Jiang Chengzi stood in front of the window, looking at the lights in the courtyard, concentrating and calming, listening to the possible danger with extraordinary ears. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a while, Abi returned, but Zhang Ci did not come with him.

"What about the King of Shu and the eldest prince?" Jiang Chengzi saw Abi hurrying over alone.

Ah Bi gasped and said, "Back to the girl, the maid has already informed the king of Shu and the eldest prince that there are thieves in the inner courtyard, and Mother Zhang has led someone to capture the thief." ”

"Hmm. Jiang Chengzi nodded.

Ah Bi took another breath before continuing: "Originally, the eldest prince and the king of Shu were going to come to take a look, but someone came to call the door, saying that they heard a loud shout, and saw fireworks rising from the sixth room, I was afraid that it would not be peaceful, so I wanted to see what was going on." ”

"It's coming so fast!" Jiang Chengzi snorted coldly.

Abi didn't dare to ask more, but said: "The king of Shu and the eldest prince went to see the person who called the door, and asked the maid to come back to the girl quickly, talk about the situation outside, and let the girl deal with it." ”

Jiang Chengzi nodded and said, "You hold the lamp and fetch water for me." ”

Abi got the order and hurriedly prepared to go. At this moment, Bi Tao also trotted all the way back, panting and said, "Girl, I have seen the eldest girl in person, and whispered the girl's instructions to her. When the eldest girl heard this, she packed up and went to her wife's place. ”

"Can you deliver it yourself?" Jiang Chengzi was not very relieved of Bi Tao, after all, she was not a first-class girl, and she was really not smart enough.

"The maid did as the girl instructed, and naturally she hurried back by sending the eldest girl to the lady. Bi Tao said.

Jiang Chengzi's heart was put down, and then he said to Bi Tao: "You go to Aunt Xiu's residence again, let her let her sisters live with her for the past few days, and be more vigilant at night." ”

"Yes. Bi Tao strode out again.

Ah Bi boiled hot water, waited for Jiang Chengzi to freshen up, and changed into clean clothes. She just put on a big hat, Shi Shiran went to the courtyard, looked at the maid who was still kneeling on the ground, and looked at Zhang's mother.

Mother Zhang bowed her hand and said: "Nine girls, the thieves should cooperate with the outside and steal the antique vases in the mansion." We were already on patrol and we took it down on the spot. ”

"Should the inside be combined with the outside?" Jiang Chengzi asked rhetorically.

Zhang's mother calmly pointed to the Qian Pozi who was stuffed with cloth on the ground, and said: "The previous lady took pity on her for being lonely, and accepted her to work in the sixth room, but she was unexpectedly restless, and entered the Hongnong Yang family. Moreover, this fang was very rampant, and when it was discovered, it resisted arrest and injured the maid. ”

Zhang's mother said as she rolled up her sleeves, and there was a deep wound on her hand.

"Abi, quickly take the medicine box to stop the bleeding and bandage Zhang's mother, and after a while, go and disturb Mr. Wang. Jiang Chengzi instructed, and he was also looking forward to it in his heart: Which family is this mother from? In such a short period of time, she sang this play so well.

Abi ran to get the medicine box, but Zhang's mother shook her head and said that she had rough skin and thick flesh, and this injury was nothing.

"You are the old man I brought out of Shuzhong in the sixth room, not only a servant, but also a family member, this wound is not small, you have to take care of it. Jiang Chengzi and Zhang's mother acted together.

Zhang's mother thanked Dade for her words, all thanks to the girl's compassion and concern.

The two came and went to show a harmonious friendship between master and servant, and Abi came over with a medicine box to clean and bandage Zhang's mother.

Zhang's mother didn't forget to report to Jiang Chengzi: "Nine girls, this fang can't speak now. ”

"What?" Jiang Chengzi looked very surprised.

"Back to the ninth girl, this fang was caught, and the accomplices resisted stubbornly and were killed by our six-room nursing home. We got the stolen goods, and Mrs. Qian also wanted to die, biting her tongue and committing suicide, thanks to our quick eyes, she didn't succeed in committing suicide, but the tongue couldn't be saved. Zhang's mother replied.

Jiang Chengzi also had to admire this mother's ability to do things, except for the dead, the dumb person doesn't have to speak, even if there is someone with malicious intentions who breaks in for a while, the round and flat one has to have the final say. These people are of no use at all.

"It's true that birds die for food, and people die for money. It's so frenzied. Jiang Chengzi sighed, looked around again, looked at the mothers-in-law and maids who were still kneeling on the ground, and said sharply, "If you are loyal, and you have the six rooms, you will naturally have your benefits, that is, your children, the outstanding ones can also be enrolled, and the lord and the eldest Langjun can also recommend them." But if you are like Mrs. Qian, you don't know what to do, and you are crazy, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Although she is young, she has a kind of majesty, those mothers-in-law have seen the methods of the six rooms in the past few days, and even the eldest maid of the nine girls, Abi, was punished for kneeling this afternoon. At this time, listening to the admonition of the nine girls, everyone was even more in danger, and they replied one after another: "The little ones don't dare." ”

"To dare or not, I will decide. Now stand up and stand here for me. Jiang Chengzi waved his hand and let the maid who knelt on the ground stand up.

"Dongmei, you go and stand up for them as a team, looking crooked, there is no posture of six rooms at all. Jiang Chengzi looked at these mothers-in-law, she was born in the military camp and really couldn't see this kind of appearance without any temperament.

Dongmei is the second-class maid next to Jiang Chengzi, because she is quite capable, Jiang Chengzi will bring her soldiers to bring her, and Ping Suli will train the whole team, pace, explain the formation, etc.

Although Dongmei is only eleven years old, she has a high level of understanding and a majestic momentum.

"Yes. Dongmei agreed crisply, and led these mothers-in-law and maids to tidy up the formation.

Zhang's mother interjected and said: "This Qian Pozi's accomplice has already been punished, and the corpse is over there." ”

Zhang's mother pointed to the body of the thief covered with a white cloth next to her, and said, "Because it is an inner courtyard, I was afraid of scaring the girls, so I covered it with a white cloth." ”

Jiang Chengzi nodded, and then walked up to Mrs. Qian, who was tied up like a pig, and shouted: "What a grateful fool, how can you calculate the sixth room?"

Mrs. Qian was originally at the level of a little minion, and she couldn't get on the stage, so she was abolished by Jiang Chengzi herself, and when she saw her at this time, she couldn't help but tremble, and her eyes were full of fear.

Jiang Chengzi glanced at her and said to Zhang's mother: "If such a thing dares to steal the master's things, it must be sent to the official mansion." ”

"Yes. Zhang's mother gave up, and then said, "But after all, it brought a man to the inner courtyard, if this is put in the official mansion, it doesn't seem good?"

"If you don't put it in the official mansion, others will chase after the wind and shadows, and there will be rumors all over the world. Jiang Chengzi said.

"Or the girl understands, the little one is too confused. Zhang's mother immediately patted her ass.

Jiang Chengzi smiled lightly and said, "Mother Zhang, don't be modest, catching the thief tonight is a great achievement." However, this Qian woman is so cruel and ruthless to herself, she may have some accomplices. Therefore, I had to work hard for Zhang's mother to arrange to block this inner courtyard and search it inside and out. ”

"Yes, the little one also has this intention, I am afraid that there will be a fish that slips through the net, and I want to ask the girl what she means. Zhang's mother said.

"Then act quickly. Jiang Chengzi waved his hand.

Zhang's mother took a handful of maids and mothers-in-law to search everywhere, and the momentum was really a bit of a leader.

Jiang Chengzi looked at Zhang's mother's back, and was worried about what else was going to happen tonight.

"Girl, this spring is cold, very cold. Abi whispered, "Do you want the girl to go into the house?" ”

Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said, "No, I'm here, waiting for the water to come out." ”

"Well, let's move to the pavilion over there. Abbi suggested.

Jiang Chengzi looked at the pavilion a few steps away, nodded and said, "It's okay, you can bring those pastries and fruits." ”

Ah Bi immediately responded, and asked Bi Tao to prepare with her, bought pastries and fruits, lit candles, and put a small charcoal stove for Jiang Chengzi.

Jiang Chengzi sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, concentrating and listening to the sounds around him.

First of all, in the small inner courtyard, Zhang's mother was leading people to search. At this moment, Zhang's mother searched for a subordinate room behind the kitchen, and there was no one else in the room except for their group of maids, and there was nothing to gain here.

Jiang Chengzi is always guessing the intention of coming tonight, if it is to take her life, the kung fu of the person who comes is extremely high, how can she let Mrs. Qian and Mama Zhang find out?

His high level of kung fu must have been extremely conceited. If he had come to kill her, he would have done it a long time ago, and he didn't need to be lurking there all the time.

Then, either just to probe the truth of the six rooms, or just to ruin the reputation of the six rooms.

Well, that's more likely. For example, the group of people in the outer courtyard is not good. At that time, if you find out some strange men or something in this courtyard, and then insist on having an adulterous relationship with someone, your reputation will be ruined. Don't say that marrying into the royal family, even ordinary people don't want it very much.

If so–

Jiang Chengzi suddenly opened his eyes and said to Ah Bi, "Go and call Mother Zhang over." ”

Ah Bi didn't know why, so she trotted all the way to invite Zhang's mother.

Jiang Chengzi continued to listen intently, and on the other side of the outer courtyard, an old man with a voice was saying: "King Shu, it is reasonable, it is not appropriate for you to rest in the sixth room of the Yang family, my Hongnong Yang family has a courtyard dedicated to entertaining VIPs." ”

"Hmph, thousands of people have lived, and you let me live too? Li Ke sneered.

The man smiled awkwardly and said, "How can I be." The furniture in the house must have been specially set up for the King of Shu. ”

"Don't talk such nonsense, this king and Yang Qingrang, the eldest prince of the sixth room, even made friends, he is the chief of the Gewu Academy, this king is here because he is here, you don't want to put gold on your face, think that this king is looking down on you things that don't know what to do. Li Ke was merciless.

The men did not speak for a moment. Li Ke continued: "I don't know which one of the Yang family Your Excellency is?"

"The old man is the younger brother of the king of Guan. The man replied.

"Oh, Yang Shiguigong, but I recognize it. Rong Ma career, low-key temperament. But I've never heard of you as a person. Li Ke showed no mercy, and then asked, "Qingrang, have you heard of such a person?"

Yang Qingrang shook his head and said: "I grew up in Zhuangzi since I was a child, and the ancestral house has long faded here, and I don't know if what he said is true or false." ”

"A thing that can't be put on the table dares to bring someone to buckle the door of Yang's sixth room at night. The Yang clan is really in decline. Li Ke sarcastically.

"You—" The man was furious, and his breath was disheveled.

Li Ke's voice suddenly became cold, and he said, "Why don't you hurry up?"

"King Shu, Yang Bo, the younger brother of King Guan Naiguan, is a member of this generation of Elders, and he is responsible for the security deployment of the entire Hongnong Yang Clan. The man introduced himself.

"I haven't heard of it. Li Ke said directly, and asked, "Qingrang, have you heard of it?"

"I haven't heard of it. Yang Qingrang also said, and asked, "Mama Qing, have you heard of it?"

Mama Qing replied without humility or arrogance: "Back to the King of Shu and the eldest prince, King Guan does have a younger brother named Yang Bo, and I have heard that he is a member of the Council of Elders, and the security deployment of the entire Hongnong Yang clan in Pingsuri is indeed the deployment of the old lady Yang Bo. ”

"Oh, but this one?" asked Li Ke.

Mama Qing replied, "The slave doesn't know. ”

"Why don't you know? You're the old man in this mansion. Yang Qingrang asked excitedly.

Mama Qing still spoke in a quiet tone, and said, "No one from the Hongnong Yang family has ever seen this, so the slave doesn't know whether it's true or not. ”

"There's no evidence at all. Yang Chu, hit out. Li Ke commanded.

"Wait, this is my waist card, to prove my identity. The man said.

"I don't know, I'm not a child of the Yang family. "Li Ke is cheating.

"I don't recognize either. Yang Qingrang agreed.

"Let your father come to me. The man's tone was haughty.

"My father is what you want to see?" Yang Qingrang asked rhetorically.

"I'm his elder, and he knows it when he sees me. The man said.

"Elder, my father is the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, what rank do you have?" Yang Qingrang asked rhetorically.

The man didn't speak, Li Ke laughed, sarcastic: "It also said that Hongnong Yang, the family of etiquette, even forgot this most basic etiquette." ”

"The King of Shu doesn't need to be sarcastic, it's really that the Yang family has not been peaceful recently, and someone has to deal with the Yang family, and the demon moths are coming in waves. I also didn't worry about the young man's behavior, so I started to be on duty. I just saw the fireworks jumping up on the side of the sixth room, and heard a terrible scream, so I brought someone to hurry over, I was afraid that the sixth room would not be able to cope with it, especially the king of Shu was still staying here. The man continued.

"You can't even prove your identity, how can I know that you are not a bad person?" Li Ke asked rhetorically, and then without waiting for him to answer, he said directly, "Come on, tie up all these thieves who trespassed into the sixth room." ”

"Yes. Yang Chu received the order, followed by the voice of Bing Ge Bo.

The man shouted: "King Shu, don't force each other. ”

"You still dare to threaten this king?" Li Ke shouted, "Get out." ”

"Please calm the anger of the King of Shu. An old voice rang out.

Jiang Chengzi was stunned, she could hear that this voice was Yang Gongren.

I thought I would only see each other tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet tonight.

"It turned out to be the eldest uncle, you didn't go to Yangzhou to take office and go home privately, but it violated the rules of the imperial court. Li Ke said loudly.

Yang Gongren said respectfully: "Thank you King Shu for your concern, when I left Chang'an, I also asked Your Majesty for ten days off to go home to visit relatives." Your Majesty sympathizes with my advanced age, and I have been busy stockpiling food to deal with natural disasters all year round. ”

"That's congratulations. Li Ke spoke, never mentioning this Yang Bo.

"Dalang, you've come just in time. The king of Shu and the little cub of Liufang, don't believe that I am your father's brother-in-law, you can talk to them. The man hurriedly asked Yang Gongren to prove it. (To be continued.) )
