The county lord of Wanyang and Wen resigned in the afternoon.

Wen Yan went out earlier than Wen Ci.

Ebony lightly stepped over the courtyard wall, walked gracefully, made sure that no one was squatting in the alley today, and meowed at Wen Yan in the courtyard.

The old lady heard it and asked in a low voice: "A few days ago, I was still loading a merchant and a mother-in-law, how can I be so quiet today." ”

"Xu thought things were stable," Wen Yan thought for a moment and said, "She has always been conceited. ”

The old lady nodded thoughtfully.

Wen Yan took the old lady, walked through the main gate, and left Yanzi Hutong in a sedan chair.

Because of the ebony watching, Wen Yan was not afraid of being followed, so he went around to Xihua Hutong, walked around the courtyard, and when he came out again, he had already changed into men's clothes.

The old lady also changed her body, and she took out her fan and slapped it at Ebony.

Ebony slapped the fan, baring her teeth, looking unpleasant to see this thing.

The old lady laughed.

Wen Yan and the old lady went to the teahouse before noon to eat tea and eat melon seeds.

It wasn't until the afternoon that there was any movement in the private room next door.

While Xiao Er was sending food over there, the old lady secretly glanced inside, turned around and said to Wen Yan: "The maid next to the county lord, the little one recognizes her." ”

"Didn't you see the county lord?" Wen Yan asked.

The old lady shook her head: "No." ”

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, at the appointed time, Wen Ci also arrived at the teahouse.

Wen Ci followed Xiao Er up the stairs, took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

He didn't panic.

After discussing it yesterday, he knew that Wen Yan would go next door in advance, and the fourth prince's men would also follow him in the dark, so as not to make the county lord suddenly change his mind and not let him come to the teahouse, so that he could not inform Wen Yan.

The door creaked open, and Wen Ci stepped in, and there was only a familiar maid inside.

Wen Ci asked, "Hasn't the county lord arrived yet?" ”

The maid said: "The county lord has already gone first, Uncle Wen will go with the slave maid." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wen Ci didn't close the door, but opened it directly, and said, "Where did the county lord go?" ”

"It's not far from here," said the maid, "and it's called the Little General's Place."

The county lord likes to watch cockfights and crickets, and it is said that going to the general's square is the most lively, but you always say that you don't want to go there, for fear that the sons there will recognize your identity, and turn back to the ears of Lord Wen, which will make Lord Wen dissatisfied.

In fact, there are a lot of official sons like you, and everyone is not good at going to the general's workshop to show up, so there is a small general's workshop secretly.

The place is not big, the county lord has arranged it first, you can rest assured, there is no one who is here today. ”

After saying this, the maid saw a little hesitation and hesitation on Wen Ci's face, and she continued to persuade: "You are only free to come out with the county lord during the monthly vacation, you should satisfy her, but it is just to watch a cockfight cricket, it will not take an hour before and after, if you can't see it, you can talk to the county lord yourself." The county lord has been waiting for a long time, if you refuse to go, it will hurt her heart......"

Wen Ci's brows furrowed and loosened, and he sighed for a while: "Then go, you lead the way." ”

The maid smiled happily, threw a piece of broken silver on the table, and led Wen Ci away.

Before going downstairs, Wen Ci glanced at the private room where Wen Yan was located, and his steps were not slow.

The door of the private room opened a crack, and the conversation next door just now made the old lady overhear it clearly.

She puffed out her cheeks and tilted her head to recall: "Master, why do you think of the little one, this trick is a little familiar?" ”

"Don't be familiar," Wen Yan stood up and tapped the old lady's forehead lightly with his fingertips, "You have done this job and be a maid to guide the way." ”

The old lady suddenly realized, stroked her palms and said, "I see." ”

She got on the "fake" flower boat for Wen Yan in the ferry pit, and also led Huo Yixiao to board the "real" flower boat for Wen Yan.

She was familiar with the job.

"Master," the old lady asked, "where Uncle went, is it true or not?" ”

Wen Yan chuckled: "False." ”

The old lady blinked, wanting to ask why.

Wen Yan didn't explain, opened the door and followed.

With the temperament of the county lord of Wanyang, she will not play with Wen Ci to put a long line and catch big fish, she wants to produce results as soon as possible.

After making so much effort, she must have wanted to kill Wen Ci directly.

It's just that in the little general's workshop, for the first time in his life, he fights a cricket and a chicken, unless he fights a lawsuit for his life, or loses his family, otherwise, Wen Ci will be chased and beaten by Wen Zifu at most, and he will not hurt his muscles and bones at all.

The income is too small, which is not in line with the character of the county lord of Wanyang, who insists on being a big name.

If there is really a life lawsuit, don't care if it's a small general's workshop or a big general's workshop, all of them will be unlucky, and it will not only be Wen Ci who is implicated.

Even the county lord of Wanyang himself couldn't please him.

It's not cost-effective to pit yourself into it.

Nine times out of ten, the county lord has other tricks.

Wen Yan took the old lady with him, and followed Wen Ci not far or near.

The two of them were dressed in men's clothes, and they looked like the sons and servants of the merchants, and they were not at all conspicuous.

Rao was walking on Dongqing Street, where people came and went, and no one paid attention to them.

Ebony walked on the roof, condescending, it could see far, and naturally follow farther, so as not to be discovered by someone in broad daylight.

Wen Ci followed the maid around the corner, entered an alley, and walked to the end, and the maid knocked on the door of a house.

She turned her head and said to Wen: "The little general's workshop is hidden, pass through the back door of this house, and you will arrive." ”

Inside the door, a small servant came out to greet him, and he looked Wen Ci up and down: "This guest ......"

The maid glared at him: "The guests brought by the county lord, what are you worried about?" ”

The little guy even claimed yes and gave way.

Wen Ci entered the courtyard.

The maid smiled and said, "The slave maid went to invite the county lord, and Uncle Wen waited." ”

After speaking, the little maid went all the way to the backyard, and the little maid asked Wen Ci to sit down at the stone table and bring tea.

Wen Ci took it and drank slowly.

They had previously analyzed that although the county lord of Wanyang might have various drugs with unknown effects in his hands, she would not use them against Wen.

If the county lord wants to poison Wen Ci, he doesn't have to be so complicated at all.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.

Wen Ci took advantage of the effort of wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, and quietly vomited it all again.

On the trees outside the house, under the cover of the leafy branches, Ebony observed the situation in the house.

This house does have a back door, but it doesn't lead to any small general's place, but Dongqing Street, which connects them to it.

The alley at the main entrance is quiet, and the Dongqing Street at the back gate is lively.

The maid hid behind the moon cave door that connected the back room, and kept observing Wen Ci's reaction.

Behind her stood a young woman and a woman.

Other than that, there was no one else in the yard.

Wen Ci sat upright and asked the little guy, "When will the county lord come over?" ”

"It should be soon." The little servant replied while adding tea to Wen Ci.

Wen Ci smiled, and quickly raised his eyes to the tall trees outside the wall.

There was a twig that shook up and down three times unusually.

He pressed his eyebrows and collapsed on the stone table.
