"Not there?" Wu's servant stood at the gate of Zheng Guogong's mansion, frowning and said, "Zheng Guogong is not here, what about the prince?"
"He's not here either," the housekeeper Zhao Lai said with an anxious look, "Our Duke and the Crown Prince went to Fanghu County this morning. There was a conflict between some old men in charge of the manor and Mr. Liu's wife. There was a conflict.
The commotion was so big that many people came to Beijing crying in the past few days and had to beg the Duke of our country to seek justice. What should I do? It takes at least six or seven days to go back and forth. Now it is winter again. I heard that
There will be heavy snow in a few days. Even if we send people there immediately, we may not be able to catch up on the road. There are too many roads to get there, and every one of them is official..."
Chamberlain Wu didn't want to listen to his ramblings anymore and said, "You are sending people to ask them to come back now. Whether they can be encountered is another matter. I will go back to the palace and report to the Holy Spirit."
"Thank you for your hard work, Minister Wu," Zhao Lai said with a respectful smile, and quietly stuffed a silver coin in his sleeve, "pay for the tea, Minister Wu, thank you for your hard work."
After seeing them off, Zhao Lai and his servants were about to turn around, when a young girl ran over and said, "Wait, wait!"
Zhao Lai turned to look.
The girl was dressed in ordinary clothes, simple and clean. After running over, she said: "Is this the Duke Zheng's mansion?"
Zhao Lai looked at her: "Who are you?"
"Someone asked me to give this letter to the prince." The girl handed over the letter.
"Our prince is not here," Zhao Lai said immediately.
"Then give it to him when he is here." The girl said, handed the letter to the nearest servant, turned around and ran away.
The servant took the letter and looked up at the butler.
Zhao Lai took a few steps to snatch it away and walked towards the house.

"Woof woof woof!"
A puppy wagging its tail, nimbly and nimblely, jumped up from the vermillion-green velvet carpet, opened its mouth and bit the piece of meat.
"Good call," Zhao Xun's laughter came out, "Come again."
As he said that, he threw up the meat again.
The puppy jumped up again, caught it steadily, took a few bites and swallowed it directly.
"Wonderful, wonderful, come here, Goudan." Zhao Qi called him over.
The puppy ran happily and rubbed against the man's white sleeve, enjoying his touch.
Zhao Lai walked in quickly and said, "Your Majesty."
"Are they beaten away?" Zhao Yu looked up and asked with a smile.
"A letter." Zhao Lai handed over the envelope and described the girl and what she said.
"Don't be a love letter," Zhao Xun took the letter and opened it while saying slowly, "Then there's no chance for her."
There were only two lines in the letter. Zhao Xun glanced at it and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh?"
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Zhao Lai asked curiously.
"A Li wrote that there is a madman in Duke Ding's mansion," Zhao Xun raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Lai, "It's Lu Qianhai."
Zhao Lai was surprised: "Lu Qianhai!"
"Yes," Zhao Xi withdrew his gaze, folded the letter, and said, "This is over. This letter says he is a lunatic. Where he is crazy has nothing to do with me, but if he damages the thing I carefully repaired,
What to do with the courtyard?”
"Your Majesty, it's not appropriate for you to show your face or go out now. Let's take this matter to Ji Sheng," Zhao Lai said.
"There's no rush," Zhao Yu said, looking at the incense burner on the side and the white smoke floating gently, "let me think about it slowly."
"What are you thinking about?"
"Why did Ah Li give Lu Qianhai to me?" Zhao Xin took Goudan into his arms and rubbed it, thinking, "If she hadn't made such a fuss on the execution ground today, why would my son have deceived you? What if?
I didn't even leave the city when I got caught, I had to have a head and a crack in my ass."
"Could it be some kind of trap?" Zhao Lai asked.
Zhao Xun said nothing and looked down at Goudan.
The dog was stroked by him and happily licked his white fingers.
After being quiet for a long time, Zhao Xi said: "It's so annoying."
"Um?"
"Leave it alone. My little yard is over there and can easily be discovered. Go ahead and take care of it. It's hard for me to show up now." Zhao Yu gently pinched Goudan's face. "Goudan, what do you mean about Ah Li?"
Is it a dog?"
The puppy didn't understand anything. When he looked at him, he barked softly at him, thinking he was playing.
"Yes, she is just a dog. She is such a bully." Zhao Xin put the dog down and said, "Go, let's play."
Seeing the puppy running away happily, Zhao Yu stood up, stroked his white clothes, and said, "Then I'll be a dog too."
"What did the prince say..." Zhao Lai muttered.
"I'm going to write a letter. You send someone to Zuixian Tower. Since it's Lu Qianhai and he's in Dingguo Palace, it's my brother's business and it's not my turn to take action." Zhao Xun said, heading towards the study room.
Go.
……………………
Another group of patrol guards came and knocked on the door. It was obviously already midnight, but the whole long street was full of noise and it was noisy.
Yang Guanxian was drawing talisman in the study, using the talisman paper in the book and learning it stroke by stroke.
Guo Ting sat next to him and looked at him with serious eyes.
After the waiter downstairs came up and knocked on the door three times, Guo Ting said, "Those officers and soldiers are leaving."
Yang Guanxian responded, finished the last few strokes, and put down the pen.
Looking at the undried ink stains on the paper, Yang Guanxian said: "Then continue talking." He looked up at Guo Ting, "The situation has become increasingly chaotic, and all parties can't sit still. Fortunately, it is winter now, so wait
Once winter is over, I don't know how long Li Ju can hold on."
"So," Guo Ting knew what he was going to say very clearly, "you went to Qiluyuan today, what did Yan Qinglin say?"
"She's anxious," Yang Guanxian raised his eyebrows, "And Fang Guanyan, this guy is very ambitious. I'm really afraid of what he will do."
"Actually, it's not a bad thing to be ambitious," Guo Ting's voice lowered, "I actually think it would be nice if the second brother could be a little ambitious. He's too depressed to recover."
Yang Guanxian looked at him, picked up the pen again, held the pen in his chubby hand and dipped it in ink, and said: "There is always a difference between what you want to do and what others force you to do."
"There's nothing we can do about it," Guo Ting said. "If it weren't for them, my second brother would have died long ago. After all, I owe them."
Yang Guanxian laughed "haha", put the quick-drying paper aside to dry, continued to draw, and said: "Today I went to Daping Square and bumped into Cao Youyun's cousin."
"Song Qingtang?"
"I thought I was going to take action. With such a skilled general here, our people would be somewhat in danger, and he could easily be injured in the melee, so I wanted to trick him away," Yang Guanxian continued,
"As a result, I was stopped by a person, guess who it was."
"who?"
"Shen Lie." Yang Guanxian said. At this time, the young man's handsome face appeared in front of him. Yang Guanxian couldn't help but said, "I'm not telling you, this guy is really good-looking, a little feminine, but also very fierce and masculine. I don't know how to describe it.
