Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 385 Mr. Jin

Pan Jiaming also completely recalled the situation at that time. Although he did not remember the portrait that he had seen eight or nine years ago so clearly, he believed in Xiao Feng's superhuman memory, especially his memory of human faces.

"So," Pan Jiaming narrowed his eyes, "Zhuoma is probably the sister of Concubine Li and the wife of the mighty General Zhao Jiangong? Her age is right."

"It must be," Xiao Feng affirmed, "unless there is someone else in the world who looks so similar to the first concubine, including that mole." How is it possible?

Pan Jiaming continued his analysis: "The palace of the Ming Dynasty has already been ransacked, and the deposed prince has been imprisoned in the cold palace. If Zhuoma is really Mrs. Zhao, why did she use Princess Thea's cover to return to Da Ying and the capital? She is still deliberately planning Did she enter the British Duke's Palace to use the Queen and the British Duke's Palace to avenge her Yang family?

Also, this Zhao Yang family is also a mystery. She and Concubine Li went to incense together and were trapped together. Later, the concubine died and she disappeared. No one knows whether she died or ran away.If she ran away, where could a pregnant woman who was about to give birth go?What to live on?He couldn't even attend General Zhao's funeral. "

Xiao Feng curled his lips: "Not only Zhao Yang, but General Zhao's death is also full of mysteries. Such a brave general was actually shot in the back by a poisonous arrow when he had already won a complete victory and was driving away the remaining soldiers. It's too suspicious. Come on!" Zhao Jiangong is a commander-in-chief, not a soldier. He can't be at the forefront, and he won't be without personal guards around him. Where did that cold arrow come from?

Because Pan Rubing had worked under Zhao Jiangong for three years and regarded Zhao Jiangong as his teacher and brother. He was always worried about Zhao Jiangong's death and had always had doubts about it. He once talked about it while drinking with his colleagues, and was later dismissed by Pan Jiaming and Xiao Feng. The child heard it.

In recent years, they also investigated some things about the Zhao family when secretly investigating old affairs, because they also suspected that Pan Rubing's death might be related to his investigation into the cause of Zhao Jiangong's death.

Pan Jiaming nodded: "Exactly, if Zhuoma is really Mrs. Zhao, she has been hiding outside for 20 years, and now she comes back incognito. There must be a purpose. If there is a purpose, there will be actions, and if there are actions, the trap will be exposed. Let's just watch." Before leaving Beijing, he ordered his people to keep an eye on Princess Thea and Zhuoma. This was one of the most important reasons why he was willing to give face to the big house and let Pan Jiajin and Thea live in Yuntaoyuan.

"Speaking of Zen Heart Master," Xiao Feng suddenly thought of a question, "It is said that the emperor's ability to become the crown prince and the prophecy that Concubine Li's son will be destined to be his destiny are all related to Zen Heart Master?"

"This statement is true." Because of the empress, Pan Jiaming was still very concerned about some secrets in the palace and knew more about it. "When Concubine Li was pregnant, the Qintian Supervisor once calculated that this star was extraordinary, but it would be difficult to destroy it. After testing, Master Zenxin directly gave the comment: It is destiny. I am afraid this is also the reason why the deposed prince has one life left despite the conclusive evidence of his crime. The emperor puts the deposed prince under house arrest and does not allow anyone to approach him, but there is a dedicated person in charge of the food in the cold palace, right? "

Xiao Feng was shocked: "What do you mean...?" The two had never discussed such issues before, but the high degree of tacit understanding between them allowed Xiao Feng to instantly understand the meaning of Pan Jiaming's words.

Pan Jiaming raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise? Do you think he can still survive until now? Wouldn't that person want to eradicate the root cause?" It is too easy for people under house arrest in the cold palace to "commit suicide"!It is also the least likely to make people suspicious.The prince is obscure, sinister, ruthless, and his ambition is greater than his wisdom. Therefore, his approach is usually to hold back and not speak out. Once he makes a move, he never leaves any leeway, let alone the slightest chance for the other party. He is a bit of a benevolent person who does not succeed. mean.

Also, since he was named on the gold list, he has had several contacts with the prince. Such a person is definitely not someone who will stop at nothing and be soft on the deposed prince.

Xiao Feng's mind was racing: "So after he came to power, he was still restless and did so many things secretly. He also thought that the emperor didn't like him and was afraid of long nights and dreams?" Money... It is no exaggeration to describe the prince's faction as jumping up and down.

"Isn't he responsible for the Liangjiang salt tax?" Xiao Feng suddenly thought of the case they were busy with. Besides the prince, who else could make Dai Pinchao and Wang Wenshan risk the fate of their entire family to follow him?If the team is successful, people will look forward to their future achievements in following the dragon, but if they are not careful, the whole clan may lose their heads.

Pan Jiaming shook his head: "I'm not sure." Maybe he was paranoid, but over the past few years, combined with the various intelligence at hand, he always felt that there seemed to be a hand behind the prince's back controlling the situation, including everything the prince did. .For example, judging from the unclear evidence currently available, there are traces of the Qi family and even the Xie family of the Jingning Marquis Mansion in his father's so-called "accidental fall from a horse". However, there seems to be no connection between what these two families did. There was no necessary connection, so he said the evidence was unclear.Unless someone is behind the scenes, many coincidences can be linked together.

Looking at Pan Jiaming's expression, Xiao Feng knew what Pan Jiaming had thought of, and he felt sad. They checked for a long time and found that there was no one named "Mr. Yu" or "Mr. Yu" or "Mr. Yu" around Concubine Qi or the Crown Prince. People, and that "Mr. Jade" seems to have been lurking in the past two years, rarely making any moves.

Previously, when Eagle Guard followed Pan Ruye, they found a contact person wearing a mask. Unfortunately, that person was extremely cunning, and he didn't know if he found someone following him, so he went deep into the mountains, and then disappeared without a trace.Moreover, according to Eagle Guard's description, the masked man seemed to be very young and strong, and his height and shape did not match the "Mr. Jade" Pan Jiaming saw from a distance.

"Don't worry," Pan Jiaming broke the depressing silence, "Didn't another uncle Jin appear in the letter Wang Wentong wrote to Wang Wenshan? If I guessed correctly, the jade we were looking for before The gentleman must have something to do with this Uncle Jin. Jin and Yu are just their code names. So, we now have one more clue. Let’s start with the Wang family to find Uncle Jin, and then see if we can use gold to attract jade, haha. "

This emperor is not an incompetent and ignorant king. Under his eyes, in addition to the prince, there can be a black hand who plays "gold" and "jade". Perhaps even the prince is unknowingly controlled by the black hand. He does not believe that there can be another one. There is also a person who can control the court officials and turn everything upside down. "What you said is correct," Xiao Feng glanced sideways at Pan Jiaming, "But you forgot, you don't have to wait for the capital to track you. Isn't Commander Jin coming to your door? Uncle Jin, Mr. Jin, Commander Jin, They happen to be very important-sounding characters. If nothing else, they should be the same person!" The three letters collected by Wu Minjun contained the titles Mr. Jin and Uncle Jin, while the title "Mr. Jin" and "Uncle Jin" appeared in Se Chaizi's words. Commander.

Pan Jiaming smiled evilly: "Okay, let's brace ourselves first to deal with this Mr. Jin..." Mr. Yu was hard to find for the time being. Since Mr. Jin came to the door first, they naturally had to prepare for Weng Zhong to catch him. It's time for the turtle to show his real claws to others.

In the past few years, he pretended to be a loser and a playboy because he was young. In order to relax the vigilance of enemies inside and outside the house, he quietly did what he should do and learned the skills he should learn. But if he continues to act like a loser now, he is afraid that going too far is not enough, which will not be conducive to success.It was obvious that Wu Minjun had not given anything to him before because he must have been frightened by his reputation as the number one playboy.Also, who can safely entrust something that is more important than life to a loser?
When Pan Jiaming and Xiao Feng were discussing happily and sadly about catching a turtle in an urn, one person in two different places thousands of miles apart in Da Ying suddenly shivered without warning.

First of all, Mr. Jin with a mustache who was relatively close to Changyang was on his way when he suddenly felt a gust of wind. He looked around strangely and saw that there was no wind at all. He sighed secretly: Walking on this mountain trail is not as good as the official road. Comfortable.Not only was the road difficult to walk, it was also eerie.

"Hurry up, hurry up," he urged the six people behind him who were carrying the boxes. Two people carried it, and there were a total of three boxes, all of which were real money. "Be careful. We will go to *** when the arrangements are ready." Drink wine and eat abalone and sea cucumber.”

"Uncle Jin," a young man who looked like a bookkeeper next to Uncle Jin couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say that Pan Shizi is still in Changyang? Why are you so anxious to send things over? What if..." Apart from these three boxes, and three more boxes have arrived in the city. A total of six boxes have to be put into the warehouse quietly. For some reason, he always felt that his heart was beating abnormally when he woke up early this morning, as if something bad was about to happen.Speaking of which, walking in the woods was really not good. He was clearly on his way, but he felt chilly.

"There is no such thing as a contingency," Uncle Jin scolded. "The Lord's decision certainly has its own reasons. Whether it is an imperial envoy or a spy, didn't they all evacuate from Changyang City just a few years ago? Changyang is the safest place now. ." The lord has lost a lot of needed people, and now he has a lot to do and not enough manpower, so he can only concentrate as much as possible.

"As for that Pan Jiaming," Uncle Jin did not hide his disdain, "he is just a waste, so what if we pass by him? But so is that Wang Wenshan, what are you doing with such a dandy prince? There is a queen there, It's not that easy to get married to a British prince, it's a waste of time." Dai Pinchao sent a message to him very dissatisfied, saying that if Wang Wenshan hadn't been bent on plotting against Pan Jiaming, the dandy prince would have left Changyang long ago.Although Pan Jiaming is not something to be afraid of, Xiao Feng still has to be on guard, right?In short, I will be more passive in doing things.

The young man said sarcastically: "But Mr. Yu said that it's okay to be careful." It's only a day or two away. Can't we wait until Prince Pan is gone before taking action?
What he didn't expect was that it would be okay if he didn't mention Mr. Yu, whom he admired. When he mentioned Mr. Yu, Uncle Jin's face turned even more ugly, and his tone became more firm and could not be refuted, "It is necessary to be cautious, but if you are too cautious, you will not want anything It’s done. Those of you who sit in your room all day long and talk on paper are just as courageous as the eye of a needle, so you do things with trepidation.”

Jade is just able to guess the lord's thoughts and is more and more valued by the lord.He used to think that Yu was resourceful and could do calculations, but over time he discovered that Yu was not always accurate and was just pretending.

Moreover, the lord has now promoted him and made him responsible for external affairs. He has taken over many matters that were previously handled by Yu. He can also directly dispatch secret spies. He can no longer be regarded as Yu's subordinate. Even if he cannot surpass Yu at the moment, at least He can be regarded as the right-hand man of the same lord. He really doesn't like people to use Yu's words to pressure him again.

The young man was inexplicably scolded and felt aggrieved secretly. Uncle Jin had always respected Mr. Yu. Wasn't Mr. Yu's words what Uncle Jin had said to them before?How else would he know?He hasn't had a chance to go to Beijing to meet Mr. Yu yet.

Uncle Jin urged a few more words and ignored the young man. He was planning other things by himself. He was anxious to finish the things here quickly and rushed to Jiangzhou and Guanghai. There were more important things over there. Wait for him.

In a dilapidated temple in Kaicheng in the north, Mr. Jin, dressed as another old monk, was closing his eyes to meditate. After being awakened by a sudden chill, he opened his eyes and recited a Buddhist chant: "Amitabha, bless you. Peace be with the Lord.”

Not long after, a 20-year-old monk came back with an alms bowl: "Master, let's eat first. I met someone having a banquet and got a big bowl of noodles, which was still warm." As he spoke, he looked at the Buddha statue. He took out two small porcelain bowls and chopsticks from the next bundle, filled them with noodles, and first brought a bowl to his master.

The old monk picked up the noodles, but did not start eating immediately: "Is there still no news?" Looking at Kaiping's appearance, he must have not found out the whereabouts of the young master, otherwise he would have said it as soon as he rushed in, and he would not have cared about whether it was hot or not. .After getting a clue this morning, Kaiping rushed to the slave market. Unexpectedly, his joy was in vain again.Also, he suddenly shivered just now, wasn't it a bad omen?
Kaiping replied: "I did find the boss named Liao. He also remembered that he dealt with a man who was stupid and silent and looked like a young master in terms of age and height, but..."

"But what?" The old monk was so excited that he almost spilled his noodles. He put the bowl directly on the ground and looked at Kaiping eagerly, "Didn't you ask him where he sold it? What kind of person was the buyer? Where did he go? Where to go? I asked Kaiping what happened to you today. We have been searching all the way. Is it easy to finally find clues? It is difficult to find for sure, but now we have clues. It is better than looking for a needle in a haystack without any clues before. You are I'm getting impatient again."

The look on Kaiping's face probably means that the boss named Liao doesn't want to say or doesn't remember the buyer.It doesn't matter, the market is so big, there are always people seeing it, and asking everyone, he doesn't believe that there are no clues.They came all the way from the northwest. Isn't that what they asked?

Kaiping felt aggrieved: "Boss Liao said it was a year and a half ago. How could he remember it? He only remembers that a young man bought it."
