Chapter 2368 Going to the Marquis’ Mansion

"Let's talk about Wu Fan looking for housekeeper Zhao's family first." Qi Kai pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, I'm not optimistic about it."

After a pause, Qi Kai continued: "I believe you, Guan Shangshu, have arranged for someone to find him, but you probably don't have a clue yet, right?"

Guanzhuo nodded. As soon as he learned about this incident, he arranged for people to search for Butler Zhao's family, but so far there is no clue, let alone finding anyone.

"This is completely expected." Qi Kai said: "Then Hou Yi is also the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He can't be too confused when doing things. Since he has arrested someone, he will naturally hide the person carefully in a difficult place. Where he was found, what’s more, he was afraid that someone would find him and he might have silenced him in advance.”

Guanzhuo nodded again. This was what he had thought before. Obviously, Qi Kai had the same idea as him.

"Let's talk about Wu Fan." Qi Kai continued: "He is not from the imperial capital, but from a remote county. He has no connections at all in the imperial capital. How can he find people here if he is unfamiliar with the place? Maybe? In his territory, it is not a problem for him to find someone, but this is not his territory. It is undoubtedly very difficult for him to find someone. "

Guanzhuo was silent.

Although he said before that he didn't believe he could find it, seeing Wu Fan looking so confident, he actually still had some expectations in his heart.

But now, Qi Kai's words brought him back to reality again.

Yes, this is the Imperial Capital, and Wu Fan is not from the Imperial Capital. He is not even familiar with the streets here. How can he find someone?

Finding people here is undoubtedly more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.

"Let's talk about Wu Fan's purpose of coming to see us." Qi Kai saw the disappointment on Guan Zhuo's face, but he couldn't comfort him because he didn't believe that Wu Fan could find someone. It was useless to comfort Guan Zhuo without conscience. , the lie will be exposed sooner or later, and when the time comes, Guanzhuo will feel even more uncomfortable.

"When Wu Fan first came, I was also confused about his purpose, but after thinking about it just now, I can probably guess his purpose." Qi Kai continued: "When the late emperor was still here, he once deprived him of his fiefdom. Although he seems to have a good relationship with the Seventh Princess, the Seventh Princess was not in the imperial capital at that time and could not stop the late emperor. Now that she is back, but the late emperor is gone, she does not have much influence and still has no way to change this decision. Therefore, I I feel that if he took the initiative to find us or even offered us courtesy, he was probably here for his fiefdom.”

"He wants us to help him restore his fiefdom?" Guanzhuo asked.

"Other than this reason, I really can't think of any other reason for him to take the initiative to approach and show kindness." Prayer said.

Guanzhuo thought for a while, nodded, and said, "It makes sense."

Guanzhuo couldn't think of any other explanation. After all, he and Wu Fan had no previous friendship. Wu Fan couldn't be so enthusiastic about him, so he must have something to ask for, and the matter of fiefdom was the most likely.

"It's just that we are just ministers. How can we decide the ownership of his fiefdom?" Guanzhuo said.

The Yanfeng Kingdom attaches great importance to titles and fiefs, especially the late emperor, who was very harsh on rewards for titles and fiefs. How can ordinary ministers have the right to decide such important matters?

Even if there is no one on the throne now, ministers like them cannot get involved in this kind of thing, and their words are of no use.

"Maybe he doesn't understand this situation. After all, he is from a small place and has never been a high official." Qi Kai said: "Or maybe he wants to leave a good impression on us and wait for the new emperor in the future. Ascend the throne so that he can speak for him."

Guanzhuo thought for a moment, nodded, and then shook his head.

"What you said makes some sense. If it were an ordinary person, I think it might be true, but Wu Fan..." Guanzhuo said: "I always feel that he is not that simple. You just saw it, his temperament He is definitely not an ordinary person. When people from a small place see the two of us, their legs will feel weak. But not only does his legs not feel weak, he is also calm and relaxed. "

Qi Kai thought for a while and found that Wu Fan did not seem to be as timid as other people who came from a small place.

"Then why did he take the initiative to show his kindness?" Qi Kai asked.

Guanzhuo shook his head and said: "I can't think of a reason, but he just said that we will know in the future, so let's wait and see."

Qi Kai nodded.

After Wu Fan left Guanzhuo's house, he did not go back, but went straight to Hou Yi's house.

"I want to see Hou Shangshu." Wu Fan said to the guard.

"Who are you? We, Lord Shangshu, can you see us whenever you want?" The guard did not announce, and even prepared to drive Wu Fan away: "Go quickly, don't be an eyesore here."

"I'm from the palace. I have something to discuss with you, Lord Hou. Are you sure you don't want to inform me?" Wu Fan said calmly: "If something goes wrong, are you sure you can bear the consequences?"

The two arrogant doormen instantly became hesitant when they heard what Wang Hao said.

"Are you really from the palace?" one of the guards asked.

"If you waste any more time, I'll go back right now." Wu Fan said with a straight face.

After saying that, Wu Fan made a move to leave.

"My lord, please stay, stay, I will go and inform my master right away."

Seeing that Wu Fan was really about to leave, the two doormen panicked. One of them quickly turned around and entered the mansion to inform Hou Yi.

They were not sure of Wu Fan's identity, but they did not dare to let Wu Fan go. What if Wu Fan really came from the palace, and indeed had something important to discuss with Hou Yi, then if they did not let Wu Fan in, wouldn't it be a big deal?

They were just ordinary guards, and they could not bear the consequences of this matter.

Soon, the guard hurried back and said to Wu Fan: "My master invites you in."

Wu Fan nodded, and under the guidance of the guard, he went to Hou Yi's mansion.

At this time, Hou Yi was sitting in the hall waiting for Wu Fan in confusion. He had just returned from the palace, and he didn't know why someone suddenly came from the palace.

In theory, no one in the palace should send someone to find him now. After all, the old emperor was gone, and the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne. There were only the concubines of the previous emperor and the princesses who were still married in the palace. These people obviously would not take the initiative to contact him.

Therefore, Hou Yi could not think of anyone coming to him, and he had not figured it out until Wu Fan was brought to him.

"Who asked you to come?" Hou Yi asked directly.

"No one asked me to come." Wu Fan said lightly: "I wanted to see Minister Hou myself."

"Who are you?" Hou Yi frowned and his tone became a little gloomy.
