Lin Jinyan thanked her for a while before leaving with her entourage.
Chu Chengye sat back in the carriage, raised the corner of the curtain and looked at Lin Jinyan's walking back, and his irritable mood was relieved.
As soon as he returned to his home, his confidant Han Shu came to send a message. Chu Chengye said in confusion:
"You said the thief who stole Lin Jinyan's silver bag entered Taihe Restaurant?"
Han Shu: "Yes, the people sent to chase him saw the man entering Taihe Restaurant. Because it was His Highness's place, they didn't rush in and just stayed outside to watch."
"Taihe Restaurant...did you run there by chance in a panic, or did you go directly?"
Han Shu: "The people who chased him came back and said that the thief didn't go any further and went straight to the restaurant. It didn't look like a coincidence."
Chu Chengye frowned in confusion: "He sent a thief to steal Lin Jinyan's money bag? What is he going to do?"
Chu Chengyao, who was being considered by Chu Chengye, was on his way to a private meeting with Zhou Yuexue.
In the swaying carriage, Zhong Yi still sat upright.
"How is Guo Qiucheng?"
Zhong Yi looked at Chu Chengyao who had his eyes closed and was concentrating, and spoke respectfully:
"According to your instructions, he was notified early. He sneaked out before dawn and stayed at the Tailai Inn where the Crown Princess was marrying. Even if His Highness the Third Prince found anything, he would only think that Guo Qiucheng belonged to the Crown Prince. people."
Chu Chengyao slowly opened his eyes: "Tell him, it's better to be careful and don't let anyone find you. Send him more money so that he can live in peace of mind. Recently, due to the investigation of the salt tax, there has been news in Kyoto Come on, I’ll send him out of the city in a few days.”
Warmth appeared in Zhong Yi's eyes: "Yes."
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Guo Qiucheng managed to sneak into His Highness the Third Highness, and then exposed him just because His Highness was scolded by Concubine Xian. Isn't it such a loss?"
Chu Chengyao smiled and said: "How can my father not know what Concubine Xian knows? Now that my brother has disappointed my father, there is no guarantee that my father will not have other thoughts in his heart. Although this is not a big deal, it is enough to let him down. Father is displeased."
Zhong Yi: "The other princes have made mistakes one after another, which will make His Highness more valuable. If things go on like this, His Majesty's heart will shift towards His Highness."
Chu Chengyao said in an appreciative tone: "You are getting better and better."
Never sleep.
An Zhixian, who was drinking tea with his guests, saw Feng Xiaoran wandering leisurely near him. Although he was smiling, An Zhixian still saw anxiety in his eyes the moment he looked at her.
Seeing Feng Xiaoran go upstairs, An Zhixian calmly joked with the guest and followed him upstairs.
Opening the door, Feng Xiaoran came forward and An Zhixian closed the door slowly:
"What happened?"
Feng Xiaoran took out the secret letter in her arms: "Tianji Sect discovered that the Xue family has a treasure house. Only the head of the Xue family and his two sons know about it. The emperor's spies will find out in about three days. This matter."
An Zhixian read it carefully: "So much money? It means that the Xue family has been rich for several generations before they can save such a large fortune."
Feng Xiaoran: "This treasure house is in Jizhou, which is adjacent to Zhangzhou, Xiangzhou, and Binzhou. As long as the news spreads, the emperor, the second prince, the third prince, and the Wanyuan Sect will all want a piece of the pie. If you want, you have to hurry up."
An Zhixian thought deeply: "It's good to choose a place. This treasure house is not within any one force, but it is adjacent to several forces. If there is a slight movement, Mingye Pavilion, Tianji Sect, Wanyuan Sect, and the Han family's town... The Western Army and Prefect Cui of Binzhou will get wind of it, and even if they are discovered, the confrontation between several parties will give the Xue family time to move."
