"Amber House?"
Zhang Fanmiao hadn't had time to speak, but the other people present screamed in surprise.
"He Liu, are you crazy?" Zhang Fanmiao also turned to look at He Liu, and said, "Do you know that the entire Earl's mansion is haunted after Long Live today ordered the confiscation of Earl Ann's mansion? Can the prince live in a haunted house?"
The Amber Mansion He Liu mentioned was originally the residence of Anhua, Earl of Qianyang County.
Speaking of this Anhua, he can be regarded as a founding hero. During the Hongwu period, he was granted the title of Qianyang County Bo, but after Zhu Di entered the palace, Anhua publicly supported Emperor Jianwen and spread the news that Emperor Jianwen was killed by Long Live today. Rumors spread, so he was arrested by Jin Yiwei and sent to imperial prison.
At the same time, Zhu Di also ordered the confiscation of Anhua's family property and the annihilation of the three clans.
He Liu hesitated for a moment when he heard Zhang Fanmiao's words, and said hesitantly: "Grandpa, isn't there nothing we can do? It is said that the Anbo Mansion is haunted, but has anyone really seen it? It's just that the successive owners of the Uncle Mansion later They are just telling lies."
"That won't work either!"
Zhang Fanmiao shook his head, and said worriedly: "As the saying goes, there are no waves without wind. If there were no ghosts, would the subsequent owners of the Amber Mansion sell the Amber Mansion at a low price after living for a period of time? Wan If the prince finds out about this matter afterwards, then those who wait for me will die."
He Liu was also a little anxious: "Grandpa, are you still caring about those things? Our Qianyang County is not far from Qinghua County, and the prince is just staying with us for one night. After one night, the prince will leave Leave, the ghost knows they live in a haunted house?"
Hey, what He Liu said is right, of course the ghosts know that Zhu Song and the others live in a haunted house!
Zhang Fanmiao thought so too. The few inns he had arranged before could accommodate six to seventy people. Their Qianyang County is not as big as Fufeng County, and there are no such big inns.
There are more than 300 people in King Han's party, so we can't let the remaining 200 people sleep on the street, right?
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Fanmiao looked at the weather and said, "Because it's still early in the day, He Xiancheng, hurry up and arrange for people to tidy up the Amber Mansion. You must not let the prince see the abnormality of the Amber Mansion."
"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely handle this matter properly!" He Liu responded, then took a coir raincoat from a yamen servant, and led more than 20 yamen servants away in a hurry.
Fortunately, Amber Mansion has been looking for a buyer, and the weeds and furnishings inside are easy to clean up. After some rest, Amber Mansion no longer looks like a haunted house.
……
After entering Fengxiang Mansion, Zhu Song and his party slowed down because of the winter rain.
Through the car window, a tall city wall was seen in the distance, Zhu Song said: "Huang San, where are you?"
"My lord, if you go further, you will be Qianyang County." Huang San and Han Qingshan were driving the car. Bai Fu and Liu Changsheng were worried about Zhu Song's safety, so they asked Zhu Song to take the two masters of the palace with them.
"Qianyang County..." Zhu Song stroked his chin and said, "After entering the city, go to the county government first. I believe those county officials have been waiting for a long time at the county government."
"Yes." Huang San replied, raised the whip in his hand, and threw it on the horse's buttocks.
Da da da!
Qianyang county government, seeing through the rain curtain a large group of people coming towards the county government, this group of Qianyang county officials who were shivering in the cold in front of the gate of the county government immediately cheered up.
"Your Majesty Zhang Fanmiao, magistrate of Qianyang County, welcome His Royal Highness King Han and Your Majesty to Qianyang County!"
In front of the yamen, Zhang Fanmiao led a group of subordinates to salute respectfully in the direction of the carriage in the winter rain, letting the heavy rain soak them through.
In the team, there were majestic soldiers striding forward holding a giant umbrella about seven feet long, and greeted Zhu Song and Xu Wanjun who were on the carriage.
Looking at the group of officials in front of him who were twitching from the cold and still arched their bodies, Zhu Song waved his hands and said, "Excuse me, gentlemen!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
Zhang Fanmiao was really afraid that the master would blame them for not welcoming them at the city gate.
"Okay, gentlemen, be careful of catching a cold outside in the rain, so hurry up and get into the yamen!" Zhu Song said, looking at the county yamen officials who were drenched as if they were soaked.
"Yes!"
A group of officials surrounded Zhu Song and walked towards the county government office. At this time, He Liu hurried back.
"Grandfather, the mansion has been tidied up, and we're waiting for the prince to move in." He Liu reported to the county magistrate Zhang Fanmiao regardless of how wet he was.
It wasn't that he didn't see Zhu Song, but that he was in a state of confusion and didn't have the guts to argue with Zhu Song.
Zhang Fanmiao understood He Liu's mood at the moment, so he introduced it to Zhu Song with a smile: "My lord, this is He Liu, the magistrate of Qianyang County. He arranged a place for you and your empress before, but it was a little late. .”
He Liu is very good at observing words and expressions, so he just saluted Zhu Song at this time: "Your Majesty, He Liu, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Han, Your Majesty! Your Majesty and Majesty please forgive me for being late!"
"He County Prime Minister is being polite." Zhu Song stepped forward to help He Liu himself, and said, "He County Prime Minister has arranged a residence for this king, and this king also needs to thank you!"
"I don't dare!" He Liu didn't dare to take this issue, but he didn't dare to say it repeatedly.
"My lord, you have been exhausted on the journey, and the officials have already arranged a banquet in the back office to welcome you!" Zhang Fanmiao said while leading Zhu Song and Xu Wanjun to the back office.
"My lord is really tired after traveling for days and days, but today I have to worry about Mr. Zhang!" Zhu Song smiled at Zhang Fanmiao and said.
"My lord, you are being polite, these are what lower officials should do!" Zhang Fanmiao didn't even dare to say so.
……
This meal was a feast for the guests and the host, and when He Liu led Zhu Song and others to the Amber Mansion where the sign had been removed, it was already the end of the unitary hour.
"My lord, this was originally an earl's mansion. The residence that Mr. Zhang arranged for you before was not suitable for you, so you arranged it here."
He Liu introduced the Amber Mansion to Zhu Song, "The mansion is divided into front, middle and back courtyards, and the three courtyards can accommodate more than 200 people. My lord, look..."
"A room for more than 100 people is enough." Han Qingshan interrupted at this time, "After entering the mansion, I will lead 150 soldiers to protect the safety of the uncle's mansion."
"Well, He Xiancheng, I have nothing else to do here. You must be tired after a busy day. You should go back to the mansion and have a rest!" Zhu Song sat in the main hall of the front yard of Amber Mansion, Started ordering.
"Then... I will resign as an official!" He Liu wished to leave here sooner, after hearing Zhu Song's words, he hurriedly said hello, and left here as if fleeing. (To be continued.)
Chapter 186 The Female Ghost
It was late at night, and the winter rain outside had been falling for six full hours. Although it was much quieter now, the sound of scattered drizzle could be vaguely heard outside the window.
In the backyard of the Amber Mansion, in Earl An's dormitory, Zhu Song and Xu Wanjun just laid down together.
Leaning her head on Zhu Song's shoulder, Xu Wanjun suddenly said: "Husband, why did I feel that when He Xiancheng left the uncle's mansion, there was something wrong with his face?"
"Huh?" Zhu Song was stunned for a moment, frowned, thought carefully for a while, and said, "Hearing what you said, there seems to be something wrong, maybe it's because the weather is too cold, and because of the winter rain, I feel a little unwell Bar."
"I don't feel like a concubine!" A woman's mind is always delicate and sensitive, and Xu Wanjun still feels that something is wrong, but she doesn't know where the problem is.
"Forget it, what do you want to do so much?" Zhu Song shook his head slightly, hugged Xu Wanjun's shoulder tightly, and said, "It's been a tiring day today, let's take a rest quickly, and if the sky clears tomorrow, we still have to hurry !"
"Well, the concubine obeys my husband." Xu Wanjun nodded obediently.
……
When the ugliness was approaching, the winter rain finally stopped falling, and the moon, which had never shown itself from the beginning to the end, showed a smiling face from the sky, but the moonlight was not too bright.
In the uncle's mansion, Han Qingshan divided 150 elite soldiers into five teams, 30 people stayed outside Zhu Song and Xu Wanjun's bedroom to guard, 30 people were stationed outside the rooms where the soldiers slept, and the remaining 60 people were divided into five teams. The two teams patrolled back and forth in the Bo Mansion.
