Chapter 538: Means
After obtaining Ru Niang's consent, Lu Teng began to engage in Ru Niang's marriage.
After all, this Ru Niang is not the princess' maid. She can be sent to marry in one sentence. There is a lot of preparations and the Wei family needs to solve it.
Naturally, Lu Teng's actions were seen in Luocao's eyes. She found a gap, hurried to find Lu Teng, and asked, "Sister, are you planning to marry Ru Niang?"
"Yes, all the candidates have been found, and Ru Niang agreed." Lu Teng did not intend to hide it from Luocao. This matter could not be hidden from others. There was still somewhere to be needed for Luocao's help later.
Luocao was a little anxious when he heard this, and said, "Sister hasn't asked the princess before? He is arbitrarily determined. If there is anything wrong, the princess's temperament will not blame you for dealing with it like this. I am just worried that the Wei family will inevitably refuse to give up and make the princess unhappy. Sister, why bother? Just let Ru Niang take her in the courtyard. The prince's mansion will not lack a bowl of rice. It's not enough to be with those beauties in the past. The Wei family has nothing to say, and the prince will definitely not look at Ru Niang at first glance."
"Sister, you have been with the princess for so long. Don't you understand the princess' habits?" Lu Teng sighed. "The princess is a little cold outside, but in fact she is still soft-hearted. The princess must not bear to spend a young girl like Ru Niang trapping her in the palace to survive. After all, Ru Niang is still a young girl. If there is something to be done, it will be troublesome. Especially since I have observed that Ru Niang is also a diligent and gentle person. She is not a fox charming boy who wants to climb high branches. Why not give her a way out?"
"That's right, but the Wei family and the Wei family would never let their sister make the decision. How would they plan to deal with Ru Niang?" Luo Cao was a little worried and thought for a while, "Why? Please ask the prince and then deal with it?"
"I have to bother the princess for this little thing. What do you want me to do?" Lu Teng refused Luocao's proposal, and she didn't say anything about it.
The princess didn't look for others, but looked at Ru Niang, which was not without temptation, or she was thinking too much. But doing this well was her opportunity, and it might be able to resolve the princess' misunderstanding of her.
There are many people in the palace, so Green Teng's private actions naturally also have some selfish people who report to Su Yiqing, or give Su Yiqing eye drops. No matter where there are, there will be people who step on the high and low. During this period, the princess obviously treated Green Teng, the dowry maid, and everyone saw it. Although she didn't know what Green Teng had made, she was always a little disgusted.
There are quite a few people staring at the position of the maid next to the princess. If the green vine can be squeezed out, a position will be vacant, and some people will benefit. Even if the green vine’s behavior is a tacit agreement, these people should also analyze it carefully for the princess to avoid the princess’s interest and be blinded.
The so-called analysis is just like Ru Luocao, saying that Ru Niang is just a daughter of a declining nobleman, not to mention that the phoenix with hair fallen is not as good as a chicken. Just say that although Ru Niang is a bit beautiful, she is not a stunning beauty. Compared with the beauties in Linglong Pavilion and Liuli Courtyard before, you don’t have to bother to settle her, just throw it in the courtyard.
The Wei family has nothing to say. With such an example, it can also dispel the idea of those outside, so as not to let go of Ru Niang, and there will be a second and third person. As long as there are fewer people around the prince, someone will try every means to send the beauty in. Since this is the case, leave some less outstanding and easy to control, and it is better to occupy a position.
Su Yiqing did not say anything, nor did she say anything bad, nor did she say something bad. She also had a slight attitude towards those who had eye drops and did not express any disgust.
Green Teng's move was actually in line with her wishes. With her usual style of conduct, she naturally hoped that a clear tragedy would have a good ending.
Without her brains, things can be solved successfully, and she will naturally be happy to see it happen.
Even Yufeng chose the maid who followed her, which is really outstanding. Whether it is to be his favor or the maid really has a sense of compassion, it is a good thing for her.
If the Green Vine dares to do this, I believe there will be a backup plan and will not let the Wei family trouble her. Let's just watch it and see how this Green Vine solves the problem.
A person's mind can also be inferred from the way one solves things.
She had always thought that Green Vine was a maid who was trained and could only obey orders, but now it seems that it is not. It is also true. A subordinate who only obeys orders and has no idea is not a good subordinate. After all, Green Vine is not a maid who only serves tea and water, but a capable subordinate who is placed by Lian Yufeng by her side. It must play an important role at critical moments.
She asked Green Vine to place Ru Niang, just to make the best use of the goods. Green Vine is still very skilled in handling matters, and it also prevents the maid from being too idle, so she will do more things.
Ru Niang's affairs must be solved successfully without leaving any future troubles, and without affecting the reputation of Prince Ding and her. Whether it is difficult or not, it depends on Green Vine.
If Green Vine is responsible for her duties, just as the other people in the mansion meant, she would throw Ru Niang in the courtyard and ignore it, then let her take over the position of Xue Niang in the past and watch these beauties specifically.
But if Green Teng could come up with a solution to the perfect solution, she would consider it and ask the maid to come back to serve her again.
She had no confidants around her. Although the Green Vine had some self-decision last time, if she replaced one, there would be a second one. Instead of having another one who was ignorant of her nature, it would be better to keep the Green Vine.
...
Yancheng Government Office.
Zhu Ying has been worried about the secret letter for a while. It was really a mistake, every step of the way. Judging from all the signs, either Princess Ding did not get the secret letter at all, or she saw it, but chose to ignore it.
Why was he confused at that time? I didn't know that women had long hair and short knowledge, and women's thoughts were even more difficult to guess. He shouldn't have handed the letter to Princess Ding, but he should have thought of a way to hand it to Princess Ding directly. It was also at that time that King Ding would come back suddenly. If he had known that King Ding would return to Yancheng so soon, he would have handed it to Princess Ding directly.
Now, there is no need to go up or down, and I don’t know what chaos will happen. Captain Zhang’s wife can’t go to Ding’s Mansion to check the whereabouts of the secret letter. After his wife went to the Meng family several times, she still got nothing. Mrs. Meng was just perfunctory and had no intention of introducing Princess Ding for her wife.
Later, he was really anxious. Seeing that as King Ding returned, the Ding Mansion gradually became lively. Guests kept coming and going every day, he bit the bullet and asked his wife to come to visit Princess Ding directly. As a result, he couldn't even enter the gate of the Ding Mansion.
The prince's mansion was very polite. It was said that there were too many people visiting the princess during this period, and the princess could not meet one by one, especially some people who had never been to each other. If there was no special matter, it would be better to come back later. To put it in a tactful way, it means only one thing, and the princess has a noble status, not a messenger who can meet at any time.
Although Zhu Ying was just a prefect, his official position was very low in Yancheng, where the powerful people gathered. However, his position was special, and who had no matter what the prefect needs to help from each prefect? Therefore, everyone was polite wherever Mrs. Zhu went. She was not so flirtatious and insisted on coming forward to flatter her.
This time, the cold treatment was a great insult to Mrs. Zhu, and she felt very wronged. Especially her husband was hiding it, asking her to inquire, but not telling her the truth.
Zhu Ying was helpless about this. He also felt sorry for his wife, but he had no choice but to do so. Some things started, so he could not just forget it like this. He still had the integrity of a civil official in his bones. He had been the prefect of Yancheng for many years and was trained to smoothly by the situation.
He could see that the matter was of great importance. Dajing, a spy, might have some conspiracy in Yancheng. He also secretly sent people to check if there were any similar people. However, Yancheng is so big and there are so many merchants, it is not easy to find a few people who deliberately avoid them.
We cannot blatantly investigate from house to house to avoid alarming the enemy. If we find out, it is also a difficult problem to deal with. With a corpse and a secret letter, how can he do what he can do?
If others fail to take action, he will rashly arrest the person and they will deny all the crimes. He will not be able to torture the confession. He does not have this right.
Everything has to start with the Ding Palace. King Ding has now returned to Yancheng. Logically speaking, King Ding is more good at handling these matters. After all, he is a royal relative, and he, the prefect of Yancheng, has no right to deal with it.
Starting from a woman's side is a bit unworkable, so you have to find another way.
After careful consideration, Zhu Ying decided to start with the last assassin of the Dingwang Mansion's villa, use this matter as a stepping stone to test the Dingwang Mansion's attitude.
This matter is also difficult. The Ding Palace has not officially reported the case, so it means that it does not want to make the matter known to everyone. He just found a corpse, which was almost burned to black charcoal, and could not identify his appearance. The secret letter has been sent to the Ding Palace. Now there is no evidence, and the case cannot be solved. He pointed to the body and said that it was the assassin who broke into the royal palace's other courtyard to assassinate the princess. The people in the Ding Palace will definitely not be happy.
I can only test it first, and I have to find Captain Zhang.
Captain Zhang was familiar with the family and was familiar with the guards of the Ding Wang Mansion. He asked him to first find out whether the people in the Ding Wang Mansion were still pursuing the assassin. If they were still pursuing, it would be just right to use this as an introduction to seeking the Ding Wang. What happened next depends on the Ding Wang's attitude and adapted to the change. Now it is not sure whether the letter was delivered to the princess, or whether the princess had been handed over to the Ding Wang.
After a big circle, I had to come forward in person in the end. It was better to hand over the letter to the King of Destiny directly.
Zhu Ying regrets how he sometimes uses these tricks. These tricks can be fooled by the common people. In big things, it shouldn't be like this.
The vague secret letter last time made Captain Zhang a little confused. This time when Zhu Ying looked for him again, Captain Zhang was a little resistant.
This is not his own business. His wife was involved in the last incident. He was reluctant to do so out of trust in Zhu Ying. This time, Zhu Yingyou looked for him. Although compared with the last time he didn't know what letter, he finally knew a little reason for this incident.
But I still felt confused. I had never heard Zhu Ying say before that the burnt body was the assassin who broke into the Dingwang Mansion's villa. They were burned like that. How did Zhu Ying identify it? What are the credentials?
Zhu Ying didn't say anything, but said that the matter still needs further verification. Since the Ding Prince's Mansion did not report the case officially, he could not go to the Prince's Mansion to ask openly, but could only ask privately.
Although Captain Zhang was a little resistant, he had no reason to refuse, because he had proposed to investigate the matter earlier. At that time, Zhu Ying didn't want to care about this other people's business. Now that he had clues, he retreated, which was really unreasonable.
Well, I can only go there once.
Captain Zhang found Di Ying, the captain of the guard team. Di Ying had learned martial arts from him before and had a relationship with his master and disciple. Di Ying could be said to know everything about him. Di Ying secretly informed the assassin last time. Of course, their guard commander also acquiesced to this matter, and many people knew about it that night.
The guards in the central government chased after a few streets in the dark night, and the movement was not small. If they were too concealed, they would instead make people think about it.
Di Ying also wanted to use Captain Zhang as Captain Yancheng to be more familiar with some situations outside Yancheng and see if they could help. They found nothing that night and didn't even see the shadow of the assassin, so they had no idea how to start the hunt.
But as the guards of the royal palace, although there was no punishment from the superiors, they were really embarrassed to do nothing. When nothing happened, so many people made an assassin come and go so easily. They were too negligent. As the guards of the royal palace, so many people didn't even see the shadow of an assassin and were incompetent.
After that, the superiors only asked them to be more careful in the future. It was their duty to pursue them that night, but the manager of the mansion had other plans to investigate afterwards.
Di Ying was a little unwilling to accept it, and Captain Zhang was not an outsider, so he told him.
But more than a month has passed, and the prince has returned to his house. Since there is no trace of information, the guard commander asked them not to mention this matter again in the future, so as not to spread it out, and to avoid panic. Maybe that night he just planned a fool who was not very good at ignorant and accidentally broke in.
After all, the house is just a villa in the royal palace. Many people don’t know it. They think it’s an ordinary rich family, and it’s not impossible to come in and steal.
