The relatives of the Guozhang's mansion sit in the big family. From the Guozhang to Xu Yunchu, for three generations, the tree has deep roots. If one were to find a force that could rival the Great Prince's in Southern Qi, apart from the various mansions involved in Ye Chang's Rong'an Palace, it would be the Guozhang's Mansion.
After the State Head retired from the court, Xu Yunchu accepted the State Head Mansion and supported the family of the State Head Mansion. Although the edge of the State Head Mansion is not as good as before, it does not mean that the State Head Mansion without the edge has no strength.
Xu Yunchu knew how to advance and retreat, and acted in a low-key manner. If the previous Guozhang's mansion was compared to a standing tiger, then the current Guozhang's mansion is like a prone lion.
Today's Guozhang's mansion is also not to be underestimated.
Over the past few days, Xiaoguojiu of Guozhang's Mansion has been guarded by the Eldest Prince and relied on by the Eldest Prince at the same time. The two ends of the balance are extremely important.
Seeing that the shopkeeper of Qingfang Pavilion mentioned Xu Yunchu, the shopkeeper of Baoxiangzhai slapped his thigh, "You are right, we will find Xiao Guojiu from the Guozhang's residence. The business I run is spread all over the world, if we are in the open and he is helping us in the dark, then, within a month, I will be able to complete the girl's confession and short the Jinyu Bank."
The shopkeeper of Qingfang Pavilion nodded, "That's the way to do it, but how to contact Uncle Xiaoguo?"
The shopkeeper of Baoxiangzhai said, "Well, you follow the girl's plan to contact commercial banks and money houses in various places. I will hurry up and go to Beijing in person to meet Uncle Xiaoguo privately."
The shopkeeper of Qingfang Pavilion nodded upon hearing the words, "That's fine, if you want to get Uncle Xiaoguo's full support, I really want you to come to Beijing and invite Uncle Xiaoguo face to face." After finishing speaking, he said, "Don't You forgot to bring the girl's seal, otherwise Uncle Xiao Guo might not believe you."
The shopkeeper of Baoxiangzhai said, "Don't worry, Shizi Ye must have returned to Beijing when I entered Beijing. I will go to Prince Rongan's mansion first, and through the introduction of the son, with the help of the son, Uncle Xiaoguo will definitely trust me. In the beginning of the year, seals may also be forged, such as the token of the Jinyu Bank in our hands, Uncle Xiao Guo is a cautious person, and seals may not be effective."
The shopkeeper of Qingfang Pavilion said, "You are right."
The shopkeeper of Baoxiangzhai stood up and said, "It's not too late, I'm leaving now."
The shopkeeper of Qingfang Pavilion also stood up, "Be careful on your way."
The two discussed it properly, and the shopkeeper of Baoxiangzhai set off immediately, heading for the capital at high speed. The treasurer of the Qingfang Pavilion immediately contacted all the banks and commercial banks in various places, summoned a transfer order, and issued an order for the girl to empty the gold and jade bank.
Ye Chang left from the Ye family in the south of the Yangtze River, accompanied by Zifeng and Yuling. Ye Xi sent a team of troops to escort them day and night. On the way back to Beijing, they encountered three waves of men in black. Ye Chang, Chu Han dispatched a team to set up the formation. The team Ye Xi sent was very excellent. Although they were injured along the way, they also countered and wiped out the interceptors.
Those who intercepted were without exception dead men with superb martial arts, masked in black, who had swallowed bone-dissolving powder after the mission failed, leaving no trace behind.
Ye Chang didn't need to leave any evidence or traces, he knew in his heart that he was sent by the First Prince to intercept him.
The eldest prince naturally does not want him to return to Beijing, and he also understands what he is going back to Beijing for? But it couldn't stop him from going back to Beijing.
Ten days later, Ye Chang returned to the capital.
Upon receiving the news of his return to Beijing, Xu Yunchu hurried to the gate of the city to greet him.
Ye Chang was recuperated by Yu Ling with good medicine, and his injury improved slightly, but because of the long-distance travel, he was intercepted and killed, and he was not allowed to rest. His face was still pale and his body was very weak.
Xu Yunchu rode his horse to the gate of the city, just as Ye Chang's team arrived at the gate of the city, he reined in the horse's reins, and asked anxiously to Qian Han who was driving the carriage, "Really, your heir is back?"
Qianhan nodded, "Uncle Xiaoguo, it's my eldest son who has returned to Beijing."
At this time, Ye Chang opened the curtain, looked at Xu Yunchu, and said in a low voice, "Yes, I'm back to Beijing."
Xu Yunchu hurriedly got off his horse and walked to his car. Seeing that his face was pale, he was obviously seriously injured and hadn't recovered yet. He immediately asked, "Why did you suffer such a serious injury? Is the princess really kidnapped and disappeared? "
Ye Chang nodded and said to him, "Follow me back to the mansion and we'll talk about it later."
Xu Yunchu knew that the gate of the city was not a place to talk, so he nodded, got on his horse again, and followed Ye Chang back to Rong'an Palace.
When Patriarch Ye heard the news of Ye Chang's return, he quickly ordered someone to sweep the bed and open the door.
Master Wang, Mrs. Wang, Su Che and Mrs. Su heard that Ye Chang was back, and before they had time to greet him at the gate of the city, they all rushed to Rong An Palace.
Ye Chang got off the carriage, and the carriages of Wang's Mansion and Su's Mansion also arrived at the same time.
Standing at the door, Ye Chang first called out "Grandpa" to the old Patriarch Ye, then greeted the senior scholar Wang and Mrs. Wang who got off the car, and then said to Su Che and Mrs. Su, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I forgive you. I didn’t protect Nuaner well, and let her be kidnapped and taken away.”
Su Che knows that Su Fengnuan's martial arts is rarely rivaled in the world. Before she left Beijing, she had already recovered her martial arts. If someone can kidnap her, then her martial arts must be superior to hers. He immediately stepped forward and said to Ye Chang, "Don't talk about Nuan'er, she will be fine. Xiao Chang, how is your injury?"
Mrs. Su also stepped forward, "Yes, Xiaoshang, I heard that you were seriously injured, is there a serious problem?"
Ye Chang shook his head and said, "Thanks to the two uncles being by my side, my injury is not serious." After speaking, he introduced Zifeng and Yuling to everyone.
Zifeng and Yuling hurriedly greeted Patriarch Ye, Grand Master Wang, Mrs. Wang, Su Che, and Mrs. Su.
Everyone returned the gift.
After some humility, everyone entered the Rong An Palace.
When they came to the painting hall, they sat down one by one, Ye Chang looked at everyone, and told how Su Fengnuan was kidnapped that day, how the kidnapper injured him, and how Su Fengnuan was kidnapped. After all, he mentioned the letter that Su Fengnuan tied to the tit's leg along the way, saying that she was fine.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Su Fengnuan was safe and sound.
Patriarch Ye said angrily, "Who the hell is he? How can he have such advanced martial arts? Even a little girl can be hijacked?"
Ye Chang said, "Her name is Fenglai, and she is an old ancestor of Wangdi Mountain. She possesses peerless martial arts and has been involved with Concubine Xiaoxian and the First Prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty." said.
After hearing this, everyone was surprised.
Xu Yunchu said, "In this way, wouldn't it be very dangerous for the concubine to be kidnapped by such a person? Even if nothing happens for a while, then there is no guarantee that nothing will happen in the future. We must quickly find a way to rescue her."
Ye Chang said, "I didn't go to the east to rescue her, but went back to Beijing. The purpose was to restrain the eldest prince, and start from the eldest prince. Feng Lai was most likely assigned by him to kidnap Nuan'er. She went to the east to deal with the King of Xiangjun."
Xu Yunchu immediately became clear when he heard the words, "In this case, the Shizi Concubine will be fine until the King of Xiangjun is dealt with."
Ye Chang nodded, "Exactly."
Su Che sighed when he heard the words, "I really didn't expect the emperor to leave the country like this and disappear without a trace. The eldest prince is in charge of the country, and there are disasters all around. It's really worrying that the country in the Southern Qi Dynasty has reached such a point. "
Mrs. Su said, "The eldest prince is so shady, secretly instigating someone to kidnap Nuan'er to deal with the King of Xiangjun? What is he going to do? Create civil turmoil? He is not afraid that we will find out, and ask him to settle the score?"
Upon hearing this, Master Wang looked at Ye Chang, "Tell us the truth, before you and the little girl leave Beijing, what can the emperor say to you?"
Ye Chang pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice, "I didn't explain anything to me, but I gave Nuan'er a will."
"Death?" Everyone was shocked.
Ye Chang nodded, and briefly stated the content of the emperor's will. After finishing speaking, he said in a deep voice, "The will has been kept by Nuan'er. It is on her body, not on me."
Su Che stood up abruptly, "Xiaoshang, since you already had a will, why didn't you follow the will and announce it to the world?"
Ye Chang looked at Su Che, "My father-in-law wants me to take over that chair?"
Su Che looked at him, and after a moment of silence, he cupped his hands to the top, and said in a loud voice, "The emperor's imperial decree has chosen an heir for my Southern Qi Jiangshan. How can I not obey the so-called golden words? If you obeyed early, Nanqi Jiangshan It's not as critical as it is now. I don't talk about the eldest prince's personality, but he is good at engaging in many dark things behind his back, so he is not a good person to be a king or an emperor. "
Ye Chang was silent.
Master Wang took over the conversation and said, "Since there is a will, you should obey it. How can you be so nonsense? Concealing it is unfair? Although you are not a prince, you are a child of the orthodox clan. If the prince is incompetent, he will be the heir of the clan. In short, the emperor is wise and left a will, which is responsible to the people of the Nanqi country. How can you shirk the responsibility on your shoulders? Let the Nanqi country go to such a dire situation? It is outrageous!"
Ye Chang remained silent.
Mrs. Su saw that both Su Che and Grand Master Wang were referring to Ye Chang, so she quickly said, "Father, Su Che, you can't blame Xiao Chang for this. Accepting the emperor's edict is a big event. In the future, you will be on the golden throne and rule the world. It's not child's play."
Su Che said, "It is precisely because it is not a child's play that the emperor entrusts him with this burden. It is precisely because the emperor believes that he can bring peace to all the people in the Southern Qi Dynasty."
