Chapter 328: Secret Memorials Hide Murderous Intent

Jiaofang Division, Pipa Color Music Room Inner Chamber.

Zou Min'er handed over the newly organized secret memorial.

"The secret memorial intelligence about Sun Shaozu has been organized properly. Please check it, Mistress."

The information on the secret memorial was all messages reported by spies planted in various places by the Zhongche Office.

These spies who reported the information had different qualities. Most of them only had a rough understanding of literature, and the angles from which they collected information were different, and the level of detail varied.

It required special personnel to screen, compare, and analyze before they could sort out the complete context of the desired event.

Zou Min'er was born into a noble family, was proficient in literature, and had a delicate mind. After suffering a great disaster, her will and patience became increasingly resilient.

Therefore, she was very suitable for this kind of work, which was both trivial and boring, but also required extremely high literary and wisdom.

Back then, Du Qingniang saved her at the moment of her life and death, and finally introduced her to the Zhongche Office under the identity of a Pipa musician in the Jiaofang Division, which could be considered a discerning eye.

Du Qingniang's eyes flashed when she heard this. She received a message from the palace to investigate the background of a border army descendant in Datong.

"You don't need to follow this secret memorial anymore. I will hand it over to others. In a month, a major criminal will be escorted from Liaodong, involving a major case in Jinling. You will be responsible for coordinating and reporting the secret report."

Du Qingniang saw the first few pages of the secret memorial and asked: "Does this Sun Shaozu also have contact with the Prince Beijing's Mansion?"

This kind of pain of scraping bones could permanently shape and change a person.

"Nine Provinces Commander Minister Gu found corruption in the army in Datong, and this assistant general was involved and imprisoned, but he died suddenly after less than one night in prison, so the matter had no clues."

Du Qingniang looked at Zou Min'er: "Do you understand this person Jia She?"

She didn't expect that after investigating, it was still related to the Rongguo.

She would entrust many things to Zou Min'er for assistance, but she would never let her touch the secret reports flowing out of the Rongguo Jia family.

But Du Qingniang's mind was extraordinary, and she hid strategies in her chest. She naturally could see that when facing that person, the kind of unpredictability and danger on Zou Min'er was heart-wrenching.

Being alone in a room, peeling the cocoon, and discovering the truth could give Zou Min'er a strange sense of satisfaction.

Zou Min'er's expression moved slightly when she heard about the major case in Jinling.

Du Qingniang glanced at Zou Min'er: "It seems that you have put in effort on the population of the Rongguo."

"Yes, our eyes and ears in the restaurant on Hongbei Street recorded that he had a banquet and drank with the long history of the Prince Beijing's Mansion, and he left the Love Shenjing the next day."

"Sun Shaozu also entered and exited a fur shop on Hongbei Street several times. The owner of this shop is Jia She of the Rongguo!"

In fact, she most wanted to contact the secret reports flowing out of the Rongguo, hoping to find the figure of that person from those complicated and scattered trivial matters, and even sort out some dangerous traces.

Zou Min'er said again: "Sun Shaozu suddenly left the Love Shenjing. It is estimated that he returned to Datong because of something."

Only extraordinary people who have experienced life and death can do this kind of extraordinary thing!

When a young lady who was pampered and pampered suddenly became a music prostitute in the Jiaofang Division, and almost became a plaything for the powerful to sleep with.

Zou Min'er replied: "He is Jia Cong's biological father. His personality is lustful and lacks strategy. Since childhood, he has beaten and abused Jia Cong, and the father-son relationship is estranged, just like a stranger."

She knew that this person had an engagement with the young lady of the Rongguo, but because of a dispute, the marriage was called off, and both sides had no obstacles, so she handed the matter to Zou Min'er for coordination.

Zou Min'er continued: "Our people in Datong sent news that Jia She sent people to Datong several times to discuss business, and the person they contacted was an assistant general of the Datong border army."

Du Qingniang looked at the secret memorial and muttered to herself: "Dead without proof!"

Rongguo, Yingchun's Courtyard.

The conversation between Jia Zheng and Jia Mu in the Rongqing Hall didn't take long before everyone in the mansion knew about it.

For the past two days, Feng Jie had arranged for people to help Yingchun tidy up her things.

In the boudoir, Yingchun's clothes, jewelry, books, chess pieces, and other items had been packed into boxes and baskets one after another, neatly stacked on one side.

The maid Xiuju, wearing a red silk jacket and a green satin vest, hummed an unknown tune, busy in the boudoir, helping her young lady tidy up the missing things.

The little girl was in a very good mood these two days, not only because the young lady was moving to the Count's Mansion.

It was also because Cong Sanye Cong had spoken, letting the young lady only take her to the Count's Mansion, and the other maids and women in the room didn't need to follow, as the Cong Sanye had bought appropriate people to serve the young lady.

Because of this, Lianhua hadn't given her a good face for two days.

Of all the maids in the mansion, who didn't want to get close to the Cong Sanye now? He was talented in both civil and military affairs, and he was a count, and he looked so good...

However, these little hoofs were all wishful thinking, and they didn't even look at the girls and maids raised in the Cong Sanye's room, each of them was as beautiful as a fairy, and they weren't even worthy of carrying shoes for others.

Xiuju also thought that the young lady was moving to the Count's Mansion to be the eldest young lady, and the Cong Sanye alone let her follow.

The Cong Sanye must have valued her loyalty to the young lady. I must serve the young lady well, and I won't let the Cong Sanye down.

Thinking of this, Xiuju became more and more proud, and her work became more and more nimble.

Yingchun looked at the happy Xiuju, feeling amused in her heart. Why did she seem happier and more concerned than herself after going to the East Mansion?

That day, Wang Xifeng came to congratulate her, and Yingchun was also very surprised.

That day, Jia Cong moved, and she and her sisters went to the Count's Mansion to play for a day. She also liked the scenery there very much, feeling that it was even better than the West Mansion.

It was just that she had never thought that she would move to the East Mansion to live. Being able to guard by Cong's side and having the protection and reliance of this younger brother, Yingchun was naturally willing.

During this period, Lady Xing came once and said a few words about not going to the East Mansion, and her words were even a bit stiff.

Yingchun had always had a weak personality and had always been a bit afraid of this legitimate mother, but this time, she didn't know why, but with her younger brother supporting her, her courage was strangely big.

She didn't have any panic or fear, just saying that this matter was agreed by the old lady, and asked the Second Sister-in-law to arrange to send her to the East Mansion.

When Lady Xing heard this, she was dumbfounded. The old lady was a mountain-like existence for her, and she had no resistance at all.

Wang Xifeng was her daughter-in-law, but she was never a lamp that saved oil. She took the old lady's momentum, and Lady Xing had no way to deal with her.

Therefore, Lady Xing came once, chattered, and left, and never came again.

Yingchun closed the Song Dynasty chess manual in her hand and just let Xiuju put it away carefully.

Sisters like Daiyu, Seeing Tan Chun, Xichun, and Xiangyun all came to see Yingchun off, and Baoyu followed behind.

For the past two days, Baoyu heard that Yingchun was moving to the East Mansion, and he felt very uncomfortable. The sisters who grew up in the garden, how could they leave so soon?

The Second Sister was not getting married, so why did Jia Cong take her to the East Mansion to live? No one had told him about this beforehand, and she left as soon as she said she would. Baoyu felt very aggrieved in his heart...

He stepped forward and said seriously: "Second Sister, you have lived in the West Mansion for so many years, isn't it good for the sisters to talk and play together every day?"

"Why move to the East Mansion alone? Jia Cong only knows how to be an official, and he is also very boring. You, a delicate daughter, will truly be bored to death with him."

Xiangyun on the side was the most outspoken and said unconvinced: "How can Third Brother Cong be boring? I think he is very interesting. He can write good calligraphy and write good poems. Everyone says he is a great talent;"

"And he has done so many fierce things. Second Brother, Third Brother Cong is the same age as you. If you ask me, you should also study hard and learn about the economic affairs of the official career outside, so that the old man and the mistress will be happy."

Baoyu listened to this with a look of disdain: "Girl, please change the place to say these things, careful that I will defile your knowledge of official career economics."

Shi Xiangyun jumped her eyebrows when she heard Baoyu's retort, refused to admit defeat, and wanted to quarrel with him.

Others let Baoyu have his way, but Xiangyun had been spoiled by Jia Mu since she was a child, so she was not afraid of him. When they were young, they grew up quarreling.

"Third Brother Cong is the Second Sister's own brother, and the relationship is closer than yours. He takes his own sister to the East Mansion to live, what else can others say, hum!"

Baoyu was unconvinced and wanted to quarrel again, but saw Sister Xi Ren looking for him, saying that the old man was looking for him to talk, and the Prince Beijing sent someone to look for him to meet friends.

Baoyu's legs softened by three points when he heard Jia Zheng looking for him, and he followed Sister Xi Ren and left in a hurry. As for the words about the Prince Beijing looking for him to meet friends, he didn't hear them clearly.

The autumn wind is cold in the pond overnight, blowing away the red jade shadows of the lotus.

The knotweed flowers and water chestnut leaves cannot bear the sorrow, and the heavy dew and frost press on the slender stalks.

I don't hear the sound of chess being knocked in the long day, and the swallow mud stains the chessboard.

The ancients cherished parting and pitied friends, let alone me now facing the love of siblings!
