Chapter 88: Heavy Rain
The general guards are bought by large families since childhood, and they are trained at home, Yi Lingfeng is gone, Yi Lingyun is not a climate, most of the people who buy are adults, and they can't make a look if they ask Master Wu to train, and in the end they don't become guards, and they barely use them as a family.
These family members were sent out today to find the whereabouts of the little marquis, and they searched for several days, but they were not found.
"A bunch of rice-eating waste! Go to the police!" Mrs. Yi couldn't bear it anymore and decided to report to the official.
"No, old lady, what if we report to the official and the other party is not good for the little marquis?"
Old Madam Yi moved her eyebrows: "If the children of the people are gone, they all have to report to the official, not to mention the Hou Ye, the old man thinks that he can report directly to the emperor."
Mrs. Yi said, she actually felt that she was very reasonable, so she asked people to prepare a sedan chair and go to the palace.
"Don't, old lady!"
Old Madam Yi turned around suddenly, staring at Aunt Yu with eagle-like eyes: "You are very strange today, why don't you let the old man go to report to the official?" You aunts who can't get on the stage, you know to panic when you encounter something, where can you find it yourself faster than the government?"
"But my daughter-in-law heard that the government reported that there were many missing, but she didn't really find them!"
"Sister, what's the matter, isn't it a matter of course to report a disappearance? How can there be so many people in the Hou Mansion looking for it outside?"
Knowles's voice was delicate and weak, but it pierced Aunt Yu's heart.
Aunt Lou is Yi Lingfeng's other concubine. After Yi Lingfeng gained power, Mrs. Yi wanted her mother's family to marry over, and Knowles was the most popular with her, so she chose Knowles at the beginning. It's a pity that Yi Lingfeng died early, and Knowles took the initiative to stay and take care of her, so she was more inclined to Knowles.
To say that Aunt Yu has a son, she should be regarded as the most important concubine in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, but the most favored by Mrs. Yi is this Lou's.
"Knowles is right! Have you heard? You stay in the house every day and don't hear anything outside the window, where will you hear about this?" Old Madam Yi naturally helped. It's still Knowles who understands her best.
So Mrs. Yi went to Jingzhao Mansion, and Knowles also wanted to follow, but Mrs. Yi didn't let her.
Aunt Yu sneered, "Without a son, it's useless to be favored by the old lady!"
Old Madam Yi went to Jingzhao Mansion, so the woman in purple heard her conversation with Liu Si there.
Why does she feel that the relationship between Mrs. Yi and Liu Si seems to be very unusual?
Back in the Wild Grass Hall, she asked Yan Niangzi and Qi Yunyu to find them and ask them if they knew about the ghost cave.
This time, Qi Yunyue didn't know, but Yan Niangzi understood a little: "It's a big mine. The girl asked what this is?"
"The two children I saved that day were taken to the ghost cave, and I was just curious."
Yan Niangzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Girl, don't go to that place, it's really not a good place, I've heard people say that it's really a ghost cave."
The old fortune teller said that her son was blessed in the house of a rich man, so he shouldn't be in that ghost cave!
Will Zhenbei Hou also be caught in the ghost cave? It seems that Gu Yuanliang's ability is not small, and he was able to rescue two children from the legendary ghost cave.
Aunt Yu returned to her parents' home.
"How rare, who am I? So my little sister is back?" When Aunt Yu heard this voice, her face was full of disgust.
"Where's Daddy?"
"What is the little sister looking for her father for? It's the same with looking for the eldest brother, my father has been busy lately, but not everyone can see it. Moreover, now I am in charge of many things, and my younger sister has not come back since she got married, so there must be something wrong when she comes back, so let's talk to my eldest brother."
Aunt Yu stared at the man in front of her, Yu Lang, the eldest son of the Yu Mansion. Now he's in charge of everything? I don't believe it when she is killed, is her father the kind of person who is willing to let go of power?
"I'm looking for my father!"
"Then little sister, please go back, Dad won't see you." Yu Lang has always had a smiling face, but Aunt Yu felt a chill from this smiling face.
"You're talking nonsense."
"What did you do behind your father's back? You know it yourself, and then the East Window incident happened, and Dad was very angry, that time,
Our family has lost a lot, have you reflected on it?"
"What did you say? I don't know." Aunt Yu hid a trace of panic.
Yu Lang sneered: "Don't do things for your own imagination, it will ruin our big things, you go back and think about it!"
"Big brother."
The man who had just turned around was stopped, and he looked at her sister-in-law with great interest, who was now the "head of the house" of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, and suddenly sneered.
"You say, I'll listen."
"Brother Han is gone."
"What do you mean?"
"Brother Han is missing, I don't know who did it, can you send someone to help me find it, if there is no Brother Han, you won't be able to get the good of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, right?" Aunt Yu was very afraid of this eldest brother, or because she was worried about her son, she trembled a little when she spoke.
"Why don't you say something early, and how to make it clear."
Aunt Yu breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that her son would disappear, and the family would give up on her directly!
The government doesn't look for it, do you go back to your parents' house to find someone? The Knowles sent someone to follow Aunt Yu, and after hearing the report, his face showed disdain.
Knowles was not so lucky, like Aunt Yu, she was pregnant with the general's son early, but she knew how to make the old lady happy, why didn't she marry again? At the beginning, her aunt, Mrs. Yi, ostensibly let her leave after the general's death.
"Now that it's like this, I'll write a letter to release my wife, find a good family, and it won't be difficult for you to marry again."
What can you find a good family, a widowed woman, who was still a concubine before, what good family can you find?
"A concubine is already a general, she will be a general for the rest of her life, and she is also a general's ghost when she dies, and she will definitely not remarry, even if she can't be buried with the general after death, the concubine is willing."
She didn't agree, with what she knew about her aunt, if she agreed, her aunt would make the decision to marry her to a man who couldn't be on the stage, where could she live a good life?
Mrs. Yi was very satisfied with Knowles's answer, and it turned out that she was only six points good, but it rose directly to eight points.
Now, she is holding the official silver of the Hou Mansion, and her aunt will not know what she wants.
If Aunt Yu's son is really gone, it will not be a bad thing for her, and in the case that everyone has no son, she must be the best one in Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
Today she was so happy that she passed a small note.
In a small courtyard where people come and go in Nancheng, after the two of them turned over the clouds and rain, Knowles got up and looked at himself like a peach blossom in the bronze mirror, and he was in a very happy mood.
What's so good about having a son? Like Yu's, with a child, he worries about everything, he has wrinkles at a young age, and he is not loved by men, and he ages quickly.
Aunt Yu has been unable to sleep for the past few days, and she received a message from her brother early this morning.
"They didn't do it? Who's that?"
The letter said that the merchants of Xicheng had embarked on the journey back to the northwest, and there was nothing wrong on the way, and there was no trace of the little marquis in the mansion of the capital, and the whole family of the man in Nancheng was relatively wooden, and it was impossible to kidnap the child.
Aunt Yu specially asked her brother to help her check these two people that day, over the years, she has shot a few times one after another, and she has never missed, but this time, she has taken away two people, and both of them have been found back, which is really unlucky!
What's even more unexpected is that not long after, her son is gone, and she naturally suspects the two families.
Although Mama Gong said that even if Feng Changning's child is still there, it is impossible for anyone to recognize it, and no one will believe it if she recognizes it, but she still doesn't feel at ease, over the years, as long as she sees a child who looks even a little similar to Yi Lingfeng or Feng Changning and is of the same age, she will find a way to get people out of the capital and send them to the ghost cave.
In the first two years, those children were even younger, only two or three years old, and if they went to the ghost cave, they would die, but these four or five years old, if they persisted for a few days and were not found, they would also die.
Where will her brother Han go? , if she knows who harmed her, she will definitely not let it go!
Under the calm on the surface of the capital, there is a hidden deceit, and under the good situation of Anguo, there are also natural and man-made disasters
。
On this day, the palace received an urgent report from the south, which was not sent from Nanjing, but from the nearest county town to Nanjing-Fuyang.
Some time ago, a team of people was waiting for Qi Yuncang, who returned to Beijing, and the latter was really delayed for a few days when he went to Daqingshan, and Miss Su's master did not let his apprentice, Miss Su's master, go down the mountain to save the Queen Mother and Miss Su, and let him wear out his mouth, and the old man was indifferent, only pulling him to play chess.
Later, Qi Yuncang finally forced a draw, and the old man loosened his mouth, telling him that in fact, Miss Su's master had already gone down the mountain to save people.
He was really angry in his heart, and reason told him that he couldn't have a seizure, so he went down the mountain, but he didn't expect Daqingshan's formation to be good, Qingluan Mountain's formation was really not enough to see compared to it, he cracked it for a long time, and it took three days to come out.
When he arrived at Fuyang all the way, he saw a few people waiting for him at the inn in Fuyang, and the other few people were gone, and they went south first, but it is said that after they arrived at Fuyang, the weather has not been good, and it is raining heavily every day, and when Qi Yuncang arrived, they had no way to go south.
Walking forward, they had to pass through several mountain bridges, all of which were interrupted by wind and rain, and they couldn't contact the team in front of them, let alone the officials in Nanjing. They went to Fuyang County every day to wait for news.
They are the supervisors, in fact, the project has already started, but this year's flood season came early, the project was not completed, the rainy season came, and once it came, it never stopped.
Qi Yuncang estimated that Nanjing had flooded.
After waiting for another day, an official from Nanjing finally broke through the defense line, went all the way to Fuyang, and brought news from Nanjing.
This person was one of the people in Qi Yuncang's team who went to Nanjing first.
"When the adults arrived in Duoshui County in Nanjing, they were trapped, and there was really no way to move forward, the river in Duoshui County burst its banks, and several adults were washed away by the river, and the small ones were also washed away by the water, thanks to grabbing a piece of driftwood, they were able to escape."
Thinking of his escape experience, the man broke out in a cold sweat, and now he was still afraid.
A fellow official had a chill down his spine, and he sighed, "Thanks to us waiting for Qi Shizi here, otherwise, now—"
Others felt the same way, and there were still many whispers about waiting for Qi Yuncang before, but at this moment, it was the joy and gratitude after the lucky escape.
The situation in Duoshui County is so bad, there are many waters in the entire Nanjing, and the water conservancy project is only half repaired, I am afraid it will not be enough to alleviate the pressure of this flood.
Qi Yuncang immediately wrote a letter and asked the post station in Fuyang to be sent to the capital for 600 miles as soon as possible.
Where else is there a six-hundred-mile rush, and now the horses can run thankfully.
