Yu Yao nodded and said, "You still forgot about someone." ”

Wen Cang said: "Who?" ”

Yu Yao said: "Yuan Ge Lao." Maybe Yuan Zhiwang's wife will also be counted. ”

Wen Cang said: "Is it to protect the reputation of the Yuan family that you want to let Aunt Gongsun be imprisoned or even beheaded, and never suffer in the future?" This method is too vicious! ”

Yu Yao said: "But there is still one thing we don't know at the moment. That is, who is this dead man? Why did this skeleton come to the hands of the Yuan family to marry Aunt Gongsun? ”

Wen Cang said: "You say, will Yuan Zhiwang know?" ”

Yu Yao smiled: "Let's go!" Maybe we can catch up! ”

After that, Yu Yao and Wen Cang put the coffin lid back in place, extinguished the fire again, performed light skills all the way, and flew to the spring banquet.

After a while, Yu Yao and Wen Cang came to the door of the spring banquet.

At this time, the spring banquet is still sluggish.

It's almost time to forget that once upon a time, a pair of flaming red lanterns illuminated the entire street market at the entrance.

Yu Yao just wanted to knock on the door, but silently retracted his hand.

Wen Cang asked, "What's wrong?" Why don't you knock? ”

Yu Yao said: "For the rest of our lives after the catastrophe, we will meet again after a long absence, and we have a lot to say to each other, so let's not be reckless." Come with me. ”

Wen Cang followed Yu Yao to the back alley of the spring banquet.

Wen Cang said: "This should be the place where Xu Er bumped into Aunt Gongsun and Yuan Zhiwang that day." ”

Yu Yao nodded.

At this moment, the back door of the spring banquet "squeaked" open.

Two figures flashed in the darkness.

Yu Yao and Wen Cang hurriedly followed.

"Yuan Xiaogongzi is slow!"

Yuan Zhiwang was shocked, and Aunt Gongsun was also frightened.

When the two of them turned around, they saw that it was Yu Yao and Wen Cang, and they settled down.

Yuan Zhiwang bowed and said, "Knock on the horse master, the villain should die!" ”

Yu Yao stepped forward to help him up and said, "What is Little Master Yuan talking about?" The two of us are here today to discuss important matters, so hurry up and go in and talk! ”

Aunt Gongsun also said: "What the master said is true. It's not convenient to talk here, so let's go in and talk! ”

Aunt Gongsun carefully locked the back door and led the three of them into her room.

Wen Cang looked at the curtains and pillows in the room, and he already understood a little in his heart, so he admired Yu Yao more and more for not knocking on the door, but waiting in the back alley.

Although Yuan Zhiwang was born in a family, he was suppressed by his father and brother since he was a child, he was depressed and unwilling, and he developed a weak temperament.

Wen Cang playfully pulled the flower and bird screen on one side and stood on the side of the round table.

Aunt Gongsun made a new pot of tea and invited everyone to sit down and talk.

Yu Yao opened his mouth and said to Yuan Zhiwang: "Little Master Yuan, I came here to look for you today to ask, what kind of people did you come to your mansion a few days ago?" Or is something strange going on? ”

Yuan Zhiwang thought for a moment, puzzled, and said: "Although I am at home every day, my father always asks me to study hard behind closed doors, and I am not allowed to ask too much about the affairs of the house, so I don't remember anything strange happening. ”

Yu Yao said: "If you think about it, this matter is very important to the innocence of Aunt Gongsun. ”

Yuan Zhiwang thought about it for a long time, and still didn't seem to have a clue.

Wen Cang couldn't help but ask: "Boss Yuan Ge is weak and sickly, and he doesn't often step out of the door, and you study hard behind closed doors, but when you ask about family affairs, who is in charge of the house now?" ”

Yuan Zhiwang glanced at Aunt Gongsun and said in a low voice: "It's my lady who is in charge of everything." ”

Aunt Gongsun said softly to Yuan Zhiwang: "Since Master Ma said that the matter is very important, you must think carefully about it. ”

Yuan Zhiwang nodded, but after a while, he still couldn't think of it.

Yu Yao said: "Or maybe it's someone missing." ”

Yuan Zhiwang said: "Missing people? There was one man. ”

Yu Yao said: "Who?" ”

Yuan Zhiwang said: "It's my father's staff, called Mr. Wu." This person has been in the Yuan Mansion for many years and has won the trust of his father. Originally, his father returned to his hometown, and he followed him all the way to Xiangzhou, and he could accompany his father to talk and remiss every day. But a few days ago, I found that I didn't seem to have seen him for a long time, so I asked my wife, and she said that Mr. Wu had resigned a few days ago, and my father had also approved. I think that the Yuan Mansion is not what it used to be, it is no longer as beautiful as it was back then, and it is indeed not beneficial to have an extra staff member in the mansion, so I did not study it deeply. Could it be that the horse master is asking about this matter? ”

Yu Yao said: "Whether it is related or not is still inconclusive." Yuan Xiaogongzi, please think about it again, in addition to this Mr. Wu's resignation, are there any other strange things happening in the house? ”

Yuan Zhiwang said: "It's like that every day, the wind is calm, and nothing strange happens." ”

Wen Cang said: "Then does Yuan Xiaogongzi know where Mr. Wu went after leaving Yuan's Mansion?" ”

Yuan Zhiwang said: "This ...... Maybe you have to ask my mother or father to know. ”

Wen Cang said again: "Then where is the ancestral home of this Mr. Wu?" ”

Yuan Zhiwang said: "I seem to have heard him say it once many years ago, it seems to be Lingzhou." ”

"Lingzhou?" Wen Cang unconsciously glanced at Yu Yao.

Lingzhou is where the Longyuan Dart Bureau is located.

Yu Yao nodded, and asked again: "That young lady takes care of the family affairs every day, presumably she has won the trust of the elder of the pavilion?" I don't know which noble house the young lady's maiden home is? ”

Yuan Zhiwang said: "My lady is not from a scholarly family, but from a family of military generals, my father and brothers are all generals in the army, fighting for Da Zhou, and my mother, sisters-in-law and an unmarried sister stay in the capital. ”

Yu Yao said: "I remember, it was the Hou family who was given the hereditary title by the first emperor. ”

Yuan Zhiwang said: "Yes, when the first emperor rebelled in the army and crusaded against the unscrupulous king of the Han Dynasty, my mother's grandfather was under the command of the first emperor. ”

Aunt Gongsun interjected: "Master Ma, what does this matter of the Yuan Mansion have to do with my imprisonment? ”

Yu Yao said: "Aunt Gongsun, at this moment, I can confirm that the wreckage is not your husband Gongsun Changman, but who it is, I still need to investigate in detail." ”

Aunt Gongsun nodded and looked at Yuan Zhiwang.

Yu Yao said: "It's late at night, and it's inconvenient for us to stay for a long time, so we'll leave." Yuan Xiaogongzi, if you think of anything again, you must ask someone to bring the news. ”

Yuan Zhiwang said: "Don't worry, don't worry, definitely, definitely." ”

Aunt Gongsun said: "I am really sorry that I am tired of Ma Ye and Wen Gongzi running around for my business." ”

Yu Yao said: "Aunt Gongsun doesn't have to be polite, now we only hope that we can do our best to make this matter good." ”

Yu Yao and Wen Cang then got up to say goodbye, and Yuan Zhiwang had to return to Yuan's mansion.

Aunt Gongsun sent the three of them out the back door before returning to the room to rest.
