"Tsk..." Yin Duo let out a click between his teeth, and sneered.

"Your Highness."

"Go ahead."

"The maid just now...is called Xiaohong."

"I know." Yin Duo stretched out a hand and said, "You are getting more and more courageous." Just after one Xiaohong was dismissed, another Xiaohong came in a blink of an eye.If there is no other meaning in it, Yin Duo would not believe it.

"The slave's courage is given by His Highness."

"Huh?" Knowing what he meant, Hua Xun dared to talk about him?It seems really courageous.

Hua Xun didn't speak.How Xiaohong died last time, he only found out afterwards.He tactfully reminded His Highness that the servants around him should not be killed just because of Li Zan's one-sided remarks. Firstly, there may be other hidden truths, and secondly, it is easy to chill the heart of the servant.

But His Highness drank Li Zan's ecstasy soup, and no one believed it except Li Zan.Hua Xun could only protect himself at that time, so naturally he couldn't say anything more.Originally, I thought that if Xiaohong served well, I could find a way to talk about it. The last Xiaohong was not such a coquettish temperament, but now it seems that I have troubled myself.

"Did you name her that on purpose?"

Knowing that the third prince might be suspicious, Hua Xun quickly knelt down: "Your Highness, listen to me."

Yin Duo didn't speak, and closed his eyes.

Hua Xun looked at the two court ladies who were massaging Yin Duo, dismissed them with winks, went up and hugged Yin Duo's feet and began to massage them.Seeing the two maids walk out with their heads down and hands down, Hua Xun said, "Your Highness, the smell from Xiaohong's body is said to be a folk remedy for wind and cold."

"..." Hua Xun pressed comfortably, but Yin Duo didn't answer.After a while, Yin Duo suddenly came to his senses and half sat up all of a sudden: "The wind chill? Who has the wind chill?"

"Your Highness already knows in his heart."

"I can't keep it." Yin Duo's eyes revealed a cold disgust.

"But this old slave thinks it's better to give him to General Gu."

"What? A slave who betrayed the master, what kind of benefits did you take from them!" Yin Duo got angry and kicked over.

Hua Xun was so heartbroken that he couldn't catch his breath for a long time, and could only hold back if he wanted to cough or dare not cough.Quickly knelt down and replied: "Your Highness, Your Highness calm down. Give Xiaohong to General Gu, once you come..."

"Get lost! You old bastard!" Yin Duo kicked Hua Xun on the shoulder again, throwing him backwards.

Hua Xun knelt down on the ground, and made a detailed statement: "Your Highness, firstly, we are in the Yamen of the Suizhou prefect. How many people watch our every move. If it is not disrespectful, it is not appropriate to kill the maid. Secondly, put Giving it to General Gu, it can be regarded as fulfilling Xiaohong's sincerity. Spreading it can also add to His Highness's reputation. Thirdly, we can see Xiaohong's thoughts, and Master An must also know..." Hua Xun As he spoke, he looked at the third prince and made an expression of watching the show.

Yin Duo lost his temper and calmed down a little.Hearing what Hua Xun said, he also became interested: "Well, it makes sense. I heard that An Shaohua dismissed all the people in his yard a few days ago? Well, he is also short of people to serve him now."

Hua Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Your Highness gave it to General Gu, not Lord An."

Yin Duo raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and laughed loudly: "Great! Hahaha! Great!"

But after dinner, Uncle Liu never showed up.On the contrary, Liu's reception was still meticulous and respectful.

Gu Li whispered: "It's just a marriage, why is General Liu so resistant?"

"Let's take a look."

Not long after the two returned to the house, Ma Jun came again.This time he also brought a little boy who was [-] or [-] years old. Ma Jun said: "This is a child I bought from the Yu family class in Suizhou, called Qu Liuzi. If there is something to do, I will let him deliver the letter."

After finishing speaking, Qu Liuzi bowed to the two noblemen.After saluting, Ma Jun asked him to wait outside.

"Qu Liuzi has an older sister named Yu Zuimei. She sings old-fashioned songs."

"Kunsheng?" Gu Li's eyes lit up when he heard this.Gu Li himself was a singer, so when he met a Kunsheng, he was naturally very curious.

"Yes. Yu Zuimei is now the most popular actor in Suizhou. Many dignitaries come to listen to the opera. Yu Zuimei is a pillar of the Yu family troupe, and she still has arrogance. Sometimes she will sing without taking a penny, and sometimes she will sing for a hundred taels of gold. Even if I put it in front of me, I will not be moved. When I am in a bad mood, it is not uncommon for me to refuse to sing for ten days and a half months. But this afternoon, someone paid 300 taels of silver per day to ask Yu Zuimei to start from tomorrow. They all come to the Suizhou government office for a meeting."

"The meeting in the government office?" Gu Li was taken aback, his expression immediately changed. "Shouldn't Mr. Huo send someone to attend the meeting of the government office? Why did Li Zan's subordinates go?"

Ma Jun didn't show off, and hurriedly said: "Our lord is not prepared for the meeting. General Gu is on an errand on this trip, how can... our lord will not be so indiscriminate. This morning, the young man next to Li lord went out, Went straight to the market. First bought two boys, one thirteen and one twelve, both of them are good-looking boys with quick hands and feet. Ten taels of silver each, signed a death contract."

"Ten taels of silver can sign a death contract?"

"Well, many places have been hit by disasters this year, and many victims have gone to relatives and friends to live here. If they are unlucky, they can only sell their children. If there are too many, the price will naturally be lower. Some children will sell them for money. They are all. When you meet a good family, you can take away any money you don’t need. Twelve taels is already a lot.” Ma Jun lost his father when he was young, and things hurt his kind, and he feels sorry for him.

"They're all poor people." Gu Cheng sighed slightly.

"Then those two bought another seven or eight girls, ranging from fourteen to eighteen, all of them good-looking. They also signed death contracts."

"Seven or eight girls?" An Shaohua murmured.

"There were already a few people in their thirties, but this time there are seven or eight people here. He must be doing something, putting on such a big show! Be careful..."

"Liuguang!" An Shaohua interrupted Gu Cheng's complaint.He leaned closer to Gu Gu's ear and whispered, "I don't know where the dark guard is, there are some things that must not be said out loud!"

"Don't say it's behind someone's back, even in front of the emperor..."

An Shaohua hastily covered Gu Cheng's mouth: "Don't worry about it! Ancestor!" After speaking, he looked at Ma Jun.

Ma Jun hurriedly finished the sentence: "Then they took the money and went to Yu's class. Finally, they rented a yard and put the maids there, but the servants brought them back to the government office." After finishing speaking, he was about to leave.

"Put it in the yard?" An Shaohua and Gu Cheng met each other's eyes, full of doubts.

"Maybe..." Ma Jun hesitated for a while, "Maybe I just want to take it for a while."

After Ma Jun finished speaking, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Why did the servant girl just take the maid back with her when she bought it?An Shaohua didn't quite agree with Ma Jun's speculation.Things are not that simple.

Cai Zhongkang is not a troublesome character who wants so many servant girls to serve him.

Just thinking about it, the beginning of autumn came.

This time Li Qiu came in after being notified at the door, and Gu Cheng was a little disappointed.He thought that in the days to come, they would have to find the hidden guards in various places around them like they were playing "find the difference", so that they could connect with the hidden guards.I didn't know that people came in directly through the door.

The way Li Qiu appeared on the stage disappointed Gu Cheng, but the news he brought was like timely rain.

It turned out that Cai Tong was sick and couldn't take care of him. Cai Zhongkang did ask Li Zan's servants to help buy a few people, but he only asked to buy two clever servants.

"Ten years?" Gu Li realized something was wrong first, "Isn't it a dead contract?"

"Double contract." An Shaohua was used to it. "The death contract is in Li Zan's hands, and the two boys were Li Zan's people, and Li Zan had to tell him to die. Li Zan made another ten-year contract and put them next to Cai Zhongkang."

"Is that okay?" Gu Cheng asked again.

An Shaohua winked at him and said, "I'll talk about it later. Li Qiu will come in person, I'm afraid there is still something to do."

Sure enough, Li Qiu wanted to thank An Shaohua for saving the autumn equinox. By the way, from now on, An Shaohua's letter to the Ministry of Punishment could also go through the channel of the secret guard, half as fast as the normal station.

An Shaohua was not too polite when he was in a hurry.Ask the hidden guard to go back and ask the Ministry of Punishment to send two capable assistants.After saying this, An Shaohua ordered Li Qiu to go and see what Uncle Liu was doing.

After sending off Li Qiu, An Shaohua explained to Gu Cheng what a double contract is.

Take the current matter as an example, although Cai Zhongkang paid the money, but Li Zan held the deed of selling himself.So in the final analysis, these two people are Li Zan's people.Now Li Zan blatantly puts this person next to Cai Zhongkang. From Cai Zhongkang's point of view, he bought this person himself.

Gu Li immediately understood, "Is Li Zan going to attack Cai Zhongkang?" He was a little worried that Cai Zhongkang was not Li Zan's opponent.

An Shaohua thought for a while before saying, "I don't think so, maybe it's just a rainy day."

"What?"

"Li Zan is a man with vicious thoughts."

Gu Cheng grinned and tutted a few times, feeling filled with emotions for a moment.Li Zan is really—in a word, bad!

Do things that harm others and benefit yourself.Bad thoughts, deep scheming, many eyes, and bad hearts.Being his colleague, classmate, Fa Xiao... as long as he gets in touch with him, it feels miserable.How could there be such a person?By the way, he also has a kleptomania.Whoops, really, really bad.

However, An Shaohua remembered a past event: "When Li Zan was thirteen and fourteen, he personally forced his elder brother to death."

"what?"

An Shaohua told Gu Cheng about the events of that year in detail, which made Gu Cheng turn cold for a while. "That's his brother!" From Gu Cheng's point of view, the concubine's nature is completely different from the modern illegitimate child, and the concubine's brothers and sisters are also connected by blood.

"Li Zan is such a person, the emperor still agrees to let him be the third prince's companion?"

"At the beginning, both the Empress Dowager and Concubine Li were interested in him. Although the emperor arranged for the third prince Cai Zhongkang and Zhao Shanhe. Zhao Shanhe also returned to the palace to accompany him for three or four months, but in the end he was replaced by Li Zan."

Zhao Shanhe is the youngest son of the late old General Zhao. After the death of General Zhao, Zhao Shanhe took over the [-] Zhao family army and served as a fourth-rank general in the Pingxi Army. He was young and promising.In terms of family background alone, Zhao Shanhe and Cai Zhongkang happened to have both literature and martial arts, and it was just right for them to accompany the third prince.It can be seen that the emperor has thought carefully for the third prince.

It's a pity that what the queen mother wants is not comprehensive.
