All the Xu family were cold with Gu Fei's eyes. Even those who had stared at him before couldn't help but take back their eyes and didn't dare to look at him again.
Only Xu Jia was still fearless.
He said angrily, "Gu Fei, are you crazy to make contributions? You want to cut our Xu family?! If you dare to have a hair in our family today, even if I fight for my life, I will make you pay the price! "
Gu Fei gave orders to the royal guards as if there was no such person as Xu Jia.
"Search one by one and check one by one."
The royal guards responded in unison: "here!"
Although they have some scruples about Xu Yizhi's reputation, they have nothing to fear about Xu Yizhi's family. Since the establishment of the royal guards, there have been few dignitaries and dignitaries planted in their hands, and just a few chief and auxiliary family members are really nothing.
When the Xu family saw that these royal guards really wanted to do it to themselves, they were all frightened and shouted in horror, hoping that Xu Yizhi could protect them.
At this time, Xu Yizhi stood by and didn't mean to intervene and block.
Seeing that a few Xu family members were going to fight hard, Xu Yizhi even took the initiative to persuade them: "let them check. After checking, they'll be fine. I think I have a clear conscience. Even if they dig three feet, they can't find anything."
Seeing that he had said so, the Xu family had to wait to be searched.
Gu Fei took the list of people searched from the Xu family and began to check everyone in the Xu family one by one, even the servants.
Xu Yizhi's family relationship is relatively simple. He has no brothers and sisters or wives and concubines. His original wife died of illness in her early years. Now there is only one stepwife and four sons in the family. Originally, he has two daughters, all of whom have been married.
The four sons also have their own families and have their own children. In addition to the eldest son, the other three sons have been sent out by Xu Yizhi to become officials. They rarely come back all year round.
As a result, the Xu family now has only the eldest son and more than 20 servants, in addition to the old couple Xu Yizhi.
It can be said that the preparation of more than 20 servants in the prosperous and prosperous Bianjing city is very simple.
You should know that there are hundreds of servants alone in the family of any third-class senior. Some prefer to enjoy, and the number of slaves can even exceed 500.
In contrast, Xu Yizhi's life as the head of the current Dynasty was too simple.
Even the master and his servants had a total of more than 30 people. Even if they were checked one by one, they would soon be finished.
The result really let Gu Fei find out something unusual.
He pointed to a name on the personnel roster and asked, "where is this man named Xu Mian?"
Xu Yizhi said, "he is a steward of our family. He usually specializes in purchasing. I remember seeing him this morning. He should be here now. Did he go to the toilet?"
Gu Fei looked at the royal guards nearby.
The royal guards immediately said, "we have checked everything we can, including the toilet. There is no one named Xu Mian."
At this time, a young man beside Xu Jia suddenly thought of something and said, "Uncle Mian heard that the royal guards came, and his face suddenly became very ugly. I thought he was not feeling well. I asked him if he wanted to see a doctor, but he said there was something urgent at home. He wanted to go home immediately, asked me to ask the eldest childe for a leave, and then ran away in a hurry."
Gu Fei immediately ordered: "go and catch Xu Mian!"
"Here!"
A deputy Qianhu led a team of people to Xu Mian's house.
Gu Fei stayed at the Xu family to learn about Xu Mian from the Xu family.
It turns out that Xu Mian is not surnamed Xu. He is a child of the Xu family. His ancestors have been slaves of the Xu family for generations. In Xu Mian's generation, Xu Yizhi specially gave him the surname Xu because of his outstanding ability and accomplished several major events for the Xu family.
Xu Yizhi said: "Xu Mian is smart and capable. He is a rare talent. The only bad thing is that he is greedy for money. He usually goes out to buy goods and swallows money from them. However, because the quality of the goods he buys is very good and he is really talented, we will turn a blind eye to this matter as long as he doesn't go too far, We just don't know. "
Gu Fei said vaguely, "your family is really generous. Even such servants are willing to stay at home."
Xu Yizhi sighed: "no one is perfect. As long as he doesn't do anything harmful, what's the harm of tolerating one or two?"
"Lord Shoufu really responds to the old saying that the prime minister can support a boat. Your tolerance is really admired by the lower officials."
"Gu Zhenfu praised him."
Just when they thought of each other as snakes, the Deputy Qianhu hurried back with a team of people and horses.
As soon as Gu Fei saw them like this, he secretly cried bad.
The Deputy Qianhu said hurriedly, "report back to the town envoy. Xu Mian escaped! According to his family, he ran with a burden. He didn't run long. "
Gu Fei ordered in a deep voice: "block the city gate and search for me door to door!"
"Here!"
Gu Fei added: "if someone can provide clues to this person, he will be rewarded!"
"Here!"
The royal guards were very efficient. They quickly blocked the city gate and immediately launched a carpet search throughout the city.
At this time, the sun has set and the sky is getting dark.
The royal guards carried torches and searched door to door.
Many powerful families live in Bianjing city. They are very angry in the face of sudden search, but the other party is the famous royal guards. They dare not attack, so they can only hold their anger. They plan to participate in the royal guards book again when they go to the court next time!
This night, the royal guards turned the whole Bianjing city upside down.
At this time, Jiang Weiwei has fallen asleep.
She originally wanted to wait for Gu Fei to come back and sleep together, but sleepiness hit her. She couldn't help it all at once, so she leaned against the bed and fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was the next day.
It's dawn outside, but Gu Fei hasn't come back yet.
Jiang Wei stood up and rubbed his sore arms and neck. He wondered where Gu Fei had gone? Why didn't you come home all night?
She changed her clothes and went out to wash her face. She happened to meet Wei Chen.
Wei Chen said as soon as he saw her.
"Sister, did my brother-in-law come back last night?"
Jiang Weiwei said no.
Wei Chen said quickly: "last night, the royal guards searched the whole city. It was said that they were searching for a man named Xu Mian. This matter made a lot of trouble. It is estimated that many people will impeach their brother-in-law and the governor of Beizhen today."
Jiang Weiwei doesn't care much about the impeachment of those people. Anyway, many people form a group to impeach the royal guards every day. It is estimated that the impeachment token received by the emperor can circle the earth three times, but isn't the royal guards still good after so many years? As long as the emperor doesn't want to destroy the royal guards, even those people can't shake the position of the royal guards.
Compared with the impeachment of the royal guards, Jiang Weiwei cares more about the man named Xu Mian.
She asked who Xu Mian was? How could it be worth the royal guards to mobilize so many people to find him?
