Wild Consort Conquers the World - Chapter 88 cues

“On October 13th, due to the coming of the Chinese Festival, there were a lot of foreign merchants coming and going. I was on duty again at that time, so I woke up early and rushed over from home. I wanted to get ready in time and finish up as soon as possible so that I could have some lunch at noon. ”

“If not, when I get busy over here, I will usually have lunch in the afternoon. This official is old and no young man can be as hungry as me.”

Old Magistrate stammered.

Huai Jin frowned, she remembered Old Magistrate’s details clearly, but it was still too long-winded.

Seeing Huai Jin like that, the team leader coughed lightly and reminded the Old Magistrate: “Get to the point!”

“Yes, yes.”

Old Magistrate replied and then continued to speak. “That morning, when the fog started to rise, I could see from afar that there was a group of people gathered at the east gate of the city, covered by the fog. I was still wondering, now is the next day’s opening, those merchants all squeezed their heads and headed towards the capital, to catch up to the festival and sell some things.

“I was suspicious, so I walked towards that direction, and only after I entered did I see clearly, good fellow! There was a neat row of wagons filled with goods. As soon as I arrived, the men who had been guarding the cargo shouted at me to open the door. These goods have not been verified with the ultimatum, so naturally, I cannot let them go out. Therefore, we can have them wait a bit, after the inspection is over, we can let them out when the time comes. ”

Goods? Was it to help Bei Ling transport something? Huai Jin looked at Yuwen Fei with her eyebrows raised, asking him with his eyes.

Yuwen Fei gently shook his head, using his chin to point at the Old Magistrate, telling her to continue listening.

Old Magistrate tried his best to recall what happened that day and continued to speak. “It was just the beginning, but that group of people did not agree. They even started fighting with me.

Old Magistrate’s tone of voice sounded too much like a teahouse lecture, every word was captivating. After the captain heard this, he could not help but ask: “Is it Princess Ping Yang?”

“Exactly! I heard the sound and looked back. Ouch! I’ve never seen such a good-looking person in my life. The woman in the car was smiling at me when she saw me. They have too many carts, and it will take a long time to inspect them. The woman, hearing that it will take a long time, asked if I had any place to rest. The carriage is so stuffy that she wants to wait outside. ”

“How would I have known that she was Grand Princess Ping Yang? I said that I was, so I let her sit in the duty room. When the woman got out of the car, I saw that she still had a big belly. After someone helped her out of the car, there was another person who also had a big belly. I was wondering which family would let two women with big stomachs come out to do business. ”

“Who is that woman? “Why didn’t he record it down in the book?!”

Hearing that there was still another person, the leader looked at Yuwen Fei and Yuwen Fei and asked sternly.

Why did he say it out loud? His head was sweating profusely, and he explained with a trembling voice: “Initially, I wanted to ask that girl to write down an ultimatum, but later, Grand Princess Ping Yang revealed her identity, saying that she doesn’t need to remember. Anyway, I’m from my own residence, so it’s fine to remember her.”

Yuwen Fei and Huai Jin looked at each other, it seemed that the woman was Su Geying.

The captain was frightened. Looking at the two of them, his face turned serious as he hurriedly apologized, “This official has overseen my actions unfavorable, I hope…”

“Forget it.” Yuwen Fei interrupted him and waved: “I’m not interested in your matters. Continue.”

“Hai.” Old Magistrate replied again and again, wiping the sweat on his forehead, his voice was filled with obvious nervousness: “There was nothing much later on, it was just that after sitting for a while, Grand Princess Ping Yang already said that the chair was too hard, so she brought a cushion over, and this official brought a cushion over. After the other brothers on duty had arrived, they had checked the wagons one by one. They were all silk and silk, noble vessels and some fresh goods belonging to foreign merchants. The Princess had said that she would deliver them to her wet nurse outside the city. ”

After talking for a while, when the Old Magistrate saw that the two did not seem to really care about that woman’s matter, he finally calmed down, and his tone of voice slowly relaxed.

There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with those things. When it was time to open the door and the inspection was over, I checked everyone’s ultimatum, which is strange, those people who delivered the goods for the princess are all foreign merchants. I was still muttering about how they managed to invite so many foreign merchants to deliver them.

“I didn’t expect the princess to hear my mutterings. She explained that I just bought their things and they are about to leave the city after selling their goods. It just so happens that they are here to help.”

Old Magistrate stopped and raised his old eyes to look at the two people in the upper position.

Huai Jin heard the voice and stopped, raising her eyebrows and looking at him: “What happened next?”

“Then they left the city.”

Yuwen Fei frowned.

The only thing that was wrong was that, if it was really as Pu Xin had reminded, Grand Princess Ping Yang would not have needed to send out that booklet so openly, she even brought so many goods, and if she only had to send Bei Ling and the rest out, this battle would be too big.

Huai Jin looked up and asked: “How is it?”

Yuwen Fei shook his head, the fan in his hand tapped against his hand again and again. After tapping for a while, he suddenly paused, and said in a low voice: “Let’s go and take a look at Mother Ping Yang’s place.”

However, Huai Jin pulled him back, and swept her sharp eyes over the two people below.

The captain and Old Magistrate felt a chill run down their spines as they left the room and closed the door.

“Why don’t you tell me what exactly happened with Grand Princess Ping Yang first?”

After the two of them left, Huai Jin looked at Yuwen Fei coldly.

Yuwen Fei looked at her and frowned. After pondering for a moment, the paper fan in his hand slammed onto his palm heavily and he finally spoke: “On the day I went to Cloud Locking Pavilion, I saw someone.”

“Who?”

“Shentidol.”

Huai Jin was a little surprised, “Treason case’s conspiracy?”

“The mastermind?” He’s not. ” Yuwen Fei shook his head, his face had a profound smile, “He is just a pawn in a game, but I heard one thing from him.”

“What is it?”

Yuwen Fei looked at her with a smile, and his expression sank slightly, “He told me that he also had a list of officials in the capital who had helped or accepted bribes for Bei Ling when he was at work.”

Yuwen Fei nodded.

“Why are you so sure?” Huai Jin continued to ask with a cold face.

Yuwen Fei choked and touched his nose. His originally gloomy face slowly revealed a somewhat rogue smile.

He blinked his eyes at Huai Jin and smiled: “I guessed.”

Huai Jin rolled her eyes and did not pursue this matter anymore. She lowered her head and thought about what Old Magistrate had just said.

Right now, she already knew that Ping Yang had sent out a copy of the register, so she thought about it even more carefully than she did when she didn’t know anything.

Yuwen Fei tilted his head to look at her, and her brows furrowed slightly, his expression serious.

He had already changed out of the clothes he had worn yesterday. Now, he was only wearing an ordinary Lotus Root Starlight Dress.

Yuwen Fei chuckled, and asked: “What are you thinking about?”

Huai Jin shook her head and fell into the same dilemma as Yuwen Fei. If it was just a small booklet given by Grand Princess Ping Yang, there would be no need for such a big war.

After sitting for a while, with the hard chair making Huai Jin a little uncomfortable, she lightly raised her upper body and tried to move.

Just as his upper body was raised, Huai Jin’s hand hit the table beside him. “Dong”, the impact was painful.

Yuwen Fei heard the sound and looked over, “What’s wrong?”

“I’m fine.” Huai Jin shook his head, retracting his hand, and looked down at the place where he had crashed into himself.

The table at the side, was just an ordinary design for the Eight Immortals Table, with complicated relief sculptures carved on the four sides, and what struck Huai Jin was one of the protruding relief sculptures.

It was probably because of the restrictions imposed by the wood that the carpenters had kept the protrusion carved into the shape of a lion’s head.

However, because the lion head did not match the carvings at the side, there was a gap in the middle. He placed the lion head in the middle, with two carvings on top and bottom.

Huai Jin looked at the lion head, her mind suddenly flashed, and she remembered the words from Old Magistrate.

“Grand Princess Ping Yang said that the chair is too hard, bring a cushion over.”

Huai Jin sat down on the chair behind him again, but did not actually sit down, rather there was a gap for her to sit on, and when she sat at this height, she imagined herself sitting with a big stomach, with her hands in front of her stomach, stroking it.

Yuwen Fei glanced in her direction, and seeing her like this, he almost laughed out loud: “What are you doing?”

Huai Jin did not pay attention to him and tried her best to imitate the movements of the Grand Princess Ping Yang. When she placed her hand on her stomach that did not exist, her hand that was next to the table just happened to be parallel to the space carved on the table.

Her eyes flashed slightly as she looked at Yuwen Fei who was in front of her. She reached her hand into the gap between the sculptures and searched around.

Seeing her like that, Yuwen Fei’s brows twitched. He finally understood, but there was no gap at all in the carvings he was in. He could only bend down and look under the table.

Beneath the table, behind the protruding lion head, was a concave area with an envelope pasted on it!

“Behind the lion’s head!” Yuwen Fei reminded.

Huai Jin reached out his hand and touched it, and as expected, she found a letter!
