Chapter 480: Dark Shadow Detective
Within the old capital, the streets are criss-crossed. There are a variety of shops, which is a little more calm and brilliant than Wangtian City.
Compared with the vigorous Wangtian City, the old capital is more like an old man full of wisdom and vicissitudes of life.
In particular, the strong medicinal fragrance in it made Lin Mengya's spirits lifted. Even when I was sitting in the carriage, I was looking through the window at the bustle of the street outside.
The people arranged by Zuo Qiuchen were already at the gate of the city, greeting them.
Someone received it, and the place where he settled soon appeared in Lin Mengya's sight.
It is not a luxurious inn, nor is it a clean and elegant post station, but a mansion with a simple and unpretentious face, but a very clean mansion inside.
"Here, this is the mansion where the imperial brother lived when he was the crown prince. He and I both grew up here. β
Zuo Qiu Yu introduced with a little excitement, and Lin Mengya took a closer look. The thick and quaint gate, although there is a shadow wall inside, does not look dilapidated at all.
The group walked inside, and the dark bluestone slab floor had obviously been carefully sprinkled and swept over.
Entering the door is a spacious compound, although the corners of the eaves have some traces of time, but they are clean and neat everywhere, which makes Lin Mengya like it very much.
"The county king, the county lord, the emperor has specially ordered, all kinds of people, etc., have been prepared. During the period of the old capital, I hope that all of you will live here for the time being. β
The people arranged by Zuo Qiuchen, Lin Mengya, and they are also familiar with them. It turned out to be a young chamberlain named Yu'an, who was clever and steady.
The most important thing is that he should be loyal to Zuo Qiuchen.
I heard Zuo Qiu Yu mention that this Yu'an has been with Zuo Qiuchen since he was a child, and with him with him, many things can be saved.
"Well, it's really nice here, thank you Cousin Chen for me."
Lin Mengya looked around, her room was placed in a small courtyard in the southwest corner of the house.
Although it is not as magnificent as the main courtyard, there are a lot of verdant bamboos planted in the yard. Under the shade of the bamboo forest, there is a unique artistic conception of winding paths.
As the winding stone path led inside, three scattered houses appeared in her field of vision.
"This is specially prepared by the emperor for the county lord, don't hide it from the county lord, this courtyard, the emperor has been preparing it for you for ten years."
Yu'an said with a smile, and Lin Mengya's heart couldn't help but shock slightly.
In fact, she had some thoughts in her heart, and felt that the reason why Zuo Qiuchen was good to herself was nothing more than because the Qingzheng score might be in her hands.
But a small courtyard built for a cousin who had never met ten years ago.
How could she not know this thought?
"Thank you Cousin Chen for me, I'm very satisfied."
After expressing her gratitude, Lin Mengya stepped forward and pushed open the door.
A burst of unique fragrance of flowers, faint, flowing in the air.
The entrance is a small flower hall, and on the left hand side is an inner room where people can rest. On the right-hand side are bookshelves and desks.
Directly opposite, a picture of green bamboo, I don't know which craftsman's masterpiece, although the painting is thin bamboo, but because of the happy birds in the bamboo forest, a little more lively temperament.
Below is a soft collapse, and the top is covered with lotus root pink blankets.
This room, not to mention, is really like a boudoir of my daughter's house.
As soon as she saw the satisfied smile on Lin Mengya's face, Yu An also retreated with interest.
In the room, only Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu were left.
"Cousin Chen really has a heart, it seems that my trip is not a loss."
Lin Mengya has never seen anything, no matter how rare it is, there is no shortage in her yard.
I am afraid that it is just Zuo Qiuchen's thoughts.
"Well, it's kind of dedicated. You're tired after a long day's journey, so rest early. β
Everything here, Long Tianyu didn't seem to see.
Neither comment, nor anything bored.
From his brother-in-law Lin Nansheng to these two cheap cousins, along the way, Long Tianyu has long been used to it, and Lin Mengya's family treats her like a pearl baby.
However, in his heart, he has made up his mind that he must be a hundred times and a thousand times in the future, and spoil Lin Mengya.
This kind of comparison with no reason, if Lin Mengya knew about it, she would definitely laugh at him for being naΓ―ve.
But Long Tianyu just doesn't want any man to fall into her eyes.
Not even if it's her biological brother!
"Don't worry, now we're in the old capital. Those who are led away by us will receive news in the near future. Do the math, how much time do we have? β
Long Tianyu's subordinates were basically distributed around, spying on the whereabouts of the people who were tracking them.
However, there are many forces hanging behind them, but Lin Mengya is staggered.
Su Mei and the others were a wave, and they were led to other roads by that team of empty carriages, so they fell behind.
There were a lot of people who followed them, about five or six people.
Except for one team sent by Cousin Chen to protect them secretly, most of the rest also want to be unfavorable to them.
However, Xu was because the time had not come, and along the way, these people were calm and did not see a splash.
Lin Mengya naturally tried her best to mislead them all.
Therefore, if you count from now on, there should be a short vacuum period that can completely isolate those eyes that are stuck in the back.
If you want to do something, at this time, I am afraid it is the most suitable.
"Probably, three days. Those people are fast on their feet. However, there are too many people who want to go into town. At their speed, they should be in the city in three days. β
Long Tianyu estimated it in his heart before he said conservatively.
They were able to come in so smoothly, in fact, Long Tianyu's ruthlessness to Zhu Gongzi was a great help.
Otherwise, if you want to enter the city, it is estimated that you will have to wait tomorrow at the earliest.
"Three days, you should be able to. Let's go, let's go find Cousin Yu and Liu Xuan. β
After thinking about it in her heart, Lin Mengya already had a plan.
These three days are very precious and should not be wasted.
As for the exhaustion of the body, after three days, she had her own time to rest.
When the time comes, she will have to visit the beautiful scenery of the old capital!
The sky, as soon as it was bright, black shadows spread out from the prince's treasure without realizing it.
The merchants on the street who got up early to do small business only felt a breeze blowing, as if a dark shadow was floating in front of their eyes.
I rubbed my eyes, but found that there was no one.
Perhaps, it's just my own eyes.
The black shadow flies the eaves and walks the wall, I don't know when, where it is hidden. However, a few hours later, as soon as the city gate opened, those dark shadows completely disappeared into the sunlight.
As night fell, the crowd that had been bustling on the streets all day gradually dispersed. The city gate was closed, and those figures who had been hidden early in the morning seemed to have made an appointment, and one by one, they returned to the prince's treasure.
All the black-clothed people, in a very orderly manner, went into the study of Tai Low Baodi one by one.
didn't need to say anything, just took out a letter sealed with fire paint from his bosom, handed it to Yu'an with a serious face, and disappeared in front of everyone in an instant.
In Prince Baodi's study, Lin Mengya shrunk into a wide chair.
She's only slept for four hours since yesterday.
The little hand covered his mouth and gave a small yawn. Although there were dark circles in front of him, there was a flash of light in those watery eyes, and there was no sense of sleepiness at all.
"Back to the county lord, there are a total of one hundred and seventy-eight letters here, of which thirty-five are with red fire paint, sixty-five are with black fire paint, and the rest are gray fire paint."
After sorting out the envelope, Yu'an replied respectfully.
Lin Mengya's gaze swept over the envelopes, but her brows furrowed slightly.
The red ones are the diehards who belong to Cousin Chen's faction, and the black ones are the diehards of the old faction. The gray ones are wavering, or centrists who are not offended on either side.
Although, the old school does not account for the most, but in the end, the situation of Cousin Chen is not optimistic.
As for the contents of the envelope, it was Lin Mengya who asked someone to sneak into the house to investigate.
But the strange thing is that it's all trivial. Although everything is not too small, even if there are some extra things added to the house, it must be written clearly.
But there are no secrets, even Long Tianyu and Zuo Qiuyu can't figure out what Lin Mengya is thinking.
"I know, probe. Within two days, all the families who came to the old capital to observe the ceremony, I asked them to make a detailed report on a series of things they did after they settled down. Tell them that they don't need to go into the core to investigate. However, everything must be recorded and there must be no mistakes! β
Yu'an immediately asked someone to make arrangements, Lin Mengya opened a red lacquer envelope at random, and then, after just a glance, threw it into the stove and burned it.
"Girl, you're-"
Busy all day, just to look at it and throw it away?
Not to mention that Zuo Qiu Yu couldn't sit still, even Long Tianyu, who had always been steady, couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at his princess.
"I'm analyzing the situation of each family, but don't worry, these things won't be wasted, just wait for me."
Although Lin Mengya said this, after giving them a comforting smile, she kept tearing open the envelope, and then burned it at a glance.
The other three men in the room were becoming more and more confused. What is this girl's idea?
The burning smell of the paper finally had no possibility of further aggravation after Lin Mengya finished reading the last gray envelope.
At this time, Lin Mengya's eyes were a little dull and she sat on the chair. Empty eyes, I don't know which direction in the void I am looking at.
But if you are careful, you will find that her fingers seem to be doing some kind of regular activity.
