Two days later, the fire in the original Zhang family's mansion was completely extinguished, and the distant Wang Mansion was full of charcoal dust, but the soldiers guarding outside did not leave, and still stood guard outside the mansion in shifts.

In the evening, Zhulan said suspiciously: "Since the fire has been extinguished, why haven't the soldiers outside the mansion left?" ”

In the past two days, there has been a lot of discussion, all of which are speculating about why the original Zhang Mansion should be guarded.

Zhou Shuren had already guessed in his heart, "I think what the emperor wants to find, it's better to find it if it's ruined, isn't it?" There's nothing to stop now. ”

Zhulan thought of a possibility, "Do you say that the people of the Zhang clan really didn't live and were all wiped out back then?" ”

Zhou Shuren, "I don't know." ”

Zhulan is just guessing, forget it, or don't think about it, it's better to think about her sons if you have this kung fu, "Changzhi doesn't know where to go." ”

Zhou Shuren's gaze took his eyes off the book, "They traveled lightly, and now they are halfway there." ”

Zhulan, "I want to go back and see." ”

"If it's not dangerous in the future, let's go back and see."

As for Zhishi, he should not be able to move.

Zhulan nodded, and then talked about the children at home, the two have been an old couple since they met, they have been worrying about a family for so many years, even if they are young, they are old, and the two are now the living state of the old couple, and most of the chats are about the children.

The mountain village in the northeast, when the evening came, Changzhi and his entourage rushed to the mountain village, found a family, and waited for the negotiation, the girl cleaned up the house, and Changzhi helped the lady get out of the carriage.

Changzhi said: "Be careful, the road is slippery." ”

Su Xuan looked at her feet by the light of the lantern, "I have already left early, I still miscalculated, the snow on the road is melting too fast, there is snow everywhere, this road is really difficult to walk." ”

Changzhi was also depressed, "It's almost half the way now, just endure it." ”

Su Xuan hummed and entered the house, it was the first time she was so old to sleep in such a hurry, although she was not squeamish, she couldn't stand it, sitting on the paved mat, a little unenergetic.

Then a woman came in from outside the house, and she came in and said, "We are eating, and my mother-in-law has asked me to ask if you need mutton, which has been newly killed today." ”

Su Xuan's listless eyes had a bit of a look, "If you want it, we want as much mutton as we want." ”

Zhang Sanni was happy in her heart, "Okay, please come with me." ”

The mother-in-law followed with a purse, and the mother-in-law asked, "Do you still have some fresh wild vegetables?" We all want it, yes, I heard the sound of chickens just now, do you sell the chickens at home? ”

Zhang Sanni paused, "I want to ask my mother-in-law." ”

Today's sheep was bitten by a wolf running down the mountain yesterday, and it was killed during the day when it was seen that it could not be raised, otherwise the family would not have killed, and it was going to be sold in the county, but it was getting late and preparing to go tomorrow, and the family came to borrow the guests.

An hour later, Su Xuan and the others had dinner, stewed mutton and chicken soup, and their hungry stomachs were finally full.

Early the next morning, Su Xuan and the others were ready to set off, and when they left, they bought some meat and food.

Jiang Sheng came out first, saw the doll standing under the eaves, the big one pulled the small one and looked at it curiously, turned around and entered the house with a smile, and went into the house to get a snack.

Changzhi followed, "Brother-in-law." ”

Jiang Sheng had already divided the dim sum among a few children, and said with a smile: "Changzhi, I'm a little like Jiang Du, it's the first time I've left them for so long." ”

Changzhi also wanted his son and daughter, so he walked over cautiously, "Fourth son, the carriage is ready, it's time for us to leave." ”

Changzhi nodded, turned to help his daughter-in-law get into the carriage, looked back at the woman standing under the eaves, and only felt familiar, but he couldn't remember getting into the carriage.

Zhang Sanni is daughter brought snacks to her, she just came out to say thank you, but she didn't expect to meet someone she knew, Zhou Changzhi, the fourth son of the Zhou family, for so many years, she thought she had forgotten, but she still remembered that she had never returned to her hometown, and now it is good to have children and daughters.

It's just that in a trance, it turned out to be the Zhou family, a team of carriages, and there were eight or nine guards alone.

The boy took his mother's hand, "Mother, what do you want?" ”

Zhang Sanni smiled, "Mother is thinking, Dongzi will study hard in the future." ”

The boy nodded, "Hmm." ”

In the capital, Zhulan sat in a carriage to go to Ninghou Mansion, passing by the burned mansion, the gate had already been demolished, there were still many soldiers standing guard outside the courtyard, and there were also many soldiers in the courtyard, who were divided into many teams to investigate the courtyard.

Zhulan arrived at Ninghou Mansion, and Rongchuan is also there today.

Xue Han took her mother's arm and said to Rong Chuan: "You go and do your job, I'll accompany my mother." ”

Rong Chuan saluted, "Mother, then I'll be busy." ”

Zhulan waited for Rong Chuan to leave before asking her daughter, "What is Rong Chuan busy with today?" ”

Xue Han didn't hide it, "Today, Rong Chuan is going to follow the prince on an errand." ”

Xue Han signaled that the mother-in-law and girl who followed behind him didn't need to follow, and only when she walked away did she continue in a low voice: "Mother, I heard my father-in-law and Rong Chuan say that the emperor wants to investigate the secret way." ”

Zhulan looked sideways at her daughter, "You eavesdropped?" ”

Xue Han shook his head, "No, when my father-in-law was chatting with Rong Chuan, I was always there, and they didn't avoid me, so I thought, this is my father-in-law wants to use me to spread the news to our family." ”

Zhulan thought that she could let the emperor investigate so thoroughly, obviously stimulated the emperor's nerves, and patted her daughter's hand, "I know." ”

Xue Han continued: "Rong Chuan secretly told me that the prince has a map of the entire capital in his hand, and there will be soldiers from the Beijing Guardian Battalion patrolling and searching the capital in the past few days, so I can buy more food, maybe the city will be closed in two days." ”

Zhulan twitched the corners of her mouth, the emperor and the prince really trust Rong Chuan, and yes, their own son and younger brother, but Rong Chuan's heart is towards the Zhou family, and he secretly told Xue Han, and he also hopes that the Zhou family will know that where is this son-in-law, it is a son!

Xue Han continued: "Mother, you can also buy more food." ”

Zhulan shook her head, "No, you Ninghou Mansion can buy more, but the Zhou family can't, it will cause a chain reaction." ”

She knew in advance that she didn't need to do too much.

Xue Han thought about it, "It's good that my mother knows it." ”

"Don't worry, there is enough food at home."

Xue Han burst out laughing, she almost ignored that her mother likes to hoard things, so there is nothing to worry about when she thinks about it.

Zhulan continued: "And the capital can't be chaotic, the supply of food will definitely be guaranteed, and you don't have to worry too much." ”

Xue Han nodded, "Hmm." ”

In the palace, Zhou Shuren and others went out of the palace, and met the Marquis Yao who entered the palace, Zhou Shuren looked at Yao Wenqi, Yao Wenqi already had some gray hair, carefully calculated, Yao Wenqi is not as old as him, it seems that he is still a few years younger, too, how old is Yao Zheyu.

But now, looking at Yao Wenqi, he looks similar to him, and this time I don't know how the emperor is going to toss Yao Wenqi.

Li Zhao wordlessly pushed Zhou Shuren, "Let's go." ”
