In fact, what Qian Liulang guessed was not much different from the truth, but he was a person in the rivers and lakes, and what he considered was not as calculating as someone in the officialdom.

However, the reaction of the Xiao family when they knew about this matter was another story!

Since Duan Yan sent someone to sue Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Mubai was arrested and put in prison, Mrs. Xiao almost fainted when she heard it, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day!

What can she do as a woman, naturally she quickly sent someone to call Lord Xiao, who had not yet returned to the court.

Lord Xiao is still a Beijing official from the fourth grade after so many years, and if the fourth grade is placed outside, it is really not enough to look at it in this capital, but fortunately, he gave birth to a good son.

It's just that now that he hears the glorious deeds of his good son, his face has already darkened most of it!

Mrs. Xiao stood at the gate and waited for Lord Xiao to come back, perhaps Lord Xiao knew his wife's temperament, and Mrs. Xiao's eager eyes were immediately stopped by Lord Xiao as soon as they were cast on him!

"What does it look like to go in and say something, blocked at the gate!" Lord Xiao glanced at the subordinates in the neighborhood who had probes to probe their brains, and reprimanded them in a low voice.

When the door of his house was closed, he said sharply: "The people standing at the door today will all hit ten boards!" ”

Ten boards are not heavy, and you can continue to work after the fight, but it is also a small punishment, most people don't know what happened, and Lord Xiao's face is not good at this time.

When he returned to the main courtyard, Lord Xiao waved off without even drinking a sip of hot tea, and then said to Mrs. Xiao: "What the hell is going on, make it clear!" How could my son be molesting a girl on the street! It's ridiculous! ”

Mrs. Xiao is elegant and calm on weekdays, but at this time, she is completely a mother who is anxious for her son: "The concubine saw with her own eyes what it was like at that time, poor how could my son have suffered like this since he was a child?" ”

Seeing that Lord Xiao was unmoved, she wiped her tears and knelt down ruthlessly: "Master, the concubine has not begged you for anything all these years, for the sake of husband and wife for many years, you must rescue our son!" ”

Mrs. Xiao actually didn't say some things to Lord Xiao, and Duan Yan had already sent a message back to say it. The jailer in the cell decided that the person was a fake, and it didn't make sense, let alone release him, and it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to get out for ten days and half a month. When she thought that her son, who had been raised with hard work, would have to stay in that place where she did not see the light of day for half a month, she felt like a knife.

Seeing that his old wife had no demeanor at this time, Lord Xiao sighed and helped the person up from the ground: "What are you doing!" That's my son too! How can I stay out of it! ”

"Don't worry, I've already asked someone to inquire about the news, and it is estimated that I will be back soon. You go and freshen up first, in case your son comes back and sees you like this, wouldn't it be rude? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mrs. Xiao suddenly walked to her bedroom in a hurry, and she didn't see Lord Xiao's furrowed eyebrows at all.

It stands to reason that the words "Hanlin Academy" are actually very powerful, and they are basically the places where the emperor cultivates his henchmen and first assistants.

And he still believes in his son's character, he doesn't even have a room girl in the house, how can he go outside? This is what others believe, but he, the father, does not believe!

I don't know what's going wrong now. Someone didn't even give their father and son face?

The person sent by Lord Xiao to inquire about the news did not make him wait long, and came back soon.

Seeing that there was no one behind him, Lord Xiao frowned and said, "Why didn't you take the young master out?" ”

The person who came said with a sad face: "Back to the master, the official in the yamen said...... Say ......" The person who came lowered his head, not knowing how to say these words, and thought of a more appropriate word to express.

"What does it look like!" Seeing him like this, Lord Xiao had a bad premonition, and asked with a tense face: "What does the official say, you report it truthfully!" ”

"The official said that the person in the cell is not the young master!"

Lord Xiao instantly breathed a sigh of relief: "Not a young master? Where is the young master? "My son was put in prison. Lord Xiao is actually still very worried that if it spreads, his reputation will be gone, but now when he hears this, he even has a glimmer of hope in his heart, is it wrong?

The person who knelt on the ground and replied buried his head in a low voice: "The servant himself led the servant to the door of the cell and took a look. The minion is very sure that it is the young master! But at that time, the official said something, and the slave didn't dare to admit that it was the young master! ”

Lord Xiao asked very calmly, "What did the official say?" ”

The official said that this person was charged with three crimes. First, pulling and pulling with the folk girls on the street is immoral; Second, pretending to be an official of the imperial court. unpredictable; Third, spying on the whereabouts of royal nobles should be punished! ”

As the man said a word, Lord Xiao's face turned white, until he heard the last sentence, Lord Xiao stood up directly in shock, probably because he was too violent, he only felt dizzy!

"You repeat, what snooping, I didn't hear clearly!"

"Spy on the whereabouts of the royal nobles!"

In fact, he didn't hear anything clearly, he just couldn't believe it, and at this time he could calmly ask his personal follower: "Then why didn't you dare to admit that it was the young master?" ”

This is often the person left to him by his old father, a few years older than him, it can be said that he grew up with him since he was a child, but he has a little more knowledge than others, and he can listen to other people's words on weekdays! At this time, it was just a little unacceptable to be stimulated by this news for a while.

If it wasn't that the young master of the Xiao family could say that he was a madman talking nonsense, he would be released after being locked up in prison for ten days and half a month without evidence, and then he would make a little money to make a little money, and there would be only a few people in the prison, at most he would spend a little more silver. Then go to the Hanlin Courtyard to report his son on sick leave, and let his wife take care of it herself, but he can hide it from the outside world......

"Now that the young master has just been in the middle of the flower, these charges are so alarmist, and spreading them will do the young master all kinds of harm but no benefit! Since the officials in the prison don't believe that it is the young master, they simply plan it, and we don't admit that it is the young master, wait for the limelight to pass for two days, and then the slave will go and do it again, and try to make the young master suffer less in prison! ”

Lord Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief, it was much more reassuring to have a servant who understood things! Sure enough, it was about the same as he thought.

Lord Xiao felt trembling when he thought of the crime he had pressed on Xiao Mubai, especially the last one, if he met a faint man with a bad temper, their Xiao family would be a catastrophe of raiding the family and exterminating the clan!

It's good to let that bastard kid suffer a little in prison these days! (To be continued.) )
