Chapter 129 Disposal
However, Chen Yan ignored his daughter's words. Seeing that the letter had been written, he sent Chen Yuanniang back, and said to the manager beside him, "Go get the envelope you made last time."

The manager hurriedly went out.

After they left, Chen Yan turned around and entered the inner compartment of the study.

He took his personal key and opened one of the cabinets, rummaged through it, hesitated for a long time, and finally took out a few documents.

When the manager came back with several envelopes in his hands, Chen Yan didn't let him dodge. In front of the other party, he tore off the tail of the envelope, picked it up and motioned, and said, "You can see clearly, there is a lot of content in this letter." For three floors."

It turned out that the letter had openings on the front and back, but when viewed from the front, it was no different from ordinary paper seals, but when viewed from the back, it looked like a "亖" character, with a total of three layers.

Chen Yan first folded the thin documents by himself, stuffed them into the two side layers respectively, and put the letter copied by Chen Yuanniang on the middle layer, and then sealed the tail with wax.

After some actions, when the seal was opened, only Chen Yuanniang's handwritten letters and the thick gift list could be seen, and the documents stuffed in earlier could not be seen at all.

And because the paper of this envelope is very thick, it is heavy in the hand, so it is not easy for people to think too much.

"The outer two floors are filled with wicker and pavement deed papers from two streets in Baotai, as well as deeds from the two houses in Zhouxi Alley—you send in the letter and gift list first, and see how the daughter of the Zhao family reacts. , if Dang accepts it even if he accepts it, and makes a full promise, there is no need to mention the house and shop."

"If she is not satisfied with the gift list, she doesn't seem like an easy person to dismiss. Don't come back in a hurry, and then ask someone to send a message in to make some suggestions, tell her to carefully open the letter, and look at the house deed and land deed as a persuasion—— Listen Do you understand?"

The person in charge nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry, I've been serving you for many years, not to mention the rest, I still have some insight."

Chen Yan nodded, and said: "Don't wait for dawn, you take this letter outside the house now, and ask someone to send it in when there is movement in the house."

Sure enough, the person in charge should be, hurriedly hid the letter next to his body, and hurriedly called for someone to harness the horse and go out.

Seeing that the person left, Chen Yan just let go of half of his heart.

If the gift list is just a generous gift, plus the house deed and the land deed, although it is not enough to make a fortune, it is still a wealth that no one can underestimate.

In particular, he had heard from his daughter earlier that the woman surnamed Zhao was born in a business household in the capital, and her family was about to move in with her. At such a time, it would be better to give her a store or an estate than anything else, so that she could resettle her family.

No matter whether it is the outer room or not, what is the relationship with Pei Yong, even if it is a married couple, there are times when it is difficult to speak, the shopfronts in the two streets of Liutiao and Baotai are very rare, and the woman only needs to inquire about it a little, and she can find out about it. value.

In short, people must be fished out first.

Thinking of this, and recalling Chen Yuanniang's words and actions just now, Chen Yan's already unattractive complexion became even more gloomy.

Without much hesitation, he rang the bell to call his confidant over, and ordered: "As soon as the day breaks, you set off and go to Jiangzhou."

He said again: "I paid for the construction of the ancestral hall last time, and reorganized the genealogy. It should have been completed long ago——When you arrive, ask someone to send two copies. When the books are delivered, people should not come back in a hurry. , live in the clan first, look for me to see if there is a suitable adoptive person, preferably a child who has no memory. Be kind and filial, and put the rest behind."

The confidant was taken aback and hesitated: "Master, this matter... the place where the young master and the young lady..."

Chen Yan frowned and said, "You only do your job, keep your mouth shut."

The confidant said: "Of course the little one won't let it out, but if you go to Jiangzhou, the eldest young master and the eldest girl are still relatives at home, if you want to inquire about the little one, it will inevitably leak..."

Chen Yan said: "When the news from Jiangzhou reaches us, we can say whether there are any young masters or young girls."

He explained a few more words before sending his confidant out, but his family stayed in the study, thinking that the son of the village owner of the Banshui village was still in prison, and thinking of the incident caused by his cheap adopted son, and other things. The adopted daughter is so stupid, both of them have been overwhelmed with water, and the matter has come to this point, and they feel that standing is not comfortable, and sitting is not peaceful.

People can't be sent back. After all, they have been raised in the mansion for a long time and know a lot of secret things. Besides, they don't know anything. Once they can be sent back, they don't know how to spread rumors outside.

The adopted daughter is fine, she just sends out the dowry at will, if it’s really not possible, arrange for someone who can manage to recruit her to come in, give birth to a few to see if there is any one who can pull it off, as long as she can hold the spirit and throw the basin for herself, and continue the incense, the rest doesn’t matter .

As for the adopted son, Chen Jiu, it is urgent to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.

Chen Yan even felt that it would be best to put him in prison right now, so he might as well report him to death so that he could use it to bargain with Pei Yong. It is the upper hand, and it also silently eliminates its own future troubles.

It's a pity that his hand can't get in.

Chen Yan was worrying about the safety of Tian Ying's son. Seeing that the sky was getting brighter outside, a servant who had gone out to inquire about the situation finally came back in a hurry. He didn't dare to raise his head. He handed over the Chinese characters first, and said cautiously: "The little one asked I searched all over, but I can't find the origin of Li Xun anywhere, and no one knows what relationship Pei Jiedu has with him, and as for Miss Zhao from the capital, no one knows..."

"Others have seen Pei Yong coming out of that alley, and found out that Li Xun went out from the Cao Mansion. All the clues are in front of him. After going for such a long time, why do you find out this little thing for me?" Chen Yan As he spoke, he suppressed his anger and flipped through the documents he had received. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that they were just a piece of feces, which stinks even when his hands were touched. Suddenly he lost his temper, threw the volume on the table, and cursed, "I Do you raise you to eat dry food?!"

The servant was sweating all over his head, so he had no choice but to say, "I'll go and investigate again, little one."

He only paused for a moment, but he couldn't help but said: "Master, I don't know who said that Li Xun came out of Cao's house? And who did that Pei Jiedu come out of that house in the middle of the night? People can see it?"

"The little one wanted to go in and find a neighbor to ask, but before he entered the alley, there was a shop patrol staring at him, and when he went in, an escort appeared out of nowhere and followed him all the way, and he couldn't even get close, not only It's the same during the day and midnight—I just don't know which family of spies is so powerful that they can..."

Chen Yan was upright at first, and thought that this servant was looking for an excuse to escape responsibility, but as he listened, a thin layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his back and head.

In this Jingzhao mansion, he and Pei Yong are placed together, whether it is the yamen or the military camp, everyone knows which side to stand on.

Then why did the left and right military patrols dare to blatantly mention Pei Yong's name, saying that he went to visit the Zhao family's daughter's courtyard in the middle of the night?
At first, he thought that the surname Pei was acting recklessly and completely defenseless, but when he was caught by an outsider, he suddenly woke up.

Could it be... It's not that he acted carelessly, but a blatant warning to him?

If this is the case, wouldn't it be the same as pulling out a tiger's beard if he asked him to guard the alley in the middle of the night and forcefully send a letter in early in the morning?
Chen Yan panicked for a moment, and his feet were weak. Seeing that it was already bright outside, he hurriedly rang the bell and shouted: "Go and call Guanshi Chen back, saying that I have something urgent here, and tell him to come immediately, and don't do the original errand."

However, the talent took the order to go out, and before he took a few steps out of the door, he saw that steward Chen hurried in while wiping the sweat on his head and face, holding his chest with his hands, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed as soon as he entered the door: "Master , the small one was not doing well, the letter was returned after it was sent in, I wanted to make a point, and called the woman in the courtyard to open the envelope, but there was only one sentence in it..."

He hesitated and raised his head, not daring to continue for a while.

Chen Yan's heart was half cold, he just pretended to be innocent and said, "What did you say?"

"The woman said... said..." Chen Guanshi stammered, "She said... please don't waste your efforts..."

"What exactly did you say!" Chen Yan was not a fool, how could he not know that his servant had covered it up, and asked, "Forget about Pei Yong, is it that she, a woman, dares to insult the imperial court official?"

Chen Guanshi didn't dare to hide any more, so he could only say: "It's not an insult, and I don't know if the message inside was wrong, it seems to say, instead of wasting your efforts here, it's better to go back and look at Jin Xingtong...Look at yourself Whichever crime is the crime, if you honestly surrender to yourself, you will be less punished..."

Although the words were not insulting, they were even weirder in Chen Yan's ears, making his inner shirt wet with sweat and sticking to his back, and he felt chills.

After a long time, he asked, "You're back now? Have you found any other news?"

Manager Chen hurriedly said: "In addition to the small family, there was also a descendant of the Chen family who came over, and only the letter was returned. The small one was thinking of buying one of the servants to be a lobbyist, but he was invited soon. Out of the alley..."

The more Chen Yan heard it, the more ugly his face became. He knew that he had made a mistake this time, and the most troublesome thing was that he still didn't know where his mistake was.

He didn't dare to move rashly, but he didn't dare to stay still, and he said after a long time: "Let someone stare outside the alley, and then buy around his house - I don't believe that the alley is occupied by someone surnamed Zhao, then if Pei Yong dares to disturb the people like this, then There is nothing Shi Chaozhong can do about him, sooner or later I will join him!"

Manager Chen didn't dare to talk too much, so he hurried to go.

However, three times a day and two days of reporting, everyone noticed something was wrong.

It seemed that no one came in or out of the Li family's house.

Not to mention that the woman surnamed Zhao never went out again, even the servants, servants, and guards inside did not show their heads.

Don't you need to buy or eat food?

Not only that, the patrol shops that had been guarding had also withdrawn early, and the bodyguards were nowhere to be seen.

When Chen Guanshi finally ordered someone to buy a servant from other houses in the alley with a lot of money, they went to knock on the door together, but at the door of Li's house, they met Chen Zhihui who looked familiar.

The other party was followed by two servant girls, their faces were devastated, and when they saw someone coming, they just smiled wryly: "You belong to Mrs. Chen's family, right? Are you here to look for Miss Zhao? There is no need to look for her, she has already left, I don't know where she went , disappeared two days earlier.”
