The coachman whipped his horseback and scolded the horseman, "Rest assured, girl, please sit tight!" ”

Several of the Wei family's granges are located on the outskirts of Kyoto, and it takes at least two or three hours to drive the horses back from Gufu to the grange, passing through a few woods.

Nestled by the woods are sparsely sparse villages, with the hazy moonlight on the hills, a spring stream flowing down the hills, and a wide river and rice paddies along both banks.

"Yuyan, I've brought all the things I wanted." The cushions in the carriage were sewn with brocade, and Wei Ning sat comfortably without sleepiness, remembering what he was going to do in the Grange, so he asked casually.

"According to Madame's instructions, I brought them all." Yuyan held the burden in her arms and counted the things again.

Yuyan pondered: "Madame is sure, the steward of the grange will not make it difficult?" ”

Since Mrs. asked her to investigate the matter of the second lady, she knew that in the past few years, Aunt He has become more and more unbridled and embezzled a lot of private property in the Wei Mansion, and the lord and the eldest lady did not know about it.

If it weren't for Miss herself, the Wei Mansion's property would have been wiped out by Aunt He's litter.

"Naturally, I am sure, the greed for money in charge of this grange is like life, as long as you do what I told you before, this matter will go well."

Yuyan nodded, and Wei Ning asked her to take a nap in the carriage for a while, so as not to bump on the road and lose her energy on the grange.

When he arrived at Zhuangzi, Wei Ning was full of energy and had no sense of fatigue at all, but the girl Yuyan was dizzy from being shaken, and she had to help her when she got off the carriage.

The coachman led the carriage to the backyard, and the steward of the Grange quickly came to the courtyard with a lantern to greet him: "Madame, please come in if you are not far away!" ”

The steward of the Grange is a middle-aged man with small eyes and a high nose, he has always been close to Aunt He in private, and I heard that the second lady is going to buy these Zhuangzi and send her sister to buy them, which is also very different.

"Dare to ask Madame if she can discuss with the second lady in advance? How much money was prepared to buy these contemptible granges? ”

"This is two thousand taels of silver tickets, you can take the title deed and draw it together." According to Madame's previous instructions, Yuyan generously took out the silver ticket from the burden and threw it to the person in charge.

"Don't worry, it won't be less of your benefits!" Yuyan continued to take out the heavy money bag and handed it over, "This is Madame's private reward, as long as you don't say it, the second lady won't know." ”

As expected, the steward of the Grange counted the silver tickets and exchanged glances with a few guys in the village, afraid that he had never met such a generous buyer.

They had also inquired before, and they knew that the sister of the second young lady was married and had a status.

At this time, where do you care about Aunt He, anyway, they are all from the Wei family, and the second lady just needs to send a letter to inform her.

"Madame is really generous! The little ones are going to get the title deeds! ”

After saying that, a few people withdrew, Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Wei Ning: "Madame is really good at looking at people, and she really let Madame calculate accurately." ”

The steward of the grange brought the title deed, signed and signed it happily, and the matter was properly settled, and hurriedly took his subordinates to divide the money.

On the way back, the coachman rode faster and galloped through the dark woods, the wheels rolling and raising up clouds of dust on the road.

"The carriage ahead, stop quickly!" When the carriage arrived at the city gate, there was a sound of hurried horses' hooves in front of it, and someone shouted at the Gu family's carriage.

"Who are you? Why are you holding us back? The coachman Yuyan picked this time was still steady, and he noticed that the comer was not good, so he jumped out of front of the carriage and asked the person what he meant.

On the wall of several people high is the observation deck of Kyoto entering the city, and under it is a huge copper and iron gate, at this time it is already the third watch, it is the time when the soldiers defending the city are asleep, but it is heavily guarded, and groups of soldiers are stationed at the city gate, there must be something big happening.

The soldier in the armor of the Imperial Guards forked his spear in front of the coachman, otherwise he took a step forward.

"Keep your eyes open and take a look! We, General Yu, are searching for assassins all over the city, and we can't let go of any carriage that enters Kyoto! ”

The coachman had never seen such a battle, so he hurriedly went to the window of the car and asked, "Madam, the city gate is closed, and now I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the Gu Mansion." ”

Wei Ning had already heard what the soldiers said, and knew that Kyoto was not calm tonight, and at the same time, he was also curious about what kind of assassin could let General Yu, who was already a martial marquis, personally search for him late at night?

Looking at the gate of the city, he saw a man sitting on a sturdy black horse with a cold and arrogant face, his eyes locked on the carriage, and he held the reins with both hands on the horse's back, and his eyes had a hint of unexplained provocation.

"It turns out that Marquis Yu is here," Wei Ning asked Yuyan and the coachman to wait for her at the carriage, walked towards the city gate by himself, stood in front of the Imperial Forest Army and said with a smile, "Please be accommodating, let us enter the city?" ”

Last time Shang Guifei's birthday banquet, she helped Princess Lehua and offended Yu Wuhou at the same time, but if you want to keep the trajectory of the original book unchanged, it is also a last resort!

Yu Yuhan glanced at the woman in front of him who behaved differently from ordinary people, his mood was extremely complicated, his eyes were on her deliberately dressed clothes, and then he looked away and said coldly.

"This general has official duties, and all vehicles entering the city tonight will be strictly investigated."

Wei Ning spread his hands and said obediently: "That is the case, Hou Ye can check it!" ”

The iron-faced marquis waved his hand, and the Imperial Forest Army behind him walked to the carriage and carefully inspected it from the inside to the outside until nothing suspicious was found.

"Master Hou can be satisfied now, right? There are no assassins hidden in the carriage, please let the Hou Ye go! Wei Ning asked politely, turned around and got into the carriage to leave.

"Wait!" Who knew that there was a cold cheer behind him.

Marquis Yu slammed the horse's belly and came to the carriage, and he said to the people in the carriage with a gloomy face: "I want to remind Mrs. Gu that going out of the city overnight will be suspicious." ”

Frightened by the presence of an Assassin at the palace tonight, he led his men to guard the gates of the city in order not to let the suspicious people go.

Unexpectedly, a carriage mysteriously returned from outside the city at night, even if it had nothing to do with the Assassins, its appearance was really suspicious.

In addition, this woman intends to break up him and Lan Xin, and she has already had a mustard in her heart, and she is already upset when she is entangled in everything.

If he disturbs the affairs of him and Lan Xin in the future, he will not let go of the Gu family and the Wei family at that time!

"What's the matter in the Gu Mansion that requires Mrs. Gu to go out of the city late at night? Ben Hou didn't investigate, and I hope that I will do it myself in the future, and if I interfere in Ben Hou's private affairs in the future, Ben Hou will never be soft again. ”

The warning could not be more obvious, but it was another horse's belly, and the crowd of Royal Forest soldiers behind him opened the way and the city gate was wide open.

"Hou Ye was too worried, but I still thanked Hou Ye for letting him go." Wei Ning lifted the curtain and added, "Coachman, drive!" ”

Unwilling to think about the deep meaning of Marquis Yu's words, as in the palace that day, what she knew was that Marquis Yu in the original book did not marry Xiao Lanxin after all.

It was and will be!

No matter how reluctant General Yu is, it is already doomed, and as for Marquis Yu's prejudice, it doesn't matter.

Retracting his fluctuating thoughts, the most important thing now is to rush back to the mansion, so as not to be noticed by the Qin clan's eyeliner.
