Ying Huaizhen obediently lay in Li Xianshu's arms, thinking about her parents' dialogue.

At the beginning, Ling Jue unfolded the holy decree in front of her, and the second charge of Ying Lanfeng mentioned was to bend the law for personal gain and shield the murderer Guo Jizu, but just now, Li Xianshu and Ying Lanfeng clearly discussed to deal with it impartially.

Ying Huaizhen didn't suspect that his memory was wrong, but he couldn't understand the current situation. Li Xianshu hugged her to bed, coaxed her to rest, and was half asleep, when she heard Li Xianshu outside lower her voice and said, "Why did you suddenly stop again? Who is that person?"

The house slave Zhaocai replied: "It is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, who claims to be the cousin of the adult, although he is young, but he looks very powerful, and he has blocked the adult in the room and has not come out yet...... I was afraid that something would happen, so I hurried to report to the second grandmother. ”

Li Xianshu pondered: "Can a hairy boy turn against the sky? But how did he come suddenly?

Zhaocai replied: "It should be someone from the Guo family who went back to deliver the letter......"

Li Xianshu said: "Even if the Guo family wants to send someone, they can't send a hairy child, and the Guo family has no other men?"

Zhaocai smiled bitterly: "It's really almost...... In the Guo family, there is only this Guo Jizu, and the boy born to our wife and sister, and most of the young man who came today is the little master. ”

Li Xianshu thought about it and said, "I don't believe that he can turn the sky upside down, you go and listen to what they have to say, and return at any time." ”

Zhaocai took the order and left, Ying Huaizhen on the couch was secretly frightened, at this moment Li Xianshu didn't know the identity of this person, but Ying Huaizhen knew it very well.

This young man who came to save Guo Jizu, named Guo Jianyi, is the child of the sister of the princess, this little son, who has been beautiful since he was a child, and is extremely intelligent.

The Guo family's generation is not prosperous, Guo Jizu is not successful, he spends all day drinking, and there is really only Guo Jianyi An outstanding junior, who is picked up by him inside and out.

Guo Jianyi is also angry, full of poetry and books since childhood, at the age of fifteen he emerged in the scientific examination, the emperor Longyan Dayue, at the Hanlin banquet, all the bachelors hairpins are full of flowers, full of flowers, and Ling Jue and Guo Jianyi are two, but they are like double walls, reflecting each other.

Soon Guo Jianyi was elected to the Hanlin Academy, the future was limitless, but three years later, he resigned on his own, traveled around the world, and started a business, although this move was quite criticized, but in just two years, the Guo family's business name blossomed everywhere, and it was simply rich to rival the country...... And he treats people and things, is comprehensive, and has first-class means, but everyone who recognizes him is as good as Mu Chunfeng and praises him.

But Ying Huaizhen also knows that her "little cousin" who has no blood relationship is actually a hot-hearted and cold-hearted character.

For example, in the previous life, at first, Tongying Lanfeng's family was also full of flowers, and he was also diligent and harmonious with her, but I don't know when this young master was immediately separated, intentionally or unintentionally...... Soon after, Ying Lanfeng had an accident. Originally, the Guo family had a kinship relationship with Yingfu and was within Zhulian, but in the end, among the people who were imprisoned and tied up at the execution ground, there was no Guo family alone.

I have to say that the means are all over the place.

Thinking about it now, with Guo Jianyi's means of traveling all over the world, I am afraid that he heard some rumors from somewhere, or he himself noticed something unusual, but this person didn't say a word, all he did was stand by and stay away from trouble......

In a sense, Guo Jianyi and Ling Jue are the same kind of people, both are extremely smart, and they are both extremely ruthless, but Ling Jue's ruthlessness is like a sharp blade scraping bones, and the people he kills are unrecognizable;

Now thinking about the golden and jade face, Ying Huaizhen couldn't help but gently wrap the quilt, and thinking of Guo Jianyi's methods, Ying Huaizhen had a premonition: Ying Lanfeng can't fiddle with this "young man", Guo Jianyi dares to come by himself, and he comes so quickly, there must be a perfect plan.

At this time, Hou Yinghuai Zhen also vaguely guessed that most of the crimes committed by Ying Lanfeng in his previous life were inseparable from Guo Jianyi's "unexpected arrival" this time.

Li Xianshu was thinking about something, suddenly heard her daughter screaming, bluffed her, hurriedly got up and went to the bedside to check carefully, seeing Ying Huai really groping and sitting up, her face was full of panic, Li Xianshu hugged her, pulled the hair off her face, and asked, "Good girl, what's wrong?"

Ying Huaizhen rubbed his eyes, pursed his mouth slightly, sniffed, and said, "Mother, I had a dream." ”

Li Xianshu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "At a young age, what kind of dreams did you have? Could it be that you woke up from a dream that was not good?"

Ying Huaizhen sniffed and looked up at his mother: "I dreamed of a white-bearded old man who was holding a cane and wanted to beat me. ”

Li Xianshu was surprised at this time, and frowned: "What white-bearded old man, what did you do to beat you for no reason?"

Ying Huaizhen bowed his head, unhappy, because she was a little girl, her face showed a bit of grievance, and in the eyes of adults, Li Xianshu was very distressed, and hugged her tightly: "Don't be afraid, my mother is here, you are so good to come and listen." ”

Ying Huaizhen cried a little and said: "It's an old man with a white beard and white hair, he said that his father did bad things and let go of bad people, so he wanted to beat me out of anger." ”

Li Xianshu was thinking about Guo Jizu in her heart, and when she heard Ying Huaizhen talk about it, it was like poking a thorn in the center, and she was a little discolored. Ying Huaizhen did a lot of acting, so he simply sobbed and pretended to cry, Li Xianshu hurriedly hugged his daughter and coaxed: "How could your father do anything bad? Don't be afraid, let's not cry." He turned his head and said hatefully: "What's more, even if you do it, it's an adult, isn't it, where is the white-bearded old man so unreasonable, what to do to scare a child!

Li Xianshu coaxed Ying Huaizhen, thinking about the things ahead in her heart, and shouted loudly: "Ruyi!" The maid from outside hurriedly came in, and Li Xianshu said: "You go to the front, see who is there to attract wealth and treasure, and let them call the master no matter what." The maid took the order and left, and in an instant, Ying Lanfeng really came back.

Li Xianshu let go of Ying Huaizhen, asked Ruyi to take the fruit for her to eat, and asked for details when she went outside, and sure enough, it was not much different from what Zhaocai said, Ying Lanfeng tightened her eyebrows and said: "I didn't want the people of the Guo family to come so quickly, this little cousin is really powerful, so I can't resist." ”

It turned out that Guo Jianyi came to the door before, first stated his identity, and did not mention Guo Jizu's case, but only ordered someone to come forward with a worship box, and said: "The second cousin is here and should have come to visit earlier, but my mother is not very well, and I am young, so I can't come to visit, which is really rude." I heard that Huaizhen's niece was sick before, and I also have a few crude medicine shops at home, and I have some good cordyceps sinensis and fish maw bird's nest, which is the most nourishing, which is a little bit of my uncle's heart. With that, he opened the box.

Ying Lanfeng saw that he was not enough, wearing a light blue riding suit, although he was young, he revealed a capable and neat look, which made people happy at first sight.

Ying Lanfeng knew his intentions, and originally made up his mind that no matter what he sent, he just shirked it, but he didn't expect that he was actually saying something for his daughter.

Ying Huaizhen's serious illness before, it really hurt his vitality a little, and it took a few months to recover from the illness, for this reason, Ying Lanfeng and Li Xianshu were still not at ease, although they wanted to make up for Ying Huaizhen, but they were shy and couldn't enjoy it. Now after listening to Guo Jianyi, I couldn't help but be slightly moved, groaned and looked down, and saw that the box was three layers, the first layer was yellow-orange-orange fish maw, golden and moist, and I knew that it was excellent at a glance, the middle layer was some cordyceps, and the bottom was swiftlet's nest.

Guo Jianyi said: "These are not rare and rare precious things, they are all ordinary things, I must be tired of thinking about Huaizhen, I'm afraid I can't see it, but I came in a hurry, and I didn't have anything to prepare, and I asked my second cousin not to laugh, just to see a little caution about my niece." ”

Ying Lanfeng saw that his face was still immature, but his words were beautiful and tactful, and his expression was sincere and sincere, so he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, so he smiled and said: "Why bother, they are all relatives, so you don't need to be so polite." ”

The two sat down, Guo Jianyi said: "My family and the house are good friends, and they are relatives, so they should be more close, and the aunt in the house said a few years ago that she asked my mother to come over to live for two days...... Only my mother was not in good health, so it was delayed, I had already heard the name of my second cousin, and I wanted to see each other earlier, but I didn't expect that by mistake, the first time we met was in such a situation, ashamed. ”

Ying Lanfeng was more and more surprised, although this Guo Jianyi is young, but articulate, among which the old man is thoughtful, he is more experienced than a middle-aged man who has a lot of experience, and then looks at his words and deeds, and has a lot of appreciation in his heart, and said: "Jianyi, there is no need to be polite, it's just that you came from afar in a hurry, but for your uncle'......s business?" Alas...... You're a step late. ”

"It's really for this, please don't blame my second cousin for being rude at first sight," Guo Jianyi heard him take the initiative to mention Guo Jizu, so he immediately stood up and continued: "It's good that the second cousin has a heart, I heard that the verdict has not yet been pronounced, that is, there is still a turn, not to mention that this case is a brawl between two parties, it is the responsibility of both parties, my uncle was injured by mistake, not with the intention of taking people's lives, and he is not holding a weapon, according to the criminal law, it is not directly sentenced to death...... What does the second cousin think?"

When Ying Lanfeng heard this, he muttered again: "This...... However, the other party insisted......"

Guo Jianyi said: "Let's come forward to discuss with their family, pay more money, and see if they will let go......"

Li Xianshu was surprised when she heard Ying Lanfeng talk about the meeting with Guo Jianyi, so she said: "I only heard you talk about this little cousin's words, if you don't know his age, you must think that he is an old and serious person.

Ying Lanfeng said: "Isn't it?

Li Xianshu said: "You ask me again? I was just about to tell you! Now you can't scruple about erasing your feelings, even if he is the reincarnation of Nezha, you can't be moved, you can't spoil your own children in order to protect other people's children." ”

Ying Lanfeng heard that this was wrong, so he asked why. Li Xianshu told Ying Huaizhen about the dream, and said: "This kind of incident, I would rather believe it than not, not to mention that Ah Zhen is young, how can she have such a strange dream? ”

Ying Lanfeng has always attached great importance to Ying Huaizhen, and after hearing this, he did not hesitate, and said: "This is no more true, I will quit him immediately." ”

Li Xianshu still asked Zhaocai to follow Ying Lanfeng, and she sat in the house to coax Ying Huaizhen to eat sweet soup. Over there, Ying Lanfeng went back to the front hall, and before he arrived at the hall door, he saw Guo Jianyi in the hall with his hands in his hands, and turned his head when he heard the sound, a very picturesque face, and when he saw Ying Lanfeng, his eyes lit up slightly, and he called: "Second cousin." ”

Ying Lanfeng smiled, beckoned in, and after a while, Guo Jianyi sighed: "I want our two mansions, this is close, and it is serious for families to take care of each other, my uncle is messing around, my mother is also annoyed and sick, hated and worried, thanks to the second cousin's willingness to contribute, not only saved my uncle, but also saved my mother. ”

Ying Lanfeng sighed in his heart and was silent. Guo Jianyi observed his words and still smiled: "My cousin just left, but there is something wrong? By the way, is Huaizhen's niece's illness cured? There are also a few old doctors in my family, who are extremely experienced and experienced......

Ying Lanfeng coughed and said, "Huaizhen is already well, don't worry, it's just ...... Jianyi, have you ever heard that Lord Lin Shenzhou, who is known as the Iron Bone Imperial History, has been visiting the surrounding states and counties recently?"

Guo Jianyi said: "I have also heard a little, but the second cousin burned and killed Wu Han to beg for rain before, saved thousands of people, has excellent political virtues, and is well-known far and wide, and Lord Lin can't patrol his cousin's head." ”

Ying Lanfeng smiled: "But Lord Lin is famous for his discernment, I'm afraid that if there is a little disgrace, I can't hide it from his eyes, you just said that our two mansions should take more care, naturally it is very true, but if I am in the hands of Lord Lin at this juncture, won't it drag down the two mansions?"

When Guo Jianyi heard this, he was silent, and he was suspicious in his heart: "The second cousin of Fang Cai obviously has the intention of loosening, how can he go and return, and suddenly change his mind......?"

Although he was suspicious in his heart, he didn't show a smile on his face, but nodded and said: "What the second cousin said is also reasonable, and I can't be embarrassed anymore, but it's just ...... I just ask my second cousin to interrogate me carefully, not to be biased against my uncle, but to seek a glimmer of opportunity...... It would be best if it was done fairly and could save lives. ”

Ying Lanfeng saw that he promised so easily, and did not entangle himself, so he happily replied: "This is natural." Guo Jianyi asked to meet Guo Jizu again, and Ying Lanfeng also agreed.

It was nothing at night, and the next day, he was going to go to the hall to ask about the case, but he didn't expect to go forward in his official uniform, and reported that someone in the capital had come, Ying Lanfeng was shocked, and he stopped in a hurry, and passed people to the flower hall.

It turned out that it was a family member of the Ying Mansion who came from the capital, and what he brought was actually a letter written by Ying Houye, which was actually for Guo Jizu's affairs, which had the meaning of telling him to go around, Ying Lanfeng took the letterhead, shocked, and very embarrassed.

It happened that Guo Jianyi also came, Ying Lanfeng looked at the young man's sparkling eyes, and suddenly understood why he didn't panic yesterday, most likely he secretly sent someone to the capital to ask for help, so his father's letter came in such a timely manner.

Ying Lanfeng was unhappy, so he didn't make a sound, but Guo Jianyi took the initiative to say: "I see that there seem to be horses from Beijing at the door, could it be from the capital?"

Ying Lanfeng snorted, Guo Jianyi smiled slightly, and said, "Second cousin, don't you think that I secretly sent the message? This is a big misunderstanding. ”

Ying Lanfeng heard this, and then looked at him again, Guo Jianyi explained: "When the news of my brother's accident came back earlier, my mother fainted, and we didn't know that it was my second cousin at that time...... After my mother woke up, she only hurriedly asked someone to hurry up to Beijing to deliver the message, hoping that the aunt and uncle-in-law in the mansion could maneuver around, and I only learned on the way here that it was my second cousin who was in charge of the case. ”

Ying Lanfeng was skeptical, Guo Jianyi sighed: "Actually, what I want in my heart is that it is better for others to judge this case, and others are hindered by the face of Ying Gongfu, eight out of ten, nine times out of ten, they will be more thoughtful, but the second cousin is loyal and upright, and I already understood what the second cousin meant yesterday...... However, I asked a few people who were present that day overnight yesterday, and some people said that the deceased did it to his uncle first......"

Ying Lanfeng heard this, stared at the seemingly innocent face of this young man, and the people on the spot testified that he had interrogated almost the same, all of them were talking about Guo Ji's ancestors' hands...... How can it be changed now? Naturally, Guo Jianyi acted from it.

Such a child has such a means, the knife is hidden in his smile and is impermeable, and the plank road is dark...... Sure enough, it's amazing.

Ying Lanfeng was speechless, and the letter in his hand was also heavy, he got up and returned to the inner room, met Li Xianshu, and told her his faith, Li Xianshu listened, and it was also a silent matter, according to her temperament, she was supposed to ignore it and directly sentenced her to death, but since the house was poor, and it was the letter from the Hou Ye himself, then it was impossible to think about it too much.

After all, Ying Lanfeng can't always be here as a magistrate for the rest of his life, and he must return to Beijing one day, since he has returned to Beijing, he has nothing to do with Ying Gongfu, after all, it is his origin.

Li Xianshu thought about it, and said helplessly: "There is no first opportunity in this matter, so I have to ...... Just a little more thoughtful......"

Ying Lanfeng said: "The lady thinks so too?"

Li Xianshu said: "This is also a way that has no choice, and it can't be a blatant disagreement with the house." ”

Ying Lanfeng sighed: "That...... You take good care of Zhen'er, I'm out. ”

Li Xianshu said: "Ah Zhen is playing in the backyard with the little master of the Zhang family, don't worry, I'll take a look later." Ying Lanfeng went to act on his own.

Li Xianshu was about to go out, and the maid ran in angrily and said, "Young grandma, it's a big deal, Miss is gone!" When Li Xianshu heard this, it seemed that thunder exploded in her ears, and the whole person's soul was out of her shell, and her feet slipped a little in the air, and she asked in a trembling voice: "What is this! Why is it gone?"

Ji Xiang had tears in his eyes and cried: "I was playing in the garden with the little master of the Zhang family before, the slave was late to see it, and I didn't find anyone again, the little master of the Zhang family said that she had gone out of the back door before, and she had already sent Jinbao to take a few people to look for it......"

Let's say that Zhang Zhen came to find Ying Huaizhen early in the morning, and it happened that Ying Huaizhen couldn't sleep, and the two were playing in the garden.

Ying Huai sincerely cared about Guo Jizu's affairs, very worried, in her previous life, she never cared about Lan Feng's career, and I don't know what the reputation was when he was in Taizhou, and how the case was decided, but one thing is certain, Guo Jizu did not die in the previous life, because they met in the public mansion in the future.

Now it seems that the reason why he did not die must be that Guo Jianyi acted from it.

Ying Huaizhen was a little distressed, and quietly thought about what to do next, if Ying Lanfeng was really convinced...... Did she really want to get something out to scare her father?...... It's a bit of a headache when I think about it.

Ying Huai really wanted to be distracted, Zhang Zhen ran over and said, "Sister, don't stand in the wind, pay attention to the headache of blowing." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to block her forehead, and moved his steps to block the limelight.

Ying Huai Zhenben was full of worries, and when he saw Zhang Zhen like this, he couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Da Yuanbao, why are you so good to me?"

It's really strange, there was very little memory of Zhang Zhen in her previous life, if it wasn't for him in the end, she would have appeared again...... I'm afraid that Ying Huaizhen will soon forget that there was such a person in her life......

It's really strange to think about it, a person who seems to be dispensable to her, but in the eyes of the other party, she seems to weigh ten thousand pounds and is irreplaceable.

Ying Huai thought sincerely, her eyes looked down from Zhang Zhen's face, and she looked at Zhang Zhen's legs: She played with Zhang Zhen these days, and never found that his legs and feet were inconvenient, could it be that something happened later?

I was in a trance for a moment, as if I was thinking of something.

Zhang Zhen was holding a rose, carefully removing the thorns on it, and replied, "What is why, I should be good to my sister." ”

Ying Huaizhen sighed casually: "Yes, yes, even if you owe me in any life, then you will pay me back, in this life, don't be so hard." ”

Zhang Zhen naturally didn't understand this, and after struggling to remove the small thorns on the rose, he handed it to Ying Huaizhen: "There are no thorns, don't be afraid of being pricked, sister, do you look good?"

Ying Huaizhen glanced down, looked at the pink and white rose that had become supple, and smiled: "It's really good-looking." ”

Zhang Zhen looked at her smile, only to feel that her heart was full of joy, and she couldn't help but smirk.

Ying Huaizhen pinched the flower, suddenly saw his expression, couldn't help frowning, and actually threw the flower to Zhang Zhen, smiled, and said lightly: "It was thorny before, it was to prevent people from approaching and picking it wantonly, but you want to ...... like this."

Zhang Zhen was stunned, she didn't understand why Ying Huaizhen's face suddenly changed, she wanted to confess, but she didn't know where to start, and her face turned red for a while.

Ying Huaizhen couldn't bear to look at his face, so he turned around and said, "I'm tired, you go back quickly, and I'll talk about it another day." Without waiting for Zhang Zhen to answer, he ran away.

Some vague memories are like fallen leaves sinking to the bottom of the water, floating one by one.

Zhang Zhen was indeed good to her from beginning to end, but after she left Taizhou, she quickly forgot about him, one day the door informed that there was an old Taizhou to visit, it happened that she was playing with a group of Shuyuan, when she saw the slightly chubby and shy Zhang Zhen, she didn't even recognize who it was.

At that time, I don't know which lady next to her was, looking at Zhang Zhen's slightly bumpy legs and feet, she actually laughed and said: "Where did this come from, look at his appearance, how ridiculous ......" They are a group of famous ladies, who grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, and have always been very sharp-eyed.

As soon as she said that, frivolous and rude laughter rang out one after another, Ying Huaizhen even laughed a few times, she didn't pay special attention to it at that time, Zhang Zhen's face became purple and embarrassed in an instant, he tried his best to walk upright, and when the laughter started, the originally inflexible leg limped to the ground, and almost stumbled to the ground.

Yes, she was unintentional at that time, but this unintentional injury hurt people deeply, but she didn't know that this person she had forgotten about hurting was after she was in trouble, and she tried everything to save her from fire and water.

But Zhang Zhen, who saw each other again at that time, was already married. I heard that his wife is a woman from a large local family in Taizhou, gentle and graceful, and gave birth to Lin'er within a year of marriage.

However, for her sake, he threw himself into the daunting maelstrom of party struggle, like a moth to a fire.

I already owe enough to others in my previous life, so don't do it again in this life.

Afraid that Zhang Zhen would chase after her, Ying Huaizhen turned around, ran to a secluded place, and was stopping to catch his breath, when he saw a figure jumping down from the wall, grabbed her and said, "Little girl, where is the little young master of the Zhang family?"

Ying Huaizhen was taken aback, and when his mind turned, he was still frightened and stunned, and stammered: "Do you ask Zhang Zhen, he went home." ”

The man was very surprised, but he never imagined that a four-year-old girl would lie, gritted his teeth and said, "Hate, I ran away for him again......"

Ying Huaizhen only prayed in his heart at this moment that Zhang Zhen would not appear suddenly, the man stared at her, his eyes changed and asked, "Who are you?" Ying Huaizhen saw that his eyes were fierce, so he pretended to be so frightened that he couldn't speak, and didn't say a word.

The man frowned, and suddenly said, "It's really good to be born...... It's better than going back empty-handed. Saying that, grinning, very ill-intentioned, Ying Huaizhen saw that the situation was not good, so he wanted to call for help, but the man grabbed her, turned around and jumped out of the wall.

The back garden wall of the county government is not high, this person turned out lightly, for fear that Ying Huaizhen would call for help, so he took her in his arms and walked on the road, Ying Huaizhen did want to struggle or call for help at first, but this person was fierce and strong, if she wanted to shut up, she was afraid that there were thousands of ways, so she simply did not say anything and waited for the changes.

At first, the man was surprised that Ying Huaizhen was not crying, but gradually he only thought that this child was born like this, maybe she didn't understand what was happening, and she didn't know.

Ying Huaizhen has always been quiet and stunned, no matter how many people there are, no matter where he is, he always doesn't cry or scream, and he is very obedient, so the man has gone all the way, and finally gradually relaxed his vigilance, and no longer guarded against her as before.

On this day, when he came to the streets of Qizhou, the man hugged her in his arms, as if he was looking at the scene, but when he walked into the street, Ying Huaizhen suddenly shouted.

The man was stunned, and after reacting, he hurriedly wanted to pull her back, but Ying Huaizhen didn't let go, and shouted: "Help! I am Ying Huaizhen, the daughter of Ying Lanfeng of Taizhou Zhixian County, this person is a kidnapper and a bad person!"

The kidnapper was dumbfounded, as in a dream, at this moment those guards rushed up and knocked him to the ground, this person's kung fu was not bad, but he was too shocked, and the second was the top master, like a fox encountering a group of hungry wolves, there was no power to fight back.

Xiao Tang hugged Ying Huaizhen firmly, but he heard the little girl indignant and said: "Don't let him go, adult, he still wants to harm my brother of the Zhang family!" The four-year-old boy frowned slightly, and his immature but solemn voice was clear.

Xiao Tang was surprised in his heart, and finally took his eyes off Ying Huaizhen's face, he turned his head and saw that Lin Shenzhou's eyes had exactly the same look of shock as him.
