The morning fog has not cleared yet.

The city gate has just opened.

A team of more than 200 escorts escorted nearly a hundred carriages of goods into the city from the east gate of the capital.

Changfeng Escort Bureau's shop was very large, and it had its own territory in every state capital of the Yan Dynasty, except in the capital city where every inch of land was at a premium.

They have said that every inch of land is precious and they cannot afford it. A dilapidated house in the capital is enough to feed and drink their family in their hometown for a lifetime.

Next, there are many powerful people under the emperor's feet. If the properties are not passed down from ancestors, most of them will be acquired by the powerful.

For ordinary people, the monthly rent of a house is enough to support a large family, and it is also a long-term income. Who would not think of buying a hen with golden eggs?

Not to mention the rich and powerful. Unless the family is in despair, they will want to use their power to get more hens that can lay golden eggs. Selling a house is not decent in their eyes.

So after entering the capital, the people from the Changfeng Escort Bureau sighed, the capital was more prosperous than the last time they came here.

Then the group of people went to the designated trading area, scattered some of the goods in their hands, and streamlined the goods. Then they rented a yard from a middleman, stored the remaining things, and left some people to guard them. , and some people went out to look for food.

After walking for nearly two months escorting goods, I ate almost two months of dry food. People were almost reduced to dry food, and they had to go out for a meal.

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, they started to get busy.

Outside the Du Mansion.

The head escort from the Long-Term Escort Bureau and several people pulled a carriage of goods to the side door.

Menzi glanced at them and asked loudly: "What are you doing here?"

"The younger one is the head of the Changfeng Escort Bureau. Someone has entrusted the escort agency to deliver a letter to your mansion, saying that it is for your lord. Please be sure to read it." The dart boss said with a smile as he cupped his hands.

He had prepared this sentence in his mind for two full months before he could say it so smoothly!

When their escort agency first received this commission, they were surprised and delighted.

I was surprised because I was afraid that they would get into some trouble. After all, it was a matter for the rich and powerful, and ordinary people would not be able to get into trouble if they got into it.

What I am happy about is that this is a letter to the family of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs at that time, or it is a letter that is specified to be sent to Zuo Shilang!

This is a third-rank official of the current dynasty!

If they are lucky and the Changfeng Escort Bureau uses this to get into the Shilang's Mansion, then they will also have people behind them. The local officials where the Escort Bureau is located will also be a little more scrupulous and dare not stretch their hands too far.

Therefore, the escort agency specially selected these gifts and sent them along with the letter.

When the disciple heard this, he squinted his eyes and glanced up and down at the dart head with the word "dart" written on the chest of his clothes. He was about to taunt, "Can their master read the letter sent by anyone?"

But I don't know what else came to my mind, so I swallowed the words that were on my lips and asked them.

"Where did you come from? Do you know who commissioned you to deliver it?"

The escort leader answered honestly: "Linyuan Mansion, a young woman."

The person who entrusted the messenger to deliver the letter said that if anyone from the Vice Minister's House asks, just tell them.

When Menzi heard this place name, it was not the place he thought the road would pass through, and he was a little careless.

But then he heard the other party say that it was from a woman. His heart skipped a beat, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, bring the letter."

The escort took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Menzi's hand.

Menzi took the letter and squeezed it. After feeling the firmness in his hand, he said to the escort and the others: "Wait here for a while."

After that, he said a few words to another disciple, took the letter and left.

If the letter in his hand can make the master and his wife happy, then he will also get benefits. If not, he will take advantage of these people.

He did not hand the letter directly to his master, but went to the steward of the Du Mansion, his uncle, to tell him his guess and asked: "Uncle, do you want to hand this to the master now?"

Countless people send letters and invitations to the Minister's Mansion every day.

In the past, they would have thought that they were just another type of person who wanted to seek protection, so they would have just dismissed him.

But ever since the young lady insisted on leaving with the exiled team, the master and his wife had been worried day and night, and notified the concierge many times that if someone sent them a letter, it must be delivered to them.

It's a pity that for so long, although I have received letters, I have never heard from the lady.

I just don’t know if there will be news about the lady in this letter.

The housekeeper took the letter. After listening to it, he said without much hesitation, "Hand it in." After that, he walked towards the study where the master was.

It's my break today, and Shilang Du happens to be at home.

Du Shilang was disappointed and sad about his daughter, but more importantly, he was worried that she would not live well, after all, he had loved her for so many years.

After hearing the butler say that a young woman had entrusted the escort agency to deliver a letter, he immediately took the letter from the butler's hand and opened it, only to find a blank piece of paper.

This……

Both Shilang Du and the housekeeper were a little confused. They took the white paper and looked it up and down. No matter how they looked at it, it was just a piece of white paper.

The master and servant looked at each other.

The housekeeper hesitated and asked, "Is it possible that the secret letter requires a special potion to make the handwriting visible?"

After thinking for a while, he added, "I heard that some secret letters need to be baked with fire to make the writing visible. Why don't you try it?"

Du Shilangfu thought about it and thought it made sense, so he quickly went to him and lit a candle.

After the candle was lit, I held the white paper and baked it back and forth for a while but still couldn't see the writing appearing, so I looked up at the butler and said, "Go and prepare the potion."

"Yes." The butler responded and withdrew.

Du Shilang sat down on the chair and stared at the white paper on the desk in trance.

The surface of this white paper is smooth and as white as clouds. It seems to be of high value.

Looking at the tawny envelope containing the letter again, I felt even more strange.

He picked up the envelope and looked around with confusion, and soon discovered something strange about the joint at the bottom of the envelope - it seemed to have been re-glued.

Carefully separating the joints, he discovered that the envelope actually had two layers!

Quickly and carefully separating the two envelopes, he found that there seemed to be something written inside the outer envelope.

After he unfolded the envelope and read the contents carefully, he stood up in shock.

He hurriedly put all the letters into his arms and ordered outside: "Prepare the carriage."

After leaving the study, he said to the servant waiting at the side: "Go and see if the person who delivered the letter has left. If not, leave them alone first. If they are gone, go find them."

The servant received the order and immediately walked quickly to the concierge.

After seeing that the messenger was still there, he invited them to a courtyard to rest.
