Chapter 185: The officers and soldiers of the search are coming
In the blink of an eye, the second day came.
Early in the morning, Zhong Xuanlan and his party were packing their luggage and wanted to leave for Ganzhou.
At this time, Wang Xiao hurriedly walked into the small courtyard and found Zhong Xuanlan in the hall.
Zhong Xuanlan saw Wang Xiao coming, "Wang Xiao went to prepare the carriage and set off after a stick of incense." β
Wang Xiao immediately reported: "Lord, I am afraid that we will not be able to leave the city today.
Governor Zhao has ordered the city to be closed, and has also sent officers and soldiers to search for thieves from house to house, or it won't be long before they are searched here. β
Zhong Xuanlan narrowed his eyes, and secretly scolded Wan Sanqi in his heart for being unreliable, didn't he say that the efficacy of the medicine would last for three days?
She knocked on the table and pondered, with a gleam in her eyes, and said with a curled lip: "Let our housekeeper ask for money and find something to do for Governor Zhao." β
Wang Xiao was a little puzzled why Zhong Xuanlan did this, but the rules were there, and it was impossible for him to cross the rules, so he commanded: "Yes." β
Zhong Xuanlan commanded: "Go and come back quickly." β
"Yes." Wang Xiao commanded.
After the people left, Wang Xuannian asked, "Won't Lan'er cause trouble by doing this?" β
Zhong Xuanlan sneered: "What I want is trouble, it's best to make trouble in the palace and let that person know." "This Li family's hand is too long.
Wang Xuannian glanced at Zhong Xuanlan's expression, and always felt that she was calculating people, thinking about half a salary, this Zhao prefect is said to be a member of the Li family, so she has to calculate the four princes.
Now the Li family has an in-law relationship with the side branch of the Zhong family, although the Zhong family has branched out last year, but in the eyes of everyone, there is only one Zhong family, can the Zhong family stand by and watch at that time?
Wang Xuannian said worriedly: "Lan'er, haven't we already taken a lot of gold, silver and jewelry from the Zhao family, or forget it this time, besides, we didn't lose anything!" β
Zhong Xuanlan looked at the big tree in the courtyard, his eyes were deep, and he said in a cold tone: "But others don't know, in the eyes of outsiders, the Zhong family has retreated, but there is no concession here for me, no matter who moves the Zhong family, I will make whoever pays." β
Hearing this, Wang Xuannian's heart was very complicated, his fear came back again, and at this moment he was very sure that Zhong Xuanlan would one day give up on him for everything in the Zhong family.
Wang Xuannian's eyes were full of indescribable looks when he looked at Zhong Xuanlan, at this moment he hated his origin, if he had started studying since he was a child, would he be able to catch up with Zhong Xuanlan at this time and protect her under his wing.
Zhong Xuanlan felt Wang Xuannian's burning gaze and turned his head to look at him.
At the same moment, Wang Xuannian was afraid that Zhong Xuanlan would find something wrong, lowered his eyes, did not look at him, and asked, "Lan'er, do you really want to do this?" β
"Hmm."
Wang Xuannian was disappointed in his heart, how he hoped that Zhong Xuanlan could give up, but she didn't.
There was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and then there was a knock on the door, "Bang Bang Bang ......"
Zhong Xuanlan glanced at the rickety courtyard door, coldness flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to get up to open the door, but was stopped by Wang Xuannian.
Wang Xuannian said: "I'll go!" With that, he got up and walked out.
Hearing the sound, Zhong Xuanlan knew that the officers and soldiers were coming, and he was afraid that Wang Xuannian would suffer a loss, so he also walked out, and saw Wan Shaohua walking towards the hall with Yang'er in his arms, his face was anxious.
"What's going on?" Wan Shaohua asked.
Zhong Xuanlan didn't want to say more, "Shaohua, you go to the hall with Yang'er and wait, no matter what happens, don't come out." β
Wan Shaohua glanced at Wang Xuannian worriedly, turned his head to look at Zhong Xuanlan and said, "Well, Master Zhong, be careful." β
Zhong Xuanlan nodded.
At this time, the door had been opened by Wang Xuannian.
When the officers and soldiers were about to enter the door, Zhong Xuanlan came to the door and stopped: "Slow, do you have a search warrant?" β
The young general led by Zhong Xuanlan saw that he was blocking him, his face was ugly, he looked at Zhong Xuanlan and found that she was dressed as an ordinary scholar, and she really didn't look like a big person.
The young general's face suddenly became more ugly when he looked at Zhong Xuanlan, and he said arrogantly: "The prefect ordered a search, and we are acting on orders, do we still need a search warrant?" β
When Zhong Xuanlan heard this, he didn't give an inch, and insisted on a search warrant, "As far as I know, a search warrant is required to enter the house for a search, otherwise I can stop you at the door." β
The young general felt that Zhong Xuanlan was very naΓ―ve, and threatened: "Haha, stinky boy, don't you know that in Lin City, Governor Zhao's Mansion is the biggest?"
If you dare to oppose him, are you impatient or are you thieves?
Get out of the way, I'll wait until the search is over, and if you're innocent, we'll leave.
If we stop you again, we will treat you as thieves and put you all in prison. β
Zhong Xuanlan sneered: "Really?
Although Lin Cheng is the largest in Governor Zhao's mansion, he is not alone in his decision.
If you don't have a search warrant, don't want to enter my house, otherwise, you will be regarded as people pretending to be officers and soldiers, and then you will be offended. β
"Hahaha...... Boy, Lao Tzu advises you to get out of the way quickly, let me search quickly, if you are really not afraid of death, then let you see how hard I waited. β
Zhong Xuanlan glanced at the dozen or so officers and soldiers, they all had some things on their bodies more or less, these should have been taken from the people's homes, if they were allowed to come in, wouldn't she want something less, and they might be exposed.
"Then try." Zhong Xuanlan said unhappily.
The two sides are tense, and a fight is about to begin.
Wang Xuannian hurriedly stepped forward and showed a token.
Zhong Xuanlan glanced at the token in surprise, it was the token of Yongcheng Palace, it seemed that she could go out of the city today.
When the young general saw the token, he was shocked, they were actually from the Yongcheng Palace, so what they did today would soon be known, and would something happen to the Zhao Governor's Mansion?
After hesitating again and again, the young general said: "Who knows if your token is real or fake?" β
Wang Xuannian said: "If you don't believe it, you can go to someone who is familiar with Yongcheng Wangfu to take a look." β
The young general saw that Wang Xuannian's expression was normal, with a calm look, and he was convinced of this token in his heart, and now he could only give up this family, Yongcheng Wangfu should not be offended, and besides, he had to go back to report to Zhao Zhifu quickly, otherwise if something happened, he would probably be implicated.
After thinking about it, the young general said sincerely: "The two sons, I offended a lot just now, I'll leave now and disturb the two." β
Wang Xuannian didn't want to have another incident, so he said kindly: "Everyone, go slowly." β
After the people left, Wang Xuannian closed the door, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he had palpitations about the fight just now, thanks to the token given to him by Shangguan Yao.
The two walked towards the hall, and Zhong Xuanlan asked, "When did Shangguan Yao give you the token?" β
Wang Xuannian was surprised in his heart how Zhong Xuanlan learned that it was the token given to him by Shangguan Yao.
But after thinking about it, he can also understand that in the palace of Yongcheng Wang, he is only friends with Shangguan Yao.
He explained: "On the day of the family recognition banquet, Ah Yao said that he was going back to Youzhou, and sent me a token so that I could go to Youzhou to find him. β
Zhong Xuanlan nodded, "We'll visit him when we go to Youzhou." β
Wang Xuannian thought that Shangguan Yao was his first friend, and this time he did them a great favor, he was very grateful to him, and he also hoped to go and see him, and he was very happy to hear Zhong Xuanlan say this.
"Okay!"
At this time, Zhong Xuanlan saw that Wang Xiao was back, and ordered: "Wang Xiao, you go and prepare the carriage, and in half an hour, we will set off." β
