Chapter 365, Invitation

When Chu Yao returned to the study, he started to get sulky. He realized that he really couldn't reason with Shi Liu because he couldn't even reason with him!

Fight, can't beat.

Say, can't say it.

Chu Yao rubbed his forehead with a headache. At this time, he had some doubts about whether his decision to marry Shi Fuxin was right. Now he feels more and more like he is marrying an ancestor.

"Third Master!"

At this moment, a low voice sounded outside the window.

After hearing this, Chu Yao's face straightened up, he put back all his thoughts and gave a faint 'hmm'.

Then, a man in black appeared in the study.

"Third Master, all the Yuan family's goods in the South China Sea have been robbed."

Chu Yao narrowed his eyes. The Yuan family was one of the top ten imperial merchants, and their backer was the sixth prince.

"Can you find out who did it?"

Man in black: "It was the Turtle Gang, one of the most powerful pirate forces in the South China Sea."

Chu Yao: "Turtle Gang?"

The man in black added: "There should be a master behind the Turtle Gang, and it's very likely that it's from the capital. The Turtle Gang seldom harasses the people along the coast and behaves according to rules and regulations."

When Chu Yao heard this, his face became serious. A pirate gang burning, killing and looting is not scary. The imperial navy will clean it up. However, if it is disciplined and organized and does not confront the imperial court head-on, this is worth considering.

Turtle gang? Yuan family?

The master behind the Yuan family is the Sixth Prince. During this period, the only one who had a direct conflict with the Sixth Prince was the Dongfang family of the Duke of Ming Dynasty.

"Go and find out if the people from the Turtle Gang are related to the Duke of Ming Dynasty?"

After the man in black left, Chu Yao was still deep in thought. He was thinking about the sixth prince.

The sixth prince is actually not conspicuous among many princes, his abilities and talents are not very outstanding, and his mother's family has little power, but such a sixth prince with little help has managed to win over the Yuan family, one of the top ten imperial merchants.

You must know that the families that can be selected into the top ten imperial merchants are all merchant families that have been passed down for several generations.

Merchants are the most profit-oriented people. Why did the mediocre sixth prince fall into the eyes of the Yuan family?

What can the Sixth Prince bring to the Yuan family?

Ever since he knew that the master behind the Yuan family was the sixth prince, he had sent people to investigate the origins between them, but unfortunately nothing was found.

Chu Yao stopped worrying about the Sixth Prince and the Yuan family. He began to think about the Turtle Gang that suddenly appeared again.

Are the Turtle Gang members of the Duke of Ming Dynasty?

The Yuan family belongs to the sixth prince. Is the Ming government finally going to take action against the sixth prince?

With more and more forces emerging, the capital may become even more lively.

Just two days after Chu Yao met the man in black, Shi Fuxin received a letter from Shi Dingxuan home.

"Madam, there is a letter from the Fifth Master."

Upon hearing that it was Shi Dingxuan's letter, Shi Fuxin immediately smiled: "Fifth brother is lazy. It takes several months to send a letter home to the capital."

As he spoke, he quickly opened the letter. After reading the first page, he said happily, "My sister-in-law is pregnant!"

After hearing this, Nanny Leng and An Ran were both happy: "The fourth lady is coveting the young master Sun of the eldest lady's family. Now it's fine. The fifth master has a wife, and the fourth lady also has grandchildren."

Shi Fuxin smiled and nodded.

The fifth brother got married when his sister-in-law's father was critically ill. After getting married, the fifth brother and his sister-in-law had to observe mourning for three years, and they only paid tribute this year.

After reading Shi Dingxuan's good news, Shi Fuxin began to read another letter included in the letter.

The letter was written by Master Xiang.

"Sixth Miss, we found out that the people who took action against the Meng and Yang families were the Yuan family, one of the top ten imperial merchants, and the master behind the Yuan family was the Sixth Prince."

"At the beginning of this month, the Yuan family's goods, including people and boats, were robbed by the Turtle Gang. Now, the head of the Yuan family is on his way to the capital."

"The Turtle Gang seems to be connected with the capital. Although there has been no conflict with Baicao Hall in the past two years, they have been inquiring about Baicao Hall overtly and covertly."

"Miss Six, with the power of the Turtle Gang, they are likely to find out the relationship between Baicao Hall and Shennong Hall. Girl, you need to prepare early."

Shi Fuxin folded the letter from Master Xiang with an expressionless face, then took out the fire folding piece and lit it, burning the letter.

When Nanny Leng and An Ran saw that Shi Fuxin's expression changed, they both left the room with discernment.

Shi Fuxin walked behind the desk, sat down, and wrote five words.

The Sixth Prince, Yuan Family.

The Meng and Yang families used to be Chu Qinghuan's moneybags, but the Yuan family suddenly came to find them, and even killed them. This Yuan family was most likely to be Chu Qinghuan's.

If the Yuan family belongs to Chu Qinghuan, then the sixth prince

Also, if she were Chu Qinghuan, she would also support a prince to ascend to the throne. It just so happened that the sixth prince had little ability and did not have a strong mother clan behind him, so he was indeed the perfect candidate for the puppet.

Thinking of what Master Xiang said, the head of the Yuan family came to the capital, Shi Fuxin immediately called Xiaofang in: "Go tell Yanbang and ask him to watch the city gate. If he finds out that the Yuan family of the imperial merchant has entered the capital, notify me immediately. "

After Xiaofang left, Shi Fuxin wrote the words "Turtle Gang" on the white paper on the table.

Among the pirate forces in the South China Sea, there are two gangs that remain fresh in her memory, one is the Turtle Gang and the other is the Seahorse Gang.

The people from the Turtle Gang train on the island, while the people from the Seahorse Gang grow food on the island.

What these two forces do is nothing like pirates!

Now that the Turtle Gang has robbed the Yuan family's people and goods, it is obvious that the two families have a grudge.

Shi Fuxin, like Chu Yao, also thought of the commotion between the Sixth Prince and the Duke of Ming during this period.

"The Duke of Ming Dynasty?"

Mingguo Mansion is the natal family of Empress Wende, the first family of Dachu, and it is definitely capable of forming such a pirate team in the South China Sea.

Shi Fuxin looked a little solemn. If the master behind the Turtle Gang is really the Mingguo Mansion, and they have set their sights on Baicaotang, it will be a tricky matter. The Mingguo Mansion is not easy to deal with.

The Turtle Gang is far away in the South China Sea and is not easy to deal with. Now we can only keep an eye on the Mingguo Mansion.

In late August, Yandai sent a letter to Shi Fuxin, saying that the head of the Yuan family had entered Beijing.

After Shi Fuxin knew about it, she immediately decided to meet the head of the Yuan family in person. No matter what, she had to know what the Yuan family had found out through the Meng and Yang families.

But before Shi Fuxin could make a move, the Sixth Prince's people secretly sent a letter to Hongyan Xiao, and asked Hongyan Xiao's steward to deliver it to Shi Fuxin immediately.

When Shi Fuxin received the letter, she was obviously a little surprised that the Sixth Prince had come to her first!

There was nothing written on the letter, only one sentence: Please ask Madam Yao San to come to Qianxi Tower tomorrow to chat, an old friend is coming.

After reading it, Shi Fuxin's brows were a little knotted.

Old friend?

What old friend could there be between her and the Sixth Prince?

Shi Fuxin decided to ignore it. She didn't want to be involved with the Sixth Prince. Anyway, she would know everything she wanted to know after meeting the head of the Yuan family.

She would decide how to deal with the Sixth Prince at that time.

That night, Shi Fuxin quietly went to the Yuan family in a night walker.

The ten major imperial merchants all have houses in the capital, and the Yuan family's house is in the quietest area of ​​the outer city.

As soon as she approached the Yuan family, Shi Fuxin noticed something was wrong. There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Shi Fuxin jumped onto the beam and quickly ran towards the place where the smell of blood was the strongest. Along the way, she saw many people lying on the ground.

Soon, more than a dozen people in black were seen in the main courtyard, and people fell to the ground in the yard.

"It's you!"

There was only one person left alive in the yard, and that was the head of the Yuan family.

The head of the Yuan family lay on the ground with a sad look on his face, blood flowing from his mouth. When he saw the black-clothed leader pulling off his scarf, his eyes widened: "You are from the Turtle Gang!"

The black-clothed leader sneered: "The head of the Yuan family has a good memory."

The head of the Yuan family looked at the black-clothed leader: "Why? You have already robbed my goods, why do you want to kill them all?"

The black-clothed leader ignored the questioning of the head of the Yuan family and asked: "Why did you attack the Yang family in Liaodong and the Meng family in Beihai before?"

The head of the Yuan family flashed his eyes and snorted and laughed: "You chased from the South China Sea to the capital, just to ask me this?"

The black-clothed leader looked at him: "Your Yuan family was originally the granddaughter of the regent, Qinghuan Your Highness's people later joined the Sixth Prince. Why did you attack the Yang and Meng families, which have no conflict of interest with the Yuan family? "

The head of the Yuan family saw that the black-clothed men knew the background of the Yuan family, and his face changed drastically: "How do you know this? Who are you?"

The black-clothed leader was obviously a little impatient, and stepped on the head of the Yuan family: "Answer my questions honestly."

The head of the Yuan family suddenly laughed out loud: "You are so powerful, go and check it yourself." Knowing that he was dead this time, he simply said, "It was the Sixth Prince's order. If you have the ability, go and ask the Sixth Prince."

After that, no matter what the black-clothed man said, the head of the Yuan family did not speak.

The black-clothed leader's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and with a wave of the sword in his hand, he cut the neck of the head of the Yuan family.

"Second in command, we haven't asked the reason why the Yuan family attacked the Yang and Meng families." A black-clothed man wanted to stop it, but unfortunately, it was too late.

The leader in black snorted, "Do you think he will talk when he looks dead?"

The man in black: "Then how do we explain to the big boss?"

The leader in black: "Go to the Mingguo Mansion and ask them to find a way to ask the Sixth Prince."

The man in black was anxious: "Second boss, the big boss has told us to try not to contact the people in the Mingguo Mansion."

The leader in black was angry: "Are you the second boss or am I the second boss? Just do whatever I tell you to do. Why waste so much time talking?"

Snorted.

"We are all from the Dongfang family. Why do they have to eat and drink in the capital, while we have to be exposed to the wind and sun on the pirates? It's time for them to do something."

The other men in black couldn't persuade the leader in black, so they could only follow him and quickly leave the Yuan family.

Shi Fuxin followed them quietly and saw the group of men in black enter the Mingguo Mansion with her own eyes.

"The Turtle Gang was indeed formed by the people in the Mingguo Mansion!"

Shi Fuxin looked at the gate of the Mingguo Mansion with a gloomy look in her eyes.

Being targeted by the Mingguo Mansion, it is estimated that the investigation will soon lead to Shennong Hall. By then, she will probably be exposed.

Shi Fuxin stared at the Mingguo Mansion, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

In the next few days, Shi Fuxin has been investigating the affairs of the Mingguo Mansion, and has long forgotten the invitation of the Sixth Prince. Unexpectedly, when she took a carriage to Hongyanxiaojianyandai, she was blocked by the Sixth Prince halfway.

"Madam Yao San is so arrogant, she doesn't give me face at all."

The two carriages stopped at an angle, and the Sixth Prince sat through the window and looked at Shi Fuxin in the carriage opposite: "That's right, Madam Yao San's arrogant reputation is probably known to everyone in the capital. After all, you are a person who doesn't even take the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince seriously, let alone this prince."

Shi Fuxin looked over and said lightly: "I don't think there is anything to say between me and your highness."

The Sixth Prince snorted and laughed: "Really, but your highness thinks we can talk all night long."

Listening to the ambiguous tone of the Sixth Prince, Shi Fuxin felt disgusted and said bluntly: "Sixth Prince, compared to my husband, you are not even as good as a finger of him, so don't spread your tail like a peacock in front of me."

The Sixth Prince's face suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly: "Shi, don't be shameless, I know everything about you and Meng Yang's family."

Shi Fuxin looked over: "I don't understand what the Sixth Prince means?"

The Sixth Prince smiled and said silently: "You are Chu Qinghuan's man."

Shi Fuxin understood what he meant and was a little speechless. This prince was really not very smart!

The Sixth Prince saw that Shi Fuxin was silent, thinking that she was afraid, and smiled: "This prince has booked a private room in the Millennium Building, you can go with me, let's talk in detail."

After that, he asked the coachman to go to the Millennium Building, as if he was sure that Shi Fuxin would follow.

Shi Fuxin watched the Sixth Prince's carriage go away, frowning and thinking.

Although the Sixth Prince was wrong, if he spread rumors everywhere, it would cause her a lot of trouble. After hesitating for a while, she decided to follow him to see what he wanted to do.

Shi Fuxin frowned as soon as the carriage caught up with the Sixth Prince.

Someone was following her, and someone else left quickly, apparently to report the news.

Is it Chu Yao's people?

Shi Fuxin shook her head. With Chu Yao's temperament, he would only let people follow him silently without any action. Moreover, she remembered the people Chu Yao sent to watch her, and the people behind were all unfamiliar faces.

If it wasn't Chu Yao, who could it be?

Shi Fuxin asked Xiaofang to inform Shi Yi and Shi Er to be careful, and then squinted at the Sixth Prince's carriage in front.

As for the Sixth Prince, when he knew that Shi Fuxin had caught up, a sinister sneer suddenly appeared on his face.

Chu Yao, this prince will also let you taste the taste of wearing a green hat.

"Have the prince's men caught up?"

"Yes."

The Sixth Prince snorted coldly. The prince thought he was a fool. He didn't know that he and the Third and Fifth Princes had provoked him. The reason why he did what they did was just to make Chu Yao uncomfortable.

Soon, the Sixth Prince's carriage stopped at the door of the Millennium Building.

The Sixth Prince got off the carriage and saw that Shi Fuxin's carriage was about to arrive. He laughed and walked into the restaurant quickly.

"Stop."

When it was still ten meters away from the Millennium Building, Shi Fuxin asked Shi Yi and Shi Er to stop the carriage.

With Xiaofang's help, Shi Fuxin got off the carriage weakly, and her whole body pressed on Xiaofang. Under the gaze of the people around, she slowly walked into the embroidery building next to her.

"Butler, I am a maid in the Rong Prince's Mansion. This is my third wife. The wife is here for her wedding day. I want to borrow your dressing room."

Hearing that they were people from the Prince's Mansion, the butler dared not refuse and hurriedly led the two to the dressing room.

After entering the dressing room, Xiaofang quickly closed the door and looked at Shi Fuxin: "Madam, what happened?"

Shi Fuxin walked to the window and looked at the Millennium Building opposite: "Something is wrong with the Millennium Building. If I go directly into the Millennium Building, I will probably fall into a trap."

Xiaofang was anxious: "Then let's leave quickly."

Shi Fuxin: "No hurry, let's take a look first."

Shi Fuxin released her mental power and directly monitored the box where the Sixth Prince was.

"Have you ordered the Banbuhuan?"

"It's ordered, but Your Highness, Madam Yao San is the disciple of Elder Tianchi, and she might notice something is wrong."

The Sixth Prince snorted and laughed, "Banbuhuan was brought from the Western Regions by the Regent King. If someone takes even half a puff, they will be infected. As long as Shi enters this private room, she can't escape."

"I heard that she is still in mourning for Elder Tianchi, and has not had a wedding night with Chu Yao. Humph, I will let this prince exercise the husband's power on behalf of Chu Yao later."

'Listening' to the conversation between the Sixth Prince and his confidant, Shi Fuxin's face was extremely gloomy. What surprised her even more was that she saw the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince also enter the restaurant.

"The idiot Lao Liu probably can't take down Shi's family. When the time comes, we have to help Lao Liu and prove that he and Shi's family are having an affair."

"With us as witnesses, we are not afraid that Shi will not admit it."

"What does it matter if Shi doesn't admit it? Anyway, her reputation is not good. With our testimony, outsiders will only believe us."

Hearing this, Shi Fuxin understood that the people who followed her before should be the prince's people.

These princes are really powerful. Why did they cast such a big net to deal with her!

Just when Shi Fuxin was thinking about how to solve the matter in front of her, she saw that the second in command of the Turtle Gang who destroyed the Yuan family actually appeared in the building openly, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
