The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1264 Reporting

"Boss... Duke Sheng has brought his men into the mansion for more than an hour and a half, and they haven't left Yongxing Mansion yet!" A man dressed in ordinary people's clothes ran to the end of the alley and reported in a low voice to a man carrying a load.

The man adjusted his felt hat, looked around cautiously, put down his burden, and took out a small booklet from his pocket. He muttered as he turned the pages, "This is the longest time he has stayed since the governor-general sent us to follow him, right?"

The man who reported the incident blew on his hands and nodded, "That's right! Don't you think this is strange? It's said that the Yongxing Marquis's Mansion and the Shengguo Duke's Mansion are not on good terms with each other, and the two brothers have been at odds for a long time! But now, it seems that the relatives who have fallen out with each other are visiting each other so frequently. "

"We don't care whether they have a quarrel or not, we just need to keep an eye on their movements!" The man carrying the load looked a little serious, "I think something is wrong. Why did Duke Sheng bring the Nine Cities Army Guards into the Marquis' Mansion? I've never seen anything like this before!"

"Could it be that they are worried that the Marquis' Mansion is not strong enough, so they are sending them there to help?" The man who was reporting sniffed and made a random guess, then said with a smile, "It can't be that Duke Sheng is leading people to attack his own brother! There is no reason... nor is there any need for this, right?!"

"Last night, I heard someone say that the Nine Cities Army Department had the City Guards increase the control over the entry and exit of the city. This morning, there were many more patrol teams from the City Patrol Department on the street. This movement seems a little strange!" The man carrying the load squinted his eyes and looked towards the direction of the imperial city. "I heard from our brothers stationed in the Governor's Mansion of the Western Sentinel Army that they haven't seen the internal guards enter the gate of our Governor's Mansion in the past two days... Take a closer look, it's very unusual!"

After sighing for a while, the man carrying the load waved to the man reporting and warned him, "Tell our brothers to keep a closer eye! Add more people to all the entrances and exits of Yongxing Marquis' Mansion, and take turns to guard them every twelve hours..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from afar. The man carrying the load immediately stopped talking. The two of them looked at each other and immediately turned into ordinary people, walking together and turning to go out.

As soon as they came out of the inner alley, they saw the patrol team of about twenty people driving away idlers outside the Yongxing Marquis Mansion. Even the two of them were stopped and interrogated when they passed by.

It seems that even passers-by are not allowed to pass.

"Boss, I see that our people have been driven away. What should we do?" The man who was reporting bowed and nodded to the people from the City Patrol, then turned around and pretended to leave in a panic, then looked at the man carrying the load with a bitter face.

The man sighed, "Unless we pretend to be the Western Sentinel Army, no matter how many of them come, we will throw them into the prison of the Patrol City! Well! Let's do this... You take a few people to watch from a distance, and I will report back to the Governor's Office. The next steps will be decided by the Governor! In the meantime, don't let your guard down! If you see that the situation is not right, send someone back to our Governor's Office to report immediately!"

……

After hearing what Sheng Xiangya said, Shu couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

The moment before, she thought that her whole family would have to leave Yongxing Marquis Mansion in disgrace, but the next moment someone told her that soaring to the sky is no longer a dream.

This, this...it really fits the saying: "When you are surrounded by mountains and rivers and think there is no way out, suddenly you see another village with willows and flowers"!
