Chapter 31: Discovery of the Conspiracy
The sky gradually darkened, the entire Marquis of Wu Wen also on the red lanterns, up and down a busy, can not see a little bit of ordinary people's homes should be quiet at night.
Zhennan Princess Luo Yun symbolic dinner went back, in accordance with the reasoning, the whole marquis on the should also rest, but look at that underlings slave girl rush to, rush to the demeanor, but shows a more busy demeanor.
And from the marquis northwest corner of the side door, non-stop there are top quality gold mud brick, glazed tile, cedar and other materials transported in, even with signs of construction.
Caused by such a busy reason is only one, is the evening, the imperial decree of the harem came down, the empress dowager intends to let the marquis of wu wen family and the yuanfei lady to form a kinship, and ten days later, the yuanfei lady LuangDi back to the province, in order to solve the pain of missing their hometowns.
This is a big thing, but more than the princess driving to the residence to be much more grand, etiquette is much more cumbersome, big construction that is necessary.
Princess driving residence just set incense to meet, the Queen to the residence that a cadre of women have to kneel to welcome.
But this is also a great honor, Wu Wenhou Hong family transformed into a royal relatives, the status of more consolidated and grand.
Marquis of the lively to lively, Hong Yi but fell into a deep thought.
"What's going on here? Could it be that Mrs. Zhao is showing me goodwill? She changed my house and even took the initiative to go to the account office to give me three hundred taels of silver? When did she become so generous? Even if I have befriended the princess, but the princess simply can't control the family matters in the marquis house, I borrowed her might, but only borrowed for a moment, can't borrow for a lifetime, most likely to stabilize my heart now, and then slowly clean me up with Xu Tu."
Outside the window is a patchwork of laurel forests, the bright moon shines down from between the shadows of the trees, below the laurel forests are cleaned, stone tables and benches are exquisite and elegant, next to the rockery, the pool gurgles.
Inside the compartment, the screen bed and couch, the inner room and outer room, everywhere is good wood. Spacious and comfortable.
The inner room was the room where Hong Yi lived, and the outer room was where the four maids serving him rested.
At night, as long as there was something, with a gentle call, the maids in the outer room would have to immediately get up and listen to their master's orders.
This was the treatment of a young master of a standard marquis residence. This environment, however, was a hundred times better than the small compound in the northwest corner where Hong Yi originally lived.
At this moment, Hong Yi was sitting on the bed, which had an embroidered silk quilt and a smoky aroma, which made people feel the flavor of wealth and prosperity as soon as they lay on it, and did not want to get up.
But Hong Yi did not lie down, but sat on the bed, also did not light the lamp, closed his eyes in the darkness meditation, the heart calculating.
The original Luo Yun left, Hong Yi learned, Mrs. Zhao to the east side of the Marquis House of the superior room osmanthus room given to their own, and at the same time assigned four maids to wait for their own also let the accountant's office to give their own branch of three hundred taels of silver.
This seems to be a good to himself, want to improve relations, but Hong Yi heart know, things are not so simple.
Do not say that Zhennan Princess Luo Yun and his just a momentary acquaintance, interaction is not deep, even if it is a good friend, Mrs. Zhao can not be so respectful to himself.
To know Mrs. Zhao's two sons, Hong Xi is the first eldest son, later 100% certain to inherit the marquis title of the characters. Now is not a good role, is the imperial army three battalions of the Shen Ji camp commander, identity mysterious, martial arts.
And the second son went to the rich southern province to become an official.
What's more, her mother's family wasn't simple either, several generations of university scholars.
"Regardless of what plots she has, it's better to move out quickly yourself, but that's only after you've won the Lift, then you'll have the right to speak."
Hong Yi had long wanted to move out of the Marquis House, but one had no source of income, and two, as a Marquis, it wasn't like he could just say move out.
Whereas, once one has won the Cultivator, it's different. Cultivation is only a son, while the lifer is the "lord", after winning the lifer, the identity of a big change, a family can be exempted from the court official tax, field tax, servitude.
The so-called gentry do not pay grain.
With this rule, there will be a lot of civilians to join you, sell your body as a slave, and even can be transferred to your name, can avoid taxes.
Although Daqian is in its prime, the taxes are still heavy and there are quite a few laborers.
That is to say, Hong Yi now as long as you win the lift, even if you go out empty-handed, there are a whole lot of people to send money to send silver to send the field to send to join themselves, not half a year, you can build a not small home.
More importantly, the status of the lifts and local officials and equal, see the county officials can be called brother, more can always enter the government office to see the magistrates.
This kind of status, also has the right to speak, in the middle of the marquis, said to move out, rule-speaking Hong Xuanji also has little reason to reprimand and block.
"Yuan Fei ....... Zi Yue ........ What are they going to do? Although I guessed that Miss Yuan Fei is someone from the palace, but still did not think that she is actually the Imperial Noble Consort, late at night out of the palace, martial arts, and went to see relatives ........ Even more and Zi Yue seems to be a friendship, could it be that she is also one of the eight demonic immortals in the world? But she is the princess of Yuan Tu Kingdom ....... It seems that Zi Yue is also a member of the Bai family of Yuan Tu? They reincarnated into Yuan Turk and then entered the Great Qian Palace, I'm afraid it's not as simple as finding the scriptures, could it be that there's some kind of conspiracy?"
Hong Yi at this time, has from Luo Yun mouth sideways know some things, more firmly in his heart of speculation, he encountered in the Western Mountain Autumn Moon Temple of Yuan Fei, must be the current Imperial Consort, Yuan Turk Kingdom Princess.
The world's eight demonic immortals, Bai Ziyue, Yuan Fei, these things characters connected together, Hong Yi vaguely feel that there is not a small conspiracy, in the future, there will certainly be a big event.
"However, what does all this have to do with me? If you are rich, you can help the world, if you are poor, you can do nothing. Now that I am poor and trapped, I can only be alone, what does the matter of those big shots of theirs have to do with me? Even if I want to subvert the Great Qian, I don't have the ability to manage it, with as big a bowl as you have, eat as much rice as you can, to manage things you don't have the ability to manage, that's recklessness, not what a sage does. Still think about your own things."
Hong Yi's mind was spinning with many, many thoughts.
After calming down the thoughts one after another, Hong Yi remembered that he was watching Qian Daozi's painting of plums in the study, thus gaining a deeper understanding of the Maitreya Sutra, and was actually able to take off his shell and travel on a day trip, and now that it was hard for him to settle down, Hong Yi decided to try to see to what extent his Divine Soul had grown.
With a slight visualization, the soul had drifted out.
As soon as Hong Yi's soul left the shell, he felt a flavor of swimming, floating around inside the room, flickering, a moment to here, a moment to there, within ten paces, winking, he felt a bit of ghostly flavor.
There is no doubt that this is the result of the growth of the divine soul.
The original night swim, Hong Yi knows his soul can only float walking, two or three feet off the ground, can not go fast, otherwise there is a risk of damage.
And now ten steps shaking eyes to, although still not the ability to God traveling thousands of miles, but Hong Yi feel can already be far away from the shell.
Hong Yi put the soul floated out, through a short corridor, to the outer room, the outer room inside the bed couch, sleeping four maids, breathing evenly, in the closed eyes, the ears are slightly moving, such as cats and dogs general agility.
Obviously they were maids with hands.
"Monitoring my every move?" Hong Yi laughed coldly.
Right at this moment, a silhouette walked in noiselessly without a sound, and after walking in, patted a maid, who immediately woke up, saw the person in front of her, and softly said, "Sister Zeng?"
Walked in this person, full of silver hair, but the hand is like a two eight girls, it is the old woman who followed the big lady side, but called Sister Zeng.
Sister Zeng raised her hand, signaling the maid to follow, but the person had already walked out.
That maid was very alert, immediately followed out, the two of them stood at the base of the wall and spoke.
"Keep an eye on that kid, if there is a move, immediately report back, see where he went to practice martial arts, what kind of martial arts did he practice? And ......."
Hong Yi then heard the voice.
If he didn't have the ability to divine travel, it would be impossible for him to detect this Sister Zeng, the other party's stance was very skillful.
