"Madame! Miss! Oh no! ”

Where did the housekeeper still care about the four princes, so he hurried to the backyard and threw himself down in front of the lady and young lady who heard that the four princes were coming and were about to come out to greet them.

"Butler, what do you look like? What about the Four Princes? You didn't wait in front of you and ran over, snubbing the four princes! ”

Mrs. Xue, supported by Xue Baozhu, hurriedly walked out while reprimanding the housekeeper.

The housekeeper knelt down in front of Madame, stopped Madame, and said in a panic with a wail, "Madam, something is wrong, our house is a thief!" The four princes are here to chase the thieves! ”

When Mrs. Xue heard this, her legs instantly became weak, but if it wasn't for Xue Baozhu to support her, she was afraid that she would fall on the spot.

"Butler, you said it as it was, don't scare your mother, are there any thieves in our house, don't we know it ourselves? It must be a misunderstanding of the four princes! ”

Although Xue Baozhu looked at her round face and smiled very childishly and cutely, she was the eldest lady in the mansion after all, and now she has already reached the house, and there is still some weight in speaking in the mansion, the housekeeper listened to the words of the young lady, as if he was instantly clearer, and at that moment, he said very quickly in the direction of the young lady, "Miss, the fourth prince said that he saw a thief who assassinated the emperor's relatives enter our mansion, and he has ordered the female official of the imperial prison to enter the mansion and arrest him!" ”

Xue Baozhu's face changed at this time, if it weren't for the crowd at this time, she almost wanted to kick the housekeeper, this big thing is even talking about it now?

"Why are you still stunned? Go find some people and wait! Mother Qian, you go and take someone, and go to the backyard from the two exits of the second gate to meet the female supervisor of the command! ”

Mother Qian looked at the young lady's eyes and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Miss, the official is in a hurry, and there are not enough manpower, so we will assist the female officer in doing things." ”

After gritting her teeth, Mother Qian led the mother-in-law in the courtyard to go to the backyard first, and Steward Xue reacted and hurriedly went to gather people to collect it, preparing to "help" Mother Qian and the official to search the backyard of Xue's mansion.

Although Xue Fu has only been in Kyoto for more than a year, but this house covers a huge area, the backyard has a garden, a pond, and a heavy courtyard and a kitchen, for a while, the female official of the prison really may not be able to find the right place to search, now that Mother Qian has brought someone over, Mrs. Xue let go of half of her heart, patted her daughter's hand, and regained her composure, "Let's go!" The lord is a hall official, and now the four princes have come to the door rashly, and the lord has not had time to deliver the letter back, presumably, the four princes are not coming to our house through the normal process. Since the origin of the four princes is unknown, we have to discuss an explanation with the four princes! ”

Mrs. Xue took Xue Baozhu and went to the front yard with her head held high, ready to find the fourth prince to explain. In the front yard, Xi Yan was also a little anxious in front of the four princes.

"I don't know what happened to Zhong Chun, this Xue Mansion occupies a large area, and the layout inside is unknown, we only have a little time before they react, and when the people in the mansion react, Zhong Chun is besieged by heavy manpower, and he must not be able to find anything."

Qin Jing calmly swept the folds on her robe, and waited in place for a long time, "Zhong Chun is much more motivated than you, and she has already made thorough preparations before entering the mansion." ”

"The four princes are here, but the old man is not in the mansion. Come on, go find the eldest young master and come back, and accompany the four princes into the main hall to sit down! ”

Mrs. Xue did not come forward, her clear voice appeared first, and Xi Yan glanced at her master and greeted her aside.

Mrs. Xue came out with Xue Baozhu and greeted Qin Jing. Qin Jing got up and said bluntly, "There is Mrs. Lao Xue, but today the prince still has important things to do, so he won't enter the mansion." ”

Mrs. Xue's eyes crossed Qin Jing and Xi Yan, revealing a kind smile, "No matter what, when the fourth prince passes through the mansion, he always has to go in and sit down." If the lord comes back and knows that I didn't let the four princes enter the mansion, I'm afraid he will blame me. ”

"Yes, Fourth Prince!"

Xue Zhaofeng, the eldest prince of the Xue Mansion, hurriedly came to meet Qin Jing.

"In the past, I didn't have a chance to see each other, but today the four princes have passed the house, and our Xue family, of course, must be entertained well."

The family surrounded Qin Jing, if he was a kind person, he had already followed the Xue family to drink tea and talk at this time, but Qin Jing had been calm and self-contained since he was a child, and he didn't like to be coerced by others. ”

Xue Zhaofeng followed Qin Jing's words, "I don't know what the matter is, our Xue Mansion has something that can help, and we must do our best." ”

Xi Yan stepped forward at this time, "Xue Gongzi, an assassin who assassinated the imperial family, was actually seen entering the Xue Mansion, and our four princes came to verify." ”

Xue Zhaofeng naturally knew the reason before he came, so he asked for details at this moment, "I don't know which royal prince was assassinated, whether the assassin was a man or a woman, did he turn over and enter the Xue Mansion in broad daylight?" Why didn't the four princes mobilize the Shuntian Mansion and come over to help? Do you have to bother the four princes to come in person? My father is now busy with the affairs of the hall in the Yamen, otherwise, he can also assist the four princes to find out about this matter as soon as possible. ”

Xue Zhaofeng is naturally qualified to question the unclear procedures of the four princes, and when the head of the Xue Mansion was worried about the country in the court, he actually sent someone to search the palace privately, which not only did not agree with reason, but also chilled the hearts of the ministers of the court.

However, the fourth prince has a special status, if he wants to do something, it is just an excuse. Of course, this kind of excuse can't be found often, but for today's matter, Qin Jing didn't want to fool around like this, so naturally it was a thunderous method to personally pass through the mansion and catch the Xue family off guard.

Now that he has been there in person, and the commander has also arrived in the backyard of the Xue Mansion, it will be clear if there is a result or not, Qin Jing said at the moment, "The royal prince who was assassinated is Miss Su Zijin Su." She was assassinated outside the city today, and the murderer was Miss Jia Wenxin, who passed the house yesterday. This matter is very important, the Jia family has ordered the Hou Ye to interrogate Miss Jia's personal maid and the people in the stable, the results of the interrogation, Miss Xue must know that Miss Jia has only been to the Xue Mansion once in the past few days, except for going out of the city to practice. I took the official to the house to check whether it was related to Miss Su's case. ”

Xue Baozhu's face turned red and looked at his mother, Xue Zhaofeng's mouth widened, a little overwhelmed.

"The fourth prince, it's just the youngest daughter playing around, so she won't make such a big fuss, right? My Xue family is also the second rank of the dynasty, my father is in charge of the first department, and the sister-in-law has always been close to Miss Su, is the fourth prince's move too reckless, caring about it, or bullying me There is no one in the Xue family? ”

Xue Zhaofeng questioned the four princes for making a fuss, and Xue Baozhu also cried, "Big brother, mother, it was the daughter who caused trouble for the family." My daughter and Zijin have had many interactions since Shu County, Zijin is young and withdrawn, if I hadn't been kind enough to take her, I wouldn't have been humiliated today. Fourth Prince, did Sister Zijin ask you to come over? She's not ungrateful! ”

Sometimes, a simple thing, after being criticized by people's words, can be distorted and create many obstacles.

Xi Yan looked at the indignant Xue family, and then looked at his master, praying in his heart that the commander would appear soon.

Qin Jing was anti-guest at this time, "The Xue family doesn't need to panic, and there is no need to think about it. It's just a clue involved, come and verify. This matter will be known when the commander comes out in a while. ”
