Outside the gate of Yang's mansion, there were many torches, and the atmosphere was tense.

Yang Huairen groaned slightly, and said: "According to the law, I should be responsible for the local government for the right to arrest thieves, and this official is the Shaoyin of Luoyang Mansion, why don't you know that there are gangsters infiltrating Luoyang City?" Is Your Excellency mistaken? ”

Eagle Dog said respectfully: "Lord Yang, tonight's thief is not trivial, and the situation is urgent, so I have not yet informed the Luoyang Mansion Yamen, and I ask you to forgive me, and when we get the thief, we should leave, and please make it convenient." ”

Yang Huairen sneered: "It's not impossible to make it convenient, but after all, this is the residence of the prime minister, and most of the people living in the inner courtyard are female dependents. What is the face! ”

Eagle Dog said with an embarrassed face: "Lord Yang, you are embarrassing us!" ”

Yang Huaiyu was afraid that Yang Huairen and the six doors would have a stiff quarrel over this, so he smiled and said: "It's not that it's embarrassing, since it's going to be searched inside, so let's ask Your Excellency to send a warrant from the head of your six doors, how about it?" ”

This point is to the point, and the eagle dog is even more embarrassed.

Tonight's incident happened suddenly, and they didn't expect the thief to escape into the Yang Mansion, so they didn't have a warrant yet, and at this time, they immediately felt very difficult to deal with the Yang family brothers' soft and hard attitude.

At this time, a crisp sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and it was the woman called Deputy Chief Ning who galloped in just now, and she waved her horsewhip and asked lightly: "Why, is the Yang family still blocking the six doors today?" ”

Seeing the woman, the eagle dogs were shocked as if they had found the backbone of the heart, but looking at the Yang brothers, their expressions changed slightly.

It was Yang Huaiyu who reacted first, and smiled reluctantly: "It turned out that Ning Zhen's niece came in person, and we were disappointed." ”

When Deputy Chief Manager Ning heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his slender legs straddled the horse's back, and he jumped down lightly and neatly.

After standing still, she patted the dirt on her boots with a horsewhip, and then she said in a good time: "The two Yang lords are both important ministers of the imperial court, and Ning Zhen is only the deputy head of the six doors and five products. ”

Yang Huaiyu was a little embarrassed when these words came to the point, and asked, "I didn't expect to alarm the virtuous niece tonight, could it be that something big happened in the palace?" ”

Ning Zhen replied with a cold face: "Tonight, a small person broke into the palace with the intention of assassinating, and after being discovered by my six doors, she fled in a panic, and someone saw that she fled into your Yang Mansion!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Huairen and Yang Huaiyu were both shocked.

It is not trivial for an assassin to enter the palace to carry out assassination, this is a serious crime against complicity, no wonder the deputy chief of the six doors personally led the team to arrest the assassin, at this time, there is no reason to stop it.

Thinking of this, Yang Huaiyu said: "Since there are assassins infiltrating our Yang Mansion, then it is incumbent upon us to open the door to allow six doors to search, and the virtuous niece is invited to enter." ”

Ning Zhen simply arched his hand and said, "Thank you Lord Yang for your success, finding an assassin is good for us and the Yang family, and I am offended." He waved his hand at the eagles and dogs, and ordered, "Come on, go in and search." ”

Seeing this, Yang Huairen smiled bitterly, and only flashed to the side to open the door.

Because he understands that now is no longer the time to maintain the dignity of the Yang family, the first thing is to clear the suspicion of the Yang family.

After all, the assassin fled to the Yang Mansion, and even if the imperial court believed in the Yang family, it would not sound good to say, and it would be a little unpleasant.

It is better to let these court eagles and dogs enter and search to prove their innocence.

Soon, a bright torch rushed into the Yang Mansion, and also broke the tranquility of the Yang Mansion.

The eagle dogs carefully and carefully inspected every corner in groups of three, and never gave up any suspicions.

And Ning Zhen stood in the main hall waiting with Mo Dao in her arms, her pretty face without any expression was quite cold under the reflection of the lights.

In the middle of the ring, an eagle dog entered and announced: "Deputy Chief, all the mansions of the Yang Mansion have been searched, and no trace of the escaped assassins has been found, and now only the inner courtyard has not been searched." ”

Ning Zhen nodded, looked at Yang Huairen and Yang Huaiyu, and said: "Two Lord Yang, now only the inner courtyard is left to search, since there are many women living in the inner courtyard, in this way, the official will enter the search is." ”

Yang Huaiyu nodded and said, "Okay, the virtuous niece will come with the old man." ”

After speaking, the group went to the inner courtyard.

It was inconvenient for the eagles and dogs to enter the courtyard to disturb the female dependents, so they went to the back garden and other places to search.

And Ning Zhen, accompanied by Yang Huaiyu and Yang Huairen, searched one courtyard after another.

Although she searched very slowly, she was very careful and careful.

Time passed slowly, and when she had searched the six courtyards and still found no trace of the assassin, Ning Zhen's expression was slightly anxious.

When she came to a new courtyard, she stood still and asked, "Lord Yang, I wonder who lives in this courtyard?" ”

Yang Huaiyu replied with a smile: "This courtyard is called Xiuzhuyuan, and the one who lives in it is Cui Wenqing, the aunt of our Yang family. ”

"Cui Wenqing?" Ning Zhendai frowned, obviously a little strange, and asked, "What?" Could it be that Miss Yang has already married Your Excellency? ”

"It's not the daughter of my Yang family, but the daughter of the Zhe family." Yang Huaiyu said with a smile, "Cui Wenqing is the niece of the old husband - the husband of Zhenwu Army's Governor Zhezhao. ”

"This person is the husband of Zhezhao?" Ning Zhen raised her eyebrows suddenly, revealing a look of disdain, and said coldly, "In the past, when I was in Luoyang, Zhe Zhao often said that her father-in-law must be a great man who stands up to the sky and the earth in the future, so good, today I will take a good look at how great this Cui Wenqing is." With that, he strode into the courtyard.

The lights of the bamboo garden are dotted, and the hazy glow exudes a dim yellow color.

As soon as the group reached the bottom of the corridor, Yang Huaiyu said in a loud voice: "Wen Qingxian's nephew, six doors have come to search for the assassin, and please open the door quickly." ”

The voice fell halfway, but the room was silent, and no one answered.

Yang Huaiyu was very surprised, and just saw Lotus Ye running over in a hurry, so he asked, "Lotus Ye, is your uncle in the room?" ”

Seeing so many people coming, Lotus Ye was a little panicked, and hurriedly saluted: "Qiyu Sanlangjun, my uncle is resting in the house, I don't know what you are looking for him?" ”

Without waiting for Yang Huaiyu to answer, Ning Zhen couldn't wait any longer, and said impatiently: "Six doors to handle the case, why do you need to ask more, just open the door." ”

As soon as these words fell, an answer was heard in the room, and the door was opened from the inside.

Ning Zhen looked up, and saw a young man wearing obscene clothes and pants standing at the door of the room, with long hair scattered, sleepy eyes, and a pair of clogs on his feet. In the middle of the night, there will be a search! ”

Seeing this, Yang Huairen said with a wry smile: "Virtuous niece, this is Cui Wenqing." ”
