"I see!"
After listening to Ding Ze's narration, Xu He suddenly realized.
When Zhang Lan first came to Beijing twenty years ago, he worked as a teacher in the Yanzhou Prefecture for a period of time.
Large families in Beijing often have a tradition of inviting people from Beijing to serve as their teachers.
Juren may also have chosen to stay in Beijing and find a living because he failed in one subject and traveling back and forth was too time-consuming and expensive.
The two hit it off immediately.
Since Zhang Lan worked as a teacher at Uncle Yanzhou's house, he must have just been...
However, Yu Ji never expected that Xu He only went into the inner room twice and found out the big problem in Yongzhou Guard.
"Have you told Commander Guo about Yongzhou Guard and Qu Er?"
"I told you. Commander Guo said that he will ask Commander Dong from Nanzhen Fusi to send someone to investigate!"
"Um!"
As long as Dong Rui finds clues, and then combines them with the archived documents of Huguang Xingdu Division, he will be able to use this to open a hole in the former military governor's mansion. By then, it will be much easier to do things.
Thinking of this, Xu He said to Ding Ze: "Thank you for your hard work, let's go and rest first!"
Xu He had just finished handling the matter at hand and was about to return to the backyard to rest.
Who would have known that at this moment, Liu Biao hurriedly walked in: "Consort, there is a leak in the direction of the former Army Governor's Mansion!"
"Um?"
Xu He stood up with a groan and walked to the courtyard. There was already a young eunuch waiting on him holding the wooden ladder.
Xu He climbed up the wooden ladder, and sure enough, the former Army Governor's Mansion a few streets away was ablaze.
His heart sank, and an ominous premonition emerged in his mind.
"Prepare the car!"
After thinking about it, Xu He said to Liu Biao: "Call Ding Ze and ask him to bring a dozen people with him!"
The noise outside became louder and louder. The "Red Shop" of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the "Fire Soldiers" of the Beijing Camp held torches and gathered towards the former military governor's mansion from all directions in the city.
There are 112 red shops in Beijing. Each shop has ten firemen, and the chief is responsible for regional fire prevention.
Each shop also has a shop head, and they will ring the bell in case of fire or theft.
The fire brigade is a professional fire brigade of this era, affiliated to the Beijing Camp. Once there is a fire in the city or a fire breaks out in the government office, the Jingying Fire Soldiers will rise up upon hearing the gong and rush to the scene of the incident.
At this time, candlelight and torches were lit in every household in the city, and there was movement in the backyard of the princess's house.
I saw the princess and Sister Gu all coming down to the courtyard with the help of servants.
"Husband-in-law, what happened? Is it so noisy outside?" The princess looked at her husband on the wall, eager to go up and take a look, but with so many servants present, she hesitated.
Sister Gu listened worriedly to the noise outside. After a while, she frowned slightly and said, "It's gone!"
"Take a walk? Where is it?" Zhang Huiheng stepped on his feet, stretched his neck and said to Xu He, "Consort, show me, I want to see too!"
Xu He heard the noise and got off the ladder with a calm face.
At this time, the two women realized that Xu He's expression was wrong.
Sister Gu asked: "What happened?"
Xu He glanced at the two women: "The former military governor's mansion is on fire!"
"Former Military Governor's Mansion?" The two women were surprised at the same time!
At this time, Ding Ze came to the outside of the courtyard with about ten people, holding sticks in their hands. Ding Ze said: "Consort, everything is ready!"
Xu He nodded and said to the two women: "You go back and rest while I go out!"
"Where to go?" asked the princess.
Sister Gu stopped him and whispered something in the princess's ear.
When the princess heard this, she looked at Xu He worriedly and said, "You, why don't you go? We'll talk about it tomorrow!"
Xu He smiled and knew that when Sister Gu saw the former military governor's mansion, she would burn it sooner rather than later. She burned it the next day after taking office. There must be something weird about this, so she reminded the princess!
"It's okay, I brought about ten people from home, don't worry!"
The princess said: "No, Liu Biao, please bring some people with you and follow the consort!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Xu He wanted to say no, but after thinking about it it was better not to worry his family, so he acquiesced.
At this moment, Liu Biao came out with four or five more young men who were dressed differently from ordinary eunuchs.
These people were all wearing close-fitting shorts and holding knives in their hands. When Zhang Huiheng saw this, he felt relieved and said: "These are the masters of the internal military that Uncle Zheng gave me! You take them with you, and I will feel relieved!" "
Xu He looked at these four or five people in surprise. He didn't expect that there was a famous internal army in his house.
It is said that these people are all brave little eunuchs selected from the palace and trained since childhood.
It is specially used as the last line of defense for the nobles of each palace.
Seeing that everything was ready, Xu He got on the carriage: "You all go back and rest! I may not come back tonight!"
"Be safe!" the princess warned.
Sister Gu didn't speak, but her eyes were full of worry!
The door of the house is open, and the dark street outside is like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, ready to devour anyone at any time.
Ding Ze led people with torches out of the princess mansion and lit up the street. Only then did Xu He feel a little more at ease.
The car slowly drove out of the alley, and the soldiers and firemen who were beating gongs and bells outside had already gone away. It was midnight, and there was no one on the street. After walking for a while, they arrived at the gate of Tong'anfang.
The soldier guarding the gate shouted loudly and asked: "Who? Don't you know the curfew?"
It turns out that since the bandits entered the customs continuously in the past two years, the capital has been under three policemen for five years, so a curfew has been imposed and no entry or exit is allowed at night.
But as long as it's not heading towards the imperial city, the defense of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion is still useful.
Xu He asked Ding Ze to take his name card over.
When the other party saw that it was Xu He, the current number one scholar and the consort, he rushed to the former army governor's house, and the soldiers quickly opened the gate to let him go.
Xu He walked out of Tong'anfang under the escort of a group of people. The team became quiet again. At this moment, Xu He suddenly heard a muffled sound of "Du" in his ears. He turned around and saw only an arrow. The wooden board of the carriage nailed to the side of his head was vibrating and buzzing.
Outside the car, Ding Ze shouted: "There is a thief!"
"Quick, protect the carriage!"
"Don't stop, keep going! Don't stop!"
There were a lot of chatter outside.
Ding Ze said nervously outside the carriage: "Husband-in-law. Are you okay?"
Xu He was greatly shocked. This was the first time since he came to this world that he was so close to death.
He said in as calm a voice as possible: "It's okay!"
"ah!"
"ah!"
Another crossbow shot came, and two screams rang out from the people guarding Xu He's carriage outside the carriage.
A sharp voice came from the inner army: "The assassins are on the east wall! Someone is coming from the south alley, ready to meet the enemy!"
When Xu He heard this, he was shocked. There were people on the wall and there were people blocking the front. This meant that he was sure to go to the Former Military Governor's Mansion that night.
This fire is the evidence of destruction and the bait to lure him here.
So calculating, so cruel!
In Beijing, he had just launched his attack, but the other party dared to directly attack him.
Who is it?
Yu Ji, is that you?
