Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Brocade Guards Come
Yang Chendong, who was writing Chu Liuxiang's series of stories "Legend of the New Moon" in the study, suddenly saw Hu Mang coming in a hurry.
The Qiaoyin beside him was grinding ink before he heard it, and Yang Chendong coughed lightly, "Yin'er, the young master feels a little thirsty." ”
"Oh, Qiaoyin, I'm going to bring tea to the young master." Apologetic, Qiaoyin left. Hu Mang flashed into the study, and said with a hint of anxiety in his voice, "Young master, someone saw more than a dozen strangers coming to the city. They were carrying embroidered spring knives, and three of them were coming in the direction of our old house. ”
"The people of the Jinyi Guard?" As soon as he heard the name of the embroidered spring knife, Yang Chendong frowned slightly. He really couldn't think of what these people were doing at this time. Could it be that something was discovered? No, it's been some time since the people at the Black Pier moved out, and if they were really looking for trouble, it wouldn't be this time. And there are only three people here, isn't that too much to underestimate people?
Although it is said that Jinyiwei and Dongshi don't need any reason to arrest people, it is very domineering, but it seems a little unreasonable to say that it is just three people who came out to perform official duties.
At this moment, Yang Chendong had a lot of questions in his mind. Then he decisively judged that these three people should not be here to arrest people, maybe there was something else.
"Young Master? How? Hu Mang had a nervous expression on his face. According to his meaning, the three people who will directly come will be controlled, so that they will not be able to enter the old mansion at all, and then find a safe place to ask for an understanding, and everything will be clear. If you really find something and want to come and get someone, then go directly to the Red City and stay there, across the sea, where it should be extremely safe.
"Let's see what I'm talking about first." After Yang Chendong judged whether the other party was here to get someone, he decided to wait and see what happened. Then he thought of something and reminded Hu Mang, "You can't do it without my order, you know?" ”
"Yes, young master." Seeing that Yang Chendong said so resolutely, Hu Mang didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he agreed and withdrew. At this time, it happened that Qiaoyin walked in with hot tea, and the timing was very accurate.
Outside the Yang family's old house.
Three men in civilian clothes, but with embroidered spring knives in their waists, walked slowly in front of the main entrance of the Yang family.
"Do you sense that someone is watching us?" The middle-aged man who was the leader was good-looking, and could even be described as handsome, suddenly stopped and turned around and asked. Although this person is older, in his early forties, he still can't hide the heroism on his face, and it is conceivable that he must have been the kind of handsome son when he was young.
"Head? Didn't you notice anyone following us? One of them looked left and right and shook his head.
"That's the head, we have a private visit this time, and we haven't revealed our identity at all, and this is not Jingshi, no one in a small Jianning Mansion can recognize us." The other replied in the affirmative.
"Really? In this way, I felt wrong. The leader shook his head, then looked left and right, and found that there were no suspicious people on the street, so he relieved himself, "In this way, we go through the back door, and you also said that we are not here for official business, so don't go through the front gate and scare people." ”
After a short stop on the street, the three of them went around and went straight to the back door of the Yang family's old house.
Unless something big happens, the general house is generally only open with the side door and the back door.
The side door is reserved for visitors and people with status to enter and exit, and the back door is reserved for those who are under the door to move around. The Yang family's old house is no exception, because it is almost time for lunch, and there are a lot of people coming in and out, and it also saves three people from knocking on the door. As soon as they arrived, they walked in the door.
This is what Yang Chendong intends to do, there are very few people who know all his behaviors in the Yang family's old mansion, he just wants to take the opportunity to tell other people, let them know that he is an honest young master, and he has no other bad intentions.
The three of them walked into the backyard without hindrance, and it wasn't until they entered the inner courtyard that someone came to interrogate them because they saw them.
Seeing that someone finally came over to ask them, one of the attendants couldn't help but say, "The management of this Yang family's mansion is too loose, we have all come here, and only then did someone come to inquire about our identity, if we have any bad intentions, wouldn't it be easy to take the life of the sixth young master?" ”
"Yes. I used to hear how powerful this person is, especially writing martial arts stories, which is even more exciting, but now I look at it, it is estimated that it is mostly a character on paper. The other person also looked supportive and approving.
The middle-aged man at the head heard the discussion of the two subordinates, and did not say anything to stop it, because this was the same as his opinion. At this moment, the idea of being watched by others before has completely disappeared, it must be an illusion.
The one who came up was a backyard steward, who usually managed four or five Yang family members under his hands. It was precisely because of this identity that when he saw that the eyed person had come here, and there was no Yang family to lead him, he couldn't help but greet him curiously, "Three? Who are you? Who to look for? How did you get here? ”
was stopped, the middle-aged man's face was not panicked at all, on the contrary, he was very calm, and said confidently, "Looking for the sixth young master, we are his old friends." ”
"Old friends?" Looking at the age of the middle-aged man, the backyard steward didn't believe it. Who is the sixth young master, how old is he, how can he have a friend of such age? Moreover, it doesn't make sense that these people are friends, and instead of taking their names and visiting them through the front door, they come to the backyard. "Hehe, I don't think you're the young master's old friend, you're here to ask the young master to tell you a story, right?"
The backyard steward thought he had guessed correctly, and while smiling heavily, he wanted to shout, summon someone, and blast the three out. Since the rise of "Yang Bao", there are many people who want to see the sixth young master. It's just that the young master has always rarely met guests, and only in the name that Ding Wei is not suitable to see guests at home, which makes some people think crookedly, so there are really any kind of people. The three people in front of me are afraid that they want to fish in the backyard.
The steward thought he had seen the clue, and his mouth was about to open and shout, but then a pair of big hands flashed over and covered his mouth at once. "Tell you, don't scream if you don't want to cause trouble."
The person who did it was the middle-aged man, and as he spoke, he took out an ivory belt, which was the identification card for Jinyiwei.
There have been various rumors among the people about Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but they really obey the emperor's orders, and the power is unimaginable, and they don't need any evidence to arrest people, and sometimes they depend on their mood. In particular, the ivory belt they use is even more discolored, and what it represents is self-evident. Now that he was appearing in front of him, the backyard steward was about to fall to his knees as soon as his legs weakened.
The middle-aged man lifted him in his hand with a slight force, and then whispered and threatened, "Which courtyard is the sixth young master in?" ”
"North Courtyard, the one on the north side is." Feeling the strength of the hand, it seemed that he could twist his neck at any time, and the backyard steward replied with a bloodless face.
"Lead the way." The middle-aged man casually pushed the man back, and a subordinate took over the man. A group of four people walked towards the courtyard where Yang Chendong was. And all of this was seen by Yang Liu, who was secretly, just because the young master had already ordered not to move these people, he could only watch like this first. But the soft-legged backyard steward was indeed recorded, and after this incident, this person will definitely not be able to stay in the Yang family's old mansion.
dared to betray the sixth young master, just by virtue of this, this person would never be hired by the Yang family, and even with the character of Hu Mang and several family members, it is important to say whether he can survive after leaving the Yang family.
With someone to guide the way, soon the four of them came to the courtyard. It's just that it's quiet, and it doesn't look like it's inhabited at all. At the same time, the middle-aged man also felt a looming murderous aura nearby, as if he could open his mouth and devour him at any time.
"What is this place, and why is it so quiet?" The middle-aged man's eyes were blazing, and he looked around. But I can't find any traces of other people, if it weren't for the perennial execution of various tasks, I'm afraid that even that weak murderous aura would not be felt.
After knowing that the other party was Jinyiwei, where did the backyard steward still have the slightest backbone to say, he thought that the young master had committed something and was about to be arrested, and thought that the Yang family was about to be finished, so he knew everything, and pointed to a room more than 20 steps away and said, "There is the study of the sixth young master, because the young master is quiet, we are not allowed to come here." ”
"Waste." Seeing that the person in front of him had sold his master like this, the brocade guard who was holding him snorted angrily and casually threw it on the ground. The other person strode forward, looking like that, he obviously wanted to explore the way first, and see which room this sixth young master was in.
"It's a pleasure to have friends from afar. But you don't seem to be the way to be a guest, do you? Do you want to be strong here with this young master? A slightly immature, but confident voice sounded. Then a young man in a green shirt walked out of the study with a beautiful girl, holding a folding fan with teeth and bones, which seemed a little elegant.
The people who appeared were naturally Yang Chendong and Qiaoyin.
With Yang Chendong's keen five senses, he naturally heard the footsteps that were far away, and knew that someone had come to the courtyard, but he didn't come out immediately, but pointed out the window and looked at Qiaoyin, "Yin'er, some troubles won't appear if we don't want to look for them, you will slowly understand Young Master Ben's intentions." ”
