The welcoming sedan finally arrived at the Meridian Gate and picked up the bride. Liu Chengfeng was led stupidly by an etiquette officer from the Ministry of Etiquette and followed his instructions step by step.
In the words of the Ministry of Rites, this time a princess got married, which was unprecedented. First, the court granted the marriage, the princess was promoted to a princess, and the time was short. All the wedding etiquette was actually re-drawn by the Ministry of Rites, and Liu Cheng
All Feng has to do is follow the instructions of the Ministry of Rites.
However, this guy really made the ceremony official very unhappy. You just do whatever you are told, but you still have to play tricks. How can you wear a sword when you welcome the bride? But the prince-in-law said that it was a sword given by the emperor to show his identity.
let his gauze hat
A piece of golden pheasant feather was inserted on the head. The prince-in-law made a show of his face and insisted that chicken feathers should not be inserted on the head. The ceremony officer repeatedly explained that this was a golden pheasant, a mascot and auspicious treasure. Liu Chengfeng then said, no matter what, it is still a chicken.
No matter what, I won't intervene.
You have no choice but to make do with it. After all, the person getting married belongs to someone else's family. You can't tie him up and do it according to your own rules.
After waiting outside the Meridian Gate for a while, a group of people came out of the palace. The bride came out on a horse and was surrounded by countless palace people. Then she got off the horse and changed to a sedan. Those who played, played, and sang
The musicians started to get excited, and all of a sudden, the gongs and drums were beating, and the wedding procession began to return.
In Liu Chengfeng's newly built Hou Mansion, a huge building covering an area of hundreds of acres, young men in new clothes were welcoming guests. Most of the people coming and going were ministers. A group of people were also outside the Hou Mansion.
The team of guards transferred from various pro-military guard posts surrounded the building three levels inside and three levels outside, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. Almost every guest had to issue an invitation when entering or leaving, and the accompanying retinues also had to be searched.
This was also for safety reasons, but no one had any complaints. After all, all the people coming in and out were dignitaries. Even His Royal Highness the Prince came early to drink tea and chat with Shouning Hou Jianchang in the small hall.
The rest of the officials were also divided into many small circles. The pro-army and pro-military people sat together, and the civil servants and civil servants gathered together. Everyone talked about their own things, and they were all waiting for the groom to pick up the bride.
Li Dongdong was already very busy at this time. Most of Liu Chengfeng's confidants were busy, but he was the most leisurely. Now he has almost become the big manager of the Hou Mansion, and he can do everything.
It was inevitable to have him help out, to welcome people back and forth. With a smile on his face, his muscles would twitch. Sometimes when he was very busy, he wished he could leave.
He was preparing tea for His Royal Highness in the small hall when someone outside sang: "His Royal Highness is here."
Li Dongdong did not dare to neglect, and quickly went to the middle gate, only to see King Shang Gao walking in with seven or eight followers. Zhu Chenhao also steeled himself at this time and said congratulations, and Li Dongdong had to bite the bullet and greet him.
Zhu Chenhao didn't seem to want to entangle any more, and just said: "Hasn't the consort brought the princess here yet?"
Li Dongdong said: "I'm afraid it will be soon."
Just as he was talking, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard faintly outside. Li Dongdong perked up and said, "Here we come..."
The entire Hou Mansion became even more noisy, and even the princes and nobles sitting in the small hall could not bear the loneliness at this time and came out to watch one after another.

A lot of people suddenly appeared in Chenjia Warehouse. These people were all dressed as porters and were led by a person who looked like a countinghouse. There were as many as a hundred people. They went straight into the warehouse. All of a sudden, all the spies around them were paying attention.
When the child reached his throat, even Xiao Jing, who was sitting in the tea shop opposite, couldn't help but perk up his energy. He stared at the warehouse with his eyes, holding the teacup in his hand, weighing something.
"Father, there is something going on in the warehouse."
"Wait and see." Xiao Jing said calmly.
It's just that the fans of Dongchang were waiting, but the Jinyiwei couldn't bear it any longer. The nearby Jinyiwei were all led by Chen Hongyu, and Chen Hongyu's people were also nearby. At this time, they saw many people entering the warehouse. For fear of something happening, they immediately
He shouted: "Get someone!"
As soon as he gave the order, there was the sound of bangs. Immediately afterwards, countless people swarmed out from various tea shops, private houses, and street corners, and surrounded the inn. Many people raised their knives, scaring passers-by on the street.
Yelling and making a mess.
When Xiao Jing saw this, he couldn't help but curse angrily: "Jin Yiwei is going to do something bad!" But now that Jin Yiwei had moved, he had to react. He threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground and shouted: "
Get someone!”
Countless fans appeared on the street again, and there were thousands of factory guards, all carrying swords and rushing towards the Chenjia Warehouse.
Xiao Jing took dozens of fans and quickly went downstairs, and then walked towards the warehouse. A large number of people had already surrounded the place, and many fans and captains had already rushed in. Xiao Jing arrived
At that time, Chen Hongyu happened to arrive, and Xiao Jing looked at him coldly.
He glanced at Chen Hongyu and said nothing. However, facing the Dongchang factory owner, Chen Hongyu was not as calm as Liu Chengfeng. He suddenly felt a bit pressured and said loudly: "Follow me in." He was like this.
In a word, it is a way to cover up one's guilty conscience.
Xiao Jing also said calmly: "Let's go in and take a look."
A group of people rumbled in, and the spacious warehouse was filled with people kneeling. These porters hardly resisted at all. They knelt on the ground one by one, begging for mercy, and one person who looked like a steward even cried.
: "You guys have been wronged. Please tell me this. I just brought people to pick up the goods under the orders of my boss."
Xiao Jing had already had bad thoughts, and when Chen Hongyu saw the mountains of goods inside, he shouted: "Search!"
Many captains rushed over, lifted out the boxes of goods, and used knives to pry open the sealed goods. There were no swords or firecrackers in the boxes, only porcelain covered with straw... The others went to pry the boxes one after another, and almost everyone
This is true for all cargo boxes.
At this moment, everyone was stunned. Chen Hongyu couldn't help but said: "Eunuch Xiao, didn't you say that there are weapons and equipment hidden here?"
Xiao Jing's face turned cold, and he ignored Chen Hongyu. Instead, he looked for the steward who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "When did you rent this warehouse?"
The timid steward said in a daze: "It was rented a few days ago. Our boss made a deal with a merchant from Jiangxi. He directly paid for a whole warehouse of porcelain. My boss plans to sell this batch of goods to Liaodong.
After the new year
Before leaving, unexpectedly, yesterday a merchant said that he was in urgent need of a batch of high-quality Jingdezhen celadon and was willing to buy it at a high price. He also said that he wanted us to transport the goods to Beitongzhou. The deposit had already been paid, so the master quickly called the villain to pick up the goods.
Who knows...who knows..."
Xiao Jing took a deep breath, and then said in a cold voice: "Come here, search this warehouse again, there must be something fishy."
There were hundreds of fans, and the captain couldn't care less at this time, and they all started to search. After a while, someone shouted: "Look, there is a tunnel here."
Xiao Jing hurried over and saw that a tunnel had been dug here. He said with a cold face: "Send someone to go and see where the tunnel goes."
A fan jumped down, and after a while he came back and reported: "Father, the tunnel has been sealed."
Xiao Jing said: "Since we are digging a tunnel, I'm afraid we won't be able to dig very far in a hurry. The next exit of this tunnel must be nearby. If someone comes, search the nearby warehouse and dig three feet into the ground to find it."
." He gave the order, and a group of people rushed to obey the order, but the captains
But he didn't move. Xiao Jing said to Chen Hongyu seriously: "Chen Qianhu, I'm afraid that even if we find the tunnel entrance, it will be too late. Maybe these gangsters have already taken out their weapons. You and your people should immediately strengthen the security of Yingchunfang."
, as a last resort, we have to ask the Beijing Guard to dispatch troops and generals."
Chen Hongyu had a gloomy face and immediately led the people out. This was not the time to shirk responsibility. If hundreds of rogue gangs suddenly made trouble in Yingchunfang and carried weapons, the consequences would be disastrous.
Xiao Jing stood in the warehouse, with a trace of confusion flashing across his eyes. He already understood that he had been tricked. It was true that the rebels transported all the weapons to Chenjia Warehouse, but they moved at an extremely fast speed.
A tunnel was dug, the weapons were taken out, and a batch of porcelain was brought in, and then the porcelain was resold. Yesterday, another person was sent to spend a lot of money.
Price purchase, the merchant who placed the goods was undoubtedly him, so naturally he called for someone to pick up the goods today. The rogue party's calculation was extremely sound at almost every step, attracting all the hands of the factory guards to Chenjia Warehouse
Here, after the person who picked up the goods entered the warehouse at the same time, he completely disrupted the deployment of the factory guards, allowing the manpower of the factory guards to emerge from the darkness.
"These gangsters are really easy to scheme." Xiao Jing couldn't help but curse in his heart, but the matter was urgent at this time, and he had a hunch that the gangster's next step would be more fierce, and almost all the factory guards were tied up by these gangsters.
Bull nose, passive everywhere.
"Eunuch..." A fan rushed over and reported to Xiao Jing breathlessly: "The nearby Chending Warehouse discovered the tunnel's exit, but the goods inside have been wiped out. It is said that an hour ago
, someone took away all the goods there."
Xiao Jing took a breath of air. These weapons have been sent out. Presumably at this time, somewhere in Yingchunfang, the rebels have already obtained the weapons, and something big is going to happen.
He immediately said: "Everyone listens to the order, all the manpower is scattered around Yingchunfang, be careful of the Jubao Tower, immediately pass the order of the Za family, ask the Beijing Guard to mobilize troops for support!"
