Among the "Zeofu" caravans traveling between Tan and Wei, there was one who dealt in jade and had some sales dealings with "Zhuoyu Pavilion".
When Zhiyu learned that his caravan could deliver information to Yangchen, he was overjoyed and wrote a letter specifically for them to convey to them when they returned to Tan.
However, this letter fell into the hands of the defender before it left the Wei Kingdom.
The minister who intercepted the letter felt as if he had found a treasure. He specially invited an expert who was good at imitating other people's calligraphy to "tamper" with the content of the letter: he wanted to introduce the second son to Yang Zhen as a "tampering". The "Letter of Introduction" from the primary school was changed to the "Letter of Warning" saying "Princess Lu, because of her unresolved hatred for Tan Zi, specially sent two assassins to assassinate him in the name of joining the army. He should be on guard!" .
When the letter was delivered to Uncle Ping'an's house, Yang Zhen was not at the house and was intercepted by Lu Yuan Nu.
At that time, Luyuan Girl was in the private garden, looking at a pair of children, letting them ride ponies and practice the game of "Chasing the Deer in the Central Plains"; after seeing the content of this letter, she felt sorry for Zhiyu - the one she had spent all those years ago. The maid who had tried her best to keep out the country of Tan was now about to have contact with her husband again, and she felt angry in her heart: but she did not dare not believe the "important things" mentioned in the letter.
Luyuan girl hesitated again and again, unable to make up her mind. Should she give this letter to Yang Zhen?
After thinking about it again and again, she finally decided to tell Tan Jun directly and let him be prepared. After all, the target of this "assassin" was Tan Jun, not Yang Zhen.
Even if he skipped this matter, there shouldn't be any bad consequences, right?
The key is that he should not be allowed to contact that "Zhiyu" again. This is the "key point" in her heart.
Therefore, before the time for her "periodic" visit to Tanzi came, Luyuan Girl hurriedly packed her bags and set off on her way to see Tanjun early.
Tan Jun didn't care at all that there would be "assassins". In his opinion, although the Lu State was powerful, the old affairs between Tan State and the Lu Princess were hardly considered friction, and there was no need for them. "Assassination"; besides, the source of this letter is self-defense, and Tan State's own official intelligence system has no knowledge of this. This letter can at best be regarded as a "joke": Besides, after all, as a king, it is necessary to deal with "Assassins" and the like were not her business as a woman.
However, seeing how much she cared about him, he deliberately gave her more rewards to bring back to him for her hard work along the way.
And this letter was left with Tan Jun.
Yang Zhen had no idea that such an incident had happened; and Zhiyu, of course, would not receive a reply from Yang Zhen "agreeing to accept the second son".
After waiting for a long time, there was still no reply.
Zhiyu decided to write a second letter. This time, she used "secrecy measures": instead of a letter, she wrote the letter on a piece of silk and hid it in the hollow core of a black jade hosta. .
This special shape is the only one that has been customized for Mi Zixia before, with a sharp blade inside; but this time, it is hollow and can accommodate a piece of paper with small characters.
In order to ensure that Yang Zhen could receive it in person, Zhiyu sent one of the two sons in charge of the warehouse to personally deliver the "jade" to Yang Zhen.
Pretending to be a member of the "Zeofu" caravan, since Xianyu had paid enough "hush money" in advance, the young man finally successfully delivered this special "hosta" to Yangchen without being informed by the guardian. in hand.
In his early years, Yang Zhen heard from his father Wang Dan that this black jade hairpin was once a sign that Song Guohua wanted to call him for something. Although this time it was not from the Song Dynasty, the selection of jade materials reminded him of this matter, so, I went specifically to ask Wang Dan for advice.
Wang Dan pulled out the hosta and found the letter inside. After seeing the content, the father and son couldn't help but be shocked:
It has been many years since the news of the loss of the maid. Unexpectedly, she is now the master of the "Zhuoyu Pavilion" under Princess Lu's sect. She has also done something "sorry" to Princess Lu. Now she is seeking asylum by sending a son to her door.
Yang Zhen immediately arranged for the young man to stay and discussed with Wang Dan whether it would affect the relationship between Lu and Tan if he went to take Zhiyu over again.
"Zhiyu is not a figure in the officialdom. As long as he is hidden, it should be fine."
Wang Dan also feels sorry for this girl. She has had a hard life. Please help now if you can!
They thought simply, but they didn't know that the other person in this door was very reluctant.
Lu Yuan Nu did not stop the arrival of Ichiko, but she still hoped to prevent the arrival of the other two people, especially Yu Zhi, who she did not want to see.
So, she started to go to Tan Jun, saying that the first "assassin" mentioned in the letter had disguised himself as a businessman and sneaked into Ping'an Bo's house. Yang Zhen was deceived by him and agreed to take him in as a sergeant in the army. Please Tanjun must take action to eliminate this problem.
Tan Jun saw that Lu Yuan Nu came to talk about this matter so urgently. Although he felt that she was "making a fuss out of a molehill", he still sent someone to summon Yang Zhen and showed him the first letter.
After seeing the "first letter", Yang Zhen was very suspicious of the fonts of the two letters: so he took out the second letter placed in the black hosta and compared the fonts with the first letter: It's actually the same font.
"Your Majesty, I understand that this letter was written for me, but how about you?"
Yang Zhen's suspicion was not just about the content of the letter; it was about the fact that this first letter that belonged to him clearly "jumped" past him and was placed directly here with Tan Zi.
"It was given to me by Miss Luyuan. As a result, you were not in the house that day, and the letter mentioned an 'assassin' who was harmful to me. She was too worried and came here specifically to give me a try."
Tan Jun was also a little puzzled, and then asked:
"After that, he has nothing to say for you to listen to?"
"without."
"That's a little weird!"
Tan Jun patted Yang Zhen on the shoulder and asked in a low voice:
"How are you and your wife doing lately?"
"No! It's always been fine!"
Yang Zhen knew in his mind whether it was "good or not", but in front of Tan Zi, besides firmly affirming that they were in love and had no suspicion, what else could he say?
"That's good! That's good!"
"Why don't I come here with my wife and ask questions in person."
"No! If we, the monarch and our ministers, can't trust each other, how can we trust a woman's words?"
Tan Jun still expressed his utmost trust and support to Yang Zhen:
"If there is anything you feel you need to talk to me about, you can just talk to me directly. I don't have to worry about it!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Please keep this in mind!"
When Yang Zhen returned to his mansion, the first thing he did was to go find Luyuan Girl and ask her why she had to hide the fact that she had received the first letter. However, he stopped just halfway.
He thought, if I pursue the case more closely, shouldn't I let her know that I went to Tan Zi's place to confront her? If she goes back to say something to Tan Jun and I question her again, won't more "twigs" be added out of thin air?
never mind! The less trouble, the better.
Yang Zhen turned to Wang Dan, and it was more reliable to talk to his father.
