I only heard Liu Jinhu say: "It's strange, Brother Lan hasn't told me about the situation of his family, among the guards, just a few of us have a good relationship, he should tell us, what to do now, you said that now that he is drunk, you can't throw him here." “

Zhang Wensheng, who had not spoken much, said: "Brother Liu, I think so, let's find an inn for Brother Lan, you go back, I will go to the inn to watch him, and when he wakes up, I will send him home." ”

"Then so be it, you two carry Brother Lan on your back, take the baggage, and I'll go to settle the bill."

Sui Jiantang carried me on his back, and Zhang Wensheng carried his burden and went down to the second floor, and there was a carriage outside, which was specially prepared for these drunk guests. Beckoned to come over, two people carried me into the carriage, Liu Jinhu, who was paying in the lobby, also walked out, climbed into the carriage together, and went to the outer city, the inner city is full of eunuch houses and the mansions of princes and nobles, there are few inns, so they want to settle me to go to the outer city.

Not far out of the inner city, there is an inn, Liu Jinhu first went down to ask, and then came out to beckon the two of them to carry me into the inn, the innkeeper saw that we were all wearing official uniforms, and the attitude was very respectful, and arranged for the guy to lead us to the upper room on the second floor, after a few of them put me down, Liu Jinhu explained a few words to Zhang Wensheng before leaving with Sui Jiantang carrying the baggage.

I lay on the bed, didn't dare to get up, continued to pretend to be drunk and leaned on the quilt, Zhang Wensheng himself sat in the inn, on a chair in front of the window, drinking tea, looking at the pedestrians on the street.

I don't think it's interesting to pretend anymore, now Zhang Wensheng himself is here, and it's easy to fool. Stretching, I got out of bed, rubbed my eyes, and said, "Why am I here, what is this place?" ”

Zhang Wensheng, who was sitting in front of the window, saw me wake up, and also stood up and walked to the side of the bed and said, "Brother Lan, you were drunk just now, and we don't know where you live, so we thought of a way to find an inn for you to rest first, Brother Liu, they went back first, and I will be here to guard you as soon as I go back." Now that you're awake, I'll take you home. ”

"Brother Zhang, no need, you can go home too, my sister-in-law is still waiting for you at home, I'm fine, I'll go home after a rest."

Zhang Wensheng saw that I was really okay and said, "Brother Lan, you are really fine, then I will go home first." I've been in the palace for so long, and I really miss your sister-in-law and children. ”

"Okay, Brother Zhang, you can go back with confidence, brother, I really have nothing to do."

Zhang Wensheng carried his burden and left the inn, of course I sent it out, people were kind enough to accompany me for so long, at least etiquette is still required, not to mention that I don't know Lan Yunjie's social relationship, how deep the relationship with these people is, it is rare to have a few good friends, but I can't offend Guang.

After sending Zhang Wensheng away, I didn't go upstairs, but walked around the street, and saw a shop selling ready-to-wear clothes. Lan Yunjie had a few pieces, but he really didn't want to wear the clothes that others had worn, so he went in and bought cheap civilian clothes, returned to the inn, changed out of his official clothes, put on the clothes he had just bought, and took a gold ingot from his baggage and put it in his sleeve pocket.

Out of the inn, I called a carriage and headed for the old man's mansion.

When I was fifty feet from the old man's mansion, I got out of the carriage, paid the fare and sent the coachman away, and walked on as if I was fine.

When I walked to the old man's mansion, I looked at the door closed, and there was no one in front of the door, only two hawkers not far from the door, looking at this side vigorously, it didn't look like doing business at all, it seemed to be a secret agent of Jinyiwei, if so, it means that the old man is fine, if they caught the old man, they would have sealed the mansion a long time ago.

I walked around the outside of the mansion again, and I didn't find anything except a few Jinyi guards who were watching, and no one in the mansion came out. Let's see if I won't find anything if I wait, I'm worried about Wei Zihan, and he doesn't know how to deal with the affairs of his uncle's family?

It's not far from here to Weifu, and I didn't call a carriage, so I walked to Weifu, and I walked along the way. The prosperity of the capital is indeed not comparable to the following cities, only to see the streets on both sides, pot pawnshops, restaurants and silk villages, countless. The road is full of pedestrians, and now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, there are many more people shopping than usual.

It didn't take much time to come to the Wei Mansion, the gate of the Wei Mansion was also closed, but the corner door on the side was open, and the ordinary guests and their families entered and exited from the corner gate, and a few sedan chairs were parked in front of the door, and several sedan chair drivers were sitting and chatting on the stone steps under the tree in front of the door. The official in the sedan chair may have entered the Wei Mansion or just hid in the sedan chair and waited, they would not come out to wait with the sedan chair drivers, face was the most important thing for the scholars at that time, the villain behind the male thief and the female prostitute, on the surface is a sanctimonious gentleman, they came to the Wei Mansion to see Uncle Wei Zihan in the ministry, they came to ask someone to come.

Thinking of this, I sighed in my heart, the letter that Shouguang County ordered me to bring at that time was still in the old man's house, and if it was confiscated now, maybe even he would be affected.

Because there is nothing to do when I go back, and I don't know where the home is, I simply sat on the stone steps in front of the door and listened to those sedan chair men Kan Dashan, in fact, there is an expectation in my heart, looking forward to Zihan being able to come out, whether she can speak or not, it is good to see her, I know that the chance of such an expectation can be realized is very slim, Uncle Zihan treats Zihan as a baby, and he can still let him come out.

Until the end of the unitary time, the sedan chair on the top left one after another, and Zihan was not seen, not even Shunzi and Xiaoyu.

With a feeling of loss, I walked back along the way I came, because the mood was not very good, a little lost soul, so I didn't pay attention to walking, and suddenly collided with a rushing person on the opposite side, just hit the wound on my arm, I almost didn't faint in pain, squatted on the ground, the person also bumped into it, and scolded in his mouth: "You are blind, dare to hit the uncle." I was also angry, stood up and was about to reason with him, who knew that after the man saw my appearance, he actually knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Young master, I don't know that you are old, you must not be like me." ”
