Chapter 423: Naughty Wushuang
"Lord Wang, I didn't find anything useful, and even if it was a big ...... Mo Xiu's personal servant didn't know what Mo Xiu had done. ”
The person who came to carry out this mission was the leader of the first team of the Praetorian Guard, named Xiong Xin, who felt like a tall man when he heard the name, but the real person was still a handsome middle-aged man.
Zhan Ge bowed slightly, and kept walking inside: "Have you found out about the whereabouts of Mo Xiu Yingwei?"
"No, my subordinates almost sent someone to go through Mo Xiu's study, and they didn't find any secret rooms, even the few secret compartments that were occasionally found were already empty."
Xiong Xin didn't do much of this kind of thing, but it was the first time that he did it so cleanly.
"In the brazier in the study, there are a large number of burned ashes, it seems that Mo Xiu should have burned everything in advance."
In this case, Zhan Ge had already expected it, Mo Xiu has always been rigorous, and it is not difficult to understand that there is such a practice.
"Have you checked the bedroom and courtyard?"
"It's all checked, nothing special, and the housekeeper said that since Mrs. Mo was sent to Qinglong Temple, Mo Xiu has hardly even been back to the bedroom, let alone the backyard, and those concubines don't know anything."
This degree of purity and lack of desire, even Xiong Xin is breathtaking, there are many high-ranking officials and rich people in the capital, and there are not a few concubines, but this level is really rare.
Zhan Ge's eyes became deeper and deeper: "Mo Xiu has only one concubine daughter, only three children in total, and there are many concubines, but there are so few children, don't you think there is something wrong?"
"Maybe it's because Mrs. Mo is jealous?" It's not impossible.
"Even a harem with endless intrigues and tricks, it can also produce so many princes, a small military department Shangshufu, why are there so few children, are you asking people to check, is there anything greasy in this?"
Although there was no gossip about the backyard women, Zhan Ge had also heard of it a few times, Mrs. Mo quarreled with Master Mo because of the pregnancy of the concubine in the backyard, and there was only one result, could it be that Cheng gave a bowl of soup and medicine away?
"Yes, my subordinates will send someone to investigate."
Zhan Ge walked all the way from Mo Xiu's study to Mo Xiu's bedroom, which was a little messy, and it was turned over by the Praetorian Guards, so neat and tidy was naturally impossible.
However, Mo Xiu, who is one of the six Shangshu, is his life so simple?
None of these furnishings are precious, but they have a unique style, not quite like Mo Xiu's usual style.
The futon on Mo Xiu's bed had been thrown away, leaving only a large carved bed lying alone.
This bed, but very ordinary.
Zhan Ge slowed down and walked around, his fingers wandering along the texture of the wooden board on the bed, and when he touched a place, he suddenly stopped, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, sure enough, there was something greasy in it.
When Xiong Xin came, Zhan Ge was standing by the window looking at the branches blown by the wind outside, and the November season was full of gloom and desolation.
"Lord Wang, it's cold here, why are you here all the time?" Xiong Xin looked left and right, this bedroom was still the same as if he had just come in, why did the prince stay here for so long?
"It's okay, but I suddenly feel that the scenery here is better, and I've been staying for a long time, have you found anything?"
The woman in this backyard has always been the best to break through during interrogation.
"Yes, I just asked, there is a concubine room said, in recent years, Lord Mo has indeed no children, but there were indeed a few before, but they are basically boys, they were sent away when they were born, and soon after that, the concubine room was also sold, if it weren't for the fact that this concubine has been pretending to be deaf and dumb, I'm afraid it will also be cleaned up."
Some thoughts in Zhan Ge's heart were gradually recruited: "Then it means that the only girl left with the concubine is Miss Mo San, and the only male in the Mo Mansion is really Mo Han from Mrs. Mo, who is a concubine."
Xiong Xin hurriedly responded: "Exactly, in the rumors to the outside world, it is said that it is because Mrs. Mo is jealous, so there are no children in the concubines, and the only Miss Mo San is because of Mrs. Mo's mercy."
The wind outside the window is a little stronger, and the pace of winter is really getting closer and closer, and this person's heart is really getting more and more shameless.
"Mo Xiu is really interesting, he took away the children from the concubine's room, but let his wife carry all the black cauldrons, do you know this?"
"The subordinates have already asked Mrs. Mo's personal maid, Mrs. Mo doesn't know about this matter, Mo Xiu has hidden this matter very tightly, although I don't know why."
This military department Shangshu Mansion, there was no problem when I checked it before, and the whole person felt creepy. Now that I've found out a bunch of problems, I feel even more creepy.
Seeing that Zhan Ge has always been unfathomable, Xiong Xin didn't care about the difference between the top and bottom, and asked in a low voice.
"Does the prince know why?"
Zhan Ge shook his head slightly, with a calm expression: "I don't know, that's why I have to ask, in two days, I will bring Mrs. Mo down from Qinglong Temple and send her to the side by side palace."
"Yes."
The affairs of the Mo Mansion are the sole responsibility of the King Side by Side, and His Majesty has already ordered it, so it is only necessary to obey the order.
When he was about to walk out of the Mo Mansion, Zhan Ge glanced back, obviously it was no different from when he came before, but it just made people suddenly feel that the air of decay could not be concealed, and it was in vain that it came out of his bones, no matter how he covered it up.
"I remember that the people in the house are taken care of, and no torture is allowed, Mo Han's words, use the board every few days, just don't let him have the strength to get out of the yard, no matter what he says, don't care."
Xiong Xin is cautious in his words and deeds, and remembers it clearly.
Zhan Ge rode away, the gate of Mofu was closed again, and there were people leaving outside, and it was not just one person who had been inquiring about the news here.
Side by side in the palace, Zhan Ge turned over and dismounted, the guards led the horses, and Zhan Ge walked directly inside.
"What about Madame? Where is it? ”
The ink merchant followed behind, following in the same direction: "Madame is now in the warm pavilion, she has just made hibiscus cakes, and she is using them with the eldest young master."
The weather is a little calm, the two children are still young, and the earth dragon in the warm pavilion has already begun to burn.
"Well, there's nothing else unusual in the house, right?" Zhan Ge's matter today was confidential, and he also explained the matter to the ink merchant, and the ink merchant left after Zhan Ge entered the imperial study.
"It's business as usual in the house."
Zhan Ge's pace became faster and faster, but his expression gradually relaxed: "That's good."
The warm pavilion is as warm as spring, Yan Wushuang is just wearing a single coat, wearing a coat, his long hair is scattered behind him, extremely relaxed, Ah Jing is sitting on the edge of the cradle, his cheeks are bulging, obviously eating and not chewing yet.
"Father, you're back."
This pitiful look in his eyes didn't look like Ah Jing should have on weekdays, Zhan Ge glanced at Yan Wushuang, who was smiling, handed his coat to the maid who came over, and then rubbed the top of Ah Jing's head.
"What's wrong? But what did my mother do to make you angry? ”
Ah Jing shook his head slightly, and nodded lightly: "My mother eats pastries, hawthorn, sugar gourds, and chestnuts in front of her younger brothers and sisters...... My younger siblings couldn't eat, so they started crying, and they were just coaxed. ”
Hearing this, Zhan Ge walked to the cradle and saw that although the eyes of the two little ones were boneless, there were still undried tears on their chubby faces, which were pitiful and cute.
At this time, it was the most difficult time to be a husband and a father, beside him was the poor eldest son, and in the cradle was the two little ones who were made to cry by their mother, and on the soft couch not far away, sat the lady who was laughing wildly.
"In this way, Ah Jing will accompany his younger brothers and sisters first, and my father will go and talk to your mother, okay?"
Ah Jing, who took over the burden of his eldest brother like a father early, nodded obediently: "Father, my mother definitely didn't mean it, when you speak, you must pay attention to your tone."
"Got it, worried kid."
When Zhan Ge passed, Yan Wushuang was eating sugar gourd with red cheeks, which was still bought by the maid on the street, last year, Yan Wushuang was pregnant, and he didn't eat much, so he naturally didn't have to scruple this year, and he loved snacks more than children.
"Are you in a good mood today? Why do you keep teasing your child? ”
This doting tone is not a little softer than talking to the three children just now, but the maid Ah Jing and the others who are waiting for him don't think it should be done at all, and the general should be like this.
Yan Wushuang handed the sugar gourd to Zhan Ge's mouth and smiled and bent his eyes.
"Of course it's good, I don't know why, suddenly I'm in a good mood, those two little ones have been watching, I have eaten a bunch of them unconsciously, and now my stomach is still swollen, so I can only eat sugar gourds to eat."
"Don't eat if you eat too much, wait until you're hungry and then eat it, is there still hibiscus cake?" As for the reproach, of course, it must not be said at all.
Ah Jing seemed to have expected it, and he was very happy to poke his younger siblings' milk fat.
Shuangshuang brought a plate and put it on the table: "Madame specially prepared a plate for the general."
"The ink merchant is back, you go to him, there is no need here for the time being." After walking away, Zhan Ge talked to Yan Wushuang about today's events while eating pastries.
Ah Jing listened to it on the sidelines, and it was regarded as enlightenment.
"It's a big drama, so where do you think those kids have gone? This Mo Xiu is also ruthless enough. ”
The first time he met such a person, Yan Wushuang suddenly felt very shocked, and suddenly thought of those dog blood who used his own flesh and blood to refine the pill, and then took a bite to suppress the shock.
Zhan Ge packed up everything he could eat, put it out of Yanwushuang's reach, and put a cup of diet tea for her.
"Eat less, my stomach is uncomfortable and I can't sleep at night, which is a little bad for my skin." Zhan Ge knows Yan Wushuang the most, and he also knows how to say that he can poke Yan Wushuang's heart.
