Chapter Seventy-Three: Fruitless and Identification
"Madame is joking, how can the people in General Fan's Mansion do something that violates the law, I will let the brothers make way for Madame." The people of the Sikou Mansion said with interest.
"Thank you." Mrs. Mo raised her eyebrows and thanked her, and closed the curtains.
The You family, who was guarded in the open-air courtyard by the Sikou Mansion, was very angry when they saw You Xi sitting in a warm and comfortable carriage, You Zhengming pointed to the carriageway, "Honorable driver, there are also my You family's eldest daughter-in-law and eldest granddaughter in that car, they are still disobedient and unfilial to me as a father today, I want to sue them." ”
"Shut up, who has time to take care of your family's disobedience and unfilial piety, you quickly recruit gunpowder and hide it, and you can make a good deal." The official of the Sikou Mansion said impatiently.
You Zhengming was stunned, his face was ugly, but he immediately said, "Zunjia, how can we have gunpowder, we have only been here for a few days, but my eldest granddaughter has lived here for a few years, so it is possible for her to hide gunpowder, and I don't know how she has anything to do with General Fan's family, General Fan is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, you must investigate clearly, otherwise the saint will be in danger." ”
Mrs. Mo and You Xi, who were sitting in the carriage, heard this, they gritted their teeth angrily, You Xi even lifted the curtain and glared at You Zhengming, You Zhengming didn't count if he pulled her into the water, he still wanted to pollute the Fan family, didn't he know that this was a very fatal word?
"Madam, it seems that the move has to be suspended."
"Suspend what, pause, continue to move, I don't believe it, what a few stupid things say, the people of Sikou Mansion will believe it, and it's not a wine bag and rice bag." Mrs. Mo said indignantly.
After a few breaths, Mrs. Mo was slapped in the face.
The people of Sikou Mansion listened to You Zhengming's words, and then they came to knock on the carriage and asked Mrs. Mo to send You Xi and Mrs. Chai out.
"Madam, we can't leave, can you help us move our luggage over first?" You Xi stopped Mrs. Mo from clashing with Si Koufu, turned his head and jumped out of the carriage.
"It doesn't matter what they do, whether there is gunpowder or not, they can smell it as soon as they smell it, and they have to care, it's obviously to find faults, and it's a big deal to disassemble the luggage for them to see."
Now that gunpowder has been initially used in the war, Fan Qi is a military general, and Mrs. Mo is a family member of a military general, how can she not know what gunpowder is.
She never liked the pungent smell of gunpowder.
In this part of Jingshan, there is no pungent smell of gunpowder at all, but the smell has not gone away for a long time, and I don't know which toilet blew up.
"Madam, just listen to me, for the sake of General Fan, you can't make trouble easily." Swim in the stream.
Fan Qi guards the border in the south, and every year during the Chinese New Year, he will return to Beijing to report on his work and stay in the capital, and the rest of the time is on the border, and there is little contact with the officials in the capital, and the relationship between people is already poor.
Mrs. Mo and General Fan were one and the same, and after listening to Youxi's words, they could only reluctantly let Youxi and Mrs. Chai get out of the car.
After You Xi and Mrs. Chai went to the You family, the people of Si Kou Mansion pushed them unceremoniously.
You Xi held Mrs. Chai, glared at the official of the Sikou Mansion, and then calmly took out the holy decree, "You can ask, but I have to remind you first, my grandmother has a holy decree, if you push my aunt and cause the holy decree to bump into it, don't blame me for causing you to lose your errand." ”
The eldest granddaughter of the former household servant Lang You's family, who was raided, once entered the palace with a holy decree to meet Emperor Hongxi, and finally got a reward, and the people have heard of it.
Although the officials who came to the Sikou Mansion today are still only in the last official position, they will also talk about this matter when they drink and chat.
However, ordinary small talk is ordinary small talk, seeing the holy decree with their own eyes is seeing the holy decree with their own eyes, at this moment, seeing You Xi take out the holy decree, they are all polite to You Xi and Mrs. Chai, "We also obey orders, as long as you don't have gunpowder here, we won't do anything to you." ”
"Naturally, the people's daughter didn't dare to disturb the official on an errand, just to give a reminder." You Xi also responded modestly and kindly, but his eyes looked at the official messenger who pushed the firewood.
At this moment, the official had already hid in the crowd.
You Xi knew that she didn't have gunpowder, so she wasn't afraid to investigate, so she let the people of Sikou's Mansion look for gunpowder in the ruins.
The You family also knows that they don't have gunpowder, and they have the same mentality as You Xi, but they still have a little more mentality of watching a show.
During this time, the cow was so angry that no one paid attention to it, and when the gunpowder was found out after a while, it was time for her to cry.
Both sides thought that the gunpowder was hidden by the other party, and silently did not look at the other.
The thatched hut was not large, and there were many people from Sikou's house, so they searched the thatched hut in less than a quarter of an hour, and as their men came one by one to report that no trace of gunpowder had been found, the faces of the leaders of the group became more and more ugly.
You Xi looked at the leader's rapidly changing face, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.
There is something wrong with this man.
"Honorable, have you finished searching? Can you find gunpowder? It stands to reason that this gunpowder smells great, and if there is really gunpowder here, you will smell it as soon as you smell it, have you received false news? What kind of bastard can't see my family well, and even framed us, don't spare the person who reported the false news. You Xi looked sharply at the leader in the maroon uniform...... cuffs, but don't make a trick on the spot, she will look down on these people.
"Shut up...... Hmph, I'll look for it again. The leader was stunned and subconsciously yelled back, but when he saw the holy decree in Mrs. Chai's hand, he swallowed back the words he hadn't yet said, and only shook his hand to inspect in person.
You Xi stared firmly at the cuffs of the leader, who also looked at the You family several times during his rounds, and poked a few ruins with his portable Pu knife, and when he came out, he pulled out the black and gray handkerchief in his sleeve and wiped off the ash on the Pu knife.
You Xi finally knew that the exposed corner of the handkerchief was really an ordinary handkerchief, and he was greatly relieved.
The group of Si Kou Mansion searched carefully, but found no trace of gunpowder, so they could only retreat, and You Xi and Mrs. Chai were also ready to rush to chase Mrs. Mo and them.
The two of them were waiting on the side of the road for the people from the Sikou Mansion in front of them to get on their horses, and suddenly You Zhengming hurriedly said behind them, "Later, although you didn't find gunpowder, there are dangerous things here, and there was indeed an explosion here last night." ”
When the group of people who were about to leave heard this, they turned over and dismounted, "What did you say?" ”
"This is it, there were two explosions yesterday, I don't know what happened here, it's dirty and smelly, maybe it masks the smell of gunpowder." You Zhengming pointed to the place behind the fire room.
"What was this for?" The leader asked.
"I'm going to ask my eldest granddaughter about this." You Zhengming looked at You Xi coldly.
