The Regent's Mansion was not idle, the more Huo Yan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, the Empress Dowager seemed to want to convey something to him during her lifetime, and what did the letter mean? Even if the female official in charge has served the Queen Mother for many years, it is impossible for her to go with her so quietly. He couldn't figure it out, so he had to find an opportunity to make an appointment with the outskirts of Yuexun, and the two discussed it together.

Huo Yan looked up when he heard the sound in the pavilion, and saw Yue Xun dressed in a strong suit, with handsome eyebrows, eyes as black as ink, and a face like a crown of jade, quite unruly. A glance at the woman on the side is even more inseparable, Rou Yun is dressed in a red dress that drags the ground, her delicate face is as beautiful as a flower, her eyebrows and eyes are curved, bright and moving.

It's really a pair of beautiful people made in heaven, and when the two approached, Huo Yan retracted his gaze in frustration.

Yue Xun and Huo Yan looked at each other and nodded to each other.

"Regent Ann." Rou Yun's chin gestured.

"Well, Mrs. Yue is exempt." Huo Yan calmed down and responded politely.

After the three of them sat in the pavilion, they were silent for a long time, and Huo Yan ordered his entourage to inspect the surroundings, and then slowly said what he was worried about.

"Before my great-grandmother died, I went into the palace to see her, she seemed to have something to tell me, but she couldn't speak, and there were people from Emperor Zhao beside her, I thought about finding an opportunity to find out after that, but I didn't expect that just a few days, it was heaven and man forever." Huo Yan sighed deeply and clenched the teacup with both hands, showing the sadness in his heart.

Yue Xun had a clear idea, he pondered for a moment, and asked the main point of the matter: "Before the death of the Empress Dowager, can there be anything hinted at you, and you can't say it, you should express something in other ways." ”

Huo Yan remembered the words that Dou had written in his hand, and after thinking about it, he said, "My great-grandmother quietly wrote the letter in my hand. ”

"Letter? Did the prince receive any letters? Yue Xun grasped the key point and asked.

Huo Yan shook his head, he waited for many days, and asked the little guy guarding the door several times, to make sure that no one had sent a letter to the palace.

Yue Xun calculated in his heart, since the Empress Dowager said so, there must be such a letter, as for the content of the letter, he had no way of knowing, but he guessed that it had nothing to do with the Wen family on a regular basis, and this matter might involve Huo Ze, otherwise it would be impossible for others to have the ability to wipe out more than 70 members of the Wen family.

"The lady in charge who was waiting next to my great-grandmother also went with her, but I heard that she had gone out of the palace to purchase before that, so I don't know if I took the opportunity to convey the letter." Huo Yan told all the information he had obtained, and in his opinion, the Yue Xun couple were the most trusted friends.

"Do you know where she's been?"

"The palace book records that I have been to the shops and stalls on East Street."

Huo Yan unfolded the copied palace book and put it on the stone table.

After Yue Xun opened it and checked, it was indeed a common shop on East Street.

"Lanjin Pavilion." Rou Yun's eyes were sharp, and she stood up and looked at the booklet to confirm again.

"Mrs. Yue familiar?" Huo Yan found an opportunity to talk to Rou Yun.

Rou Yun saw that the two of them were staring at him like this, and nodded impressively: "This is the property of Yuefu, and Shopkeeper Yao came to Fuzhong to deliver the order two days ago." Then she shook her head and remembered something: "The shopkeeper said something, but I don't know if it has anything to do with the female officer." ”

Huo Yan smiled warmly: "Mrs. Yue, please say, whether it is related to each other or not, it is a daily matter." ”

Yue Xun held Rou Yun's hand, with affection, even if it was irrelevant, he liked to listen to her.

Rou Yun sneered at Yue Xun.

"Shopkeeper Yao told me that a few days ago, a woman came to his shop, followed by two men, she was a little flustered not so much to look at the goods as to take refuge, as if trying to find a way to get rid of those two, oh yes, she accidentally broke the jade carving in the store, and lost several times the silver." Rou Yun simply said a few words, but the two of them paid attention.

Yue Xun thought about it for a while, this should not be an ordinary thing, I am afraid that the woman is the female official in charge, at that time she should have the letter that Dou Shi said, as for not passing it on, she must also realize that she was being followed, without further ado, Yue Xun and Huo Yan wanted to take a look and understand what the other party meant.

Yue Xun pulled Rou Yun into the carriage, Huo Yan dismissed his entourage and boarded the Yue family's carriage together, how could the Yue family's inspection of their own property not make people suspicious.

Rou Yun boarded the carriage, realized the seriousness of the situation, and was silent, it seemed that the woman was undoubtedly the dead lady in charge.

The three of them came to the East Street, got off the carriage and came to the front of the Lanjin Pavilion, unlike in the past, the doors and windows of the Lanjin Pavilion were closed tightly, and many ladies in Beijing saw this, and returned with regret.

Rou Yun stepped forward and knocked on the door, and there was a noise inside, it seemed that someone was there.

"It's not open today, please come back tomorrow!" Shopkeeper Yao's voice came from inside, but it was not as enthusiastic as before.

Rou Yun continued to knock on the door without giving up, and said while knocking: "Shopkeeper Yao, it's me." ”

Shopkeeper Yao heard that it was Rou Yun's voice, and hurriedly ran to the door, and after confirming again through the crack in the door, he said softly: "The young lady is here?" The young lady also asked to come in through the back door. ”

Rou Yun didn't know why she did this, but she was empathetic and expected that the shopkeeper must have some troubles, so she walked around to the back door with Yue Xun and Huo Yan.

Shopkeeper Yao was waiting at the back door early, and when she saw Rou Yun, she hurriedly stepped forward to receive her, looking at the two men behind her, who were familiar but couldn't recognize them, and she was embarrassed for a while.

Rou Yun saw his doubts, pointed to Yue Xun and introduced: "This is my husband." ”

"The more and more generals!" Shopkeeper Yao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, this is the great hero of the Li Kingdom, this Golden Pavilion is his Yue family's property, and he is really lazy if he has no eyes.

"Hmm." Yue Xun responded indifferently, a little unable to resist his enthusiasm.

"And who is that?" Shopkeeper Yao preemptively asked, he couldn't offend people.

"This is a distant relative of Yuefu, Gongzi Yan, I brought him here today to see some goods." Rou Yun received a hint from Huo Yan and helped him hide his identity.

Shopkeeper Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't slack off and welcomed everyone into the house.

After the three of them entered the house, they were immediately startled by the phenomenon in front of them, the cloth and jewelry in the store were scattered all over the ground, and the tables and chairs were also scattered on the ground.

"What's going on?" Rou Yun asked with concern, no wonder the shopkeeper was sullen in this situation.

Shopkeeper Yao had a sad face, wanting to cry without tears: "I don't know, it's like this in the store when I wake up in the morning." ”

Huo Yan looked around and asked, "Can you report to the official?" ”

"It's useless, this thief is also strange, the store is in a mess, and nothing is lost, and there are some damaged things, and he also left silver taels." Shopkeeper Yao was confused, and he didn't know what the man's purpose was.

Yue Xun knew clearly, what kind of thief should have come to find the letter, they must have suspected that the female official stuffed the letter into which shop, in order to confirm, he took the initiative to talk to the shopkeeper: "Is you the only one shop on East Street?" ”

"It's even weirder, many stores have been turned into a mess, but there is no loss." When Yao's shopkeeper reported to the official, he also encountered several shops in the same situation.

Sure enough, all this is the same as Yue Xun guessed, but I don't know if the letter was taken away or not.

"Has anyone seen the man's face?" Huo Yan opened his mouth to ask, it stands to reason that such a big movement should attract attention.

"I haven't asked yet." Shopkeeper Yao beckoned the people who were tidying up, "Did you hear any movement last night, and did anyone see the face of the thief?" ”

The people looked left and right, and they all shook their heads.

Just as Yue Xun and the others were about to give up and go to the next shop, a younger boy, Nuo Nuo, said: "That, in fact, I heard movement last night. ”

Everyone seized the slightest opportunity, and the shopkeeper Yao pulled him out: "When you hear the movement, say it earlier, twist and pinch, when will your personality change!" ”

The little boy broke free from Yao's shopkeeper's hand, glared at him indignantly, and grimaced.

Rou Yun took him to his side and protected him: "It is inevitable that children will be nervous when they encounter this situation for the first time. ”

"Young lady, you don't know, this is my mother-in-law's nephew, my temperament is like this, I originally wanted to go to the store to experience the experience, hone my mouth, but now I still have no growth, this is to be known by my mother-in-law, I will blame me for not taking him well." Shopkeeper Yao wanted to give him a violent buckle, but there was a nobleman there, so he restrained himself.

"Always take your time." Rou Yun squatted down, took out the sugar lotus seeds in her sleeves and coaxed the boy: "Tell my sister, what did you hear last night?" ”

The little boy took the sugar lotus seed and put it in his mouth, sweet as the beautiful sister in front of him, he blushed and nodded.

"I was hungry last night and last night, so I sneaked to the small stove room and ordered a bowl of noodles." After that, he secretly glanced at the shopkeeper Yao, and continued with a strong smile when he saw him: "When I was about to go back to my room to rest after eating, I noticed the sound of someone turning over objects in the shop in front of me. ”

"Did you see anyone?" Yue Xun's voice was cold.

The little boy was so frightened by him that he got into Rou Yun's arms, Rou Yun knew how terrible Yue Xun's cold face was, and comforted the child, Yue Xun's face became darker.

"Say it's fine." Rou Yun's voice is soft.

The boy raised his head and continued: "I was scared when I heard this voice, but I was afraid that something would be stolen, so I lay down on the crack of the door and peeked in, and then I saw, I saw a lot of people in black rummaging through the cabinets, and I wanted to stop them, but there were several of them and I was afraid. ”

In this case, it is not a wise move to rush out to stop it, even if other subordinates are called, they are by no means the opponents of that group of people.

"Do you see what it looks like?" Afraid of scaring the boy, Huo Yan squatted down softly and looked at the little boy.

The boy recalled it carefully in his mind, and only after a half ring did he remember: "I don't see it clearly, but I see that their robes seem to be embroidered with birds." ”

Can't be wrong, it should be the pattern of the flying fish suit, and the only person who can mobilize the secret guards in the palace - Emperor Zhao Huo Ze.

"Do not reveal today's events." Yue Xun warned Yao's shopkeeper and his subordinates.

It must be a big deal that can make Yue Xun emphasize so much, Shopkeeper Yao swallowed his saliva and nodded: "Yes, yes, don't worry, I will keep it a good secret." Then he pointed to the other subordinates: "They will also keep it secret, please rest assured General Yue." ”

"General rest assured!" The subordinates were unanimous, and it was like a dream that they could help General Yue.

"Hmm." Yue Xun rarely gave a response.
