Hu Chuanhai still couldn't believe his eyes, he asked in a puzzled tone: "The guards in the Hou Mansion are also strict, much better than in this county yali, is it necessary to let the Hou Ye come over?"

Shui Shui seemed to be a little impatient, she glared at her and said, "Hu Xianling! You open your eyes and show me clearly, this is the seal of the Governor! What are you doing with so much nonsense?"

Seeing that the water was cut off, Hu Chuanhai had no choice but to say: "The girl is angry, I'll do it." ”

After returning to the court, Hu Chuanhai first sulked alone, and then took people to the Hou Mansion.

When he arrived at the Hou Mansion, Hu Chuanhai didn't say a word, and directly handed over the piece of paper.

Cheng Qihou took it, looked at it carefully, and then said, "This is to put me under house arrest." ”

Hu Chuanhai said with a sad face: "Alas, they are premeditated, you see, it only says that it is to protect you, which makes others unable to say anything at all." ”

Cheng Qihou put down the paper, glanced at the outside leisurely, and slowly spit out a sentence after a long time: "I'm old." ”

In just three words, Hu Chuanhai felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart.

"When are you leaving?" asked Cheng Qihou suddenly.

Hu Chuanhai said: "Master Hou, do you really plan to go?"

Chengqi Hou smiled bitterly and said: "What if you don't go, he has Zhao Weixian's seal on it, if I don't go, he will have a reason to participate in my incurable crime." ”

"Master Hou, in my opinion, you go to the capital now, you go to the saint and let him call the shots for you! I don't believe it, a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals can still restrain you!"

Hu Chuanhai's words spoke his heart.

Chengqi Hou said: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, you see the big seal on this, the traces have not faded, it was obviously covered yesterday, it is conceivable, then Zhao Weixian may be around here." ”

Hearing this, Hu Chuanhai was taken aback and said: "This is unlikely, Zhao Weixian is coming, how can I not know?"

"Maybe he is a private visit to Weifu, of course, it is not excluded that Zhao Weixian will give the big seal directly to that woman, if that's the case, it will be even more troublesome, if he is here, I'll be better, after all, we know each other, but if he is not here, that woman will not sell my face, a person like her, except for knowing who her master is, no one else cares about it. ”

After Hu Chuanhai listened, he couldn't help but say: "Master Hou, in the end, you are mixed in the upper echelons, this depends on people and things, and you can handle it really accurately." ”

"Without a will, I can't enter Beijing at will to face the saint, take a step back, even if the saint sees that I am old and can't bear to be punished, what can I say when I see the saint? I said that Zhao Weixian wants to put me under house arrest? But people don't say so, they say they want to protect me, it's written in black and white, who do you say the saint believes?"

Cheng Qihou's words are the truth, Hu Chuanhai thought about it, indeed, even if he entered Beijing, it was useless.

"Don't worry, don't you just go and stay with you for a few days, just go. Chengqi Hou sighed and said helplessly.

"Master Hou, I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just afraid that after you go, you won't be able to get out for a while. Hu Chuanhai said.

"If you can't get out, you can't get out, so what? Can't you afford to raise me as an old man?"

Even at this time, Cheng Qihou still didn't feel too anxious and anxious, and Hu Chuanhai didn't even feel that Cheng Qihou didn't take it seriously at all.

"Okay, since Master Hou said so, then let's go. Hu Chuanhai stood up and walked outside first.

Then, the Marquis of Chengqi and the servants and guards of the palace all confessed, saying that he would accompany the county magistrate to go out for a few days, and told them to take care of their home.

After arriving at the county office, Duan Shui was waiting for him there, and after a few casual greetings, Duan Shui let people take Cheng Qihou to his residence, which was a side room in the backyard, which was originally for servants.

When Cheng Qi Hou entered this room, he smiled bitterly, he was not afraid of hardship, but worried about other things.

Then, I didn't know where to find a bunch of people from the water and asked them to stay around the backyard all night, and for a while, the backyard of the county government became a forbidden place, and idlers and others were not allowed to approach.

Cheng Qi Hou was in trouble here, but Chi Zhongtian didn't know it yet, because at this moment, he was sitting in a small room in the Huilan Restaurant, and he was also worried.

The two servants who lived here had not come out since they had entered, and after eating in the room, they either slept or chatted together.

Since it is not satisfactory to wait and see, it can only take the initiative.

After thinking about it, Chi Zhongtian walked out and soon brought someone back.

This person is a guard that Chi Zhongtian specially borrowed from Cheng Qihou, this person is shrewd and capable, and he has a good memory.

"As I say, nothing can go wrong. Chi Zhongtian admonished.

The guard nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chi, I guarantee that there will be no problems!"

After saying that, the guard simply cleaned up his body, and then walked out alone.

When he came to a room on the east side of the second floor, he knocked on the door.

Soon, a voice came from inside, "Who?"

The guard replied, "I'm from the Yamen." ”

Hearing this, there was no sound inside, and just as the guard felt strange and was about to continue knocking, the door was suddenly opened.

I saw Sun Wu probe and look at his head, and asked suspiciously, "What are you looking for me?"

The guard whispered according to Chi Zhongtian's prior arrangement: "Don't pretend, my master asked me to ask you, have you seen any movement in your garden in the past two days?"

When Sun Wu heard this, he shook his head and said, "What are you talking about, I don't understand, what garden?"

Although he tried his best to disguise, the guard could see at a glance that there was definitely something wrong with this person.

The reason why he said that he was a member of the yamen from the beginning was that he wanted to test it, and if he didn't open the door, it would be a normal move, and like him, he opened the door without asking, and it would be strange to say that there was no problem.

"Hehe, let me tell you, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, you hurry up, I'm still waiting to go back on a business trip, the girl has a bad temper these days!"

When he said the word "girl", Sun Wu said as if relieved: "I'm scared to death, fortunately my companion is asleep, otherwise I would be finished, how do you know I'm here?"

The guard said disdainfully, "In Shezhou City, we can know who we want to know!"

When Sun Wu heard this, he said: "Let me tell you, there will be a banquet in the mansion in a few days, and it will be bigger than the last time, and in addition, Aoshuangxue will go to Jixi Village to collect mountain delicacies and game." ”
