Zhang shivered with fright.

With a pale face, he asked Hua Jiao: "Madam, what happened?" ”

Last night, she only heard that Huajiao had settled a drunken guest, but she didn't care, she only heard that Huajiao didn't go back to the house until late, and she didn't get up until last night.

"Nothing." Sichuan Pepper sat down unhurriedly to feed the children, "Maybe they're here to eat." ”

Zhang: "......"

She no longer envies Hua Jiao for being Mrs. Hou.

Mrs. Hou is really not an ordinary person.

Wang went to ask the officers and soldiers why they were surrounding them, and when they got an answer, they knocked on the door outside again, and said anxiously: "Daughter-in-law, they said that a fugitive entered our yard last night and wanted to come in and search. ”

"Got it, let them wait." After feeding the child, the pepper suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, went to the clean room to wash up, changed clothes, and then walked out slowly, Wang was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and when he saw that the pepper finally came out, he hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Is that person gone?" Isn't that the person? ”

"Mother, what are you thinking!" Hua Jiao said slowly, "What should you do, you don't have to worry about this." ”

Liu took the child to lie on the window, and he didn't dare to look at it.

Pei Chunshan and Pei Run stood at the door, a little overwhelmed.

The officers and soldiers outside did not knock on the door, and politely wanted to search the house, but they surrounded the whole house, which was strange and scary.

Wu Zhixian stood in the alley with his hands in his hands.

Seeing the peppercorns, Pi smiled and saluted with his fists: "Xiaguan has seen Mrs. Hou." ”

He heard about Huajiao and Wu Mei in Yucheng.

He felt that Hua Jiao gave a woman to Zhao Yan, which was a little inauthentic, and he was very unhappy.

But Pei Ze's identity is there, and he can't question Huajiao.

"What is the matter with the adults who stir up the teachers early in the morning?" Hua Jiao accepted his salute unceremoniously, and said lukewarmly, "I just came back, and I can't afford to be a fugitive, and I hope the adults will forgive me." ”

"Madam, there was a fugitive from the northwest side in the town last night, and I was just ordered to arrest him." Wu Zhixian hugged his fists again, "Someone saw the fugitive coming to Mingxianglou with his own eyes, and he hoped that his wife would hand over the fugitive, and the lower officials would go on a business trip." ”

"Lord Wu laughed, there was indeed a drunken man who stayed with me for a few hours last night, but he woke up and left, where did the fugitive come from?" Hua Jiao turned his head to look at the officers and soldiers in the alley, and his expression was calm, "I don't know who framed us, my lord, you might as well let him stand up, I will confront him face to face." ”

"Madam, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the lower officials are the first to be courteous, if the lady does not cooperate, the lower officials will be offended." Wu Zhixian waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Search for me, not a single fly is allowed to be spared." ”

"Slow, dare to ask Lord Wu what kind of official residence there are?" Pepper asked.

"What do you mean?" Wu Zhixian's face was a little unbearable, how many grades could he have in a county magistrate......

"Lord Wu, although the Marquis of Zhennan is an empty title, one is not hereditary, the other is not involved in politics, and he has no soldiers and horses, but he is also from the title of a first-class person, even if he searches the mansion, he has to ask for an edict from the saint." Hua Jiao knew that the reason why Wu Zhixian did not forcibly search the house, he must have some scruples in his heart, I have to say, power is really a good thing, and at a critical moment, it can also be used to block it, she saw Wu Zhixian's face gloomy, knew that what she said was true, and said coldly, "So, in terms of Wu Zhixian's rank, you can't enter the house and search." ”

"The generals are outside, and the king's orders are not subject to it, even if the court will be held accountable in the future, the lower officials will have something to say." Wu Zhixian didn't believe that she was just a yellow-haired girl, even if she was Mrs. Hou, what would it be, as his daughter Wu Mei said, it was just a mud leg that had just been washed of mud.

"Since Lord Wu can justify himself, Yu Gong, I have nothing to say." Huajiao had a good time with Pei Ze, and probably knew some of the twists and turns of officialdom, and said calmly, "But I have a good relationship with adults, and I want to give a few words of advice to adults, I don't know if adults are willing to listen?" ”

Wu Zhixian looked at her suspiciously.

She's so kind?

Hua Jiao smiled: "My lord, my brother is also my brother, and I also want him to have a bright future." ”

"You say." Wu Zhixian believes this.

Wu Wei likes peppercorns very much, and he has mentioned this sister many times in front of him.

"My lord, it's not like that's what we're standing here." Huajiao pointed to Mingxianglou, "I'll invite adults to tea, anyway, you have surrounded my house, and no one can get out." ”

Cui Yi couldn't get out.

Even if he hid in the cellar, so many people would be able to find him.

It can be delayed for a while.

Wu Zhixian thinks so.

Called the head of the catcher, gave a few words, and followed the pepper to Mingxianglou.

The people in the courtyard suddenly relaxed.

Scared to death.

Wang patted his chest and went to the stove to cook.

Liu Shi rushed over to help, stroked his chest and said, "Who told us,." ”

"Could it be the second child?" Wang looked at Pei Chunshan vigilantly.

Pei Chunshan waved his hand again and again, and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, how can he do such a thing?" ”

Xu You served tea very diligently.

"What do you want to say?" Wu Zhixian put down the shelf for the time being.

"My lord, it's better not to follow the affairs of the northwest." Hua Jiao personally poured tea for him, and said, "Because no matter whether you can find a fugitive in my house today, in the eyes of the Northwest Army, you are their enemy, not to mention, today's fugitive, who knows if it is tomorrow's hero......"

"Why are you telling me this?" Wu Zhixian didn't believe his ears a little.

In fact, he originally wanted to use this matter to embarrass her.

Even if he searched for the fugitive, he didn't dare to really do anything to people.

"Lord Wu, my mother is your wife, I was not on good terms with her before, but now that I have given birth to a child, I have experienced the difficulty of being a mother, I have released my suspicions with my mother, and naturally I don't want adults to be unlucky, and I don't want to see my mother worry about adults all day long." Hua Jiao looked at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the tea bowl, and looked at him through the curling water, "If I were an adult, I would go to Yucheng to report to Xiang Guifei and listen to Xiang Guifei's arrangement, not to mention, I will tell you the truth with adults, there are really no fugitives in my house, and adults don't have to be so excited." ”

As long as the news reaches Yucheng.

Pei Ze will soon find out about this.

"In this way, doesn't it make people think that I, the magistrate, am an ornament?" Wu Zhixian has also been wandering officialdom for many years, and he will not be bluffed by Hua Jiao's words, not to mention, the person who followed him all the way was the person of Prince Chun of the capital, he was not easy to deal with, Hua Jiao said lightly, "No, everyone will think that the reason why Wu Zhixian did not search today is because the official level crushed people to death, and you really have no right to search Zhennanhou's mansion, unless, you can find a person with a higher status than Zhennanhou to search." ”

Wu Zhixian was speechless for a while.

For a while, he really couldn't find anyone with a higher status than Zhennanhou.

Unless...... He really went to report to Concubine Xiang.
