Volume 1 Mu Xuanzhou Chapter 18 Past Events (1)
Although Huang Guangyi didn't catch anyone, the information was reported to Li Congyi, and he still got Li Congyi's attention. Although Li Congyi also felt strange, he had to guard against people. immediately ordered Huang Guangyi to continue to be responsible for finding out this person, and asked Yang Fei to cooperate at any time. However, Yang Fei's guards have also been transferred a few people, and now they will be enough to stand guard at the gate in shifts.
However, Huang Guangyi felt that this kind of thing, it was useless to have a lot of people, the key was to find this person. Huang Guangyi went to the surrounding taverns and restaurants to inquire, and really inquired.
But they all said that they hadn't come in the past few days. Could it be that he startled the snake that day and left?
But Xu Le'an did not leave.
After leaving the alley that day, he found a family with an attic from the alley diagonally opposite the alley of the Guogong Mansion, so that he could rent the attic for a month and take care of the food by the way. For the sake of the silver taels, the family still agreed. Then in the past few days, Xu Le'an has been in the attic, staring at the alley of Grandpa Guo's house.
According to Xu Le'an's idea, Xu Meilan went to the Guogong Mansion to be a maid, but she couldn't stay out of the door and not go out for a whole month, right?
Huang Guangyi's clue was interrupted, and he didn't have a clue for a while, so he simply put on makeup and squatted at the mouth of the alley.
Huang Guangyi pretended to be a homeless man, and at noon, he took out some dry and hard rice balls from his pocket and chewed them, and then he saw Xu Meilan and his party slowly returning.
Xu Meilan stayed in the kiln for a night and returned to the city the next day.
She took several entourage, went upstream, and returned to Xuancheng at noon. Entering the city, Xu Meilan also wanted to lead the horse like everyone else, and didn't want everyone to persuade him unanimously, but let Xu Meilan continue to ride the horse, led by others and walk slowly, and rest for a while. Xu Meilan didn't bother everyone's kindness.
Huang Guangyi squatted on the ground, but he had to look up and slant to see the edges and corners of the eaves behind the street. Huang Guang patted his head urgently, only to remember that in addition to the hotel, that person may also be staying in someone's house, and it is in this area.
At that moment, Huang Guangyi ran away, quickly changed his body, and went door to door from the alley across the street to ask someone. I only asked a few people, and one of them panicked when he heard it, although he denied seeing it, but his tone couldn't hide his trembling. Huang Guang sent him into the third room of the alley at a glance, and looked up at the attic of his house, the attic was not low, and there was no shelter in front of it, so he should be able to see the alley of the Guogong Mansion.
But he beckoned the guards standing guard, and soon two people rushed out from behind the door and rushed straight to the door of the house.
Here, Xu Le'an finally saw Xu Meilan, surrounded by several entourages, but she came from outside the street. It must have been missed when he went out, Xu Le thought with peace of mind. After all, Xu Le'an is not staring at the Guogong Mansion all the time, and when Xu Meilan enters and exits several times, she appears in the crowd together, and she misses it if she doesn't pay attention.
This time, Xu Meilan sat alone on the horse, which was quite conspicuous. Looking at this, Xu Meilan should still have a certain status in the Guogong Mansion. But thinking about it, it should be like this, she is a famous lady, and when she finally returns to a wealthy family, she will be like a good bird to meet a good wood. Just thinking of his sister, Xu Le'an felt heartache again.
At this moment, I heard a sudden change in the courtyard.
"Who?!"
"Hit someone!"
"Help!"
The housewife of the house let out a series of shouts, and then heard heavy footsteps approaching quickly.
Xu Le'an secretly said that it was not good, grabbed the burden, and slipped down the stairs from lying down, regardless of the pain in his back, he pushed open the door and ran to the other side of the courtyard wall, seeing the three people chasing quickly, Xu Le'an took a breath, his left foot was on the courtyard wall a little, and his right hand hooked the courtyard wall, and he had already turned over the wall as soon as he bent over.
The courtyard wall of this family is higher, but it is difficult for Xu Le'an, I saw that his left foot was on the courtyard wall, and he turned his body and stepped on the trunk of the poplar tree next to the courtyard with his right foot.
Xu Le'an turned around proudly, but was surprised to see a person emerging from the other side of the wall, then squatting and going up to the courtyard wall, and then he reached out to fish out another person, and then jumped down from the wall.
It was inconvenient to run on the street, so Xu Le'an ran wildly into the alley. The two guards of the Guogong Mansion just chased after them. Thanks to the small alleys in the county, Xu Le'an relied on several emergency changes of direction to not be dragged down. Just running so fast, the whole lungs soon burned like a fire, and the whole world was almost only the sound of their own gasps.
At this time, there was a sudden attack on the side of the road in front of him, and when he turned around, he pulled out a stick and swept it on Xu Le'an's legs.
Huang Guang pressed Xu Le'an to the ground, "Ye can't run away from you, but go around in circles in this alley to see if Ye doesn't kill you." ”
————
The news that the guards of the Guogong Mansion had caught an assassin soon spread in the right courtyard. Xu Meilan didn't think about this, in her mind, Xu Le'an only needed to ask someone casually at the mouth of the pit, and she should know that she was very comfortable in the Guogong Mansion now; If you want to see yourself and come to the Guogong Mansion generously, you will definitely be treated with courtesy, after all, he is Xu Meilan's own brother.
Many times, people have misconceptions. When Xu Meilan was in the pit, she felt that Xu Le'an worked for the clan, and her words in the clan also had weight, that is, she was her "mother-in-law's house" in the pit, and she was polite when she saw Xu Le'an.
But she thought it was much worse. In essence, Xu Meilan is a typical person with a high IQ but low EQ, which is no problem in financial work, anyway, everyone has to confront her, she acts according to the rules, takes the system and process seriously, and never looks at people's dishes, which has become a noble quality.
But on the second day, when she heard the rumors in the outer office, Xu Meilan couldn't sit still.
It turned out that Li Chunhua and Li Qiushi, that is, the two "Yangzhou Thin Horses" sent by Li Congyi sent by Dong Jingye, chatted with others in the office, saying that the assassin was originally quite handsome, but his face was broken by a scar; He also said that the assassin was quite capable of carrying it, and he was and grinded by Captain Yang for so long, and he still didn't say a word.
Chunhua and Qiushi were bought from Yangzhou by Dong Jingye and his son as early as last year, because Dong Jingye felt that the gift had to be sent to the joint. This joint is Jiang Guogong's lonely appointment.
On the one hand, the reason why Jiang Guogong took office is that since ancient times, China has been a rogue official system, and when he becomes an official, he has to leave his hometown and home. Those who drag their families around to take office often have only one possibility, that is, they are really poor and have no other family resources. Of course, Jiang Guogong will not be poor, and his wife naturally has to guard the big house and take the baby; What's more, the father is gone, but the Queen Mother is still there, and the Duchess naturally has to visit the Queen Mother's mother-in-law in the palace regularly, and by the way, she will disturb the queen's sister-in-law.
On the other hand, Jiang Guogong has no concubines. The reason why Jiang Guogong does not have a concubine is that the family behind his wife, Huangfu Yunying, is not simple. Even the prince of Jiangguo is a royal family, and he has to consider the attitude of the imperial family. Huangfu Yunying's father is Huangfu Jixun, and his father is Huangfu Hui. Later Zhou (Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutiny overthrew the Later Zhou) attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty and captured the Southern Tang Jiangbei Prefectures, Huang Fuhui was defeated in Huainan, seriously injured and captured, and died without surrendering to the doctor. After Li Yu ascended the throne, he reused the former military ministers and their children, but the Southern Tang Dynasty had already scattered the stars, with the gradual death of the old ministers, the emperor Fu Jixun was one step ahead, and he was one step ahead of others everywhere.
Huangfu has been married to Li Congyi for nearly 12 years, and he is only 27 years old at this time, and he has two daughters for Li Congyi. At this time, Li Congyi was only 30 years old, and the two were at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and there was no risk of having children, so no one would have anything to find to persuade Li Congyi to take a concubine.
However, it is not enough to enjoy Jiang Guogong, not to mention Jinling City, it is this Xuancheng, the official prostitute private column, not Jiang Guogong wants to go? It is Jiang Guogong who has a concubine in Xuancheng, as long as he does not welcome him to Jinling, the Huangfu family will also let it go.
Jiang Guogong and Huangfu are in harmony on the surface, but Li Congyi doesn't like Huangfu in his heart, and Huangfu is not indifferent, but he is helpless. This is also the reason why Jiang Guogong went to Xuancheng, and there was no woman in the other courtyard to serve, and the Huangfu family was deliberately indulgent.
Dong Jingye's level is not enough, his vision is not high enough, he can't understand the mystery behind this, and he thinks that he has found a good opportunity to tie up Jiang Guogong. However, after Jiang Guogong took office, he almost ignored political affairs, let alone interfered in Ningguo's military, so he never found an opportunity to give gifts.
It wasn't until this time that Jiang Guogong sent a signal of "come and bribe me" through the secondment of the battalion command, and Dong Jingye sent the two Yangzhou thin horses to the Guogong Mansion. Dong Jingye thought that he had a plan, and when Xu Meilan came to Xuanyao, he asked Hou Hongye. Hou Hongye also knew that Dong Jingye had given Jiang Guogong a Yangzhou thin horse, so he couldn't help but nod it, and when Dong Jingye understood the key, he also broke out in a cold sweat for a while. I thought that if Jiang Guogong really accepted the two singers, if he had another heir, I was afraid that the Huangfu family would really hate him, and his career and business career would probably be over. But since the person has been sent, there is no reason to take it back, for the current situation, he and Hou Hongye said, can only hope that Jiang Guogong can do great things, and he can cover himself in the future.
Besides, Chunhua and Qiushi arrived at Xu Meilan's Planning and Finance Department, and they got started quickly. After all, they are people who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and everything is proficient, and this knowledge of accounting is not difficult for them, but the two of them are active, not the master of peace. Xu Meilan directly arranged for them to stay in the right courtyard, because it was convenient to take care of those orphans, but in fact, she didn't want them to wander around the backyard of the Guogong Mansion at night.
However, Chunhua and Qiushi have received professional training after all. Therefore, Xu Meilan is pleasing to the eye, and it is all right; It is also kind to others, and it has greatly improved the service attitude of the Program Finance Division. Chunhua and Qiushi were busy with the work at hand, so they used the excuse to hang out in the courtyard of the Guogong Mansion, and Xu Meilan couldn't restrain herself.
Xu Meilan felt something, and didn't care that the two girls were chatting too loudly in the office, so she hurriedly went to the front yard of the Guogong Mansion.
