Xia Xun calmly asked: "How do you save it, go back to the mansion directly, and let your eldest brother release the only possibility is that you are also locked up by your eldest brother, and you will never be free again." ” Xu Ming'er sobbed and said: "But the third brother is like a prisoner now, Fang Xiaoru's group is still unrelenting, you also know, this emperor is a person who has no idea, what if he changes his mind one day and wants to kill my third brother again?"
Xia Xun let out a long sigh and said, "Don't cry, we naturally want to save people, but we also have to pay attention to methods to save people, it's not that you come to the door to save them so openly, understand?"
Xu Ming'er was still teary-eyed, but she was already pleasantly surprised, and said: "If you are willing to help me find a way, I will know that my uncle is the best, and my uncle is the most powerful liar, and he will definitely be able to save my third brother." ” Xia Xun was a little embarrassed, and Xu Ming'er hurriedly explained: "I'm not hurting you, I'm praising you." ” Xia Xun said: "Okay, I know you're praising me, I don't help, it's strange that you little girl is willing to spare me." ” Xia Xun sighed, and added another sentence in his heart: "Not only you, since I already know about this matter, if I don't make the slightest attempt, your eldest sister will not forgive me, and even His Royal Highness King Yan may have a big pimple in his heart."
Governor Xu, are you dead or alive now, anyway, I took a risk for you, and I saved my life for your righteousness, and I have to pay back this affection."
Xia Xun said softly to Xu Ming'er: "Okay, if you want to save people, you have to have strength first."
You sit down first, eat something with peace of mind, and let's discuss how to save your third brother out. ” Xu Ming'er has great trust in Xia Xun's ability, since he promised to help him save the third brother, in Ming'er's heart, the third brother escaped is undoubtedly a thing, originally, think about Xia Xun's actions in Beiping, and then think about his feat of saving the "three little pigs" from Jinling, he has a great ability, and he is a good person who has a bad idea in the blink of an eye Xu Ming'er sat down as she said, picked up the rice, handed a grain of rice to her mouth, and looked at Xia Xun with a wink, looking pitiful.
Xia Xun just tore an elbow and stuffed it into his mouth, seeing her like this, he had to put down his chopsticks and talk about business first, he tried to swallow that big mouthful of meat, coughed, and said: "We have to understand the situation in the house first, where your third brother is being held, and how many people are guarding."
But we can't have direct contact with the Zhongshan Palace.
Since the court suspects that he is a secret spy of King Yan, while strictly guarding him, how can he not be wary of someone to save him, and no one can not rescue him, but put us in.
With such a large mansion as Zhongshan Wangfu and a population of thousands, there are always people who come and go often to buy what the palace needs, among these people, you can have more familiar and reliable people."
Xu Ming'er blurted out: "My Xu family slaves are all old people passed down from father to father, no matter whether they leave the Zhongshan Mansion or betray the Zhongshan Palace, there is no way out, all of them are very reliable." ” Xia Xun stared at her and said, "I mean, I am very close to you, or to your third brother, so that you will not be the one who reports to your eldest brother." ” "Oh" Xu Ming'er put down her chopsticks, held up her chin and thought seriously.
After thinking about it for a long time, her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "With Qiaoyun's father Hu Tianluo, he is the second manager of the kitchen."
His daughter Qiaoyun is my personal girl, and in the first two years, his wife was seriously ill, and I gave him my own private money."
Xia Xun intercepted: "This person is reliable" "Reliable, absolutely reliable" Xu Ming'er said firmly: "The Xu family has such a big door, and the family is a slave, and it is also divided into two rooms and three rooms, he is my person, and he has no courage to betray me."
Xia Xun bowed his head and said: "That's it, let's eat well, let's go to him when we go back, and let's learn about the situation in the palace first." ” Early the next morning, the Xu family's grocery shopping car went out of the side door and squeaked towards the downtown area of the chicken coop.
There are thousands of people in the Xu family, and the consumption of fresh vegetables and meat is amazing, and every purchase has to be loaded in a cart.
Hu Tianluo, the second steward of the kitchen, followed the car slowly, the steward of the kitchen was a fat poor, because his wife was sick, and he often had to buy some medicinal materials, the little lady was kind, and specially instructed the third master to arrange him to work in the kitchen, Hu Tianluo was grateful to Dade for this, and did things in this position, even if he didn't have to be greedy for ink from his hands, just with the Xu family's daily purchase, the grain and oil shops and vegetable stores that took the initiative to promise him benefits are there, and these people often have to send him some benefits, which are enough to supplement the family.
As he was walking, a big fat man suddenly came to him, and when he saw Hu Tianluo, he laughed and came up, grabbed his shoulder, and shouted affectionately: "Old Hu, you are really a busy man, it is rare to see you once, I asked you to drink last time, why don't you come out." ” Hu Tianluo was thin and small, with two mouse whiskers, and was hugged by this tall fat man, just like a father hugging his son, this fat man also had a fox smell, which made Hu Tianluo dizzy, he looked up at this person, seemed to have no impression at all, and couldn't help but say: "You recognize the wrong person."
"That's right, that's right, Hu Tianluo, it's you, haha, I picked your skin and burned it to ashes, Lao Tzu recognized you.
Don't you just owe me two dollars, brother, don't rush to ask you, what are you doing hiding from me. ” The man laughed loudly, and suddenly lowered his voice and whispered two words urgently, Hu Tianluo was a little angry, and was about to break free of his arm, but after listening to his whisper, he suddenly quieted down, and the man smiled: "Let's go, it's better to meet by chance, let's have a drink or two drinks in the store on the side, you didn't come last time, this time you have to invite me." ” Hu Tianluo turned his head and instructed the guys in charge of the purchase, so that they could drive to the market, and he obediently followed the fat man into a tavern on the side of the road.
In the tavern, two tables are next to each other, here sit the fat man and Hu Tianluo, one step away, in front of the other table sits a white-bearded old man, and there is a little girl sitting opposite him, because the little girl has her back to the door, she can only see her back, look at the age, it seems to be the granddaughter of the white-bearded old man.
The fat man ordered a few side dishes to drink, and Hu Tianluo pushed the cup to change the lamp and was very affectionate, and he looked at it coldly, it was really like a pair of friends who had reunited after a long absence.
Outside the tavern, a few pedestrians from near and far patrolled, their eyes faintly alert, examining the other pedestrians.
"Lao Hu, where is my third brother locked up?"
The little girl didn't turn her head, and asked in a whisper as she pulled the dishes on her plate.
Hu Tianluo also lowered his voice and said: "The third master is locked up in the "Pavilion" in the West Garden. ” The little girl asked, "How many people are in charge?"
Hu Tianluo said: "There are not many people, only four generals, but the eldest master has ordered, the third master does not dare to go out of the "like a brocade pavilion" half a step, these days the second lady and several young ladies crying begging the eldest master, want to see the third master, but they are not allowed." ” "No one is allowed to see my third brother" "Of course not.
The eldest lord brought the brocade guard to arrest the third master that morning, and only in the evening did he use the car to bring the third master back, directly opened the corner gate of the west courtyard, and escorted the third master into the "like a brocade pavilion", hey, it seems that the eldest master is really hot, and the third master is now in prison."
The white-bearded old man coughed, stroked his beard, and asked in a low voice: "How is the situation of Wei Guogong these days, tell me carefully." ” This white-bearded old man is Xia Xun, Xu Ming'er looked at him in surprise, she didn't understand what he asked his eldest brother to do, Hu Tianluo didn't recognize him, and he was a little surprised, so he didn't answer.
Xu Ming'er said: "Old Hu, just answer." ” "Yes, I" Xia Xun stared at him and said, "Say it slowly, be careful" Hu Tianluo was stunned, and then he thought about it and said: "On the night that the eldest lord and the third master were imprisoned in the "Elephant Pavilion", the eldest lord went to the ancestral shrine alone, asked the ancestor for guilt, and knelt down for a night, and then the eldest lady went, kneeling and begging at the door of the ancestral hall, and the eldest lord came out.
In the past few days, the eldest man has not seen any outsiders, and he has not even returned to the back house, so he lives in the study.
Alas, the eldest lord is also very angry, in the end it is his own brother, the eldest lord is loyal to the court, and he can't help but tell the third lord what he has done, but he is also worried that the emperor will really kill the third master. ” Xia Xun thought for a moment and asked, "How is the amount of food that Wei Guogong has eaten these days?"
Xu Ming'er and Hu Tianluo were stunned again, not understanding what he was asking for, Hu Tianluo thought for a while, and replied: "I ate very little, in the first day or two, I took back as much food as I wanted to go to the study, and I only started to eat in the past two days, but the amount of food was much smaller than before." ” Xia Xun's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked again: "So, has Wei Guogong ever been to the "Like-Jin Pavilion"?"
This is not within the scope of Hu Tianluo's care, but in the past few days, Xu Mansion has been discussing such a thing, he naturally heard others talk about the movements of the eldest master, so he said: "Lao Hu didn't see it with his own eyes, but I heard the chief steward say that the eldest lord has been to the "Pavilion" a few times. ” Xia Xun nodded and was silent.
When Hu Tianluo and his fat friend, whom he hadn't seen for many years, were still drinking with cups, the white-bearded old man had already led his little granddaughter out of the hotel and walked hobbly down the street.
After turning a few alleys, the grandfather and grandson disappeared.
In the guest room of a small inn, Xia Xun, who was dressed as a businessman, and Xu Ming'er, who was a young man, sat on a bed and a stool, and talked opposite each other.
"Uncle, we want to save my third brother, what are you doing when you ask my eldest brother so many things" "I wonder if it's a trap."
"Trap" Xu Ming'er was stunned for a moment, and then came to her senses: "No, no matter how ruthless the eldest brother is, he is always his own brother, he is loyal to the emperor, he has to sue the third brother, he must not feel good in his heart, the eldest brother's performance is not special."
"Well, you don't have to worry, no matter what, we always have to find out, even if it's a heavy mechanism, Longtan Tiger's Den I just want to be as careful as possible."
Xia Xun said, took the blanket, took out the paper, pen and ink cartridge from it, spread it out on the small square table, and said to Xu Ming'er: "Come, you draw as much as possible in the West Cross Courtyard, and explain it carefully to me." ” "Good" Xu Ming'er hurriedly agreed, spread out the paper, and while drawing, she explained to Xia Xun seriously, "Our Zhongshan Mansion is mainly divided into two parts, east and west, the east courtyard is the main house, behind the wall is the gate, the front hall, the second hall is the living room, and then the back house, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother's residence is divided into courtyards, all of which are nearby.
The west courtyard is mainly a garden, and occasionally there is an embroidered boudoir, which is where the daughter of the Xu family who has not left the pavilion lives.
Originally, the embroidery house of the three sisters is now occupied by the eldest brother and the second brother's room, and my residence is also in the west courtyard.
The west courtyard is composed of a main garden, five small gardens into petals, the main garden is called Jing Miao Hall, originally my residence, "like the Jin Pavilion" on the west side of Jing Miao Hall, is one of my study houses, there are green tile low walls outside the study house, outside the low wall is the wall Yong Road, and then go out to the street" Xia Xun walked slowly under the shade of the roadside on the west side of the Zhongshan Palace, thinking about what Xu Ming'er told him, while quietly looking at the Zhongshan Palace, although he deliberately stood on the other side of the road, through the high wall, he still couldn't see the situation in the courtyard clearly, and could only faintly see a corner of the cornice, which must be where the "Pavilion" was, Xia Xun frowned, looked up, and saw the "Sanyou Pavilion" restaurant in front.
This restaurant is across the street from the Zhongshan Palace, and the approximate location of the Jintang is a little behind, if you climb to the three-story building, you must be able to see the situation in the courtyard clearly.

Although he had seen the movement of the Zhongshan Palace, after all, he did not know much about the buildings at that time, and only the scenery of the mountains and rivers and pavilions remained in his impression, and he did not remember the specific location of the roads and buildings in the meantime.
Xia Xun thought about it and walked away, and in the evening, he came to this restaurant again, still dressed like that, but he didn't let Ming'er follow.
The eyes of the little two in these restaurants are very poisonous, and they will not forget for a long time if they see a guest, if Xia Xun changes his clothes again, I am afraid that they will be suspicious, so Xia Xun still pretends to be a businessman, and he still goes up to the third floor when he enters the restaurant, and chooses a private room that is most suitable for observing the scenery of Zhongshan Wangfu.
Xia Xun moved the chair to the balcony of the fence, quietly observed the movements of the Zhongshan Palace, and thought quickly in his mind: "The emperor put Xu Zengshou under house arrest, just because he took care of the Zhongshan Mansion as the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, even if he is so, will Luo Yishi easily let go of this opportunity In their eyes, Xu Zengshou is the most successful eye and ear of my Flying Dragon secret spy rebellion, and now that Xu Zengshou has fallen into their hands, will he turn around and become a bait for the court to fish?"
After thinking for a long time, Xia Xun showed a mocking smile on his face: "In public and private, this Xu Zengshou must be saved, and if I can save it, I will repay Xu Dudu, and I also have an explanation for the Yan Wang family, if I can't save it, at least Li Jinglong and Mu En's side will be safer." ” He leaned against the thick hugging pillar and poured himself a drink, leisurely like an old man fishing by the river.
Through the afterglow of the setting sun, until the picturesque garden is firmly engraved in his mind To be continued:
