Chapter 387: Officers and Soldiers Arrive

The people who can work in the Regent's Mansion are not only the slaves who were carefully selected and bought from the outside, but also some of the soldiers who have been following Xiao Chumo for several years and can no longer go back to the battlefield to fight.

In order to protect their families and defend the country, these soldiers were more or less physically disabled, but they had no official positions and no background connections, and the imperial court did not intend to care about their lives or deaths. Even the little consolation money that was distributed was swallowed up by the officials who handled it.

At that time, Mo Baozhou was still in power, and the palace was singing every night, while the people outside were already having some difficulty surviving.

These soldiers have been fighting outside all year round, and they already feel that they owe it to their families. finally came back, but he could only drag a crippled body, and he couldn't even subsidize some silver for his family. Under all the desolation, many people have the intention of seeking death!

Although Xiao Chumo was very indifferent to others, he was a little unbearable for these soldiers who were fighting together all day long. After learning the news, he made his own decision, and chose some of them who were still able to do things in their limbs to stay in the house to do things, and the rest sent someone to send a lot of silver, so that they could help somewhat.

And the young man who came in to report was the only son of one of the veterans.

His father went on a campaign with the army for three years, and he never even returned from the funeral of his old mother. After learning the news that his father had died in battle, his mother was so grief-stricken that she went with him. When Xiao Chumo sent someone to deliver the silver, he found out about the situation in his family, so he took someone into the mansion and asked him to do things here.

From the time of Mo Baozhou's reign, Xiao Chumo was already a unique god of war in the hearts of the people of Ningguo, and only with him could he keep the peace of the entire Ningguo. At that time, the emperor was mediocre, and the only word of mouth was this loyal and brave general, who was the object of most reverence of all the young people.

Naturally, this teenager is no exception.

He was very grateful for the things Xiao Chumo had done, even if he knew that it was just a gesture for him, but he also knew that if he was someone else, he might not even be able to do this little "gesture".

He rarely saw this loyal and brave general show his heroic appearance when leading the army to kill the enemy on the battlefield, especially after his wife entered the mansion, the general became more and more gentle. Now it is rare to see such a thrilling momentum, and of course he is excited.

Probably because of Xiao Chumo, the young man moved unusually fast, and after a while, Xiao Chumo saw the housekeeper walking towards the front hall with a few officers and soldiers.

"Regent, offended! It's just that you also know that the emperor has issued a wanted warrant, and we are just acting on orders. ”

The person who is talking now is the head catcher in the yamen of the capital. I don't know if it's because he thinks he's already in Situ Ye, or if he looks at the current regent palace as if the general trend has gone. On weekdays, this person clearly didn't even dare to look at Xiao Chumo, but the words he said at this time were mixed with a weird tone of yin and yang.

Xiao Chumo sank his gaze, in order to paralyze Situ Ye, he deliberately pretended to be weakened by the blood curse, coughed several times, and then said with some resentment: "What a person who is acting on orders!" Whether this wanted warrant was issued by the emperor himself or not, you and I know it all in our hearts, so why bother pretending to be here? ”

Hearing his words, the face of the head catcher changed suddenly, as if he didn't expect that he had guessed the truth of the wanted warrant.

What's going on, didn't it mean that this regent was seriously ill at home and hadn't been to the court for several days?

The head catcher was very shocked, but he quickly sorted out the look on his face: "The prince is afraid that he is sick and confused, can this wanted warrant issued by the emperor himself be fake?" Even if you want to protect the princess, you shouldn't embarrass them like this. ”

As he spoke, before he could finish speaking, he had already accepted Fang Cai's fake smile. It seems that he doesn't plan to say these inconsequential polite words to Xiao Chumo anymore.

"This arrester was ordered to arrest the fugitive, and asked the prince to wait on the side with peace of mind, and not to be injured by mistake. You guys, just go in and search! ”

The first half of his sentence was clearly warning Xiao Chumo not to act rashly, and when he said the last sentence, he glanced at the other headhunters who followed behind him.

A few people in the back understood it, and immediately brought in a group of officers and soldiers who were guarding outside, and began to search the mansion on a large scale. Looking at that posture, where it seems to be looking for someone, it is clearly deliberately to humiliate Xiao Chumo!

Such an obvious purpose made the face of the old butler standing on the side very difficult to look at, "Lord Wang, this ......"

"It's okay, let them search, but the villain has a will!"

Xiao Chumo squinted his eyes and quietly watched these officers and soldiers rampaging through the mansion, making a mess of all kinds of furnishings. If you are familiar with him, you should know that if he makes this move, it means that someone is going to be unlucky. They can range from serious injuries to loss of life.

If it weren't for the fact that he had more important things to do right now, he couldn't startle the snake for the time being, but he was afraid that these officers and soldiers who didn't know the height of the sky would have been splashed with blood on the spot, how could they still show off their lives here?

Merely...... Looking at the movements of these officers and soldiers rummaging, it didn't seem like they were just here to find someone and humiliate him, they were more like they were looking for something else.

What are you looking for?

Xiao Chumo kept these people's strange actions in mind, but on the surface, he didn't move at all, and still tasted tea without a sip.

After a short time, the officers and soldiers gradually stopped searching, and one of them trotted to the head catcher and reported: "Report to your lordship, I haven't found it." ”

"How could it not be?"

The head catcher was obviously surprised, and then he grabbed the man's shirt with some unwillingness, dragged him in front of him, and asked again meaningfully: "Really, is there nothing?" ”

Obviously, this head catcher is also used to acting as a prestige in the yamen on weekdays, and it is estimated that there are many methods of torturing people. As soon as the man he was holding saw his face, which seemed to be about to eat people, he immediately trembled with fright, and hurriedly shook his head and replied: "Really, really not, sir! ”

"A bunch of rubbish!"

The head catcher cursed, and shook off the person he was dragging in his hand, looking very angry. However, he was angry, and Xiao Chumo was in a good mood.

"What, didn't you find what the adults were looking for?"

The latter's words with a smile made the head catcher's heart "chuckle", and he couldn't even care about being angry, and the look on his face instantly became a little stiff.

What's going on, is it his delusion? Why did he think that when the regent said this, he already knew that they were quietly looking for something else under the pretext of looking for someone?
