Chapter 684 Three-in-one(1/2)
The concubine's son Gaomen 68
The Fourth Master looked at the jade pendant again and smiled and said, "It's okay, leave this jade pendant to me first, I'll find a way."
Jin Chengan's hand suddenly stopped. Give it to the fourth brother first? Could it be that Chu Yuan gave the two pendants to the fourth brother's wife? His hand was placed on the jade pendant tightly, "It would be futile without the jade pendant." He tentatively said this.
The Fourth Master naturally knew that he was reluctant to let go. Once the jade pendant was handed over, he would have nothing. Therefore, he could not be too anxious and looked at Jin Cheng'an with a teacup: "Although our family is now a royal family, it is now a distant sect. If it weren't for the grandfather's ability, we wouldn't be the Duke's Mansion, so we would have been no longer in the ordinary royal family." Jin Cheng'an's father's special role in the secret guards has enabled the family to inherit the title for several generations, otherwise, he would have become an ordinary royal family. According to the number of males in a month, there would be no other ones. "This jade pendant is in your hands, but now it is useless. In fact, I don't think it's important to keep it in your hands, but Concubine Chen may not be relieved."
Jin Chengan frowned, but he felt that this was true. Concubine Chen would always support the fourth child. The fourth child was just a concubine's son. Concubine Chen was of course afraid of making wedding clothes for others. Thinking of this, he took off the jade pendant, "Who are you, my father and son, different in his hand?"
As he said that, he handed over with the jade pendant. The Fourth Master reached out to pick it up, but Jin Chengan held it in his hand without any intention of letting go. The Fourth Master looked up at Jin Chengan: "Even if my father is not like this, can I still treat my father badly?" Why do you have to hold on like this? It seems unhappy. "Don't worry, the eldest brother is at least a title of king. And father... Since ancient times, the emperor has been a predecessor, and this is a regular rule."
Jin Chengan laughed. The emperor's father was naturally an emperor, even if he had no actual power. He immediately let go. The Fourth Master took the jade pendant and couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth.
If he was the emperor himself, it would be appropriate to enthrone this way. But if he was not the emperor, he would have looked at him well by then. If he was the duty and gave him a title, Tongtong would not care. Isn’t it just a circle of money to raise him in the capital? She would not feel sorry for her. But if he was not responsible and wanted to be more arrogant, with Tongtong’s temperament, he would really dare to give him a benefactor. By then, his face would be bad.
When the fourth master got the things, he didn't stop and stood up and said goodbye. He strides towards his own yard.
The couple pieced together the things one by one, and it was indeed very close.
Lin Yutong gave the jade pendant to the Fourth Master: "I have read the things that Princess Duan gave me. There are letters from her dealings with Bei Liao. In the past two days, the border war report will probably be delivered. As expected, it was on New Year's Eve..."
The Fourth Master nodded: "I'll get up now and go to Liaodong." The Breaking Crossbow Army is stationed in Liaodong, and it is not possible to be dispatched in one or two days. I must go there in person, "but... it's hard to say whether I can arrive at the capital as fast as possible." Liaodong borders Northern Liao, and no one knows whether it will encounter a war.
Lin Yutong shook her head: "I am in the capital. Princess Duan handed over the people arranged by the Dacien Temple to my hands. I have these people, so I can protect the capital without worries."
The Fourth Master knew Lin Yutong's ability to protect herself, so she didn't tell her anything. She needed to stand alone and make her own decisions. However, Lin Yutong armed the Fourth Master in all aspects, from head to toe, without fear of swords and guns. In addition, various medicines and weapons, whether they are cold weapons or hot weapons, were prepared. Ensure that the Fourth Master will be foolproof when he goes out this time.
This time when the Fourth Master went out, Jin Chengan naturally knew. The Fourth Master was also very proactive and asked to take Miao Zhuang with him.
For Jin Chengan, he felt that Miao Zhuang was still a person he could control and was just used as an eyeliner. So the Fourth Master brought Guixi and Guiwu, and Miao Zhuang, and could not wait for a night, so he left the city with black and snow.
After the Fourth Master left, Lin Yutong took Sanxi and sat in a low-key ox cart carrying vegetables all the way out of the city.
When I arrived at the city gate, the ox cart stopped leaving.
"...it's mainly because of fear." The middle-aged man who drove the car shook his head, "If the children at home were not sick and used money, I wouldn't have dared to come out to deliver vegetables. Who wouldn't know that the capital is now very angry. Look, there is only this place on the way, but there will be no one. If I don't go back, my wife and children at home will have to be worried."
Lin Yutong directly touched a ingot of gold, "I bought this ox cart. Is it enough?"
Two taels of gold are twenty taels of silver. This is eleven taels of silver, and this cow and cart is eleven taels, of course it is enough.
The man fell into a golden ingot and kowtowed firmly, "Take care, guy."
Lin Yutong and Sanxi were both wearing men's clothes, and the man didn't recognize him. When the person left, Sanxi was in a dilemma, "Master... I can't catch a car."
"Then you sit firmly." Lin Yutong sat directly on the shaft of the car, raised her whip and drove away.
Sanxi was a little surprised: "When did you learn it?"
Lin Yutong laughed and thought to herself, it was too early. She couldn't remember it even before. But she said, "Have you never eaten pork and haven't seen pigs run?" She didn't believe it was harder to learn than driving.
Sanxi said in his heart: Master, you have eaten pork, but you have never seen pigs run away. Where can the girls in the whole family go to see the pigs?
The master and servant rushed towards Ci'en Town in the wind.
When we arrived in the town, the lively towns in the past now all closed their doors, and even the theater prostitutes and yards were closed. The more New Year's Day comes, the more business is hotter. They are all idle and a little bit of money, and they are happy to spend a few big boys to go inside and listen to a lively scene. But now? Not to mention the bright lights and the crowds are crowded, the whole town is pitch black.
"Master, why do you think..." Sanxi thought so in her heart.
This is the power of rumors.
I originally wanted to find a shop and store the ox cart, but now I'll just let it go. I tie the ox under a shed. This shed used to be a wonton business. A couple carried a load and set up two tables under the shed. The business was excellent all day long. Now the place is empty.
Sanxi had bought vegetarian wontons here before, but now she couldn't help but sigh: "The wife of this family also said that during the Chinese New Year, the business will be the best at night. She also said that she can hurry up this year and get two decent dowries for her daughters. Now, they are all ruined."
Lin Yutong's mouth was pursed hard, and Sanxi was so scared that she didn't dare to speak for a moment.
I thought the mountain road would be difficult to walk after the snow, but I didn’t expect that there was not much snow along the way and it was cleaned up very clean.
When Sanxi saw Lin Yutong surprised, she whispered: "You forgot that the aunt and nephew you punished before."
Lin Yutong then remembered that she felt much better, "I didn't expect that I was really lazy and sloppy."
Sanxi smiled: "At this year, there were many people who burned incense. Many of them came with tributes. However, Dacien Temple only received incense, but not other worships. A farmer's wife came with her own buns and steamed buns and worshipped them on the edge of the mountain road. In the past, they were all cheaper people at the foot of the mountain, beggars, and even the beasts on the mountain benefited. Now, I am afraid that all the aunt and nephew will be cheaper." The incense is all good things, and the fine rice noodles that the family couldn't bear to eat. I took them back and were afraid that the family would live a good life every day.
Lin Yutong suddenly realized that they were guarding the roadside, just like the water tower, and they could not take the other person.
As the two of them were talking, Sanxi felt less afraid. In fact, she had no idea what her master was going to do to sneak up to Dacien Temple in the middle of the night.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the temple, Sanxi was worried about how to call the temple gate, but when he heard a squeak, the gate opened.
When the lantern lights up, Lin Yutong looked up and found that it was the monk Mingkong he saw at the gate of Gan that day.
"Master!" Lin Yutong folded her hands together and bowed slightly.
Mingkong sighed as if there was nothing, "Your Highness is here to visit late at night, so it is better not to disturb others. Therefore, I personally welcome your Highness into the temple."
It seems that as soon as he left the city, he was targeted by Mingkong's people. In other words, Gan's family will soon know that he has left the city.
Lin Yutong looked motionless, nodded and smiled, "I'm just thinking about it."
Mingkong turned sideways, gave up the door, and asked Lin Yutong to invite him inside.
The monastery was warm and Lin Yutong sat on the futon, took a sip of tea before looking at Mingkong: "Master is really a master. Are you the one who is in charge of this Ci'an Temple now?"
This is not a praising person? It clearly implies that he is occupying the magpie's nest and robbing the master.
Mingkong smiled bitterly: "Your Highness! Why do we Mingren say secret words?"
Lin Yutong chuckled lightly, but her tone was cold: "Why is the master, a wise man, doing secret life?"
Mingkong choked and sighed for a while: "Your Highness... did you give you something before Princess Duan died?"
Lin Yutong's eyes suddenly became cold and sharp.
"Where is the thing?" In the palace, Jin Yunshun looked at Jixiang who was crying while kneeling on the ground and crying. He sat up and asked sternly.
Jixiang wiped his tears: "What...what?"
Jin Yunshun jumped out of bed: "What else can I do? It's time, what's the use of crying? The princess is dead, are we not alive anymore? The last time we were able to contact those people at Dacien Temple was because the princess handed it with a seal. Now? What are you using to direct those people?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Jixiang's eyes, "They are originally from Prince Duan's Mansion. The princess is gone, and there are only a few little masters left in the mansion. If they don't serve you, who else can they serve?"
This fool!
Jin Yunshun never knew that Jixiang would be so stupid. Of course, if it weren't for this simple loyalty, the princess probably wouldn't have asked Jixiang to come to him to serve him.
He raised his hand and held his forehead: "Okay. I can't explain it to you. Get up first, I have something to ask you."
Jixiang wiped the tears from his face and stood up quickly, "What are you asking?"
"Have you asked? How did the princess die? Who have you met when you go to the money?" Jin Yunshun's voice was very low and he asked.
Jixiang was stunned for a while before saying, "It sounds like Princess Yunyin was ordered to meet the princess."
Obey orders?
"Is the emperor's health better?" Jin Yunshun asked again, his voice trembling and he was obviously a little afraid.
Jixiang shook his head. Jin Yunshun thought he wanted to say that the emperor's health was not good. He had just breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and heard Jixiang say, "This happened, and there were a few more people in the palace. It was our Eastern Palace and the outer hall that served us. I had never seen it before. Not to mention a place like the Imperial Study Room, I couldn't find out any news."
Jin Yunshun's face turned even whiter: "You said, the people from the East Palace have changed a lot?"
Jixiang nodded: "Yes! I changed it..."
Jin Yunshun's palms were full of sweat. Who knew what these people had. When they were placed under house arrest in the palace, they had to wait for death. He trembled and said, "You go to the palace... and say that Gu beat you and go to the princess to bring incense sticks for Gu."
"This is your highness's filial piety." Jixiang's face showed a little moved.
Jin Yunshun's face turned red, and after a long time, he said, "Although the princess has gone, Gu is also sad. But the younger brothers and sisters in the mansion still have to take care of him. If you go, take a look for Gu..." As he was speaking, when Jixiang was about to speak, his hand pressed down, "Listen to Gu to finish his words. When these errands are finished, you can find a way to avoid someone to go to the study where his father was when he was alive, and search under the desk, there is a secret space there..." He had seen him when he was a child, and thought that his father's habits could not be changed for a while. I hope that the things inside were still there. "No matter what the things inside were, you should hide them carefully and bring them back to Gu. Have you heard it clearly?"
Jixiang nodded: "Yes! Your Highness! I heard it clearly."
Seeing Jixiang leave, Jin Yunshun fell softly on the couch. As soon as he relaxed, footsteps came from outside. The footsteps were not the kind of footsteps that ordinary servants could take lighter, but the sound of walking normally.
"Your Highness." His steps stopped at the door, and a cold voice came.
Jin Yunshun frowned: "What's the matter? Come in and talk."
The curtain was lifted up, and a 17 or 18-year-old eunuch came in. The ritual was perfunctory and said: "Your Highness, the people around you are going to leave the palace and said that you have sealed your oral order. Therefore, the younger ones come to verify it, but this is the case."
He didn't even have the power to beat a eunuch out of the palace.
"It was beaten alone, why? No?" Jin Yunshun looked over with a cold face, with unquestionable majesty in his eyes.
The eunuch bowed and bowed: "How come your highness's orders are not allowed? Please rest." As he said that, he turned around and retreated.
Jin Yunshun looked at the eunuch's perfunctory look and wanted to bite his teeth. At any time, the palace ladies became arrogant and became this virtue. The reason why withdrawal was called "retreat" was that they were not allowed to turn around until they went out. They had to face their master and walk backwards. This was called "retreat". Now, a little eunuch had no more basic etiquette in front of him, the crown prince.
He reached out and held the teacup on the kang table in his hand. He wanted to throw it out hard, but he finally held it back. "Come..." He shouted. It's not a big deal to hold it in the East Palace like this. It's time to go to the Phoenix Palace to take a look.
In the Feng Palace, the queen sat in a daze, her eyes were still a little distracted. She didn't dress up, but just sat with her head loose and leaned against a soft pillow.
"Master..." Madam Zhang held the sun-rest tea: "Drink while it's hot, you can fall asleep after drinking."
"No!" the queen shook her head, "I don't drink anything, I can't sleep, I just dream when I sleep, I'm afraid of dreaming. Dreams... are so scary."
"No." Madam Zhang coaxed: "No. Master, the old slave is here to accompany the master..."
The queen glanced at Anshen Tang again, then stretched out her hand and overturned the soup bowl. "What can't you do? You're scared a lot!" Her eyes were fierce, which was something that Madam Zhang had never seen before.
This really seems to be in a bad mood.
Madam Zhang shivered, her mouth moved, and she didn't dare to say anything, lowered her head and cleaned up the fragments on the ground.
To be continued...
