Chapter 231: Suddenly going out of Beijing
The two of them put it back on.
was still in the General's Mansion, but as soon as he went back, Zhuang Siyan thought that he had come to the wrong place, because the entire General's Mansion was surrounded by soldiers, and there was still noise in the courtyard.
She and Ye Yuanpei went back from the night before, and now it has only been a day and a night, what happened here?
Who dares to be so bold, even the General's Mansion dares to surround it, isn't it about to change the dynasty?
Zhuang Siyan muttered as he opened the door of Ye Yuanpei's bedroom, and then saw Wen Qing standing in the courtyard with a white face at a glance, and his previous motherhood was swept away.
He actually wore a set of wartime armor and a hat, and the excess hair he usually used to float was received inside, and the whole person turned out to be heroic, and Zhuang Siyan was stunned.
And when Wen Qing heard the door ringing, he turned around, and saw Zhuang Siyan standing at the door of the general's bedroom.
He was stunned for a long time, and his heart was really as frightened as if he had seen a ghost.
Since last night, he went to Zhuang Siyan's residence outside the palace, and found that she was not there, so he hurried back to the general's mansion.
As a result, it was found that not only Zhuang Siyan was gone, but even the general was gone.
This matter has been made clear, no one needs to say much, Wen Qing also knows what is going on.
The emperor took every precaution, but these two people still ran away, but where would they go? Ye Yuanpei had a serious injury on his back, and it was night, it was impossible to get out of the city, and it was even difficult to get out of the house.
Therefore, Wen Qing surrounded the entire Great General's Mansion, and also used a military command talisman given to him by Ling Tiancheng.
As a result, after searching for a day and a night, they dug up all the land in the general's mansion, but they didn't find even half a figure.
As for Ye Yuanpei's bedroom, not to mention, Wen Qing was still studying it inside just now, but now Zhuang Siyan was standing at the door.
Where did this woman come from? Did it fall from the sky? The door of the General's Mansion has long been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside his people, even if no one can do anything to her, but when he sees her back, he will always report to Wen Qing.
And he has always been in the courtyard, so if a living person comes in from the courtyard gate and walks to the door of the bedroom, it is impossible for him not to see it.
"Where are you from?" Wen Qing took a step forward, not too close, with vigilance in his eyes.
Zhuang Siyan replied unexpectedly: "Hey, your clothes are good, I thought you would go down all the time, but I didn't expect people to rely on clothes and makeup, horses and saddles, as soon as you dress up like this, it will be different immediately, and you are still very handsome." ”
Wen Qing: "......"
He spoke again and asked, "Where did you go before?" Why is it here all of a sudden? Tell me as soon as possible, the emperor is still waiting for someone to report. ”
Wen Qing said in a hurry, but Zhuang Siyan didn't take it seriously at all, and only laughed with him: "I'm here, what's wrong with you?" I've lost my memory, I forgot that I'm a mother, why are you still talking at this time, it's so disrespectful! ”
Wen Qing was speechless again.
But it's good that people are back, he has to pass the news into the palace first, and as for where they went, he will ask slowly.
He was busy with his business, Zhuang Siyan was not idle, turned around and called the housekeeper of the General's Mansion, and asked him to instruct the kitchen to prepare bone rice for Ye Yuanpei.
Then he asked the family to prepare a table of wine and food, and called Wen Qing and said, "Let's eat here in a while, I have something very important to tell you." ”
Wen Qing: "Coincidentally, I just happened to have something very important to tell you. ”
Zhuang Siyan handed him a knowing smile, then turned around and entered the bedroom again, and briefly told Ye Yuanpei about the situation outside.
Ye Yuanpei said teasingly: "Taixing Shi moved the crowd, he has surrounded this place after only a day of not seeing him, if you really go back to modern times with me, what will happen to the emperor, and demolish the Dasheng Dynasty?" ”
Zhuang Siyan waved his hand: "It's not as serious as you said, he's just worried about you, you're a minister, and now you're seriously injured, maybe he's worried that someone will assassinate you, that's why it's like this." ”
The ghost will believe her words, anyway, Ye Yuanpei doesn't believe it.
By the time everyone had eaten, it was already late at night.
Ye Yuanpei had nothing to do, and after being fed by the maid and servant in the night, he lay down to rest.
Zhuang Siyan called Wen Qing to a side hall, where even the stove was raw, and the frozen people wanted to cry.
And she was still drinking while talking to Wen Qing: "Don't look for it in the capital, that batch of silver is not in the racecourse on the outskirts of Beijing, go outside." ”
"Outside? It's such a big place outside, where to go? ”
"You are stupid, although the outside area is big, there are not many places that belong to Luo Ke, and the places he is very familiar with are even more limited. Would a man as smart as him hide his silver in a place he can't control? ”
"You mean, most likely in his hometown?"
"Clever."
Wen Qing, who changed from stupid to smart in a second, was still confused, chased after her and asked, "How did you know that he would hide the silver in his hometown?" At that time, there were so many official silver, it was difficult to get out of the city, and he himself was in the capital, wouldn't it be safer to hide here? ”
Zhuang Siyan drank the warm wine in his hand, took a few mouthfuls of food and put it in his mouth, chewed it very quickly, and swallowed it before saying, "Why are you stupid again?" What about a large amount of silver, and it's not his own, do you think he will stay in the capital all?
Didn't we find a gambling house some time ago? There is also a silver village that privately melts official silver, so I guess that when this batch of silver is divided, someone must have taken the big head, and someone took the small one.
The big one is Luo Ke, and the small one is still uncertain, but Ma Ye Lu Lin and they are definitely Luo Ke's lackeys. ”
Wen Qing couldn't tell about this matter, so much information poured out at once, he listened to it for a while, and he didn't know how Zhuang Siyan knew so many things at once.
When he asked again, the young lady told him: "What is speculation, what is the basis?" That's what I think. ”
Wen Qing: "......"
Although he is not a genius in handling cases, he still understands reason-based things, and he is almost desperate for Zhuang Siyan's attitude, and finally almost wonders if she came up with a countermeasure to cover up her disappearance with Ye Yuanpei.
But Zhuang Siyan had already swept away the leaves in the wind, and he ate almost all the food on the table while it was hot.
She looked at Wen Qing and said, "If you haven't figured it out yet, just sit here slowly and think, I'll go to sleep first, and I'll go back to the palace early tomorrow morning to report to the emperor, I'm going out of Beijing." ”
Wen Qing: "......"
This woman is really crazy, doesn't she remember her identity as the concubine of the Dasheng Dynasty? I think of a play is a play, and I can go wherever I want, and it's not over yet.
However, after Zhuang Siyan left, Wen Qing did sit in the side hall for a while, and slowly sorted out her words.
In general, there is still some truth, but he can't figure out how Luo Ke transported such a large amount of silver.
Also, it was really too cold here, and he could only keep drinking warm wine to dispel a little chill, but he accidentally drank too much, and when he got up, he shook three times, and his feet were almost unsteady.
This night, it was very quiet in the general's mansion, and everyone who had been nervous for a day and a night finally stopped and slept well.
Early the next morning, Wen Qing got up to go to find Zhuang Siyan, but learned from the housekeeper that she got up on the fifth watch day and had already entered the palace.
Ye Yuanpei didn't sarcastically mock him: "When is this, the sun has blown up his butt." ”
Wen Qing gritted his back teeth, came out of the general's mansion, and while sending someone to the palace to inquire about the situation, he also returned to Wen's house.
After a few days of chaos, he was very tired, and the quality of his drunken sleep was not very good, and he even felt a little headache.
He was crooked on the couch on the side for a while, and before he could sleep, Wen Bo's voice came from outside, saying that he had come back from the palace.
Wen Qing only thought it was about Zhuang Siyan, so he said "um", but Wen Bo said outside: "Sir, there is a decree from the palace, it seems that you want to leave the palace." ”
"What?" The sleepiness just now was swept away, Wen Qing suddenly bounced up from the couch, and ran to the door in two steps, startling Wen Bo who was standing there.
"What's the purpose, why do you suddenly want to leave Beijing?" Wen Qing asked him as he pulled a piece of paper from his hand.
Strictly speaking, it can't be regarded as a holy decree, it can only be regarded as a letter from Ling Tiancheng to him.
The content of the letter briefly told him about the official bank, which was similar to what Zhuang Siyan told him last night, and then ordered Wen Qing to take people and secretly go out of Beijing to Luo Ke's hometown to find out the specific situation of this matter.
Of course, there is another person with me - Zhuang Siyan.
Wen Qing had been stunned at the door for a while with the letter.
He hasn't been out of Beijing for many years, he used to be a prince and lived in the palace, and the emperor wouldn't let him out of Beijing easily, even if he went out, there would be a large team of people to follow.
Later, he stopped being a prince, and nested in this small warm house, he was used to this kind of life, and gradually he didn't want to go out and walk around, and the outside affairs were generally handled by his subordinates.
Ling Tiancheng also knew about this, but this time he still let him out.
That woman's speed is too fast, and her influence is greater than him, Wen Qing thought sadly, she used to feel that she still had a place in her brother's heart, but now it seems that he has done such a thing as driving himself out of Beijing, so what will happen in the future, it is really difficult to say.
Wen Bo was still at the door and didn't leave, seeing that his expression finally eased a little, and then continued: "Mr. Si is already waiting for you in the mansion, and she also brought this letter, saying that you are ready, just call her." ”
Wen Qing: "......"
didn't give himself room to negotiate, and didn't care what he would encounter after leaving Beijing, whether his identity would be exposed, so everything was arranged.
So at noon that day, several fast horses crossed the streets of the capital, stepped on the remaining ice slag on the road, and ran all the way to the city gate.
Zhuang Siyan was accompanied by Ah Si, Qingran and Qingshi.
Wen Qing followed Qinglin, Qingze, and a few others that Zhuang Siyan didn't know.
They went out of Beijing smoothly, carrying the biting cold wind on their backs, all the way south.
More than 1,000 miles out of Beijing, there is a small town in the Central Plains, although it also snows there, but it is much less than in the capital, and even the cold has weakened.
The group went straight for them, but before entering the town, they all changed their costumes, dressed up as merchants, and entered in batches.
