403. in the first place

The next day, the news of An Beihou's death reached Chu Shaoyuan's ears, and he clenched his fists tightly, trying his best to restrain the churning emotions in his heart.

After Wei Qing finished speaking, seeing that Chu Shaoyuan's expression was not very good, he said in a low voice: "Master, do you want to go down and check." ”

"Not necessarily. Chu Shaoyuan shook his hand, although his face was not good, he was sure that this matter must have been ordered by his father, otherwise his father would not have pulled him out of this matter.

He stabilized his feelings and looked at Wei Qing: "Did my father say anything to you yesterday?"

Wei Qing is not an ordinary Yan Yunwei, but a secret guard secretly cultivated by the emperor, the emperor sent him to Chu Shaoyuan's side just to protect his safety, and now that he has returned to Yunfu, as a secret guard by the emperor's side, he naturally wants to return to the emperor.

Wei Qing shook his head, "The emperor didn't say anything, he just asked his subordinates to follow you." ”

In other words, the emperor gave Wei Qing to Chu Shaoyuan.

Chu Shaoyuan didn't think it was strange about this, after all, the two of them had gone through hardships together, and Wei Qing, as a secret guard, could not appear in front of everyone, since Wei Qing had been exposed, it was obviously not suitable to be a secret guard, so his father simply left it for him to use.

"I asked you to check Mingyan Tower, what did you find?" Chu Shaoyuan was worried about the fact that Shen Shuofeng had found himself in advance, and knew that Mingyan Tower was by no means simple, so he ordered Wei Qing to investigate.

Wei Qing thought for a while and said: "The subordinates have investigated, Mingyanlou is very mysterious, it is said that it is the number one assassination organization in the rivers and lakes, they have always been known for being fast, accurate, and ruthless, and rarely missed, and the subordinates also found out a thing, the first owner of Mingyanlou loved gold and silver, and the business was always silver, and the deposit was extremely high, and this person, the former identity was even more interesting, he was once out of office, and he achieved the position of Yan Yunwei's staff leader in the imperial court. ”

Chu Shaoyuan looked at Wei Qing in surprise, the people who are qualified to enter Yan Yunwei are all the children of the noble clan who can make the emperor completely feel at ease, and the people who can make Yan Yunwei participate in the leadership are not only one in a thousand, but his background will never be low, but how could such a person establish such a Jianghu killer organization? Is it just for the sake of gold and silver?

Yan Yunwei is the official position of Sanpin, although it is not more oil and water than other official positions, but he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is closer to the emperor than other official positions, no matter where he goes, he can be courteous.

But he established such an assassination organization in private, isn't he afraid that the court will find out and ask him for his guilt?

Chu Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Is this person involved in something, and he will only ...... if he is demoted?"

Wei Qing nodded, "At that time, when Emperor Wuzong was in power, because he was involved in the traitorous party of the previous dynasty, he was dismissed and investigated by Emperor Wuzong, although it was later found out that he was wronged, but the person had been exiled to three thousand miles away, and when he returned to Yunfu, his appearance was ruined, and the whole person was tortured and dying, and he could no longer enter the court as an official, and even his family lost their lives because of this case." ”

In this way, it can explain why he established Mingyan Tower, and even why the intelligence organization in Mingyan Tower is so powerful...... Yan Yunwei's people have any ability, he knows very well.

"Then is this person still alive now?" Chu Shaoyuan was very concerned about this, if he was still alive, I am afraid that he would be the one who controlled Mingyan Tower behind him, and I am afraid that there is something unknown in Mingyan Tower.

Wei Qing replied: "This person died a few years ago, and now the owner of Mingyan Tower is his apprentice, the same Shen Shuofeng who I saw in Yanmen Pass before. ”

Chu Shaoyuan thought for a while, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Wei Qing: "Tomorrow, you make arrangements, I will leave the palace." ”

Wei Qing nodded yes and retreated to make arrangements.

……

Xiao Qing and Xiao Pei returned home, and as soon as they settled the prisoner in a hurry, they were immediately called to the study by Xiao Rui.

Xiao Pei and Xiao Qing knew that they had not discussed the matter with their father this time, so they recklessly took it in their hands, which must have made their father unhappy, and both of them stood under the wall in a proper manner, looking like they were being trained with their heads shrunk, which made Xiao Rui helplessly angry and funny.

"You two little rabbit cubs!" Xiao Rui patted their heads vigorously, and said angrily: "You are getting bolder and bolder, especially Qing'er, what is the place outside the gate? Even your father doesn't dare to sneak in alone, you are capable, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, if you fold in it, let your brother know how much remorse? And this time, the three of you brothers and sisters discussed it and hid it from me, not letting me make preparations in advance, but suddenly got people into the house, and the chickens and dogs jumped for a while. ”

Xiao Qing's eyes slipped to his father, and saw that there was not much anger on his father's face, but more helplessness, and at the same time he was relieved in his heart, the words of slapping the horse came out: "We are also afraid that the wind will leak on the road, and we have discussed it on the road at that time, there are still female dependents in the family of the king of Guangning, so naturally there is no way to lock people up in the house, and among so many generals in Dayan, our family has the deepest grudge with the Tartars, and we have no female dependents in our family, so naturally we unanimously agreed to lock people in our house." ”

"Fart!" Xiao Rui's eyes widened like copper bells, "Why don't we have a female dependent, are you a man?"

Xiao Pei listened to Daddy's undisguised scolding of his sister, and laughed, his own sister is indeed far from the average female dependent, when it was discussed, even his sister herself didn't realize that there was such a female dependent as her in their family, and now he suddenly heard Daddy ask his sister if she was a man, he reacted and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Xiao Rui glared at Xiao Pei fiercely, "And you, how do you protect the three princes on the road? can put the three princes in danger, if it weren't for the emperor and his backhand, I'm afraid that one or two of you little rabbit cubs will all be folded outside the gate!"

Xiao Pei was suddenly stunned, he had always thought that they were able to return to Yanmen Pass because of Chu Shaoyuan's single-handedness, after listening to Daddy's words, he was surprised, "The emperor knows that we are outside the gate?"

Xiao Rui shook his head and sighed and said: "It's true that Mother Xing Qianli is worried about this, if this matter is not promoted by the emperor, I am afraid that you are still staying outside the gate now." ”

Xiao Pei wanted to ask carefully, but Xiao Rui changed his head, "Okay, you guys hurry up and wash up," he looked at the two of them with some disgust, "Rush back all the way, and the ashes will fall off when you walk." ”

After saying that, he thought of something again, and added, "Qing'er stays." ”

Xiao Pei looked at Xiao Qing gloatingly, Daddy must have scolded her to relieve his anger, leaving her alone just to take care of her face.

Obviously, Xiao Qing thought the same way, she hurriedly lowered her head, and looked like she had admitted her mistake.
