Volume 1 Chapter 705 Walking the Water

"I see!"

After listening to Ding Ze's narration, Xu He suddenly realized.

When Zhang Lan first entered Beijing 20 years ago, he worked as a western seat in Yanzhou Bofu for a period of time.

Large households in Beijing often have the tradition of inviting people to Beijing to serve as their own western seats.

Lifting people may also choose to stay in Beijing to find a livelihood because they have not been in a subject, and the journey is too time-consuming and money-consuming.

The two hit it off.

Since Zhang Lan has been a Xixi seat in Yanzhou's uncle's house, it must have been a ...... just now

However, he Yu Ji would never have imagined that Xu He only went into the inner room twice and found out the big problem in Yongzhou Weizhong.

"Did you tell Commander Guo about Yongzhou Wei and Qu Er?"

"That's it. Commander Guo said that he would ask Commander Dong of the Fusi Division of Nanzhen to send someone to investigate! ”

"Hmm!"

As long as Dong Rui finds clues from there, and then combines them with the archival documents of the Huguang Xingdu Division, he will definitely be able to use this to tear a hole in the former military governor's mansion, and when the time comes, it will be much more convenient to act.

Thinking of this, Xu He said to Ding Ze: "It's hard work, let's go rest first!" ”

Xu He had just dealt with the matter at hand and was about to go back to the backyard to rest.

Who knows, at this moment, Liu Biao hurriedly walked in: "Don Ma, the direction of the former military capital governor's mansion is out of the water!" ”

"Huh?"

Xu He stood up "sighing" and walked to the courtyard, where a little eunuch was already waiting on a wooden ladder.

Xu He climbed the wooden ladder, and sure enough, a few streets away, the former military governor's mansion was in flames.

His heart sank, and a sense of foreboding came to his mind.

"Prepare the car!"

After thinking about it, Xu He said to Liu Biao: "Call Ding Ze and let him bring a dozen or so people with him!" ”

The noise outside became louder and louder, and the "red shops" of the Five Cities Terracotta Division and the "firemen" of the Beijing camp gathered from all directions of the city towards the former military governor's mansion with torches.

There are a total of 112 red shops in Beijing, and each shop has ten people, and the general A is responsible for regional fire prevention.

Every shop has a shop, and in case of fire or theft, they will ring the bell.

The firefighters are the professional fire brigade of this era, which belongs to the Beijing camp, once the fire in the city, or the fire in the yamen of the ministry, the Beijing camp firefighters will hear the gong and rush to the place of the incident.

At this time, candles and torches were lit in every household in the city, and there was movement in the backyard of the princess's mansion.

I saw that the princess and Sister Gu were all in the courtyard with the support of their subordinates.

"Pony, what's wrong? So noisy outside? The princess looked at her husband on the wall, and was eager to try, and wanted to go up and take a look, but with so many people present, she was a little hesitant.

Sister Gu listened to the movement outside worriedly, and after a while, she frowned slightly and said, "It's gone!" ”

"Walking on the water? Where? Zhang Huihui cushioned her feet, stretched her neck and said to Xu He, "Donkey, show me, I want to see it too!" ”

Xu He heard the movement and got off the ladder with a calm face.

At this time, the two women realized that Xu He's face was wrong.

Sister Gu said, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu He glanced at the two women: "The former military governor's mansion is burning!" ”

"Former Military Governor's Mansion?" The two women were surprised at the same time!

At this time, Ding Ze came to the courtyard with more than a dozen people with sticks in his hands, and Ding Ze said: "The horses, they are all ready!" ”

Xu He nodded and said to the two women: "You go back to rest, I'll go out!" ”

"Where are you going?" The princess asked.

Sister Gu stopped him and whispered something in the princess's ear.

When the princess heard this, she immediately looked at Xu He worriedly and said, "You, if you don't want to go, let's talk about it tomorrow!" ”

Xu He smiled, knowing that Sister Gu saw that the former military governor's mansion would not burn in the morning or night, and she would burn it the next day when she took office, there must be something strange about this matter, so remind the princess!

"It's okay, I brought a dozen people from home, don't worry!"

The princess said: "No, Liu Biao, you also bring some people and follow the pony over!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xu He wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, it was better not to worry his family, so he acquiesced.

At this moment, Liu Biao brought out four or five young men who were dressed differently from ordinary eunuchs.

These people were all wearing close-fitting short-cut clothes and holding knives in their hands, Zhang Huihui was a little relieved when she saw this: "These are the masters of the internal exercise army that Uncle Zheng sent me!" You take it, I'm a little more relieved! ”

Xu He looked at these four or five people in surprise, but he didn't expect that there was a famous internal exercise army in his mansion.

It is said that these people were all brave little eunuchs selected from the palace and trained from an early age.

It is specially used as the last line of defense for the nobles of each palace.

Seeing that everything was ready, Xu He got into the carriage: "You all go back and rest!" I probably won't be coming back to stay tonight! ”

"Stay safe!" The princess admonished.

Sister Gu didn't speak, but her eyes were full of worry!

The door of the house is open, and the dark street outside is like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, ready to choose people to eat.

Ding Ze led people out of the princess's mansion with torches to illuminate the street, and Xu He felt a little more relieved.

The car slowly drove out of the alley, the soldiers and firefighters who beat the gong outside had already gone away, in the middle of the night, there was no one on the street, just walked for a while, and came to the gate of Tong'anfang.

The shopkeeper at the gate shouted and asked, "Who?" Don't you know about the curfew?"

It turned out that since the two years of continuous entry of prisoners, the Beijing division has been three policemen in five years, so a curfew has been adopted, and no entry or exit is allowed at night.

But as long as it is not in the direction of the imperial city, the customs defense of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is still useful.

Xu He asked Ding Ze to take his name card over.

When the other party saw that it was the current champion, the horse Xu He rushed to the former military governor's mansion, and the soldiers hurriedly opened the door to let them go.

Xu He walked out of Tong'anfang under the escort of a group, and the team was quiet again, at this moment, suddenly Xu He's ears heard a muffled sound of "Du", he turned his head to look, only to see an arrow nailed to the wooden board of the carriage next to his head, shaking and buzzing.

Outside the car, Ding Ze also shouted at this time: "There are thieves!" ”

"Quick, protect the carriage!"

"Don't stop, move on! Don't stop! ”

Voices outside rang out.

Ding Ze said nervously outside the carriage: "Donkey." You okay? ”

Xu He's heart was shocked, this was the first time he was so close to death since he came to this world.

He said in as smooth a voice as he could, "It's okay! ”

"Ahh

"Ahh

Another bow and crossbow were fired, and two screams rang out among the people guarding Xu He's carriage outside the carriage.

A shrill voice rang out from the people in the internal exercise army: "The assassins are on the eastern wall!" Someone is coming in the alley to the south, ready to meet the enemy! ”

When Xu He heard this, he was shocked, there were people on the wall, and there were people blocking it in front, which was sure that he would definitely go to the former military governor's mansion at night.

This fire is evidence of destruction and bait to lure him in.

So calculating, so vicious!

In Jingzhong, he had just launched, and the other party dared to make a direct killing move against him.

Who the hell is it?

Yu Ji, is that you?
