Chapter 247: Suspicious
Prime Minister Xiao's Mansion in the capital. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Prime Minister Xiao Feng was sitting in the study and looked at the middle-aged man below, and after a while, he said:
"You're saying that the rescued man is likely a soldier who came back from the Northwest?"
Below stood a middle-aged man, wearing a faded cloth hat on his head and a gray coarse cloth jacket, looking like he was of a moderate poor background.
But what makes people wonder is that this person's eyes are big and bright, and his back is straight, without the slightest humility and timidity.
The inconsistency between temperament and clothing makes people inevitably take a few more looks.
The man nodded and said:
According to the clues found by his subordinates, although this person is not 100% certain, there is a 180% possibility of 100 people. That person is hiding in the ruffians in the capital, and he can't find it around him in normal times, so that his subordinates are strange that this person can't find the root of his parents, nor can he find his childhood residence and playmates around him, and he became suspicious for a while, so he met a deserter from the northwest through a subordinate, and then tracked down and felt that this person was a bit like a soldier in the northwest."
Xiao Xiang's face sank and said: "If you really say so, if the person who spread the rumors is a soldier from the Northwest, then this matter is not simple, and it is not something that can be explained clearly in the last sentence or two."
"Indeed, my subordinates think so too," the middle-aged man replied below.
"The thief who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to rescue people has found clues" Xiao Xiang said with a gloomy face, "If the person who spread the rumors is the Northwest Army, then this rescue must also be related to the Northwest Army, maybe the two are the same gang."
The man standing and straight below heard it and nodded, "It's really possible, my subordinates have sent someone to check the Northwest Army, if these two people are at the latest, they will have eyebrows tomorrow at the latest."
Xiao Xiang thought for a while and said: "No, don't startle the snake first, don't move the troops on your side, and then I will send someone to investigate in detail, and then I will say when I confirm that there are other actions sent to you, now that I have a goal, then other things will be much easier."
The man's jaw "Yes, Xiangye"
"You go back first, this matter ends here, and then there are other things to go back to me"
"Yes, Xiangye"
The man obediently gave a salute and took his leave.
Now Xiao Xiangman's mind is full of how to think about this, if this person is really the Northwest Army, then this matter must be inseparable from Chu Yi.
In the entire capital, if you want to say that there is a Northwest Army, it can only be Chu Yi.
However, it stands to reason that Xue'er and Chu Yi have made a marriage, this is an unchangeable fact, Chu Yi will not benefit him at all, the wisest thing for any person is to stand in a straight line with the Prime Minister, this truth is understood by everyone, Chu Yi is a general, so he will not know things that are beneficial to his future.
Moreover, Xiao Xue'er and his marriage have also been decreed, why this person should be his enemy, it is worth studying.
Xiao Xiang thought of this and shouted: "Come on"
The little guy guarding the door heard the shouting and ran into the house, "Xiangye, what do you command?"
"Xiaoyu, you go and get the eldest lady for me"
"Yes" Xiaoyu happily agreed, and strode away.
He has been with Xiao Xiang since he was a child, his father died in a mission, Xiao Xiang was grateful, so he kept him by his side to raise him, until he became an adult and could use it, and he has been following Xiao Xiang in and out of various courts.
said that he was a subordinate, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it was more like a close subordinate of his.
Although Xiaoyu is not very old, he is very shrewd and capable, a boy who is less than twenty years old is tall and strong, and he does not walk with the low eyebrows of ordinary people, but he has a hard body.
This kind of style is usually very conspicuous in the house, and every time she goes, she frequently arouses the little girl's sideways.
He trotted all the way to Miss Xiao's yard, and when he saw the little maid guarding the door, he said, "Go and tell the eldest lady that the master wants to see her now."
The little maid ran into the house again and told Xiao Xue'er.
Miss Xiao was very angry since she was driven back from the General's Mansion that day, but later she unconsciously excused her, guessing that the General's Mansion might indeed be too busy, and it involved state military secrets, so it was normal not to let herself in, and today she was still thinking about going over to take a look.
At this time, when she was getting dressed and about to leave, she heard the little girl say that her father called her.
didn't stay, and led Xiao Ran out of the courtyard.
Brother Xiaoyu was also guarding the door at this time, waiting for this young lady to go.
He rarely looks in person, and he doesn't have many opportunities to see Xiao Xue'er.
When he saw the eldest lady come out, he hurriedly bowed and saw him.
Xiao Xue'er rarely saw such a young man in the house, not to mention the appearance mark, his figure was different from those weak scholars, he was the kind of burly and strong physique that gave people safety, which made people feel excited.
She couldn't help but look at her twice and said, "You are my father's subordinate, why haven't I seen you?"
Brother Xiaoyu replied unhurriedly: "If you go back to Miss, you usually go to carry out the orders of the prime minister, and your subordinates rarely stay in the house."
"Oh, you're the little rain brother everyone said?"
Xiao Xue'er remembered that there were often little maids secretly talking on the side, saying that her father had a very handsome person, tall and unusually good-looking in clothes, so there must be no doubt that this person was this person.
Brother Xiaoyu didn't expect the eldest lady in front of him to know his name, and said with a smile: "Thank you Miss for remembering her subordinates, and her father and mother also worked in the mansion in the past." ”
"Oh, yes, so you're a family child?"
"Yes, Miss"
He doesn't look like a minion at all, but he's really blind to this good skin.
Xiao Xue'er already likes beautiful things, especially beautiful boys, and her heart is even more joyful, thinking that it would be good for this subordinate father to give it to herself, and continued to ask:
"I don't know what my father is looking for me"
She wanted to find out what he was saying.
Brother Xiaoyu has been with Xiao Xiang all the year round, and he still understands this rule, so he shook his head there and said:
"This subordinate really doesn't know"
Xiao Xue'er saw that this person actually said to her father, not at all to herself, and said a little unhappily:
"Brother Xiaoyu, are you looking up at me beautiful?"
Xiaoyu lowered her head again when she heard this, her heart thumped, and she didn't know how to get back, so she said for a long time: "This ...... The young lady is naturally beautiful."
Xiao Xue'er saw that the person in front of her was embarrassed by this question and didn't dare to look at her, and her mood suddenly improved, and she smiled:
"I'm going to ask my father to come over to you, would you like to?"
Brother Xiaoyu was shocked when he heard this, let him follow this eldest lady?
I didn't know how to resist and be scared in my heart, but with a rare joy, I said: "My subordinates obey the orders of the prime minister"
Xiao Xue'er heard Yile, "It's okay if you don't object", and after saying this, she walked towards Xiao Xiang's study.
Xiao Xiang inside was thinking about something, he was thinking about his daughter's marriage to Chu Yi.
