Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 229 If you are a fox, you will always show your tail

Jiang Jinyan looked at the long convoy in front of him under the green shade, and sighed, "Once you make a choice, there is no turning back when you open the bow. You should cherish each other. Although the northwest frontier is bitter and cold, the defense of Qiangzhou is the grandfather The palm of your hand, the Holy Majesty also meant to protect the Fang family."

Fang Lijin nodded, "Go back, there are still many things to do..."

Back in Luoyang City, Fang Lijin took Jiang Jinyan into a tea house. After the two entered the private room, Fang Lijin said leisurely, "Serve tea."

Soon, a clerk arrived in front of Fang Lijin with a white porcelain teapot, "Master is really lucky." He said and glanced sideways at the beauty sitting across from him.

Fang Lijin glared at him, "No eyes? Go get another pot of tea."

Jiang Jinyan had already smelled the scent of wine in the white porcelain teapot, she sniffed it lightly, "The best Qiulubai... seems to have been mixed with some..."

Fang Lijin smiled and said, "A little bit of willow green."

Willow Green is an excellent tea.

Jiang Jinyan laughed when he heard the words, "My cousin is a bit interesting. You don't need to serve tea anymore, just use some fine wine and tea."

Fang Lijin waved his hand, "Why don't you go down soon?"

The guy was stunned when he heard this, and quickly retreated.

Fang Lijin poured a small cup for Jiang Jinyan, "Just try Jinyan, if Zhen Guohou knows about it, I'm afraid he won't be able to spare me."

Jiang Jinyan smiled slightly and took a sip, suddenly felt the aroma of wine and tea mixed in his mouth, which made people frown at first, but the aftertaste was endless after careful tasting.

"not bad."

Fang Lijin gulped it down, "Jin Yan, you have some clues about what you entrusted to me. This Chengnan gambling house is still in the hands of Wang Fu. It is the brother of the Wang family in your house. It was supposed to be Wang Qingduan, but I didn't expect that after Wang Qingduan died, this Wang Fu would be even more arrogant, seemingly fearless."

Jiang Jinyan hurriedly said, "Is there anyone else behind?"

Fang Lijin nodded, "It must be so."

"Could it be King Duan?" Jiang Jinyan raised his eyes and blurted out.

Seeing that she was suspicious of King Duan again, Fang Lijin said in puzzlement, "Jin Yan, why do you keep refusing to let this King go? Could it be... is there any reason?"

Jiang Jinyan lowered his eyes, "I didn't invent King Duan's interest in Chengnan Casino, so I don't need to go into details...does it matter?"

Fang Lijin shook his head helplessly, "If it is said that King Duan is supporting him, we can't find out... If it's not that King Duan is hiding his hands and feet very well."

Jiang Jinyan frowned, "Since the relationship between King Duan and this gambling house cannot be found out, what is the role of this gambling house?"

Fang Lijin became stern when he heard this, "Jin Yan, although I don't know why you pay close attention to this gambling house, there is indeed a problem with this gambling house. A batch of bows and crossbows were lost in the Xuanwu camp a while ago. I suspect that this matter has something to do with Chengnan Casino!"

Jiang Jinyan turned pale with shock, managed to calm down and asked, "Is there any evidence?"

Fang Lijin shook his head, "There is no evidence, but my suspicion is about six or seven percent sure. Anyway, this gambling house in the south of the city is really hanging around, and I don't know who is hiding behind it?!"

Then he paused and said, "I also paid attention to the transfer of the title deed, and did not leave any clues to make people suspect us, but the next step is to investigate...it will be difficult."

Jiang Jinyan nodded, "I understand."

This matter was already a bit fishy, ​​not to mention that the person behind it couldn't be sure. Although the land deed was taken away, the other party did not move for the time being, which showed that the other party might want to catch a turtle in the urn!

"Let me go!"

The door was pushed open, and a tall boy walked in, "Sister Jinyan, Master, let me go."

Jiang Jinyan glared at Fang Lijin, "Why is Jin Yuan here?!"

Jin Yuan lowered his head and walked to Jiang Jinyan's side, "Sister Jinyan, don't blame Master, I'm here to learn the art of war."

Jiang Jinyan pressed his shoulder, "No matter what you heard or thought just now...you must not interfere in this matter."

Jin Yuan was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Master's manpower is no longer suitable to show up, I am the best choice! Sister Jinyan, you believe me! My skills are already very good!"

Jiang Jinyan turned his head away, "No."

Jin Yuan was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, "Sister Jinyan! Don't you want to know about the gambling house in the south of Chengnan? I promise not to cause trouble...just investigate!"

Jiang Jinyan's face turned frosty. She stared at Fang Lijin and said, "What did I order when I handed Jin Yuan over to you?"

Fang Lijin shrugged, "I really can't control this kid."

Jin Yuan was also very ashamed in his heart, he was a very powerful person in the army no matter what he did, but now he turned into a charming young man in the eyes of this beauty!

"Sister Jinyan, if I can bring down Guanshi Jiang, you will agree to this matter, okay?"

Jiang Jinyan still didn't reply.

Jin Yuan was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, so he quickly winked at Fang Lijin who was beside him.

Fang Lijin suppressed a smile and shrugged his shoulders, who made you, brat, only like Jin Yan?

Jiang Jinyan sighed at this moment, "What on earth are you thinking? I won't force you to do anything, but I don't want you to live in a muddle either."

Jin Yuan stood up straight, "I know that the gambling house in the south of the city is very important, and it is even involved in the affairs of the army. I also want to take this opportunity to exercise myself. Sister Jinyan, I will protect myself."

Fang Lijin patted him on the shoulder, turned around and said to Jiang Jinyan, "Jin Yuan thinks more thoroughly than us about many things."

Jiang Jinyan was silent for a moment, "If you can't arrange it properly, you are not allowed to act rashly."

Jin Yuan raised his eyes, the light in his eyes was full of determination, "Sister Jinyan, don't worry."

When Jiang Jinyan returned to Jing'an Hou's Mansion, Lianchun greeted Xiao Jincheng who could no longer live in **. She coaxed Xiao Jincheng with a smile and said, "Look? The eldest lady is back."

Jiang Jinyan accepted Xiao Jincheng with a smile, "It's not that heavy again."

Lian Chun took over the dancing little Jin Cheng with a smile, "Miss, don't think that the young master is still young, he has great strength. I haven't moved much today, and I'm afraid I will pester someone to climb the corner of the table again soon."

Jiang Jinyan scratched his nose, and said with a smile: "The child should move more at this time, our brother Cheng is very strong, isn't it?"

Xiao Jincheng giggled and waved his fleshy little arms again.

After entering the room, Jiang Jinyan changed his clothes, and became more energetic after taking a bath. Yu Mo and Xue Yan entered the room one after another.

"Miss." Xueyan is much more cheerful now, and her handwriting is also very good, letter after letter keeps going to Huaizhou.

Jiang Jinyan looked at her sleeves which were still stained with ink, and said with a smile, "Finish the letter? Are you free to come to my place today?"

There was a blush on Xue Yan's face.

Yu Mo also said with a smile: "I saw that this girl received a letter from Huaizhou yesterday. This letter must have been written long ago. What's going on today? Do you need to polish it?"

Xue Yan stomped her feet and ran out blushing, "You..."

Seeing her back, Jiang Jinyan smiled gratifiedly, "I'm not mistaken about Xiao Yizhi's character."

Yu Mo nodded, "I just don't know when Mr. Xiao will return to Luoyang."

Jiang Jinyan didn't know what Xiao Yizhi wanted to do. The layout of this life was so different that it was really impossible to figure it out. She smiled and shook her head, "Let's just let it happen, but Xiao Yizhi is very smart. Something will happen."

Yu Mo nodded, and seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "Miss, I heard that the Wang family and the second lady have become more and more silent during this period, and the second lady who used to always run to Duanwang's mansion has also started to stay behind closed doors. Mrs. Wang was even a little strange, invited the Bodhisattva back, saying that she wanted to calm down, and the master even went to see it once, so that she didn't have to treat herself harshly."

Jiang Jinyan smiled, "Don't worry, a fox will always show its tail."

What's more, it should be Qiansha who is so anxious now, her stomach can't be hidden for long.

Yu Mo nodded, "Miss is right."

At this time, because He Lan gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, the reward from the Holy Majesty also arrived at Jing'an Hou Mansion. Jiang Shilian accepted the decree tearfully, and then came to say goodbye to Jiang Jin.

Jiang Jinyan understood that she wanted to return to He's family, so she added many gifts to show her identity, Jiang Shilian was very grateful.

Now that she has seen the situation clearly, she has entrusted He Lan to Jiang Jinyan, and she had never been to Wang's before she left.

The accompanying eunuch was from He Lan Palace, and he described the situation in the palace to Jiang Jinyan. Now that He Lan has become a serious Concubine Lan, the Ningde Palace is really owned by her, which is unexpected. The Holy Majesty also praised Wen Chunxiao, and even made him a concubine.

Although Jiang Jinyan was surprised, he felt that something was wrong, and then the eunuch said: "Our lady is in confinement, and she didn't want to see Lady Wen. Not long after, Lady Wen moved out of Ningde Hall and lived in Changyan Hall. There are many rewards."

He Lan rewarded the little eunuch with another chicken blood stone, and said, "If there is something you can't understand, please ask her to think about the First Prince."

The little eunuch said with a smile: "Our empress is doing well now, taking care of His Royal Highness the First Prince personally every day, about Empress Wen's affairs... Our empress only gave congratulatory gifts as usual, and never said anything else."

He Lan nodded, "That's good, let's go."

The eldest son of the emperor was added to the palace, and Ye Guiren was pregnant again. It can be said that there were many happy events, and then there were rumors that the palace was being renovated!
This news immediately flew into various noble houses with concubines in the palace as if they had grown wings.

The atmosphere in the Wang family suddenly became tense.

The people Wang Zhao sent to inquire about the news had already gone three times, but they still couldn't find any definite information. Even Wei Fuhai, that old fox, had learned to pretend to be plausible!
Wang Zhao was furious, "This old man thinks our Wang family has fallen?!"

Mrs. Wang on the side hurriedly persuaded: "Master, don't worry, we are thinking about the way out, we can't be so passive..."

Wang Zhao sat down without a word and fell into silence.

If the latter position falls into the hands of a family that is disadvantageous to him, it will be even more difficult for the Wang family!
He thought about those individual houses one by one, but they all felt that they were not qualified, and finally the whole main room fell silent.

"Master, could it be Concubine Lan who just gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor?"

Wang Zhao shook his head, "I heard that the eldest son of the emperor is not born well, and Concubine Lan's family is just a small family... I don't think the emperor will be confused, let alone, I heard that there is something about the empress dowager in it."

Mrs. Wang turned pale with shock, "The Empress Dowager? Didn't she stop interfering with the affairs of the court?"
