Funing Hall

After Zhao Shibing left, Yin Mo locked the book back into the original box.In addition to these books, the rest of the box is gold ingots and some cloth.She picked up the fabric and saw that it was also Yangzhou fabric.

These must have been given to Yang Yuan by Yi Yu. Judging from the style of the fabric, it was fashionable in the South a year or two ago, but they are all high-end goods.Yang Yuan was afraid of being discovered by others, and even more afraid of being betrayed by Yi Yu, so he kept these ironclad evidence that could best prove Yi Yu.

Yin Mo couldn't help but sigh with emotion, fortunately, Zhou Dazhang had a bad mind at the beginning, greedy the salt people's money, and then got involved with Yang Yuan, that's why Lang Jun asked someone to search Yang Yuan's house, otherwise how could he find this box?Without this box, they might not know Yi Yu's true face until now.

Just this stuff...

Yin Mo frowned, the one who often delivered things to the mansion seemed to use Yangzhou materials.Sister Rantao said it. Sister Rantao is from Yangzhou and is most familiar with these things.

She felt a little uneasy, and went to pick up a purse for comparison.

After comparing, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It's completely different. Although it's the same Yangzhou material and the same high-grade, the weaving method is obviously different.Yangzhou's materials are so good that they are famous all over the world, and many wealthy families in Beijing love to use them.

Yin Mo felt that he was thinking too much.

In fact, Yin Mo has followed Shan Niangzi and Zhao Shibing for many years, she is a good hand in killing people, and she is a person with a very keen mind.It's just that when dealing with this little lady who might admire their lord, she couldn't help but think of the good.

After all, this unknown little lady sent so many things to the mansion one after another, which shows her affection for their husband.It's not that Yan Mo has never met someone who is interested in their husband, but she often heard Shan Niangzi say that to marry a husband, you don't want the other party's family to be rich and beautiful, as long as the other party is good to him.

When she came, Mrs. Shan urged her to pay attention to this matter.That's why she cared about this matter, she felt that this unknown little lady really cares about their husband.She was still thinking that she would know who it was after a while, and she was going to send a letter to Hangzhou.

The lady is very concerned about Mr. San Lang's marriage.

Back in the palace, Zhao Shiqi told Zhao Cong what Zhao Zongning meant.

Zhao Cong nodded: "If she doesn't object, that's enough to show that she doesn't hate Sun Zhuyun." Zhao Cong actually understands that his sister doesn't know how to like him, and maybe he does have a good impression of Sun Zhuyun, but it's not enough to like him.Zhao Cong was not in a hurry to make arrangements for Zhao Zongning's marriage before, because he didn't want to be the kind of marriage urging parent that everyone would hate in later generations.

It's just that Zhao Zongning grew bigger and bigger, and his temper became more and more irresistible. He didn't feel at ease if he didn't ask someone to watch him.He also hoped that Zhao Zongning could understand the word "like".Since she didn't understand, he found someone to teach her.

"Is Your Majesty still going out of the palace?" Zhao Shiqi asked.

"Concubine Shu said that the four ladies have been in the palace for six years, and the autumn weather is very beautiful. They will set up a table for a feast in a few days. She has been locked up for so many days, let her come to the palace to play, when the time comes Ask her what she means." Although Zhao Cong said this, he had already made up his mind to give Sun Zhuyun to Zhao Zongning as his son-in-law.

Zhao Shiqi had something on his mind, after hearing this, he nodded, and obediently went back to Funing Hall.

Zhao Cong wanted to let go of his sister, and then thought of what the old censor said.The old censor can think that way, and so can the rest.The best way now is to marry Zhao Shiqi a wife, and then let him live out of the palace.

only--

Zhao Cong held the pen tightly, determined not to succeed.

Even if Zhao Shiqi was randomly guessed by these people, he would never allow Zhao Shiqi to get married, and he was even more reluctant to let Zhao Shiqi go out of the palace to live.

He felt a little selfish, but he didn't mind.

Next time if someone dares to gossip again, he doesn't mind trying to make an example of others.

And this time it came back quickly.

It's just that this time it's not about Zhao Shiqi and the concubines in the palace, but about Zhao Shiqi and a young lady who is said to be very beautiful.

Many people under Zhao Cong did some secret things for him.

Shao Yi was the leader of those people, and as soon as there was news about Zhao Shiqi outside, Shao Yi immediately went to the palace to report to Zhao Cong.

"It is said that Mr. Lang almost bumped into a beautiful lady at Zhuquemen a few days ago, and afterwards he ordered Jili to give gifts to the door. I went to check the house, but it was strange, and no one lived there. According to the house deed , the owner of this house is a young woman."

"What's your name?"

"Yi Yu."

"Yi Yu?!" Zhao Cong was surprised.

"Your Majesty, one is not the other, but there is not much difference."

"How to say it."

"Your Majesty, this woman is the younger sister of Yi Yu's mother. Their names have the same pronunciation but different characters."

Zhao Cong was idly listening to Shao Yi's words, and he was still holding a book in his hand. Hearing what Shao Yi said, he also put down his book, looked up at Shao Yi, and said softly: "Why is there this Yi everywhere?" fish."

Shao Yi cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, I didn't think of it either. When I first heard the rumors, I was just afraid that someone with a heart would have bad thoughts about Lord Eleven, so I just sent someone to ask, but I found out that the house was actually Sister Yi Yu's."

"Jili doesn't know?"

"The mansion is unoccupied, but there is indeed an old servant guarding it. The minister sent someone to pretend to be a trick, and they are all honest people. Auspiciousness did indeed send gifts to the door. It seems that I don't know it, and I am afraid that the gentleman does not know." After Shao Yi finished speaking, he said again, "Your Majesty, it seems that someone deliberately spread this rumor. According to my opinion, I'm afraid that Eleven Lang Lord didn't take this matter to heart at all."

Zhao Cong nodded, for a cautious person like Xiao Shishi, if he had taken it to heart, he would have found out about the house a long time ago.Zhao Cong thought again, Yi Yu had been in a relationship with Xiao Tang back then, and wanted to get in touch with the princess's sister again, and was introduced to him.

This is because Zhao Zongning didn't like him, so he didn't recommend him, otherwise he would know Yi Yu before Yi Yu was admitted to the first prize.Zhao Cong didn't take Yi Yu seriously in the past, when Yi Yu's house was burned that night, he felt that Yi Yu had a ghost, and wanted to send someone to investigate Yi Yu, but he forgot about it.

Yi Yu wasn't worth his time.

At this time, he changed his mind.

Zhao Cong said in a deep voice: "Go and investigate Yi Yu carefully. There is something strange about him."

"Yes." Shao Yi nodded in response.

Zhao Shiqi also has capable people under his command, but if his subordinates want to investigate things, they always avoid the emperor and the emperor's people, and they always have to be a little secretive and cautious in their actions.

Zhao Cong was not worried at all, he was the emperor, he could always find out what he wanted to know.

But Yi Yu acted cautiously, except for his own servant who killed himself, he never killed the rest himself, even if he sent people, he made many detours.No matter how Zhao Cong understood that Yi Yu was strange, he never imagined that Yi Yu might have something to do with Du Yu's matter.

The direction of the investigation is wrong, the time of the investigation is limited, and the results of the investigation are mediocre, but they are usable anyway.

After a few days, Shao Yi came back to the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, I have found out some things in the past few days." He told Zhao Cong about Yi Yu's killing of his personal servant.

Zhao Cong frowned: "The loyal servant who grew up with him, but he had the heart to kill him. This person's heart is very poisonous."

Shao Yi said again: "Your Majesty, Yi Yu is indeed contributing to the affair between the gentleman and that woman that has been rumored in the capital recently. He spent a lot of money on the most famous teahouses and restaurants in Beijing. "

"Where's the Yuanjia teahouse?" Zhao Cong remembered that it was Zhao Shiqi's property.

"That one is the largest tea house in central Beijing, but it hasn't been announced yet."

Zhao Cong was relieved, how could it be easy for them to tell about his master.This is because Zhao Shiqi seldom goes out of the palace these days, otherwise he would have known about it.Even Zhao Cong felt that this matter was disgusting, and he warned: "Seal their mouths, don't spread this kind of thing again, so as not to be disgusting. If you really want to spread it, tell it more that Yi Yu's house was destroyed. burnt because of offending people."

"Yes."

"Don't let your lord know about this."

Shao Yi agreed.

Zhao Cong was about to tell him to back down, and said again: "By the way, you worked with Xiao Shiyi's subordinates earlier, how do you feel?"

"Lang Jun's subordinates are very capable." Shao Yi is a person who doesn't talk much, but never speaks falsely.

"If you have anything to do in the future, you can take them to do it together." As Zhao Shiqi's person, Zhao Cong also wanted to polish it for him.In case he dies early in the future, Zhao Shiqi can be regarded as someone to use.It would be best if you don't die early and die in bed.

In Zhao Cong's view, Yi Yu's matter ended here.

He felt that it was because Yi Yu didn't want to be a son-in-law that he purposely talked about his sister with Xiao Shiyi.

It's just that Yi Yu took it for granted too much. He really thought it would be that easy to marry Xiao Shiyi?Can things be accomplished by spreading these words?

Simply ridiculous!

After Shao Yi left, Zhao Cong said to Fu Lu: "This man Yi Yu, I really have to detain him in Tokyo. I want to kill him."

Fu Lu nodded: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, he killed his close servant because he was afraid of revealing his own abilities?"

"Yi Yu seems to have a vicious mind at the moment, but he doesn't know what his mind is. But if he can be admitted to the first prize, he must be very talented. I will keep him in the capital first, and if he dares to make trouble again, I don't mind Keep his technology, go to him."

Fu Lu said "yes" and dared not say more.

Zhao Cong bowed his head and wrote the decree. After writing, he handed it to Fu Lu: "Let's pass the decree."

"Yes."

Fu Lu went to Yi Yu's half-burned house to preach the decree, and His Majesty ordered him to continue to be in charge of printing in Tokyo City, and specially transferred two people from the general prison for his use.

Yi Yu couldn't figure it out, His Majesty didn't say whether he would suspend his position as magistrate of Baoying County, nor reassign him a position in the general prison.

But thinking about it, it seems that this matter is very beneficial to him?At least he has an errand, it seems that he doesn't need to be a son-in-law?He was almost overwhelmed by the strange atmosphere in Beijing and was already a little out of breath.

At this moment, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Lu saw it in his eyes, full of disdain.

How afraid is Yi Yu that he will become a son-in-law?He doesn't look at himself like that, can the princess look up to him?Can His Majesty take a liking to him?

The servants of Yi Yu's family also want to pass purses to Fu Lu privately. This is a common thing, and Fu Lu usually receives orders.At this moment, he was too lazy to take it, and the senior official Fu disliked it, so he "hummed" and walked away.

Shao Yi was away, within a few days, he found out another matter, he went to the palace to meet Zhao Cong early.

When Zhao Cong listened to the report, he liked to listen and read with a book in his hand. If it was something important, he would put down the book in his hand very quickly.Now after listening to Shao Yi's words, he didn't put the book in his hand, but he didn't move.

Shao Yi was also a little confused, not knowing whether His Majesty cared or didn't care.

He paused for a moment, then bit the bullet and said: "Today I sent something to the Zhao Mansion."

Zhao Cong's fingers tightly pinched the book in his hand, almost crumpling the book.

It was Shao Yi who really couldn't stand it, and said softly: "Your Majesty?"

Only then did he recover, and calmly said, "What did you say she gave?"

"In the beginning, it was mainly ordinary gifts. Later, when the gentleman came back from Luoyang and was injured, he began to send medicinal materials. For nearly a month, the clothes and purses were the main items. There is a very capable young lady in the mansion, but Never asked about it."

"understood."

"Ah?" Shao Yi was still a little confused, he felt that this matter was quite important.The brothers and sisters of the Yi family sent things to Eleven Lord's mansion all day long, and they still wanted to marry their younger sister there.Shao Yi must put His Majesty's safety first, and his actions and thinking are also centered on His Majesty.

It's just that His Majesty didn't seem to understand what he meant.

"You go back."

"His Majesty……"

"Go back."

Shao Yi had no choice but to back down, thinking in his mind that he would go to the palace again tomorrow to ask for an audience.

As soon as Shao Yi left, Zhao Cong threw the book in his hand angrily.

"Your Majesty?" Fu Lu asked worriedly in a low voice.

"Where is he?"

As soon as Fu Lu heard it, he knew who His Majesty was asking, and immediately responded: "Your Majesty is still studying books with the adults in the Library Pavilion. These days, he is said to be compiling books, and he is very busy."

"In official uniform?"

"correct."

Zhao Cong picked up the pen and wanted to write the letter he wanted to write before, but no matter what, the pen couldn't move, his mind was full of Shao Yi's words, and a few days ago, the clothes on Zhao Shiqi's body were obviously not made in the palace clothes.

He thought at the time that it was made of ink, but now it seems——

Zhao Cong couldn't get angry, the strength in his hand was strong, the pen was tilted, and it fell on the white paper, the end of the brush just stuck to Zhao Cong's palm, and the palm was instantly stained black.

"Your Majesty—" Fu Lu called him softly, then turned around and went to get a wet handkerchief to wipe his hands.

Zhao Cong waited for him to wipe his hands clean, then got up simply: "You go out of the palace with me, don't tell anyone."

"Huh?" Fu Lu was also taken aback.

"Go now, hurry up." Zhao Cong walked out directly.

Fu Lu was stunned, so he had to hurry up.
