Chapter 49 (1/2)
Bingwen sent a letter to the beginning of summer on February 2. When he received the reply, it was already the dawn of Mao on February 8.
During the days of waiting for the letter, he took some time to visit the four people at Shuangsheng Inn every day. In addition to Xie Jiming, the remaining three people hate to meet him late and make out with him.
He took the letter from Bian Hao's hand and read it in front of the house by the light of dawn.
After reading the letter, he looked frightened.
He went back to the house, drank a cup of herbal tea, calmed down, went to the window and read the letter again.
A moment later, his face was still covered with a surprised color, which was incredible.
He sat down again, drank two cups of herbal tea, burned the letter and called sang Yi in.
”After the time of the day and the time of the meal, go to King Hui's house to bring Gu Shizi a word and ask him to smell the Tiange.”
”Yes.” Sang Yi took orders and went down.
Bingwen took cold water in his hands, cleaned his face, and digested the shocking contents of the letter just now. He pressed his temples and tried to wake up a little more.
After a quarter of an hour, he called people to breakfast. After using it, he changed his clothes and went to Wentian Pavilion.
When he arrived at Wen Tiange, Su Qian'an took him and said, ”Gu Shizi and sang Yi have been waiting on the second floor.”
It turned out that after sang Yitong passed on, Gu Shizi took him directly to Wen Tiange and waited.
Bingwen nodded.
Su Qian'an looked at him and asked with concern, ”what's the matter with you? Is everything all right?”
”It's a big deal. I'll tell you later. I'll go up first.”
Bingwen pinched his eyebrows. He had to calm down for a while to make Gu Shizi less shocked
Bingwen went up to the second floor and asked sang Yi to step down.
Gu Xingyun stood up and said to Bingwen, ”master Bingwen should go?”
Bingwen nodded and sat down.
”This is a deposit of 2 million Liang silver notes exchanged for 200000 liang of gold and my Keepsake jade pendant.” Gu Xingyun looked happy and presented a silver note and a jade pendant with both hands. Then he said: ”I saw that the person who sent the message didn't say no and asked me to meet, so I guessed that childe Bingwen would answer. These things have been ready for a long time.”
Bingwen looked at the silver ticket and jade pendant and didn't answer.
”Let me remind you first that this matter is shocking. If you want to investigate, you must fully trust and cooperate with me.”
Gu Xingyun sent the silver ticket and jade pendant to Bingwen's face again.
”As long as master Bingwen can find out the truth, I will do whatever you ask me to do.”
”OK.” Bingwen took the silver note and keepsake, put them away, motioned him to sit down, and then said, ”after Wang Hong, did he Songfa, the housekeeper of your house, return home?”
”Yes, he served his father all his life. Now that his father has died, he has no intention to stay in the palace. The mother Princess sympathized with his hard work all his life and rewarded him with money to return home.”
”He is now in nanlizhuang village, Xiaxia, Sanqu Town, Jingyang County. Send someone to find him and take him safely to Beijing for protection.”
”I'll send someone to do it when I get back.”
