Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 378 see
Shen Xinniang's eyes widened, waiting to hear Fang Yan's next words, but Fang Yan's voice stopped abruptly.She waited for a while, but he still didn't come out with an answer. Shen Xinniang couldn't help being a little annoyed. She got up suddenly and walked inside, "I won't ask any more, and you don't want to say anything. I'll show you my son. You have a dull look on your face." , I wanted to explain you, but it seems that you don't need it, so that's all."

Fang Yan got up quickly, grabbed her hand, and said suddenly, "It's Xiang Cai."

In a word, the sudden and quiet needle drop can be heard in the main room.Shen Xinniang felt that her six senses were too sharp, in this eerie silence, she seemed to hear her beating heart.

"No, that's impossible." Shen Xiniang shook her head and said firmly, "It must be a mistake."

She has been to Cai Xiang's house and met the female family members of Cai Xiang's family. Although she has not seen Cai Xiang himself, she has feelings in her heart.Cai Xiang was a person who was relied on by the late emperor. He had always enjoyed a high reputation in Daliang, and his students were all over the court.

"You also think it's impossible?" Fang Yan raised his eyes and looked at her fixedly, his eyes were as deep and bright as stars in a dark night.

Shen Xinniang nodded again and again, "Yes, it must be that the peregrine falcon flew to the wrong place. After all, it was injured before, so it is possible that it could not figure out the direction and the wrong direction. It must be a misunderstanding!"

"I don't believe it either." Fang Yan closed his eyes, "So I took the risk to sneak in with the peregrine falcon. I saw with my own eyes that Cai Xiang took off the secret letter from the peregrine falcon's leg with ease. I saw it with my own eyes, Xin'er, Do you know? At that time, I couldn’t even believe my eyes. If it was General Xie, I would have believed it, but Cai Xiang... never thought of it. The so-called people should not be judged by their appearance, the ancients never deceived me.”

Shen Xinniang was still immersed in shock, unable to recover for a while.She shook her head subconsciously, how could it be possible?How could it be Cai Xiang?

"Cai Xiang is already very old. What good will it do him? He is a civil servant, and he can't wield a knife and a gun. Doesn't it mean that civil servants know how to be considerate of people's livelihood? Can't he see that if he continues to fight like this, The impact on the people in the frontier, on the people in Daliang? Impossible, the hustle and bustle is all for profit, why would he do something that is not good for him?" Shen Xinniang looked at Fang Yan, puzzled on the faces of the two , and there is no difference.

The reason why neither of them thought of Cai Xiang was because whether or not this matter was accomplished, it seemed that it would not be of any benefit to Cai Xiang.

Cai Xiang already holds a high position and is old. As long as there are no major mistakes, he will stay in the position until his death.And his reputation has always been very good, his students are all over the court, and his status can be said to be unshakable.Under such circumstances, he collaborated with the enemy?This is completely incomprehensible, and it is even more impossible to figure out what kind of consideration he has.

"I don't understand, I can't figure out what kind of thoughts he did this kind of thing, but I have to believe my eyes and what I see. Now that I know it's Cai Xiang, this matter, You must be on guard against him." Fang Yanqiang cheered up and said calmly.

Shen Xinniang frowned and shook her head, "Perhaps, it's not what we thought? Didn't we understand the contents of the note? Maybe the note was not information about collaborating with the enemy? Perhaps, from the very beginning, we guessed Wrong? Is this just an ordinary correspondence?"

Fang Yan smiled wryly, and raised his hand to touch Shen Xinniang's hair, "Is Xin'er deceiving herself? Ordinary correspondence, do you need to send it with a peregrine falcon that has always been difficult to tame? And the seal is so strict, with a Turkic The text of the text, not the text of the beam?"

She really couldn't convince herself of this, but she still didn't believe that Prime Minister Cai was a collaborator.

"Now we still have to find out what was written on the note." Shen Xinniang said slowly.

Fang Yan nodded, but his brows were deeply frowned, "Mostly Dahong Luqing is closely related to Cai Xiang. Although he is not a student of his teaching, he is born in the imperial examinations he held. Everyone calls him Mr. I respect him very much. Don't let Xiang Cai know about this matter."

Shen Xinniang hummed.

"Except for Dahong Luqing, who knows Turkic characters?" Fang Yan seemed to be trying hard to remember.

Shen Xinniang suddenly said: "Maybe there is someone who is the most suitable person to unravel the contents of this note."

Fang Yan looked at her suspiciously, "Who?"

Shen Xinniang called Jin Xiang and ordered her to invite the Hu merchant who bought cloth to come to her house as a guest tomorrow.

Jin Xiang was taken aback for a moment, "Does my lady want to see him? Because he bought dozens of spring grasses?" Spring grasses are very expensive, and the purchase restriction keeps the value of spring grasses at a high level. Hu merchants want to buy dozens of horses , but he didn't say a word about lowering the price, so does the lady want to see him?This seems to make sense?

Shen Xinniang shook her head, raised her foot to approach Jin Xiang, and said in a very solemn tone: "It's the prince who wants to see him, so you must invite him."

Hearing this tone, Jin Xiang immediately understood that things might not be as simple as she thought.She quickly nodded in response, and immediately went to ask the guards of the palace to ask the Hu merchant's whereabouts.

The guards of the palace have been staring at Hu Shang and his party from afar.Jin Xiang learned from them that this Hu merchant would eat at Yuelai restaurant at noon every day.The location is set early in the morning, and it is always in the lobby, never entering the private room on the second floor.This habit of eating is very strange.

Early the next morning, Jin Xiang was waiting in the Yuelai restaurant.

As soon as noon arrived, I saw the eye-catching Hu Shang and his party taking a seat at the seat reserved early in the morning. The entourage around him seemed to be scattered around unintentionally, but it is not difficult for anyone who understands to see that they are guarding carefully Well, any gaps around Hu Shang that may have emergencies seem to be loose, but in fact they protect him tightly.

Jin Xiang straightened her clothes and stepped forward.

Before he got close to the Hu Shang, he was blocked by Hu Shang's entourage.

"I'm from Yunxiang Cloth, and I have dealt with your master before. I have something to discuss with your master about the new spinning of spring grass that your master wants to buy!" Jin Xiang said with a smile.

The follower had a straight face, showing no intention of moving away.

The Yuelai restaurant was only just at noon time, but it was already full of guests, talking one after another, and it was very lively.That Hu Shang didn't know what he was listening to, but he didn't seem to notice Jin Xiang who was blocked by his followers.

The entourage had a stern face and looked awkward, which made Jin Xiang very helpless, "If you don't believe me, you can ask your master, he must recognize me!"

The entourage shook his head, "My master is gone, don't get close!"

"How do you know that he doesn't want to see me? You can only find out after asking? If he doesn't see you, I want him to tell me, can you make the decision?" Jin Xiang frowned.

The attendant just shook his head, "My master didn't say he wanted to see you, but if you come to the door on your own initiative, then you won't be able to see me."

"Hey, you, why don't you make sense?!" Jin Xiang pinched her waist.

The attendant looked invulnerable, Jin Xiang cleared her throat, and was about to call that Hu Shang.After clearing his throat, he remembered that he didn't know what that Hu merchant's name was.The people who eat in this lobby are all gentlemen!Call Hu Shang?That would be disrespectful.

Jin Xiang stomped her feet, raised her head and gave the follower a hard look.

The entourage snorted softly, "Lady please!" He invited her aside, but he was not allowed to approach the Hu merchant.

Jin Xiang shook his head, that Hu merchant Daliang spoke very well, but the attendants around him were blunt and unpleasant.Jin Xiang knew that it was useless to grind his mouth, so he turned and took two steps away, taking advantage of the unguarded entourage, he immediately turned his feet, trying to bypass the entourage and get closer to the Hu merchant.

But her skill was not as good as Hu Shang's entourage, and they blocked her by raising their hands.

"My lady is so enthusiastic?" The entourage chuckled, and Jin Xiang almost ran into his arms, "There are people coming and going here, my lady, don't rely on me!"

"Bah! Have your big dream!" Jin Xiang yelled.

Quite a few people were curious about the movement here, but Hu Shang didn't know whether he really didn't hear it, or pretended not to hear it, and he didn't even look this way from the corner of his eye.

Jin Xiang clenched her fists angrily, and the lady said, if she wants to invite Hu Shang to the house, she must invite it.She can't just give up like this!
Jin Xiang glanced at the attendant sideways, snorted, and walked towards the back hall.

Fortunately, Yuelai Restaurant is a lady's place, and Shopkeeper Sun is very familiar with her, so she asked the waiter to find Shopkeeper Sun, and whispered to Shopkeeper Sun.Shopkeeper Sun could only reluctantly nod in agreement.

After a while, the food ordered by Hu Shang was brought to the table by the waiter.One of the mistresses was exceptionally slender, with a slightly thinner back, and a more feminine walking posture, not as carefree as ordinary mistresses.

The little boy followed behind others, with his head lowered, and when he was about to get close to Hu Shang's table, he was grabbed by Hu Shang's attendants, "Okay, give me the plate, you back away!"

"Xiao Er" was so annoyed that he gritted his teeth, and said with restraint: "This dish is our restaurant's signature dish, I have to introduce it to a few guest officers..."

"Or you?!" The attendant recognized Jin Xiang from the voice. "You little girl, are you thick-skinned enough? Can't you drive me away?"

Jin Xiang was embarrassed when she heard the words, her face became hot.

The Hu businessman who was sitting behind the food table just raised his head and looked towards Jinxiang, as if he had just discovered Jinxiang, "Hey, isn't this the lady from Yunxiang cloth shop? Why did you come to Yuelai to eat?" Is Si here to be a mistress? A helper?"

Helper size!You are the helper!Your whole family is a helper!Jin Xiang cursed loudly in her heart, but with a forced smile on her face, she nodded at Hu Shang, "I'm here to see Mr. Lang, I never thought that Mr. Lang is so difficult to see!"
