The old housekeeper stretched out his hand to take it and saw that it was indeed Tian Ji's unique sign of urgent reporting. At this time, he could not take care of it at all, as he was no longer concerned about the matter he had just been struggling with. Immediately, he called a maid and asked her to go to the backyard to inform the master and go to the study.
There is an urgent report.
The old butler himself hurriedly took the letter and walked to the study in the outer courtyard. After walking for a while, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and walked directly to Shopkeeper Tian's yard.
Now the only person in the family who can discuss things, apart from himself, is Lao Tian. The old housekeeper decided to ask Lao Tian to join him and wait at the door of the study, just in case something happens to his old boss and they need to make preparations.
Shopkeeper Tian had just sat down and drank a cup of tea when he saw the old housekeeper walking into the courtyard in a panic. He hurriedly greeted the old housekeeper. Seeing the old housekeeper's appearance, something must have happened.
Before he could ask, the old housekeeper raised the letter in his hand and showed the Tian Ji's unique logo to shopkeeper Tian. He called him and immediately went to the outer study to wait for his old boss's call.
Not bothering to tell the boy to wait for Blacksmith Wang to come back, Shopkeeper Tian followed the old housekeeper, and the two of them hurried to the study in the outer courtyard.
As soon as the two of them stood still, their old boss had already walked over from the backyard. The old housekeeper respectfully handed over the letter. Mr. Tian took the letter, opened the envelope, and read it carefully. The more he looked at him, the more serious his face became.
Shopkeeper Tian and his old boss saw that Mr. Tian's face was getting worse and worse, and they knew that what was informed in the letter was not good news.
This kind of torturous waiting made time pass particularly slowly. When Mr. Tian put down the letter and looked at the two of them, the old housekeeper and the shopkeeper Tian were already anxious, waiting anxiously for Mr. Tian to speak.
Both of them are Mr. Tian's trusted subordinates. Over the years, they have wholeheartedly taken care of the old house and Miss Tian for Mr. Tian. The content of the letter also involves the previous kidnapping of Miss Tian, so Mr. Tian put down the letter.
Finally, he spoke directly to them and roughly explained the contents of the letter.
"Just after the Lantern Festival, the prince gave a memorial in an early morning court and exposed the eight crimes of the third prince. Among these eight crimes, one of them was to send someone to kidnap the heir of Tian Ji in an attempt to blackmail Tian Ji and speak for him.
"
This news suddenly shocked the old housekeeper and shopkeeper Tian. They did not expect that such a big thing would happen in the court just after the New Year. And it was Guan Tian Ji, and it also involved Miss Tian. The two of them
Their hearts were raised to their throats all of a sudden, and they all asked with concern whether Master Tian needed them to do anything.
Seeing the eager eyes of the two people, Mr. Tian motioned to them to be calm: "This matter still needs me to go to Beijing to handle it personally. I also secretly investigated a lot about the last matter, and there are many
The clues all point to the Third Prince.
Although the clues clearly pointed to the third prince, I still felt uneasy. I thought that after the new year, I would investigate more carefully to see if the third prince was really behind the scenes, or if someone deliberately framed him. I didn’t expect
, this matter was brought to the attention of the court by the prince so quickly. Now there is no time for me to investigate slowly. "
After speaking, Mr. Tian turned to the old housekeeper: "I will rush to the capital early tomorrow morning to prevent things from getting worse. You should prepare the carriage, and it is best to prepare replacement horses. We may have to travel day and night along the way."
The old butler hurriedly agreed, turned around and went out to prepare. He had to try his best to arrange his old boss's itinerary. After all, his boss was not young anymore. He had to hurry up again this time, so he didn't want to be well prepared.
After the old housekeeper went out, Mr. Tian said to Shopkeeper Tian: "Old Tian, you will take over the matter here for the time being. We must continue to investigate that matter. Everyone who kidnapped Nannan last time must not let go of any clues.
.”
At this point, he suddenly remembered something and continued: "As for meeting the young man Gong Jian, this matter can only be postponed. For now, I still have to rush to Beijing as soon as possible."
Shopkeeper Tian also hurriedly agreed. The two of them didn't say much. Mr. Tian got up and went to prepare. Before leaving, he had to say goodbye to his daughter.
Mr. Tian was filled with reluctance at the thought of leaving his granddaughter again so soon. He originally thought that he would stay at home for a few more days this time and see new signs of improvement in his daughter, but it was not up to anyone and he did not know.
, what kind of scene is it.
So early the next morning, as he had done every morning these days, Gong Jian went to the county school with pen, ink, paper and inkstone to copy the exam questions. He passed by a gorgeous carriage. It was still early at that time, but it was still dim.
At that time, it was so early that except for people doing breakfast business, there were basically no other people in the county.
Gong Jian was still walking forward quickly, still thinking about the test papers he planned to copy today. And the reason why he was able to go to the county school so early was thanks to his generous help these days. The county school is now
From the doorman to the teacher, everyone was bribed by Gong Jian's sugar-coated bullets. On the street next to Gong Jian, a luxurious carriage ran in the opposite direction to him.
The moment Gong Jian and the carriage passed by each other, he stopped, then turned around and looked at the passing carriage. Gong Jian thought with some confusion, how could he seem to see Tian Ji's logo in a daze?
?
Did that carriage belong to Tian Ji? But he then thought that in such a small county, such a luxurious carriage could only be owned by Tian Ji. Moreover, the people in the carriage were
The status in Tian Ji is not too low, otherwise, the level of the carriage would not be so luxurious.
What he didn't know was that the person who passed by him was actually the person in charge of Tian Ji, the grandfather of Miss Tian who he longed for in his heart, the one he always wanted to achieve something before asking to see him.
people.
What Gong Jian didn't expect was that he was just a little bit away from meeting the head of Tianji face to face today. But just by such a chance, the two of them passed each other on the street.
, but no one knows each other.
The days passed as Gong Jian went to the county to study. During this period, several major events happened in the court. One of them was that the third prince was imprisoned because he offended Sheng Yan.
He was punished not to leave his fiefdom and not to return to Beijing for life.
The prince was also reprimanded for doing something that was not in line with the holy will. There was a turmoil in the court. But this matter was far away from this small county. (To be continued)
