Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 741 Zhang Qiyuan's Secret Investigation
"There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Wu Shu dare not do everything. I will handle it myself." Wang Xiu didn't panic at all, and he didn't want Zhu Lian to worry.

"It's up to you, and I don't want to ask too much, but over there in Hebei, do you really agree with them taking risks?" Zhu Lian moved away from his thoughts and began to care about the situation in the north.

"Risks and opportunities are equal. Counterattacking Hedong is an opportunity to force out the captives' trump cards. So what if they are defeated?" Wang Xiu said calmly, but his eyes seemed particularly strange.

"Official?" Zhu Lian looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, and suddenly saw a lot of things from that wicked smile, but they could be summed up in six words, "one hundred benefits and no harm".

That night, in Zhang Qiyuan's mansion, this fellow was sitting on a high-backed chair in the study, drinking a glass of fine wine, and quietly listening to Chen Jiu's report.

"Are you absolutely sure?"

"My lord, what kind of person am I, Chen Jiu? I can be regarded as messing around on the ground. Although I have been talking about these things for many years, I can still find clues." Chen Jiu curled his lips, as if he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Qiyuan's attitude, and looked at him greedily. Looking at the fine wine, it is a treasure in terms of color!
"Well, it makes sense to say so. However, these are trivial matters. Is there anything else that deserves special attention?" Zhang Qiyuan was a little embarrassed. Chen Jiu had inquired about a lot of news, and there were always more than ten years of gossip. news, but it was too far away from his hope, and it was almost impossible to confirm his conjecture.

This guy has been on the ground in Jiangning for several years, so he should be considered a well-informed person, and he seems to be a little disappointed.

"What else?" Chen Jiu seemed to be thinking, and seemed to be talking to himself naturally: "It's nothing special, it seems that there are rumors outside that Wang Xianggong's wife and a common wife seem to be hiding in the golden house, um, There are still two or three charming young ladies who live in seclusion and are not known to outsiders."

"He, Wang Dalang, has always been in trouble, so what if he hides a few young ladies, why are you asking about these crap things? What I want is his shortcoming."

Zhang Qiyuan's eyelids twitched, and he stared at Chen Jiu with a toothache.Man!Especially for the men who came in and out of the generals and are in their prime, how many of them don't have three wives and four concubines?Even Li Gang took four concubines.To put it bluntly, on the surface, Wang Xiu had one wife and one concubine, and she only hid a few concubines. It was no big deal. Even if Shilin knew about it, it was just the Lion Roaring at home.

Chen Jiu pursed his lips, and said in an unhappy tone: "My lord, my villain once saw Xu Zhong and her wife go in and out of the other courtyard, and Li Caiwei from the Wang family. If you say that those few are very important people in the Wang family, Wang Xianggong wants To hide a few young ladies, they must be upright, or they must be hidden, then Li Caiwei is someone close to the Wang family's wife."

"Oh, there is some truth in what you said. Could it be that Wang Dalang has a ghost?" Zhang Qiyuan couldn't help being suspicious. Although Chen Jiu was talking nonsense, what this guy said was good.

With Wang Xiu's status, even if he no longer accepts concubines, buying a few concubines is not the same as drinking water, even if he doesn't want to provoke Youqin and Mo Yan is unhappy, and secretly hides and sets up another courtyard outside, he doesn't have to leave the door. The door is not moving!

What's more, Li Caiwei is someone close to Youqin Mo Yan. Does it mean that Youqin and Mo Yan know that she knows?It doesn't make sense left and right!

It seems that I am looking for one truth, but grasping the clues of another matter, maybe I can find Wang Xiu's tail, thinking about it is a burst of excitement.

"My lord, is it possible to start from Fengle Building?" Chen Jiu said in a serious tone, Wen Xijun's place is where news gathers, and there may be some gains.

Zhang Qiyuan shook his head, and said lightly: "Okay, you go to inquire again, don't worry about the price, just go to the cashier to get it if you have something to do, and you don't need to tell me."

Chen Jiu's eyes lit up, Baiguan!You don't even need to tell Zhang Qiyuan, you've made a fortune!It is impossible for him to withdraw money frequently, a few times is enough for him to eat, drink and have fun.

Yuyang Palace

Of course Wang Xiu couldn't stay in the imperial palace, and under the support of Qing Jun and Zhang Quan, she left the palace through a secret passage.

Zhang Quan sent Wang Xiu away, and he was relaxed every time. Nima, the prime minister and the empress dowager have been talking about important military affairs at night, and it's not been a day or two.He has a good head, and he hasn't tasted all the delicacies in the world yet!

He came back with a sigh of relief, saw that Qing Jun was still waiting for him, and said politely: "Shang Gong, Mr. Xiang is gone."

Qingjun's face was very calm, he nodded lightly and said: "Today, Mr. Xiang came too suddenly. It's a pity that the senior official is not in the palace, otherwise I don't know what to do."

After saying this, Zhang Quan said with a smile: "Send Wang Xianggong, there is a palace! Naturally, I will take on this kind of errand work."

"Well, the empress said, let us go when the husband is out of the palace."

"Oh, what's the matter with the empress?" Zhang Quan trembled. He had several houses inside and outside the city, bought a few concubines with money, and bought a luxurious clock a few days ago. Could it be that the empress dowager knows something?

"You'll understand when you go, why ask so many questions." Qing Jun rolled his eyes at Zhang Quan, turned around and was about to leave.

"Shang Gong, don't you have a knot in your heart! We, Monk Gong, are also friends in need, so we cheated in front of you." Zhang Quan was careful, but he lacked confidence!

"As for your crap, the empress doesn't pay attention to it. You think you're doing it in a secret!" Qingjun said to himself with a look of disdain, "What do you think you want so much money for?"

Zhang Quan curled his lips, Qingjun meant something!He is in charge of the fattest internal servant provincial government office. Take Houyuan Zaozao as an example. He is responsible for making items for the palace and royal weddings. It is conceivable that there are tricks in it. He will be hated if he is also in charge of Neidongmensi!

Where is Neto Mojina?That is the place that the servants absolutely dream of, in charge of the entry and exit of people and things in the palace, registering the transfer of treasures in each room and storehouse,

The registration of tributes and purchased items makes people's eyes shine when they think about it.

The most enviable thing is that he is also responsible for the royal family's rewards and monthly rations, palace repairs and holding banquets and other affairs.

Not to mention everything, just a little bit that falls out from between his fingers every month is enough for half his luxurious life.There is also a big trick, whether the large items of rewards and rations are transported by people themselves with their own feet, or sent by Nei Dongmensi. Among them, the money for hiring feet and donkey carts can be calculated with their toes.

"It's all a gift from the empress, aren't we also walking on eggshells!"

"It's good that you know, the empress knows what you like, as long as it's not too much, you can enjoy it, but don't forget that the empress doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that others don't look at it." Qing Jun looked at Zhang Quan with a half-smile, He sneered and said, "With your appearance, you have taken in seven or eight young ladies, so you're being cheap."
