Chapter 416: Searching for People in the General's Mansion
The woman was crowded by several people. When she heard this, her pale face twitched. She subconsciously touched her face. Compared with these women, she was not much older...
"Aunt, please hurry up and gather in the front hall when you're ready."
"It will be fine in a moment."
Sophora japonica is calling.
The woman was pushed into the inner room, and the maids wiped her hair, undressed her, and washed her face, with a clear division of labor.
The woman's eyes moved with the crowd. She had also heard about General Beili. It was rumored that he had many concubines. Now seeing him, she had to say that General Xiang had a good eye.
The concubines were all graceful and seemed to be knowledgeable in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and so many women seemed to get along very harmoniously.
Is this normal?
Not only harmonious, but also so obedient to the little baby?
In a blink of an eye, the woman changed her mind. The baby was so powerful, how could he not be able to deal with the weak concubine.
At the gate, there were more than a hundred soldiers searching, led by the Left General of the Ministry of War. As soon as the servant opened the door, the Left General had someone push it open.
"Why are you opening so late?" General Zuo stepped in and asked coldly.
"Our general is not here, and the eldest daughter in the mansion is timid. The officials have to be gentle when searching." The servant said, bending down.
"Easy? If we let the thieves get away, I'm afraid none of your General's Mansion can afford it." General Zuo coldly rebuked: "Come here, bring everyone in the General's Mansion to the front yard and interrogate them one by one. Check every corner of the mansion thoroughly and don't let any one go unpunished."
"yes."
The guards all obeyed the order.
"Wait." Master Zhan came hurriedly with Madam Zhan.
The left general was slightly startled when he saw the two of them. He stepped forward and made a false salute: "Master Zhan, why are you here, Madam Zhan?"
"General Xiang is not here, so as his uncle, I should go into the mansion to look after him. There are children in the mansion, so General Zuo should not make too much noise." Zhan Yi stroked his beard and spoke in a deep voice.
The Left General was not unaware of the relationship between the Zhan and Xiang families in Kyoto. They had not had any contact with each other for many years, so it was abnormal for them to suddenly become so close.
"Behead my lord! I am also under great pressure to obey the emperor's order. Something very important has been lost in the palace. If I don't search thoroughly, I will be the one who suffers."
"General Zuo, I'm afraid you don't understand what I mean. You can search, but don't make too much noise and don't damage the things in the mansion. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, just take him out and chop him up."
Before Master Zhan could finish his words, a clear and soft voice was heard.
"Fatty." Madam Zhan called out.
General Zuo frowned and took him out to chop him into pieces?
The little kid is so arrogant.
Ye Qianning walked over with short legs, and Zhan Chi, who had changed his clothes, walked beside her.
"The emperor sent you to search every house, but he didn't send you to smash things every house. You can search, but if anyone breaks anything, don't even think about leaving this door today." The childish voice sounded particularly pleasant in the night.
"Little baby, you..."
"Hey, General Zuo, don't talk back to her. If she gets angry, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave." Zhan Yi hurriedly held down General Zuo who was talking back.
“…”
"General Zuo, you'd better tell your men to be more cautious." Zhan Chi glanced at him lazily.
General Zuo's eyes moved and he looked at Ye Qianning. The matter of Miss Xiang's family has been widely circulated recently. It is said that the emperor even issued an imperial edict two days ago.
After thinking it over, he calmed down and nodded: "Okay, everyone, gather everyone in the front yard. Be careful when searching and don't damage anything."
"yes."
The guards responded and dispersed towards the backyard.
