The weather was sultry and hot. Zhou Junwang went out to do errands at noon and came home covered in sweat.

Before he could change his clothes, the attendant told him: "Leap, please go to the study."

"What's up?"

"Several elders are here," the attendant said.

This is something important.

Zhou Junwang didn't bother to take a shower and change clothes, and went to his father's study with a sweaty look.

There are three study rooms in total, the decoration is very luxurious, and there is a small secret room inside.

Zhou Longtou's three confidant hall masters were all there.

"What's the emergency?" Zhou Junwang asked.

Ice cubes were placed in the small secret room, and the air was cool. After changing from the stuffy heat outside, Zhou Jun hoped to be able to breathe.

When Zhou Longtou saw that everyone had arrived, he motioned to his confidants to close the secret room door and guard outside.

He then said: "I received a secret report from the royalists that Qibele has come to Yicheng."

Everyone was stunned.

Zhou Junwang: "I have met many royalist people, but I have never seen Qibele. Has Dad seen him?"

"No. He is a supreme royalist figure, so naturally he will not show up easily." Zhou Longtou said.

Zhou Junwang: "His name is Qi Beile, and he is a prince and grandson after all. There were many princes and grandsons in the previous dynasty, but there is no one like this."

Zhou Longtou and others glanced at him.

Zhou Junwang was puzzled: "What?"

Zhou Longtou sighed: "It has only been a few years, and among young people, it is already the 'former dynasty'."

Another hall leader also said: "When I talk about the past dynasty, I feel that I am old and that I did not grow up in the same world as the young people."

Zhou Junwang: "..."

Zhou Longtou brought the topic back: "This Qibele, he is an illegitimate child and has not been recorded."

"how old?"

"Not sure. However, he has a very high prestige within the royalist party, so he must be quite young." Zhou Longtou said, "I estimate that Xi is about ten years old."

Zhou Junwang pondered: "I want to find out who he is. Now that he is in our territory, how can we not show his true identity? We are not his slaves."

The three hall leaders looked at Zhou Longtou.

Zhou Longtou: "The momentum of the royalist party is gradually declining, and the people have accepted the new government, and they may not want the emperor to return to the throne."

"Newspapers tried to test the 'Emperor's Letter' and were scolded by people from all walks of life. Royalists may not be able to become a big trend." Zhou Junwang said.

He knew that his father and the military government were hostile to each other and were wary of each other. He wanted to get on another boat and leave a way out.

However, the royalists should also be transparent to each other as a way out, instead of being other people's pawns.

"Leave it to you." Zhou Longtou said.

Zhou Junwang was overjoyed.

The rainy season is coming soon, and the nights are sometimes cool and cool, sometimes sultry.

This night was particularly boring and heavy, and it didn't look like it was going to rain.

Yan Xin was sitting under the lamp sorting out medical records and looking at the drug store's account when she suddenly heard Xiao Hei barking in Bai Shuang's room.

She was stunned, then walked out of the inner bedroom wearing clothes.

Bai Shuang opened the door and let the dog out, and saw Xiao Hei rushing to the southeast corner of the courtyard wall and barking loudly, wishing to wake up the whole street.

At this moment, something was thrown into the Song Xiangyuan.

A small explosion, sending up smoke.

Yan Xin's glass window was broken, and something with kerosene was thrown in. Soon the room was filled with thick smoke, which was very pungent.

Bai Shuang rushed in immediately and protected her: "Miss, leave quickly!"

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment.

She held Bai Shuang's hand tightly: "No, you can't run!"

"what?"

"This is a test. No matter who it is or what the purpose is, they are testing our reaction. Everyone is standing still." Yan Xin said.

Bai Shuang nodded, whistled when he heard the words, and shouted at the same time: "Mighty General, get down!"

Her whistle was like training a dog, but in fact it was also used to notify the lieutenants in the outer courtyard.

They have their own code.

A few fire bombs seemed a bit scary, but they didn't cause any damage, so they stopped.

At this time, Yan Xin whispered to Bai Shuang: "You go out quietly, look for people who seem to be wandering around, and arrest them. There must be such a person, and he is coordinating the overall situation."

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

Bai Shuang said yes.

Yan Xin said to Ban Xia, Mrs. Cheng and Ma Feng: "Hurry up, cry loudly, wake up everyone in Jiang Mansion, and the neighbors can hear."

To be chaotic, the more chaotic the better.

Feng's mother immediately said: "Knock the basin, knock the pot!"

Yan Xin: "Okay."

Ban Xia: "..."

There seemed to be a pot exploding in the Songxiang Courtyard.

Feng's mother took the lead, banging the copper basin and shouting: "Someone is here, it's a fire, come and help!"

Banxia and Mrs. Cheng are a little embarrassed. But everyone has a herd mentality. When Feng Ma took the risk, Ban Xia and Cheng Ao also let go.

An adjutant knocked on the corner door: "Miss, what's going on?"

Yan Xin saw that it was the leading adjutant and knew that he was in charge of the affairs, so she whispered to him: "You are in chaos, just look around, don't be so orderly."

The adjutant was slightly stunned, then said yes.

Several fireball bombs were extinguished after a while, leaving nothing but some smoke, but the entire Jiang Mansion and nearby neighbors were alarmed.

No matter whether they were sleeping or not, they all got up to watch the excitement.

The eldest wife is now the only parent. She came over to see it in person with her cane in hand: "They are all toys, maybe they are little thieves."

The eldest young master also said: "Maybe it was a child playing around and deliberately scaring people."

But Jiang Siqiao said: "Perhaps gang members are stepping in and trying to rob. I ask you not to put the money on yourself, cause trouble, and implicate us."

Yan Xin was not angry at his words, but said, "I was scared to death. Is it my fault?"

"If there is a cause, there will be an effect." Jiang Siqiao said.

The eldest lady stopped them both: "Okay, stop arguing and calm down."

Then he said to Yan Xin, "Look what's broken."

"A piece of the back window was broken, but nothing else." Yan Xin said.

The eldest wife: "One more thing is worse than one less thing. Since it's not a serious problem, just report it to the police station."

Yan Xin said yes.

The eldest lady added: "If you are afraid, stay in my yard tonight."

"Mom's place also has a concubine and a child, and my father is recovering from illness. It's quite crowded. I can barely make do with it for one night," Yan Xin said.

Zhang Qingya snorted.

Miao Yin, the eldest mistress, said, "Brother and sister Xi, are you going to live with me? Let your eldest brother live in the study outside."

Fu Rong, the fifth young mistress, also said, "Sister-in-law Xi can also live with me."

Yan Xin declined them all.

She moved to the east room, packed up and got ready to lie down.

Bai Shuang came back and told Yan Xin: "We caught a wonton vendor. He was carrying a wonton load in a decent manner, and there were wontons wrapped in his hand. What's funny is that there was no fire in the stove at the other end of the load."

The hawkers carry out the late-night snack business. The briquettes in the stove are lit but sealed. When needed, open the cover.

It is impossible for the briquettes to come out without starting a fire. Making a fire with briquettes is not something you can do all at once. It requires a complicated process.

"Maybe he is not a local, but he pretended to be a hawker but ignored the most important thing." Yan Xin said, "Where did he catch him and put him?"

"The young marshal's prison."

"I'm going to take a look." Yan Xin said.

Bai Shuang: "So late? You go to bed first and wait for the results tomorrow morning."

"I'm going to see who attacked me." Yan Xin said.
