C18 Blindness
Looking at the passersby, Lei Mingsheng led the horse to where no one was and whispered, "Dongfang Bro, I spent two hundred taels of silver to get this news. "Only one of our attackers is from the Long Pan's Guard Station. It's Jin Shazhi, the flag officer, and the others are not from the Imperial Secret Service."
"Oh …" Dongfang Zhongyu was surprised, "Is there such a thing? That... "Who are the others?" I'm not sure, "Lei Mingsheng shook his head and said," No one knows, even Jin Shazhi doesn't seem to know. "
"This is really strange!" Dongfang Zhongyue thought about it and said: "Today, I ran into that man surnamed Qian from the Cao family. I saw him enter a big house. Are you familiar with the place?"
"Hey, we finally found the right person," Lei Mingsheng said happily, "Where is it?" "Fengxian Street." "Oh..." "Why would it be there?" Otherwise, this case is very complicated! "
Dongfang Zhongyu led Lei Mingsheng to Fengxian Street. When he saw the courtyard from afar, he pointed it out to him. With a quick glance, Lei Mingsheng urged him to turn around. Dongfang Zhongyue asked in surprise: "What's wrong, Big Brother Ley, whose mansion is that?"
Lei Mingsheng looked around and said in a low voice, "That's the new mansion of King Zhao, Zhu Gaosui. He thinks the mansion is too small, he heard that it was just installed a few days ago. This is troublesome, could the Iron Vouchers case involve the Third Prince? "
Dongfang Zhongyue saw that he did not answer, and thought that since the traitor of the Cao family and Zhu Gaosui were linked, and there were people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard attacking the two of them, then he was sure that the loss of the Iron Vouchers was a huge conspiracy. And the result of the conspiracy was to deal with Li Jinglong, who would deal with him? Based on the current situation, it was most likely the emperor, Zhu Di.
"This doesn't make sense!" Lei Mingsheng said to himself, "The father of the Cao family's Duke, Li Jinglong, Li Wenzhong, is the nephew of the Ancestor Emperor. Li Wenzhong and the current Emperor is the brother of an uncle. Li Jinglong opened the Jin Chuan Gate to welcome Chengzu Emperor into the capital and made a great contribution. Do we still have to deal with him …?"
Dongfang Zhong shook his head and said, "You can guess what's going on even if the matter is set here. "Big Brother Ley, to tell you the truth, I have something important to do in the capital, so I can't keep investigating this case with you. I have to save my life to handle my own matters."
Wu Tie nodded, "Dongfang Bro, I understand that I don't want to die! I went back to report the truth to Shangguan. I don't care what I do, I'll admit it even if you send me to prison. I won't say any more words of thanks. In the future, if you need any help, just say so. I, Lei Mingsheng, won't consider myself to be frowning! "
Dongfang Zhongyue thought it would be nice to have such a friend, but he couldn't say when or what he would need. The two of them walked out of Fengxian Street, the sun was already setting. Lei Mingsheng said he would treat him to a meal, and Dongfang Zhongyue said: "If you want to eat, I will treat you. How much can you earn per month? In order to investigate the Iron Vouchers case, you added quite a few yourself, right? "
Lei Mingsheng smiled wryly as he shook his head, saying that no matter what, he was not lacking in money for a meal. Dongfang Zhongyu casually took out a hundred silver and handed it over, but Lei Mingsheng refused to accept it. Dongfang Zhongyu said: "Big Brother Ley, take it since you think I'm a brother. If it's foreign, then we're not brothers!" Only then did Lei Mingsheng accept it.
The two of them were passing by a tall wall when they heard a loud bang. They turned around to see a teenage boy straightening his back and walking in the other direction. Lei Mingsheng looked up, "There's no door nearby …" That's not right! Stop, don't go! " He circled back to chase the teenager.
It was obvious that the teenager had jumped over the wall, so it was either stealing or stealing. The constable of Ying Tian Palace was the one in charge. However, the youth didn't run. Instead, he stopped and looked at him with a calm expression. "What are you doing?" Lei Mingsheng blocked his way, then asked: "Who are you? Why did you jump out of the wall? "
The youth sized him up and disdainfully said, "I like jumping off walls. Who are you? Can you control me?" "I am a constable of Ying Tian Prefecture's yamen. I specialize in catching thieves." Lei Mingsheng raised his voice, "Quickly tell me, otherwise, I'll bring you back to the yamen!"
When Zhong Yu saw the young man holding onto a yellow bamboo pole that was neither yellow nor green, he had an idea. He led his horse and slowly approached. The young man poked the bamboo pole into the ground and suddenly unbuttoned his shirt, "You want to catch a constable just like that? Catch them red-handed, what do I have on me? " At this time of the day, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. The youngster was wearing a close-fitting shirt, and as expected, there was nothing inside.
Lei Mingsheng was puzzled. "If it wasn't a Thief, why didn't you go through the door?" Jumping off the wall is near enough, so I'm willing to walk like this, do you mind? " The young man replied, tied his belt, took the bamboo pole and left. Lei Mingsheng was stopped by Dongfang Zhongyue, "Big Brother Ley, since he isn't a Thief, let him go!" Lei Mingsheng was not in a good mood, so he didn't pay any more attention to him.
"The two of them talked about where to go to eat and walked forward. As they walked out of the alley, they bumped into Wang Zhenqing and Li Zhuangxian." "Hey …" Li Zhuangxian said angrily: "Brother Dongfang, didn't you say you were going to relieve the problem? "Why did you run away along the urethra?"
Dongfang Zhongyu knew he was in the wrong and saluted with his hands, saying that he had urgent matters to attend to and that he had no choice but to do so. Only after Wang Zhenqing tried to persuade him did Li Zhuangxian give up. Dongfang Zhongyue saw that there were several family members behind the two, he carried a lot of gift boxes and asked curiously: "Brothers, who has the face to receive gifts from you both at the same time?"
Wang Zhenqing answered, "My aunt Princess Nankang has just returned to the capital from the East China Sea. Zhuang Xian and I are here to visit on behalf of our mothers." Dongfang Zhongyue tilted his head to the side and took a glance at it. He saw that there was a plaque hanging above the entrance of the mansion, "You two, quickly go! I'll buy you two tea another day when I'm free. "
"You can't drink tea here. You have to set up a table in the best restaurant, otherwise you won't be able to make up for your sins today!" Li Zhuangxian said half-truthfully. Zhong Yue from the East said his farewells and bid farewell to the two of them.
Just as a few people walked out of Hou Mansion in the East Sea, a handsome young man walked in front of them. He glanced over and immediately said loudly, "Chastity Qing, Zhuang Xian, you are here as well …" Young Master Dongfang, take care! " Dongfang Zhongyu cursed his misfortune in his heart, and had no choice but to jump down from the horse to pay his respects, "Long live Zhao Wang."
Wu Junjian walked over and said to Wang Zhenqing and Meng Chaoran, "Imperial Father asked me to come and see Aunt Eleven. I didn't expect you two to be so well-informed. Go in quickly!" He turned around and said to Dongfang Zhongyue: "Young Master Dongfang, why did you leave so early after the competition? Are you trying to hide from me? "
"No, no …" It was obviously true, but he couldn't speak the truth right now! Dongfang Zhongyu casually said, "Brother Chenqing had invited a few people to make poetry and drink with him, so it was a little early for him to make such an appointment."
"Hur hur, Young Master Dongfang's words are not true!" Zhu Gaosui pointed with a smile. "Could it be that you guys have made an appointment with the Courtesan Belle Han Yancui to compose a poem …?" "Haha …" For a time, Dongfang Zhong became even more embarrassed. He thought about how the man surnamed Qian was very familiar with Feng GuiLou and was related to him, then Zhu Gaosui and Feng Guixiu should be related as well. He secretly cursed himself for being stupid.
Dongfang Zhongyue reluctantly said: "Brother Zhuang Xian was the one who took over, I also..." "It's not good to ask." It's fine, it's fine, "Zhu Gaosui's face didn't show any anger. He smiled and said," My cousin did you a favor, what did Young Master Dongfang say about me doing something tonight? "
The conversation had come to this, and Dongfang Zhongyue didn't want to offend him, so he could only smile and say: "King Zhao thinks so highly of me, truly an honor, how could I dare disobey?" "Alright, alright, let's go now!" Zhu Gaosui signaled the man to lead the horse, and told Dongfang Zhongyue to ride with him.
Lei Mingsheng was treated as nothing, so he could only wave his hand towards the east, then leave on his own …
In the days to come, Zhongyu of the East had already found out that Zhu Di, the late emperor of Chengzu, was not satisfied with his eldest son even though he had made his eldest son, Zhu Gaohui, Crown Prince; the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxi, and the King of Zhao, Zhu Gaolin, thought they could take advantage of the situation and wanted to take Zhu from their position as Crown Prince and replace him.
However, Zhu Gaoxi and Zhu Gaosui fought to win over Baili Qingcang. They saw his omniscient ability and wanted to recruit him for their own use. Why was Baili Qingcang so stubborn and unmoved? It was only because of this that he was able to pull Zhong Yu into his alliance with Dongfang Jingyue …
Zhu Gaosui and the group headed straight towards the north, probably towards the old mansion outside of Bei An's mansion. Dongfang Zhong was talking to him nonchalantly, but he was wondering why he didn't go to the new house on Fengxian Street. Was there really no one living there? Then why did the man named Qian go there …
When he arrived at the Wu Steel Manor outside Bei An's mansion, the sky was already dark. Four large wind lamps were lit at the entrance, lighting up the entire place with bright, snow-white lights. Dongfang Zhongyu noticed that there were 20-30 horses tied to the stake, but he didn't know who Zhu Gaosui had hired.
After tying the horses, Zhu Gaosui pulled him inside. The eastern courtyard wasn't small at all. It was at least fifty steps long, and the main hall on the first floor was dark. Everyone directly entered the second courtyard.
The second courtyard was more spacious. A dozen or so lanterns were lit, as bright as day. In the middle of the courtyard, there were four square tables filled with people. Yu was slightly surprised as he did not expect so many people to be present. It was even more surprising to observe the guests, because these people did not look like officials, but rather like martial artists.
Seeing Zhu Gaosui walk in, everyone stood up to greet him. Zhu Gaosui smiled and nodded, "Everyone is here. I would like to introduce to everyone a good friend — — Dongfang Zhongyu, fourth on the list of the young masters of the Pavilion of Ascending Mist, seventh on the Martial Arts Ranking."
Dongfang Zhong was secretly laughing in his heart, 'Could it be that I'll become your person after eating your meal?' He cupped his hands and kept saying that he had heard a lot about them. As for who they had been seeing for a long time, they all knew it.
After a round of pleasantries, Zhu Gaosui led him into the hall. It turned out that the guests of today were of both nobility and inferiority. The guests in the courtyard were ordinary guests, and there were a few other distinguished guests in the hall. Dongfang Zhongyu was stunned for a moment as soon as he stepped through the door. There was actually a woman among the distinguished guests. She was the new recruit of the day, wuxiaozhuan Zhang Yujing.
Zhang Yujing saw the surprise in his eyes and looked away. Zhu Gao pointed at Fatty Bai and said, "This is Master Pang Ying, an official of the Imperial Secret Service …" He is the commander of the Changshan Guards, and you've met him... You have also seen the martial arts champion, Zhang Yujing. "
Dongfang Zhongyue still cupped his fists and said that he had heard a lot. Pang Ying was very fat, and every part of her body was round. She even had a pair of small round eyes. It looked quite comical. Pang Ying looked at him for a while and suddenly said: "The moment the Divine Arm Workshop, its name will move the capital ah! Heh heh … and pushed me down from the Smoke Rankings! "
Dongfang Zhongyue was still wondering if he was Pang Ying, who was ranked tenth on the original list. Now that he was confirmed, he was even more surprised. Was the Pavilion of Ascending Mist mistaken?
Zhu Gaosui laughed, "mega-man, you have to know that the strong have their own strengths! In the martial arts world, who knew how many experts who could remain hidden and not make it onto the leaderboard? "It's a very normal thing." "Yes, King Zhao is right." Dongfang Zhongyu took the opportunity to say: "I just started learning first hand, how can I compare to mega-man? The Pavilion of Ascending Mist must have made a mistake.
Just as he finished his sentence, someone in the yard said, "I think so too. Otherwise, how could so many experts suddenly appear! Take you for example, how could you be ranked seventh after ten or eight years of training at the most? " Hearing this, Dong Fang Zhong Yue's heart was set ablaze, he couldn't help but look towards the courtyard …
