"Uncle Da, why are you?"

"Master Xiaomeng, the master is in a hurry to find you, come with me!" When Lao Da saw Meng Yan, he hurriedly said.

"Uncle Da, what's going on?" Meng Yan was a little surprised, at this time, it was the time for every family to have a reunion dinner.

"I don't know, what the master ordered, you better hurry up and come with me!" Lao Da urged.

"Okay, let me change my clothes!" Meng Yan nodded.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wen!" Lao Dachong was drunk and apologized deeply.

"It's okay, it's important!" Wen Duzui frowned slightly, this is not Guo Nu angry with him, it should be something really wrong, otherwise at this time, Guo Nu would never send someone over to "intercept" Meng Yan.

Today is Xiaoyu returning to her parents' house, Guo Nu is not the kind of person who is cautious.

"Tianxing, you follow Gongye, be careful on the road!" Wen Xiaoyu asked Lin Tianxing to follow Meng Yan together.

"Got it, Lady Rain!"

After getting into the carriage, Lin Tianxing also sat on Lao Da's right, and Lao Da drove the carriage into the street and headed west.

Meng Yan was thinking, Guo Nu found him at this time, what happened, he had to tell him face to face, and let Lao Da pass on a word?

He was a little apprehensive, even a little nervous.

Lao Da didn't know about it, which showed that he was very strict, but he didn't know how strict he was.

The carriage was speeding on the road in the dead of night, and there were snowflakes in the sky, and the windows were lifted. A cold wind blew in, and Meng Yan subconsciously shrank his neck!

Early tomorrow morning, there will be a big court meeting, and all the officials in Beijing will attend to congratulate the emperor on a happy new year.

And then there's a whole bunch of activities, which are boring, but you have to go and get used to these things.

It has to be said that the ancients had so few things to entertain them, so they invented these boring rituals to pass the time.

Standing in the snow and ice, of course. That's definitely not a comfortable thing to do.

Maybe the emperor likes to sit on the dragon chair. Watch from above and kowtow to him.

The carriage slowed down because the road was icy and slippery, if it was too fast. That's easy to roll over.

From Songhe Tower to Guofu. At least half an hour's journey is smaller. Although there is no one at night, it is even more difficult to walk.

So, when Meng Yan arrived. It's almost the third watch!

"Uncle, my lord is waiting for you in the study!" When he arrived at Guo's mansion, Lao Da changed his name to Meng Yan as "uncle", just now in Songhe Tower, he was called "Little Meng", in front of Wen Du's drunken father and daughter, it was a little inappropriate to call "uncle".

"Got it, Tianxing, stay outside and wait for me." After Meng Yan got out of the car, he commanded.

"Yes, Childe!"

"Brother Lin, it's cold outside, if you don't mind, accompany Lao Da and me into the house for a drink?" Old Dadao.

Lin Tianxing glanced at Meng Yan.

"Go, Uncle Da is a senior." Meng Yan nodded,

Guo Fu was too familiar to Meng Yan, but at this point, he felt a little weird.

"Knock Knock ......"

"Come in!"

"Uncle Guo, ...... so late" As soon as Meng Yan pushed the door in, he saw not only Guo Nu, but also Sai Xiaoyu, and the Persian cat that was sleeping in his arms forever.

"Sit down!" Guo Nu pointed to the chair opposite him and ordered.

Meng Yan walked over and sat down slowly: "Uncle Guo, Uncle Sai, suddenly called me over, what happened?" ”

"Judge, let's talk about it." Guo Nu glanced at Meng Yan, and then cast his gaze on Sai Xiaoyu's body.

"Cao Qin has found a group of outlaws, and they are going to raid your house tonight!" Sai Xiaoyu said slowly.

"What?" Meng Yan was shocked, although the defense force at home was not weak, but he was not the backbone, although there was a master like Fangfang who was secretly pressing the formation, but he was still a little uneasy about Lao Fan and the others.

Especially Jiao Hong, there is absolutely no room for error.

"It's too late for you to go back now, and now that we've got the news, it's naturally impossible for them to succeed." Guo said angrily, "Sit down." ”

Hearing this, Meng Yan breathed a sigh of relief, since they all grasped the news, Guo Nu and Sai Xiaoyu would definitely not look at it.

"Do you think you're underestimating the East Factory?"

"No, I just didn't expect that they just sent someone to spy on us once, and they wouldn't jump over the wall so quickly." Meng Yan let out a long breath and said.

"Dongchang is playing with us, that can't play us, but they will use the simplest and most effective method, if they really succeed this time and find Jiao Hong, then you will be very passive, and we will be in big trouble." Sai Xiaoyu Road.

"I was negligent." Meng Yan admits that he did ignore this.

"No, you haven't understood the style of the people in Dongchang yet, in fact, you are already very capital, even if we don't find out about Cao Qin's actions, it will be difficult for them to break into your home!" Sai Xiaoyu said.

Sai Xiaoyu did not exaggerate, although the Meng Mansion is not a Longtan tiger's den, but not everyone can break in.

The group of people led by Fan Xiping, plus the fangs in the shadows, as well as Shen Cong and Zhang Bao, these people are definitely not so easy to deal with now.

"Okay, there should be news from there soon, let's talk about another thing." Guo said angrily, "This is the real reason why we came to you." ”

"Uncle, have you seen Bai Jiao's family?"

"I've seen it, this woman seems to be a little unusual, according to common sense, the prisoners who are taken in will be afraid and afraid, especially those who have committed crimes, but this woman doesn't seem to be afraid of this, and threatens me that if I don't let her go, I will be unlucky."

"She's right, if you don't let people go, my uncle will indeed be in big trouble." Sai Xiaoyu said slowly.

"What does Uncle Sai mean?"

"Bai Jiao's family, Jiao Lanrong, do you know what she did before she married Bai Xinyuan?" Sai Xiaoyu asked.

"I don't know yet."

"She has another identity. Jiao Lanrong used to be the palace maid next to the Empress Dowager, but she did not stay with the Empress Dowager Sun for a long time, only less than a year, and later she was transferred to the Huanyi Bureau, the new emperor ascended the throne, amnesty to the world, and a group of palace maids were also released in the palace, she was one of them, at that time. Her name is Lan Rong. No one knows her surname is Jiao! Sai Xiaoyu said slowly.

Meng Yan opened his mouth wide in shock, this is simply incredible, this Jiao Lanrong actually used to be a palace maid and served the Empress Dowager Sun?

"Raccoon Bureau. It was only the palace maids who made mistakes in the palace or were old that they would be assigned to that place. What mistake did this Jiao Lanrong make to be assigned there? Meng Yan asked strangely.

"It was to break one of Empress Dowager Sun's beloved teacups."

"It's just a teacup. Distribute people to that place? Meng Yan couldn't help muttering a little, this is too domineering.

"The affairs of the palace cannot be measured by common sense, stone!" Guo Nu reminded slightly.

"Oh. I see, Uncle Guo. ”

"The strange thing is that this Jiao Lanrong didn't suffer much after she arrived at the Huanyi Bureau, and then Emperor Daxing died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and granted amnesty to the world, and then the palace used this as a reason to release a group of palace maids out of the palace to marry, and Jiao Lanrong was one of them!" Sai Xiaoyu said, "But I checked the list released at the time, and her name was not there." ”

"What does Uncle Sai mean is that she was mixed into this group of palace maids and released?"

"My uncle is right, there are a few palace maids who were assigned to the Huanyi Bureau who can come out of there alive, although the palace maids who are released from the palace to marry also include the Huanyi Bureau, but they are not thirty years old, it is difficult to come out of the palace, and Jiao Lanrong's various conditions do not meet the requirements for release, so it is impossible for her to appear in the release list, but the problem is that she came out of the palace and obtained a free identity." Sai Xiaoyu Road.

"Someone is helping her arrange this qiē, and this person must at least be at the level of the chief manager or above." Guo said angrily, "And being able to destroy her archives in the palace is not something that ordinary people can do." ”

"Empress Dowager Sun!" Meng Yan exclaimed.

"Yes, Jiao Lanrong's biggest reliance is Empress Dowager Sun!" Sai Xiaoyu nodded.

Meng Yan felt a chill down his spine, no wonder Jiao Lanrong was so arrogant, it turned out that there was such a big figure behind her, and it was a big figure that he couldn't compete with!

Even if Wang Zhen is so powerful, Meng Yan is not afraid, because Wang Zhen is just a minion, no matter how powerful he is, there are still people who suppress him, but Empress Dowager Sun is different, he is the emperor's mother.

This "filial piety" is a terrible thing, the emperor will not do it against her mother for an outsider, right?

"Are you scared now?" Guo asked in a deep voice.

Meng Yan's eyes condensed slightly, these two were all at ease, although they had already known this secret and had adjusted their mentality, but from their eyes, they didn't seem to see fear.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the rule set by Ming Taizu, in fact, which dynasty and generation have similar rules, but the implementation is different.

Empress Dowager Sun's influence on the government is not as good as Wang Zhen's, and Wang Zhen has to follow the rules when he interferes in politics, even if the superficial procedures cannot be criticized.

Empress Dowager Sun is a woman, just because she is the emperor's mother, just a noble status, out of Beijing City, or even out of Bauhinia City, who will give her much face?

For Empress Dowager Sun, a powerful official like Guo Nu only has respect in his heart, but if he wants to say the word "fear", it is difficult to say how much.

After a little steady, Meng Yan said: "I'm just surprised, why did Empress Dowager Sun bother to send such a woman out of the palace, what did she want to do?" ”

"Uncle's words are to the point!" Sai Xiaoyu nodded and praised, "This, we don't know, maybe, this mystery will be revealed in your hands, uncle." ”

"Let me unravel the mystery?" Meng Yan's eyes widened suddenly.

"Yes, now that the case has reached this point, either resist the pressure and investigate it, or just stop it, if you want to investigate, Jiao Lanrong will definitely be involved." Sai Xiaoyu Road.

"There has been a word in the palace, asking us to release Jiao Lanrong, the meaning of the Empress Dowager Sun, and the words sent by Wang Zhen." Guo said angrily.

"Wang Zhen went directly to Uncle Guo?"

"Yes, he knows that it's useless to look for you, so it's better to go directly to me to put pressure on you." Guo Nu nodded.

"Then Uncle Guo, what do you think?"

"Lord Guo and I want to hear your thoughts, uncle!" Sai Xiaoyu took over the conversation.

"I ......" Meng Yan was stumped suddenly. (To be continued......)
