Red makeup against the world

Chapter 122 The Japanese Assassins

Although the servants and servants are inconspicuous, they are the group with the largest number of people in the back house, and they are intertwined with each other because of their in-laws.Just like this time, if there are acquaintances among the servants to help, even if Mrs. Lin intends to make things difficult, it may not be successful.

Mrs. Lin just signaled He Xiang to deliver the food later, the coldness of the food is the result of late delivery.Talking in the back house is art. If she ordered to deliver cold food and cold dishes to the Xu family, she would be ridiculed without tolerance.

And if the Xu family has people in the big kitchen, as long as they deliberately move the Xu family's meals to the end, and then order them to be delivered, the Xu family will not lose anything except for eating later.

Therefore, choosing the servant girl among the children of the Tu family is actually looking at the layers of relationships behind the servant girl.

A servant girl has her own parents and family, right?For example, Cuixiu, her elder brother is in charge of Ma Lang, and her parents are also working in Tu's house.In choosing a maid, besides the girl's own character and ability, the relationship behind it is more important. If there are suitable ones, Xu Wan really doesn't mind raising a few more people.

So when Mrs. Xu said that she would choose half of the maids from the Tu family's offspring, Xu Wan really understood her intentions.She grew up immersed in a modern political environment, and has a natural keen intuition for these networks.

Only the Lin family, who was born as a concubine after all, did not manage the family properly when she was a girl, so how could she know how to do it?I was thinking about the money to spend.Immediately agreed happily: "This matter is easy to handle, I will tell you to go down, and let He Xiang bring people to Qingzhuyuan in a few days."

Walking around Tu's house, the drizzle in the sky gradually increased.

Sangzi held her umbrella and said, "Miss, be careful that the road is slippery, don't get your embroidered shoes wet."

The drizzle in spring is not cold, bringing bursts of cool breath.Xu Wanzhen took her sangzi and walked slowly in the lush vegetation, feeling relaxed and happy.

In the stronghold of the Feng Group in Luoyang City, Yingfeng stretched and walked to the courtyard.

Last night, I was busy processing information until the sky turned pale. I woke up feeling full of energy.Thinking of meeting Xu Wanzhen tonight, I couldn't help but feel excited.Taking a deep breath, Yingfeng looked at the scenery in the rain and felt satisfied everywhere, seeing how green the leaves were, how pleasant the spring rain was, even the people who hurried in at the door were pleasing to the eye.

Yingfeng paused, isn't this person Feng Jiu?He should be on duty in the palace at this time, what is he doing here?
Feng Jiu stepped forward, bowed and said: "Feng Jiu pays respects to Mr. Yingfeng, the Lord has ordered, enter the palace immediately!"

Yingfeng's face turned serious, the promised ten days had not yet arrived, so calling at this time must be something urgent.Hurriedly, together with Feng Jiu, they entered the palace.

When they arrived at the side hall, they found that both Ying Yu and Ying Lei were there. Ying Yu's expression was serious, no longer the usual seductiveness.

Yingfeng asked the two of them, "Do you know what happened?"

"I have received news that there are traces of Dongying assassins in the Yangzhou area of ​​Jiangnan Road. The master summoned me, and it may be related to this." Yingyu said.

"Assassin of Dongying? I found a woman named Dongniang in Yangzhou. She was the leader of the assassins who infiltrated Gaomang from Dongying. The team went all out to investigate, but there is no news of her." Yingfeng paused, and said: "I once suspected that she was related to King Qianyang, but there is no evidence."

If there is such a team of assassins under King Qianyang, it will be very difficult.Several people deeply understood the truth, and fell into deep thought.

The tall figure of Emperor Qinglong appeared at the entrance of the main hall, and the three of them bowed to salute.

"There are Japanese assassins sneaking in, let me tell you what you think." Emperor Qinglong said in a deep voice.

"Return to the Lord, kill him." Yinglei said concisely, he was responsible for the cleaning duties, and killing people was his old profession.

Yingfeng thought for a while, and expressed his concerns: "My lord, Dongying rogues have always been active along the coast. My subordinates found Dongniang, the leader of the rogues in Yangzhou, and another assassin appeared at this time. In terms of time, it was King Qianyang who was missing It happened after the account books and letters, this incident is by no means accidental. But there is no direct evidence, it is just a subordinate's guess."

"What do you think."

"My subordinates speculate that the evidence of King Qianyang's private mining of iron ore, casting of armor and weapons, and sale of private salt is undeniable. After the evidence was stolen, he panicked, and the masters he sent came back without success, so he kept the evidence privately. The Dongying Assassins were released to create chaos in Jiangnan Road."

Emperor Qinglong was silent, and King Qianyang was the second son left behind by the abolished concubine.His heart is attached to the abandoned princess, and he loves her two sons very much.The eldest son was canonized as the prince on the day he ascended the throne.The second son could not be counted as a descendant of the middle palace, so he could only go to the fief to open a mansion and build a government office. He chose the wealthy Qianyang City in Jiangnan Road as his fief.

On the day when the fourth group of shadow guards handed in the task, he saw the evidence presented by Yingfeng, and his heart felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.He didn't understand why that well-behaved child would do these things.Hearing Yingfeng's analysis, although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, he actually understood that the Dongying assassin would not appear for no reason, but he didn't know, what did King Qianyang want to do?
Yingyu respectfully said: "My lord, if Yingfeng's guess is true, then moving the King of Qianyang will be a threat."

Since the founding of the country, the political situation of the Gaomang Dynasty is now stable. Although the civil servants have factional struggles, they all have a tacit understanding with each other and will not resort to assassination and other means.Otherwise, if a person disagrees with his political views, he will be assassinated by someone. Wouldn't everyone be in danger?
However, if King Qianyang disregarded the consequences, let go of his hands and feet, and used Dongying assassins to assassinate local officials and high-ranking officials, the civil service system of the Gaomang Dynasty would be hit unprecedentedly, and the operation of the entire dynasty would be threatened. in the collapse.If government orders are blocked and local regimes are separated, the world will be in chaos.

It was a matter of Guozuo, and Emperor Qinglong didn't care about the reason of Qianyang King. He no longer hesitated, and said decisively: "I have secretly ordered Chun Yujun, the governor of the Jiangnan Dao Navy, to secretly mobilize the navy to besiege Qianyang City secretly, and wait for the order. .Lei, you immediately lead the Lei team to Jiangnan Road, if you find Dongying assassins making trouble, kill them one by one."

Emperor Qinglong wrote a secret decree in a "swipe" and handed it to Yinglei, saying: "When you arrive at Jiangnan Road, you immediately hand this over to Chunyu Jun. Be sure to control Qianyang King, if he resists," Emperor Qinglong Struggling in my heart, I still said decisively: "It doesn't matter whether you live or die."

Yinglei suddenly agreed.

"Feng, Yu, you two, send more people, and immediately go to Jiangnan Road to investigate the origin of the Dongying Assassin. We must find out who is behind the scenes." Emperor Qinglong still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that the Dongying Assassin had nothing to do with Qianyang King. relation.

Although the evidence is solid, every crime points to Qianyang King's preparation for rebellion.But if that was the case, Emperor Qinglong could still be merciful and at least save his life for the rest of his life.
