At this time, it was already ten minutes of the end of summer, and it had been nearly a month and a half since the emperor left the Heavenly Providence Villa.

It stands to reason that under normal circumstances, from the Providence Villa to the capital, if a person is fast, there are more than ten days of work is enough for a round trip, that is, to take a carriage and stay overnight, at most it is only more than 20 days.

Even if Princess Lingxin's arm is still recovering, it should not be too bumpy, and the emperor and his party are walking slower than usual in a carriage, and more than a month should be enough for him to take those Zhuang Ding to send the emperor back to the capital and then rush back.

Therefore, not only Shan Yu, but even Lin Ruochan couldn't help but talk about Shan Tianying in the past two days, and always couldn't help but say, "Tianying should come back in the next two days, right?" ”

And Shan Zheng, although he didn't say much, Xue'er could also see his anxiety and worry from his frowning brows and his worried eyes from time to time.

When talking about this man in white, it was an afternoon. At that time, Lin Ruochan and Shan Yu were there, and Shan Zheng simply finished handling the affairs in the village, and the four of them sat together and talked about it inadvertently.

At this time, the weather has a slight hint of autumn coolness, after hearing the word "capital", Lin Ruochan's face turned white at first, and even her body trembled, and she couldn't help but lose her voice: "What about your young owner?"

Shan Yu rushed to the front of the Zhuang Ding and asked eagerly about something. Lin Ruochan grabbed Xue'er's hand easily, and Xue'er only felt that the back of her hand was instantly covered with coldness.

"Ah Fu, what happened in the capital? Make it clear! ”

Shan Zheng was quite calm, sitting on the chair and not moving, but the green tendons on the back of the hand that grabbed the armrest betrayed the tension in his heart at the moment.

The Zhuang Ding called "Ah Fu" was dusty, and his hair was also unkempt, and he was about to catch up with the conversation. The face was mixed with sweat and dust, and when I wiped it with my hands, there were five or six black and white mixed Daozi, which looked like a big flower face on the stage.

Although his appearance was very funny, no one could laugh at the moment.

"The villain doesn't know very well." Ah Fu's voice was hoarse, and his voice was fragmented, barely audible.

With a solemn face, he stood up and personally brought him the teacup at hand, making Ah Fu show a flattered expression.

However, he didn't even bother to say words of gratitude, and Ah Fu drank the teacup as soon as he drank it, but it was like a glass of water spilled on a dry desert.

Seeing this, Shan Yu turned around and took the teapot and stuffed it into Ah Fu's hand. Ah Fu was on the spout of the teapot, and it was a coo, and in a blink of an eye, a pot bottomed out, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Ah Fu, didn't you escort the distinguished guests to the capital with the young owner?" Shan Zheng asked in a deep voice, "It's been a month now, why did you come back alone?" ”

Lin Ruochan's voice was trembling: "What happened in the capital, what about the young owner?" ”

Xue'er helped her at the right time, and then said to Ah Fu: "Don't worry, start from the beginning slowly." ”

Because Ah Fu followed Shan Tianying into Beijing, he was not in the Providence Villa this month, and he was in a hurry back at the moment, where did he know the changes between Xue'er and the Providence Villa in the past month? So Xue'er spoke, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then turned his eyes to Shan Zheng and Lin Ruochan on the side.

Shan Zheng naturally understood what Ah Fu meant, but he didn't explain much, just said: "But it doesn't matter, you can treat this Xue'er girl as the young owner and the eldest lady." ”

So Ah Fu lowered his head, no longer looked at Xue'er with questioning eyes, and said at the same time: "Yes, the owner." ”

No one cared what Xue'er was thinking at the moment, because everyone's attention was almost on Ah Fu's words next: "The villain and the other brothers, a total of twenty people, followed the young master to escort the distinguished guest to the capital. ”

"Originally, I was going to take the waterway this time, but one of the girls was so seasick that she had to abandon the boat and land and take the dry road instead." Ah Fu said, but saw Shan Yu and Xue'er look at each other, nodded at the same time, and almost instantly understood that the "girl" in Ah Fu's mouth should refer to Lingxin.

All of the Sangong Holy Maidens are not familiar with water, and seasickness is even more common, but I didn't expect that Lingxin's symptoms of seasickness would still be so serious after the toxins of the Sangong Holy Maiden were lifted. But when Cher thought about herself again, she was relieved.

And Ah Fu's voice continued: "So the big boat we were on docked again at the mouth of the Qujiang River, prepared the carriage and horses on the spot, and began to continue to the capital. Along the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, but it was also calm. It's just—"

Ah Fu paused, and there was a faint trace of resentment in his voice: "It's still that girl, because of an arm injury, she can't stand too many bumps, so the carriage procession travels every day, not only has a limited time, but also a limited distance. It took more than 20 days to enter the capital. ”

"Originally, the young master said that after entering the capital, there would be nothing for us to do, so we could breathe a sigh of relief, and then return to the villa. But ......"

Ah Fu frowned and scratched his head again, obviously not understanding the key until now: "But on the second day when the young owner of the village handed over everything and was about to leave for the villa, someone sent an invitation to the young owner early in the morning. Then the young owner's face became not very good-looking, but after cleaning up, he followed this man and left. Before leaving, he told us that he would be back by the latest arrival. ”

"And then?" Lin Ruochan's pretty face turned pale, and her body trembled like a leaf in the wind: "What about your young owner?" ”

Ah Fu said: "The villain stopped all preparations according to the instructions of the young farmer before he left, but he waited until the unitary time, and he didn't see the young farmer come back." So the villain thought about going out to inquire, but as soon as he walked to the door of the inn, he ran into an officer and soldier......"

"Officers and soldiers?" This time, even Shan Zheng couldn't help but change his face, and there was a trace of apprehension in his eyes: Shan Tianying escorted the emperor into Beijing, but in the end, he didn't go back, and Zhuang Ding, who went with him, actually waited for a pair of officers and soldiers?

"It's not quite accurate to say that they are officers and soldiers, and there are still many differences between their uniforms and ordinary officers and soldiers. On the contrary, it is ...... Compared with the escort team this time, the uniforms of those under Chief Manager Yang are somewhat similar, but they are not exactly the same. Ah Fu continued to scratch his head, thinking thoughtfully, "Anyway, it looks very well-trained." ”

Lin Ruochan's face couldn't be whiter anymore, and her body couldn't even support it, so Shan Yu had no choice but to help her with Xue'er, and wanted to take her out of this flower hall, but she was immediately opposed loudly: "No, Ah Yu, Xue'er, where are you going to take me?" I want to know the situation of the Aquila, and I won't go anywhere! ”

He turned his head and looked at Ah Fu again: "Ah Fu, say it quickly!" ”

"Those people seem to know everything, and as soon as they enter the inn, they will go to the single courtyard where we are, and they don't say why, as long as they see our people, they will arrest them!" Speaking of this, Ah Fu still had a palpitating expression, obviously the situation at that time was already very unpleasant.

Shan Zheng's mind was racing, and then he asked: "What about you, have you resisted?" ”

Ah Fu said: "No, although the villain and the others don't know what to do, they always remember the instructions of the owner of the village and try not to conflict with the people in the government." It's just that when the villain asked them why they wanted to arrest people, they kept silent, saying only that they were acting on orders, and they didn't know anything else. ”

"And the result?" Shan Zheng asked again.

"The result is that of course, none of our twenty people were captured, but fortunately, there were no casualties." Ah Fu continued, but was interrupted by Shan Yu: "Since no one was spared, how did you come back?" ”

Ah Fu said: "As a result, the villain and a total of twenty people were all tied up with ropes and taken out of the inn, and then they were all blindfolded, and they didn't know where to go, but the more they walked, the more they felt that the voices around them became more and more scarce, and in the end they were completely quiet, but by feeling, it seemed to be taken to a room." ”

"The villain feels strange in his heart, but he can only resign himself to fate." Ah Fu's face showed a hint of palpitation, but also confused, "Then I felt that the black cloth covering my eyes was undone, and sure enough, I found myself and the other nineteen brothers in a big room. ”

"Of course, that room is not luxurious, but it is not particularly simple, but it is extremely difficult to escape from it, not to mention that those people have no intention of untying us at all." Ah Fu's voice continued, but the bewildered look on the faces of the four people who were the listeners became more and more heavy.

Ah Fu continued: "Everyone looked at each other, no one could tell what was going on, the only thing that could be thought of was that the person who had the accident was the young owner. And those of us are implicated in the misfortune of the young owner......"

Shan Yu's face was obviously a little displeased: "You mean to say that the young owner of my Heavenly Providence Villa has affected you?" ”

"Ah Yu!"

Shan Zheng frowned and snorted, obviously very dissatisfied with Shan Yu's words, and there was already a trace of anger on his face.

Because of this sentence, Ah Fu couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and even forgot to say the following words for a while, and a trace of chagrin and embarrassment appeared on his face.

Lin Ruochan also turned her head and glared at Shan Yu, with a hint of disgust in her eyes, which made Shan Yu can't help but lower her head and dare not continue to speak.

From beginning to end, Xue'er didn't interject except for whispering to comfort Lin Ruochan, after all, this is a matter of Providence Villa, she can make a strong contribution, and she should try to avoid participating in opinions.

What's more, at this time, the most important thing is to let Ah Fu finish telling the whole story, instead of rashly interrupting and accusing who is right and who is wrong.

After all, no matter who is right and who is wrong, who is implicated in whom, who is innocent and who is guilty, in the eyes of outsiders, Providence Villa is a whole. If something big happens, I'm afraid that even an ordinary servant who pours night incense won't be able to escape.

In the end, it was Shan Zheng who said gently: "The eldest lady has just come back, and I don't know many things in the village, so don't worry about her in general, continue to talk!" ”

Ah Fu breathed a sigh of relief, obviously Shan Zheng's words convinced him more, and also made him feel a little calm, so he began to continue to tell......
