The eldest son of the red mansion

When the city gate officer saw the eunuch leaving, he immediately reported to the higher authorities, and at the same time gathered all his subordinates near the city gate, ordering them to draw their swords out of their sheaths and put their bows on their bows, and guard tightly around the city gate.

And Wang Yi, who was not far away, regretted seeing this for a while. If he hadn't been too cautious just now and observed for a while, he would have already left the city gate.

The old butler next to Wang Yi saw that something was wrong, and said, "Master, we still have a contact point near the south gate. Why don't we go there first to avoid the limelight."

Wang Yi nodded, this is the only way to go now, if he wants to go back to the mansion, he is throwing himself into a trap.

So Wang Yi and the butler disappeared into the crowd along the alley.

Although Wang Yi and the others thought it was a secret this time, they didn't know that there were spies from the secret guards all around them, and their every move could not escape the eyes of the spies.

Wang Yi and the housekeeper came to a small alley, and there was a grocery store in the middle of the alley. Wang Yi and the housekeeper did not enter the grocery store through the main entrance, but walked through the back door, and knocked on the door seven times in a row with a special rhythm.

It didn't take long to open the door inside, and an ordinary woman poked her head out. She didn't recognize Wang Yi at first glance, but she recognized the housekeeper when she looked back.

The butler didn't say much, he just waved his hand inside, and the man understood, and hurriedly moved out of the way to let Wang Yi and others go in.

After Wang Ying and the others came in, the lady immediately closed the door, and then turned around to ask the housekeeper, "What's the matter, chief executive?"

The housekeeper didn't say much, but ordered: "We are here, we can't let anyone know."

The lady agreed, and then hurriedly let Wang Yi and the housekeeper to a remote house.

When Wang Yi entered the house, he saw that it was very simple, but now it happened to be a hiding place.

Seeing that Wang Yi had already settled down, the old housekeeper hurried out and said to the woman, "Tell the person in charge, if anyone comes to ask, just say that no one has come here these days, and I haven't seen outsiders."

The woman glanced inside, then nodded, and then backed out.

Wang Yi asked the butler when he saw the lady had left, "Is this family reliable?"

"Master, don't worry, the owner of this grocery store, his father is a secret agent under the old prince's command. He inherited his father's position. He has been working hard all these years and never betrayed him in any dangerous situation. If he is loyal, he may be more loyal than me. Not too bad."

Wang Yi nodded after hearing this, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Now lying on the bed, he just feels weak all over. Over the years, he has never encountered such a dangerous situation today.

Seeing Wang Yi's situation, the old housekeeper hurriedly said: "Master, rest here for a while, I will ask them to prepare tea and rice for him."

Wang Yi waved his hands weakly, and then lay on the bed without moving.

The old butler sighed, went out of the room, and came to the front yard, where he saw the woman preparing meals.

The old butler went up to have a look, and saw that there was nothing there, mainly a few plates of vegetables, and the only meat was a plate of fried pork with potatoes.

Seeing the old housekeeper coming, the woman said with some embarrassment: "Don't be offended, old housekeeper. Our family has nothing to entertain, so we can only use these meals to entertain the nobles."

The old housekeeper could only nod his head, he knew that these people were not rich, and it was considered an exception to be able to prepare a plate of meat dishes.

"Now it can only be as simple as possible, and prepare a pot of porridge. At night, the nobles will eat porridge."

"Old butler, please go back and rest, I will prepare right away."

The butler walked around the kitchen again, seeing that there were no flaws, he left contentedly.

As soon as the old butler left, he poked his head out from behind the porter, and gave the woman a wink.

The woman walked a few steps in the direction where the old butler was leaving, and looked out with her head. Seeing that the old butler had indeed turned back, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to the person who stuck her head out.

Chapter 705

The person who came in from behind the door was a middle-aged man with a very simple and honest look on his face, which made it easy for people to relax their vigilance.

The man came into the room and asked the woman softly: "In the room, the man who came with the old housekeeper, you can see clearly, is he a nobleman?"

The lady glanced at her, and then said: "With my eyes, anyone can see that he is almost inseparable."

"Although this young man is wearing ordinary civilian clothes, his whole body is skinny and tender. The old butler is standing beside him, like a servant. Such a person is nothing but a nobleman."

The middle-aged man who came in lowered his head and thought for a while before saying: "We have been in this business for two lifetimes. To be honest, I worry about it every day. I haven't had a good night's sleep for so many years."

The woman also sighed after hearing this, and tears kept rolling in her eye sockets, "If it weren't for this business, our son would be able to marry a wife and have children now."

The honest middle-aged man was also a little sad when he heard this. Finally, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind and said: "Just now I saw the yamen servants searching around on the street. I thought they were arresting some important criminals. These two people are probably the ones the court wants to take."

After the woman heard this, a fierce light appeared in her eyes, "I don't want to live this day, since this is the case, I will fight with you once, if it succeeds, we will hide our names and live in peace In the next life. If it doesn’t work, I will go to hell with you.”

"Okay, those in the house, I'm afraid they will leave suddenly halfway, and then our previous efforts will be wasted. You secretly put the medicine we prepared on these two people. After they are paralyzed, we will tie them up again. Going to report to the official will be safe."

The woman nodded, then went to a corner of the kitchen, picked up a brick from the ground, there was a small hole in the bottom, and then took out a porcelain altar, from which some white bricks were dug out with a spoon. Powder comes.

The middle-aged man standing next to him looked at it and said urgently: "It's a bit low, add more."

The woman turned her head and gave her a white look and said: "If you eat more, the taste will come out, and this is enough for them. When you deliver the food later, take some antidote in advance, I'm afraid that when the time comes The old butler let you taste it first."

The middle-aged man nodded, then left the kitchen and went back to the main room.

After a while, the woman prepared the meal, and then called her head to send the meal to the back.

The middle-aged man dragged his food, took a deep breath, and then showed that simple and honest smile on his face.

The middle-aged man dragged his food to the remote hut at the back. He knocked lightly on the door a few times before saying, "Old housekeeper, I'm here to deliver the food."

Then the door opened with a creak, and the old butler first poked his head out to look around, and seeing that there was only a middle-aged man, he nodded and let him in.

After the middle-aged man came in, he quickly put the food on the table in the middle, "There is nothing delicious at the old butler's house. I have tried my best. If there is anything wrong, please bear with me."

"I know your difficulties, and it's already hard for you to be able to prepare for this."

Then the old butler first asked Wang Yi to sit in the middle, and sat beside him to accompany him, and then said to the middle-aged man standing: "Sit down and eat with us too."

Under such circumstances, ordinary people would naturally refuse, but now the middle-aged man immediately sat down at the table, then picked up the chopsticks, took out a little from each dish, put it in the bowl in front of him, and used it I dug a spoonful of porridge and ate it together with these dishes.

Seeing people eating these things, the old butler was relieved, and then smiled and said to Wang Yi who was sitting in the middle: "Master, this is Laiwang. His father was rescued by the old prince back then, and he has given it to our family." Been doing it for decades.”

Lai Wang, who was sitting by the side, was terrified when he heard the address of the old housekeeper. Could this be the only child of the old prince in the world?Their titular masters?

The middle-aged man didn't dare to be negligent, he stood up quickly, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Yi.

Seeing that the middle-aged man was still smart, Wang Yi nodded in satisfaction, and then comforted him softly: "You don't need to be so polite, this time it's up to you to deal with it."

"The master is killing the slave. If the master dies, the slave will die forever."

The old butler continued: "Go to the front and take a look, don't make any mistakes, and report to the back if you have something to do."

After hearing that, Zhou Wang hurriedly kowtowed to Wang Yi again, then left the room with the tray in his hand, and closed the door behind them.

After Zhou Wang left, the old housekeeper made a bowl of porridge for Wang Yi, put it in front of her and said, "Master, let's eat something."

Wang Yi just started eating.
