Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Compared to the turmoil of the Wei family, life in Prince Jin's Mansion was as peaceful as ever.

Situ Jin stood tall by the window in the study. A white dove flew over from the sky. He stretched out his hand, and the white dove fluttered its wings and landed in the palm of his hand. He reached out and took off the small bamboo tube at the dove's feet. , took off the note inside and read it, then reached out and let it fly.

It turned around in the air, flapped its wings and flew towards the blue sky.

"Is there any news from Brother?" Su Ying's voice, as clear as a mountain spring, came from the door. The sunlight shone on her through the window lattice, casting a mixture of light and dark shadows.

Situ Jin turned around and hurriedly greeted her. He twisted the piece of paper with his knuckled fingers and handed it to her: "I have just arrived and have successfully entered Yancheng. I have gained the trust of Wei Bang, the second master of the Wei family, and have entered the Wei family." military."

Su Ying took the note, looked at it carefully, and threw the note into the brazier. The flames suddenly rose, and the note was instantly reduced to ashes: "I received news from Hui Niang yesterday about Hui Niang's layout in the capital. There have been initial results, and all the Wei family's stores in the capital have been affected. A few days ago, the Wei family smuggled military supplies for the Kyoto Guard Camp out of the city through the Wei family business. Looking at the direction, it should be heading to Yancheng."

Situ Jin picked up the tea cup that exuded a faint fragrance, took a sip of tea, and then said: "There is news from Wang Hu that there was a lot of commotion in the Kyoto Guard Camp last night because of the military pay issue. Although he was beaten by the cane, He was punished with fifty sticks, but he won the hearts of the soldiers below. He finally gained a firm foothold in the guard camp. The guard camp also sent people to check Wang Hu's details. Wang Hu said that there are always people hanging around in front of his house recently, following him. Neighbors asked about his origins.”

Su Ying smiled lightly: "No matter how hard the Weiying checks, they will not be able to find out what happened twenty years ago. Wang Hu is not from the capital. His hometown is in Pingcheng. At that time, he was still in his mother's belly. Before he was born, his father was a waiter in the Wei family business. At that time, the Wei family business was still in charge of Wei Ying's father. He just accidentally broke a jade article, and the elder of the Wei family indiscriminately wounded him. Wang Hu’s father.”

"My third uncle happened to be passing by Pingcheng at that time. When he saw this with his own eyes, he sent Wang Hu's dying father back home. Not long after, Wang Hu's father passed away. The third uncle knew that the only one left in his family was the pregnant woman. His wife was afraid that she would be retaliated by the Wei family again, so she took her back to the capital. Over the years, she had been helping Wang Hu and her son, until Wang Hu passed the imperial examination. Perhaps it was God's will, and Wei Ying's father harmed him. Wang Hu's father died, and now Wang Hu has entered the Kyoto Guard Camp and became the deputy commander, and some things are much more convenient than us."

Situ Jin gently placed the tea cup in his hand on the table: "Wang Hu is a general. If it weren't for the power of the Wei family, how could he be a small imperial guard with his ability? The family only knows that it was his father-in-law who recommended Wang Hu, but they don’t know the relationship between Wang Hu and the Su family.”

Su Ying touched the green jade bracelet on her wrist with her fingers and smiled slightly: "Now that Wei Heng is dead, Wei Sheng is still immersed in the sadness of his dead son. Wei Ying has never set foot in the Wei family's business in these years, so then Approving military pay and cotton-padded clothes is now the most troublesome thing in the guard camp, and the mess of the Wei family is now all in his hands, and he can't even sort it out, so he can't think about guarding the camp."

Situ Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If his guard camp can't handle the matter, he will naturally ask others for help. It's time for that person to come on board."

While the two were talking, the shadow came in and reported: "Princess, someone from the Su Mansion has come to report that Mr. Wei San has returned to Beijing. Please come to the Su Mansion with the prince to talk."

Su Ying's face was filled with joy: "I was just talking about Third Uncle, but I didn't expect him to come back so soon. Prepare the carriage to go to Su Mansion."

As soon as Su Ying entered the Su Mansion, Su Quan and Su Wen greeted her. Su Ying smiled happily and turned towards them and said, "Father, third uncle!"

Su Wen hurriedly bowed and returned the greeting: "See King Jin, Princess Jin."

Situ Jin stepped forward and gave Su Wen a virtual support: "Third uncle!"

Su Wen's expression was slightly startled, and he looked at Su Quan in confusion. Su Quan smiled and said, "Your Majesty always calls us after Ying'er in the Su Mansion. Third brother will get used to it in the future."

Su Wen then smiled, and Su Quan took several people to the study.

After a few people sat down, Su Ying asked: "Third uncle, how are you preparing for Pingcheng?"

Su Wen said loudly: "I asked Su Cheng to buy all the cotton from nearby towns. Now there is no cotton to buy in other places around the capital except Pingcheng. According to your wishes, I asked someone to process the cotton into cotton-padded clothes. Now I just have to wait. With the news from your side, Cheng'er will know what to do?"

Su Quan said worriedly: "If he buys from other places instead of Pingcheng, wouldn't our plan fail?"

Su Ying smiled and said: "Don't worry, father. Wang Hu has put so much pressure on the Wei camp. Where can he buy so many ready-made cotton clothes? If he doesn't distribute the cotton clothes and military pay to the soldiers as soon as possible, once If the emperor finds out about the trouble, the Wei family cannot afford it, and he will definitely try his best to make up for the shortfall. No matter how expensive the price is, he will buy it."

Su Wen thought for a moment and said, "Then how should the price be determined?"

Situ Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled: "As long as the Wei family sends people to Pingcheng to discuss the business, then the original price will be increased by 30%. Remember not to say that you have a large amount of goods in hand, and it will take some time to prevent others from seeing the flaws. "

Su Wen nodded, thought for a moment, and said hesitantly: "The eldest man of the Wei family is a ruthless person, and Wei Ying is his son. I heard that he has a violent personality and is not easy to deal with. Now I have returned to the capital. , only Cheng'er is alone in Pingcheng. He is younger after all, and he has no helpers around him. If the guard camp robs him by force, I'm afraid Cheng'er won't be able to handle it."

Su Quan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, third brother, I have sent several secret guards in the mansion and they are already on their way to Pingcheng. They will protect Cheng'er secretly."

Situ Jin said with deep eyes: "The Wei family has always been unscrupulous in doing business. I'm afraid there are a few secret guards. But when I return to the palace, I will definitely send more people to Pingcheng to protect my second brother. My father-in-law and third uncle can do whatever they want." rest assured."

Su Wen then breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "Then it's up to you, Prince Lao."

Su Ying said calmly: "The bait has been put out, now we are waiting for the fish to take the bait. Third uncle and second brother have worked hard these days. If you hadn't been running around, I wouldn't have known where to start with such a big game. .”

Su Wen smiled modestly: "You're welcome, Ying'er. I still rely on your third aunt's family for this matter. If it weren't for their help, Cheng'er and I wouldn't have gotten started so quickly. We are a family to begin with. Now that I'm back in the capital, I will help take care of things in the capital, so big brother can relax a little."

Su Quan said gratefully: "If it weren't for the help of my third younger brother and sister to take care of the affairs of this mansion, I really wouldn't be able to take care of it by myself."
