Chapter 607: Letter
Ancient lady? Is it the messenger of Xiao Rui's biological mother, Aunt Li?
Xie Mulin reacted quickly and glanced at his brother and sister.
Xie Xianzhi didn't hear anything, and there was a concerned expression on his face: "Is something wrong?" But there's new news from the shopkeeper Mao? Xie Mulin has been in charge of contacting people in the business such as Shopkeeper Mao recently, and it is natural for him to think so.
But Xie Yinghui sat closer, and vaguely heard Cuijiao's words, but she was puzzled: "Gu Niangzi? Who is it? ”
Xie Mulin coughed lightly, not understanding what Gu Niangzi was doing when she came to the door at this time? Today is not a New Year's Day, and it is not her birthday, Gu Niangzi came over specially, could it be that there is any news from Xiao Rui's side? But this kind of thing, she was embarrassed to tell her brother and sister directly, so she could only say: "It's an acquaintance, occasionally help me inquire about some news or something, I don't know why she came, let's go see it first." ”
Xie Xianzhi hurriedly agreed, and asked: "The second sister asked someone to inquire about her father, right?" I just don't know if this ancient lady has a way to contact the other side of Beiping. ”
Xie Mulin could only laugh dryly: "The eldest brother and the eldest sister should take a rest first, it's almost lunch time." We continued to talk after eating, and the letter from Beiping did not come for a day, so it was useless for us to be in a hurry. ”
Xie Xianzhi sighed and said to Xie Yinghui: "The words of the second sister also make sense. Your injuries are not yet healed, so let's go back to the house and rest. What's the matter, I will discuss it with my second sister, you don't have to worry too much, just rest assured that you can recuperate. ”
Xie Yinghui said: "Brother's words are too contemptuous. Even the second girl can share the worries of the family, why can I only go back to the house to recuperate as the eldest sister? My injuries were almost healed, and they didn't bother at all. ”
Xie Mulin threw away the two brothers and sisters who were arguing there, and went to the flower hall to see the ancient lady. Speaking of which, this is the first time that Gu Niangzi has officially visited the door, Xie Mulin couldn't help but feel a little furious in his heart, for fear that something happened to Xiao Rui, so Gu Niangzi came in such a hurry.
When they met, Gu Niangzi didn't show any anxious expression, her expression was calm, and she was dressed as decently as always. Probably because it was not the first time she had met, she didn't say too many polite words, after meeting Xie Mulin, they sat down, Cuijiao served tea, ran to the door to guard, and Gu Niangzi directly said what she meant.
It turned out that Xiao Rui had already had the intention of going north to the border army to seek military merits, and he also knew that he couldn't expect help from his family, so he could only make up his mind from the familiar Yanwangfu, so he sent his henchmen to Beiping early to be responsible for contacting and inquiring about relevant news. When he got the position he wanted in the Yanwang Mansion, someone could quickly provide him with all kinds of information to help him settle down in his new position as soon as possible, take over the relevant military affairs smoothly, and open up the situation.
This henchman who was sent out, it is said that he was also on an errand under Xiao Mingzhu, the aunt and grandmother of the Xiao family who died early, and he is very familiar with Aunt Li Yaozhi's colleagues, and naturally knows His Royal Highness King Yan, who once married Xiao Mingzhu, and Princess Yan, who has been a good friend with Xiao Mingzhu for many years. He went to Beiping, and soon became familiar with the people of Yanwangfu, and also bought some small industries there, and lived a good life, and from time to time went to Yanwangfu to ask for peace, and made friends with people in the palace, and the news was quite well-informed. Lazy people listen to books
Xiao Rui got a new appointment letter before the first month, and went directly north to the border army, and he needed to report to Beiping in advance to visit King Yan. His henchmen had already received the letter, and he would also send all kinds of latest news from Beiping to the south as soon as possible and send it to him, so that he could keep abreast of the situation in Beiping and everything would go smoothly after entering the city.
Xiao Rui received this letter on the way north, so he naturally knew the news that Xie Pu was attacked and injured. He knew that Xie Mulin would be concerned about his father's situation, so he immediately wrote a handwritten letter and ordered an entourage to return to the capital immediately to deliver the letter. At that time, he didn't know that Xie Mulin would stay in the capital because of his eldest sister's injury, he just wanted to count the days, Xie Mulin had already returned to Huyin's hometown, so he asked people to hand over the letter to Aunt Li, and Aunt Li sent someone else to send it to Huyin. But after the letter reached Aunt Li's hand, she naturally knew that Xie Mulin was still in the capital, so she immediately asked Gu Niangzi to be a messenger.
Gu Niangzi took out a thick letter from her sleeve and offered it on both sides: "We don't know if the house has heard the news, but our master specially instructed that this letter should be delivered to the girl as soon as possible, and we dare not delay." When the messenger entered the city last night, our aunt summoned me to the general's house this morning, and I came to the girl's house as soon as I left the house. ”
Xie Mulin pressed his chest, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say. The three of them were worried about this, but they didn't expect Xiao Rui to send a letter immediately. Thinking that he was still halfway at the moment, and had not yet arrived in Beiping, as soon as he heard the news, he immediately tried to inform her, which was really heartfelt. She was so grateful in her heart.
Xie Mulin said words of thanks, quickly took the letter, whispered a word of rudeness, and opened the letter carefully.
Xiao Rui directly said the information he knew at the beginning of the letter, and did not say anything else.
According to the rumors that his henchman heard in Yanwang's Mansion, Xie Pu should have been attacked on the way to see the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival. At that time, he traveled in micro-clothes, and only brought a few guards and subordinates, which can be said to be a light car. Probably because he trusted the political envoy he served in his ability to manage civil affairs, he didn't think about any danger.
He has never brought his family to work, and he is diligent in his office, unless he is entertaining, he basically does not go to some entertainment and consumption places, at most he eats a simple meal outside, or goes to drink tea and chat with three or two friends, and almost does not go out after dark. The Japanese Festival coincided with a lively lantern festival in Beiping City, and his colleagues advised him not to miss it, so he took a few entourages to the street.
Then walking around, he was impatient that there were too many people around, turned into an alley, found a tea stall to sit and rest, and soon saw from a distance that King Yan and his daughter also appeared at the lantern festival, surrounded by a circle of palace guards in civilian clothes. When he wanted to step forward to say hello and persuade King Yan not to wear the white dragon fish suit, the attack came.
Although he was in a relatively secluded alley at the time, there was a lively street not far in front of him, and there were stall owners and two other tea customers on the tea stall behind him. The gangsters would attack him in such a place, and he was quite surprised, and he couldn't react for a while, and he was stabbed in the arm. Fortunately, the Xie family's guards were loyal and pulled him away in time, so that he could avoid the catastrophe of a broken arm. The guards immediately fought with the attackers, and then saw that they were in danger, and King Yan, who also ordered his guards to come to the rescue, and it didn't take long for Xie Pu to escape.
It's just that he was a weak reader, and his feet were unstable when he dodged, and he fell down, and the fall was not light. Afterwards, the doctor of Yanwangfu came to treat him, saying that he had crutches and needed some time to take care of him. As for the knife on his arm, it was just a shallow cut, a flesh wound, it looked terrible, but it didn't matter, he took the golden medicine, bandaged it again, and the bleeding would soon stop, and he only needed to cultivate next. Since it was not his customary right hand, it would not even prevent him from writing and approving official documents or something, so he didn't even tell him about his leave, and went to the yamen office as usual the next day.
Seeing this, Xie Mulin breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes froze, and he noticed that Xiao Rui mentioned a sentence later.
At that time, there were four people who attacked Xie Pu, two escaped, one died on the spot, and one was captured alive and was locked up in the dungeon of King Yan's Mansion.
