Chapter 1495 800 Fraud
"Zhenyuan Street is flooded!"
"Quickly put out the fire!"
People shouted in panic, the screams one after another from far to near, getting louder and louder.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the chaos spread from the other end of the street to this end, and the whole street almost boiled, and there was chaos everywhere.
Through the window of Zhu Lun Cha, Nangong Yue could see the red light in the direction of Zhenyuan Street, a few dozen meters away. It was dyed a thick black-gray, and just by looking at it from such a distance, one knew that the fire was probably not small.
Around Zhu Lun Cha, people can see people everywhere, coming and going, most of them are rushing towards the direction of the fire, running to put out the fire, excited shouts, noisy footsteps, and rushing The sound of gongs mingled together.
Xiao Xiao Yu, who was sleeping, seemed to hear the noise outside, pursed his little mouth, and made two uneasily "hey huh".
Nangong Yue helped Xiao Xiao Yu adjust his sleeping position a little, and lightly patted him on the back a few times, the little guy's expression became calm again.
"Baihui," Nangong Yue told Baihui in a low voice, "Go and ask the guards to help put out the fire. Also, find out how the water got out!"
Soon, the five or six guards outside led the way, leaving only the maids, the driver and the two guards.
The streets where they were located became more and more chaotic and there were more and more people, making Zhu Lunche almost unable to move.
To go back to Bixiaotang, you have to go through Zhenyuan Street in front. If you want to take another road, you have to turn around. But at this moment, the Zhulunche is bustling around, and even if they reluctantly put their heads up, it is difficult for them to go against the crowd.
What's even worse is that the weather has been dry recently, and the fire ahead is getting more and more vigorous with the help of the cold wind.
"Cough cough..."
Xiao Xiaoyu coughed twice and woke up, wrinkled his face, his mouth crooked, and instinctively wanted to cry, but when his mother's gentle soothing sound drifted into his ears, he still didn't cry. His face was buried in his mother's soft chest.
At this moment, Haitang's voice sounded from outside the Zhulun car, and she said, "Prince Prince, Mr. Guan is here."
Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, and slightly opened the corner of the curtain with her right hand, and saw Guan Jinyun wearing a cyan cloak standing outside the red car, meeting Nangong Yue's eyes, and looked at each other for a moment.
"Mr. Guan." Nangong Yue nodded slightly at her.
Guan Jinyun immediately took two steps forward, respectfully blessed him, and then pointed to a shop in front of him and explained: "Prince Prince, I happened to be looking at the piano at the piano shop in front of me. I saw the imperial concubine's car driving..."
While speaking, another gust of cold wind blew, and the pungent smoke smell became stronger.
Guan Jinyun frowned and said worriedly: "Prince Shi, the fire in front of you is big, I'm afraid it won't be extinguished for a while. The smoke here is big, it's not good for children, and the grandchildren are still young..." As she spoke, she pointed Pointing to an alley in front of the right, "It happens that I have a small house in Shangyang Alley in front of me. I usually stay there when I take a break. Why don't the princess and the grandson go to my place to sit for a while and wait for the fire to be put out. After leaving, what do you think of the princess?"
"Cough cough..." The little guy coughed again, making Nangong Yue feel distressed.
She looked down at the little meat ball with a bitter face, and nodded in response: "Mr. Guan, then I will be disrespectful."
Afterwards, Guan Jinyun sat next to the driver and helped guide the way. After Zhu Lunche walked slowly forward, it turned right into a small alley. Although the alley was narrow, there was no one. .
Zhu Lunche turned left again at the end of the alley, and after advancing another fifty feet, it stopped in front of a small house.
From this position, you can still see the fire on Zhenyuan Street, and the rising smoke looks even darker at the moment, but the choking smoke can no longer be smelled, and the air around is slightly cold.
Guan Jinyun got off the carriage first, stepped forward and opened the copper lock on the door in person, and then invited Nangong Yue and the others to enter the house.
This is a small house as soon as you enter. The courtyard is not big, and there is not enough space to park a carriage. Nangong Yue told the driver to wait outside and got off the carriage. Haitang and Baihui, who was holding Xiao Xiaoyu, followed closely. thereafter.
"Prince Prince, please!"
Guan Jinyun respectfully invited Nangong Yue and his party into the house. The house was empty, but it was clean and elegant.
They went straight into the main room, Guan Jinyun respectfully invited Nangong Yue to sit down on a rose chair, and went to make tea. Xiao Xiaoyu looked around in Baihui's arms with some curiosity, and yawned sleepily.
After a while, Guan Jinyun personally served hot tea.
Nangong Yue picked up the tea cup and used the tea lid to flick the tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea soup. The green tea leaves were slowly sinking in the bright tea soup, and the fragrance of the tea was overflowing.
Nangong Yue took a sip of the tea aroma and praised with a smile: "Good tea, this excellent Mingqian Longjing is hard to find." Then she put down the tea cup, "Mr. Guan, please take a seat."
The corners of Guan Jinyun's mouth were slightly raised, and she responded calmly: "The prince concubine praised me. I also entrusted the blessing of a friend." As she spoke, she sat down on another rose chair beside her, and also held up a tea cup.
At this moment, there was a mess of footsteps outside the house, and a mustache guard came panting, entered the house and said: "Concubine Yi Shi, the one who just walked out of the water is Feihong Residence on Zhenyuan Street, because it burned. The wine cellar, so the fire was especially fierce for a while, but fortunately there were no casualties, the fire is almost extinguished, and it should not affect the neighbors..."
The guard's dull voice sounded like a lullaby to the sleepy little Xiao Yu, the little guy's head tilted and he fell into a deep sleep in Baihui's arms.
Nangong Yue nodded slightly, then waved away the mustache guard.
"Mr. Guan," Nangong Yue looked at Guan Jinyun and said happily, "Fortunately, Feihongju is located in a busy city, and the neighbors and passersby worked together to put out the fire quickly, and it didn't cause a big disaster..."
As she said that, she seemed to think of something, and said sternly: "Speaking of which, the last time Geely Square went into the water, it was thanks to the gentleman that the fifth sister escaped the danger. I have never personally thanked the gentleman. If there is any negligence, please sir I'm sorry."
Guan Jinyun put down the tea cup and bowed: "Prince Shizi is polite, but it's just a little effort. In winter, it's dry and dry, and people should be reminded to be careful with candles."
"Sir is right." The corner of Nangong Yue's mouth curved into a shallow arc, and the conversation suddenly changed, "In winter, the weather is dry, and there were five large and small walks in Luoyue City last year, and four or five times the year before, most of them were When the weather at the beginning of the year and the end of the year are freezing cold, do you know why?"
Guan Jinyun seemed to be stunned, and then said respectfully: "I also ask the imperial concubine for advice."
"There are often three reasons for running water. One is the copper stove used for heating in winter, which contains the ashes left from the fire. Once the copper stove is turned over while sleeping, it is easy to catch fire; I accidentally knocked over the oil lamp while making needles and needles for the Chinese New Year at home. The three are caused by the fireworks and firecrackers being set off during the New Year and sparks splashing around. Therefore, running water often happens on winter nights. When dealing with oil, there are few accidents of water leakage." Nangong Yue explained in an orderly manner.
Guan Jinyun thoughtfully, patted his palm and said: "So there is such a doorway in it, the princess is really attentive."
Nangong Yue pursed her lips, and continued: "Mr. Guan, in less than a month, the city has walked twice in the city, and it was both sunny and bright. Do you think it's too coincidental, sir?" Nangong Yue asked. His tone gradually became sharper, "If you think about it carefully, Mr. Guan and Zuoshui really have a bit of an indissoluble bond!"
After the words were finished, the main room was silent, and Nangong Yue only had to directly say that someone deliberately set fire to the water twice, and the person who set the fire was Guan Jinyun.
In the face of Nangong Yue's doubts, Guan Jinyun remained calm, his eyes were gentle, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not change at all.
It turned out to be "she"! Nangong Yue looked at Guan Jinyun deeply, many pictures flashed in her mind, from the appearance of this Mr. Guan... until the fire in Zhenyuan Street just now.
Nangong Yue had long speculated that the Baiyue man behind the scenes should be watching secretly near him, intending to wait for an opportunity to act.
However, since the robbery of the clothes, Zhu Xing has strengthened the guards of Bixiao Hall several times, so the person behind the scene has never attacked him again after the first assassination attempt failed. This person must be waiting for the right moment, waiting for his own vulnerability to be exposed.
Nangong Yue thought about it, and felt that it was unlikely that this person would attack him again in the palace or Bixiaotang. For this person, the best "opportunity" is probably to wait for him to leave the mansion, then find ways to lead him to a certain place, and transfer the guards of the mansion, so as to facilitate his attack.
So, when Nangongyue saw Zhenyuan Street "walking again", she guessed that the person behind the scenes was finally unable to hold back, but she didn't expect—
The person who came was actually this Mr. Guan!
Nangong Yue's eyes flashed, and she looked at Guan Jinyun with a smile, not in a hurry.
Guan Jinyun picked up the white porcelain tea cup, took another sip of tea gracefully, and praised: "Good tea!" She put down the tea cup, looked at the tea cup beside Nangong Yue, and said regretfully, "It's a pity Good tea... Concubine Shi thinks that I have poisoned the tea, so I feel timid in my heart?"
Guan Jinyun is still gentle, as if he is a kind elder, neither frightened nor impatient.
Nangong Yue didn't care about the provocation in the other party's words, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "There is a truth, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, sir, don't have to bother!" She is not a ranger in the book of words, why should she use her temporary ability. !
"It seems that Concubine Shizi misunderstood me quite deeply." Guan Jinyun sighed faintly.
"How could it be? The concubine of this generation has always admired the demeanor of the gentleman. The gentleman is really a hero among women." Nangong Yue stroked her sleeves and smiled, and looked directly at Guan Jinyun, her seemingly warm eyes revealing a hint of alienation from above. , and said, "This world concubine recently heard a story, and this is a rare opportunity, so let's talk to Mr.
Regardless of whether Guan Jinyun answered or not, Nangong Yue said casually, "Decades ago, a gifted saint appeared in Baiyue's Holy Heaven Sect. This saint was young. , she read a lot of books, and her strategy was far superior to that of the saints of all generations. She was favored by the then Prince of Baiyue as a concubine. After the prince ascended the throne, she naturally became the Queen of Baiyue."
Guan Jinyun was still drinking tea slowly, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
Nangong Yue continued: "As the most honorable woman in Baiyue, she should be pampered, but this queen not only wants to be a woman behind the king, she also has stronger ambitions, and hopes that her son can replace her in the future. To achieve, for this, she tried her best to cultivate various forces for her son in Baiyue, and laid a dark line for her son in the southern border... It's a pity, her two sons are ineffective, wasting their mother ten years of hard work."
Nangong Yue looked at Guan Jinyun with a smile, and asked deliberately, "Mr. Guan, don't you think so?"
Guan Jinyun raised his eyes and stared at Nangong Yue without speaking. The curvature of the corners of her mouth seemed to remain the same, but at this moment there was a hint of stiffness, and her eyes were as deep as the sea.
Nangong Yue didn't care about Guan Jinyun's silence, sighed with a half-smile, and continued: "Mr. Guan, His Royal Highness Carrero has lived in my Zhennan palace for so long, but the gentleman felt that the palace was not well-received, so he insisted on accepting people. Take it away? I don’t know if His Royal Highness Carrero has been doing well these days? My concubine is also very concerned about…”
After a pause, she raised her eyebrows, as if thinking of something, and added: "I heard that a pharmacy in the city recently treated a bruised and bruised patient who looked like someone from a foreign land, hey, His Royal Highness Carrero. It's too careless. I haven't worked for a few days, how can I be injured like this! Mr. Guan, this world concubine thinks that I can't feel wronged by Her Royal Highness Carrero, so I should take him back to the palace to heal his injuries and recuperate his body. Yes! It also prevents the husband from being alone in the palace, and the separation of mother and child, which will make people sad!"
Saying that, Nangong Yue looked at Haitang who was a few steps away, and said lightly, "Haitang, do you still remember where that pharmacy is?"
Haitang hooked her lips into a smile, and blessed her body and replied, "Concubine Hui Shizi, this servant still remembers that it was in the Yaoxing Street near this house..."
This time, Guan Jinyun's face finally changed.
Before Haitang could finish speaking, Guan Jinyun had already stood up abruptly, a silver light flashed from his sleeve, his right arm wielding a dagger was approaching Nangongyue, and the gentleness in his eyes that stared at Nangongyue was no longer as ruthless as if he was staring at Nangongyue. Like a wolf of prey.
"Zheng!"
In a flash of lightning, a cyan figure flashed like lightning, Haitang quickly blocked in front of Nangong Yue, the short blade in her hand collided with Guan Jinyun's dagger in mid-air, sparks shot everywhere.
At this time, Guan Jinyun seemed to have changed abruptly, with a sharp temperament like a knife. She and Haitang looked at each other for a moment, and a sharp light flashed in their eyes.
Haitang smiled slightly and slammed into the short blade... However, Guan Jinyun stepped back without warning.
Once the attack failed, Guan Jinyun chose to retreat immediately and quickly ran out of the main room.
"Someone! There are assassins!"
In the woman's shouting, Guan Jinyun didn't stop, and ran to the back of the house with familiarity...
The movement in the house suddenly alarmed the two guards who were guarding outside the house, and while calling for the imperial concubine, they rushed into the courtyard quickly.
Seeing that Nangong Yue was safe and sound, the two guards breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately chased after Guan Jinyun's back, but when they chased out the back door, they found that the alley behind the house was empty for a long time...
The two guards immediately split up and chased the two ends of the alley.
When the figures of the two disappeared, Guan Jinyun jumped down from a big tree lightly, then nimbly turned into an empty alley, and then ran out two streets in one go, even if she was sure she got rid of it. The people who came to Zhennan Wangfu couldn't stop.
Guan Jinyun's eyes were cold.
She couldn't stop, she finally rescued Carrero, but she couldn't let him fall into the hands of Zhennan Palace!
At this moment, Guan Jinyun almost regretted it in his heart.
At the beginning, she deliberately chose to exchange hostages outside the city. The main reason was to mislead the people in Zhennan Palace, so that they thought she would take Carrero away.
The most dangerous place is the safest place, and the people of the palace would never have thought that Carrero would be recuperating under their noses.
Unexpectedly, her identity would be seen through by that Nangong Yue, which suddenly turned the originally wonderful plan into a foolish move.
She has to find Carrero in Medicine Street as soon as possible...wait!
Guan Jinyun thought of something, his pupils shrank sharply.
Oops, she's been tricked!
Guan Jinyun's lips pursed into a straight line. After looking around for half a circle, he suddenly turned around and strode into a bustling restaurant...
Almost in the next instant, a ghostly black figure came out of the alley behind her, touched her nose in distress, and muttered, "It's not good." After speaking, he also walked into the place. home restaurant.
After a stick of incense, the dejected young man in black returned to the small house on Shangyang Lane in despair, and went to Nangong Yue to return his life: "Prince Concubine, I'm lost."
Following that, Xiao Ying briefly explained how she lost Guan Jinyun in a restaurant, and finally said with certainty: "However, Concubine Shi, my subordinates can be sure that the direction she planned to go in the first place must be a medicine store. Street area." In other words, Carrero was hiding in that area!
Nangong Yue is not surprised by this result. It can be seen from what Guan Jinyun has done that she is an extremely smart person. If something unexpected happened today, it would be about Carrero's safety, so Guan Jinyun's concern would be chaotic and chaotic, otherwise, She might have found out that she and Haitang were cheating on her.
They didn't know where Carrero was at all, but they thought that since Guan Jinyun was in Luoyue City, Carrero was probably in the city too, and in order to take care of him, his location would not be too far away. .
It happened that Yaoxing Street was not far from Zhennan Wangfu and this small house, so Nangongyue and Haitang tried to defraud Guan Jinyun.
The result was unexpectedly good!
"Zhu Xing," Nangong Yue looked at Zhu Xing, who had heard the news, and instructed, "Bring guards and city guards to block off the entire Yaoxing Street area and search for Carrero's whereabouts!"
"Yes, Concubine Prince!" Zhu Xing clasped his fists and gave orders, his eyebrows furrowed.
From the time he learned that Guan Jinyun was the mysterious Baiyue man, his face was no better. As long as he thought of letting such a dangerous person linger beside his concubine and his grandson for so long under his own eyes, Zhu Xing couldn't wait to slap himself.
Up to now, he can only atone for his sins and take Carrero first!
Zhu Xing hurried away with a group of people.
Next, after Feihongju walked into the water, the city rioted again.
Nearly 100 palace guards and city patrolling guards traveled in a mighty manner, blocking the area around Yaoxing Street with lightning speed. Heart up and down.
In the past two years, every time the palace guards and the patrolling guards were dispatched together, it was basically to catch the damned Nanban spies. Many people cursed those Nanban people with wolfish ambitions in indignation, and the whole street was boiling. .
Under the command of the patrol city guard, those passersby quickly lined up in several long winding dragons. After being searched and examined by the patrol city guard, they left one by one.
But after half an hour, the Yaoxing Street, where people were evacuated, became quite empty. At first glance, the empty street seemed a little desolate.
At the same time, the guards of the palace were divided into several teams, and they were searching all the pharmacies and medical clinics one by one along the street, one, two, three...
I don't know how long it took, when a tall guard suddenly rushed out of a pharmacy and hurried to Zhu Xing at the intersection, shouting, "Butler Zhu, we've caught someone!"
