The abandoned concubine can't hide herself

Chapter 31: eavesdrop

Views:

The officers and soldiers who transported the tea knew that this was not real official tea, so they hid some privately and sold it for money. Everyone hid some, which was a considerable amount. Compared with the little tea that merchants cautiously brought over every year, Naturally enough to lower the price of tea.

No matter what the purpose of the person behind it is, just to make the tea transportation department work for him and gather a large amount of private tea under the hood is not something that a simple person can do. The power behind it must be beyond imagination.

With such power, the first thing Chu Jihan thought of was the emperor. He could make the entire Tea Transport Department use him. Who else could he have besides the emperor

But he quickly ruled out this possibility. If the emperor wanted to do something, it would be better if he just gave the order. Why bother to hide and why bother to send himself here to investigate.

So who is behind such a big deal

It is naturally impossible to know what kind of conspiracy is behind this by guessing, but it is possible to send people to investigate. This matter is simple and simple. At least the people involved are on the surface. Anyone who handles official tea will know it to some extent. What.

"Thirteen," as soon as Chu Jihan finished speaking, a man in black appeared quietly in the study, kneeling quietly in front of the desk.

Chu Jihan ordered without raising his head, "Keep an eye on the officials of the Tea Transportation Department. Write down where they went, who they came in contact with, and what they said."

"Yes." The shadow guard responded angrily. Seeing Chu Jihan wave his hand, he disappeared quietly again.

After that, Chu Jihan called Lian Sheng over again, "Is Shen Qing still in the Chamber of Commerce?"

Lian Sheng hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully, "I don't even know, this is not the Lu Mansion, and we don't have enough manpower to keep everyone under surveillance."

Chu Jihan frowned. He was careless. He thought that this time he came to Xingyuan Mansion because the emperor wanted to clean up the former emperor's old staff and deliberately kept him away. He was afraid that he would get in trouble because of his old feelings, so he didn't bring many people. He didn't want to It's so involved.

At this time, Su Ningxin actually went to the teahouse yesterday again. Uncle Qin was a lot older, and he didn't know what was interesting about it. Thinking of yesterday's story being broken down by the storyteller next time, Su Ningxin Came here again.

While Su Ningxin was eating preserved fruit, she listened to Mr. Shuang's eloquent narration. She couldn't help turning her head and said to Shuangbai, "Shuangbai, I also want to be praised like this by others. Otherwise, what if we, master and servant, also go walking in the world?" Sample?"

Shuangbai thought carefully, "What should we do with the Su family?"

Su Ningxin glared at Shuangbai helplessly, "You really want to go, I'm just saying it. What if we really go to travel around the world and own our belongings? That's our pension money."

Before Su Ningxin could finish speaking, Shuangbai pulled Su Ningxin's clothes under the table and winked at her desperately.

Su Ningxin looked in the direction pointed by Shuangbai, and unexpectedly saw her cheap dad, yes, it was Mr. Su San.

He was accompanied by several people dressed as officials. They seemed to be chatting and laughing. It was probably official socializing.

"Shouldn't they go to a brothel in their situation? What are they doing here in a teahouse?" Su Ning asked sincerely.

Shuangbai was a little anxious, but he was afraid of attracting attention, so he could only approach Su Ningxin and whisper, "No, those people are all from the Tea Transport Department."

The reason why Shuangbai knew those people was because this morning when Su Ningxin was discussing with Chu Jihan at the Chamber of Commerce, she went to the Tea Transportation Department. Not only did she go to the warehouse where Guan Tea was stored, but she also went to several tea transportation departments. Went around the official's house.

As for why Shuangbai was asked to take a look, this is probably Su Ningxin's occupational disease. Although she is no longer a secret guard or a palace concubine, she always wants to know the inside story when others secretly do things in front of her. Otherwise, there is no way. sense of security.

When Su Ningxin, the three people from the Tea Transportation Department, heard that they were immediately alert, it was now certain that the Tea Transportation Department had problems, and whoever was involved would be unlucky.

Why is my cheap dad staying with them? Su Ning's heart suddenly became anxious. She didn't care much about Mr. Su San, but she finally found a suitable identity. She was so unlucky to be so exposed.

"Let's go and take a look." Su Ningxin made a decision instantly.

As she said this, Su Ningxin made no move, but leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair.

What she just said was just to tell Shuangbai her plan, not to take action immediately. She leaned back, and her sight was just enough to see the private room on the second floor from the stairs. She confirmed which private room Mr. Su San and the others had entered. Ning Xin stood up.

Shuangbai asked the waiter to pay the bill. This time she didn't dare to ask for the best tea. It's not every day that she is so lucky to meet someone who is taken advantage of.

Walking out of the teahouse with Shuangbai, they walked around the street in a natural manner, and then the two of them found a small alley to enter, which happened to be opposite the teahouse's backyard.

The two of them looked around and saw that no one was around. They used Qing Kung Fu to fly over the wall. They used the strength of the wall to fly up to the roof of the tea house. Then they naturally quietly opened a tile to see what was going on inside.

Of course it's impossible. There's still a layer of soil behind the tiles, so you can't see inside at all.

Even if you can see inside, it's broad daylight. As soon as you lift the tiles, a beam of light will appear in the house. The people inside must be stupid to not know that there is someone on the roof.

So Su Ningxin and Shuangbai arrived at the backyard of the tea house and found the window of Mr. Su San's private room. There happened to be a tree next to the window, so they hid in the tree. If there was no tree, they would have to hang upside down on the eaves. .

The windows in ancient times were not very soundproof, and as secret guards, their ears were more sensitive than ordinary people, so they could hear the voices inside.

Just as Su Ningxin guessed, the people inside first exchanged pleasantries, then complimented each other, and then talked about other things. It took a long time before they could get down to business.

So even though Su Ningxin and Shuangbai walked around the street for a long time, they only finished complimenting each other.

Su Ningxin leaned against a branch boredly and listened to them brag about their past experiences and the anecdotes they had heard, which was quite interesting.

Glancing at the wall from the corner of her eye, Su Ningxin's eyes widened instantly. Aren't the dark figures climbing over the wall Ji Chu and Lian Sheng

Realizing the possible purpose of the other party, Su Ningxin hurriedly prayed silently in her heart not to come to the tree!

However, God did not hear Su Ningxin's prayer. The two of them jumped over the wall and rushed towards this tree. This was the best tree in the entire backyard to hide in.

When Chu Jihan walked ten steps away from the tree, he noticed that there seemed to be a breath in the tree, and he instantly held the dagger in his hand.

Seeing the flash of cold light in Chu Jihan's hand, Su Ningxin knew that they had been exposed. She had tested Chu Jihan's skills, which were similar to her own, so she would not be able to detect her, but the frosty white aura would definitely not fool him.
