Chapter 242 Investigation

Xu Runxin was silent for a while, and said: "We don't know what the situation over there is. We should call Lord Hou back as soon as possible. If what the Jiang family said is true, then what's the matter with the Li family going out to suppress bandits?" Xu Runxin He clenched his fists tightly and swallowed what he said, it's better not to tell Meizi about those things.

"Yesterday, I sent someone to deliver a letter to him. Although Nanshan is not far away, if they go into the mountain, it will take some time to find it, but they should be able to come back today."

Xu Runxin nodded and talked about the Jiang family, "Master Jiang Liu and Uncle Jiang want to see you."

"They are outsiders, and I, a housewife, can't help me when I see them. If they are worried, I will ask Li Ji to meet them later." As for the steward, Hou Yunping intends to train him to be the successor of Chief Pang, and it would be best for him to come forward.

Xu Runxin thought about it too, it was really inconvenient for Liang Yimei to see them.

Master Jiang Liu and Uncle Jiang were both excited and regretful after receiving the news. They were excited because the news showed that the Changping Marquis Mansion would intervene in management. What they regretted was that they did not bring their female relatives this time, otherwise they would have been able to see Changping directly. Mrs. Pinghou.

At this time, the three of Hou Yunping who received the news were rushing to the capital, and the son of King Zhao said in a jerky way: "It was so easy to come out that I was disturbed once. Hey, I said Yunping, your wife didn't do it on purpose, did she? Just come out It’s only been three days, is there any need to think like this? You even lied about the military situation?”

Hou Yunping's face turned black, but he didn't say a word, he just accelerated the whip forward.

Prince Zhao raised his eyebrows, when did Hou Yunping stop hitting back when others hit him?Before he opened his mouth to speak, Li Xuanran rode up to him from there, "If you are not afraid that he will settle accounts after the fall, you can speak up now, but I won't help you then!"

Prince Zhao snorted coldly, "If you want to go back to the capital, I think you are the happiest person, right? I heard that someone has lost a lot of face this year, but the siblings still didn't let go. Why, after two days out, his wife came to call Her husband has gone back, and a certain person became angry under the strong contrast, and planned to turn over?"

Li Xuanran's face is much thicker than Hou Yunping's, so he wasn't annoyed at this time, he just responded with a smile: "That's what I like too, it's better than someone who doesn't treat a beauty, and only sees an old black face when I go home, but when I come out You have to run to the mountains and be nice to the beast!" After speaking, he rode his horse and followed Hou Yunping.

When Hou Yunping heard the bickering between the two, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Prince Zhao was so angry that he pointed at him with a horsewhip. An important reason why Prince Zhao didn't like to go home was that as soon as he went back, King Zhao would scold him with a straight face!

When Hou Yunping returned to Hou's mansion, Prince Zhao's son and Li Xuanran also came with them. The reason for both of them was to pay Mrs. Tai's peace.

Hou Yunping didn't care about them, and took the two of them to Mrs. Tai's yard to pay her respects, then left them behind and went to the main house.

Li Xuanran knew Liang Yimei's temperament, if something serious happened, she would not have sent such a letter to Hou Yunping, and Prince Zhao simply wanted to join in the fun.

Liang Yimei was not in a hurry to talk about that matter, she looked at him in a dusty state, washed him up, and then told him the news Xu Runxin got, "... After all, it is worth hundreds of thousands, if you add Brother Zheng and monk The big brother’s part is almost a million. It’s just that although the eldest brother Zheng and the second brother have gone to patrol the border, and the eldest brother Shang has also left Beijing, all things are now on the shoulders of the elder brother Xu alone. Oh my god, he's lost all his weight, that's why I asked you to come back and discuss it."

"You mean the Liang family pretended to be pirates and hijacked the ship?"

Liang Yimei nodded, "That's what the Jiang family said. There are not only the business of the Jiang family, but also those who rent the boats of the Jiang family, and some are small merchant ships that go to sea with the Jiang family."

"The Li family is not like this..."

"I also had some doubts, so I just asked Li Ji to visit the Jiang family without promising anything, but, the Jiang family is a merchant after all, so I don't think they need to lie to us. The Li family must also be involved."

"Let's get the people from the Jiang family, I'll talk to them, and Runxin."

Liang Yimei nodded in response.

When Xu Runxin received the news, he was with a few stewards, dismissed them, and was about to leave after changing clothes. Mrs. Dong was a little distressed, and turned around and took another dress and said: "It's still spring, bring one more, so that you don't have to worry about it." Catching a cold, will you come back at night?"

"Not necessarily. If you don't come back, you will stay in the Hou's mansion. I will call someone back to inform you. You can take the children to sleep first and guard the door!" After thinking for a while, Xu Runxin said again: "Call my brother Come and stay at home for a while, I may run out during this time, and I am a little worried that you are alone at home."

Dong cuddled in her heart, nodded with a smile and said, "I'll tell him later."

Xu Runxin took the clothes, leaned over and patted the obedient An Ge'er's head, and said: "An Ge'er is at home, I want to help my mother take care of my brother, and don't let him run around mischievously, you know?"

An Ge'er nodded solemnly, "I will take good care of my brother!"

Fu Geer suddenly became unhappy, "Daddy, I am the elder brother!"

Xu Runxin said "hmm", "So you have to protect your mother and younger brother so that no one can bully them, you know that?"

Fu Geer raised his chest and said: "Don't worry, Daddy, I will definitely protect my mother and younger brother. Whoever dares to bully them, I will beat him!"

Xu Runxin nodded appreciatively. Mrs. Dong was not surprised by this, and only urged him to hurry up before it was too late.

Fu Geer took out a piece of candy from his body for a long time, and handed it to Xu Runxin, "Daddy, I'll give you some candy, so don't frown."

Xu Runxin's brows suddenly relaxed, took the candy and put it on his body, praised, "Good son", and then said: "You are so old, why do you still like to eat candy? Start studying hard from today, Even if you don't want to be an official, at least you have to take the exam like your father in the future, and leave the matter of becoming an official to your younger brother."

Brother Fu breathed a sigh of relief and promised to study hard!

As soon as his father left, Brother Fu looked at Brother Ang with pitiful eyes. The younger brother is so pitiful. He only needs to pass the Juren examination. The younger brother actually wants to be a Jinshi, just like Zhuo Geer and Mao Geer Pitiful!At this moment, Fu Geer decided not to steal his brother's candy from now on.

……

Li Xuanran turned his head to look at Prince Zhao, Prince Zhao scratched his head and said, "How do I know about this? You know that I have been outside during this time."

Li Xuanran sneered, "Yantai, I said you were incapable earlier, so I sent my people out, so I don't need to ask you now!"

Yan Tai snorted coldly, "Do you still think that Fujian is our fiefdom? To avoid suspicion, my father, of course, doesn't want to meddle in Fujian's affairs. Don't say how capable you are. Now that you have mastered Fujian, it will be difficult for you to receive news again, right? How did I hear that your people are now His Highness’s people?”

"That's my pleasure too. Our Fuguo government has always been loyal to the king and to the people..."

"That is to say, no one knows for sure whether the Li family has done this?" Hou Yunping interrupted their bickering.

"Wrong! There is one more person who definitely knows." Zhaowang Shizi looked at the two of them proudly, and said: "As long as this person wants to know about Fujian, there is no one who doesn't know about it, not to mention that it is impossible for the Li family to do it this time." Without leaving a trace, what about such a big thing?"

"Just say who it is." Li Xuanran interrupted him.

The son of King Zhao was not angry, and said: "This man is called Snake Zu. Before the sea ban was opened, he dared to sneak into the sea. Later, he made a lot of money. After he bought a field in Fujian, he fell in love with a pawn dealer. He has great prestige among fishermen, farmers, and those pawn traders, and this is how his news came, sometimes he received news about things that my father and the king didn't know about."

Hou Yunping said in a deep voice, "How did you find him?"

The son of King Zhao said, "I heard that he offended the Li family five years ago, and the Li family used a trick to kill his whole family. He escaped with one of his grandsons, but it was also heard that he was chased. On the way to kill, fell into the sea and drowned..."

Both Hou Yunping and Li Xuanran looked at him with piercing eyes.

Prince Zhao's son said awkwardly: "But those people in Fujian said that he didn't die, and my father also said that he didn't die so easily, so..."

"Let's send people to Fujian to investigate first," Li Xuanran said, "and then send people to investigate the Snake Ancestor. Now I'm afraid that the Li family will go out to suppress bandits..." If the Li family did this, then the Li family's so-called Suppressing bandits can only be practiced by the fishermen along the coast. This kind of thing has always happened. It used to be for military exploits. Now,...

A stern look flashed in Hou Yunping's eyes, the Li family had better not do this, otherwise?
Seeing them like this, Prince Zhao hesitated to speak!

Both Hou Yunping and Li Xuanran were thinking about something and didn't pay attention.

The son of King Zhao returned home, and King Zhao was taking exams for his grandsons. He was smiling all over his face, but when he saw Nizi, his face suddenly turned cold, but he still saved face for him in front of his grandsons. Xiao Douding said: "Go back first, and grandpa will have dinner with you later."

A few little Doudings agreed, turned their heads to look at their father with admiration, saluted, and left.Prince Zhao's backyard is famously harmonious in the capital, because Prince Zhao doesn't like these women in the backyard, but he will leave children for them, and when he is with the children, he will make a fuss, but he likes the outside But they will not bring them into the house, let alone let them keep their children, and the daughters in the backyard know that it is impossible to please their husbands. , but it's a pity that the prince has always looked down on concubines, so apart from his grandson-in-law, he has almost no impression of the son's concubines, so the backyard is a peaceful scene.

Seeing that his grandsons had left, King Zhao snorted coldly, "You still know how to come back?"

It was rare for the son not to quarrel with his father, and said in a low voice: "Father, something happened in Fujian!"

King Zhao raised his head "ooh"!
