"Father, what is this?" After reading it, Shi Min shook the silk cloth in his hand and said.

"Hehe, this is Your Majesty's reassurance to the Xihua Marquis Mansion."

"Reassurance? Father, does this thing reassure you? ”

"Naturally, it can't." Shi Zhan glanced at Shi Min and said, "If this paper can really keep the Xihuahou Mansion safe and sound, then there will be no such thing as a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey!" ”

"So...... What is the father's plan? ”

Shi Zhan shook his head and said, "The incident happened suddenly, and my father hasn't thought about it yet!" ”

At this moment, a woman's voice came: "Master Hou, ...... Childe"

When Shi Zhan's father and son heard the sound, they saw a young and beautiful woman with jade skin standing not far away, looking at them.

"It must be Lord Xin, right?" Shi Zhan glanced at Shi Min and asked.

Lord Xinjun saluted respectfully: "My niece has seen my uncle. ”

This Xinjun Lord is clever, and when they met for the first time, they called Shi Zhan her uncle, which invisibly brought her closer to the Xihua Hou Mansion. After all, now she just has the name of the county lord, and has no other backers, the scenery of Yanwangfu is no longer there, and she can only be a sender.

Lord Xin hesitated for a moment, and did not look directly at Shi Min, probably because of the embarrassing thing that they didn't want to mention to each other that day, so he also saluted and said, "I've seen Gongzi ......."

Shi Min was also very embarrassed, and replied hastily: "The county lord doesn't have to be polite." ”

"Ben Hou has been stationed in Tuntian in Handan recently, Xiao Min has just returned from Hexi, and there are only family members at home to serve, I don't know if the county lord is still used to living in the cold house?"

"Everything is fine, my niece is now homeless, and I have to thank my uncle for taking her in......," said Lord Xin, his face full of melancholy.

Seeing Lord Xin's appearance, Shi Zhan said: "Since you are here, stay in peace, take a walk, don't stand, let's go to the front hall to talk." ”

Shi Zhan said, taking the lead in walking, with Lord Xin and Shi Min following behind.

"Xihuahou Mansion is just a square inch of land, not as luxurious as Yanwang Mansion, the county lord has to take care of more!" Shi Zhan said as he walked.

"The Yanwang Mansion is already in danger, the life and death of the father is unknown, even if it is carved and jade, the niece can't go back." Lord Xin said, quietly wiping away his tears.

The three of them came to the front hall, and Shi Zhan ordered, "Sit down, don't stand." ”

Shi Min and Lord Xin glanced at each other, and quickly avoided their gazes, and they didn't dare to sit face to face, so they found a place to sit down at random.

Seeing the two of them like this, Shi Zhan didn't say anything.

At this time, another woman walked in with tea, and it was Qin Wan.

Qin Wan brought the tea to Shi Zhan, smiled and said, "General, please drink tea." ”

Seeing Qin Wan, Shi Zhan couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you, Miss Qin." ”

Qin Wan smiled slightly, and then handed the two cups of tea to Shi Min and Lord Xin respectively.

Since Qin Wan entered the house, Shi Min's eyes have been staring at her, and this move was seen by Lord Xin, and suddenly, Lord Xin's eyes looked at Qin Wan, and there was a little more hostility.

After serving tea, Qin Wan saluted and said, "The little woman retires." ”

Shi Zhan nodded and said, "Go ahead!" ”

When Qin Wan left, Lord Xin was a little displeased and asked, "Uncle, who is this Qin girl?" Why is it always in the house? ”

Shi Zhan naturally saw these words of Lord Xin, with some dissatisfaction and some hostility, so he smiled and said, "This Qin girl and her father were rescued by Xiao Min from the fists and feet of the patrol camp. The father and daughter were poor and homeless, so Ben Hou left the child in the mansion, and as for her father, he is now working as a clerk in Ben Hou's army. ”

Lord Xin pouted slightly, looked at Shi Min and said, "I didn't expect that Gongzi still likes to fight chivalry." ”

Shi Min smiled awkwardly and replied, "It's just a matter of drawing a knife to help when Lu sees injustice." ”

Seeing Shi Min's appearance of smiling rather than smiling, Lord Xin was even more jealous, and looked at Shi Min with a pout.

Shi Min helplessly cast a pleading glance at Shi Zhan, and in order to avoid embarrassment, Shi Zhan asked, "What do you know about witch Gu?" ”

Lord Xinjun shook his head and said, "My niece doesn't know, I only know that the forbidden army suddenly surrounded the palace that day, and brought His Majesty's holy decree, saying that it was to be searched, and my father didn't know what was going on at that time. It didn't take long for the Forbidden Army to uncover the so-called incriminating evidence. ”

"Who led the forbidden army that came to search at that time?"

"I don't know the man's niece, but I heard those people call him the Great Commander."

"Wen Cang!" Shi Min said: "Father ......"

"Beforehand, I didn't receive any news from the house?" Shi Zhan did not respond to Shi Min, but continued to ask Lord Xin.

Lord Xin shook his head and said, "It shouldn't have been that I didn't receive the news, otherwise even if my father turned the Yan Wang's Mansion upside down, he would find out the harmful things and burn them, all of this came too suddenly......

Shi Min saw that Shi Zhan interrupted him, so he didn't say anything more.

After listening to Lord Xin's words, Shi Zhan nodded slightly, and said to Lord Xin: "County Lord, you go back to the room to rest first!" ”

Lord Xin looked dazed and asked, "Uncle, what's the matter...... What's wrong......"

"It's nothing, you go back and rest first."

"Did my uncle think of a way to save my father? Father must have been wronged! Seeing Shi Zhan's thoughtful appearance, Lord Xin immediately felt that he had grasped a life-saving straw.

But Shi Zhan shook his head, which made Lord Xin's heart instantly cold again.

Seeing that the father and son didn't say much, Lord Xin could only get up and retire stupidly.

After Lord Xin left, Shi Min asked, "Father, did you think of something?" ”

Shi Zhan glanced at Shi Min, got up slowly, and said, "Wen Cang personally led people to Soyan Wangfu, and he also brought the holy decree, obviously with His Majesty's approval. But the question is, is it the decree that Wen Cang went to ask, or is it the holy decree directly issued by His Majesty? ”

Shi Min thought for a moment and said, "There seems to be something to say about this. ”

"Of course there is!" Shi Zhan said categorically.

"If Wen Cang went to ask for an order, it means that he got the news in advance, and he is completely sure. If His Majesty directly issued an order, then who gave His Majesty the news of the witchcraft in the Yan Wangfu? ”

"Here's the problem! Who gave such a message? ”

"Father, the child thinks that if this person can be found, maybe the rebellion of the Yan Wangfu will have a turnaround. In any case, it is impossible for the Yan Wangfu to say that it will be searched, and if it is not completely certain, Wen Cang will definitely not dare to ask for an order. Or if the person who reports to His Majesty is not completely sure, His Majesty will not be gullible, so ......"

"If you want to find out how this decree was made, one person must know."

"Who? Lu An? Shi Min asked.

Shi Zhan nodded and said, "That's right, it's Lu An!" He is His Majesty's personal attendant, and no one knows the ins and outs of this matter better than him! ”

"The child understands, so go into the palace to find Lu An." Shi Min said, turning around to leave.

"Wait!" Shi Zhan shouted.

Shi Min hurriedly stopped, turned around and asked, "What's wrong father?" ”

"Now in broad daylight, you go into the palace to find him, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, if you want to use this person, it's better to be cautious! lest he be discovered, and he should be killed! ”

Shi Min thought about it and felt that this was reasonable, so he said, "The boy will wait until it gets dark." ”

"Go and find your Third Uncle Xu." Shi Zhan commanded.

"What are you looking for Uncle Xu?" Shi Min wondered.

"I have my own plan for the Father! You don't have to ask! Go ahead! Shi Zhan waved his hand.

Shi Min nodded silently and responded.
