But She’s So Charming

"Let me ask you, did you find the spy who gave the message to Cheng Anbo?" Anru'er said.

"The slave and maid have been contacted, and the princess has done a good job. The government has indeed begun to work in the restaurant in the Chaming Lou." Peier bowed.

The Minglou in the capital is full of guests every day, and business is booming. But many dignitaries in the capital know that this place, on the surface, is a restaurant, but in fact it is an organization that specializes in dealing with the private affairs of various households.

Just like Anjou's investigation of Tang Wu, in order not to stick his hands to dust, it was also checked by the spies in Minglou.

It stands to reason that there are many places like this in the past dynasties, and the government is inconvenient to uproot. Many times they turn one eye and close one eye. But why does Your Majesty today suddenly order this Minglou to be investigated?

To put it bluntly, it's because of the money.

Two decisions made by Yan State this year are quite popular among the people. One is to reduce taxes and the other is to increase military pay.

But where does the military pay come from? Not yet from the treasury!

If the national treasury cannot make ends meet, it will naturally be a major event. For this reason, King Ying personally wrote a letter to investigate these court scourges. In this way, the seized silver could be confiscated, and the best of both worlds.

The spies in Minglou are efficient, but likewise, they collect a lot of money. Especially the people who can find spies to deal with this private matter are mostly corrupt officials and high-ranking family heads.

Such a person, in order to make the spies seal their mouths, they are also generous, and over time, the appetite of the spies in this Minglou is raised.

The heavenly family dare not increase taxes at will, but these people dare to blatantly threaten and blackmail things. This Minglou has naturally become a thorn in your Majesty's eyes.

It is said that a wife in Anjuer’s inner house shouldn’t have known about this, but she saw Lin Xiu off that day. On the way back, she ran into Yu Zhen who was investigating the case around Cheng’an Bo’s house. She got out of the carriage and observed It took a long time before I faintly noticed something was wrong.

After all, if the government wants to find out the building, it is equivalent to checking her.

"Since we have already contacted, it is not too late for this matter. You ask him to go to the Dongfeng Pagoda in the capital tomorrow. I want to see him in person." You know, once the spy was arrested, what she did... I can't hide it anymore.

I have to say that Anru'er has always been thoughtful. Everything she did to Tang Wu, she wiped her hands clean and left no traces, so she was never afraid of others to investigate, because the investigation could not find out. very.

But the only person who had passed the news for her, she had to let him go because of the forces behind the other party.

Unexpectedly, today it was the court who wanted to investigate them.

Inducing Amber to **** the side concubine of the palace, if this charge falls, she is afraid that she will soon follow in her mother's footsteps.

Peer looked at Anruer's nervous expression, and nodded quickly: "The princess, don't worry, the slave and maid will pass on the words."

Hearing this, Anruer helped Peer, then dusted her knees, and said slowly: "I was not good just now. I shouldn't let my anger on you. Peer, now I can believe it. , Only you and Mother Lu, when the matter is resolved, we will live in the house that was bestowed on the outskirts of Beijing. The place is really good, with mountains and rivers, and beautiful scenery. After two or three years, I will I will find a good family for you and marry you! Although this day cannot be as beautiful as before, it will not treat you badly."

Hearing this, Peier couldn't help tearing her eyes, so moved, she choked again and again: "As long as the princess doesn't dislike the servant, the servant is willing to serve the princess forever!"

Anruer said with a smile, go now.

After Pei'er went down, Anru'er sat next to the makeup, rubbing her face while looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she felt really bored and panicked. Once upon a time, she would have become ignorant of herself.

She smirked and wanted to cry.

In this world, who would leave the Broad Avenue not to go, but go to the muddy bottom road?

Not all have been forced.

What she couldn't ask for, what she couldn't wait for, was obtained by the person who had been severely trampled under her feet.

Think back to the time when she first returned to the house.

She admitted that at the moment she saw Tang Wu's face, she was really taken aback, and she also admitted that the **** was both charming and charming.

But no matter how beautiful she was, she didn't pay much attention to her.

Without him, just a woman from Goulan Washe, can she really make the most unattainable man in the capital fascinated by her?

The room was showing off, but Israel's little hoofs that served people.

But she never expected that the **** would turn from a pheasant to a real phoenix overnight.

At this moment, if she still dared to get rid of that bitch's mind, there would be many people who came to find her with a knife.

This is really a trick of God.

——

The next day was the day when the folks held the Lantern Festival, no matter which street it was, it was very hot.

The crowds on the street were bustling, and the traffic was constantly flowing. At about six quarters, Anru'er took Mother Lu and Pei'er together to the Dongfeng Pagoda in the capital.

This Dongfeng Pagoda was originally transformed from a watchtower left by the previous dynasty.

Because the watchtower is a public building, apart from anything else, tall and firm are the biggest features. In the past, the watchtower was not a place for eating, drinking, and playing, but for the convenience of watching the enemy, and for the convenience of observing where it is not. Jinzushimi and so on.

After the three people sat down around a table, Peer took out the poisonous powder she was carrying, and she took a deep breath and tremblingly threw the powder into the cup.

It's a pity that because she was too nervous, she accidentally let the white powder fall on the table. Mother Lu quickly wiped it with her sleeve, "You be safe, no one has come yet. How can you panic like this!"

Anjou's hands were folded back and forth, also tense.

Anruer originally planned to disclose the news of the official investigation building to this spy, and then give him a sum of money so that he could leave the capital and leave the country of Yan earlier.

But Lin Xiu's matter gave her some inspiration.

A large part of the reason why Lin Xiu has come to this day stems from the compassion she shouldn't have.

If you want paper to cover the fire, you have to rely on the old saying-only the mouth of a dead person is the most reliable.

"It's been so long, why haven't people come? But the time is wrong?" Mother Lu said to Pei'er.

The time originally set was the unitary hour, but now it is about to the next four quarters.

"Mother, I personally preached the words, and the time must be right." Peer said.

This kind of waiting is exhausting, even the tea on the table is already cold.

Peer couldn't sit still anymore, pacing back and forth in the room, anxiously said: "Mother, you said, it's not the spy who found something, right?"

"Sit down first. My head hurts when you go back and forth! Let's stop worrying. These spies have always been desperadoes. Seeing silver is better than seeing your mother. The princess promised today. , But it’s more than doubled than before, so he has no reason not to come.” Mother Lu said.

Time flies by. They waited from Youshi to Qiqi to Youshiqi. The reason was that they searched and searched, but they still didn't see anyone until Xushisan.

No one saw it. At this time, there was a lot of movement outside.

The Dongfeng Tower is relatively high, and the outside can be seen clearly by lifting the window screens.

Anjou took a step forward, and at the same time she lifted the window screen, she also lifted the hat on her head, looking forward, she was shocked.

The location of the Minglou is under water!

A large number of officers and soldiers poured into that place, and then there was the sound of collisions of swords and swords. In less than half an hour, the officers and soldiers came out under a group of people...

There are men, women and children...

It's over, it's too late in the end.

Although Anruer didn't know if the scarred man she was looking for was among them, she could only plan for the worst.

If that person was arrested, Prince Ying's Mansion would never be able to recall it again.

She knew very well in her heart that what the spy had in his hands was the secrets of Prince Ying's mansion. In order to survive, he would naturally not keep his previous promises.

It is only a matter of time to betray her.

Anruer quickly figured it out in her heart.

The silver liang she carried on her body today is enough for her to have enough food and clothing for the next half of her life. The only worry now is how to get out of the city.

The carriage is too conspicuous, but she is the only one who knows how to equestrian. Neither Mother Lu nor Pei'er can... take them away, it can only be a burden.

After thinking for a while, Anru'er said to Mother Lu and Pei'er: "You don't have to go back to Prince Ying's Mansion for the time being. You take the money first, and I will come back to you when there is a result of this matter."

Not to mention, Anjou's shot is generous! She gave 30% of her silver feet to these two servants!

In this way, even if Mother Lu knew that the princess was going to abandon them, she couldn't tell her dissatisfaction. After all, she can't make any money because she will be a nanny for two lifetimes!

Anruer knew that there was still a seriously ill son in Mother Lu's family, so she took out another silver ticket and stuffed it to her, and then shook her head Jinfeng step onto Pei'er's head.

After Anjuer came out of the Dongfeng Tower, she walked to the side of the carriage, stretched out her hand to take off the horse quat, clamped the stirrup, and swiftly walked towards the gate of the city.

Ying Wang Mansion

"Unexpectedly, the stack of banknotes in Minglou is almost higher than the mountain. It's just a reconciliation. I'm afraid it will be reconciled all night!" After speaking, Yu Frame took a breath and continued. : "His Royal Highness, their booklet that records the secrets of each household, shall we continue to check it?"

King Ying's fingers rubbed the cup and the cup, and he said word by word: "Let's put the book up. The water is clear and there will be no fish. If you really check it down, most of the life of the capital will not be used."

Yu Jian bowed and nodded, and then said: "His Royal Highness, there is a spy out there. It must be said that there is something to report about Princess Ying. The subordinates just asked him, and he said that he would only speak to His Highness."

King Ying raised the corner of his eyes and whispered: "Let him in."

This person is dressed in black walking clothes, with a high nose, sharp eyes, and a scar on his face. It is said that such an orientation is more than enough to scare the elderly and children.

He respectfully saluted King Ying, and then said: "The Cao Min has seen His Royal Highness."

To put it mildly, he is also a member of the world, and he doesn't give much courtesy. Before King Ying would let him speak, he took the lead and said: "The Caomin came today just to change his way of life."

King Ying's eyes darkened, he held up the tea cup on the side, and sips lightly, "Let's listen."

The Scar Man didn't hesitate, and took out two pages of paper directly from his arms.

There were torn marks on the edges of these two pieces of paper. King Ying knew at a glance that the two pages of paper should have been torn from the secret book.

Yu Jian stepped forward to take it, and then passed it to King Ying.

One of them is marked with Princess Ying, and the other is marked with Mrs. Wu'anhou.

King Ying didn't think much about it, but when he looked down, he became more frightened as he watched.

Here, it not only records how Anru'er found Tang Wu's identity, but also recorded how they led Tang Wu to Wu'anhou's Mansion, and even recorded the entire process of delivering messages to Cheng Anbo.

At this moment, King Ying felt a bang in his head.

He suddenly remembered that night.

It was the night when she went to Longhua Temple and was almost insulted.

That night, he wanted to stay there, but he didn't realize it. As soon as he opened the door, he saw her tremblingly in front of him, her clothes faded away, her hands and feet were blue.

Before he could speak, she tremblingly asked him, Your Highness, will she kill her concubine.

Since he knew that Cheng Anbo had thoughts about Tang Wu that he shouldn't have, he didn't think too much about it. He only felt that he was negligent and let Cheng Anbo take the initiative to take advantage of the loophole.

He didn't expect that all of this was planned by Anruer.

She had just witnessed the death of a woman from a brothel in the Marquis Mansion in Wu'an during the day, and was almost completely bullied in the Buddhist hall...

When I returned to the palace, I still wanted to continue to greet him, carefully to please him.

King Ying breathed, he always thought he made an exception for her, and good enough...

He didn't know until this moment.

He even made her suffer so many wrongs.

Scar Man watched the two pieces of paper gradually deform in King Ying's hands, and felt that the time had come, so he said: "His Royal Highness is holding a manuscript, and the other manuscript is for Caomin to put it elsewhere."

"Are you threatening this king?" King Ying said.

"Naturally, I dare not threaten, but as long as His Royal Highness is willing to release Caomin this time, Caomin promises that he will never return to Dayan in this life, otherwise, the dog will jump the wall if he is anxious."

When Yu Frame saw that this person was disrespectful to His Highness, he immediately reached out and clamped his neck.

Scar Man continued: "His Royal Highness is indeed powerful, and Minglou can be wiped out overnight! But no matter how wise your Highness is, there will be no fish slipping through the net! It's okay to chop off my head and hang it at the city gate, but Caomin promised that within three days, Manchuria will know that the side concubine of Prince Ying's Mansion is the top card in Goulan Washery!"
