Huacheng did not change because of Hua Xun's departure.The simple folk customs and the people who live and work in peace and contentment are the same as before. The only difference is that the new prefect is said to be a cruel official, and he is very strict with his subordinates.However, Hua Xun is the county head of the emperor's court after all, so naturally she doesn't have to be afraid of any influence.

No one greeted the carriage when it entered the city, probably because Pei Lan and the others didn't know she was back.When Hua Xun saw the scenery on the street through the window, she felt very cordial.She turned her head and said with a slightly reserved smile: "I haven't come back for half a year, and I don't want to come back like this. The four of us went to Huafu again, and it's really hard work."

Huadu looked at her with a smile, nodded and said: "Yes." But her smile was not very real, and her smile seemed to be faintly clouded.

After passing the long street, the tavern that Hua Xun had been looking forward to was coming soon, Hua Xun couldn't help leaning over and shouting to the driver: "Wait! Let's not go back, let's go to the tavern first!"

The carriage turned a corner and went into the alley.The Chu Yan carriage that was originally sitting in the front lined up behind Huaxun's carriage because it was about to arrive at Huacheng. The driver saw the carriage in front of him turning, so he quickly pulled the reins: "Woo—" Turning to the humanity behind the curtain, "Master, the county lord's carriage has turned into an alley. It doesn't look like he's going back to Huafu."

"... Oh, don't pull me!" Hua An's voice came from inside, seeming a little impatient.

"Can't you stop for a while?" Then Chu Yan's voice sounded, "Quick, follow them."

"Yes." Accustomed to Hua An and Chu Yan arguing at every turn along the way, the coachman habitually ignored other words and followed Hua Xun's carriage directly.

Arriving in front of the tavern, Hua Xun couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage, but saw the tavern door closed tightly.Going forward to check, the tavern has been dusty for a long time, and there is a thin layer of dust on the threshold.Hua Xun knew that things were going to get worse, if the tavern manager was gone, Hua Du had no hope, how could he find Linglong Tower?She patted on the door in a panic and shouted: "Open the door! Open the door quickly!" Unfortunately, no one responded.

"Are you here to buy wine?" A man carrying a burden happened to pass by. When he saw Hua Xun trying to knock on the door, his face turned pale with anxiety, and he said timidly, "Girl, don't knock! The shopkeeper is locked. The shop, leave early. We haven't had her wine for two months. Alas, since the crown prince was abolished, people are in a panic, and even Huacheng's business is hard to do."

"Old man." Chu Yan got out of the car, and said to the trafficker in a gentle voice, "Do you know where the owner of this place has gone?"

"I don't know. If we want to know, are we still worried about having no good wine to drink? Alas, the girl should go home earlier, so don't delay here." The shopkeeper waved his hand and left with his burden.

Hua Xun lowered her head in disappointment, the hope in her eyes was shattered, and the crystal tears were about to fall.

Chu Yan stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, comfortingly said: "When you return to Huafu, send someone to look for it. She will never disappear for no reason. As long as this is still Huacheng, don't you still have the confidence to find the shopkeeper?" ?”

"I..." Hua Xun forced a smile, turned his eyes down, and went back to the car.

She dare not say, she can find it.But she has to find it, as long as there is a chance, as long as Huadu can be saved, no matter what the price is, she will save her.

Hua Xun's unhappy appearance is obvious, as it concerns Hua Du's life, she can't pretend to be happy.

"It's just that the chance didn't happen. You don't have to be too sad. Although the journey was a bit hard, I'm in good health. Ask Tang..." Hua Du said softly.

"Let's go." Hua Xun was very depressed and didn't answer her.

The middle gate of Huafu was closed, and there were only two guards with unfamiliar faces at the gate.After leaving home for more than half a year, Hua Xun felt that nothing had changed, but when she saw these two unknown guards, she felt that many things had changed.

"Who are you?"

"..." Hua Xun looked at Hua Du, Chu Yan, and Hua An standing behind him. He was not in a good mood at first, but now he was questioned by these two ignorant guards, his face sank, and he said with a flick of his sleeves, "This There are not many people in Huafu who don't have eyes and dare to provoke me! You bastard, you don't even know your own master?"

"What's the master? I don't think you guys look like a swindler. Go around and don't make trouble here." The older man stepped forward and warned.

Hua Xun laughed angrily, nodded and said, "It's the first time I was stopped at the door of my house. Good, great."

She walked forward to meet the two of them, and the two guards looked at each other, drew out half of the blade and threatened, "If you don't leave, we will strike!"

"Get lost!" Hua Xun took another step forward without any fear.

The two guards really wanted to do something, Chu Yan stepped forward with a gloomy face, took out the jade card of Princess Anhe and kicked the one who blocked the way first, and said angrily: "Is it your turn to be presumptuous in this Huafu? Open your eyes Take a look! This is your master, County Master Huai'an!" He took back the jade tablet and said in a deep voice, "I don't want Hua Mansion to become like this, but the princess has opened my eyes!"

The guard knelt down on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said again and again: "The villain deserves to die! The villain deserves to die! I don't know that the master will return to the mansion, so I just treat it as some passer-by who disrespects the Hua mansion! Master, spare your life! Master, please forgive me!"

"Sister, why are you so angry with the servants as soon as you come back?" A young man with red lips and white teeth came out with Eucommia and his servants.He was holding a silver ruyi in his hand, tapping the palm of the other hand from time to time, and came out of the door slowly after the guards begged for mercy, smiling calmly.

"Azhi?" Hua Xun saw the young man who had grown quite a bit, and said coldly, "My sister is not at home, my father is lying in bed, and you are already in charge of the Huafu. This is how your subordinates treat their master and Is it a distinguished guest? Those who don’t know will think that my Huafu is so rude, teaching a bunch of gentle scum!”

The guards retreated behind Hua Yan in fear, lowering their heads and not daring to speak.Hua Yan glanced at these people, showed a sinister smile, and asked Hua: "Sister has been with my father for a long time, and my insights all come from my father. Besides, who doesn't know that my sister is famous? That's why the guards Offended the master, Sister, it is true that the younger brother did not discipline well. Someone—” Yin Ruyi patted her palm, Hua Yan raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled evilly, “Pull these two people down, chop them up and feed them to the dogs! If you don't even recognize your own master, who will take my elder sister seriously in the future?"

"Yes." The servant behind him immediately pushed down the two guards, dragging them away.

"Rules can be taught, but at least not today. Is Ah Zhi willing to leave behind the title of 'my sister returns home at the beginning, my brother kills people and becomes powerful'? Mr. Zhang taught you really well." hand, sneered again and again.

"Yan is ignorant." Hua Yan moved away with a smile, and made a gesture, "I think my father misses my sister too much. My sister has already arrived home, why don't you go to see my father? There are also the princess and Wu Ya. Cousin, everyone Hua, please go inside."

Hua Xun glanced at Hua Yan coldly, returned to Hua Du, and said in a low voice: "The prince's downfall may not mean that my younger brother is easy to get along with. He must have been instructed by someone, otherwise he wouldn't act like this. You guys Be careful." Then he helped Hua Du and led Chu Yan and his party into the mansion.

Hua Yan pursed her lips, turned her head to face the guards but said with a stern look in her eyes: "Take these two people down, deal with it!"

"Yes, my lord." Du Zhong waved his hand and left with two guards.Hua Yan played with Yin Ruyi, and said in a low voice to the boy, "Since they want to throw themselves into the trap, then I can't live up to my husband's entrustment, I think that Hua Du looks sick, I'm afraid it's seriously ill, you should be more careful. Can kill one more is one!"

"Here." The boy responded.

After arranging this group of people, Hua Xun didn't care about taking a bath and changing clothes, and with Hua Junhou in his heart, he rushed to the East Pavilion without any delay.But when I arrived at the East Pavilion, I didn't see the old man who used to serve Hua Junhou, but there were two new faces.She was puzzled, and slowly approached the East Pavilion, but was stopped by a maid: "This is the East Pavilion, where the Lord lives, girl, don't go any further."

Hearing that Hua Junhou was still there, Hua Xun heaved a sigh of relief, but still said with a straight face: "What girl, I am the head of Huai'an County, your master! Get out of the way, I'm going to see my father."

"I don't know that my son is back, please forgive my sin!" The maid who was carrying tea knelt down on the ground, waiting tremblingly for Hua Xun to apologise.

Hua Xun didn't want to worry about titles at this moment, so he just said irritably, "Get out of the way!"

"The old Patriarch is not in the East Pavilion, and has been moved to Fuling Hall by the lord."

"Old master? My lord?" Hua Xun asked puzzled, "Who is the lord you're talking about? Who lives in the East Pavilion here?"

"...Yes...it's Young Master..."

Hua Xun couldn't help laughing: "My lord? Well, what a lord! He was overwhelmed! Why did the old Patriarch live in Fuling Hall? Doesn't he know that Fuling Hall is damp and cold, and it used to be the place where the Patriarchs punished concubines Ji? Huh?!" She laughed back in anger, and without waiting for the servant girl to answer, she turned and went to Fuling Hall.

The status of Fuling Hall in Huafu is just a bit better than the place where servants live, but it is the place where the patriarchs of the past dynasties punished those who violated the family rules, and often used the death penalty to beat people to death in it.But recently the several Patriarchs have been lenient, they seldom go to Fuling Hall, instead they are thrown into the Grand Prison of the Taishou Mansion, where not only is it cold and damp, but also thick with dust and densely covered with cobwebs, it is not a place for people to live.

Hua Xun went along the Fuling Hall in his memory, and met Hua Yan, who was still haunted on the way.The enemy was extremely jealous when they met each other, and he provoked Hua Xun again and again, Hua Xun almost gritted his teeth and asked him: "You don't know what kind of place Fuling Hall is! You actually moved your father to Fuling Tang, what is your intention? Hua Yan, do you really think that no one can deal with you when you are in danger?"

"Sister, I don't understand what Sister said." Hua Yan waved his hands, pretending to be panicked, "Going to Fuling Hall was a request from my father, and what happened to Fuling Hall? It's quiet over there, no People will disturb the father's rest, and the father's order, I dare not disobey. If sister doesn't believe it, Yan might as well accompany sister to find the father and see if it's what Yan said."

"Okay!" Hua Xun's face was so gloomy that he couldn't help it anymore.
