Chapter 353 Maybe...he still has a chance
The next day, Shen Mingjiao and his party left the inn and entered Xianyang City.
Since you want to enter the Xianyang County Governor's Mansion openly and aboveboard, you have to figure out what identity you will use to enter, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the prince who is hiding in the dark.
The servant girl's servant status is too low, too passive. Pretending to be a distant relative is even more unacceptable, not to mention that this trick has already been used in Jingzhou, and it will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism in such a sensitive time period.
After much deliberation, I decided to start with the daily preferences of Xianyang County Sheriff.
…
The Xianyang County Sheriff's Mansion is still heavily guarded. In the past few days, the atmosphere in the mansion has been unspeakably weird. The maids and servants met their eyes, or gathered together to whisper together, as if some serious gossip had happened.
This matter started a few days ago. One morning a few days ago, there was a scream in the study room in the front yard. Immediately afterwards, the servant next to the master hurriedly invited a doctor. through the study.
While everyone in the mansion was secretly speculating, several guards who guarded the door of the study that night privately circulated that the master was almost saved because of excessive indulgence, and the scenes of that night were portrayed in a glamorous and exciting way,
In the early years, there were rumors in the mansion that the magistrate was superficially serious, but in that world it was extremely absurd.
It is also said that although the master is not dead, he has been inhumane since then, locked in the study all day, throwing glasses and losing his temper.
However, the master seemed not to accept his fate, he secretly went to the flower building in the city yesterday, brought back a few enchanting men and women, arranged a group of people in the best courtyard in the mansion, and stayed in that courtyard all night last night, not allowing anyone As people approached, they could only faintly hear the sound of fierce fighting coming from the courtyard, separated by the woman's suppressed muffled hum.
People in the mansion are spreading rumors in private, the master is probably crazy.
After briefly checking the origins of these people, the crown prince didn’t pay much attention to the hidden piles left in the mansion. After all, the governor of Xianyang did not do this kind of thing less in the past.
At this time, the "Master" who was rumored to be insane was sitting under Shen Mingjiao, with a very depressed expression.
In the large room where the furniture had been cleared away, Mingzheng, who was extremely bored, was competing with Fuguang. He was obviously half a head taller than Fuguang, but he was repeatedly gaining the upper hand between his fists and feet. Here comes.
Ming threw down the long knife in his hand, and shouted in frustration: "Why are you brothers and sisters so perverted!"
Now the relationship between Fu Guang and Feng Lisheng is an open secret.
Fu Guang still looked calm: "Miss Ming is also very powerful."
Ming stared: "Don't call me a girl, call me Pavilion Master."
Fu Guang felt that the leader of the most dignified killer in the Jianghu was too naive, so he turned his face away and didn't bother to talk to her.
It has always been cloudy and sunny, saying that the wind is the shadow of the rain, and I can't see her mature appearance at such a young age. He kept talking to provoke her, but Fuguang remained motionless, making Ming extremely annoyed every time.
Shen Mingjiao watched Ming Qi leave with great interest, lowered his head and asked Feng Wu: "Did Guard Feng find any unusual people pretending to be the governor of Xianyang these days?"
Feng Wu shook his head: "Ma'am, I understand what I mean. During this period of time, the governor of Xianyang stayed in the mansion in the name of recuperating, and all government affairs were temporarily handed over to Hu Juncheng. This Hu Juncheng is upright and pedantic. Look, this person should not know."
Shen Mingjiao nodded, the magistrate is only one level lower than the magistrate, and with the level of meticulousness of the prince, since the magistrate of Xianyang is already his own, it is impossible to replace all the high-ranking officials in a county with his own. The risk of being exposed that way is huge.
"Then pay attention to the people who came to Xianyang County Sheriff recently. Since the prince guessed that we came to Qin, it is impossible not to do something."
Feng Wu responded respectfully: "This subordinate understands."
Shen Mingjiao frowned: "This time is different from the time in Jingzhou. Besides, the prince has been hiding for so many years, which shows his heart and wrist. Since he has already guessed that we are coming to Qin, then the trip to Qishan will definitely not be smooth sailing.
Although we cannot go to help him together, we can help him behind. "
As long as you find all the private soldiers the prince raised outside, even if you can't find any real evidence, you can cut off the prince's arm.
…
The next day, Shen Mingjiao planned to go out to see Gu Danxue. In order to maintain her current personality, she tried her best to dress up in a gaudy way. A group of people dressed up enchantingly and enchantingly sat in a large carriage and walked around the mansion. A mindless pampering concubine attitude.
All the servants in the mansion saw them, not only did they not feel that they were pampered, but felt sympathy for them. Judging by the news from last night, it was clearly their last carnival!
For the convenience of taking care of them, Shen Mingjiao brought Gu Danxue to Xianyang City together, and placed them in the largest inn in Xianyang City.
When Shen Mingjiao came over, she heard the sound of a piano in the distance. Gu Danxue was sitting under the peach blossom tree in the yard reading a book, while Xing Qi beside her was playing the piano seriously in front of the case.
Gu Danxue was probably tired of listening, and leaned his head casually on Xing Qi's knee. Xing Qi fiddled with the strings of the piano slightly, but looked down at her tightly closed eyes, after all, he was unwilling to wake her up. A gust of wind blows down the peach blossoms behind the two of them. This scene makes people feel unreasonably beautiful.
It's just too beautiful, Shen Mingjiao frowned and glanced at Xing Qi, a strange feeling of peacekeeping flashed across her heart.
Gu Danxue opened her eyes in a daze when she heard the movement, and when she saw Shen Mingjiao and her party that Qing stepped into the small courtyard, she blinked:
"Why did Madam dress up like this, I almost didn't recognize it!"
Shen Mingjiao blurted out casually: "I want to change my dressing style! By the way, are you still used to living in these two days?"
Gu Danxue nodded: "Very well, the doctor said that Fenghuang's injury is also recovering well."
While speaking, he stood up and made tea for them: "It is said that this is a rich tea in Xianyang City, Madam, try it."
The two sat down and chatted, and Xing Qi said that he wanted to rest and went back to the bedroom with an excuse.
Through the open window, looking at Shen Mingjiao's eye-catching attire, she frowned slightly.
If Su Wang and his party put on disguises in the suburban guest house, it can also be interpreted as wanting to travel low-key. But looking at the strange attire of Princess Su and her party now means that they did not come to Qin to visit relatives as Gu Danxue said.
From the short contact that day, he could feel that King Su seemed to be in a hurry to take someone to do some important business. He didn't take it to heart at first, thinking that King Su was just coming to Qin for business.
But what kind of errand requires Princess Su to dress up like this?
He tapped his fingers on the edge of the table, thinking slowly,
After a while, he suddenly raised his head, thinking of the illegitimate son of King Su who came back with Princess Su more than half a year ago.
Maybe...he still has a chance.
In the yard, Shen Mingjiao lay on the rocking chair leisurely for a long time, seeing that it was lunch time, Gu Danxue suggested: "The roasted meat buns in this inn are very delicious, Madam, would you like to try it?"
Shen Mingjiao stood up, touched her belly: "Well, I'm really hungry, let's go!"
The business of this inn is good, and it is meal time, and there are many people sitting around in the lobby. Gu Danxue said: "How about I ask Xiao Er to send the food to the small courtyard to eat!"
Shen Mingjiao scanned a certain place in the private room on the second floor, "No, just eat in the lobby, it's so crowded."
