Planning to marry the third master

Xie Xinhui decisively sent a message and personally asked the people around her to pass the message to Xie Yunxiao. There were three of them in total, and they went to find Mr. Xie Sanye as quickly as possible, no matter what means they had.

At this time, Xie Yunxiao was rushing to the north, the former Beirong, now Longxi. He really didn't expect that Feng Zhuohua would be stranded in Longnan.

On the other side, Hu Cong received Qing Yue's message, and he changed his route and headed towards Longnan first.

Things are always so unfortunate, and there are twists and turns. The official documents of the court are being sent to various places in an urgent manner over 800 miles. The biggest event is the enthronement of the new emperor.

Such a major event, the magistrate of Cao County would definitely handle it immediately, inform the people, stop all activities, and at the same time follow the policy of amnesty to exempt many people from their crimes. Such a major event spread quickly, and almost everyone in the streets and alleys knew about it in one day.

This was already the fastest speed of the imperial court. Yang Ji knew about it and asked immediately, "Who ascended the throne?"

County Magistrate Cao said, "The Emperor's fifth son, Prince Yan."

"What!" Yang Ji couldn't believe it. He grabbed Magistrate Cao and asked, "Are you mistaken?"

Magistrate Cao was startled and immediately explained, "How could we make a mistake in such an important matter? We are naturally very cautious about urgent documents from the court."

Yang Ji let go of his hand. How could it be Gu Xingyan? He didn't look like someone destined to be an emperor. And Xie Yunxiao, there was no way he didn't know about this. Why didn't he stop it? Or was there something else going on?

Without looking at Yang Ji's expression, County Magistrate Cao said, "Fortunately, the old emperor is still here, and he is now the emperor emeritus. Prince Yan has a good reputation among the people. The people are so happy that Prince Yan is on the throne this time."

"really?"

County Magistrate Cao nodded and said, "Of course, among the many merchants in Longnan, the one who spread the word the most is Prince Yan."

Yang Ji narrowed his eyes. What a Gu Xingyan! It turned out that he was the most scheming one. He usually kept quiet, but it turned out that he was doing things in secret.

Yang Ji didn't care about so many things at the moment, and immediately sent a carrier pigeon to Bian Jing to inquire about the situation.

He really couldn't understand how Gu Xingyan could ascend to the throne when the situation in Bianjing had always been in Gu Xinghui's hands.

In Longxi, Yang Zhan heard that his father was beaten and injured by the Chen family in Longxi, so he immediately sent out cavalry. There were at least 5,000 soldiers and horses, if not 10,000.

With so many people and horses, and the dust on the road billowing, it is obvious that it is a large army.

The Chen family naturally received the news of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, but as the aristocratic family is unchanging and the imperial court is changing, these things had little impact on them.

However, Feng Zhuohua encountered a problem at night. He got up at dark, avoided everyone and stayed near the darkroom. Fortunately, there was someone guarding the darkroom. If Qingyue had not discovered it in time, Feng Zhuohua would have been unable to save people and escape.

It was really hard to guard against the way this bug controlled people. Qingyue beat up the old man from Miaojiang that night and removed all the bells from the old man's five fingers.

It took another day and night to recover from this ordeal.

However, a dangerous thing happened. Longnan was besieged, causing panic among the people. Everyone was worried and thought that a war was going to happen. Only when someone understood the situation did everyone breathe a sigh of relief and a large army was stationed outside the city.

The first thing Yang Zhan did when he entered the city was to find Yang Ji.

At this time, Yang Ji's injury was almost healed, and he asked, "How many people did you bring with you?"

"Five thousand cavalry."

"enough."

"Dad, what happened? How could the Chen family be so bold?"

Yang Ji said: "This is not the point. The point is that Xie Laosan's people are missing."

"Who?"

"His wife."

"What's the relationship between his wife and Dad?"

"You don't understand. The entire Bianjing is in his hands. To put it bluntly, he can make anyone ascend the throne."

Yang Zhan was shocked, "Dad, do you want him to rebel and overthrow the new emperor?"

With the new emperor's ascension to the throne, the Longxi Protectorate naturally received important official documents, and Yang Zhan naturally knew about it.

Yang Ji said, "Why not? The throne must belong to Prince Hui. Dad is not exaggerating, the old emperor has shown signs of moving against our Yang family. Those new policies are aimed at our Yang family and weakening the military power. There is no guarantee that the new Prince Yan will not have this idea."

Yang Zhan was angry that his family had worked so hard to fight the war but still got nothing in return. He asked, "What is Dad going to do?"

"Find the person first, and then everything will be easier to negotiate with."

"Okay, son, I'll listen to you in everything."

"Go gather some people. We must find the person today even if we have to turn the place upside down."

Ever since Yang Ji moved into the post station, people from the Chen family have been pretending to be runners, cleaners, and waiters. It didn't take long for the conversation between the father and son to reach the ears of Chen Haonan and Chen Jiangting.

The two looked at each other, which was very tricky. The key point was the bargaining chip to threaten Xie Lao San, and it was not ruled out that Xie Xinhui was also a bargaining chip.

Chen Jiangting said: "You go to the Chen family, and I will go to hide the people."

Chen Haonan raised his fist and said, "We have a secret room and a mourning hall to hide it from the public. If the person can't be hidden anymore, we can carry the coffin out of the city." The ringing of the bell was indeed a problem and had to be prevented.

Chen Jiangting nodded.

Feng Zhuohua was arranged to go to the secret room that day, and the old man, who had not yet been killed, was also arranged to a small secret room.

Qingyue looked at the person.

Chen Jiangting said that there were troops stationed outside. Qingyue knew it was no small matter when she heard it. She was so weak now, and without Chen Jiangting, she really wouldn't know what to do.

Outside, the Baifan mourning hall was set up. Within one day, the entire Yue residence was decorated with white plain clothes. A dark and heavy coffin was parked in the living room, as if blocking the road. Nanny Chen was ready to pretend to be dead and lie in the coffin at any time.

We are all experienced people, but we haven't encountered this kind of thing for a long time. When we encountered it today, we were able to handle it with ease.

Nanny Chen couldn't help but say, "Miss, we didn't expect that you would use the same old trick again."

Aunt Yue couldn't laugh. She faked her death to escape from that man. She could live a quiet life now, all thanks to the decision she made back then. She said, "I'm used to the normal days, so I'll just treat these days as a lively one."

Chen Jiangting deployed half of his staff, and the other half were to guard the mourning hall, generally acting as mourners, walking back and forth, so that if anything happened, there would still be people available to deal with it.

When the officers and soldiers arrived, Nanny Chen had already laid down and the mourning hall was filled with crying. When the officers and soldiers came, they were stopped outside the door. The officers had to let people in to search as they were investigating the case.

Ah Cheng, being a filial son, accompanied the others to search. As it was a funeral, the soldiers were afraid of bad luck and also had some respect for the dead, so they left quickly.

What does it mean to have five thousand people searching the city? Everyone thought something big had happened and people were in a panic.

As for the Chen family, it was natural that Yang Ji would personally lead people to search. This time, Chen Haonan did not stop them. Instead, he personally came to greet them. Xie Xinhui was seriously ill, so Chen Haonan personally asked someone to help Xie Xinhui out to apologize to Yang Ji. Her face and lips were pale, and she coughed up blood while blocking Yang Ji's face.

This made Yang Ji very surprised. How could a healthy person become like this in just a few days?

Chen Haonan said, "She has never experienced anything. Since she was frightened by General Yang last time, she has been ill and can't get up. I didn't know about this until I came back. Although Magistrate Cao asked her to go to the government office, he also had to look at the situation. I only have one wife like her, so naturally I value her very much. If she is wrong, I, Chen Haonan, will make amends."

Yang Ji looked at Xie Xinhui coldly, and Xie Xinhui almost lost her balance. Fu Xin shouted, "Miss."

Chen Haonan immediately turned around, picked up Xie Xinhui, and said anxiously: "Call the palace doctor."

Then he said to Yang Ji, "General Yang, you can search the entire Chen Mansion at will."

Then he carried the person to the backyard.

After that, no one greeted Yang Ji, so he also took his men to search carefully.

The first day was naturally fruitless. Not only he, but all the team leaders also returned empty-handed. How could Yang Ji accept this? He was sure that no one had left the city. All the first time they could leave the city was under his control. It was definitely impossible for them to leave the city. And the strange thing was that the old man from Miaojiang was not found either.
