Chapter 751
"My God, why are there so many villains outside? They're all vicious, they seem to want people's lives!"

The three masters and servants of Yang Xiao turned pale, and stumbled into the yard. When they saw Yuzan waiting for them, as if they saw their relatives, they grabbed Yuzan's sleeve and complained with a trembling voice.

If it wasn't for the reminder of a sliver of reason, Yuhan really wanted to slap the woman in front of her who failed to accomplish anything but failed to do so.

how did it get here?Didn't you invite those villains outside?

Yuhan really wanted to yell out this sentence, but she couldn't, trying to calm down her irritated mood, she whispered: "Aunt Yang, it's not safe for people to come and go here, you'd better go into the inner courtyard."

The area of ​​the house they are in is not big, of course it is not big compared to Rongshou Hall.The courtyard with three entrances and three exits, the traditional layout of the vestibule, the atrium and the backyard, has been left unused since Xiao Nan acquired it, but he often sends people to clean it, so it does not look dilapidated or barren.

Now, Yuhan and the others are standing in the atrium, not far from the noisy gate.That's why Yuhan directly pointed out the fact that it's 'unsafe'.

Yang Yu didn't leave immediately, but asked cautiously: "Where are Yuzhu and the others? I, I want to live in the same yard with them!"

When she was speaking, Yang Yu's eyes were shining brightly, but she was secretly proud: she is only physically weak, but her mind is very healthy.

Who is Polygonatum?He is the confidant appointed by Xiao Nan to take care of the quadruplets.

And who are the quadruplets?They are Xiao Nan's heart and treasures.

Regardless of Yang Xiaorou's weak and sickly appearance, she has a beast's intuition - she doesn't care about everything else, and she only looks for one thing, that is, all good friends will follow the quadruplets.

Yang Xiao thought clearly, according to how much Xiao Nan valued the quadruplets, the guards around these cubs must be the best.As long as I stay with them, I will be safe and sound.

After finishing speaking, I felt that my words were too utilitarian, so I hurriedly argued a few words: "Everyone is together, well, at least we have a care!"

Take care?

Take care of your sister!

Yuhan swears in her heart, but she still has to maintain a minimum of politeness on her face.

Fortunately, there was a lot of noise outside at this time, and there were also constant voices in the courtyard, so the sound of Yuhan's teeth grinding was not so abrupt.

After a while, Yuhan suppressed the anger in her heart and winked at Xiaoman who was on the side.

Xiaoman understood, came to Yang Xiao's side quickly, bowed and said: "Aunt Yang, please come with the servant girl, the servant girl will take you to find Sister Yuzhu!"

After hearing this, Yang Xiao let go of Yuzan's sleeves in satisfaction, straightened her messy temple hair, and the three masters and servants walked towards the inner courtyard with Xiao Man.

Yuhan didn't want to take care of these three women anymore, so she walked straight to the vestibule.

At this time, the guards in the courtyard had already lit torches, and under the reflection of a dozen torches, the originally dark courtyard became brighter.

At least, through the crack of the door, Yuhan can clearly see what the 'bad guys' outside the door look like.

"Listen, people in the courtyard, you are colluding with spies from the Western Turks, intending to endanger the security of the capital..."

Dozens of burly men dressed in black and holding sharp knives were standing in the open space outside the door. A man in his early thirties in the front row was shouting loudly: "If you are sensible, open the door and hand over the spies. We can spare you from dying... If the people inside heard it, the smart ones should quickly open the door—”

Yuzan listened through the crack of the door for a while, and found that these people didn't seem to come specifically for her house, because according to her observation, these people didn't know who lived in the yard.

They, um, how should I put it, their approach seems to be a very standard procedure.

No, that's not accurate, it should be "casting a wide net", no, no, that's not right.Anyway, one thing is certain, that is, these people are not targeting the Cui family.

Yuzan's guess was correct, these people outside were really not recruited by Yang Yu, let alone looking for the quadruplets on purpose, they were ordered by General Wei Zhongwei to look for the princes and dignitaries who were stranded in Beijing.

It turns out that not all the dignitaries go to Lishan to escape the summer heat every year. Except for those who stay in the capital for business reasons, there are some who do not go to escape the summer heat for their own reasons.

There are various reasons, such as sickness, pregnant women at home, or important events, but the result is the same, which is to postpone or simply cancel the annual summer vacation trip.

This year is no exception. There are still more than a dozen families in Beijing who have canceled their trip to Lishan due to their own reasons. Among them are several princes who are quite important figures in the Li clan in terms of seniority.One is Zhao Wang Li Fu, the thirteenth son of the former emperor, and the other is Cao Wang Li Ming, the fourteenth son of the emperor.

Originally, according to the regulations of the imperial court, adult princes had to leave the capital to take up the feudal domain, unless there were special reasons.

The two princes, Li Fu and Li Ming, had special reasons. They were the sons of the first emperor, but when they were young, they became successors separately. One was adopted by the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, and the other was adopted by the suppressed king Li Yuanji.

No matter what the late emperor's thoughts were when he adopted the pair of brothers, now one of the two brothers inherits Li Jiancheng's branch and the other represents Li Yuanji. There is still a special status among the clan clan.

Especially Li Fu, in addition to being named the governor of Liangzhou, he was also named the General of the Right Guard. He is a person that cannot be ignored among the princes.This person's ability is a bit mediocre, but he can't stand up to his family, plus the prince and official hat on his head, in the eyes of Concubine Wei Shu and the eldest prince, he is a person who needs to be wooed.

The same is true for Li Ming, and he is more capable and ambitious than Li Fu.

In addition to these two princes, there are several other dignitaries who are in a similar situation. They seem to have no real power, and they are not as prominent as King Jin and King Wei. energy of.

Therefore, Concubine Wei Shu formulated a way to treat these people when she made a plan, and tried her best to ensure that they would not be drawn by the enemy even if she did not draw these people into her camp.The best way is to 'control' it.

Tonight is a critical moment. According to the plan, Wei Zhong took the roster and asked his lieutenants to "find people" in the capital, trying to get those dignitaries who were stranded in the capital, as well as those who went to Lishan, but some of their family members were in the capital. All 'please come'.

After all, once the plan was successful, the sage died unexpectedly, and the eldest prince ordered the death of the queen and the third prince, he still needed the support of the Li clan and the powerful family.

There is no hope for the people of Changle Princess, anyway, Webster didn't want to save their lives.

But the eldest prince is the Li family after all, even if it is a regicide and usurpation of the throne, he still wants to have a good time when he ascends the throne, at least face-saving, so he needs someone (Li clan members) to cheer him up and sing praises.

Especially the princes surnamed Li, if they are willing to recognize the "new king", then the throne of the new king will be more stable, and the reputation will not be too bad.

Webster and the eldest prince's plan is very good, but those dignitaries are not fools. The capital suddenly had an early curfew, followed by a fire and the arrest of spies, but anyone with a little brain knows that something happened.

Therefore, when the school captains of the Jinwu Guard led the soldiers to "invite people" according to the list and address, they found that those princes and dignitaries who were supposed to recuperate at home, accompany their wives, or hold weddings had all slipped away. .

As for where they went, they don't know.

After Wei Zhong heard the news, he was extremely depressed. His sister gave him two errands in total. The first was to control the capital and the imperial city, which he barely managed.The second is to control the powers stranded in the capital (such as King Zhao and King Cao), and take advantage of the chaos to get rid of some restless families (such as the Xiao family and Cui family), but he has only completed half of this.

Even the half of the completion was slightly discounted, because the people under him did not catch the owners of the Xiao family, Cui family, and Yang family who were staying in the capital, so they had no choice but to set fire to it.

As for the guests who should be 'invited', Wei Zhong only invited three or four families, and they were still the kind of unimportant female relatives.

"Sigh~"

This is not possible, Wei Zhong counted the time and speculated that Lishan had already done something, but his side had no effect, so he was a little anxious. In a hurry, he really came up with a way-search, door-to-door Search!
The curfew has long been enforced in the capital, and even if those people saw the bad situation and slipped away early, they shouldn't be able to escape far.Because the gates of the workshops had been closed long ago, and each gate was guarded by heavy soldiers, they couldn't get out at all.

Ever since, the school captains got Wei Zhong's order and began to search the workshop from house to house, all using the excuse of 'catching Turkic spies'.

Of course, they have limited manpower, and it is impossible to go in and search every household.

But people also have a way, usually they can be called to open the door, let them go in and search smoothly, but they will not go in, but whoever refuses to open the door until death, they feel that the house is tricky, so they insist on breaking in and searching.

This method may seem absurd, but it has some effect, at least it really allowed them to find two or three dignitaries who were hiding in relatives' homes or other industries.

With the results, the school captains also gained confidence, and continued to search for people in the workshop where several nobles gathered according to this method.

"...Listen, people in the yard, if you don't open the door, we're going to force our way in..."

The people outside became more and more clamorous, and some people even started to move ladders to climb over the wall.

"Sister Yuhan, what should I do?"

Lichun followed behind Yuhan, and when she heard the voices outside getting louder, she asked with some fear.

After biting, Yuzan said: "Hit! Beat the leader to death first!" At this point, for the safety of the little master, she had no choice but to go all out.

The only regret is that she may not see Mrs.

What Yuhan doesn't know is that the wife she misses is desperately rushing to Chongrenfang.

"Ma'am, there is Fangmen in front, where there are guards from Jingzhao Mansion!"

Ah Shan sat on the horse and explored the way ahead, before turning back to Xiao Nan's horse, he whispered back.

Xiao Nan pulled the rein and looked into the distance, and sure enough, she saw torches and figures shaking at the gate not far away. She was anxious and didn't care much, so she directly ordered: "I can't care about this much, let's go through !"
