Jingmen Fengyue

Chapter 1097: Yunlan Zicao (1)
The officials walked out of the palace gate, but did not leave immediately, but gathered outside the palace gate, with sad faces.

Prime Minister Zuo approached Prince Ying and asked him in a low voice, "My lord, is the little lord really not in the mansion?"

The Prince of England glanced at the Prime Minister on the right, then shook his head, "It is true that he is not in the mansion."

"Even you don't know where he went?" the Prime Minister asked again.

Prince Ying shook his head, "Girl Hua left, and the imperial decree of divorce was announced to the world. He was hit hard. At this time, I can't guarantee that he still thinks about the Southern Qin Jiangshan Sheji in his heart. I don't know how to leave the mansion to find Hua Girl, what are you going to do?"

Hearing the words, the right minister sighed, "Now that the crown prince is infected with the plague, and Lin'an City is in danger, looking at Nan Qin, the only person who can save the crown prince and Lin'an from the fire and water is the little prince Zheng. If he doesn't take action, the Nan Qin Qin is really in danger."

Prince Ying's complexion was extremely bad, "You can't put all the burden on him alone, every mansion also has its own sons with both talents. Is there a letter from your boy? He is both civil and military, not inferior to Qin Zheng. "

The right minister shook his head, "He hasn't sent a letter yet, and I don't even know where he is now."

"Among the juniors in the Southern Qin capital, apart from the Crown Prince, Qin Zheng, Xiehou Ye from Zhongyonghou's Mansion, and your boy, who else can come out to deal with emergencies." Prince Ying was deeply worried. A new generation replaces the old ones. When Nanqin had no accidents, he felt that all the younger generations were outstanding, competing for excellence. Now that something happened, they couldn’t find any of them.”

"Among the juniors in the Southern Qin capital, there are indeed many talented people. But now there are few who can make an emergency. The crown prince and Lord Xie are trapped in Lin'an City. The little prince Zheng and my boy are missing. Yongkang Hou Mansion Yanting of Xie’s Yanting has no news so far. He has left since New Year’s Eve and has never returned. Xie Yunlan of Xie’s Rice Grain has disappeared after an accident in Liyun Nunnery. Xie Yunji of Xie’s Salt Store is said to have disappeared. I haven't seen anyone for a long time, and Xie Linxi, the eldest son of the Xie family, and Zhongyonghou, and General Wuwei have secretly left to escape the world and travel." The right minister counted them one by one, "The two young masters who supervise the Royal History Mansion and the Hanlin University University Mansion are studying here. The most important thing is martial arts, and it won't be effective at this time, it would be good to just help the Eighth Prince stabilize the court situation. After all, the Eighth Prince is young and needs to be sharpened for a few years. None of the other princes can use it."

The Prince of England sighed deeply, "There has always been a saying in the market in Nanqin that half of the essence of Nanqin comes from the Xie family. This statement is true. Xie's rough calculation, the younger generation There are plenty of people who can be called up.”

"It's just a pity that the emperor has been guarding against Xie's desire to get rid of him for so many years. The Zhongyonghou Mansion retreated again and again. A while ago, many cases in and outside Beijing were aimed at Xie's. Most likely, it was because of cold feelings and cold heart that he completely escaped from the world and left at this time. When he left, a big thing happened, and Mrs. Xie didn't care about it. Mrs. Xie didn't have the support of the Zhongyonghou Mansion. People only try their best to protect themselves. At this time, who will come forward to save Nanqin from the crisis?" Right Prime Minister said.

Prince Ying suddenly said, "What you said reminded me. Although it is said that the whole world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are the subjects of the king. But for the Xie family, the big family is like a crouching dragon, circling in this area. The land has gone through several dynasties and generations, and it has its own foundation. Even if the person behind it has the power to control the entire Nanqin drugstores and drug dealers, it will be difficult to search for Xie's family, right?"

The right minister suddenly said, "My lord, you mean that the Xie family must have black comfrey?"

Prince Ying nodded, "That's exactly what this king means. You don't need to tell me how deep the Xie family's root system is. You don't have it in the open, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist in the dark."

The right minister speculated, "But now the Zhongyonghou's mansion has been emptied, and the other Xie clans have already been divided into clans and clans. I'm afraid..."

"Why don't you and I go to Xie's Rice Grain and Xie's Salt Store to have a look first. Although the Zhongyonghou Mansion is empty, these people are still there, and the people from Xie's sixth room are still there. Not a member of the Xie clan, but a citizen of Southern Qin." Prince Ying said.

"My lord is right!" Prime Minister on the right nodded.

The two discussed and prepared to leave.

"My lord, Prime Minister Right, are you two going back to your residence or where are you going?" Prime Minister Left walked over.

The Prime Minister on the right glanced at Prince Ying and said, "My lord and I are planning to go to Xie's Rice Grain and Xie's Salt Storage. Maybe there is black comfrey."

Prime Minister Zuo patted his thigh, "That's right, Mrs. Xie. May I go with you too?"

Prime Minister on the right smiled and said, "I know that Prime Minister Zuo is most worried about the prince, so it's natural to go together."

"I'll go with you too!" Marquis Yongkang also stepped forward, "Maybe I can be of some help."

The Prince of England nodded.

A group of four walked towards Mrs. Xie.

After the four left, the courtiers looked at each other, gathered at the gate of the palace to talk for a while, and dispersed in groups of twos and threes.

Half an hour later, the four of them arrived at Xie's Rice Grain.

The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment when he saw that the four nobles from the court had come to Xie's rice grains in unison, and hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"My lord and four others came to see your Patriarch." Prince Ying said, "You go to Tong Bing."

The gatekeeper hurriedly said, "Go back to your lord, the head of my family is not in the mansion."

Prince Ying was taken aback, "Where did your Patriarch go?"

"I went to find my son." The gatekeeper grimaced, "Ever since my son went to Liyun Nunnery with Miss Fanghua, something happened, and he never came back without a trace. The owner was worried and took people out I found it. It has been many days, and there is still no news."

The Prince of England looked left and right.

Zuo Xiang stepped forward quickly, "Who is in this mansion right now?"

"After the Patriarch left, Madam went to the temple to stay, eat, eat, chant Buddha, and pray for the Patriarch and the Young Master. All capable people in the mansion were taken away by the Patriarch to find the Young Master. Except for a few old slaves and villains guarding the door, there is nothing in the mansion right now. People." The gatekeeper said.

The left minister was also speechless for a while, and looked to the right minister.

The Prime Minister on the right sighed, "Mr. Yunlan is the pillar of Xie's Rice Grain. If something happened to him, it is understandable that he alarmed Xie's Rice Grain to look for it. Since there is no one in the mansion, there is no need to go in. Let's go Xie’s salt warehouse.”

Prime Minister Zuo nodded.

A group of people left Xie's Rice Grain and went to Xie's Salt Store.

Not long after, they came to the door of Xie's salt storehouse, and saw a big lock on the door of Xie's salt storehouse.

The Prince of England, the Chancellor of the Left and the Right, and the Marquis of Yongkang face each other face to face.

Prime Minister Zuo stepped forward and knocked on the door anxiously, "Is anyone there?"

The door latch rattled for a long time, and the lock knob shook several times, but no one answered, not even a gatekeeper.

"Okay, don't shake it anymore, weeds are growing around here, it looks like this door has been closed for more than a month." Prince Ying said.

Prime Minister Zuo was in a hurry, "My lord, can I not be in a hurry? The crown prince is in danger, where are... the people from Xie's salt warehouse?"
