That's right, I'm the girl who hides in the golden house

=========================

May [-]th is suitable for offering sacrifices and praying for blessings.

Wang Baoxiang brought Pi Shaoxian to the palace, and sat on the stool in Huo Yunchao's study like two statues just finished. Huo Yunchao sat at the desk reading a book, and they played the game of "I won't speak until you speak first".

Qing Tianliang heard the notification from the servants, and rushed from the yard non-stop, and asked after entering the door, "Have you found it?"

As soon as he came to the air, he was alive. Wang Baoxiang heaved a sigh of relief visibly, his sitting posture softened instantly, and he said a little wronged: "I found out, there are not many people who come into the store to buy rouge, and no one comes to buy it repeatedly for several days in a row." , that is, there is a farmer in the eastern suburbs who goes to the backyard to pull waste water every day. It is said that the water in the rouge shop is the last to clean the water tank. It is collected and then precipitated, and the rouge can be precipitated, but the amount is too small. It’s not uncommon to spend some free time to settle, so I gave it to the farmer.”

"The farm has been collecting waste water for more than half a month. I sent someone to follow it secretly. If you want to go, you can go and have a look now."

Qing Tianliang was not in a hurry, and asked Pi Shaoxian, "How is the management of the store?"

Pi Shaoxian said: "The manager's whereabouts are indeed suspicious, but he has not had any contact with the Duan family in Baicheng these days. They sent people to investigate and found that his wife and mother have added a lot of new clothes recently. The neighbors said that he The family is about to prosper, and they like to go out to show off when they have nothing to do, so it should be a sudden fortune."

"So it looks like you're hiding from Duan Bai Villa?" Qing Tianliang looked at Huo Yunchao.

Huo Yunchao put down the book in his hand, nodded and said: "That's right, it's true that the manager of the store took a large amount of money from the other party. The other party said that he wanted to make fireworks in private so that he could sell them for money. He also believed it, and he took the money to do things for others. It's nothing to do with the Duan family, don't worry."

Qing Tianliang breathed a sigh of relief, the depression of these days was instantly swept away, only the excitement remained, and he wanted to deal with the gunpowder matter.

It was rare to see Qing Tianliang so happy. Huo Yunchao was thinking about the possibility of taking him out. He sent someone to secretly deliver a message to King Xiao, revealing to King Xiao that Du Ju was going to bomb Zhengyang. Presumably King Xiao is busy now. "Confidence" with Du Ju has no time to take care of this side, and it's not impossible to take him out, let alone follow him, it is probably safe.

Under the anticipation of Qing Tianliang's starry eyes, Huo Yunchao twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and then said calmly: "Go and see."

"Yeah!" Qing Tianliang jumped up, it was the first time that Huo Yunchao was very pleasing to the eye, no matter how he looked at it, he looked good!

In a farmhouse in the eastern suburbs, a woman was drying her clothes when she was startled by several people who broke in suddenly.

The man in the room ran out, and when he found out that it was Lord Huo Xiaowang who had arrived, his head and feet felt cold. There was no need to force him, and the man explained the matter honestly.

It is said that they packed the gunpowder in sacks, disguised as bran, and transported them to the city, and put them in several designated places. Someone will pick them up when the time comes, so they don't need to worry about it.

Huo Yunchao ordered his mother-in-law to continue to disguise at home, lest the enemy find out, and took the man to the city to secretly search for those sacks.

It was found that many sacks were stacked in the original place, no one suspected or reported to the official, most of them had said hello.

It must have cost a lot of money to be able to bribe so many people to help with things. It is impossible for the other party to carry so much money with them at all times. There must be a specific bank to provide it for them.

After finding out where the gunpowder was mainly stored, several people returned to the palace, and after the man was taken into prison, Huo Yunchao began to arrange manpower to clean up these things secretly.

But after all, Huo Yunchao was being watched all the time. If he dispatched too many people on his side, he might be noticed by the enemy. Now that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open, we have to be careful.

Qing Tianliang recommended himself, saying that he had many friends of various teachings and high-levels. Originally, those people lived in the market, and their actions would not attract much attention. Moreover, there were friends and friends, and there were enough people to keep them.

Huo Yunchao asked: "Can you trust it?"

Qing Tianliang glanced at Pi Shaoxian, and Pi Shaoxian said: "I just said that I was looking for sacks, and when I saw something suspicious, I moved it away quietly, and they used money to do things. These people are more or less loyal, and they don't ask too many questions." Ask, and many people are not the masters of peace, if you can make Ah Liang owe you favors, you can ask Ah Liang to help you with anything in the future, they are all smart people and know what to do."

Huo Yunchao nodded: "Tell them that this matter is on my shoulders. If you come to me for anything in the future, I will do it for them if you can."

"This..." Pi Shaoxian still hesitated.

Qing Tianliang was very happy: "That's it, the favor of a prince, let those people die of beauty!"

In this way, the matter was finally settled, Wang Baoxiang and Pi Shaoxian went to contact people, Huo Yunchao received a report from Zuo Ye that Kuang Rong had returned, so he went to see him.

Kuang Rong was sent by him to ambush the Shangguo escort team. This time, when he came back, he either succeeded or failed, but it should be the former.

It was the first time in Qing Tianliang's life that he was doing a major event, and he was extremely excited. When he came to the yard, he saw a little maid squatting by the pond watching the fish, so he chatted with her in a good mood.

Qing Tianliang helped the servants and maids get their wages back last time, and finally had such a good impression in these people's hearts. Last time, that bold girl was most willing to talk to him. Qing Tianliang couldn't leave the palace, so the little girl stayed outside. Tell him anything you hear.

This time Qing Tianliang asked her to talk, and she told the interesting things she heard outside this morning.

Now it is said that the underground bank has placed a bet.

Originally there were rumors that Huo Yunchao was the one who got married, but in the end the imperial decree made him the third prince. A lot of "insider" news leaked out, and everyone became interested in Huo Yunchao's marriage. Whether to marry first or take concubine first.

Some people said that Huo Yunchao would marry the eldest lady of General Zhang's mansion, because they saw that Huo Yunchao had gone boating with her;

Everyone has their own opinions, which eventually lead to heated debates. More and more people participated in the betting, and an unpopular bet was fired into a national bet.

Other casinos were jealous, so they followed suit one after another, and then all kinds of bets appeared, and the topic of who Huo Yunchao would marry was aroused for a while.

At dinner time, Qing Tianliang and Huo Yunchao sat at the same table. After eating for a long time, Qing Tianliang still felt disturbed, and finally couldn't help asking: "I heard that there is a bet on who the little prince will marry in the casino outside. Some people say that you will marry me?" Marry the eldest lady of General Zhang's mansion...will you marry her?"

Huo Yunchao paused while eating, and looked at him: "You care?"

Qing Tianliang glanced open his eyes, lowered his head to dig two mouthfuls of rice, and said inarticulately: "I don't seem to care about it, I'm more curious, now the streets and alleys are betting on whether you will marry the eldest lady or Nameiji, if you can tell Me, if I take a gamble, I will definitely win a lot of silver, and then five or five cents will do."

After hearing this, Huo Yunchao's eyes turned cold, he ignored him, and continued to eat his own food with his head down.

Qing Tianliang took a look, but he didn't get the answer he wanted, and the itching in his heart couldn't be calmed down, so he couldn't help but asked again: "Are you going to marry her? Anyway, you are going to marry, so tell me in advance that you can't do it? Isn't it worth the trouble we have had for so many years?"

Huo Yunchao put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked directly at him, and said calmly: "There are also bets on me not to marry a wife, but to marry the young lady who is hiding in the golden house, why don't you bet on that young lady?"

"..."

Well, blocked, he has nothing to say.

Qing Tianliang rolled his eyes, lowered his head and continued to eat, but felt much more at ease in his heart, and felt more at ease after being teased. Could it be that he is not used to being scolded for a day?Bitch?

He tangled up again, which was not a taste.

Time passed by, and the gift-giving team from the Shang Kingdom finally arrived at Zhengyang, the capital of the Dajia Kingdom. The team recuperated outside the city for three days, and three days later held a welcome ceremony at the altar.

In addition to the wedding, the streets and alleys were decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the ten-mile-long street was covered with red silk.

On the day when the Shang Kingdom gift-giving team entered Zhengyang, it was still brightly lit around the altar before dawn.

The altar is circular, with a large round platform outside and a small round platform in the middle. There are about thirty steps from the big round platform to the small round platform, and the steps are one-third the width of the round platform. There was a soldier standing two steps away, and the banner set off the altar solemnly.

The people who got up early to do business looked around twice when they passed by, and were immediately driven away by the guarding officers and soldiers.

Huo Bing and a group of ministers came to the scene one after another. After greeting each other, they went to the first station and waited, chatting with each other.

The envoys of the Shang Kingdom stood on the right side of the steps, looking at the officials of the Great Jia Kingdom. Compared to the excitement of the officials of the Great Jia Kingdom, the other side seemed deserted, and few people spoke. Du Ju raised his head and looked at the sky. Live in the direction of the city gate.

Huo Bing stood on the edge of the altar, followed by Qing Keren, the two of them didn't speak, as the sky was getting brighter, Huo Bingcai sighed heavily, turned his head and said to Qing Keren: "I regret it a little."

Qing Keren glanced at Huo Bing, then lowered his head, and said respectfully: "There is no turning back when you shoot the bow, and please Your Majesty put the overall situation first."

Huo Bing nodded, and wanted to talk about other lighter topics, but after thinking about it for a week, he found that there was no easy topic to talk about between them, so he gave up.

When the first light from the sky entered Zhengyang, the altar sounded the sound of ancient and solemn horns, and when the auspicious time came, the city gate was opened.

Qing Tianliang opened the window of the bedroom and looked towards the direction of the altar. It stands to reason that he should have participated in the grand ceremony, but in the eyes of outsiders, he should still be squatting in the prison to be tortured, so he must avoid this scene. , so as not to save Du Ju or anyone else from making excuses.

The trumpet sounded three times, the gate of Zhengyang city was opened, and the gift-giving team of Shang Kingdom walked down the east street to the altar.Many people came back from the Kingdom of Shang, and the momentum was particularly large. There were five or six carriages packed with cloth, and other things packed in wooden boxes. Very valuable.

The horse-drawn carriages one after another, together with the escorts, walked for half an hour before reaching the altar. Du Ju was overjoyed and couldn't help but tiptoe.

The third prince standing on the other side had deep eyes, staring at Huo Yunchao who was not far away, as if he wanted to stare him out of a hole.

Huo Yun didn't squint his eyes, watching the procession accompanying the ceremony, watching those people standing in an orderly manner in the square under the altar.

Most of these people have been replaced by Huo Bing and his people, and everything is under control. Just wait for Huo Bing to present the evidence of Shang Guo's collusion with Guijue at the grand ceremony, then these people will become Du Ju The shackles trapped here will make it difficult for them to fly.
