As time went by, the atmosphere in the palace became more and more depressing, and the female relatives did not dare to say anything more.
Today, Concubine Tong actually attacked her close concubine Yi, and there will definitely be additional problems later.
Liang Fei sat in her seat, feeling anxious.
Before the New Year, Si Yin and Concubine Liang mentioned that they wanted to marry Concubine Liang's grandniece to the second son of Yangzhou Prefecture Yin.
This marriage was considered a deal.
The second son of Yangzhou Fuyin was born prematurely.
The child reacted slower than ordinary people from birth.
Although Yangzhou Fuyin held real power, no prestigious family in the south wanted to marry the Fuyin family. of.
Qing Yan had heard about this legitimate second son, and even the concubines in the salt merchant's family were unwilling to marry into his family.
Concubine Tong glanced at Concubine Liang.
Concubine Liang was actually sitting here calmly, not taking it seriously at all.
After listening to Concubine Tong's words, the female relatives felt that Concubine Tong was taking too much care.
"Okay, let's all go down first."
Concubine Tong sent everyone away, leaving Qing Yan alone to accompany her.
Qing Yan obediently supported Concubine Tong towards the inner hall, thinking in her mind that there must be some reason why Concubine Tong did not say anything to punish Liang Concubine today.
"Eniang, why didn't you punish the good concubine?"
Qing Yan looked at Concubine Tong and asked.
"It's just a private conversation between Si Yin and Concubine Liang.
If it is used as evidence, it is obvious that there is an informant in the palace.
This would be unsightly."
Concubine Tong is in charge of palace affairs, so of course she will coordinate again and again.
Qing Yan was a little angry when she saw Concubine Tong, and she didn't say anything more and just fell silent.
"My dear, tell me about the shops in the south and try to get as much news as possible from the capital," Concubine Tong lowered her voice and warned, "There may be traitors among the people sent by Lord Long Live himself."
Yinsi was able to discuss with Liangfei in a covert manner, and since he was involved in the officialdom of Jiangnan, Kangxi was even more concerned about it.
The two shops in Qingyan are different.
Officials and their families often go there.
Occasionally, there will be some chats, which already involve some things, so that they can get more information.
"Yes, E Niang."
Qing Yan nodded, "Recently, there has indeed been a lot of news from the south, and the wife of Yangzhou Fuyin has indeed ordered a lot of valuable appointments, and all of them were sent to the store.
It is said that these The precious head and face appeared on the streets of the capital."
What Concubine Tong was stunned, her head and face had already appeared on the market "It means that someone went to the pawn shop to pawn."
Concubine Tong remembered that there was a boss in Linglong Pavilion who specialized in purchasing Linglong Pavilion.
"No, I took it to Linglong Pavilion to sell it.
I heard it was a Mongolian female family member."
Qing Yan said, "Moreover, the female family member should have married Fujin, an old clan member in the capital for decades."
After hearing this, Concubine Tong showed a sneer on her face.
If these people were the ones, they probably really needed to think about it carefully.
"Xiao Guai, what you said is true, you have already taken action."
Concubine Tong felt that they must have agreed, otherwise, no one would do this.
Qing Yan nodded.
Recently, Linglong Pavilion has been nervous.
If they receive similar jewelry, they will definitely report it directly.
"Did the manager of Linglong Pavilion say which clan came here?"
Concubine Tong asked.
Qing Yan frowned slightly and shook his head.

Who would record such details.
"The shopkeeper will never ask these questions.
These jewelry are originally recorded in the account book.
At the end of each year, I will ask the people below to compare them, so I know whose jewelry is sent to Linglong Pavilion.
Over there."
Qing Yan said directly, "So, this was done carefully and is not a real record at all."
Concubine Tong was very surprised when she heard this.
Some people always said that Linglong Pavilion recycles old jewelry.
"My dear, what are those old jewelry used for?"
Concubine Tong became curious.
"There will be some valuable raw materials on it.
For those who are going to pawn the jewelry, the raw gems will be picked out and then made into new noodles."
Qing Yan said directly.
Concubine Tong knows that many aristocratic families are running out of money, so many people hope to keep these gems, which can reduce some expenses.
"Well, you can take a look at those account books."
Concubine Tong asked for the account books directly.
Qing Yan was slightly startled, he actually wanted this.
"Su Lan, go to the Old Summer Palace and bring over all the account books in the third compartment of the study."
Qing Yan had been preparing these things.
He had prepared them in advance and stopped caring about them.
Concubine Tong had a faint smile on her face, hoping to find some clues from these account books.
A moment later, Su Lan walked in holding six account books.
Qing Yan watched the account books being brought in and took them from Su Lan's hands.
The house was in Concubine Tong's hands.
"My dear, are these the six books?"
Concubine Tong asked, looking at Qing Yan.
"Yes, these are the six books."
Qing Yan nodded, "I have already summarized them all.
However, there are several clans' direct descendants, Fujin, who were born in Horqin.
In recent years, they have really pawned a lot of things.
Those heads and faces have All the original gems have been picked out.”
Concubine Tong began to open the account book, and every transaction was recorded in great detail.
"Shu, you recorded all these families."
Concubine Tong said with half-squinted eyes.
Shu walked aside and looked at the name on it, looking a little bad.
"Master, these people are protected by the Empress Dowager.
Can we really investigate?"
Shu asked directly.
"Shu, it's best to investigate and see if these female relatives who married from Horqin have encountered any difficulties."
Concubine Tong said directly.
Qing Yan heard this and thought that Concubine Tong was right.
It seemed that this problem was a bit serious.
When it comes to Mongolian noble girls, the Queen Mother cannot be justified.
"Do you want to talk to Madam Huang?"
Qing Yan asked.

"Don't talk about it for now.
We must investigate the real reason before talking to the Queen."
Concubine Tong said directly.
Qing Yan didn't say anything.
He listened to Concubine Tong's instructions and became very nervous.
He was worried that the Queen Mother would feel a little uncomfortable.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law hopes to tell the Queen Mother as much as possible.
Those Fujins are all old men in Mongolia, and they feel very low in front of the Queen Mother."
Qing Yan said directly.
Concubine Tong looked down at Qing Yan.
In fact, her suggestion was very good.
The Queen Mother's side was the most difficult to do.
"That's all, let's talk about it later."
Concubine Tong said directly.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reached an agreement, got up and walked to the Queen Mother's residence.
"My dear, I'll go to the Queen's house later.
Don't say anything.
I'll tell you personally.
If I ask you something, you can just be there to testify."
Concubine Tong doesn't want Qing Yan to be involved in this.
Go.
"Okay."
Qing Yan nodded, "Mother, please be more careful."
