Chapter 365, Invitation
Chu Yao returned to the study and started to sulk. He found that he really couldn't reason with Shi Liu, because he couldn't even explain it!
Hit, can't beat.
Say, but say no.
Chu Yao rubbed his forehead with a headache. At this time, he doubted whether the decision to marry Shi Fuxin was correct. Now he feels more and more like he has married an ancestor.
"Third Master!"
At this moment, a low call sounded outside the window.
When Chu Yao heard this, his complexion straightened, he withdrew all his thoughts just now, and gave a faint 'hmm'.
Then, a man in black appeared in the study.
"Third Lord, all the Yuan family's goods in the South China Sea have been robbed."
Chu Yao narrowed his eyes, the Yuan family is one of the great imperial merchants, and the backer behind it is the sixth prince.
"Find out who did it?"
Men in black: "It is the hands of the Sea Turtle Gang, one of the strongest pirate forces in the South China Sea."
Chu Yao: "Sea Turtle Gang?"
The man in black said again: "There should be a master behind the Sea Turtle Gang, and it is very likely to be from the capital. The Sea Turtle Gang rarely harass the coastal people in their work, and they act quite well."
Chu Yao's face became serious when he heard this. It is not terrible for a pirate gang to burn, kill and loot.
Turtle Gang? The Yuan family?
The master behind the Yuan family is the sixth prince. During this period of time, only the Dongfang family of the Duke of Ming Dynasty had a direct conflict with the sixth prince.
"Go and find out if the members of the Sea Turtle Gang are related to the Duke of Ming?"
After the man in black left, Chu Yao was still thinking about the sixth prince.
The sixth prince is actually not conspicuous among the many princes, his ability and talent are not very outstanding, and his mother's family has no power.
You must know that the families that can be selected as the top ten imperial merchants are all merchant families that have been passed down for several generations.
Businessmen are the most profit-seeking, how did the mediocre Sixth Prince fall into the eyes of the Yuan family?
What can the sixth prince bring to the Yuan family?
Ever since he knew that the master behind the Yuan family was the Sixth Prince, he sent many people to investigate the relationship between them, but unfortunately nothing was found.
Chu Yao didn't bother about the Sixth Prince and the Yuan family anymore, he started thinking about the Sea Turtle Gang that popped up out of nowhere.
Is the Sea Turtle Gang a member of the Duke of Ming Dynasty?
The Yuan family belongs to the Sixth Prince. Is the Ming government finally going to do something to the Sixth Prince?
There are more and more forces taking the lead, and the capital is probably going to be even more lively.
Just two days after Chu Yao met the man in black, Shi Fuxin received a letter from Shi Dingxuan's family.
"Ma'am, Fifth Lord has sent you a letter."
When he heard that it was Shi Dingxuan's letter, Shi Fuxin immediately showed a smile: "Fifth brother is lazy, and he will only send a letter home to the capital for several months."
While talking, he quickly opened the letter, and after reading the first page, he cheered happily, "My sister-in-law is pregnant!"
Nurse Leng and An Ran were also very happy when they heard this: "Fourth madam is envious of the young grandson of the eldest madam's family, now it's all over, the fifth master has a son, and the fourth madam has grandchildren."
Shi Fuxin nodded with a smile.
At the beginning, the fifth brother got married when his sister-in-law's father was critically ill. After getting married, the fifth brother and his sister-in-law had to observe filial piety for three years, and the filial piety was only done this year.
After reading Shi Dingxuan's good news, Shi Fuxin began to read another letter that was included in the letter.
The letter was written by Master Xiang.
"Miss Six, it's been found out. The person who took action against Meng and Yang was the Yuan family, one of the top ten imperial merchants. The master behind the Yuan family is the sixth prince."
"At the beginning of this month, the Yuan family's goods, including people and boats, were robbed by members of the Sea Snake Gang. Now, the head of the Yuan family is already on his way to the capital."
"The Sea Snake Gang seems to have connections with the capital. Although they haven't had any conflicts with Baicaotang in the past two years, they are secretly inquiring about Baicaotang."
"Miss Six, with the power of the Sea Turtle Gang, they are likely to find out the relationship between Baicaotang and Shennongtang. Girls should make preparations early."
Shi Fuxin folded Master Xiang's letter expressionlessly, then took out the fire folder and lit it, burning the letter.
Nurse Leng and An Ran saw that Fu Xin's complexion became wrong when they saw it, and they both exited the room with discernment.
Shi Fuxin went to the desk and sat down, and wrote five words with a pen.
The Sixth Prince, the Yuan family.
The Meng and Yang families used to be Chu Qinghuan's money bag, but the Yuan family suddenly came to him, and even killed him. This Yuan family may also belong to Chu Qinghuan.
If the Yuan family belonged to Chu Qinghuan, then the sixth prince
Also, if she were Chu Qinghuan, she would also support a prince to take the throne. It just so happens that the sixth prince has no ability, and there is no strong mother clan behind him, so he is indeed the best candidate for a puppet.
Thinking of what Master Xiang said, when the Patriarch of the Yuan family came to the capital, Shi Fuxin immediately called Xiaofang in: "Go and tell Yan Daizi to keep an eye on the city gate, and if he finds that the imperial merchant Yuan's family has entered the capital, notify me immediately. "
After Xiaofang left, Shi Fuxin wrote the words "Sea Turtle Gang" on the white paper on the table.
In the pirate forces in the South China Sea, there are two gangs that are still fresh in her memory, one is the Sea Turtle Gang and the other is the Seahorse Gang.
The members of the Sea Turtle Gang are training soldiers on the island, while the members of the Seahorse Gang are growing food on the island.
The actions of these two forces are not like pirates at all!
Now that members of the Sea Turtle Gang have robbed the people and goods of the Yuan family, it is obvious that the two families have enmity.
Shi Fuxin, like Chu Yao, also thought of the commotion between the Sixth Prince and the Duke of Ming during this period.
"Is it the Duke of Ming Dynasty?"
Mingguo Duke's Mansion is the natal family of Empress Wende, the first family of Great Chu, absolutely capable of forming such a pirate team in the South China Sea.
Shi Fuxin's face was a little dignified. If the master behind the Sea Turtle Gang is really the Ming Dynasty Duke's Mansion, they are eyeing Baicaotang, that is really a tricky matter, and the Ming Guo Mansion is not very easy to deal with.
The Sea Turtle Gang is far away in the South China Sea, and it is difficult to solve it. Now we can only keep an eye on the Duke Ming's Mansion.
In late August, Yan Daizi sent a letter to Shi Fuxin, saying that the head of the Yuan family had entered Beijing.
After Shi Fuxin knew about it, she immediately decided to meet the head of the Yuan family in person. No matter what, she had to know what the Yuan family found out through the Meng and Yang families.
But before Shi Fuxin could make a move, the Sixth Prince's people quietly sent a letter to Hong Yanxiao, and asked Hong Yanxiao's steward to send it to Shi Fuxin immediately.
When Shi Fuxin received the letter, she was obviously a little surprised, the sixth prince actually found her first!
The letter didn't write anything, only one sentence: Mrs. Yao, please come to the Millennium Tower tomorrow to have a talk. An old friend will arrive.
Shi Fuxin frowned after watching it.
Old person?
What old friends can there be between her and the sixth prince?
Shi Fuxin decided to ignore it, she didn't want to have anything to do with the sixth prince, anyway, after seeing the Patriarch of the Yuan family, she could know everything she wanted to know.
At that time, we will decide how to deal with the sixth prince.
That night, Shi Fuxin quietly went to Yuan's house in a night walker.
The top ten imperial merchants all have houses in the capital, and the Yuan family's house is in the quietest part of the outer city.
As soon as she approached Yuan's house, Shi Fuxin sensed that something was wrong, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Shi Fuxin jumped onto the beam, and quickly ran towards the place where the smell of blood was the strongest. Along the way, she saw many people lying on the ground
Soon, I saw more than a dozen men in black in the main courtyard, and the courtyard was full of people.
In the yard, there is only one living person left, and that is the Patriarch of the Yuan family.
The Patriarch of the Yuan family was lying on the ground with a mournful expression, with blood streaming from his mouth. When he saw the leader in black tearing off his kerchief, his eyes opened angrily: "You are a member of the Sea Turtle Gang!"
The leader in black sneered: "Patriarch Yuan has a good memory."
The head of the Yuan family looked at the leader in black: "Why? You have already robbed my goods, why do you want to kill them all?"
The black-clothed leader ignored the questions from the head of the Yuan family and asked, "Why did you attack the Yang family in Liaodong and the Meng family in Beihai?"
The Patriarch of the Yuan Family's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said with a snort, "I chased you from the South China Sea to the capital, and you just want to ask me this?"
The black-clothed leader looked at him: "Your Yuan family was originally a member of His Royal Highness Qing Huan, the granddaughter of the Prince Regent, and later joined the Sixth Prince. Why did you take action against the Yang and Meng families who have no conflict of interest with the Yuan family?"
When the head of the Yuan family saw that the man in black even knew the details of the Yuan family, his complexion changed greatly: "How do you know this? Who are you guys?"
The leader in black obviously became impatient, and stepped on the head of the Yuan family: "Answer my question honestly."
The Patriarch of the Yuan family laughed loudly: "You are so powerful, go and investigate yourself."
The head of the Yuan family knew that he was doomed this time, so he simply ignored it and said, "It was the order of the sixth prince. If you have the ability, you should ask the sixth prince."
After that, no matter what the man in black said, the Patriarch of the Yuan family stopped talking.
The black-clothed leader had killing intent in his eyes, and with a wave of the sword in his hand, he wiped the head of the Yuan family's neck.
"Second leader, we haven't found out why the Yuan family attacked the Yang and Meng families." A man in black wanted to stop it, but unfortunately, it was a step too late.
The black-clothed leader snorted and said, "Do you think he can talk when he looks dead?"
The man in black: "Then how do we explain to the boss?"
The leader in black: "Go to the Duke of Ming Dynasty and let them find a way to ask the sixth prince."
The man in black was in a hurry: "The second master, the first master has ordered us to try not to contact people from the Duke of Ming."
The black-clothed leader was angry: "Are you the second leader or I am the second leader, I ask you to do whatever you want, why waste so much talk?"
hum hum.
"They are all from the Dongfang family, so why should they enjoy the hot food and drink spicy food in the capital, and we should be exposed to the sun and the sun over the pirates? It's time for them to do something."
The other men in black couldn't persuade the leader in black, so they could only follow him and quickly left Yuan's house.
Shi Fuxin quietly followed behind them, seeing with her own eyes the group of men in black entering the Duke Ming's mansion.
"The Sea Snake Gang was formed by people from the Duke of Ming Dynasty!"
Shi Fuxin looked at the gate of the Duke of Ming's Mansion, her eyes were a little gloomy.
Being targeted by the Duke of Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that Shennongtang will be investigated soon, and she may be exposed by then.
Shi Fuxin stared at the Ming Palace, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
For the next few days, Shi Fuxin kept finding out about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion, and she had long forgotten about the Sixth Prince's invitation. Who would have thought that when she was going to Hongyanxiaojian's cigarette bag in a carriage, she was blocked by the Sixth Prince? On the way.
"Miss Yao San has such a big air, she doesn't give my Highness any face at all."
The two carriages stopped alternately, and the sixth prince sat through the window and looked at Shi Fuxin who was in the opposite carriage: "That's right, Mrs. Yao's reputation as arrogance is probably known to everyone in the capital. The Fourth Prince doesn't look down on anyone, let alone His Highness."
Shi Fuxin looked over, and said calmly: "I don't think your Highness and I have anything to talk about."
The sixth prince snorted and laughed: "Really, but His Highness thinks that we can talk all night long."
Hearing the sixth prince's ambiguous tone, Shi Fuxin felt disgusted, and she was not polite anymore: "Sixth prince, compared with my husband, you can't even compare him with a single finger, so don't be like that in front of me." It opened its tail like a peacock."
The Sixth Prince's complexion suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly: "Shishi, don't be shameless, His Highness knows everything about you and the Meng Yang family."
Shi Fuxin looked over: "I don't understand what the sixth prince means?"
The sixth prince laughed, and said silently: "You are Chu Qinghuan's."
Shi Fuxin understood what he meant, and was a little speechless. This prince is really not very smart!
When the sixth prince saw Fu Xin was silent, thinking she was afraid, he said with a smile: "His Highness has reserved a private room in the Millennium Tower, you can go with me, let's talk in detail."
After finishing speaking, let the coachman ride the horse to the Millennium Building.
Shi Fuxin watched the Sixth Prince's carriage go away, frowning and thinking.
Although the sixth prince made a mistake, if he wanted to talk nonsense, it would cause her a lot of trouble. After hesitating for a while, he decided to follow and see what the sixth prince wanted to do.
Not long after the carriage caught up with the sixth prince, Shi Fuxin frowned.
Someone was following her, and someone left quickly, apparently to report to the police.
Is Chu Yao's person?
Shi Fuxin shook her head. With Chu Yao's temperament, she would only let people follow silently without making any moves. Moreover, she knew by heart the people Chu Yao sent to watch her, and the people behind were all unfamiliar faces.
If it’s not Chu Yao, who could it be?
Shi Fuxin told Xiaofang to tell Shi Yi Shi Er to be more careful, and then squinted at the Sixth Prince's carriage walking ahead.
As for the sixth prince, when he knew that Shi Fuxin was following up, he immediately showed a sinister sneer.
Chu Yao, His Highness wants to let you have a taste of wearing a cuckold.
"Have the prince's people caught up?"
"Catch up."
The sixth prince snorted coldly. The prince thought he was a fool. He didn't know that he, the third child and the fifth child were aggressive generals. The reason why he followed their instructions was just to make Chu Yao feel uncomfortable.
Soon, the sixth prince's carriage stopped at the entrance of the Millennium Building.
The sixth prince got off the carriage, saw Shi Fuxin's carriage was approaching, laughed, and quickly walked into the restaurant.
"Stop."
When there were still about ten meters away from the Millennium Building, Shi Fuxin asked Shi Yishi Er to stop the carriage.
With Xiaofang's support, Shi Fuxin got out of the carriage weakly, with her whole body on Xiaofang's body, and under the watchful eyes of the people around her, she slowly walked into the embroidery building next to her.
"Steward, I'm the servant girl of Prince Rong's mansion. This is my third wife. The wife is here for a little day, and I want to borrow your dressing room."
As soon as they heard that they were from the palace, the steward dared not refuse, so he hurriedly led the two of them to the dressing room.
Entering the dressing room, Xiaofang quickly closed the door, then looked at Shi Fuxin: "Ma'am, what happened?"
Shi Fuxin walked to the window and looked towards the Millennium Building opposite: "There is something wrong with the Millennium Building. I'm going to go straight into the Millennium Building. I think I'll fall into the trap."
Xiao Fang was in a hurry: "Then let's leave quickly."
Shi Fuxin: "There's no rush, let's have a look first."
Shi Fuxin released her mental power and directly monitored the box where the sixth prince was.
"Is half-step Huan on?"
"It's on, but Your Highness, Mrs. Yao San is the apprentice of the old man Tianchi, and she may sense something is wrong."
The sixth prince snorted and said: "Banbuhuan was bought by the regent from the Western Regions back then. Even if a person only takes half a sip, she will be recruited. As long as Shishi enters this private room, she will not be able to escape."
"I heard that she is still doing filial piety to the old man in Tianchi, and has never had a bridal chamber with Chu Yao. Hmph, I will let His Highness exercise the power of her husband on behalf of Chu Yao later."
'Listening' to the conversation between the sixth prince and his confidant, Shi Fuxin's face was extremely gloomy, and what surprised her was still behind, she actually saw the prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince also entered the restaurant.
"Lao Liu, that idiot probably won't be able to take down Shi Shi, and then we have to help Lao Liu, and make sure that he and Shi Liuxing have nothing to do with each other."
"With the witnesses of us, I am not afraid that Shi Shi will not admit it."
"It doesn't matter if Shi Shi doesn't admit it, anyway, her reputation is not good. With our testimony, outsiders will only believe us."
Hearing this, Shi Fuxin understood that the person who followed her before should be the Prince's.
These princes are really powerful, why did they cast such a big net against her!
While Shi Fuxin was thinking about how to solve the problem before her, she saw the second head of the Sea Turtle Gang who had wiped out the Yuan family openly appear in the building, her eyes lit up.
