Chapter 11 Do you still remember Shen Linlang?

After much deliberation, he finally chose to come to Changxing after assessing the situation in the palace.

From time to time, Luo Yuan will have tasks assigned to him.

Behind Luo Yuan is the prince, and he is one of the prince's minions in Huzhou.

In the past few years, he has helped the prince to do a lot of things. Luo Yuan left his eldest daughter Cheng Yan in the capital, promised to do things here, and arranged for Cheng Yan to enter the palace as a side concubine.

The crown princess was designated by the emperor two years ago. When the emperor's power collapses, the position of crown princess will inevitably change hands.

Even if Cheng Yu couldn't win the position of queen, being able to become a favored concubine would also allow his Cheng family to enjoy it endlessly in the future.

But no one thought that half a year ago, the servant of the household department would suddenly leave a blood book and hang himself...

The blood book was submitted to Qianqing Palace as quickly as possible, and no one knew what was written on it, but Luo Yuan sent him five hundred miles to send the letter to him urgently, telling him to remember to hand over the things that were going to be submitted to the Eastern Palace. Keep it carefully and don't let it out.

He knew the importance of that thing, but after the initial panic, due to the long period of calm, he gradually relaxed.

——Originally, this place is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the capital, even if they are fighting fiercely, how can anyone think that there are people holding such a deadly thing far away in the south of the Yangtze River?

However, after all calculations, he did not expect that someone would assassinate him!
……

After returning to the mansion, he briefed Yang Chan on the matter at hand, and Du Jian also went to Cheng Xiao to reply that he had failed to track down the bandits.

Cheng Xiao closed his eyes and waved his hands, as if he didn't want to see anyone.

After explaining a few words to the guards, Du Jian went back to the room first.

He leaned on the window sill to drink tea, and took out the broken jade pendant and stroked it in his hands.

Suddenly there was some noise on the beam, and the nimble young man jumped to the ground lightly and called out "Master".

Then he went around to his side: "Xie Peng has already led the people out, and when the city gate opens at dawn, you can leave the city with the closing disc. My master's luggage has already been packed, and no one will notice when I go out now."

Du Jian stared at the jade pendant in his hand, and said for a long time: "You go back first, let Xie Peng and the others stay where they are."

Tong Qi was slightly surprised: "The higher authorities didn't know about this operation. We only have so much time. If we delay it any longer, we may be alarmed."

"I've changed my mind." Du Jian said, "Let's stay and get the evidence as soon as possible before withdrawing."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and said slowly, "Do you still remember Shen Linlang?"

Tong Qi paused.

"Shen Changying's voice is exactly the same as Shen Linlang's. In addition, her surname is Shen, and her accent is from Yanjing. She went to Jiangnan to join the army three years ago, but Nankangwei could not find out her specific background.

"It just so happens that Shen Linlang is the same. Except for her name and voice, I don't know anything about her life experience, including her appearance."

Tong Qi's expression became serious: "My lord suspects that Shen Changying, who disturbed our affairs, is the young lady Shen?"

Du Jian looked at the faint morning light, his eyes became deep and distant.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, after all, she doesn't seem to know me."

Not only did she not know him, she even had no reaction to his appearance and to his whole person so far.

Even if he was blind three years ago, she wasn't blind. He didn't believe that she would have no impression of him after spending half a month together day and night.

Not to mention that this jade pendant played such an important role among them, she was also indifferent.

……

Changying carefully considered the feasibility of joining forces with Du Jian, and went to his yard to express his attitude.

Du Jian said: "From today onwards, I will try to keep an eye on Cheng Xiao. I guess he will make a move soon. Then we will play by ear."

Changying stared at him meaningfully: "Why are you so comfortable speaking in front of me?"

There is no sense of unfamiliarity or defensiveness at all, and he looks like an acquaintance who gets along day and night.

That's right, last time he said she looked like an old friend?As if she really recognized her, did she really meet him somewhere?
Du Jian glanced sideways at her, but said nothing.

Changying smiled and said, "Where is Jianwei from? He works for the Guangweihou Mansion, but he doesn't look like he's from Yanjing?"

Du Jian said indifferently: "Huizhou native."

Changying recalled the accents of several Huizhou generals in the battalion, and secretly agreed.Although his accent is not strong, some words still sound similar, so it should not be deceiving.

"Are you a palace guard?" she asked.

"No."

Changying frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't help being curious about his relationship with the Fu family: "What relationship do you have with the Fu family?"

When Du Jian heard this, he looked at her again.

Changying waited for his next words.

"Three years ago in Tongzhou, Zhuo Jing and I were trapped at the same time. It was she who took the jade pendant in my hand and scraped away the dirt so that we could meet again."

Changying was stunned.

"Mrs. Zun is the young lady of the Fu family?"

Du Jian glanced at her: "Her surname is Shen."
