Chapter 404: Separate Actions
It is inevitable to do things with your own selfishness, and Li Xin is no exception, but no matter what you do, you must know which is more important, for the current Li Xin, he and Taikang Tianzi are on the same front, so the affairs of the Pingnan Hou Mansion are his business.
After Li Xin came out of the palace, he did not go to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion for the first time, but went home and changed into civilian clothes and walked on the street of Yongle Fang.
Dong Cheng, who was also in civilian clothes, followed behind Li Xin, half a position behind Li Xin.
"Gonggong Dong, has there been any movement in the Pingnan Hou Mansion in the past few days?"
Dong Cheng shook his head: "Zheng Gui, the head of the Zheng family, never came out after entering, but the young people who came over with the Zheng family have often wandered around Yongle Fang these days and bought a lot of cultural toys and other things. ”
"There were about five or six of them."
Li Xin frowned slightly.
Now the water in the capital is too turbid, and one of the biggest reasons for the turbidity of the capital is because of Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, and now the Zheng family does not hesitate to come to this muddy water, not to mention, but also bring a lot of young people?
Li Shen is so sure that Taikang Tianzi will not flip the table and kill people?
The Zheng family is so nervous, come and send them to the cage and take the young people?
Li Xin became more and more unable to understand the situation.
While talking to Dong Cheng, he walked towards a teahouse.
This teahouse, called Tingfeng Teahouse, has three floors high, is a relatively tall building in the whole Yongle Fang, and is also the tea house with the best reputation in the whole Yongle Fang.
This Tingfeng teahouse is the handiwork of the fourth prince Ji Huan.
Several princes who stayed in the capital at the beginning, each with their own ways to make money, this listening to the wind building, although the place is not big, but the money earned is not less than the proud building on the bank of the Qinhuai River.
It's just that after His Royal Highness the King of Qi was defeated and left the capital, Tingfeng Lou was naturally taken over by the Taikang Emperor, and now it is used as one of the strongholds of Tianmu Prison in the capital.
Li Xin sat down on the second floor of this listening building, and Dong Cheng sat cautiously opposite him.
"Are you sure that Li Shen is still in the Pingnan Hou Mansion?"
"This is naturally confirmed."
Dong Cheng bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty has also told you many times about this matter, our Tianmu Supervisor does not dare to slack off, and sends people to visit the Pingnan Hou Mansion every day to confirm that the Pingnan Hou is still in the capital." ”
Li Xin nodded, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
"It's good that he's still in the capital."
In comparison, Li Shen is far more dangerous than Li Yan, and Li Xin would rather face a Pingnan army led by Li Yan than a Pingnan army led by Li Shen.
The two of them sat here for a while, and a spy from Tianmu Prison put several stacks of materials in front of Li Xin, and Dong Cheng bowed his head slightly: "Master Hou, this is the news that our Tianmu Prison has inquired about the Zheng family in Xingyang in the past few days, or the process of monitoring the Pingnan Hou Mansion, are all here." ”
Li Xin glanced at the paperwork on the table and took a deep breath.
"Can I take it back and see it?"
The smile on Dong Cheng's face froze, and then he quickly reacted, and said with a smile: "These are copies of transcriptions, and it is natural for Hou Ye to take them to see, but it is best for Hou Ye to burn them all after reading them, otherwise it will be spread out, and our Tianmu Prison will suffer sins in front of His Majesty." ”
Li Xin smiled and put these documents into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Of course, Li knows the rules." ”
Li Xin slowly walked down the teahouse.
He slowly walked in the direction of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
In fact, the Pingnan Hou Mansion and the Jing'an Hou Mansion are both in the same place, not far apart, and the exchange is just a pillar of incense.
The main entrance of Pingnanhou Mansion, facing Yongle Street, is a more lively street in Yongle Fang, but most of the luxury goods sold on this street are cultural toys and antiques, and it is the highest consumption place in the entire capital.
Li Xin walked to the second floor of a teahouse in Pingnanhou's Mansion, looked in the direction of Pingnanhou's Mansion, and then turned around and went home.
Originally, I was going to go to Pingnanhou Mansion, but it was already evening, and it was not only inappropriate to go to the door at this time, but also very embarrassing.
He Li Xin is not a small person now.
…………
The next morning, the morning sun was shining.
At this time, it is already autumn, the weather is much cooler, and it is also one of the most comfortable seasons, Li Xin is still wearing a slightly thin summer coat, and he has breakfast at home with Zhong Xiaosnack.
This is a habit he has developed, as long as he is at home, no matter what he has to do, he will accompany Zhong Xiaoxiao at home for a meal before going out.
Mu Ying wore a court dress of Yu Linwei and walked in hurriedly.
Li Xin smiled and beckoned to him: "Brother Mu has eaten, come and eat together." ”
Zhong Xiaoxiao also beckoned to Mu Ying.
"Brother Muying is good."
Mu Ying has been in Li Xin's house all the year round, so Zhong Xiaoxiao is no stranger to him, at least he dares to speak.
Mu Ying sat down, smiled at Zhong Xiaoxiao, and then looked at Li Xin a little helplessly: "When is it, you still have the heart to eat." ”
"You can't skip a meal at any time."
Li Xin wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, stood up, and said with a smile: "I remember that it's not a big deal, why is Brother Mu in a hurry like this, what's wrong, your sister is lost?" ”
"What nonsense."
Mu Ying let out a breath and frowned: "Didn't you send someone to inform me and tell me to go to the palace to see the Son of Heaven today, I haven't seen this Son of Heaven yet, what do you say I should say if I go?" ”
Li Xin gave him a blank look.
"Haven't you seen the first emperor, what you said last time, what you said this time."
"Just tell the truth."
Li Xin put the handkerchief into his sleeve and glanced at Mu Ying lightly: "I don't expect you to lie, you can say whatever you have to say, the Son of Heaven asked you about the Mu family, and you told him that your father went to Yongzhou to see me twice, if he asks you what I talked about with your father, you will say that you don't know." ”
In fact, Mu Ying really didn't know the specific content of the conversation, the first conversation, he was guarding the door, and the second conversation, he only listened to part of it.
While talking, the two of them walked to the gate of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.
Mu Ying stubbornly said: "Okay, I'll just give it a try, even if it doesn't work, it's great not to do things in Yulinwei, just go to the forbidden army with you." ”
Li Xin patted him on the shoulder.
"It's good to have this idea, you can go."
Li Xin stepped forward and walked to the other side.
Mu Ying was dumbfounded.
"Aren't you going into the palace with me?"
Li Xintou didn't reply: "I have other things." ”
"It's good that you can go with confidence, I said hello to you, and someone will lead you in when you get to Yonganmen, such an adult, do you have to take you there?"
Mu Ying touched her nose a little stupidly.
"Damn, just go, can you still eat Lao Tzu?"
Mu Dalang turned over and got on his horse and walked in the direction of the palace.
On the other side, Li Xin, with Chen Sixteen and a few retinues, walked to the gate of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, which was not far from the Jing'an Hou Mansion.
Li Xin put his hands in his sleeves, looked up at the plaque of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and then said indifferently: "Sixteen, go and call the door, and say that Li Xin, the Marquis of Jing'an, came to visit the Pingnan Hou on behalf of the Son of Heaven, as well as the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang." ”
The one-armed Chen Sixteen bowed his head and walked towards the gate of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
