Chapter 121, playing cards not according to common sense
There are four tall buildings in the imperial city, the Shengping Building in Bei'anmen, the Guotai Gate in Chengtianmen, the Fengdeng Building in Dong'anmen, and the Qianqiu Building in Xi'an Gate.
The four buildings are nine storeys high and tens of meters high.
Standing on the ninth floor of the fourth building, you can have a panoramic view of the entire imperial city including Miyagi.
On the ninth floor of the Qianqiu Building, Chu Yao stood with his hands behind his back and stood by the fence, focusing on the situation on the west side of the imperial city. At this moment, he could see the criss-crossing streets and row upon row of mansions.
"thump thump thump"
There was a sudden trampling sound from the entrance of the pavilion, and after a while, Meng Moling ran up with a smile.
"Brother Yao."
Chu Yao didn't turn his head back: "Why are you here?"
Meng Moling smiled and walked to Chu Yao's side: "Brother Yao, I heard an interesting story about the Wuchang uncle's mansion, so I came here to tell you non-stop."
Chu Yao finally had a reaction, glanced sideways at Meng Moling, and said casually: "Wuchang uncle's mansion? A mansion of uncle who has been silent for many years and is about to come to an end, what can there be?"
Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped.
There was really no need to pay attention to the former Wuchangbo Mansion, but after the incident of the child being hugged by mistake, there was a bit of color.
The Shizheng and his family who came back from the northwest border, whether it is the father or the four children, seem to be a little bit capable.
On New Year's Eve, there was a disturbance in the area of Changyi Street in Beicheng. There was almost a disturbance, but it was Shi Zhenghe who stepped forward to solve it.
The troublemaker is a well-known tumbler in the Deshengmen area. With his strong standing skills, there are few people around him who can beat him.
But when confronted with Shi Zhenghe, he failed to catch even ten moves. In the end, in order to preserve his reputation, he took the initiative to withdraw in desperation.
As for his two sons, one helped catch three Jiangyang thieves as soon as he entered the capital, and the other was able to draw with the young general Zhao Shengming. Their martial arts talents are really amazing.
There was also Shi Fuyin who pushed Meng Moling several meters away, and the chubby girl who was so bold that she dared to touch her.
Chu Yao showed interest on his face: "Tell me, what happened to the Shi family?"
Seeing that Chu Yao was interested, Meng Moling immediately told with great interest that the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, Duke Qing's Mansion, and Duke Wen's Mansion sent people to Wuchang Bo's Mansion to beg for the Red Flame Sable.
After Chu Yao heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up: "These three families are not easy to deal with. Marquis Wu'an is domineering and saves face. Duke Qing was extremely ridiculous when he was the heir. Shamo is dead."
"As for Wen Guogong's mansion, although these years have been very low-key, but in the end it is the emperor who is keeping a close eye on the Yue family. Although the Empress Yuan is gone, there is still a eldest prince."
"Wuchang Bo Mansion is a hard pass!"
Meng Moling nodded in agreement, and then excitedly said: "Brother Yao, do you know how the news about the red flame mink in Shi's family got out?"
Chu Yao didn't respond, how can he pass it on?
Although the Wuchang uncle’s mansion has fallen, it is a big family after all, with a large number of people in the family, and there are no secrets in the mansion.
Meng Moling smiled and said: "It was the eldest wife of the Wei family, Shi Yuhua, who spread the news. Originally, only the Marquis of Wu'an and Nanhebo's mansions who were bitten by the red flame sable knew about it, but on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Wei family's At the poetry meeting, Shi Yuhua actually vomited bitterness in public."
"Shi Yuhua said that the sixth girl of the Shi family was the little chubby girl who dared to wrong you brother Yao, saying that she had no respect for her elders, her mouth was unforgiving, and she even dared to contradict her elders in public."
"Brother Yao, you know, those ladies love to listen to this kind of gossip, and they all asked carefully for a while, and then they talked about the Red Flame Sable."
"That afternoon, the people from Duke Qing's Mansion went to Wuchangbo Mansion."
Chu Yao thought of Mrs. Shi, whom she saw several times when the court ordered women to visit the queen, and sneered, "Mrs. Shi is quite shrewd, why did she raise such an idiot?!"
Meng Moling also looks down on this kind of person who digs his own wall: "Isn't it just stupid. Brother Yao, who do you think Wuchang Bofu will give the red flame mink to in the end?"
As he spoke, he paused.
"Brother Yao, don't you also want the red flame sable? How about I also go to the uncle's mansion? Even the Wuchang uncle's mansion dare not give me the red flame ermine."
Chu Yao squinted at Meng Moling, who was eager to try: "Am I the kind of person who takes things by force?" He said, and snorted, "Although the Uncle Wuchang's mansion is nothing to be afraid of, it's worthless things like going door-to-door to grab something. I don't bother to do it."
But Red Flame Sable, he really needs it.
"Even if I want the Red Flame Sable, what I have to do is let the Wuchang Bofu take the initiative to deliver the things to me, instead of trying to **** them away without losing my identity.
Meng Moling looked at Chu Yao with a look of admiration, and gave a thumbs up: "Sure enough, he is indeed my elder brother. Compared with your kindness and generosity, the Marquis of Wu'an, the Duke of Qing, and the Duke of Wen would all be thrown out by you for a few blocks. .”
"But Brother Yao, how do you get Wuchang Bofu to give you the red flame mink on its own initiative?"
Chu Yao was silent: "I have my own way." Whether it is the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, Duke Qing's Mansion, or Duke Wen's Mansion, Wuchang Bo's Mansion dare not offend, and this matter will probably take a while.
As long as Chiyan Diao is still in Wuchangbo Mansion, he can do a lot.
Don't forget, the little chubby girl touched her, and he hasn't finished talking about it yet.
Meng Moling asked curiously: "Brother Yao, what can you do? Tell me, I'll run errands for you."
Chu Yao: "If you are really busy, go to Yongding Gate and let me watch people."
Meng Moling's eyes lit up, and his face was full of joy: "Brother Yao, you are finally willing to assign me an errand, don't worry, I promise to handle the errand smoothly."
Chu Yao warned: "Don't take it too lightly, local officials, especially those above the third rank, are surrounded by warrior guards, and many of them are masters of the eighth or ninth rank. It is better to be careful about your three-legged cat's kung fu."
Speaking of kung fu, the smile on Meng Moling's face disappeared. When he thought of the experience of being pushed a few meters away by Shi Fuyin's palm in the palace during the winter hunting, he became very depressed.
Chu Yao saw his head slumped, and said again: "We only focus on people, and it is the special investigation department's business to charge up. Your kung fu is still enough."
Meng Moling was not comforted, and went downstairs listlessly.
But two quarters of an hour later, this guy turned back excitedly.
Chu Yao was speechless: "Why are you back?"
Meng Moling excitedly said: "Brother Yao, I'm afraid it won't work if you want Wuchang Bofu to take the initiative to send you Red Flame Sable."
"Didn't I want to know who the Wuchangbo mansion would give the red flame mink to, so I sent someone to guard Changle East Street. Just now I received news that yes, the little fat girl was carrying Shi Jiulang swaggeringly with the red sable. Flame Sable is out of the house."
"Obviously, the little fat girl and the others are going to give away the red flame sable today. Brother Yao, let me go and stop the red flame sable directly. I don't think Marquis Wu'an, Duke Qing, and Duke Wen would dare to fight with him." Let's grab it."
Chu Yao raised his eyebrows in surprise, so he decided to send the Red Flame Sable out so easily?
"Wait, the little fat girl brought Shi Jiulang out of the mansion with the red flame mink in person?"
Why is he so unbelievable!
During the winter hunting, in order to prevent him from catching the red flame ermine, the little fat girl dared to wrong him, so would she hand over the red flame ermine so generously?
Meng Moling nodded: "Isn't that right? The little chubby girl and her brother are very flamboyant. Whenever they meet people along the way, they tell them that they are carrying the Red Flame Mink from the Western Regions, and now they are going to give gifts."
Chu Yao frowned: "Did they say they would give the Red Flame Sable to someone?"
Meng Moling shook his head: "I didn't say that." He said anxiously: "Brother Yao, do you still want the Red Flame Sable? It took some time for my people to pass the news on. The fat girl sister and brother may have already sent the red flame mink away."
"Will not!"
Hearing Chu Yao's affirmative words, Meng Moling froze for a moment, and then heard Chu Yao say, "They're here."
Meng Moling saw the corners of Chu Yao's mouth curled up, and immediately understood what he meant: "The little fat girl is here?" As he spoke, he hurriedly followed Chu Yao's line of sight to look downstairs.
Unfortunately, there were too many pedestrians on the street, and he didn't see anyone.
"Brother Yao, where are the little fat girls?"
Chu Yao didn't respond. With Meng Moling's strength, he couldn't distinguish people five hundred meters away.
Chu Yao looked at the two figures approaching the Xi'an Gate on Dewu Road, unhurriedly and steadily, with raised brows.
Looking at their appearance, this is the rhythm of coming to the imperial city!
He has investigated everything about Shizheng and his family since they came to Beijing, except for him, they have nothing to do with anyone in the imperial city.
Before he had time to make a move, did the little fat girl take the initiative to give him the red flame sable?
Also, facing the robbing by Marquis Wu'an, everyone would feel uncomfortable and unhappy, but if the little fat girl would take the initiative to think of giving him the Red Flame Sable, Chu Yao himself laughed.
They met several times in total, but each time they were not very harmonious. The last time they begged for the blood of the red flame sable, the little fat girl was reluctant, and she would take the initiative to give herself the red flame sable!
Not enough. Apart from him, could it be that they also know other people in the imperial city?
At this moment, Shi Fuxin brought Shi Dinghao to the Xi'an Gate of the Imperial City.
Meng Moling finally saw the two of them, and said in surprise: "The little fat girl is going to enter the imperial city!"
Under the gate of Xi'an, Shi Fuxin took out Governor Cai's jade pendant, and signaled Shi Dinghao to raise the red flame mink in his hand: "We are from the Wuchang uncle's mansion, and we will enter the imperial city to give gifts."
The gatekeepers looked at the jade pendant of Governor Cai, and after registering, they let them in.
Upstairs in Qianqiu, Meng Moling's eyes widened: "What are the sisters and brothers doing in the imperial city? Do they want to give the red flame sable to the people in the imperial city?"
Seeing Shi Fuxin's sister and brother walking in the direction, Chu Yao was really surprised, and at the same time had a guess in his heart.
It is no secret that the First Prince has cold poison in his body, and the blood of the Red Flame Sable is an important ingredient for detoxifying cold poison.
The little fat girl sister and brother want to give the red flame sable to the eldest prince, right?
Looking at the two siblings who passed by Qianqiu downstairs, Chu Yao had a panoramic view of the smiles on their faces, and there was no reluctance or displeasure!
This is really strange!
When the Fuxin sister and brother went out of the mansion with the red flame sable, many people were paying attention, everyone wanted to know which family the Wuchang uncle's mansion would give the red flame sable to.
Who knows, the result was unexpected, the siblings didn't even choose one family, and even ran into the imperial city.
Everyone has already guessed what to do in the imperial city.
After all, in the imperial city, the eldest prince is the only one suffering from cold poison.
