The four gates of the capital are closed, and all major intersections are guarded by bad officials, and the city defense department begins to investigate door by door, the capital has been shrouded in a gloomy fog in the past few days, and the dark cloud guard has taken the opportunity to rise, and Lord Lu Yu Lu has begun to find some ministers to drink tea and talk again, and even Li Mingwei is among the invited, Li Mingwei returned home with a black face, and did not say a word, only restraining his family from going to the street.

The darkness will not be too long, the sky will always be bright, when the morning glow dyes the sky red, Niuwei Hutong is still a dead silence, the sound of the bow and crossbow sounded that night, after a few terrible shouts, the street is a dead silence, only the sound of chickens and dogs barking brings a little life, the alley is tightly sealed, except for the birds in the sky and the rats under the ground, it is really not even a wild cat can not run out, there are dark cloud guards on both sides guarded by men and horses.

It's been three days, it's a bad official and a dark cloud guard, come and go, the children began to cry, the people who live in Niuwei Hutong finally can't hold their breath, carefully push open the door and look out, and their hearts are restless, those who can live in this area are people with some status, many officials of the imperial court also live here, the people of Dark Yunwei refuse to give any affection, and the search is extremely strict, and on the fourth day, the people of Dark Yunwei finally withdrew, and the people living in the alley are also trying to come out, Greet cautiously, and then go to the mouth of the alley, there are more than a dozen families, all have high gatehouses, the road surface is more spacious, here and Niuwei are not far away, because there is a Taoist temple here, it is jokingly called Niubi Hutong.

A blue-robed young man came out of the alley and wandered towards a nearby tavern, and when the shopkeeper saw him coming, he greeted him with a smile, "Young Master Han, are you here?" Unfortunately, there is no place here, do you see who you are squeezing in with or coming back another day? ”

This Young Master Han scolded with a smile, "If there is any wine, hurry up and bring it to the master, today I am so hungry that I will stick to the back of the mouth, so I don't limit what seat I have." ”

Two brocade-clothed young men came out of it while speaking, the first one was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, followed by a teenage young master, Young Master Han looked away slightly, and heard the young man shouting loudly, "Little two settle the bill." Xiao Er hurriedly came over to settle the bill, and the young man threw down a silver ingot and waved his hand generously, "No need to look for it." "Turn around and go out.

The little boy next to him had a pair of big black and white eyes, and when he saw Young Master Han at a glance, he seemed to be slightly stunned, and his companion urged him to leave quickly, "Brother Shen, we should go back." ”

Brother Shen walked to the door and hurriedly came back, grabbed the shopkeeper and asked, "Where did the young master in the blue robe sit at just now?" ”

"The guest officer is talking about Young Master Han? He's right by the window. Xiao Er said and stretched out his finger, turned around and beckoned the other guests.

Brother Shen smiled, "Brother Zhang Bao, that's a friend I used to know, I have to go over and say hello, thank you Brother Zhang Bao for accompanying me today." ”

Zhang Bao complained with a face, "Brother Shen, you are really not interesting, you are going to leave me and ignore me again, let's talk about having a good day." He suddenly woke up again, "Brother Shen, you lied to me, if that person knew you, why did he turn around and leave just now?" ”

Brother Shen ignored him, turned around and looked for it, and saw the blue-robed young man and five or six people crowded at a table, talking and greeting the people around him while eating, and the people around him looked very familiar, Brother Shen walked over and smiled, "I'll sit at this table, Xiao Er will add me a chair." ”

Young Master Han didn't expect Brother Shen to come over, his eyes met unexpectedly, Brother Shen smiled and bent his eyes, looking at him playfully, Young Master Han was a little surprised, and smiled indifferently, so he heard Brother Shen smile and said, "You are Donglang?" I saw you as a child. ”

Young Master Han was a little surprised this time, "Do you remember me?" How old were you that year? ”

Brother Shen sat aside familiarly, "I saw you just now and felt familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, I remembered, Brother Donglang, you are not interesting enough, and you don't even say hello when you see me." ”

Zhang Bao stood aside, "Brother Shen, you are not interesting enough, what are you doing when you see your friend leaving me." ”

Young Master Han laughed when he heard this, "This young master is a friend of Gongzi?" If you don't dislike it, squeeze around this table. He shouted at the shopkeeper again, "Little brother, add two more chairs." He hugged his fists with a few guests at the same table, "This little brother is an acquaintance I knew before, and it is convenient for the old ones, so let's squeeze it first." ”

Chong Zhang Bao hugged his fist, "My surname is Han, what do you call this young master?" ”

Zhang Bao smiled, "What kind of master is not a master, you can call me Zhang Bao, today I easily made an appointment with Brother Shen, I don't want him to run away so soon." ”

Zhang Bao said as he picked up a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick cage and grabbed the vegetables from Brother Shen'er, "Fortunately, Brother Donglang is not an outsider, just like your eating appearance, you really can't starve you anywhere, didn't you just finish eating?" Aren't you afraid of dying? ”

Zhang Bao stretched out his hand and scratched his head and smiled innocently, burping while burping, "Didn't I see the food?" ”

The guests at this table all laughed, and they all seemed to be familiar with Donglang, and a man in his thirties looked at Brother Shen and asked, "Whose child are you?" This street is in chaos, children are still running this way, you should go home early, it's not good to meet bad people. ”

Brother Shen looked at him and smiled sweetly, then looked at Dong Lang and smiled, "Brother Dong Lang, you live here?" What happened here the day before yesterday? I saw that the men of the Darkcloud Guard had just withdrawn. ”

The scribe-looking man next to him smiled, "You kid is really bold, you dare to inquire about this?" While looking at Brother Shen, Brother Shen saw that Donglang was a little uncomfortable, and he thought in his heart, I heard that there was a secret agent in Dark Cloud Guard, could this person be a secret agent of Dark Cloud Guard?

Thinking like this, he smiled, and whispered mysteriously, "Uncle, you don't know, it's really related to my sister's family, uncle, do you know what happened that day?" I've heard that Ying Guogong has met an assassin here? ”

The middle-aged scribe became interested, "Your sister's house?" What is the relationship with Ying Guogong? ”

Brother Shen rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "My sister works on an errand at their house, and my brother-in-law also lives in their house. ”

Dong Lang hurriedly smiled, "Lao Cai, you don't know, don't look at his young age, he is not an ordinary character, you have also heard of him, he is the son of Anguo Houfu, the one who can be the master of his own house at a young age, his sister is now the young lady of Yingguo Mansion, and I am also because of his noble status, I was embarrassed to meet just now, but it seems that I have climbed high." ”

Brother Shen smiled when he heard it, "Brother Donglang, I saw you when I was a child, and we played with spinning tops together, I was also anxious in the past two days, and I wanted to inquire about the news, so I wandered around the restaurant, I really said everything, my mother was very anxious, and I was afraid that my brother-in-law would have some accidents." ”

The surnamed Cai narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I really don't know Taishan, it turned out to be the son of Anguo Houfu, but I just went out to inquire about the news and was also a descendant of your family, why is it you?" ”

Brother Shen smiled, "My father didn't let me investigate, and my mother secretly sent out a few batches, all of which were useless, and I also wanted to show my face in front of my mother, so I ran to the restaurant to listen to the news, and my uncle also lives here?" What do you hear? ”

"You're really asking the right person, I know a little bit of news." The surnamed Cai lowered his voice and smiled mysteriously.

Brother Shen hurriedly asked, "What did the uncle hear?" ”

Uncle Cai smiled and didn't answer, Brother Shen thought about it and lowered his head to touch it, reached out and took out Zhang Bao's purse, took out a dozen taels of loose silver, and stuffed it all over, "Uncle Cai, don't be too little, keep these to buy wine and drink." Zhang Bao looked at him with complaining little eyes, and Brother Shen'er's eyes were shining, "What does the uncle know?" ”

This Uncle Cai took the silver with a smile, glanced at Zhang Bao, stretched out his hand and put it in his arms, and lowered his voice, "Ying Guogong was seriously injured, and his second son was hanging." ”

Brother Shen was startled and hurriedly asked, "What about my brother-in-law?" I mean the descendants of their family. ”

Uncle Cai showed a hesitant look, and as soon as Brother Shen turned around, he also pulled off the jade pendant on Zhang Bao's body and stuffed it into his hand, "Uncle, what else do you know?" You talk to me slowly. ”

Uncle Cai looked at the jade pendant and smiled, this one can be worth a hundred taels of silver when it is sold, glanced at Zhang Bao, and saw that this kid was almost about to cry, and he didn't dare to offend Brother Shen, Uncle Cai smiled and put the jade pendant in his sleeve, "The prince is fine, but-" The voice dragged on in a long voice.

I saw Brother Shen glaring at him angrily, "No, not this time." ”

Uncle Cai smiled, "There are a lot of people here, let's go somewhere else?" It just so happened that Young Master Han's family lived here. ”

Dong Lang scolded with a smile when he heard this, "Lao Cai, you are bored and rich, and you still want me to invite you?" Saying that, he stood up and let out, "My house is not far in front, and the prince will give him a face?" ”

A few people walked forward with a smile, and a few of Brother Shen'er's little servants came over, and Zhang Shun hurriedly asked, "Son-in-law still hasn't gone back?" ”

Brother Shen smiled, "Isn't there a tea shed over there?" You can go over and have a pot, and I've met a friend. ”

The copper hammer sighed bitterly, Zhang Shun looked at the two people in front of him, they didn't know each other, and said with some worry, "Childe, I really can't delay any longer today, if the old lady knows, she should punish the small one." ”

only said that the old lady did not talk about the Hou Ye, this is also where Zhang Shun is fine.

Brother Shen ignored him and only talked to Donglang, "Brother Donglang, I went to Zhang Dutong's house later, why didn't I meet you again?" ”

As he spoke, he arrived at Niubi Hutong, and a layer of loess was laid on the ground, covering up the sins of that day, Zhang Bao shivered, and he didn't dare to go forward, Brother Shen smiled, "Brother Zhang Bao, why don't you go home first?" I'll come back to you someday. ”

Zhang Bao shook his head again and again, and finally came in, "Brother Shen, you said that you will play with me for a day, but it has only been less than half a day." ”

A little maid in Donglang's house made tea, and Donglang smiled and said to Zhang Bao, "Does my brother like cockfighting?" I have a big general in my yard, it's very powerful, you come with me to take a look. So he took Zhang Bao away.

Uncle Cai said with a smile, "Young Master Han is clever, and that friend of the Son-in-law is very blind." ”

Brother Shen smiled and said, "He has no eyes, as long as he has silver in his pocket." ”

Uncle Cai laughed, and said in a slightly lower voice, "There is an accident in the Yingguo Mansion, I don't know much, I am on an errand in Dark Cloud Guard, and I know a little bit." ”

Seeing Brother Shen'er showing interest, Uncle Cai lowered his voice, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't have said it outside, and the prince will know sooner or later." ”

Brother Shen hurriedly smiled, "Uncle, I won't say what you said, we don't know each other, you helped me with this, and I also remember Uncle as a friend." ”

Uncle Cai saw that Brother Shen was young and spoke well, no wonder he could be the master of his own house at such a young age, Dark Yunwei is the one who supervises hundreds of officials, and Brother Shen'er's identity is also among the supervision, Uncle Cai's ability is low, and he is nothing in Dark Yunwei, but I heard a little gossip.

"There was a death in their family, I heard that four mothers-in-law died, and Lord Lu took someone over in the middle of the night, and I also heard later that Lord Lu invited the prince to our headquarters for tea, and then somehow someone came to the palace, and the prince was leaving, and Lord Lu came back and returned Yan Liu's mouth." and mysteriously told Brother Shen, "Our Lord Lu saw that the young lady of their family was beautiful, it was your sister, right?" I liked it in my heart, so I deliberately tossed the stammer. ”

……

Brother Shen'er's heart flickered, there was a death in Ying Guogong's house, the second sister was busy returning to the door for three days and didn't come back, what did she have to do with a new bride, could it be that there was an accident in his family at that time? It seems that the water in the Yingguo Mansion is very deep, and Brother Shen listened to Uncle Cai for a long time, solemnly thanked him, and said goodbye to Donglang. R1152
