After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 213 Sleepless Night

Midday on the moon.

Huo Xi took Huo Shufan away from the Duke of Yan's mansion.

Standing in front of the tall vermilion gate of Duke Yan's mansion, Huo Xi turned his head to look around, the smile on his face became more and more intense, and there was a gleam of envy in his eyes:

"This is the real high door!"

"Stylish and majestic, even the servants of the mansion behave well!"

"After you get married with the sixth princess, you can come in and out of such a tall door at will!"

"With the support and promise of Lord Yan, our Huo family...although we won't be able to become such a noble family for the time being, we will soon become a famous family in Ningguo!"

Tonight, Duke Yan hosted a banquet for their grandfather and grandson.

The attitude is not very friendly, but it is not indifferent.

This is already a great honor for Huo's grandfather and grandson who came from Guangling City.

Because it was something they had never thought of before sitting with someone of this status.

During the banquet, Duke Yan asked mostly about Guangling City.

More questions about Li Chenan were asked.

Huo Xi naturally has his own opinion on this. He has heard Huo Shufan talk about the conflict between Yan Zifu and Li Chen'an. The intention of Yan Guogong's move is of course to know more about Li Chen'an. After that, it must be easy. Li Chenan strangled to death!
The grandfather and grandson walked towards the carriage.

Huo Xi said again: "Duke Yan said that he would give the plum garden to you as the residence of the son-in-law..."

He stepped into the carriage, Huo Shufan followed, and the two sat in the carriage. He said again: "The arrangement of the plum garden, this matter can no longer be costly to Duke Yan."

"Our Huo family's foundation is still shallow. If you want to gain a firm foothold in the capital, even if you marry the sixth princess, you still need to establish a good relationship with Duke Yan's mansion, so tomorrow you will send 3 taels of silver notes to Duke Yan Come here... Our Huo family only has a little more money. "

"This is a man, the most important thing is self-knowledge!"

"The Duke of Yan's mansion sent out the plum garden grandly, we have to show something, we can't let Duke Yan underestimate our Huo family."

The carriage headed towards the Huo Mansion in Kyoto.

Huo Shufan listened carefully to his grandfather's instructions, answered them one by one, and finally asked:
"Grandpa, little sister, it seems that my little sister is still interested in Li Chen'an, is there any way to make my little sister happy with this matter?"

Horch shook his head without hesitation as he stroked his long beard:
"no!"

"Grandpa was deceived by Li Chen'an before and almost made a big mistake... After all, he can't do things well after all. Li Chen'an thinks that he has the Dingguohou's mansion as the backing, so he dares to act recklessly... This is the capital!"

"He has already offended Prime Minister Shang, and now he has offended Duke Yan. Although the Dingguohou's Mansion is powerful, it has not yet reached the level where it can rival the Prime Minister's and Yanguo's mansions at the same time... If Grandpa is from the Dingguohou's Mansion Patriarch, under the current situation, you should decisively draw a clear line with Li Chenan and sever ties, otherwise, I am afraid that Dingguohoufu will also be implicated by that kid and fall into a situation beyond redemption!"

"After going back, grandpa will talk to Shuyi in a good way, her idea is too dangerous!"

"When the grandson understands, he will also persuade his sister."

"Well, the affairs of this daughter's family are all trivial matters. Tomorrow, I remember that there is another big event... I will go to Honglu Temple with my grandfather to learn from Old Master Wei!"

……

……

Huo Mansion in Kyoto is located on the west side of the eighth bridge in the middle reaches of the Yudai River. This street is called Shijing Alley, not far from Jingzhao Mansion. It is considered a prosperous place in Yujing City.

Because it is relatively close to Jingzhao Mansion, this place is safe, even the ruffians in Yujing City dare not play wild around here, after all, the knife in the hands of the current Jingzhao Mansion Governor Xiangdong Xiang can really kill people.

But tonight there seemed to be an accident.

Xiangdong, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, always sleeps late.

He was reading a book by a lantern in the backyard of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

At this moment, a person suddenly rushed into the backyard.

Looking eastward, the person who came was Luo Dong'an, the young master of the Jingzhao Mansion, the sixth young master of the Duke Luo's mansion in the capital.

Luo Dong'an hurriedly came to Xiang Dong, bowed his hands and said with a very serious expression: "Master Xiang, Marquis Wu Chen just came to report that the Huo Mansion in Shijing Alley was robbed by bandits!"

Xiang Dong frowned, and put down the book in his hand: "Have you caught it?"

"Master, no!"

"Why?"

"Chen Gang said that there were twelve bandits, but they all rode horses, covered their faces and carried knives... They are very skilled in martial arts. All fifteen arresters from Wuhoupu were dispatched, but they easily knocked them down!"

Stroking his short beard to the east, Jing would say that peace is not in fact, but under his own suppression these years, bandits and people from the rivers and lakes seldom make trouble in Kyoto anymore.

But tonight, such a case happened...

"How many Huo family members died?"

"Return to your lord, no one is dead, but was tied up by the bandits. The lower official has ordered the police to go and ask for details."

"Um……"

Xiang Dong stood up and looked at the bright moon in the sky. Since there were as many as twelve bandits in this group, and they were all riding horses with knives, the city gate was closed now, they must have escaped.

He was suddenly startled... Could it be the private soldier of a certain family in the city?
It's just that the status of the aristocratic family that can own private soldiers is very high, and the family should not be short of money. Why did they send people to the Huo Mansion to rob?
Recently, I heard that Huo Baiyang's son was favored by the sixth princess. I'm afraid he will soon become the sixth princess' son-in-law... This case happened at this time. Could it be that a certain family is dissatisfied with it?
Not right either!
If you are dissatisfied, you will kill people instead of doing this robbery.

It's an eventful time in Kyoto at the moment, and you have to be careful when doing anything at this time.

"Go, go to Huo Mansion!"

Xiang Dong and Luo Dong'an brought a few policemen to the Huo Mansion. At this moment, Huo Xi's carriage had arrived at the gate of the Huo Mansion.

The grandfather and grandson got off the carriage but were suddenly startled, because the door of the Huo Mansion was wide open, and there were still two policemen with knives standing in front of the door.

Horch walked over in surprise, but was stopped by the catcher:

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Old man, master here!"

The two officers looked at each other, and the older officer looked at Horch with a little sympathy in his eyes. At this moment, Horch asked again:
"Master, what... what's going on?"

"Go in, your house has been robbed."

Huo Xi was stunned, his face suddenly changed suddenly, he didn't even care about Huo Shufan, he ran inside suddenly.

When he came to the main courtyard, he saw his housekeeper and knew what had happened, he rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground with a "bang...!".

And this moment.

Headquarters of Lijing Division.

The fourth princess Ning Chuchu looked at the hill-like pile of gold and silver in front of her, as well as the silver notes scattered on it, her eyes went straight!
"Chen An really didn't lie to me!"

"The fastest way to get money... really is robbery!"

"Kaiyang,"

"Subordinates are here!"

"Send someone to do an inventory, don't let the slightest bit of information leak out about this matter, and then... find out who else is suitable for robbery in this capital!"

Kai Yang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and suddenly found that His Highness had changed!

Is this really good?
If the matter is revealed and Ji Tai takes advantage of it, it may be extremely detrimental to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
"Your Highness, why don't we wait until the news of this time has passed?"

"...That makes sense, I'll go back first, and tell me how much money I got tomorrow!"

"it is good!"

Ning Chuchu happily returned to her princess mansion with the kite, and after hearing the maid's report, she knew that Zhongli Ruoshui had been here at night, and invited her to Huaxi Bieyuan tomorrow.

She took off the scarf, and muttered: "Could it be that this little girl knew about Ben Gong and went to meet Li Chen'an? This is to ask Ben Gong for clarification?"
