That night.
Zhao Yao was playing eagle and chicken catching with Da Niu, Xiao Niu, Lai Man and Xiao Jin.
After being trained by Uncle Zhang and Zhao Yao, the older girl and the younger girl became very smart. They are now able to successfully sneak into other people's homes and steal money hidden under their beds without anyone noticing.
They also often go to other people's homes and eavesdrop on what they say in private. They like to listen to "private conversations" the most, which is so fun.
As soon as Zhao Yao arrived, they couldn't wait to share with him what they heard... In Zhao Yao's words, it was gossip.
I heard a lot of funny and weird things from them, and I also heard a lot of things that were hard for ordinary people to do at home. Zhao Yao would tell Liang Zhaoyi when he returned to the palace, and Liang Zhaoyi would write it down after hearing it.
In the past few days, Xiaojin and Laiman followed Da Niu and Xiao Niu to eavesdrop. They heard about many secrets of the minister's family. For example, the concubine of a minister was arrogant and domineering and beat his first wife. Which minister likes to go to Yihong Tower, which general has an affair with his subordinate's wife, which general's subordinate has an affair with the general's concubine, which minister likes to pick his toes at home...
After hearing this, Zhao Yao screamed. These ministers usually act like gentlemen, but I didn't expect them to be so... shameless in private.
He saw that Da Niu and Xiao Niu liked to eavesdrop on other people's secrets, so he asked them, Xiao Jin, and Lai Yi to eavesdrop on other people's homes. As for Laiman, it cannot enter Nanshi. As long as it enters Nanshi, it will be beaten to death by patrollers.
Nanshi is close to the Imperial City, and people of high status live here. This area is very neat and clean. Not only stray cats and dogs are not allowed to enter, but even ordinary people are not allowed to approach.
Ordinary people who approach Nanshi will be punished if they are discovered, ranging from a beating to a prison sentence.
Zhao Yao came and went. A group of sparrows flew to the homes of Wang family, Xie family, Xun family, Yuan family and other aristocratic families to eavesdrop. Listen openly to what they say on weekdays, and see what they do blatantly.
Zhao Yao has been thinking about something these days. Should he establish a detailed organization of animals and send them to eavesdrop and spy on the affairs of noble families and ministers?
He has always invited them to help him eavesdrop on some things, but he has never thought of establishing a special organization for animal eavesdropping. In the past two days, he saw that big girls like to eavesdrop and peek at humans so much, so he came up with this idea.
He had trained cats and dogs in the secret base of Leng Palace before, but he had never thought of training birds or other flying animals.
After returning to the palace, he had a good chat with them, then trained them well, and established a detailed organization composed of animals - "Migratory Birds".
Zhao Yao couldn't think of a nice name, so he named it "Migratory Bird", which he thought was very suitable.
The cats and dogs in the secret base of Leng Palace have completed their training. They have been training the cats and dogs in the Pei family's deserted house during this period.
After the cats and dogs in the Pei family's abandoned house are trained, they will train the cats and dogs wandering in every corner of the capital.
Whether it is the cats and dogs in the secret base of Leng Palace, or the cats and dogs in the Pei family's deserted house, they have all been strays. They also have their own relatives and friends, and they also hope that their relatives and friends can have food, water, and a place to sleep like they do. They are willing to train their relatives and friends so that their relatives and friends can be reused, so that their relatives and friends can be like them.
Currently, half of the stray animals in the capital are Zhao Yao's "hands". They are located in many places in the capital and can find out a lot of information, and most of this information is unknown. The most important thing is that these messages are difficult to find out.
Animals are better at gathering information than humans.
Zhao Yao has always known about this, but he didn't feel that he really needed his animal friends to help him find out the news. Every time, only when necessary, he would ask his animal friends to help him find out information. Now, he has changed his mind. He must set up a special and unique organization to inquire about information.
It is not only convenient to come to them to inquire about information, but also very safe, because people will not be on guard against animals.
Liang Run came back from outside and saw Zhao Yao and Da Niu having so much fun playing eagle and catching chickens that they couldn't help but laugh.
After Zhao Yao and the others played for a while, Liang Run walked up and interrupted them.
"Yao Yao, Wang Siqi can't wait any longer. He sent someone to deliver a letter. Please read it."
Zhao Yao gently patted Da Niu and their little heads and asked them to go out to play, but they had to pay attention to safety and not to be caught. Once they are caught, nothing good will happen to them.
After reading the letter, Zhao Yao raised his lips and sneered: "Wang Siqi is really anxious."
"Yao Yao, why do you think he is so anxious?" Regarding this, Liang Run did not expect to understand, "Since we opened a store specializing in things from the Western Regions in the capital, many people have also opened similar stores. . As far as I know, all the aristocratic families have sent people to the Western Regions, and the Wang family must have sent people there as well. Why does Wang Siqi insist on cooperating with me? "
"It's very simple. This is because he wants to cooperate with you personally, not to cooperate with you on behalf of the Wang family." Zhao Yao said solemnly, "He will definitely take over the Wang family's business in Wusun, but he can't get the money he makes. How much. And if he cooperates with you in his own name, the money he earns is his own."
After hearing what Zhao Yao said, Liang Run finally understood Wang Siqi's purpose.
"So that's the case, but he can let his people go to Wusun to do business, so that he can also get rid of the Wang family."
"No, if my guess is correct, he and his men are being monitored by the Wang family. He asked his men to secretly open stores and do business, and the money earned will still be taken away by the Wang family in the end. "Zhao Yao folded the letter in his hand into a paper airplane, and then gently threw it out. The paper airplane flew in the air for a while, and then fell to the ground. "However, if he cooperates with you, it will be difficult for the Wang family to notice. Even if the Wang family notices it, you are Liang Zhaoyi's brother. The Wang family dare not and will not easily swallow up your business."
Liang Run suddenly realized, "So this is his purpose."
"It's not surprising that he wants to make private money. If he wants to replace Wang Sixiu, in addition to having extraordinary means, he also needs to be rich." Zhao Yao said with a mocking smile on his face, "For a family like the Wang family, money is Kazuo and others are all controlled by the direct line, while most of the people from the side lines are very poor."
"You mean Wang Siqi wants money to bribe people from the side branch?" Liang Run said with confusion, "What's the use of him buying people from the side branch? The people from the side branch can't help him."
"Second uncle, don't underestimate the people of the side branch. The elders of the aristocratic families are all from the side branch." Zhao Yao said meaningfully, "Not all side branches have no status, some side branches are very important. You said bribery Are the people from the side branch useful?"
Liang Run said: "That's it."
"Second uncle, if you have money, you can push the wheels. This is not a joke." Zhao Yao said, "Although the Wang family is a century-old family, after experiencing the turmoil of the previous dynasty, the Wang family has long been inferior to before. As a person, Naturally, the direct line can continue to enjoy glory and wealth, but people from the side branches cannot. For money, people from the side branches are willing to support Wang Siqi."
"Wang Siqi invites me to meet at the [Wangjiangnan] teahouse tomorrow. Should I reject him?" Liang Run asked, "Reject him directly, or delay the rejection for a few days?"
"Reject him directly." Zhao Yao said, "I will go with you tomorrow."
Liang Run looked surprised: "Yao Yao, you want to go with me?" After saying that, he showed a look of disapproval on his face, "Wang Siqi is very smart. If you go, he will definitely guess your identity."
"Second uncle, of course I won't appear in front of him. I'm sitting next door to you." Zhao Yao said thoughtfully, "I want to see this Wang Siqi."
"Yao Yao, are you interested in Wang Siqi?"
"I'm curious why Bage chose Wang Siqi." With Bage's scheming and methods, the person who can be chosen by him must be outstanding, or this person must be valuable. He wanted to see what was special about Wang Siqi that attracted Ba Ge.
"Okay, then you go with me tomorrow." Liang Run said, "I will write a reply to him now."
After Liang Run wrote the reply, he sent someone to deliver it to Wang Siqi's people.
Wang Siqi has a house in Beishi. He does not live in the house in Beishi on weekdays, but if he has to do personal business, he will have someone send a letter to his house in Beishi.
Beishi is a slum area, a mixed bag of good and bad. People from East City and South City will never go to North City, as this will damage their status.
Although Bei City is a mixed bag, it is a good place to hide.
"By the way, second uncle, I forgot to tell you that Wang Siqi was having an affair with Wang Sixiu's concubine." This news was told to him by Zhao Yao's bird friends, who had seen it with their own eyes.
"What?" Liang Run was surprised at first, and then asked with a gossipy face, "Is it true or false?"
"Really." Zhao Yao showed the same gossipy expression as him, "It is said that Wang Sixiu loves this concubine very much."
After hearing this, Liang Run exclaimed: "Then he is really capable." He added, "Wang Siqi has a face that women like."
"I've met Wang Sixiu, he looks very ordinary."
"No wonder."
At this time, in the house in Beishi, the eighth prince was playing chess with Wang Siqi.
This house in Beishi was also the place where the Eighth Prince and Wang Siqi met.
It was the eighth prince's idea to let Wang Siqi buy a house in Beishi.
The Eighth Prince himself has several houses in Beishi. Of course, there are also houses in Nanshi and Xishi. He even has a place to stay in the countryside outside the capital.
At this time, it was already Xu Shi. Logically speaking, the Eighth Prince should be at Xingde Palace, but instead he appeared in Beishi.
The eighth prince can enter and leave the palace freely just like Zhao Yao. Of course, he sneaked in and out of the palace secretly, and so far no one else noticed.
He left the palace tonight because he had something to do, and then stopped by to see Wang Siqi.
Wang Siqi didn't expect the Eighth Prince to come. Although he was a little surprised, he was more of a surprise.
Wang Siqi was convinced of the Eighth Prince.
The eighth prince was talking to Wang Siqi while playing chess.
Wang Siqi listened very carefully and with a very respectful attitude.
Although Yu Hai felt that Wang Siqi was unreliable, he saw that Wang Siqi was respectful to the eighth prince, and he did not dislike him in his heart.
The eighth prince saw that Wang Siqi had done well and did not disappoint him, so he decided to reward him.
"Ting Xia in Mrs. Wang's courtyard belongs to me. If you have anything, you can go to her."
When Wang Siqi heard this, his face was full of shock, and his tone was full of disbelief: "Is Ting Xia one of yours, Your Highness?"
"That's right, if you need any help, you can ask her." The eighth prince's tone was very calm, but it made Wang Siqi feel troubled.
"Ting Xia is the most capable maid around mother..." Wang Siqi did not expect that Ting Xia was actually the eighth prince's wife.
The eighth prince had no reaction to Wang Siqi's disbelief. He still said lightly: "She can help you."
Wang Siqi gasped: "This..." His Highness actually has an informant in the Wang family, and he is still with his mother. This... is so scary!
"However, you shouldn't go to her often. It won't be a good thing for you if she gets too close to you." The Eighth Prince warned, "She will help you secretly."
I didn’t expect His Highness to be so resourceful!
Wang Siqi was once again frightened by the eighth prince's methods. He was glad in his heart that he had always been respectful and obedient to His Highness. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.
"I understand." Wang Siqi stood up and saluted the eighth prince, "Thank you, Your Highness."
After seeing the Eighth Prince's astonishing methods again, Wang Siqi felt scared and happy at the same time, but more importantly, he was trembling.
He firmly believed that as long as he stayed loyally by the Eighth Prince's side and worked obediently for the Eighth Prince, he would definitely achieve great success in the future!
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't easily disturb Miss Ting Xia." If he often goes to see Miss Ting Xia, he will only make his mother suspicious and unhappy.
Seeing that Wang Siqi understood what he meant, the Eighth Prince nodded lightly and said nothing more.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect Miss Xia to be one of yours." Wang Siqi couldn't help but wonder in his heart, if there are people from His Highness around his mother, then there are also people from His Highness around his father or eldest brother.
"It's nothing." The Eighth Prince naturally understood the meaning behind Wang Siqi's words, but he ignored it.
Wang Siqi didn't ask any more questions, "By the way, Your Highness, I have something to tell you."
The Eighth Prince raised his eyes and looked at Wang Siqi: "What's the matter?"
"I originally planned to report it to you after the matter is successful, but you are here today, so I will tell you in advance."
"You say."
"Your Highness, do you know that the second uncle of the tenth prince is in the capital?"
Upon hearing Wang Siqi's question, the Eighth Prince's eyes immediately changed, but they soon returned to normal.
"I know."
"Your Highness, the second uncle of the tenth prince is quite capable in business..." Wang Siqi found out what Liang Run had done and reported it to the eighth prince in detail.
The eighth prince listened to Wang Siqi calmly. When Wang Siqi finished speaking, he guessed what Wang Siqi wanted to do.
"Your Highness, I plan to cooperate with the tenth prince's second uncle." Wang Siqi said, with a malicious smile on his lips. "When the time is right, I will directly swallow up all the business of the tenth prince's second uncle."
The Eighth Prince threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess box, which immediately made a loud noise.
When Wang Siqi heard this voice, his heart trembled.
Yu Hai, who was standing aside, looked at Wang Siqi in surprise and said with shock in his heart: Is Wang Siqi so brave that he dared to take advantage of the second uncle of His Highness the Tenth Prince?
"You want to swallow up all the business of my tenth brother's second uncle?"
There was no emotion or anger in the eighth prince's tone, but Wang Siqi felt chills in his heart. He asked bravely: "Your Highness, is there something wrong?"
"What do you think?" The Eighth Prince's tone turned cold.
Wang Siqi could see that the eighth prince was angry, but he didn't know why the eighth prince was angry.
"Wang Siqi, you are so brave, you dare to take advantage of His Highness the Tenth Highness's second uncle." Yu Hai scolded sternly, "Don't you know that Your Highness the Tenth Highness is His Highness's younger brother?"
Wang Siqi was a little confused: "I know that His Highness the Tenth Prince is his younger brother, but..." A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Wang Siqi finally understood why the Eighth Prince was angry. There was a look of horror on his face, "Your Highness, I didn't know that the Tenth Highness was yours. Please forgive me."
The Eighth Prince narrowed his eyes with a cold light.
"Third brother is my only brother. I don't allow anyone to hurt him. Do you understand?"
Wang Siqi's face turned pale instantly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked horrified and said: "My subordinates understand!"
Sorry, I came back a little late tonight, so I delayed updating until now.
Wang Siqi: I know that His Highness the Tenth Prince is His Highness’s younger brother.
Yu Hai: Your Highness is the most important person to His Highness. How dare you take advantage of His Highness’s second uncle? Are you dissatisfied with your longevity?
Wang Siqi: I don’t know┭┮﹏┭┮
Eighth Prince: I don’t allow anyone to hurt my tenth brother, let alone you, not even my father.
Finally, I still ask for a monthly ticket! Please give me a reward! Please leave a message! Ask for everything!
