Chapter 16: There Are Thieves
Ju Xiang didn't notice the looks of the people around her, but happily responded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiao Hanyu...... No, it's Hanxiang from now on.
There is no Xiao Hanqiong in the world, and there is no Xiao Hanyu.
She moved out of the east wing and lived in the same room with Ju Xiang, except for the first-class maids, the rest of the maids who were not of the same rank were in the same room.
At night, Ju Xiang was on duty, and Mama Wu set up a soft couch next to Mrs. Wei's bed in the inner room, and Ju Xiang was waiting for dispatch in the side compartment.
The next room is located in the northwest corner of Yongshouju, and the houses in this row are very simple compared to the east wing in front of Yongshouju.
It's just that it's luxurious, it's simple, and it has nothing to do with her.
Tonight, Ju Xiang is on duty, Han Xiang stays in this house alone, everything here is no different from the East Wing in her eyes, they are all the same strange.
She stripped off her clothes and lay on the bed, looking out the window not far away.
There was no lamp in the room, and the starlight outside the window was exceptionally bright, and she woke up very early, and she was very tired this day, but she didn't feel sleepy at this time.
Maybe it's because of the discomfort of the new environment, maybe it's the difficulty of letting go of the new identity, the back is stiff when I lie down, and I don't feel sleepy.
The night was extraordinarily quiet, and she couldn't sleep, but she heard some unquiet sounds other than the quiet.
It seemed to be the sound of knives and gunfires, intermittent, and should be far away.
Han Xiang listened quietly, she seemed to be able to think of the scene when the officers and soldiers surrounded the Xiao family, hundreds of clansmen were slaughtered, and their butcher's knives probably made such a sound.
She only felt that there was a death somewhere in her heart, and it was difficult to be awakened.
It didn't take long for the sound to cease, and for a long time no sound came. The scene that appeared in her mind just now made her even less sleepy, and she thought that if she would be so sleepy in the future, she would have to write a recipe to grab a few herbs and eat them.
After about another cup of tea, she still didn't feel sleepy, but she heard the movement from the Wei Mansion again.
No, it's not just Weifu, it's the neighborhood that has such a voice: the sound of banging on the door.
There was a heavy knock on the door.
It's especially harsh at night.
The back house was alarmed, not to mention the front yard, the gatehouse on duty at night opened the door, only to see that they were all soldiers in armor, and the leader was a captain of the patrol battalion, the gatehouse was pushed back a few steps by the leader as soon as the door was opened, and said in a shout: "I haven't opened the door until now, be careful to accuse you of a crime to be committed." ”
The concierge on duty at night is more than fifty years old, and has stayed in the Wei family for a lifetime, and now the Wei family is also considered to have some status in Beijing, the eldest master is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the second master is the Jianghuai prefect, and the third master is not out of office, and the people who come and go are all famous and Confucian, and no one has ever called himself a master like this at the door of the Wei Mansion.
The porter's face was gloomy, but looking at the ice blades held by those people, they were all fierce and vicious, swallowed and spit, and endured that breath back.
When the men came in, they heard the leader shouting, "Search! Don't let go of every corner. ”
The porter looked at this battle, his heart jumped, and the resentment just now was gone, so he hurriedly piled up a smile and said repeatedly: "Master Jun... Master Jun...... It's not that I'm in the wrong place, this is Wei Shang Mansion. ”
The porter also wanted to remind the patrol battalion that this was not a place they could search.
When the leader heard this, instead of reining in, he said loudly: "The imperial city has been stolen, and the palaces of the princes and ladies have been searched, but you can't search the Shangshu Mansion?" ”
As he spoke, Wei Shiyan had already come out, he was wearing pajamas, and he was only wearing a big coat outside, obviously coming in a hurry.
Wei Shiyan also heard what the leader said, his brows furrowed, he took a few steps forward, and said in a deep voice: "What happened?" ”
The leader knows Wei Shiyan, and there are not many first-class people in Beijing, so they naturally know it.
His attitude towards Wei Shiyan was naturally different from his attitude towards the porter, and when he saw Wei Shiyan coming, he clasped his fists and saluted: "I have seen Lord Wei, I am ordered to hunt down key criminals, and if there is a collision, please also ask Lord Wei Haihan." ”
Wei Shiyan listened to him, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle deeper.
The person in front of him, judging from his clothes, was just a small leader of the patrol battalion, and he didn't even have the slightest impression, but his tone was disrespectful.
It's just because the current backer of the patrol battalion is the third prince, that is, the new prince in the future, that they dare to be so presumptuous.
Wei Shi suppressed his anger and asked, "Oh? What kind of criminals are they, and why are they in my palace? ”
When the leader heard Wei Shi's gloomy words, he was not afraid, and said casually: "There are thieves in the palace who have sneaked in, startling Your Majesty who is recuperating, Your Majesty ordered a pursuit, and the thief was injured and fled here and lost his trace, and must have hidden nearby." ”
At this time, there was another sound outside, it was also the sound of knocking on the door, and the sound of opening the door was endless.
In this way, it is not aimed at the Wei family, it is possible that there are really thieves hiding around here.
"In that case, let's search carefully over there, but the old father and mother are now sick and recuperating, and you have to be careful when searching in those two yards." Wei Shiyan's attitude was a little more relaxed than just now, if it was really the theft of the imperial city, His Majesty would not be able to bear it.
The leader said "natural", and then motioned for his men to start searching.
Especially when I arrived at the back house, the housekeeper followed inseparably, and the back house was all female dependents, and the third watch was in the middle of the night, in case of a collision, it would be difficult to say at that time.
The front yard was a mess, Han Xiang heard the sound early in the morning, she sat up, thinking that Xu was related to the sound of the fight she heard before, just when she was barefoot and just about to put on her shoes, there was a flash in front of the window, and then the wooden stick holding the window fell to the ground.
Originally, I could see a little outline of the house through the moonlight outside, but now I couldn't see anything, and I couldn't see the darkness of my fingers.
I don't know if it's because she died once, such a dark night, such a sudden change, she didn't feel scared or frightened, but frowned.
She couldn't see anything, but instinctively sensed danger.
Someone's coming in!
She had nothing to defend herself with, not even a hairpin on her head, and she was afraid of making a noise, so she got barefoot on the ground and stood beside the tent.
If that person is close to the bed, tearing down the tent can trap him for a while, and the chance of getting out of trouble will be greater!
