Distressed Concubine

Chapter 26 Investigate
A refreshing sneer rose from the corner of his mouth, I'm afraid the Beichang family is not the only stronghold!
She would never allow someone to develop collaterals under her eyelids.It's time to clean up the capital city!

"Go, tell Uncle Xu to start the investigation in the capital first, and seal every family found!"

"Yes!" Qing Luo took the order, and asked after a little thought: "How to check? Most of the shops in the capital have been around for a few years, I'm afraid there are many secret channels. The shopkeepers are also old people, so it's really hard to check directly."

Nalan Ruixue's eyes flashed a sly look. "Check the account books! Check the income and expenditure, especially during the severe drought in Nantong last year, as long as you can make a profit without losing money, let me check it carefully."

Qingluo instantly understood, yes!Any stronghold is naturally supported by someone with a lot of money, and the news channel needs the accumulation of popularity. It seems that not only restaurants, inns, brothels, casinos and other places must not be let go!
"Miss, I'm going now."

"Remember to change clothes."

"Yes."

Qingluo backed out, and after a while, Qingfu ran in excitedly.

"Miss, miss, I just heard some great news! Prince Beigong Sheng from Bei, Bei, Beichang is coming to Nantong in early April!"

what!Nalan Ruixue was startled.

Qingfu took a breath, and then continued: "I heard it was for the selection of concubines, Lord Beigong Sheng, my God, the whole street was a sensation. Miss, you married too early! How about you still participate in the election?" Concubine. I heard that all officials above the third rank, as long as they are daughters who have not left the cabinet, must participate in the election."

She clenched her fists tightly, and her onion-like nails dug into the heart of the flesh.

Bei Gongsheng!Do you really think you are a character?

But the anger turned to anger, and an ominous premonition quickly rose in her heart. He must be coming for her, but she still didn't believe it. Could it be that he dared to snatch the marriage?
Qing Fu, however, was chattering beside her with eyes full of admiration. "Miss, he is the most handsome man in the world. I heard that none of the women who met him didn't want to marry him. He is more popular than you. When I came back, I saw some embroidered women entered Aunt Hui's house. Maybe it's for Nalan Yingchun to start making arrangements."

Nalan Ruixue's hand that was pouring water paused slightly, remembering his dazzling face, she frowned and said, "That's it."

"What?" Qingfu was a little confused.

"It's nothing." With a bit of embarrassment, she hurriedly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

In the night, a group of silver-armored soldiers ran forward at a neat pace. The moonlight shone on the silver-armored light, shining dazzlingly. Their movements were consistent and their faces were cold. They were obviously different from the soldiers they saw every day, and their military discipline was extremely good. .

Beside him was a man in a white robe. He was very thin. Although he was not tall, his face revealed a trace of indifference.

"Listen to my order! Now all shops are banned for three days, especially restaurants, inns, brothels, casinos, and tea houses are strictly blocked. From now on, no one is allowed to be released!"

"Yes!" A neat and loud voice rang out in the silent night, and every household was alarmed by the sound, but when they looked out, all the buildings were blocked.

The spears glowing with silver light and the soldiers who are motionless make people feel terrified. There are lifelike tiger heads carved in front of their silver armors, ferocious and mighty.

Under the dark night sky, the torches were slowly rising, the faces of the soldiers were as bright as torches, and the silver armor was even brighter, making the people feel uneasy.

"What's going on here?"

"I don't know, it seems to be a soldier from Fuhu Camp."

"Why is the street closed?"

"I don't know."

The door of the pavilion at the farthest corner of the Yanyu Building knocked three times, Jiang Feng opened the door, and a figure flashed in from outside immediately.

"Major General Jiang, another soldier has come to investigate."

"Understood, you go out first."

"Yes."

The figure withdrew, Jiang Feng walked to the window, opened it slightly, looked at the situation outside, his eyes moved darkly, Shen Mou walked to a bronze lotus lamp, gently turned the base, the spring "clicked" The sound came.

With only two sounds, the bed board in the room was slowly opened, and a tunnel appeared before the eyes, with a heavy wind sound.

He stepped in, and the bed board was slowly closed again, and the room returned to coolness and silence.

Jiang Feng walked down the bluestone tunnel slowly. The tunnel was somewhat damp and the oil lamp was dim.

Half a quarter of an hour later, he arrived in front of a stone gate, turned the green dragon head on the gate, and the stone gate opened in response.

Walking in and taking a look, there is a lot of heaven and earth inside.

The stone room is as wide as a hall, with all kinds of daily necessities. On the other side, there are all kinds of sheepskin maps on the huge stone table, and the stone door he came in, there are several in the room, which can be seen This is not the only channel.

Bei Gongcheng was standing in front of the stone table, studying the map of Nantong newly sent by the dark guard.

He didn't lift his head when he heard footsteps. "Is someone checking again?"

"How does the prince know?" Jiang Feng was a little surprised.

He pointed to the top of his head. "There is an echo."

Jiang Feng nodded. "It's from Fuhu Camp."

"Oh?" Bei Gongcheng raised his head when he heard the words, his black pupils flashed, and he revealed an inscrutable smile. "You really think highly of me."

"My lord had a clever plan. After the investigation that day, he asked the spies to change the account books. But, why didn't some companies give notice?"

"You can't leave her nothing, otherwise she will come in person." He flipped through the map casually, feeling a little dissatisfied. There are many mountains in Nantong, and the markings on this map are too simple to be used for military purposes.

"What can I do in person? Could it be that she can still find out this place?" Jiang Feng frowned, noncommittal.

Bei Gongcheng slowly sat on a stone bench covered with tiger skin and carved into the shape of a grand master's chair, and said with a slight smile, "Don't underestimate women, especially her."

"In fact, it's better to fight directly. This is a sure-win situation. Why make this bet? My lord, I think this woman can be cold. If I lose the bet? Is it possible to give up Nantong?"

Bei Gongcheng's eyes flickered sharply. "Nantong is only a few million yuan, don't you think it's a good deal to exchange it for a woman?" These words seem to be weak, but the details are like a sharp knife just out of its sheath, with arrogance.

cost-effective?Jiang Feng was dumbfounded, mosquitoes are also meat, not to mention that although Nantong is not big, it is located on the coast, which is suitable for sea trade.Exchange a piece of land for a woman?
"Golden gold is easy to get, but good generals are hard to find. This is what I want to win the most." His slender fingers tapped on a certain point on the map.

Jiang Feng approached his head, and the vast area under his fingertips, with mountains and mountains, long rivers and lakes, was vast and powerful, and it was the former overlord——Xiyan.

Jiang Feng raised his head slightly, met Wang Ye's shrewd gaze, and instantly understood what Wang Ye meant.

Compared with Xiyan, Nantong is indeed not worth mentioning.The prince did everything possible just to get "Su Mo", that's why he made the bet.If he wins the bet, he will be able to add wings to the tiger, but if he loses the bet, he will protect Nantong Wuyou with his title of God of War. That woman will let go of her guard and will marry the prince with peace of mind.

If "Su Mo" can help the prince complete his great cause, it is not a bad idea to give up the little Nantong. After all, war is not the only solution.When the world is unified, Nantong can just bow his head and proclaim himself a minister.

Such a clever move, Jiang Feng cast admiring glances at the prince.

Bei Gongcheng smiled lightly, he came to Su Mo because he wanted to intimidate and lure him, but he didn't want "he" to be a woman, as if God made a joke on him, but gave him a big gift.

The world, woman?
He clasped his fingers together in front of his chest, and rested his arms lazily on the armrest of the stone chair.

These two things were irrelevant, but now, this woman is his best weapon in the world.

Unexpectedly, he actually felt a little bit of joy.

Jiang Feng thought about it, but still felt something was wrong.

"But... what if Su Mo isn't her? If she really wants to marry Su Mo, will the prince offend Su Mo by blatantly robbing the marriage? It will be too difficult to capture Su Mo in the future. And , once the war with Nantong breaks out, will Xiyan take advantage of it?"

There was a confident light in Bei Gongcheng's eyes. "'Su Mo' is her. Remember, if you see her present with other 'Su Mo' at the same time in the future, you only need to take care of her safety."

"Is the prince so sure?" Jiang Feng still had a little bit of disbelief.

Bei Gongcheng gave him a sideways look!Jiang Feng smiled embarrassedly.

"Then... my lord, if Nantong doesn't bow down to become a minister in the future, what will my lord do?"

Bei Gongcheng paused slightly, the eagle's black eyes were so gloomy that he couldn't see Bai Ren, he could only see a deep pool, after a little thought, he said: "We'll discuss it then."

Jiang Feng was stunned. For the first time, the prince gave such an ambiguous answer.Is it for a bet, or...for her?

The next day the sun was shining brightly, and after a night of blockade in the capital, people were in panic, and all the storekeepers were even more anxious. After the soldiers from the Fuhu Camp came in, they did nothing but look through the account books.

One night, nearly [-] shopkeepers and even a boss with heavy make-up slipped out. They stood under the scorching sun with beads of sweat dripping from their foreheads. I don't know whether they were tanned or frightened.

Seeing that the search was almost complete, the man in white clasped his fists and said loudly: "Fathers and folks, the prince of Beichang Beigong Sheng will come to Nantong to choose a concubine in the near future. Clearance inspection. It will only be sealed for three days, and people's homes will not be checked, so please go back with peace of mind."

"So that's how it was, it scared me."

"It should be, if something happens, we can't afford to mess with Beichang."

The people dispersed with murmurs.

The man in white looked at the twenty or so shopkeepers in front of him, and said coldly, "All follow me."

Under the escort of Fuhuying soldiers, a group of people walked to Shuntian Mansion Yamen.

In the majestic Gao Ya Nei, Xue Fu Yin is sitting on a needle felt as if sitting on a needle felt at the moment. A man wearing a unicorn head mask sits on the main seat. There were as few as 30 people, but they were silent.

Xue Fuyin wiped the sweat from his brow, and whispered to the yamen servant beside him: "Why don't the people from the household department come!"

The yamen servant Mouse sneaked a glance at the person in the main seat, and swallowed hard.

"I just went to ask, and I will be there soon. The incident happened suddenly, and the household department is also in a hurry."

Xue Fuyin looked at Xiaowei Su who was still silent, he could only think deeply, resigned to fate, and hoped that he would not offend this great Buddha.

In the age of martial arts, the army was the pillar of a country. In Nantong, military power and imperial power were almost separated.

Although the emperor has some military power in his hands, most of the military power is hereditary from the family of generals.The Fuhu Camp, the most elite army in Nantong, is under the control of the Nalan family.

When Su Mo took over the Fuhu Camp, everyone thought he was the illegitimate son of General Nalan.But at this moment, he is already the general's son-in-law, and the status of a son-in-law is always more honorable than an illegitimate son.

Su Mo has become a member of Nalan's family, and no one dares to mess with him.

As soon as the words were finished, the servant of the household department rushed in, with his official hat on one side, dripping with sweat.

Panting heavily, he looked at the people on the main seat, and said intermittently: "Down, down, see you, I have seen Captain Su."
