Chapter 415: I don’t know the height of the sky
The two entered the pavilion.
Bai Xi saw the white fox in the iron cage at a glance. She couldn't help but say, "Ouch! Where did this mysterious beast come from! Why is it so beautiful?"
" Mom, I spent all my efforts to get this, isn't it beautiful?" Yanli said with a proud look on her face.
Bai Xi stared at her and said, "How did you get it? Have you made it clear to its owner?"
"Um... Don't worry, Mom! I bought it with money. Its owner was short of money, so he sold me this beautiful white fox." Yanli said with a smile.
Obviously, with two faces, lying has long been a common thing for her.
For her, lying is simply commonplace, without blushing at all.
Bai Xi said with a worried look, "Don't cause trouble! I heard from your father yesterday that the imperial envoy sent by the emperor will probably arrive in Jiangnan during this period. If you go to the imperial envoy, even your father will have a hard time protecting you."
"Tsk! The imperial envoy is only a third-rank official, but dad is a second-rank official in the imperial court, so there is no need to be afraid! Isn't he?" Yanli said disdainfully.
She had been pampered since she was a child, so she naturally didn't understand that although there were different levels of official positions in the imperial court, the imperial envoy held the sword of Shangfang in his hand, which was enough to kill the faint king and the greedy ministers.
So as long as Shang Fang Bao Jian takes action, even Yan Xishan, a second-grade official, will be seven points afraid.
Bai Xi had no choice but to reprimand her, "You are no longer a child. No matter what happens in the future, you must learn to be well-educated and sensible. You can't give your father any more trouble, so as not to make things difficult for him." ."
"Okay, Mom, I understand, go to bed quickly! I'll play with Bai Hu for a while," Yan Li said coquettishly.
Then she forcibly pushed her mother out of the pavilion.
Bai Xi sighed helplessly and could only silently take the maid away.
After she left the back garden, Yanli walked to the iron cage, stared at the two guards and said, "Did you do it cleanly?"
"Miss, you can rest assured. ! I sneaked into the boy's room quietly while he was gambling downstairs, and used the incense to stun the white fox out. No one noticed me during the whole process. Even if he suspected you, there was no evidence. ." said the guard standing on the right.
"That's good, now you quickly carry the white fox to the secret room, lock it up for a while, and then wait until the kid leaves." Yanli ordered.
The two guards nodded in agreement and quickly carried the iron cage to the secret room behind the rockery, where they locked the white fox and hid it.
After doing this and making sure everything was safe, Yanli went back to his boudoir to sleep.
But what she didn't know was that not long after she fell asleep, Gu Chan had already brought Ma Zheng to the outside of the Censor's Mansion.
The two of them parked the carriage aside and then walked towards the gate together.
The two guards guarding the door saw two children coming at night, and they quickly stepped forward to stop Gu Chan and the two.
Gu Chan politely clasped his fists and saluted and said, "Two elder brothers of the guards, I am here to ask to see your royal censor. Someone asked me to show him this thing, saying that after he sees it, he will see me. .”
After speaking, Gu Chan took out the small box containing the imperial envoy's official seal and handed it to the guard standing on the right.
After the guard took the small box, he said coldly, "You guys wait outside, I'll go in and take care of you."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Gu Chan said politely.
The guard immediately turned around and entered the house.
Gu and Chan waited quietly at the door. After about half a column of time, the guard who had just entered ran out in a panic, rushed to Gu Chan and saluted respectfully, and then politely led the two of them into the Yushi Mansion.
Another guard guarding the door murmured with confusion, "Why are you so anxious? What's going on!"
The backyard of the Yushi Mansion.
The guards quickly led Gu Chan and the two outside the study.
At this time, Yan Xishan was sitting behind the desk inside, looking at the seal of the imperial envoy in the small box on the table in front of him, and his expression was uncertain.
He knew early on that the imperial envoy sent by the emperor to raise border relief funds in Jiangnan would be coming in the near future, but as for who this imperial envoy was, he had no idea at all.
Just now he heard the guard say that it was two children who brought the official seal. He was even more confused. At this moment, he couldn't understand why the imperial envoy didn't come directly to meet him since he had arrived in Jiangnan City. I had to send two children over with official seals, while the imperial envoy hid in the dark. What did this mean?
While he was doubting, the guards had brought Gu Chan and the two of them to the study.
The three of them stood in front of the desk, and the guard Bing said, "Master, the two little brothers have been brought here."
"Go down! Close the door." Yan Xishan waved his hand and said .
The guard responded respectfully, quickly exited and closed the door.
Yan Xishan pointed to the chair on the left and said, "You two little brothers, please sit down!"
"Thank you, Master Censor of the Capital." Gu Chan and Gu Chan thanked each other in unison. , then walked to the chairs on the left and sat down.
After they sat down, both sides fell silent, each looking up at the other.
Gu Chan took a closer look at the Jiangnan Capital Censor in front of her. She had to admit that this man was definitely a very sophisticated and shrewd person, just by looking at the wise look in his eyes. , is enough to make people feel heart trembling.
It's as if he has the ability to see through people with just one glance, making people afraid to look at him easily.
No, Gu Chan quickly looked away after meeting his gaze for two seconds, not daring to look at him again.
The two sides looked at each other like this for a long time before Yan Xishan took the lead and said, "Little brother, where is the imperial envoy now?"
"He said he would take a walk first and then arrange for us. He left in Wanyuanfang, and now we don't know where he went," Gu Chan said, spreading his hands.
"Then you two are his followers?" Yan Xishan asked.
Gu Chan and Ma Zheng both nodded pretendingly.
Yan Xishan nodded in relief. If the two boys in front of him were followers of the imperial envoy, then it would be normal for them to come to him with this official seal.
There was just one thing he couldn't figure out, and that was what the hell these two people were talking about came to him at night.
Thinking like this, he asked, "Then what do you mean?"
"This is what the Imperial Censor said before he left. Well, after he leaves, if we encounter any trouble, let us come to the Yushi Mansion with this official seal and you will definitely give him face and help us solve the trouble." Gu Chan explained.
"That's it! Then I understand, just tell me! What kind of trouble did you encounter?" Yan Xishan said with a smile.
Gu Chan and Ma Zheng looked at each other, with a smirk on their faces.
