Chapter 481 Getting ready to leave
When Jiang Ci returned to the mansion in the evening, he went directly to the study, followed directly by Ying San.
"Master, today my subordinates met a group of carriages and horses on the way to escort Miss Yan to the Xu Mansion. Their accents sounded like people from the capital."
Jiang Ci paused with deep eyes: "Do you know where they are going?"
"My subordinates followed them. These people first went to the Xinyang Mansion Office and stayed there for more than half a day. Then they went to the post house. They must be staying there for the time being."
Jiang Ci fell into deep thought. The number of people and the time were right. The visitor went directly to Xinyang Mansion. It was obvious who the target was.
"Continue to send people to watch their every move and investigate the identity of the person sitting in the carriage."
"Yes!"
the other side
Inside the post house
Yuan An sat at the desk, and Han Yu, the commander of Xilin Guard, walked into the room holding a book.
"Taoist Master, this is the list sent by the Yamen. According to your instructions, they have recorded the students who escaped from Rongcheng and Nanwei Mansion on it. Please take a look."
Yuan An reached out to take the booklet and looked through the names on it carefully. Behind each name was a detailed record of the original place of residence and family situation.
Han Yu, who was standing aside, asked with some confusion: "Why is the Taoist priest paying special attention to these fleeing students? Do you think that person might be a scholar?"
Yuan An said coldly: "When this noble man Wen Changxing is born, he must have great talents and is more likely to be a scholar. When you went to the Yamen today to check the files, you also saw the refugees who fled from Congrong City and Nanwei Mansion. There are millions of people, and trying to find the whereabouts of that person among the millions of people is like looking for a needle in a haystack. If you look for it among these students first, the chance will be greater."
Han Yu did not understand the art of astrology, but he only knew that Taoist Yuan'an was deeply trusted by His Majesty and was indeed a Taoist priest with some cultivation.
"Since His Majesty has left this matter to the Taoist Priest, we will all obey the Taoist Priest's arrangements."
-
Ying San hurried back after leaving for an hour.
"Master, we have received reliable news from Hongyue Tower. The person who went to the government office today is Yuan An, the Taoist priest of Dengfeng Tower. The person escorting him is Han Yu, the commander of your Majesty's Xilin Guard. The purpose of their trip seems to be Looking for someone, just now the government office sent a brochure to the post office."
Jiang Ci asked: "What is the content of that booklet?"
"This is the list of students who have fled from Rongcheng and Nanwei Mansion. Master, I think this Yuan'an is here for you."
Jiang Ci's eyes were dark, making it difficult to figure out what he was thinking at the moment.
There was silence in the study. For a moment, the corners of his lips curved, and his deep pupils shone with a broken cold light.
Jiang Qiuchi might be able to hide it from the old emperor and the civil and military officials, but after all, he couldn't hide it from the demons like Dengfeng Tower. He really still has a lingering ghost.
"Master, are you going to send someone to kill them all?"
"If something happens to them in Xinyang Mansion, the old emperor will definitely become more suspicious, and more people will be sent here to find my whereabouts. There is indeed something in the demonic ways of Dengfeng Tower, even without Yuan An. There are other Taoist priests taking action."
"Then how to resolve this matter? If this Yuan An really comes for the master, won't your hidden identity be exposed?"
Jiang Ci sneered: "After we leave Xinyang Mansion, if Yuan An can't find me, he will naturally return to the capital to recover. This time we go back to see if he survives."
Things in the capital must have been settled. Taking advantage of the rift between the old emperor and Ye Lanxuan, he prepared a big gift for them.
"Madam, you are back." Aunt Zhao's voice came from the courtyard.
Jiang Ci raised his eyes and looked into the yard through the half-open window sash. When he saw a pretty figure walking towards this side, his originally gloomy expression softened a bit.
In the yard, when Aunt Zhao saw Yan Shu coming back, she smiled hurriedly and stepped forward.
"Sister-in-law Li and Mrs. Wei have already made the clothes. Can you go over and see if there is anything that needs to be changed?"
Yan Shu glanced in the direction of the study and saw the lights on in the room. He knew that Jiang Ci was back. He came back just in time. He would let him try it on later and make corrections in time if there were any problems.
"Then go and have a look."
The two went to Sister-in-law Li's room together. Jiang Ci looked away and then said to Ying San: "Is the dispatcher here?"
"Today has arrived. After we leave, the people from the Shengmen will secretly protect the safety of Miss Yan and the entire Jiang Mansion."
"Go down and call Wuming in."
"Subordinates retire."
After Ying San left, Wuming quickly entered the study.
He bowed respectfully to the river.
"master."
Jiang Ci raised his eyes and looked at Wuming.
"After I leave, you must report to me the situation in the mansion in time. Send someone to secretly keep an eye on the activities in the Yongding Marquis Mansion, especially Liu Hanyue, and try to find a way to prevent him from appearing in front of Ah Shu."
Wuming thought to himself, is the master not letting go of his enemy before leaving?
However, Liu Hanyue was indeed a difficult love rival. In front of Miss Yan, she would show weakness and pretend to be pitiful, and she looked so evil. No wonder the master would be particularly wary of him.
"Master, don't worry. After you leave, your subordinates will always protect Miss Yan and will never give Liu Hanyue a chance to sneak in!"
Seeing that Wuming understood what he meant, Jiang Ci changed the subject.
"Huan Ying is coming back soon. When he comes back, let him escort a group of weapons into the mountain."
"Yes."
-
Yan Shu checked several new clothes in Sister-in-law Li's room. Although she was a little pressed for time, the embroidery work was not sloppy at all.
Yan Shu nodded with satisfaction and looked at Sister-in-law Li and Madam Wei. Their eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes and their faces looked a little haggard, especially Madam Wei, who was already sick. Extremely weak when going up.
"Thank you for your hard work these days, Aunt Zhao. I'll pay Madam Wei for her embroidery work. Sister-in-law Li will receive an extra five cents in monthly silver as a reward."
"Yes, ma'am."
After hearing this, both of them looked happy and hurriedly saluted and thanked Yan Shu.
"Thank you madam for the reward."
"You don't have to thank me. You deserve it for being able to make the clothes in such a short time. Madam Wei doesn't look good, but have you seen the doctor?"
Madam Wei shook her head: "I already have an old problem with my body, and it doesn't get better after taking a lot of medicine, so I just stopped taking medicine."
Yan Shu walked to the table and sat down: "Let me check your pulse."
Madam Wei's face was full of surprise: "Madam, do you know medical skills?"
Aunt Zhao smiled and said: "My wife's medical skills are very good. Madam Wei, you have met a noble person."
With a look of gratitude on Mrs. Wei's face, she walked to Yan Shu and sat down, putting her arms on the table.
"Then there's Mrs. Law."
Yan Shu smiled, raised his hand and pressed her wrist to diagnose it carefully.
Looking at Wei's face, she roughly guessed that it was a gynecological problem. After diagnosis, it was determined that she had a very serious gynecological inflammation.
Because of the limited medical conditions in ancient times and her own difficult life, the condition was delayed for too long and gradually worsened.
"Ms. Wei, I would like to ask, are you and your husband harmonious in bed?"
Wei's somewhat sallow face suddenly became hot, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.
Yan Shu's heart tightened, and a bad thought flashed through his mind. Did he ask something he shouldn't have asked?
Sister-in-law Li on the side did not notice the change in the eyes of Yan Shu and Mrs. Wei. She thought that Mrs. Wei was introverted and shy, so she hurriedly explained: "Madam, I don't know. Mrs. Wei's husband passed away due to illness five years ago. Now Mrs. Wei lives with her three children, but there is no man around her."
Yan Shu:......
She really dug a big hole.
