Chapter 401: Traces
Seeing this, the little girl was vaguely distressed Yang Nianzhi, it was a pity that she was a girl who gave her true feelings to her son......
"Then you might as well rest with me today, outside the door...... It's not easy to get out. Yang Nianzhi's eyes looked at the door, his expression was worried.
"Giving me a tofu seller for a long time with you will also make people suspicious." In the end, the little guy still grew up in the rivers and lakes all the year round, and he thinks about things more comprehensively than Yang Nianzhi.
"And where are you going?" Yang Nianzhi didn't know if it was curiosity or something else, but it was Gongzi's henchman.
"You don't have to worry about this, by the way, Childe said......" Before the little girl's voice fell, Yang Nianzhi poured a cup of tea and handed it forward.
"There are some things that you don't know, and I know it, so you don't have to use the name of a child. In the past few years in Yingchun Building, I have not stayed in vain. Yang Nianzhi's tone was light when he said this, but he didn't know if he was lying to himself or others.
The little guy didn't bother to care about this, so he arched his hand and slipped out the back door.
Quickly returned to the bamboo house, looking at this appearance, it should not have been discovered yet, and the maze that the former son had prepared for departure was activated.
This series of changes in the other courtyard, Xiao Jue, who was in the Shizi Mansion, didn't hear any news, but Xiao Jue, who was reviewing the folds, occasionally suppressed the anger between his eyebrows with some impatience.
"Master, the fifth master is invited." It was to lower his voice and not dare to look at the expression of the first master.
After a long time, Xiao Jue spoke, "Did you say anything?" ”
"This ...... The fifth master said that you will not know until you go. Today, this brow of despair was unconsciously wrinkled.
"I see." Xiao Jue's tone was slightly impatient, and the people heard it or not. After the person who returned came out of the study, he looked at the little man who came to deliver the message in the middle of the courtyard.
"Our master said, finish the work at hand and go over." It's for this sentence, and it's relatively polite.
When the little guy in the middle of the courtyard heard this, he didn't have any objections, after all, he had heard about the temper of the master inside these days.
"Thank you Brother Guard for the message, then the slave will go back first." After speaking, the little maid in the courtyard arched his hand and walked towards the door.
Every word and deed in the yard, Xiao Jue in the house listened to it. After finishing the last fold on his hand, he put down the pen and unconsciously rubbed his sore wrist.
When the door was opened, all the eyes of the people in the courtyard immediately looked at Xiao Jue.
"Look at what I do, didn't you say that the fifth master told me to drink tea? Let's go. Xiao Jue waved his hand and walked quickly towards the door.
Parking the car downstairs, Xiao Jue didn't know why, he unconsciously looked towards the west of the city, how did he feel a familiar figure just now, and walked towards the door?
It's thinking about it, and I think it's supposed to be my mistake. After all, it was a man, and his body shape didn't look like Yang Tingxiu's.
Unconsciously shook his head and brought up the distractions in his head. Looking at the carriage with the royal coat of arms parked on the side of the road, he asked the coachman, "Is your grandfather upstairs?" ”
"Yes, the fifth master has been here for a while, please go upstairs." The coachman respectfully stopped his carriage to the side, leaving an open space for the carriage of the Prince of the Prince's Mansion to stop.
Xiao Jue entered the teahouse, and as soon as he turned the corner, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. When I turned my head, there was no one on the second floor, and it was the first time I had seen such silence.
The most striking thing was the five princes sitting by the window looking downstairs, and the five princes turned their heads as Xiao Jue's footsteps approached.
"Ah Jue is late." The fifth prince looked at Xiao Jue who was walking towards him with a smile, raised his hand and poured a cup of tea himself, and put it in the position opposite him.
"Well, I just finished dealing with the folds in my hand, and when I saw that it was late, the fifth master wouldn't mind." Xiao Jue also had to be careless, but the five princes on the opposite side didn't mind anything.
Xiao Jue raised his hand and took a sip of tea, and secretly praised it, "Good tea." After speaking, Xiao Jue looked at the smiling Fifth Prince who had not spoken.
"The fifth prince called me this time, what's the matter?" Xiao didn't want to waste all his time here.
"What's the hurry, naturally there is good news to tell you." The fifth prince looked at Xiao Jue, who was a little annoyed on the other side, as if he really wanted to see the person on the other side, who had been expressionless, so angry.
"Okay, I'm not going to sell it this time. My men have found traces of Yang Tingxiu. After saying this, the five princes fixed their eyes and looked at Xiao Jue opposite.
I saw the emotions on his face change from shock to confusion and then to flatness. Although it was all a momentary thing, he was still able to capture it easily when he was a child in the royal family.
"Fifth Master, why do you have time to inquire about these things?"
"Isn't this thinking that when my right-hand man shares his worries? Although my father didn't say it these days, I was a little mindful that you were too loose in court politics. ”
The fifth prince told the truth, after all, he still had to rely on this ally to seize the throne, and that was because a woman wasted the country, which was really not worth it. 17
"The fifth master should also know that I don't have any big ambitions, I just want to live a good life with my insiders." Xiao Jue turned his gaze downstairs, looking at the people coming and going, and the passers-by walking back and forth, their expressions became a little warm.
"But Ah Jue, you should also know that at this time, it's not that you want to, but whether you can or not. The times are turbulent, where can a family live with peace of mind? ”
The words of the fifth prince can be said to poke directly at Xiao Jue's heart, having said that, he doesn't want Sheng Zi'an to become the fifth prince who can hold his handle.
Xiao Jue's thoughts to be considered, naturally the five princes on the other side also knew about it, but he also couldn't understand why Xiao Jue wanted to expose his weaknesses to himself so easily?
Is it to show weakness, or to let go of his vigilance that he will compete with himself for the storage position?
The reason for this is that the fifth prince didn't want to delve into it, because he wanted to believe that Xiao Jue just wanted to simply live with Sheng Zi'an.
The silence for a long time made the atmosphere between the two people a little solidified, Xiao Jue sighed slightly, and raised his head, "Fifth Master, I want to take sick leave for a while, I wonder if Fifth Master can do a favor in front of His Majesty?" ”
"Have you really figured it out?" The fifth prince was not worried about the damage to his power, but felt that Xiao Jue would withdraw from the court so easily, and the people behind him would definitely speculate everywhere.
"I'm too busy to take care of myself now, can't help it?" Xiao Jue sighed slightly.
"Okay, I'll take care of this for you." The words of the five princes can be described as very righteous, and Xiao Jue arched his hand at the moment.
"By the way, Yang Tingxiu is in Xiaoyao Valley now, I heard that he left in a hurry that night, I don't know if something happened." The fifth prince didn't say this to make Xiao Jue worried, but he was unwilling to hide the truth.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Xiao Jue's expression changed immediately. I stood up directly, because I was so excited that the stool fell to the side.
"Don't worry, maybe the valley lord asked him to go back for something." The fifth prince still thinks that things shouldn't be too bad, in case he scares himself when the time comes, and it won't be good if he really messes up.
"If there are more five masters, the minister will go home first."
"Well, slow down on the road, don't be in a hurry, scare yourself." The fifth prince was still a little worried. After all, Sheng Zi'an is Xiao's sweetheart.
At this time, it is easiest to think about it and mess with yourself, which really startles the snake, and I am afraid that this person may not be able to come back.
Looking at Xiao Jue's back, the subordinates beside the fifth prince stepped forward, "Master, should we continue to follow up on the situation over there?" ”
"Let's follow first, after all, Yang Tingxiu has a certain vigilance against Ah Jue, and it is not easy for us to attract attention when we go to investigate." Moreover, the five princes always felt that there was a certain strangeness in this matter.
Because when he found the clue of Xiaoyao Valley, the things behind it were too easy, as if someone deliberately exposed it to him.
But fortunately, it's all the truth, think about what it should be, someone who understands the situation.
Xiao Jue on the carriage frowned, and his mind kept recalling what the fifth prince had just told him.
The courtyard on the outskirts of the city suddenly had a resident, and the most important thing was that this person was still Yang Tingxiu's woman. But the strangest thing is that their people have not found out exactly where the woman has gone during this time?
"Master, but what are you worried about?"
"Do you think something really happened to An'er?"
"Master, just like the fifth master said, don't scare yourself, it's better for your subordinates to implement this matter." The subordinate who followed next to the carriage whispered.
"Implementation? What are your men? For such a long time, there is no clue at all in the Beijing suburb courtyard, am I the prefect raising a group of wasters? ”
The carriage slowly stopped in a relatively quiet place, and his subordinates knelt beside the carriage at the moment, "Master forgive me." ”
Xiao Jue was too excited about his emotions, and he eased his mind at the moment, "Go ahead." ”
"Yes." The subordinates breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, the master did not continue to blame, otherwise they would have to have a meal after returning home today.
Soon, Xiao Jue's henchmen came to the door of Yang Nianzhi's courtyard, and looked at a group of old men who were dozing off, and his temper came instantly.
"The master told you to stare there, what are you doing?"
"Chief, I'm ...... We looked at it, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. The leader of the dark guard at the head replied to his henchmen, but somehow there was always some weakness in his tone.
"Really? Is it difficult that someone hasn't been in for a long time in the middle? ”
"No ......" Before the dark guard finished speaking, he suddenly thought, "There was a tofu seller in the middle, but nothing unusual." ”
