Chapter 404: Just Give Money
Rong Entang also said that it was normal at dinner, anyway, the second lady and the third lady didn't notice anything abnormal, and they didn't even know about the fact that there was a little guest in the long room, where would the people of Jichengtang and Zhongming Yuan tell outsiders about this.
After dinner, as soon as the eldest lord and the eldest lady returned to their house, Gu Yun came to his parents and brought them two notes written by Bai Ko, in addition to one was a complete story, and the other was a story made up in response to civil and military officials.
In this story, Bai Ko completely took himself out, only saying that Gong Zhenghui was smart, brave and wise to escape from the bad guys, and in a panic, he saw the carriage of the Yeguo Mansion and climbed into the empty carriage, and then returned to the house with the prince.
Bai Ko even explained in the story why he didn't send the emperor back to the palace in the first time, and when he encountered such a strict incident, of course, he had to give priority to protecting the child, taking his wishes as the first choice, and the emperor and grandson who were too frightened did not dare to go out, so he naturally could not send him back to the palace.
As for why he didn't deliver the news in time to reassure the palace, Bai Ko still used Gong Zhenghui as a disguise, because the child was betrayed by a trusted subordinate, he didn't trust anyone, and ordered Ye Guogong to keep it secret as the emperor's grandson, so he didn't even know that he was in the mansion in the second and third rooms.
After reading it all, the eldest man flicked the paper, looked at his son and sighed.
"This Bai Ko is quite good at making up stories, but she didn't invite credit at all for making such a great contribution today? Leave yourself so clean? ”
"She said that it would be good for her to let those who should know about her merits, and outsiders would not give them a reward, so that they could know so many details and do something."
"Honest enough."
"Get paid for your work."
Gu Yun smiled, chatted with his father for a few more words, and then resigned.
The eldest lord took the two pieces of paper to show his wife, and discussed the unanimous statement to the outside world in the future.
After a while, the girl received the news from the little maid and passed the word to the door, and the eldest aunt came and was waiting in the outer study.
The eldest man took the two pieces of paper with him and hurried to his special study without delay.
This is about to close the door The eldest aunt came suddenly, and the big housekeeper waited for the little maid to serve tea, and then cautiously withdrew them, and he stood alone at the door.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law bothered late at night, I'm very sorry, it's really a big deal, and now there is a mess in the palace, so I'm here to borrow someone." Ye Hongbo, the eldest son of the Ye family, looked anxious, and when he saw his father-in-law enter the door, he spoke without waiting for anyone to sit down.
"Don't panic, sit down and talk slowly."
"Father-in-law, this matter can't calm down, our queen's grandson is lost! During the day, he took him to the temple fair at Qianle Fang, but the people disappeared, and three corpses and an empty carriage were found in a side alley, one of them was a small chamberlain who had been taking care of the emperor's grandson, and the other two seemed to be special abductors. Looking at the on-site analysis, I don't know if the chamberlain took the little emperor and grandson to play secretly, and encountered a kidnapper to tie someone up, the little chamberlain was killed, and the emperor and grandson disappeared. The four doors of Qianle Fang were closed in the afternoon, but the child has not been found so far, and it is very likely that he has already left Qianle Fang. Father-in-law, please borrow the palace guards to help us find the child back, such a cold day, his child is so young, what if there are three long and two short. ”
Ye Hongbo is still a little sensible, he knows that he has to speak with his voice suppressed, and he is anxious as he speaks, as a famous young Hanlin, he has always given people the impression of being steady and reserved, and his current appearance is really a rare gaffe.
"Hongbo, calm down, sit down and sit down, I'm dazzled by you."
"Father-in-law!" Ye Hongbo felt that his father-in-law's attitude was so strange, such a strict thing was not in a hurry, and he suddenly felt a little anxious in his heart.
"I'll tell you something."
"Father-in-law, please speak." Ye Hongbo took a deep breath and pressed the chaotic feelings.
"Today, our family Gu Yun and Gu Chen also went to the Yuanhe Palace temple fair."
"Oh...... Ay?! Ye Hongbo straightened his waist suddenly, and slowly took two steps forward in anticipation, "Do they know the whereabouts of the emperor and grandson?" ”
"Would you like to sit down and talk?"
"Sit, sit, sit, I'll sit!" Ye Hongbo's chaotic brain finally regained a little order, and his father-in-law's unusual composure had already explained it, and his face showed irrepressible ecstasy, "Child! Is the child in the house?! ”
"Hmph, I've been waiting for you all afternoon, who knew you were so late."
"Wronged, father-in-law, it was the palace that blocked the news at the beginning, and as soon as our family received the news, I rushed here immediately, without delay."
"Okay, look at your sweaty appearance, drink saliva and slow down, we have important things to do next."
Ye Hongbo finally put his butt firmly on the chair, picked up the teacup and drank it in one go, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his forehead.
The old man patiently waited for him to slow down, and then took out the two pieces of paper written by Bai Ko and gave him a good look.
Ye Hongbo carefully read the two versions of the story twice, and his feelings calmed down completely, and he became the wise young Hanlin on weekdays, and his mind began to spin in order to make reasonable use of this matter.
"This white coke really has a bit of guts."
"The descendants of the Bai family, don't disgrace the style, na, I will invite a merit for her, and I won't mention her name to the outside world, but the reward can't be less."
"It must be rewarded, it must be rewarded." Ye Hongbo patted his chest, and his heart that was worried about the safety of the child fell to the ground.
"Okay, jokes aside, let's get down to business."
"Father-in-law, please speak."
"Tonight, you will go as usual, and tomorrow you will ask your old lady to enter the palace early in the morning in the name of comforting the queen's mother, and we will also send a car to set off, find a secluded place to stop, transfer the child to your old lady's car, and take it directly into the palace."
"In such a quiet way?"
"Send it back with great fanfare? Do you want the people of the whole capital to know that someone intends to murder the emperor and grandson to fight the crown prince and expose the fact of palace infighting to the whole world? ”
"That's right, it's enough for civil and military officials to know about this kind of thing, and you don't have to let the people join in the fun."
Weng and his son-in-law reached an agreement and agreed on a place to hand over the children, and Ye Hongbo took the two pieces of paper to say goodbye and go home.
At this time, the doors of the capital were closed, and there was a tense atmosphere at the entrances of all streets, if it weren't for the fact that Ye Hongbo was the eldest son of Ye Guo's uncle's family, the officers and soldiers who patrolled the night would definitely detain him for the night.
Back at home, Ye Hongbo showed the story written by Bai Ko to his parents and wife, and everyone felt deeply relieved at the same time, they kept the story in their hearts and knew how to deal with various inquiries from relatives and friends in the future.
