After noon, Xu Zhengquan's figure appeared outside the gate of Chai Yan's house.
In the past ten days, Xu Zhengquan came to visit every day at first, three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, but every time he came to Chai Yan's house, the door knocker was empty.
Gradually, Xu Zhengquan came less and less often, and in the next few days he stopped going altogether. He thought that the one hundred taels of silver he came here would probably be in vain to feed the dogs.
But that morning, Xu Youde suddenly called Xu Zhengquan to inquire about the matter, and even scolded him. Xu Zhengquan had no choice but to run to Chai's house to take another look.
I thought I would return in vain as before, but unexpectedly I saw a red cloth strip on the door knocker of Chai's house.
Xu Zhengquan was stunned at that time and stopped in his tracks. Then he suddenly rubbed his eyes and looked closer. The red cloth strip was indeed there!
Oh my god, is this done?
Long before anything happened, Xu Zhengquan was looking forward to this day. But when the day came, Xu Zhengquan felt inexplicably panicked.
Xu Zhengquan hesitated for a moment and then turned and left Wenyun Street. He decided to go home quickly and tell his master.
Xu Zhengquan trotted all the way back. As soon as he entered the house, he rushed to Xu Youde's house and happened to catch Xu Youde making out with his woman.
Xu Youde immediately got angry and yelled, but Xu Zhengquan didn't care anymore and couldn't wait to tell Xu Youde the situation.
Xu Youde was overjoyed after hearing this, and quickly asked Xu Youde to appoint a few capable people to get them. He wanted to take care of Chai Yan!
So Xu Zhengquan immediately ordered his servants to hitch a carriage, and ordered four capable servants to go to Chai Yan's house.
But as soon as Xu Zhengquan opened the door of Chai's house, a large group of people rushed out of the house and the street, and instantly surrounded Xu Zhengquan's people and the carriage.
"You... who are you? What do you... want to do in broad daylight?" Xu Zhengquan suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
Suddenly, someone outside the crowd shouted loudly: "Tie them up and take them back together!"
Before anyone could react, Xu Zhengquan and others were tied up. Next, everyone escorted Xu Zhengquan and others, together with the carriage, to the government office.
As soon as the escorting crowd moved away, three people came out of the gate of Chai's house. They were Chen Fuyin and his police officers, accompanied by Uncle Cai.
After Chen Fuyin came out, he said: "Steward Cai, you can rest assured. I will send extra manpower to patrol and investigate this area during these days to ensure the peace of Chai House!"
"Thank you so much, Mr. Fu Yin. I am very grateful!" Uncle Cai quickly bowed and thanked you.
Chen Fuyin nodded and said to the policeman beside him: "Go back now!"
After Uncle Cai sent Chen Fuyin away, Aunt Yun and Xiaokui leaned out of the door and looked around.
Aunt Yun looked at Chen Fuyin and Chen Fuyin walking away, lowered her head and said to Xiaokui: "Our master still has face, Fuyin has personally dispatched!"
Xiaokui took it seriously and nodded vigorously.
--------------------------
It's half past midnight in the study room of the Prince's Mansion.
Liu Lang had been dealing with official duties since the morning. He felt a little tired, so he put down his pen and stretched.
Suddenly, I heard Zhao Li saying outside the study: "Your Highness, I made ginseng tea for you..."
"Come in." Liu Lang responded.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Li walked in with ginseng tea.
Before Zhao Li put down the ginseng tea, Liu Lang asked: "How is it? What did the people who came back say?"
Liu Lang naturally asked about the situation of Chai Yan and Yuan. He had been dealing with official duties all morning and didn't take time to ask.
Zhao Li first placed the ginseng tea in front of Liu Lang, then went to close the door of the study in person, and then returned to Liu Lang and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Chai Yan and Miss You have already met at Shiliting, and then
Then we went along the official road towards Yaozhou..."
As Zhao Li spoke, he stretched out his hand to signal Liu Lang to drink tea.
Liu Lang nodded slowly, took a sip of the ginseng tea, and asked, "What time is it now?"
Zhao Li told the time.
Liu Lang made a calculation secretly and said: "From this morning to now, if there is no delay on the way, we should be out of the capital at the earliest..."
Zhao Li nodded and said, "That should be the case..."
Liu Lang took another sip of ginseng tea, then put down the cup and said, "Li'er, how long do you think you can hide this from the high priest?"
Zhao Li shook his head and said: "I can't say for sure, but I heard that the high priest will be preparing for the annual festival recently. I think I can keep it a secret for a few more days..."
"Well, I hope so..." Liu Lang said worriedly: "Li'er, you don't know, I'll have a headache just thinking about the high priest coming to punish me..."
Zhao Likuan explained: "Your Highness, Mrs. Jimo has also acquiesced in this matter. Presumably the high priest will not come to the door."
"Gu said yes! The high priest finally found his long-lost daughter, but now Gu has used a trick to take her away. Gu also knows the high priest's temper. He knows that he will definitely come to Gu to ask for her in the future.
"Explanation." Liu Lang was very certain about this.
Zhao Li then asked: "Can it be said that His Highness regrets it?"
"That's not..." Liu Lang breathed a sigh of relief slowly and said seriously: "Li'er, I think my father was against it at the beginning, but Gu and you also went through all kinds of hardships to achieve success. Now when I look back, I can see
Chai Yan and his adopted sister can’t bear to be alone..."
As he spoke, Liu Lang reached out and took Zhao Li's hand. Zhao Li also had a look of nostalgia on his face, remembering all the past events.
Liu Lang continued: "If my father hadn't made up his mind to keep his sworn sister from marrying for the rest of his life, and that unruly girl Funing... I wouldn't have thought of this strategy!"
Zhao Li asked: "Your Highness, try not to let the Emperor know about this matter. Don't worry about anything else. I am only worried about the four people responsible for monitoring Miss You. Will they tell the Emperor..."
Liu Lang immediately said: "No! Those four orphans have been appeased. They will never tell Father the secret!"
Zhao Li said: "Thanks to Your Highness for taking precautions, things are going smoothly now..."
Liu Lang shook his head and fell into thinking.
Zhao Li was surprised and asked: "Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"
"I wonder if I can go to the high priest's house in two days and confess to him..." Liu Lang said: "What the high priest dislikes the most is when others deliberately hide something from him, and even more
Besides, it’s about his daughter, so it’s better for Gu Jue to take the initiative to speak out, lest he find out and become furious and out of control!”
Zhao Li thought about it quickly and said: "Your Highness is right. I will send someone to the high priest's house soon."
As they were talking, someone came from outside the study: "His Royal Highness, Chen Fuyin is outside asking for an audience!"
Liu Lang looked at Zhao Li in confusion: "Why is Chen Fuyin here..."
Liu Lang turned around and asked, "Did you tell me what it was about?"
The visitor said: "Go back to Your Highness the Crown Prince. I heard from Chen Fuyin that the government just captured a group of gangsters who tried to kidnap a man from Chaixian County!"
"Ah?" Liu Lang and Zhao Li were stunned when they heard this...
