"Xiaojiu, you don't need to do anything." Fu Yanci said. "Just let the three of them fight in a nest."

Feng Jiuyan looked at Fu Yanci doubtfully, "Fighting in the nest? Are you saying that we don't need to do anything but just watch the show?"

"Yes and no." Fu Yanci chuckled softly, with a biting coldness in his eyes.

Then, he said slowly, "Both the Crown Prince and King Qi are not easy-going people. In order to compete for the throne, the two of them have been fighting fiercely behind the scenes, especially King Qi.

King Qi even sent the eunuch beside him to pretend to be Mr. Mo and asked him to open many Goulan courtyards in shady places.

These Goulan courtyards were filled with trafficked girls, young children, and young men. The King of Qi used these young girls to attract dignitaries, and local wealthy gentry came to visit them. And these people who patronize are all screened, and every time they come, they have to sign and sign. You ask, why do King Qi and the others do this? "

"I've seen the account book, which records every income. King Qi and the others have made a lot of money in these Goulan Courtyards." Feng Jiuyan frowned and thought, and said slowly.

Then, she remembered the mansions of the people in charge of running the Goulan Courtyard that she had copied, and she remembered that there was a lot of pig iron in the secret room.

pig iron?

weapon!

She suddenly opened her eyes wide, looked at Fu Yanci, and said with a shocked look, "The King of Qi is recruiting troops and raising private soldiers to collect money. He is preparing for the forced palace!"

"Yes, my Xiaojiu is really smart." Fu Yanci looked at Feng Jiuyan with admiration, "Then why are these dignitaries and local wealthy gentry who patronize Goulan Courtyard willing to sign and sign?

They must be familiar with the laws of the dynasty and know that anyone who abducts children or women will be punished. Those who rape and kill children or women should have all their property confiscated and be punished by being torn apart or tortured. They were not fools for such a heavy punishment, so why would they sign it? "

When Fu Yanci said this, he paused. He stood up, walked slowly back to the bed, took out a few books from his bag, and walked back to the dining table.

These were the accounts and rosters found from Goulan Yuan, Heifeng Village, Huawu Village and other places, and they were transcripts given to him by Feng Jiuyan.

Fu Yanci opened one of the books at random, pointed at the content of one page with his slender fingers, and said slowly, "Xiaojiu, look, the handwriting of the signatures and inscriptions of these dignitaries looks a little crooked, and some are even ugly. . So I speculate that they must have been under some kind of coercion, so they reluctantly signed and left their own evidence."

Feng Jiuyan looked around and saw that the signatures on the white paper were all crooked. It seemed that they were not signing voluntarily. "That's true, but what is the purpose of King Qi doing this? Is it to threaten these dignitaries and local wealthy gentry?"

Her mind was spinning rapidly, and she figured it out in an instant, "Many of these officials are important officials in the court and occupy a pivotal position in the court. King Qi forced them to sign. Could it be that he wanted to force the queen to let these court officials Do dignitaries support his rise to power?

As for the local rich gentry, they are not ordinary rich gentry. The property accumulated by their ancestors is very rich. Is it possible that these rich gentry were regarded by the King of Qi as his treasury, used to recruit soldiers and horses and forge weapons? "

Fu Yanci looked at Feng Jiuyan with appreciation, "Xiao Jiu's guess is correct. The King of Qi must have had this in mind to get these important officials in the court to sign and seal the document."

"Then what should we do next?" Feng Jiuyan stared at Fu Yanci closely with expectation.

The corners of Fu Yanci's lips raised slightly, and his smile was filled with endless meaning and mystery. "We only need to release the news, saying that we have found the mastermind behind the abduction and trafficking of girls and young children, and the operation of Goulan Yard. The evidence is being sent to Beijing." ”

"In this case, King Qi will definitely think that Eunuch Cao confessed when Eunuch Cao has not returned to the palace. In this case, King Qi will definitely mess up his position and accelerate his plan to force the palace!" Feng Jiuyan continued, The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.

"Xiaojiu, you are really smart!" Fu Yanci blurted out the words of praise, his eyes full of admiration.

"Hehehe, then we have found out what we should check. Can we change the makeup?" Feng Jiuyan looked at Fu Yanci expectantly.

Fu Yanci raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Does Xiaojiu think she is too ugly?"

"No! Whether it's ugly or not is another matter. What's important is that we are now a living target. If we don't quickly take off our disguises and change our identities, maybe the prince's people will send someone to assassinate us again."

"Xiaojiu is thinking that we will leave the inn soon, change back to our original appearance, and then set off back to Youzhou." Fu Yanci said.

He knew very well that she must want to return to Youzhou to reunite with her family.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Feng Jiuyan immediately jumped for joy, clapped her hands and cheered, "Great, hehehe. I'll go back and pack my luggage right now!"

After saying that, Feng Jiuyan immediately stood up from the chair and rushed to the door impatiently.

"Hey, Xiaojiu, wait a moment." Fu Yanci quickly called her back.

Feng Jiuyan paused, stopped, turned around, and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Is there anything else you haven't said?"

"Bring me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I'll reply first."

"Oh, okay. Just wait a moment."

As soon as Feng Jiuyan finished speaking, he had already left the room. She returned to her room, pretended to rummage through her baggage, took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the space, and returned to Fu Yanci's room.

"Xiaojiu, come here and help me sharpen the ink."

"Okay, here we go."

Feng Jiuyan stood next to Fu Yanci, holding a black ink stick in her slender white fingers and rubbing it slowly. Fu Yanci was sitting next to her, writing on a white paper.

His calligraphy is very beautiful, his handwriting is vigorous and powerful, his writing is smooth and graceful, and his style is completely natural, which makes Feng Jiuyan admire him endlessly.

Fu Yanci wrote three letters in total, one of which told An Yi and An Er to continue sending people to keep an eye on the palace, especially the King of Qi, the prince and the emperor.

The other letter was sent back to An Si, asking them to imprison Eunuch Cao first and make a decision after he returns to Youzhou.

Another letter was written to Bai Li, asking him to find someone to release unfavorable news about what King Qi had done, so that he would be thrown into chaos and accelerate his plan to force the palace, so that the royal family would kill each other.

Fu Yanci tied one of the letters to the pigeon's leg and asked the pigeon to carry the message back to Youzhou. The other two letters were given to An San and ordered him to find someone to send them out.

Feng Jiuyan stood in front of the window, looking at the bustling street, and asked Fu Yanci beside him, "If the Dog Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the King of Qi all die, there will be no one from the Dog Emperor's lineage who can ascend the throne. At that time, Dayan Will there be unrest, and will the surrounding countries be ready to attack? "

Fu Yanci had a smile on his lips and said confidently, "Naturally there will be no disturbance, have you forgotten? And where is my uncle Xiaoyao——"
