Yan Ruyu told Huo Changhe the truth about how she met Zhuangzi's messenger in the main courtyard of Yongchang County.

"It seems your method worked. That greenhouse must have caught fire."

Yan Ruyu's eyes were slightly cold, and she lifted the curtain to look in the direction of the County Lord's Mansion: "So, let's not leave in a hurry first, let's see what they are doing."

"The people in the manor reported directly to the Yongchang County Lord, not that man, which means that the manor is directly controlled by the Yongchang County Lord." Huo Changhe said, "It seems that she did not hand over everything."

"She is extremely controlling. She even has to control how many mouthfuls of soup her son drinks. Naturally, some important matters must be taken into her own hands."

Yan Ruyu thought to herself that this kind of person has a strong desire for control and a paranoid personality. Sometimes he really needs to be more careful.

"That man has no one available for him now, and the gold and silver are too much to use. If Yongchang County Master wants to send someone to deal with this matter, he has to find a way himself." Huo Changhe said softly, "This is also a good time to see Yongchang County Master. Is there any chance for my subordinates to hide their power?"

Ever since he found out that Huo Changxian was not the old prince's biological son, Huo Changhe had always called him "that man".

Yan Ruyu was secretly amused and let him go: "Yes, if there is one, I can just uproot her."

……

At this time, in the main courtyard of Yongchang County, she was given a bowl of ginseng soup and given a few more needles before she woke up.

Huo Changxian hurried forward: "Mother, how do you feel?"

The Lord of Yongchang County breathed weakly: "Why are you here?"

"Mother, you are not in good health and it is not appropriate to get angry. Your son is unfilial and he is late."

Yongchang County Lord glanced at the mother-in-law, who lowered her head - it was so scary just now. As soon as Yongchang County Lord heard the news that the greenhouse was burned to the ground, he fainted and stayed awake for a long time.

How could she, a servant, dare to take on such a responsibility, so she could only call Huo Changxian quickly.

The Lord of Yongchang County took a deep breath: "Okay, I'm fine now. I just heard that something happened in the manor outside the city, and I'm a little worried."

Huo Changxian advised: "Mother, there is some barren land there, and it is not a valuable thing. Don't worry about it. What if you don't want it anymore?"

The Lord of Yongchang County frowned and blurted out: "What do you know!"

Huo Changxian's face stiffened and he pursed his lips in silence.

Yongchang County Lord paused and said in a gentle tone: "A shop or a piece of land should be considered hard-earned. But for everything in my County Lord's Mansion, even if it is worthless, I have to say whether I want it or not. I can't call it arbitrarily." Do you understand that people want to destroy things?"

Huo Changxian nodded: "Yes, my son has written it down."

The Lord of Yongchang County closed his eyes and thought quickly. He didn't want him to know about the manor. However, something went wrong now, and he was not in good health and could not go out. At this time, he could no longer hide it from him.

It's better than letting outsiders snatch it. Besides, it doesn't matter if those things have been burned to ashes.

The head of Yongchang County made up his mind and sighed: "Just now, people from Zhuangzi came to report that the greenhouse was burned and caught fire for no reason. There is something fishy. Go and see who is causing trouble. Find out and bring them to me." Come forward."

"Yes, son, go here."

"In addition," Yongchang County Lord motioned to his mother-in-law and took out a name card: "You don't have anyone capable around you now. Take this and go to the Zhenwei Escort Bureau and ask their chief escort to go with you."

Thinking of his two unsatisfactory men, Huo Changxian's face burned: "Yes."

"Also," the eyes of Yongchang County Lord showed ruthlessness, "some things must be broken off immediately. Some people raise a loyal dog, but if the dog is infected with something that shouldn't be contracted, it will be done once or twice." Three times, you have to think about whether it is necessary to keep such waste."

Huo Changxian's heart trembled: "My son understands, thank you mother for your teaching."

"Go, I'm tired." The Lord of Yongchang County waved his hand.

Huo Changxian stood up and walked away. As soon as he reached the door, the head of Yongchang County said again: "You only check the fire, don't worry about anything else."

"……Yes."

Huo Changxian exited the yard, holding the name card in his hand. It was his mother's name card, but he never knew that his mother had contacts with the Zhenwei Escort Agency and could even control their chief escort.

when did it happen?

He didn't know why or when, but he felt that he didn't know his mother that well.

He tilted his head and asked the boy: "Where is that village girl now?"

"Returning to the young master, he was carried back to the small courtyard. He was still alive and hanging, but he was not dead."

"Don't let her die yet. When I come back, I have something to ask her."

"Yes."

Huo Changxian thought, since Hongyu said that she was reborn and knew some things about her previous life, then does she... know something about her mother?

Maybe, you should ask.

Huo Changxian didn't know that as soon as he left the mansion, he was stared at by Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe in the carriage. He went in the opposite direction and went straight to Zhenwei Escort Bureau.

Huo Changhe sneered: "As expected, there is no one available. He can even think of coming to the escort agency to find someone."

"However," he paused, "Although the people in the escort agency are strict, they are also strict at different times. They are strict when the escort is in custody, but they may not be strict afterwards. The matter in the manor is secret, so why would you ask someone from the escort agency for help?"

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly, and when she saw Huo Changxian dismounting, she turned her palm over and seemed to be showing something.

"Perhaps the Lord of Yongchang County asked him to come here. There may be some secrets here."

"There's no rush," Yan Ruyu said calmly, "Wait and see what kind of escort is sent out. Besides, the whistle will come tonight, and he should be able to bring some news."

Bee Whistle is still lurking in the house. When Yan Ruyu went to Huayuanzi today, she even took a photo with him from a distance. Tonight is also the time for Bee Whistle to come to get the "antidote".

Presumably, he will also perform hard.

After about a quarter of an hour, a total of six people, including Huo Changxian, came out, led by one person from the escort agency and accompanied by four escorts.

The leader was tall and carried a knife on his back. It turned out to be a rare mountain cleaver. This kind of knife was large and heavy and would not be used by those with natural powers. However, the advantages of this kind of knife were also obvious and ordinary people could not resist it.

His horse is also a rare good horse. Compared with other horses, it is a head shorter than his.

Jumping onto the horse, wearing a black outfit and thin iron-colored armor, he looked really murderous.

Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised: "There is such a person in the Zhenwei Escort Bureau. What kind of escort is he? Does the prince recognize him?"

Huo Changhe's face was as cold as jade: "He is not an escort, he is the chief escort of Zhenwei Escort Bureau, Qi Tianmeng."

Yan Ruyu took a breath: "Chief escort? Judging from this person's aura, it doesn't seem like he was driven by Huo Changxian. Could it be..."

"He should have contacts with the head of Yongchang County." Huo Changhe stared at Qi Tianmeng.

Qi Tianmeng in the distance had just mounted his horse and was about to leave, when he suddenly turned back and looked here.
