Mr. Xiang teases her husband every day

After Zhang Yan received the secret letter from Gao Minxing, he turned around and drove back.But halfway through the journey, he suddenly asked the coachman to stop, and sat alone in the car with his eyes half closed, meditating.

Xiang Yuan was not in Guanzhong, so the task Master Gao entrusted to him was a waste of time.If you go back like this, not only will you not get any credit, but you will also have the impression that you are mentally weak, and it may not be easy to show yourself in front of Mr. Gao.What's more, according to Master Gao's indistinct meaning, if he is useless, this life may not be kept.

What should I do?

Thinking of Xiang Yuan who put him in such a difficult situation, Zhang Yan gritted his teeth with hatred.

At the beginning, he should not have kindly rescued him and let him lie in the wilderness. He would not have the high-spiritedness of Xiang Yuan in front of others later, and it would not be possible to stimulate him to think sideways and do wrong things. As a result, he would never be able to enter the official career again. You can only hide behind the scenes and be a villain who is good at intrigue.And now, being involved in such a dangerous situation, he can't advance or retreat.

Xiang Yuan didn't go to Guanzhong, so he stayed in Hejian Mansion secretly.

He has also heard about the nasty things in Hejian Mansion in private.No matter how cautious and cunning Gao Minxing is, there will always be traces.Zhang Yan speculated from the clues that official salt and grain, just these two, were the serious crimes of ransacking the family and exterminating the clan.It's just that the three prefectures of Guanzhong, Hejian, and Jiangnan have always been bold and bold because of their wealth and prosperity, and the imperial court also tended to turn a blind eye to it, so that these people became more reckless.

However, it has always been to support the bold and starve the timid.Let's just talk about Gao Minxing. Before that, he came from a middle-class family, and his net worth did not exceed 2000 taels of silver. Now, he can buy more than this amount of antique calligraphy and paintings casually.

Xiang Yuan wanted to investigate secretly, where would he stay in Hejian Mansion?

Zhang Yan tapped the edge of the small table casually while making quick calculations in his mind.

Suddenly, he jerked violently, opened his eyes, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

No, no, Xiang Yuan will not stay in Hejian Mansion, he must have gone to Jiangnan Mansion!

Zhang Yan sat up straight suddenly, and carefully recalled what the servant who asked for the news said that day.

The master said to ask Mr. to come back quickly.That person is not in Guanzhong.The Hejian Mansion was also nowhere to be seen.Guan Qing was quietly sent away by that person, I don't know where he is now.

In the end, the servant seemed to have nothing to say. Seeing that Zhang Yan was still asking, he didn't know whether it was nonsense or he didn't see it clearly. He stumbled and said, "I vaguely saw a man named Niu Er who looked like the man next to him riding a horse towards Jiangnan Mansion." Yes, but not sure.

At that time Zhang Yan also felt that the servant really had nothing to say. After all, what he said was vague and he was not sure about anything, just an unreliable guess.But looking back now, Zhang Yan felt that the servant he saw was probably Niu Er, the most useful person around Xiang Yuan.

If Xiang Yuan also got the news about that major event, then he would never stop at Hejian Mansion.And if he really went to Jiangnan Mansion, out of safety considerations, he would never throw his only son in Hejian Mansion and let Gao Minxing dig three feet of the ground to search people.So, where will Xiang Yuan put his precious son?

Zhang Yan closed his eyes, with a map of the three prefectures in his mind, he thought about the way out from Hejian Mansion.After a while, he opened his eyes suddenly, and told the impatient coachman outside: "Turn around, let's go to the official road leading to Guanzhong."

The more you deceive people, the greater the danger at this time. Based on his speculation about Xiang Yuan's character, Xiang Yuan will definitely choose the official way when he sends his son out at this time!

Sure enough, a day later, on the official road ten miles away from Guanzhong, a mule cart slowly drove over.The mule is smooth and smooth, tall and airy.The driver and the attendants who drove the carriage were all full of energy and in good spirits.When people outside who didn't know it saw it, they must have thought it was the son of a rich family who came out to play.And because it is on the official road, there will be no thieves, ruffians, and idlers who don't have eyesight to harass. The tea sheds where you rest are also served by the shopkeepers.

Zhang Yanyin observed carefully in the dark for two days before making a plan to do it.

Followed by Xiang Anjue are the followers that Xiang Yuan has subdued in the past two years.Those who can be selected to escort Xiang Yuan's eldest son are all loyal and reliable people who have passed the test.It's a pity that people don't only have to be loyal. One driver and two escorts, because Xiang Yuan has been in a high position since he followed Xiang Yuan, and he is deeply loved by the people of Tongping Mansion. His official career has been smooth and smooth. Shun, I didn't encounter any thrills.As time goes by, it is inevitable that you will slack off.Escorting Xiang Anjue out this time was also a steady journey. Seeing that the Guanzhong City Gate was in sight, these people were even more relieved.As a result, Zhang Yan took advantage of this loosening.

When Xiang Anjue woke up, he was not sitting in his own mule cart, but lying in a completely unfamiliar carriage.The interior decoration of the car was very simple, and the mattress was not thick enough. He didn't know where he went, and the bumps were terrible. He felt that his back and butt must be blue.

With a move, Xiang Anjue's expression changed drastically.When he just woke up, his hands and feet were numb. He thought it was because he had been lying down for too long, but now he moved a little and realized that his hands and feet were tied up!

"you're awake."

A cold voice came from the side.

Xiang Anjue turned his head to look, and saw a gloomy man sitting half an arm away on the other side. He was about the same age as his father, but not as good-looking as his father. He was staring at him right now. The cold light from his eyes frightened him.

"Who are you? You tied me up to ask for money? Don't worry, as long as you let me go, my father and father will definitely wrap up a big bag of silver for you. There will be a big bag of money." .”

After finishing speaking, thinking of blinking and blinking with Daddy and Daddy before, the two of them basically let their quarrel run wild, so now that they finished talking, they hurriedly blinked their eyes hard, it's a pika.

Zhang Yan stared at the kid in front of him who was pretending to be calm, seeing him trying to convince himself, and blinking his eyes to be cute, although he also thought he was cute, so he wanted to pat his head.However, thinking of his purpose, Zhang Yan snorted coldly, suppressed a corner of his heart that was suddenly soft, and became cold and hard again.

"You don't need to show off your little cleverness, you can just wait at ease, the master will take you to see your father."

Xiang Anjue held her mouth shut, tears were about to fall out.He could see that the person in front of him either had a grudge against his father, or wanted to harm his father, otherwise he wouldn't have tied him up, and he was acting weird.

In his mind, he thought about the emergency rescue booklets that his father specially compiled for him before, corresponding to each one, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't recall it.The little Xiang Anjue did not cry out in front of Zhang Yan because of her arrogance.

Zhang Yan, on the other hand, was clearly terrified when he saw Xiang Anjue, his eyes were red, but he bit his lip and remained silent.With a cold snort, he turned his head and told the driver to speed up.

At this time, Jiangnan Mansion, a place where singing and dancing have been peaceful, prosperous and peaceful for several years, has become a mess a few days ago.

The rumors that came out of nowhere, once spread, spread quickly to counties, towns and villages in Jiangnan Prefecture, especially those places that were selected to recruit corvee this year. The speed at which the rumors spread, It's just like the wind is rising, and what's even more frightening is that after one spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred, the rumors changed from one version to three, then to five, and finally seventeen or eight.People are panicked and restless.Many people started to gather spontaneously, heading towards Prince Qing's Mansion in Fuzhou.The county yamen blocked it several times, but after finding it had no effect at all, they did not dare to release the yamen servants to suppress it by force, for fear that an accident would spark a civil uprising.In the end, he had no choice but to let himself go, while sending an urgent letter to Shangfeng.

If there is one place where the people are released, the rest will have no position to stop them.So, within two days, the outside of the city was surrounded by a crowd of people, clamoring and clamoring to see their family members who had been conscripted before.

Song Qinghui, the magistrate of Jiangnan Prefecture, glanced over at the city wall, his mouth bursting with anxiety.For this matter, he went to Prince Qing's mansion several times, but every time he was dismissed hastily, without even seeing Prince Qing's face.At this time, Song Qinghui's legs and feet were weak when he saw a scene similar to the civil uprising, and he secretly scolded King Qing for his inhumanity.The matter that could be resolved as long as the conscripted corvee was released to meet him, but he refused, and asked the steward of the palace to perfunctory and procrastinate.Is this affordable?

King Qing, who was scolded secretly, was also suing his head at this time.

I don't know if someone is secretly causing trouble, or if it's really that bad.The cargo ship transporting special medicines found that the bottom warehouse had flooded before it sailed out of the harbor, not to mention soaking all the cargo in a good warehouse, and almost causing the entire ship to sink into the sea.The last check found that the water seepage in the bottom warehouse was not big, but there were more than a dozen holes. Judging from the marks, it seemed that they were bitten by mice.The boatman knew that the matter was serious and did not dare to hide it, so he hurriedly reported the incident to King Qing. At first, King Qing didn't think it was a serious matter, but ordered his subordinates in the dark workshop to rush out another batch of pills and send them out to sea in time .

As a result, the second time was even more exaggerated. The cargo ship sailed halfway, and the entire bottom warehouse suddenly fell down.A boatload of boatmen plopped down like dumplings.King Qing's subordinates who came with the boat, one of them was a landlubber, who struggled desperately as soon as he fell, and his legs stretched out when others pulled him up to rescue him.

Once can be said to be a coincidence, but twice is unusual no matter how you look at it.King Qing rushed to the beach with a gloomy face, only to see the dilapidated half of the boat being pulled back.Needless to say, none of the pills on board was saved and all sank in the sea.

Thinking of the prince who is still locked up in the secret room on the island, King Qing sneered with a sullen face.

At this time, the steward of the Wang's Mansion rushed over and handed over the secret letter from Gao Minxing of Hejian Mansion.King Qing opened it and saw that it was bad news again, and his already bad mood was suddenly cast a big shadow.

Gao Minxing said that the imperial envoy came to Hejian Mansion and was investigating the official salt. He had already found Zhangjiagang, and Prince Wangqing tried to cover it up.

Cover up, cover up!
