Xiao Nuan didn't know what happened to Zhao Shuyan, but she knew that this matter should be related to herself, and Zhao Shuyan was a little embarrassed. So, Xiao Nuan replied very seriously, "Big brother won't lie to me for no reason, if big brother lied to me, it's also because you think it's better for me not to know the truth about some things." However, I still hope that my eldest brother will not hide it from me, it is always less risky for you and me to discuss it than for you to take risks alone; If you and I join forces, we can't solve it, and what about the third master. ”

Covering up his complicated thoughts with a smile, Zhao Shuyan said with a smile, "Brother Fool understands. You can prepare for family affairs with peace of mind, and after you and the third master get married, we will think about it in the long run. ”

If you can delay, it's not a hurry. Xiao Nuan felt a little relieved, and after sending Zhao Shuyan out of the house, he immediately called Xuan Wu and asked in a low voice, "Where is Mu Dai now?" ”

Xuan Wu mostly followed Xiao Nuan's side, and there were fewer people going to King Sheng's Mansion, and she knew about major events, but she really didn't know the movements of the maids in King Sheng's Mansion, "My subordinates sent someone back to ask?" ”

Xiao Nuan shook her head, "This matter must not be made public, you go and ask Xuan Qi, and then let him bring a message to the third master, pay attention to Mu Dai's whereabouts, since Brother Zhao said it, there must be something." ”

Mu Dai has pretended to be a girl many times, and Xuan Wu also believes that Zhao Shuyan will never ask her for no reason, the girl and the third master are about to get married, and there is no room for sloppiness. If there is a problem with Mu Dai, it means that there is a spy in the Shengwang Mansion or the girl, Xuan Wu nodded to show that he understood, and continued to be busy with Xiao Nuan, only when Xuan Qi came out of the courtyard, he took the opportunity to call him nowhere and asked about Mu Dai.

Mu Dai? Xuan Qi still held his board with a straight face, and thought about it carefully, "I saw her cleaning the study a few days ago. ”

Xuan Wu advised, "You go back and bring the girl's words to the third master, and you can't let others know." ”

Does Xuan San count others? Xuan Qi thought about it and took a step closer, "Fifth sister......"

Xuan Wuhu's body trembled, pushed away three steps and waved his hand, "Don't, I only beat you a few times to occupy this name, you are a few years older than me, I don't deserve this title, if there is something Seventh Brother just say it." ”

The honest man asked directly, "What method does the second girl plan to use to stop the third master?" ”

That's it? Xuan Wu smiled, "You follow Rhubarb every day to listen to the news, how do you know?" ”

Xuan Qi scratched his head in embarrassment, he didn't expect that the second girl, who was usually very talkative, would not enter the oil and salt this time, and her mouth was tighter than an iron bucket, how could he explain to the third master?

When he returned to the palace in the evening, after Xuan Qi brought the words, the third master's eyes were slightly heavy, and Xuan Qi felt that his breathing was not very smooth, so he hurriedly sacrificed a big yellow face to protect himself.

"What did Zhao Shuyan say?"

Xuanqi shook his head.

"Does he look unusual?"

"The subordinates didn't see him." Xuan Qi replied truthfully.

What do you want! Xuan San opened his mouth silently, you are useless, just go and be an Orion.

Xuan Qi bowed his head in a weak heart, for fear that the third master would ask him what Xiaocao was doing these days. Fortunately, the third master didn't ask anything, but just ordered, "Don't make a noise at this time, you act as usual and go and call Wang Quantong." ”

Do you still want to inquire about the movements of the second girl? Xuanqi was very embarrassed to go to the housekeeper.

Wang Quantong didn't know why the third master asked about Mu Dai, and replied truthfully, "Six days ago, Mu Dai received a letter from her hometown in Chaozhou, saying that her grandmother had passed away. The villain allowed her to return to her hometown for the funeral, and sent two guards with strong martial arts to protect her safety. ”

Mu Dai, Mu Xing, Mu Kai and several other entourages surnamed Mu who followed the third master were all people brought by the third master from his uncle. Needless to say, Mu Kai's ability to do so doesn't need to be said, although Mu Kai doesn't look useful, but he has the ability to never forget people, and the third master takes him with him, which is equivalent to bringing a living dictionary, which is a lot more convenient. Although Mu Dai didn't say anything out of her mouth, and the third master didn't arrange for her to do any errands, Wang Quantong didn't treat her slowly, but arranged for her to clean the study, not as an ordinary maid.

After the third master asked Wang Quantong to go out, he immediately instructed Xuan San, "Send someone to contact the guards who sent Mu Dai back to his hometown, and let them report their whereabouts from time to time." Avoid all ears and eyes to listen to Zhao Shuyan's whereabouts, and don't startle snakes. ”

This night, Zhao Shuyan, who was worried about it, took a few stewards to discuss the expansion of the store's purchase channels until late at night, and slept directly in the room behind the store. There are a lot of people here, Zhao Shuyan really didn't "dream" of Xiao Nuan at night, he had a good night's sleep, and after waking up, his spirit was much better, and he felt more and more that this matter was full of strangeness.

Is Chai Yansheng going to test him, or is someone going to get in the way and destroy Xiao Nuan's marriage? Zhao Shuyan washed his face to calm himself, no matter who it was, he must not make a wrong step at this time and drag Xiao Nuan into a situation of no return, who should he talk to at this time? Zhao Shuyan deleted the names that appeared in his mind one by one, and entered the study with heavy steps and closed the door, but saw a person standing next to Bogujia.

Zhao Shuyan fixed his mind and bowed, "Third master." ”

The third master's gaze was taken away from the boxwood carved toad on the shelf, and said, "Sit down." ”

This is your own study, right? What is he going to do when he comes uninvited and puts on the posture of his master? Zhao Shuyan straightened up and asked calmly, "Third Master, please take a seat, do you want to have tea?" ”

After the third master sat down, he said, "Li Anle, whose ancestral home is Yutian, Gansu, is a silk merchant, a hearty and trustworthy person, and his business has been done in the capital along the Hexi Corridor from Yutian, and he has made many merchants in the capital in the past three years, and he has also had contacts with the official family. After the opening of the Zhao family's grocery store last year, he began to buy goods from him, and from the end of last year to the present, he has had many dealings with you, calling him a brother. Do you know his identity? ”

This is the longest passage that the third master has ever said to him, he took the initiative to come to the door to mention Li Anle, but the boulder in Zhao Shuyan's heart fell, a lot easier, he sat down opposite the third master steadily, and said frankly, "What Shuyan knows is what you said, but recently he has behaved abnormally, there should be an unknown side, right?" ”

The third master nodded, "The land of Yutian was originally a small country in the Western Regions, named Khotan, and it was one of the four towns of Anxi in the former dynasty. After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yu Tian was incorporated into the Gansu Military Division, and the real power was still in the hands of the people surnamed Li, who had too close contacts with the Xiongnu and had an ambiguous attitude. Li Anle is a side branch surnamed Li, and with the support of the Li family, he was able to build a caravan of hundreds of people in a short period of time and travel through the Hexi Corridor safely. ”

Zhao Shuyan was surprised, "Why did the imperial court let him become bigger?" ”

In short, "There are many such eagle dogs." ”

Zhao Shuyan pursed his lips, and for the first time understood the weight of the burden on King Sheng's shoulders, "What about the Zhengyuan Dart Bureau?" ”

"The Zhengyuan Dart Bureau has some connection with Yu Tian Li's family, and the situation is not yet clear. Mu Dai left the house for many days due to personal matters and did not return, and her whereabouts are unknown. Zhao Shuyan, this king and Xiao Nuan are about to get married, and they will not send someone to test you at this time. ”
