The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 273 Lead the snake out of the hole
According to Emperor Tuzhen's original intention, the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday should at least be celebrated for nine days or more. The celebration time was changed to three days.

As the son of Dongping County Prince and the grandson of the Empress Dowager, Mu Xu naturally had no free time for these three days, and he finally finished his work in the middle of the night on the third day.He didn't rest the next day either, he summoned Zhang Cheng and others to the mansion early to discuss the matter of Maitreya Sect.When everyone came together, he first set the tone, "I have reported to His Majesty that the police report came from the Wang family. Your Majesty means that once reliable evidence is found, the capital and Jinling will arrest the relevant persons at the same time. Appease."

Others paid it off, Jia Lian was the first to get anxious when he heard this, and asked quickly, "My lord, I don't know how to deal with the members of the Wang family, will they all be implicated?"

Mu Xu understood Jia Lian's worries, after all, since ancient times, whenever a rebellion was involved, the three clans would be judged as crimes, and the nine clans would be punished at worst.However, he still gave Jia Lian a reassurance, "Don't worry, I have already begged His Majesty, and His Majesty has said well that as long as you don't know about it beforehand and don't participate in it, you won't be implicated."

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, first bowed three times in the direction of the palace, and then sincerely thanked Mu Xu, "Thank you for your protection, my son, this kindness will never be forgotten!"

"Okay, we're all on our own, so there's no need to talk about outsiders." Mu Xu waved his hand to signal Jia Lian to sit down, then turned his gaze to Zhang Cheng and Feng Ziying, "Do you two have a good plan?"

The two looked at each other, and Zhang Cheng first expressed his opinion, "In my opinion, since we already know the real identity of Jing Huan, this matter will be much easier to handle. Why don't we send someone to keep an eye on the Jinling Wang's family all the time? As soon as she showed up, arrests were made immediately."

"I think Mr. Zhang's method is safe, but it may not be effective." Feng Ziying met the eyes of several people and raised objections, "Just imagine, everyone, that Jing Huan has been hiding in the dark by feigning death since he was fifteen years old. After so many years, the royal family members have not found any clues, she must have a way to contact the family in private, if we choose to sit on the sidelines, how long will we have to wait, one month, two months, or one year, two years?"

Mu Xu nodded, agreeing with Feng Ziying's opinion, "Ziying's consideration is not unreasonable, if the vigilante does not show up for a long time, not only will we not be able to catch people by doing this, we may even startle the snake and make him vigilant. It will be even more difficult to catch her in the future." Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Feng Ziying, "I forgot to ask you, did Li He send the portrait of Jing Huan?"

Fortunately, Feng Ziying's answer did not disappoint Mu Xu, "Yes, Li He found a few maids who had served her before, and after some summarization, the artist asked the artist to draw her appearance before she came out of the cabinet."

Jia Lian also added, "It's no wonder the son is suspicious of going to the Wang family. I have seen the portrait, and it is indeed quite similar to our second wife when she was young."

"That's good. With her young appearance, and comparing it with Jia Wang's current appearance, she can infer Jing Huan's current appearance. This matter will be handled by Jia Xiong. After all, it is not easy for others Meet Jia Wang."

"Yes, I will finish this matter as soon as possible." Jia Lian readily agreed to Mu Xu's request.

"Let's go back to the question Ziying raised earlier, and figure out how to catch the alarm as soon as possible."

After Feng Ziying vetoed the proposal, Zhang Cheng had been pondering in his heart. At this time, he had a rough idea. Hearing Mu Xu's words, he immediately said, "Since it's not good to wait for the rabbit, let's try to lure the snake out of the hole. For example, Make a fuss about Zhen Baoyu and Jing Huan's father."

As soon as this remark came out, Mu Xu and the others felt that it was very feasible, and immediately started talking about it.In the end, everyone unanimously came to the conclusion that although Zhen Baoyu is the son of Jing Huan, since he has already used him to attract thieves before, it may not be effective if he does it again. Looking at it now, using Jing Huan's father Wang Chong is the best strategy.

Thinking of Jia Lian's saying that Wang Chong was not sociable, Mu Xu couldn't help but have an idea in his heart, but he had to ask Jia Lian to confirm, "Brother Jia Shi will go back today and ask Wang Ren again. It's best to understand that. Wang Chong's daily activities."

Seeing that Jia Lian nodded in agreement, Mu Xu turned to Zhang Chengdao again, "You inform Li He, and ask him to check carefully the people in Wang Chong's mansion, as well as the vicinity of the residence."

Zhang Cheng replied, "Don't worry, my son, I will let him handle this matter well."

Feng Ziying understood Mu Xu's thoughts a little bit, he interrupted and asked, "Your Majesty, you want to control that Wang Chong in our hands, and then release news to attract that Jing Huan to throw himself into the trap?"

Mu Xu nodded approvingly to Feng Ziying, "That's right, that's exactly what I thought. Since Wang Chong is Wang Ziteng's uncle, he is already a man who buried half his neck in the loess. At this age, there is something wrong with it. Is it normal? As his daughter, no matter how ruthless Jing Huan is, she should come back to see her father for the last time, right?"

"Of course, if we want to do this perfectly, we must firmly control Wang Chong's mansion from top to bottom. Otherwise, as long as there is a problem in one link, the success will definitely fall short! Fortunately, Brother Jia came from Judging from what Wang Renna has heard, this matter is not impossible."

Jia Lian said with a smile, "My uncle once said that his cousin lived in seclusion and didn't like to associate with his family members. Now it seems that he is trying to cover for his daughter, but it's a crooked way and it's convenient for his subordinates. Brothers work."

"Although that is the case, don't be careless. Let's go to work now. When I catch Jing Huan, I will ask His Majesty for everyone's credit!" Mu Xu got up and clapped his hands, making a promise for several people.

The three of them agreed with a bang, and then they bid farewell to Mu Xu and filed out.Mu Xu stretched for a while, planning to go back to the back house to rest for a while.When he passed by the screen wall of the main hall, Hongxiu came to look for him, saying that his mother wanted to discuss something with him, so he had no choice but to go to his mother's place again.

Princess Changning was reclining on the couch with her eyes closed, when she heard footsteps outside the door, she opened her eyes and beckoned to Mu Xu.

"Mother, why are you looking for your son?"

Princess Changning didn't reply to Mu Xu's words, she just got up and sat up straight, and told all the maids in the room, "You all go down, I have something to say with the son." When there were only mother and son left in the room, she continued. Said, "Just now when I went to see Brother Mao, Yu'er told me that you want to take a concubine, when do you want to do it?"

Mu Xu replied embarrassingly, "I can do whatever I want, I don't have any requirements."

"You, why are you still embarrassed in front of your mother?" Princess Changning shook her head with a smile, and then said, "I heard that Yu'er said that this time you are married to Xue's sister. How can I say it? I saw you when I returned to Beijing last time. I passed that girl, she looks really good. But there are some things to say about being a mother. I have no objection to your concubine, but you have to take care of your back house. You must know that today is different from the past, and now you have children , if you hurt the child because of the unrest in the back house, I will forgive you!"

Mu Xu knew that his mother had good intentions, so he quickly promised, "Mother, don't worry, my son will take care of it. Besides, Yu'er and the others are kind-hearted women, and they will not do those acts of jealousy."

"I don't worry if you say that. Since ancient times, the back house of a big family has been a small harem. Those women can do anything to compete for favor, especially when they have children." Princess Changning told Mu Xu pulled to sit beside her, and said earnestly,

"Take the matter of taking a concubine for you this time. If my mother had been there at the time, she would never have agreed to this matter. It's not that my mother has any objections to that girl Xue, but because you already have a Mrs. Xue in your inner house, and They are also sisters, and it is easy to shake Yu'er's position as the main wife in the long run, which is not conducive to the peace of the back house."

Mu Xu wanted to say that Baochai and Baoqin were not that kind of people, but he swallowed the words. He was not afraid that his mother would not believe him, but he himself was not sure that they would never change. After all, people are selfish Yes, who can tell what will happen in the future?
