Chapter 7
Since Ying Huaizhen's disappearance, Li Xianshu thought of the "white-bearded old man" story that Ying Huaizhen told him, and couldn't help but blame Ying Lanfeng, only saying that he was obstructed by Guo Jianyi and Ying Gongfu, and was uncertain about the matter of sentencing Guo Jizu.
Ying Lanfeng was full of remorse, and ignored Guo Jianyi, only sentenced Guo Jizu to behead the prison marquis with a black face, and threw him into prison, so he mobilized people to look for Ying Huaizhen everywhere.
It was mentioned before that when Lin Shenzhou talked to Xiao Tang, he mentioned that Ying Lanfeng had offended the government again in the past two days, which was what he was referring to.
Yesterday, because it was late, the person in charge of reporting to Taizhou arrived at the third watch in the middle of the night, and in front of Ying Lanfeng, he simply told the abductor that he was arrested on the street...... Ying Lanfeng and Li Shuxian were surprised at first, and hurriedly asked where Ying Huaizhen was, but the person didn't know the origin of Lin Tang and the others, and only vaguely said that Ying Huaizhen was taken to Taizhou by two businessmen.
The two couples listened, they didn't know what to do, they worried all night, and the next morning, Ying Lanfeng wanted to rush to Qizhou, Li Xianshu also didn't sleep all night, and couldn't help but make a few more noises.
When the two couples heard this, they immediately stopped talking together, Ying Lanfeng ignored it, lifted up his robe, and ran out like a gust of wind.
Looking at the girl from afar, the tears in Ying Lanfeng's eyes were like springs, and he shouted "Zhen'er", rushed over and hugged Ying Huaizhen in his arms, dear in every way, and completely ignored the two around him.
At this moment, Li Xianshu also rushed out, and saw Ying Huaizhen at a glance, the hanging heart finally settled, and she fell out in tears while holding on to the pillar.
At this time, Lin Shenzhou and Xiao Tang were beside them, and they took a good look at Ying Lanfeng, but they saw that his clothes were not very neat, his ears were red from being pulled by Li Xianshu, and there were tears in his eyes...... It's really good to look at, but it's just ......
Ying Huaizhen was embraced by Ying Lanfeng, almost out of breath, the corners of his eyes swept to Lin Tang's side, and he couldn't help but shout: "Dad!"
Ying Lanfeng half-knelt on the ground, hurriedly answered, looked up at Ying Huaizhen's face, and suddenly felt sad again, hugged her and cried: "My real child has lost weight, he must have suffered hardship......"
The corners of Ying Huaizhen's mouth twitched, and he had to raise his voice slightly: "Dad, it was these two kind uncles who saved me, and you haven't thanked anyone yet." ”
Lin Shenzhou and Xiao Tang had seen enough, and the taste in their hearts was really strange...... Listening to Ying Huaizhen's words, they looked at each other and smiled, and at this moment, Ying Lanfeng woke up like a dream and looked up at the two of them.
Ying Huaizhen also looked up at the two of them, although her face remained calm, she sighed helplessly in her heart: God knows that her father is like a god, and he must have a belly of martial arts, actually......
In his previous life, how did he climb to the position of a high-quality Shangshu and a supreme minister?
It's a pity that there is no way to grab Ying Lanfeng's ears like her mother and tell you: These two are big gray wolves and tigers in front of you, Dad, you must show yourself well, otherwise people will bite you to pieces and there will be no scum left!
However, Ying Lanfeng is not an ordinary person after all.
Ying Huaizhen was pampered too well in his previous life, the court and political affairs were not concerned at all, and with the protection of Ying Lanfeng and Li Xianshu, no dirty things of adults could ever be disturbed...... She only knew that her father was a powerful minister, but she didn't know how powerful Ying Lanfeng was.
Ying Lanfeng has only two weaknesses on his body, Li Xianshu and Ying Huaizhen, so no matter how small he is in front of the two, he is just a little low, after all, he also grew up in the Ying Mansion, and he has been a saint in front of the palace, and he has been an official in Taizhou for four years, and he has managed a county to manage 10,000 people...... How can it be just a straw bale?
After listening to Ying Huaizhen's introduction, Ying Lanfeng looked up and saw the two of them, then stood up, covered his face with his sleeves covered, turned his head slightly, and gently wiped away the tears in his eyes, and when he looked up again, the sour and sad face was swept away, replaced by an elegant smile with a clear breeze.
Ying Lanfeng raised his hand and said, "It turned out that it was two gentlemen who rescued the little girl!
Ying Huaizhen was dumbfounded, in front of her, her father, who was still verbose and sad, suddenly became a fully qualified Ying Zhixian, and this instant transformation skill is really not the same as idleness.
Lin Shenzhou and Xiao Tang were admiring the touching situation of the reunion of father and daughter, and suddenly saw Ying Lanfeng standing up with his sleeves blowing, and his image was dazzling...... However, after all, everyone is a good player in the officialdom,—— needless to say, Lin Shenzhou is an old and spicy backbone, and Xiao Tang is the mainstay of the imperial court in the future, an alternative master......
The two raised their hands in unison and saluted, saying, "My lord's words are serious!"
Lin Shenzhou squinted his small eyes, shrunk his shoulders, and looked a little flattered in his eyes, and Xiao Tang was also respectful and cautious.
Ying Huaizhen, who witnessed this qiē, twitched the corners of his mouth a little.
Ying Lanfeng stood with Lin Shenzhou and Xiao Tang in such a posture, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled at each other...... It's not two cunning foxes anymore, it's like three cunning foxes.
But only Ying Huai sincerely knew that the two outsiders present at the moment were indeed genuine foxes, and the other one was ...... At best, it's just a fox skin.
Because Ying Lanfeng at this moment, whether it is qualifications or scheming, is not at the same level as the two people in front of him, fortunately, his appearance is more bluffing.
At this moment, Li Xianshu finally stepped forward, saluted Lin Shenzhou and Xiao Tang happily, and went inside with Ying Huaizhen in her arms.
Ying Huaizhen was in Li Xianshu's arms, and he looked back frequently, very worried.
was looking, but saw Xiao Tang turn his eyes to look at her, smiled slightly, Ying Huaizhen leaned his head on Li Xianshu's shoulder socket, and sighed heavily in his heart.
Li Xianshu hugged Ying Huaizhen to the back room, and asked her what happened before, Ying Huaizhen said as simply as possible, only saying that her family was fine, Li Xianshu was not at ease, and carefully looked at Ying Huaizhen's clothes, and saw that there were no scars on her body, so she sighed: "Thanks to my baby's great fortune and great life, and people love her, I have never been tortured by that thief, and I really feel sorry for my mother." "My nose was pantothenic, and I burst into tears.
Ying Huaizhen raised his little hand and wiped his tears for Li Xianshu: "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine, and the bad guy was also caught by adults......"
When Ying Huaizhen said this, he sighed in his heart, and vaguely thought: It was precisely because this kidnapper met her that Zhang Zhen was not arrested, and now he is even more exempt from future troubles.
Li Xianshu was even more moved when she saw her so sensible and caring. Ying Huaizhen asked: "Mother, I heard you say that there were relatives at home the day before yesterday, what about the relatives?"
Li Xianshu was stunned: "What relative?" suddenly understood: "Are you talking about the little son of the Guo family?
Ying Huai was still concerned about Guo Jizu's case in his heart, and when he heard that he was gone, he asked again to understand.
It turned out that after Ying Lanfeng sentenced Guo Jizu that day, he thought that Guo Jianyi would turn his face, but the little boy was still indifferent, not to mention the slightest anger and corruption, and his attitude became more and more gentle.
Ying Lanfeng took and returned the fish gelatin bird's nest he had given before, but Guo Jianyi refused to accept it, and he was in a hurry, so he brought three points of melancholy, frowned, and said: "Although I came this time for my cousin's business, wouldn't I give my niece a little meeting gift? This is just an ordinary courtesy between relatives, and it is not to buy off my cousin...... If you want to do that, you won't be able to bring these worthless things with you, and now my cousin insists on asking me to take some back, is it because he is afraid of being suspicious, or blaming me for coming rashly?
Ying Lanfeng saw him like this, so he had no choice but to accept it, Guo Jianyi raised his hand to say goodbye, and did not dwell on Guo Jizu's case anymore.
Ying Huaizhen heard the details, and his heart fell to the ground, and he was really happy.
However, one thing is over, and another comes out heavily.
Ying Huaizhen took advantage of Li Xianshu's departure, quietly ran out of the room, and came to the flower hall in front, she tiptoed behind the rockery, tiptoed to probe, and saw a happy scene in the hall from afar.
But if you look closely, you can find the clues, on the surface, it seems to be talking and laughing, and talking very happily, in fact, there is a secret eye contact between Xiao Tang and Lin Shenzhou, the waves are turbulent and the sword light and sword shadow, the two swords are combined, singing and harmonizing, cooperating seamlessly, and quietly testing the depth of someone.
I only heard Ying Lanfeng say hatefully: "I should cut that kidnapper with a thousand knives, I want to send an official letter to Qizhou Mansion, and please transfer the thief over as soon as possible." ”
It was about Lin Shenzhou who told Xiao Tang about the abduction, so Ying Lanfeng hated that person very much.
Lin Shenzhou smiled and said: "This thief should indeed be cut by a thousand knives, I heard that he confessed, at first he wanted to tie up the young master of the Zhang family in your land, and he ran into Ling Ai by mistake." ”
Xiao Tang nodded and said: "This thief turned out to be a habitual offender, all of whom were aimed at the rich and noble, he was used to taking children away and extorting ransom in the air, but this is a ruthless person, even if he got the ransom, the child may not be able to come back intact, once he is targeted, it is extremely difficult to escape the poisonous hands, this time Ling Ai is for the Zhang family to prevent this catastrophe, fortunately there is no danger." ”
Originally, if the crutch fell into the hands of the yamen, they would not pay much attention to it, and most of them would only be interrogated lightly and then thrown into the prison, but the people of the Qizhou Yamen had seen Xiao Tang's waist card, so they didn't dare to relax at all, pulled the thief into the lobby, and tried all eighteen methods to interrogate, the thief had never suffered like this, and he confessed to the cases he had committed in the past one after another.
A few months ago, he had just committed a big case in Jingnei, and he actually tied up the son of one of Jing Zhaoyin's concubines, and Jing Zhaoyin's family handed over the silver, but the child was gone...... Therefore, there was an uproar in Beijing, and the wind was very tight, so this person fled all the way to Taizhou, and also targeted the Zhang family, the richest man in Taizhou, but unfortunately he had been staring at it for several days without success, and he was unwilling to take Ying Huaizhen away.
Ying Lanfeng listened, and after a while, he was afraid, and he gritted his teeth and hated: "My family is really only four years old, and Yuxue is so cute, that thief can actually do it......"
Lin Shenzhou said: "Ling Ai is indeed loved by everyone, and intelligence is rare, according to the thief, she was very obedient along the way, coaxing the thief to lose his guard, and he never embarrassed her...... I didn't think she knew how to call for help on the street, and clearly reported the name of an adult, so she could do this at such a young age...... It's truly amazing. ”
Ying Lanfeng turned his anger into joy, and laughed and said: "In short, my family is really a blessed person, and I have to meet two nobles to save me, and I have to thank the two of them...... By the way, I don't know if the two of you came to Taizhou for travel or business?"
Lin Shenzhou saw him change the topic, so he said with the excuse he had thought of earlier: "My nephew and I have a business in the capital that specializes in all kinds of fruits, and I heard about the good dates produced in Taizhou, so I came to take a look. ”
Ying Lanfeng's eyes lit up: "I don't know which one Guibao is?"
Lin Shenzhou knew that he was from Beijing, and he was afraid that he knew the business name and didn't dare to fool around, so he smiled and said: "It's just an ancestral small business, what's the matter, adults are interested?"
Ying Lanfeng said with a happy face: "Don't hide it, sir, this year I have a big drought in Taizhou, and there is a shortage of rice, but the jujube trees are drought tolerant, and they are excellent in terms of production, and they are not expensive, and many of them are still rotten in the mountains and no one has to clean them up...... If the gentleman is interested, it will be a good deal. ”
Lin Shenzhou became more and more surprised, but said quietly: "Could it be that the adults are intent on making this deal?"
Ying Lanfeng said: "If Mr. intends to make this deal, it is naturally excellent! I can do my best to facilitate this!"
When Lin Shenzhou and Xiao Tang heard this, they both frowned secretly, Lin Shenzhou laughed twice, and said: "It's a good thing that adults are so enthusiastic, but Xiaomin still has to see how the dates are before they can decide." ”
Ying Lanfeng saw that he was silent, faintly disappointed, and when he heard him say this, he smiled again: "Yes, then Mr. will bother more, if you want to see how the dates are, I can send someone to take the two of them, I don't know how much the two originally planned?"
Lin Shenzhou saw that he was overflowing with philistine, and he didn't look like a wise Qing official, he was already unhappy in his heart, but he still smiled slightly, but this smile was already cold.
Xiao Tang asked jokingly, "Lord Lin seems to be very anxious about this deal...... Are you in a hurry to get the money?"
Ying Lanfeng actually replied: "Aren't you in a hurry? It's just burning your eyebrows......"
Behind the rockery outside the window, Ying Huaizhen pricked up her ears, and heard Ying Lanfeng talking about the kidnappers, as well as the increasingly unfathomable and profound eyes of the two foxes, and felt that it was not only the corners of her mouth that twitched, but even her heart was shaking for a long time.
Until he heard the back, Ying Huaizhen silently raised his two little hands to cover his face, and cried out in his heart: "Dad, Dad, you are sending yourself to the tiger's mouth." ”
I didn't know what to do, but I heard someone laugh and say, "Xiao Huaizhen, what are you doing hiding here?"
Ying Huaizhen trembled with fright, but when he turned around, he saw Tang Yi pacing close at some point, and smiled lightly.
Ying Huaizhen settled down and called: "Uncle Tang......"
Just at dusk, the sunset sprinkled the courtyard, a dazzling light shot straight over, Tang Yi's footsteps moved slightly, he was actually standing in that light, his face was a little dim, Ying Huaizhen squinted his eyes, and his laughter was vaguely heard in his ears, and this slightly familiar laughter was like an extremely cold ice, inserted from the top of her head.
Even this moment of time seems to be frozen by ice, Ying Huaizhen's hands and feet are stiff, unable to move, and even breathing.
She thought that she remembered the identity of Don Jr., and that was already all.
Not really.
In fact, her fate with Tang Yi is not only the relationship between the daughter of a powerful minister and the occasional glimpse of the ministers of the court, but also an extremely close and direct relationship between them.
In the seventh year of Yuanjia, Tanhualang, who was known as the third place in the first class of Lingjue High School, worshiped under the door of Tang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.
- Tang Yi is Ling Jue's mentor.
