When Xu Hao heard something happened to Xu Song, he was surprised by it. He frowned and told everyone not to pack their bags and to continue to live in Xianghe County for a few days.

Xu Hao had no family affection for Xu Song, and the childhood memories in his mind had already blurred and gradually faded away. He hadn't seen each other for nearly a year, so he became even more unfamiliar.

The reason why I didn't move was entirely because I was no longer suitable for leaving at this moment and I didn't know where the brothers were. How could the brothers stay indifferent? I still went to Peking for a visit to Zhu Di and his wife?

Therefore, the personnel should be done. Since Xu Song was originally planning to come to the north, Xu Hao immediately ordered Li Qiu to bring more than half of the guards and requested the local government to send official missions to accompany the search. While drawing Xu Song's appearance, posted it on major traffic roads and city gates everywhere, and offered a reward of 500 taels of silver, he sent someone to ride a fast horse to inform Zhu Di, and asked the Yan Prince's Mansion to send troops to find someone.

Five days passed without realizing it, and there was no news about Xu Song. Xu Hao received another decree from the emperor, reminding him to return to Beijing before December.

Xu Hao couldn't guess Zhu Yuanzhang's intention, so why did he insist on rushing back on time? There was a faint premonition.

It was early October, and winter was coming to the north, and the weather was getting colder. I decided to wait a few more days before going to the Yanwang Mansion in Peking. At the latest, at the beginning of November, I would set off to return to the capital no matter what.

In the capital, although the old lady was worried about Xu Song's disappearance, there was still a glimmer of hope in finding the body, and he did not immediately organize the funeral. The old lady kept her promise and set Xu Ji's marriage on October 10th, hoping to bring blessings to her grandson with the joy.

The third wife, Liu, was crying all day long, and the old lady asked the second wife, Xiao, to accompany her every day.

The old man Xu Yaozu was inconvenient to go out because of his son's marriage, so he made his second brother Xu Qingtang and third brother Xu Zengfu take the Xu family and his future generations to leave Beijing to search everywhere. Xu Ji was a little depressed because of this. Compared to the family of his elder brother who had married that day, the grand occasion was unprecedented, and he could not compare with him.

··········

In the yard, Mu Ningxue and his maids stood at the altar with a pious look on their faces, respectfully sending the chrysanthemum fairy to abdicate aside, and then preparing to welcome the arrival of the plum blossom fairy.

Xu Hao stood in the room and looked at them, and sighed a little. It was because they were too bored. There were just a few programs to relieve boredom in the boudoir. It was better for ladies from the family who liked to read, write, paint, play the piano, write, write, write, write, write, write, write, and write, and write, and write. The spiritual world is relatively fulfilling. There is always something to be busy with in the year. Girls who don’t like these are too monotonous. It’s not that everyone cares about the trivial matters around them. They often get angry and quarrel around, but it’s because they are too idle.

Xu Hao turned around and continued to read Hongye's letter. He knew that the eldest sister and sister had moved to Zhuyuan. Later, because the garden was being renovated extensively, it was inconvenient for strangers to enter and exit. In addition to Luzhu, the sisters all rushed into the Zhuyuan with their personal maids, which made the Zhuyuan crowded for a while. However, everyone was crowded under the same roof, and they all felt it was fresh and interesting, and no one was clamoring to leave.

Besides, because of the second brother’s marriage and the fourth brother’s disappearance, you don’t have to think that the atmosphere at home has been very bad recently, so everyone had to hide in the bamboo garden.

Xu Hao thought to himself that his maids had suffered so much that they were idle. Fortunately, it would be almost done for a month, and he should have gone back then.

He put down Hongye's letter and picked up his sister-in-law's letter. It was a bit masculine and beautiful handwriting. Zhu Qiaoqiao complained in the letter, saying that she was not at home to help her, and she was almost exhausted. Now the second wife is with the third wife all day long, and she has to do everything by herself, without even a helper. When Xu Ji's marriage is completed, she will have to get seriously ill. Now she has to take medicine every day and can't sleep for two hours a day.

Xu Hao smiled lightly, and the lower part was complaining about his elder brother Xu Wen, saying that he originally wanted to find a military position for him, but after hearing the news, he was excited to turn back and become a new person, which was gratifying.

You can hear Xu Han run over and say that Xu Ji once complained while drinking, saying that he could finally leave this disgusting home. After going to the military camp, he could escape from the cage. At that time, the sky was high and the birds could fly, and no one could restrain him.

For this reason, Zhu Qiaoqiao immediately extinguished her thoughts and complained that it was all bad ideas from her mother, but she didn't tell Xu Wen, letting her husband continue to have his beautiful dreams and want to leave her control? Don't think about it.

Xu Hao shook his head and continued to look at the ten lines at a glance. It was all about the difficulties and complaints that Zhu Qiaoqiao encountered on weekdays, and the incomprehension from her elders, which made her feel aggrieved and asked when she would go back?

Xu Hao doesn't sympathize with his sister-in-law very much. He naturally faces countless troubles while enjoying power. It is inevitable that he will not be thankful. Who makes you greedy for power? Then don't think about everything going well. Is it good to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the housekeeper?

That is, Zhu Qiaoqiao, who seems to be wronged but is actually enjoying it. If she changes her body, she might be very troubled. Take Mrs. Da for example. It’s not that she doesn’t want to be a housekeeper over the years, but she really doesn’t have the means and energy to delegate power.

Putting down Zhu Qiaoqiao's letter, Xu Hao glanced at the other two letters, one of which was from his cousin Xu Zengfu and the other from his son-in-law Wang Ning.

Without looking at Xu Hao, he could guess what was written in it. He had received a secret report from the Yan Prince's Mansion five days ago. Zhang Lin was secretly sentenced to death because he actually wanted to assassinate himself.

Xu Hao was very glad that if Ningxue had not followed, he would have died like Xu Song. Just because of the small dispute at the beginning, he would have angered his political enemies or enemies in the future. I really don’t know how many dangers he would face?

It is fake to say that you are not afraid of it. When you are immersed, you can know how frightening it is when someone wants to murder you.

Although Zhang Lin is dead, what if there are still enemies hiding in the dark? This trip to the north seems to have blood covered in both hands. Who knows how many people want to kill themselves and avenge their families?

Xu Hao sighed and said to himself that, for his own safety, he could only continue to move forward forever towards the path of power without returning.

Xu Hao first opened Wang Ning's letter, which was written in a very obscure way that his son-in-law Zhang Lin died suddenly for no reason. The reason was unknown. He told his own people to take care of themselves in the north and to pay a good visit to His Majesty when returning to Beijing, and not to act recklessly.

No matter what, Xu Hao is very grateful to Wang Ning. Even though he is a hindsight, he also gets kindness. At the same time, he feels aggrieved. Comrade Zhu is the son-in-law you want to kill, why are you venting anger on me? It’s not what I want you to kill?

Now my life is in lingering, and maybe I will be killed inexplicably once I return to Beijing. Fortunately, we are fools and have a good reputation now. We are not an unknown little person in the past. One person can involve several prominent figures and families, and they are loyal to the old Zhu family with merits. I have to give a charge for killing me, right? Even Comrade Zhu may have to hesitate again and again.

Although Xu Hao was afraid of this, he was still calm. As long as Zhu Di protected him, Comrade Zhu would not easily kill him, but his life would be difficult.

No, Xu Hao's face suddenly became very ugly. He hurriedly reached out and teared open Xu Zengshou's letter, and saw four big words on it, "With your hand, the Wang family is in danger!"

After a long time, Xu Hao put in a word: "Grass!"

At the same time, Monk Daoyan smiled happily and said with a blunt smile: "Marquis Dingyuan is probably not long before his life, and General Fu may not be able to escape death. With the death of these two famous generals, the prince's chances of victory have increased a lot."

Zhu Di frowned and said, "Why did the two families still insist on marrying the nobles even though they knew that the emperor had murderous intentions? Isn't this seeking death?"

Monk Daoyan smiled and said, "One time, the Lan Yu case has been settled, and the birds in the Jinyiwei have been kept hidden. Without a huge crime, Your Majesty cannot issue an order to kill people. Both generals understand this very well. Marriage is just the last method of self-protection. At least under the banner of getting married, they can secretly transfer their property to the opportunity.

At the worst, it is that you just lose your life and will not implicate the entire family, so that your family can have food and clothing in the future. The emperor will not even confiscate the Xu family and destroy the family, right?"

Zhu Di smiled bitterly and said, "Duke of Wei is my king's father-in-law. If the father really made up his mind to kill him, my whole family would have to go to Beijing to die."

Monk Daoyan smiled and said, "The more famous generals die in the court, the more I guarantee that the prince will be safe, because if you don't come to take charge of the north, who else can you rely on him?"

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "I know the temper of the emperor too much. If I really want to kill me, I will never dare to resist it. Fortunately, I have never done anything that disappoints my father. There are two brothers on it, and a few younger brothers around me have divided most of my military power. It is not the turn to suspect me."

Monk Daoyan nodded and suddenly said, "The prince must be at ease. On the contrary, the young master of the Xu family is in trouble this time."

Zhu Di asked, "What do you say?"

Monk Daoyan said: "The prince-in-law Zhang Lin died tragically because of Mr. Xu, and the princess became a widow. With His Majesty's character, this account must be settled. Because he was concerned that the prince, Mr. Wei and the Mu family, Xu Hao has made contributions and will be spared the crime of death. Recently, he sent someone to urge Mr. Xu to return to Beijing.

The monk dared to speculate that the death of the two generals must be on Xu Hao, and he would use his hand to eliminate future troubles. In this way, Xu Hao was not only unable to face his second sister-in-law and the Wang family, but also instantly offended countless relatives and friends of the Wang Fu family, his disciples and his soldiers, and they were all targeted by public criticism. They may not be killed one day, and in short, their lives will not be easy in the future."

Zhu Di frowned and thought for a moment, and said coldly: "I cannot plead for Xu Hao, otherwise it will be bad if the emperor's dissatisfaction. It is probably because the heavens give great responsibilities to this man. If Xu Hao is lucky enough to die, I will definitely be a good life to compensate him in the future."

Monk Daoyan chuckled and said, "Although this boy is cunning and wise, without the protection of the prince, he is afraid he will be doomed this time, so he can only return to the capital as the sharp blade in his hand. However, with his intelligence and agility, his life should be worry-free. However, the more cunning he is as fox as a fox, the less the emperor will make him feel better. There must be more intense means."

Speaking of this, Monk Daoyan's heart trembled. He thought of a possibility. He looked at Zhu Di, who was thinking about things with his head down, did not notice his incompetence, and quickly picked up the tea.
