Hongchen closed his eyes and was silent for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Mei Shilang didn't dare to urge, and as for the old lady and his wife, they even let their breathing sound shallower, for fear of affecting the county lord.

After a while, Hongchen finally exhaled and said coldly: "Go in, it won't be wrong." ”

Mei Shilang suddenly trembled, and even his mouth trembled.

At this moment, the old lady vaguely saw that something was wrong, grabbed her son's hand, squeezed it tightly, and even scratched several blood marks on the back of his hand.

At this time, Mei Shilang didn't feel a trace of pain.

The wind was still blowing outside.

Not far away, there was a house that was half collapsed, the walls were broken, and there were two and a half children shrunk in the corner, their faces were pale and they were only wrapped in a broken single jacket, and the two of them leaned together to keep warm, their faces numb.

I don't know if these two children will survive this winter.

Mei Shilang suddenly felt indescribable despair and pain, but the pain was extreme, looking at his white-haired mother, he calmed down a lot, gently held his mother's arm, gritted his teeth and walked forward with Hongchen.

The doorway of the black hole in front of it is like a magic cave, as if it can swallow everything that walks in.

After walking a few steps, seeing that the people around Lin Xu went over and knocked on the door, Mei Shilang was even more worried, and couldn't help but say, "Shall we still do it, or take a long-term view?" ”

Hongchen was stunned.

Mei Shilang said softly: "It's not that I don't want to hurry up and save our family's ingots, but this place is ...... after all If you break in rashly, will it harm our ingots? ”

After reading those information, he felt that this place was the tiger's den in Longtan, of course, even if it was the tiger's den and Longtan, he had to break through, but he had to bring all the people, everyone was equipped with a sword, be careful, and be well prepared.

As it is now, no preparations have been made......

At this time, Miss Fang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "That's right, this place is not easy to provoke at first glance, let's not say whether the ingots are here, if they are not here, we will offend these people by running for nothing, even if they are, then they can't be so reckless and intrude, the safety of the child is the most important." ”

Hongchen glanced at her and smiled.

When Mei Shilang heard this, his brain was even more confused, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak for a while, and the moment he was thinking nonsense, he saw the door open over there.

He immediately chuckled in his heart.

Through the light of the lantern, which is not bright, there are seven or eight big men in the doorway, all of them with tigers on their backs, but they don't know whether they are alive or dead.

Mei Shilang shut his mouth when he stepped up.

His mother and wife were so frightened that they closed their eyes, and it took courage to follow Hongchen into the door, and a few screams could be faintly heard.

In the courtyard, on the left and right sides of the house, there were people who had fallen everywhere, but there was no movement outside.

Mei Shilang had heard from the people in the Criminal Department before, and it was not that they didn't want to deal with this gang of crazy things, but these people were ruthless, there were many people, and they were colluding with each other, and they were leaning against a big tree behind them, and they wanted to clean up the tumor, where is it so easy!

If he hadn't known this, he wouldn't have been so scared.

But now it doesn't seem to be that hard.

In fact, now it looks very simple, Mei Shilang didn't even see who could do it, as they walked inside, the people inside were all cleaned up, and the outside was peaceful, and the so-called watching and helping each other was like a joke at all.

The next moment, a door to the west was kicked open, and a group of ragged and frightened children shrank in the corner!

Mei Shilang couldn't think of the mess anymore for a moment, and anxiously wandered among them.

But no!

No ingots!

A group of children were covered in bruises, several arms and legs were broken, several eyes were stitched up, and most of their faces were covered with fire marks, and they looked terrible.

Thump.

Mrs. Mei's whole body softened and fell to the ground, and Mrs. Mei used all her strength to support her mother-in-law.

"Ingots, ingots!"

Old Madam Mei shouted bitterly.

Mrs. Mei's face was pale, her lips trembled, looking at these children who didn't know how much she had suffered and been tortured to the point that she couldn't look like this, she was terrified in her heart, what would she do if her ingots were also treated like this!

"It's all my fault!"

Mrs. Mei cried, and the whole person finally collapsed, "It's all me, my life is not good, I shouldn't have a son in my life, I should agree, let Fang Yatou enter the door, let her be a little lady for our Yuanbao, as long as you can save Yuanbao's life, nothing else matters, it doesn't matter!" ”

"What nonsense!"

Mei Shilang frowned, hugged his wife, and his face was ugly.

"What nonsense, if I hadn't been destined to have no children, I wouldn't have survived for so many years with only one ingot, he is not in good health, there are ingots that I stole from under God's nose, and now he sees it, he wants to take my ingots back, woo."

Mei Shilang was even more angry: "That's all nonsense, what do you believe in this, you are my wife, Yuanbao is your son, we have Yuanbao, that is a good blessing for you and me, how can you believe that there is no child." ”

He was also so anxious that he was incoherent.

Hongchen grabbed Mei Shilang's waving arm: "Okay, let's see if there are any of your children." ”

When the words fell, everyone turned around and saw one of Hongchen's guards bringing a few children from another room.

These few people were all stripped clean, everyone was wearing only single clothes, two of them were unconscious, with a high fever that did not go away, obviously frozen, and the others were also injured.

Mei Shilang's body stiffened.

Before he could speak, his wife rushed over with her whole body, hugged the unconscious child who fell to the ground, and shouted miserably: "Yuanbao!" ”

Finally found it.

Hongchen sighed: "Doctor, take a look." ”

I felt that things were not good in the morning, and I was afraid that I would be able to use the doctor, so Lin Xu notified him, and when his people came, they would bring the doctor with him.

There are several doctors, and they have already begun to check on the children.

Yuanbao's physical condition was very bad, and the doctor frowned as soon as he checked his pulse, and Mei Shilang's face changed in fright.

Fortunately, the medicine was complete, and the doctor didn't say anything that couldn't be treated, so he prescribed the medicine before saying: "I'm cold, and I have injuries on my body, this child is weak and needs to be recuperated, I'm afraid I will have to stay in bed for a while to recover." ”

Mei Shilang exhaled softly, and the whole person relaxed a lot.

His wife and old mother surrounded the child, full of heart and eyes on the child, the wife was holding the ingots and refused to let go, has been hugging all the way, back to Mei's house, she personally put the child on the bed, fed him medicine, watched the child wake up in a daze, called her mother, and fell asleep, and the heart was a little steady.

Mei Shilang stood up and knelt down for Hongchen, who didn't even have time to dodge.

"The county lord saved the lives of Mei's family, if the ingots have three longs and two shorts, Mei really can't live."

Hongchen waved his hand and interrupted him: "Get up first." ”

Lin Xu went over to help the poor father up, everyone sat down, served tea, and knew that he was in a hurry to see his son, but Hongchen was not in a hurry to leave.

"Master Mei, since I am in charge of your affairs, it is better to be perfect, otherwise next time your child loses it again, I am afraid that there will be no luck this time."

Mei Shilang was stunned.

Hongchen sighed: "That day, the old lady and the lady took the little son to help the victims, that was with the families of many officials, the children present at the time, not only your little son, to be honest, compared with the little son of other official eunuchs, your ingots are thin and weak, and the appearance is not good, and the dress is not outstanding, he is six years old this year, and his age is not too small. ”

Mei Shilang was even more confused.

"So I was a little suspicious from the beginning, maybe this kidnapper is specifically staring at your family."

"Ah, me, my enemy?"

Mei Shilang was shocked.

Hongchen shrugged: "At first, I thought it was, but then I thought about it, it seems rare to have such a thing as a disaster to my family." ”

If he has a grudge with Mei Shilang, it must be a dispute in the court, and it will not be a big dispute, how much grudge can he have as a squire in the Ministry of Works, and let people come to harm his children!

There are also rules for fighting in the court, if once the line is crossed, it will definitely be attacked by a group, and whoever is an official in the court can not have a few political disagreements or political enemies with other conflicting interests, if everyone shoots at the enemy's family, then they will feel insecure first.

"Master Mei, we don't have to guess, now that everyone has been caught, what is the secret, you can find out if you ask."

Hongchen said with a smile.

Lin Xu also smiled and signaled, and after a while, someone brought a kid with a blurred face over, this person didn't look very good and was a little sluggish, but at this point, he was calm and didn't behave particularly badly.

Without waiting for Mei Shilang and Hongchen to ask, he crackled and told everything he knew, very neatly.

"That little young master is indeed not abducted by our people, it was someone else who took the initiative to send it, and the person who sent him was hiding his head and tail, mysterious and secretive, only saying that he was the father of the child, and he sold it if he couldn't afford it."

The man sneered, "It's a lie when you hear it, which father will sell his children to us?" Even if we are generous and willing to give money, my father rarely sells his children to me! We do this kind of business, we are cautious in doing things, although the guy hides tightly, but the cat has a cat path, the mouse has a mouse path, he must not know, this street is our eyeliner, he wants to hide, how can it be so easy! ”

This person is still quite proud, but as soon as he saw Lin Xu's eyes, he became decadent again, and smiled bitterly, "Hey, it's useless to have eyeliner, when we meet the son, we can only admit it." ”

Lin Xu didn't care, and said softly: "You continue." ”

The man continued.

"The man who sold the child was a frequent visitor to a casino in the west of the city, and we stared at him for less than half a day when we saw him connect with a young lady from a large family, and took a lot of gold and silver jewelry from the young lady's hand, and went to pay off the gambling debts."

At this point, the man stopped.

Mei Shilang was inexplicable for a moment, and said urgently: "Miss? Which lady is it? ”

"Ahem."

The man smiled bitterly, "I also think it's strange......" He glanced at Lin Xu before he said, "It's your family." ”

There was a click.

There was the sound of a glass breaking at the door.

Mei Shilang's wife stood in front of the door and smashed the teacup with her hand, in fact, no one could have heard such news, she could not have been calm.

The man who spoke turned his head and glanced at his wife, and said softly: "We have inquired, that young lady is your cousin in the house, this, we are afraid of trouble in doing business, since we know the whole story, we don't pay much attention to it." ”

Miss Table?

Mei Shilang reacted for a moment, and then suddenly it was said that this was Fang girl.

He stood up as soon as he arrived: "How is it possible! I, my cousin and I have no grievances! "Not only is there no hatred, if it weren't for the Mei family's acceptance, the older palace maid who came out of the palace would be alone, and I am afraid that she would not even be able to keep the little bit of family wealth that she hid, and the best result would be to be hired back to be a subordinate mother, or to marry an old person to fill the house.

"Probably not, I'll have to go to that lady and ask her."

Hongchen stood up.

Mei Shilang also got up.

At this time, Fang Yatou was taking care of Yuan Bao in the main room of the backyard, and when they entered the door, Fang Yatou comforted Mrs. Mei softly, but she seemed a little absent-minded.

Hongchen didn't move much, went in quietly, and suddenly spoke: "Why didn't the ingots die!" ”

Her voice was full of strange smells.

When Mei Shilang heard this, he felt his heart explode.

"It should have been ...... to die"

Fang Yatou opened her mouth and said, a word came out, suddenly noticed, covered her mouth suddenly, turned back in horror, and her face was shocked.

Hongchen nodded: "It turned out that he wanted to kill the child." ”

Even if Fang Yatou denied it at a loss, Mei Shilang didn't want to hear anything, seeing her like this, no matter how incredible it was, she knew that she was indeed able to do it!

"Why?" Mei Shilang's face was full of incredulity, "My Mei family took you in, treated you as a serious lady, and served you with good food and drink, I, I also asked my mother to tell you a good family, and I have done my best to be kind to you, why did you do this!" ”

Fang Yatou was forced step by step by Mei Shilang, staggered back, and shrank in the corner, her posture was weak, and she looked pitiful.

Both Mrs. May and the old lady were confused.

The old lady vaguely guessed something, but couldn't believe it.

Hongchen sneered: "Don't be stubborn, I know, you are desperately trying to clear yourself now, but unfortunately you don't understand, I Xia Hongchen wants to check your affairs, it will not be more difficult than eating, you have served three beauties in the palace, once you notice that the beauty is unwilling, you immediately change the court, in order to get on top, frame and enter the palace with you, the girl who is like a sister has an affair with the guard, and she also personally killed a little palace maid who had just entered the palace, and threw her body into the well, making the illusion that she had fallen into the water, Just because you suspect that she heard you talk in your dreams, but you are really resolute and vicious, but you are unlucky, and you can't do anything, just having the heart to climb up, it doesn't work in the palace. ”

Everyone present was stunned when they heard these words. (To be continued.) )
