Chapter 123: Black clouds crush the city

Poor Cuo has been studying hard for ten years, and when he was named on the gold list, he only thought that crossing the horse and walking the streets was already the ultimate in the world, but in this world, there is another kind of wealth that is brought by landing. In addition to the royal family, the atmosphere of living in eight seats can only be seen by the prince's mansion, which has been inherited for more than a hundred years. Although it is difficult to get Uncle Hou, there is still a chance after all, but the prince of the country is very few. After so many years of founding the country, many famous families have disappeared without a trace, and there are only four hereditary Guogong mansions left.

One of them is the Korean Mansion located in Toutiao Hutong, west of Jishuitan, which is commanded by the Shangzhiwei pro-army and sent ten sergeants to guard the mansion on weekdays. However, in the afternoon of this day, the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division suddenly dispatched more than 100 patrols to guard all the places, followed by the Jinyi Guard, from the back door along the street to the main gate in the alley, all of them were densely packed with people. Seeing this scene, some people couldn't help but be suspicious and guessed, and those who were well-informed were associated with the events of the early dynasty.

Could it be that this time the Xuanfu Datong fraud case was even involved in the Korean government?

On Xinkaidao Street, which intersects with Toutiao Hutong, the curtain of a carriage that seems to be passing by is slightly lifted. The people in the carriage saw the bright clothes of the brocade guards and the waist knives they were carrying through the gaps, and couldn't help but shudder, and then immediately lowered the curtain, and instructed the coachman: "Don't turn in, go around from Fengqiao Hutong and Sitiao Hutong, and go back to the house directly!" ”

Hearing the driver's simple promise outside, Zheng's mother only felt worried, and clasped her hands tightly together. She went out with her husband Steward Zheng, and first took a car to the Thousand Steps Corridor. Steward Zheng was originally going to go to the General Administration Department to hand over the excerpt for the old lady, but as soon as he inquired at the door, he learned that Yang Hao, the chief official of the General Administration Department, had just been imprisoned, and he had to re-examine the excerpt and so on.

Knowing that things might not be good, she hurriedly went around the Dongchang Marquis Mansion, and found that the door had been affixed with a seal in black on a white background, and the Guangning Bo Mansion was also closed and guarded, but she didn't expect that the Korean Mansion that was fine when she came to ask for help in the morning was the same. Thinking of the calm in front of her house, she couldn't help pinching the letter sealed with wax in her sleeve, as well as the bag of falling flowers and flowing water, she only felt that her heart was empty and there was no one to land, it was clearly a bright and beautiful weather, but her body suddenly became cold.

The third lady's plan is expected to be good, but the Secretary for Administration obviously can't count on it, and the Korean government is in that situation, how can she get in...... By the way, it is said that the county lord of Yixing and Zhang Quan have another business in the city, where did the place come from...... After thinking about it, Zheng's mother finally thought of the location that was almost buried in the depths of her memory, and hurriedly gave another order to the coachman.

However, when she finally arrived outside a mansion after going around most of the capital, she immediately got out of the car and knocked on the door for a while, but what she got was the news that the owner had not lived here for a long time. So, despite the frustration in her heart, she could only go back to her home, but she didn't dare to go back to the Tatexiang Courtyard to report the news, so she went straight to the Splendid Pavilion to find Chen Lan, and told those things as they were.

"The Dongchang Marquis Mansion has been sealed, and the Korean Mansion and the Guangning Bo Mansion are guarded by more people, and there is no one in the Yixing County Lord's other business?" After repeating the main points in Zheng's mother's words, and after receiving a positive answer, Chen Lan thought for a moment before asking again, "Mother Zheng, when you went to the Korean Mansion in the morning, you only saw the Korean Duchess?" ”

Mother Zheng was stunned when she heard this, and then replied curtly: "Because the old lady's affairs are urgent, but I can't let outsiders know, so I directly met the Korean Duchess, and the doctor was personally sent by the Korean Duchess to accompany my confidant mother to pick me up, and I only said that it was the person recommended by the Second Master Zhang and the Lord of Yixing County back then, which is extremely reliable." As for the others, I didn't pay attention or inquire. ”

Chen Lan couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then pressed his eyebrows, but there was not much frustration. It can be known only from Zhu's earlier remarks that this morning, the emperor is really making a big move, and even so, it is naturally predictable that those who are involved will be guarded suddenly. She didn't know why there weren't such a group of guards in her house, but maybe someone would come in the next moment.

"Third Miss, what should I do now?"

"Mother Zheng, don't worry, please go back to the Tatexiang Courtyard first, don't tell the old lady this news, I'll find another way." Don't worry, even if I promised the old lady, I will always get things done. ”

Although Zheng's mother was still full of doubts at this time, there was a way that a dead horse was used as a live horse doctor, and she couldn't find any other countermeasure after thinking about it, so she could only take out the letter and bag in her arms and hand it back to Chen Lan, and couldn't help but ask it again, and then left dejectedly. As soon as she left, Chen Lan immediately summoned Hongluo and said: "I mentioned to the third aunt about your godmother early in the morning, and the third aunt was full of answers, but she was busy after all, you go and take a look, if you see your godmother, call someone over immediately." ”

The red snail obeyed the order. About a quarter of an hour later, she entered the house with a woman in her early forties. The woman was dressed in a cleanly washed blue Jiading calico cardigan, a black skirt, and no jewelry on the top and bottom, but she looked simple and generous. As soon as such a person stood in front of him, Chen Lan was immediately satisfied, and when she saw Qi Yili kneeling down and kowtowing, she hurriedly signaled to Hongluo to help the person up.

"Mother Tian, from now on, I have to ask you to bother more."

"That's a small duty, and I don't dare to neglect it. The little one is just an ordinary rough servant, and she doesn't dare to be a mother, and she asks the young lady to call the little one by her name. ”

Seeing that Tian was a little uneasy, Chen Lan smiled and said: "Mother Tian, don't say that, Sister Hongluo is your goddaughter, and the old lady gave it to me, I always call me a sister, not to mention that you have one more seniority?" The identity of the past was the past, and when it came to me, it was naturally me who had the final say. Don't mention anything else, just take those in the house who recognize their goddaughters are often at ease when they take money, and they don't care about it when something happens, Tian's mother, your character is much higher. This alone is enough to set an example for the next generation. ”

Tian originally thought that Chen Lan had transferred himself over just to give face to Hongluo, and by the way, he should take care of himself, a widow who had no serious errands, but when he heard this, his heart was suddenly greatly touched, and he immediately peeked to see Hongluo. Seeing Hongluo smiling and nodding at herself, she didn't know that Hongluo really followed this new master, and she couldn't help but hesitate.

In the past, when her husband was still there, she also had a bit of a competitive heart, but when her husband left, she didn't have a man and a woman, and she saw the world more thoroughly. Accepting Hongluo as a goddaughter is just a distribution in the house, but Hongluo is sensible, not like those girls who first met and then got their will, but brought things every once in a while, so she couldn't help but have a heart to take care of.

At this time, looking at the red snail and thinking about the reputation of the third lady below, she sighed in her heart, and then bent her knees again: "The third miss is so affordable, if the small one pushes again, it will not know how to lift." I don't know a small big word, I don't have any other ability, but it's okay to run errands and do things, if the third lady wants to be sent, just ask for it. ”

Chen Lan also knew that the Tian family was not the old generals of the Chu family who had received her great favor, but with a few fluttering words, it was unrealistic to expect people to be completely used by themselves, but she knew that the Zhu family could not allow those people to enter the mansion to do things, so when she left at that time, she could only make up her mind to leave people in Tiananzhuang to operate, so Tian's innocent family was her only choice at the moment. Therefore, seeing that Tian said this, she took out the letter and the bag from her bosom and handed it to her with both hands.

"Third Miss, ...... are you?"

"Mother Tian, there is a mother at home who goes out to run errands, so naturally this matter should not be handled by you. But these two days have been eventful in the capital, and such as Zheng's mother is inevitably dazzling, so I think about this matter, and it can only be reliable like you. Now the matter is urgent, but please remember that this letter will be sent to the gatehouse alley of Nanju Xianfang......" Chen Lan's voice suddenly became low, and he carefully described the age and appearance, and after seeing that Tian listened attentively, she nodded again and again, and then she added, "Without further ado, I have asked Yun'er's uncle to hire a car at the back door, please go immediately." You may not be at home right now, but if you don't, you can stay out for one night, which is money. ”

Chen Lan took two more purses from Hongluo's hand and handed them over, and when she saw that Tian took it, she was immediately stunned, and she explained: "Among them are a few silver horns ranging from one penny to one or two, which are kept for staying in the store or for pocket money. The other is two small gold bills, which are kept for emergencies. ”

Listening to Chen Lan's words, Tian finally felt a little nervous. However, thinking that he is also the son of the Hou Mansion, if there is anything, he must not be alone, plus Hongluo used to be an old lady's person, and now he is Chen Lan's person, and he has nothing to do with the owner of the Hou Mansion, Yangning Hou Chen Jiu, she, a lonely widow, took a deep breath and forcibly calmed herself.

"Since the third lady is too trustworthy, the small one will definitely get things done."

Seeing that Hongluo was taking Tian down, Chen Lan exhaled softly, and then leaned back. Han Gong, Dongchang Hou, Yangning Hou, Guangning Bo, the old lady has been accustomed to relying on these four families to work together to get through the difficulties for many years, but now a fraud case has involved all these four families, and even fell into countless civil officials, which is naturally unrealistic to expect those relatives and friends to take care of the affairs of the Yangning Hou Mansion, and she can only hope over there.

It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, so we can only wait...... Also, the old lady can't hide everything about it, especially Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Xu. The time she wants to fight for has been gained, and after that, she can't leave a handle for her third uncle, Chen Ying.
