Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Same Person?
Danyang was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, it was already clear seven or eight.
Probably, there is progress in yesterday's murder, or where the princess's mansion needs help.
The previous life didn't know about it, it should be because she didn't interfere with the housekeeper. In addition, just after the murder occurred yesterday, she tried her best to stop the soldiers who came to search for her, so I asked to see her by name today.
Could it be that the person who asked to see him was also the lieutenant general of the Royal Forest Army who came to search for him yesterday, General Hong Zehong?
While thinking like this, Danyang nodded and commanded:
"Take the person to the front hall and serve tea."
Since the ankle injury had not healed, she had risen early to get rid of the moths, and the medicine was still hot on the stove.
And she inexplicably had a hunch that the two people who came to the door this time would probably not be so easy to deal with. It's useless to have breakfast now, so it's better to wait for her to eat and drink enough, and then deal with it.
Thinking of this time, Danyang waved his hand to stop his shoulder, turned his head sideways, and raised his voice to call the gatekeeper.
"Wait! In addition to the normal hospitality, remember to prepare two more breakfasts and send them together. Well, pick the portion and fill it up. ”
The porter bowed down, and when he hurriedly went to do the errand as instructed, Danyang also turned his head and went home with peace of mind, enjoying a short rest.
————
Hong Ze and Han Qinglan were outside the gate of the princess's mansion, and after waiting for a while, they were put into the door by the porter.
"The two military masters are here, please, and the county lord of my family asks the two of you to wait in the flower hall."
Before the words landed, there was already a neatly dressed little guy, who stepped forward to respectfully lead the way for the two.
Because they came to the door so early, they were still looking for someone else's little girl, and they were not directly turned away, and the two were very sober, so they naturally had no objection to this arrangement.
The two of them followed behind the little maid and walked into the door of the princess's mansion.
It's just that Hong Ze didn't take a few steps, and he deliberately pulled away, and the distance in front of the passer-by.
After turning two more corners, and taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he immediately opened his mouth and asked in a low voice:
"I said, what kind of wind are you kid smoking today?! It's not like it's good......"
Hong Ze said, while looking at the six roads and listening to the eight directions, he continued to say in a lower voice:
"When we all find out the results, will we meet at the place of the crime? On my side, nothing has been done! ”
But although he has not completed Han Qinglan's explanation, he was pulled out of the bed by Han Qinglan this morning and directly "escorted" to the princess's mansion.
"Could it be that you made some breakthrough yesterday? Or did you find any clues? ”
The more Hong Ze asked, the more his eyes lit up.
Because the two of them are fast on the road, not to mention that they don't have time to speak, even if there is, what he wants to ask can't be on the street, so he can announce it at will!
What's more, he is still wearing a guilty body at the moment, and he must try to be as cautious as possible in his words and deeds, so as not to cause more trouble.
It's not all for himself, it's more for the sake of being able to give an explanation to his subordinates who died in vain.
Han Qinglan has been friends with Hong Ze for many years, so she can naturally guess what he thinks.
It's just that at the moment, he can't really talk about his thoughts, his reckless and too straightforward brother.
Therefore –
“…… Ahem, I remember that you mentioned yesterday that when you searched the princess's mansion, you were rude to the county lord in the mansion? ”
Hong Ze was separated by a sentence and didn't react for a while. I could only nod my head in a daze, and said "ah".
Seeing this, Han Qinglan immediately stroked her palms and shook her head and sighed:
"Hey, that's right! Brother, I also woke up this morning and suddenly remembered. ”
What he said made Hong Ze more and more confused.
A pair of big eyes like copper bells, almost glaring out of their sockets.
"What did you suddenly remember? Besides, isn't the basket that I made my own decisions without orders before bigger than this? What's there to be nervous about this little thing? ”
Thinking of a possibility, Hong Ze instantly felt that he had been tricked by Han Qinglan.
"Hey, I'm talking about you kid. Are you in such a hurry to drag me to the Princess's Mansion because of this little thing that is a little big sesame?! ”
Seeing that Hong Ze was about to go crazy, Han Qinglan hooked her lips and smiled, raised her hand and patted the other party's shoulder, pulled the person closer to her side, and whispered in her ear:
"Tut, brother, you don't understand this. The so-called 'Hades is better, but the little ghost is difficult', if you search the princess's mansion and offend the real owner of this mansion, the eldest princess, then everything is easy to say. ”
"But do you know that the most unoffended people in this mansion, no, it should be said that these famous daughters in Beijing, who can't be offended the most?"
Hong Ze was infected by the heavy atmosphere in Han Qinglan's words, and his heart tightened inexplicably for a moment, and he replied in a low voice:
"Could it be, this Danyang County Lord? But I looked at the little girl, although she was younger, she was responsible, courageous, and organized, and knew the righteousness. ”
When Han Qinglan heard this comment, she almost thought for a moment that he, a good brother, was not the same person as herself.
Not to mention, how arrogant the rumored Danyang county lord in Beijing is. It was the one he saw with his own eyes a day ago who was so bold that he climbed a tree and climbed over a wall; Ignoring the manners, words and deeds of the ladies - including the seemingly unconcealed recklessness, sneaking into the private room of the prince of Anyang behind his back to steal, and then even digging into the dog hole in order to escape for his life......
The county lord of Danyang he knows is really the same person who has been praised again and again by Hong Ze? !
However, if courage is equated with recklessness, it may really be regarded as the leader of the ladies in Beijing, and it may not be said.
Because of the moments that passed in his mind, that day, openly and secretly, and those things that he experienced together with the county lord of Danyang, Han Qinglan couldn't hold back the tense atmosphere he deliberately created for a moment, and burst out laughing.
Fortunately, the flower hall was close in front of him, and the moment he lost his temper, he immediately lowered his head and coughed lightly, and the little guy who led the way in front also happened to turn around and bowed to the two of them and said:
"Two, please wait a moment here. Refreshments are waiting for guests and will be delivered shortly. If you two have any requests, the villain will be waiting outside the hall. ”
After this interruption, Hong Ze and Han Qinglan were not good at "whispering" again.
By mistake, it can be regarded as relieving Han Qinglan.
And the two sat down, and sure enough, there were servants and maids who came in, bringing hot tea, cakes and other things into the flower hall one after another.
However, the things that were normal hospitality in front of them gradually made the two guests in the hall stunned.
If it is said that the princess's mansion is hospitable and thoughtful, and the two of them come to the door early in the morning, and they don't need to pad their stomachs early, the appetizing porridge and side dishes are enough, who would think about it......
Crystal big hooves, roast chicken, roast duck, steamed buns, all of which are tempting delicacies filled with delicate dishes, exude a fragrant aroma that makes people salivate.
But it's still just morning!
So much, a feast of big fish and meat, who can eat it?
Could it be that the princess's mansion thinks that the two of them came to the princess's mansion to fight the autumn breeze after not eating for a few days?
