The person in charge of the night shift tonight is a foreign minister. Lord Shangshu is still on vacation. One of the two ministers is sick and has taken leave, and the other is not on duty. Although the heavy responsibility falls on the shoulders of this foreign minister, he does not take it seriously. , after the third watch, I took a few people with me and went around the warehouse with lanterns as usual.
The lights drift leisurely on the trail.
The paper lantern suddenly spun, and the candle in the lantern trembled and was about to be extinguished. Yuan Wailang stretched out his hand to protect the lantern, and suddenly felt a gust of wind passing above his head.
He looked up and saw the black shadow on the wall disappearing.
Yuanwailang was shocked and hurriedly led people over. Suddenly his vision went dark and something fell on his head with a roar. It seemed to be a sack. He could vaguely hear a struggle behind him. It seemed that the person he was bringing was also being sacked. Yuan Wai Lang wanted to call for help, but the other party used the sack to cut his dumb point with great accuracy.
Yuan Wai Lang couldn't make a sound, and his heart felt a little cold. He thought, could this be the legendary acupuncture point? Even the few worship masters in the palace can't master such advanced martial arts. Who is coming?
Immediately, I felt myself being carried on someone's shoulders, walking for a while, then walking down for a while, and then he was thrown hard, hitting the uneven ground and almost breaking his buttocks.
Yuan Wai Lang felt dizzy through the sack, and recalled the route. He vaguely felt that he had not gone outside the scope of the Ministry of Rites. This seemed to be a cellar in the backyard of the Ministry of Rites, where vegetables and other vegetables were stored for the winter. Isn't there a carrot under his butt?
This man kidnapped him and threw him into the cellar instead of killing him?
Immediately Yuanwailang remembered that the Ministry of Rites was originally a compound of a nobleman in Dacheng. This cellar was originally an ice storage cellar. It was dug extremely secretly. People who are not familiar with the Ministry of Rites and outsiders have no idea about it.
Thinking of this, Yuan Wailang's heart suddenly jumped twice. He vaguely felt that danger was approaching, and he pressed heavily - what was there to worry about in the poor and destitute Qingshui Yamen?
Except for the Chunwei test questions.
Thinking of this, Yuan Wailang broke out in a sweat. If something went wrong in the Chunwei test, it would be a matter of losing his head. He hurriedly struggled on the ground, rubbing against the carrot, but the sack was not very tight. Get out of here. After a few rounds, they dispersed and the acupuncture points were automatically untied. He crawled out and saw several guards whimpering trapped in sacks. He quickly let go and went straight to the secret warehouse where the test questions were stored.
He ran away in a hurry. In his imagination, the door must be open and it was a mess. Unexpectedly, in front of him, it was calm and the big iron lock on the door was as safe as ever. Everything was exactly the same as before he was taken away.
He went over to take a look suspiciously, but found nothing wrong. Could it be that those people came to the etiquette department just to cover them with sacks and throw them into the cellar, and then walked away without doing anything?
He was confused and confused, but he really couldn't find anything wrong. Before the Spring Festival, no one was allowed to go near the secret vault where the test questions were stored. He didn't dare to go to the ministers to open it for verification. After thinking for a long time, he had to give up. .
But this man was also a cautious person. He called a guard and went to the Imperial Palace and the Jiucheng Army and Horses Division to report the case. Someone from the Imperial Palace came, asked a few questions, and made a record. After checking, he didn't see any clues, so he went back.
Nine City Soldiers and Horses Division impatiently sent away the person who reported the crime.
"No loss? Why come here if there is no loss? We are busy!"
"Your Lord Minister's house is on fire!"
Wei Shangshu’s house was on fire.
The fire started from all over the yard and spread extremely quickly. Almost instantly, it surrounded the entire yard.
This house was bought by Yan Huaishi when Feng Zhiwei just started his career. According to Yan Huaishi's wishes, it was natural to buy a big house. But at that time, Feng Zhiwei didn't want to make public, and it was for convenience. In order to live opposite the Qiu Mansion, I only bought the original house of You Zhongyun, and only entered the courtyard with a small garden. It was not big and could be easily burned.
The fire broke out suddenly and violently. Fortunately, Mr. Wei came back late and was drunk for a long time. Everyone was not asleep when the fire started. Then he found that the drunkard hadn't been snatched out yet, so he went back to look for Mr. Wei in panic. Gu Nanyi had already caught one and flew out.
Feng Zhiwei woke up from her confusion and was stunned to see her house in flames outside the gate. Her snow-white face was so dark that her facial features could not be seen clearly. She only saw a pair of eyes blinking in shock, which was very funny.
The fire in the residence of Wei Shangshu was naturally a big deal. People from the Imperial Palace and the Jiucheng Army and Horses Division rushed over almost immediately. When they arrived, they saw Mr. Wei wearing only a medium coat and a robe, sitting in the small room that had been snatched out. On the stool, he supported his head while directing the fire extinguishing, and quickly ordered people to carry the fire dragon.
The fire dragon alarmed the Ministry of Works again. When the second prince in charge of the Ministry of Works heard about it, he naturally wanted to express his concern for the important ministers and came over night. The seventh prince's Shanyue Study Room was nearby, so he naturally got the news. Come.
The princes came over and sighed when they saw the fire. They asked again and again how the fire started. Feng Zhi squinted his eyes slightly and looked like he was still drunk, and he didn't know what to ask.
The second prince looked at the fire, his face changing in the firelight. After a while, he said: "Master Wei, it seems that this house cannot be saved, but it's nothing. My father knows that tomorrow, he will call again." If you get a house, he has already promised to reward you."
Feng Zhiwei gathered up his soot-covered robe and sighed bleakly: "I am homeless now..."
The meaning of these words was obvious. The Seventh Prince thought for a while and said with a smile: "Master Wei, why not stay with Master Gu in the Little Prince's Mansion temporarily? We can also hold a candle and talk at night. Master Wei is a scholar of the court, so it is suitable for him." Xiao Wang asked for advice in person."
The second prince also said: "My king's place is closer, or Mr. Wei can come to my palace to rest temporarily." He just said this and then shut up, not as enthusiastic as the seventh prince.
Feng Zhiwei rubbed her hands and said with a smile: "The Seventh Highness and the Princess are the most loving couple in the Imperial Capital. It is said that they cannot be separated for a moment. How can I, a nasty guest, have the nerve to bother them."
When she said this, the second prince's face froze, because his princess had just passed away not long ago and he had not remarried yet. Now he and his family were the only ones in the mansion, who were most peaceful and unfettered. Now Wei Zhi said that the seventh prince If it's inconvenient, doesn't it mean that it's convenient for him and he wants to live there?
