Chapter 193
"How can this make you even less likely to go out if the situation is not right outside?" Zhao pulled Jiang Yan to her side, pressed her shoulder and asked her to sit down, and said, "It's so late, what are you going to do with your little daughter-in-law, everything is there for their grandfather." He gave Huo Dazhuan a look, "You go and take a look and discuss what to do." ”
Huo Yiyi said worriedly: "But now the situation is complicated, since the fugitive is quickly tracked down to our mansion, and seeing the person enter the mansion, wouldn't it be dangerous if this person is not caught?" What's more, the relationship between the eldest brother and the local officials still has to be maintained, those people naturally won't come on their own terms, they must always listen to Shangfeng's instructions, if we don't let them search, they will offend people, and they will be accused of harboring criminals. ”
"Even if you can say these things, you also think that these catches are unusual." Jiang Wei's cold eyes swept to the bead curtain in front of the door that was shaken by the wind, and sneered: "It's still two to say whether there are fugitives now, I'm afraid that those who shout to catch thieves are really thieves." ”
When Zhao and Tang heard this, they both shuddered.
Huo Twenty-one and Huo Dashuan's expressions were very solemn. They all knew that before Huo 19 went out, he specially left more than 20 people from the elite of the 3,000 battalions, and took turns guarding them with the original guard of the Hou Mansion and Huo 19's guards, and its sentry was carefully arranged by Huo 19.
Jiang Yu was stopped by the Zhao family, and now she is a little calmer. I thought about it for a moment. He said, "Mother." You stay in the house first, take care of the seven catties for me, and I will go outside with my father and Ah Ming to discuss what to do. ”
As long as Jiang Yu does not stand out alone, and acting in consultation with them can ensure safety, the Zhao family and the Tang family will not stop much. After all, Huo Shijiu is not at home now, Jiang Wei is the wife of the Marquis of Jinning, and she is the emperor's own decree of super first-class products, and those arresters and local officials will also consider one or two if they want to act well.
Jiang Wei asked the nurse to bring the seven catties. handed over to the Zhao family and the Tang family to take care of, and instructed Jiang Yan and Huo Chu to stay in the house with the maids and not to go out and move around at will, so they came to the main house of the first entry in the upper room with Huo Daxuan and Huo Yiyi.
The subordinate brought the candlestick with his hands and feet. The original blue scenery in the house is illuminated, so that people can see, and the anxiety in the heart seems to be washed away by the light.
Huo Dazhuan said: "Girl, are you saying that we shouldn't go to see those catchers?" You can't go if you don't go. ”
"To go is to go." Huo Yi said, "It's just that you have to ask carefully about the situation first." Why don't I go and see those catchers first, so that people don't think it's rude, my father and sister-in-law will find the guards here and ask them carefully? ”
"It doesn't have to be this way." Jiang Wei stood up. tightened the pink jacket on his shoulders and said, "Let's Hou Mansion." It's Huo Ying's house again, even if it's common to be indifferent to those who catch fast, is there still someone who will accuse us, right? Amin didn't have to go first, it would be too dangerous. ”
Jiang Yan said that she had arrived at the bottom of the porch, lifted the curtain and said, "Go and call the guards." ”
Listening to the rain, he hurried away.
After a while, two men came side by side, went up to the Danqi, and saluted the house through the beaded curtain under the porch: "The little one sees the old lady, the lady, and the second master." ”
"No formality, please come in and talk back." Jiang Yu didn't wait for Huo Dazhuan and Huo Twenty to speak, and she had already answered first.
The people outside and the rough subordinates were not allowed to enter the house to talk back and forth, and Jiang Wei treated them so politely, one was because she did not have such a deep-rooted concept of hierarchy, and the other was because one of these two people was a dead soldier of Huo Nineteen, and the other was a captain in the 3,000 battalion. The former followed Huo Shijiu from birth to death, and the latter was a person with military rank, but he was left at the behest of Jiao Zhongyi, and he was called a guard to the outside world, but he couldn't treat others badly.
Jiang Yu ordered someone to serve tea, and the two had already entered the house, and once again saluted Huo Dashuo, Huo Twenty-one, and Jiang Yu.
sat down separately, the maid served tea, and Jiang Yan went straight in: "Said that a fugitive came in?" You are guarding the safety of the Hou Mansion, you should know if anyone has come in, right? ”
"Mrs. Hui, none of the brothers led by my subordinates found anyone coming in."
"Humble duties can also be determined. No one came at all. The lieutenant spoke slowly, but what he said was very thought-provoking, "Madam, I feel that something is wrong. Well, why can we be sure that no one has entered the house, but they have said that they saw the fugitives climb over the wall and enter the house? They want to search, and if we don't let them search, it may cause friction between Hou Ye and local officials. ”
Huo Dazhuan clicked on the cigarette pouch and said, "Are you sure you're right?" ”
"Old lady, we are not mistaken. If there were, the fugitive must be a top master. ”
That's what Jiang Wei was worried about.
She pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, you will quickly mobilize all the people of the Hou Mansion to Rongdezhai to gather." The Hou Mansion is too big, and it may be easy to hide individuals, but in Rongde Zhai, our people are gathered, so it is not easy for people to mix in. ”
Huo Twenty said when he heard this: "Sister-in-law is good like this, but those people outside ......"
"If we really have a heart, we won't be able to manage so much."
The two men stood up at the same time and said yes.
Jiang Yu thought about it for a while, then set up a teapot on the table, dipped her fingers in the tea and drew the general situation of Rong Dezhai and the location where it should be armed. Both of them listened attentively, and when they finally arranged to leave, they both had a look of admiration on their faces.
Huo Dazhuan saw that the people were walking away, so he asked: "Girl, since it's okay inside, let's go to the door to meet those catchers." ”
"No, it's too dangerous in front of the door. Dad and Ah Ming are not proficient in martial arts, and it is not good to go, so I will take a few guards to the front to have a look. Jiang Yu stood up as she spoke, took off her little jacket and handed it to Tingyu to hold, wearing only a smoky purple placket collar jacket, and stroked the dagger tied to her right leg, making sure that there was nothing cumbersome, so she called Tingyu to go out.
Huo Dazhuo was relieved, and hurriedly stopped: "Girl, it's not appropriate for you to go like this, your body is not good yet." ”
"Dad, I'm fine, and I'm not going to fight, but for safety reasons, you and Ah Ming must go back to Rongdezhai first." Jiang Yu knew Huo Dazhuan's temperament, and was afraid that he and Huo Twenty would not be at ease to follow, so she called two more guards: "You follow, escort the old lady and the second master back." ”
No longer giving Huo Dazhuan and Huo Twenty time to distinguish between them, Jiang Yu had already taken Tingyu to the front.
Due to the hurry, the lantern and candle in his hand were blown out by the wind, and the dark sky and the shadows cast by the branches of the trees on the way on the bluestone floor tiles made the atmosphere more and more strange.
Tingyu said nervously: "Madam, do you want to arrange a few more people to follow you?" ”
"No, too many people are a burden to us. Besides, I'm just taking precautions, and the situation wasn't that complicated in the first place. A-Ying is not at home, and I would rather make a big fuss than put them in danger. Otherwise, where will I have the face to see your lord. ”
Tingyu smiled and said: "Madame's heart for Hou Ye can be learned. ”
When he arrived at the gate, he heard a commotion in front of the door.
"I've been here for so long, when I waited for the cold wind to blow at the door of the Hou Mansion without being full, I wasn't allowed to enter, like a word!"
"A few people are angry, someone has already gone in to spread the word."
"No matter how big the Hou Mansion is, it's just a word, and people should come back when they crawl back and forth!"
……
Menzi and the nursing home didn't know how to stop it, but they heard a soft and lazy female voice: "If it's a boy, it's fast to crawl and walk, but it's a pity that I have to come and see it for myself." walked slowly, and hoped for a few forgiveness. ”
First, a handmaiden with a very beautiful face went out with a lantern. I saw that she had a slender willow waist, a light gait, a beautiful face, and fair skin, so the hearts of several people skipped a few beats.
Then a slender woman wearing a smoky purple gown walked out slowly wearing a white gauze hat.
Before she had time to appreciate the skirt and slender waist when she walked, she had already spoken: "Since it is a person in the yamen, if you want to chase the fugitive, it is not impossible to enter the Hou Mansion." ”
"Ma'am." The people all bowed.
About twelve or thirteen people came to catch it, and they looked at each other when they heard the words. The first person smiled and said, "This is Mrs. Jinninghou?" It's really knowledgeable. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand to bring someone in.
Jiang Yan stopped in front of the door and said with a smile: "Slow." Since you are coming to search the Hou Mansion, there must always be an official document from above that allows the search, right? What about search warrants? ”
"Since we are chasing the fugitives here, and we are in a hurry to worry that the fugitives will intrude on the peace of the Hou Mansion, where do we have the time to ask for an order? Since Madame has said this, when we have captured the fugitive, I will send you the order when we turn around. Don't you know, that fugitive is a Jiangyang thief, specializing in those murderous and skin-picking deeds, and he is still a master who wants to see the color. If he saw his wife's good appearance, wouldn't it be dangerous? ”
Listening to the rain and listening to this person's words, he felt a little out of tune. No matter how you listen to it, you can feel that there is a sense of ridicule in this person's words.
Before she could speak, Jiang Yu had already interrupted her by waving her hand first, and said, "Thank you for your concern." But without paperwork, I won't let you in. ”
More than a dozen arresters had been waiting in front of the mansion for a long time, and when they were stopped by Jiang Yu, they all lost their patience, and scolded gossiping: "We are also for the safety of the Hou Mansion!" Could it be that the big night is here to eat behind closed doors! ”
"If it weren't for the sake of the Marquis of Jinning, you would be willing to come!"
"Ladies and daughters, don't delay the big thing because of a little short-sightedness, if something really happens, are you responsible!" (To be continued......)
