The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Neighborhood Xuan has recently added a new activity of "Night Reading with Candles", and there are many scholars who like to read at night.Therefore, even in the middle of the night, the book shop was quite lively.However, for the sake of safety, when it is dark, the bookstore will still close the door as usual, leaving only the back door for people to enter and exit.

Zhang Youyun was delayed on the road, so he didn't come until it was dark.When the carriage arrived at the door of Neighbor's House, he found that the door of the book shop was closed earlier than usual, so he went around to the back door to find Wanfu, the shopkeeper.

Wan Fu got the message, so he ran over in a hurry, saw him, and apologized with a smile: "Not today, our master is here, I have to serve him, at least I will not dare to play until he leaves. Let's wait for another day, but I will trouble you in vain." Go for a run."

"Why are you being polite? No one has any surprises yet. Don't bother. Wait for another day. I have brought all the food and drinks. You can choose a place for me. I will read the book first, and I will wait for you." Zhang Youyun brought the food box to Wanfu to see, but he specially brought the food and wine.

"It's so embarrassing, I brought something again, and I have to wait for me again." Wanfu smiled very apologetically at Zhang Youyun.

"Don't want to meet outside, what's the relationship between you and me? But it may be that you and I are still alive, but I hit it off with you, and I have regarded you as a lifelong friend from the very beginning. This trouble is completely unnecessary for me. It's not a big deal." Zhang Youyun's smile was gentle and gentle, and his words were friendly and powerful, which made people feel at ease after listening to them.

Wanfu hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and also said that he fell in love with him at first sight just like Zhang Youyun.So he hurriedly led him into the backyard of the neighbor's house, and then led him into the wing room where he lived and waited temporarily.Wan Fu went to the bookshelf to pick up a handful of books and let Zhang Youyun read them casually. After that, he hurriedly said goodbye to him and prepared to go to the second floor to wait for his master.

Zhang Youyun told him to be more prudent, not to be careless, and to be disgusted by his master.

When Wanfu heard the words, he put up a thumbs up and smiled at him: "You still know me, I really have this problem."

"Take a deep breath, tell yourself in your heart that you must be calm, and if you say it a few times, it will definitely work." Zhang Youyun laughed.

Wanfu listened to Zhang Youyun's words, tried it out, and really felt that his mood had calmed down a lot, so he thanked Zhang Youyun and bid farewell to him for the time being.Holding the book in his hands, Zhang Youyun nodded to Wanfu with a gentle smile.After the Wanfu people left, Zhang Youyun immediately put down the book in his hand, and looked at the environment of the room. The layout was quite satisfactory, and there were no valuable items.

I heard that the business of Neighbor House is very good. This Wanfu is a shopkeeper, so the money should not be too little, but looking at his house, he doesn't have the air of being a shopkeeper at all.In addition to furniture, tables, chairs, and bed quilts, there are only a few pieces of cheap porcelain in the room. The whole room is simple and cheap, without any particular attention.

Looking at the master from the servant, the daily life of Mr. Jia must be very simple.

Before Zhang Youyun came into contact with Wanfu, he had already inquired about the character of the elder of the Rong Mansion.The evaluations of him outside are polarized. On the positive side, they say that he is upright and just, serving the country and the people, and is a good official who cares about his subordinates.On the bad side, it is said that he is a treacherous and dandy, which is very absurd. He is an official in the court and forms a party for personal gain. He is best at conspiring to frame and eradicate dissidents.Zhang Youyun hoped that Jia Amnesty's real appearance would be in line with the negative appearances rumored outside, this would save him a lot of trouble.But now, it seemed that he was in line with the positive image, which made him a little disappointed.

Since ancient times, officials who can live a simple life generally know how to be self-sufficient.Such people are generally not very greedy, have their own stubbornness, and are basically a piece of old meat that is difficult to chew.

However, no matter how difficult Jia Amnesty is to chew on, he must chew on it in order to achieve his own goals.Anyway, with Mr. Jia here, he still has a way to get in touch with him gradually.But Master Song's side, it's really a world of difference, he can't hit it no matter what.

Thinking of this, Zhang Youyun looked out through the window.It was dark now, and only a few red lanterns hung on the corridors were dimly lit in the backyard.Zhang Youyun also found that these lanterns were all made in their workshops, so he felt a little bit like relatives, not only a happy smile with a bit of pride appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Youyun waited for a while, and saw that there was no one in the backyard for a long time, so he went out and walked to the stables.There are a total of four carriages parked in the stable, one of which is very simple, but it has eight horses.This specification can only be used by high officials of the second rank and above of the imperial court.Zhang Youyun immediately decided that this was Jia She's carriage, after all, from the time he first came into contact with Wanfu, he had figured out that Jia She was a simple person.

Zhang Youyun looked around, and immediately took out a long iron nail from his sleeve that he always carried with him every day, took a stone on the spot, and quickly nailed the iron nail into the junction of the rut and the wheel.

Zhang Youyun immediately threw the stone, clapped his hands, straightened his sleeves, and walked back to Wanfu's room calmly as if nothing happened.

After two sticks of incense, Wan Fu came back with a smile on his face, and asked Zhang Youyun to bring out the food and wine. He was fine and could eat whatever he wanted.

Zhang Youyun was busy pouring wine for Wanfu with a smile, and asked Wanfu: "I see that your master treats you very well, no, I will let you come back before you leave."

"Our master never treats his servants harshly. As long as he doesn't make mistakes and has a strict mouth, he can say anything. In fact, the master didn't say that I must be there. I'm just used to serving on the sidelines. Just now I discussed with the people around the master and said When I saw my friends, they immediately sent me back. I told you to wait so long, I'll make a toast first to apologize." Wan Fu raised his glass.

"Hey, how about one cup? I waited until you had about three sticks of incense, so I wanted three cups." Zhang Youyun deliberately said one more stick of incense, asking Wanfu to drink more.

Wanfu was also straightforward, and really poured himself three glasses of wine and drank it all.After drinking, he said, "Where did you get the wine, it's so strong!"

Wanfu took a deep breath and hurriedly ate the food with chopsticks.He took a bite of the crystal elbow, nodded hurriedly, said it was delicious, and asked Zhang Youyun where he bought this dish.

"Zhuangyuan Building." Zhang Youyun poured wine for Wanfu, "Look at you, in order to praise me, you pretended that you had never eaten the food there."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I really haven't eaten it. I heard that the food there starts at one or two taels of silver, which is too expensive! Today is really thanks to you!" Wan Fu sighed.

"How come, you are the shopkeeper of the neighbor's house, and you can't afford a tael of silver?"

"If I can afford it, I don't spend it. I have enough money. I want to give it to my wife and children." Wan Fu smiled at Zhang Youyun.

"A big man who always talks about women, isn't he afraid that others will laugh at you?" Zhang Youyun asked with a smile.

Wanfu shook his head, "Our master said that the men of the Gu family are good. If a man doesn't even care about his wife and children, he will be promising and inhumane. Besides, when I grow old, who will take care of me? Not the women and children at home."

"That's the truth." Zhang Youyun raised his glass, and continued to drink with Wanfu.

The two had eaten for about two sticks of incense when Zhang Youyun heard footsteps outside, so he slapped his forehead and said that he forgot an important matter. "I promised my elder brother that I would stop by and help him collect the bill at Zheng's house, but I forgot, it's not too late now, I have to go quickly."

Wanfu was almost drunk, he blushed and supported his forehead, and waved at Zhang Youyun drunkenly.

Zhang Youyun was still a little embarrassed, and quickly apologized.

Wanfu: "Look at you, what did you tell me just now, no one has any accidents, so let's go. I just happened to be dizzy from drinking, so I need to take a rest."

Zhang Youyun agreed, and helped Wanfu to rest on the couch. He heard the sound of ruts outside, and hurried out the door. Because the night was dark, he only vaguely saw a carriage driving out of the back door of the neighbor's house.Zhang Youyun walked a few steps quickly, and saw that it was the simple cart with eight horses.He hurried out, whistled, and called the carriage he had parked in the back alley, and immediately let the driver slowly follow the carriage ahead.

The carriage left Tongtai Street and drove about four to five feet away, when a crisp sound of wood breaking was heard, then the carriage lost its balance and the carriage fell to one side.Immediately there was a man's scream in the carriage, and the horse also neighed in shock, trying to run forward desperately. Fortunately, the coachman had experience in driving and pulled the reins in time, and two other servants jumped out of the carriage to grab him too. He stroked the mane on the horse's neck, then stroked the horse's neck to calm the horse down.

The remaining two servants lifted the curtain and carefully helped the master out of the carriage.At this time, the sound of horseshoes came from behind.The boys turned their heads and saw a richly decorated carriage parked beside them, and a handsome and modest gentleman got out of it.

The young man got out of the car and immediately walked over to ask how the situation was and if anyone was injured and needed help.

"Our master was just frightened, but it's okay. It's just that the carriage looks like it, so it can't be used."

"If your master doesn't mind, you can take the same car with me." Zhang Youyun smiled warmly.

The servant hurriedly expressed his thanks, and asked Zhang Youyun to wait for a while, then went to ask the old man who was coughing with his fist covering his mouth with his head bowed.

Zhang Youyun looked at Jia She's back by the moonlight, he was thin and not too tall, and he didn't look like a vigorous man in his prime, but more like an old man in his 60s or [-]s.

"It's a trouble to this warm-hearted young man."

Zhang Youyun was stunned for a while when he heard an old-fashioned voice, and then looked at the face of the old man after he raised his head, he turned out to be an old man with a few white beards.

This, this is Jia Amnesty?prematurely senile?

"This--uh, the master is being polite." Zhang Youyun couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes.

"This is Lord Prime Minister." The servant in front of Prime Minister Wu introduced sonorously.

Zhang Youyun was stunned again, knowing that he had made a mistake in his calculation, he hurriedly saluted Prime Minister Wu.

At this time, there was a young man carrying the lamp tower, helping Wu Cheng to approach Zhang Youyun.

Prime Minister Wu twirled his beard and looked at the young man, lamenting his enthusiasm, "I have used this carriage for seven or eight years, and I have been persuaded to change it. I am not willing, but I did not expect that today I almost lost my old life." I will trouble this young man to take me for a ride."

Zhang Youyun had recovered from his nerves at this moment, but now he did not meet Jia She as he wished. Prime Minister Wu has a noble status, and his status in the ruling and opposition parties is even more powerful than Jia She, so he won't lose any contact with him.Zhang Youyun first sighed at the carriage, then smiled and praised Prime Minister Wu for his simplicity as an official and honesty for the people, which is admirable, and then he said that he was honored to have the opportunity to let Prime Minister Wu get on his carriage.

Zhang Youyun had just finished speaking, before Prime Minister Wu could answer, the sound of horseshoes came from behind him.After the sound of hooves approached, the coachman shouted: "Woo--"

The servant reported abruptly: "Master, it's the Prime Minister's carriage that broke down."

Zhang Youyun and Wu Chengping both looked over.Zhang Youyun looked at this luxury carriage inlaid with gold and embellished with jade, and couldn't help but estimate the expensive cost of this carriage, which was four to five thousand taels of silver.This is really a walking silver mountain.This car was drawn by eight horses, so it should be a high-ranking officer in the court, but I don't know who is the person in the car.

Then, Zhang Youyun's eyes became a little straight.

A man in green clothes and jade face stepped out of the car. He was heroic and imposing, with a trace of loneliness in his brows.When the man saw Prime Minister Wu, he didn't smile, nor did he intend to flatter him. He just glanced at the miserable state of the carriage that Prime Minister Wu was riding in with clear and cold eyes, and raised his brows with a hint of sarcasm.

"What do you mean?" Prime Minister Wu glared at him.

"Cai Feiping told you earlier that you have grown old bones, and you insisted on taking such a miserable old carriage to ask for guilt. How many people persuaded you and you didn't listen, I think you deserve it today."

"Marquis Jia En, why don't you imitate that guy, imitate his mouth!" Prime Minister Wu blew his beard and glared at Jia Amnesty, but he was not really angry.Immediately, Prime Minister Wu pointed to the carriage that Jia Amnesty was riding in, "Who is like you, what a prodigal!"

"I'm willing to spend your money?" Jia Amnesty raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

Prime Minister Wu gave Jia She a disgusted look, snorted coldly, and said, "Help the old man into the carriage."

The boy quickly supported him.Prime Minister Wu pushed away the servant next to him, pretending to scold: "Did you say that?"

Jia She understood and didn't think much of it, so he really came to help Prime Minister Wu, and asked him to get into his carriage, and soon he got in too.

The carriage drove away immediately.

Zhang Youyun stood in the same place for a long time in a daze, and in the next moment, a servant from Prime Minister Wu's family talked to him, and Zhang Youyun finally realized it.

After the servants thanked Zhang Youyun for their prime minister, they asked Zhang Youyun's name before giving up.

After Zhang Youyun got into the carriage, he beat his thigh, complaining that he was too stupid and too clever.But just watching Jia She and Wu Cheng bickering with each other, the relationship between the two should be very good.If he could get to know Prime Minister Wu because of this connection, it would not be impossible for him to get to know Jia She again.

After Prime Minister Wu was sent home by Jia She, he insisted on staying with Jia She for tea. By the way, he sighed that his carriage was really comfortable, soft, as comfortable as sleeping on a couch.

"I asked someone to make a special cushion. If you like it, I'll ask someone to give you a set." Jia She said.

"I still like your carriage, why don't you give it to me?"

"I want to give it away, but I'm afraid you won't accept it. You never want to owe favors." Jia She's words hit Prime Minister Wu's mind.

Prime Minister Wu nodded with a smile, "That's true. As expected of Marquis En, he understands my heart! However, this carriage belongs to Song Xi, how dare you give it to me casually?"

"If I'm willing, the Song Mansion can give it to you." Jia Amnesty smiled confidently.

Prime Minister Wu gave Jia Amnesty a thumbs up, "It's only been a few days, and you've got the property of the Song family, I'm so impressed!"

"It's as if I'm taking his family's money. I don't have such thoughts. It's his own willingness."

"This is even more powerful. Don't talk about it, the old man will be jealous if you continue to listen." Prime Minister Wu put down his teacup heavily and hurried away.

Jia Amnesty stood up and said goodbye, then remembered what happened just now, and asked Prime Minister Wu who was in the other carriage.

"I don't know, I met a kind-hearted young man on the way."

Jia She sneered, "I turned around and asked about the identity of that person, and asked someone to tell me that I will thank him for you!" The reason for getting on the door panel early.Of course, officials are not bound by the curfew system when they travel.But that young man obviously passed by no coincidence.

Besides, after instructing Prime Minister Wu, Jia Amnesty left.

The next day, Prime Minister Wu reported Zhang Youyun's identity to Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty recognized this man as soon as he saw his name.Because when he asked someone to check Zhang Youwang earlier, he had seen the name of Zhang Youwang's second brother.

"Is our news network slack? Why didn't anyone tell me that the second son of this family is back?"

The black pig was stunned for a moment, and quickly apologized: "It's your incompetence. There are not many people in this house, and there are only 23 servants in total, and all of them are very tight-lipped. Recently, there was indeed a handsome man The man went in and out of the Zhang family, so he didn't live in the Zhang family, so everyone thought he was someone who had business dealings with the Zhang family. No one thought that he was the second master of the Zhang family who was traveling abroad. This Zhang Youyun has traveled abroad for a full year , he was still a black loach when he left, but he became so handsome and handsome when he came back, it’s no wonder that the neighbors around don’t recognize him, it’s indeed hard for people to tell the difference.”

"After traveling for seven years, he was only ten years old when he left." Jia She sighed, "At such a young age, his family will feel at ease? And why doesn't he live in Zhang's house and stay in a hotel instead?"

"I walked with his second uncle back then, in order to gain experience, gain knowledge, and learn the way of doing business. As for why I didn't live in the old house after I came back, I don't know,"

Jia Amnesty then asked where the second master of the Zhang family was now.

The black pig shook his head and said he didn't know, "I only know that Zhang Youyun came back by himself. Unless you ask Zhang Youyun himself, I'm afraid it's very difficult to find out the whereabouts of Master Zhang Er."

"The number of Zhang family's servants is also wrong. The house is so big, even if it's just cooking and cleaning, these people are not enough, let alone there are many other chores." Jia She said puzzled.

"You guys just found out about this matter. The brothers of the Zhang family always order their meals from the Zhuangyuan Building, and they don't cook at home. The twenty or so servants can just make their own food. As for cleaning, it should be just Clean up one or two courtyards where you live. Every ten days, servants from the lantern workshop will come to clean up the garden and the flowers and plants in the garden." The black pig explained.

Jia She felt that this was even more strange.Since the Zhang family brothers are not people who live a messy life, why should the number of servants in the house be reduced to such a number.Look at the carriage that Zhang Youyun was riding that day, it was also complicated and gorgeous, so it seems that the Zhang family brothers are not simple people.Living in a big house, riding in a glamorous carriage, but they are very economical in terms of employment. It seems that they can't afford other expenses in order to save face, so they are desperately thrifty behind the scenes.

Jia Amnesty asked Heizhu to check the accounts of Zhang's lantern workshop to see if it was in a deficit.

Jia Amnesty then went to the Lin residence, saw Zhang Youwang, and gave him a jade pendant.

"The last time we met, we had a lively conversation, but I forgot to give you the meeting gift I prepared earlier."

When Zhang Youwang saw Jia Amnesty, he also gave himself a mutton fat jade pendant, which was better than the one given to Su Yuanchun in terms of quality.Zhang Youwang was very happy and heaved a sigh of relief, it turned out that Lord Jia forgot to give it to him, so he happily thanked Jia Amnesty several times.

"Is your second brother Zhang Youyun?" Jia She asked.

Zhang Youwang was smiling innocently, but when Jia She mentioned his second brother, his eyes darkened, his smile restrained, and he nodded seriously to Jia She.

"Prime Minister Wu's carriage broke down last night. It's rare to meet your second brother to help me. I think I can meet him if I have the chance."

Hearing this, Zhang Youwang hurriedly agreed, and happily told Jia She, and he immediately sent someone to inform his second brother, asking him to come and visit Jia She on his own initiative some day.

Jia Amnesty agreed, so he sent Zhang Youwang to class, and turned to see Lin Ruhai.

"It's been confirmed. Su Yuanchun is innocent. If you don't like it, you can send him away as soon as possible."

Lin Ruhai frowned when he heard this, "It turns out that Zhang Youwang has a problem? I think that kid Su Yuanchun is a bit more thoughtful, and I thought it might be him."

Lin Ruhai regretted it, but after thinking about it carefully, Su Yuanchun was not bad, and he was not willing to drive him away, so let's take a look first before talking.Turn around and ask Jia Amnesty, what is the purpose of the Zhang family brothers' calculations like this.

"I guess it's nothing harmful. Maybe it's really an idea to make you recruit a son-in-law, thinking of letting their third brother join the Lin family, so that their Zhang family will be able to rely on them in Beijing in the future. Let the Zhang family's foundation continue." Jia She has thought about this matter carefully, the lanterns of this family have a history of [-] years in Beijing, and this time the Lin family is recruiting a son-in-law, they are really going to fight, so there should be no trick marriage trick.Besides, Daiyu is still young, so she doesn't meet the conditions of the previous two fraudulent marriage cases.

Jia Amnesty then thought that the fraudulent marriage case should be based on the second child Zhang Youyun who was traveling abroad.According to the time of Zhang Youyun's return to Beijing, it happened to be not long after the fraudulent marriage case in Yuzhou happened, which coincided with the time.As for Zhang Youyun's other conditions, we will have to wait to see him, and then let Wang'er and Yuzhou Chang's master identify him.

Jia Amnesty immediately sent people to Changzhou to invite the master of the Chang family to come.As for the Suzhou side, as long as the Fang family knows that there is news about their visiting uncle, they will definitely not be able to sit still and will come to Beijing sooner or later.After all, the lady of the Fang family even gave birth to a son, how could she swallow this breath.

"My lord, you guys have checked it out. There is an extra piece of this thing in the rut of the prime minister's carriage, which caused the rut to break."

Jia Amnesty took the iron nail from Zhu Mao, it was twice the length of an ordinary iron nail, and it was already bent badly.

"This is the dirty trick that almost everyone in Beijing knows how to do." Hei Zhu introduced.

Jia Amnesty frowned, and immediately ordered someone to go to Neighborhood Xuan to investigate, who had entered or left the backyard of Neighborhood Xuan yesterday.Not long after, Wanfu was dragged over.After being questioned, Wanfu suddenly realized that he had lured a wolf into the house. He was so frightened that he trembled all over, and hurriedly kowtowed to Jia Amnesty to apologize.

Zhu Mao and the others just watched, and instead of helping to intercede, scolded him for what he deserved.

Wanfu slapped himself, scolding himself for being deceived by lard, yet he still thinks Zhang Youyun is a good person, "Seeing how warm-hearted he is to help, he is humble and kind, and I really think he is a rare friend to be with. I really didn't expect him to be counting on the little one!"

Wanfu kowtowed twice again.

Jia Amnesty felt that since Zhang Youyun approached Wanfu a few days earlier, and also made an appointment to meet Wanfu last night, he shouldn't be plotting against Prime Minister Wu.Yesterday Prime Minister Wu and Cai Feiping decided to go to Neighborhood Pavilion with him to discuss matters temporarily, it is impossible for Zhang Youwang to know in advance.This also shows one thing, that Zhang Youyun came for himself.Thinking about this piece, You Yun also had some brains, seeing the plain layout of Wanfu's room, he felt that his master was the same, so he picked Prime Minister Wu's most simple-looking carriage to start with, but he didn't think it was a misjudgment.

Jia Amnesty was rather curious about the purpose of You Yun approaching him.He has a son and a young daughter, and it is absolutely impossible for him to find a son-in-law.Why did he attract Zhang Youyun's attention to someone like him who did not meet the requirements for recruiting a son-in-law at all?Jia Amnesty really couldn't figure it out.

Left and right Zhang Youwang has already sent a message to his second brother.If Zhang Youyun intends to approach him, he will definitely not miss this opportunity.Jia Amnesty wanted to see what his purpose was this time.

Apart from this matter, there was another matter that worried Jia She.

Jia Amnesty received news one after another that there were already five high gates in the capital raising birds.The earliest one was the Xie family, a well-known imperial merchant in Beijing, who specialized in supplying silk cloth to the palace and had strong financial resources.The elder of his family is nearly sixty now, but he is lustful. He raised two 'little birds' as early as five years ago, and a girl gave birth to a son at the end of last year.The old master of the Xie family was happy, so he straightened her up and made her the "old lady" of the Xie family.

As for the other families, they all came up with some new tricks to cater to the curiosity-seeking interests of the male hosts, just like the Duke of Dongping.

There are already six families in the capital, so it can be seen that if this bad habit is not eradicated, it will become more and more popular in the capital.

As for the Cao family, it has been quiet so far, and nothing special has happened.

In fact, Jia Amnesty had already written a manuscript about the scandal of the Cao family, but he always felt that after the conspiracy in the back house was revealed, it would be Cao Qingming, the eldest son of the Cao family, who would be injured, so he hesitated all the time, wondering whether to print the manuscript and publish it.

Yesterday afternoon, Cao Lan was released from the jail in Gyeonggi Province.I heard that he has given up his mind and is willing to leave Beijing.Jia She felt that it was impossible, but if the Cao family all left the capital, it would be easy for him to do so.

At noon, the black pig sent news that Cao Lan had left Beijing first with some entourage and a few carriages.

"Did his wife and children follow?" Jia Amnesty asked for confirmation.

"No. Shi's and Cao Lan's sons and daughters are still staying in the capital, saying that they will move after Cao Lan settles down in his hometown later."

The reason was plausible, but Jia Amnesty knew very well what kind of scheming Shi must have used to persuade Cao Lan to leave obediently.After all, Cao Lan is so infatuated with Concubine Xian, he must be very eager to spread the news he knows to the palace, how can he really leave the capital with peace of mind.Jia She felt that the Shi family must have seized on Cao Lan's weakness and promised to pass on news to Cao Lan.And the reason for Shi's stay is definitely not for such a simple matter, there must be other purposes.

Judging from the fact that she continued to commit adultery with her younger brother Cao Ban when she was in prison in Cao Lan, this woman is absolutely courageous enough.The secret between her and Shan Guogong is already very dangerous, and she can also commit adultery with Cao Lan's own brother and nephew at the same time.In addition, a son was 'born' through a fake pregnancy, and Cao Ban's son was blatantly raised under Cao Lan's name as his legitimate son for more than ten years.

It doesn't matter if you don't want to, the more you think about it, the more Jia She feels that Shi Shi is not simple.

Recently, Jia Amnesty asked people to investigate the entire Cao family, and naturally he did not let Cao Ban go.Cao Ban is a man with no morals and talents, and he is a villain. He has always been jealous of his elder brother, and he has told his friends brazenly that he wants to replace his elder brother.In fact, based on Cao Lan's original meritorious service and contribution to the court, he will surely affect his descendants when he grows old.At the beginning, Cao Qingming became Cao Lan's son-in-law, which was considered to have fulfilled half of Cao Ban's original dream, but something changed later.

The last time Mrs. Shi brought the children to the gate of Rongfu to beg to kneel, on the one hand, she might have fulfilled her duty as a wife and acted for outsiders; I hope that Cao Lan will have the opportunity to return to her original post and benefit her descendants.But later, because Mrs. Yin leaked it to Shi Shi, letting Shi know that Cao Lan was crazy about the concubine Xian, he must have lost his mind, and then went to adultery with Cao Ban even more wantonly.

Jia She always felt that once Cao Lan left, the Shi family would definitely do something.

Jia Amnesty simply dispatched most of his secret guards to monitor Shi Shi and Cao Ban.The king of Dongping County can't slack off either.Jia Amnesty always felt that since he gave him a woman, he must buy a new one.Since he refused to reveal his purchase channel, he would naturally send someone to track and obtain it secretly.

The next morning.

Jia She just woke up after a good night's sleep, drank tea, and before he fully opened his eyelids, the black pig rushed in to report the news.Just listening to Heizhutou's words, Jia Amnesty was stimulated soberly.

"Yesterday evening, the king of Dongping County visited Shan Guogong's mansion and chatted with Dongping County king until late at night before returning. Not long after, a man came out of Shan Guogong's mansion and went to Cao Ban's house. When it was just dawn this morning, Cao Qingming came from Cao Ban Half of the house left, took a carriage by himself, followed by a car, and left the city."

"Are you sure it's Cao Qingming?" Jia Amnesty was in high spirits.

"Yes, it just so happens that Cao Banzhai has an informant from our previous development, and he saw it with his own eyes." Heizhu said.

Jia She frowned, "Cao Qingming often goes to Cao Ban's house?"

"According to the informant, I will go there every seven or eight days. Every time I go, I can chat with Cao Ban very well, and the two will chat and laugh in the room for a long time." The black pig paused, Seeing Jia She's serious expression, he said, "Master, I think this is a problem with uncle and nephew. After all, Cao Ban is a concubine, and his relationship with Cao Lan was not good before, and he almost never interacted with him. Cao Qingming used to hide it from Cao Lan went to see Cao Ban, he must know his own life experience."

"It's more than knowing." Jia She sighed.

But after Dongping County King and Shan Guogong met, Shan Guogong's people ran to see Cao Ban, and then Cao Qingming left Beijing.Such a coincidence is clearly telling that the matter of "raising birds" in the capital has something to do with Shan Guogong, Cao Qingming, Cao Ban and Shi Shi.

No wonder the king of Dongping County refused to disclose the method of purchase. It turned out that Duke Youshan was the guarantor.

Jia She drew the relationship between the characters on the paper, noting that the custom of raising birds came from Lingzhou, which is the hometown of Duke Shan.There are also the three nuns in charge of Chunshui, Chunshan and Chuntu in the secret house that Xianger said.

After Jia She wrote the names of these three people, Jia She glanced at the other people on the paper, and finally settled on Shi Shi.

The old steward of Shan Guogong's mansion once said that when Shan Guogong was in Lingzhou, he raised four "little birds" in the other garden, Shi Shi was one of them, so would the other three Is it Xiang'er's so-called three nuns in charge, Chunshui, Chunshan and Chuntu?Judging from the age, Jia She felt that his guess was probably true.

As for who is the mastermind of the bird raising incident in the capital, it can be seen from the character relationship diagram.

The most important point of all personnel relations is Shi Shi.Whether it was Cao Qingming, Cao Ban or Shan Guogong, they all got in touch with each other later because of their relationship with the Shi family.

Therefore, the matter of "raising birds" in the boundary of the capital should have been established by the Shi family alone, with the assistance of Shan Guogong, and Cao Qingming and Cao Ban were responsible for the specific implementation.Chunshui, Chunshan and Chuntu are responsible for daily selection of girls, teaching them with their own personal experience, and finally training qualified 'little birds' to provide to Shi.

Of course, Jia Amnesty's conjectures have not been confirmed one by one.So he still has to wait patiently for the follow-up development of the matter. If the secret guards can follow Cao Qingming to find the lair where the 'Little Birds' are cultivated, they will catch Cao Qingming.Then Jia Amnesty could easily find out the crimes of their entire gang from the youngest hand.

In the morning, Jia Amnesty went to the Hall of Martial Arts to look for Song Xi after finishing his official duties at Yushitai.It happened that Song Xi went to see the emperor, but he was not there, so Jia Amnesty waited for him in the Wuying Hall.

After Cai Feiping heard the news, he hurried over and asked Jia Amnesty with a smile, "I heard that Old Man Wu's carriage finally broke down, and you happened to bump into him, so you saved him?"

Jia Amnesty: "You miscalculated, his carriage is really not broken, it was tampered with."

"Yo, there is such a thing, then I can't laugh at him." Cai Feiping saw Jia She's face calm, without any doubt, and he knew that he had already known it, "Tell me, who is it?" So bold?"

Jia Amnesty didn't speak.

Cai Feiping smiled, "Forget it, if you don't tell me, I'm not curious to ask, so I'll tell you something else. It's a coincidence that Zhang Youwang, you remember, is one of the students your brother-in-law took [-]. A few days ago, I met a kind-hearted young man by chance, and we hit it off right away, but unfortunately he left without leaving a name for me. Who would have known that this man was Zhang Youwang's second brother when we met yesterday."
