Chapter 568: How did she appear in the brothel?
When Xie Yingmian looked towards the bun shop, he saw a familiar figure near it.
"Aye, look ahead, next to the porridge shop in front of the bun shop, I think I see someone I know."
Yu Lingye was sitting in a wheelchair.
His line of sight was lower than Xie Yingmian's and was blocked by passers-by.
When he saw the figure in front of him through the gap, his face showed no extra expression: "I don't know him."
Xie Yingmian: "I lived in your house for so long before, and I've called you cousin for many years. You were even chosen as your wife by the Concubine Dowager herself. How can we not be familiar with each other?"
The familiar figure was Fang Yilin, whom I hadn't seen for many days.
Fang Yilin was wearing a veil and very simple clothes, and was buying porridge at the porridge shop.
After the truth about the concubine's life experience was revealed.
The Ling family stepped forward and demanded an explanation from the Dayu Dynasty.
Although the Ling family is a merchant family, they are the richest merchants in the world.
If the Ling family withdraws its assets from the Dayu Dynasty, the Dayu Dynasty will become an isolated island like a certain small country before.
That’s not all.
The Ling family's business is very large and involves all aspects. Once the Ling family's business withdraws, countless people will lose their jobs and the court will lose countless tax revenues.
The emperor was not afraid of the Ling family, but he was also unwilling to offend them.
Compared to the Ling family, the Fang family is really insignificant.
After weighing the pros and cons, the emperor issued an imperial decree.
Several culprits, led by Old Lady Fang, were beheaded.
Others were exiled three thousand miles away and were never allowed to return to Beijing.
Fang Yilin was not among those exiled.
Fang Yilin had already hooked up with the Third Prince and became his concubine, and thus escaped exile.
Yu Lingye: ...
"I'm really not familiar with her," he said. "It was just Mother's wishful thinking. I never agreed to it."
Xie Yingmian looked at Yu Lingye's serious rebuttal and chuckled, "I know, it was just a joke."
"I'm a little confused. Why is Fang Yilin coming to Baishi Street when he's not at the Third Prince's residence?"
Baishi Street is close to the city gate and close to the outskirts of the city.
The aristocratic families gathered near the imperial palace, including the Third Prince's Mansion, with Suzaku Street as the longitude and latitude.
What's more, Fang Yilin was a concubine of extremely low status, and concubines were not allowed to enter and leave the palace at will.
Yu Lingye: "Just follow them and you'll find out."
"Zang Yue, you go."
Zang Yue in the dark responded and followed Fang Yilin.
It was still early, but the streets were already bustling with people.
When the buns come out of the pot at the bun shop and the lid is opened, steam rushes up.
The vendor selling fried cakes sizzled by putting white cakes into the boiling hot oil. Soon, the cakes rolled and turned golden yellow, and the sweet aroma filled the air.
The shopkeeper selling Hu La Tang shouted: Delicious Hu La Tang is only 20 cents a bowl and comes with a braised egg. Don’t miss it if you pass by.
The shopkeeper selling fried dough sticks said: It’s a perfect match for you to drink delicious spicy soup and then have big fried dough sticks.
The shop owner who sells tofu pudding scoops tofu pudding for customers while shouting: Tofu pudding, the tender sauce is so hot that it bubbles, it is cooked over high heat, and it is crispy when you bite it, and the salty and fragrant aroma floats straight into your mouth. Customers passing by will take a look and then come back to taste it.
Xie Yingmian had seen the snack stalls on the Hedu District pier.
There is always a rush at the dock, and everyone is busy making a living.
The customers on Baishi Street are more relaxed, with a lazy and lively feeling.
I ate buns with thin skin and big fillings, crispy fried cakes, spicy soup, fried dough sticks, tofu pudding and steamed buns.
Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye ate their fill.
Because the taste was really good, Xie Yingmian packed a few portions and brought them to Wen Juexia and the others.
Noon.
Zang Yue, who tracked Fang Yilin, returns.
Zang Yue said, "Princess, Your Majesty, I have already found out everything."
"After leaving Baishi Street, Fang Yilin went to Lianxinwu and entered a courtyard in Huanhuaju."
"When I approached the courtyard, I sensed a strong murderous intent. This murderous intent came from more than one place. I speculate that countless experts are lying in ambush near Huanhua Residence."
"I didn't dare to alert the enemy, so I came back first."
Xie Yingmian felt that the names Lianxinwu and Huanhuaju were somewhat familiar.
After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered.
Previously, someone smuggled a blank letter into the palace through a vehicle buying groceries.
She realized that the writer wrote the letter with goat's milk. After it dried, the handwriting disappeared, but when it was put over the fire, the handwriting reappeared.
Fan Jingzhou happened to see the words on the letter and introduced her to Lianxinwu and Huanhuaju.
in short.
Huanhuaju is a brothel where people can play role-playing games and it is an upscale place of entertainment where people can spend a lot of money.
Xie Yingmian seemed to be lost in thought: "Isn't Fang Yilin the Third Prince's concubine? Why did she go to that place?"
"That letter last time, was it written by her?"
"By the way, Ah Ye, after that blank letter appeared, I remember you sent people to Huanhuaju to keep an eye on it. Did anything come of it?"
Yu Lingye paused as he looked at the memorial.
"Just like what Cang Yue said, there are masters stationed near Huanhuaju. Those masters are all top masters. Our people can only observe from afar and cannot get close."
Xie Yingmian: "So you already knew where Fang Yilin was?"
Yu Lingye shook his head.
He doesn't know.
He had forgotten about it completely.
