After struggling for half the night, he lay in bed and thought about things for a while. It was almost dawn, and Zhang Heling fell into a deep sleep. This sleep lasted until almost noon.
If it hadn't been for the emperor's imperial edict, Zhang Heling would have stayed asleep. No one in the house would have dared to disturb the meeting between the Marquis and Duke Zhou.
The imperial edict came from the Leopard Room. When Zhang Heling received the imperial edict, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He wanted to ask the person who announced the edict, but the person who announced the edict was not the father-in-law in the palace, but the Jin Yiwei who didn't have a smile on his face. He looked like that, but
He had no intention of currying favor with the Marquis, so naturally he couldn't ask any questions.
After receiving the imperial edict, he hurried out, guessing all the way as to why Zhu Houzhao, who had not taken the initiative to summon him for two years, suddenly summoned him. His intuition told him that it would definitely not be a good thing. If this person did
If you feel guilty, you will feel sorry for anything that happens.
He couldn't help but contact him about his regrets. Zhang Heling was not a scheming, talented and strategic person to begin with. He had been thinking about this matter in fear all the way, and even thinking about it, his back felt a little chilly.
This is the rhythm that gets more and more scary the more you think about it!
When he left the Hou's Mansion, before the people in the Hou's Mansion could react, people from the Hou's Mansion rushed in, a group of guys who could dress up as well as the Jin Yiwei who just announced the decree. It seemed that they had been waiting here for a long time, just waiting for this.
When the master of the house went out, they took advantage of the situation and came in.
Someone went up to inquire, and their attitude was very arrogant. However, the attitude of those Jin Yiwei could be called arrogance. After a few words, the Jin Yiwei who led the team slapped the guy who came forward to inquire.
Gone to the side.
"Of course I know this is the Hou's Mansion. If it's not the Hou's Mansion, why don't I come in? How dare a servant who doesn't know the heights of the world dare to stop the Emperor's troops from searching for imperial prisoners?"
Some of the generals were not convinced, and drew out their weapons with clang clang clang. The opponent only had about a hundred people, and they were not allowed to run wild in the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis raised them, wasn't it just to cope with the situation in front of him?
They drew their weapons, and the guards in imperial robes were naturally not to be outdone. For a moment, there was a flash of swords and swords in Shouning Hou's vestibule.
The light of the sword and the shadow of the sword refers to the light reflected by the sun on the weapons. It does not mean that they are fighting. They are not fighting at all. Just when both sides are pulling out their weapons, the sound of neat footsteps outside the Hou Mansion can be heard from a distance.
As he came closer, there was the sound of iron tools clashing with armor. Hearing the sound, he could tell how many people were coming outside.
Pairs of soldiers rushed in from outside the door, some holding guns, some holding bows and crossbows, and some even holding blunderbuss half as long as a man. Each one looked like a formidable enemy, pointing their weapons at the unconvinced Hou Mansion.
After guarding the generals, it only took a few seconds for the soldiers who rushed in to crowd the vestibule of the Marquis' Mansion.
At this time, people who are afraid that their brains are not enough can also see that these Jin Yiwei are not just threatening them with empty words. With this posture, as long as they dare to take action, they are really afraid of killing them.
The leading Jin Yiwei looked at this group of guys who were at a loss and spat contemptuously on the ground: "A bunch of chickens and dogs, go in and search for people!"
"Sir, the inner courtyard is the residence of the Hou family members..."
A guy who looked like the leader of the guard stood up and reminded the Jin Yiwei in front of him that this group of people came in aggressively and stole anything. Naturally, the Marquis would come to settle the score with them. However, if they frightened the Marquis,
Family members, that would be their dereliction of duty.
"Who knows where the imperial prisoner is hiding, but someone saw the imperial prisoner escaping into the Marquis' Mansion, or can you guarantee with your head that the imperial prisoner is not hiding in the inner courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion?"
The leading Jin Yiwei stood still, looked at the guard, and snorted. He didn't dare to answer when he saw the other guard, and with a look of disdain in his eyes, he turned around and continued to follow the soldiers who had already entered in front.
Go.
"May I ask which lord of the Zhenfu Division you are?" The guard held back his anger: "When the Marquis comes back, we can also give him an explanation!"
Afraid that the Jin Yiwei would no longer pay attention to him, he shouted at the figure walking towards the back: "If you are afraid, sir, it doesn't matter if you don't say anything. This capital is so big, we will know what we should know!"
This time, the Jin Yiwei didn't even stop and said something directly in the wind: "Jin Yiwei Nanya Qian Ning, your Marquis must be no stranger to me, hehe!"
Yes, Qian Ning was leading the team. He woke up from his drowsiness early in the morning. At that time, the news that Qian Wubing came back from the leopard room had just reached Mu Tianqiu. He was gnashing his teeth to express himself.
The desire to lead the team in person. His injuries are no longer serious. After taking out the crossbow arrows, apart from the inflexibility of his arms, it is just a problem of excessive blood loss. Therefore, although he looks a little pale at the moment, he is in good spirits.
But it's very good.
Yan Jiu had already led the people and ran toward Pi Xiaoyan's yard in a well-familiar way. Along the way, he scared many frightened little maids of the Hou Mansion. However, at this time, Yan Jiu couldn't care less.
There are so many, if someone tipped off the information and the little prince was transferred away by them, then the result would be in vain.
The group of people ran to the courtyard door, almost without stopping, Yan Jiu kicked open the courtyard door, rushed into the house, glanced around the house a few times, and then walked out with a gloomy face.
Damn it, it's not fast enough. Someone tipped off the news.
Qian Ning arrived shortly, and when he saw Yan Jiu like this, he immediately understood.
"It doesn't matter, our people outside have surrounded this place. Even if they run away, they can't get out. They must still be in the Marquis' Mansion. Even if they dig three feet into the ground, they still have to find that person!"
Yan Jiu nodded, led the people, and began to search from room to room. At this time, everyone in the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion was ordered to return to the house. There were Jinyi guards shouting everywhere, "Jinyi guards are searching for imperial prisoners."
, everyone returns to the house, if anyone stays outside, they will be regarded as invading the same party!"
Without digging three feet into the ground or using a stick of incense, Yan Jiu found the nanny he had seen last night and the chubby little guy sleeping soundly next to her. He even personally checked on the little guy last night.
The traces left on his arms after taking blood by himself confirmed that he had found the person he was looking for.
"take away!"
Naturally, the Jin Yiwei had to take away the wet nurse and the child. During this period, a little chaos occurred. The young woman was obviously not as afraid of the Jin Yiwei as the guards outside, and she frantically wanted to pounce on the child and snatch the child back.
Jin Yiwei responded to this
A gorgeously dressed woman is a little restrained. It is one thing to rush into the Marquis's mansion to search for the imperial prisoner, but it is another thing to be rude to the Marquis's family. Even Yan Jiu is not easy to treat.
I don’t know who from Hou Ninghou did this!
In the end, it was Qian Ning who took action. He struck the woman with a knife on the back of her neck, causing her to faint. Qian Ning did not have such taboos. The Marquis of Shouning even wanted to kill him, so he beat her.
What does a woman mean? In Qian Ning's heart, he had long identified Shouning Hou as the main messenger who attacked him.
