The carriage at the front was stopped in front of the Marquis Zhengyuan's mansion, and a group of officials blocked the way.

Yu Zhongyang jumped down from the first carriage and angrily scolded the officials who blocked the road: "Who are you, why are you blocking the front of our house?" ”

"Yu Yuanwailang?" A small leader came out of dozens of officials, and he was quite polite to Yu Zhongyang.

"Exactly!" Yu Zhongyang said with his hands behind his back.

"We are the officials of the Criminal Department, and we have been ordered to seal up the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, and all the people from the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion are not allowed to enter and leave at will." The official said loudly.

"What? Who gave the order? Yu Zhongyang was stunned for a moment and then became furious.

"This is an order from the lord in the yamen of the Criminal Department, and we are also acting on orders, now check the carriage that entered the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion to see if there are any suspicious people inside."

The little boss is businesslike.

"It's nonsense, I want to see the adults who brought you here." Yu Zhongyang's face turned blue, and he was stopped in front of his house, and he was not angry at such a trumped-up charge.

Seeing that he insisted on doing so, a servant turned around to look for someone, and after a while, a middle-aged official in his thirties walked over, a person Yu Zhongyang knew.

Yao Cheng, a member of the criminal department, is equivalent to his official position as a member of the ministry, but in terms of importance, Yu Zhongyang, a member of the ministry, is more valuable, after all, the ministry, is the head of the six ministries, and is in charge of the evaluation and promotion of officials at all levels.

"Yu Yuanwailang." Yao Cheng took two steps forward and said with a smile.

"Yao Yuanwailang." Yu Zhongyang had a cold face, stretched out his hand and pointed at the officials around him, "What does this mean?" The Criminal Department is planning to seal up our Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion? ”

"No, no." Yao Cheng hurriedly shook his hand, "I am also acting on orders, I heard that the prince of Qi was assassinated nearby, and the assassin fled into the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion and disappeared, after the emperor knew about it, he ordered the Criminal Department to investigate it carefully, and could not let go of any suspicious person." ”

"If something like this happened in our house, could it be that this matter can also involve us?" Yu Zhongyang was annoyed.

"Yu Yuan Wailang, this matter naturally can't involve you, but when it comes to the assassination of the prince of Qi, it must be investigated one by one, and the order obtained by the Criminal Department is that the people who go to the Yuanhou Mansion during this period of time cannot go out at will, and they can only travel after finding out this matter." 、

Yao Cheng didn't seem to see Yu Zhongyang's angry appearance, and continued to laugh.

"Can't just go out at will?" Yu Zhongyang gritted his teeth and asked rhetorically.

"Yes, you can't go out at will, if you have to go out, please ask Yu Yuanwailang to report to me first, and I will go to ask for instructions before I can go in and out." Yao Cheng arched in the direction of the palace......

"Is this to put us in custody as prisoners?" Yu Zhongyang was angry and anxious.

"Don't dare! I just acted on orders, and asked Yu Yuanwailang to cooperate. Yao Cheng said with a straight face.

"Okay, okay, what should I do if I go to the ministry?" Yu Zhongyang took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.

"Yu Yuan Wailang rest assured, this matter has been told to the Ministry of Shangshu, the Ministry of Officials Shangshu feels that there is nothing big recently, it just so happened that something happened to the Marquis of Zhengyuan's mansion, Yu Yuan's Wailang has already asked for a few days off, it is okay to simply ask for a few more days, Zhengyuan Hou is a hero in his life, and now his wife and daughter have an accident again, the house will inevitably be in chaos, and it is okay for Yu Yuanwailang to help the house to control it."

Yao Chengdao.

Yu Zhongyang's face was pale, this was to ask him not to go to the ministry to do things, and to stay at home first, which was no different from being suspended from duty.

"Master Yao, my father didn't make any mistakes, why should I suspend my father from his job?" Yu Shuxing must be young, he couldn't help it at this time, and took a few steps forward to stare at Yao Cheng and asked sharply.

Yao Cheng could give Yu Zhongyang face, but he didn't feel the need to give Yu Shuxing face, but he asked like this, and his face sank: "Is my nephew blaming me?" ”

"Don't dare, I just want to ask Lord Yao for justice, my father handled the funeral of my aunt and the county monarch at home, how did it become like this, even if we want to be convicted in our house, at least there must be evidence, may I ask Lord Yao, what evidence is there that the assassin escaped in our house?"

Yu Shu said happily.

Yao Cheng looked at Yu Zhongyang on the side, and saw that he didn't stop his son, knowing that he was not very angry, he said coldly at the moment: "If the nephew feels that there is no proof of this matter, he can go directly to explain to the prince of Qi that the prince of Qi now lives next door to the Marquis of Zhengyuan's mansion, and the prince can only sit in a wheelchair until now, doesn't the nephew think it's all fake?" ”

It doesn't matter if it's fake or not, the important thing is that the Queen Mother and the emperor speak together, and who dares not to listen to the people below!

"Even the prince of Qi can't ......" The green tendons on Yu Shuxing's forehead burst out, and he said loudly.

"Shut up!" Yu Zhongyang hurriedly reprimanded.

"Father!" Yu Shuxing's eyes were red.

"Don't retreat yet, this matter is discussed by my father and Lord Yao." Yu Zhongyang took a deep breath, afraid that his son would say something disrespectful to the prince of Qi Wang, so he glared at him fiercely.

Although Yu Shuxing was still unconvinced, he had to retreat with a thick neck.

"Yu Yuan Wailang, this matter is the meaning of the palace, even if you are with me, this matter has to be done, if Yu Yuan Wailang has the ability to let the palace withdraw this word, we are very willing to go back to rest."

Yao Cheng stretched out his finger and pointed at all the servants, who wants to cause trouble without anything, isn't there no way!

"Okay, you check, it's just that there are some female dependents in the back, and I ask Lord Yao to take one or two." Yu Zhongyang knew that he had to check if he didn't let him check now, so he raised his eyes and said.

"Yu Yuanwailang just rest assured, he will definitely not disturb the ladies of your mansion, just to see if the person is right." Yao Cheng also showed a smile on his face and became polite.

The next thing was much simpler, the people who marched into the Marquis Mansion entered one by one, and the officials simply asked who it was, and let them in without checking much.

Yu Ruiwen also got out of the carriage, and took the rest of the Yu clan to the Yuanhou Mansion without entering the Yuanhou Mansion, and now what kind of funeral meal is there to eat, it is easy to get in and difficult to get out, if you go in and lock it up, it is not worth it.

After discussing with the other clan elders of the Yu clan, they all decided to disperse, the funeral has been completed, and the next funeral banquet will not be eaten.

Yu Ruiwen was not in the Yuanhou Mansion, after a few words with the clan elders, he got into his carriage and turned to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion on the other side, the Qian family and the second daughter should have returned to the mansion at that time, as for the younger daughter looking at the situation in front of her, it should not be possible to enter the Yuanhou Mansion!

On the contrary, those clan elders had some female dependents, who stayed in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion at that time, and did not follow the clan land of the Yu clan in the past, and now they don't know if they can come out immediately, so they didn't disperse immediately, first go to the criminal department's official service to set up a relationship, and ask if the female dependents who are not in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion can be released.

The people in the Criminal Department were also very happy, and agreed that those female dependents would also go back first, and the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion would leave their own people.

A clan elder went in, called out the ladies of the other rooms, and the officials at the door inquired one by one, and finally let them go, and for a while, the originally lively Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion was deserted.

Many passers-by who watched the excitement were stunned, because of Yu Lanyan's matter, many people came to the front of the Zhengyuan Marquis' Mansion, but they didn't expect to hear any real news, the people in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion were all detained, and no one ate the funeral banquet that was said to be good, which was really surprising.

After inquiring about the matter, the clever person found out that the prince of Qi was assassinated and seriously injured, and the people around the prince of Qi saw the assassin jump into the mansion of the Marquis of Zhengyuan, and the fire in the mansion of the Marquis of Zhengyuan had just been extinguished, and the wife and daughter of the Marquis of Zhengyuan died in the fire, and the happy event turned into a funeral, and it became a mess.

The Assassin took advantage of the chaos and fled to the Marquis of Zhengyuan's mansion, where he disappeared.

After this surprised many people, they felt that this prince of Qi was too arrogant and domineering, even if the assassin fled to the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion and disappeared, such a big tragedy happened in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, it must not have anything to do with the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, at most, the assassin took advantage of the rebellion in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion and ran away.

Why did he lock up all the people in the Marquis Mansion, and I heard that all those who had official positions were suspended.

But some people said that it was good, saying that the Marquis Mansion of Zhengyuan had to be checked carefully, in this farce of sister marrying on behalf of sister, is Xin Kang Bo really innocent? Did Lan Xuan County Jun really leave a last word for Yu Lanyan to marry? With such a big fire, even if he saves it, he can't speak, he doesn't care about his biological mother, how can he care about a sister who is separated by a room?

As a result, some of the evil things that happened in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion also came out, making more people feel that the so-called Lanxuan County Jun left a message and let Yu Lanyan marry into the Xinkang Mansion, which is just a prevarication, and it must not be true, so back to the original question, is the son of Xinkang really innocent? Is he really not the father of the child in Yu Lanyan's womb?

Because the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion was guarded by the Criminal Department, some things that he didn't dare to say, passers-by also began to talk about it, and in the end, they even felt that Xinkang Boshi might really not be innocent......

The rumors outside could not reach the Marquis Zhengyuan Mansion for the time being, Yu Zhongyang asked the Ning family to deal with the funeral banquet, and hurriedly went to the backyard.

After passing the weeping flower gate, I went to Mrs. Yu's courtyard.

The quietest thing in the whole house is Mrs. Yu's courtyard, before it was said that Mrs. Yu was sick, no one dared to come and disturb, compared with the chaos outside, it was quiet here as if it was two worlds outside.

After the mother-in-law entered the door to report, Yu Zhongyang entered the door.

Turning into the couch in the inner room, there was a slightly chubby old woman leaning on it, with a robe embroidered with Fu characters, her eyelids drooped down between her eyes, and her eyes looked a little vicious triangle, this is the lady of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, Yu Zhongyang's biological mother, and the one with the highest rank in the entire Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion.

"Mother, something is wrong!" As soon as he entered the door, Yu Zhongyang said anxiously.
