Chapter 12: Rescue the Hostages

In the evening, everyone gathered together and had dinner in the palace. I saw that the tenth master pulled the little fish over and said, "Little fish, sit down and eat with us."

"Still can't do it, I'll just go to the kitchen and find something to eat later." Xiao Yu'er seemed to be a little frightened, indeed, how could so many elder brothers sit here, how could they not be afraid.

"It's okay, don't be so restrained, sit." The tenth master pushed the little fish who didn't dare to come forward.

I saw that Xiao Yu'er was so nervous, so I naturally said, "Xiao Yu'er, or you sit next to me."

"Okay" Xiao Yu'er glanced at the tenth master who had been refusing to let go of her, and immediately agreed, and ran to sit down.

"Then I'll sit next to you." The Tenth Master ran over and sat on the side.

I see that the tenth master always looks at the little fish and laughs, and I know what's going on. I smiled secretly: it seems that I have to help them both.

"Fourth brother, it's rare for our brothers to have the opportunity to gossip like this today, don't be restrained." The eighth master was in danger on his face.

"Then tonight you really have to get drunk and don't go home." The fourth master also said with a smile.

I saw the Ninth Master taking a sip of the wine glass, and he didn't seem to be so happy.

The Fourteenth Master noticed the Ninth Master's little affection, and began to shout at the two of them: "Fourth brother, starling brother, don't just talk, we also have to eat vegetables."

"It's just that I'm a little hungry." The tenth master also joined in the fun.

The eighth master probably felt that a group of foodies were reacting, so he smiled and said, "Today, the fourth brother is the elder, so please ask the fourth brother to move the chopsticks first."

I looked at the fourth master, and the fourth master looked at me. Then he said, "Then I will be disrespectful."

I saw that the fourth master began to clamp a piece of chicken, and the others began to pick up chopsticks one after another.

The fourth master took a piece of yam and put it in my bowl, and I politely said, "Thank you, fourth master."

The fourth master just smiled faintly.

"Come on. I'll clip you a piece too. "The tenth master sandwiched a piece of fried squid to Xiao Yu'er.

"Thank you, Tenth Master." Xiao Yu'er took the squid in the bowl and began to eat it, thinking that she was still a little nervous.

Jiu Ye just blindly ate vegetables and drank wine, just taking the time to look at me a few more times, while I was busy eating vegetables and didn't notice it at all. The eighth master and the fourth master were also chatting. It is estimated that the one who can notice the ninth master is the fourteenth master.

At night, the eighth and ninth masters sat in the courtyard. Each is holding a carving knife and carving a little figure.

The eighth master secretly observed the ninth master while carving.

"Starling, do you have something to say?" The Ninth Master blew the carved sawdust.

"Ninth brother, I noticed that you seemed to be very unhappy during the banquet, and I naturally knew what reason you were for. But as your older brother. I still have to advise you. "Eighth master

"Starling, don't you want to say the same as the fourteenth brother, do you want me to give up?" The Ninth Master continued to carve.

The eighth master put down the knife in his hand: "You have also seen that the relationship between the fourth brother and Shu Qiao is already very stable, if you don't let go of your obsession, if you let the fourth brother know in the future, maybe you won't even have a chance to be friends." The eighth master painstakingly comforted.

The ninth master suddenly stopped carving, thinking that what the starling said was very reasonable: if I insist on asking her to give me an answer. He must still be the fourth brother chosen, and when the time comes, it may be as the starling brother said. I don't even have a chance to be friends anymore.

The eighth master saw that the ninth master had a reaction, and knew that he should let the ninth master think about it himself. He stood up and picked up the puppet and patted the ninth master on the shoulder: "It's time to think about it, but rest early."

Jiu Ye said softly, "um", in fact, his thoughts were still stuck just now.

The ninth master was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, and someone next to him was holding an umbrella to shade him, reading a book in his hand.

"Ninth Master, are you basking in the sun or blowing the wind?" I walked over.

"The air outside is relatively fresh, and I can't move at will, which is just right for me to read books outside and enhance my self-cultivation." The ninth master said very pleasantly.

"It seems that the Ninth Master is finally going to be angry, congratulations." I made a congratulatory gesture.

The ninth master smiled proudly, and I walked to the stone bench next to me and sat down.

"By the way, are your injuries healed?" The Ninth Master suddenly asked very gently.

I touched the gauze on my head and said casually: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but I'm afraid of accidentally scratching it, so I've been sticking to the gauze."

The Ninth Master nodded reassuringly.

The eighth master walked suddenly, and his steps seemed a little hasty.

The eighth master said with some concern: "Bao Xing has been arrested, but he wants to see you."

"Then I really want to see you." The ninth master suddenly became so strict again. It's been a long time since I've seen this, and I suddenly feel like I'm not used to it.

The ninth master walked in slowly and saw the cloaked bag sitting alone in front of the bed in the cell.

Jiu Ye: "Bao Xing, you hand over the account book, maybe I can make your death more comfortable."

"Haha......" Bao Xing stood up and walked to the railing, "Nine Emperor Princes, since I have committed a big mouth, I have never thought that it would be comfortable to die, but there are so many people buried with me, including you, where I will die." ”

"What do you mean?" The ninth master asked slowly as he approached, his eyes sharp enough to kill a person.

All of us stood outside the door, lingering: why did he only see Ah Jiu, now that those women have not been rescued, Bao Xing will definitely not say it lightly.

I saw the ninth master walking out in a hurry, with a stern expression, and the eighth master stepped forward and asked, "Ninth brother, what's wrong?"

The Ninth Master said very strictly: "The Bao Bank has secretly sent the account book to the palace, if I don't go back to stop it, I'm afraid there will be an incident."

The eighth master knew that this was a big event: "This matter is not trivial, let's hurry back to Beijing."

After the eighth master finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave, "Wait a minute, starling." ”

The Ninth Master walked up to me: "Those women haven't been rescued yet, and Bao Xing has already cut off their diet, I believe you can find them."

"Well, I'll find them." I said firmly.

After the ninth master finished speaking, he immediately left with the eighth master, the tenth master, and the ninth master: if the account book was sent to the emperor, the ninth master would definitely be speechless. If Kangxi was furious, wouldn't it be me who hurt the ninth master again, now. Bao Xing's subordinates are nowhere to be found, and only by finding the woman can he have a chance to prove the innocence of the ninth master.

I went to the ancestral hall, looked at the walls, took the paintings off the walls, and faced the door.

I moved a chair and sat in front of the wall: this was the exit. Why did it suddenly turn into a cellar. If even if the bag bank wants to hide, it will be too late for a day's work. Exactly what happened to the business, there must be a detail that I didn't find.

I was thinking about it, but I didn't realize that the fourth master had already come over.

"A person thinks, maybe the thinking is always fixed, why not find the other party's flaws." Fourth Master.

I thought for a moment: yes. Just talk. There will always be flaws.

I stood up and happily grabbed the fourth master's shoulder: "Thank you, fourth master." Then I staggered out.

The fourth master probably thought it was funny that I was excited, so he smiled alone in place.

I walked to the fence and saw Bao Xing like a monk meditating.

"Bao Xing, don't you think it's a bit cruel to want to kill so many women and unborn children?" I.

"Cruel?" Bao Xing smiled disdainfully: "Now my field is not because of the two of you, since you want to be so kind, then they have to pay the price for the kindness of the two of you."

"I'll let them out of that door. You won't be able to. I said fiercely, in fact, I wanted to know what he was going to say next.

"You'll never want to let him out of that door. No one will notice. Bao Xing shook his head. While laughing.

"You're crazy." I left the cell and went back to the temple.

Since he said I would never want them to come out of this door, this door must be the key. I wandered for a long time, biting my fingers, not knowing what to do, I sat down and stared at the door for a moment: what the hell was left unnoticed.

Yingqi and Shilan walked over and saw me staring intently at the wall in front of me, not noticing anyone stepping in.

Yingqi: "Shu Qiao, why do you keep staring at this wall."

I stood up and smiled: "According to Bao Xing's words, this door is still the key, I thought about it for a while, the cellar is definitely not newly built, and it does not have this speed, so the flaw is still in this door."

"Sister Qiao, it's really hard for you." Shilan handed over a bowl of pickled meat porridge: "You haven't eaten for a day, let's drink some porridge first."

I pushed the porridge: "Wait a minute, I want to study it again."

"If you don't have a full stomach, how can you have the strength to study." The fourth master walked in from outside and took the porridge from Shilan's hand.

"Fourth Master." Eagle Chess still said politely.

The fourth master nodded, and directly scooped up a spoonful, I saw that since the fourth master had already fed me such a little woman porridge so politely, I naturally couldn't refuse.

Although I don't really want to drink it, I can't be so hypocritical and don't even give the fourth master face.

I smiled a little indifferently, perhaps mixed with inner uneasiness.

I heard the sound of the stone door being opened, and I turned my head to see that it was Shilan squatting on the ground, constantly fiddling with the mechanism: "What is the flaw in this door?"

I smiled and took the porridge in the fourth master's hand: "I'll do it myself."

The fourth master gave me the bowl, and I looked at the door while eating, but I always felt that this door was a little different from what I had seen before.

By the way, I suddenly remembered what was different: "This door is not opened the right way."

I blurted out all at once.

"What?" The fourth master asked.

Shilan and Yingqi just looked at me in surprise.

I put down the porridge and immediately ran to this door, and I turned around and said, "Tear this door down."

Eagle immediately stepped forward and said, "I'll call someone to tear it down right away."

I nodded, and since there were a lot of people in the room, I stood outside the door and waited.

"The door opened." Eagle chess came out to report the news.

We ran in together, and sure enough, the door opened: "Eagle chess, you take someone in to search."

"Yes." Eagle turned to them and shouted, "Come with me."

I saw everyone climb in, and my heart grew a little happier.

"You two girls go back to rest first, and I'll go over and have a look." Fourth Master.

"Fourth Master be careful." I'm afraid that the other side of the secret passage will have some mechanism set up by the bag shop.

"Got it, go back." The fourth master patted me on the shoulder, and then followed them all in.

I went back to my bedroom and began to drink the porridge comfortably.

"Sister Qiao, where is the Ninth Master?" Shilan inquired curiously.

I put down the spoon and said, "The ninth master has encountered some things now, so when those people are rescued, I will return to Beijing with the fourth master immediately."

"What happened to the Ninth Master?" Shilan asked nervously.

I held his hand: "Don't worry, the ninth master will take care of it himself, but there may be fewer opportunities for us to meet in the future, but I will still come to see you when I have time."

Shilan thought for a moment: "Sister, can I go with you?"

"This time we will leave in a hurry, and when the matter is settled, I will ask the fourth master to send someone to pick you up." I comforted her, after all, she must hurry back to the capital at that time, Shilan has a heart attack, which is not good for her health.

"Shu Qiao, those women have been rescued, and I have selected three women to go back with you to testify for the ninth master." Eagle walked in and finished talking at once.

"Okay, let's go back to Beijing immediately, what about the fourth master?" I looked behind for a while, but the fourth master hadn't appeared yet.

"The fourth master has already gone to prepare the carriage and horses, just waiting for you to pass." Eagle chess.

Then I immediately said, "Then I'll go first, see you next time." I looked at Selan and nodded, and then I left immediately.

Shilan was a little worried, and said to her brother, "Brother, why don't we also go and help Sister Qiao."

"No, your sister Qiao is in a hurry this time, and your body will not be able to bear it." Eagle tells the truth. But seeing that Shilan seemed a little unhappy, she comforted and said, "Help me take care of those girls, and when the matter is resolved, I will take you to Beijing."

"Uh-huh." Shilan seemed to hear the hope and nodded happily.

I sat on the carriage with my hands on my stomach all the time: oops, my head is so dizzy, my stomach is so uncomfortable, it seems that this carriage is not necessarily comfortable.

"What's wrong? Isn't it a little dizzy? The fourth master looked at me and asked.

I shook my head, "It's fine."

"You're always so strong, when did you learn to be a coquettish for yourself." The fourth master sat down close to me and gently rubbed my back with his hands.

I laughed a little, and suddenly I felt wrong, and a large warm current gradually rushed up from my stomach: "Uh......" I turned my head and vomited on the carriage: "It's too embarrassing."

I wiped my mouth embarrassedly, and immediately blocked the eyes of the fourth master who was worried with my left hand: "You are not allowed to look at it, I am afraid that it will disgust you."

The fourth master took my hand and slowly put my hand down: "Do you think I will be such a person?"

I thought about it for a while, how can a person who has to live for a lifetime never be seen in such a tragic situation.

"Why don't we take a break and have the carriage cleaned up." Fourth Master.

I nodded, rested on the side of the road, I felt that I was almost there, so I said to the fourth master: "Fourth master, why don't you ride back with me, and the three women will let the people from the yamen escort them to the capital."

"Are you still feeling unwell now?" The fourth master asked with concern.

I paused for a moment and shook my head, "It's totally fine." I spread my hands and looked like I wasn't lying.

"Okay, I'll go and give you orders." The fourth master looked at me very understandingly, I looked at his back, I don't know if I was found to be lying because of my weak heart, or I felt too troublesome for the fourth master, and I always felt a little guilty. (To be continued.) )
