Chapter 12 Ruyin Marquis Mansion, Closing the Door to Catch Thieves

Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace are both located in the southern part of the city, surrounded by prominent clans.

In the next street, Huo Qubing's mansion is also in it.

The people following him looked at the plaque of the mansion in front of him - Ruyinhou's Mansion!
Even in the dark, there are still more than ten doormen outside the main entrance of the mansion, lined up on both sides, with a solemn and solemn style.

Ruyinhou Xiahoupo is the great-grandson of the founding father Xiahouying.

In addition to inheriting Yu Yin from his ancestors, he also has another identity, that is, the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

At this time, Cao Shou, Marquis of Pingyang, had died of illness for seven or eight years, and Princess Pingyang, the elder sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, remarried and married Xiahou Po, Marquis of Ruyin.

That Xia Jie hid in the Hou Mansion? !

Yao Zhao, Song Ran, and Xiao Ying all felt nervous.

The status of Princess Pingyang is rarely matched by anyone in the dynasty.

Even Huo Qubing's biological mother, his aunt Wei Zifu, was just a singer in Princess Pingyang's house in her early years, that is, a singer.

It was because of Princess Pingyang's arrangement that Liu Che, who came to her house as a guest, saw Wei Zifu, so he was favored and eventually became the queen.

Huo Qubing's uncle, Wei Qing, was originally a riding slave of Pingyang Houfu.

... No wonder that Xia Jie dared to go back to the city, she hid in the Ruyin Marquis Mansion, no one would have thought of it, and no one would have dared to investigate.

"What should we do?" Yao Zhao asked in a low voice.

"What to do, of course go in and arrest people." Huo Qubing remained calm.

He followed Liu Che day and night, knowing a lot of inside information that ordinary people don't understand, and he had already made a decision amidst his ups and downs.

Song Ran dissuaded: "Huo Shizhong has the right to meet His Majesty at any time..."

What she meant was that since Princess Pingyang and Marquis Ruyin were involved, Huo Qubing might as well inform His Majesty first, and make a decision based on the emperor's attitude.

"Marquis Ruyin and Princess Eldest should not be in the city." Huo Qubing said calmly.

Everyone looked at each other, even if the two were not there, it was not a small matter to trespass on the Hou's mansion.

After Huo Qubing finished speaking, he walked up the steps immediately.After Yao Zhaohe entered the city, he jumped onto the wall and jumped over the eaves, and the big cat who had just come down at this time followed.

Song Ran and Xiao Ying glanced at each other, and then walked towards the gate of the Hou Mansion.

"Who is coming?"

The porter saw Huo Qubing and others approaching, and asked.

"I was ordered by the emperor to track down the murderer who killed the lieutenant of the Northern Army. The servant Huo Qubing came here. Open the door." Yao Zhao stepped forward.

"Servant? Do you know where this is, so you dare to come and arrest someone?"

Several concierges, the leader is a thin middle-aged man, standing in front of everyone.

The seventh-rank official of the prime minister's house, this porter welcomes and sees off many dignitaries, but it has a bit of momentum.

It's just in the wrong place.

Huo Qubing climbed up the steps and walked straight to the door: "Those who block the way are with the criminals!"

The concierge was stunned for a moment, apparently he had never seen such a domineering person, and he was justified in rushing into the Hou's mansion.

Behind Huo Qubing was the elite of the Chang'an Guards, their momentum was in their direction, and there was a terrible pressure of fighting in battle.

The porter hesitated and reached out his hand to stop him, but Yao Zhao pushed him away, and watched Huo Qubing drive straight in with his men.

"Quickly go and notify Liu Neishi."

Liu Neishi is a person close to Princess Pingyang. He was born as a royal servant and is in charge of the internal and external affairs of the Hou Mansion.

Marquis of Ruyin and Princess Pingyang are away, so Liu Neishi takes the lead in the mansion.

Huo Qubing walked into the Hou's mansion, and walked straight through the atrium by feeling.

But before he entered the back house, he was stopped head-on by an old man in his fifties in dark brown clothes and several guards in the mansion.

"I don't know who dared to break into the Hou's mansion. It turned out to be Huo Shizhong."

That old man is Liu Neishi, he said with a smile on his face.

"Huo Shizhong forgot his background, and thought that he would dare to lead someone into the eldest princess's mansion because he was working by His Majesty's side?"

"Liu Huai is dead, and the murderer is here. If you don't let me, I'll take you too." Huo Qubing remained expressionless.

"you dare!"

Liu Neishi was surprised and angry: "This is the mansion of the Marquis of Ruyin, and also the mansion of the eldest princess. If you dare to trespass, the princess will come back, let's see who can protect you."

"Take it."

Huo Qubing waved his hand, and the Han army behind him agreed abruptly. Under the impact of the powerful momentum, all the guards in the mansion shuddered at the same time.

"You little servant, dare to break into the princess mansion!"

Liu Neishi sternly said: "Do you dare to let him do whatever he wants, and don't you want to kill yourself?"

At this time, Liu Neishi and others were surrounded by Yao Zhao's troops.Huo Qubing quickly walked through the courtyard and finally came to a courtyard.

Liu Neishi and others were imprisoned and followed behind.

Seeing the courtyard where Huo Qubing stopped from afar, Liu Neishi turned his eyes slightly and raised his voice: "Huo Qubing, if you insist on framing a murderer in the Hou's mansion, I can't stop it, but what if you can't get someone to take care of?"

"In the courtyard in front of you, a servant woman in the mansion is seriously ill and lives alone in the courtyard. She hasn't left the courtyard for half a month.

Could it be that the murderer you speak of is a sick woman?
You impose crimes on my Marquis Mansion, I will report this matter to the princess, and I will not have anything to do with you..."

The courtyard in front of Huo Qubing was silent without any movement.

In the room, a woman with a sallow complexion was originally lying on the couch, which was Xia Jie's disguise.

She exhausted all means and thought that no one would be able to track her down, so she went back to Ruyinhou's Mansion to hide, ensuring her own safety.

But she never expected that as soon as she returned to the Hou's mansion in secret, she heard movement from outside the yard, and the voice of Liu Neishi questioning Huo Qubing immediately caught her ears.

"They have chased here..." Xia Jie was taken aback.

She dared to go back to Chang'an precisely because her hidden identity in the Hou's Mansion was safe enough, unexpectedly Huo Qubing chased after her before she could stand still.

Xia Jie got off the couch, leaned over and dragged out a woman lying upright from under the couch.

The woman's face was pale and she was dressed as a servant.

Looking closely at the shadow under the bed, there was actually another person lying there on his back.

The scene in this room is extremely strange.

Xia Jie's hand was like lightning, she stuck out her index finger, her nails instantly grew wildly, piercing the woman's forehead like a sharp blade.

The woman was in pain, so she suddenly opened her eyes and stared straight at Xia Jie.

The next moment, the woman opened her mouth wide, as if she was in extreme pain and wanted to scream, but her body trembled but she couldn't make a sound.

In the time of two or three breaths, the woman's whole body was covered by a faint green breath from the forehead down.The woman's mouth was wide open, her face was ferocious, and she was already out of breath.

Xia Jie sneered: "If you dare to chase me, you will all die!"

She lifted her finger from the woman's body, came to one side of the wall, pushed hard, and a high wooden cabinet slid sideways, revealing a secret passage leading to the ground.

There are secret passages in the Hou's mansion, ready to be used in case.This is the standard equipment in the homes of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and it can be directly connected to the outside of the house.

Xia Jie immediately wanted to enter the secret passage.

The woman who just killed can help her delay time.

At this time, Huo Qubing who was outside suddenly responded to Xiao who was beside him through the perception of opening and closing: "Take a group of people to the east of the Hou's Mansion, at the end of the adjacent long street, there is the secret passage exit of the Hou's Mansion nearby, you wait in advance That."

Xiao Ying responded, immediately dispatched his staff, and left quickly.

Not long after the crowd left, Huo Qubing's book of war unexpectedly changed, and a new slide was opened, with the words "close the door and catch the thief" appearing: The enemy is trapped.Peeling, there is a disadvantage.

It means to try to surround or annihilate a weak or small enemy.

Closing the door and catching thieves is one of the strategists' strategies to deal with the enemy, to force the weak.It is roughly equivalent to the common and commonly used encirclement and annihilation warfare, pocket formation, etc.During the Warring States period, Sun Bin and Pang Juan used this strategy in the battle of Ma Lingdao and the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping.

Sure enough, as long as I make arrangements that meet the conditions for using the strategy, the knowledge of sea tactics may change... Huo Qubing thought to himself.

At this time, Xia Jie in the room opened the secret passage and was about to escape, when Huo Qubing immediately launched an offensive.

The Soaring Snake merged with the spirit and came out of the body. The terrifying spiritual power seemed to be roaring like a tidal wave, instantly flooding the courtyard in front of it.
