Chapter 361: Invitation (5K, Ask for Pink)
As soon as the words ended, there was a sound of kicking tables, chairs, and stools in the room.
A rough man came out in disheveled clothes, shouting loudly which turtle grandson was dying.
The frightened foreheads of the two thieves were cold, and they hurriedly pulled his eldest brother and said, "Big brother, I haven't got the money, let's steal chickens and rice, they are from the Wu'an Hou Mansion!" β
Manager Fu looked at the big brother with a smile.
Uncle Ming put his hand on the knife, and with a light touch, the knife came out of the sheath, and half of the eldest brother's hair was gone.
As soon as the wind blew, it suddenly rolled away.
Zhu Da's face turned white with fright, and his legs trembled.
"Point out who instructed you to kill, and I will spare your life," Uncle Ming said.
Uncle Ming, also known as Shen Ming.
He was the only secret guard left by Old Lady Shen.
Back then, the old lady was raided and fled alone, and with his enthusiasm, he helped Emperor Taizu fight the country, so that he had today's Wu'an Hou Mansion.
These secret guards, to put it bluntly, are not secret guards, they are all brothers of the old lady, born and died together, and most of them died on the battlefield with the old lady.
When the old lady died, Zhao Ming was also seriously injured, and it took several years to recover, and after the injury was healed, he has been helping the Hou Mansion train new secret guards.
Kyoto, the prince's family, probably only the shallow-based Wu'an Hou Mansion has no secret guards.
The Secret Guard, like those lone rare books with a long ink fragrance, is the heritage of a family.
A family without the protection of secret guards wants to be prosperous and glorious for a long time, it is really a fool's dream.
It is impossible for people to survive in this world without erecting enemies.
If there is an enemy, there is a threat to life.
What the secret guard has to do is to protect the safety of the master, secretly get rid of those potential or existing dangers for the master, and protect a family from standing.
Shen Ming came back today.
He entered the Hou Mansion three years ahead of schedule.
If it weren't for the Hou Mansion's successive accidents, Hou Ye sent him seven letters in a row, he would not have come back at all.
Hou Ye told him very clearly that if he didn't come back, after three years, there might not be a Hou Mansion.
Back then, he and Hou Ye high-fived as an oath.
Decade.
Give him ten years, and give Hou Ye ten years.
Hou Ye will make the Hou Mansion from a second-rate family with an unstable foundation, and he will bring back a secret guard that is enough to match a second-rate family.
Now, when he came back, he also brought back the secret guard who had been trained for seven years!
It's just that this secret guard hasn't lived up to his expectations.
Shen Ming is a person who pursues perfection and keeps his promises.
The reason why he came back, in addition to the trouble of the Hou Mansion, the urgent pleading of the Hou Mansion, and then the secret passage of the Hou Mansion.
The secret passage, dark and dark, is the best place to cultivate secret guards!
Today, Mr. Fu came out alone to extort silver taels.
In the woods, when he turned to go back, he saw Shen Ming.
The excitement at that moment is simply indescribable, almost tears.
In addition to seeing his brothers for many years, he also saw the future of the Hou Mansion, the real future.
It is not relying on the Xiao Guogong Mansion, nor relying on the prestige of the old lady Zhou to build a beautiful future, but in fact, it is very easy to crumble in the future.
Because once these reliance is lost, the Hou Mansion will fall into the abyss, and it will be difficult to get up.
To put it more simply, when the Hou Mansion encountered the enemy, it used to rely on the sword in the hands of others, but now it relies on its own sword.
Manager Fu wiped away his tears and said, "The Hou Mansion has been cowering for eight years, and he has also been steadily seeking progress for eight years. β
In the past eight years, the Hou Mansion has not dared to offend a family, and the Hou Ye has always put himself in a position where he can retreat and attack, and he must leave a way back for the Hou Mansion.
It can be said that An Rong's impulsive retreat was the first family offended by the Marquis of Wu'an.
Shen Anyun's family affairs offended the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and the Protector's Mansion.
Shen Anbei's family affairs offended King Zhuang's mansion.
Wu Anhou controlled himself, but he couldn't control his children.
Hou Ye has been in the court for so many years, and he has not set up an enemy, but Shen Anyun and the others have caused trouble to the Hou Mansion one after another.
Now, Shen Ming is back.
The sword in Hou Ye's hand is back.
What needs to be investigated, who to kill, no need to hesitate, no scruples, and there will be no more things like the third wife, who went outside to buy ruffians!
Today, let's take the Protector's Mansion!
Zhu Da was afraid of death, he knelt on the ground tremblingly, and told the eldest lady and the Duchess of Huguo conspired to kill Shen Anyun.
Originally, he didn't know any of these things.
They just take people's money and do things with people, and just kill people.
These days, they have been pretending to be beggars and strolling in front of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, just waiting for Shen Anyun to go out and be a good driver.
But a few days ago, the eldest lady died.
The Duchess of Huguo was a little scared, so she asked her mother-in-law to sue him, and the murder was canceled.
A few days ago, the mother-in-law came to sue him again, and the plan was as usual.
After killing someone by mistake, they tried to flee Kyoto, but they were blocked at the gate by the people of the Gokoku Mansion, and the Duchess Gokuni saw him and asked him to do as she instructed.
If it weren't for someone behind him, how could he come up with such a chain of clever tricks with a pig's head like him.
After Shen Ming heard this, he glanced at Manager Fu.
Manager Fu smiled, "If you don't come back, I will take him back to the Hou Mansion to find the Hou Ye, now that you are back, what else is there to scruple about?" β
It's also time for people to know that the Wu'an Hou Mansion is not something they want to bully and bully.
Half an hour later, Zhu Da was thrown by Uncle Ming in front of the gate of the Protector's Mansion.
Almost in a moment, in front of the gate of the Protector's Mansion, there were people watching the excitement on the third floor and the outer three floors.
Not only these people who watched the excitement, but also the officials of the Criminal Department.
It was that Ruan Shilang.
Shen Ming sent a secret guard to take the name of the Hou Ye and went to the Criminal Department to invite him to come to the Protector's Mansion to investigate the case.
Just in front of the Protector's Mansion, in front of everyone, Uncle Ming asked Zhu Da to explain things clearly.
At that time, the Duchess of Huguo's face was white, and she flatly denied it, saying that Zhu Da slandered people.
Uncle Ming looked at Ruan Shilang and said, "Zhu Da confessed that there is a Feng Pozi in the Protectorate Mansion, what Zhu Da said is true or false, you can ask Feng Pozi about it." β
Only officials have the right to search the mansion, which is why the Criminal Department is called.
Ruan Shilang wiped the sweat on his forehead, he still felt that the Hou Mansion of Wu'an was a little cowardly, but now it seems that people are bold.
This kind of thing, it should be settled in private, and it will be opened at the gate, how can there be any room for delay?
Since the Wu'an Hou Mansion has reported the case, this matter cannot but be investigated.
Ruan Shilang saluted the protector and said, "I'm sorry, I have to do it." β
The Protector of the State cannot be stopped, otherwise it will be an obstacle to official business, and it will make a group of people who are watching the excitement feel that the Protector Mansion is empty-hearted.
If you are open, why be afraid?
Ruan Shilang led the officers and soldiers into the Huguo Mansion to search, and after about a quarter of an hour, he found Mrs. Feng.
At that time, she was already scared of the six gods.
When she saw someone, she was killed by a headbutt.
Obviously, he committed suicide in fear of sin.
She didn't dare to admit it, she still had a son and daughter serving in the Protector's Mansion, she was already a dead end, she wanted the Protector's Mansion to spare her a pair of children for the sake of her loyalty.
It's a pity that Mrs. Feng's death confirmed the sin of the Duchess of the Protectorate.
Moreover, Mrs. Feng was brought out by the Protector Mansion, which can prove that she is a person from the Protector Mansion.
She went to find Zhu Da, and someone saw her all the way, and Ruan Shilang took Mrs. Feng and Zhu Da back to the Criminal Department.
Before leaving, Mr. Fu gave him a message, "There is Lord Lao Ruan." β
Ruan Shilang hurriedly said yes, and said with a smile, "This time, no one should say that the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion should not divorce his wife." β
is dead, and she is retired, and she can still cause trouble for the Hou Mansion, such a woman is really capable.
Pity the relatives of the Protector Mansion and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, not only will they not be able to get married, but they will also become feuds.
Besides, what happened in front of the Protector's Mansion had already been told to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
At that time, Mrs. Xuanping Hou was angry.
You don't have to think about the rest to know.
Shen Anyun was whitewashed, but she couldn't ignore the things she had to do in the carriage, and she was beaten by fifty boards, almost leaving only one breath.
These things were reported to the Marquis of Wu'an.
An Rong almost dropped her jaw in shock, and slapped her face repeatedly, she didn't believe it at all, it was her father who did it.
My father has always been very gentle, and sometimes he feels like cowardice, how can there be such a clean and neat time?
An Rong suspected that Xiao Lao Guogong or Xiao Zhan did it.
The old lady was also full of surprise and asked Qifu, "Is this really true?" β
Qifu nodded and said, "Grandpa asked me to sue you, saying, 'Shen Ming is back'." β
The old lady was first overjoyed, and then overjoyed, her hands holding the Buddha beads were trembling, and she was even more incoherent, "I'm back, I'm finally back." β
An Rong was frowning, is Shen Ming amazing?
In her previous life, she had also seen Shen Ming, in front of the old lady's mourning hall, Manager Fu led a man in, he was very old, and even his back was a little stiff.
He knelt on the ground and said, "All are dead, and not one is left." β
At that time, his blank eyes were shocking to those who saw it, and what was even more surprising was what he did.
"Shen Ming has a heavy trust, and he doesn't dare to live in the world," after saying this, he crashed to death in front of the old lady's mourning hall.
is such a person, but the old lady is excited like this, is there a mistake?
An Rong is not optimistic about Shen Ming.
However, Master Hou was able to solve Lin Xuan'er's death so cleanly, and An Rong was extremely satisfied.
However, soon, An Rong changed his opinion of Shen Ming.
She returned to Linglong Garden, and at the gate of the courtyard, she saw Zhao Cheng with a blue nose and a swollen face and dying.
That's not the point, the point is that there are still two dark guards standing next to him.
Zhao Cheng was lying on the ground, he really wanted to die directly, he said weakly, "Fourth girl, help." β
An Rong hurriedly walked over and asked, "Who beat you like this?" Failed assassination? β
No, if the assassination fails, how can it be skin trauma, and it should be dead, right?
Zhao Cheng burst into tears.
The assassination was successful.
When he returned to the Hou Mansion, he was beaten like this.
Is it wrong?
In the past, the Hou Mansion was coming and going, and there was no place where he couldn't go, who could sue him, why did the Hou Mansion suddenly have so many secret guard killers?
Zhao Cheng will be like this, it is completely an accident.
When he returned from his errands, he found that outside Linglong Garden, his territory had been occupied.
This paid off, Zhao Cheng felt that the secret guard must want to assassinate An Rong here, and decided to strike first.
Originally, Zhao Chengcheng saw a secret guard.
Definitely not his opponent.
But there was a long whistle.
Nima, almost after two moves, five dark guards came.
He was one against six, and then it was miserable.
If he hadn't made the first move and asked them what the purpose of coming to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion was, it was estimated that their lives would have been gone.
These secret guards don't believe that he is An Rong's person, standing here guarding him, if An Rong doesn't recognize him, then what awaits him is a life.
Hear what happened.
An Rong just had an expression.
Embarrassment.
There are still secret guards in the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and they are so powerful, no, she has to go to her father to ask for a few.
An Rong turned his head and left.
Behind him, Zhao Cheng, "......." β
Fourth girl, you can't be like this, you can say two good words, there are ants on the ground, they will bite.
Zhao Cheng turned his head to look at Shen Yuan and Shen Gao, and said with a smile, "You also heard it, the fourth girl cares about me very much." β
"I don't see it," Shen Gao said coldly.
Shen Yuan said, "It seems that the fourth girl cares more about us." β
When the eyes of the four girls glanced over them, their eyes were full of excitement.
Zhao Cheng, his heart is cold.
Besides, An Rong carried her skirt all the way to the study in the outer courtyard.
The door was banged.
"Father, An Rong has something to do with you," An Rong couldn't contain his excitement.
"Come in."
After getting the permission of the Hou Ye, An Rong pushed the door in.
Walking to the desk, An Rong got straight to the point.
"Father, is there a secret guard in the Hou Mansion?" An Rong's eyes lit up.
Hou Ye raised his eyebrows and nodded, "It's always been, but I just went back home today, what's wrong?" β
An Rong blurted out, "I want a few secret guards." β
An Rong said it reasonably, almost like saying, Father, I'm short of money, you give me a few taels, it's so easy and casual.
But the corners of Hou Ye's mouth twitched slightly, "Isn't there Xiao Zhan's secret guard, not enough?" β
An Rong's cheeks instantly turned red, and she suddenly missed the days when there was no secret guard in the Hou Mansion, at least what did she do, hide it from her father.
"That's different, the dark guard is not my own, it's awkward, and it's not as comfortable as my own," An Rong pouted.
even walked over, took Hou Ye's hand, and sprinkled Jiao for the first time, "Father, just give me a few, I don't want more, just four." β
Hou Ye shook his head, "Not one." β
An Rong immediately pouted angrily, and looked at him directly with a stingy look that blamed Hou Ye.
An Rong has made up her mind, if Hou Ye doesn't give it, she will stay here and not leave.
Hou Ye took out a post from the drawer, handed it to An Rong and said, "Take a look for yourself, this is the invitation sent by Xiao Laoguo to his father today, he picked two days, and his father thinks that either one is okay, you see which one to choose." β
Hou Ye's attitude is very clear.
Next, what An Rong has to do is to get married.
It is to prepare for the wedding and embroider the wedding dress.
He will deal with other matters in the Hou Mansion.
An Rong was ashamed and annoyed, but his attitude was also clear.
She's just going to be a secret guard.
If she doesn't give the secret guard, she won't embroider the wedding dress.
The father and daughter are at a stalemate.
In the end, the Hou Ye compromised, "It's not that I don't give it to my father, but the secret guards of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an can't enter the Mansion of Xiao Guo, and I can't take it away if I give it to you." β
That is, Hou Ye can give An Rong four secret guards, but they can only be used in the Hou Mansion, and they must be returned when he gets married.
"Why?" An Rong doesn't believe it, she is not a three-year-old hairy child, so easy to fool.
She also wants to bring a dowry, okay, is she going to marry Xiao Zhan alone?
But what Hou Ye said is true.
There are many secrets in Xiao Guogong's mansion, Xiao Laoguo trusts An Rong, and also trusts those subordinates who are powerless, but he doesn't believe in the secret guards cultivated by Wu'anhou Mansion.
Hou Ye told SΓΉ Anrong that by tomorrow at the latest, Xiao Lao Guogong would send her a secret guard.
She can use those secret guards with peace of mind without any scruples.
"I want to use my own," An Rong pouted, holding an ink stick in his hand and stirring it for a while.
Hou Ye smiled back, "Before getting married, the Hou Mansion of Wu'an was your home, and after getting married, the place where Xiao Zhan is your home." β
An Rong went away in an instant.
"Father, you are definitely the most angry person An Rong has ever seen, and a few secret guards are reluctant," An Rongjiao snorted, "If you don't give it, you won't give it, I'll raise it myself." β
An Rong left angrily.
Before leaving, he lost his temper and threw down the ink stick in his hand.
Two drops of ink shook off the placket of the marquis's clothes.
Hou Ye looked at the ink on the placket and slowly melted away.
His eyes turned from mild to condensed.
Because, after An Rong left the study, he pushed open the door again and said, "Father, it was the people of the Shen family in Qizhou who injured the prince of Zhuang Wang, and they not only had dealings with the second uncle, but now they seem to be in contact with the fourth uncle." β
Originally, today was the day when the fourth master left Beijing to take office.
But he didn't go.
If An Rong didn't guess wrong, the fourth master should still be struggling to stay in Beijing.
Father has a secret guard, and everything he should know in the future will know.
But before, An Rongchai was not necessarily, so he sued him very directly, so as not to take a detour.
Who called her someone who had no secret guard to call?
In the past, she didn't dare to sue Hou Ye, because she was afraid that he would hit the stone with an egg when he couldn't even protect herself.
Now, with the Dark Guard guarding, what else is she worried about?
An Rong looked at the clouds in the sky, leisurely.
She was smiling, wryly.
Not only is she worried, but she is even more worried than before.
An Rong didn't expect that the Hou Mansion still hid such a secret guard, and in his previous life, he was wiped out before he could open the blade.
Only Shen Ming was left to kill, and his martial arts were abolished.
Such an enemy, An Rong was terrified.
In the previous life, who would have destroyed this secret guard?
An Rong wandered until a fair, emaciated hand shook in front of her.
An Rong came back to his senses and looked at the peony.
Peony raised the big red post in her hand, and smiled toothlessly, "The girl didn't speak before, but the Hou Ye made the decision, crossed out the twenty-two, and the girl wants to marry sixteen." β
An Rong's face was instantly like a peony blooming, gorgeous and charming.
Peony is twisting her eyebrows.
In less than a month, nothing was prepared.
If you want to marry beautifully, you will be tired of becoming a dog.
PS: Do you want a third update?
Pink two hundred and five, plus more ......
That's impossible, to two hundred and fifty-one, O(β©_β©)O haha~R1152
