Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

The next day, the windy and snowy weather was considered good in the cold winter months. Yunyao arranged homework for her nephew, let him read and write in the study, and she quietly waited for Wang Quan to bring back the news.

Pei Qian was studying in the Imperial College, because the Pei family was not short of money at that time, so the yard that Pei Qian rented was very good, and there were two servants to attend to him, and an extra cleaning woman was hired in the yard. When the servants came to the capital, they naturally lived in the yard rented by their son. Looking at her son who was so feverish and confused on the bed that he was almost delirious, Mrs. Pei wanted to cry but had no tears.

People in the Pei family knew Wang Quan. Wang Quan did not dare to get too close to this rented house. He spent a few scattered money to inquire about a lot of things from others. This place is full of students who live in the Imperial College. I don't know the basics, but I still know everything that happened in the capital.

In the afternoon, Wang Quan and the five servants ate some casual meals outside before returning to Wen's house. They not only inquired about Pei Qian, but also wandered around the street to inquire about a lot of things about Duke Qi's mansion. However, he was afraid of attracting the attention of the Duke of Qi, so he had to keep a low profile. Fortunately, a group of boys have been trained during this time, and the level of inquiring about news is much higher than before.

In the study room, the blue and white incense burner in the corner was burning with smoke, the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin was burning vigorously, and there was a strong warmth in the room. Yun Yao asked Wang Quan and the others to slow down for a while before speaking. .

About half a quarter of an hour later, Wang Quan and the others warmed up. Wang Quan took the lead, and the servant added, telling the truth of what they heard today.

"Miss, Pei Jieyuan seems to be very sick now. I heard from his neighbors that he was sick and bedridden before we arrived in Beijing, and he has not recovered. That boy ran back to Huadan County to invite Pei. Old lady, Ms. Yang San from Duke Qi’s mansion invited the imperial physician to treat her. The imperial physician also said that the wind and cold entered her body, and it was threatening, and Pei Jieyuan was deeply depressed. It was not easy to get better. However, Miss Yang San was very kind to Pei Jieyuan. He hired an imperial doctor and hired someone to take care of him, and everyone around him envied Pei Jieyuan for having such a virtuous and virtuous fiancée."

Wang Quan's expression was very tangled. Pei Qian has always been a very good person. He was polite and polite to the elders and servants. Life and death ruined his own lady, and also implicated the master and uncle, leaving only women and children in the Wen family. When will the Wen family be revitalized?

Yun Yao nodded: "Uncle Wang, thank you for your hard work."

Wang Quan hurriedly replied: "It's not hard." Afterwards, several people continued to report what they found out.

"Miss, I don't know if Duke Qi's mansion is considered a high position in the imperial court. Duke Qi himself is the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment. His younger sister is Concubine Qi De in the palace. He has a second prince. A gentle, refined and polite person, everyone has a very good impression of him. The second prince's concubine is also very famous. The second prince's backyard wives and concubines are very harmonious. By the way, the second lady of the Duke of Qi's mansion is one of the second prince's side concubines. I heard that Concubine Qi had already talked about other marriages back then, and the wedding date was set in autumn, but she didn't expect that during the Shangsi Festival that year, a group of noble ladies and sons went out on a spring trip, and several female relatives fell into the river. Concubine Qi was captured by the Second Prince. Those who were rescued were not married, so Concubine Qi had no choice but to abandon her marriage and marry the second prince as a concubine." Wu Qi, the servant, vividly described the love affair between the second prince and Concubine Qi in those years.

Yun Yao curled her lips into a smile: "This matter must be tricky. There are so many guards and servants, is there a need for the second prince to come forward to save people? Maybe the second prince and his second cousin have already secretly negotiated the song. Which house is it from?"

"The eldest lady and the third lady are the daughters of the Duke of Qi, the second lady is the daughter of the second wife of the Duke of Qi, and the master of the second bedroom is only a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Industry. The second Miss Yang originally said that the marriage was the son of a fourth-rank official. The palace becomes Prince Qing’s concubine. Fourth Miss Yang is the concubine of the third bedroom, and Miss Yang Wu is the concubine daughter of the third bedroom. For the time being, there are only so many daughters in Duke Qi’s mansion.” Wang Quan pondered for a moment and then took the daughters of the Duke of Qi’s mansion one by one. Come.

The boy Wan Yang's eyes lit up, and after the housekeeper finished speaking, he quickly took over the words and said, "Miss, there is a very strange thing, that is, Miss Yang San was originally engaged a year ago, and the person who engaged her was Xuan Ning The son of the Hou Mansion, but he doesn't want the engagement candidate to be Miss Yang Fourth within less than a month."

"Do you know the reason?" Yun Yao frowned, and Wan Yang shook his head and said, "It seems that there is a specious news that Miss Yang is in love with the son of Xuanning Hou, and Miss Yang will not mess with the sisterhood and destroy the sisterhood. This marriage was given to my younger sister." How could such a secret be spread to the outside world, this news is definitely not reliable.

Yun Yao sneered again, is there room for marriage?I'm afraid it's because Miss Yang San doesn't like Xuanning Hou Shizi.

"It seems that we have a hard way to seek justice." Yun Yao sighed. With the power of Duke Qi's mansion, as well as Concubine Qi De and the second prince in the palace, Emperor Jiayuan would only handle it lightly.

Wang Quan and the servants were silent for a while. How can they contend with this first-class family of powerful people?

Yun Yao lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Tell me about the princes, the first prince, the second prince, the third prince, etc. Who does the emperor want to be the prince? Does he particularly like the second prince?"

Wang Quan and the others were silent for a while, and said after a while: "Indeed, the Holy Majesty has five princes in total, and he is particularly fond of the second prince, followed by the eldest prince and the third prince. Not yet married, not yet formally going to court. The eldest prince is born of Concubine Liu Gui, and the third prince is born of Concubine Zhang Hui. In terms of family background, only Concubine Liu Gui and Concubine Qi De can be compared, but Concubine Liu Guifei’s natal family has many descendants of the Duke of Jingguo. , unlike Duke Qi's mansion which has always had a good reputation in the capital."

Concubine Liu Gui's natal nephew and others are one of the overlords in the capital. Concubine Qi De's natal nephew and others are humble when they see Concubine Liu Gui's natal nephew.

"Concubine Qi De is a smart person, and her natal family is also a smart person. What about the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince?" Yun Yao frowned, this is a bit difficult, she must bring down the Duke of Qi Otherwise, she and her nephew would have no place to stay.

"The third prince's mother and concubine is Concubine Zhang Hui, her family background is low, and it was because her son became a concubine. The Zhang family was originally a sixth-rank official. After so many years, Zhang Huifei's father has also retired, and he was only a fourth-rank official. The brothers from the natal family are only minor officials of the fifth or sixth rank, but they all have real power and do practical things. The fourth prince's mother and concubine are one of the six concubines, and her natal family Liu's family background is also of considerable status. The fifth prince is only 12 years old, and he is the great-grandson of Chen Dashi, who has already retired. Concubine Chen Guifei is the granddaughter of Chen Dashi. The prince has a very close relationship."

These are all basic news. Everyone who has lived in the capital for a long time knows that the second prince is a well-known gentle man who treats his younger siblings very kindly. The noble concubine loves her, and she has always been innocent and kind.

Yunyao's mind was spinning quickly. She was thinking that if she united with Concubine Liu Guifei's natal family, the Duke of Jingguo's mansion would destroy the second prince's arm, Concubine Liu Guigui and the Duke of Jingguo's mansion should be quite happy. worse.

"How is Jing Guogong? Qi Guogong is the left servant of the Ministry of punishment. He is in the Ministry of punishment. I dare not go to justice. And who are the Minister of the Ministry of punishment and the minister of Dali Temple? Who are the censors on the left and right of the inspectorate? The government has something to do with it? Uncle Wang, to be honest, I plan to wait until I have collected enough evidence to beat Deng Wengu."

The five young men were confused, but Wang Quan's expression changed, "Miss, no, the first thing you need to do when you knock on Deng Wen Drum is to hit the complainant with [-] boards, and if the person who sues is an official, there will be an additional [-] boards." , your body can’t bear it, even if Uncle Wang goes, he’s only afraid he’ll die.”

Yun Yao shook her head: "It's just that there is no other way. To attract the attention of the Holy Majesty, the government and the public, Dengwen Drum is the best way, so I plan to go to the end of February next year and sue Yang San before Pei Qian's imperial examination. Miss and Mrs. Pei, they partnered to frame me and ruin my reputation. Now the death of my eldest brother is missing. Is it because of Miss Yang San? Miss and Mrs. Pei have no orders, tell them that they don't need to add boards."

Wang Quan still objected, but Yun Yao said again: "It's just a flesh wound, it's not a problem. Didn't Mrs. Pei dislike me for obstructing her son's way? Then I will completely destroy her son. For the past three years, the Pei family has eaten me up." Use mine, I serve Mrs. Pei like a mother, manage the family business, support Pei Qian to study at ease, once Pei Qian wins the exam, he wants to kick me out, it's not that cheap."

Wang Quan no longer objected, he thought to himself, when the time came he would go to beat the Dengwen drum, he was not yet 50 years old, his body was still strong, and he could still stand thirty boards.

Yun Yao pondered for a while before she said: "Uncle Wang, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion and I have planned everything. Now there are nearly three months until the end of February, which is enough to do many things. The most important thing now is to find I'm afraid it's hard to find out if the death of the elder brother was man-made, Uncle Wang, help me prepare, I will go to Luolingya in three days, and I will meet the gangsters for a while."

Wang Quan wanted to go with him, but this time Yunyao only planned to take a coachman and a woman, and the woman was still Zhang Pozi, Zhang Pozi was tall and strong, with a lot of strength, no worse than an ordinary man.

If she didn't need someone to drive the car, she wouldn't even take the driver with her, because the gangsters would kill people if they didn't see them because they were women and children, which gave her great convenience.

When Yunyao went to Luolingya, Wang Quan and others continued to stare at the Duke of Qi's mansion in the capital, trying to find out more secret problems of the Duke of Qi's mansion.

Luolingya is the only place to pass from Huadan County to Rongliu County. The terrain is not dangerous. Few caravans are in danger at Luolingya. After all, Luolingya is not far from the capital. Its reputation is too great to attract the attention of the court It's troublesome.

Now the weather is very cold, the bandits in Luolingya are hiding very deep, and the master behind them has not ordered them to do anything, so they are all hiding in the stockade, Maodong.

When Yun Yao reached a place five miles away from Luoling Cliff, she stopped and asked the coachman and Mrs. Zhang to wait for her in a dense forest. She would definitely come back within three days.

After wandering around in the mountain forest for three or four hours, Yun Yao discovered a stockade hidden in the middle of the mountain. The cold wind was blowing. There was a dense forest outside the stockade. The young men were training uniformly. After observing for a while, Yun Yao found that most of them were young and middle-aged men. serve these people.

Yunyaomao watched from the tree for a long time, and his expression became more and more serious. These people seem to be not ordinary gangsters. There are people behind them, and the rules are strict. In ancient times, only the army could train the team meticulously, and a dynasty lived in stability for a long time. The discipline of the army is not so strict. Many troops have scattered discipline. The gangsters in this cottage are stricter than the army.

Looking for an opportunity, Yunyao sneaked into the kitchen and put heavyweight Mongolian perspiration medicine into the large water tank in the kitchen. Due to dilution, it will not take effect so quickly, but it will take effect one after another within an hour, while the people in the cottage will only take effect. I feel that I am sleepy, and I don't realize that I have been drugged in the first place.

Another hour later, everyone in the cottage had dinner. Under her observation, the strong men from the first, second, and third heads of the cottage, down to the kitchen chopping firewood, all went into the house and fell asleep, some with strong resistance. The people are still muttering, there is no woman in this wilderness, it is really boring, and they are not allowed to go out to rob women. A few beautiful chicks had a good time.

Yunyao observed these few hours, and already knew the house of the three masters. In the night, she nimbly entered the room of the chief master through the window. The room was pitch black, but her eyesight was not affected much. He fell on the bed, because it was just sweat medicine, which would only make people drowsy, so Yun Yao fed the man another ecstasy/magic drug, about half a quarter of an hour, the man woke up, staring blankly at the roof.

Then Yunyao asked him if he had anything to do with Duke Qi's mansion. This person told everything he knew honestly, but Yunyao didn't expect that she would actually catch a big fish. This cottage is the Duke of Qi's mansion. In the place where private soldiers are trained, these people work part-time as thugs and bandits. They received the order from Mr. Ji above to stop Wen Tianhua. The place where the children are released, the Duke of Qi's government in that place will train a group of such talents.

"Who is Mr. Ji?" This person only received the orders of the so-called Mr. Ji, and Mr. Ji is the one who controls them. All the orders of Mr. Qi are also issued by Mr. Ji, and they just need to follow them.

"Master Ji is the son of the chief steward of Duke Qi's mansion, he is known as Zhuge Kongming." The master said blankly.

Yun Yao continued to ask some questions, such as what other private soldiers he knew about the Duke of Qi's mansion, and more secret things about the Duke of Qi's mansion, not to mention that the head of the family knew a lot, especially this In the past five years, he pretended to be a gangster and killed officials, many of whom were opponents or teammates of the Duke of Qi.

This question lasted for more than half an hour, until the head of the family finished all the things he knew about Duke Qi's mansion, and then she quietly left.

As for the second day, whether there was any intrusion in this cottage, Yunyao was not afraid of their suspicion, anyway, they would never think of anyone coming here.

The coachman and Mrs. Zhang hid in the dense forest. All day and night, they dared not fall asleep until the sky was light and the eldest lady returned.
