Chengtianmen Street.

Xiafu.

The residence of Mr. Xia Yuanxia, ​​the Minister of Civil Service, was naturally very majestic and majestic. Even the concierge who guarded the gate felt superior to others. He looked at the people running back and forth on the street with disdain in his eyes.

At this moment, Luo Hong, dressed as a beggar, walked quickly towards the gate of Xia Mansion.

"Go, go, go! Where did the beggar come from? Is this a place you can come to?"

Luo Hong paused, looked up and looked at the concierge of the Xia Mansion in front of him, and politely raised his hands, "Please send a message to Mr. Xia, saying that Nanshan has something to ask for."

"Oh! You're a stinky beggar, you're so polite in your speech, you're pretending to be a cultured person with me! Why do you still want to see my master? Do you know how big an official my master is? I'd like to scare you to death if I tell you, and you still want to see me for something. , are you worthy?"

"Go, go, leave now."

Luo Hong suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that this was not the time to be angry. A city-wide search was about to begin. If he didn't go in, he would be completely ruined.

As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to deal with but the devil is difficult to deal with. At this moment, Luo Hong felt the true meaning of this sentence for himself.

Luo Hong quickly took out an ingot of gold from his arms and handed it to the porter, "As long as you pass the message to me, this ingot of gold will be yours whether your master sees me or not."

Xu Dashan quickly took the gold, weighed the gold ingot with his hands, then put it in his mouth and bit it gently, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Wait, I will come into the house to inform you."

Ping Dashan turned around and walked into the Xia Mansion, "These days, even beggars have gold. I have been working in the Xia Mansion for almost ten years, and I haven't even seen the shadow of gold. It's true that people can't be judged by their appearance, and the sea water can't be judged by their appearance." What a fight!"

Xu Dashan walked through the front yard and went directly to the Jingxin Pavilion in the inner courtyard of Xia Mansion. As soon as he walked to the door of the study, he saw Xia Yuan talking to Yan Yun, the housekeeper of Xia Mansion, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, outside the door of the mansion There is a man named Nanshan asking to see you."

When Xia Yuan heard Nanshan, he stood up from his chair and said, "Please come quickly."

"Yes, sir!"

Xia Yuan's behavior proved that the beggar at the door really knew his master. Xu Dashan suddenly thought of his attitude just now.

"Clap clap clap!"

Xu Dashan slapped his mouth hard, "I'll let you have a bad mouth, I'll let you have a bad mouth, I'll let you have a bad mouth."

It's over, it's over now, I've offended the master's friends, is there still room for me, Xu Dashan, in this Xia Mansion? It seems that I have to beg that Master Nanshan for forgiveness as soon as possible.

After Xu Dashan returned to the gate of Xia Mansion, he immediately changed his smiling face, trotted all the way to Luo Hong, and bowed his hands respectfully, "Mr. Nan, I offended you with your short-sightedness. Mr. Nan, please give me more. Don’t be like a villain.”

"Can I go in now?"

"Of course, Mr. Nan, please come inside. My master is waiting in the Jingxin Pavilion in the inner courtyard. I will take you there right now."

"Lead the way ahead."

"Yes, my lord!"

Xu Dashan immediately led Luo Hong the way. As he was walking, he suddenly remembered that he had received a gold ingot from Luo Hong just now. He quickly took out the gold ingot and handed it to Luo Hong, "Master Nan, this is your gold."

Luo Hong waved his hand, "Take it! Don't be so aggressive when meeting people in the future."

"Yes, yes, the adults have taught you that the little one will never dare to do it again."

Soon, Luo Hong came to Jingxin Pavilion under the guidance of Xu Dashan.

It was really Luo Hong. Xia Yuan's first feeling was that something had happened, "Steward Yan, please go outside and watch. No one is allowed to approach Jingxin Pavilion without my permission."

"Yes, sir!"

As soon as Yan Yun left, Xia Yuan immediately asked: "Brother Luo, why did you come to the door in person? Did something happen?"

Luo Hong nodded, "Brother Nanshan, Fengyang City is under martial law throughout the city, and a city-wide manhunt is about to begin. The Li family's ancestral hall is no longer safe. Everyone in the Jingjian Department knows me, and I have nothing else. There is no place to go, so I can only take the risk to come to you."

Next, Luo Hong explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail.

"That's it. Brother Luo, please rest assured. No matter how big the search is, you can't find me here. You are very safe here. But the situation has changed now. What about sending Lu Qiuya out of the city?"

"The plan goes on as usual. Oh, by the way, Brother Nanshan, Fengyang City is now under martial law. Only Fengyang Gate can leave the city, and it must undergo strict inspection. Lu Qiuya and I will take your carriage out of the city. Is this okay? "

Xia Yuan nodded, "Brother Luo, please don't worry. After knowing that I was sending Lu Qiuya out of the city, I ordered someone to modify my carriage and hide one or two people in the carriage so that outsiders cannot see it."

"In addition, I am returning home this time under orders from Ding You. No one dares to check the imperial envoy's car. Even if they want to check, it is just a formality. Brother Luo, don't worry."

"By order, Ding You?"

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "It's just an excuse to leave the city. My mother is in good health and Ding You's decree to return home came down yesterday, so no one will doubt me."

Upon hearing this, Luo Hong immediately stood up and cupped his hands, "Brother Nanshan has thought carefully, I admire you!"

Xia Yuan waved his hand, "It's just a precaution, not worth mentioning."

In Dayan, when an official's parents died, the official had to suspend his duties for Ding You. The Ding You period lasted for three years. However, because the high officials in the court held high positions and held high positions, it was impossible to suspend their duties for three years, so Ding You was ordered to serve. .

The time for Ding You to serve can be decided by the emperor. Generally speaking, the shorter the time for Ding You to serve, the more important he is to the emperor. Xia Yuan's time for returning home this time is two months. This shows that Huangfu's success is still more important to Xia Yuan. Very valued.

Just as Luo Hong and Xia Yuan were talking in Jingxin Pavilion, a city-wide search began...

East of Fengyang City.

Fenganfang.

"Dong dong dong! Open the door!"

A team of Royal Guards knocked on the door of a house. Soon the door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties came out, "Master Jun, I am happy to welcome you. This is my household registration document. Please The military master has taken a look."

Zhong Jiaxing, who was in charge of the Royal Forest Army, took the household registration document and looked at it carefully, "There are six people in your family. Call them all out!"

"Yes, Master Jun!"

Soon, Yue Laixi's parents, wife and three children came out of the back room. Zhong Jiaxing looked at the portrait of Luo Hong in his hand, and then carefully looked at Yue Laixi in front of him, "You guys wait outside for a moment. Yes, after we enter the house and inspect it, you can go home."

"Everyone, let me enter the house and search it carefully. Remember, you must handle it with care when searching. Nothing in the house is allowed to be damaged. Whoever damages the house will pay for it. If anyone dares to steal things from people's homes through the search, , once found, severe punishment will not be neglected.”

"Let me tell you, this is an order personally issued by the Marquis of Jiangling. If anyone dares to disgrace our Royal Forest Army, I will see if my captain doesn't break his legs. Do you all understand?"

"I understand!"

Zhong Jiaxing nodded, "I understand, then let's go in and check."

"Yes, Captain!"

A quarter of an hour later, the search was over, and the imperial guards who entered the house to search also withdrew, "Report to the captain, everything is normal."

Zhong Jiaxing nodded, "Uncle Yue, you can go home. If you find something missing from your home, you can report it to Dongya University at any time, and someone will receive you there."

"I know, Xiaomin, thank you so much, Master Jun!"

Zhong Jiaxing waved his right hand, "Brothers, let's go to the next one."

"Yes, Captain!"
