Chapter 16 - An inch of gold 16
Of course Zheng Yunni could not go.
Before the man arrived at the gate, he was stopped by the embroiderer, and soon he was taken to the front yard.
Huo Weilou sat in the main seat calmly, without any anger on his face, but those cold eyes were frightening.
Zheng Yunni’s jaw raised slightly: “Master Hou, you should know that the seventh day of March is the day when the courtier and the second majesty get married. This is the marriage given by your majesty. If my grandmother has never had an accident, I should enter the capital together with my grandmother these two days. NS.”
The black jade finger on Huo Weilou’s frosted hand was difficult to distinguish. Zheng Yunni gritted his teeth, “Although three people have died in the mansion, none of these have anything to do with the courtiers. Lord Hou detained the courtiers. Could it be possible that the courtiers were Can’t the murderer?”
Huo Weilou kept his eyes silent, and Father Fu smiled and calmed down: “Miss, the wedding on the seventh day of March is only the fifteenth day of the first month. It only takes half a month to get to the capital by water, so there is no need to worry.”
Zheng Yunni didn’t dare to offend Huo Weilou, but he didn’t look at Father Fu, “Father-in-law, the royal wedding is complicated and the etiquette is not as simple as you think.”
Father Fu was still smiling. “Although it is not simple, it is not too complicated.” After a pause, Father Fu said gently: “When your majesty is getting married today, our family will lead the horse for your majesty, so we know how much.”
The young man Jianhe was established as the prince, and he was able to lead the horse for the prince at the wedding, and he was not a cronie. Zheng Yunni saw that Huo Weilou was accompanied by an in-house attendant, and only thought that he was an attendant in the Princess Palace, but did not want Father Fu to be an attendant. The emperor’s man.
Zheng Yunni pressed the corners of her lips tightly, her face pale.
Zheng Wenan said with a sweat on his face: “Hou Ye’s forgiveness is not because we are not abiding by the rules. It’s just that we haven’t caught the murderer yet. Lord Hou also knows that Yun Ni’s identity is always more expensive, and she is afraid of her accident. I think it’s better to come to Beijing earlier.”
It was the imperial concubine who hadn’t gone through the door of the second majesty. She was so precious. Father Fu raised his brows slightly, and his smile became more gentle.
Huo Wei Lou Meifeng didn’t move, “No one can leave until the case is clear.”
Zheng Yunni twisted his eyebrows, he wanted to say something, but he was holding back a few words, “Okay…then listen to Lord Hou…”
Zheng Yunni finished talking about Fushen, turned around and walked out of the front yard.
Zheng Wenan wiped his sweat and said, “Master Hou, forgive me. Yun Ni’s child has a temperament, and he didn’t mean to offend Master Hou.”
Huo Weilou raised his eyes and looked over, “Let Zheng Yunni enter Beijing ahead of time. Is that the mother Yu’s idea for you?”
Zheng Wenan was taken aback, his mouth opened wide, but he didn’t know how to answer, “Master Hou…this…this is a decision made after careful consideration…”
Zheng Wenan looked down and looked a little worried. Huo Weilou’s phoenix eyes looked at him coldly, “Now, you should learn from your fourth brother. At the end of the strong crossbow, all three of your brothers have passed away. If you don’t understand, your Second Highness will really become the prince in the future. How many days will your Anqing Hou Mansion enjoy?”
Zheng Wenan was sweating down like rain, and Emperor Jianhe had not yet registered the prince. The theory of the prince was a taboo in the court, but Huo Weilou dared to speak so bluntly, and he was right. The generations of the Anqing Houfu were mediocre and honest. The only chance is that the second majesty will become the prince, Zheng Yunni will become the prince, and the mother will be the world in the future.
Zheng Wenan swallowed with difficulty, “Master Hou, I know everything…have already said it.”
Huo Weilou looked at Zheng Wen’an, then waved his hand to make him retreat.
Zheng Wenan bowed his hands and bowed his back. When he left, his spine appeared rickety. Father Fu looked at him and felt sorrowful, “This fifth master is not a good cover-up, even the old slave can see that he has something to hide… Going on, I am not afraid that the marriage between the eldest lady and the second highness will really have variables.”
Huo Weilou’s eyes darkened when he heard the words.
For Anqing Hou’s Mansion, nothing is more important than Zheng Yunni’s wedding with the second Royal Highness. Only when the case is solved early, Anqing Hou’s Mansion will not be criticized during Zheng Yunni’s wedding. But at such a critical point, whether it is Zheng Wenyan or Zheng Wen’an, it is quite common. Cover up more.
Could it be that the secret of the Hou Mansion is more important than Zheng Yunni’s wedding?
Huo Weilou pondered for a moment, and called the embroiderer who guarded the ancestral temple last night. The mother had been chanting before the memorial tablet of the Zheng family. At dawn, she lost her voice again, but this time only a piece of incense disappeared. Later, mother Yu returned to her bedroom in the left compartment to rest.”
After a pause, the embroidered clothes envoy said, “Hoye, there must be a dark room in the Zheng’s ancestral hall. Can you search it?”
Huo Weilou’s fingertips tapped on the arm of the chair, and then his eyes were fixed, “Tell me—”
Before the word “go” in Huo Weilou’s building, an embroidered clothing envoy suddenly strode into the front yard. He walked very quickly and looked solemnly. As soon as he entered the hall door, he said solemnly: “Master Hou, the ancestral hall is on fire!”
“Fire?” Huo Weilou stared at him, the change suddenly occurred, but his words were still calm and steady.
The embroiderer nodded: “Yes, it’s on fire. The fire is so powerful that it can’t be saved.”
Huo Weilou had planned to search not only the ancestral hall, but also the entire Hou Mansion, but the order was not yet exited, but the ancestral hall caught fire. A dark glow appeared in his eyes, he stood up and walked out.
The Anqing Hou Mansion has a history of more than a hundred years. It was originally the residence of the former princes. It was bought by the Zheng family several times and renovated and renovated. The Zheng family’s ancestral hall was especially renovated. pass.
The pine and cypress have been verdant for a hundred years, but now, the tongues of fire and smoke from the roof of the ancestral hall are burning with the branches of the pine and cypress. As soon as the people of Huo Wei Tower walked out of the bamboo forest, they knew that the fire could not be saved. .
When he walked through the bamboo forest and stood outside the gate of the ancestral hall, the surrounding snow was roasted by the hot air blowing on his face, and the path was muddy, and the mother jade slumped under an old pine in the distance. Black and gray tears on the face.
“The servant is guilty, and the servant is ashamed to the ancestors of the Zheng family…”
Mother Yu tossed over and over again with only one sentence on her face, with horror and guilt on her face. Soon, Zheng Wenan and the rest of the Hou Mansion rushed to the scene in a panic. Bo Ruoyou took Chuntao and followed the second lady and Zheng Xiao to the outside of the fire.
Among the crowd, Huo Weilou saw Bo Ruoyou at a glance. Her always calm face was a little bit of astonishment. Obviously, she never thought that an important place such as the ancestral hall would be on fire. Soon, she looked professionally inquiring. Look inside and outside the fire scene.
The regret in Huo Weilou’s heart resurfaced.
At this time, Zheng Wenan angrily walked to Mother Yu, “Mother! How could it catch fire?”
The maidservant knelt in front of Zheng Wen’an and kowtowed her head and said: “The maidservant is guilty. The maidservant prayed for the old lady last night and stopped until dawn. Then suddenly there was a fire. The maidservant wanted to save it, but the fire was too big…”
Mother Yu choked out. Zheng Wenan saw her like this. She couldn’t scold her anymore, so she walked to the Huo Wei Building and said: “Holy Lord, the ancestral hall is lit all year round. Mother caught the fire because of her negligence. You are frightened. You should go to the front yard and rest. Let me take care of it here.”
Zheng Wenan looked sad, but Huo Weilou didn’t even look at him. “When the fire starts from the rear wing, the rear wing will also light up a bright light?”
Huo Wei Building entered the ancestral hall, and knew that the tablets were all placed in the main hall, and the eternal light was also lit in the main hall. However, at this moment, the tongue of fire was flying, and a roof behind the main hall was burnt and collapsed, mostly because of the earliest fire.
The fire has spread, and there is a feeling that the entire ancestral hall will be burned. Zheng Wenan heard this, and the dust in the sky could not stop the panic in his eyes. Huo Weilou had ordered the embroiderers, “Search all around. “
The embroiderers moved according to the order, and Bo Ruoyou also wanted to come closer when she heard the words, but she had just walked two steps forward, and the voice of Huo Wei Building could be heard from the back right.
“come here.”
Bo Ruoyou’s shoulders numb inexplicably, before looking back, he knew that Huo Weilou was calling her.
She turned around, and indeed Huo Weilou was watching her.
Bo Ruoyou walked to Huo Weilou and blessed his body, “Hou Ye—”
Huo Wei Tower did not respond again, and her eyes fell into the fire scene again. Bo Ruoyou was inexplicable at first, and then understood the meaning of Huo Wei Tower. Her heart moved slightly, and she did not go any further, but stood quietly back.
The cold wind howled, the fire was violent with the wind, and with a bang, even the roof of the main hall was burned and collapsed. This movement was shocked and everyone was watching and retreating in exclamation. Amidst the smoke and dust, the scorching hot wind in front of Bo Ruoyou was A stagnation.
She raised her eyes, and saw Huo Weilou standing in front of her, with his shoulders stern, as if it could cover the sky and the sun. At this moment, a shaky black ashes quietly fell on his shoulders. I just wanted to reach out and brush it off for him.
But at this moment, Bo Ruoyou smelled a very weak but pungent odor at the tip of her nose. She stared at her and turned around, and at a glance she saw Madam Yu, who was unconcerned in the distance, looking at the burning ancestral hall, her eyes decisive.
