Chapter 406 Yu Gan (73)

A crowd of civil and military officials flicked their clothes and sleeves, saying that they were reminiscing about the past, but few of them really showed sadness on their faces.But in the end, it was because of the two or three points of solemnity on the face, and with the help of a few drops of rain falling from the sky, the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers finally prevented the atmosphere of a happy event.

Hearing the emperor and Xiangguo talking and joking, it was inevitable that he would come over and agree with him. It was said that the young master of the Huo family was auspicious, and he would recover in a short time, so there was no need to worry.You want to ask for credit for the Huo family, saying that although he didn't protect the emperor's side today, the imperial forest guards in Beijing were all trained by Huo Yunsheng, so Wuxiao dared to take the opportunity to make trouble.

This remark was so convincing, but no one jumped out to refute it openly.The ceremonial officer read a long string again, priests, singers and jugglers appeared in turn, and the gossip disappeared in a blink of an eye.No one thought about the insinuation in Wei Lang's words, "Don't think that Huo Yunsheng can do something behind my back, I'll just watch", and no one thought about what Huo Zhun said in articulate words, "Emperor, don't worry, what can my son do?" ".

After all, Wei Lang was really worried about Huo Yunsheng's condition, and he was really panicked.Huo Zhun also honestly led all the officials to worship three times and kowtow nine times, and he was really in a state of submission.

The man in charge of Jiang's mansion called him Cha Yan, and he got it smoothly. Huo Zhun had a sip of tea when he returned to the mansion, and the man in charge came up and whispered something in his ear, and when he stepped back, his face was full of embarrassment.After hearing this, Huo Zhun couldn't believe it for a moment, so he frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "Where's the person?"

"The little one didn't dare to be negligent, so please go to the room and let the brothers from the Yu family watch."

The steward's words were already frightening, Huo Zhun put down the tea bowl and said, "Come on."He is no more cautious than Jiang Hong, the Huo Mansion has been a shameful affair for the past few years, if the people around him can't be cleaned up, how can they stretch out their hands to the Hudi.

Therefore, there is no need to scurry into the inner room like a mouse crossing the street, so I just let the front hall open to meet guests.The reason was that the person in charge had already given the details, and it was nothing more than someone came to send a letter saying that there was something wrong with the Hu people, and they wanted Huo Zhun to go there in person.The place to go is not far, just in Beijing.

But this matter sounds so far-fetched, not to mention that all the people in Xianbei have left the capital with Huo Yunsheng, even if there are some who stay, they have to discuss something. If all these people have come in, can they still bring a letter?Or just talk in Huo's mansion directly, just bring the words back, why bother to make such a big detour.

If it was Xue Ling, the arrangement might not be perfect, but the servants in Beijing have done a lot of this kind of thing, and the reason is that they have prepared properly early on. Cha Yan followed the person in charge and stood in front of Huo Zhun, pretending to be hesitant. After a while, he signaled that he did not dare to speak casually.

Huo Zhun slowly covered the tea bowl, and said: "Where did you hear the slander from the villain, and dare to frame this old man. Now in terms of everything, you can still leave a whole body, if not." He raised his head abruptly, Eyes wide open.

Just about to continue, Zha Yan knelt down on the ground, as if he had been terrified, and tremblingly said: "Master Huo, the villain is just a messenger, just a messenger. If you say something wrong, it will be that What people teach, is taught by that person.”

When he got deep into the conversation, he knocked his head on the ground with a bang bang.Huo Zhun and the manager looked at each other, and waited for a long time before shouting: "Excuse me, let me tell you what happened first. If the big mistake is not resolved, I can still intercede for you."

Zha Yan took out two silver bills from his bosom, held up his hands and climbed up to Huo Zhun, shouting loudly: "The man gave me 2000 taels of silver, and said that as long as I bring a message to Huo's house, Mr. Xiangguo will be invited to come." , give me another 2000 taels if the matter is completed. He taught me what barbarians and seals. He said that my lord will know it as soon as I hear it, and maybe he will give me a benefit. My lord, I don’t know anything."

The steward came up and took the bank notes, and stepped aside.This person came to the mansion at sunset, and he was arrested by the servants in the blink of an eye.He was still restless when he was arrested, and he wanted to see Mr. Huo.This trouble, naturally came to him.He wanted to fight like a lunatic, but the handkerchief he took out was stamped with a seal.

Although the steward couldn't tell the authenticity of this seal, he didn't dare to let Cha Yan take it out again.But this person's demeanor is obviously just a slapstick.He detained the man in the backyard, first arranged for a few people to beat and frighten him, and after getting a general idea, when Huo Zhun came back, he threw the man in front of Huo Zhun.

Huo Zhun seemed to be moved by Cha Yan, so he calmed down and said, "Be more specific, how does the person in charge know you well?"

Zha Yan said: "The villain is a second-hand merchant. The old man often comes to take care of my business. He was quite anxious when he broke in today, and he seemed to be injured. First, he asked me to help him. Hearing that, he wanted to go to the relative. The government came, the little ones didn't dare, there was nothing they could do."He sideways glanced at the bank note held in the steward's hand reluctantly, and then continued: "He said that the right is a business, and I will buy it for 4000 taels to lead the way."

He began to kowtow again and said: "My lord, it is the little ghost who has lost his mind, greedy for money and ungrateful, please let the little one go back, the little one will never dare again."

It made sense, Huo Zhun leaned back.There have always been people from Tuoba in Beijing pretending to be Hu merchants to make a living, probably something went wrong, so they asked for help.And the companion followed Huo Yunsheng back to Xianbei, and couldn't find anyone available, so he bought a greedy businessman to send a message at a high price, which was smart.

It's just that he has the guts to find him on Huo Zhun on his own initiative.

He waved his hand, and the person in charge picked up Zha Yan, took him aside, and said, "What else does the man have to say, don't miss a single word", watching Zha Yan's eyeballs follow the banknote in his hand Turning around, he just took advantage of the situation and stuffed it back into Zha Yan's clothes.

Zha Yan stopped shaking in an instant, and his tongue didn't tangle, and said: "He said that if you want to cure the illness of the young master of the Huo family, you should ask Mr. Xiangguo to go there in person. He can't trust others. If you don't go, you can... ".He lowered his head, put his hands on the cash on his chest and didn't continue talking.

Huo Zhun wasn't angry, firstly because Zha Yan's words were cowardly and without any threat, and he also knew that he just made up nonsense to trick this idiot into sending a message, which couldn't be true.But since Huo Yunsheng was mentioned, he couldn't help but wonder if something went wrong on the way to Ningcheng.

Huo Zhun said, "You said that man was injured?"

Zha Yan didn't raise his head, and rubbed his hands up and down his chest, looking like a poor man, and said casually: "I didn't see this little one, but I feel that he is not as good as before." He finally stopped his hands and raised his head. Looking at Huo Zhun, his facial features were wrinkled because of difficulty, as if he couldn't find a suitable adjective, it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "It's not as good as it used to be."

Huo Zhun also looked at him and said, "Where does he want you to lead me?"

The manager was very knowledgeable, and said: "My lord." He thought he wanted to make some nonsense to cover up Huo Zhun's relationship with the Hu people, Huo Zhun raised his hand, and he immediately stopped talking.

Zha Yan glanced back at the steward, and then flatteringly replied: "The Fulu Pavilion on West Fourth Street, sir, you don't know, his family has been secretly reselling the good things that the barbarians scavenged, and a piece of leather can cost a thousand gold. Now, if you"

Huo Zhun raised his eyes and shifted his gaze to the steward. When Zha Yan saw Huo Zhun's movement, he quickly shut up, slapped himself, and stopped talking resentfully. He turned his back to the steward, so naturally he couldn't see the steward. He met Huo Zhun's eyes and nodded lightly.

Fulu Pavilion, this is the name in Beijing, but in the mouths of the barbarians, it is called Fulu.The wolf and the white deer have always been auspicious for the Hu people.Whether this place is Xianbei's hidden stake in Beijing is unknown, but the few Xianbei people who accompanied Huo Yunsheng did settle in Fulu Pavilion when they were in Beijing.

It is impossible for Huo Zhun to know everything about it, so he was not sure about such trivial matters for a while, but the person in charge was very clear about it. Once the two of them confirmed it, they concluded that what Zha Yan said was the truth.There must be something wrong with the Xianbei people.

Even if this is a bureau, the person who set up the bureau knows everything about the relationship between the Huo family and Xianbei. No matter how you look at it, he has to go there. He hesitated for a while, and then asked: "Does that person have an explanation that the old man must ask?" Go alone?"

Zha Yan paused at first, as if he didn't expect Huo Zhun to ask such a question, then tilted his head to try to recall, then shook his head like a rattle, and said: "That's not it, he said as long as My lord has gone, even if I have done something."Before he could finish speaking, he gasped again like biting his tongue, as if he was annoyed that he couldn't say anything without money.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and Zha Yan suddenly remembered something, and said: "He actually said that the people around your lord are not trustworthy, so he told you to be careful, don't bring any trouble, and said that he would not go tonight, Mr. Huo The young master is God. God. Immortals cannot be saved."After finishing speaking, he rubbed his hands together, lowered his voice and said, "Your Excellency, you want me to show you the way. I often go there. I know it very well."

Huo Zhun's eyebrows, which had been wrinkled all night, relaxed a little, and he waved his hand, signaling the steward to take Zha Yan down.Zha Yan was so frightened that he shouted repeatedly: "My lord is wise, the little one shouldn't be trying to lead the way for you, please let the little one go." Suddenly, I don't know if the person in charge has done something wrong, the begging for mercy stopped abruptly, and the old man Honestly, it was dragged away.

It was only nightfall at this time, and Xu Shichu was overwhelmed.West Fourth Street, where Fulu Pavilion is located, is not too far from Huo's mansion, and it takes half an hour to run back and forth.The steward dragged Zha Yan into the house, first ordered someone to run to West Fourth Street in Fulu Pavilion, and then came back to wait by Huo Zhun's side.

Huo Zhun didn't open his mouth all this time, and dealt with the most important matters first. When the person sent by the steward to scout the way came back, he asked a few questions.

Everything on West Fourth Street remains the same, nothing is wrong.The Fulu Pavilion also closed early, and the servants of the Huo family went in and walked around. Only a few guards were watching the fire in the back hall, roasting some snacks and eating, chatting about the running water in the shop today without saying a word.

Looking further inside, a single candle was burning in a wing room, and someone was lying on the bed.Careful touch and smell, there is a slight smell of blood and medicinal powder in the air, people who are not used to seeing blood can hardly smell it.The people sent by the Huo Mansion were careful and deliberately made some noises, but the person on the bed remained silent.The combination of the hatchback and the injury seems to be true.

Hearing such a reply, the manager looked at Huo Zhun and said, "My lord..."

On the contrary, Huo Zhun was more stable. Compared with what happened to the barbarians, he was more afraid that someone set up a trap.With such a large amount of money, Beijing Central will not be the second person to bear the brunt except Wei Lang.

But the emperor wanted to trick him into going there and bring down the Huo family on the grounds of Tonghu, at least he had to be a thief to get the stolen goods, first fill in the Fulu Pavilion, and then surround West Fourth Street with water. As soon as Huo Zhun arrived, he yelled at the top of his voice, and he had to jump into the Yellow River to clean it up.

However, this method is risky. Wei Lang may have a small group of confidants, but the number is obviously not enough to deploy defenses on West Fourth Street, unless he mobilizes the guards of the forest.And the Yulinwei is still a good chess game in the hands of the Huo family, there is really a movement, and it is not possible that even the wind did not leak out.

There is only one half-dead person lying in Fuluge, even if he is a barbarian, if he is caught, Huo Zhun can say that he is playing a long game to lose the big fish. There is no other evidence, what Wei Lang really wants, I am afraid it will not be convincing .

After thinking about it, he dispelled most of his doubts about Wei Lang.As for the other people, after hearing what Cha Yan said, the master envoy kept emphasizing that the young master of the Huo family obviously knew that Huo Yunsheng had left the capital. It would be quicker to send a few from Lang to the outskirts of Beijing.

So at present, it seems that Zha Yan is not too suspicious.On the other side of Huo Yunsheng, in order to prevent Wei Lang from having supernatural powers to come back in time, the journey was slower on the day of departure, and it is estimated that he has not run out of Baili yet.And Huo Zhun knew very well that Tuoba Mian was in a hurry more than himself, something terrible happened, this idiot would never be so leisurely playing tricks to report that he wanted to go.

Therefore, he was not very worried, and concluded that this matter was consistent with his previous thinking. It should be that the Xianbei people encountered some troubles in Beijing and wanted to use the power of the Xiangfu to resolve one or two.Although Huo Zhun and Tuoba were polite on the surface, they actually didn't like dealing with barbarians very much, so they were a little conflicted about whether to go or not.

However, in the current situation, he was still counting on Tuoba Mian to drag the Shen family along for a while.So even if you don't go tonight or tomorrow night, you have to go sooner or later.Who makes such a thing like riding a tiger, it's easy to get up and down, God knows if Fu Luge's idiot will affect the Huo family's plan.

After hesitating for a while, I decided to go for it.The so-called sending charcoal in the snow can earn some friendship.It's really Xianbei who is in a hurry, and he can take the opportunity to save more time by helping.But Huo Zhun was cautious, fearing that Fulu Pavilion would deliberately play out of the empty city, and told the manager to investigate more.

The servants of the Huo family could only endure this pain. They wandered West Fourth Street several times, reported once every half an hour, went back and forth four or five times, and dragged it until more than half an hour before Huo Zhun said: "That's all, find two people to go with me."

In the dead of night, the road was peaceful, and the Huo family's carriage didn't even meet a patrolling night pawn.The steward led four or five people to follow for a while, then went to the front and went to the Fulu Pavilion to check again, confirming that it was still normal, and then retreated.

There are many people and things, and they all stay here, but it attracts attention.Huo Zhun was following closely, and he was also a well-known expert in the family, so he definitely wouldn't be able to stop someone lying on the bed.

What's more, he was also carrying a smoke pipe for summoning the guards of the imperial forest, once he threw it, all the paid people around him would surround him.At that time, it will only be said that Huo Xiang will not rest at three o'clock, working hard at midnight, and entering the den of thieves alone.This kind of thing is going to be famous in the book forever.

So no matter how you look at it, this trip to the dark room should not be a problem for Huo Zhun.
