He Ran put on night clothes and hid herself in the dark night. Before arriving, she had seen the map of Prince Jin's Mansion. Yes, Aunt Xing had a map of Prince Jin's Mansion in her hand. Don't ask where this came from. For the big shopkeeper of Jinghong Tower, this was not a big deal at all. According to the map, He Ran found Feng Xueying's residence without any effort. Aunt Xing said that Feng Xueying is very handsome, and so is the King of Jin. Before the rebellion, the two of them often rode white horses and walked side by side on the street, annoying all the girls in Jinyang. The daughter-in-law was so excited that she rushed to throw purses and handkerchiefs at them. Therefore, in He Ran's mind, Feng Jieying has ice-cold muscles and jade bones, red lips and white teeth, a face like a peach blossom, and a body like a willow. Don't ask why Master He gave Feng Xueying such an image. Ask him who allowed him to go in and out with King Jin all day long. What happened to Master He who wanted to think more?
But the Feng Xieying in front of him was different from He Ran's imagination, and even made Master He a little disappointed. Under the dim light, a young man was reading under the lamp with a scroll in his hand. He is not a handsome man, he is handsome at most, but his temperament is gentle, quiet and peaceful. Just one look at him will make people think of the spring breeze in April, warm and gentle, neither cold nor dry. He said: "Mei'er, this book is very suitable for you, go ahead and read it." His voice, like his temperament, is warm and friendly.
Mei'er was a book boy of thirteen or fourteen. He took the book and said with a smile: "You didn't keep any of the three new books sent from the printing shop. You gave them all away." Feng Xieying smiled: "They are all good books. Only good books are worth giving away." Mei'er nodded with a smile and walked out holding the book. The smile on Feng Xueying's lips gradually faded. She sat blankly in front of the desk for a moment. She seemed to have remembered something. She called Mei'er in again and said, "Please pack up. We will go to Fenzhou early tomorrow morning." Mei'er frowned slightly: "Those people in Fenzhou won't listen to you, so you'd better not go. Besides, the lord doesn't care either." "My lord is very busy, so it's impossible to cover everything. Okay, let's go and clean up." Feng Xie's English was gentle, but there was a hint of helplessness. He Ran secretly thought, Fenzhou? Fotou Ridge is in Fenzhou. Did Feng Xueying go to Fenzhou because of the local robbery of young men?
Since Prince Jin is not in the mansion, the old princess is the only master in the mansion. He Ran went to Xiuyuan where the old princess lived. Since the death of the old King Jin, the old princess moved into Xiuyuan and never came out again. It is said that even when King Jin got married, the old princess did not leave the Xiuyuan. There is a Buddhist hall in Xiuyuan, where the old princess eats fasts, chants Buddha's name, and pays no attention to worldly affairs. When He Ran was about to arrive at Xiuyuan, a group of guards happened to be patrolling by. She ducked and hid behind a large tree as thick as an arm's length. The guard passed in front of the big tree, and when He Ran was about to walk out from behind the tree, he suddenly heard subtle voices. The sound seemed to come from the big tree. She put her ear to the tree trunk so that she could hear it more clearly. Unfortunately, it was still intermittent, but she was sure that it was indeed the sound of speaking. This big tree is not marked on the map. Obviously, the mapper did not know that there were secrets in the big tree. I just don’t know how this mechanism was built. The big tree is still alive and full of vitality.
He couldn't stay here for long, so He Ran could only write down this matter secretly and leap into Xiuyuan. There were lights in the show garden. He Ran looked for the lights and walked over. There was the Buddhist hall. A nun in green clothes and a small hat sat cross-legged on the futon, holding Buddhist beads and chanting sutras silently. With the faint light, He Ran could see clearly the nun's face. She was no longer young, and the years had ruthlessly carved deep and shallow marks on her face. And the area exposed under the nun's hat is bald. Is this really a sign of tonsure? And not just dressing up as a nun? Outside the Buddhist hall, a young nun in the same dress was dozing against the wall. They were both fifteen or sixteen years old. She must be the maid of the old princess. She also shaved her head with her master. He Ran looked around. Compared with the lushness in other places in Prince Jin's Mansion, the Xiu Garden was like another world. There were bare trees everywhere, not even a blade of grass. It should not be called Xiuyuan, but should be called Huangyuan instead. There were no guards in Xiuyuan, and except for a few servant girls who had gone to bed, there was no one else. Fortunately, those servant girls still had hair on their heads exposed from under the covers. He Ran didn't stay in Xiuyuan for too long, so she left Jin Prince's Mansion, walked around the street, and returned to the small courtyard where she settled. The next day, news finally came from Prince Jin's palace. It turned out that the reason why Feng Xueying suddenly returned to Jinyang was because Prince Jin was injured in an assassination. Yes, King Jin was assassinated, but this time, the news was well hidden, and it took a lot of effort for Jinghonglou to find out. The last time the King of Jin was attacked, there was such a fuss that the Jin army retreated hundreds of miles. But this time there wasn't even a splash. The last attack may have been directed and staged by King Jin, but this time, it was real. The person who assassinated King Jin was his own soldier! This soldier was from Fenzhou. There were four brothers in his family, and three of them were soldiers. Two of them died in the attack on Pingshan. However, because he was selected to serve as a soldier for the King of Jin, he had never been on the battlefield, so survived. However, not long ago, he got news. The village where his home was located was robbed by officers and soldiers. His old mother fell down when she was pushed and never got up. His 13-year-old brother and 12-year-old sister were taken away by officers and soldiers, and their whereabouts are unknown. The officers and soldiers came to their village to beg for military rations. It is said that as early as ten days ago, the villages had been notified that they were raising military rations. However, their village was too poor to make up the allocated amount, so they came to the village to beg. The so-called begging means going from house to house, digging through rice vats, grabbing whatever you see, and using it all as military rations. The soldier heard about this from his fellow villagers, so he took advantage of his duty and swung his sword at King Jin. The knife missed King Jin's neck and injured his shoulder. The soldier was killed by the guards on the spot. Feng Jieying investigated the matter and found out the soldier's fellow villagers, and then found out the whole story. He Ran recalled the conversation between Feng Xieying and Mei'er and asked, "What's the difference between Fenzhou and other places?" Xinggu said: "There is a difference. Cai Jie, the commander of Fenzhou Guard, is the brother of the old princess and the uncle of Prince Jin. He was cultivated by the old Prince Jin. The entire Fenzhou, including Pingyang, belongs to him. people." He Ran suddenly remembered something. She called Liu Xia and asked, "Is the helper contacted by Master Seventeen also named Cai?" Liu Xia nodded: "Cai Qianhu from Fan County." He Ran sneered: "If you don't clean one house, how can you clean the whole world? Everyone is like this!"
Xing Gu secretly thought, the boss is talking about King Jin, but what about that "all"? Apart from King Jin, who else is like this?
