Yan Que and Chu Luoci whispered a few more words, mostly talking about the Yang family's opinions.

Now the old lady has provided them with clues, and what they have to do is to follow this clue and find out.

"It's a pity that the old lady's younger brother is still in the hands of Liang Wenhua, and I'm afraid our next actions will be restricted."

Yan Que nodded, "I'm afraid the old lady has already given up everything this time, and she must not let his family be hurt again." ”

The two of them summed it up and decided to go back to the place where they lived first and plan slowly.

When she was about to go out, the old lady did not come to see it off, but his eldest son came out to give it a ride.

"Lord Wang, Miss Ah Li, please wait a moment, I have a few words to say to you."

Yan Que held his feet.

The middle-aged man said, "If the prince wants to investigate this matter thoroughly, he doesn't have to worry about my uncle's life." ”

Chu Luo was taken aback: "Why do you say that?" ”

The man smiled bitterly, "My uncle was determined to die long before he entered the Liang Mansion, and he once asked us to take the whole family away as soon as possible after he entered the Liang Mansion and Liang Wenhua lowered his vigilance. ”

"It's because we have a lot of worries and we don't want to give up on our uncle that we didn't do this. Last year, my mother had a serious illness and almost took her life, and when she died, we asked for the opportunity to see my uncle, who had not changed his will to die, and if the Yang family's unjust case came to light, even if it took his life, he was willing. ”

Leaving from this house in the suburbs, Chu Luoci and Yan Que were a little silent along the way.

Because there were two children there, they didn't say much about the Yang family.

When he returned to the mansion and sent the two children away, Chu Luocichao said to Yanque with a heavy face, "Lord Wang, the younger brother of Old Madam Yang ......"

"Don't give up!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"What is the prince going to do?" Chu Luoci asked.

Yan Que shook his head, and there was a rare look of hesitation on his face.

"I haven't figured it out yet."

Chu Luoci pondered for a moment, and said to Yan Que: "If the prince doesn't have a good way, it's better to listen to my opinion." ”

"I want to hear about it."

Chu Luo said: "I have lived in this county yamen for a few days, this courtyard is really small and defeated, it is not very comfortable to live in, and it is not worthy of the status of the prince." ”

"Do you mean to let this king take me to live in the Liang Mansion with me?"

Chu Luoci nodded, "It's not that there is no such precedent, the prince is on patrol, and the local officials are close to each other, and it is also a good conversation to invite people to live with them in the mansion." ”

In this way, you can secretly investigate Liang Wenhua's collusion with foreign countries, and you can also find out where Liang Wenhua imprisoned Mrs. Yang's younger brother by the way. If possible, we will rescue people first, and then we will no longer be held back by Liang Wenhua. ”

Yan Que thought about it, and this was also the truth, so he immediately instructed the secret guard, "Go and send a message to Liang Wenhua, this king is not comfortable living here, and he wants to go to his mansion to live." ”

"Do you think he'll find a reason to shirk it?" Yan Que asked while waiting.

Chu Luoci pondered for a moment and said, "I will definitely excuse myself, but if the prince insists, I am afraid he will not be able to do anything." ”

Soon, the messenger came.

However, to the surprise of Chu Luoci and Yanque, Liang Wenhua actually invited the two of them to move to his mansion as soon as possible, and said that the mansion was simple, please don't dislike Yanque.

Chu Luoci and Yan Que were not relieved by this news, but their expressions became solemn.

The more calm Liang Wenhua is, the more confident he is, and the old lady's younger brother is afraid that he will hide in a place where no one can find him.

He was sure that this person would never be discovered in his hands, so he would agree to the banquet so easily.

Yanque came to Jiangnan, no matter how much he concealed the itinerary, he went to the suburbs and brought two children, so he definitely couldn't hide it.

Maybe now Liang Wenhua already knows that they have seen Old Madam Yang.

Under such circumstances, he still wanted to visit Yanque and showed such enthusiasm, except for the guess just now, there was really no other possibility.

With Liang Wenhua's invitation, Chu Luoci and Yan Que totaled, without any further delay, and rushed to Liang Wenhua's mansion before dark that night.

Liang Wenhua's mansion looks decent, at least compared to the wealth of Jiangnan, as the envoy of Jiangnan, living in such a mansion is really low-key.

The decoration in the house is also very ordinary, and some calligraphy and paintings are placed, most of which are not famous works and are not worth a few dollars.

The only thing that is more eye-catching is that this small house actually has a small pond.

The small pond looks like it has been carefully tended, dotted with lotus flowers, and fat koi fish swimming around.

"Lord Liang is so interested, this fish is quite fat."

Liang Wenhua said modestly: "Where, it's just a little hobby of the lower officials." By the way, the room has been prepared for the prince, and when the prince has had dinner, he can rest. ”

During the meal, Liang Wenhua showed extreme normality, and seemed to have a faint surprise at their arrival, but he was not worried at all.

Yan Que thought about it, it was not a way to be in a passive position like this, so he took the initiative to talk about the Yang family.

"Speaking of which, I heard that the three wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River funded support Mobei, and then filled the treasury, it is really a narrow move, and the Japanese king just went to see the old lady of the family surnamed Yang, who is over seventy years old and in good spirits."

Liang Wenhua smiled, and didn't seem to resist mentioning the Yang family.

"Yes, when Xia Guan first came to Jiangnan to take up his post, he learned that Mobei was in an emergency, and he thought of a lot of ways to lobby several families to contribute. Mrs. Yang also has some friendship with Xiaguan, and Xiaguan has occasionally visited her in recent years, and her body is really tough. ”

Yan Que suddenly put down his chopsticks and stared at Liang Wenhua with his eyes.

"Lord Liang, you don't know anything, this king went to visit, I wanted to ask the old lady about the donation of silver back then, but the old lady didn't want to tell me anything."

"Oh? How so? It was a beautiful story back then! Isn't it that the old lady is too old to remember clearly? It's okay, the prince wants to know the details of this, just ask the lower officials. ”

"No, no, no, this king looks like that Mrs. Yang is not old and confused, and her memory is very good, she said, the reason why she dragged this old bone and didn't want to die was really regretful in her heart."

"What did the prince say about this? I have known Mrs. Yang for many years, how do I not know that Mrs. Yang still has regrets in her heart? The Yang family contributed generously back then, and Mrs. Yang was in difficulty, so the lower officials should help. ”

"Oh, the old lady told me that she has a younger brother who has been missing for many years, and she has not been found yet, so she really dare not die so easily."

When he said this, Yan Que kept staring at Liang Wenhua's eyes, Liang Wenhua just paused for a moment, and then said naturally, "Since someone is missing, why don't you report it to the official?" Don't worry, tomorrow I will send someone to ask Mrs. Yang about the specific situation and send someone to find it for her. ”

Yan Que sneered in his heart, this Liang Wenhua is really pretending!

"Then there's no need, the old lady has been cultivating herself for many years, and she is old, so it's really not appropriate to make a big move, and she also said that her younger brother is probably already more than lucky."

Liang Wenhua smiled and didn't say much, the two tried many times during the banquet, but neither of them could end well.

When the meal was over, Yan Que returned to the room, and Chu Luoci was already waiting there.

"Lord Wang, how is it?"

"I followed our plan, and did not let Liang Wenhua know that we had learned about the Yang family, but secretly inquired about Mrs. Yang's brother, so that he thought that Mrs. Yang would never confide in us before she rescued her brother."

Chu Luoci nodded, "This is the best, not only to stabilize Liang Wenhua and let him not touch the old lady, but also to let him get in the way of the old lady Yang and leave the hostages alive." ”

"In that case, we must find the whereabouts of the old lady's brother as soon as possible!"

This courtyard is not big, and after Chu Luoci and Yan Que speculated, they all felt that with Liang Wenhua's cautious character, it was unlikely that he would hide people elsewhere, and nine times out of ten they were in this courtyard.

Yan Que found a secret guard order, and they searched the courtyard.

"I have searched all the places where people can be hidden, and finding dark rooms and secret passages in this house is your forte, don't let this king down!"

A few of the guards took the order.

The conversation came to an end, Chu Luoci wanted to get up and leave, and the banquet was still a little reluctant.

Chu Luoci walked neatly, and the two children were still waiting for her in the room.

When Chu Luo resigned and returned to the room, he saw that the two children had not yet slept, and had already washed up under the service of the subordinates, and were lying on the bed covered with a quilt, looking at her with a pair of big round eyes.

"Why don't you sleep so late?"

"Didn't my mother sleep too?" The younger brother moved in, got out of the way, and patted the bedboard, "Mother, come up!" ”

Chu Luoci climbed into bed, took the two children in his arms, and gently stroked the top of their hair, "I changed the place of residence twice in a row, will I not be used to it?" ”

The two children shook their heads: "It's okay, as long as the mother is there, we will get used to it no matter where we are!" By the way, the pool in this big house is so beautiful, there are lotus flowers in it, and lotus pods, I remember that my mother likes to eat the crisp lotus pods, tomorrow I will ask if I can pick a few to my mother! ”

Chu Luoci originally wanted to say that it was not good to trouble others, but thinking that they had originally come here as guests, he also brought a few thoughts in his heart to find Liang Wenhua unhappy.

"Don't worry, you are now a distinguished guest in the house, what do you want to do, just let the people here take you there, it doesn't matter if you are arrogant, but only this time."

The two children nodded, and they both fell asleep happily.

Chu Luoci was also swept away by sleepiness, and before going to bed, he thought dimly, I am afraid that the secret guards of the banquet will not be able to rest tonight, and I don't know if they can bring useful news when they wake up tomorrow morning.

However, this time it was unexpected, and after the night passed, several secret guards returned in vain.

"Lord Wang, the entire mansion, including the circle around the mansion, has been explored, there is no dark room, no secret passage, nothing, it seems that this is just an ordinary mansion."

Yan Que's expression became solemn, "Are you sure?" What about other places where people can be detained, have you ever paid attention? ”

The secret guard still shook his head, "Our brothers managed to get the roster of the people in Liang Wenhua's mansion, and checked them one by one, the people in this mansion are exactly the same as those registered, there are no discrepancies, the entire mansion has been touched by the brothers, except for the registered personnel, there is no one else." ”
