"Qingyu Kung Fu is not weak, I can help you if necessary", Shangguan Yuntian said lightly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Help me? Forget it, I think you've sent me to spy on me. Jiang Wanluo paused and said: "I see that the young master is cautious, this principle of 'don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people' should always understand." ”

"Be smart." Shangguan Yuntian said coldly, was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "After entering the mansion, you don't have to rush to find the whereabouts of the talisman, Wen Chongxiao is thoughtful, and he will not put such an important thing in the open, if he acts rashly, he will definitely startle the snake." ”

"Just put your heart in your belly, and I won't let you down." When Jiang Wanluo was still Yang Xiaoxi, after all, she had received very professional undercover training in the police force, and she had two years of practical experience as an undercover agent in a drug trafficking group, so she was quite confident that she would go to the General's Mansion to act as a detailed worker.

After listening to Jiang Wanluo's words, Shangguan Yuntian showed a slight trace of doubt on his face, but he didn't say anything more. The two of them didn't say anything for a while, and then they went to sleep.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Jiang Wanluo and Qing Yu were sent to the inspectorate. Along the way, she roughly learned from Qingyu that the place she crossed to was Kyoto-Xuancheng in the Xi Kingdom, and the country and dynasty were not recorded in the history books, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was a direct agency of the imperial court, which was responsible for investigating the cases of officials in the country.

According to the laws of the Xi Kingdom, the descendants of some officials who were exiled for their crimes would be used as official slaves for the exclusive use of the ministers of the court and the central government, and would be temporarily detained in the Metropolitan Procuratorate before being assigned to the prefectures.

The two got out of the carriage at the back door of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and a man dressed in plain clothes and wearing a hat walked up to them.

When she got closer, Jiang Wanluo caught a slight glimpse of his face. This person looks like he has passed the age of not being confused, with round sword eyebrows and a beard, and before he speaks, he has some aura of not being angry and arrogant.

"Little brother Qingyu, don't come unharmed." The man lifted his hat up slightly, and his tone was half playful.

"Lord Chen, this is not the place to talk, let's be careful", Qing Yu said in a low voice.

The man smiled disapprovingly, his gaze swept quickly from Jiang Wanluo, and said, "After the dynasty this morning, I will personally send you and several other officials, slaves, and maids to the General's Mansion, but you have to be wronged first to go to the prison and wait." ”

"It's okay, the adults just lead the way." Qing Yu's attitude towards him was respectful

The two followed Master Chen through the back door of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and cautiously all the way to the cell. Jiang Wanluo also learned from Qing Yu later that this Lord Chen's real name is Chen Lan, and he is the supervisor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, although Qing Yu did not say it explicitly, but Wanluo knew that he must also play a vital role in this conspiracy that is about to start.

The hour has passed, and the streets of Xuancheng have gradually become lively.

At this time, it is the April day in the world, the willow branches are green, the flowers are blooming, and the wind is warm on the face.

On both sides of the road, the cries of businessmen and the chasing and frolicking of children are connected.

Chen Lan rode a horse, held the holy decree in his hand, and personally escorted eight officials, slaves, officials and maids to the general's mansion, accompanied by several guards from the Imperial Procuratorate, and along the way, the people in the city kept hearing the sound and came to watch.

Not far away, Wen Chongxiao had already taken his family to wait outside the gate of the General's Mansion to prepare to receive the order. Chen Lan walked to the gate of the General's Mansion and saw Wen Chongxiao and his wife standing in front of the door from a distance, so he got off his horse and stepped forward on foot.

"General Wen, Your Royal Highness the Princess." Chen Lan saluted the two respectfully and said, "I heard that the general was ill this morning, so why do you need to go out to greet him in person, you should take care of your body." ”

"It's just a little chill, it's okay." Wen Chongxiao's voice was low: "But there is Master Lao Chen who runs this trip." ”

General Wen was serious. These eight officials and servants were all very well chosen, and there were four servants and maidservants each for the use of the government. Chen Lan handed the holy decree to Wen Chongxiao with both hands, and then turned around and ordered: "A few of you come over to meet the general and the princess."

Jiang Wanluo followed everyone up a few steps forward, knelt down and saluted, and looked up at the Wen family standing in front of the steps, men and women together looked like about fifty or sixty people.

When he left the Jiuxuan Palace in the morning, Shangguan Yuntian hastily explained the situation of the General's Mansion. Wen Chongxiao worships the hussar general, holds the power of commanding the army of the Xi Kingdom, and has two aunts in the house in addition to the main room.

The main family is Princess Anning, the emperor's sister, so in addition to the position of general, Wen Chongxiao also has another title, that is, to be the master of the court. He and Princess Changping have a son and a daughter, namely the eldest young master Wen Changqi and the fourth young lady Wen Caiqin. Wen Changqi is currently the deputy marshal of the military department, has been stationed at the border for many years, does not live at home, and has married Hu Shi, the daughter of the imperial prince. Wen Caiqin was fourteen years old and grew up at the beginning.

The second room Huo is the daughter of Fujia in the capital, and gave birth to the second young master Wen Changchu, Wen Changchu is currently the position of the imperial guard, and is deeply loved by the emperor.

Sanfang Lin's family is a woman brought back by Wen Chongxiao from the war, and because of her humble background, she has no right to speak in the house. However, he also gave birth to a son for Wen Chongxiao, named Wen Changge, who is now eighteen years old, and has not yet reached the age of entering the palace as an official, and is still studying and practicing martial arts with his father and brother at home.

"Please Lord Chen thank the emperor on my behalf." Wen Chongxiao respectfully accepted the holy decree, and said with a straight face: "Since Lord Chen is here, please go to the cold house to have a cup of tea before leaving, it just so happens that the princess also has something to bother you to tell the emperor." With that, the two entered the house with greetings.

When everyone dispersed, a man in a gray robe brought Qing Yu and four other male servants inside. After another half of the incense, I saw a woman in a dark green satin dress coming down the steps.

"I am the housekeeper of the General's Mansion, and the girls and masters in the mansion all respect me as Mother Li on weekdays." The woman paced and looked at the four maidservants, including Jiang Wanluo, one by one.

"I heard that you used to be a lady of the official family, and you became an official maid because the family violated the royal law. Today, I will also say ugly things in front, since you are here to serve people, put away the temper of the previous master for me, if someone provokes trouble and is lazy, I don't care which family you used to be the daughter of the young lady, the same heavy punishment. Did you hear it all? ”

"Yes." Jiang Wanluo replied softly with everyone, and played the drum in her heart, this old lady really looks like a grandmother's temperament, and I am afraid that I will be able to bear it when I do things under her in the future.

The four of them followed Li's mother into the house, and around the rockery in the main gate, they saw an arched stone gate, with the word Zhengyuan written on it.

"From here, you will enter the main garden of the General's Mansion, where the masters live. According to the rules, only first-class girls can enter the main garden to serve the master directly" Mother Li held her hair in a bun with her hand and continued: "But since you are a few of you who are official maids given by the emperor, Madame is specially allowed to come in to do some delicate work, and even the food and clothing are different from other places." ”
