Nongmen Shenjue

Because the weather was too hot, and the trip to Heyi County was too smooth, there is no need to be anxious about the next trip.

Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue found a place to live, and took a serious rest for two days, slowly experiencing the heat and boredom.

During this time, Wen Jixue was not idle, because there was new news from the capital: the emperor had not been in court since April, and said to the outside world that the weather was hot to escape the summer heat, but he found out through channels that the emperor had fallen ill again. And he fainted for two or three days before waking up.

The outside world seems to be unknown, but if you hear the news that Jixue can find out, so can others.

There is good news too.

"The imperial court officially issued a transfer order, ordering Yao Wenshi to take over the post of county magistrate of Wunan County. According to the distance, Yao Wenshi has arrived at this moment." Wen Jixue had already ordered that once Yao Wenshi arrived, the arrangements there would start.

As he spoke, he handed one of the messages to Mu Qingyan: "It's from Prince Zhongjing's residence."

Mu Qingyan immediately thought of Zhai Junyang's previous commission, perhaps there was a follow-up.

After receiving the paper and looking at it, sure enough.

"Princess Zhongjing suddenly became seriously ill, and medicine and stones were difficult to cure, so she turned to seek the protection of gods and Buddhas..."

This happened half a month ago, Princess Zhongjing Xiao Huo suddenly fell ill, and within a few days there were rumors that she could not be cured.Then, construction started in the back garden of the palace, and a small courtyard was converted into a Buddhist hall. Xiao Huo lived in it with his personal maid, who only ate fast and recited Buddha every day, and handed over the palace to the concubine to manage.And this little Huo family entered it and never took a step. Prince Zhongjing has a strict order not to allow anyone to approach, so as not to disturb the purity of the princess.

It seems normal, but in fact, even Xiao Huo's parents and children have restrictions on seeing her.

Zhai Junyang and his wife only greeted each other outside the hospital every day, and did not enter the hospital.

Prince Zhongjing never went.

There was also news from the Huo family that Xiao Huo's mother, Mrs. Sanfang, fell ill due to her daughter's sudden serious illness, and died within a few days.Xiao Huo's father loved his wife deeply and was very sad. He submitted his resignation letter to the court, thanked guests behind closed doors, and did not ask about foreign affairs.

It can be seen that Zhai Junyang's exertion directly overturned all the bargaining chips of the Xiaohuo family.

This matter involved Prince Zhongjing's mansion, so the emperor must have personally handled it.

This result is merciless, the little Huo family is afraid that he will never come out again for the rest of his life, even Prince Zhongjing will be secretly reprimanded.Of course, Zhai Junyang was also affected. After all, he was suing his father and stepmother. Even if he had a famous teacher, the scandal would hurt himself after all.

Just trying to figure out the emperor's actions might be to deter others with this matter.

"This is a good time. If Yao Wenshi reports the matter of Feixian Town, it will just give the emperor a chance. Everyone thinks that the emperor is dying, and his actions are increasing. The emperor needs to kill chickens to warn monkeys." Wen Jixue's eyes flickered coldly, a series of A plan came to mind.

Dealing with Duan County King who has something to do with Feixian Town is just the beginning!

He wants to use the emperor's hand to knock down those powerful princes and county kings first.

Entrusted by Jingxian this time, he seemed to be doing coolies for a trip, but it made him suddenly happy.What is Jing Xian afraid of?The Liu family?not necessarily!King Kang treated her very kindly, but she didn't dare to ask him, for fear that it was King Kang himself who was afraid.

Maybe, this time, I can learn some secrets about King Kang from the mouth of the wet nurse.

It took several days to arrive at Chongyun Mansion.

Entering Fucheng, Gao Tian and Jiao Li went to look for the cloth village of the Jin family respectively, while Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue hid in the inn to cool off.It was evening, and the breeze was gentle, which was refreshing.

"When Jingxian entrusted her, she only said that she wanted to find the whereabouts of the nurse. She knew that her nurse had already left the capital. If she really harbored some kind of secret, she would only be farther away from the capital. I promised to help her find someone, but she didn't say I brought her back to Beijing. Could it be that I gave her the address, so she can come in person?" This is Mu Qingyan's suspicion.

"It doesn't have to be so complicated. She can't leave the capital without being noticed by others. If someone really finds out that she is looking for a wet nurse, then the wet nurse will definitely die. I guess, she is using your hand to reveal the secret. Even if it will be exposed, she will always know, it is better than the nurse dying and burying the secret."

"Perhaps." Mu Qingyan really couldn't understand what secret was so important that Jing Xian was so open-minded.You know, if it's really someone's secret that they don't want to make public, if she reveals it, it will definitely cause someone's displeasure or even resentment, and she will inevitably be retaliated against.

Judging from the contact, Jingxian has a lot of resentment towards the Liu family, but other than that, it seems that he has no other grudges.

However, Wen Jixue felt that the secret on the wet nurse's side involved Prince Kang.

Only by finding a wet nurse can we know.

Although Chongyun Mansion is large, but this time the goal is clear, just inquire about the cloth village run by a person surnamed Jin.With some copper coins, Gao Tian and the two got the news quickly and came back to report immediately.

"The night is long and there are many dreams. It is convenient to ask questions at night. Let's eat first, and then go after eating." Mu Qingyan said.

Wen Jixue had no objection.

After dinner, Gao Tian and Jiao Li stayed at the inn, only Wen Jixue and Mu Qingyan went.

Jinliu's cloth shop is located on Chengdong Street, the location is a little bit out of the way, but it has been in business for many years, and the business is doing well.It was hot in summer. After dinner, many people went for a stroll on the street to enjoy the coolness. The lights illuminated, and there were still people going in and out of the shops. It was no less deserted than during the day.

Jinjiabuzhuang!

Looking in from the gate, the shop is not small, with a counter horizontally, a clerk is entertaining customers, and another man in his forties looks down at the account book, wearing round neck satin clothes, half-finger long beard, slightly round face, smiling. Looks very nice.Hearing someone talking to him, one knew that this person was the owner of the cloth shop, Jin Liu!

Behind the counter, in addition to the shelves filled with various fabrics, there is also a small door with a curtain hanging on it.

Through this small door, it leads to the residence in the backyard.

"Guests, please come in. We have new linen in our store, and it's best to cut clothes." The waiter had just sent away the previous customers, and immediately greeted Mu Qingyan and the two warmly.

Mu Qingyan waved his hand and walked up to Jin Liu: "Boss Jin, someone in the capital asked me to ask something. I wonder if we can talk about it in another place."

Jin Liu's complexion changed abruptly: "Beijing, capital city?"

After a long while, Jin Liu recovered his complexion, looked at the two of them, and smiled wryly: "Please, both of you."

The shop at the front faces the street, and the pedestrians are bustling. Passing through a curtain, it seems to cut off the bustle. The small courtyard at the back is much quieter. Although you can still hear the movement on the street, it is not too boring.

The layout of the yard is also simple, a square yard, the ground is paved with broken bricks, very flat.A pomegranate tree was planted in the corner of the courtyard, with wooden tables and chairs under it, and a locked back door next to it.There are five or six large and small houses in the courtyard. The Jin family has a total of nine people, Jin Liu and his wife, the eldest son, daughter-in-law and grand-granddaughter, and the second son and daughter-in-law. Fortunately, the houses were large in ancient times.

At this time, the only voices in the kitchen were Jin Liu's old wife and young daughter-in-law.

"Please let her come out." Mu Qingyan's words shattered Jin Liu's little illusion.

Jin Liu nodded, but didn't move his feet, and asked tentatively, "I don't know, who sent you here?"

Jin Liu was also a servant in the palace. He heard from his adoptive father, and he also saw with his own eyes how the master's family handles servants. Many times you die without knowing why. The master's family wants to take care of you, and there are ways and means.The reason why he didn't collapse all of a sudden was because he saw that these two people came from a bright and righteous way.

What he was worried about was, once he told the other party what he knew, would he lose his life?

"Your wife used to be a nanny for the eldest daughter of the Liu family. Now that the eldest daughter Liu is old, if there is something she doesn't understand, she will naturally ask the nanny." This was said by Wen Jixue. With Jin Liu.

Jin Liu's face turned gray: "Yes, it's a big girl..."

"What 'big girl'? These two are..." A woman came out of the kitchen with an apron still around her waist. Because of her young age, her little daughter-in-law didn't come out, she just peeped at the door.

This woman is Jing Xian's nurse, and the neighbors call her "Aunt Jin".

Jin Liu looked at her and sighed again and again: "Let's talk in the room."

Jin Liu pushed open a room, which was his and Aunt Jin's room.

Aunt Jin also realized that something was wrong, Jin Liu said something to her in a low voice, and her expression immediately became the same as that of Jin Liu.

"Yes, sister Xian asked you to come?" Aunt Jin was a little absent-minded, and then resentful: "The Liu family is not a thing! Such a small child, and a girl, what can hinder? I don’t care about Sister Xian, she drove her to the temple to become a monk, but I dare not go to see her... I’m sorry for the girl’s entrustment, but I, but I can’t help it.”

"Do you know what she wants to ask you?" Mu Qingyan's obvious rhetorical tone was not a question, as if he had a plan in his chest.

Naturally, this is deceit.

Jin Liu and his wife probably have been suffering from heart problems, and the word "capital" alone can change the color of the two of them.There is no doubt that they ask Jing Xian to ask about secrets, as if it is common sense for Jing Xian to ask.

"It's all injustice, injustice!" Aunt Jin recalled the past, muttering, unable to calm down.

Jin Liu was calmer, looked at Mu Qingyan and the two, and raised his hand to press Aunt Jin's shoulder to stop her from saying more. "It's just sister Xian who wants to ask? No one else?"

"She now uses the Dharma name 'Jingxian'. She behaves quite casually and disregards etiquette, which annoys the Liu family. She doesn't recognize her, and she doesn't go back to the Liu family. Outsiders are staring at her, she It's hard for me to move, so I asked me to take it for me." With a slight movement in his heart, Mu Qingyan said vaguely: "This matter is very important to her, she said that I must ask Aunt Jin personally, and I hope Aunt Jin will not lie to her. "

"She, she is going to quarrel with the Liu family." Aunt Jin sighed. They also heard some things from the businessmen in the capital, but they heard it in general.After so many years, as long as she knows that Jing Xian is alive and has returned to the capital, Aunt Jin feels that she has nothing to worry about, and someone will always protect her.

How do you know...

The thoughts in Jin Liu's eyes changed one after another, and finally he patted her on the shoulder: "Let's talk, let's talk, it's much better than expected."

When I left the capital, because of this secret, I was afraid of being silenced, so I didn't even dare to go back to my hometown.After a lapse of more than ten years, the old man finally came to him.It seems that the plan made earlier will still be carried out.
