Chapter 210 Are you going to be an irresponsible mother?
Yan Song didn't often stay overnight at Wei's place. On the night he agreed to stay, Wei tried his best to serve him.
Especially tonight, I have to coax him to burn Taoist talismans together in the middle of the night. It is not easy for the chief minister to do this kind of thing himself, and the Wei family is even more gentle and caring.
At last midnight, she prepared the brazier with her own hands, went to the backyard with Yan Song, pricked her index finger with the tip of a needle, and then added strokes on the talisman paper, focusing on them and themselves. Daughter prays.
This small courtyard is quiet and quiet. A wintersweet tree in the corner of the courtyard is in full bloom like clouds, making it feel like a gentle countryside.
At the same time, several streets and alleys in the capital were filled with the sound of footsteps.
Yan Shu was sleeping lightly, and he woke up when the sound of footsteps rushing outside the courtyard gate broke the tranquility of the midnight.
And when the footsteps passed through the courtyard and called "Master" in a low voice towards the main room, even Mrs. Yan woke up. She sat up and asked: "What happened?"
Yan Shu put on his clothes and went to the ground: "I'll go take a look."
At the door, the woman who was keeping watch at night was leading a guard to gasp for breath. Standing in front of him: "Master, the whereabouts of the female thief has been captured, and she is near Anqing Hutong!
"In addition, the brothers discovered a house in Anqing Hutong. There were many people guarding the house in the middle of the night. The key point is that they looked very skilled. It was very strange!"
"A house?" In the first part, Yan Shushang just listened attentively, but in the second half, his eyes suddenly became sharp, "What kind of house? "
"It's just an ordinary three-entry house. Just because it is ordinary, the highly skilled people standing under the wall of the courtyard look particularly strange."
Yan Shu only paused for a moment, and then immediately. He sent the guard: "Go and saddle my horse!"
After that, he walked quickly back to the house, put on his clothes and went out.
The Yan family handles thousands, if not tens of thousands, of affairs. Over the past few decades, the people who work for them are all veterans.
The shipments of grain at Tongzhou Pier were originally carried out very secretly and could be said to be foolproof, but unexpectedly they were still being targeted.
Although no other losses were caused except the loss of some connections, after all, the more than 200,000 taels of silver compensated to the court could not be recovered. As for who is eyeing these grain ships, they haven't found out yet.
There are countless people who want to bring down the Yan family, but which group is it that has gone so far?
They found these ships so accurately!
Two months have passed, and now these connections suddenly appear again, like a rope, tightly strangling Yan Shu's heart.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Yan Shu asked everyone to dismount on the street outside Anqing Hutong, and then surrounded them on two sides, surrounding the target house by surprise.
Then he led a group of people and walked into the alley.
The moment he stopped in front of the door, He Qu and others lying on the roof in the distance quickly and quietly evacuated.
"Master, the house is quite quiet. I can't tell how many people there are. But there is a fire in their backyard, and it seems that someone is eager to destroy something!"
The bodyguards who accompanied Yan Shu came close to report.
Yan Shu listened attentively and immediately said: "Knock on the door!"
......
The Lu family's carriage carried the excited Jiang family and the silent Mrs. The two Lu Jie quickly followed the carriage that was outside the west corner gate of the Lu family. I don’t know how many turns and alleys I passed through along the way? Mrs. Jiang looked at the scenery outside and looked familiar. She couldn't help but open the curtain and take a closer look. When she saw it, she found that she had unknowingly arrived at the Anqing Hutong where her parents' home was!
Why did Lu Jia and the others come here?
As soon as this question came to mind, I saw the carriage in front of me stopped. Lu Jia and the previous man got out of the carriage and walked side by side deeper into the alley!
Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang immediately got off the carriage and followed.
Lu Jie followed behind her and followed her to the center of the alley. The two of them heard the noise coming from the front at the same time.
Ms. Jiang stopped, then quickened his pace and walked forward.
At this time, the moon behind the clouds gave off a faint light, illuminating the outline of the houses in the alley.
When Jiang saw the place where the noise came from in front of her, her heart gradually tightened. She grew up in this Anqing Hutong. It can be said that this alley is so familiar that she can walk to the end with her eyes closed!
The area where the noise came from was even more familiar to her!
"What's wrong? Why don't you leave?"
Lu Jie came to her side and began to urge her to get up. "They are obviously walking forward. There is so much noise in front of them. I wonder what happened. We should go and take a look."
Jiang glanced at him, but hesitated for a moment, then continued forward.
If her judgment was correct, the place where there was movement was the house that her mother Wei had privately purchased a few years ago.
It is really strange for Lu Jia to appear here with a man in the middle of the night, and it is even more strange that there is a noise in Wei's private residence in the middle of the night!
No matter what the reason was, she had to go take a look.
After walking forward only three to five feet, the noisy voice became clearer. It turned out that someone was banging on the door aggressively!
And where the moonlight shines, look, it's the Wei family's house! And a large group of people gathered outside the house, each holding a torch and a sword, looking like they were looking for a murderer!
Why is this house surrounded by people?
Chiang was confused for a moment.
Lu Jie stood next to him for a moment, but at this time he was also surprised: "Is it Baekhyun?!"
Suddenly hearing Yan Shu's expression, Jiang seemed to be struck by lightning The whole body was shocked!
Why would Yan Shu block Wei's door in the middle of the night?
"What is he doing here?" Lu Jie said as he looked at Jiang, and then stepped forward.
Chiang grabbed him!
"What are you doing?" Lu Jie looked at her hand on his wrist and then at her face, "Why do you look like this? Are you scared to see her here?"
Mrs. Jiang turned her gaze to his face and her chest heaved twice: "They must be doing important things here in the middle of the night. Let's go quickly and don't disturb him!"
"How could you just leave like that? Don't you want to take Sister Jia back?" Lu Jie withdrew his hand, "You are her mother, and you are responsible for her discipline. If she runs out in the middle of the night, she should hang herself. Yes, seeing that we are all here, how can we let it go?
"Then wouldn't you and I become irresponsible parents? "
Jiang's face was very hot, and her voice drifted down unconsciously: "I should have taken her back, but aren't there still outsiders here now? Do you want him to be embarrassed in front of the Yan family? ”
“Baekhyun is not an outsider either. Lu Jie said, "Sister Jia has to call uncle when she sees him." Let's go! It happened that the uncle was here and asked him to discipline the children together. ”
After saying that, he took Jiang’s back and strode forward.
