The military attache arrived quickly. He was dressed like the others, with his mouth and nose covered, only the upper half of his face exposed.
Qiao Yuyan recognized him at a glance as the one she had met yesterday, and immediately saluted him and explained the reason.
The military attache was hesitant when he heard this, and Qiao Yuyan said: "This matter is indeed a bit difficult for the general, but the old lady is old after all, and the officials did not say that they would prosecute us, but there have been too many things recently. Let's check it out.
That’s all.
Three generations of my family are loyal and can definitely withstand investigation. When this period of time passes, the matter will be over, but we old ladies can't afford to wait. If something unexpected happens, it will hurt... our feelings."
The Wen family did not have any affection for this military attache. This so-called affection actually refers to the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.
Anyone who is not stupid can hear these words, and the deputy general on the side also hurriedly helped, "Master Wu, what this lady said is true! If something happens later, I'm afraid we are also responsible."
Mr. Wu originally had some relationship with the Qiao family. When he heard the people below him saying the same thing, he naturally stopped insisting, "Mrs. Six, I'm sorry, it's my duty and it has to be like this. In this case, I would like to ask you all to wait for the weather."
It should be dark so that people can be asked to go out, otherwise, if it falls into the eyes of someone with bad intentions, something bad may happen."
This was originally Qiao Yuyan's plan. Seeing that the other party agreed, she was naturally grateful.
Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the front.
The military attache named Wu immediately frowned and directly ordered one of his men to step forward, "Go and see what's going on!"
But before the soldier had even taken two steps, he turned back. Qiao Yuyan looked around and saw a group of people coming from a dark place not far away.
Qiao Yuyan and the maid named Fangzhu in front of Wen immediately stepped aside. She looked around, then took the other girl and hid behind a large water tank in the yard.
There were also a few servants in the back room who poked their heads out, but no one dared to make a sound.
"This is... the last general has seen Commander Zhao!"
Qiao Yuyan thought for a moment, but there was no such person in her mind, so she continued to listen carefully.
I heard the military attaché surnamed Wu then ask: "I don't know if the commander came here suddenly, but what's the important matter?"
"There is an order from above. The Wen family is involved in the collapse of the Sutra Pavilion of the Daxiangguo Temple. It is a matter of great importance and needs to be treated with caution. From now on, I will be responsible for the detention of the Wen family. You can report back to your own yamen.
Gone."
The man who spoke was probably Commander Zhao, and the arrogance and pride in his voice were undisguised.
The military attache named Wu hesitated, "This..."
"Take a closer look and see what kind of seal is on this head!" Commander Zhao probably took out something, and the military attaché surnamed Wu immediately agreed, and then reported the current situation to the other party.
Qiao Yuyan took Fangzhu and walked back to the inner courtyard. Once inside, she did not go to her own room, but hurried to Princess Jiahe's room.
Wen was worried about the old lady's health and kept staring at the door of the inner courtyard. When she saw Qiao Yuyan coming back, she went over to greet her, "Sixth brother and sister, how are you?"
There is no way to hide this from anyone in this courtyard. When Qiao Yuyan went to the outer courtyard, many people watched. Now they saw her coming back in a hurry, and most of them paid close attention.
Qiao Yuyan didn't care about anything else. When she entered the room, she saw Jiahe sitting in front of the window with a book in hand and reading. Wen Liang was not in the room.
Seeing her coming, Jiahe put down the book in his hand and raised his eyebrows at her, "What's going on in such a hurry? Aunt Six doesn't really like to come into my house."
"In the princess's impression, is there such a number one person as Commander Zhao?"
Jiahe frowned when he heard this, "Commander Zhao, the avant-garde of the government army? Where did you hear his name?"
When Qiao Yuyan saw this, her heart went cold, "Is it an enemy or a friend?"
Jiahe's face also became ugly, "He is the cousin of Lao Qi. At first, in order to show off to Lao Qi, he offended my fifth emperor brother. Later, when his eldest son accompanied his father on a trip,
, dead.”
The word "dead" is said lightly, but it was mentioned earlier that the other party had a grudge against the fifth prince, doesn't it mean that this death is unusual?
It’s actually a mortal enemy!
Now the fifth prince is gone, but Concubine Xian and Princess Jiahe are still there...
Jiahe couldn't help but stood up when he saw Qiao Yuyan's face, "Where did you see that?"
"It's right at the door. Now our house is taken over by him."
"What?!" Jiahe was also surprised, "This person has very little tolerance and is determined to retaliate. It's just that he didn't dare to take action when my Fifth Emperor brother was still in power! Now..."
Qiao Yuyan didn't have time to listen to her detail about her past grudges, so she walked out without even sitting down.
Just then Wen Shi came over, "What did you say when you asked? Can you invite a doctor to come in for us?"
Qiao Yuyan did not listen to her answer, but took her to go to Mrs. Wen's room, "Where is the eldest lady?"
Seeing her hurried expression, Mrs. Wen knew that something was probably important, so she didn't ask any more questions and followed her footsteps and hurried away, "She should be there. If there wasn't something important going on now, she would stay there."
She was walking in such a hurry, which naturally attracted the attention of other people. Everyone followed her to the old lady's house, and when she reached the eaves, Mrs. Wen came out to greet her.
Seeing such a huge battle, Mrs. Wen couldn't help but show a bit of displeasure on her face, "The old lady is sick. Sixth brother and sister, even if you are young, you should know something. What are you going to do with such a huge momentum?"
She couldn't see how Qiao Yuyan got along well with other people, let alone how she seemed to be very authoritative with a large group of people.
Qiao Yuyan ignored her bad attitude and explained her purpose directly, "The guards outside have changed. The new commander of the imperial army's vanguard has a life-or-death affair with Princess Jiahe. I'm afraid it will be detrimental to us."
As soon as she said this, everyone else looked horrified, "Ah? Then... what should we do? Aren't we just fish to be slaughtered now?"
Seeing that everyone was panicking because of her words, Mrs. Wen frowned even more, "I have never heard of this Commander Zhao. I don't think we have any grudges against him when he comes to our house. Even if he had any dissatisfaction with the princess in the past."
, they shouldn’t do anything to us, right?”
Qiao Yuyan's eyes widened, and she couldn't imagine that Mrs. Wen had such an attitude, "But now there are only a group of old and weak women and children here, and they are all crowded into such a small place with little food and clothing. As long as they use some tricks, we
Life will be hard for you!"
Seeing her deflated look, Mrs. Wen felt a little proud, but at the same time she looked down on her careless appearance, "What do you know! Our master is the chief minister, and the second master is also the governor of a state. He is a little
Do our commanders really dare to do anything to us?
It’s not me who said that, Sixth Brother and Sister, you are too young and have not experienced anything before, so you put our retreat here early. This is already asking for trouble. Now stop being so alarmist.
There is no need to make everyone uneasy together."
