In the town government, Xu Mingyi, dressed in a sandalwood robe, is sitting at the table and looking at the contents of the note over and over at the lamp.
Just looking at the content, it is only a simple letter from home, which is given to the steward of the Hunan Prince's residence in Dianzhou - to the effect that there are some changes in Beijing and the time to return to Dianzhou will be delayed, so he temporarily explained some affairs in the government and military.
If that's all, this letter obviously has nothing to write about.
But if it is so simple, why did the king of Hunan choose to send a letter late at night?
And choose to use carrier pigeons, rather than directly make people send letters, obviously do not want to be known by others.
So, what is the mystery of this letter?
In the end, Xu Mingyi simply lay back in bed and looked at it again and again, but he still got nothing.
She didn't put down the letter until it was bright outside the window.
But directly called the servant girl to come in and wait for washing and dressing.
After cleaning up, Xu Mingyi took his things to Xu Yun.
There may be something strange between the lines. She can't see it. Maybe the second uncle can see it.
At this time, the sky was just beginning to dawn. The servant was sweeping in the yard, while Xu Yun was still in a dream and fell asleep.
The boy came to the bed and woke the man up: "second master, the girl is coming..."
If he were someone else, he could block him back by saying "the second master is not awake yet", but this is a girl. Who does the girl want to see in this family and when is restricted by time and place?
Xu Yun was very sleepy, but when he heard that it was his niece, he forced himself to sit up and complained: "what's important this morning..."
"Second uncle, may I come in?" the girl's voice came into her ears.
Xu Yun sighed.
I don't know what's going on with young people now. I don't know how to sleep well at a good age. Is it decent to have such a good spirit early in the morning?
"Come in, come in, if you don't come in, you still want me to go out..." Xu Yun said helplessly as he took the coat handed by the boy and put it on.
Xu Mingyi came in with a smile: "I waited for dawn to come here. Isn't it too noisy for you to sleep?"
Xu Yun's eyebrows jumped.
Is this still the time when my niece took care of him?
"Come on, what's the matter with finding second uncle in such a hurry?"
"I want you to read this letter for me." Xu Mingyi sat down on the drum stool brought by the boy to the bed, handed the note in his hand, and didn't forget to explain: "be careful, don't break and wrinkle it, just take both ends."
Xu Yun started according to his words and asked, "what can I help you see?"
Niece is not an illiterate grandmother on the street. She needs to find him to read the letter.
"Look carefully. Is there anything special between the lines in this letter? For example, if you change the reading order, will there be other meanings or codes?"
Xu Yun nodded knowingly. When his eyes swept over the signature mark, he couldn't help but be stunned. He immediately turned to his niece and asked confirmatively: "... This is the letter from the king of Hunan?"
Xu Mingyi nodded.
Xu Yun's eyebrows shook: "how can the letter from the king of Hunan be in your hand?"
"Of course it was cut."
Xu Yun's eyes were even more surprised: "... Why did you cut the letter from the king of Hunan?!"
The girl's expression was still calm: "cut and see what's wrong."
Xu Yun's cheek shook:... Is there something wrong with the letter? He didn't see it for the time being, but his niece is really wrong!
"Please help me have a look." Xu Mingyi urged, "if you can't see anything, I'll ask others."
And ask someone else?
Does niece know that she can't see the light of what she did?
Xu Yun didn't know where to start, but he chose silence for the girl's sober and bright eyes.
Anyway, I can't control it. It's better to say less. After all, I'm still the one who caused my niece to suffer.
Thinking like this, when Xu Yun looked at the letter paper in his hand again, he inexplicably felt that there was an invisible knife on his neck, forcing him to help tyranny.
But he looked at it seriously several times.
Finally, he just shook his head: "there's nothing wrong..."
Then he took the letter paper away, looked at it again, and said thoughtfully, "but it's a little strange..."
"What's strange?" Xu Mingyi asked hurriedly.
"Look here." Xu Yun pointed to the letter and said, "is there too much space on the letter?"
Leave it blank?
Xu Mingyi nodded slightly. She also found that less than half of the letter paper was left blank, but she didn't pay too much attention.
Xu Yun asked, "you letter paper, I think it should be taken out of the bamboo tube?"
In addition to the creases, there are also rolled up marks.
Xu Mingyi's eyes moved slightly, nodded and said, "that's right..."
The point is on this bamboo tube——
It doesn't matter if the stationery is folded up and put in the envelope. But if you want to roll it up and put it in the bamboo tube, most of the large white space should be cut off
"But it's just a little strange." Xu Yun said: "maybe the writer is too lazy to cut. After all, it seems useless to really talk about this blank space..."
After asking for a moment, Xu Ming got up and said, "thank you, second uncle. I'll go back first."
She can't find any clues here in a short time. It's better to give it to Wu Tsui and the Lord first, and let the tall people around them have a look.
After returning to Xi garden, Xu Mingyi asked ah Zhu to send things out.
As soon as ah Zhu left her front foot, Zhu Xiu found her back foot.
"Girl -"
Zhu Xiu, dressed in black, saluted in the hall.
"How? Can you find a chance to do it?" Xu Mingyi asked.
"Miss Hui, not yet." Zhu Xiu replied: "now the case of Ji Shangshu has not been solved. Zhan Yunzhu is now under strict supervision because he is suspected of conspiracy. He has to be summoned by Dali temple from time to time. Moreover, this person is very vigilant, and his subordinates haven't found a convenient opportunity to start at the moment."
Of course, if he wants to do it directly, the other party is naturally not his opponent, but the matter must be quiet and clean, and don't disturb the officials of Dali temple - now that the general is not in Beijing, the situation in the government is tense, and the girl acts cautiously. She can't give people a chance to make use of the topic in order to occupy Yunzhu.
Xu Mingyi nodded knowingly: "then let people keep an eye on it first. Don't relax for a moment. Never let this person have any possibility of escape."
What she wants has always been to occupy Yunzhu's life.
This time, he entrusted the national teacher to do this, not to let the other party fall into the quagmire and let him taste the so-called Disgrace - these nothingness are meaningless to her. On the contrary, he thinks that if he delays one more day, innocent people will be more likely to suffer.
She wanted to kill people. She never had so much cumbersome attention. The reason for doing so was to let the other party roll out of the turtle shell in the palace so that she could do it.
Zhu Xiuding replied: "don't worry, girl. If my subordinates dare to guarantee with their heads this time, there will be no more mistakes -"
