In Feiyun Garden, Concubine Yun picked up the tea cup, slowly stirred the floating tea leaves with the cup lid, and said calmly: "Today, there are so many people with their heads raised waiting for you to contact us, but not a single person can be seen. Today.

If there is no explanation for this matter, there is no need for you to leave the palace."

Chen Ji thought quickly: Liu Shiyu of the Liu family has a close relationship with Concubine Jing, why did he not choose to contact Concubine Jing instead of Concubine Yun?

Why does Concubine Jing not know her identity as a Jing Chao spy?

etc.

Chen Ji suddenly remembered the lead-barium glass that caused Concubine Jing to miscarry, as if there was a clue guiding him to pursue the truth.

"Why don't you answer?" Concubine Yun asked in a deep voice. The dignified princess was sitting on the imperial chair, with the python pattern on her body as if staring at Chen Ji, showing no anger or authority.

Chen Ji whispered: "A big event happened in the Liu family, and the secret agents Jiaotu and Yunyang almost found out the clues, so for the sake of safety, we temporarily suspended the plan."

In fact, he went to Zhou Chengyi's house that night to tell Zhou Chengyi the delivery date, but he was killed by Yunyang and White Rabbit.

There are traces of resurrection from the dead, I had no idea such a thing existed.

Concubine Yun said in a calm tone: "The Military Intelligence Department of Jingchao arbitrarily annulled things agreed by both parties. This explanation alone is not enough. Have you thought about how to answer it, or should you just use it as fertilizer in my back garden?"

Chen Ji suddenly said: "The Secret Intelligence Department is in Luo City and is a threat to both of us. Madam, since you are willing to show your sincerity, of course our Military Intelligence Department must also show our strength. Yun Yang and Jiao Tu are in jail today.

, is the plan of our Director of Military Intelligence, I wonder if Madam is satisfied with it?"

Concubine Yun's eyes lit up: "It turns out that the person who sent the letter was actually from your Military Intelligence Department. Who is that director? Not only did he place spies in the Secret Intelligence Department, but he also had the ability to sneak into the Liu family quietly.

!”

Chen Ji was shocked. Concubine Yun knew the full story of what happened in the morning in the afternoon, which meant that the Liu family maintained close contact with her.

He lowered his eyes and said: "Master Si Cao is naturally the leader of our Military Intelligence Department. The head of the Department sent him here to ensure smooth cooperation between the two parties."

Concubine Yun's demeanor was no longer majestic at this time, but much gentler: "When I met you earlier, I saw that your Military Intelligence Department sent a young man to contact me, and he was a little neglectful of you. However, in Wanxing Garden, you

I have proven that I am not a loser. Very good, since all the spies of the Military Intelligence Department in Los Angeles are elite, I can rest assured."

Chen Ji thought for a moment and replied: "Now that Yun Yang and Jiao Tu are in jail, before the new head of the Secret Service arrives in Luo City, we can ensure that our transaction is foolproof. Madam, please re-plan the date and date of the transaction.

The location."

Concubine Yun glanced at him twice: "Then let's do it tomorrow night, at the same place we agreed on last time."

Chen Ji didn't know where the last agreement was and how to tell Si Cao, so he immediately said: "No, our Military Intelligence Department never does business twice in the same place... Please give me a new address by Concubine Yun."

"You are cautious enough," Concubine Yun thought for a while: "This time, we will go to the 'Jinfang' in Hongyi Lane, Dongshi. Find the old bustard and say the word 'Luotian', and she will take you to the place where the goods are hidden.

"

At this time, Chen Ji thought about it again and again, and after weighing the pros and cons, he finally asked about his confusion: "Madam, there is something that we in the Military Intelligence Department have always been puzzled about."

Without grasping the whole situation, he will never be able to take the initiative.

Concubine Yun picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Please speak."

"We found out that Liu Shiyu is Concubine Jing's favorite nephew and the only son of her biological sister. The reason why our company didn't believe that he would send a message on your behalf was because we were a little confused. Why didn't he contact Concubine Jing?"

Concubine Yun chuckled and said, "My good sister, the Liu family can't control her, so how dare they leave the great cause in her hands? Now that the Liu family and I have common interests, you don't have to worry too much."

Chen Ji stood up: "Then I will..."

"Wait a minute," Concubine Yun said.

Chen Ji was confused: "What else does Madam have to do?"

Concubine Yun smiled and invited: "Your Majesty is holding a literary gathering tonight, and your two brothers will also attend. Why don't I send a few invitations to the hospital, and you brothers can go together."

Chen Ji thought for a moment: "No need, my status is sensitive now and I don't want to implicate them. I still need to arrange the handover of goods today, so I'll take my leave now."

When Chen Ji left Feiyun Garden, he looked back at the persimmon tree, then turned and left.

…

…

On the official road of Luocheng, a carriage came from the north.

The body of the car is simple, and there are only two entourages following the car on horseback, making it very low-key.

At this time, hundreds of people were approaching on the official road opposite the carriage.

When they came closer, they saw the Yuzhou officials getting off their sedans and horses one after another, and hurriedly came to the carriage and knelt down and saluted: "I would like to welcome you back to Yuzhou. I apologize for the delay in greeting you from afar."

The Liu family has been running this state for hundreds of years, and now controls more than half of the land and tenants in Yuzhou.

No matter who comes to Yuzhou to serve as an official, if he wants to successfully collect taxes, collect corvees, and achieve political achievements, he must look at the Liu family's face.

Therefore, except for a very small number of aristocratic family members who come to gild, all the officials will kneel down to welcome you. Only if you kneel can the Yuzhou officialdom tolerate you. If you don't kneel, it will be difficult to move forward.

Mr. Liu Ge opened the curtain and glanced at the officials who were kneeling on the ground indifferently: "My father has passed away. I really don't want to reminisce with you. Let's all leave."

After that, the carriage started slowly again. An official came close to the carriage, trotted to keep up with the carriage, and whispered to Mr. Liu Ge behind the curtain: "Mr. Ge, the uncle and the second master are waiting for you at home."

But I heard Liu Ge Lao order: "I will go to the ancestral grave and ask Liu Mingming to come see me."

The carriage went all the way to Beimang Mountain. Mr. Liu Ge stood in front of the broken mausoleum and watched dozens of strong men carrying new stones and building a new mausoleum.

I don't know how long he stood in front of the tomb.

But Liu Mingming looked in a hurry and ran to Mr. Liu Ge and knelt down: "Father!"

He didn't say anything and just let his son kneel.

It was only when Liu Mingming's knees hurt and he couldn't help but move his body that Elder Liu asked leisurely: "After I die, will my coffin be opened for autopsy?"

Liu Mingming quickly lowered his head: "Father, absolutely not!"

Liu Ge Laoping retreated everyone and went down the mountain. He lifted up his robe and sat on a stone. He said slowly: "Liu Mingming, today you killed your grandfather for the great cause you talked about. Who knows that you won't kill him for the great cause tomorrow?"

Should I kill him too?"

There was no one on the mountain. Liu Mingming fell to the ground and remained silent.

Mr. Liu Ge angrily shouted: "Speak!"

Liu Mingming hurriedly explained: "Father, that was not my intention. Originally, I used the death of my grandfather to force me to withdraw from the Secret Service. Yun Yang and Jiao Rabbit are only good at killing people but have no brains. They will retreat after being scared. How can I imagine that?

They actually found evidence of Liu Shiyu's crime."

"Then why did you kill your grandfather?"

"We received intelligence that the Secret Service was on its way to open the coffin for an autopsy. If they found out that there was no one in the coffin, my Liu family would be guilty of deceiving the king! So I found 'Mandala flowers' to feed Grandpa.

Now, as long as he pretends to be dead in the coffin for a while, I never imagined that grandpa was too old to be able to withstand the effects of Datura and passed away."

Boss Liu Ge was furious: "Why don't you tell the truth? It's obvious that your grandfather disapproved of your hooking up with Jing Chao, so you took this opportunity to kill him without stopping! Liu Mingming, you are too unscrupulous. I didn't expect that."

Ah, I actually raised a man-eating wolf for the Liu family!"

Liu Mingming suddenly raised his head, with a ferocious look in his eyes: "Father, your Majesty has been deliberately trying to get rid of our Liu family since he came to the throne. First, he borrowed the help of the Donglin Party to impeach the Yushi Yanguan, and now he instigated

The eunuchs are slandering us, and they won’t stop until they get rid of us!”

"Father, twenty years ago, all the people in the government and the public were members of my Liu family. Now, we can't even keep our official positions in Yuzhou. You don't know that the Chen family sent Chen Liqin to act as Luocheng magistrate.

The old man Gong Na sent his son-in-law Zhang Zhuo to be the magistrate of Luocheng. The two men worked together and vowed to investigate the land and tenants of my Liu family."

"Father, I'm going to give it a go. If I sit back and wait for death, the Liu family's hundreds of years of foundation will be lost, father!"

The wind in the mountains brought mist, and Mr. Liu Ge sat in the mist, feeling desolate: "You all are not willing to listen to me, why are you asking my father to do anything?"

"I told your aunt that your majesty is very talented and has learned the emperor's mind since he was a child. He cannot control it. But your aunt refused to listen. From the time he ascended the throne at the age of eleven, she took control of the court and prevented him from personally governing. Your majesty

After enduring all the hardships for six years, how could you not hate our Liu family?"

"It is precisely because he hates us that we have no way to survive. If we really fight, we may not be able to defeat him! This world is not owned by his Zhu family!" Liu Mingming said harshly.

Mr. Liu Ge suddenly became depressed: "That's all, I just want to ask you one more question. When you gave your sister that glass, did you know that it would cause her to lose her child?"

Liu Mingming shook his head in denial: "I don't know. That cup is exquisite. I gave it to my sister because I thought she would like it."

"Still lying!" Liu Gelao kicked him to the ground.

Liu Mingming no longer knelt on the ground, but stood up, patted the dust on his body, and stretched out the blue official robe on his body: "Father, after she married into the palace, she only had Prince Jing in her heart, and how could I Liu?

Family? All she thinks about every day is giving birth to a child for Prince Jing. I asked her to work for the Liu family, but she refused, so I stopped her thinking!"

"You are too vicious!"

"Father, am I as vicious as that eunuch? How can I fight with him if I'm not vicious?"

"You..." Liu Ge had the old words on his lips, but he didn't know how to say them out.

He sat on the stone and remained silent for who knows how long. Finally, he sighed softly: "Today Yun Yang and Jing Rabbit are in jail. Who tipped you off?"

Liu Ming's face lit up when he saw his father softening his tone. He knew that the other party was in a high position, so naturally he would not be emotional.

He said respectfully: "My son doesn't know, he is investigating, and he is not sure of the other party's intentions yet."

Mr. Liu Ge looked solemn: "Whether he is an enemy or a friend, I can't sleep with such a person around me. Find it out quickly. I will send people from Yanshi to dispatch you. It will be difficult to use these people. Put you away."

of arrogance.”

"clear."

Mr. Liu Ge waved his hand: "Go, I'm tired."

Liu Mingming turned around and went down the mountain, leaving Liu Ge alone on the mountain.

The old man, who was like a candle in the wind, stood up slowly and supported the coffin in front of the mausoleum: "Father, it has been a long time since you left the Liu family compound to see the world."
