In August, Fengjing was full of rumors.

Since the little prince and the little county lord of the Ming Wangfu escaped from the palace, the four gates of the capital have already laid out heavy troops, and strictly checked the entry and exit of people.

At that time, the people who were in a hurry to get out of the city quietly spent some money to dot it, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city dared to turn a blind eye when they checked it, but since the second son of King Ming left Beijing and made such a big move, Yang Haoyu was furious, and the officers in charge killed the pass, and the officials who replaced them did not dare to be careless.

In addition, the recent personnel of Du Yuanpu and his subordinates of the Ji family army caused a lot of turmoil, and the four gates were replaced with capable soldiers with clear eyes and careful hearts.

Near noon, a group of seven or eight people from Fengjing City came to the vicinity of the West Gate.

These people stopped at the base of the roadside wall, and they were still twenty or thirty feet away from the city gate, and they did not go forward, but looked at the city gate, as if they were waiting.

The soldiers patrolling the city saw them dressed up, guessed which powerful housekeeper was waiting for someone here, and asked in the past, sure enough, the leader was the housekeeper of the second horse Jiang Huahan's house, saying that it was the aunt of the second horse, and the Fang Jiang family, who married to the Fang family in Suzhou, returned to Beijing, and it was estimated that it would be there in a while.

Worried that his aunt's car would be blocked, the pony ordered them to come and greet him.

Speaking of the second concubine's aunt is very hard, not to mention marrying into the poor countryside in the northwest, the in-law's family is also imaginary, only the reputation of a family is left, the husband's health is not very good, and he died before he was forty years old, leaving her a son and a daughter.

The son has become a parent, and the daughter is older. It is not easy to find her in-laws if you stay in the northwest, so Fang Jiang planned to bring her baby daughter to Fengjing to marry in the name of visiting her brother.

The colt sent a butler to pick him up. To put it bluntly, I was afraid that my aunt's car would be shabby, and the soldiers who were interrogating at the city gate would judge people by their appearance and make it difficult and offensive.

At present, there are many powerful people in the capital who have suffered, Yang Haoyu knew that the horses had been very close to Li Chengcheng before, and he dared to touch his uncle King Ming, but he was very polite to his half-brothers-in-law.

There is no way, the three princesses are all born to Queen Tan. Yang Haoyu didn't have the confidence to tear his face with the Tan family at this time.

The second horse is also very knowledgeable, no matter whether it is a father-in-law or a cheap nephew sitting on the throne, he never participates in court politics. Just close the door and make my wife happy.

What is the status of Jiang Fuma, his aunt, the officers and soldiers guarding the city dare not give face.

About an hour later, Fang Jiang's car was late. There were five carriages in total. A housekeeper brought two housekeepers to follow the car, and the other dozen or so people were hired dart masters, coachmen, and the like.

The officers and soldiers in charge of the investigation first called the housekeeper over and questioned him.

The housekeeper introduced the entourage, and said that there was an old lady sitting in the front car, a lady and a maid in the back, and the last two cars were loaded with luggage and some souvenirs.

Before a few officers and soldiers could take a look at the curtain next to the car, the subordinates of the Horse Mansion greeted them, and the inspection ended in a hurry, and the officers and soldiers let the officers and men go to the open line.

The people of the Horse Mansion received Fang Jiang's family. did not send it to the Horse Mansion, and sent the group to Jiang Huahan's father's house.

Jiang Huahan's father had no official or knighthood. Living with my eldest son, the place where I live is a bit off-the-beaten, but the house is very large and quiet.

Waiting for Fang Jiang's party to settle down in the Jiang family's house, it was almost dark, the old lady withdrew from the others, and invited Wen Sheng, who was dressed as a maid next to her daughter, to come out, and said with a solemn expression: "Gu Leshi, the old man was entrusted by Cheng Guogong to take you into Fengjing, and I am fortunate not to be dishonored." After a while, when it gets dark, you change your clothes and leave through the side door with your people. ”

Wen Sheng bowed and said respectfully: "Thank you for the old lady's help." Your help will not be forgotten, and so will Wensheng. ”

That's what Fang Jiang wanted, he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and a kind smile appeared in his eyes: "The Jiang family's ability is limited, so they can only help you get here." If you're done with your business and want to go out of the city, you can come back to me again. ”

Wen Sheng thanked him, thinking that going out after dark would attract people's attention, and after explaining two sentences to Jiang Shi, he was about to leave.

Fang Jiang hesitated for a moment, and admonished: "Gu Leshi, it's not that the old body is worried about you, it's just that the few entourages you brought with you seem to be from the rivers and lakes, and I hope you can restrain them, in case anything goes wrong, don't implicate my Jiang family." ”

Wen Sheng agreed: "Old lady, please relax, Grandpa Guo has already confessed, a few people who came with me were caught by the Dongyi people, locked up in a dark place, devastated, and did not bend their knees to the enemy, I came to Fengjing to save people, I would rather die than betray my friends." ”

Following Wen Sheng into the city pretending to be a dart master was Li Junchi and a few of his friends.

Li Junchi had been locked up in a cave by Zhong Tianzheng before, and he was almost beaten into a waste, and Wen Sheng was not wrong to say so.

Fang Jiang was moved, took Wen Sheng's hand, and advised, "Be careful. ”

Wen Sheng said goodbye to Fang Jiang's family, changed into coarse cloth clothes, combed a woman's hair, pretended to go shopping on the street, and left Jiang's mansion with Li Junchi and a few others.

It's getting dark, and you need to find a place to stay so as not to arouse suspicion.

In this case, it is definitely not suitable to invest in a store for accommodation, but fortunately, Li Junchi has been prepared.

He was also a big man before he was rescued by Wen Sheng, and the Changwu Li family had a business in Beijing earlier, and then he was in a hurry to use the money to sell the shop, which was not sold by outsiders, but by the side branches of the Li family.

This distant relative is loyal and honest, just bent on trading, and doesn't know anything about Li Junchi's surrender to Li Chengyun, Li Junchi feels that he should have no problem with taking everyone to the door to borrow a few days.

Wen Sheng understood that this was an expedient measure, but there were men and women in the group, and the men were all big men, which made people suspicious at first glance.

She said to Li Junchi: "I don't need so many people to follow me, let's divide the soldiers into two ways, you take the two of them over first, and Lu Fen will follow me." ”

Li Junchi subconsciously wanted to object, Wen Sheng said: "We just came to Fengjing, we don't have a clue, the three of you will try to contact your own people tomorrow according to the roster given by Jingjie, inquire about Mr. Du's situation, and find a way to find out where he is now." If Mr. Du is still alive, he can't wait in the midst of difficulties, and I will think of another way. ”

Li Junchi knew that Wen Sheng's mind had been decided. Dissuasion is useless, so I have to respond.

The two sides made an appointment where to contact in the future, Li Junchi glanced at the kid named Lu Fen uneasily, and didn't understand why Miss Gu fell in love with him among the four people.

Lu Fen is young, his martial arts are not high, and he is not as comprehensive as others.

Look at that kid looking very excited at this moment.

Li Junchi couldn't help glaring at him.

Lu Fen's eyebrows danced. made a grimace, meaning: Haha, you all envy me for being able to follow Miss Gu.

Li Junchi was helpless. Seeing that the sky was already dark, he leaned over and whispered: "You protect Miss Gu, this is in Fengjing, she didn't bring a piano." In case something goes wrong. Your kid dies 10,000 times is not enough to make amends. ”

Only then did Lu Fen realize that he had a heavy responsibility, and he suddenly became nervous.

After Li Junchi finished explaining, he left with two helpers, leaving only Wen Sheng and Lu Fen.

Wen Sheng hadn't figured out where to start, so he was going to find a small restaurant with Lu Fen to settle the dinner first.

She watched Lu Fen look forward and backward as she walked, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't be nervous, don't listen to Brother Li, it's okay." Although I didn't bring a piano, I did bring a bamboo flute. Same. ”

In fact, it is not exactly the same, but this comfort is very effective, Lu Fen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and was relieved: "I'll just say, I'm scared to death, I'll die if I wait for this, if you lose a single hair, I will really die a hundred deaths." ”

After speaking, he asked curiously, "Miss Gu, why did you choose me?" ”

Wen Sheng asked rhetorically: "Isn't it good to choose you?" ”

"Okay. You didn't see their unwilling appearance, their eyes were red, haha, Miss Gu, you chose me because I have some strengths, I must know it in my heart so that I can carry it forward. ”

Wen Shengwaner: "Your strength is that you are younger than all of them." ”

Lu Fen was stunned when he heard this, so it was.

In this way, when others see a man and a woman together, they will subconsciously feel that this is a husband and wife, and they will not arouse suspicion.

Wen Sheng said with a bit of banter: "There is another point, that is, your surname is Lu." You are born with both of these strengths, so you don't need to carry them forward. ”

Lu Fen was a little embarrassed when he heard this, scratched his head, and said "hmm".

Wen Sheng shook his head in his heart, and secretly thought: "This young man is far less interesting than Thirteen. ”

The two of them found a wonton shop and went in and sat down.

Lu Fen was quite like that when he got serious, Li Junchi chose to bring him along, largely because Lu Fen's official words were good.

And Wen Sheng has been in Fengjing for several years, and his words and deeds do not show that he has just entered Beijing.

While eating dinner, she pondered the current situation in Fengjing.

The first step is to find out how many of Ji Jiajun's spies are still alive in Beijing, including Du Yuanpu, where the living people are being held and who is guarding them.

If you want to save people, I'm afraid that it won't work to rob the prison, and Yang Haoyu, Li Chengyun's relatives and friends in the court, have long known that these people are still too busy to take care of themselves, at most, they are like the Jiang family to help themselves cover up, and if they want to rescue a key criminal like Du Yuanpu, they are powerless even if they want to help.

If he went to find his friends, Yang Haoyu was afraid that he would never dream that he would enter Beijing, so he should not be prepared.

Wen Sheng thought about it for a while, and made up his mind, seeing that Lu Fen had two big bowls of wontons in his stomach, and he had almost eaten them, he motioned for him to settle the bill, and the two of them came out.

"It's getting dark, it's a bit far away, let's hire a car."

Lu Fen didn't ask where to go: "I see there is one in the backyard, let's ask the guy to send it, it's a big deal to give him more silver." ”

The place where Wen Sheng went was Xiashan Lane.

Xiashan Lane was also a gathering of powerful people many years ago, comparable to today's Yingtai Street, but then moved away, was confiscated, and many merchants and rich people lived in the alley, and the whole alley gradually declined, and what was left is no longer the scenery of the year.

When they arrived at the mouth of the alley, Wen Sheng got out of the car and sent the guy away.

She took Lu Fen to the alley, she had been away from Fengjing for so long, and the tea shops opened by Zhong Tianzheng were all empty, but this Xiashan Lane was still the same.

"Xiaoyao Hou" Yang Sui lives in this Xiashan Lane, and the innermost one is.

According to Yang Xuan's laziness, if he is not in Xuanyin Pavilion at this time, he is at home, and he will never go elsewhere.

Yang Xuan is a hereditary marquis and a musician of Xuanyin Pavilion, plus he has such a strange problem, Wen Sheng feels that even if Yang Haoyu knows that he has fought a team battle with his own team, at most, he should not arrest people and ask for guilt.

As for surveillance house arrest, he doesn't go out much in the first place, so why bother?

When Wen Sheng came to the gate of the Hou Mansion, he saw that the gate was closed, and two lanterns were hung on the door.

The lantern has long been lit up, the skin is so dirty that you can't see the color, and the pattern looks like a painting of Chang'e running to the moon, and I don't know if it was hung up on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 and never taken off.

She pouted at the two black lacquer gates, and motioned for Lu Fen to come forward and call the door.

Lu Fen knocked for a while, and there was an answer inside.

The deadbolt was pulled, and an old servant opened the door and poked his head out, asking suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?" The two of you knocked on the wrong door, we are here in the Changyi Marquis Mansion. ”

Lu Fen was taken aback, he didn't expect that this was still a Hou Mansion, and it didn't look like it at all from the outside.

He looked back at Wen Sheng, and the old servant blinked his dazed old eyes, and only then did he realize that there was a girl standing at the door by the faint light outside.

Wen Sheng really didn't know that Yang Sui's hereditary title was the Marquis of Changyi, but even if it was said to be the Hou Mansion, it would not be wrong, so he immediately smiled and said: "It's not wrong, please ask the old man to go in and report it, and say that there is an old man who wants to see the Marquis of Xiaoyao." ”

The old servant said "uh", no matter how their Hou Mansion declined, those who dared to call Hou Ye so to his face were not musicians, but also very familiar friends.

"Let's go into the courtyard and wait. Come in! ”

Hou Ye didn't care about anything, the servants in the front yard were not clean, the old lady couldn't control it, so she simply sold and hurried, and there were only a few old people left.

As for the rest, out of sight and out of mind.

Oh, how many years have passed, and it's the first time that a woman has come to the door at the door of Master Hou.

It's so rare.

Wen Sheng ignored the old servant's enthusiasm, stepped into the door, and asked casually, "Master Hou is at home?" Didn't you go to the pavilion? ”

The old servant said in a loud voice: "Yes, Master Hou hasn't been to the pavilion for a few days." ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad, not going to the pavilion meant that Yang Sui hadn't left the house for a few days.

Wen Sheng paused at his feet.

The old servant asked, "Girl, are you seeing the Hou Ye or the old lady, I don't know how to report to you?" ”

Wen Sheng hesitated for a moment and said: "Let's just say that I have listened to Hou Ye's drums in the future, and when I returned to Beijing today, I remembered Hou Ye's heroic posture on the same music stage, and I came to get together." ”

The old servant was confused, so he had to answer and go inside.

After stopping for half a cup of tea, the old servant dragged his feet, walked in a hurry, and said a few feet away: "My lord said, please!" ”

No wonder he was excited, God knows how long it had been since he heard the word "fast" pop out of Hou Ye's mouth. (To be continued.) )
