A group of civil and military officials dusted their sleeves, saying that they were chasing the past, but few of them really had sadness on their faces. However, in the end, he hung two or three points of solemnity on his face, and with three or two drops of rain falling from the sky, he finally did not let the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers sound the atmosphere of a happy event.

Hearing the emperor and Xiangguo laughing, it was inevitable that they would come over and echo one or two, and it was said that the young master of the Huo family would be healed in a few days, so there was no need to worry. There is an invitation for the Huo family, although the Tao did not protect the side of the Son of Heaven today, but the royal forest guard in Beijing is trained by Huo Yunsheng with one hand, and he dares to take the opportunity to make trouble.

This is a big deal, and no one even jumped out to refute it openly. The ceremonial official read a long string of words in his mouth, and the priest and singer juggled in turn, and the gossip was dispersed in a blink of an eye. No one thought about Wei Long's implication, "Don't think that Huo Yunsheng can do something behind my back, I'll see", and no one considered what Huo Zhun said in his mouth, "Emperor, don't worry, what can my son do?"

After all, Wei Long was really worried about Huo Yunsheng's condition, and he was really a little panicked. Huo Zhun also honestly led the hundred officials to bow three times and knock nine times, which was really a state of submission.

The person who did the work in the Jiang Mansion called Zha Yan, and it went smoothly, Huo Zhun took a sip of tea when he returned to the house with his front foot, and the person in charge of the back foot came up and whispered a few words in his ear, and when he stepped back, his face was full of embarrassment. Huo Zhun was also incredulous for a moment after hearing this, then frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "What about people?" ”

"The little one didn't dare to slack off, so I invited him to the room and let the brothers of the Yu family watch it."

The steward's words were already frightened first, Huo Zhun put aside the tea bowl and said, "Bring it up." He is not more cautious than Jiang Hong, Huo Mansion has been an unsightly thing in the past few years, if the people on his side are not clean, how can he still stretch his hand to Hudi.

Therefore, there is no need to cross the street to the inner room like a rat, so he generously put this front hall to meet guests. The reason in charge has already been explained, it is nothing more than someone came to pass the message, Hu Renna had some problems, and asked Huo Zhun to go in person. It's not far away, it's in Beijing.

But how far-fetched is this matter, not to mention that all the people in Xianbei have already left Beijing with Huo Yunsheng, even if there are those who stay, they have to discuss something more, this person has come in, and he can't bring a letter? Or just talk about it in Huo Mansion, just take the words back, why bother making such a big detour.

If Xue Ling is replaced, he may not be able to arrange it perfectly, but the people in Jingzhong, this kind of thing has been done a lot, and the reason is that it has been prepared well as long ago, and he pretended to hesitate as the person in charge stood in front of Huo Zhun, and looked around first, indicating that he did not dare to speak casually.

Huo Zhun slowly covered the tea bowl and said, "Where did you listen to the traitor's slander and dare to frame the old man." Now 1510 is still a whole corpse, if not..."He raised his head sharply, his eyes wide with rage.

Just as he was about to continue, Cha Yan knelt on the ground, as if he had been frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Huo, the villain is just a messenger, just a messenger." If you say anything wrong, it was all taught by that person, and it was taught by that person. ”

As he spoke, he slammed his head on the ground. Huo Zhun and the steward glanced at each other, and waited for a long time before shouting: "Excuse me, let's talk about the experience first, if the big mistake is not successful, I can still intercede for you." ”

Cha Yan took out two silver tickets from his arms, climbed to Huo Zhun with both hands, and shouted to the sky: "That person gave me two thousand taels of silver, saying that as long as I bring a message to Huo's house, please go to Lord Xiangguo, and give me another two thousand taels when the matter is completed." What Hu people, what seal letters, he taught me. I said that my lord would know when I heard it, and maybe he would give me a benefit, but my lord, I don't know anything. ”

The steward came up and drew the silver ticket, and stepped aside. This man came to the house at sunset, and he was arrested by the next man in a blink of an eye. He was still restless when he was arrested, and he was clamoring to see Master Huo. This trouble naturally came to him. Originally, he was going to be a madman and go out, but who knew that he took out the handkerchief and stamped a seal.

Although the steward couldn't distinguish the authenticity of this sealed letter, he didn't dare to let Cha Yan take it out and shake it again. But this person's bearing is obviously just a small person. He detained the person in the backyard, arranged a few people to beat and scare him first, understood the general situation, and when Huo Zhun came back, he threw the person in front of Huo Zhun.

Huo Zhun seemed to be moved by the investigation of Yan, eased his tone, and said, "To be more detailed, how does the Lord make people get acquainted with you?" ”

Cha Yan said: "The villain is a Hu businessman, the master often comes to take care of my business, today he was quite anxious to break in, and he seems to be injured, so he first asked me to help him." I heard that I was going to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the little one didn't dare, and I was helpless...". He reluctantly glanced at the silver ticket in the steward's hand with a side face before continuing: "He said that the right should be a business, and four thousand taels of silver will buy me to lead the way." ”

He began to kowtow again: "My lord, it is the little ghost who has lost his mind, is greedy for money and forgets his righteousness, beg the adult to let the little one go back, and the little one will not dare anymore." ”

This matter made sense, and Brigadier Huo leaned back. There have always been Tuoba milling people in Beijing who pretended to be Hu merchants to make a living, probably something went wrong, so they looked for help. And his companion followed Huo Yunsheng back to Xianbei, and when he couldn't find anyone available, he spent a lot of money to buy a greedy businessman to deliver a message, which was also smart.

It's just that he has the guts of a big dog, and he dares to find him Huo Zhun on his own initiative.

He waved his hand, and the steward lifted Zha Yan up, took it aside, and said, "What else did that person explain, don't leave a word out", looking at Zha Yan's eyes with the silver ticket in his hand, he simply stuffed it back into Zha Yan's clothes.

Zha Yan stopped shaking in an instant, his tongue was no longer knotted, and he said: "He said that if you want to cure the illness of the eldest young master of the Huo family, you should ask Lord Xiangguo to go in person, and others can't believe it." If you don't go, you .........." He lowered his head, clutched his hand to his chest, and did not continue.

Huo Zhun was not angry, firstly, because Cha Yan was cringe, and there was no threat, and he also knew that he was casually deceiving this idiot to pass on the message, which was not true. But since Huo Yunsheng was mentioned, he couldn't help but think about whether there was something wrong on the way to Ningcheng.

Huo Zhun said: "You said that person was injured?" ”

Cha Yan didn't raise his head, his hands were still rubbing up and down on his chest, full of poor ghosts, and said casually: "I haven't seen this little one, I just feel that he is not as good as before.... ..... like that" He finally stopped, looked up at Huo Zhun, his facial features were wrinkled because of the difficulty, as if he couldn't find a suitable adjective, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "It's not as posture as before....."

Huo Zhun also looked at him and said, "Where does he want you to lead me?" ”

The steward's great knowledge and interest said: "My family is .....", thinking that he wanted to say a few nonsense words to cover up Huo Zhun's relationship with the Hu people, Huo Zhun raised his hand, and he immediately stopped his mouth again.

Cha Yan glanced back at the steward, and then replied flatteringly: "As for the Fulu Pavilion on West Fourth Street, don't you know, my lord, his family has been secretly reselling the good things that the Hu people have bought, and a piece of skin has to be called the price of a thousand gold, if you ....."

Huo Zhun raised his eyes and moved his gaze to the steward, as soon as he saw Huo Zhun's movements, he quickly stopped his mouth, gave himself a mouth casually, and stopped talking stupidly, he turned his back to the steward, naturally he couldn't see the steward and Huo Zhun nodded his head relative to each other.

Fulu Pavilion, this is the name of Beijing, and in the mouth of the Hu people, it is the Fulu who shouts. The blue wolf and white deer have always been the auspicious rui of the Hu people. It is unknown whether this place is a hidden stake of Xianbei in Beijing, but a few Xianbei people who traveled with Huo Yunsheng did settle in Fulu Pavilion when they were in Beijing.

Huo Zhun can't be meticulous, so he can't be sure about this kind of trivial matter for a while, but the person in charge is very clear, and as soon as the two of them confirmed, they concluded that what Cha Yan said was the truth. On the Xianbei side, there must be something wrong.

Even if this is a bureau, the person who set up the bureau knows everything about the Huo family's dealings with Xianbei, no matter how you look at it, you have to go, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Does that person have to explain that the old man must go alone?" ”

Cha Yan was stunned at first, as if he didn't expect Huo Zhun to ask like this, and then tilted his head as if trying to think about it, and then shook his head like a rattle, and said: "That's not it, he said that as long as the adults go, even if I do it." Before he finished speaking, he gasped again as if he had bitten his tongue, as if he was annoyed that he had not separated from the silver for three sentences.

The hall was silent for a while, and then he suddenly remembered something, and said: "He said that the people around the adults are not credible, so he told you to pay attention to it and don't bring a scourge, and said that he would not go tonight, Master Huo...... God... Immortals are hard to save". After speaking, he rubbed his hands, lowered his voice and said, "My lord... You.... But you want me to lead the way.... That's the place.... I often go.... I'm very familiar with ....... ”

Huo Zhun furrowed his eyebrows a little after frowning all night, waved his hand, and motioned to the steward to take Cha Yan down. Cha Yan was not frightened, and shouted again and again: "The adult is wise, the small one should not be able to lead the way for you, please let the small one go...", suddenly I don't know if the person in charge has done anything, and the begging for mercy stopped abruptly, and honestly let people drag it away.

At this time, it was just nightfall, and it was the beginning of the day. West Fourth Street, where Fulu Pavilion is located, is not far from the Huo family's mansion, and it can run back and forth in half an hour. The steward dragged Cha Yan into the house, first ordered someone to run to the West Fourth Street of Fulu Pavilion, and then came back to follow Huo Zhun to wait.

Huo Zhun never spoke, picked up the important things at hand and dealt with them first, and waited until the person sent by the steward to explore the way came back, and asked a few words.

Everything on West Fourth Street is as usual, and there is nothing wrong with it. Fulu Pavilion also closed early, and the people of the Huo family turned in and walked around, only a few night vigilers were in the back hall guarding the fire and roasting some snacks and eating, and there was no word to talk about the water in the store today.

Further inside, a lone candle was burning in a side room, and someone was lying on the bed. Sniff carefully, there is a slight smell of blood and medicinal powder in the air, and people who are not used to seeing blood basically can't smell it. Huo Fu sent to do things carefully, and deliberately made a little noise, but the person on the bed still didn't move. The combination of the two boxes, the injury seems to be true.

Hearing such a reply, the steward looked at Huo Zhun and said, "My lord......." ”

Huo Zhun was more stable, compared to what happened to Hu Ren, he was more afraid that someone would set up a situation. With such a big hand, in addition to Wei Long, the first person in Beijing to think about it is not a second person.

But the emperor wanted to trick him into going and move down the Huo family on the charge of Tonghu, at least he had to be a thief to take the stolen goods, first fill in something more in the Fulu Pavilion, and then surround the West Fourth Street, and when he Huo Zhun arrived, he opened his throat and shouted, he had to jump into the Yellow River to wash it away.

However, this method is risky, Wei Long may have a small number of henchmen, but the number of people is obviously not enough to deploy layers of defense on West Fourth Street, unless he mobilizes the Imperial Forest Guard. And the Imperial Forest Guard is still a good chess piece in the hands of the Huo family, and if there is really a movement, it will not even leak out a rumor.

There is only one half-dead lying in the Fulu Pavilion, even if he is a Hu man, he is caught, Huo Zhun can also say that he is putting a long line to drop the big fish, there is no other evidence, what does Wei Long really want, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public.

After thinking about it, he dispelled most of his suspicions about Wei Long. As for the people on the side, listening to the meaning of Cha Yan, the lord made it to emphasize the eldest young master of the Huo family again and again, obviously knowing that Huo Yunsheng was out of Beijing, since this is the case, if you really want to attack the Huo family, it is better to hurry into the palace to face the saint, and let Wei Long send a few people to the suburbs of Beijing to get people faster.

So at present, it seems that there is not much doubt about this person. And Huo Yunsheng's side, in order to prevent Wei Long from rushing back in time, so he was slow on the day of departure, and it is estimated that he has not run out of a hundred miles yet. And Huo Zhun knew that Tuoba Milling was more anxious than himself, and something really happened to him, this idiot would never be so slow to report the news by himself.

Therefore, he was not very worried, and concluded that this matter was consistent with what he had thought before, and it should be that the Xianbei people had encountered some trouble in Beijing, and wanted to use the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion to resolve one or two. Although Huo Zhun was polite to Tuoba Milling, he actually didn't like to deal with the Hu people very much, so he was a little entangled in whether to go or not.

However, in the current situation, he is still counting on letting Tuoba Mill drag the Shen family in the future. So even if you don't go tonight, tomorrow night, sooner or later you'll have to go. Who let this kind of thing ride a tiger, whether it is good or not, God knows if the fool of Fulu Pavilion will affect the Huo family's plans.

After hesitating for a while, I still made up my mind to go. The so-called sending charcoal in the snow can earn some friendship. It's really Xianbei who is in a hurry, and he can also take the opportunity to keep a little more back by helping. But Huo Zhun was cautious, afraid that the Fulu Pavilion would deliberately play out of the empty city, and he would explain to the steward a few more times.

The Huo family could only suffer this suffering, and walked around West Fourth Street several times, reported it once every half an hour, and went back and forth four or five times, and dragged it until more than half of the hour, Huo Zhun said: "It's just that, find two people to go with me." ”

In the dead of night, the road was too peaceful, and the Huo family's carriage didn't even meet a patrolling night guard. The steward took four or five people to follow him from a distance, and then walked to the front and went to the Fulu Pavilion to explore again, and then retreated after confirming that it was still normal.

There are many people and miscellaneous things, and they all stay here, which attracts attention. Huo Zhun followed closely, and he was also a good hand in the house, and he would never be unable to stop anyone lying on the bed.

What's more, he also had a fire smoke pipe on him that summoned the Imperial Forest Guard, and as soon as he threw it out, Fang Yuan's people with silver had to come around. When the time comes, it will only be said that Huo Xiangsan will not stop, work hard in the middle of the night, and enter the thief's den alone. This kind of thing is to be written in the book for eternity.

So no matter how you look at it, this trip to the dark room is a disappointment, and for Huo Zhun, there shouldn't be any problems.
