Jiaohua

Chapter 326
"Not here?" Wu Nei stood under the gate of Zheng Guogong's mansion, frowning and said, "Zheng Guogong is not here, what about the prince?"

"I'm not here either," Zhao Lai, the housekeeper, said with an anxious expression on his face, "Our Duke and the eldest son went to Fanghu County this morning, and some old men in charge of the manor there had conflicts with Mrs. Liu's wife. There was too much trouble. A few days ago, many people came to Beijing crying, and they had to ask our country’s father-in-law to uphold justice. How can we do this? It takes at least six or seven days to come and go, and now it’s winter again. I heard that There will still be heavy snow in a few days, even if you send someone there immediately, you may not be able to catch up on the road..."

Wu Neishi didn't want to listen to his rambling anymore, and said: "You send someone to get them back quickly now, whether they can meet them is another story, I will report back to the palace with the Holy Majesty."

"It's hard work, servant Wu." Zhao Lai smiled respectfully, and quietly stuffed a piece of silver in his sleeve, "tea fee, servant Wu, thank you."

Wu Neishi received it calmly, turned around and walked towards the sedan chair.

After seeing them off, Zhao Lai's face calmed down. After taking a deep breath, the servant of the same family was about to turn around, when a young girl ran over: "Wait, wait!"

Zhao Lai turned his eyes and looked around.

The girl was dressed in ordinary clothes, simple and clean, and said after running, "This is Duke Zheng's mansion, right?"

Zhao Lai sized her up: "Who are you?"

"Someone asked me to give this letter to Shizi." The girl handed over the letter.

"Our son is not here." Zhao Lai said immediately.

"Then give it to him when he's here." The girl said, handed the letter to the nearest servant, turned and ran away.

The servant took the letter and looked up at the butler.

Zhao Lai came and took a few steps away, and walked towards the mansion.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

A little dog wagging its tail, nimbly and lightly, jumped up from the vermilion black carpet, opened its mouth and bit the piece of meat.

"Good catch," Zhao Gong laughed, "Come again."

With that said, he threw the meat again.

The puppy jumped up again, caught it steadily, took a few bites and swallowed it directly.

"Wonderful, wonderful, come on, dog." Zhao Gong beckoned it to come over.

The puppy ran happily, rubbing against the man's white sleeve, enjoying his petting.

Zhao Lai quickly stepped in and said, "My lord."

"Sent away?" Zhao Gong looked up and asked with a smile.

"A letter." Zhao Lai handed over the envelope and described the girl's description and words.

"Don't be a love letter," Zhao Gong took the letter and said slowly while opening it, "then she's out of the game."

The content of the letter was only two lines, Zhao Gong glanced at it, raised his eyebrows lightly: "Oh?"

"My lord, what are you talking about?" Zhao Lai asked curiously.

"A Li wrote it, saying that there is a lunatic in Dingguo's mansion." Zhao Gong raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Lai, "It's Lu Qianhai."

Zhao Lai was startled: "Lu Qianhai!"

"Yes," Zhao Gong looked away, folded the letter, and said, "This is over. The letter says he is a lunatic. Where he is crazy has nothing to do with me, but what if I damage the carefully repaired letter?" What about the courtyard?"

"Your Majesty, it's not appropriate for you to show your face and go out now, so let Ji Sheng handle this matter." Zhao Lai said.

"No hurry," Zhao Gong said, looking at the censer at the side and the white smoke gently drifting away, "Let me think about it slowly."

"Thinking about what?"

"Why did this Ah Li give me Lu Qianhai?" Zhao Gong hugged the dog's egg in his arms and rubbed it, thinking, "If she hadn't made such a fuss on the execution ground today, why would this son deceive the king? Got caught I never went out of town, gotta have a flower in my head and ass."

"Could it be some trap." Zhao Lai said.

Zhao Gong didn't speak anymore, and looked down at Goudan.

The dog was petted by him and licked his fingers happily.

After being quiet for a while, Zhao Gong said, "It's really annoying."

"Ok?"

"Don't worry about it. My small yard is over there, so it's easy to be discovered. Just worry about it. It's hard for me to show up now." Zhao Gong pinched Goudan's face lightly, "Goudan, what do you think, Ah Li? Is it a dog?"

The little dog couldn't understand anything. When he saw him, he barked lightly at him, thinking he was playing.

"Yes, she is a dog, she is too bullying," Zhao Gong put down the dog egg, "Go, go and play."

Seeing the puppy running away happily, Zhao Gong stood up, stroked his white clothes, and said, "Then I shall be a dog too."

"What did the prince say..." Zhao Lai muttered.

"I'm going to write a letter, and you send someone to Zuixianlou. Since it's Lu Qianhai and he's in Dingguo's mansion, it's my brother's business. It's not my turn." Zhao Gong said, facing the study go.

........................

Another team of patrolling guards came and knocked on the door, it was clearly already Yin time, but the whole long street was full of noise, making it very disturbing.

Yang Guanxian was drawing talismans in the study, learning stroke by stroke from the talisman paper on the book.

Guo Ting sat beside him and looked at him with serious eyes.

After the guy downstairs came up and knocked on the door three times, Guo Ting said, "Those officers and soldiers have left."

Yang Guanxian responded, finished the last few strokes, and put down the pen.

Looking at the ink stains on the paper, Yang Guanxian said: "Let's continue." He looked up at Guo Ting, "The situation has become more and more chaotic, and everyone can't sit still. Fortunately, it's winter now. Once the winter is over, I don't know how long Li Ju can last in this country."

"So," Guo Ting was very clear about what he wanted to say, "You went to Qiluyuan today, what did Yan Qinglin say?"

"She's in a hurry," Yang Guanxian frowned, "and Fang Guanyan, this guy is ambitious, I'm really afraid what he will do."

"Ambition is actually a good thing." Guo Ting's voice lowered. "I think it would be great if the second brother could be a little bit ambitious. He's too devastated."

Yang Guanxian looked at him, picked up the pen again, dipped the pen into the ink with his chubby hand, and said, "There is always a difference between what you want to do and what others force you to do."

"It can't be helped," Guo Ting said, "If it weren't for them, the second brother would have died a long time ago, so I owe them."

Yang Guanxian laughed "hehe", put the fast-drying paper aside to dry, continued to draw, and said, "I went to Daping Square today and ran into that cousin Cao Youyun."

"Song Qingtang?"

"I thought we'd have to do it. With such a skilled general, our men would be a little bit dangerous, and it would be easy to hurt him in a melee, so I wanted to trick him away," Yang Guanxian continued, "The result was stopped by a person, guess who it is."

"Who?"

"Shen Lie." Yang Guanxian said.
