The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad
Chapter 428 Conspiracy under the Tree
Tang Shiyan stood in the corridor, watching all this with a calm expression.
Prince Yi's plan failed. Except for a few who were captured, all the men in black were killed in Tang's mansion.
"Go back and tell the prince that we believe him."
The palace's secret guards escorted the man in black away from the Tang family.
The servants of the Tang family came out of the room and cleaned the yard.
The night attack injured many guards of the Tang family. Tang Boan arranged for the palace doctor to treat them, strengthened the guards in the palace, and ordered the rest to go back to their rooms to rest.
After more than an hour, a fierce battle finally ended.
In the palace study, cups and plates were scattered on the floor, papers and pens were scattered all over the floor, and a large patch of black ink was suddenly visible on the brocade carpet.
Jiang Hongxin and Liu Xin knelt on the ground, not daring to move.
"Check who leaked the news."
"Yes." After receiving the order, the two of them quickly left the study.
Liu He covered his chest with his hands, his stomach churning. He had been planning tonight's action for two days, and he hadn't eaten or drunk anything in those two days. His old illness relapsed and he was in pain. He broke out in a cold sweat and his feet went weak. He quickly held onto the desk.
He let out a long sigh, and when the pain subsided, he wanted to drink some water but found that the cup had already been smashed by him.
Liu He put on a gray-brown fox fur coat, opened the door, and walked straight out of the mansion.
Two guards hurriedly followed outside the study door, "Your Highness, it's almost five o'clock. Where are you going?"
"The Tang family." He guessed that the father and son of the Tang family would be like him and would not be able to fall asleep.
Instead of worrying alone in the study, it would be better to go to the Tang family and work with them to find out the spy.
In the study room of Guizhi Courtyard, the fire in the room was burning brightly, making the room warm. The father and his two sons, along with Jiang Muxia, sat on both sides, analyzing whether the failure of tonight's plan was due to a spy from their Tang family or someone among the princes leaking the news.
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came towards the study in the yard.
Tang San knocked on the door, pushed it open, and reported: "Master, young master. The prince is here."
Several people hurriedly stood up to greet him, and just as they were about to salute, Liu He waved his hand. He went into the room, took off his coat, threw it on the chair by the door, and sat directly opposite Tang Shiyan.
"Have you found the spy?" Liu He had just sat down when he felt another tearing pain in his stomach. His face turned pale, and he pressed his right fist against his stomach, holding his breath to suppress the pain.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
Liu He waved his left hand and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "It's an old problem. It will get better slowly."
"Your Highness, do you have a stomachache? Maybe you didn't eat well?" Jiang Muxia guessed when she saw him holding his stomach and looking at his pale face.
After the pain subsided, Liu He glanced at her and smiled slightly, "It's true that I haven't eaten much in the past two days."
She poured him a cup of hot tea, placed it on the table beside him, and said with a smile, "Does Your Majesty have any dietary restrictions? Can I go make a meal for Your Majesty?"
Liu He was stunned for a moment, but his heart was warm. None of his wives and concubines had ever cooked for him. She, a wife of a subordinate official, could tell the cause of his illness after only meeting him for the second time, which made him look up to her.
"Thank you, I have nothing to worry about."
Jiang Muxia said to the people in the room in a gentle voice: "Everyone has worked hard tonight. I will make a bowl of noodle soup for everyone."
"Okay, I'll help you." Tang Zhongbai stood up, and the two of them walked out of the study together.
Tang Si, who was guarding the gate, followed and said, "Second Madam, is there anything for me? Can I have more meat in my bowl?"
"it is good."
After the people walked away, Tang Boan said with a smile: "Second brother really found a wife who is capable of both housework and cooking. She is a perfect match for him."
Liu He continued his words, "I heard that the Second Lady is quite good at martial arts, the Second Young Master is really lucky."
Tang Shiyan said nothing, but nodded secretly.
Several people investigated and found no suspicious people. There was only one thing that Tang Shiyan concluded that the spy could not be from the Tang family. The servants in the family were all old people who had been with the old man for many years, and the young ones were all family children. The old man was not someone who could be fooled. It seemed that he did not ask about the affairs of the family, but if there was any disturbance in the family, he would definitely be the first to know.
"Okay, I have an idea."
It was almost dawn when Liu He came out of Tang's house.
After getting on the carriage, he reached out and touched his stomach, then ate a bowl of hot noodle soup, which was much milder here.
Thinking of how Jiang Muxia had taken everyone's taste into consideration when serving them, she remembered that Tang Shiyan didn't eat chopped green onions, and knowing that Tang Boan liked to eat coriander, she added pepper to his bowl. Knowing that he had stomach problems, his bowl of noodles was light, with less oil and salt.
How could such a thoughtful woman be met by that brat Tang Zhongbai? Why didn't I meet her earlier?
He thought that if he saw her, he would be attracted to her at first sight because of their similar appearance.
What a pity, I missed it twice.
He grinned bitterly, he was destined to have no chance with that person in this life.
Just like what his mother advised him that day in the palace, "If it is destined to happen, it will happen eventually. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it."
He closed his eyes, feeling sad in his heart, thinking that he was the dignified Prince Yi, second only to the emperor and above all others, and his only regret was her. It was a great regret in life to be unable to get the love that one could have.
On the afternoon of the second day, Jiang Muxia was lying in bed catching up on her sleep, and Tang Zhongbai ran over excitedly and woke her up.
"Muxia, good news. The prince interrogated the men in black at night, and one of them confessed an important piece of information. Do you remember the first name on the note? He has a daughter, whose last name is Cui. Guess who it is?"
When Jiang Muxia heard the word "Cui", she sat up with a start.
She opened her eyes wide, quite surprised, "Could it be Tang Yi's concubine?"
"That's right. Although we don't know if she is a remnant of the rebels, one thing is certain. If Cui Shan, who is by Second Grandfather's side, is caught, she will not be able to be saved."
"God is helping me. Have you found the spy?"
Tang Zhongbai put away his smile and shook his head, "However, I got an important piece of information. The leader of these people in Beijing has a list of names. As long as we find this list, we can arrest people according to the list."
"Is the boss Cui Shan?"
"It shouldn't be. This person's whereabouts are secretive and the man in black has never seen him before."
"That can be done."
At this moment when the two were chatting in the room, under the big tree at the side door of the backyard of the second branch of the Tang family, a man and a woman stood opposite each other and conspired in low voices.
"The boss said that Prince Yi and the third house have found clues. With their speed, they will find us soon. I didn't expect that the dead girl left clues before her death. Inform Chunhong and ask her to hold her ground until the last moment. This chess piece will stay where it is." The man's face was dark, his eyes scanned the surroundings from time to time, and he continued, "Today I will put the evidence in the secret room in the second master's room, and the boss will take action at the same time. Tomorrow morning, you will pass the news of the Tang family colluding with the King of Lingnan to Censor Zhou."
"Yes." The woman turned and left, and the man did not move for a long time.
"Tang, let's see how you can escape this time. You harmed our master, and I will let your entire clan be buried with you."
What they didn't know was that a pair of eyes in the dark had already been watching them. They heard their conversation and were already rushing towards the third branch of the Tang family.
