Seeing this scene, the guard on duty took a step forward, pulled out the long knife on his waist and said to the visitor: "Who is coming, dare to trespass into the city lord's mansion!" ”

Jiedu, who was wearing armor, made the garrison show his waist card: "Jiedu envoys, don't open the door and let Qiao Shan come out!" ”

Her tone was not polite at all, as if Qiao Shan was not the city lord of this Mingzhou City, but just a small soldier under her jurisdiction.

The city lord's mansion was guarded, and the total number of people was twenty. The army of the Jiedu envoy came to say that there were two hundred, and a large area stood outside.

The woman on duty glanced at her companion and opened the vermilion door behind her very sensibly: "Ladies and gentlemen, wait a minute, let us go to Lord Qiqi first, we are also doing things for people, please be considerate of each other." ”

Qiao Shan was originally sleeping soundly in the bed with his husband in his arms, and he was "bang, bang!" outside. Then there was a loud knock at the door.

She yelled irritably: "Big night, knock the soul!" ”

The guard outside hurriedly said: "My lord, hurry up, there is a circle of people outside our mansion, as if it is the officers and soldiers who came from the Jiedu envoys." I'm looking for you by name! ”

Qiao Shan's expression on his face changed, and he couldn't sleep, so he turned over and got up from the bed. Qiao Zhengjun, who was awakened, lifted the thin quilt on his body, and sat up with a panicked face: "Wife, what's going on outside?" ”

Qiao Shan patted him lightly on the shoulder and soothed: "It should be that there is something urgent over there as the Jiedu envoy, or it may be that he is here to fight the autumn wind, you go to sleep, and I will come back later." ”

So saying, she put on her cloak and hurried open the door and went out. When Qiao Shan left the door, Qiao Zhengjun, who was sitting on the bed, couldn't settle down, so he also took a cloak and put it on, and went to knock on the door of his two daughters and Qiao Yu.

On weekdays, the envoy came to Mingzhou City, Qiao Shan has always been a good reception, although she and this chief have no good relationship, but it is also well water does not interfere with river water, and the other party came in the middle of the night, and the attitude was so polite.

If the servant was not exaggerating, she guessed that she had been caught by someone. When he hurried to the door and saw that scene, Qiao Shan also chuckled in his heart.

She stuffed the silver ticket prepared by the housekeeper into the hand of the person who took the lead: "It's the middle of the night, you have worked hard, I don't know why Lord Bu sent you?" ”

The woman glanced at the silver ticket, made a painful expression, and knocked Qiao Shan's hand off: "Criminalized official Qiao Shan, participated in the fraud of the imperial examination, framed the candidates, and ignored the laws of the Jin Kingdom. He also tried to bribe law enforcement officials to bring him into custody! ”

After saying that, a few people rushed forward and directly put heavy shackles on Qiao Shan's hands.

Qiao Zhengjun, who rushed over, immediately pounced: "What does this have to do with my wife, this is impossible, did you catch the wrong person!" ”

The officer and soldier said coldly: "Please also ask Qiao Zhengjun to respect himself!" ”

As the eldest daughter, Qiao Shu is a fiery temper, she took a wooden stick and rushed forward on the spot, she has a lot of strength, and her martial arts are not bad, when her fists are hard to beat four hands, and after injuring several people, she was also taken away with the stick in her hand.

Qiao Shan looked at this uncompetitive girl, glared at her and scolded: "Bastard thing, who made you rush up!" ”

Qiao Shu shouted aggrievedly: "Mother! ”

Qiao Shan also sighed, and didn't look at her, so he was dragged away with her.

At this time, of the three women of the Qiao family, only Qiao Mu is the only one who can be the backbone. Qiao Zhengjun looked at his second daughter: "Qiao Mu, you have a lively brain on weekdays, and you can make the most ideas, think of a way, how to rescue your mother and your sister!" ”

Qiao Mu said: "Let's prepare a sum of money first, and find out who we have offended first." ”

Father Qiao hesitated: "But just now, the officers and soldiers directly pushed your mother's money, will this method work?" ”

Qiao Mu explained: "That is on the surface, in front of so many people, of course that person does not dare to collect money. Let's prepare a silver ticket of 1,000 taels and give it privately, just to listen to the news, and the other party will not fail to say it. ”

Qiao Yu bit her lip: "I'll go with you." ”

Qiao Mu glanced at his younger brother who looked up, shook his head and refused: "You don't have to go, that place is chaotic, it's all military ruffians, if they bully you, you have to worry about your mother." ”

She vaguely felt that this disaster was caused by herself, but she was afraid that her father would blame her, so she didn't dare to say it before she made up her mind.

Even if Qiao Mudang took the silver ticket, he waited until there was no one to catch up and stuff the money. The latter glanced at her and took the money: "Your mother has naturally offended someone, and it is said that she is a distinguished guest of our lord, and that person has a life-saving grace for my lord." And your family did make a mistake. For the sake of your knowledge, I would like to remind you that the bell must be tied to the bell. ”

Other than that, the man didn't want to say anything more.

Qiao Mu thought about it, and her recent move on the examination room was just that. But Hao Cheng is just an orphan with no father and mother, and he is still from a remote mountain village, so how could he get on the line with the Jiedu envoy.

She turned over and got on the horse, galloped all the way, and went to the invigilator in charge of Hao Cheng's examination room, and interrogated the scene at that time, and her heart was even more cold.

The distinguished guest of the Jiedu envoy was not someone else, it was Hao Cheng who was going to marry the gentleman who was going to marry soon. It is said that Hao Cheng looked extremely embarrassed when he was picked up, and if Hao Cheng hadn't been cautious, he would have almost been poisoned.

Qiao Mu's face turned white as soon as he brushed it, if it was just something she ordered to do, then she could apologize, ask others to be magnanimous, and smile and enmity. But why is she so unlucky, and the gang of people above the stall have to calculate the surplus.

She whipped the horse under her on the spot, and the steed was in pain, and spread its hooves and galloped.

When Qiao Mu returned home, Qiao's father and Qiao Yu surrounded him to inquire about the situation. She paused: "It was my fault this time that my mother was implicated." ”

Her face sank, and her eyes were a little more ruthless: "Anyway, this time we were implicated by the Fang Mansion, and I ordered someone to arrest the Fang family first." When the time comes, lead someone to plead guilty. No matter what, I'm going to swap out my mother and sister! ”

Qiao Yu stared into her eyes; "Second sister, tell me, who is the person we offended?"

Qiao Mu's complexion changed again and again, and finally he said: "It's Hao Cheng, to be precise, it's the Zhengjun she is going to marry soon." ”

found someone, Qiao Mu couldn't sleep peacefully that night, so he went to Hao Cheng's residence that night, but was rejected. She slept all night in the courtyard next door, but her eyes were open all night and she couldn't sleep.

On the second day, Dong Xue from Hao Cheng's mansion came out to buy some things, and Qiao Mu hurriedly greeted him: "Dong Gongzi, please inform me ......"

Dong Xue interrupted her impatiently: "Dong is just a subordinate, and he can't afford to be the son of Qiao Nujun." ”

Qiao Mu's eyes flashed, after all, he was asking for help, but he endured it. After a long time of clubbing in front of the mansion, her legs were extremely sore, and the people in the mansion still refused to see her.

In the end, it was still an honest man Wang Yang couldn't bear it when he came out, and said: "I don't know exactly what happened, but yesterday the head of the family came back with a cold and fever, if you have something to find our head of the family, please come back in a few days." ”

Hao Cheng was frightened by the cold and had a fever for one day, and by the second day, her health had improved, but she still had to drink those bitter, black and unpleasant Chinese medicines.

She didn't want to drink it, but Jiang Mengzhen fed it to her mouth with her own hands, she was afraid of taking medicine, so she also puffed up, and drank the big bowl of medicine aggrieved.

At this time, she missed the modern banlan root powder and small pills. How delicious Banlan root is, unlike this traditional Chinese medicine, after drinking it, I feel that the whole person is going to be sublimated.

Jiang Mengzhen looked at her sad face, smiled and reached out to stuff a sweet and sour candied fruit in her mouth: "Don't you still want to save that Fang Yu, when you get better soon, I will help you fish her out." ”

Although Hao Cheng is very cute because of her illness and clingy and coquettish, he hopes that she will recover soon. After all, he was sick and uncomfortable, and he felt very distressed just by seeing her sick and lifeless.

Thinking about fishing out Fang Yu, no matter how bitter it was, Hao Cheng still poured it in one mouthful. She is young, she has no vices, her body is well-raised, and she will be in good health within two days.

Previously, Jiang Mengzhen didn't allow her to go out to blow the wind, and she couldn't sit still as soon as she was good, so she took advantage of Jiang Mengzhen to go out to run errands, so she put on a cloak made of fire rat fur, and regardless of the rain outside, she opened the door to go out for a ride.

As soon as the door opened, she saw someone she didn't want to see. Before she could hide, the eyes of the people who saw her lit up and walked towards her.

But he waited too long, and when his feet went numb, he stumbled and fell down. Hao Cheng saw that he was about to fall, so he helped him with the handle of the umbrella.

But the other party knelt down, grabbed the handle of the umbrella, and begged her: "I know it's all my fault, please, let my mother and sister go." ”

What the heck! Hao Cheng was taken aback, but after the other party said this, he fell headlong in front of her.
