At the entrance of Yinbingzhai.

Just as Ouyang Rong was about to speak, the crisp sound of wooden fish suddenly sounded in his ears, and his merits increased inexplicably.

Before he could react, the dull sound of wooden fish sounded in his ears again, and the newly increased merit was deducted again... There was basically no change.

Ouyang Rong looked a little curious.

But this kind of thing happened occasionally in the past, so it's not unusual.

"The merits are equal to the faults? What happened?"

He started to mutter.

At this moment, he found someone coming, and Xiao Mo Jing slipped back into his sleeve.

Ye Weilai came over and said softly:

"Tan Lang, Miss Xie and her aunt are here. They are Mrs. Xie from Yangzhou. Madam calls you to come over and receive them."

Ouyang Rong smiled and clapped his hands: "Okay, please help me first to see if it is correct."

"Well, that's right."

Ouyang Rong nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left, heading to the main hall.

Ye Weilai followed him, and the two walked forward together for a while. She suddenly noticed that Tan Lang stopped and stretched out his hand as if to touch his eyes.

"What's wrong Tanlang?"

Ouyang Rong waved his hand: "It's okay, let's go."

"Well, we can't keep Miss Xie and Mrs. Xie waiting for too long."

Ye Weilai smiled and continued to follow the advancing slender figure, thinking a little:

"By the way, Tanlang, tell me for a while whether Mrs. Xie will talk about you and Miss Xie..."

Ouyang Rong suddenly stopped slowly:

"Weila, has Liulang arrived?"

"I've arrived early. I'm eating melon seeds with the Nanlong people in the lobby."

"Call him over. I'll wait for him at the stable."

I saw Ouyang Rong turn around inexplicably, change direction, and go to the stable at the back door.

"But Miss Xie and Mrs. Xie..."

Ye Weilai was startled for a moment, but still nodded:

"Yes, Tanlang."

After a stick of incense.

Yan Liulang, who had grabbed a handful of melon seeds and rushed over, saw Ouyang Rong sitting upright in a carriage that had just been prepared at the back door.

"What are you doing in Mingfu? Aren't you going to pick up guests? Where are you going?"

Yan Liulang looked around curiously and asked.

Ouyang Rongzheng opened the curtains and stared in trance. Hearing this, he withdrew his eyes from the direction of Xingzifang.

He asked for no reason:

"Is there any news from Pei Shisanniang? When was the last time news came?"

Yan Liulang was stunned for a moment, cupped his fists and said:

"Report to the Ming Mansion, there is no abnormal movement in Xingzifang for the time being. The last news from Mrs. Pei was at noon. She sent someone over to meet with our people and discuss matters in the afternoon...

"We have agreed that at 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon, she will come by car and deliver the embroidery girl to her door in person."

In the carriage, Yan Liulang clasped his fists and reported.

After speaking, he glanced at Ouyang Rong with an expression that seemed to be thinking.

At this time, someone opened the curtain outside the car, and it was Ali, the groom, who poked his head in to take a look.

Yan Liulang found that Ali was dressed up and ready to go. He had fed Dongmei and looked like he was ready to go at any time.

Judging from his hesitant expression, he seemed to have been waiting for a long time and wanted to ask the Ming government for instructions on what to do next.

It seemed that the Ming government had just given him some instructions and asked him to prepare in advance.

Yan Liulang withdrew his gaze and asked cautiously:

"Is Mingfu worried about something? Did he discover something fishy?"

Ouyang Rong touched his right eyelid again and did not answer immediately.

He also saw Ali who wanted to come in and ask for instructions on what to do next, but he didn't reply immediately, as if he wasn't looking.

Ouyang Rong pursed his lips.

In fact, he didn't find any strange signs, but... from morning to now, his right eyelid was twitching frequently, and he felt a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart. This feeling was not strong, but distant, like a gossamer.

Coupled with the sudden increase and decrease in merit points just now, the two just superimposed.

Ouyang Rong said:

"It doesn't really count, I just suddenly thought of it and asked."

Having said this, he opened the car curtains and took a look at the sky.

The second quarter of Shen Zheng is 4:30 in the afternoon.

It's about half past two in the afternoon.

There is still about an hour before the embroiderer's scheduled arrival time.

However, Ouyang Rong knew that Xiu Niang was impatient and would only arrive early. Even if she arrived, she would wait outside. She would still come in advance to avoid being late and would never step on the spot.

While Ouyang Rong was sitting in deep thought, he heard Yan Liulang say:

"Mingfu, so far, the news coming from everywhere, including Xingzifang, is still within the normal response time. Compared with the past, I have not found anything unusual."

Ouyang Rong was quiet for a moment.

He said slowly:

"In this way, no matter how hard you work, Liulang will immediately go to several other places except Xingzifang and go there in person.

"You focus on checking three places. The first one is the Nanfang family in the city. Meet the Fang sisters. The second one is Li Yu in Chengtian Temple. Huaimin. See if Li Yu is there. The third one is Li Yu.

Go through the Jiuzhou Prison and check the prisoners... Go through it all, Rokuro, let's go now."

"Uh, yes."

Yan Liulang was so busy that he shook the melon seeds out of his sleeves and took the order with his fists clasped.

He wrote down the Ming government's deployment, found that one was missing, and asked:

"Hey, Ming Mansion, where is Pei Shisanniang and Xiu Niang's yard? Don't you need to go there? It's just on the way..."

Ouyang Rong calmly shook his head and pointed to the carriage at his feet: "I'll go over there, the carriage is ready..."

Just then.

Ye Weilai's voice came from outside.

"Is Tanlang here?"

Yan Liulang was silent. Ouyang Rong opened the curtain and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"

Ye Weilai curiously looked at the carriage ready to go and said:

"Tanlang, the eldest lady asked you why you disappeared, and asked you to hurry over. There are quite a lot of guests. Thank you girl and her aunt. The eldest lady is entertaining you, but there are new guests. They are the elders of the eldest lady's natal family.

She has to go to the door

After that, the eldest lady asked you to go back quickly to take her place and accompany Miss Xie and the others. By the way, I heard from Miss Xie that the little princess and the prince of Xunyang Palace are coming soon. On the way, they are distinguished guests, and they are only

Neng Tanlang entertained..."

Before Ouyang Rong could speak, Ye Weilai turned around and looked behind her, her expression stunned:

"Hey, Miss Xie is here. She should be here to see Tan Lang. Well, is Tan Lang going out?"

Ouyang Rong followed her gaze and turned his head to look, and sure enough he saw a fiery red figure like the sunset appearing on the corridor not far away.

He hesitated for a moment: "I want first..."

At this moment, Yan Liulang suddenly pulled Ouyang Rong's cuffs.

"Mingfu."

Ouyang Rong frowned and turned back.

Yan Liulang nodded heavily and said:

"In the Ming Mansion, leave the courtyard of Mrs. Pei and Miss Xiu Niang to Bei Zhi, plus the three places you just ordered. But Bei Zhi first goes to Miss Xiu Niang's yard and looks for Mrs. Pei.

Then just escort them back together."
