Tonight is a Yuanwailang who is on duty tonight. Master Shangshu is still on vacation. One of the two servants is sick and the other is not on duty. Afterwards, I brought a few people along and played a routine around the warehouse with lanterns.
The lights drifted leisurely down the path.
The paper lantern suddenly spun, and the candle in the lantern trembled to be extinguished. Yuanwailang stretched out his hand to protect the lantern, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing over his head.
When he looked up, he saw the black shadow on the wall flashing away.
Yuanwailang was startled, and rushed over with his people, suddenly his eyes went dark, and something fell off his hood, like a sack, and he heard a faint sound of struggle behind him, as if the person he brought was also covered by a sack, Yuan Wailang wanted to call for help, but the other party cut his dumb acupoint through the sack very accurately.
Yuanwailang couldn't make a sound, his heart was a little cold, he thought, could this be the legendary acupressure? Such profound martial arts, even a few master priests in the palace can't know it, who is coming
Immediately, he felt that he was carried on his shoulders, walked for a while, then walked down for a while, threw him heavily, hit the uneven ground, and almost broke his buttocks.
Yuanwailang touched through the sack in a daze, and recalled the route along the way. He vaguely felt that he had not gone out of the scope of the Ministry of Rites. This place seemed to be a cellar for the back kitchen in the backyard of the Ministry of Rites. Didn't he just squeeze a carrot
This man took him captive, instead of killing him, he threw him into the cellar
Then Yuanwailang remembered that the Ministry of Rites used to be the compound of a nobleman in Dacheng, and the cellar was originally an ice storage cellar, which was dug extremely secretively. People who were not familiar with the Ministry of Rites, but outsiders, did not know about it.
Thinking of this, Yuanwailang's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and vaguely felt that danger was approaching, and he pressed heavily on him—the poor Qingshui yamen, what is there to worry about
Except for the Chunwei test questions.
Thinking of this level, Yuanwailang broke out in a sweat. If something went wrong with the Chunwei test questions, it would be a matter of losing his head. He hurriedly struggled desperately on the ground, rubbing against the radish, but the sack was not tight, and rolled a few times. Then they dispersed, and the acupoints were automatically unlocked. He crawled out and saw several guards trapped in the sack whimpering. He quickly let them go and went straight to the dark room where the test questions were stored.
He rushed all the way, imagining that there must be an open door and a mess, but he didn't expect that in front of him, it was calm and calm, the big iron lock on the door was safe as before, everything was exactly the same as before he was taken captive.
Suspiciously, he looked up and found nothing wrong. Could it be that those people came to the Ministry of Rites just to cover them with sacks and throw them into the cellar, and then walked away without doing anything
He was puzzled, but he couldn't find anything wrong. Before the spring started, no one was allowed to approach the dark vault where the test questions were stored, and he didn't dare to go to the ministers to open it and check it. After thinking for a long time, he had to give up.
But this man was also a cautious person, so he called a guard and reported the case to the Imperial Capital Mansion and Nine City Bingmasi. Someone came from the Imperial Capital Mansion, asked a few questions, made a record, and checked around. He didn't see any clues, so he went back.
However, Ninetowns Bingma Division impatiently dismissed the reporter.
"No loss? What are you doing here without loss? We're busy!"
"Your Master Shangshu's house is on fire!"
Wei Shangshu's house caught fire.
The fire started from all over the courtyard and spread extremely fast, almost instantly, it surrounded the entire courtyard.
This house was bought by Yan Huaishi when Feng Zhiwei first entered the official career. According to Yan Huaishi's intention, it was natural to build a big house, but at that time Feng Zhiwei firstly did not want to publicize, and secondly, he wanted to live in it for convenience. On the opposite side of the Qiu Mansion, I only bought the original You Zhongyun's house, and only entered the courtyard with a small garden. It is not big and it is easy to burn.
The fire started suddenly and violently. Fortunately, Mr. Wei came back late, and he had been rowdy for a long time because of his drunkenness. Before snatching it out, he went back to look for Mr. Wei in panic, but Gu Nanyi had already flew out with one of them.
Feng Zhiwei woke up from the daze, stared at her house in flames outside the gate, dumbfounded, her snow-white face was blackened with black paint, and she couldn't see the facial features clearly, only a pair of eyes blinked in amazement, it was very ridiculous.
The mansion of Wei Shangshu was on fire, which was naturally a major event, people from the Imperial Capital Mansion and Nine City Bingma Division rushed over almost immediately, and when they arrived, they saw Master Wei sitting on a small stool that he had just taken out, wearing only a coat and a robe, While propping up his head, he commanded to put out the fire, and quickly ordered someone to carry the fire dragon.
Taking the fire dragon alarmed the Ministry of Industry again, and then the second prince in charge of the Ministry of Industry heard about this, so he naturally wanted to express his concern for the important minister, and rushed here overnight. The Shanyue Study Room of the Seventh Prince was nearby, so he also rushed over after getting the news.
When the princes came over, they all sighed when they saw the fire, and asked again and again why it was on fire, Feng Zhiwei squinted his eyes, looking like he was still drunk, he didn't know what to ask.
The second prince looked at the fire, his expression fluctuating in the flames, and after a while he said: "Master Wei's house looks like it can't be saved, but it's nothing, Father and Emperor Ming'er knows, and he must allocate another house." , he said earlier that he would reward you."
Feng Zhiwei gathered up her soot-covered robe, and sighed desolately: "I'm homeless right now..."
The meaning of these words is obvious, the seventh prince thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Master Wei, why don't you stay with Mr. Gu at the Xiaowang's mansion temporarily, and we can also talk at night by candlelight. Mr. Wei is a state official in the court, and it is just right for Xiaowang to meet him face to face." consult."
The second prince also said: "This prince's place is closer, or Mr. Wei can go to this prince's mansion to rest temporarily." He just said this and shut up, not as enthusiastic as the seventh prince.
Feng Zhiwei rubbed his hands, hehe said with a smile: "His Royal Highness and Princess Wang are the most loving couple in the capital, it is said that they cannot be separated for a moment, I am a bad guest, how dare I bother you."
When she said this, the second prince's face froze, because the concubine had just passed away not long ago, and he hadn't remarried yet. Now it's just him and his family in the mansion, and it's the most peaceful and unfettered. Now Wei Zhi said that it's inconvenient for the seventh child, Doesn't it mean that it is convenient for him to live with him
