Lu Laosan drooped his arms and grinned and said: "Two adults, I am indeed not the main messenger, a few days ago Uncle Zhang's housekeeper found me, let me find a group of good hands, he said to help Uncle Guo deal with an opponent, after the matter is completed, give me five thousand taels of silver, and follow one person two thousand taels, if you do it neatly, there are other rewards, if something happens, Uncle Guo came forward to stand up, I thought that this deal is very cost-effective, so I agreed to the housekeeper." We have been waiting for news in Uncle Guo's mansion for the past few days, and the housekeeper of Uncle Guo's family said that they have spies to keep an eye on each other. ”

"This is not early this morning the spy said that the opponent is here, we hurried over, who knows that after coming, the housekeeper said that the opponent is in the house, let us wait, everyone is impatient, discuss and want to come in directly, hurry up and go back to get the silver, this is not just about to act and be caught by you."

After Lu Laosan finished speaking, I said to Zhang Qianhu: "Lord Zhang, why do I think what Lu Laosan said is a bit incomplete, they are obviously here for the prince and the princess." Now Lu Laosan said that he didn't know who to deal with, whether there was anything to hide. ”

I mean to let Lu Laosan say that it was Uncle Guo who instructed him to assassinate the prince and the princess, and only in this way can he be put to death.

That Zhang Qianhu is also an understanding person, knowing that I want to make a big deal out of it, and making a big deal is also good for him, if he goes back like this, he has completed the task, and there is nothing to reward, if he saves the prince and princess, then the credit will be great.

Zhang Qianhu scolded Lu Laosan who was kneeling: "Lu Laosan, you don't tell the truth now, as long as you tell the truth, I'll let you be fine, how to say it or not, is it for the prince." ”

Lu Laosan has also been a ruffian for half his life, and his brain is also very smart, hearing us say this, he also knows that today's matter is a big trouble, so he hesitated and said: "Two adults, the little one was concealed just now, it was Uncle Guo who asked us to assassinate the prince, saying that as long as the prince is assassinated, the child born by Zhang Guifei can only be the prince in the future, two adults, I told the truth, you have to call the shots for me, then Uncle Zhang Guo must not let me go." ”

Zhang Qianhu said to the Ti Qi beside him: "You go find a pen and paper and ask Lu Laosan to sign and draw." ”

After a while, Tiqi brought a pen and paper and an inkstone, and wrote down what Lu Laosan said, Lu Laosan's two arms were broken, and he couldn't sign and draw, as long as he pressed his handprint. The main thing in this is Lu Laosan, and the others are all thugs who came with him, and none of the people in Uncle Zhang Guo's mansion are here.

I asked Zhang Qianhu: "What will Master Zhang do next?" ”

"Lord Lan, we can't call the shots in this matter, it is a matter of the emperor's relatives and relatives, I have to go back and tell the commander and the Tongzhi lord, I will take these people away, do you want to leave fifty people to protect the prince and princess."

As soon as I thought about it, Uncle Zhang of the province jumped over the wall in a hurry, and I would be in trouble if I came again, so I said: "Okay, then thank you Lord Zhang, I will call them back after sending the prince and princess back to the palace." ”

Zhang Qianhu took these ruffians and hooligans away with people, and Lu Laosan was a key object of protection, so he also got him a horse, tied it to the saddle with a rope and followed the team away.

After I sent Zhang Qianhu away, I told the remaining Tiqi to be on guard around the yard, and let Boss Chen continue to sit on the street, and I went back to the yard when I saw that nothing went wrong, and when I came to the backyard, the little princess and the little prince or Wei Zihan were still playing in the house and did not come out.

At this time, it was almost noon, I knocked on the door and it was Wei Zihan who came out, she opened the door and saw that it was me and asked, "Brother Lei, is there something wrong?" ”

"Zihan, I see that it is not early, and it is time to eat, how do you eat with the princess and the prince."

"Brother Lei, this is the matter, don't worry, my uncle made arrangements last night, including the people you came with, and the housekeeper should come to call you for dinner in a while." I was talking to Wei Zihan here, and the little princess inside was impatient: "Master Lan, don't bother us, let Sister Zihan come back." ”

I shook my head helplessly, said goodbye to Wei Zihan and came to the front yard, I don't know what Wei Zihan is playing with them inside, I actually let the little princess and the prince stay in it for so long and don't feel bored, it seems that I want to learn more from Wei Zihan, and I really don't have a lot of ways to coax children.

Lao Liu and the eunuchs who were about to protect the prince just now were drinking tea and chatting in the small living room, and when they saw me coming in, these people all stood up, and I said to Lao Liu: "You will go and get the silver in a while, and give each of you ten taels of silver to drink tea, although the brothers have not been able to participate in the battle today, but I will tell the princess and the emperor about your courage and the spirit of heartfelt protection, as for how the emperor will reward it, it depends on the creation of your brothers." ”

As soon as a few little eunuchs heard that there was silver to take, they had already been happy to bloom They were in the palace for a month The monthly silver was only five cents, and now it was ten taels of silver at once, and most of them were thinking about how to spend it, and what rewards were there to care about, the little eunuchs all got up and thanked them, and I was also polite, doing things in the palace, no matter who they were, they had to make friends, and they couldn't be offended. It's also a good thing to make friends with me and let them remember me.

The lunch meal is also very rich, it seems that Uncle Wei Zihan didn't bother much, but the horsemen outside were not counted, and there was no way for the housekeeper of Wei Mansion to send someone to the restaurant to order the meal, which solved the problem of eating, all the people did not drink, this is also what I decided, drinking is wrong, if you are drunk and can't serve the princess and the prince in the afternoon, it will be troublesome.

Just after eating, I was sitting in the living room chatting with Xiao Guizi and the eunuch who was accompanying the prince, when suddenly a person wearing a seven-rank official uniform came in at the door, shouting as he walked: "Lord Lan is not here." ”

I hurried out and asked, "I just, why am you in such a hurry?" ”

"Lord Lan, Lord Xu of the cabinet, Lord Zhang, please come over and ask about the case."

I asked strangely, "My lord, what kind of case am I going to ask, and I still have to serve the princess and the prince here." ”

The official wiped the sweat on his face and said, "Lord Lan, it was the case of Uncle Zhang Guo who sent someone to assassinate the prince in the morning, and now several adults in the cabinet are in the Jinyiwei Hall, waiting for you to come over, hurry up and come with me." ”

As soon as I heard that this was the case, I knew that this time it was really a big trouble, so I quickly called Lao Liu and the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion over, and asked them to protect the princess and the prince and wait for me to come back.

I followed the official out of the Wei Mansion, and rode outside to the Jinyi Guard's Yamen.
