"Peering into the palace?" Shen Cha raised an eyebrow and pulled Shen Haolin back to sit down, "Spying on the palace, right?"
"Whether it's peeping or monitoring, there's no difference, it's just a different statement." Qing Yuanhui put the portrait away, placed it in a small wooden box, and placed the small wooden box on the small coffee table next to Shen Haolin. "Since the prince opened his palace, many people have been cramming into the palace under various pretexts. Once a group of people are cleared out, a new group will come in. Their methods are becoming more and more sophisticated, and they are becoming less and less easy to detect. Take a peek at the palace Yes, they all have some skills on their bodies. They are not caught so easily. It took us some time to catch their little tails. After these guys were caught, some confessed the mastermind behind the scenes, and some even Gritting his teeth and not saying a word. It was the same sentence. It didn't matter whether he said it or not. Some of them were taken by people who opposed the prince, and a small part were the work of foreigners. But what surprised us was that there was actually something in it. There are people from Chi Mansion.”
"Have you ever asked him in person?" Bai Meng looked at His Highness Prince Ning, then at Qing Yuanhui, "Ask Mr. Chige why he sent people to monitor the palace."
"I asked." Qing Yuanhui nodded, "I said I was worried about the prince's safety. After all, there are so many people with ulterior motives in the prince's palace. If something unexpected happens, they can help in time."
"...Do you believe this?" Bai Meng looked at these two people with disgust, "If you tell it to ghosts, they won't believe it, right?"
"Commander, who hasn't had a period when he was young and ignorant and was deceived, right?" Qing Yuanhui shrugged, "Old Chi was the prince's husband at the time, and he cared about the prince far more than Chi Hong." He looked at Looking at everyone, they smiled helplessly, "You have all seen what Chi Hong's attitude is towards the prince. He has always believed that it was our prince who robbed his father and the love his father should have for him."
"It can be seen that if Mr. Chi Ge's true identity has not been exposed, I can accept his statement." Bai Meng nodded, and he looked at Qing Yuanhui seriously, "Wait a minute, what I just said I have a question for you. What kind of existence are you in Prince Ning’s Mansion, or in front of His Highness Prince Ning?”
"A staff member or a retainer!" Qing Yuanhui smiled at Bai Meng, "Does the commander-in-chief suspect that I have evil intentions towards the prince?"
"That's not the case." Bai Meng denied, "We just don't know the relationship between the eldest young master and the prince, and we are just curious about the eldest young master speaking on behalf of the prince. If there is any offense, I apologize."
"Xiao Hui is my trump card. Many people don't know it. They think he is just close to the two Wang brothers and has a good relationship."
"I also have a good relationship with Prince Wu's Mansion." Qing Yuanhui bared his teeth, "And Prince Wu..." He looked at His Highness Prince Ning, "and he only listens to your words."
"Only these seemingly unreachable relationships can make some people in the dark relax their vigilance and lower their vigilance."
"What the prince said is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We have to spend more efforts to deal with them in order to stay ahead of them. Otherwise..." Qing Yuanhui sighed heavily, "We can only be beaten by others. The feeling of being led by the nose is very unpleasant, and I don’t want to experience it again.”
Shen Cha and Shen Haolin looked at each other. They agreed with Qing Yuanhui's statement. Seriously speaking, their current situation must be better than that of more than ten years ago, but the situation is still very serious and they are not sure. , before the truth comes out, what accidents will happen, and will they fall into the other party's trap? Caution and caution are the only things they can do.
"This..." Shen Cha patted the small wooden box, "We will take a good look at it. Now let's return to our original question, the evidence of the Chi family's smuggling of salt and iron. I heard that the eldest son saw it with his own eyes and refused to cooperate with him. The second young master of the Chi family is visiting again."
"Xiaokan said that, right?" Qing Yuanhui smiled and poured hot tea for everyone in the room, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."
"What did you see?"
"It's like this. We didn't have much contact with the Chi family at first, but old man Chi took away the relationship between Prince Dai and King Wu and said that Chi Er wanted to learn to do business. Our Daxia did not explicitly prohibit officials from doing business, and Chi Er was in name only, dispensable, and rarely went to the Yamen. Therefore, Prince Dai and King Wu just turned a blind eye and acquiesced, letting Chi Er come to me. What about me? , for the sake of the two princes, I agreed. Later, I also told our prince in advance. The prince said that since the Chi family had Chi Hong, life for Chi Da and Chi Er was not easy. Since they If you want to do business, just help him."
"Yes, that's what I said." His Highness Prince Ning nodded, "But after taking him twice, Xiao Hui said that Chi Er was not very honest. On the surface, he said he was doing business, but in fact he was doing private business. In the business of selling salt and iron, he saw Chi Hong secretly hiding a large amount of salt on the carriage that he said was silk. Also, each of the Chi family's guards had more than three handfuls in their luggage. The broadsword."
"The accompanying guards of the Chi family? Are there many of them?"
"There were about less than twenty people. Because there were so few people, it was strange to be wearing so many weapons. I saw the salt hidden on the carriage where the silk was placed. I saw it with my own eyes. It should not have been discovered. , his guard made a mistake and broke a bag, and the salt inside the bag leaked out. "
"Hasn't the eldest son been discovered?"
"No, I was hiding in the shadows so they couldn't see me. Moreover, because of his guilty conscience, Chi Er always chose to do this kind of thing in the dead of night. If I hadn't drank too much water before going to bed that day, I wouldn't have woken up. Just to make it easier, I heard the movement in the yard and thought some thief was coming, so I went over and took a look, but I couldn’t see such a wonderful scene at all.”
"When Xiaohui came back and told me, I didn't really believe it. Chi Er was not as honest as his elder brother, but he wouldn't do such a thing that violated the law. I said, what if he was kidnapped? Someone framed it, right? At that time, Xiaohui only saw it and did not investigate in depth. I think we should be cautious and investigate clearly, so as not to wish for a good person. "
"It's a pity that the prince was sent to the imperial mausoleum and imprisoned before we could wait for the results of the investigation." Qing Yuanhui patted His Highness Prince Ning, "Fortunately, it's not too late. Those who have done bad things will be punished sooner or later. He deserves his due retribution.”
His Highness Prince Ning didn't say anything. He looked at the small wooden box on the table and sighed quietly. He hadn't been feeling particularly good recently. He always felt that it was still very deep and there were many things they didn't know. At the same time, he felt vaguely Yoyo felt danger, and this danger seemed to be around her.
He looked at the few people who were chatting happily and decided not to tell them this feeling for the time being. He would wait and see what would happen next, so as not to worry these children who cared about him.
