Chapter 103: Familiar faces in the store
The family affairs of the Marquis of Zhengyuan Mansion and the Xinkang Mansion were full of twists and turns, although Yu Lanyan was famous, and was expelled from the clan, the affectionate and righteous son of the Xinkang Bo Mansion was also very suspicious, especially the section on the street, according to the people present at the time, before the second son of the Xinkang Mansion appeared, this Xinkang Bo prince had a conniving attitude towards the second son's suspicion of everyone, which was very suspicious.
When the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion held a funeral, some strange things also came out, and many people felt that not only Yu Lanyan's affairs were problematic, but I was afraid that the deaths of Mrs. Zhengyuan Marquis and Lan Xuan County Jun were problematic.
But these two close relatives are in addition to the Zhengyuan Marquis's mansion, there is only one Zhengyuan Marquis Shizi, I heard that this prince is still in Jiangnan, and he has been sick all the time in poor health, I'm afraid he won't know about it yet.
The people do not sue the officials and do not hold them accountable, and there will be no close relatives to stand up for them, but the people are more and more suspicious of this matter.
But at this time, there was actually the news that the Marquis of Zhengyuan Mansion was closed, and before everyone could figure out the reason, there was another news about the assassination of the prince of Zhongshan, which happened on the night when the prince of Zhongshan entered the capital, and the palace of Zhongshan was in flames.
Fortunately, King Yong, King Duan and Prince Qi sent someone over, otherwise the Prince of Zhongshan would have died directly that night, and the Prince of Zhongshan would have been lying down the next day.
The emperor was furious and reprimanded the Criminal Department and Jing Zhaoyin for asking them to find the assassin on a certain day, and ordered King Duan and King Yong to arrest people together, and they were bound to catch the assassin in secret.
There were several guards in front of the Marquis Zhengyuan's mansion, and the subordinates were trembling when they were questioned, and with the slightest slackness, they were immediately taken aside to ask again.
Yu Zhongyang and Ning never thought that things would come to such a point, Yu Zhongyang's mouth was foaming at the mouth, which would lead people to the side door in a hurry.
In front of the side door, a mother-in-law was guarding, and when she saw Yu Zhongyang coming, she hurriedly saluted.
Yu Zhongyang waved his hand impatiently: "Is Xuanping Hou here?" ”
"The slave didn't know, but I had already asked the person opposite to report before." The mother-in-law said respectfully.
Yu Zhongyang anxiously turned around in place a few times, after the door was closed before, he just secretly scolded Yu Ruiwen, but he was not as anxious as now, now the front door is getting tighter and tighter, and his people can't get out at all.
Yu Chengxuan hasn't been found yet, and he can't wait any longer.
After going around a few times, Yu Zhongyang ordered his mother-in-law to come forward and knock on the door.
The mother-in-law stepped forward in response to the order, and only knocked twice, and then heard a voice from the opposite side: "What is the clan brother looking for me?" ”
Yu Ruiwen's voice, Yu Zhongyang waved his hand, and the mother-in-law stepped back and stepped forward: "Xuanping Hou, can you take a step to speak?" ”
"I'm afraid this won't work, the door of the Marquis Mansion of Zhengyuan is supervised, and the cause is still the crime of assassinating the royal prince, and the Marquis of Xuanping Mansion can't afford this responsibility." Yu Ruiwen said unhurriedly on the other side.
"Xuanpinghou, I don't want to leave from your side, but there are some things I want to trouble Xuanpinghou, I don't know if Xuanpinghou can trouble one or two?" Yu Zhongyang calmed down and said in a good voice.
"What is there to do for the clan brother?" Yu Ruiwen was surprised.
"Sister-in-law and Lan Xuan's niece are no longer there, and now they are about to be the first seven, which requires a lot of things, whether it is paper money or yellow paper, or a paper man or something, our house is not fully prepared, can you borrow the road on your house and send some over?"
Yu Zhongyang smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen at that time, I didn't have enough backup before." ”
"Why don't you go through the front door?" Yu Ruiwen's voice came from behind the door.
"There are guards guarding the front door, it's really inconvenient to bring this kind of thing in and out, and you may not be able to agree, the yamen does things, sometimes it is conformist, Xuanping Hou should also know." Yu Zhongyang said helplessly.
"If the front door doesn't agree, I'm afraid I can't do it here, the prince of Qi came here to give instructions before." Yu Ruiwen's voice behind the door was also extremely helpless.
"King Qi...... Did the prince send someone? Yu Zhongyang was taken aback.
"Yes, so I can't do anything here, if the clan brother wants to go, or go to the front door, our house is a small force, and I really don't dare to take such a big responsibility." Yu Ruiwen said, after saying the sound of footsteps leaving, he actually left Yu Zhong here directly, and the angry Yu Zhongyang stomped his feet heavily, but he had no choice but to turn around and leave.
This time he went to find the Ning family.
As soon as he entered the door and waved his hand, all the subordinates went down, and Yu Zhongyang sat down on the chair in the middle, his face pale.
Ning stepped forward and saluted, looked at his face, and said cautiously, "Did the master go to the side door and ask?" ”
"Yu Ruiwen, this is useless." Yu Zhongyang stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and scolded, "He is still the son of the eldest princess and the patriarch of the Yu clan, just by virtue of his appearance, the Yu clan will not be completely wiped out." ”
Fang Rui's face was blue with anger, and he suddenly vented it at this time.
"Master, you dissipate your anger, Xuanping Hou is useless, you didn't know it on the first day, the concubine looked for her cousin at the earliest, and it was useless. But don't worry, Concubine Ning will definitely let us go immediately. Ning poured a cup of tea and appeased Yu Zhongyang.
"It's been a few days since you said this, why don't you have any news from Concubine Ning." Yu Zhongyang took the tea and drank it all, and the teacup fell heavily on the table.
"Don't worry, my lord, Concubine Ning will definitely have a way, the prince of Qi is arrogant and rude, and he locks up us who have nothing to do with it, and these few days should be enough for him to dissipate his anger." Ning said softly.
This sounded reasonable, Yu Zhongyang's face finally softened, gritted his teeth and said, "Then continue to wait." ”
"Master, what's going on over there with Yu Chengxuan?" Ning lowered his voice and said, I can't do anything in the past two days, so I am more and more panicked in the mansion.
Yu Chengxuan is like a sharp sword hanging over their heads, and he has been unstable until he falls.
"Didn't you also spread the word out?" Yu Zhongyang breathed sharply and glared at Ning.
"I'm afraid to believe in the son of Kangbo...... He doesn't know Yu Chengxuan, so he may not be able to find it. Ning stammered, she sent someone out secretly, when the front of the mansion was not particularly strict before, there is no news until now, I don't know what the result is now!
The person sent by the Ning clan was Yahuan Hongxi, and she was sent to Xinkangbo Mansion, and she is now the one who followed Yu Lanyan into Xinkangbo Mansion......
"Third girl, no one came to look for Lao Feng, and Lao Feng didn't go to anyone, Anxin has been recuperating these days, and his mood has improved a lot." Steward Qi is reporting to Yu Xijiao.
The matter of raiding Yizhai has passed the clear road here in Yu Ruiwen, and he also knows that raiding Yizhai is in the hands of Yu Xijiao, so he gave Yu Xijiao's request, and he has been checking the accounts for several days, and the Qi steward will come over with the account books from time to time, and some old accounts and some bad debts have to be dealt with.
Yu Lanxuan didn't dispose of it in her hands before, but in Yu Xijiao's hands, she felt that she should dispose of it.
This matter was told to Yu Ruiwen, Yu Ruiwen also felt reasonable, changed a master, naturally changed a set of style, this kind of bad debt should be settled, it really can't be settled, then it can only be dealt with again, let Yu Xijiao count what she can't do, and he will deal with it when the time comes.
Hearing what Steward Qi said, the corners of Yu Xijiao's lips hooked slightly, and her heart was a little relieved, the little guys around Yu Chengxuan had changed their minds, did Uncle Feng also change, she really didn't dare to bet, now it seems that the people left by her father are still credible, but the little guys that her brother has been around since he was a child are unreliable.
"Is Uncle Feng safe where he lives now?" Yu Xijiao asked.
"Rest assured, the girl is very safe, there are a lot of people who rent there, and there is a big change in a yard, Lao Feng rents it in and is not eye-catching, he has said that he is sick since he moved in, and he has never come out, only the doctor has passed from time to time, and the medicine is also sent by his subordinates." Qi is in charge.
"It's okay to stay for another ten days, right?" Yu Xijiao still asked again, thinking that her body should be almost nourished in ten days, and she was ready to go on the road.
"Don't worry, the third girl, there will be no problem." Qi Guan said, and after finishing speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and said, "Girl, there is a woman who will appear in the shop from time to time these days, and she looks a little familiar." ”
Yu Xijiao's heart moved: "The maid ring of the Marquis Mansion? ”
Yahuan Hongxi?
Steward Qi clapped his hands and said happily: "Yes, it is the Yahuan of the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion, it seems that it is still the personal Yahuan by the county monarch's side, and her subordinates must have seen it before, but she has changed her clothes now, and she hasn't seen her for a long time, so she didn't recognize it at once." ”
It is Yu Lanxuan's to raid the clothes, but in the past three years, Yu Lanxuan has been guarding filial piety, living in a simple house, basically the Qi steward enters the house once a year to report the account, and the account is mainly based on the An family, Yu Lanxuan is sometimes there, sometimes not, and the Yahuan around her is naturally the same.
It's basically Hongxi, and Hongxi, the girl ring, should have been sent out by the Ning family.
The corners of his lips were hooked silently, and there was a coldness in his eyes, this girl came just in time......
"Girl, isn't the Marquis Zhengyuan's Mansion closed, in the assassination of the prince of Chaqi, how did this girl get out, and she has been around the shop for the past few days."
Steward Qi suddenly asked again, which was another reason why he didn't think of Hongxi's identity in the first place.
"It should be living in Xinkang Mansion, and this girl ring is Yu Lanyan's dowry ring." Yu Xijiao stared and thought for a while, "Did you alarm her?" ”
"The subordinates don't, the subordinates just feel suspicious, this girl appears in the shop from time to time, but she doesn't buy anything, just look east and west, from downstairs to upstairs, sometimes go to the private room, look suspicious, as if looking for something, the subordinates deliberately keep a heart."
Qi is in charge.
"When does she usually come over?" Yu Xijiao nodded with satisfaction, it is best not to startle the snake.
"Sometimes I come in the morning, I come at noon, and I come in the afternoon, the time is not necessarily, and occasionally I will pick simple things to buy some, which are all extremely cheap." Qi Guan thought for a moment and said.
mixed among the female guests, in fact, it is not appropriate to find out that Qi Guan is because Yu Xijiao recently ordered him, and he was a little more cautious to find such a person.
"Qi Guan will go back in advance, I will come over with the account book in the afternoon, and I will also have to ask the account clerk in person about some things in the account book." Yu Xijiao patted the account book in her hand, and said meaningfully, she can't be sure if she can meet Hongxi today, so check the venue first, and arrange some follow-up things about Xinkang Bofu by the way......
There are rumors outside, but there has been no movement in the Xinkang Mansion for the past two days, and if you go down, you can't hold it back......
