Yun Duo stepped forward to take a closer look and said: "He is dead, but it seems that this person is not a disguised person, but a servant of the real concierge."
After hearing this, the guard said in horror: "So, someone asked this person to bring false news to the princess, but why is he reporting to you that the emperor is safe?"
Fang Jinyan thought for a long time and said: "Now that this person is dead, naturally no evidence can be found. The best way at this time is to keep everyone together and not act separately. I can't figure out this person's purpose for the time being, but One thing that can be explained is that someone knows that I am in the Wang Family Courtyard."
Furong said: "Apart from Mr. Wang and the Leng family, there should be no one else involved in this matter."
After hearing this, Fang Jinyan said: "Wang Zhixuan asked his men to go to the Leng family to report the news, so who of you informed you to come?"
Yun Duo said: "The concierge of Leng Mansion also informed us, because the housekeeper accompanied several ladies to offer incense early in the morning, and they had not come back when we left."
Fang Jinyan asked in confusion: "Why do the sisters take the time to burn incense at this time today? Why do they have to burn incense when the eldest brother and the second wife are not around?"
Furong said: "Today is the memorial day of the eldest lady's mother. Every year, the eldest lady goes there. It's unstoppable."
Fang Jinyan was vaguely uneasy, frowning, and whispered to Yun Duo worriedly: "Yun Duo, I always feel that something is wrong. Why are they on the same day?"
Yun Duo understood Fang Jinyan's worries and said, "Don't worry. Brother Leng has taken your worries into account, so he brought a lot of extra guards with him today. How about asking someone to go back and ask?"
Fang Jinyan thought for a moment and shook her head. Said: "It would be great if Huaishan was here at this time. If my sister goes up the mountain to save the emperor, there will be no one around who can disguise herself."
Furong heard this and said, "Why does the princess want to disguise herself?"
Yun Duo said: "Jin Yan was worried, and she was afraid that her appearance would be a drag on others if people recognized her, so she wanted to change her appearance and go back to Leng Mansion to have a look."
After hearing this, Furong said: "What's so difficult about this? Although the Second Madam is not here, and Brother Zhao is not here either, isn't there still Fang Lizi?"
Fang Jinyan heard this. Said: "But how can I find him?"
Furong smiled cleverly at Fang Jinyan, pointed at a guard present, and said, "They can find Fang Lizi."
Half an hour later, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed like a maid from an official family, entered the Leng Mansion. After a stick of incense. This girl came out alone again. She first walked to the entrance of the alley, then looked around, and then walked towards the street. She walked about five or six hundred meters and went straight to a tavern.
The little girl did not come out of the front door of the tavern. Instead, she made an excuse to go to the backyard to have sex, and then climbed out of the pig pen. There happened to be an inconspicuous carriage waiting there behind the pigsty.
The girl looked carefully in front of the car and then quickly got into the car, and the carriage quickly left the place.
"Miss. Madam, are they back?" Sitting in the carriage was a woman in her thirties who looked very ordinary, even a little ugly.
The girl shook her head and said: "Maybe we have guessed correctly. Let Fang Lizi go directly to Xiangguo Temple and see if we can find them on the road."
The woman was surprised, but she stuck her head out first and was about to speak. The driver was wearing a bamboo hat and could not see his face clearly, but his voice sounded very old.
"I heard what the girl said just now, but there are only three of us, so I'm afraid"
The girl took a step forward, stuck her head out, and said, "Even if I'm the only one, I'm going to find out what's going on."
After hearing this, the old man raised his whip and shouted, and the horse's speed became even faster.
"Then does Leng Mansion know your identity?" the woman asked.
The girl said: "No one in charge of the family is here, so it's not convenient to expose your identity."
"Then have you gone to see the madam and the young master?"
The girl still shook her head, with a hint of sadness on her delicate face, and then smiled at the woman and said, "It's not a good time to go now. Let's go find the eldest lady and the others first, and then we can find them."
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the city, the driver stopped the carriage and whispered, "My wife and the maid are staying in the carriage. I'll go take some food and come back soon." After saying that, he got out of the carriage and headed toward the carriage. He walked towards the soldiers approaching the city gate.
"If the emperor hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid it will be easier to enter the city than to leave the city." The girl said worriedly.
The woman gently opened the corner of the curtain and looked outside, only to see the coachman taking something out of his arms and talking to the soldier. After a while, the soldier waved his hand impatiently, and the coachman nodded and bowed. He said something to the soldier, and his old face was probably about to burst into laughter.
Soon, the carriage left the city gate. After walking for a while, the woman stuck her head out and asked, "What did you give that soldier?"
The coachman smiled faintly and said, "It's not your Lord's sign, it's just a piece of gold."
The woman looked a little surprised and said, "I want an ingot of gold!"
The coachman did not look back and just said: "The soldier said that the court has an order. Once Hai hour passes in the past two days, you can only enter the city but not leave the city."
The woman retracted her body and sat down again. The girl said to the side: "It seems that he really hasn't come back. I just don't know what the intentions of the person who gave me the false news are?"
The woman said: "It sounds like I'm telling you not to worry, but if you were really kind, the concierge's servant wouldn't bite his tongue and commit suicide."
The girl nodded, sighed softly, and said, "I don't know what happened to the eldest lady and the others now. I hope everything is fine."
As he was talking, suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves and unreal noise in front of him. It seemed like there was scolding and crying. It was not very clear, but the sound was getting closer and closer.
The girl looked at the woman, who understood and said to the coachman: "Look carefully, there seems to be someone in front of you."
The driver said: "If it's not the target, you two should stay in the car. I can't protect them both by myself."
The girl and the woman didn't speak. The three of them kept moving forward in the carriage. Judging from the light from the lantern hanging on the front of the carriage, they could see that there were three or four horses and seven or eight people coming from the opposite side.
Seeing that they were getting closer, the coachman suddenly said in a deep voice: "The leader is an official. I also saw the eldest lady's maid, Caosui, but I didn't see the eldest lady."
The girl quickly exchanged glances with the woman, and the two of them moved towards the car door almost at the same time.
"Stop, stopwhere are you from and where are you going?"
The carriage stopped, and someone outside the carriage was greeting loudly, with a very unfriendly and even overbearing attitude.
"My lord, in the car are my wife and her maid. We went to the city to visit relatives and live in the suburbs. We are going home now." The coachman replied tremblingly.
"Get out of the car, get off the car We need to use this car. You can find your own way back. Get off the car and get out of the car quickly."
The girl glanced at the woman, jumped out of the car first, and then carefully helped the woman out of the car. The two of them pretended to be very scared and leaned against the roadside. Taking this opportunity, the girl saw the person in front of her, except In addition to the eldest lady, the third and fourth ladies and their maids and housekeepers were all there, but these people were tied up with ropes and could only walk, with their hands tied behind their backs.
"What are you looking at? If you look carefully, I will gouge out your eyes." The leader looked like an officer and soldier, with a horse face and a bossy look, pointing his riding crop at the girl and shouting loudly.
The girl quickly lowered her head, and the woman on the side pointed to a horse behind these people and said: "Master, my family has been studying medicine for generations. I want to see if the man on the horse is sick. I can take a look." "
After hearing this, the girl discovered that there was a person being carried on a horse behind these people. It looked like a woman. The girl felt nervous. Could it be that the eldest lady was injured?
The officer and soldier looked at the woman, showing no interest, and called two of his men to drive the horse forward, and then said: "Be careful, don't let her die. If she dies, you won't get the money." ¡±
The girl took the opportunity to say: "I thought you were officers and soldiers, but now I see it, it turns out to be a fake. Since it is a fake, we can't give you this carriage." After that, she looked at the mocking look of the leading officers and soldiers.
The officer and soldier looked very angry after hearing this, and he was about to swing his whip at the girl. The driver quickly pushed the girl away with quick eyes and hands, and then said with a smile: "This officer, please don't be angry. This girl means nothing, and she did not mean to contradict or offend." The official's."
The girl ignored him, walked straight to the horse, blocked the man on the horse with her back, then put her hands behind her back, looked at the officers and soldiers on the horse, and said: "If you are serious, then this man is obviously sick. Not only are you If you don't want people to be treated, and you say you can't get money after death, could it be that you robbed these people who looked very rich at first glance and asked their families if they wanted money?"
"Your little hooves, I think you are tired of living. I don't want you to take care of my affairs" After saying that, he raised the whip again. The girl didn't hide anymore, and the whip fell impartially. Got itOn his mother's shoulder, the girl took the opportunity to yell and stumbled down on the horse. Before the officers and soldiers could react, she touched the face of the man on the horse with her own hands. She found that the man was still warm, and she felt relieved. Come down.
Seeing this, the coachman quickly stepped forward and pushed the girl aside angrily, and then said to the officer and soldier: "You must not get angry because of this little hoof, but I do think what she said is reasonable. Apart from anything else, if this man hadn't been seriously ill, the official would definitely not have let the poor people give you the car. Since he is sick, you might as well let my wife take a look at it. Maybe he can get better. This will also be beneficial to the official. No harm at all." After saying that, he smiled flatteringly at the officers and soldiers, looking very flattering. (To be continued)
