The Xu family's mansion.

Xu Chengxuan's injuries healed, and during the days of recuperation, he was about to get rid of fleas, and he was finally able to walk around on the ground, so he immediately went to his father's yard.

"Where's my dad?" Xu Chengxuan didn't see Xu Shao in the wing.

The servant who cleaned up the house: "If you go back to the little boy, the master will go to the study." ”

"Study." Xu Chengxuan turned around and went out and strode to the study.

However, he still pounced, the study was empty, and Xu Shao didn't know where to go.

Xu Chengxuan entered Xu Shao's study.

If you want to say that the study is also an important place in Xu's house, ordinary people are not allowed to enter and leave at will, but who made Xu Chengxuan his only son-in-law? Deeply loved by the old lady and Concubine Xu Xian.

Xu Chengxuan had been lying on the bed for a long time, he didn't like to sit, he walked around in the study, and when he passed by the desk, he glanced at it casually and saw a letterhead pressed under the scroll.

"What?" He picked it up curiously.

"What are you doing in my study?"

Xu Shao's deep voice suddenly sounded behind him, Xu Chengxuan was startled, and turned around in astonishment.

Xu Shao stepped in front of him, took the letterhead in his hand, folded it and put it back on the table.

Xu Chengxuan saw that his father was not very happy, and hurriedly pointed his finger and said, "I swear I didn't see anything!" ”

Xu Shao looked at him heavily: "Don't recuperate in the room, what are you doing when you run out?" ”

Xu Chengxuan pouted and said: "Recuperate from your injuries, you will know that let me recuperate from my injuries every day, and I will be cured early!" ”

Xu Shao ignored him, walked around the desk, and put the folded letterhead into the drawer.

Xu Chengxuan glanced at it quietly, and said, "Dad, my injury has healed, can I go out?" I haven't been to Tianxianglou for a long time, and I want to go around. ”

Xu Shao heard this, but said with a slap on his face: "Do you still have the face to go out?" Do you know how much loss Tianxianglou has suffered because of you? ”

Xu Chengxuan couldn't refute it, he shielded Chef Yang at the source of Tianxianglou's bad luck, he admitted that he was wrong about it, he never expected that the backstage of the Yu family would be so hard, and even the relationship between the young master's mansion was hooked, he knew that he would push Chef Yang out and let the Yu family deal with it.

However, he does not believe that everything is his fault alone.

At least, it wasn't his problem to lose to Drunken Immortal Residence in the Chef God Competition.

He muttered: "I said a long time ago not to come to the capital, how easy is it to stay in Xuzhou?" I don't have to come here to buy what Tianxianglou is, I don't think Tianxianglou makes much, so it's better for us to open up another shipping in Xuzhou! ”

Xuzhou is near the sea, and there are many maritime businesses, each of which is a huge fortune.

Xu Shao glanced at his son coldly: "When will it be your turn to judge the family's affairs?" If you don't have anything to do, just give me an honest back yard to study! Go out and cause trouble less! ”

"I want to see my cousin." Xu Chengxuan said stubbornly.

"You say it again?" Xu Shao's words were threatening.

Xu Chengxuan suppressed the fear in his heart, straightened his waist and said, "I just want to see my cousin!" ”

"You!" Xu Shao raised his slap.

"Old lady, why are you here?"

Outside the study, there was a voice from the subordinates.

Xu Shao's slap fell.

Xu Chengxuan was overjoyed.

Old Madam Xu walked into the study with a cane: "Xuan'er! ”

Xu Chengxuan threw himself into Mrs. Xu's arms and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, I want to find my cousin." ”

"Are you healed? They didn't come to greet me. Old Madam Xu said angrily.

Xu Chengxuan smiled: "I was about to go to greet you, just tell my father, let me go out of the house, I haven't been to my cousin's house for a long time!" ”

"Okay, good, you go, you go!" Mrs. Xu loves her grandson the most, and as soon as her brain is hot, she responds.

Xu Shao was not easy to refute, so he kept a calm face and watched Mrs. Xu take Xu Chengxuan away.

Xu Chengxuan went to the old lady's courtyard and sat for a while before getting up and going to the prince's mansion, adult princes will move out of the palace, only the prince can stay in the East Palace, when he was young, everyone envied the life outside the palace, and they were all looking forward to leaving the palace, but they really set up a mansion outside the palace, and they were all eager to return to the palace, because once they moved back to the palace, it meant that they had the qualifications of the prince and were about to inherit the throne.

"The crown prince must be my cousin's!"

Xu Chengxuan said firmly, jumped out of the carriage and entered the house.

During these days, Xu Chengxuan was locked up at home, and he didn't know much about the major events that happened in the capital, and he only heard that the second prince had taken over a case, but he didn't know whose case it was.

"Cousin!" Xu Chengxuan saw Yan Huaijing playing against Jun Changan in the pavilion, his face darkened, "How can you play chess with him?" His chess skills stink! ”

Jun Changan smiled faintly, put down the sunspot in his hand, stood up, and gave up his seat to Xu Chengxuan.

Xu Chengxuan sat down happily.

"How's your body doing?" Yan Huaijing asked.

"Alright, alright! Thank you cousin! "Xu Xiaogongzi, who is vicious and ruthless in the vulva, is like a good young master in front of Yan Huaijing.

Yan Huaijing said: "I heard that my uncle is sick, and I was talking about when to go to see him." "In the afternoon, I invited Xu Shao to come over for tea, but Xu Shao asked people to talk, and he suddenly felt unwell, so he came to visit another day.

Xu Chengxuan didn't know about this stubble, and said wonderingly: "Is my father sick?" Who do you listen to? He's fine, and he's going to an appointment in the afternoon! ”

Appointment? Yan Huaijing waved the hand of the chess piece for a moment.

Jun Chang'an glanced at Xu Chengxuan.

Yan Huaijing said in the usual tone: "Are you mistaken?" ”

Xu Chengxuan patted his chest and said, "Impossible! I saw his letter! When you are in the unitary time, the old Xiguan Temple Zizhupo, I will definitely not be mistaken! ”

Xu Chengxuan sat in the prince's mansion for a while, and returned to the house after dinner.

After he left, Jun Changan walked over: "Your Highness, Master Xu is clearly lying, he has already made an appointment with you, but he has temporarily changed his hexagram, do you need me to investigate?" ”

Yan Huaijing thought for a while: "...... No need, he is my uncle, I will check him, how can the mother deal with herself? It doesn't matter to me here, I can drink tea any day. ”

Xu Shao went out.

The old Xiguan Temple is an abandoned temple located on the top of Zizhu Mountain, and after climbing over the top of the mountain, all the way down to the north, you will arrive at a lush purple bamboo forest.

It's been deserted for a long time.

Xu Shao asked the carriage to stop at the foot of Zizhu Mountain and walked to the Zizhu Forest on foot.

In the forest, the people who had made an appointment with him wore a curtain fence and had been waiting for a long time.

Xu Shao looked at the scorching back and said, "Didn't you say that it was best for us not to meet in private?" ”

When the woman heard his voice, she slowly turned around, lifted the thin veil of the open fence, and revealed a shocked face, not Yan Ruyu, who was it?

……

"Young master! This is it! ”

Shadow Six jumped out of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and helped Yan Jiuchao down.

Yan Jiuchao has been sick all the way, and he still doesn't get better after drinking medicine, he is wearing a thick fox fur coat, dressed like a harsh winter, and his pale face is a little surprisingly white in the night.

Shadow Thirteen pulled the carriage aside and knocked on the door.

Crunch –

The door was opened, and a small servant walked out, his eyes swept back and forth over several people, and he was startled weakly when he saw Yan Jiuchao.

When did such a good-looking person come to Gongcheng......

Shadow Thirteen took a step sideways, blocking his vision with his burly figure: "Is your master here?" ”

The little guy frightened Shadow Thirteen's aura, and nodded stunned: "Yes, yes, you...... Who are you? What's the matter with my lord? ”

Ying Liu said: "Tell your master, when the prince comes, he understands." ”

Wang Gongzi is a pseudonym that Ying Liu casually took.

The little guy didn't dare to slack off, closed the door, and walked quickly to find his master, and sure enough, it didn't take long for a middle-aged man with a fat figure to greet him politely: "Prince Wang? Is it really Wang Gongzi? ”

The middle-aged man's surname is Zheng, he is a local businessman, he does a small business, he can't make a fortune, but he can't go hungry, his son committed an accident in his early years, and was arrested by the government and exiled to the mine to work as a coolie.

The mine is heavily guarded and has many checkpoints, and it is difficult not to startle a snake when it comes to bringing an adult man out.

But Kageroku told Wang Gongzi that he had a friend who had done a good job, and as long as he was willing to tell the truth, he would help him rescue his son.

"Prince Wang!" As if he had seen a savior, Master Zheng stepped forward to hold Ying Liu's hand, and then, he saw the noble son next to Ying Liu.

After living for such a long time, Master Zheng has read countless people, but he has never seen such a jade son, that is...... His body was weaker, and his face was pale.

"My son-in-law, surnamed ...... Also surnamed ......" Ying Liu's brain suddenly short-circuited, and he couldn't find another surname, and was about to say "also surnamed Wang", Yan Jiuchao opened his mouth lightly: "The surname is Yu." ”

Shadow Thirteen whistled.

"Young Master Yu, please come in!" Master Zheng made a gesture of please, and then looked at Ying Thirteen on the side, "This is ......"

"Brother Wang." Shadow Thirteen took advantage of it.

"Eighth-year-old." Not to be outdone, Shadow Six said.

Master Zheng was stunned, Wang ...... Eight?

……

Master Zheng invited Yan Jiuchao and his party into the house, and the dead soldiers brought by Yan Jiuchao were hidden in the shadows, and if necessary, they would rescue Master Zheng's son, but the premise must be that Master Zheng unreservedly explained the details of the year.

"I have already told Xiao Wang Gongzi about the house, and I have also painted the portrait to Xiao Wang Gongzi from memory, you can quickly rescue my son!" Master Zheng said.

Yan Jiuchao said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, you can recall the events of the year again and see if there are any mistakes." ”

Master Zheng said in his heart, you are not in a hurry, I am in a hurry, my son is working as a coolie in the mine, and he may be killed at any time!

Master Zheng was angry, but he could see that this group of people was not easy to mess with, especially this sick man, looking sick, he felt more dangerous and terrible than the burly Wang Ba.

"Let's start with the first time I saw that woman four years ago...... The woman came to buy a house, and my family's ancestral house happened to be sold, and as soon as the middleman pulled the line, the business was completed, and it was a man who came forward at that time. ”

Yan Jiuchao spread out Xu Shao's portrait: "You confirm again, is it him?" ”

"It's him." Master Zheng said, "There are many more portraits than I painted, I actually only saw him when I bought a house, but the woman's appearance was so amazing that I couldn't forget it for a while, so I even wrote them down." ”

Although he only took a picture, Master Zheng could also see that the man cared for the woman, and after Mr. Zheng sold the house, he moved to the new house, but he had a rice spread near the old house.

Occasionally, he went to the rice shop to take care of his business, and sometimes, he could hear the movement in the old house.

A few months later, the cry of a baby came from the old house, and Mr. Zheng thought that the lady must have given birth, and the cry continued intermittently for five or six months, and then it was never heard again, just when Mr. Zheng thought that their family had moved away, he accidentally bumped into the woman going out with her stomach up.

The woman wore a veil, but he recognized it.

The woman did not notice him, and passed by with a servant woman beating him in front of the rice shop.

"The child must have died." Master Zheng said regretfully.

A few days later, there was a baby's cry in the old house, Mr. Zheng was very puzzled, he was the father of six children, and he was still familiar with the mother's belly, in his opinion, the woman's pregnant belly was never more than seven months, and it was born?

"Premature?" Yan Jiuchao asked.

Master Zheng nodded: "I guess so, the child's cry is also very weak, after a heavy rain, I didn't hear the cry again, maybe it was infected with the wind cold, I didn't suffer it, it's not a full moon yet, it's a pity." ”

In this way, it can explain why the two columbariums are one large and one small.

Yan Jiuchao's fingers tapped lightly on the table a few times: "This information is not of much use to me, if you want to rescue your son, you have to provide more valuable information." ”

"Huh?" Master Zheng was stunned.

Shadow Thirteen said: "I didn't hear my family's ...... Young Master's words? ”

"Can you dare to ask, who is Mr. Yu from that lady?" Master Zheng asked.

Ying Thirteen said coldly: "It's not your business, you just have to answer my young master's words, the mine is not a place for people, those who are exiled there are death row prisoners, and there is no record of death, if you delay for one more day, your son will be more risky, at that time, don't just wait for us to collect the corpse." ”

"I, I, I...... I think! That's what I thought! Old Man Zheng broke out in a cold sweat, stood up, and paced nervously around the room, he didn't meet the lady much, he only saw two faces, and the rest was speculated based on the voice he heard, which made him think more information, where did he think?!

Yan Jiuchao reminded: "For example, the people around her, did she bring someone by herself, or did she invite someone from the local area?" ”

"I remember! There is indeed one! Master Zheng's mind flashed with inspiration, and he said excitedly, "But I didn't see it with my own eyes, I heard from the daughter-in-law of the guy in the rice shop, there was a foreigner with a big belly who fainted at the back door of her house, and her subordinates carried the girl in, and then the girl lived in her house, this, this counts?" ”

"When?" Yan Jiuchao asked.

"It wasn't long after her second child left." Master Zheng said.

Ying Liu asked Yan Jiuchao in a low voice, "Young Master, could that pregnant woman be the biological mother of the little boy?" ”

Yan Jiuchao's fingers tightened: "What does that foreigner look like?" ”

Master Zheng said: "I haven't seen it, but I heard the guy's daughter-in-law say that the foreigner was very embarrassed, as if he had begged all the way, and the lady was so sincere that she even took in a beggar." ”

Kind-hearted? I'm afraid there are other plans! Thinking that a few little sons were likely to live a life of begging with their biological mothers in their mother's womb, Ying Liu's heart was a little uncomfortable.

"You haven't seen what people look like, aren't you talking about it in vain?" Shadow Thirteen White Eyes.

Master Zheng scratched his head.

Yan Jiuchao said again: "How long did that stranger live?" ”

"I don't know." The rice shop is open at the back door of the old house, but more often, people in the house enter and exit through the front door.

"Who lives in your old mansion now?" Yan Jiu said.

"No one, two years ago, after the lady moved out, the house has been empty." Master Zheng said.

Yan Jiuchao paused: "Go to the old mansion and have a look." ”

That night, the group went to the old mansion under the leadership of Master Zheng, the door of the old mansion was locked, and Ying Thirteen effortlessly pried open the copper lock.

"Get in!" Shadow Thirteen scolded.

Master Zheng entered the house hard, pointed to a row of side rooms and said: "This is the main house, this is the warm pavilion, this is the study, and that is the stove house......"

Yan Jiuchao gave Ying Liu and the others a look, and the two rummaged in the house.

"Young Master! There is a secret compartment under the bed in the wing, and this is what the dark grid has found! Shadow Six walked over with a small gray box.

Yan Jiuchao: "Open." ”

Ying Liu squatted down, put the small box on the ground, and unscrewed the copper lock with his bare hands, and in the box were some women's clothes, looking at the pile of tattered clothes, it didn't look like Yan Ruyu was wearing.

"It's the girl's!" Shadow Six's eyes lit up, and he opened his clothes, and at the bottom of the floor, there was a scroll lying there.

Yan Jiuchao personally took the scroll, pulled the ribbon, and slowly spread it out, revealing the person on the portrait.
