Chapter 349
Holding the child down in the sedan chair, Yinzhen carefully observed Hongli's expression, sure enough, the child tightened his small mouth tightly, his eyes were like a cat at night, his fingers grabbed the clothes on Yinzhen's chest, and even his little nose was cocked, as if he smelled a special smell in the air......
At this moment, the fourteenth elder brother had already received the news, the servant turned on the light, and he had already walked out of the house, just stared coldly at the people and horses rushing over, hugged his arms, and made no sound.
Looking up at the cold face of the fourteenth elder brother, Yin Zhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, why did he just bump into his house?
God knows how stiff he and this younger brother of the same mother have been in the past two years.
However, now that Hongli has identified this place, for the sake of Sjiepan's life, even if they are reluctant, they have to break through.
Eight elder brothers and nine elder brothers gathered around, and Yinzhen whispered to them: "This is it!" ”
The expressions of several elder brothers immediately changed!
The fourteenth elder brother saw the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother, and his face softened slightly: "Starling brother, why did you come late at night?" Is there something urgent? ”
Eighth elder brother nodded: "Old Fourteen, I'm afraid I have to ask you to be accommodating about tonight's matter." Fourth brother, he ......"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yinzhen, because the person who invited the imperial decree was Yinzhen.
Yin Zhen had no choice but to say: "Old Fourteen, today in the palace, there was a sudden murder against Hongli, and I have asked Huang Ama to search overnight." ”
The fourteenth elder brother nodded: "Yes." Then it's strange, why did the murder of your son come to my house? ”
"The murderer is the one who poisoned the palace maid and eunuch next to Concubine Yi in the palace last time." Yin Zhen said, "Now that he is afraid of crime and absconding, it is likely that he is hiding in your mansion......"
"Joke!" The fourteenth elder brother interrupted him loudly, "Why do you say that he is hiding in my mansion?!" Isn't this a bloody mouth! ”
Yinzhen wanted to say, "My son said that the prisoner is hiding here!" But he couldn't say it.
The eighth elder brother saw that Yinzhen was embarrassed, so he hurriedly said: "Old fourteen, you will let the fourth brother and them go in and search......
"Starling's words are wrong! In the middle of the night, he was angry with the soldiers and horses, and he came and searched as he said, and he paid it back! The fourteenth elder brother's voice was as sharp as a cone, "I also inquired, this way, he didn't enter anywhere, but came to me, shouting to come in and search!" He was clearly deliberately looking for fault with me! Starling, what are you afraid of him! I'll take care of this matter today, even if it comes to the emperor, I'm not afraid! ”
Yin Zhen was furious when he heard this, and he nodded coldly: "Okay, then I will tell you, Old Fourteen, the search for your brother's mansion today is the emperor's imperial decree!" If you dare to block it, you are disrespectful! ”
The fourteenth elder brother was so excited by his words that he was furious! He grabbed the glass sheep's horn wind lamp in the servant's hand, slammed it to the ground, and with a bang, the flames burst out!
"Okay, fourth! You want to use Huang Ama to press me?! I'm going to disrespect the decree today, and I'm desperate not to let you enter this door!" You have the ability to take me and escort me to Huang Ama! ”
Yin Zhen was very angry, and he was about to let the soldiers and horses forcibly break in, but he was stopped by the ninth elder brother next to him who stretched out his hand.
"Fourth brother, I'll tell you." He turned his head to the fourteenth elder brother and said sincerely, "Good brother, today's incident is because of me, don't blame the fourth brother." ”
The fourteenth elder brother was stunned: "Ninth brother? What did you say? ”
"This prisoner must be caught before midnight today, or Sjepan will die."
Then, he pinched off the head and tail of Sjepan's poisoning, and briefly told the fourteenth elder brother about it.
After listening, the fourteenth elder brother was still full of suspicion: "Ninth brother, it shouldn't be the fourth brother who lied to you, right?" ”
"He didn't lie to me, I didn't lie to you, Old Fourteen, this matter is very important, you let people go in and search, if you can't find it, Brother Jiu, I will come to your door tomorrow to plead guilty for you."
What an arrogant person the ninth elder brother is, but at this moment he said the words of guilt, which made the fourteenth elder brother embarrassed.
But he still said, "But how did he know it was at my house!" ”
"Because Hongli found out that something was wrong here......"
The fourteenth elder brother couldn't cry or laugh: "Brother Jiu, you are stupid! A two-year-old kid who said the prisoner is in my house, then in my house?! He said that you are disobedient and guilty, do you believe it too?! ”
The tenth elder brother couldn't hold back on the side: "Old fourteen, that kid in Hongli really thinks that something is wrong with you here!" ”
His words added fuel to the fire and made the fourteenth elder brother crazy!
"Brother Ten, you were also drugged by the fourth brother?! He said something is wrong with my family, so something is really wrong with my family?! You're crazy! How can you believe the words of a two-year-old! ”
Brother Nine was anxious: "Old Fourteen, I can't explain this matter to you." Don't grind my mouth here! Time is urgent, open the door! Gather all the servants of the house! ”
The fourteenth elder brother was also hardened by what he said, and he turned his face cold: "Brother Jiu, I know you are in a hurry, and I also believe what you said, this matter is related to the life of that foreign piece in your family - but the suspect must not be in my house!" I stare at all these dozen people in my family all day long! No one will ever run out and be poisoned! Starling and ninth brother, since time is tight, you tell the fourth brother to hurry up and search elsewhere! Don't waste time with me! ”
Brother Nine was so anxious and angry that he almost punched Brother Fourteen!
The eighth elder brother next to him, who had not spoken, quickly reached out at this time and pressed the ninth elder brother's fist, and said, "I have a way." ”
The people who were clamoring just now turned their faces to look at him when they heard him say this.
"Old Fourteen, I know, you don't want to let the fourth brother come into your house with soldiers and horses to search, I can understand this." Eighth Elder Brother's tone was very gentle, "Then let's do it, I'll propose a compromise solution, I'll go in, I'll hold Hongli, just the two of us." ”
The fourteenth elder brother looked at the eighth elder brother in amazement: "Eighth brother, what do you mean?" ”
"It's just our uncle and nephew who come to see you, is that okay?" Eighth Elder Brother smiled slightly, "Old Fourteen, isn't this allowed?" ”
The fourteenth elder brother was stuck, and he muttered for a while: "But the starling brother ......"
Eighth Elder Brother was still smiling, but his sharp black eyes were firmly fixed on Fourteenth Elder Brother's eyes: "Old Fourteen, if you still recognize me as a Starling Brother, let me in." If you don't let me in tonight, then I won't be able to enter your door again. ”
His sentence made the fourteenth elder brother panic, and the eighth elder brother never came to the door again? How can this work? Doesn't this mean that he was openly swept out of the Eight Masters Party!
After weighing it repeatedly, the fourteenth elder brother gritted his teeth: "Okay!" Then it's only you and Hongli, this kid! No more soldiers! ”
Yin Zhen looked at Andre worriedly: "Is this okay?" ”
Andrei said: "With Hongli here, no problem. Eighth Master, please observe Hongli's performance carefully, and let him see the faces of everyone in this brother's mansion clearly. ”
The eighth elder brother nodded, and he reached out to take Hongli: "Don't worry, I know." ”
So, the family members stood in a row at the door with unkind faces, and put on a posture of swearing to guard the mansion to the death and confront the soldiers and horses at the door. The fourteenth elder brother glanced at Yinzhen coldly, and then invited the eighth elder brother who was holding the child into the house.
According to the request of the eighth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother called out all the slaves in the family, as well as the Fujin, including the Fujin.
Fourteen Fujin was still very young, this scene made her frightened, she held the handkerchief and said softly: "Starling......"
Eighth Elder Brother only smiled slightly: "It's okay, I came today, I just want to find someone here." This is also for your safety. ”
The fourteenth elder brother's family has a large population, a group of slaves, plus a few Fujin he has married in recent years, and the girls of the Fujin...... Boom a large crowd, all standing in the courtyard. The eighth elder brother was holding Hongli at first, but later found that the light was dark at night and the people were dense, which made it inconvenient for Hongli to observe, so he said to the fourteenth elder brother: "Old fourteen, I put Hongli down and let him see it for himself." Done? ”
The fourteenth elder brother smiled sarcastically: "Cheng! However, is he walking steadily? Do you want someone to help? ”
What does he mean, a two-year-old child, who can't walk steadily, and asks him to come and check? Isn't that a joke!
The eighth elder brother didn't care: "It's okay, Hongli is walking steadily, let him go." ”
So, all the old and young people in the Elder Brother's Mansion stared down at the two-year-old doll, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, including those young girls, seeing Hongli looking white and tender, a pair of black eyes flickering, and the pink ball was extremely cute, they all liked it, and some deliberately bent their waists low, wanting to tease him, but the child staggered over, raised his head like a puppy, sniffed hard, and walked away disinterested.
The girls let out a low laugh, and some even whispered, Xiao Xi'er, isn't the powder you smeared today fragrant enough?
But it was obvious that Hongli was not here to smell the incense, otherwise, he would not have come to the gardener covered in mud and grabbed his gray braid and sniffed it vigorously. Smelling the old gardener's face turned blue, he looked up at the fourteenth elder brother: "Master, this ......"
"Just let him smell it." The fourteenth elder brother said coldly, "Let him smell enough and see what he can smell!" ”
After smelling it for a long time, Hongli finally threw away his braids and stopped looking at the gardener.
From housekeepers to cooks, from florists to girls, from Chang Fujin to the newly married Shu Fujin, everyone has been seen and smelled enough by Hongli.
During this period, the eighth elder brother occasionally looked back at the door, he could hear the slight sound of horses and whispers, took out his pocket watch to see, and the eighth elder brother couldn't help but become anxious: tonight, despite the resolute opposition of the fourteenth elder brother, he had to come in with the child in his arms, wouldn't it be embarrassing if nothing was found out in the end?
Besides, it's past nine o'clock, and there are less than three hours left, and if you can't find it again, Stepanko will be dead!
Seeing Hongli stumbling out of the last row of the crowd, the heart of the eighth elder brother sank vigorously!
"What? Didn't find it? He asked Hongli.
The child shook his head and dragged his voice: "Not in ......"
Eighth Brother's heart sank to the bottom!
Not here? Ran away? Or is there no Fourteenth Elder Brother here?
When the fourteenth elder brother heard this, he sneered even more: "Starling, this is not what I said!" You heard, this is what Hongli said himself! Okay, I'll go find the fourth! I see what else he has to say! ”
Eighth Elder Brother's brain suddenly flashed with lightning!
"Wait a minute!" He stopped his younger brother, "Old Fourteen, are all the people in your house here?" ”
"Of course! I told them all to come out! ”
"Well, but I didn't see you count the numbers." Eighth Elder Brother continued to say patiently, "It's best for you to take the roster and check the number of people to see if they are all present." ”
The fourteenth elder brother's face became ugly: "Starling brother, are you a little too much?" ”
The eighth elder brother said slowly: "Since you have checked, you can simply check it out at once." ”
The fourteenth elder brother had no choice but to ask someone to bring the roster and name them one by one.
As a result, in the three-quarters of the way to the call, there was a person, the little guy of the fourteenth elder brother shouted three times in a row, and no one answered!
In the crowd, there was a slight commotion!
Eighth Elder Brother stepped forward quickly and took the roster: "Who is this person?" ”
"Back to the eighth master, Changxing is a kid who works in the stable......"
Eighth Brother frowned, groom? Isn't that right, isn't it supposed to be a person in charge of things?
But he thought about it, the 3D printed mask can be changed, and the body shape can be disguised at will, maybe he is a thin horseman at home, and it is possible to become a fat housekeeper when he goes out.
The fourteenth elder brother was also a little unbearable now, and there was really someone who was not at the scene. He said angrily: "Changxing, this kid! Where is he! Where have you gone! Zhou Sheng! Didn't I tell you to find them all? ”
The housekeeper Zhou Sheng wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "Master, the slaves are calling everywhere, telling everyone to come out, and the slaves don't pay attention to ......"
Without knowing the severity of the problem, a groom who is not present does not really attract people's attention.
Thinking of this, the eighth elder brother asked again: "Who has seen this Changxing today?" ”
One of the servants said weakly, "The slave has seen it." ”
"When did you meet?!"
"That's it...... It's not long before you come, Eighth Master. The servant trembled and said, "Changxing said that he had a stomach upset and went to the toilet......
Eighth Elder Brother asked urgently: "He didn't go out, did he?" ”
The housekeeper hurriedly said, "No! There are people watching at the door tonight, and he hasn't left our mansion! ”
"That's good." Eighth Elder Brother said quickly, "Old Fourteen, find this person!" We've got to find him out even if we dig three feet into the ground! ”
There is no need for the eighth elder brother to ask, the fourteenth elder brother has already called a few small people around him: "Quick, go to the backyard to check, whether Changxing is there!" ”
The little ones were about to leave with their torches, when they heard a thin voice behind them shouting, "Be careful! ”
Looking back, it turned out to be Hongli!
The little ones looked at each other, and they couldn't help but shudder: the two-year-old told them to be careful, this ...... Isn't that frightening!
Seeing them hesitating, the fourteenth elder brother couldn't help but get angry: "Useless thing! Find out what to be afraid of a slave who does rough work! If such a young child says something, you guys take it seriously?! ”
The eighth elder brother was about to persuade the fourteenth elder brother, when he suddenly heard the housekeeper shouting: "Master, look! That's not! Changxing is coming! ”
Everyone turned their heads to look over, and sure enough, a figure came out of the darkness in the backyard, tossing and turning, as if it was not very convenient to move, and his mouth was still chanting: "The master spares his life, the master spares his life, and the slave is ...... today I ran a loose stomach today, and I didn't hold it back just now...... Alas, my legs are numb! The ass is cold! ”
This funny appearance made all the girls and servants laugh.
Seeing that the person came out by himself, the fourteenth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, and he pretended to be annoyed again, and shouted at the man: "Bastard thing! Call you out, in your pants and you have to come out! ”
Then he said to the eighth elder brother: "Look, starling, isn't this coming?" Changxing squatted in the toilet for a while, and ...... okay"
Before he finished his words, he saw that the clumsy figure that was originally slow and slow suddenly was as fast as lightning! Without waiting for everyone to see clearly, within a second, the black shadow was like an eagle falcon, flying to the side of the eighth elder brother, and grabbed him from behind: "Don't move!" ”
Everyone present is stupid!
Take a closer look, a snow-bright dagger is lying across the neck of the eighth elder brother! (To be continued.) )
