Song Yinzi took the two little eunuchs in the palace to the "Tianxia Inn" to give Xiao Ding the gold and brocade rewarded by the emperor, as well as the key to the general's mansion.

After Xiao Ding accepted the gold and brocade, Song Yinzi offered to take Xiao Ding to his general's mansion and take him to recognize the door first.

Xiao Ding readily agreed.

So the two of them left the inn.

Xiao Ding rode a horse, and Song Yinzi sat in a car and walked together towards the house of Shang Shuhuan Yuanqing of the former military department.

Located in the north of the city, this mansion is not a prosperous area, but it is also a prime location, not too far from the palace, and for officials, this location is convenient for the upper and lower courts, and the entrance and exit of the imperial palace is excellent. And the location is a little out of the way, not as noisy as the downtown area.

Xiao Ding followed Song Yinzi to the door of the house, and saw that the plaque above the gate still had four big characters written on it: "Bingbu Huanfu".

He took out the key, opened the gate of the courtyard, and everyone came to the courtyard. Xiao Ding saw that this house covers a large area, three in and three out, east and west across the courtyard, guest room, subordinate room, firewood room, livestock room, etc., there are all kinds of rooms for various purposes.

Xiao Ding knew that in a place like the capital, where every inch of land was valuable, it was worth a lot of silver to have such a large mansion. The main thing is that even if you have the money, you may not be able to buy such a house!

The ground in the yard was covered with dead leaves, and there was still some remnant snow in the corner. When I looked at this house, I hadn't lived in it for a long time.

However, on the whole, Xiao Ding is still very satisfied with this house. It's just that he was thinking in his heart that although this mansion could be worth a lot of money, he couldn't live here! I still have to go back to Luoxia Village in the end, do I have to move my whole family to the capital to live?

Although it is convenient and leisurely to live in the capital, for Tian Dabao and his wife, who are accustomed to rural life, can they like to live here?

Moreover, even if they are willing to move over, Yongzhou is far away from Zhongzhou, and it is extremely inconvenient to move.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ding secretly slandered this dog emperor in his heart, and said in his heart, why don't you send me a set of houses in Luoxia County, it is close to home and it is convenient to move. Although the mansion in the capital is luxurious and magnificent, it is too far away from home, and it is impossible for me to come and live alone. Sending this house is no different from not sending it!

Song Yinzi didn't know what Xiao Ding was thinking at the moment, he was still on the side to help introduce it, "Brother Tian, tomorrow I will send someone to help you buy a few maids and servants, and let them help you clean this mansion well, and then you move over to live, you are not far from my mansion here, and it will be much more convenient for me to come and visit Brother Tian in the future." ”

Xiao Ding was absent-mindedly perfunctory.

"The plaque at the door, I'll ask someone to replace it for you tomorrow, and you need to replace it with the words 'Pingxi General's Mansion'." Song Yinzi was still chattering on the side.

Xiao Ding hummed and agreed, and suddenly remembered what happened last night, so he asked: "His Royal Highness King Mu, you said before that you and your men caught a few black-clothed people who attacked you last night, did you ask any important clues?" Who is it that the Lord has caused them to come against you? ”

"No, just like the man in black who was caught in the Big Buddha Temple last time, their bones are very hard, and they refuse to ask no matter how they ask, and then they used torture, so they all bit the poison hidden in their mouths in advance, and committed suicide by taking poison." Song Yinzi said helplessly.

"I see!" Xiao Ding muttered in a low voice. But in his mind, he was thinking, who would kill this King Mu?

Although he met this prince by chance, this King Mu is still very good to himself, he has no prince's frame at all, and he has always treated himself as a benefactor. Therefore, in Xiao Ding's heart, he didn't want Song Yinzi to have an accident.

However, now there are people who are calculating this prince behind his back, and there are no secret attacks again and again, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no repeated and fourth in the future. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, and it is easy to kill thieves and difficult to prevent thieves! Because you are in the open and he is in the dark, maybe he will come out and attack you at some point, and you can't guard against it at all.

So Xiao Ding was worried about His Royal Highness King Mu again.

If you can't find the mastermind behind the scenes, it will be difficult to eradicate hidden dangers.

Who is behind this? Xiao Ding muttered in his heart. Who would have a motive to kill the prince? Who has this King Mu offended?

Xiao Ding's mind was full of question marks, and he couldn't think of a reason, and suddenly, he remembered the TV series he watched in later generations. There are often scenes where the emperor's sons kill each other in order to compete for the position of crown prince. Could it be that this King Mu is the crown prince set up by the emperor?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ding opened his mouth to ask Song Yinzi and said, "His Royal Highness King Mu, dare to ask you if you are the crown prince?" ”

Song Yinzi was stunned for a moment when he heard Xiao Ding ask, and then said with a smile: "Brother Tian is really joking, I am only the twelfth among all the brothers, how can I be the prince?" My eldest brother Song Yinyuan is the crown prince set up by my father! ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, he secretly thought, he was not the prince, so why would anyone still plot against him?

It seems that the mastermind behind this scene is still very hidden, and he actually raised a group of unyielding dead soldiers, who would rather commit suicide by taking poison than betray the mastermind behind the scenes.

couldn't think of a result for a while, so Xiao Ding simply didn't think about it anymore.

Following Song Yinzi from yard to courtyard and room, I took a general look, and saw that many of the daily items in the room were still there, it seems that the military department Shangshu, when he returned to his hometown, did not take many items with him, and most of the daily necessities were left.

"Tomorrow, I'll send someone over to help you get rid of all the broken things in the house, and then help you buy new ones." Song Yinzi said habitually.

As soon as Xiao Ding saw Song Yinzi's expression, he knew that he had never done this kind of thing before. As a nobleman, he is used to being lavish. In fact, in Xiao Ding's opinion, many of the furniture and furnishings in the house are eighty or ninety percent new, and the things used before the military department are definitely not cheap products.

If these things are put in the village, the villagers will definitely rush to ask for them, how can there be any people who say that they will throw them away?

"I think those things can be taken and given to people in need, or taken away.

"Ah, it's still Brother Tian's thoughtfulness. Wonderful! So be it, those worthless daily necessities will be given to the street for free tomorrow, whoever wants to take them, and those things that are a little more valuable will be sold at a low price on the street, and you can also earn some silver. "Song Yinzi has always only spent money, and never thought about making money in the past. Xiao Ding's reminder, he suddenly felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Everyone watched the mansion on one side, and then left to say goodbye, Xiao Ding rode back to the inn, and Song Yinzi took the car back to the palace.

The next day, Song Yinzi really sent someone to help Xiao Ding clean up the house, and went to Renyazi to buy a lot of maids, servants, and housekeepers to come back. It was also arranged for these people who bought it back to clean up the house.

Many of the things in the house were moved to the side of the street outside the gate of the house, and then people were kept to sell and give away.

Nearby residents, hearing that the former Hengfu of the Ministry of Military Affairs has now become the Pingxi General's Mansion, also gave away daily necessities for free in front of the door, and sold some furniture cheaply, etc., all came to watch.

Soon, a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the house. When people come across something they need, they come forward and ask for it, or buy it at a low price.

There are also some older ladies who are more greedy and cheap, although there is no shortage of these things at home, but when they see things that are given away for free, they still can't help but come forward and ask to take them away.

Xiao Ding also came to the house today, Song Yinzi sent someone to help him clean up the house, he couldn't stop watching. It's your own from now on, so you'll have to have a snack.

He looked at these busy subordinates and the guards sent by Song Yinzi to help, and said in his heart, to be a man, you still have to strive for wealth and power, there can be no real equality in this world. The ordinary people who have no money, no power and no background are still the people at the bottom of society after all!

Xiao Ding was sighing there, he was on the rise, and suddenly became a nobleman in the circle of the aristocratic class, and later became a nobleman with an official residence and eating imperial grain, and suddenly a guard hurriedly threw it over and said: "Tell General Pingxi, we found some letters!" ”

Xiao Ding was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that what was so strange about finding a letter? I heard the guard continue: "Among those letters are a letter from the king of Jiaozhou to Heng Shangshu. ”

King of Jiaozhou? Xiao Ding was different, and secretly thought, the king of Jiaozhou wrote a letter to the military department, is there anything wrong with this?
