"You go back first. I will think about the things here carefully. If anything happens, I will inform you of the situation early." No matter what King Cheng does here now, Huang Hao will stay here. , it’s still not safe at all. With a guy like him who looks like a gunner, he might just set King Cheng on fire at some point, but it’s still not safe.
"Then our current problem is already very clear. We need evidence to prove that Shen Zhongbai has not really lost the support of the people, but wants to use some means to lure us into the bait, right?"
Shen Qianshan looked at King Cheng in front of him. Huang Hao had always believed in him, but King Cheng was different. From the beginning, every decision King Cheng made was his own idea, including concealing such Many, including sending Jiang Yu out to confuse their thinking.
King Cheng's thoughts have never been clear to them, and Shen Qianshan has always been afraid of this. If he leaves, will King Cheng send troops immediately
Lou Ziqi didn't make any movement, which was a good thing for him. After all, if Lou Ziqi wanted to take advantage of this moment to take action, he might not be able to stop them both at the same time.
Shen Qianshan had carefully estimated the strength of Shen Zhongbai's men. The original strength of Huang Hao's men was no longer something that King Cheng could bear alone. Although there were still some soldiers and horses, They were stationed at the border, but Shen Zhongbai's troops were still considerable.
Although there have been rumors about Shen Zhongbai in the capital recently, there has been no action during this period. The people are simple. Although when there are rumors, everyone will follow them for a while, but in the case of things After it passes, it will not have any impact on the palace. If there is only thunder but no rain, it will spread among the market quickly and disappear quickly. Therefore, the things that King Cheng said about losing the support of the people are actually untrue. .
But Shen Qianshan came to Northern Xinjiang alone after all. After Huang Hao left, he was even more alone, but he still wanted to persuade King Cheng not to send troops. It’s just that over the years, King Cheng has been the only one like Jiang Yu. How could a caring and good friend watch his friend die in vain
King Cheng did not listen to Shen Qianshan's words, but instead locked him up.
King Cheng knew that what Shen Qianshan said made sense, and he had to admit that many of what Shen Qianshan said were things he had considered before, but now, he couldn't calm down.
The people of Northern Xinjiang helped King Cheng rebuild the Prince Cheng's Mansion, which was still in its original place. However, many of his former subordinates were buried in that place. On top of their bones, King Cheng could hardly sleep at night. Even if this time was a trap, he had to try it.
"How many days has Feng Yao been away?" Shen Zhongbai seemed to have nothing to do recently. He immediately announced Shen Yuehua's death. Chu Junyou secretly stared at Xiaoyao Tower, and soon discovered that Gu Huaian had taken Shen Yuehua away. After Hua was transferred out, Shen Yuehua was also sent away by Gu Huaian. As for where he was sent, no one knew, but Shen Yuehua was completely free.
Chu Junyou thought for a while, "It's been about seven or eight days. I see that there has been no movement in the Lingyin Pavilion, and they probably haven't come back, but the people in the Lingyin Pavilion are all disguised. It’s too easy to change your appearance.”
"How long does it take to get to Leping from this place?"
"In three days, I can call you back and forth."
"How about going to Northern Xinjiang?"
"Almost three days, what are you doing for this?"
Shen Zhongbai also frowned when he heard Chu Junyou's reply. If the time was like this, Feng Yao couldn't have gone to Leping or Northern Xinjiang, so what on earth did he go to
"Is there no movement from anyone else in Lingyin Pavilion?"
"No, besides, everyone in Lingyin Pavilion belongs to you. I spend most of my time in Yuhua Building. Except for Gu Qiang who occasionally goes to Yuhua Building, everyone else usually It won’t pass. I think it’s because this Yuhua Building was originally the property of the Ninth Prince, so the Ninth Princess is so nostalgic, right?”
When Chu Junyou went to Yuhua Building, he could always see Gu Qiang. There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two of them. Gu Qiang would not be so far away from him that he had already replaced the informant who loved to stay near Yuhua Building. , but Gu Qiang didn't say anything. Every time she saw herself, she just nodded.
"Then what have you seen recently? What does Gu Qiang always do there?"
"It's nothing. She doesn't drink and can't find girls. She looks like she is just an ordinary shopkeeper. Things have been quiet in Yuhua Building recently, but I did find out that Yuhua Building was in trouble last time. After I saw the girl who entered the palace, it seemed that there was a female official in charge, and it felt a bit like there was no silver in this place."
Chu Junyou is still very interested in this matter. He has been hanging around in Yuhua Building recently, and he can almost see the operation in Yuhua Building. Most of the girls accompanying the guests here are The courtesan who was recruited from Pang's place didn't seem to have any brains. On weekdays, he could only see the female steward at most. He could barely see Gu Qiang, the little shopkeeper, after saying a few words. Just like that day It's the same as the girl who was tricked by him.
However, Chu Junyou could tell that some people in Yuhua Tower were not simple people. They seemed to be among the oiran girls, always sitting silently while drinking. Their drinking capacity was quite good, but they were very Don't talk much. Judging from their light steps, these girls should all be practicing practitioners, which is interesting.
It seems that this Yuhua Building was originally a place where Shen Qianshan cultivated his craftsmanship, but the operation was still not as good as Tianji Pavilion. At most, he could take out some of the things that happened in the court from the mouths of those drunken dignitaries. Just trivial things.
Chu Junyou knew that Shen Qianshan was able to contend with Shen Zhongbai in the court for such a long time, and was able to take away the woman he was going to marry. It should be all from these details, little by little. It is not easy to reason out.
"You mean, which girl you saw in the palace that day was from Yuhualou?" Shen Zhongbai actually didn't care about this. After all, Gu Huaian teamed up with someone and rescued her under his nose. Shen Yuehua must have been better at it before this, which is not worthy of surprise.
Originally, he might have been a little wary, but now it was different. He would naturally think that the girl they photographed that day was just to investigate the situation inside the palace.
"Yes, but after that, I never saw that girl again. I wonder where Gu Qiang hid her."
Chu Junyou was still very interested in the girl's identity, but this person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, which made him feel a little strange. If he had time, he was really interested in going to Lingyin Pavilion to take a look.
Chu Junyou was a man of action. He was ready to do what he said. He simply packed up and was ready to go out. It happened to be time for dinner. He went to Lingyin Pavilion at this time. The people in Lingyin Pavilion would not Will drive myself out.
Gu Huai'an happened to be taking advantage of the evening to go back to Jiuwang Mansion to change Qi Bai's dressing, so at this time, there were only two people in Lingyin Pavilion, Gu Qiang and Gu Suliang. When Chu Junyou came in, Gu Qiang was already there Sensing something was wrong, Chu Junyou was not a three-year-old child, so he would not want to come to them for a fight. However, the people who opened the door for business were guests. It happened to be a dinner party, so it was difficult to persuade them. When it is full, people will be driven away.
"Why are Mr. Chu here free today? This place is different from Yuhua Tower. You have to pay for drinking here."
Gu Qiang didn't want to see Chu Junyou at first, and now he had to watch her eating and drinking for free on his own territory. Naturally, he couldn't forget the drinks he invited him to drink at Yuhualou.
"The second young master's brother is the richest man in the capital. How can he feel sorry for two jars of wine? Don't worry, all the wine I drank in Yuhua Tower will be charged to my account today. I will pay you all at once next time. .”
"Thank you Mr. Chu for taking care of the business."
When Gu Qiang saw Chu Junyou there and said hello to him, he quickly turned around and pulled A Li after he had changed his appearance. A Li was working outside as a steward in the lobby during the day and it was inconvenient to rest with the people behind him at night. He has been resting in the secret room below.
After all, Chu Junyou had met A Li before. Even if he had changed his appearance now, it was better to be cautious and not let him see any tricks.
But he didn't expect that Chu Junyou would be much more difficult to deal with than he thought.
A Li had met Chu Junyou, and with Gu Qiang's hint, he naturally wouldn't approach him. However, Chu Junyou still noticed something was wrong with A Li and waved her hand to tell her to come over. A Li shrank back. , walked towards the counter and motioned to another waiter in the lobby to come over.
Chu Junyou was obviously unwilling, but he still took a second look at this strange guy.
During the evening banquet, the business in Lingyin Pavilion was always good. Chu Junyou also noticed that someone was staring at him again, so he took advantage of the crowd to avoid everyone's sight. After all, he used to stay in Tianji Pavilion. As a person who has experienced it, Chu Junyou has seen all the mechanisms in Tianji Pavilion. Judging from the structure of Lingyin Pavilion, he can tell at a glance that most of them are the masterpieces of Tianji Pavilion.
