The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 677

In the wing room of Yuebin Building, King Ming suddenly woke up from a drunken dream. He opened his eyes and moved his body, and found that he was lying on the table.

He just... fell asleep?

It was already dark outside, and the beauties in the house were gone.

He stood up abruptly, but fell down with a thud in his legs.

The Jin Yiwei outside heard the movement in the house, and hurriedly dodged in.

"The king of the county!"

Several people saluted together.

The leader stepped forward and helped King Ming to his feet.

King Ming fell so badly that his head burst into pain.

"What's the matter with me?" He held his forehead and asked with tearing eyes.

Jin Yiwei helped him to sit back on the stool.

"No, no, my butt hurts." Sitting on the wooden bench for an entire afternoon, the iron butt can't stand it, let alone he is not an iron butt.

There was no bed for him to lie down here, so Jin Yiwei, the leader, had to call a companion to drive him one by one.

Although this is uncomfortable, at least the butt doesn't have to suffer.

"Gu, where's Miss Gu?" Duke Ming asked while holding his head that was about to crack.

Jin Yiwei, who was the leader, reported back: "After the king got drunk, Miss Gu left."

"What? You just let her go?"

"Your Majesty...you didn't order her to stay."

Isn't it because I thought she wouldn't go? Your heads are all made of wood?

King Ming choked.

Really, when the time is right, I am actually drunk.

King Ming wanted to blame the beauty, but he thought of the beauty's always aloof temperament, and felt that it was because he was drunk and left her there, which caused her to leave in anger.

"How about giving me a painting?"

"Jun Wang, is this it?" A Jin Yiwei picked up a... er... paper on the table?

Generally speaking, a painting given to someone like King Ming should be framed with a scroll, but this is indeed just a piece of paper, and it is a little crumpled, I don't know what's going on.

The king of Mingjun asked someone to draw it.

He looked intently, but couldn't even close his mouth.

What is this, this mess?

Are the paintings of beauties at this level?

How did this come about?

Too……

never mind,

He didn't fall in love with her because she could draw.

Her beauty is what really impresses me.

If you can't draw, you can't draw. At worst, I will teach her in the future.

Yes, that's right, he can take the opportunity of teaching the beauty to paint and invite the beauty again, I believe she will not refuse.

With a flash of thought, the haze in King Ming's heart was swept away, and he instantly became refreshed.

Just when King Ming was happily collecting the beautiful woman's handwritten paintings, the coachman suddenly came up and reported at the door: "Your Majesty, something happened to Prince Han!"

...

In a clean courtyard of the Han family, maids came out of the main room with basins of bloody water.

Han Shizi's injuries were terrible, and the doctor only spent half an hour cleaning his wounds.

Fortunately, his internal strength is profound, and he didn't hurt his foundation, but it was also very humiliating.

He sat on the chair with a cold expression, while Han Yong stood aside with a sigh.

"Let you go to bed and lie down for a while." Han Yong said.

"No need." Han Shizi was bare-chested, covering his chest and gritted his teeth.

Han Yong sighed: "Why are you stubborn? You have to lie down when you are injured."

Han Shizi said with cold eyes: "I said no."

The second uncle of the Han family stopped arguing with him on this topic, but asked: "Who did it? Hurt you like this?"

Han Shizi's martial arts is unrivaled among his peers in Shengdu, and those old guys who are older than him will not easily attack a junior.

Han Shizi recalled the masked teenager he saw on the roof, and he also felt very strange.

If there is such a young master in Shengdu, it is impossible for him not to have heard of it.

However, the opponent did not rely on martial arts to defeat him.

It's tricks and black powder.

He first used countless hidden weapons at him, making him think that all the weapons on his body were hidden weapons, which caused him not to choose to dodge when the opponent threw black powder.

Han Shizi recalled: "He used black powder."

Han Yong suddenly realized: "So it's black powder, no wonder it can hurt you... Wait, black powder? Isn't black powder something unique to the National Teacher Hall?"

Han Shizi shook his head: "It is true that the black powder was invented by the National Teacher Hall, but it has been used in the military, and the family can get it."

Han Yong pondered for a moment, then said: "Black powder is strictly controlled, it's not easy to get it."

This point, Han Shizi did not deny: "The black gunpowder was mixed with Mongolian sweat medicine, and what did he use on me in the end, it was not Mongolian sweat medicine, but it made me unable to move."

Han Yong pondered: "Black gunpowder...an unknown poison...could it really be done by the National Teacher Palace?"

Han Shizi said: "I have no grievances with the National Teacher Hall, why did the National Teacher Hall deal with me?"

Han Yong nodded: "That's true." The National Teacher Hall does not collude with any force, nor does it conflict with any force. To be precise, no family dares to conflict with the National Teacher Hall, and the National Teacher Hall naturally does not bother to embarrass it Any family.

Han Shizi asked the servant at the door: "Where is the county king? Has he arrived yet?"

As soon as the words fell, Mingjun Wang arrived.

Han Yong bowed his hands to King Mingjun. Han Yong is the bastard son of the Han family, and his status is incomparable with that of the direct line.

King Mingjun nodded slightly, his attitude towards Han Yong was naturally different from that towards Shizi Han.

"You all go down, second uncle, you stay."

The servants retreated one by one and closed the door, leaving only three of them in the room.

King Ming looked at the bruised and bruised Han Shizi, even though he had heard that he was injured on the way here, he was still shocked when he saw him: "Cousin, who hurt you like this?"

Han Shizi didn't answer his words, but asked instead: "Let me ask you, who did you go to see today?"

"Ah?" King Ming was taken aback.

Han Shizi said seriously: "Are you telling the truth yourself, or I will arrest your maid."

King Ming's pupils shrank!

Cousin, cousin actually saw that maid?

Han Shizi snorted coldly: "Or, I will report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to ask you in person."

King Mingjun begged: "Cousin! Don't tell my father! If my father knows... he will kill me."

The crown prince is extremely strict with King Ming, and he is not allowed to do anything that disgraces his reputation, otherwise he would not have hidden himself and refused to reveal his identity to the beauty.

Han Shizi said: "If you don't want me to look for the prince, you can tell me honestly, who did you go to see today? What did you do?"

King Mingjun had no choice but to explain the whole story of how he went to see the beauty: "... Cousin, you promised me, you must not let my father know!"

Han Shizi said lightly: "Come here, send the King of Ming County back to his residence!"

"Yes!"

After Ming Junwang left, Han Shizi closed his eyes angrily: "What do you think, Second Uncle?"

Han Yong said: "The student from Canglan Women's College must have something to do with this matter. She deliberately lured King Ming and the six guards around him away."

Han Shizi said with deep eyes: "Since the second uncle also thinks, it is necessary to investigate this person."

...

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and in a dormitory in Linglong Pavilion of Canglan Women's Academy, Xiao Qingkong was already asleep on the soft bed.

He opened his small mouth and snored evenly.

Xiao Heng called Xiao Jiu and asked him to guard the small clear space.

Afterwards, he went to the gatehouse to say hello, gave the gatekeeper a tael of silver, and asked her to sit in his room.

Small headroom usually won't wake up, but in case it wakes up halfway, it's always good to have someone.

It's one thing for him to have an accident, but it's another for him to be scared.

After finishing these, Xiao Heng put on the cloak, hat and veil of the cloak, and sneaked out of the academy.

On a big tree, a man in black winked at his companion: "Go! Follow!"

Xiao Heng's carriage stopped in front of a pawnshop on Huayang Street.

Xiao Heng got off the carriage.

The man of the pawnshop was closing the door, and said: "We are going to close, come back tomorrow!"

Xiao Heng took out a piece of written paper and handed it to him.

——I want to see your shopkeeper.

The buddy was slightly taken aback when he saw this sentence, and then looked at the other party carefully.

Xiao Heng wore a veil, but it did not affect his unique beauty. Some people can turn all living beings upside down with just a pair of eyebrows and eyes.

The clerk swallowed, and seeing Xiao Heng's black cloak revealing faintly the uniforms of Canglan Women's Academy, he said in a daze: "You, you wait a moment."

The guy ran in.

The sound of his conversation with the shopkeeper came from inside.

"Who is it so late?"

"One, there is a girl who wants to see you. She seems to have a very powerful identity and a strong aura."

The clerk ran out grinning, and said to Xiao Heng: "Please!"

...

Han Shizi has his own intelligence network, so the people he sends out are naturally not bad, except for the time when something went wrong when he followed Gu Jiao, they can all complete the mission satisfactorily at other times.

"My son, Sun Feng and Zheng Hai are back."

The guard outside the door reported.

"Let them in." Han Shizi said.

Han Yong took a sip of tea.

Two people enter.

Sun Feng reported: "My lord, my subordinates have inquired, and the student surnamed Gu is from Zhaoguo."

Han Yong was surprised, laughed, and said, "He's from Zhaoguo again. That Xiao Liulang is also from Zhaoguo, right? Is there any relationship between them?"

"It's hard to say." Han Shizi continued to ask Sun Feng and Sun Feng, "What else?"

Sun Feng replied: "Also, we tracked her down and found that she went to a pawnshop in Huayang."

Han Shizi asked: "There are several pawnshops on Huayang Street. Which one did she go to?"

Sun Feng hurriedly said, "Gui Ren Tang."

Han Yong took a weak breath, rubbed his chin and asked, "The one that used to be a pharmacy, but later turned into a pawn shop?"

Han Shizi fixed his eyes: "That's right."

Han Yong said puzzledly: "Wait, we checked that shop before, what's the name of the shopkeeper there... Wang Fugui! Yes, that's the name! Isn't he the eyeliner of His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Han Shizi said: "It's also the Nangong family's eyeliner. Guirentang is a contact point for the Nangong family to collect information."

Han Yong smiled sarcastically: "The king's wealth and wealth can be both. He is not only a prince, but also a member of the Nangong family, so he is not afraid of capsized?"

Although Nangong's family belonged to the prince's camp, presumably the prince would not like Nangong's family to buy his own people as eyeliner.

"Since you know, why didn't you tell the prince?" Han Yong asked his nephew.

Han Shizi said: "So what if I tell? Instead of letting the Nangong family buy someone new, it's better to just let Wang Fugui, at least let me keep an eye on him."

Han Yong smiled: "It makes sense."

Han Shizi looked at Sun Feng: "Did she go to the pawn shop to find Wang Fugui?"

Sun Feng respectfully replied: "Yes, she didn't go until the pawnshop was about to close, and met Wang Fugui directly. The subordinates didn't hear what they were talking about. She is dumb! She writes everything!"

They followed so many people, and it was the first time they encountered a situation where they couldn't hear them.

As for Wang Fugui, he also used to write.

Han Yong said: "She chose to go at closing time when there are no customers, which is very suspicious in itself. It seems that this matter has something to do with the Nangong family."

Although the Nangong family and the Han family belong to the prince's camp, the family has never been harmonious, and everyone wants to be the crown prince's number one hero.

The Han family has an advantage in blood, while the Nangong family has an advantage in military power. It is not a day or two for the two sides to fight openly and secretly.

Han Yongdao: "They not only humiliated you, son, but also set their minds on the king of Mingjun. If the king of Mingjun is really confused by the woman who went to the country, they will have a chance to surpass the Han family."

Han Shizi frowned and said, "What Second Uncle said makes sense, but I always feel that something is wrong."

Han Yong said: "Don't think too much, you believe that Second Uncle, apart from Nangong's family, there will be no one else!"

...

When Xiao Heng came out of the pawnshop, it began to rain lightly.

The coachman handed him an umbrella, Xiao Heng didn't get into the carriage immediately, but went to a shop diagonally opposite to buy candied haws.

He walked in the quiet rain with an oil-paper umbrella, and pedestrians hurried past him from time to time.

His veil was gently blown by the night wind, revealing a face that was astonishing as heaven.

In a tea house on the side of the street, there were two people sitting near the window, a boy in white with a folding fan, and a guard in gray with a sword.

If Gu Jiao was here, she would definitely recognize them as the ones who bought the small clear gold abacus back then.

Xiao Jingkong sold his most beloved Xiaojin, so he had the money to buy Gu Jiao a wedding dress.

The gray-clothed guard said in surprise: "My lord, isn't he the No. 1 scholar in Zhao Kingdom? Look at his face!"

Young Master Mingyue shook the folding fan in his hand, and said with a half-smile: "So what if you are, so what if you are not?"

The gray-clothed guard thought for a while and said, "He just let those two people follow him on purpose, what does he want to do?"

Young Master Mingyue smiled and said, "What he wants to do has nothing to do with us, we just need to keep an eye on the little monk beside him."

The gray-clothed guard wondered: "By the way, we have been watching for more than half a year, and we haven't seen that person appear. Does he not want his apprentice anymore?"

"Don't want your own apprentice?" Young Master Mingyue looked at Xiao Heng who was holding an umbrella in the rain, and said with a sneer, "Then who do you think gave them the admission documents?"

The gray-clothed guard scratched his head: "Who? Ah, what does the young master mean...is it given by that person?"

Young Master Mingyue smiled and said: "I'm really curious now, what exactly is he trying to do by bringing this group of people to Yan Kingdom?"

...

After several hot days, it finally rained.

The King of Ming County returned to the mansion in the rain, and went to pay his respects to his father as usual.

Although it is getting late now, but he came from the Han family, as long as he said that he has been with his elder cousin, father and king will not blame him.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the prince's study, he was stopped by guarding guards.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is discussing important matters with others, please come back tomorrow."

"Then remember to tell your father, I've come to greet him."

"The subordinates will."

King Mingjun didn't dare to eavesdrop on his father's corner from now on, and left with an umbrella.

In the study room, the prince sat on the official hat chair behind the desk.

In front of him was a very high-level Jin Yiwei.

Jin Yiwei had just reported the news that he came back from the investigation.

The crown prince shook his hand on the armrest suddenly, and said in a deep voice, "What did you say? The crown prince is coming back?"

Jin Yiwei said: "Yes, the emperor's edict has been sent to the imperial mausoleum."

The prince thought deeply: "Is it finally decided to execute her or to pardon her?"

Jin Yiwei said: "My subordinates don't know, this matter was not mentioned in the oral order."

The prince let go of his fist and stroked the armrest of the chair: "You can't let the princess come back."

Jin Yiwei looked at the prince hesitantly: "Your Highness means..."

The prince said coldly: "Kill the princess!"

...

Xiao Heng bought the last bunch of candied haws in the shop.

Not bad luck.

It seems that since taking on the identity of Gu Jiao, his bad luck has been much less.

You can pick up money while walking on the road, and you can avoid bad things when you encounter them.

but why……

His mood suddenly became weird?

Holding an umbrella, Xiao Heng looked up at the sky full of rain.

Is it because of the rain?

He felt a little melancholy suddenly.
