"Tingxuan, you're back!"

Outside the open door, Xia Shuanghan, who was talking to Su Yixing, who got out of the carriage, raised his eyes and recognized that the figure on the horse not far away, getting closer and closer, was his husband, and immediately showed a happy smile and waved his hand towards Lu Shaoyun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lady, I'm back!"

Lu Shaoyun, who also waved his hand to his wife with a smile on his face, turned over and dismounted, and soon led his beloved horse to Su Yixing's side: "Su Shizi? Excuse me, why are you visiting at this time? ”

Seeing that Lu Shaoyun stretched out his hand to take the soft water of Xia Shuanghan, and then turned to him with an expression of "declaring possession", Su Yixing, who suddenly felt the blue tendons on his forehead, really wanted to brush his sleeves away.

"Calm down, calm down, Su Zhenchen, if you choose to leave at this time, the last cheap person will only be the person who set the trap to frame you in the first place."

Su Yixing, who had silently calmed himself in his heart, and could finally put on a relaxed and calm expression on his face, said: "The group of people who calculated the three of us on the ninth day of the second lunar month not long ago, I think I have figured out who the main messenger behind them is. That's why I've come to inform you now. ”

"Really? It just so happens that I've found some clues today, so why don't we go in and share the news now? Lu Shaoyun, who handed the horse to Chai Hu who greeted him and made a "please" movement with his free hand, soon led Su Yixing to the brightly lit room with Xia Shuanghan.

The topic that unfolded indoors began with Xia Shuanghan's story of how Wen Xueying used her hands and feet in the antidote, and finally led to her inability to prove her innocence when she was obviously poisoned by the same poison as Zhichun and Bell. Then, without waiting for Su Yixing to express his opinion on Wen Xueying's behavior, Lu Shaoyun, who took over the conversation, began to talk about his investigation results today.

"According to the results of today's investigation, the theater where Wen Xueying went to see the play was the first place to stage the drama 'White Fox Repaying Kindness' among all the theater troupes in the capital. Jingzhong then followed the trend and sang the opera troupe of 'White Fox Repaying Gratitude', all of which were stolen from the original opera garden. ”

Having said this, Lu Shaoyun, who took out a thin manuscript from his sleeve pocket, put the evidence on the round table in front of him, signaled Xia Shuanghan and Su Yixing to read it at will, and then continued: "This manuscript is the original manuscript of 'White Fox Repaying Kindness'. ”

According to the owner of the theater, this manuscript was given to him by a down-and-out scholar in order to repay him for the gift he gave him. The class owner who received the manuscript was very appreciative of the story after reading it, so he spent a lot of time and effort to rehearse the play. ”

"You shouldn't have found the down-and-out scholar who left Beijing after taking the coil and the two people who were watching and talking in the theater garden, right?" Xia Shuanghan, who had roughly flipped through the manuscript, raised his head and asked, "Then did you find out anything about this manuscript?" ”

"Yes." Nodding with a determined face, Lu Shaoyun, who was full of bamboo, said: "The person who wrote this drama is someone who is familiar with me when he urinates. Namely: Xu Jinhan, the second son of the Xu family. ”

Although the handwriting on this manuscript is not from his handwriting, I can confirm that this play was definitely composed by him, judging from the habits of the writing and the characteristics of the choice of words and sentences. And the down-and-out scholar who gave the manuscript to the master of the troupe was only hired to copy the manuscript and then send it out. ”

"Xu Jinhan, I remember that the second son of the Xu family did not embark on a career in office, but changed to business, right?"

Suddenly recalled that in early February, after he went to the Dingguo Mansion to inform Lu Xiaoqing that he was knocked unconscious, Xia Shuanghan said: "Since he is a businessman and has no grievances with you in the officialdom, why did he take so much trouble to hand the 'White Fox Repay Kindness' into the troupe, and at the same time find a way to guide Wen Xueying with words?" ”

"It's true that Xu Jinhan is a businessman, but he and I are not without grievances. The case of the blood pill that killed countless children two years ago, and the red and white pills on the black market that were finally knocked down last year, both of these cases are related to him. It's just that he is too cunning, and I don't have conclusive evidence in my hands, so I haven't been able to arrest him for a long time. ”

"So you see, it's not surprising that a person like me, who has cut off his financial route more than once, has been eyeing him and wants to wait for an opportunity to arrest him, and he wants to attack me and retaliate against me, isn't it?"

"Sure enough, did you find Xu Jinhan too?"

Listening to Lu Shaoyun's description of the situation he mastered here, Su Yixing, who also found Xu Jinhan's head, said: "I especially remember that when Shuang Han was hit by the woman who threw the hydrangea last year, I was investigating a case involving Xu Jinhan behind it. The culprit on the surface of the case is not him, but the person who jumped over the wall in a hurry and wanted to make a last ditch with the beauty scheme, so he single-handedly arranged the hydrangea throwing. ”

"Later, because of the frost and cold' in Jingzhao Yin's yamen, the beauty trick died at the beginning, so later, when I investigated more and more, in order to buy enough time for myself to clear up the relationship with this case, Xu Jinhan would use the method of 'corpse poison' to drag me on the sickbed."

"Last summer, when all the poison on my body was cleared, he had already removed himself from the case cleanly. So to this day, I still haven't been able to put him in the cell of the Criminal Department. ”

"In this way, you both have a grudge with him, and the reason why he ordered someone to knock me out and send me to the post station in February is to provoke you to draw your swords and fight each other to the death, so as to save him trouble?"

"This should be just one of the reasons, and the other reason is the vacancy of official positions in Liaodong in February."

Having said this, Su Yixing, who had already figured out that Zhou Yaoguang was a thief in the Xiangyang Palace, turned to Xia Shuanghan and said, "Do you remember that when you targeted Zhou Yaoguang, you once told me to be a man and leave a line and see each other in the future, right?" But you are kind to her, but she does not know gratitude. ”

"In the first month, when you were stranded in Guanzhuang Village, in order to try to get along with you without being disturbed by anyone in the next two years, I made up my mind at that time that as soon as Guanzhuang Village was unsealed, no matter where I went, as long as I could take you out of the capital, it would be good. Therefore, when the case in the Qibaoshan area was reported to the capital, I felt that this was a perfect opportunity to take you out of the capital. ”

"At that time, Zhou Yaoguang, who met Xu Jinhan at the lantern festival on the night of the Lantern Festival, has become a meticulous work placed in the Xiangyang Palace, constantly informing Xu Jinhan of your and my movements."

"So, when Xu Jinhan, who was just trying to confirm whether I was still secretly investigating him, learned that the position I wanted to apply for happened to collide with the position applied for by an official who had been in collusion with him all year round, he had the intention of preventing me from going to Liaodong."

"Yes, after all, the transferred official invited himself to go out of Beijing this time to avoid trouble, so in order to prevent the official from being investigated by the Criminal Department because of his failure to leave Beijing, and then after being arrested by the Criminal Department, he submitted the evidence of their collusion between officials and businessmen, in order to protect himself, Xu Jinhan must get me back to the capital anyway, and send the official out of Beijing."

"That's why he set the trap at the beginning, so that I stayed in the capital in order to find out who knocked me out, and then pulled you back from Liaodong?"

Listening to Su Yixing's account of this, Xia Shuanghan, who had basically sorted out his thoughts, said: "And after you return to the capital, the reason why Xu Jinhan wants Zhou Yaoguang to drug me is because he wants you and Ting Xuan to fight each other and lose each other. ”

"The second reason is that he wants to take advantage of the opportunity that you and Ting Xuan were unable to focus on essential official duties because of their injuries and were reprimanded by the above, so that those who had the sweetness in this matter could cover for him. In this way, you and Ting Xuan are busy checking those who have benefited from your fighting, and naturally they will no longer turn their attention to the matter of who was transferred to Liaodong in the first place, right? ”

"Exactly. So if I hadn't met your sister who was entangled by Xu San on the way home yesterday......" Su Yi Xingfu, who said this, turned to Lu Shaoyun and said: "And I heard something unusual from the conversation between the two of them, and then I found Xu Jinhan along the vine, this guy hidden in the shadows, I don't know how long it will be hidden." ”

“......”

Speaking of this, almost all the mysteries in Xia Shuanghan's mind were solved, so she only listened to her relax and breathe a sigh of relief: "This Xu Jinhan is really, even if the saint is because of the relationship between the queen mother, he will not really put his mind down to support the Xu family in his lifetime, so he doesn't want to be like his uncle, father and eldest brother, who cannot be reused after stepping into the officialdom, so he changed his career and chose business." But when he does business, he does business, why do he want to do those things that hurt nature and reason? ”

"Because he wants to vent, to vent all his frustration of being depressed and talented, but having nowhere to show."

Lu Shaoyun, who knew Xu Jinhan's nature very well, summed up his statement: "It is because it is impossible for the Holy Lord to use him, so he chooses to use this way that violates the law to prove his ability, and use it to find some stimulation for himself!" ”

In the silent inner room, the footsteps of the night patrol soldiers and the sound of drums came from outside the courtyard, all indicating that the night was deep.

So, after Lu Shaoyun and Su Yixing figured out how to join forces to deal with Xu Jinhan in the future, and made up their minds what measures to take to prevent him from retaliating, Su Yixing, who was unable to take the carriage home tonight, lived in the "murderous mansion".

"Frost, I'm sorry I didn't believe you at the beginning." In the brightly lit guest room, facing Xia Shuanghan, who was calmly preparing the corresponding items for his stay with Hanxiao, he did not complain about Xu Jinhan, Zhou Yaoguang, or Wen Xueying, but only his own Su Yixing, and expressed his apologies to Xia Shuanghan with a painful face.

And looking at Su Yixing, who was depressed in front of him, Xia Shuanghan really couldn't bear to say his true words-"Actually, I'm very grateful to Xu Jinhan, after all, if it weren't for him, then we would all have to waste two more years of time on each other." ”

"Su Zhenchen, let the past pass, we should all look forward, right?" With a light smile, he stretched out a hand, and Xia Shuanghan, who always thought that "it is better to settle the dispute", said: "To be honest, I don't want to lose you as a friend, so can you continue to be my friend in the future?" ”

"What if you don't be your friend? After all, you're Mrs. Lu now! ”

With a wry smile, he stretched out his hand, and Su Yixing, who was holding Xia Shuanghan's soft hair, diverted his gaze from the red mark that quietly fell on her neck, and then said quietly and silently in his heart: "Su Zhenchen, have you seen it, even if Shuanghan doesn't remember what happened between her and Lu Shaoyun at all, she still chooses to marry him, and she is still willing to talk to him, so now, you should really let go and die." ”

"What are you talking to him about over there? Why haven't you come back for so long? In the bedroom of the main courtyard, Lu Shaoyun, who had been waiting on the edge of the bed for a long time, relied on his identity as a husband openly, and said with a sour face: "If you don't come back, I'm ready to pull you to fight for three hundred rounds!" ”

The washcloth that ......was about to be put on the shelf by Xia Shuanghan suddenly slipped out of her hand because of Lu Shaoyun's words and fell back into the basin again.

"Lu Tingxuan, I said that you have been running outside all day, aren't you tired?" Scooped up the handkerchief again, wrung out the water and put it back on the wooden frame, walked to the side of the bed with a wooden basin, and while soaking his feet comfortably, Xia Shuanghan, who turned to her husband next to him, smiled and scolded: "Didn't you just come this morning?" Why do you want it again?! ”

"Lady, do you think it's easy for me to hold back alone for so many years?" Lu Shaoyun, who didn't wait for his wife to lie on the bed, began to be hairy, said with a smile: "I have accumulated two lifetimes in my past life and this life, and you haven't let me have a good meal in the past few days of marriage, how can this work?" ”

...... "You're happy eating, but I'm so tired from eating!" Swallowing this sentence helplessly, Xia Shuanghan, who was quickly pounced on again after a while, couldn't think about anything else except for a thought in his mind that "sure enough, the man held it for too long".

In the sound of chickens and dogs, the sky was bright. After the sun spilled into the bedroom, he helplessly stood up and got dressed and got out of bed with a tired look against the two obvious crows under his eyes.

After having breakfast at the round table with Lu Shaoyun and Su Yixing, Xia Shuanghan, who was ready to travel, took her husband's hand, and at the same time that Su Yixing got into the carriage and went to the yamen of the Criminal Department, he stepped on the street leading to Xia's house in Shuanghe Lane.

"Sister!" In the door that opened with a creak, Xia Chaoyang, who had specially asked his master for leave to rest at home for the arrival of his sister and brother-in-law today, rushed out of the house the moment he heard the sound of the door opening.

He trotted to Xia Shuanghan, who had already walked into the yard, and raised his head with a smile and said, "Sure enough, it's good to live close, the day you returned to the door last year, sister, it was much later than today." ”

"Really? It's so happy to see your sister early! With a smile on his face, he bent down to pinch his brother's soft face, and Xia Shuanghan, who straightened up again, was about to take his brother back to the main hall to say goodbye to his father. It's a pity that before she had time to take a step, outside the courtyard gate that had not yet been closed, an angry shout suddenly came - "Xia Shuanghan!" ”

The person Xia Shuanghan, who took his younger brother back and raised his eyes to look outside the courtyard gate, saw Zhou Yaoguang, who lost a shoe because of running, and at the same time his hair was scattered.

"Is that you? How did you get here? Recalling the sentence that Su Yixing confessed before leaving this morning, "Zhou Yaoguang, I will deal with it, you don't have to worry", I don't understand why she can appear here at this moment, Xia Shuanghan is slightly puzzled.

But soon, before Zhou Yaoguang could reply, she ran after her panting to a few people from the Xiangyang Mansion outside the gate of Xia's house, and she was puzzled by Xia Shuanghan - last evening, after returning home and having a long talk with Su Chunfeng, Su Yixing, who was determined to make Zhou Yaoguang pay for her behavior of eating inside and out, made up his mind to send her to the nunnery and leave home.

On the twenty-fourth day of April, this sunny day was originally no different from other days in April for Zhou Yaoguang.

In the evening, Mo stood under the wisteria trellis in the guest courtyard, looking at Zhou Yaoguang who was in a daze, and was thinking about her Tanlang in his heart. But who knows, Su Yixing, who suddenly broke in with people, not only disturbed her tranquility, but also immediately ordered someone to tie her up and throw her into the firewood room without explaining anything.

Zhou Yaoguang, who spent the night in the musty, cramped and dimly lit firewood room, crying and shouting but never being released, was not taken out of the firewood room and thrown into the carriage until it was dark.

When the carriage was on the way to the nunnery in the eastern suburbs of the capital, Zhou Yaoguang, who probably realized what he had done to provoke the current situation, seized the opportunity of the carriage to stop temporarily at the crowded intersection, and boldly escaped with courage and time.

Then, just when she was running along the street and shouting in her head, "I'm going to see Jinhan, I'm going to see Jinhan", the figures of Lu Shaoyun and Xia Shuanghan suddenly appeared at the corner of the street, which attracted her attention.

"Zhou Yaoguang, you won't know now, why did Su Zhechen send you to a nunnery to become a nun?" Motioning for his younger brother to go into the house to accompany his father, with a mocking smile turned to Zhou Yaoguang, who was still in the dark by Xu Jinhan, Xia Shuanghan and said, "Since you are willing to betray the Xiangyang Palace for your Jinhan, then you must also pay the corresponding price for what you have done." ”

"I think that at the beginning, the princess had obviously chosen a husband for you in Beijing, but you didn't look down on it, so you took advantage of Su Zhenchen's drunken kung fu to sneak into the study with bad intentions, and finally angered him. Later, the princess showed mercy to your subordinates, and helped you choose other relatives again, just to marry you out of Beijing. The result is good, you can't look down on this family business, so you have to be smart enough to catch up with your Tanlang. Do you think that the Jinhan in your mouth will really be your wishful husband? Haha, there should be a limit to having eyes without beads, right? ”

"Who has no eyes? Jinhan is the Ruyi Langjun I identified. Not only is he better than Su Yixing, but he is hundreds of thousands of times better than the men that the princess helped me look at! ”

Zhou Yaoguang, who was twisted by the arms of the two little guys and stared at Zhou Yaoguang with his eyes and neck, raised his head unconvinced and choked at Xia Shuanghan: "We said that in May, he would send someone to the door to propose marriage and marry me as a wife!" Seeing that my good days are coming, none of you can think of sending me away at this time! ”

"Zhou Yaoguang, Zhou Yaoguang, you have such a face with a wise heart, but why are you blind in essence?" Xia Shuanghan, who shook his head and sighed, decided to let Zhou Yaoguang die and understand it, so that he would not be pitifully kept in the dark for the rest of his life.

"Zhou Yaoguang, the reason why your Tan Lang deliberately pretended to get acquainted with you by accident at the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival was originally because he took a fancy to your greedy nature and felt that you could take advantage of it. And in the months that followed, you really did a lot for him like a dog that could be at his mercy. ”

"Investigate the news and drug me, I believe that in order to coax you to do these things for him, he must have said a lot of sweet words to you and made a lot of vows to you, right? But now? I believe that since Su Zhenchen was impeached, Xu Jinhan has contacted you less and less frequently, right? You haven't even been able to get in touch with him in recent times, have you? ”

At this point, he nodded matter-of-factly, raised his hand and rubbed his chin on Xia Shuanghan's face and said with a look of approval: "Yes, if it were me, I would do the same." After all, everything you need to find out about is already known, and everything you need to do has been done. Then, considering that you are not favored by everyone in Xiangyang Palace, so it is impossible to have a greater ability to help him do something, it is not surprising that you, whose use value has been excavated, are completely lost by him. ”

"Xia Shuanghan, you are talking nonsense!" Hearing Xia Shuanghan's narrative here, Zhou Yaoguang, who couldn't believe that this was the truth, shook his head desperately and resisted: "Jinhan, he won't do this to me!" There's no way he's going to abandon me! ”

"Impossible? Why is it impossible? Zhou Yaoguang, do you know that all your cognition of your Tan Lang is fake! You don't know his real name, you don't know who he really is, and you don't know what he really looks like. Even, even the Jinhan you call in your mouth is just a 'number' he gave himself and didn't use much. ”

At this point, glancing at Zhou Yaoguang, whose legs were limp on the ground, Xia Shuanghan, who raised his eyes and signaled to the two little guys, "You don't need to hold on so tightly, she can't run away at all" continued: "If you think that with the false identity that Xu Jinhan told you at the beginning, you can find him after escaping, then you can try." Taking off the mask of human skin covering his face, I want to see if you can find someone you don't know anything about in this huge capital. ”

After telling her about what she learned from Su Yixing yesterday about how Xu Jinhan deceived Zhou Yaoguang, Xia Shuanghan, who had said this, raised her chin and let the two little guys drag Zhou Yaoguang out. As for whether Zhou Yaoguang believes what she just said, what will happen if she believes it, what if she doesn't believe it, these are not things that Xia Shuanghan cares about.

Turning around and turning to Lu Shaoyun, who had been standing beside her and did not raise any objections to her words and deeds, Xia Shuanghan, who was smiling, reached out to hold her husband's arm, and then walked into the main hall of the Xia family with him.

Asked his father for peace, and then the family had lunch together, and when the time gradually went away, considering that they needed to inform Xia Jingzhi of the news that "Xu Jinhan is the mastermind behind the scenes" today, and then inform Lu Xiaoqing of the news, Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun both said goodbye and left the Xia family and went to the Dingguo Mansion.

"Ouch, you're back? I thought you were so busy with the wedding that you couldn't come back to see me, an old man! In the Xixia courtyard of the Dingguo Mansion, Lu Xiaoqing, who didn't expect his grandson and granddaughter-in-law to come to the door today, teased Lu Shaoyun with a smile: "Tingxuan, isn't this the bride who accompanied you back to the door for three dynasties?" ”

"Grandfather, you can understand it that way! I don't have much of an opinion. Lu Shaoyun, who sat down with his newlywed wife on the chair below, greeted Lu Xiaoqing for a while, and then had tea, only then did he tell the meaning of his coming today.

"I see, it turns out that all of this is because you and Su Shilang blocked his financial route, that's why he came up with such a trap to design you!" I never thought that Xu Jinhan was such a young junior, who had always left a good impression on him in the past few years, but Lu Xiaoqing, who had already gone astray and was deeply trapped on the wrong road, had a lot of emotion and a lot of sighs in his heart.

"So grandfather, considering that Su Shilang and I will have to brace ourselves to deal with Xu Jinhan with all our might, so in order to prevent him from retaliating, I hope you can transfer a few people to protect Chaoyang and father in the past, so that they don't have any accidents."

"Well, yes, that's what you said." Lu Xiaoqing, who agreed with Lu Shaoyun's statement, nodded and said, "What about you little two?" Do you need me to send a few men to your place? ”

"No need grandfather." Knowing that Lu Xiaoqing couldn't rest assured of her Xia Shuanghan, he waved his hand and smiled and declined: "I haven't forgotten the skills I mastered in order to go to the customs to draw maps outside the gate, not to mention that in the past year, I have learned a lot of poison techniques from Su Yixing, so I can protect my own safety, so you don't have to worry about it."
