The capital is calmer than expected.

This is Wang Ye's thoughts after returning to Beijing.

After the loss of Mr. Origami, the emperor lost his eyes, and the whole city no longer had those black and white guards, which also gave Wang Ye the mind to take a slow walk and take a look.

But it doesn't feel right!

"Shopkeeper." Looking for a teahouse, Wang Ye found a quiet location relatively close to the corner, but to say that quiet is not absolutely quiet, the capital seems to be a lot more lively, the business of this kind of small teahouse is excellent, and there are people everywhere.

"Eh, guest officer, what do you command?" The shopkeeper saw that Wang Ye was wearing a long robe, and hurriedly and politely served tea in person.

"In less than a few months, how did the capital become so lively?" Wang Ye said curiously.

"Isn't it a war yet?" The shopkeeper sighed.

"War-torn?" Wang Ye squinted: "Is there a war in Jiangnan?" ”

"What kind of war is that in Jiangnan?" The shopkeeper said with a smile: "With Lord Qin Guogong personally out of the horse, who would worry about being there?" ”

Wang Ye nodded when he heard this, Qin Guogong has a great reputation, and most of the people, especially the people in the capital, are extremely trusting, and Jiangnan is completely blocked, even if there are refugees, they can't get out, and the excitement in the capital should not be caused by Jiangnan.

"That's?"

"Don't you know? The northern side. Rebellion! ”

"North?" Wang Ye choked on a sip of tea and put down the teacup: "When did it happen?" ”

"The guest officer really doesn't know?" The shopkeeper hurriedly whispered: "It's all spread all over, Wei Guogong united with the northern countries, what did your majesty say that our majesty was bewitched by demons, and wanted to clear the monarch's righteous path, and all the princes in the capital were dragged to suppress the north, and it has been a month since they left."

"A month?" Wang Ye was stunned, isn't it the time for the eldest princess to lead the team to Jiangnan in a month?

He said that with the emperor's careful eye to balance the Duke of Qin, how could he send Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, it is clear that the Hong family and the Wei Chi family are the most loyal and suitable.

The eldest princess has been idle for many years, and suddenly leading the troops is very wrong.

So what did the eldest princess do in the capital? Can you get the command of the Golden Dragon Guard?

What is the situation in Beijing today?

What is Your Majesty's attitude now?

Why do the people around you seem to know nothing about the situation in Jiangnan?

"So these people came to the capital from the north to avoid chaos?" Wang Ye asked tentatively.

"Isn't it?" The shopkeeper nodded: "Most of them are rich businessmen, or have relatives around the capital, eh, but the capital is a miasma, don't you know, those hillbillies, used to eating big bowls of tea in the north, come here and say that we are cheating people, we have been doing business for so many years, these dirt buns. Do you think the tea here can be compared with the local tea in their north? ”

When he was chattering, he looked back, but found that Wang Ye had disappeared at some point, and he was suddenly startled, and then he was relieved when he saw the copper coins on the table.

It's still a scholar

On the street, Wang Ye walked all the way towards Wei Chi's mansion with solemnity!

Along the way, the people don't seem to be worried about the situation in Jiangnan, is it because the imperial court is hiding it too well, or is the news not coming at all?

The eldest princess treasoned, the 300,000 golden dragon guards were lost, and the entire army of the Duke of Qin was annihilated, such a big matter, the civil and military forces of the imperial court wouldn't be waiting for their own reports, right?

It's hard to do it. Does everyone in the capital, including the emperor, know nothing about the current situation in Jiangnan?

Wang Ye felt a little ridiculous, the emperor and the major families didn't have eyeliner at all?

The eldest princess can handle it so cleanly, her own people have rushed over from Jiangnan, and there is no news yet?

What's going on in the imperial court now?

Wang Ye felt that before entering the palace to report, he still had to inquire again, and in the entire capital, if he wanted to say that there was anyone else who was trusted, it was only Yu Chipeng.

——

"Lord Shaoqing came unfortunately, it is just the time for the master and the young master Peng to exchange values, you wait a minute."

The one who came to receive was the old housekeeper, Wang Ye was very familiar with this housekeeper, this is the old man of the Wei Chi family who is said to have been serving the old man of the Wei Chi family when the old generation of the head of the family was still alive, and he was more than 100 years old.

"I'm sorry." Wang Ye said politely.

The old housekeeper just smiled, but when he was pouring the tea, he still asked, "Lord Shaoqing."

"Huh?"

"Is the demon who harmed the old lady really dead?"

Wang Ye was stunned for a moment, and looked at the other party with some doubts, the life and death of the thousand-faced fox is forbidden to be discussed, after all, there were too many cases involved in the original case, not only the old lady of the Wei Chi family had an accident, but even the queen mother had an accident.

It stands to reason that not to mention an old housekeeper of the Wei Chi family, even the old family master should not be allowed to inquire about this matter, why did he suddenly mention it?

"The old slave is just curious, don't blame Lord Shaoqing." The old housekeeper smiled and refilled the hot tea for Wang Ye again, and said: "The old slave said goodbye first, what is the order of Lord Shaoqing, let the little servant come to find the old slave, after Young Master Peng comes back, I will let him come to you as soon as possible." ”

"I'm tired." A trace of strangeness rose in Wang Ye's heart, and he got up to send him off.

"Your Excellency is gracious."

After the other party left, Wang Ye suddenly felt a little strange, the position where the other party walked seemed to be the courtyard where the old lady used to be, but as far as he knew, after the old lady died, the old master of the old family of Wei Chi seemed to seal the courtyard because he was too sad, right?

In this way, I don't know how long it took, Wang Ye smelled a hint of food, so he got up in confusion and looked at the sky.

As a warlock, his Shen Qi kung fu is very strong, even if it is a semi-meditative state, a few hours can pass quickly for him, but this does not seem to be normal for a Wei Chi family who wants to receive him.

It's already evening, no matter what, it's time for Yu Chipeng to come back, right?

Thinking of this, Wang Ye walked outside, and suddenly saw a group of subordinates constantly carrying plates to the position of the middle courtyard, all of which were large pieces of meat, and the fragrance was fragrant.

"Huh? Lord Shaoqing? A middle-aged housekeeper who was in charge of directing his subordinates to serve food suddenly saw Wang Ye and hurriedly stepped forward: "When did you come?" ”

Wang Ye looked at each other in a daze, didn't he come at noon? Didn't this housekeeper still greet him before?

Is this a deliberate attempt to snub yourself?

This is actually reasonable, after all, the death of the old lady of Yuchi was indeed related to himself, if the demon fox was not to deceive himself, he would not choose to do it to the old lady, strictly speaking, it seems that it is not too much to say that the old lady was killed by himself.

Although Lao Taijun is a mortal, he is very respected in the Wei Chi family, and he is not welcomed, which is actually normal.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye suddenly felt a little presumptuous, when Wei Chi's family was doing white things, he had not been able to comfort Wei Chipeng for a few words because he was investigated, and there were more things later, and he had not visited the other party, but now that he had something, he thought of the other party, which did not seem to be a normal way of doing things as a person.

Huh?

Why do you say that?

"Eh, what kind of minion is it, Wang Shaoqing, you can't treat you well when you come, if the young master knows, won't you scold us to death?" The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Shaoqing, wait a minute, I'll go and inform the young master." ”

Wang Ye glanced at the scale of the dishes served and asked, "Is it a gathering of Wei Chi's family today?" ”

"Eh, today is Young Master Peng's birthday, Lord Shaoqing, you also came to congratulate Young Master, right?" The butler hurriedly smiled.

Wang Ye was silent, birthday

I seem to have forgotten.

"Forget it, this official temporarily remembered that there was something, so he left first, please say hello to Brother Peng on my behalf."

"Eh, Lord Shaoqing, don't be like this, we can't afford to explain it like you." The housekeeper hurriedly stopped.

Wang Ye frowned and glanced at him, the other party's expression didn't seem to be mocking himself, he was really in a hurry, did he really forget to see himself at noon?

Just as he was thinking, a familiar voice stopped him.

"Hey, it's Wang Shaoqing?"

Wang Ye looked over, and it was a tall, dark-skinned young man who spoke, Wang Ye recognized that it was one of the concubines of the Yu Chi family, Yu Chi Fei, he remembered that he was a very pragmatic guy, and his personality was neither as violent and arrogant as Yu Chi Feihong, nor as favored and flying as Yu Chi Feihu, and he was an inconspicuous guy.

But he remembered that the other party seemed to be serving in the north, and there was a war in the north, why did he come back?

"What did Lord Shaoqing come from?" The young general stepped forward and saluted, the salute was thoughtful, and his smile was also sincere, which was a little similar to Wei Chipeng.

Wang Ye nodded: "Come at noon." ”

"Why hasn't anyone been notified about this? These minions! Anger flashed on the young man's face suddenly, and then he hurriedly said: "Lord Shaoqing, please join me at the table, my brother will be very happy to know that you can come to his birthday." ”

Wang Ye hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, it is always more important to inquire about intelligence, Yu Chipeng seems to be in charge of the forbidden army with the old family master, and it is most appropriate to find out how the eldest princess got the military power from him.

After all, Jin Longwei's control is already largely managed by the Wei Chi family!

"Who received Wang Shaoqing at noon? A certain meeting will definitely teach a good lesson! ”

Wang Ye shook his head with a smile: "No, Uncle He is old, and it's normal to forget me for a while." ”

He wasn't worried that the old butler would be taught a lesson, after all, the seniority was there.

"Uncle He?" As soon as Wang Ye's words came out, the young man's face stiffened.

"What's wrong?" Wang Ye said curiously, and he suddenly found that the people around him also had strange expressions when they heard the words Uncle He.

"Shaoqing, don't laugh." Wei Chifei frowned: "Uncle He. A month ago, I missed the old lady too much and passed away. ”

Wang Ye: "."
