"Your Majesty, today Nanhuai Shizi Ge Cifeng and his son Ge Yigang stayed in the pavilion and did not go out."

There was a hidden guard kneeling in front of Zhao Yizhi, who was reporting on Ge Cifeng's movements today.

Zhao Yizhi looked at the concerts in various places, and now in addition to the recitals of the imperial court, even the recitals of Nanhuai have also been sent to Zhao Yizhi's bookcase, if it weren't for Zhao Yizhi who has been secretly recuperating, he would have been unable to support so many recitals for a long time.

"What about the others? Chu Xiang's team entered Beijing in the morning, and everyone else was also in the pavilion? Zhao Yi didn't raise his head and asked.

Zi Yinwei said one by one: "Everyone else went together, and the two set off. Two people went to the Xicheng Bazaar to buy goods, two people went to the clothing house pharmacy, and two people sat idle in the teahouse for a day, as if to inquire about the news, which was the most suspicious, so they sent more people. Ge Cifeng's entourage was not seen. ”

Zhao Yizhi bit the imperial pen in his mouth and sighed: "How is the situation on Chu Xiang's side?" ”

Kneeling in front of the case, it seemed that he was a leading official of Ziyinwei, and he also knew everything about things outside the capital, and said directly: "After the king of Chuxiang entered Beijing, the border defenders weakened, and he transferred troops back to Jingcheng, and he did not understand his intentions. ”

"This King of Chu Xiang is really willing to leave his son and grandson in the capital? Ge Cifeng also stayed in the pavilion all day long, and the door did not go out of the door, like a little daughter-in-law to be married, but I was me, jumping up and down and remembering to be troublesome, but it seemed that I was a villain. Zhao Yizhi laughed at himself.

Zi Yinwei in front of him didn't know Zhao Yi's intentions, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to answer.

Zhao Yizhi put away the imperial pen and closed the fold: "It's finally finished, it feels like a teacher grading homework!" ”

Zi Yinwei didn't understand, let alone answer.

"What's going on over there with He Yue'er?" Zhao Yizhi didn't expect Zi Yinwei to understand, and asked about He Yue'er's situation.

Zi Yinwei replied: "He Yue'er slipped out of the mansion last time and was found and brought back by Zangyun and Qingtian, and to this day, she has not gone out again. Today's duty is to catch the moon and pick the stars, and everything is normal in Yifu. ”

Zhao Yizhi smiled: "Okay, don't give her a grounding order, if the injury is healed, let her go out for a walk." Just be careful, you must not let her have an accident, tell Chen Congwei, follow secretly, and don't make the little girl unhappy. ”

Zi Yinwei retreated silently.

"Oh, that's interesting." Zhao Yizhi said to himself, and he didn't know what he meant by "interesting".

Late at night, in Yifu, rats crawled in and out, encountered each other's "squeaks" twice, and quickly left, this situation has been happening for several days. No one in Yifu knew that the bottom of Yifu had been hollowed out by rats, and "strategic roads" were formed under Yifu.

The maids Xiaolan and Xiaohuang retreated from He Yue'er's room, and the two had just served He Yue'er to lie down and walk in the corridor.

Xiaolan: "I've been having nightmares these nights, really, and I can't sleep well." ”

Xiao Huang exclaimed: "Huh? Me too, I've been having nightmares these days, what have you dreamed about? ”

Xiaolan looked around and whispered mysteriously, "I dreamed that this mansion is full of... Rats!! Suddenly, Xiao Lan's voice rose several times, startling Xiao Huang by a spirit.

"Oh, if you dream of a mouse, you're a mouse, what's your name!" Xiao Huang patted his chest and complained about Xiao Landao.

Xiao Lan trembled and pointed forward: "There is... Yes... There are rats..."

Xiao Huang looked along the direction, and saw a large group of mice gathered in the corner of the wall, like a big meat ball wriggling.

Seeing this, Xiao Huang suddenly became numb, and his teeth kept chattering: "Okay... More mice... Pander to... Ah San... Ah Four... Come on..."The voice was faint like a mosquito, and Ah San Ah Si naturally couldn't hear it.

Just as the two girls were trembling and frightened, and were about to turn and run away, the rats moved, and they stepped on one by one, and climbed to the wall, and in a specific place on the wall, there was a trace of order in the chaos. There was only one big mouse, squatting on the wall, "squeaking" at the rats below for a while, and staring at Xiaolan and Xiaohuang for a while.

Xiao Lan couldn't stand it anymore, and finally turned around and was about to run away, but was grabbed by Xiao Huang: "Sister Lan, wait a minute, they... As if to tell us something. ”

Xiaolan was dragged by Xiao Huang, closed her eyes and froze in place, and said loudly: "Don't drag me, I'm most afraid of this thing, what can a group of rats tell us!" ”

Xiao Huang dragged Xiao Lan tightly, although she had found some clues about the rat colony, she was still scared, and she didn't dare to stay here alone if she didn't pull Xiao Lan.

The rats on the wall climbed up the wall with each other, and after some commotion, finally stopped. Xiao Huang took advantage of the faint moonlight to see that the rats actually used the white wall as the paper and themselves as the words, and "wrote" the words on the wall!

Xiao Huang looked at the three big characters on the wall, and covered his mouth in surprise: "This... Yes..."

Xiaolan closed her eyes and asked, "What are you writing?" What the hell are you seeing? ”

"I... I can't read..."Xiao Huang jumped out of the hand covering his mouth and said embarrassedly. "Sister Lan, take a look, what kind of word is this?"

Xiao Lan's eyes opened a slit and looked at the wall, and sure enough, as Xiao Huang said, a swarm of rats crawled densely on the wall, forming three big characters.

"I... I'm also illiterate, so go and tell Ah San to get them up, ask who knows how to read, and see what kind of word this is! Seeing that the mouse had no malicious intent, but instead formed three big characters on the wall, the fear in her heart weakened a little, and she hurriedly pulled Xiao Huang and ran to Ah San's manservant's bedroom.

The big rat on the wall stomped heavily on the wall like a human, as if it was angry, but it was helpless, and continued to squat on the wall, constantly "squeaking" at the rats below.

There was an eagle roar in the air, and an eagle fell from the sky, grabbed the big mouse on the wall with its sharp talons, and flew back into the night sky.

The sky on the trunk of the tree was pretending to sleep, and when he heard the movement, he opened one eye and looked at his pet: "What did you catch again?" The little guy is amazing. After saying that, he closed his eyes, changed into a comfortable position and fell asleep again.

The swarm of rats on the wall, which had lost the control of the big rats, scattered all at once, fell down from the wall one after another, and scurried everywhere in the Yi Mansion. At this time, two more big rats came out of the mouse hole and "squeaked" at the rat swarm, and the chaotic rat swarm reacted and divided into two groups, ran to the two big rats respectively, and got into the rat hole behind them.

In the courtyard, there was silence for a while.

Xiaolan and Xiaohuang quickly went and returned, followed by sleepy-eyed Ah San and Ah Si.

"Two aunts and grandmothers, what kind of demons are you doing in the middle of the night? What the hell are we going to see? Ah San grumbled with a yawn.

"You'll find out when you come and see!" Xiaolan led the way in front, and soon arrived at the corridor just now, closed his eyes and pointed to the wall and said, "Look, what's there!" ”

Ah San Ah Si rubbed his eyes and looked: "What? There's nothing there! ”

Xiao Huang shook Xiao Lan and said, "Sister Lan, that group of mice is gone!" ”

Xiaolan opened her eyes and looked, and sure enough, the wall was empty, and there was nothing.

"I was still here just now, Sister Huang and I both saw it, why did such a big group of rats disappear?"

Ah San complained: "Did you sleep in a daze at night? How could there be a large swarm of rats in the house that His Majesty gave to the lord? ”

"Really, just now Sister Lan and I came out of Madame's room, and we saw it when we walked here, you see that our clothes are still well dressed, and we haven't slept yet!"

Seeing the words of the two daughters, Ah Si jumped out of the corridor and walked to the wall to check.

Ah San turned around and said, "Oh, we have to get up early tomorrow to work, so don't toss us." I'll go back to sleep first. ”

"Ah San, come here!" Ah Si squatted in the corner of the wall and called, "The two of you are right, there are indeed rats here!" ”

When Ah San heard Ah Si's words, he turned the letter out of the corridor suspiciously and came to Ah Si's side: "Where is it?" ”

Ah Si pointed to the corner of the wall and said: "The grass here in the corner of the wall has been trampled flat, such a large pile, it is definitely not a mouse can do it, there is obviously a large group." And on the ground, there is a lot of rat droppings. ”

Ah San looked at it fixedly, and what he said to Ah Si was really good. The two walked to the side of the corridor and turned back to the corridor and said: "It seems that there are really rats in the house, I will talk to Wang Lao in the account room tomorrow, and I will go back with some money to buy some mouse medicine." ”

Xiaolan stopped again and again: "No, no, no, no, no." The rats were lying on the wall, twisting and turning, as if they were writing something, but Sister Huang and I were illiterate and didn't know what was written. What if they were just given medicine to death, what would happen? ”

Ah San Ah Si frowned, Ah Si said, "Otherwise, I'll tell Mrs. tomorrow and let Mrs. decide." ”

Several people nodded at the same time, agreeing with Ah Si's proposal. After sending the second daughter back to the maid's bedroom, Ah San and Ah Si turned back, and the huge Yi Mansion soon quieted down.

In the corner of the palace, Hu Lishan was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Read more!" Read more! How can young people do without reading! I'm still flipping through books when I'm old, such a big Yi Mansion, the next person can't read, what kind of system is it!! I'm killing another one! When Yi Xiaodao comes back, he must be asked to go back to teach his subordinates and let them read more! ”

In the pavilion, Ge Cifeng was sitting in his room, hearing a sentence from the dark, sometimes nodding and sometimes pondering.

"The fourth son? Is there such a person in the rivers and lakes? ”

"There is a son in the rivers and lakes, the pronunciation is very similar to the four sons, but it is rumored that this son has already traveled overseas, looking for an island to settle down, and this son has extremely high martial arts, and his swordsmanship is superb, if he comes, Chen Congwei and the three of them cannot be defeated."

"Hmm... If it is not in the rivers and lakes, where will it be? Vassal king? There are a lot of heirs of the prince of Sichuan and Shu, and in addition, the king of Xigui also has four sons... No. Xigui is a diehard loyalist of the imperial court, and it is impossible to send people into Beijing to cause chaos. It's the king of the Northland... There are many heirs, and it is said that they are related to the Beiyi barbarians..."

"Is there any news from Miss Yue'er?" Ge Cifeng didn't think about it anymore, and instead asked about He Yue'er's situation.

There was silence in the darkness.

On the other side, a sad word came out: "I found an old friend in this capital..."

"Find out, if it is a loose person, it should be used by me, if it has taken refuge in the imperial court..."Ge Cifeng threw a look into the corner.

"Obey the orders of the son, hey, hey, hey, hiss~"
