Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

Yan Chengcai didn't think so. In the palace, there were princes who didn't have mothers. They wouldn't have no mothers. Some concubines had no sons vying to raise them. Wasn't Guo Heng raised by the empress dowager?

It's just that he didn't dare to say that.

Yan Chengcai suddenly felt tired, maybe like his father said, everything will be fine?He lazily leaned on the back of the chair and said, "Father, what should we do with the girl we caught yesterday?"

Yan Zheng put down the hand pinching the base of his nose, and the tiredness on his face eased a little.

"The woman caught yesterday? Which one do you think is Xu Ruoxu's maid?"

"present,,

"Are you sure she is someone next to Xu Ruoxu?"

"Definitely." Yan Chengcai sat upright, rare serious, "Yan Fu and several servants can testify."

"You said you caught her at the gate of our Yan Mansion? What did she come to our Yan Mansion for?"

Yan Chengcai snorted coldly, "Her master Xu Ruoxu is not a good person, she is his maid, she will never come to the gate of our Yan Mansion for no reason."

Yan Fu interjected: "Back to the master, the servant thinks what the young master said is reasonable. When the servant saw her, he heard what she was asking about with those shops, and vaguely heard the word "Hou Fu". However, the servant went to ask At that time, no one would admit it."

The Yan Mansion is not far from the Imperial Palace, located in the bustling streets of the imperial capital.Although there are no residences around Yan's Mansion, after turning around Yan's Mansion, there is a bustling commercial street next to it. There are many shops and merchants doing business. It is naturally a good place for people to inquire about news.

Yan Chengcai stood up and said, "Father, you want to know what she asked, so you can bring it up and ask, so you will know?"

Yan Fu said: "Master, Young Master, I'll go and bring him up right now."

Yan Chengcai nodded at him, and Yan Fu saw that Yan Zheng didn't respond, and knew that he had acquiesced, so he withdrew.

Yan Zheng knew that Yan Chengcai didn't have many serious ideas, but there were still some bad and crooked tricks.

"Chengcai, what do you want to do by arresting him?"

Yan Chengcai Erlang tapped his leg and chuckled, "I haven't made up my mind yet, but I can't let Xu Ruoxu get over it. Who told him to fight against us? Now we can't catch him, but we can always learn from him." Can you dig something out of your maid?"

"What do you want to dig?"

Yan Chengcai stroked his chin and said, "Well...for example, where is Xu Ruoxu from, how did he hook up with Kong Qingshu, why the emperor treats him differently...I'm very curious about Xu Ruoxu!"

Yan Zheng said seriously: "Chengcai, that Xu Ruoxu is hard to deal with, don't play with fire!"

Yan Chengcai didn't care, "Father, don't worry. I'm sure no one saw our Yan Mansion arresting people, even if that Xu Ruoxu was suspicious, he wouldn't dare to come to our Yan Mansion to ask for someone, right?"

Yan Zheng said: "As long as you know it in your heart. Today's court is no longer what it was a year ago. To become a talent, we must do things more safely and comprehensively in the future."

"Yes, Dad, I see."

After the two said these words, they felt that Yan Fu brought people over slowly, and Yan Cheng couldn't help but stand up.

"This Yan Fu, why is it so slow to lead someone?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Fu walked in with a disturbed expression.

"Master, Master, that woman, that woman is gone!"

''ah! ,,

Now even Yan Zheng stood up, "Why did you disappear? Didn't you send someone to watch over it?"

Yan Fu wiped the sweat from his face, "The servant locked him in the dungeon in the backyard, and sent Wang Ding and Li Bing to guard him. Who knows, who knows, they were beaten unconscious and tied up in the dungeon. inside."

"Damn!" Yan Chengcai's expression turned ugly, "Who dares to behave wildly in the Grand Master's Mansion? Yan Fu, are all the guards in our mansion vegetarian? They don't even know that they entered the mansion to hurt people and rescued them ?”

Yan Fu didn't even dare to wipe off his cold sweat, "Master, the servants asked, and the guards said they didn't see anyone coming in at all. Wang Ding

The kung fu with Li Bing is also good. They said that when they were attacked, they didn't see what the person was like, so they were knocked out

"

Yan Zheng swayed and supported the table, "It must be Xu Ruoxu's man! There are Ouchi guards beside him!"

"Xu Ruoxu's man?" Yan Chengcai was taken aback, and stepped forward to support his father, feeling lucky, "If Xu Ruoxu knew that he was in our Yan Mansion, shouldn't he be so calm?"

Yan Fu saw that the faces of the two masters were not good, and he hesitated to speak later, but he dared not say nothing.

"Master, Young Master, Fourth Aunt's younger brother is also missing. They should, should have been rescued together."

"what?"

Yan Chengcai couldn't support Yan Zheng anymore, he slid down and sat on a chair.

Yan Zheng murmured: "This, is this really going to kill my Yan family?"

There was also a flash of panic in Yan Chengcai's eyes, and then a kind of unscrupulous disapproval appeared in Yan Chengcai's eyes.He didn't go to court today, so naturally he didn't feel so deeply about Yan Zheng.Besides, isn't he the fourth aunt's younger brother?That kid is crazy!Although his father snatched his sister, he has always taken good care of her family.Although his sister went, but they gave 100 taels of silver, it was completely benevolent, and she was still not satisfied, and she still wanted to make a fuss, so she had to say something strange about his sister's death, and wanted an explanation.

As far as the saying goes, their Yan family is saying it.

Thinking of this, Yan Chengcai comforted Yan Zheng: "Father, don't worry, that kid Zhang Dong doesn't know anything, even if he is rescued, he won't be in trouble."

Yan Zheng had a ghost in his heart. Hearing Yan Chengcai's words, he took a deep breath and said, "Yes, that kid has nothing to worry about. It's just that our Yan Mansion was easily entered by someone, and two people were rescued. Scared just thinking about it."

After Yan Fu heard this, his face turned blue and red, his hands and feet became cold.

Is my position as the manager of the Yan family exhausted?

Suddenly, Yan Zheng called him, "Yan Fu."

"The slave is here!"

Yan Fu hurriedly knelt down, not even daring to lift his head.

Yan Zheng has recovered his usual majesty, and slowly said: "You have been in our Yan family for many years, and I have always believed in you. This time, you really disappointed me!"

Yan Fu knocked his head on the ground with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance, Master. I will definitely learn a lesson and never let Master down again."

After not hearing Yan Zheng's words for a long time, Yan Fu's heart was in his throat.He has been in the Yan Mansion for decades, and he is regarded as a close friend of Yan's father and son.But Yan Zheng is cruel and Yan Chengcai is stubborn, so he has no luck.

He lay on the ground, unable to hear the sound, and did not dare to raise his head. Time suddenly seemed to freeze.

After a long time, Yan Chengcai said: "Father, Yan Fu has been in the mansion for many years, and he has always been cautious and proper in handling things. Please let him go this time!"

Yan Fu hurriedly said: "Master, this slave will be more cautious in the future, and will never make such a mistake."

In fact, Yan Zheng didn't want to do anything to Yan Fu, just like what Yan Chengcai said, Yan Fu has been by his side for many years, he has always been loyal and dedicated, and I am afraid it will be difficult to find a second one.

He sighed, "Get up! Although I don't want to punish you, you have to give the servants an explanation for your ineffectiveness, so I will fine you one month's salary!"

Yan Fu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Master, for your compassion."

He stood up and gave Yan Chengcai a grateful glance.

Yan Chengcai knew that his father would not punish Yan Fu, so he gave him a reassuring look.

"Father, in my opinion, that woman and Zhang Dong may not have been rescued by Xu Ruoxu's men."

Yan Zheng looked up at him, "Why do you say that?"

Yan Chengcai said: "Father, think about it! Xu Ruoxu's temperament has nothing to do with us. He has to read such a book. Now that we have detained his maid, why don't you come to Xingshi to ask the crime?"

Yan Zheng sneered, "Xing the teacher to question the crime? Since he is a second-rank official? Who gave him the courage?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a guard outside the door reporting: "Master, the emperor has arrived, and he is already outside the gate."

''ah! ,,

Yan Zheng and Yan Chengcai both stood up, and they looked at each other, doubts arose in their hearts at the same time.

The emperor actually came?What is he here for?

Ever since Guo Heng came to power, he has never been to the Yan Mansion?They still chose to come here today... Yan Chengcai and Yan Zheng had to

Think more.

But there is no time for them to think too much, the emperor is already at the door, the most important thing is to welcome the emperor.

Yan Zheng and Yan Chengcai didn't have time to change their clothes, so they went out together.

When the two came to the gate, the strict guards outside the gate had already surrounded the Yan Mansion, Shui Yun was in front, Guo Heng was behind, and the person beside Guo Heng was actually Xu Ruoxu.

Yan Chengcai's heart skipped a beat, did the emperor come this time for Xu Ruoxu's maid?

He didn't have time to think about it, and followed his father to salute.

"Minister Yan Zheng (Minister Yan Chengcai) is late to greet you, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Guo Heng smiled like a spring breeze, "Teacher and Mr. Yan invite you. The weather is fine today, and I want to go out of the palace for a walk, thinking that I haven't been to Yan's mansion for a long time, so I came here. I want to ask for a cup of tea with the grand master. Grand Master, don't be stingy and disgusted."

Xu Chengze saluted behind Guo Heng, and said in his mouth: "I have seen the Grand Master."

Yan Zheng looked at Guo Hengming's yellow dragon robe, banners and tents, and sneered in his heart, saying what to come out for a walk, what are you doing with such a big battle?

I heard that every time he went to Xu Ruoxu's mansion, he was plainclothes, it seems that it is really different!

Thinking of this, he looked at Xu Ruoxu again, only to see that his face was calm, as if he knew something.

Yan Zheng relaxed in his heart, bowed and said: "The emperor's visit to Hanfu in person is a favor for my Yan family. If you say something about being stingy and disgusting, wouldn't it be a shame for the old minister? Your majesty, Mr. Xu, please come inside."

Guo Heng nodded slightly, and entered the Yan Mansion with a smile.

As he walked, he said with emotion: "I haven't been to Yan's Mansion for two or three years. This time, the scenery of Yan's Mansion is more pleasing than before."

Yan Zheng said: "The emperor is too flattering to the old minister. The old minister's house is old, and these flowers and plants were planted in the past. Now that the old minister is getting older, he has long lost the energy."

Guo Heng laughed and said, "The grand master is humble. It is I who have dragged the grand master down. When the country of Liang is peaceful and the people are safe, the grand master can plant flowers, amuse the birds, and enjoy the rest of his life."

Yan Zheng was displeased in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, "The old minister is also looking forward to such a day."
