The Legitimate Younger Sister Insists on Marriage Exchange, Sending Me to Become a Marquis Wife – Chapter 445

第445章 投名状

此时,顾六爷显然已把秦鸢当成了主心骨。

秦鸢笑道:“你难道忘了?金参将能带着人来得那么快,是得了说书人报信。听闻现今说书先生有个活计,叫做说新闻。说的都是京城内发生的新鲜事儿,越新奇越有趣越快捷就越容易得到客人的打赏。”

松山先生笑道:“瓦子里有这些,而且还有些人专门走街串巷地去说,收益也不少,还省了瓦子的抽头。许多在后宅不怎么出头露面的女子也很想知道外面的新鲜事。”

顾六爷问:“那么他们消息从哪里来呢?”

秦鸢道:“那就神仙过海各显神通了,能做这些的都有自个消息的来源,有的是从乞儿那里买,只要有消息,是真的,都可以去他那里领钱。”

顾靖晖插话:“徐珍赵氏不见之后,十八等人也曾在周遭寻访过乞儿和摊贩,皆是一无所获。宝珠还曾提及,徐珍出府之前经常在侧门处寻货郎买些小饰物,但那个货郎也再寻不着了。”

秦鸢道:“我亦寻思过此事。乞儿挑夫不起眼,偏又能知晓不少事,若是能将他们串起来,当能得到不少消息。府门处没有瞧见的,难说在别处会不会露出马脚来。”

松山先生看了眼顾侯爷。

顾侯爷慨叹:“回京城大半年,十八等人查消息远不如在塞北那般方便,徐珍这事,调出府里大半侍卫依旧什么都没查到。归根究底还是侯府在京城经营的少了,若是能从乞儿、挑夫、说书人那里得到消息也好。”

松山先生慢悠悠地道:“侯爷以前在塞北,自然如鱼得水。京城和塞北的风土人情各不相同,且此处皇亲贵戚甚多,权贵云集,鱼龙混杂,不起眼的人物背后可能有着盘根错节的背景。侯爷才一回来,困入其中,再没有自个的消息渠道,便如同失去了双目的猛虎,自然是施展不开。”

顾六爷道:“三哥,我觉得三……便依南塘公子所说,让十八等人底下再发展些人,帮着搜索些消息。乞儿、挑夫、清道夫这些人地位不高,也不引人注意,多些耳目也是好的。”

秦鸢意味深长地道:“若是侯爷刚回来就这么做,难免被人诟病,但如今却是最好的时候,便是做了也是事出有因。”

“对啊,京兆尹府什么都查不出,顾六爷为了这个和徐家打官司,侯府自行想法子搜索,这就是说到天边也有理。”

松山先生抚掌赞同。

顾侯爷点头,愉悦地道:“行,就这么定了,我明日便让工部沟渠司的人……”

话未说完,秦鸢就道:“不如让成大哥帮我们。”

顾侯爷想了想,道:“好,待我明日寻他商议。”

秦鸢又忙道:“还有件事,和徐家、六爷都有些干系。”

顾六爷蹙眉:“请讲。”

顾侯爷也看了过来。

秦鸢道:“六弟要告徐家,推官想必已去寻了徐家,徐家人依旧带着孩子前来吊唁,似有和好之意,只不知六弟后面如何打算?”

顾侯爷蹙眉。

顾六爷道:“我自然如之前所说的,一告到底了。徐家人行事与破落户相似,今日我不告了,明日他又来了。”

听他这么说,秦鸢点头道:“六弟心中有谱最好,我私心里想着,徐大人似有意与侯府交好,听闻原本他们打算前些日子来闹的,但最终又没来。”

“这消息从何而来?”顾靖晖问。

秦鸢便将沈长乐所言复述了一遍,顾靖晖点头道:“没想到沈长乐打听消息也是一把好手。”

秦鸢笑道:“他所知的和顾十六之前说的大差不差,着实出乎我的意料,此人的确得用。”

顾六爷问:“徐堂所说被徐大人闪了是何意?”

顾侯爷道:“自然是想和徐家一起投靠到晋王那边去,晋王和耶律骨扎来往甚密,他在齐王府做帮闲,暗地里打什么主意就不好说了。”

回味了半晌,顾六爷惊道:“我知道了,我们定北侯府是他们的投名状。”

秦鸢有些讶然。

顾六爷竟然也知投名状。

顾靖晖已哼笑一声,道:“没想到你还知道这个。的确如此,有件事你也知道的,刘太医本是被耶律骨扎收买前来害我阖府性命,其与晋王、太子均有瓜葛。”

顾六爷颤声道:“那……那……”

松山先生摇头:“我就说不要让他在场,瞧瞧,他一点事都经不起,好好作诗作画就行了。”

原本有些紧张的气氛,被这么一搅合,陡然变得有些好笑起来。

顾六爷也稳住了心绪,恼道:“我只是未曾经过罢了。经过一次,下次就不会这样。”

“要我说你什么好?胆识乃是天生。难道侯爷上阵杀敌,头一回还能吓得站在那里,说第二回就知道了么,只怕头一回就没命了。”

松山先生直白道:“在下游历多年,识人无数,人人都有自个的天资禀赋,天生胆小不经事的,怎么也没用。若是胆气深藏心中,倒可以试着激发出来。”

顾六爷不服:“我也是顾家儿郎,祖宗的血脉胆气我也有的。”

秦鸢道:“可见徐家内里已然有了很大分歧。晋王知道刘太医之事败露,心中忌惮侯府,恰逢圣上任命侯爷京察之事,又将上奏的折子留中不发,人人猜疑圣上的用心,晋王便从侯府的姻亲徐家入手,拉拢徐家。徐堂的妹妹应是此时送入晋王府的。”

见说到了正事,松山先生和顾六爷都不说话了,静静地听着。

顾侯爷接过话来道:“如今外面传我有疾,徐大人只怕又动了别样心思,想要拉拢六弟。徐堂自幼便在叔叔家过日子,饱受人情冷暖,如今因着徐家将妹子送入晋王府,身家性命都与晋王绑在了一处,自然不乐意见徐大人脚踩两只船。徐家没有按原计划来闹已让徐堂很是不满。”

“对,”顾六爷想了起来,叫道:“那日大舅哥拉着我说,外面都传三哥日后无子呢,被我训斥了一顿,要不是打不过,我就揍他了。”
