Chapter 1051 Zhao Guogong, the God of Eternity
The prince was supposed to stay in the East Palace, but the empress was reluctant and worried, so she moved the prince to the Shaoyang Courtyard in Daming Palace.
Shaoyang Courtyard is next door to Taizhi Courtyard, with Menxia Province in front and Chongming Gate on the other side, which leads to Dongneiyuan. There are some scenery and Longshou Pool for viewing, and there is also a court for playing horses.
"The empress loves you."
Jia Pingan felt that such an arrangement was a luxury!
Li Hong nodded, "It makes me feel even more uncomfortable."
"Relax." Jia Ping'an was very calm.
Li Hong asked, "What if I can't find it?"
Jia Ping'an said casually: "It's time to make a copy."
"snort!"
The prince turned around slowly, and at some point Wang Zhongliang actually followed, and at this moment he snorted coldly with disdain.
"Mr. Zhao, this is deceiving His Majesty!"
Damn it!
It was overheard by this guy.
Jia Pingan said solemnly: "That jade pendant is of great significance. Will the empress be angry when she learns about the loss?"
Wang Zhongliang nodded.
Jia Pingan said: "Being angry is not good for your health, especially Your Majesty!"
Wang Zhongliang nodded.
The prince always felt something was wrong.
Uncle seems to be trying to trick someone.
Jia Pingan said very seriously: "In this case, it is better to make the empress angry and get sick, or to hide it?"
Wang Zhongliang: "..."
Jia Ping'an turned around and said softly: "It's not too challenging."
The prince admired secretly, "Uncle, what kind of method is this?"
Sophistry!
Jia Pingan said: "This is called methodology."
Method is a basket, everything can be put in it!
"I was very angry last night."
The prince looked a little begging for comfort.
Jia Pingan said: "This is social beatings, and there is no harm in experiencing more."
"I feel sore eyes."
"Anyone who hasn't slept all night will feel astringent."
When I arrived at the prince's place, I saw a group of maids standing outside the palace, surrounded by more than ten maids, staring at them.
Jiang Han was on the steps, saw the crown prince and Jia Pingan approaching, and came down to report: "Your Highness, I haven't found anything."
She glanced at Jia Pingan.
"Uncle." Li Hong was a little worried, "I don't care about it, I should be a little angry, thinking that my big man can't even look down on a jade pendant..."
Jia Pingan made up his mind: "What country is this young man in prison for?"
Zeng Xianglin changed color, "Mr. Zhao Guo is careful."
Jia Pingan said flatly: "I also said the same to His Majesty and Queen."
He walked over slowly, and when he passed by Jiang Han, he said, "Su Ho is fine, and so are the two children."
Jiang Han nodded, turned around slowly, watched him walk up the steps, and then said to the prince: "Your Highness, everyone's residence has been searched."
Li Hong nodded, "Just do your best."
This matter is regarded as a loss of points, but what he cares more about is that his parents are angry.
Jia Pingan went up, looked at the servants in the palace and said: "There is no doubt about the importance of that jade pendant. I know that the person who stole that jade pendant is terrified at this moment, but he dare not surrender himself. Yes, surrendering at this moment is not a good end." , the best end is to go to the laundry."
Jiang Han smiled wryly after saying these words, "He is still so direct."
Li Hong said: "Uncle is lazy."
Jiang Han shook his head, "He's not lazy, but he doesn't need to care about many things."
"Come talk to someone."
Zeng Xianglin went up.
"Yesterday afternoon, His Highness pressed the page of the book with that jade pendant, and then went out..."
"How long does it take to go out and come back?"
"A quarter of an hour."
Seven or eight minutes!
This is the big solution.
"After returning, His Highness found that the jade pendant was missing."
"Where are the books?"
this…
Li Hong said: "The book is still not closed."
Jia Pingan looked at everyone, "Who saw the door at that time?"
A servant stepped forward, "It's a slave!"
Zeng Xianglin said: "This man is called Wang Yi."
Jia Pingan asked: "Did anyone come in and out during that time?"
Wang Yi shook his head, "No one came in or out."
Jia Ping'an suddenly turned cold, "Were you sleeping at the time? Tell me!"
His eyes widened, and he shouted loudly.
Wang Yi tremblingly said: "Yes, this servant is dozing off!"
Jiang Han was stunned, "How many times have I asked before, I was told that I was guarding the door! I even beat him."
Li Hong praised: "Is this uncle's evil spirit?"
Jiang Hanming realized, "He has fought on the battlefield for many years and killed countless people. Once Wang Yi gets angry, how can he stop him?"
Jia Pingan said coldly: "So you are the number one suspect."
Wang Yi knelt down, "Duke, this servant swears that he did not steal the jade pendant. If this statement is false, this servant is willing to be an animal for the rest of his life."
This oath is serious.
But Jia Pingan has seen many such vows in later generations.
"Even if you are dozing off, you should feel someone coming in and out..."
There are also points for taking naps, and sometimes you fall asleep and don’t know anything about the outside world. Sometimes it's in a daze, and someone can feel it when they pass by.
Wang Yi looked up, "Yes."
Those people were in an uproar.
"Quiet!"
Zeng Xianglin shouted angrily: "Quiet!"
But there are still people whispering.
Jia Pingan said lightly: "Be quiet!"
It is quite now!
You can hear a needle drop.
Jia Ping'an said with satisfaction: "Someday someone will come and train you."
Jiang Han said: "Even if Wang Yi knew that someone was coming in and out, but Wang Yi didn't see it, it still didn't help."
Li Hong said: "Look at Uncle."
Jiang Han glanced at him, and found that the prince was more confident.
This is confidence in Jia Ping'an!
But this matter is like cooking without rice!
Jia Pingan asked: "After the jade pendant is lost, will someone come to look for you?"
Wang Yi nodded, "Many people."
Why!
The female officer next to Jiang Han sighed, "Mr. Zhao Guo is keen and found this way, but there are too many people and he can't tell the difference."
Jiang Han said: "I will go to ask His Majesty for instructions to rectify the Prince's place later."
If the culprit cannot be found, there must be a big cleaning.
She winked, and someone went over and raised her voice and said: "The thief can't be found, His Highness must clean up here!"
The maids in the court have all changed their colors.
The palace is not outside, the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice has to find evidence to decide the case outside, the palace is Gan Gang's arbitrary, the emperor thinks you are wrong, then you must be wrong.
It is impossible for the empress to keep a thief by the side of the prince. The final outcome is to drive them all away. Those who were originally female officials were maids of honor, and those who were originally eunuchs went to clean the house...
Someone muttered, "This is to make us confess. Who saw it? Who saw who entered the prince's palace yesterday afternoon? Who! Stand up quickly, otherwise no one will be able to please you."
After buzzing for a while, there was no movement.
Jiang Han shook his head, "It is true that no one saw the thief coming in and out."
Uncle's methods are very sharp, but he still can't find the thief... Li Hong's heart is half cold.
Jia Pingan paced slowly on the steps, looked at the palace attendants with different expressions below, and said, "After the prince came back, he started to investigate this matter. Where are you?"
Wang Yi said: "The servant has been talking inside."
"Who else is in there?"
"It's Your Highness and Zhongguan Zeng."
When there are too many people, there will be chaos. The eldest nephew is doing a good job at this.
Jia Pingan nodded slightly, "Is someone looking for you today?"
Wang Yi nodded.
"Did that person come to look for you several times?"
Wang Yi nodded.
Jia Pingan saw the commotion below, and he asked again: "That person asked you...do you remember who went in and out yesterday?"
Wang Yi nodded and turned around abruptly.
Among the crowd, a servant shouted: "The servant is just worried about being implicated!"
Jia Ping'an smiled slightly, "Don't call yourself, take it down!"
Two of Jiang Han's men rushed forward, but no one was as fast as Wang Yi.
Wang Yi threw the man down and cursed, "Is that you?"
The man shouted: "It's not us!"
Everyone looked at Jia Pingan.
Jia Pingan said: "Just ask Wang Yi once if he has seen a thief. Everyone wants to ask, but if you ask it many times, it is a guilty conscience. But some people like to ask one thing so many times..."
yes!
Everyone is puzzled.
OCD sufferers like that.
No, anxiety sufferers!
Jia Pingan said indifferently: "But the most important thing to ask at this moment is whether the thief has been found! It is not that Wang Yike saw the thief coming in and out. If he saw the thief, would the thief still be alive and kicking?"
Not even an anxiety sufferer would keep asking this silly question.
"You thought losing a piece of jade pendant was just a trivial matter, so you were not in a hurry at first. But the prince stayed up all night to investigate the matter, which shows that the jade pendant is not easy, and you start to panic... When people panic, they will become anxious, and then they will fantasize about the possible results of this matter .”
Wang Yi shook his head.
Jia Pingan said: "Wang Yi, whom everyone avoids, yet you ask again...It can only explain one thing, you are guilty!"
The waiter shouted: "Your Highness, this servant is wronged! Your Highness, this servant is wronged!"
Jia Pingan frowned, "Where did this person go yesterday, do you know?"
If the culprits are caught, the servants and maids will not be implicated, so everyone reports.
"Check! Check carefully all the places he has been to since the jade pendant was lost."
Jia Ping'an was a little tired, "Get a stool."
Jiang Han said in a low voice: "He has become more and more sharp, step by step, this is the experience of these years of fighting."
Jia Pingan sat on the stool and waited for the crown prince to come up and said: "Don't panic when things happen, you forgot the methodology I taught you? Step by step backwards..."
Li Hong nodded, "Yes. Step by step, even if you can't find the jade pendant, you can still reverse the impact of this matter on me step by step."
"Stay up all night, ridiculous!"
Jia Pingan saw that he looked tired, "Go and take a nap."
Li Hong shook his head, "It's better to wait, or you will feel uneasy."
Jia Pingan was angry, "How can you be a prince if you can't hide something in your heart? If you encounter something, you stay up all night and worry. Will it work? Go to sleep!"
The prince went in.
Zeng Xianglin cupped his hands, "We have persuaded His Highness many times to refuse to listen, but the Duke has a way."
"Do things carefully!"
Jia Pingan took out the textbook and waved his hand, "Go and serve the prince."
After Zeng Xianglin entered, Jia Pingan started to read.
Recently, the novel world in Chang'an has been surging, and there are a few rookies.
This novel is about bad people in Chang'an catching ghosts...
Tsk tsk!
The female ghost is also beautiful.
Jia Ping'an was amazed.
"The brain is not big enough!"
"Hey! You have to drive more freely, you are not a tulle beauty!"
A group of people watched Jia Pingan sitting there reading a book, they could be said to be engrossed.
"Mr. Zhao Guo does not release the book, no wonder he can achieve today's achievements."
"Look, he didn't notice that Gong Zheng was standing beside him, he was really focused."
Jiang Han stood beside Jia Pingan and took a look.
—The female ghost knelt down, "Your lord spares the slave, and the slave is willing to be a cow or a horse to repay your lord." Zhao Chong sneered, "How to serve?" The female ghost shyly said, "Let the lord decide!", Zhao Chong Smiling, "You were a prostitute before you were alive, but you know those tricks?"
Jiang Han raised his eyes, expressionless.
"found it!"
Snapped!
Jia Pingan put away the book, "Prince, I'm going back."
Xincheng said that it hired a new cook, and asked him to taste it at noon and appraise it. If the food is good, the cook will be retained, and if it is not good, he will be sent away.
When did I become the number one gourmet in Datang?
Jia Pingan feels that he is just a layman, and he is happy to have the opportunity to eat and drink for nothing.
Look, happiness is as simple as that, you just ignore it.
Li Hong rushed out, "Uncle, let's have dinner together."
What kind of meal do I have with you little brat?
Jia Pingan waved his hand without looking back, "Hurry up and catch up on sleep!"
A group of maids silently rolled their eyes as he moved.
A court lady whispered: "Thank you, Duke."
If Jia Pingan didn't find out about this, they would be reassigned tomorrow.
The servant was brought here, and Zeng Xianglin was holding a jade pendant in his hand. After seeing Jia Pingan, he said, "Wang Xia was sick yesterday, and he actually hid the jade pendant behind Wang Xia's residence."
"Something interesting."
Jia Ping'an left.
The news was quickly sent to the empress.
"... Zhao Guogong asked Wang Yi after he left. They said that Zhao Guogong was full of evil spirits. Wang Yi only admitted that he was dozing off at the time, but he was vaguely aware that someone was coming in and out..."
Wu Mei shook her head, "Too much evil spirit is not good, Your Majesty, please ask a mage to suppress the evil spirit for Ping An."
The emperor looked at her, "The mage befriended him."
Yeah!
Wu Mei was in high spirits, "Yes, but my concubine forgot about it."
I see that you have not forgotten, but want to show off!
Wang Zhongliang continued: "Then Zhao Guogong asked Wang Yi who had come to look for him today, but he asked him about the thief, and immediately there were people shouting for injustice..."
"To cover up!" The emperor sneered.
"Zhao Guogong said that the man must have asked Wang Yi several times, as expected."
"The man refused to admit it, so Zhao Guogong asked where he went after yesterday's incident, and when he went looking for it, he found the jade pendant."
The emperor nodded, "Not bad."
The queen got up and said: "Shen Qiu searched for a long time last night but he couldn't find it."
The emperor stood up, "I still have something to do."
…
The new cook is standing outside the kitchen, receiving Zhang Tingxiang's lecture.
"The princess is kind, and the rewards for doing things in the mansion are generous, but with me here, no one can try to make up for it."
These words were full of domineering, the cook slightly bowed, "Yes."
As he spoke, the cook touched his cuff secretly, and found a small piece of silver. He laughed and said, "Butler Zhang, be careful..."
Zhang Tingxiang sternly said, "You are humiliating me! You are humiliating my integrity!"
The cook smiled dryly, "Butler Zhang, I have worked in the restaurant for more than ten years anyway, and I am afraid that the food I cook here can even be eaten by the emperor. It shouldn't be a problem to stay here, right?"
Zhang Tingxiang said lightly: "Wait and try."
The cook turned sideways, "Why don't you try a few dishes now?"
Zhang Tingxiang coughed dryly, "Wait a little longer."
"Isn't the princess at home? Who are you waiting for?"
Zhang Tingxiang was a little impatient, "Just wait."
The cook rubbed his hands, while observing the kitchen utensils, while thinking about how to maximize the use of these kitchen utensils to display his cooking skills.
"Housekeeper, Mr. Zhao Guo is here."
A servant comes.
The cook couldn't help being surprised to see Zhang Tingxiang jogging over with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Zhao...why, do you know the housekeeper?"
A cook in a restaurant can only know so much, the servant said indifferently: "Just look at it."
The most important thing for a servant of a wealthy family is to keep his mouth shut.
Big Mouth either get out or die.
The cook walked over cautiously.
"Meet the Duke."
Jia Pingan came in and asked casually, "Princess is going to have a banquet, who is invited?"
Zhang Tingxiang said with a smile: "It's either a banquet, or a new cook is here. The princess said that she was afraid it would be a sham, so she invited the Duke to appreciate it."
"I'm not a foodie."
Jia Pingan smiled.
The cook stood on the side, blushing and heart beating.
The servant asked in a low voice: "What are you excited about?"
The cook suppressed his voice, "This is Zhao Guogong!"
The servant wondered, "What's wrong with Mr. Zhao? We often see each other."
Often seen?
Cook: "..."
Duke Zhao Guo often comes to the Princess Mansion?
But he immediately turned away from this thought, and said excitedly: "Do you know who made the stir-fry? It is Zhao Guogong! Zhao Guogong is our god!"
The cook's eyes lit up.
Zhao Guogong, eternal God!
This is a word in the food industry!
The cook couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhao often comes here, but is it business?"
The servant nodded.
Huang Shu is here.
This woman held her head upright, her eyes indifferent.
Zhang Tingxiang went up to meet him, smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
Huang Shu nodded slightly, her eyes still indifferent. When she saw Jia Ping'an, she went up a few steps and said with a blessing, "I have seen the Duke. The princess is waiting, and I invite the Duke to come with the slave."
Jia Pingan nodded.
The cook suppressed the surprise in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Can the Duke go to the backyard?"
The servant coughed dryly, "Don't ask if you shouldn't."
…
Backyard.
In late spring, those flower trees are blooming colorfully.
Xincheng stood among the flowers and trees, lowered his head and closed his eyes, sniffing the flowers gently.
The pink peony is delicate and beautiful, and complements that tender face.
"What flower?"
A man's voice came suddenly.
Xincheng still closed his eyes, "Shaoyao."
"By the way, you have planted so many flower trees in your backyard, it will be troublesome if they fall?"
Xincheng raised his mouth slightly, "Why bother? Just clean it."
"Are those fallen flowers going to be buried?"
Xincheng nodded, slowly left the flower, turned around and said, "Petals can fatten flowers."
Jia Ping'an chanted casually: "Luohong is not a ruthless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers."
Xincheng’s eyes became brighter, "Luohong is not a ruthless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers. These two poems can be called affectionate, Xiao Jia is a great talent."
I'm not passionate!
Jia Pingan smiled and walked over, picked up the flowers and sniffed them.
"Ahh!"
…
Ask for a monthly pass!
