Chapter 171 Fallen Wild Goose

Li Xiaoyao leaned on the couch, slowly drank a cup of red date soup, and carefully tasted the letter just sent from a long time. The eldest prince put the snake in a box and sent it to Prime Minister Lin's house. So it seems that the eldest prince and Prime Minister Lin have contact from time to time, so what is the purpose of sending the snake to Lin's house? Tell Prime Minister Lin that he was assassinated again, and then what? Did you ask Prime Minister Lin to investigate the assassination and the people behind the scenes? Is Prime Minister Lin already his best? No! Li Xiaoyao sat up straight and intuitively denied his idea. If Prime Minister Lin has really been attached to the eldest prince, then it is the most favorable for the eldest prince to hide his tacit understanding with Prime Minister Lin. This assassination can't be done without taking evidence to tell Prime Minister Lin like this, even if he wants to pass it on to Lin. The Prime Minister knows that he can't send it so blatantly! Besides, the eldest prince pretends to be a virtuous scribe and the benevolent and righteous lord who loves the people. At this time, he has not yet ascended to the treasure. He must not be instructing the appearance of a country to investigate such a thing. There are many people around him who do such things!

Li Xiaoyao seemed to remember something and suddenly turned his head to look at Haitang and ordered, "Let's see if Xi'an has come back. If he comes back, let him come to see me." Haitang went out to spread the message. There was not much about it. Xi'an reported it. Li Xiaoyao retreated to Haitang and looked at Xi'an and asked, "Is there anything special about your snake?" If someone saw the snake, how would they guess?

"There is nothing special about it. The snake is a kind of snake born at the foot of the snowy mountain in the far north. It has two advantages. First, it bites people and attacks very quickly, and second, it is more resistant to the cold than ordinary snakes. In Taipingfu, if it is an ordinary snake, although it is not stiff and slower, it is much slower to move, but the snake is as flexible as usual. " Xi'an explained in detail, and Li Xiaoyao quickly asked, "Are there many people who can recognize this snake? Does this snake come from Peiping at a glance?

"It's not much, but there are many. There are many people around the eldest prince, and they must be able to recognize it. This snake is only produced at the foot of the snow mountain. Under the rule of Peiping, of course, there will be more in Beiping, but there are also many people outside. The snake's gallbladder and heat-clearing effect is particularly good, and many people have bought medicine." Xi'an hurriedly explained that Li Xiaoyao breathed a long sigh of relief, withdrew Xi'an and leaned back to the pillow. It seemed that the eldest prince sent the dead snake to Prime Minister Lin to sue! It must be like this. Li Xiaoyao shook his feet excitedly. The snake came from the snowy mountains under the rule of Beiping. In the court of Wu, Wu Guifei was Su Zicheng's mother-in-law! He sent the snake into Lin's mansion to tell Prime Minister Lin that Wu Guifei used this despicable method again. In addition to this, he also wanted to tell Prime Minister Lin that Wu Guifei and Beiping were in collusion! What a good scheming!

In the evening, Mrs. An sent a woman to visit Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao half lay on the couch and thanked Mrs. An gratefully. The woman took the heavy purse and went back satisfied to convey Li Xiaoyao's gratitude. The next day, Li Xiaoyao asked the shopkeeper Sun to go to Yan Mansion with a generous gift to thank him as a came. The sick and orphan girl from the remote border town has to report every drop of love for Yanfu.

When the sun set and the twilight enveloped the Taiping Mansion, he hurried in for a long time and inquired about Luo Yan's letter. Li Xiaoyao gave him three days, and he had to come back no matter how late he was today.

"•••••• First, I walked around the other courtyard for more than a day. The servants and women on duty outside were all hired by the dentists. I didn't know, but the mother-in-law in the inner courtyard didn't come out again. She was so anxious. Miss Luoyan took people out into the city and went to Caiyunfang to make clothes. The girl knew Dao, there are our people in Caiyunfang, which is easy, but after losing some food and tea, she made a lot of words. There is a woman next to Miss Luo Yan, surnamed Du. When Miss Luoyan was young, she brought her out with a little girl named Jin Huan, and then followed Qian Fuze to the Taiping Mansion. Mrs. Du is old. , her mouth was particularly broken. I heard her say that when Luo Yan and Qian Fuze just treated her, Qian Fuze treated her simply Baiyi Qianshun. Even in the days when she first arrived in Taiping Mansion, it was also good. Miss Luo Yan said that she would not enter the house, and Qian Fuze also let her do her to live in another courtyard for seven or eight days before she go home. She stayed home for one night. Second Early in the morning, he rushed back to the other hospital, but the second time he went back changed. After eight and a half, Qian Fuze arrived at the other hospital and threw away 50 taels of silver. Without saying a few words, he immediately rushed back. Since then, he hasn't been to the other hospital much. He said that Qian Fuze's wife gave him a new concubine. He was only 14 years old. A beautiful clean man."

Li Xiaoyao was like listening to a book. He looked at the long-term and asked, "Isn't it that Qian Fuze's wife is jealous and fierce? When her concubine enters the door, she has to beat twenty sticks to lose her temper first? Why did you give Qian Fujina a concubine? Looking at Li Xiaoyao in the long run, he quickly explained, "I asked someone to inquire about the Qian family. Qian Fuze's wife is the daughter of another big merchant Shen family. This jealousy is fierceness and Shen's former reputation. I heard that later practiced Buddhism and realized that the previous disadvantages have changed. Now the reputation outside is getting better and better day by day. Filial piety to parents-in-law, virtuousness and generousness, kindness and so on. Good words have almost taken up all. In the past four or five years of repentance, Qian Fuze has carried four concubines into the door. Looking at Li Xiaoyao from a long distance, he continued meaningfully and said, "Shen didn't say anything before repented. Since she began to be virtuous, she first took home the six concubines raised by Qian Fuze outside. In addition to these ten concubines, including Luoyan, Qian Fuze himself accepted three more, a total of 13 concubines, and now there are three in the house. One of them is dying, and there is a falling geese outside. Li Xiaoyao was stunned and took a few breaths before saying, "Where are the people?"

"Five died, three ran away, and one monk."

"Don't Qian Fuze care about these concubines? Where is Shen's parents-in-law?"

"Qian Fuze now respects his wife. Qian Fuze's mother died young, and his father is also extremely romantic. Every year or two, he had to carry a concubine into the door. The year before yesterday, he was paraplegic. I heard that he couldn't even speak clearly, and the concubines in the courtyard were all scattered."

Li Xiaoyao exhaled gently and couldn't speak for a moment. Only such a Qian family could have such a Shen family. Li Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, but he didn't have time to sigh. He stared for a moment and asked, "Is Luo Yan going to wear spring clothes or summer clothes?"

"They are all spring clothes, and I haven't made any summer clothes. He said that I don't know what kind of material style is suitable at this time. I'll go to see it in a month or two."

"How many spring clothes have you made? Are they all the latest patterns?"

"I made three skirts, two short skirts, and the patterns are all the latest."

Li Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. She really saw this Luoyan right! Li Xiaoyao had a smile on the corners of his mouth. While jumping off the bed neatly, he urgently ordered the long-term: "Get out of the city quickly! I'm going to talk to Miss Luoyan for tea tonight! Let Xi'an prepare something. Don't let people disturb us drinking tea and talking this night!" After a long-term consternation, the fifth master's ideas changed too fast, and inexplicable ideas emerged one after another. It's really a while! Returning to slander, he still simply agreed and hurriedly withdrew to pick people to prepare a car, take some medicine to lock a response to people and things. Li Xiaoyao called Danyue and Haitang in, picked a green brocade tight short jacket, a green embroidered orchid gauze skirt, put it on and looked at the mirror, ordered Danyue to take a jewelry box, picked up a moist and transparent wide bracelet and put it on. Begonia took a dark green silk-faced gray rat cloak for Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao wrapped in a cloak, hurried out of the weeping door and rushed out of the city gate.

Xi'an urged the horse to run all the way, and finally rushed out of the gate before the gate closed. Out of the city, the group stopped the carriages and horses, and ran slowly to the bottom of Baiyun Mountain.

Li Xiaoyao got out of the car and looked up at the round moon in the sky. The moon was full of stars. It was really not a good day to kill and set fire. Alas, there was no way. I really couldn't wait. Li Xiaoyao put on the black gauze cap in his hand, followed Nanning, followed the corner of the tree shadow wall, and quietly entered the falling geese from the back corner door. The other hospital where I live.

Every occasional weak insect sound can be heard quietly in the yard. Xi'an dodged from behind the corner door and made a gesture to signal that it was ready. Li Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and straightened up. Nanning led forward, Xi'an and Changyuan guarded him, and went straight to the main house where Luoyan lived.

There are very few lanterns in the yard, only a red lantern hanging in the middle of the main eaves. Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked around. There were no birds, no flowers and plants. This yard is surprisingly simple, alas! How luxurious the Red Mansion was back then! Nanning stood under the steps of the main house and turned his head to ask Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao shook his hand at him and motioned everyone to hide. He took his skirt and went up the steps. He raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.

"Come in." Luo Yan's voice was very peaceful. Li Xiaoyao reached out and pushed the door, crossed the threshold with her skirt, and was about to close the door. Xi'an flashed into the door like a wisp of black smoke. In a blink of an eye, he didn't know where he was hiding. Li Xiaoyao raised his hand in the air, blinked his eyes, then closed the door, turned his head and looked around. There was no light in the room, and the east wing The curtain hung high, and the light shone on the main room, but it was also clearly visible. The house was fully furnished, and there were bottles of blooming peach blossoms on several cases under the middle hall. There was nothing else to decorate. After looking around, Li Xiaoyao slowly walked over to the east wing.

There is a low couch under the window of the east wing. The curtain behind the couch is drooping, and the yellow light gently shakes, making the room warm and peaceful. Luo Yan is dressed in peach-style clothes and has loose hair. She is lowering her head and holding a pen and carefully tracing something. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she does not look up. She only asked calmly, "What's the matter? For such a long time?"
