Chapter 863: Can't a man dress up as a woman?
"Because I have been attracted by Lord Jiang's hands before. Even if it is a scholar, it is impossible for them to be so delicate, white and slender, just like a woman's hands. Because they are beautiful, I looked at them a few more times." Ke Zhenqiu said very frankly.
"You are quite observant. But isn't it a bit arbitrary to conclude that it was me just based on a pair of hands?" Jiang Youzhen didn't believe that Ke Zhenqiu concluded that it was her based on this one reason.
“In fact, no matter how much you draw your eyebrows and eyes, you can’t become a different person if you still have your original foundation.
People who are not very familiar with you naturally cannot recognize you, but I have met you several times before, and I happen to have a talent, that is, I can remember the people I have noticed. "
Since he had already recognized it, Jiang Youzhen didn't pursue it any further.
"I just didn't expect that you have such a hobby, or are you actually a woman?" Ke Zhenqiu's tone rose, full of threats.
"Why? Can't I dress up as a woman to investigate the case? It's an emergency, this isn't a big deal.
But I am curious, why are you here? Is the Shujishi so idle? How can you leave the capital without permission? "
Jiang Youzhen leaned back in his chair, and then looked at Ke Zhenqiu with sharp eyes.
"Does your Excellency allow Lord Wen and Lord Tong to have backers and follow you to get promoted and gain benefits, but does not allow me to find a backer? I also want to be promoted, so I followed your footsteps and came to the border.
But you, my lord, have been traveling all the way, and you arrived later than me. It is fate that we meet at the residence of Prince Yuanming. But your attire, do you think Prince Yuanming is suspicious?"
Jiang Youzhen frowned immediately, "You knew I was at the border? And who sent you here?"
"Of course I was sent by the Emperor, otherwise why would I leave the capital without permission? Perhaps Lord Jiang doesn't know that my adoptive father once had a past with the Duke of Anguo, and it just so happened that the Emperor was going to send an imperial envoy to inspect the border, so the Duke of Anguo recommended me.
It just so happened that Duke Anguo knew about the disappearance of General Dingyuan and the tiger talisman. He had previously guessed that the emperor would definitely send someone to the border to investigate the case secretly. Look! Didn’t Duke Anguo guess it right? "
Jiang Youzhen was speechless. The emperor's mouth was as loose as his belt. What secret envoy? It turned out that even the Duke of Anguo knew about it.
Duke Anguo is the eldest princess's consort. Unexpectedly, Ke Zhenqiu actually hooked up with Duke Anguo.
"You mean the emperor sent you as an official envoy to investigate the case at the border?"
What does the emperor mean by this? Does he not trust her?
But that's right! The emperor was naturally worried about the tiger talisman, but it was still a bit surprising that he sent Ke Zhenqiu.
“Therefore, Lord Jiang and I should be on the same boat. I am in the open and you are in the dark. Let’s work together to solve this case.
I am not greedy. If you mention me once or twice in your memorials afterwards, I will be very satisfied if I can get a promotion."
There is no rank for Shujishi. After the academy is closed, it will be decided whether he will stay in the academy for promotion or be sent to other government offices. By then, he will only be a seventh rank or a junior rank, depending on his performance.
Seeing that Jiang Youzhen still had a look of suspicion, he took out a token from his arms and handed it to Jiang Youzhen.
Jiang Youzhen took it and looked at it, and found that it was indeed the token of the imperial envoy, but it was much lower in grade than her gold medal. But it was enough for going out. Who would dare not give face to the imperial envoy appointed by the emperor?
“Although it was Prince Yuanming who reported General Dingyuan’s disappearance to the capital, we cannot rule out Prince Yuanming’s suspicion. You have a history with Duke Anguo, and Prince Yuanming is his eldest son. Logically, you should avoid suspicion and should not be involved in this case.
Moreover, as soon as you arrived at the border, you entered the residence of Prince Yuan Ming. Who can guarantee that you did not tip him off? Who knows if you were in cahoots with him?"
Jiang Youzhen snorted coldly. She remembered that she had overheard the conversation between this person and other people before. This person must have another identity, and might even be one of the rebels. How could Jiang Youzhen collude with him?
"Don't worry, Lord Jiang. I have not informed Prince Yuanming about this matter. In fact, I just arrived last night, and it happened that Prince Yuanming was going to host a banquet for distinguished guests, so I attended."
"Oh? Who is the person called Young Master Kang at the banquet? Master Liu's son Liu Shen also attended the banquet. Does he know about the disappearance of General Dingyuan?"
After Jiang Youzhen asked the question, he stared at Ke Zhenqiu's expression closely, not missing a single detail.
Ke Zhenqiu shook his head, "Mr. Liu probably didn't know that General Dingyuan was missing, because just now at the banquet they were talking about their wedding in four days.
As for the young master Kang, I don't know his identity. On the surface, he is a businessman, but I suspect he may be from outside the Great Wall."
He actually took the initiative to say that he was from outside the Great Wall. Could it be that Ke Zhenqiu and Prince Yuan Ming were not in the same group?
Jiang Youzhen doesn't think that Prince Yuanming is unaware of Young Master Kang's identity, which means that he has colluded with people outside the Great Wall. As to whether it is for money or treason, we will have to investigate to find out.
"So where do you think that Young Master Kang is from outside the Great Wall?"
"People from Kang!" Ke Zhenqiu said directly.
Jiang Youzhen immediately looked at him inquiringly. This man actually revealed the identity of Young Master Kang. Could it be that he and Prince Yuan Ming were really not in the same group?
But she remembered that there was another person at the table when she eavesdropped. The man sounded older and his voice did not match that of Prince Yuanming.
"You mean that Prince Yuanming is colluding with foreign vassals? I was just listening to their conversation in the hall, why did you remind Prince Yuanming to let me leave first? From what you said just now, you should have recognized me."
Ke Zhenqiu smiled and said, "Because that Young Master Kang is not a good person. If you overhear his secrets, he will kill you to silence you.
It just so happens that my adoptive father is an old acquaintance of the Duke of Anguo, so I can pretend to surrender to Prince Yuanming, so I want to work with Lord Jiang to cooperate from inside and outside, what do you think? "
"We can discuss this later. Please help me leave now!"
Jiang Youzhen naturally couldn't believe Ke Zhenqiu, but they couldn't fall out right now because Ke Zhenqiu had the imperial envoy's token. They would have to ask him after returning to Beijing to find out what was going on.
"Your sudden disappearance must have caused martial law in Prince Yuanming's mansion. Now is not a good time to leave. You might as well stay here with me. It will be safer than outside." Ke Zhenqiu said it very sincerely.
"But after dawn, I won't be able to leave. It's not appropriate for me to stay with you. I won't be able to bear the consequences for you. Why don't you help me get a set of servant's clothes?" Jiang Youzhen said it in a nice way.
Ke Zhenqiu's eyes suddenly lit up, "You are really smart."
