Chapter 109 The Bad Luck of the Third Prince's Mansion

Three days later, on Suzaku East Road, it was still half moonlight, and the back door of the Third Prince's Mansion opened with a "squeak", which sounded a little creepy in the quiet night.

"Hurry up, hurry up, carry it to the mass grave." A person in charge looked around carefully, and then said in a low voice.A few servants followed behind him. They were carrying something covered with bamboo, which was hard to see clearly.

About an hour later, the steward and the servants came back empty-handed, apparently having finished their work.The back door of the Third Prince's Mansion closed again with a "squeak", as if nothing had happened.

Before entering the mansion, the steward still looked around cautiously, and only walked in first when he found that everything was as usual.He didn't realize that on a tall tree not far away, a man in brown was quietly watching them.

Ever since they appeared, the men in brown had been following them carefully, and they didn't notice it at all when they came back in a circle.

Early the next morning, the steward of the Third Prince's Mansion reported to Chang Shi Chu Beihui: "My lord, I have already settled the matter, please rest assured." ——Chu Bei is the chief history of the Third Prince's Mansion, a fifth-rank official, These stewards naturally respectfully call him an adult.
Chu Bei nodded, instructed the matter not to be publicized, and asked the steward to step down.

It was nothing more than the death of two insignificant staff members, Chu Bei had nothing to worry about, and it was not like he had never died like this before.It's just that these two people died at an inopportune time, and now His Highness is choosing a marriage, isn't this bad luck?
"It's really bad luck!" Chu Bei couldn't help cursing secretly, and then went to Wuben Building.

He didn't know, this was really bad luck, the death of these two staff members was just the beginning.

On this day around You hour, two people came to the side door of the Third Prince's Mansion. They were two middle-aged men. They were well-dressed, but their feet were covered with dust and their temple hair was messy. They were full of dust. It must have come from out of town.

The two middle-aged men, who apparently did not know each other, shared an eerie amount of similarity.For example, they all have two servants behind them, for example, they all have anxious expressions on their faces.

"My lord, I'm sorry to trouble you. This is the father of Tang Zhu, a staff member in the mansion. Please tell him that I'm waiting for him outside the mansion." One of the middle-aged men in blue shirts approached the Third Prince's concierge and said,
The seven-rank official of the concierge of the prime minister of the capital, let alone the concierge of the Third Prince's Mansion?So he put his posture extremely low, just to make the concierge more comfortable, and pass the word on his behalf.
"Tang Chu? There seems to be such a person in the staff of the mansion. I'll ask someone to tell you." The concierge accepted the money with squinted eyes, and his tone sounded good.

"Please tell me, my lord, this is Yu Hanyuan's father." Seeing this, another man in Tsing Yi also took out a piece of silver and handed it to the porter.

One of these things is a pass, and the other two are also a pass. The concierge accepted the money and asked a servant to call someone.

During the waiting period, the two middle-aged men in blue shirt and Tsing Yi had exchanged names. The man in blue shirt was from Yun Tang Youan, and the guest in Qingshan was Yu Jin. .

It turned out that they were all from the Guannei Mansion, and Du Miao was working as an aide in the Third Prince's Mansion. They had received a letter from Du Miao two days earlier, so they rushed to Jingzhao.

Guannei Mansion is next to Jingzhao Mansion, and it only took a day or two for the fast horse. The two hurriedly put aside their family affairs and came to Jingzhao's place.

When talking about the letters from home, the expressions of these two people were not natural, and their tone was hesitant. It happened that the porter called them at this time, and the topic stopped.

"Tang Chu and Yu Hanyuan are busy with business today, and I don't have time to see you for now, so you go away first." The porter said this, without taking out the money he had collected in his sleeve.

"This... I have an urgent matter at home, I just need to see him once, please be convenient." Tang Youan seemed to remember something when he heard these words, his tone and expression were very anxious.

Yu Jin next to him was not much better, his brows were tightly frowned, and he took out another ingot of silver, trying to give it to the porter.

"I said I'm not free today, so come back tomorrow!" The porter said impatiently with his face downcast.He remembered what the boy said just now. The steward of the mansion had already said that anyone who came to Tang Zhu and Yu Hanyuan would be excused.

The concierge knew that the money would not be collected, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful in his heart, and his tone sank.

Tang You'an and Yu Jin had no choice but to go to the inn to stay together, planning to come back to Suzaku East Road tomorrow morning.

However, when they went again the next day, the answer they got was still the same as yesterday. It seemed that Tang Zhu and Yu Hanyuan were busy and had no time to meet them at the side door.

No matter how much Tang Youan and Yu Jin begged, and even took out a few ingots of silver, the porter's answer was still the same, and the silver was not taken.

The concierges of Zhaodahu are greedy by nature. If they accept the money, it means that everything is easy to talk about. If they refuse to accept the money, it means that there is something wrong.

Both Tang You'an and Yu Jin had stayed in Jingzhao, so they knew the rules of the concierge, so they couldn't help but feel more anxious when they saw this.They thought of the letter sent by their son, and they still refused to leave.

In the end, the concierge said viciously: "Do you still want to see your son? If you stay here, you won't see him for ten days and half a month!"

Of course they wanted to see their son, and after hearing the concierge's harsh words, they walked away with difficulty.

At the same time, the steward of the Third Prince's Mansion was also reporting the matter to Chu Bei.

"My lord, the fathers of Tang Ju and Yu Hanyuan have been outside the residence for two consecutive days, and I am worried that something will go wrong." The steward said this, with a worried tone.

The two men, Tang Chu and Yu Hanyuan, had just been thrown into the mass grave, and their father came to the door. The timing was so coincidental that the steward felt uneasy, worried that there was something wrong with this matter.

Chu Bei glanced at the steward, and there was disdain and indifference in his eyes. A slave is a slave. You can't handle such trivial things well. What's so difficult about it?Where is the third prince, and can two outsiders be allowed to act wildly?
Chu Bei withdrew his eyes and said casually: "When they come back tomorrow, they will say that those two people have retired, and ask them to go to Jingzhao Mansion to prepare papers, advance the time to September, and do a better job. If they don't give up , send someone to deal with them, and let their father and son reunite!"

At this time, Chu Bei didn't take this matter seriously at all.He has seen a lot of these things and done a lot, just kill those two people, such a simple matter, how can it take two or three days to grind!
His last sentence made the steward stunned for a moment, then he reacted and replied immediately: "The slave takes orders."
It is true, with the influence of the Third Prince's Mansion, it is very simple to make two outsiders disappear without knowing it.

"Come back to me tomorrow when this matter is settled. At the mass grave, you send someone to go and see if the wild dogs have torn up the two corpses. If not, deal with it. Order to go down, order Everyone in the mansion must not mention those two people again, especially those staff members!" Chu Bei thought for a while, and then said a few more words.

Here I want to talk about the issue of Prince Dading opening the mansion and building the curtain.Since the establishment of Emperor He, the prince can open the mansion and build the curtain when he reaches the age of fifteen.The so-called opening the mansion and building the curtain means that the princes choose their own staff to handle various affairs of the prince's mansion.This is the best way for the princes to establish their own personal team and accumulate personal power.

It can be seen from this that Emperor Jianhe was a tolerant emperor. Emperor Chongde followed the old system and allowed the princes to leave the palace at the age of 15. They were also allowed to open the palace and build curtains. The princes can also choose their own staff, but there is one point. Court report.

Originally, the staff members of the prince's mansions reported to the Ministry of Officials of Shangshu Province. Later, the Ministry of Officials had complicated affairs such as selection and examination, so they put the matter in Jingzhao Mansion.Jingzhao Mansion does not care about the specific situation of these staff members, but they must be noted in Jingzhao Mansion whether they will go or stay.

Over the years, because of the secrets of the Third Prince who are inconvenient to tell others, the Third Prince’s Mansion has recruited quite a few staff members. Most of them are hopeless scholars, and they are all young and good-looking young people. There are differences among the several staff members around the prince, so not all the three princes' mansions report to the Jingzhao mansion.

It's just that Tang Zhu and Yu Hanyuan happened to be the two staff members who were on the record.This is exactly what Chu Bei said about going to Jingzhao Mansion to prepare documents.

That night, the steward made an appointment with the acquainted officials of the Jingzhao Mansion, removed the affiliations of these two people, and then ordered the concierge to tell Tang Youan and Yu Jin about the situation. As for the next thing, he had already arranged it.
"It's impossible to have withdrawn! He sent me an urgent letter two days earlier, asking me to come to the Third Prince's Mansion to see him. It is impossible for him to have withdrawn!" Tang Youan's eyes were red, and he couldn't help shouting at the concierge.

He hurried to Jingzhao, full of thoughts of seeing his son, but unexpectedly on the third day of anxiously waiting, he got the reply of resignation.

The ominous premonition that he had had since receiving the letter deeply enveloped Tang You'an at this moment, so he recklessly made a noise at the gate of the Third Prince's Mansion, not afraid that this was the residence of Tianhuang nobles.

Yu Jin looked at all this with cold eyes. Tang You'an's unwillingness and the concierge's impatience made his heart sink to the bottom of the ice, but his face was very calm.After watching for a while, he stepped forward to hold Tang Youan's arm, and said in a reassuring manner: "Cousin, maybe it is true that they have withdrawn their citizenship, but we don't know it. Let's leave first."

Tang You'an turned his head and looked at Yu Jin in astonishment, not understanding why he did this.They had already agreed at the inn that no matter what, they would meet someone today. Why did Yu Jin say such things?

Tang You'an felt a pain in his arm, and Yu Jin squeezed his arm too hard, almost breaking his arm.Tang You'an seemed to understand something, took a deep breath before saying: "Brother Yu said that maybe he has already retired, I just don't know."

The concierge took a look at them, and thought that these two people were quite acquainted, otherwise, the guards in the mansion would have been ready, and they would never dare to come to the third prince's mansion from now on.

At night, the steward of the Third Prince's Mansion hurriedly found Chang Shi Chubei, and said in shock, "My lord, those two people have been rescued, and the people in the mansion can't kill them!"

After Chu Bei heard this, his expression froze for a moment, and for some reason, he felt fear in his heart.
