Yun Bohou Mansion, Old Marquis Yun is feeding the carp he raises in his yard at the moment, "Fish, eat more, if it's not enough, just tell the old man." ”

Flutter. Holding the fish food is the maid trying to hold back the smile.

Old Marquis Yun squinted at the maidservant, and unfortunately saw the housekeeper of Yun Mansion coming in a hurry.

When the housekeeper saw that the old marquis was concentrating on feeding the fish, he greeted him respectfully. "The old marquis is well."

While feeding the fish, Old Marquis Yun said slowly: "The housekeeper should go to Hou Ye if he is in a hurry." "I have been behind the scenes for many years, and all family affairs have been handed over to Song'er to be fully responsible, and he will not interfere, which can be regarded as the greatest support he gave.

"This~" The housekeeper stopped talking, restless. He knew that the old marquis had already announced that the affairs of the whole mansion were handed over to the marquis, but today's matter...

"Old marquis, old slave..." The butler wanted to speak again.

cough cough~ "I don't know if it's because I'm an old man who doesn't count, or if the housekeeper is old and didn't hear my old man's words clearly." Old Marquis Yun interrupted the housekeeper dissatisfied. What's the matter with you, just wait for the Hou Ye to come back and report to him, go back. "Old Marquis Yun knows that some old people in the mansion have opinions about the current Marquis Yun, but since he handed over the Marquis Yun's Mansion to him, let it go.

The housekeeper was anxious, although his move might make the old marquis dissatisfied, but after weighing the pros and cons, he continued: "But this matter is not an ordinary matter, and it is very urgent, the old slave feels that this matter needs to be decided by the old marquis." ”

After all, it is also a master-servant relationship for more than 40 years, and the old marquis Yun still knows the housekeeper's personality. Although the other party has an opinion on Yun Cangsong as the master of Yun Mansion, he also knows how to be in a sense of proportion, seeing that the housekeeper is so insistent, the old marquis of Yun motioned to the other party to tell the matter.

Seeing that the old marquis Yun was relieved, the housekeeper was overjoyed and hurriedly reported the matter. "King Jing and the civil and military officials are inside the north gate at the moment, it is said that it is to welcome an important person. Everyone speculated that the person who came must be the prince or prince of another country, but they had not heard the prince of another country say that the prince of another country was going to come to Dongyue in the near future. What's even more strange is that at present, the west gate is closed to the public due to the welcoming ceremony, but pedestrians at the other city gates are only allowed to enter and not leave. ”

Hearing this, Old Marquis Yun also felt that things were a little strange.

"King Jing and the hundred officials have been waiting at the city gate for nearly four hours, according to the old slave, many officials don't know who they want to greet, but they have received an order to go to the city gate with King Jing to greet them. Originally, everyone was just privately guessing who the person was, but in the scorching sun, the officials and onlookers had begun to appear dissatisfied after waiting for four hours, and the people who were prevented from leaving the city because of this incident were more and more dissatisfied. Everyone said that there was no one in the eyes of the people, and I let the king and the hundred officials stand under the scorching sun for four hours but have not been seen, this behavior is too unreasonable and disturbing to the people, because how many people have been delayed by one person. The butler swallowed his saliva in his dry throat and continued: "Originally, the old slave didn't care too much about this matter, but when the people's public opinion came out, the old slave thought about the matter for a while, and felt that something was wrong. ”

"Master Hou is also among the hundred officials at the moment?"

"Exactly."

"Is there any news from him?"

The housekeeper shook his head and made a bold guess, "I'm afraid that Master Hou doesn't know what is boring." ”

Old Marquis Yun frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "There is something strange about this matter, but we have no more news, and we can't find out the problem. ”

"Old Marquis, do you still remember the letter from Lord Yue a few days ago?" A few days ago, he came to deliver the post, and just happened to bump into the old marquis who received a letter from the prince Yue, and he remembered that the old marquis told him that the emperor had secretly edicted the prince Yue to return to the dynasty.

Old Marquis Yun was stunned when he heard this, and then understood what the housekeeper was referring to. The housekeeper has been in Yunbohou Mansion for more than 40 years and is his confidant, although now he tells the housekeeper to continue to help Song'er run the house, so he rarely sees the other party, but he still regards him as his own. "Are you suspicious?" This matter is related to Yue'er.

The housekeeper nodded in agreement with Old Marquis Yun's guess.

"But counting the days, he should be in Nanhe City at this time."

"It's right to follow the itinerary. But apart from this, the old slave really couldn't think of what made the emperor make such a move. The old slave also hopes that he is suspicious, but the old marquis, we must not guard against it. ”

Old Marquis Yun bowed slightly, although the housekeeper's words were all just speculations, he had one thing right, and they had to guard against it. "Ah Qin, you go to Zhuqing Courtyard and ask Qingming or Qingqing to come to see me immediately. Steward, continue to keep an eye on the movement of the city gates, and report anything unusual to me at any time. ”

The servant daughter of the prince? Although puzzled, the butler still took the order and left. "The old slave is going."

"Yes." The maidservant girl who was holding fish food on the side just now replied that her name is Ah Qin, and she has served the old marquis Yun for thirty years, and she is also the confidant of the old marquis Yun.

Soon, Ah Qin led Qingqing over.

"Say hello to the old marquis."

"Get up." Old Marquis Yun sat on the main seat, holding the best Biluochun in his hand, but he was not in the mood to taste tea. "Xi'er has been out for two months this time."

"Yes." Qingqing replied.

"I've never interfered in his affairs before, so I'm not very clear about your situation. I came to you today because I wanted to see if there was any news from your side. ”

"Old marquis, please speak, the prince has already explained, if the old marquis has orders, the whole of Zhuqing Yuan should obey the order." Although this was the first time that the old marquis had summoned the people of Zhuqingyuan alone, the prince had explained that if he was far away, they could follow the old marquis's orders.

"Okay." Yun Moxi had told Old Marquis Yun about this, otherwise the other party would not have thought of looking for this girl at this moment. "The matter is urgent, I'll tell you straight, old man, when did you last receive the news from Lord Yue."

Unexpectedly, the old marquis actually asked about this, four hours ago, they had just received news about Lord Yue. "About four hours ago, it was reported that Prince Yue and his henchman Ah Yu were already at the foot of the vast mountain, and Lord Yue didn't seem to have any plans to enter the city immediately, so the two went up the mountain." Qingqing told everything she knew.

And so it was! Old Marquis Yun's hand holding the teacup tightened, fortunately, the housekeeper had a mind on this matter. "Have you heard about the North City Gate?"

North City Gate? "Does the old marquis mean that Prince Jing has led hundreds of officials to stay at the North City Gate for four hours? I've heard about it, but the slave didn't expect them to greet them..." Speaking of which, Qingqing paused, and she suddenly had a bad thought in her heart, "Could it be that they are waiting for Lord Yue?" ”

Old Marquis Yun expressed his appreciation for Qingqing's reaction, Xi'er's girl is quite smart. "Nine times out of ten."

Getting the affirmation of Old Marquis Yun's guess, Qingqing was also a little anxious. "So... The slave maid heard that the people gathered at the city gate were already very dissatisfied, and those officials also had criticism in their hearts. ”

"Let's not talk about these for the time being, the top priority is to find Yue'er and tell him about the city gate." Old Marquis Yun interrupted Qingqing's words, and then summoned his personal secret guard, Yan General.

Old Marquis Yun got up and walked to the desk, wrote in a hurry, and at the same time ordered: "General Yan, you immediately secretly lead people to the vast mountain to find Yue'er, Yue'er knows you as my person, and will believe your words." Then give it to him, and he will know what to do. Girl, you have someone over there to tell General Yan about Yue'er's location. ”

"Old marquis, please rest assured, we will do it." Qingqing, Yan Jiang said in unison.

"Go ahead."

Now that all the city gates are sealed, ordinary people can't get out, and the emperor can't catch the handle, the guards of the Yunbo Marquis Mansion can't be used, and Xi'er's people Yue'er may not know him, so he can only use his own secret guard. Hopefully, everything will be remedied before things get out of hand.
