Chapter 46 What happened to the Hou Mansion?
Bang!
Gently putting a chess piece on the chessboard, Luo Xiang glanced at Zheng Xingye opposite and said with a smile: "Xingye, I think you are still out of your mind now, but are you still thinking about the matter in the Yuyu Building?"
Zheng Xingye shook his head and said, "It's not the case. I'm thinking about this game of chess."
"Oh?" Luo Xiang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Then do you think of the key to this game of chess? But there is still a chance to flip? I'm about to eat your big dragon!"
"If you are not easy to talk about when facing others, but I know your chess path very clearly. I want to get a bargain with me?" Zheng Xingye snorted coldly.
"That's right!" Luo Xiang smiled with his palms, "You are the one I know Zheng Xingye. I thought he was taken over by someone!"
Zheng Xingye was stunned and then laughed: "It makes you worry."
Luo Xiang said, "I'm really not worried. I know you can come out sooner or later. What is Li Huai's thing? It's just that he is not as good as you," Luo Xiang sighed, "I still remember that you met you and I had a crush on your aunt's strategy of plotting your family's property in your ancestral hall. Then the concubine's son rose up and won two yuan in a row to shine on his family's lintel!"
"It's all the past, what's the matter?" Zheng Xingye's lips curled up, but he still said lightly.
"This is enough to show..." Luo Xiang was still talking about it, but suddenly news came from there, saying that the person who had sent out to investigate the news had been returned.
So, Luo Xiang didn't care about the chess game anymore and hurriedly stood up and said, "Why did it take so long? Forget it, let someone come here first!"
"What's wrong? Could it be that something happened at home?" Zheng Xingye also stood up, "Since that's the case, I'll take my leave first, if there is a need..."
"Don't leave, don't leave, just to stay," Luo Xiang laughed, "so that you can find out that I, a servant, are going to help you find out the news."
Zheng Xingye said with a puzzled look: "Please inquire?"
"That's right," Luo Xiang nodded and explained in detail, "I know you are unhappy. The lady of the Wei family asked a playboy to take it away. No one would be happy if it were changed. It would be fine if others were just others. Zheng Xingye is my friend, how can you be depressed? Just when we came back, we first saw the Duke of Xiaoguo gathering people. After we came back, someone from the yamen came to inform me, saying that Li Yu was leaving in a hurry. I kept my heart and sent someone to the Marquis of Dingxiang to investigate, but the man never returned!"
Zheng Xingye immediately understood: "This is something that has been discovered."
"Yes, so you can listen."
When Luo Xiang was talking to Zheng Xingye, the servant sent out had already returned. He looked quite embarrassed and looked anxious.
Luo Xiang knew something was wrong as soon as he saw it, so he asked, "What's wrong with you? I asked you to inquire about the news. Why did you go there for so long? No letter came during this period!"
The servant knelt down and cried bitterly, saying, "It's so that the master can find out that the villain has taken a huge risk when he has passed by this time, and he almost won't see you!"
Luo Xiang couldn't help but surprise and quickly went over to comfort him. It took a while to calm the man. Then he glanced at Zheng Xingye, and both of them saw a solemn look in each other's eyes.
"...I accidentally caught someone and locked them up in a dark room. There were guards outside, and they could not escape at all, and they were even more frightened."
After hearing a few words, Luo Xiang asked, "Do you know who caught you?"
The servant shook his head and said, "From the beginning and the end, no one came over, only two servants came over to interrogate," he said that he looked ugly, "These people threatened the villain and said they wanted to torture, so, so..."
"So you confessed me?" Luo Xiang's face looked ugly, but he immediately took a deep breath, "I will settle the score with you later! Let's talk about the situation first, what have you found? If there is nothing and the news is leaked, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" the servant said quickly, "I didn't ask anything at all, but after those people let me go, I became more careful, turned around, inquired around, and found an insider, and then I knew the reason!"
"Insider?" Luo Xiang suddenly felt energetic.
The servant said, "Yes, it was the gangster from Dujiazhuang outside the city. He said he had collected money and came to help the boxing."
"Whose money has you collected?" Zheng Xingye suddenly asked.
"It's from the Li family of Dingxiang Marquis." The servant replied, "I said they had asked them to take the money, gather people, and wait outside the Marquis' mansion, but I didn't say it clearly. The one I encountered was delayed because of the matter and was too late. After saying a few words, I left in a hurry. However, the master gave all the copper coins and gave them to the man, otherwise he would not want to say that because of the Li family, he would have asked him to keep it secret."
"It's like this?" Luo Xiang frowned, looked at the servant again, asked a few more questions, and waved his hand, "Okay, I understand in general, you can go down first."
The servant said shyly: "That villain's this time..."
"It's a merit or a demerit. You have to wait until this matter is clear before you can decide. You can go down first."
After sending the servant away, Luo Xiang asked Zheng Xingye: "What do you think about this?"
"The information is not complete yet, and it is impossible to make an accurate judgment," Zheng Xingye said, noticing Luo Xiang's expression and changing his subjects, "However, the recruiting idlers gathered next to the Marquis' Mansion, but they acted secretly. The person who paid for it was the Marquis' Mansion. Thinking of the body of Dingxiang Hou and the movements of the Li family in your yamen, the Marquis' Mansion would be uneasy."
He immediately showed a sense of worry.
"Why are you still worried?" Luo Xiang didn't care when he saw it. "If something really happened to the Marquis' Mansion, the unlucky one must be the arrogant playboy. I'm not too late to watch the fun!"
Zheng Xingye shook his head and said, "Li Huai is certainly not worthy of being cherished, but this matter has nothing to do with Miss Wei. If she also affected the fish in the pond, how could I bear it?" As he said, his worrying became even stronger.
"The fruit is a passionate seed, no wonder those little girls are all inseparable from you!" Luo Xiang showed admiration, "Well, then I will send someone to inquire again. If something really happens..."
Zheng Xingye said firmly: "If there is really something wrong, even if there are many difficulties, it will not stop me. I will definitely save Miss Wei from the water and fire!"
Luo Xiang looked full of admiration: "Okay, since you said that, I will do my best." After that, he arranged for someone to go over and investigate.
But the news that came back this time was not clear. I only knew that Dingxiang Hou had an emergency. Then many relatives of the Marquis' Mansion gathered together, even the old man outside the city was alarmed. But in the end, these people left in a hurry, and the entire Marquis' Mansion was closed and no one was allowed to enter and exit at will!
After receiving this news, Zheng Xingye became more and more worried. He said to Luo Xiang: "The Marquis' Mansion is really turbulent! It is very unfavorable to the Wei family's wife!"
Luo Xiang was puzzled, so he asked the reason.
"The Marquis' Mansion is now weak and strong. The Marquis of Dingxiang is seriously ill. Li Huai is even more unbearable. In this situation, if there is any change, it will definitely be a magistrate. The news you have received will be mentioned. Even the old man outside the city has gone, probably to suppress the prestige of the master!"
Luo Xiang also understood and sighed, "If this is the case, then the legitimate one will be in danger!" Then he saw Zheng Xingye hurriedly leaving, and he quickly grabbed him, "What are you going to do?"
"Of course I'm going to save Miss Wei," Zheng Xingye said without hesitation, "You don't have to worry. I already have a plan. Although there is danger,..."
"Don't be fooled!" Luo Xiang frowned, "The situation is not clear now, how can you take risks easily? What's more, it's the Marquis' Mansion. No matter what, Madam Wei said, he is the wife of the Marquis' Mansion. If you go over here rashly, you will definitely gossip for others, and you have to make a long-term plan!"
Zheng Xingye said anxiously: "If those people really want to act, Li Huai and others will not be able to protect themselves. How can they protect Mrs. Wei?"
Luo Xiang said, "Don't be confused. No matter how you say that Mrs. Wei is from the Wei family, the daughter of Mr. Wei. Those people have a proper attitude. But you have passed by now. Once you lose your losses, you can't even explain it clearly. Let's calm down first. I will go to the yamen tomorrow to see how Li Yu will do. Then arrange for someone to inquire in detail. If it really doesn't work, go to my uncle. He always has a way to inquire!"
"But..." Zheng Xingye hesitated a little.
Luo Xiang said tactfully: "No, but, you will stay here today. When there is any news, I will inform you immediately!"
Zheng Xingye sighed and nodded at the end, "Okay, I just hope that Miss Wei can be safe."

"Husband, come and try this."
In the Marquis' Mansion and Zhiyuan Xuan, Li Huai was enjoying his wife's service with a confused look on his face. He sat on the chair, and the table beside him was filled with meals, while Wei Ruxi was holding a bowl of soup, blowing it gently, and then scooping the soup with a small spoon.
"I heard that this bowl of soup has been very popular in Zuixianlou recently. Many high-ranking officials and nobles often taste it. I also asked my boyfriend to get it. Try it while it's hot." As he said that, he was about to feed it.
"Yeah..." Li Huai was very uncomfortable, but he was always hard to refuse. He just felt that it was too inconsistent. After all, your personality changed too quickly, and you were not reserved? There would be no fraud, right?
At this moment, the system narrator suddenly jumped out: "...I'm really speechless to you, 1 point."
Li Huai was stunned when he heard this. He was thinking about how to increase the amount of complaints. Now it was enough. He was drinking soup while asking questions. At this time, Li Chang suddenly came in and said that it was Li Shen who came.
"It's up!" Li Huai was immediately excited and was about to talk to Wei Ruxi, but he didn't expect that the latter had already put down the bowls and chopsticks, nodded and said softly: "Husband is busy with the important work first, I'm waiting here."
"Uh... OK." Li Huai took a deep breath, then quickly got up, walked out the door, turned his head and said, "If you are sleepy, go to bed."
Wei Ruxi nodded slightly without answering.
