Red Mansions Are Floating Clouds

Turning in, he was willing to do idle work, Taizu was grateful for his contribution and the friendship between the two, so he asked him to create a dark guard in private, because the two were admiring plum blossoms in the imperial garden at that time, they were called the inner guard of plum blossoms Afterwards, the first Duke Dingguo single-handedly founded the Plum Blossom Internal Guard, which specialized in the shady work of detectives, stealing secrets and assassinations. Over time, his powers gradually expanded, and later he also had the powers of the General Secretary of the previous dynasty. He also moved from the dark to the bright. Everyone in the court knew about it, and everyone was afraid of it. The later emperors decreed that the princes of Dingguo and the princes should be brought up together, to show the emperor's favor, and they also meant to be hostages. Fortunately, the previous generations entered the palace. All the princes have a good relationship with the prince. In Su Yunheng's generation, because his mother was a princess and gave birth late, he got along very well with the sixth prince. The deformed An Weiqing was originally his little uncle, but he The two are similar in age, and An Weiqing doesn't like to be constrained by seniority, so in private, she just calls her the name An Weiqing. The excuse to go to the south of the Yangtze River is the excuse of studying in the palace. As for how the sixth prince, An Muxuan, gritted his teeth and had red eyes with jealousy, let's not talk about it for now.

Going south this time is actually not a big deal. Although it was Ding Guogong who replaced Su Yunheng, it was also planned by Ding Guogong. He first picked this small matter for his son to practice. It's the first time I come out to do business seriously, so it's natural to be perfect

The Cao Gang has always had a tradition of helping small households to pay the grain. Each Caokou became a "contract household", and the Caokou was less exploited than the government. Therefore, many small households were more willing to let the Caokou pay the grain on their behalf to avoid extortion by officials. Later, fewer people could be exploited by the government, so the search for this part of the people became more serious, resulting in a situation of disproportionate severity. Over time, the deadline for water transportation and the quality of grain were affected, and public resentment was boiling. , which made Jinshang greatly vigilant, and then ordered the Duke of Ding to investigate the matter thoroughly.

It was only after Su Yunheng came that he found out that the Cao Gang is tightly organized, and it is difficult for outsiders to get in. It was also a while ago that the Cao Gang changed its leader, and taking advantage of the chaos in the gang, he got in and the two hidden guards changed their leader. It was revealed by others, and the others are still out of reach for the time being, but Su Yunheng has a vague feeling that the military adviser and ledger may be a big gift from the newly appointed leader to the government.

In any case, Su Yunheng was determined to find out the new gang leader to find out what happened. On this day, he received a tip-off. The new gang leader was inspecting the Caokou in Yangzhou. The brawny man in bunt only saw that the man was about 25 years old, with a face like a crown jade, long eyebrows that fell into the temples, narrow and long eyes, eyes like bright stars, a feather fan and a scarf, and a calm attitude. Li said: "Master, go slowly." The white-clothed man smiled slightly, and led the people behind him on his horse and left

No.12 Back to Beijing

Su Yunheng followed quietly, all the way to the outside of the city, those few people rode horses not fast, as if they were on an outing, Su Yunheng led the dark guards and followed them not far away to a woods, those few people were wearing bunts Suddenly he patted his horse and walked quickly, leaving this place, the leader of the white-clothed gang rode his horse into the woods, and a hidden guard behind Su Yunheng was going to chase those people, but he stopped and whispered: "I'm afraid he has discovered us a long time ago and deliberately lured us Come here, don't be fooled"

Immediately let all the hidden guards sneak into the woods and spread out, and followed the traces into the woods for a while, and saw the black horse with snow-white hooves grazing, but there was no one there. Su Yunheng looked around and said loudly: "Since you are here You brought me here, why don't you show up and see?"

Suddenly he heard a person behind him chuckle, and hurriedly turned around, and saw the white-clothed gang leader standing with his hands behind his back, saying, "Are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?"

Su Yunheng said in his heart that it was indeed you who sent the military adviser and the ledger, so he also smiled and said: "Thanks to the kindness and righteousness, I am very grateful."

The white-clothed gang leader wondered: "Huh? Then why are you following me? Two people who smuggled salt and iron were given to you by a military adviser, and the former gang leader is already on Huangquan Road. Could it be that you want to thank me in person?" Without waiting for Su Yunheng to speak, he asked himself Shaking his head with a smile, he said, "My dear brother, you don't have to be so polite. I just did this out of trouble. I'm really ashamed of you being so polite."

Su Yunheng saw that he had already called "Xiandi" by talking to himself, the corners of his mouth twitched, he said "shame and shame", but his face was full of "smug", no matter how unreliable Su Yunheng suddenly felt It's really meaningless to spend so much effort to find such a person who is a little bit stupid. Besides, he really can't be blamed for the former chief criminal, so he said: "It's just some small things that I need to trouble the chief. I haven't asked the chief's name yet." ?”

The leader of the Baiyi gang smiled and said: "Miangui's surname is Cheng, name Mengxing, word Wu Qiao, you can call me Brother Cheng, or you can call me Brother Wu Qiao"

The corners of Su Yunheng's mouth twitched again, and he cupped his hands in a salute, "So it's Master Cheng, I'm going to Su Yunheng, I'm being polite here."

Cheng Mengxing also hurriedly stuffed the fan into the sleeve, clasped his hands in a gesture and said: "My dear brother, you are welcome." The smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help it.

Su Yunheng saw his dishonest appearance and didn't want to talk nonsense, so he directly invited Cheng Mengxing to discuss in detail about the Cao Gang's collection of grain

This matter has come to an end, Lin Ruhao knew that once the case was concluded, it would not be long before he was due to return to Beijing, so he took advantage of the lukewarm weather to urge Daiyu to go back to Beijing. I found a small boat, and then I just let her quietly follow behind the fleet. Just in time, the nanny I asked Mrs. Tao to find has also arrived. The mother's surname is Hao. She was originally a female official released from the palace when she was old. She was less than thirty years old. Due to the flood in her hometown, she could not find any relatives. Mother Hao wanted to go out of the palace to reunite with her relatives, but unexpectedly, her wish was not fulfilled, and she also gave up the idea of ​​getting married. She just wanted to find a good master and live her life forever

Daiyu has been with her for a few days, and she also likes her character. Hao Hao is nearly 50 years old, but she always likes to dress up as old-fashioned as [-] years old. She is usually unsmiling, but she is soft-hearted and kind. Seeing that Daiyu is not such an unreasonable and unreasonable person, and that she treats people and things with sincerity, Mammy Hao gradually puts all her heart on Daiyu. no words

In a few days, all the luggage was packed, and all the boxes and seals were shipped to the ship. Only the daily necessities were sent to the ship when people boarded the ship.

In the middle of the day and night, Su Yunheng was sitting on the roof of Daiyu's house basking in the moon again. Knowing that Daiyu was going back to Beijing soon, his heart was full of youthful sorrow. He was shouting at Yue Chang when someone beside him said, "What's wrong? The girl doesn't like you?" Su Yunheng was so frightened that he almost fell, and when he saw that it was Cheng Mengxing, he said angrily, "What's your business?" Cheng Mengxing shook the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "As a big brother Yes, naturally you have to care about your brother's lifelong affairs and tell your elder brother, why do the girls in this family look down on you?" Su Yunheng blushed uncontrollably, and said in a rough voice: "Who said this girl doesn't like me. ...." After finishing speaking, he felt that he was falling into a pit no matter what he said, so he closed his mouth tightly and decided to ignore this person, only listening to Cheng Mengxing's babbling

To say that this Cheng Mengxing is really strange, although he is the leader of the Cao Gang, he doesn't seem to have much ambition, and he has no interest in helping. Since meeting Su Yunheng, he has been following him as if he is a good friend, and Su Yunheng has already investigated these things. , I wrote a secret booklet and sent it to the capital, but I haven't made an order yet, so I can't just go back to Beijing and watch Daiyu go back to Beijing, and I can't go with him. I found it, but I was helpless

Cheng Mengxing nagged for a long time, but didn't listen to anyone's reply, turned his head to see that Su Yunheng was still frowning, and said: "Forget it, follow the elder brother, and I will let you relieve the sorrow of lovesickness." The incense stick winked at Su Yunheng, and whispered: "If you don't need a stick of incense, you can guarantee that no matter how many people in the room, you won't wake up until the sun is up."

Seeing his wretched smile, Su Yunheng wished to push him off the roof, and secretly wondered that this man looked handsome and talented, but his temperament was so divided. Three indiscriminate means, acting like a stinky hooligan, although I knew that he was just talking, probably just to tease myself, but he still said coldly: "Mr. I won't play with you anymore, take your leave." With a little tiptoe, he swept south to Cheng Mengxing. Put away the incense sticks and chase after him

Lin Rukui sent Daiyu to Beijing for a day, and Crystal and Coral accompanied her. Because the hot spring village in the suburbs of Beijing was given to Daiyu, Song Chunsheng, Coral’s father, was given to Daiyu by the way, so that he could manage the village, and Coral’s Niang Chunsheng's family also followed Daiyu to Jia's mansion

A group of people took a boat to go north. Needless to say, when they arrived at Tongzhou Wharf, the stewards sent by Jia's mansion and many carts were waiting there. Fang to Jia's Mansion

Daiyu walked in from the hanging flower gate, holding Zijuan in her hand, followed by Hao Hao, Xueyan Shanjing and Chunxian, and the two nuns who had followed from Jia's mansion before, a total of eight people, plus the Those who lead the way and those who are supporting are really very powerful. When the maidservants standing by saw her, they all clicked their tongues secretly. Back then, Daiyu only brought Mother Wang Xueyan, an old shoe, and was alone in the house. Everyone regarded her as a poor relative who had defected, and later saw that Jia's mother loved her as much as Baoyu did.
