "This old slave is overstepping the rules. The young lady only needs to give orders, and this old slave can do anything."

The meaning in Zi Jin's words is actually very simple, how could Marquis Ping Bei be assassinated in front of the princess mansion for no reason?If there is some kind of eunuch in the princess mansion who communicates with others and reveals the whereabouts of Marquis Pingbei... Mammy Jiang dare not even think about it.

I didn't expect my young lady to be so powerful, she could think of this in a blink of an eye, there is still no dissatisfaction at the moment.

"Since you understand it silently, please ask the mother to order people to close the gate of the mansion immediately. No matter who wants to leave the mansion, they must have the right cards, and those who do not have the right cards will be tied up directly. In addition, let the housekeepers in each house The son counted the number of his subordinates, and reported whoever was missing immediately. Two capable women were guarded at the second gate of the inner courtyard, and whoever wanted to make trouble without rules or distance, or who was lazy and evaded all hit the board Shut it up in the woodshed."

Zi Jin ordered slowly and unhurriedly. At this time, Ping Shu, the chief manager of the outer courtyard, had also arrived and was standing outside the door. Hearing Zi Jin's words, his heart shuddered.Something happened in front of the Princess Mansion, and he, the butler, was duty-bound. For the sake of safety, he had already ordered people to close the door and leave the house. Anyone who wanted to go out would hold the right card. He had been in charge of the house for decades. It's easy to do this thing, but I didn't expect that such a delicate woman as the third young lady could be so decisive, and beads of sweat rolled down her brows.

Mother Jiang listened to Zijin's assignments one by one, she was still dissatisfied, she was busy making arrangements, she met Pingshu at the door, Pingshu came in to meet Zijin, and reported the arrangements she had made over again.

Zi Jin looked at Ping Shu, and saw that this person was very calm, and he spoke and acted steadily, nodded, "Ping's work is excellent, and when the matter is over, rewards and punishments will be clearly defined, and you won't be overworked."

"Young Madam, I don't dare to be a slave, this is what a slave should do." Ping Shu replied sternly.

"Now that there are sudden changes, it is time for the entire family to work together to overcome difficulties. Madam Jiang guards the inner courtyard, and I will leave it to you to manage the outer courtyard. There are more than a hundred people, and there are no headless flies. What's the point of having no gaps? First, go and restrain the people under your command, take an inventory, and sort out those who are on duty or not." Zi Jin said.

Jiang Nanny nodded and left, Ping Shu looked at Jiang Nanny's attitude, didn't say much at the moment, turned around and ordered the little steward under him to follow Zi Jin's words.The two of them had been busy for quite a while before returning to the conference hall. At this time, the brazier had already been lit in the conference hall, and it was getting warmer. The hot tea was also served. The people under his command were neat, but this also showed the negligence of the two of them, who actually let the master suffer from the cold in the hall.

"Young Madam, the word has been passed on, and the stewards below have already followed the order to investigate, and I think there will be a result soon." Jiang Mama stepped forward and replied, showing a lot of respect for Zi Jin's attitude.

"The servant has already made all the arrangements." Ping Shu stepped forward and replied, with his head down, keeping his duty.

Ping Shu had known for a long time that the princess's daughter-in-law was a well-known King of Hades in Beijing, and she didn't take people seriously at first. To have a woman with such a title is just a bit fierce and spoiled, so what good means can she have.But when Zijin entered the mansion tonight, she sat there peacefully, but the things she ordered were one after another, so that no one dared to ignore them.

At first glance, it doesn't matter, but when you think about it carefully, Pingshu's back is faintly sweating.The third young lady seemed to ask him and Nanny Jiang to sort out the servants in his hands. This sorting was also mentioned by Zi Jinming, who was on duty or not, how to sort out?That is to ask these people to tell what they are doing tonight, who is there to testify for you, whether the person on duty is slacking off, whether the wrong person is in his own house, or has he gone to another place? What is the place going to do again.

Thinking about Zi Jin's intention behind doing this, Ping Shu no longer dared to underestimate Zi Jin, this young lady wanted to investigate the internal suppression in the mansion and there was no collusion with outsiders.Otherwise, how could Ping Beihou be assassinated at this time?Although Lord Hou would ask to see him in front of the door every day, the time of his arrival was different every day.What's more, it's New Year's Eve tonight, so Lord Hou naturally wants to watch the New Year's Eve in the Pingbei Hou Mansion, who would have thought that he would come here?If someone really wanted to ambush Pingbeihou, he would not have thought that Pingbeihou would come back to the Princess Palace at this time.But Marquis Pingbei was injured and was still in danger. If he could get the news so quickly to carry out the assassination, it meant that someone in the princess mansion sent a letter to someone. Although it can't be confirmed for sure, it is very suspicious.

The third young lady took advantage of the lack of rules in the mansion and opened up to rectify, but she was wearing such a cover to confuse the enemy's mind, and she wanted to find out if there was such a thing as internal suppression.With such a meticulous heart, such quick reactions, and such sharp methods, Ping Shu has met many people in the past few decades, but there are very few people who can have such courage and methods when Zi Jin is so old.

After thinking it through, she became more and more in awe of Zi Jin, and stood there without saying a word, making up her mind to do whatever Zi Jin ordered.

While Ping Shu was thinking, Nanny Jiang also told Zi Jin the ins and outs of the matter in detail. Zi Jin frowned and said, "That means Master Hou stood outside the door for a long time Did you get hurt by someone?" It seems that I was right in my prediction, there is indeed internal suppression in this mansion!
