The two of them were on the second floor of Yaranju, asked for a private room to sit down, and then ordered a pot of Longjing and a few snacks at random, leaving only Xiao Chengzi to serve.

"Brother Xiao will call me Rong Ling in the future, I wonder what Brother Xiao has discovered?"

It turned out that in the Zhong Mansion before, Xiao Yao took advantage of Zhong Zibin's unpreparedness to quietly glance at Yan Rongling, and later proposed that he wanted to participate in the case, so that Yan Rongling would come to Yaranju with him.

Xiao Yao didn't hide it, and said straight to the point: "Before entering Beijing this time, I went to Yanmen Pass. It is said that this year's border pass has a warm winter, and the grassland has been in good weather for two or three years. ”

Yan Rongling was silent for a long time, and then said, "What does Brother Xiao mean is that the Khitan outside Yanmen Pass is about to move?" ”

"Today, Yanmen Pass is under the command of the brave general Zhang Huai, who was once the vanguard under the command of the Duke of Qinguo. I suspect that the Zhong family was unprovoked this time, and I am afraid that there is a sense of restriction. ”

Xiao Yao's meaning is very clear, the Khitan must have someone to buy in the Great Zhou, and if he wants to start a war, he is a little afraid that Qin Guogong will return to Yanmen Pass, so he wants the Zhong family to take care of himself.

Yan Rongling was puzzled: "Judging from the current situation alone, with this bit of dirty water, I am afraid that it will be difficult to shake the Qinguo Mansion." Is there a back-up move? ”

Xiao Yao also looked at him, it's very possible!

Yan Rongling was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "Now that we can't guess what the people behind the scenes will do next, let's find out the father of the child in Sima Yu's belly first." ”

"So, take a trip?"

The two of them raised their tea to each other and saluted each other, and turned to Sima Mansion.

Prime Minister Sima heard that the six princes were coming, so he hurriedly came to greet him: "Wechen has seen the six princes, but I don't know that the six princes are coming, and I will miss the welcome!" ”

Yan Rongling smiled and helped up Prime Minister Sima Cheng, and said with a pleasant face: "Prime Minister Sima Cheng doesn't have to be polite!" Today's cheeky visit is really because of the homework assigned by his father, so he came to disturb Prime Minister Sima. ”

Prime Minister Sima Cheng was stunned, and said solemnly: "I don't know what instructions the emperor has?" ”

Yan Rongling sat down in the first position on the left side of the front hall, and Shi Shiran said: "Prime Minister Sima Cheng sued the emperor, and my father was also worried about it, so let our brothers follow to solve this mystery, so I came to visit." ”

Xiao Yao had been quietly observing Prime Minister Sima Cheng, and found that he heard that several princes were also involved in solving the case, his pupils shrank, and he returned to normal.

"The Sixth Prince, Lord Jin of the Criminal Department has already made a record of the whole Mansion, I don't know what the Six Princes want to know? The criminal department should have a file to check. ”

Prime Minister Sima politely refused, never thinking of letting Yan Rongling interrogate again.

Yan Rongling was not annoyed, but said: "Prime Minister Sima, I naturally know that Master Jin has a file to check. But my father asked me to participate, so I naturally had to learn by myself. I also know that Miss Sima is inconvenient to meet guests, so why don't you ask Prime Minister Sima to take me around the outside of the hospital? ”

This Yan Rongling only asked to see the layout of Sima's house, and he didn't plan to enter Sima Yu's courtyard, so Prime Minister Sima naturally couldn't refuse.

Prime Minister Sima Cheng had no choice but to say: "In this way, please take a look at the six princes at will, the mansion is simple, and please don't be surprised by the six princes." ”

The two sides exchanged a few polite greetings, and Prime Minister Sima Cheng took Yan Rongling and them to the backyard.

Sima's mansion is not big, and there is not even a garden in the courtyard of Sanjin. From the front hall, bypass the hugging building, and soon come to the second gate.

There is only one entrance to the Hanging Flower Gate, which is guarded by a rough mother-in-law. After entering, it is divided into three courtyards, namely the ginkgo courtyard of Prime Minister Sima Cheng and his wife, the Jingtong courtyard of their son and daughter-in-law, and the Qingsong courtyard where their two grandsons live together.

Prime Minister Sima gave a brief introduction, and then took Yan Rongling and them to the third silk gate.

"The Sixth Prince, this is Yu'er's Qingtian Courtyard, which is self-contained, and there are rough envoys waiting for her day and night. Every night, it is locked at three o'clock, Yin Zheng only opens the door, and there are two nurturing grandmothers, two big girls, and four small girls to serve, and outsiders will never enter and exit. ”

Yan Rongling looked at it, the wall was seven feet high, and it was indeed not something that idle people could climb.

There is only one door in Qingtian Courtyard to enter and exit, and there are so many people waiting, the original theory of thieves seems to be a bit unreasonable. It is impossible for a dozen or so people to collectively cover up for Sima Yu, or make false testimony, right?

Yan Rongling stood outside the silk gate, stopped to think, and then said, "Prime Minister Sima, I want to meet all the family members in your mansion, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

Prime Minister Sima Cheng was reluctant in his heart, but he still had to promise on his face: "Of course it is convenient, the six princes can go back to the front hall and wait for a while, and the old minister will let the housekeeper inform him." ”

Yan Rongling agreed, but when he saw Xiao Yao's hand hanging down at his side, he pointed at Xiao Chengzi and then at Qingtian Courtyard.

This meaning is obvious, Xiao Yao wants Xiao Chengzi to go to Qingtian Courtyard to check and see if there is anything abnormal. He was a eunuch, so he didn't talk about the female dependents.

Yan Rongling arched his hand to Prime Minister Sima Cheng and said: "Prime Minister Sima Cheng, this is my personal servant Xiao Chengzi, I will go back to the front hall, can I let him go to Qingtian Courtyard to investigate?" Tell me about the situation. ”

Xiao Chengzi is a eunuch, and he can enter and leave the harem, not to mention the backyard of Xiao Sima's Mansion?

Prime Minister Sima couldn't shirk it, so he could only say: "Of course it's no problem, the sixth prince, please." Mrs. Yu, please let this father-in-law in. ”

Yan Rongling and Prime Minister Sima Cheng walked to the front hall, Xiao Yao was one step behind, and sometimes looked back and took a closer look at the wall.

Here, Xiao Chengzi was led by Granny Yu and entered Qingtian Courtyard. The entire Qingtian courtyard was silent, as if all the people were practicing closed-mouth meditation.

Xiao Chengzi's face was white and smiling, and he stuffed a silver ticket into Granny Yu's hand while no one was around. said with a smile: "Granny Yu, can you introduce the sisters who serve Miss Sima?" ”

Granny Yu didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy, and said with a smile: "Of course you can, please do it for a small kilometer." ”

Waiting for Xiao Chengzi to sit down outside, Granny Yu quickly called the two nurturing grandmothers and the two rough grandmothers to Xiao Chengzi.

Xiao Chengzi glanced at his eyes, and saw that the cheeks of the upbringing grandmother were slightly swollen, and the rough pace of the grandmother was slightly lame, and he knew that he had probably been punished.

The four little girls also came to take a photo with Xiao Chengzi with red and swollen faces.

Xiao Chengzi paid close attention to the observation and did not find anything abnormal, but wondered in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "Granny Yu, don't you have two sisters?" ”

Granny Yu sneered: "Jade and Amber are still serving Miss, and they can't leave." ”

Since Xiao Chengzi came, of course he couldn't come in vain, and said with a smile: "Aren't there four sisters here?" also asked Miss Sima to be served by others for the time being, and the slave left as soon as she saw it. ”

Speaking of which, Granny Yu really couldn't refuse, so she could only let the little girls exchange the amber and jade.

Xiao Chengzi stared at the door, and the first to come out was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman. She has a slender figure, a good face, a pair of almond eyes with a smile, although there are red marks on her face, which can make people feel good.

The woman in the back is also the same age, but the whole person has a haggard face and is out of breath, and the red on her face is vermilion.
