[Red House] World Transformation Project

The carriage stopped in front of Zhu Hong's gate, and a chubby little eunuch greeted him with a smile, and said with a smile: "Hey, you are here, our Highness has been waiting for you."

Ruan Qing was also pleasantly surprised when she heard the words, and she took a few children and walked in from the servants of Xue's mansion. Jia Zhu had completed the task and was about to say goodbye when the little eunuch said, "Master Zhu Let's wait for a while, His Highness said that he has some official business to ask."

This is a legitimate reason.

Jia Zhu was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Then I will bother you today."

After being respectfully invited in, they didn't go through any visiting procedures, and were directly ushered into the waiting room.Sheng Qingzhu was obviously taken aback when he saw the unfamiliar Baochai, and said with a smile: "This is the girl from the Xue family, she is really beautiful."

Ruan Qing blinked at him, their whereabouts were obviously being watched, especially after Bai Ling's defeat, the other party would definitely be more vigilant, she didn't think about bringing Baochai at first, after all, what they had to deal with was The rebellious Prince An, who knows if it will hurt the Xue family, but after Aunt Xue knew that she was going to visit the eldest princess and asked her if she could bring Baochai, Ruan Qing changed her mind.

Even if she didn't bring it, wouldn't the Xue family be the in-laws of the Rongguo Mansion in the eyes of others?

The result is the same, and bringing Baochai can better cover up his purpose.

Sheng Qingzhu obviously realized it, and instead of rushing to have a private chat with them, he chatted with An Chun Baochai about family affairs, and then sent An Chun to take Baochai to the small study to sort out the household registration files.

After the two had left, she said: "This girl from the Xue family is a wonderful person, but it's a pity that brother is holding back."

Ruan Qing said: "She is more reliable than Xue Pan as the head of the family, but unfortunately she is too young."

She was talking about being young, not that it was a pity that Baochai was a girl.

Sheng Qingzhu understood what she meant, and after pondering for a moment, said: "Wait until she grows up."

Ruan Qing nodded.

Jia Zhu was listening on pins and needles, and hurriedly said, "I don't know if Your Highness has discovered anything?"

When it came to business, Sheng Qingzhu's expression became more serious, and he said: "It has been confirmed that Prince An's son will appear in Jinling, but it is still not sure where the troops will come from. I have already written to my elder brother to ask him to pay attention to the garrisons around Jinling. No Strange."

Ruan Qing said: "But according to the secret report, they are indeed planning to start an incident soon."

But even Ruan Qing didn't understand why Prince An had the courage to rebel when the army was controlled by Li Zhi and there were only a few hundred bandits suspected of being rebels around him?

Sheng Qingzhu's expression became more complicated when he heard the words. After all, he was the only uncle. When Li Zhi led his ministers and children to improve the people's livelihood and rectify the atmosphere, his family was holding back because of interests. Who didn't feel complicated.

She sighed and said in a low voice: "Anyway, we know in advance, so we have an advantage over them. Brother's men are always on standby. We just need to be vigilant. The most important thing now is that my men took over not long ago. I got a secret report saying that Princess Wynn was a fake. She had worked with Princess Anle for a while. Princess Anle was unable to conceive a child because she was tortured. At the same time, she gave a jade belt as a gift. I asked someone to ask. Aunt Anping is indeed...the property of the Empress Dowager. By the way, the letter also said that we should be vigilant against the Spring Wind Pavilion."

Chunfeng Pavilion is one of the largest brothels in Jinling.

This amount of information is slightly larger.

First of all, it is not very good news to be devastated and have never conceived a child.

Secondly, what is worth paying attention to in a place like Huanchang?

Combined with what I said earlier, Sheng Qingzhu had an inexplicable bad feeling.

To be honest, what might happen to a beautiful girl who was kidnapped is too easy to guess, the best is to choose to be a slave, the worst...

No one dared to think deeply, just like when Princess Wynn came back, no one dared to ask the princess what she had experienced.

Ruan Qing said: "The Xue family is the most powerful family in the area. I'm keeping an eye on the Xue family. As for Mr. Xie, His Highness has to work hard."

Sheng Qingzhu nodded: "It should."

After the chat, everyone including Jia Zhu was arrested, and several people gathered in the study to tidy up together.

Until the sun was setting, Sheng Qingzhu put the household registration that had recently moved to Jinling back into the box, wiped off his sweat, looked at the sky outside the window and said, "It's getting late, do you want to rest here for the night?"

Ruan Qing shook her head and said with a smile: "Zhu'er is a man after all, it's inconvenient to be here with His Highness, let's meet again some other day."

Sheng Qingzhu thought about it too: "I'll ask someone to send you off."

Ruan Qing didn't refuse this time, she thanked her and got into the carriage. An Chun took Baochai and sat opposite her. I have to say that although Baochai was only ten years old, she already had a demeanor of not being surprised by favor or humiliation. The lady's banquet became a white job, and she didn't even say a few words to the eldest princess, but her expression was still calm and gentle, and she still wanted to take care of Ruan Qing.

At this time, she was contemplating the contents of the dossier, and her intuition told her that there might be something wrong in it, but her brain seemed to be frozen, and she couldn't figure out what was wrong. She originally wanted to study it slowly after going back to her room tonight, but who knows how many people came together. When I went back, I was faced with the news that Aunt Xue and Xue Pan, who were crying too hard to drink flowers and wine, disappeared.

Ruan Qing: "..."

I'm FFF... Buddha is merciful.

Mother's elementary school student drank flower wine and disappeared, no matter how it sounds, it's magical!

Ruan Qing, if it wasn't for Baochai's sake, she really wanted to say that I am not a fool, Xue Pan loves it to death.

She sighed, and said calmly: "What's the matter, doesn't Pan'er take anyone with her when she goes out?"

Aunt Xue was hoarse from crying, so she had no time to answer, sobbing and unable to speak.Seeing her like this, Baochai, who was already worried about her elder brother, became anxious, stepped forward to hold her mother's hand, and said softly: "Mom, now you are the only one in charge of the family, what happened, Guan Mo and the others also disappeared Are you clear about when the people in Spring Breeze Pavilion last saw Big Brother and who reported the letter?"

Aunt Xue seemed to be grasping at straws, she held her hand in haste, and said, "This afternoon, your eldest brother wanted to go out to buy something, so I, I agreed. One boy and six guards, I thought our family lived in Jinling City and didn't care, but just now, Guan Mo came back and said that Pan'er was gone!"

At the beginning, she could still maintain some clarity, but when she thought of her son missing, she was heartbroken and couldn't cry.What good results can be expected for children who have disappeared these days!

Baochai was overwhelmed by her crying, but she also had to distinguish the useful content of these words and comfort her heartbroken mother, and she seemed a little flustered for a while.

Ruan Qing continued, "Do you know the reason?"

Aunt Xue swallowed her saliva, her eyes became a little clearer under Baochai's comfort, she raised her head and thought for a while, then said: "That boy Guanmo said that Pan'er fell in love with a new girl, and put them They rushed out to stay overnight, and a friend brought by Pan'er got too drunk and wanted to rush in, and that's when they realized that Pan'er was gone!"

Ruan Qing could almost think of the usual style of Xue Pan and this group of cronies. She frowned disgustedly, turned her head to the stunned Jia Zhu, and said, "Go ask someone to post a post for Mr. Xie, please help him to pay attention to the people who have recently left the city. , An'er went to bring a few people to seal the Spring Wind Pavilion, Baochai went to stabilize the house, don't let them mess up, I will stay here with your mother."

Baochai looked at Aunt Xue subconsciously, and saw that she was crying with her eyes closed, as if she hadn't heard Ruan Qing's words at all. She pursed her lips, bowed her head respectfully, and asked, "I don't know if Sister An Do you need someone from the Xue family to accompany you?"

Ruan Qing said: "No need, the people around us are all familiar faces, so we won't make them too nervous."

The guards of the Xue family have basically followed Xue Pan, and Xue Pan is habitually domineering, so asking the Xue family to go will only add to the chaos.

Baochai naturally understood what Ruan Qing meant, and she was a little helpless, but she knew Xue Pan's reputation in the local area better than Ruan Qing, and she sighed secretly, so she didn't persist, and went down after being blessed.

Jia Zhu and An Chun didn't delay, they turned around and left.

Patriarch Xue passed away a long time ago. Although most of the family business is now managed by Aunt Xue and her servants, in fact Xue Pan is the real Patriarch. It is a big deal that the young Patriarch Xue disappeared. Overnight, the calm and bustling Jinling City seemed to be thrown off the boil, and boiled instantly.

People who are less powerful than the Xue family dare not say anything, but the people of the Xue family clan don't take this into consideration, and there are many people who come to inquire about the news or even arrogantly promote their youngest son and grandson, all of them are treated like crazy Aunt Xue drove out.

Then the rumors got even more outrageous.

It was said that Xue Pan died in a flower house, contracted a disease, and some wicked people could even say such things as horse wind. Suddenly, Xue Pan's not-so-good reputation became even more notorious.

Even Ruan Qing could only sigh, pretending she didn't hear it, and continued to ask people to find Xue Pan as soon as possible.

In fact, she probably could sense Xue Pan's position. On a hill outside the city they passed by at that time, it was a subordinate of Prince An who was called a bandit but was actually a private soldier. But now that Xue Pan's life was not in danger after all, she was not in a hurry to save people.

Now she wants to know even more how Prince An wants to take Jinling City with these hundreds of people.

Xue Pan disappeared, and the whole city of Jinling was in turmoil, especially Mr. Xie, who wanted to impress Sheng Qingzhu during her stay, wanted to faint on the spot. Originally, Sheng Qingzhu didn't have a good impression of him about Feng Yuan. Well, if something like this happens again, he is afraid that he will lose his black hat.

Especially now... Mr. Xie wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice, "This is the letter I received this morning."

Sheng Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and took it, his expression became uglier the more he looked at it.

"If you want to save Xue Pan, attach ten thousand taels of gold, and send the mother and son of the Rongguo Mansion to exchange it in person at noon tomorrow.

——Don't think about playing tricks, under the third willow tree on the west side of the Xue family's east courtyard, there is buried your young master's precious finger, if you are disobedient, it may not be the finger next time. "

Sheng Qingzhu winked at his subordinate with a pale face, paused, and stopped him before the other party went out: "Let's hide it from Mrs. Xue's family first, please Second Wife... Forget it, please Jia Xuezheng."

However, Jia Zhu did come, but not alone, but with Ruan Qing, who had a gloomy face, and Aunt Xue, who was crying and haggard.

Sheng Qingzhu's person was caught by Aunt Xue when she dragged Aunt Xue to dig things in the backyard secretly. A bloody finger and a few rags were left.

Aunt Xue recognized her son's fingers at a glance and fainted immediately. By the time Ruan Qing knew about it, it was too late.

Sheng Qingzhu had an uncontrollable headache.
