Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

262 Chapter 1 Ye Twelve Niangs ([-])

Guo Tuiguan's face was tense, and he forced his steps into the Jinning County Prince's Mansion. He found the general from the Privy Council and then went all the way back to the Jinning County Prince's Mansion. He didn't dare to reveal his whereabouts too hastily, he was about to catch fire inside, and he had to suppress his expression outside, which only made Guo Tuiguan's face so tense that it almost burst.

The servant led Guo Tuiguan into the outer study room, the fifth prince was sitting on the kang, and Mr. Guan had already stood up to welcome him out. Guo Tuiguan bowed to the fifth prince to salute, and when he turned slightly to greet Mr. Guan, he saw the squatting Hu San curled up in a ball at the corner of the kang.

"Do you have a letter?" The fifth prince asked straightforwardly, and Guo Tuiguan hurriedly nodded and replied: "I have a letter. Last night, the younger ones saw the fourth master leave Xinzheng Gate, and he didn't come in from Chenzhou Gate until early this morning. "Guo Tuiguan said while looking at the face of the fifth prince, and saw that there was no expression on his face, as if he hadn't heard it, Guo Tuiguan's heart sank, it seemed that the fifth prince had known this letter for a long time, Guo The official Tui hurriedly continued: "I found an excuse early this morning and went to Fourth Master's to see if I could find out something, but in the end I heard something useful." Official Guo Tui was not easy to notice He paused for a moment, seeing that the fifth prince watched him concentrate, and hurriedly continued: "When I was waiting outside, I heard two servants beside Fourth Master gossip in a low voice, and one servant complained about the tossing night yesterday. I didn’t sleep, and said that I might have to spend a whole night tonight.”

Hearing this, the fifth prince straightened up with a 'hoo', "Did you hear it clearly?" Mr. Guan's triangular eyes opened wider than ever, and he stared at Guo Tuiguan and asked urgently. Hu San also became energetic all of a sudden, staring at Guo Tuiguan with shining eyes, Guo Tuiguan hurriedly nodded and answered Mr. Guan's words: "It's really clear, just for this sentence, I came here in a hurry to look for it. Fifth Master, Fifth Master, there was no arrangement last night, so I have to keep an eye on this night no matter what, maybe..." Guo Tuiguan rubbed his hands and did not continue, only looking at the Fifth Prince with excited eyes.

The fifth prince clenched his fist tightly and then released it, looked at Guo Tuiguan and said in a deep voice: "You are old with errands, so I don't need to explain more, if you can find it..." The fifth prince paused: "I appreciate you This great kindness will be rewarded in the future!" Guo Tuiguan repeated 'dare not' repeatedly, and when the fifth prince finished speaking, he raised his head and said: "Don't dare to lie to the fifth prince, there are not enough manpower for the subordinate officials. "Guo Tuiguan bluntly stated his difficulties: "Si Ye must be vigilant when he leaves from Xinzheng Gate and enters from Chenzhou Gate. "The fifth prince frowned and did not answer, Mr. Guan coughed lightly and said: "Guo Tuiguan is a cautious person, this matter really requires the use of very reliable talents, Guo Tuiguan also understands this before going to the Fifth Lord Help here."

Officer Guo Tui nodded again and again, and looked at Guan Tong with some gratitude. Guan Tong twirled those mouse whiskers, and said with a dry smile: "If you think about it more, Mr. People follow, no matter how many people there are, it is not too much. Although Guo Tui came from a poor family, he has been an official for many years. If the official can find the whereabouts of our concubine, this kindness will be rewarded to our fifth master in the future." After hearing this, official Guo Tui understood that no matter how many people there are with the fifth master, they have to keep them for themselves. , If you want to employ people, you have to figure out your own way.

Guan Tong watched Guo Tuiguan leave and went out, and turned his head, the expression on his face changed from relaxed to worried: "Fifth Master, we have too few manpower, we can use even less, we have to find a way."

"How many people do you have on hand?" The fifth prince asked Hu San, who was huddled in the corner of the kang with his head slightly. 37, these 38 can be trusted and can be used." A layer of disappointment flashed across the face of the fifth prince, and with the ones in his hand, there are pitifully few people who can be used.

"Fifth Lord, these people are definitely not enough, we have to think of a way." Guan Tong urged again, the fifth prince bowed his head in silence for a while and said: "It's not that I don't want to think of a way, I've been too lazy these years, and I never thought that one day I would become a fool." Now, where can I find someone who I can trust and use?" I was speechless after what I said, and he was dizzy from anxiety.

"Just these people, let's make good arrangements. We don't ask them to keep up with a specific place, as long as they can draw a circle. With this circle, at best it will take a lot of stupid effort to search inch by inch!" Fifth Prince He slammed it heavily on the kang table and said bitterly, Guan Tong quickly nodded in agreement, Hu San lowered his eyes, his eyes didn't move his mind but turned around seventeen or eight times quickly, um, this is the best, if it's about inquiring about things, who He is also inferior to Hu San, if so, the possibility of finding the girl first is much greater.

As the evening approached, all the manpower was arranged, and the fifth prince sent some appetizers and a jar of wine in. Guan Tong heated a pot of wine on the red clay stove, and poured a glass for the fifth prince first. People sat down and drank slowly, and no one could fall asleep that night.

The first ray of light at dawn penetrated through the gap in the curtain that only light can find. The green branches and the silver birch leaned down from the kang like two monkeys, one on the left and the other on the right, carefully inspecting the incense sticks in front of the kang inch by inch. pink.But after a few glances, Yinhua exclaimed in a low voice, Qingzhi hurriedly probed over, two or three inches in front of the kang, two footprints were very clear.

Yin Hua panicked and almost fell headlong on the kang, Qing Zhi grabbed her, Yin Hua danced and struggled to get back on the kang, the two of them almost stretched out their hands to push Li Tian together.

Li Tian squatted in front of the kang with only socks on, carefully looked at the two footprints closest to the kang, squatted and moved to the next pair of footprints, and there were no more footprints outside, they only had two bottles of incense powder.Li Tian squatted and looked at it for a while, then stood up, stepped on the first footprint with one foot, stretched out the other foot to step on the second footprint, Yin Hua stood guard at the door and listened, Qing Zhi followed closely beside Li Tian , looking at Li Tian nervously, both hands kept clenching the skirt and then loosening it, loosening it and then clenching it tightly.

"Look, this step is very wide. It's a foot and a half wider than my normal walking, and the feet are also much bigger. When standing here, the two feet are very close to each other. The edges of this pair of footprints are very clear. It means that he has not moved since he stood up, or left after standing for a long time, this one footprint..." After the pair of footprints in front of the kang, there are two single footprints with the toes facing the kang, Li Tian tilted his head thinking After thinking for a while, he said: "He should have withdrawn. He came in like this, stood here for a long time, and then withdrew like this." Li Tian walked along the footprints on his toes, except for those who strode too far. Some are uncomfortable, but others are very smooth.

"Girl, who is it?" Qingzhi couldn't help asking, Li Tian wiped the ground with his feet, wiped it all the way to the kang and sat down, lifted his feet and let Qingzhi take off his socks, sighed and said: "Who else could it be?" Qing Zhi was startled, his face changed suddenly: "It's really..."

"Someone is here!" Before hearing the words, Yin Hua jumped back and warned, Qing Zhi swallowed back her words, and hurriedly waited for Li Tian to lie down. Heads filed in.

The morning sun shone into the palace of Dongyang County. Ye Twelve Niang's mother and the second mistress of the Ye family, Mrs. Chen, followed Princess Liu from Mrs. Sun's room, walked a few steps to follow Princess Liu, and looked left and right. , with a smile and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, have you asked your ancestors about Twelve Girls? What did you do wrong? When will you be locked up?"

"Don't be in a hurry." Princess Liu Jun said slowly: "Twelve Girls are usually too presumptuous, and it won't do her any harm to be locked up for a few days. With her temperament, how can she get married in the future? The natal family came forward to deal with this and that for her? You, it's right to love the child, but you can't spoil the child too much. "

"I'm not doting!" Mrs. Chen's face turned purple when she was blocked by Princess Liujun's words. Twelve Niangs have always been loved by their ancestors. Knowing it well, he suppressed the bad breath at this moment and said with a smile: "Look, Twelve Girls have been locked up for so many days, but the old ancestor didn't even have a word to understand, so if you get locked up, you can teach me a lesson." Okay, that's all right, what can I say? But there must be a reason? What's wrong with Twelve Girls? I'm her mother, so you have to tell me? Is Twelve Girls okay? Naturally, this mother should learn a lesson, right?" Mrs. Chen's words were full of resentment, Twelve Niangs were inexplicably locked up until now, she tried her best, asked openly and secretly, and inquired from the side, I don't know how many times Well, there is not a single word from my ancestors, just sticking to people, what kind of thing is this!

"There's nothing wrong with that. Since that's the case, wouldn't it be convenient for you to ask your ancestors face to face just now?" Princess Liu Jun squinted at her, and blocked her back forcefully, only blocking Mrs. Chen's face from purple. But Qing, who walked a few steps behind Princess Liu Jun, suddenly shook off the handkerchief forcefully, without saying a word, turned around and headed towards Twelve Niang's courtyard boldly.Concubine Liu Jun paused slightly, leaning sideways to Mrs. Chen, with a sneer raised from the corner of her mouth, she hummed lightly, and walked back unhurriedly.At this time, if you dare to stand up to her, do you really think that your ancestors can live a long life?
Mrs. Chen held her stomach full of suffocation, and rushed all the way to the door of Ye Twelve Niang's courtyard without calling her mother-in-law. She rushed forward and knocked on the door vigorously. Frowning tightly, she poked her head out of the door, saw that it was Mrs. Chen, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said, "Madam is here, Twelve Niang is fine, everything is fine."

"Open the door!" Mrs. Chen finally found the source of the evil fire in her stomach, and nodded at her mother-in-law with angry eyebrows: "If you dare to stop you today, try it! Just try!" Seeing Mrs. Chen's angry nose, the mother-in-law would Crooked, she hurriedly held her breath, lowered her hands and stepped aside. Her family is all slaves of the Dongyang County Prince's Mansion, and she dared not face the matter of fending off Mrs. Chen's anger, no matter what.

Mrs. Chen rushed into Ye Twelve Niang's yard smoothly, her anger subsided, a trace of fear rose in her heart, she rushed past the door of the inverted seat, suddenly stopped, pointed at her mother-in-law and said: "Go, Twelve Niang please come out and talk! "The mother-in-law agreed, and rushed in. As soon as she rushed to the vertical flower gate, she saw Ye Twelve Niang coming out like a whirlwind. The mother-in-law hurriedly clung to the wall to avoid it. Entering Mrs. Chen's arms, she wailed loudly before she finished calling "A Niang".
