Chapter 167 The Cui Family ([-])

Two days later.

Yan Wang and his party entered Pingjiang Mansion by boat.

The officials of Pingjiang Mansion, big and small, had already got the news, and they were all waiting at the pier in fear and trepidation.The leading official is over fifty years old, with a beautiful beard, elegant and elegant.

At this moment, the beautiful beard trembled in the wind, revealing confusion and desolation for no reason.

"Mazhifu," an official said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness King Yan was assassinated on the way, and his personal guards were seriously injured. His Royal Highness King Yan did not return to Beijing, but still came to Pingjiang Mansion. His Royal Highness Yan's temper can be seen."

is not that right?

Ma Zhifu was more terrified than everyone else.As the parent official of the Pingjiang Mansion, a massacre happened under his rule, which alarmed the emperor and sent King Yan to investigate the case.As a result, King Yan met a group of daring assassins on the way.

No matter what he thought, he was doomed.

It is considered light to drop the black hat, and I only hope to save my own life and the whole family.

The three boats came slowly and slowly arrived at the pier.

King Yan and his party got off the boat.

The magistrate Ma, who was suffering so much, forced himself to go forward, knelt down and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Yan." Ma Zhifu knelt, and a dozen officials behind him immediately knelt on the ground.

In the past two days, King Yan ate less, slept less, and was full of worries, his face was unavoidably gloomy, but his eyes were still sharp.

"Everyone, please." King Yan did not reach out to help the prefect Ma, his voice was cold: "This king is here to handle the case by order. When he needs to ask questions, he will summon him. For the rest of the time, you can each go about your own errands." .”

That is to say, how dare the officials of Pingjiang Mansion pretend that His Highness King Yan came to Pingjiang Mansion personally?
After some greetings, Ma Zhifu respectfully asked His Royal Highness King Yan to go to the prefect's yamen to settle down first.

This is also official practice.

His Royal Highness Yan Wang said: "I can go and settle down myself."

Ma Zhifu was taken aback, and wanted to ask His Highness where to settle down, but he didn't have the guts, so he obediently agreed.When His Royal Highness King Yan and his party set off to leave, Ma Zhifu immediately sent someone to follow secretly to inquire.

In less than an hour, the people sent out came back.

His Royal Highness King Yan actually went to Cui's house to settle down.

Pingjiang Mansion is prosperous and prosperous, rich merchants abound.The Cui family is also the top among the rich businessmen.Such rich merchants and merchants have always been a good place for officials to eat, drink and get what they need.

However, the Cui family had a third-rank servant's in-law, who blocked a lot.

I really didn't expect that the Cui family even clings to His Royal Highness King Yan.

Even Ma Zhifu was amazed by this kind of ability.

"Master Zhifu, the little one will continue to stare at the Cui family, and report back immediately if there is any movement."

Ma Zhifu came back to his senses, and repeatedly warned: "Don't disturb the Cui family rashly, and don't let His Highness notice."

In the capital, four entrances are already big houses.

When they arrived at Pingjiang Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, the rich merchants lived in carefully constructed large gardens.The Cui family's garden, with its splendor and elegance, is quite famous in Pingjiang Mansion.

The accompanying doctor of the Ministry of Punishment and several officials were placed in Cui's house along with His Royal Highness King Yan, and they must sigh and sigh behind their backs.

"Look at you and me, in front of Beijing officials, the house we live in is not as good as a merchant's."

"I don't know what kind of ability this Cui family has, but they actually cling to His Highness King Yan."

"I heard that the Cui family and Feng Shilang's mansion are related by marriage. The third girl in Feng Shilang's mansion is the granddaughter of the old matriarch of the Cui family. She grew up in Cui's family since she was a child. Could it be that His Highness King Yan is looking at Feng Shilang's face, That’s why you’re praising the Cui family like this?”

"Forget it! Feng Shilang himself doesn't have this face in front of His Highness. Let alone an in-law."

"Why is that? It can't be because of Guard Shen, love the house and the crow, right?"

"It's quite possible. Guard Shen's father died to save His Highness. This time, Guard Shen blocked His Highness's sword and almost died. It is reasonable for His Highness to favor Guard Shen and benefit the Cui family. among."

Everyone said something in private, that's all.

Anyway, His Royal Highness King Yan wanted to live in Cui's house, and they couldn't tolerate their talkativeness, so they just lived with His Royal Highness.

……

"Fourth brother,"

In a courtyard in Cui Garden, Shen Jia's excited voice came out: "Do you know where this is?"

Unable to move, Shen You lay on the wooden board, was carried into the room, and carefully moved to the bed.During this period, the chest wound was inevitably involved.

Shen Youjun's face was pale and he didn't say a word, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Shen Jia is usually careless, but in the past two days she has learned to take care of others.He took out a dirty, smelly handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped it on Shen You's forehead indiscriminately, and stuffed it into the sleeve.

Shen You: "..."

Shen You endured silently.

Shen Jia continued to say excitedly: "This is the Cui family. I never expected that His Royal Highness King Yan actually lived in the Cui family's garden."

Cui family?Shaojun's cousin's natal family?

Surprise flashed in Shen You's eyes.

strange!
When did His Royal Highness the King of Yan have such friendship with the Cui family?
Is it because of Feng Shilang's face?No, His Royal Highness King Yan is an imposing prince, and there is no need to give Feng Shilang this face at all.Is it for his bodyguard?Thinking about it this way is too pretentious and ridiculous.

Among them, there must be hidden secrets that are unknown!
What's more, Xu Shi was captured by Princess Qin's people, and Cui Yuanhan disappeared.Who is managing and arranging so many people?
"Cousin Shaojun grew up in Cui's family." Shen Jia said happily: "You are Cousin Shaojun's fiancé-in-law, this time you live in Cui's house again, maybe you will see Cousin Shaojun soon Grandmother."

how can that be.

It is not yet known where Xu is hidden.

Shen You's eyes darkened for a moment, and his heart was inexplicably heavy.

Shen Jia babbled for a long time, but did not wait for Shen You's response. She glanced at Shen You's gloomy expression, and was startled: "Fourth brother, why is your face so ugly? Did the wound burst open?"

Severely injured people should avoid moving around.But today he was carried off the boat, into the carriage, and into the yard again, which was quite a toss.

Shen You didn't need to pretend, his face was pale: "No."

Shen Jia was so anxious that she couldn't hold back, she immediately got up and rushed out to call the imperial doctor.

His Royal Highness the King of Yan went out of Beijing, accompanied by two imperial physicians.One of them, Imperial Physician Liu, is good at treating trauma.Shen You was seriously injured in order to save King Yan, His Highness King Yan specially ordered Imperial Physician Liu to heal Shen You.

A while later, Imperial Physician Liu came, carefully examined Shen You's injury, and re-applied medicine to bandage it.

After tossing and tossing, Shen You broke out in a cold sweat again, extremely tired, and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Jia sat on the edge of the bed and watched, seeing his cousin's weak and powerless appearance, the circles of his eyes couldn't help turning red, and he wiped his eyes vigorously.

At this moment, footsteps sounded at the door.

Shen Jia turned her head to look, and hurriedly got up to salute: "I've seen Your Highness!"
