The Rong family, who came at the end of the Duanhui County Lord, stayed until the time of Shen Zheng before leaving.

The two talked about everything from calligraphy to piano skills, and finally Duanhui also told Rong Zheng about making her own incense. Rong Zheng knew that Duan Hui was very good at making incense.

In addition to these things, Duanhui did not mention anything else to Rong Zheng. Until the time of farewell, Duanhui and Rong Zheng said with a pleasant face: "I will come to the villa to visit when I am free in the future." ”

Rong Zheng personally sent Duan Hui to the Hanging Flower Gate, and saw her get on the sedan chair before going back.

Duanhui deliberately ran this trip, so that Chen and Dantang, who were on the same road, couldn't understand it. So much so that when he returned to the villa, Chen couldn't help but ask: "The old slave still thinks that the county lord went to Miss Rongsan to talk about Uncle Mu." ”

Duanhui shook his head with a smile and said, "Why am I talking to her about this." ”

"But the county lord and Miss Rongsan had a very happy conversation, and it seems that Miss Rongsan and the county lord are also very compatible."

Duanhui's purpose for going this time was very clear, and she also received the results she wanted.

"Where is Junhua?"

Su Su, who was making shoes under the window, said, "Uncle has gone to the city." ”

"He went alone?"

Su said: "I brought Pingkang and Baokang." ”

Duanhui didn't ask much, so he asked Fucui to call.

Mu Xuan didn't come back until the second watch, knowing that his sister was waiting for him. I didn't have time to change my clothes, so I went to Splendid Temple.

As soon as he entered the house, Duan Hui smelled Mu Xuan's body and frowned, "Where did you drink so much wine from?" ”

Mu Xuan was slightly drunk, but he hadn't gotten drunk yet, and it was the first time that he knew that his alcohol consumption was so good. His cheeks were slightly drunk, and his words were very clear: "I made an appointment with someone and sat in the Huixian Restaurant for an afternoon." ”

"Don't you don't drink much? How did you run to Huixian Restaurant? Besides, you and Cui Xiaoqi can also drink it in the villa. Why bother? Coming back so late? ”

Mu Xuan smiled and said, "It's not Xiao Qi, I drank it with others." ”

Duanhui is even more strange, her younger brother has a somewhat eccentric temperament and doesn't interact with people much. In addition, I grew up in the temple, and I was used to being pure-hearted and had few desires, and when did I make other friends. In Duanhui's opinion, the deeper his younger brother falls into the red dust, the better it is. She didn't say a word of reproach. He instructed the maid to cook sobering soup for Mu Xuan.

Mu Xuan said: "Don't bother. I'm not drunk either. ”

"I don't care if you're drunk or not. You come back after drinking so much wine, and it's the first time, and when you save the wine, you will sleep carefully and say dizzy tomorrow. ”

Mu Xuan returned to Tangli Study. He habitually asked Fu Cui: "There's nothing going on at home today, right?" ”

Fu Cui replied with a smile: "It's nothing, when the county lord came back in the evening, he asked the slave maid to go over and ask some things about the uncle." It's also about the uncle's daily life and the like. I also asked the uncle when he was going to leave for Beijing? ”

Mu Xuan was originally going to leave in the next two days, but he got on the line with the master. encountered Rong Zheng again, and he was tripped up. I'm afraid it will be postponed for a few days.

"Where is the county lord going out today? Do you know where she went? ”

Fu Cui smiled: "It turns out that the uncle doesn't know yet." The county lord went to Rong's house today and stayed for more than an hour. ”

"The Rong family?" Mu Xuan was a little surprised, Sister Xindao had never been to the door of the Rong family. Why did you suddenly go today. With a slight turn of his mind, he thought of his sister's purpose. I must have gone to see Rong Zheng. He knew that his sister was quite dissatisfied with Rong Zheng, why did she still come to the door, could it be that she was going to trouble Rong Zheng?

Mu Xuan couldn't sit still anymore when she thought of this. Unexpectedly, my sister hadn't fallen asleep yet, so she put on a dress and walked out.

said that Duanhui asked the maid to give her a head. Be prepared to lie down. Mu Xuan opened the curtain and broke in, Mu Xuan's unusual behavior surprised Duan Hui very much, and he couldn't help but say, "It's so late, what's the matter with you?" ”

"Sister, why are you going to find Miss Rongsan?"

Seeing his younger brother so nervous, Duan Hui felt a little clear, nodded and said, "Yes, sit down with her." ”

"Then my sister didn't embarrass her, did she?"

"Embarrass her?" Duanhui felt funny, patted Mu Xuan's shoulder and said, "You are really nervous about her." Hearing that I had gone to find her, I didn't even sleep, so I hurried over. You just want to marry her so much? ”

Mu Xuan lowered her head a little embarrassed, and said eagerly: "My sister will laugh at me." Seriously, what is the matter with my sister looking for her? ”

"What's the matter? Nothing happened, so I chatted with her casually for half an afternoon. I looked at her handwriting, listened to her play the piano, and then talked about the incense I made. Don't worry, I didn't mention a word about you. ”

Mu Xuan was extremely shocked, and Sister Xindao went to visit the door for this.

Duanhui looked at his younger brother's puzzled gaze and couldn't help but smile: "What, you don't believe me?" ”

Mu Xuan hurriedly said: "Where do I have it." ”

Duan Hui said with a smile: "I went on this trip, but I found that this Miss Rong San is really an introverted person. Although the appearance is not particularly outstanding, and the family background is not very noble, it is not as unbearable as it is rumored outside. I saw that she had her own thoughts, and she liked to read, and she was a sensible little girl. He who treats others is not arrogant and domineering. I admit that I used to be a little prejudiced against her, so it seems that she is a well-behaved and well-bred young lady. ”

Mu Xuan listened to her sister's praise, and felt that it was more useful than praising herself, and her heart was sweeter than eating honey.

"Well, now you should rest assured. I'm going to sleep with nothing to do. By the way, what day are you going to go? I made two boxes of incense, you bring them for me, one for the Queen Mother and one for the Queen. ”

Mu Xuan said: "It may be two days late, and I will definitely inform my sister when I have a quasi-date." ”

Duan Hui yawned, looking tired. Mu Xuan retreated.

Two days later, Rong Zheng sent a mother-in-law to deliver a roll of things. Duan Hui opened it and took a look, and on the gold-sprinkled Chengxintang paper, there was a small block of Ouyang body. It was the song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" that was written. The handwriting is neat and powerful, and it does take more thought than the volume she saw Rong Zheng receive.

Duanhui appreciated it twice, and then gave this volume to Mu Xuan to the maid.

Mu Xuan was very happy when she got this picture, and hurriedly said to Duanhui: "Since it was given to my sister, why did you transfer it to me?" ”

"What do I do for nothing. Knowing that you like these is not better for you. ”

Mu Xuan thanked her generously. Mu Xuan thinks that in this marriage. My sister's attitude has been relieved, unlike the opposition from the previous side. He saw hope.

"Sister, if this marriage can be successful, you won't be as opposed as before, right?"

Duan Hui said: "The key place now is not me, if the second master Rong doesn't let go, I'll see what you do." ”

"Sister, don't worry, I promised the second master Rong that I would definitely do it. I'm not talented. but they know what they promise faithfully. ”

Duan Hui didn't understand what his younger brother had promised Rong Jiang. But he knew that it was very difficult for Rong Jiang to agree to this family business again.

"Junhua, if this thing doesn't work out, don't be discouraged in the future. I know what is on your mind. But there are some things you need to know that you can't force it. ”

Mu Xuan understood her sister's worries, and in order not to let her worry, she comforted: "Sister, I know." This matter should be talked about the fate of the law. The so-called I am lucky. Lost my life. However, the second master Rong didn't say it to death, and I still have a way to live. It's up to creation. ”

Pingkang came. Danxia said through the curtain: "Uncle, Pingkang is here." ”

"What's the matter?" Mu Xuan sat still and did not move.

Ping Kang said outside the curtain: "Uncle Hui, things have progressed." ”

Mu Xuan raised his eyebrows, he naturally knew what the situation was. Then he got up and said to Duanhui, "Sister, I'll go down for a while." ”

"What's the matter?"

Mu Xuan said: "Miss Rongsan asked me to check on the three kidnappers, so I want to make progress." ”

"Didn't you report to the official? Naturally, there is a yamen to deal with it. What are you mixing blindly? ”

"The yamen said that everyone was dead, and it was a headless case. Seeing that Miss Rong had not been harmed, she was reluctant to investigate again, so she asked me. After all, I was one of those in the know. Sister, it's going to be fine. ”

Duanhui felt that this matter would not be so simple.

Mu Xuan walked out, Ping Kang hurriedly greeted him, and whispered in Mu Xuan's ear: "The identity has been found out, and another one related to them has been found." ”

"You mean it's just the three of them?"

Ping Kang said: "These three are just thugs. ”

Mu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, finally not all the clues were broken.

"Where are the people?"

Ping Kang said: "For the time being, I will be detained in the backyard of Puci Temple. ”

Mu Xuan hurriedly asked, "Who came up with the idea of where to lock people up?" ”

Ping Kang smiled: "Who else will there be besides Cui Qiye." ”

Mu Xuan said: "Only he can do it." ”

Now that the horses were ready, they went back to Puci Temple.

Cui Shangzhou sat in the hall and drank tea leisurely. Since Mu Xuan and the others moved away, Master Yuankong has sent a novice to clean it every once in a while, and the windows have been cleaned up, and the spider silk has not been full of pillars.

Ah Feng and Ah Luan are two brothers, guarding the people they caught. It wasn't until Cui Shangzhou heard the footsteps that he stood up and gently dusted his sleeves. Struggling out.

"Junhua, you're here."

Mu Xuan entered the door and asked, "What about people?" ”

Cui Shangzhou said: "Please wait a while, someone will bring it over immediately." ”

It didn't take long for Ah Feng to drag a man with a lot of flowers from the room below. When the person led Mu Xuan to him, Ah Feng kicked the man's knee hard, and said, "Seeing that our Uncle Mu still doesn't kneel, what a big face!" ”

Cui Shangzhou waved his hand, and Ah Feng retreated with interest.

Mu Xuan sat on the bamboo chair and looked at the person kneeling on the ground with a calm face, looking no more than thirty years old. Holding the Taoist priest's bun, but it was unkempt. He was dressed in brown satin clothes, and was of medium height and slightly fat. The fair-skinned round face was obviously colored, and it seemed that Cui Shangzhou had already entertained this person well before he came.

Where is the use of Mu Xuan's mouth, Cui Shangzhou stepped forward and asked: "I honestly explain, what is my surname, what is my name, where is I from, and what do I do." Why do you want to tie up Miss Rong and explain it to me one by one. If there is a half-sentence false, not to mention our Uncle Mu, even I will have enough for you to drink a pot. ”

The man on the ground looked up at Mu Xuan, who was sitting on the top, but came into contact with Mu Xuan's gaze as cold as ice, and he was a little timid in his heart, and he didn't dare to look directly, but looked at Cui Shangzhou and pleaded: "You will let my family go, right?" ”

"It depends on whether your answer is worthwhile or not."

"I say, I'll say anything."

Mu Xuan crossed her hands on her overlapping knees, looking like she wanted to hear about it.

"My name is Yang Xiu, a native of Xinxiang. Come to Bianliang to do small business and live outside the Jinshui River Gate. ”

Cui Shangzhou asked again: "Why did you do kidnapping when you do small business?" I heard that you also have a few thugs? ”

Yang Xiu said: "At first, I was doing small business, but later because of good gambling, all the money I earned was lost to the gambling house. As long as I do something else, I just met Lao Wu and Mazi because of business. They said that they could be human, not capital, and it was easy. Started to be human again. This is a lot of people in this industry who have held human lives in their hands, and gradually they have done a lot of things to steal chickens and dogs. On the 10th day of the first month of March, someone approached us and asked us to make a vote. said that he kidnapped the third lady of the Rong family, and paid two taels of silver. ”

"Who was looking for you?"

Yang Xiu said: "It's a man about the same age as me, with a round of beard." was born short and fat, surnamed Zhao. I don't know much about him. Two days later, he came to me again, saying that Miss Rongsan had gone out and was going to Lutang, and asked me to bring someone to wait on the road. ”

"What nonsense, you don't know and still take the job? The man gave you back the money? Just make up words to coax us! Cui Shangzhou said angrily.

"My wife and children are in your hands, where do you dare to tell half a lie." Yang Xiu looked cowering.

Mu Xuan believed him a little, so it seemed that there was a very terrible person hidden by Rong Zheng's side, and he wanted to put Rong Zheng in misfortune.

"That person wants you to tie up Miss Rong, and then what should you do?"

Yang Xiu said: "Then I went to the Rong family to ask for a ransom with great fanfare." ”

"If the Rong family gives money, will you release them? So what if the Rong family doesn't give it? ”

The person surnamed Zhao said: "If the Rong family really gives money, they will naturally let it go." If you don't give it, but scare her, lock her up for two or three days and still let her go back. ”

Mu Xuan opened his mouth and said coldly: "You coax ghosts." You yourself say that most of the people who do your job have human lives in their hands. If you can't get the money, can't you do the murderous thing? ”

Yang Xiutou was almost buried in the ground, and said tremblingly: "The person surnamed Zhao said that he just wanted to scare Miss Rongsan, and let me share forty percent of him when he got the money." If we can't get the money, if we kill Miss Rong San, the matter will be too big, saying that the Rong family is powerful, and it will definitely not let us go, and it will also affect our family. ”

Cui Shangzhou and Mu Xuan were both unheard of, extremely shocked, but their faces were not obvious. The two exchanged a look, which was very strange. Who is the person with the surname Zhao? What is the relationship between him and Rong Zheng? Both of them agreed that the surname Zhao had to be found out before the matter could be resolved. (To be continued.) )
