Hearing that something happened to Xu Song, Xu Hao, who was planning to go to Beiping, was surprised, frowned and told everyone not to pack their bags, and to continue to live in Xianghe County for a few days.

Xu Hao has no half-dime family affection for Xu Song, and the childhood memories in his mind have long been blurred and gradually faded, and he has not seen each other for nearly a year, which is even more strange.

The reason why he didn't move was completely because he was no longer suitable to leave at this moment, and his brother's whereabouts were unknown, so how could he be indifferent to his brother? Still have nothing to do with going to Peking to visit Zhu Di and his wife?

Since Xu Song originally planned to come to the north, Xu Hao immediately ordered Li Qiu to take more than half of the guards and asked the local government to send officials to accompany the search; While drawing Xu Song's appearance and posting it on various traffic arteries and city gates, and offering a reward of five hundred taels of silver, he sent someone to ride a fast horse to inform Zhu Di and ask the Yan Wangfu to send troops to find someone.

Five more days have passed unconsciously, and there is no news about Xu Song. Xu Hao received a decree from the emperor, reminding him to return to Beijing by December.

Xu Hao couldn't guess Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions, why did he have to rush back on time? There was a faint foreboding.

Seeing that it was now the beginning of October, the north had entered the winter, and the weather was gradually getting colder, so I decided to wait a few more days to go to the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping, and at the latest in early November, I had to leave to return to the capital no matter what.

On the side of the capital, although Xu Song's disappearance made the old lady worried, there was still a glimmer of hope that the body was not found, and the funeral was not immediately organized. The old lady kept her promise and set Xu Ji's family affair on October 10, hoping to bring blessings to her grandson with a happy event.

The third wife, Liu, washed her face with tears all day long, and the old lady asked her second daughter-in-law Xiao to accompany her every day.

The old man Xu Yaozu went out because of his son's marriage, so he ordered the second brother Xu Qingtang and the third brother Xu Zengfu to take the Xu family to leave Beijing to search for the children of the next generation.

In the courtyard, Mu Ningxue and the maids stood in front of the offering table with a reverent face, sending off the chrysanthemum fairy and other flower gods to abdicate, and then preparing to welcome the arrival of the plum blossom fairy.

Xu Hao stood in the room and looked at them, a little sigh about this, it was really caused by their boredom, the boudoir was so boring to dispel boredom over and over again, like to read and write, paint and play the piano and compose poetry and other female celebrities and so on, the girl is better, the spirit is more fulfilling, and there is always something to be busy over the year. Girls who don't like these are too monotonous, no wonder everyone cares about the trivial things around them, and they are often angry and quarrelling, in short, because they are too idle.

Xu Hao turned his head and continued to read Hongye's letter, knowing that the eldest sister and younger sister had moved to live in the bamboo garden, and later because the garden was being renovated on a large scale, it was inconvenient for strangers to enter and exit, and the sisters poured into the bamboo garden with their personal maids in addition to the green bamboo, which made the bamboo garden overcrowded for a while, but everyone was crowded under the same roof, but they all felt fresh and interesting, and no one was clamoring to leave.

Besides, because of the marriage of the second brother and the disappearance of the fourth brother, you don't have to think about it to know that the atmosphere at home has been very bad recently, and everyone has no choice but to hide in the bamboo garden.

Xu Haoxin said that he had suffered his maids, and he didn't know how much idleness he had to suffer, but fortunately, it would be almost enough to endure it for another month, and he should go back at that time.

Put down the letter of the red leaves, and picked up the letter from her sister-in-law, on which was a slightly masculine handwriting, Zhu Qiaoqiao complained in the letter, saying that she was not at home to help her, and she was so busy that she was about to collapse. Now the second wife accompanies the third wife all day long, she has to do everything by herself, not even a helper, and when Xu Ji's marriage is completed, she has to get seriously ill, and now she has to take medicine every day, and she can't sleep for two hours a day.

Xu Hao smiled lightly, and the following were all complaining about the eldest brother Xu Wen, saying that he originally wanted to get him a martial arts, but after hearing the news, he was excited to change his evil and become a new person, which was gratifying.

I can hear Xu Han secretly running over and saying that Xu Ji once complained when he was eating and drinking, saying that he could finally leave this disgusting home, and when he went to the military camp, he could be said to have escaped from the cage, and at that time, the sky was high and the birds could fly, and no one could restrain him.

For this reason, Zhu Qiaoqiao immediately extinguished her thoughts, complaining that it was all her mother's bad idea, but she didn't tell Xu Wen that she let her husband continue to dream of his yellow sorghum and wanted to leave her control? Don't be delusional.

Xu Hao shook her head, and continued to look at the ten lines at a glance, all of which were the problems and complaints that Zhu Qiaoqiao encountered on weekdays, and the incomprehension from the elders, which made her full of grievances and asked when she would go back?

Xu Hao doesn't sympathize with his sister-in-law very much, while enjoying power, he naturally has to face countless troubles, and it is inevitable that he will be thankless and thankless, who will let you covet power? Then don't think that everything will go well, is it good for you to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the housekeeper?

That is, Zhu Qiaoqiao, who seems to be wronged, but is actually happy to do it, and if you change someone, you may be a headache, take the eldest lady as an example, it's not that she doesn't want to take care of the house these years, but she really doesn't have the means and energy, so she has to let go.

Putting down Zhu Qiaoqiao's letter, Xu Hao glanced at the other two letters, one was from his cousin Xu Zengfu and the other was from Wang Ning.

You don't need to look at Xu Hao to guess what is written in it, as early as five days ago, he had received a secret report from Yan Wangfu, Zhang Lin was secretly given to death, the reason was that he wanted to assassinate himself.

Xu Hao is very happy, if there is no snow condensation, I am afraid that he will die like Xu Song. Just because of a small dispute at the beginning, when you anger your political opponents or enemies in the future, I really don't know how many dangers you will face?

It's false to say that you're not afraid, but it's terrifying to know when someone wants to kill you.

Although Zhang Lin is dead, what if there are still enemies hidden in the shadows? This trip to the north seems to have blood on their hands, who knows how many people are eager to kill themselves to avenge their families?

Xu Hao sighed, that's it, for his own safety, he can only continue to walk towards the point of no return to power.

At that moment, Xu Hao first opened Wang Ning's letter, which vaguely wrote that the concubine Zhang Lin died violently for no reason, for unknown reasons, and told himself to take care of his body in the north, and when he returned to Beijing, he must meet Bixia for a good life, and not make a cloud.

No matter what, Xu Hao was very grateful to Wang Ning, even though it was an afterthought, he also learned about Entu. At the same time, I felt a grievance in my heart, Comrade Lao Zhu is the son-in-law you want to kill, why are you angry with me? Didn't I want you to kill you?

Now his little life hangs in the balance, and he may be slaughtered inexplicably when he returns to Beijing. Fortunately, we stupid people have stupid blessings, and now we are famous, not the obscure little people we used to be, one person can involve several prominent people and families, with merit and loyalty to the old Zhu family, I have to be charged with killing me, right? Even Comrade Lao Zhu may have to hesitate again and again.

Although Xu Hao is afraid of this, he is quite calm, as long as Zhu Di protects him, Comrade Zhu will not easily kill the killer, but the future will inevitably not be easy.

No, Xu Hao's face suddenly became very ugly, and he hurriedly reached out and tore open Xu Zengshou's letter, and saw four big characters on it, "With your hands, the Wang family is in danger!" ”

For a long time, Xu Hao held back a word: "Grass!" ”

At the same time, Monk Daoyan smiled very heartily, and said bluntly: "Marquis Dingyuan is afraid that his life will not be long in coming, and even with General Fu, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape death, with the death of these two famous generals, the prince's chances of victory have increased a lot." ”

Zhu Di frowned and said: "Why do you know that the saint has made a murderous move, but the two of them still have to marry Xungui, isn't this self-defeating?" ”

Monk Daoyan said with a smile: "At this time and that time, the Lanyu case has been concluded, and the Jinyi Guards are all hidden, there is no big crime, and Bixia cannot give an order to kill." The two generals understood this very well, marriage was just a means of self-protection for Zuihou, at least under the banner of marriage, secretly transferring the family property away.

The worst thing is that he only lost his life, and he will not implicate the entire family, so that the family can have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and the saint will not even wipe out the Xu family, right? ”

Zhu Di smiled bitterly: "Duke Wei is the father-in-law of this king, if my father is really ruthless and gives him an old man's death, my whole family can only tie up their hands and go to Beijing to die." ”

Monk Daoyan said with a smile: "The more famous generals in the DPRK die, the more the poor monk guarantees that the prince will be safe, because if there is no prince and you to sit in the north, who else can Bixia rely on?" ”

Zhu Di shook his head and said: "I know the temper of the saint too well, if you really want to kill me, it's just a word, and I will never dare to resist." Fortunately, this king has never done anything to disappoint my father, and there are two brothers above, and there are several younger brothers around me who have divided most of my military power, and it is not my turn to be suspicious. ”

Monk Daoyan nodded, and suddenly said: "The prince must sit back and relax, but this time the son of the Xu family is in trouble." ”

Zhu Di asked, "What do you say?" ”

Monk Daoyan said: "The concubine Zhang Lin died tragically because of Xu Gongzi, and the princess became a widow. Because of the concern about the prince and the old man of Wei Guogong and the Mu family, Xu Hao has merit again, and the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and recently sent someone to urge Xu Gongzi to return to Beijing.

The poor monk dared to guess that the death of the two generals must be on Xu Hao, and he would use his hand to eradicate the troubles, so Xu Hao not only could not face the second sister-in-law and the Wang family, but also offended countless relatives and friends of the Wang Fu family in an instant. ”

Zhu Di frowned and thought for a moment, and said coldly: "This king can't intercede for Xu Hao, otherwise it will be bad if his father is dissatisfied." If Xu Hao is lucky not to die, this king will compensate him for his good life in the future. ”

Monk Daoyan chuckled and said: "Although this son is cunning and wise, without the support of the prince, I am afraid that this time I will be in a catastrophe, so I can only obediently return to the capital as a sharp blade in the hands of Bixia." However, with his intelligence and resourcefulness, his life should be worry-free. However, the more cunning he is, the less the Holy Lord will make him feel better, and there must be more drastic means. ”

Speaking of this, Monk Daoyan trembled in his heart, thought of a possibility, glanced at Zhu Di, who was looking down and thinking about things, did not notice his gaffe, and hurriedly picked up the tea.

Monk Daoyan decided not to say it, everything was for the great cause of the prince.
