Chapter 209: Sudden Disappearance
"Madam, there is really no silver in our house!" The housekeeper said with a bitter face.
He really has a bitterness at this time, and he can't say it.
Since Xiao Hanyin came back, he has been taking care of the property in the house, and no one else can interfere at all.
After Xiao Hanyin found out that the shops under the Xiao family's name were losing money, he secretly cooperated with Liu Qingshao and reorganized.
The Xiao family's industry is indeed rising steadily, but they don't know if those industries are still in Xiao Hanyin's hands now.
He left you too fast, and when the housekeeper went to look for him, Xiao Hanyin was no longer in the house.
"What!" After Zhou learned the truth from the housekeeper's mouth, he was so angry that he almost fainted, "What does Xiao Hanyin want to do, take all the money in the mansion to starve us to death?" ”
"The second young master left a Zhuangzi!" Now the huge general's mansion can only rely on the production of that Zhuangzi to survive.
Xiao Hanyin knew that none of these people in the General's Mansion had the ability to support themselves, so he deliberately left a Zhuangzi that was enough for them to eat and clothe.
As for the other things, Xiao Hanyin didn't leave any of them.
He was worried that after he left, there would be people in the mansion with bad intentions who embezzled things belonging to the Xiao family.
The General's Mansion was bought by the Xiao family with blood for generations.
In order to protect the court and the people, the ancestors of the Xiao family have been fighting on the battlefield, how many good Erlang of their Xiao family lost their lives on the battlefield, and the tablets in the ancestral hall are clearly recorded.
Xiao Hanyin wanted to keep the last bit of hope for their Xiao family.
Although he is not on good terms with the Zhou family, her children are innocent, and they are all Xiao Yifeng's blood and bones.
Xiao Hanyin would rather let the people in the mansion misunderstand him, rather than watch the last bit of the general's mansion lose in the hands of someone with a heart.
Without the support of financial resources, the general's mansion fell rapidly, although the Zhou family was deep-minded, but in the end she was just a woman who lived in the mansion for a long time, and she didn't know anything about business at all.
At this time, Xiao Yifeng and Xiao Hanchen, who had been locked up in the prison, suddenly disappeared.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong, Xiao Yifeng's father and son have been taken away!" When the squire of the criminal department learned the news, he immediately came to report to the emperor.
"A bunch of waste, the prison is heavily guarded, I handed people over to you to guard, only to tell me that the people were taken away?" When the emperor learned of this, he was furious.
Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao's departure angered him, and the emperor has always been angry about it.
Now, his father and brother have disappeared in the prison, how can the emperor not be angry.
Xiao Yifeng did those things, he has not completely deflated.
What's more, their father and son are a tool in the emperor's hands to contain Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao.
The reason why he didn't let the prince go to Xiao Hanyin to come back was that he was sure that they would definitely not let Xiao Yifeng and Xiao Hanchen go.
One day they will come back and beg him for it.
Who knew that the people who were locked up in the prison disappeared like this, and the emperor wanted to kill all those jailers.
"Your Majesty, those who broke into the prison were not ordinary people, and they all came prepared, and directly stunned the jailers guarding the prison with drugs!" The waiter of the criminal department said with a worried face.
He knew very well in his heart that after such a thing happened, the emperor would definitely blame him.
Therefore, he can only push the matter on those who robbed the prison without a trace.
The emperor's anger is not something that ordinary people can bear.
"Drugged?" The emperor sneered, "Are you telling me how incompetent the jailers guarding the prison are, or do you think you are innocent?" ”
"Weichen doesn't dare!" He knelt on the ground and said, "This matter is negligence on the part of Weichen, please forgive your majesty!" ”
"Enough, I want results!" The emperor didn't want to waste time with him.
Now that the person has been taken away in the prison, if the squire of the Criminal Department can find the person back, he may be able to avoid the blame of the past, otherwise he will not have to do it anymore.
"Your Majesty, according to Wei Chen's investigation, those people infiltrated the prison originally to kill Xiao Yifeng's father and son, but at the last moment, they suddenly changed their minds and took them away, Wei Chen feels that this matter is very likely to be done by someone who has an enmity with the Xiao family!" The head of the household heard the meaning of the emperor's words.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this sentence has always been kept in mind since the first day he stepped into the court.
The emperor's mind is unfathomable, and they can't guess it as a courtier.
"Enemy?" The emperor frowned.
The Xiao family has been a military general for generations, and there are many people who have offended.
Their Xiao family's Erlang has always been brave and good at fighting, and while he has made contributions to the imperial court, he has also received countless meritorious services.
The emperor suddenly remembered what the prince had told him.
At the beginning, Xiao Hanyin had just returned to the imperial city, and he was chased and killed, and he almost lost his life, and Xiao Hanchen was the same.
That man was bent on killing the Xiao brothers, and he obviously knew them.
This time, it may have something to do with that person.
After the emperor had a guess in his heart, he asked the squire of the criminal department to continue to investigate the matter.
"No matter what method you use, in short, you must find their father and son in the shortest possible time and bring them back!" At this time, the emperor did not suspect Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao at all.
After all, if the person was really rescued by Xiao Hanyin, there would be no traces of resistance in the prison, and there would even be a pool of black blood.
At that time, there was obviously a fight in the prison, and it was even possible that something else had happened.
If it was really Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao's doing, Xiao Yifeng and Xiao Hanchen would definitely not follow them easily, and he would not hurt his father and brother. 27KK
Xiao Hanyin seems to be a cold-hearted person, but he is actually very affectionate in his bones.
Xiao Yifeng is his father, and Xiao Hanyin will not easily go against his will......
The emperor handed over the matter to the squire of the criminal department to investigate.
However, the prince was not at ease, so he took the initiative to ask Ying and wanted to be responsible for investigating the matter.
He also thought that Xiao Hanyin did not do this, but he was faintly uneasy in his heart.
The prince wants to control everything in the middle of talking, even if it is found out in the end, Xiao Hanyin is really involved, he can also use his own methods to settle things.
The emperor thought that this was a good opportunity to consider the prince's ability, so he agreed.
After all, the relationship between the prince and Xiao Hanyin is not ordinary, and this matter is entrusted to him to be responsible, just to test whether he and Xiao Hanyin still have any contact.
The emperor still wants the prince in his heart, completely subduing Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao, and taking them under his command.
This event may be a good opportunity.
If the prince can successfully find Xiao Yifeng's father and son and figure out the ins and outs of the matter, Xiao Hanyin will owe the prince a favor.
When the time comes, it will be up to him to do whatever he wants.
The emperor has calculated everything and waited for the final result.
After the prince took over the matter, he has been running around to investigate.
At this time, the second prince who had been imprisoned in the palace by the emperor finally came out.
Previously, the emperor felt that he was too ambitious, so he deliberately reprimanded him, and then sent someone to investigate him.
Who would have thought that the second prince had the idea of replacing the crown prince behind his back.
So, the emperor found an excuse and put him under house arrest in the palace.
However, the second prince is his son in the end, and although he made mistakes, it is impossible to lock him up for the rest of his life.
What's more, the emperor just wanted to beat him up and stop him from thinking about things he shouldn't have.
He wants to pass the throne to the crown prince, unless the crown prince does something that violates the mandate of heaven and goes against the law, he will change his original intention.
However, the prince has always been conscientious and conscientious to share his worries, and has never had the slightest slackness, although his temperament is softer, but he is a generous and benevolent person.
Compared with him, the second prince is indeed more outstanding, but he has a gloomy temperament and never likes to leave room for things.
Such a person is suitable for expanding territory, but he cannot become an emperor.
In fact, the second prince also understands the emperor's thoughts, but he is just unwilling, why can the queen's son be pressed everywhere.
Obviously, his ability is not as good as his own, but he can easily sit on the throne of the crown prince.
The second prince felt that the emperor was biased, so he deliberately fought for it.
He just wants to let the emperor know that he is no worse than the crown prince......
It's a pity that the things he did couldn't get into the eyes of the emperor at all, and even became a person with ill intentions in his mouth.
The second prince was furious, but he had completely figured it out in the days he had been under house arrest.
Since you know that you can't get what you want from the emperor, why can't you fight for it by your own means.
He did the same before, but unfortunately the matter was finally noticed by the emperor.
The emperor is an old fox, and if he is not careful, he will lose all the games, after all, he has already controlled the whole game......
After the second prince lifted the ban, he has been staying in the palace, rarely going out except for the court and entering the palace, and no longer has contact with the prince and the ministers in the court.
His behavior made the crown prince suspicious, and he knew how obsessed the second prince was with the throne.
Now, the second prince suddenly made a look of indisputability, and the prince felt that he must be behind his back, brewing some bad ideas.
The second prince is the strongest of all the princes.
However, the emperor has always disliked him very much, and no matter how hard he tries, he rarely gets the emperor's praise.
In fact, his son is excellent, how can the emperor be unhappy, but every time he sees the forbearance in the depths of the second prince's eyes, he is always overjoyed.
His utilitarianism is too heavy, and there is never a shortage of ambitious people in the royal family, after all, who doesn't want to sit on that supreme position.
However, a teenager has such a mind, and it is very likely that he will attack his brother in the future.
There are several princes in the emperor, although he likes the crown prince the most, but he is also good for other sons, except for the second prince.
As everyone knows, the emperor's approach has made his desire to compete for power more and more firm and urgent......
On the other side, Liu Qingshao and Xiao Hanyin have been secretly paying attention to the news of the imperial city.
On the surface, after they left, they have been eating and playing outside, but in fact, they have already arranged eyeliner in the imperial city behind their backs.
Some of the things that happened in the imperial city were conveyed to their ears through those eyeliners......
"Oh no, Son, General Xiao and his son were robbed in the prison!" Liu Qingshao's subordinates hurriedly walked over.
"What did you say?" Xiao Hanyin was shocked, "When did this happen?" ”
"Just last night, someone broke into the prison at night and took away all your father and brother!" Subordinates.
"Do you need me to arrange for someone to come and investigate?" Liu Qingshao knew that Xiao Hanyin must be very worried about his father and brother at this time, so he wanted his people to come forward to help him.
