Yingtian Prefecture is today Nanjing. In his previous life, Li Weizheng didn’t know how many times he had been to Nanjing, but after six hundred years, except for the willows in Mochou Lake, the warm and fragrant jade of Qinhuai River, the beautiful and beautiful scenery of Xuanwu Lake, and the rushing and flowing eastward, this city has changed a lot for him, so it is hard to find his appearance.

The carriage drove into the capital through Jubao Gate at night. The capital was not as bright as he imagined, with flowers blooming, and the streets were a little deserted. Occasionally, the lights of a family flashed past the car window, but it was mostly dark at night. From time to time, wild dogs barking came from the streets and alleys. Teams of fully armed soldiers patrolled and set up checkpoints on the streets, carefully checking the documents and items of passers-by, and were on high alert, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Stop!" A team of soldiers stopped the carriage from afar.

"Young Master, follow them and don't put money in. Something big may happen in the capital." The driver who drove the car was very nervous. This situation has not happened in Beijing for several years.

"Music girl, take this." Li Wei had already encountered an inspection at the city gate. With experience, he handed the small box containing money to the Music girl. She was a woman, and ordinary soldiers would not make things difficult for her.

The carriage slowly stopped, and several soldiers stepped forward and asked, "Who are you and why are you driving at night."

Li Wei was jumping out of the carriage and bowed, "June, we came from Fengyang to find relatives in the capital. We just entered the city."

I heard that it was from Fengyang, and the face of the chief flag officer who led the team was obviously relieved a lot. He checked the Lu Yin between Li Weizheng and the mute girl, and bowed and said, "We are following the rules. We do things according to the rules, searching for men but not women, searching for big but not young people, please don't blame me."

He waved his hand and an extremely strong soldier held him down, making him unable to move. Two soldiers searched Li Wei's body carefully, one left and one right, while the mute girl stood aside with a small bamboo box, and no one went to harass her. More than a dozen soldiers came forward to carry all the luggage in the carriage down and checked them one by one, very carefully.

Li Wei was standing aside and watching coldly. He thought the soldiers were searching for money, but the situation in front of him was not, but the real inspection, just like the strict investigation in later military exercises, meticulous. He couldn't help but be surprised. Could something really happen to the capital?

After a while, after the inspection was completed, no prohibited items were found. The soldiers put his luggage back into the carriage, "You can go now." The chief flag officer knocked a chapter behind his back with a "bang": After verification, he took the soldiers away.

The carriage restarted, and Li Wei was curious and said, "Uncle, what happened to the capital?"

"I don't know, I guess I'm going to kill someone again! When Guo Heng's case was happening, the capital was so nervous. I happened to be there, and the soldiers investigated it all the way."

Li Wei nodded, and he stared at the dark night fog outside the window, with an unknown premonition in his heart, "The Li Shanchang case may have erupted."

He looked at the night outside the window intently, but did not notice that the mute girl's face was as white as paper and her eyes were closed tightly.

"At this time, this is the northernmost end of the three alleys of Xi'anmen. You see, my son!" The coachman pointed to a mansion not far away, "I guess the place you are looking for is there."

"Okay! Wait for me." Li Wei was jumping out of the carriage and quickly walked up the steps. He buckled the door knocker hard. Soon the small door next to him opened, and a middle-aged man in his fifties came out, "Is there anything wrong with this young man?"

Li Wei was taking out the jade sign, and a flash in front of his eyes, the middle-aged man suddenly felt awe-inspiring, "You are Mr. Li! I have been waiting here for a long time on my master's order."

Li Weizheng felt a warmth in his heart. As the prince's emperor, he was still thinking about him. He hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not be a good person. I am here as promised."

"Needless to say, my master has given an order that Li Weizheng from Linhuai County will be regarded as a guest of honor." The middle-aged man leaned his head and shouted in the door. More than a dozen family members ran out of the mansion to help Li Weizheng move their luggage. Li Weizheng pointed at the mute girl and smiled: "This is my pampered sister, who is lonely and helpless. I have brought her too. I will rent a house for her outside and stay in your mansion for one night tonight."

The middle-aged man smiled, "It seems that Mr. Li doesn't understand the meaning of the guest of honor. Mr. Li will have a separate courtyard in the mansion, with more than a dozen rooms, which are like the owner, so of course he can bring his family."

"Then I'll disturb you." Li Weizheng led the mute girl to the mansion with the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was the housekeeper here. Along the way, the housekeeper introduced him that this was the mansion of the prince Taibao Changsheng. Changsheng was the second son of Chang Yuchun, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty. His sister was the crown prince's concubine. He was one of the confidants of the crown prince Zhu Biao. However, Changsheng happened to go out to train troops yesterday. Before leaving, he specifically instructed the housekeeper to receive Li Weizheng.

"Uncle, I want to find out something."

The butler heard that he respected him and felt very helpful, and quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Li is so polite. The Chang Mansion is strict. Just call me the butler. What do you want to ask?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Wei lowered his voice and said, "I just entered the capital and found that the guard was very strict. What happened in the capital these days?"

"This..." the housekeeper hesitated, and he said awkwardly: "I am a servant, so I can know what I can do, sir, don't ask."

Seeing that he refused to say something, Li Wei smiled and stopped asking. They walked through a flower wall. The old butler pointed ahead and smiled, "Mr. Li, you have arrived at the place where you live."

I saw a small courtyard in front of me, with a two-story house with a bridge and eaves, which were very delicate and surrounded by trees, just like a palace in the forest. The mute girl suddenly said softly, and her eyes showed a look of joy. It was obvious that she liked this place very much.

"I also like green trees. In the future, we will buy a house like this." Li Weizheng said to the mute girl in a low voice.

When the mute girl heard him say 'we', she felt sweet in her heart, and a red glow flew across her cheeks. Fortunately, the night was covered up and Brother Li couldn't see it. The butler smiled and took them into the courtyard. The two maids immediately came up. The butler said to them solemnly: "This is Mr. Li, the master has repeatedly told him. He must serve him with all his heart. If he dares to neglect, I will punish him severely."

"What is this?" The housekeeper wanted to introduce the mute girl, but he didn't know her name. Li Weizheng hurriedly said, "This is Miss Guo, I'm here to be a good girl. Please take her to change clothes first!"

"Please, Miss!" The two maids stepped forward and gave a obediently. The mute girl didn't know why her elder brother wanted to go first. She was a little nervous, but she was from a big family and still understood some etiquette. She smiled at Li Weizheng and left with the two maids.

Only Li Weizheng and the butler were left in the yard. He looked at the butler and smiled without saying a word. The butler understood what he meant, smiled bitterly in his heart, looked at both sides, and lowered his voice: "Jian Marquis Lu Zhongheng, Pingliang Marquis Fei Ju was arrested for the Hu Weiyong case, and the rest of the party is searched in the capital."

'It turned out to be not the Li Shanchang case', Li Wei was secretly relieved and asked again: "What news is there in the capital recently?"

The housekeeper thought for a while and said, "There is a saying in the city that the prince was assassinated in Dingyuan County. The day before the assassination, Grandmaster Li asked Duke Xinguo to borrow 300 troops to repair the old house, which was suspected of being assassinated."

Li Wei was stunned, why is it such a coincidence?

"Okay, it's getting late. Mr. Li, please rest early. I won't disturb you if you have a maid to serve you."

The old butler explained a few words and left. Li Wei was quickly walking up the small building. The small building was arranged very elegantly. The three rooms above and three rooms below. The rooms above were not separated by bricks and stones, but were all separated by carved and exquisite wooden boards. The colorful gold and treasures were inlaid with treasures. The pictures, whether birds or beasts were all from the hands of everyone. Famous porcelains of the Tang and Song dynasties were placed in spaces. The rooms of the entire building seemed elegant and luxurious. This arrangement was extremely rare in the Mingchu, which advocated simplicity.

When the two maids saw Li Wei going upstairs, they stepped forward together to show their salute, "See the young master, we have already brought the water for washing up."

"You guys have a rest first! We are a little tired, and want to rest early."

Li Weizheng was a little uncomfortable. Although his family was a landlord, there were only two maids in the family, who were all serving his father and stepmother, and only one old servant brought him tea and meals. The main reason was that he had not been in the Ming Dynasty for a long time and could not adapt to the life of being served by someone for a while.

The two maids looked at each other, and both bowed obediently and went down without saying a word. There was no one serving around him. He suddenly felt light and walked into the room quickly. He saw the mute girl sitting in front of the bed and folding the clothes she brought. Seeing Li Wei coming in, she leaned her head back and pointed to the back, and asked him silently, "Is they leaving?"

"Let's go, I'll send them away."

Li Weizheng waved his hand indifferently and said, "I said we want to rest early."

The mute girl's face suddenly turned red, she glanced at him with some complaints, and stuttered: "You sleep next door!"

She picked up a clean set of clothes and stuffed them to him, and pushed the talker to the next door.
