Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Qinghe and Baili Ye looked at each other, then quietly followed Lord Cai, the housekeeper, and the attendant to the study.

Mr. Cai sat down in the study and said seriously:

“We must make this wedding at Prince Jing’s Mansion a success.

Butler, you should go to the Madam's parents' home in person and inform Minister Zheng that everything has been arranged and we can achieve our goal by just taking action on the wedding day.

Cai Min, on the wedding day, you will follow the young lady and assist Master Zheng to ensure that you can cooperate with their actions at the critical moment. "

The butler and the attendant replied respectfully, "Yes, sir."

The two men left immediately.

Lord Cai walked to the antique display cabinet and gently turned the porcelain vase on it, and then he saw a door slowly opening.

Lord Cai looked around vigilantly and then entered.

Qinghe and Baili Ye also slipped in.

"Aye, Lord Zheng is only a minister, and Lord Cai is a minister. Why does he need someone to inform the minister?"

"Yes, logically speaking, Lord Cai has a higher official rank among the two, so there is no need for such action. I'm afraid the Zheng family is also involved in this matter."

Baili Ye analyzed.

After hearing this, Qinghe also felt that something was fishy.

"Let's first see if the Cai family has any secrets?" Qinghe suggested.

The two of them carefully checked the secret room.

There were piles of boxes in the secret room. Qinghe and Baili Ye gently opened one of the boxes and saw that it was full of gold, silver and jewelry.

Then they checked the other boxes, all of which were shining with gold.

"It seems that the Cai family has amassed a lot of wealth, at least several million taels." Qinghe said in a low voice.

The two then searched the secret room again but still couldn't find it. Finally, Qinghe knocked on the wall left and right and discovered that there was a secret compartment in the secret room.

She tried to open the secret compartment and found a box inside.

Qinghe opened the box and saw a stack of account books and a pile of letters inside.

Baili Ye picked up a letter and looked at it, his expression changed slightly.

“Xiao He, these are the account books of a gold mine, and they actually contain records of transactions with the Zheng family.

And these letters may be evidence of the Cai family's collusion with some officials." Baili Ye said.

Qinghe was delighted. With these evidences, she might be able to use them against the Cai family at a critical moment.

"It seems that the Zheng family also has big problems. Let's replace the account books and letters and put them in the space, and then go to the Zheng family to find out the truth."

"it is good."

The two men took the things away and put in some account books and letters. The box containing gold and silver was left there untouched as evidence.

"Let's go to Zheng's house!" Qinghe suggested.

"it is good."

Qinghe activated the space teleportation function and arrived at the Zheng family in a few flashes. Just then, the housekeeper from the Cai Mansion also arrived at the door of the Zheng Mansion.

Qinghe and Baili Ye followed the Cai family's housekeeper into the Zheng Mansion.

The butler was brought into the main hall by the servants of the Zheng Mansion, where Lord Zheng was already waiting.

The butler bowed respectfully and said:

"Master Zheng, Master Cai asked me to tell you that the wedding at Prince Jing's Mansion has been arranged and will only take place on the wedding day."

Mr. Zheng nodded slightly, with a hint of pride on his face:

"Very good. Lord Cai is indeed reliable. As long as this is successful, both our families will benefit."

Qinghe and Baili Ye looked at each other, and became more certain that there was an hidden collusion between the Cai family and the Zheng family.

They continued to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, trying to get more information.

Lord Zheng asked again, "Does Lord Cai have any special instructions?"

The butler replied, "Lord Cai has ordered that on the wedding day, Master Zheng and Miss Zheng must cooperate well to ensure that the operation goes smoothly."

Mr. Zheng nodded and said:

"Don't worry, go back and tell Lord Cai that I will let Zheng Yu be prepared. This time we must force the Jing Palace to submit.

Also, tell your lord that after three days, let him deliver this batch of goods to where it should go."

The butler bowed and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will go back and inform the minister immediately."

"Well, let's go."

The butler responded and left.

Then, a man who looked like a guard came in and said to Mr. Zheng:

"Sir, there was a loud noise in the suburbs today. Our people went to the scene to check and found a large pit more than ten feet wide and seven feet deep.

According to the information reported by our spies, I suspect it was the gunpowder explosion invented by Princess An Ning that was responsible."

After hearing this, Lord Zheng was shocked, "Is gunpowder really that powerful?"

The guard replied:

“My lord, the power of gunpowder is indeed astonishing.

If we can use it, we will be able to accomplish great things.

This gunpowder was invented by Princess An Ning, and now she is probably going to present it to the royal family. We must get the production method as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a huge obstacle to our plan."

Lord Zheng frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he said:

“We must find a way to get the method of making gunpowder and capture Princess An Ning on the wedding day. Her husband is the war god of Dasheng and has extraordinary martial arts skills. We must send more people.

If Princess An Ning cannot be used by me, then I will just kill her.

You take care of this matter and send more people to keep an eye on what's going on in Prince Jing's mansion.

Has the message been delivered by carrier pigeon today?"

The guard replied, "It has already been spread, but there is one thing I don't understand."

Lord Zheng looked at him and asked:

"explain."

"Sir, if you can't find out how to make gunpowder, you plan to kill Princess An Ning. Why do you want Miss Cai from the Shangshu Mansion to marry Prince Jing?"

Lord Zheng snorted coldly and said:

“Humph, Miss Cai marrying King Jing is just part of our plan.

If we succeed, we will be able to control Prince Jing's Palace. Even if we don't have the method to make gunpowder, we can still achieve many goals through the power of Prince Jing's Palace.

Furthermore, Princess An Ning caused a great defeat for my barbarians, and this feud is irreconcilable.

After obtaining the method of making gunpowder, killing Princess An Ning will relieve the hatred of the barbarians. "

The guard suddenly realized and said, "Your Excellency, this is a good idea. I will arrange for the personnel to ensure that everything goes well on the wedding day."

Mr. Zheng nodded slightly and said:

“Send more people and make sure to capture Princess An Ning on the wedding day.

Oh, and send a message to Phoenix Mountain, telling them that the goods will arrive in three days, and asking them to be ready to receive them."

At this moment, Qinghe and Baili Ye, who were hiding in the dark, felt a tightness in their hearts.

Qing He whispered, "Aye, they are so vicious, we must not let them succeed."

Baili Ye held Qinghe's hand and said with a firm look in his eyes:

"Don't worry, I'm here. We must hurry back to discuss countermeasures with the Emperor and my father-in-law and strengthen precautions. We must not only protect you, but also ensure that Fourth Uncle's wedding goes smoothly."

After the two left, Qinghe and Baili Ye searched the study for evidence of Lord Zheng's collusion with the barbarians. After putting the things away, the two quietly left Zheng's Mansion and hurried back to Prince Jing's Mansion.

As soon as they returned to the mansion, they told Shangguan Jing and others the conspiracy they had heard at Zheng's mansion.

After hearing this, Shangguan Jing was furious and said:

"The Cai family and the Zheng family are so bold that they dare to plot like this. We will go to the palace immediately to inform the emperor. We must make all preparations to make their plot fail completely."
