Chapter 198 What the Hell?

The capital is calmer than imagined.

This was what Wang Ye thought after returning to Beijing.

Without Mr. Origami, the emperor lost his eyes, and the whole city no longer had those black and white guards, which also made Wang Ye want to take a walk and take a look.

But something feels wrong!

"Shopkeeper." After finding a teahouse, Wang Ye found a relatively quiet location in a corner, but it was not absolutely quiet. The capital seemed to be a lot more lively. The business of such small teahouses was very good, and there were people everywhere. The whole thing is boiling.

"Hey, Sir, do you have any instructions?" Seeing Wang Ye wearing a long gown, the shopkeeper quickly and politely served tea in person.

"How come the capital has become so lively in the past few months?" Wang Ye asked curiously.

"Isn't it because of the war?" the shopkeeper sighed.

"Is there a war?" Wang Ye narrowed his eyes: "Is there a war in Jiangnan?"

"What kind of war is that in the south of the Yangtze River?" the shopkeeper said amusedly: "With the Duke of Qin personally taking action, who would worry about it?"

Wang Ye nodded when he heard the words. The Duke of Qin had a great reputation, and most of the people, especially those in the capital, were extremely trusting. Moreover, Jiangnan was completely blocked, and even if there were refugees, they could not get out. The excitement in the capital should not be caused by Jiangnan.

"That is?"

"You don't know? There's a rebellion over there in the north!"

"North?" Wang Ye choked on his tea and put down the cup: "When did it happen?"

"Your Majesty, you really don't know?" the shopkeeper whispered quickly: "It has been spread all over the world. The Duke of Wei has united with the northern countries to say that our Majesty has been deceived by monsters and wants to be righteous. All the Dukes and Lords in the capital have been dragged away. I went to suppress the north, it’s been a month since I left.”

"One month?" Wang Ye was stunned. One month, isn't that the time when the eldest princess leads the team to Jiangnan?

He said, with the emperor's narrow-mindedness, how could he send the eldest princess to check and balance the Duke of Qin? It is clear that the Hong family and the Yuchi family are the most loyal and suitable.

The eldest princess has been living idle for many years, and it is very wrong to suddenly lead an army.

So what did the eldest princess do in the capital? Can you get the command power of the Golden Dragon Guard?

What is the situation in Beijing today?

What is Your Majesty's attitude now?

Why do people around me seem to know nothing about the situation in Jiangnan?

"So these people came to the capital from the north to escape the chaos?" Wang Ye asked tentatively.

"Isn't it?" The shopkeeper nodded: "Most of them are rich businessmen or have relatives around the capital. Hey, the capital has been made into a mess. You don't know, those country bumpkins are in the north. I’m used to eating big bowls of tea, and people who come here often say that we’re cheating people. Isn’t this how we’ve been doing business for so many years? Do these country bumpkins think the tea here can be compared with the local tea in the north?”

While he was chattering, he looked back and found that Wang Ye had disappeared at some point. He was startled, and then he felt relieved when he saw the copper coins on the table.

It’s better to be a scholar.

On the street, Wang Ye walked towards Yuchi's mansion with dignity!

Along the way, it seems that the people are not worried about the situation in Jiangnan. Is it because the court concealed it too well, or is the news not transmitted at all?

The eldest princess has rebelled against the country, all 300,000 Golden Dragon Guards have been lost, and Duke Qin's entire army has been wiped out. For such a big thing, wouldn't the civil and military officials of the court be waiting for me to report it?

Is it possible that everyone in the capital, including the emperor, knows nothing about the current situation in Jiangnan?

Wang Ye felt a little ridiculous. Didn't the emperor and the major families have any intelligence?

The eldest princess can handle it so cleanly, even though her own people have come from Jiangnan, there is still no news?

What is going on in the imperial court now?

Wang Ye felt that before going to the palace to report, he still had to do some more research. In the entire capital, the only person he trusted was Yuchi Peng.

——

"It's unfortunate that Master Shaoqing is here. It happens to be the time when the master and Master Peng are exchanging values. Please wait a moment."

The person who came to receive the reception was the former old housekeeper. Wang Ye was very familiar with this housekeeper. He was an old man of the Yuchi family who was said to have been serving the Yuchi family when the older generation of the head of the family was still alive. He was over a hundred years old. The old man of the Yuchi family When something happens to Taijun, this person will be his personal butler.

"Sorry to trouble you." Wang Ye said politely.

The old butler just smiled, but when pouring the tea, he still asked: "Master Shaoqing."

"Um?"

"Is the demon who harmed the old lady really dead?"

Wang Ye was stunned and looked at the other party with some doubts. Discussion of the life and death of the Thousand Faced Fox was forbidden. After all, the original case involved too many things. Not only something happened to the old lady of the Yuchi family, but also the Queen Mother.

Logically speaking, not to mention an old housekeeper of the Yuchi family, even the old head of the family should not be allowed to inquire about this matter. Why did he suddenly mention it?

"This old slave is just curious. Don't blame me, Mr. Shaoqing." The old butler smiled and refilled Wang Ye's hot tea and said, "Old slave, I will leave first. If you have any orders, Mr. Shaoqing, just ask the young man to come to me." "After Master Peng comes back, I will ask him to come to you as soon as possible."

"Excuse me." Wang Zhiyi felt a little strange and stood up to see him off.

"My lord, you're welcome."

After the other party left, Wang Ye suddenly felt a little strange. The location where the other party left seemed to be the courtyard where the old lady once lived. But as far as he knew, after the old lady passed away, the old Yuchi patriarch seemed to have sealed the courtyard because he was too sad. Already?

Just like that, I don't know how long it took, Wang Ye smelled a hint of the fragrance of the food, then stood up in confusion and looked at the sky.

As a warlock, his Qi-sinking skills are very strong. Even in a semi-meditative state, a few hours can pass quickly for him, but this does not seem to be normal for a Yuchi family who wants to receive him.

It's already evening, no matter what, it's time for Yuchi Peng to come back, right?

Thinking of this, Wang Ye moved outside and suddenly saw a group of servants carrying dinner plates to the central courtyard. They were all large pieces of meat, and the smell was fragrant.

"Eh? Sir Shaoqing?" A middle-aged butler who was responsible for instructing his servants to serve dishes suddenly saw Wang Ye and hurried forward: "When did you come?"

Wang Ye looked at the other party blankly, didn't he come at noon? Wasn't this housekeeper still greeting me before?

Is this deliberately neglecting yourself?

This actually makes sense. After all, the death of Old Taijun Yuchi was indeed related to him. If the demon fox had not deceived him, he would not have chosen to do anything to Old Taijun. Strictly speaking, it was said that Old Taijun was killed by himself. , doesn’t seem to be too much.

Although the old lady is a mortal, she is very respected in the Yuchi family. It is normal for her not to be welcomed.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye suddenly felt a little presumptuous. When Yuchi's family was doing business, he had not been able to comfort Yuchi Peng because he was under investigation. Things became more complicated later, and he never visited him. Now that something happened, he Thinking of the other person, this does not seem to be a normal way for a human being to deal with things.

Eh?

Why do you say that?

"Hey, what a goddamn slave you are. Wang Shaoqing, you didn't even entertain you properly when you came. If the young master knew this, wouldn't he scold us to death?" The housekeeper said quickly: "Wait a moment, young master. I will inform the young master right now." ”

Wang Ye took a look at the scale of the dishes being served and asked, "Is it a gathering of Yuchi's family today?"

"Hey, today is Master Peng's birthday. Master Shaoqing, you are also here to congratulate the young master, right?" the housekeeper said with a smile.

Wang Ye is silent, birthday

I seem to have forgotten.

"Forget it, I remembered that something happened at the moment, so I took my leave first. Please say hello to Brother Peng for me."

"Hey, sir, don't be like this, we servants can't afford to do this," the housekeeper quickly stopped.

Wang Ye frowned and glanced at him. The other person's expression didn't seem to be mocking him, but he was really anxious. Did he really forget that he had seen him at noon?

Just as he was thinking about it, a familiar voice stopped him.

"Hey, is it Wang Shaoqing?"

Wang Ye looked over and saw that the person speaking was a tall, dark-skinned young man. Wang Ye recognized him. He was one of the concubines of the Yuchi family, Yuchi Feizhan. He remembered that he was a very pragmatic guy, and his personality was not as good as that of Yuchi Feihong. As violent and arrogant as Yuchi Feihu, he is not as favored and favored as Yuchi Feihu. He is an inconspicuous guy.

However, he remembered that the other party seemed to be working in the north. There was war in the north, so why did he come back instead?

"Where do you come from, Mr. Shaoqing?" The young general stepped forward and saluted with thoughtful etiquette and a sincere smile, somewhat similar to Yu Chipeng.

Wang Ye nodded: "I came at noon."

"Why didn't anyone notify me? These slaves!" Anger suddenly flashed across the young man's face, and then he hurriedly said: "Master Shaoqing, please join me at the table. My brother will be very happy to know that you can come to attend his birthday. of."

Wang Ye hesitated for a while, and finally nodded. It was always more important to get information. Yu Chipeng seemed to be in charge of the imperial army together with the old family leader. It would be most suitable to find out from him how the eldest princess obtained the military power.

After all, a large part of the control of Jinlongwei is managed by the Yuchi family!

"Who will receive Wang Shaoqing at noon? I will teach you a lesson later!"

Wang Ye smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessary. Uncle He is old, so it's normal for him to forget about me for a while."

He was not worried that the old butler would be taught a lesson, after all, his qualifications were there.

"Uncle He?" As soon as Wang Ye said these words, the young man's face froze.

"What's wrong?" Wang Ye asked curiously. He suddenly found that the people around him had weird expressions when they heard the word "Uncle He".

"Young Master, please don't joke." Yu Chifei frowned: "Uncle He passed away a month ago because he missed the old lady too much."

Wang Ye: "."
