It's said to be a ghost market, but it's actually just a small market, but the things inside are things you can't see in a normal market.
After Di Xue and Chu Ran went in, they looked for Liu Zhi who was responsible for giving information to King Qi.
Only after seeing it clearly did I understand the reason for his nickname. It turned out that it was not because he had six fingers on one hand, but because he had four fingers cut off due to gambling in his early years.
There are only six left in both hands.
"You two are the noble people His Highness King Qi calls you, right?"
He looked up and down at Di Xue and Chu Ran with six fingers, and then said.
Di Xue nodded: "Take us to see the person selling the boxes that day!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ran threw a piece of silver to Liu Zhi, and then Liu Zhi took the two of them to an inconspicuous small stall.
"Boy, this is the person who sold that box at that time."
After Liu Zhi said that, Di Xue and Chu Ran used money to trick out the information about the small traders.
It turned out that the box was not his, but a man came to the ghost market to sell it to him. He said that as long as he released the news about getting the box, he would be able to sell it for a high price, and he would also pay him part of the money.
So the vendor followed the instructions and publicized in the ghost market that he had got a treasure box.
Sure enough, the box was sold before long, and the man agreed to give himself the money.
However, he felt a little uneasy about this job. After all, it was too easy to make money, not to mention that he knew that it was King Qi who bought the box.
So he secretly followed the original owner of the box, only to find that this person ended up in Li Yong's mansion.
After hearing this, Di Xue looked at Chu Ran and saw that it was Li Yong who was causing trouble.
After leaving the ghost market, the two returned to their mansion to rest.
Di Xue and Chu Ran were left behind by the emperor after the morning court session on the second day.
"Di Aiqing, I have thought about your plan. As long as I can save Qingyang from the sea of suffering, I am willing to do it."
After Emperor Chu Yun finished speaking, he changed the subject:
"But you two have to be careful, and there must be no mistakes at this time, otherwise I will really have trouble sleeping and eating, and I may become a sinner of the Soochow Kingdom!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will do my best to solve this matter. I just want to aggrieve the princess!"
After Di Xue finished speaking, the emperor's expression softened:
"This is also a helpless move. To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell. Maybe this is what Qingyang should experience."
Then Di Xue and Chu Ran said some more words of loyalty, and then the emperor let them go.
After leaving the palace, Dixue and Chu Ran hurried back to Dali Temple because Han Shu came to report that Minister Zhao was fine and awake.
"I'm afraid the person behind Minister Zhao is also Li Yong. If not, he wouldn't deliberately retaliate against Wanbaozhai."
After Di Xue finished speaking, Chu Ran nodded:
"Maybe we have to find a way to get him to talk."
"Why do you think Minister Zhao killed his daughter to slander Feng Zining?"
"Maybe he wants to become the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, or maybe he wants to draw Feng Shangshu into Li Yong's camp."
Although Chu Ran's words were straightforward, the truth was very likely to be the case. If he wanted to pry open Zhao Shilang's mouth at this time, he would have to lose his confidence in his backer.
As the two of them were talking, they saw a team of envoys from the South Vietnam Kingdom coming towards them. There were all kinds of silks and satins on the cars, as well as many specialties from the Soochow Kingdom. Di Xue took a look and understood that today was the day when the envoys were leaving Beijing. Got days.
It seems that the princess's plan is about to begin.
"The things you asked me to prepare have been sent to the palace. We just need His Majesty's consent to start."
After Chu Ran said this, Di Xue nodded, and then the two of them walked towards Dali Temple.
I saw Minister Zhao sitting on a chair supported by Han Shu.
"You're fine, Minister Zhao. You're used to living in Dali Temple!"
After Di Xue finished speaking, Minister Zhao did not answer, and she was not annoyed, but continued:
"Young Master, there is no need to rush to speak. I have plenty of time here, but you have to weigh clearly what silence will bring to you!"
As soon as Di Xue finished speaking, Zhang Ying came running in and said:
"My lord, please come out and take a look. Something happened in the palace!"
"What's going on?" Chu Ran asked before Di Xue could speak.
"Something happened in Jingyang Palace. There was a fire in the palace. It is said that the Queen Mother's spiritual place was burned!"
Di Xue nodded after hearing this and followed Chu Ran outside the house. At this time, Zhao Shilang inside the house obviously realized something and his face turned pale.
Then he reluctantly got up and went outside the house and asked Zhang Ying:
"Are you sure the fire started in Jingyang Palace?"
Zhang Ying nodded: "Why should I lie about this kind of thing? I just don't know how the princess is doing."
After receiving the affirmative answer, Minister Zhao sat aside thoughtfully, looking very decadent.
In the evening, notices were posted in the city, and everyone knew the cause of the fire in Jingyang Palace.
Princess Qingyang was pampered, out of control, and acted recklessly. She set fire to the house dedicated to the Queen Mother, causing damage to the Queen Mother's spiritual position.
However, the princess refused to repent afterwards and said that she was not wrong. The emperor was so angry that he had the princess imprisoned.
However, it didn't take long for a derogatory edict to shock the whole country again.
Princess Qingyang has been deposed as a commoner and will soon be taken out of the palace and moved to another place.
For a time, the ministers wrote letters to persuade His Majesty, but Chu Yun seemed to be determined and rejected all the details in the letter.
Everyone spread rumors that Chu Yun knelt in front of the destroyed spiritual tablet all night, and then killed Princess Qingyang in grief.
Those who tried to persuade him were also reprimanded and warned by Chu Yun, and for a while no one dared to write a letter anymore.
The most depressed person during this period was undoubtedly Li Yong. Chu Yun canceled his engagement because Chu Yurao was not the princess of Soochow.
Then he rewarded him with some gold and silver and sent it away. No matter how Li Yong wrote to the emperor, he just ignored it.
In the past two days, Di Xue also deliberately arranged for Zhang Ying to reveal this information to Minister Zhao. As expected, he couldn't sit still.
He took the initiative to meet Di Xue, and after the two met, they got straight to the point.
Minister Zhao also knew that Li Yong was only at the end of his battle at this time.
So he told how he was instructed by Li Yong to do such a thing.
It turns out that he has been working diligently these years.
He loved fishing in his spare time, but his wife couldn't bear such a poor life, so she divorced him and remarried.
However, his daughter Zhao Yufeng has become extremely sensitive and paranoid since losing her mother.
Especially after he fell in love with Feng Shaoning, he became even more paranoid and unreasonable. All kinds of behaviors made Zhao Shilang lose his face in Yuanjing, and it seemed that there was no hope of promotion.
However, Li Yong came to him and said that as long as Feng Shangshu, the current Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was allowed to enter his camp and he had the handle, wouldn't Zhao Shilang become prosperous in the Ministry of Industry from now on?
And as long as Feng Shangshu loses value, Zhao Shilang can be replaced at any time.
Zhao Shilang was persuaded, so he and Li Yong formulated a plan against Feng Shaoning.
However, an unplanned factor led to Di Xue's appearance at the hunting scene, which led to the revelation of the matter.
However, after Di Xue handed these information to the emperor, a more urgent matter summoned her and Chu Ran to go.
The South Vietnamese delegation was in danger at the border of Soochow!
