Chapter 632: Strange News (Part 1)

"Official uniform?" Cao Yong was stunned when he heard this.

Thinking of what Zhiran said yesterday, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and then said to Chu Yu: "Find out another set. If there is no peacock replenishment, just change to Qilin replenishment."

Chu Yu looked at her husband, responded, and went to find a new set of peacock replenishment clothes to serve Cao Yong. The soft golden silk armor that the couple looked at last night was wearing in the replenishment clothes.

After breakfast, when Cao Yong got up and went out, Chu Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr., how many more can you buy?"

"It's enough, no need for it." At this point, Cao Yong paused and said, "It's a chain mail that needs some, so see if there are. If not, see which Wangfuyuan house can speak, and ask someone to borrow more than a dozen of them first."

"Yeah, I know." Chu Yu responded and helped her husband flatten the collar.

Cao Yong thought about it and said, "I'm afraid there are too many things in the yamen, so I have to be busy for a while before I can go back. If there is something here, you can look for it... you can look for it to discuss it with Zhiran."

"Master Zhiran?" Chu Yu was quite confused when he heard this, not knowing how her husband would entrust housework to his monks.

"Zhiran is smart and clever, and he often praised him when he was alive." Cao Yong replied, gently lowered his wife before coming out of the West Courtyard.

In addition to being smart, it is also because Zhiran is a monk, so he avoids taboos and is convenient for entering and leaving the inner house, so that the two are better to be in harmony.

Otherwise, Cao Yongwei was really worried about leaving only his wife and daughter in the garden. Although Chu Yu had been the director of the family for many years, he had Amethyst around him. He rarely said that he was in charge of his business alone.

When we arrived at the front yard, Wei Hei and others were standing in a bunch of them, not knowing what to say. Cao Yong took a closer look, but was seeing the indigo blue official uniform.

When he got closer, he was stunned and speechless.

It was Zhiran who stood beside Wei Hei and Li Wei wearing peacock replenishment clothes. Seeing Cao Yong come out, Zhiran had a faint smile on his face.

Although Zhiran "recommended himself" yesterday, Cao Yong refused. He regarded Zhiran as a friend, how could he clearly know that there was danger and still let him be his substitute?

But I don’t know who was the idea, so I took the official uniform from the inner house and dressed up Zhiran.

In the past, when the two were together, they could only be said to be somewhat similar; now they are standing face to face, but they look like brothers. The two are tall, short, fat, and thin, but Zhiran's clothes are slightly cleaner.

"Young Master?" Seeing Cao Yong wearing official uniforms, Wei Hei took a little worried and advised: "Although I don't know when those people will come out of seclusion, it's better to be careful as soon as possible."

"Today is the third year of the junior high school. Even if those people are rushing, the number of people they can reach is limited and they are still a little rich. Just look for others and just look for someone with the same size. If you really can't find a suitable one, you will leave the gate in an empty sedan chair." Cao Yong said, "It's not possible."

When everyone heard this, they looked different.

Li Wei said with a little pride: "What am I saying? Master Cao will definitely not agree with this matter. This is not in line with the morality of a friend. How can Master Cao let Master Zhiran take the risk?"

Jiang Jian looked at Cao Yong, then looked at Zhiran. There was nothing on his face, but he was already shocked and suspicious.

Wei Hei and Zheng Hu knew Cao Yong's temper and said more was futile. Wei Hei bowed and said, "It's Lao Hei that he's troubled, don't blame him, young master."

After hearing Chu Yu's words, Cao Yong also knew that the designation was not related to Wei Hei. He could talk to him if he could discuss it differently. Apart from Mr. Zhuang, the old man, was the only one who had left.

"I know Brother Wei's love and care, and I can relax for a few days, and then find the right person." Cao Yong said with a smile, trying to make the atmosphere relax.

His heart was also very magical.

Looking at Zhiran opposite him, it was like looking at himself in the mirror. Thinking of Zhiran's life experience abandoned outside Qingliang Temple when he was in a cradle, Cao Yong really doubted his father's character.

"Looking at it, little monk, think about it carefully, do you want to return to the secular world? In this way, you don't have to worry about marrying a wife." Cao Yong patted Zhiran's shoulder and said with a little joke.

"The little monk is trying to use the light of donor Cao to enter this world of illusion. Why doesn't donor Cao achieve one or two?" Zhiran clasped his hands together and said seriously.

Cao Yong also stopped the laughter on his face and said, "Since it is a friend, if the young monk wants to experience the world, I am not too late to protect the Dharma. How can I lead the young monk to this dangerous situation? I want to entrust my housework. If the young monk does not care about triviality, can I help me?"

Seeing that Cao Yong was firm and knew that he had made up his mind, Zhiran reached out and took off the top of his head and wig, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, the little monk is willing to do his best."

In addition to Zhiran, Zheng Hu also stayed at Yuanzi's side and was responsible for Yuanzi's escort. Those who followed Cao Yong out were Xiaoman, Wei Hei, Jiang Jian, Li Wei, Zhao Tong, Cao Jia and others.

Ren Shuyong and Ren Jiyong were the two brothers, because they became the martial arts masters of Tianyou and the others, and stayed in the capital and did not accompany them.

Cao Yong boarded the carriage, and everyone rode their horses to the palace.

In the carriage, Cao Yong touched it around and decided to think carefully to increase the defense ability of his car. Steel plates should be welded around it, so that it can resist firearms.

Although the court strictly controlled firearms, after all, there were muskets in the Ming Dynasty, and there were also many skilled craftsmen among the people. The thing is still filled and it is troublesome to use, and the range should not exceed dozens to hundreds of feet. However, if equipped, it would be more than enough for ambushing and assassination.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong touched the soft armor on his body through his official uniform, thinking whether to do an experiment and see how defensive this body is.

But when he thought that this was given by his father-in-law, his thoughts disappeared.

At this moment, he blamed himself for being shallow. Why didn’t he read many miscellaneous books in his previous life? Even if he couldn’t invent a pistol, he could know how to make a bulletproof vest.

When they arrived at the Interior Government Office of the Palace, the soldiers on duty could not help but show surprise because Cao Yong came too early.

After getting a badge, those who followed Cao Yong in were Jiang Jian, Wei Hei, Cao Jia, Zhao Tong, and Xiaoman. There was no one around. Cao Yong laid paper and outlined the general road map from the garden to the palace, and studied the places that are most likely to be peeped and ambushed.

Although it is necessary to lead the snake out of the hole, it is not easy to be passive and wait until the other party is cleaned up before responding to the challenge.

Find these places and arrange people to stare at them, maybe you can get the opportunity.

There are few private houses around the palace, most of which are gardens and courtyards of princes and powerful men, and the Eight Banners Barracks.

Everyone recalled the way they had just come, but only three or four miles, passing by a small forest, two corners, three streets, seven or eight homes.

There are more than a dozen places where people can hide and set up ambush.

It would be fine if I was outside, but it would be difficult to detect if I was in the garden on both sides of the road.

Thinking of this, Wei Hei couldn't help but frown, looked around everyone, and felt a little more worried...

Chunwang Mansion Garden, West Courtyard.

Chu Yu sat on a chair and looked at everyone in the hall. Although it was the garden of her parents, she came back with her husband and daughter to live there for a while. Although Chu Yu was greeted by the housekeeper here two days ago, she did not control the internal affairs of the garden.

The upper and lower levels are acting here and follow the previous rules.

Now, since it is related to the safety of the family, Chu Yu no longer dares to be slow.

"There are two teams, each team has ten people, and the inner garden is divided into different places. All the staff members must be checked according to the list. If there are people not listed, they will be tied up and sent to the front yard for interrogation. The same is true for the message to the front yard. If there is any omission, ten people will be punished the same." Chu Yu looked around everyone and said softly.

Xicai, Xiyan and others naturally had nothing to say, lowered their eyebrows and leaned over to answer.

But the few housekeepers in the garden here didn't know why the young and honest princess wanted to show off her power?

One of the mothers, whose husband's surname is Zhou, had a daughter-in-law who had been married to the Seventh Prince in her early years, and now she followed her son and daughter-in-law to work here. She is considered an important figure in the inner garden. Even in front of Chu Yu, there is a seat.

She has always been a stubborn person, and when she saw Chu Yu treating others with kindness, she was a little arrogant.

After hearing Chu Yu's words, she didn't respond, but said with a smile: "Is someone naughty and hit the big princess? I told the old slave to see if I don't reveal their skin? Don't be upset, be careful to get angry. What is your identity? Why bother with those servants? The garden is quiet, and I know that the big princess and the prince are here to stay for a while. The old slave has brought someone to check it out, and it's only a few days."

The manager of the garden here was so happy to see that Madam Zhou stood up.

Chu Yu glanced at Madam Zhou, with a faint expression, and said, "If I remember well, Madam is over 60 and is still in the middle of the day. It's really hard to be able to see it. Let's take a break from now on." As he said, he said to Xicai, who was standing beside him, "You can pick up the keys and account books first, and then find a proper person to serve as a job."

When Madam Zhou heard this, she was stunned.

I just interrupted and got errands?

Even King Chun Fujin never treated her like this.

She pale her face and squeezed out a little smile, "I thank the big princess for being polite, but I am still healthy and this job is under the responsibilities of the concubine. I dare not be lazy."

Chu Yu just looked at the roster in his hand and did not respond.

Xicai stepped forward and said, "Before the princess left the capital, he returned to the prince's mansion to pay his respects, the concubine has already spoken. The princess is allowed to be the princess here."

Madam Zhou was dissatisfied and stood up, trying to find a word to make arguing again.

Chu Yu looked up, unable to tell the joy and anger on his face, but looking over, Madam Zhou stopped. She remembered the prince and concubine's favor for the big prince, and the way the big prince's biological mother, Nala, but she felt excited.

The dragon gives birth to the dragon, and the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix.

This big princess looked at Heshan, but whether it was the concubine who gave birth to her or the concubine who raised her, which one was easy to deal with?

She sat down embarrassedly and stopped responding. She was both annoyed that she should not speak too much and complained that the big princess was troublesome. Since she was out, why did she go back to her parents' garden to live...

On the front yard, Zhiran has changed back to the monk's robes.

In his hand, he was holding a sketch of the construction of the Wangfu Garden, along with Zheng Hu and Zhang Yi, looking at the garden as a defense.

There is another sketch on the table, which was given to the house by the Rehe of the Cao family. Now the house is being repaired, and it will take two or three months to live in it. So, don’t consider the house there for now.

At this time, the maid Xi Cai, who was beside Chu Yu, came to pass the message. Everyone responded and gathered the idle hands together and checked the few in the front yard into the garden and the room.

After all, it is not bigger than the garden. There are only three places in front of it and about ten yards. Whether it is a living person or an idle person, I have checked them one by one.

Even so, the query was completed in less than an hour.

It was found that two people who were not on the list came. One was Madam Zhou's grandson, who was idle and went to his uncle to have a free meal; the other was the brother of the fourth concubine of Qin Gui, the eldest housekeeper in the garden. He was only twelve or three years old. He looked so clean and looked like an honest child.

In addition to the two more, two are missing according to the counting number listed in the booklet.

One is a servant in the study. He broke the inkstone and suffered a board. He died of illness and had not yet been cancelled. Another is a gardener Guan Si who hooked up with a girl from the inner house and eloped and became a fugitive slave. He had reported to the yamen.

When Madam Zhou’s son Zhou Qing and the butler Qin Gui got the news, the two found were not tied up and were all locked up in the same place.

Qin Gui felt uncomfortable when he watched his brother-in-law suffer. However, he was the most sleek. Although he didn't know the details, he also realized that the atmosphere in the garden was different from yesterday.

In addition, he had heard from the garden. When he just got the news, he knew that Madam Zhou had been stopped for work. He was still confused. The big princess just stayed in a short time, so why did she take care of the housework?

Although she is the eldest princess of the royal palace and the master, it is nothing to be the master of the family in the garden. However, as far as Qin Gui knows, this little master has a very good temper and does not seem to be a person who likes to show off and takes power.

If he wants to take over power and accept the park responsibilities, what should he, the prince’s personal steward?

When the Cao family planned to buy property, they entrusted him to handle it. Although the Interior Office later granted the house, the relevant repair affairs were also managed by him and Wu Sheng, the manager of the Cao family.

Now that I saw that not only the inner garden, but also the atmosphere in the front house became tense, Qin Gui didn't have time to care about his brother-in-law.
