As the sun sets in the west, it is the time for fireworks in the world.
Fifty percent of the soldiers and horses came to the outside of Shichanghou's mansion with more than a dozen elite soldiers.
"You two are guarding at the gate of the mansion. You two are guarding at the back door, and the others are guarding in all four directions."
This time is exactly the time for the lower office.
Many officials passing by were very surprised when they saw this scene.
I couldn't help but ask the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division: "Master Liu, why did you lead the troops to surround the Shichang Hou Mansion...?"
It was said that it was heavily surrounded, but these few soldiers did not count as being heavily surrounded.
But it is indeed surrounded. What does this wave of operations mean
The Wucheng Bingma Si said with a serious face: "I'm just following orders."
Everyone didn't get the answer, so they naturally had all kinds of guesses in their minds, and then they all wanted to find out more when they went to the Yamen tomorrow.
So when the lantern was held, everyone in the capital knew that the Shichanghou Mansion was surrounded by "heavy troops"!
Second Prince's Mansion
The second prince snorted coldly: "It seems that my father trusts Shichanghou's family very much!"
The Minister of Punishment nodded: "Second Prince, this matter was suggested by the Minister of Dali Temple in front of the Emperor. On the surface, the Emperor is putting Shichanghou's family under house arrest, but in fact he is protecting Shichanghou's family."
The second prince was naturally Ang Bai. His father's operation was done for all the civil and military officials of the dynasty to see. After all, as an emperor, he also needs to act in accordance with the law.
"In a few days, the officials who were involved in the imperial examination and martial arts will be escorted back to the capital. I heard that there is an eldest nephew of Marquis Shichang? You should examine it carefully. The two sons of Marquis Shichang are so young, one is the number one scholar, and the other is the third flower! This prince Why didn’t you know that taking the imperial examination is so easy now?”
The Minister of Punishment smiled and said: "I will interrogate you strictly!"

Wen Ran and Feng Nianchen dragged their exhausted bodies out of the carriage outside the Shichang Hou Mansion.
Today, in the name of follow-up consultation, they began to visit all the houses of ordinary people in the capital house by house.
I am really exhausted from running out every day these days.
Xiaobai has lost a lot of weight!
As soon as Wen Ran got off the carriage, he saw two soldiers guarding the door of Shichanghou's mansion.
Wen Ran pointed at the two of them: "What are you doing guarding my door?"
Feng Nianchen glanced around and his eyes turned cold: "What's going on?"
Is the entire Shichanghou Mansion under surveillance
One of the people who came to guard the gate was Zhao Chen, the son of the minister of Dali Temple, and the other was Liu Han, the nephew of the Wucheng Army Commander.
In order to prevent their wealth from flowing to outsiders, they both sent their own son and the other his nephew over for personal gain.
The Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division wanted to send their son, but his son went to the front line!
Zhao Chen had wanted to get advice from Princess Hui'an for a long time. He knew that this was Princess Hui'an's little sister, so he said respectfully: "We are here to protect the Shichanghou Mansion on the orders of the emperor! It's better for the girl to go out as little as possible these days!"
Wen Ran was confused: "Why?"
Is their family under house arrest
Feng Nianchen: "Is this the emperor's intention? I will go into the palace to ask for the emperor's instructions."
At this time, the door of the mansion opened, and Wen Jiarui waved to Wen Ran and Feng Nianchen: "Sister Ran, Nianchen, come in and talk."
The two looked at each other and walked in.
main hall
Wen Jiarui told Wen Ran and Feng Nianchen what the emperor said to him.
"The emperor said that the purpose of sending troops to guard us is to protect us, not to put us under house arrest. Let's not go out recently! To avoid making things difficult for the emperor."
Wen Ran became anxious after hearing this: "How can that be done? I haven't even found out who holds the bloody veil!"
Feng Nianchen sneered: "Don't worry, girl, I will continue to take Xiaobai to the free clinic tomorrow."
Which stupid son of the emperor did this stupid thing
If Nuan Yatou intentionally leaks the military plane, they think the soldiers of the imperial court will still be able to come back alive!
Humph, don't let that girl know who slandered her, or you'll die without knowing it!
Wen Jiarui was also worried about this: "Nianchen, you are so close to us, will this matter affect you?"
"Uncle Wen, don't worry, it won't happen. Your Majesty is a wise king, and things will come to light soon."
"hope so!"
At this moment, Wen Jiarui deeply felt that it was extremely cold at the top!
There are actually many people in the court who are jealous of their family and are not convinced.
Had dinner.
Wen Ran came to the guest house, collapsed on the rocking chair in the yard, and said to Granny Nan: "Grandma Nan, we have walked three streets today and still haven't found anything. Could it be the smell of blood drops on the handkerchief? It’s all gone, and Xiaobai can’t even smell it!”
Granny Nan looked up at the starry sky and said without blinking: "No. The blood used for the technique is all contained in magic vessels, which has the effect of keeping it fresh."
"Magical weapon? What does that magical weapon look like?" Wen Ran sat up.
Granny Nan: "It can be whatever you like."
Wen Ran: "..."
Miss Xiao Nan thought for a moment: "Sister Ran, have you been discovered by the enemy? If he hid the veil under the water, Xiao Bai would not be able to find it. Water can isolate the smell! Sister Wen Ran, what do you think? Who do you think is the most suspicious? Then try it out!"
Wen Ran sat up and said, "Putting it under water can block the smell? Is this true? I'll try it!"
Wen Ran immediately took the piece of cloth stained with warm blood, put it in a sealed bottle, and threw it into the water tank with golden lotus in the yard for Xiaobai to find.
Xiaobai really couldn’t find it this time!
"So maybe someone has really noticed it! Brother Feng, who do you think it could be?" Wen Ran picked up a small bottle from the water tank.
Xiaobai immediately barked "woof" at the bottle twice.
"The most likely one is the second prince's concubine." Feng Nianchen shook his folding fan and said.
Wen Ran also thought so: "Brother Feng, why don't you go to the Second Prince's Mansion tomorrow?"
The pulse of the second prince's concubine was too weird, as if she was hiding something.
She is not normal!
Feng Nianchen knocked her on the head: "Stupid, if you go any further, you will really alert the snake! I will take Xiaobai to visit all the ordinary people's houses. If there are none, on that day when the dog eats the sun, we only need to focus on the suspected one." Isn’t it enough to just have a few?”
Wen Ran touched his head: "That's right!"
south
Nuan Nuan and Nalan Jinnian were having breakfast in the tent.
Breakfast is the same as that of the soldiers, coarse grain steamed buns and white porridge.
Now they have roughly found out how many soldiers there are in Qingsen City!
Three hundred thousand, a total of three hundred thousand troops, and about a million civilians.
If he forced an attack on the city, King Huainan would definitely push out all the ordinary people to die.
So they were not in a hurry, waiting for the enemy troops in the city to run out of food and jump over the wall in a hurry.
If the soldiers have no food, they will naturally take it from the people. The people are surrounded and have no food. If they have no food to eat, there will naturally be conflicts between the two.
When the people were disgusted with the Huainan King's soldiers and were no longer suppressed, they would take action. The people would also take the opportunity to resist!
This is how you get twice the result with half the effort!
The two were discussing the attack on the city, and Xiao Zu flew in.
Nuan Nuan touched Xiaozui's head: "Xiaozui is so awesome. He went back and forth so quickly! What news did you bring back?"
At this time, Nalan Jinnian reached out and untied the note from under Xiao Zi's wings, opened it, and his expression changed.
