"Tuoheqi?" The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows.

"Yes," Wei Jingguo bowed his head and said, "The commander of the infantry is in charge of the garrison of the capital, holding the Eight Banners infantry and the military power to patrol and arrest the fifth battalion. It's so important, I put the letter on my body before I could think about it."

The fourth elder brother made a sign, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and his tone was soft, "Did you bring the letter out?"

Wei Jingguo slightly raised his eyebrows and glanced at the fourth elder brother, then hurriedly bowed his head and said, "It's because I didn't think carefully, I didn't expect that I would be—"

"Where is the letter?" Fourth Prince interrupted Wei Jingguo.

Wei Jingguo swallowed secretly, and said under his throat, "Back to Lord Baylor, the letter was hidden in the middle of the belt by the slave."

At the gate of the East Courtyard, Xiao Yingzi dozed off against the doorpost, and the sound of heavy footsteps approached a little bit, Li Ying was startled suddenly, opened her eyes, "Prince Wang!"

Wang Qin lifted the food box on the handle, "Our family is here to deliver food to the master, where is the master resting?"

"Master has not rested, he has been busy with business," Li Ying scratched the back of his head, "However, why is the prince serving the meal today? Where are the people in the dining room?"

Wang Qin bent his mouth, looked down at the food box in his hand, "Today's dishes are good, and it would be a waste of effort to ask the people in the dining room to pick them up."

In the study room, the fourth elder brother stuffed a piece of letter paper stained with a little blood into a flat envelope.

Fu Nai stood aside with his hands behind his back, and bowed to accept the envelope handed over by the fourth elder brother.

"Find someone who is honest and reliable, and send this letter secretly to Prince Yu's mansion," the fourth elder brother looked out of the window with his hands behind his back, "Prince Yu is the person who understands Huang Ama's thoughts best, he must know what to do .”

"Your servant obeys," Fu Nai lowered his head, then raised his head in a puzzled manner, "Since the master has already obtained the evidence, why don't you directly face him?"

The fourth elder brother shook his head, "This is just a vague reply letter. Even if the so-called 'major event' is mentioned, it is unclear on closer inspection. It is far from enough to say that the evidence is not enough. However, the intention to control the military power in the important areas of Gyeonggi is obvious. Since it involves military and political affairs, it is most suitable for Prince Yu to raise it."

"I understand," Fu Nai bowed, "I will arrange it now."

The fourth elder brother nodded, and when Fu Nai took the order, he sat behind the desk alone, and on the unfolded rice paper, there were a few large characters written, "Everyone expects it".

While the fourth elder brother was looking at the four words in a daze, someone opened the curtain and entered.

The fourth elder brother raised his head, and Su Gonggong pulled his shoes and walked in with his eyes blindfolded, "Master, Wang Qin is here..."

The fourth elder brother bent the corner of his mouth, "It's about time."

Su Wei pursed his lips, he was still a little sleepy, and leaned on Si elder brother with half-closed eyes, just in time to see the four big characters on the table, "Master, this is?"

"It's from that letter," the fourth elder brother rested his pen on the edge of the inkstone, "This is a major event that everyone expects, and you should be able to make an indelible contribution; I'm thinking, how big is Shao Gan's 'respect'?" amount."

Su Wei blinked his eyes, and said suspiciously, "The poetry club in Majia Hutong closed after a few days, and Suo'etu can't raise many people, right?"

The fourth elder brother shook his head, "No one can say for sure, but there is one thing that is very doubtful. Most of the people who come and go in Majia Hutong are middle-level officials like Shao Gan, some are small local officials, and some are even Dai. The body of sin, just like Ekuli who was sent back to Beijing by Suo'etu before, looks like a mob to outsiders."

"The master means," Su Wei broke out in a cold sweat, "the big men Suo'etu really wooed haven't shown their heads yet?"

"It's not that they didn't show their heads," the fourth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, "Isn't there a support? The commander of the infantry, the admiral of the nine gates, the toughest weapon in Huang Ama's hands, but now it is a double-edged weapon. sword."

Wang Qin wandered back to the row room with the food box in his hand, and Ma Lian waited under the big tree early in the morning, "Wang Gonggong, how is it?"

Wang Qin sighed, and handed the food box to Ma Lian, "Sibeile is busy, and we haven't seen anyone at all."

"Then—" Ma Lian frowned, but Wang Qin smiled, "Don't worry, the chief manager, although our family didn't see Brother Si, we have almost inquired about the affairs of the East Courtyard."

Ma Lian wore a melon skin hat, changed into regular clothes, and arrived at the gate just before the key was released in the mansion. When he was about to go out, he was bumped into by Li Han, who was in charge of Ren Donglu, "Boss, what's the matter?" Are you going out?"

Ma Lian was slightly startled, and hurriedly collected his expression, smiled and bowed and said, "Yes, I have something to do at home, I'll go back when it's dark, and come back tomorrow morning."

"It's hard work for the chief executive," Li Han cupped his hands.

"It's not hard work, it's the duty of a slave," Ma Lian grinned, "Brother Li, go and rest, I'm leaving here first."

"Yes, yes," Li Han stepped aside, "It's easy for the manager to leave."

Ma Lian left in a hurry, and Li Han walked toward the row of rooms with a little thought. After walking a few steps, he saw Ku Kui leading two people in casual clothes coming towards him.The two sides nodded and passed by, Li Han turned around and saw a group of three people opened the small door with the porter, and quickly disappeared into the night.

At noon the next day, Prince Yu's Mansion

Zhang Tingshu was summoned urgently, Fuquan was covered with a blanket, leaning on the couch, and there was a letter on the kang table.

"I greet the lord," Zhang Tingshu bowed and saluted.

Fu's complexion turned yellow, and his expression was a little haggard, "Look at this letter, it was sent to the palace early this morning."

"Yes," Zhang Tingshu took the letter, read it, and frowned after a while, "My lord, this—"

Fuquan sighed, "This king has already sent someone to investigate this Shao Gan. After he was dispatched back to Beijing, he had a close relationship with Suo'etu."

"Then what does the prince plan to do?" Zhang Tingshu said in a deep voice, "This matter is no small matter, and Tuo Heqi is the admiral of the nine sects. What he holds in his hands is the safety of the entire capital."

"This king is very clear in his heart." Fuquan sat on the couch with a calm expression, "Do you know who was responsible for the establishment of the duties of the nine admirals?"

Zhang Tingshu thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know, I only know that the first admiral of the nine sects appointed by the Holy Majesty is General Fei Yanggu."

Fuquan curled his lips, "Before Fei Yanggu, there was no post of 'admiral and commander of the nine infantry patrols and five battalions', and the soldiers of the Eight Banners in Beijing and the Central Plains were in charge of their own affairs. After the emperor ascended the throne, the person who really governed the security of the capital was actually the assistant minister. Obai!"

Zhang Tingshu was stunned for a while, and did not speak for a long time. He picked up the letter he was holding tightly in his hand and looked at it again, and said as if thinking of something, "My lord, who sent this letter?"

Fuquan shook his head, "The messenger didn't say anything, but when the concierge turned around, he disappeared."

Zhang Tingshu bit his lower lip, and said with some hesitation, "Then how does the prince plan to report to the Holy One?"

Fuquan closed his eyes slightly, and his voice seemed to be absent, "Suo'etu's plan is determined to be related to the crown prince, but the matter of accumulating the throne has been the trend of the important ministers since the emperor Ama, and the pain of the royal family is deeply understood by the holy majesty .This matter, even if I bring it up, it must be at the most appropriate time."

Zhang Tingshu frowned and thought, before he could answer, Fuquan coughed suddenly.

"My lord!" Zhang Tingshu hurried forward, but was stopped by Fuquan raising his hand.

Prince Yu slowly calmed his breath, sat up straight, and bent the corners of his mouth towards Zhang Tingshu, a trace of bright red around his lips was truly astonishing.

Mingxiang Mansion

Nalan Mingzhu stood in the corridor with her hands behind her back, her eyes slightly closed.

Nalan Kuixu came in a hurry, leaned over to Nalan Mingzhu and said, "Ama, my subordinates have already verified that there was indeed a group of people chasing a few disciples not far from the suburbs of Beijing a few days ago. The servants have inquired many times. The person who lives here is Shao Gan, the left servant who was supervised by the Ministry of War."

"Shao Gan?" Nalan Mingzhu opened his eyes, "It really is Suo'etu..."

"Ama," Nalan Kuixu straightened up, "The news from King Zhijun is too vague. Whether the letter in the hands of the fourth elder brother was entrusted to the nine admirals remains to be considered."

Nalan Mingzhu sighed, "You're right, big brother said that his informants can't get in touch with too much insider news, they only found out a few nonsense words of the person who was shot in a coma, and they can't do it accurately However, the incident with Princess Wen Xian was really strange, and I always felt that something big was going to happen in Beijing. No matter what, you should send someone to watch Tuo Heqi first. This time, we can no longer be passively beaten."

"My son understands, Ama can rest assured," Nalan Kuixu cupped his hands.

Siyefu

In the main room of the East Small Courtyard, the fourth elder brother was staring at Eunuch Su practicing calligraphy. Zhang Bao bowed in, "Master, Wei Jingguo's fever has subsided and his wound has healed. It seems that there is no danger. How will the master plan to arrange him?"

The fourth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his finger and tapped on the place where Eunuch Su wrote the previous stroke. Su Wei pursed his lips and picked up a pen to rewrite it again, "Let him heal his wounds in the mansion first. In a few days, you can go find him." A reliable caravan, send him out of the city. Tell him, as long as he can manage to save his own life, after the peace of Beijing and China, the Lord will allow him to make a fortune."

"Yes," Zhang Baochui took the order, then raised his head and asked again, "What about Dr. Ding?"

The fourth elder brother frowned and thought for a moment, Su Wei tugged at his sleeve, "Let that Doctor Ding stay, I think he has superb medical skills, he is honest, and he never talks too much. Where is the doctor?"

Brother Si curled his lips, "Then let's stay here, tidy up a room for him on East Road, and then send someone to take care of him. He's a doctor after all, so don't neglect him."

"Hey," Zhang Bao bowed to accept the order, and exited the main room.

Suoxiangfu

The weather at the end of November has brought the chill of winter, and the cold frost on the stone slabs has formed small lines.Shao Gan was kneeling in the courtyard naked, with his back straight.

Inside the house, lighted with a touch of sandalwood, Geerfen stood at the window, looking outside from time to time.It's just a letter, maybe it can't move Hesheli, but it's frozen three feet, and now it's on the string.

Suo'etu sat at the desk, dipped in thin ink, and carefully wrote a piece of advice.

Liu Xuan, with winding bamboo patterns, is full of ink, and after rows and columns, there are only four characters at the end, fighting to the death.
