"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

Hearing the soul-like voice of the servant, Gao He threw down the official document in his hand irritably and said, "What's the matter, panicked, say!" ”

"A group of ordinary people gathered outside the official mansion, shouting that they wanted to avenge Xie Chi."

Gao He stood up and said angrily: "Nonsense, just by virtue of his reputation in Jin'an, who is willing to come forward for him, this must be his trick again." Find some men and disperse them, and if anyone refuses to listen to them, he will be dealt with as a disturbance. ”

The servant said with a bitter face: "My lord, the difficulty is that these people are not the people of Jin'an, they are all from Zhou'an Mountain, not only that, but the man who took the lead in making trouble is holding a petition and a complaint, they said, if the adults do not investigate this matter in detail and hastily convict Xie Chi, they, they will go up to Kyoto layer by layer, and someone will rule at that time." ”

"A bunch of savages!" Gao He turned around the house twice, and wondered: "How could the people of Zhoushan come to petition for Xie Chi?" ”

"Lord Hui, my subordinates have asked, a few days ago there was a disaster in Zhou'anshan, and it was Xie Chi who paid out of his pocket and did his best to assist the local government in disaster relief, which turned this matter from dangerous to safe."

The movement outside was getting louder and louder, and Gao He slapped the table and said, "You go and tell Liu Yi about this, and let him find a way to suppress it." ”

"Yes."

In the Shui Yang Gang, Liu Yi said in disbelief: "How is it possible? Even if he Xie Chi really paid for it, these dozens of people entered my Jin'an City from Zhou'an Mountain, how could there be no news at all. Liu Yi said with a frown, unless, this dark spot has already been replaced.

Thinking of this, Liu Yiqing's muscles burst out, and he tried his best to suppress his anger, thank you for burying this seed by my side for so long.

"Yan Qi."

The door was pushed open, Liu Yi glanced at Yan Qi, and said, "Bring the person in charge of a few dark spots in Jin'an." ”

"Yes."

The figure was far away, Liu Yi beckoned, and a small servant stepped forward, "You go and follow him, and also, find some people to secretly bring the wives and children of those responsible for the dark spots to the outskirts of the city." ”

"Yes."

In Taoyuan, when Heshan entered the door, Meng Zhou was tinkering with a bunch of Chinese medicine.

Heshan Qi said: "When I went out, I saw you tinkering with this, what are you doing for so long?" ”

"I'll make some new ones when I'm running out of powder."

"Where did you get all this stuff? It looks quite precious. ”

Meng Zhou slapped Heshan's hand away and said, "Don't move, where else can you get it, just the medicine that Miss Shen gave to Huaizhi." ”

Heshan snorted, "You really know how to make the most of it." ”

"How's it going?"

"It's getting louder."

Meng Zhou said strangely: "Didn't you say that Gao He had personally promised that he would investigate the matter in detail?" ”

"It's interesting, it's interesting."

Meng Zhou put down the medicinal herbs in his hand and said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Heshan said: "As you said, Gao He did come forward to promise those people, and they all stopped and dispersed temporarily. But I never expected that as soon as the group of people left, more than a dozen old people came to beat drums at the gate of the house to express their grievances for Xie Chi. ”

"What's this?"

"Do you remember when you asked that little second in the inn outside Jin'an City about the Shuiyang Gang beating a young man to death?"

Meng Zhou coughed and said, "If you have something to say, say it directly." ”

"Among the dozen or so old people is the young man's mother, I heard that the old man has such a son, since his son died, she has no one to rely on, and her life is getting harder and harder day by day."

Meng Zhou said tentatively: "Could it be that Xie Chi helped her?" ”

"That's right, it's just that Xie Chi hasn't appeared in person in the past few years, he sent the guards around him to secretly help these people, and now that Xie Chi is in prison, the guards around him will tell the truth to these lonely old people, so there is this unexpected situation."

"Xie Chi, this is to overturn Liu Yi's reputation for him over the years." Meng Zhou said and knocked on the table and said, "If I guess correctly, the next step, I'm afraid that this Xie Chi will return his body in the other way."

In the mansion, Gao and Tou have to call these old people broken, and they look weak one by one on weekdays, but at this time they are full of posture.

"Your Excellency."

Gao He: "What's the matter?" ”

The official muttered in Gao He's ear, and Gao He instantly frowned: "What are the two of them doing at this time?" ”

"It is said that there is a major matter of someone's life that is at stake, and I want to report it to my lord."

Gao He sighed, "Look at those people outside the mansion, don't make any changes." ”

"Yes."

As soon as Gao He came out of the side door, the two people in the courtyard instantly knelt in front of Gao He and said, "Please, my lord, save the grass man." ”

"What's going on?"

One of them said: "This morning, Liu Er's family first forcibly took away the master, and then sent someone to take away the master's wife and children. ”

Gao He looked at the other person: "Could it be that your master has also been taken away." ”

The man said urgently: "Right now, not only the masters of the grass people, but all the masters of the dark spots of the Shui Yang Gang have been detained by Liu Er's family. The man said and cried: "My lord, you want to save the savior, he was threatened by Liu Er's family at that time to write a complaint, who knows that now Liu Er's family repents, want, to kill people and kill people." ”

Gao He listened to it and sighed in his heart, "This and this." ”

"Please, please, savior."

Gao He shook off the two of them in annoyance, and made a general decision: "I will send someone myself, and you two will lead the way to find the women and children who were detained by Liu Yi first." As for Liu Yi, I will go in person. ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

At the end of the morning, in the guest room of the Shuiyang Gang, Liu Yi poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Gao He, and said, "I heard that Lord Gao is busy with affairs, how can you have time to come to me today." ”

"Liu Er is in charge, are you in too much of a hurry to do some things?"

Liu Yi glanced at Gao He and said, "Didn't I already help the adults settle those wild people?" As for the dozen or so old, weak, sick and disabled, if they don't become a climate, the tall adults don't have to take it to heart. When the time comes, take some money, and the matter will naturally be silent. ”

Gao He frowned and said, "What's the matter with those dark spots?" ”

"This is the housework of the Poplar Gang, so I don't have to worry about it."

Gao He put down the cup heavily and said, "Housework!" What kind of housework makes you mess up..."

"Your Excellency."

The official whispered a few words in Gao He's ear, and Gao He's expression changed.

"Liu Er is in charge, it turns out that the solution you said is to kill people and kill people."

Liu Yi frowned and said, "Why did Lord Gao say this." ”

Gao He stood up and said, "It will be clear that Liu Er will go back to the yamen with me." ”

The Shuiyang Gang secretly ordered several people to retract their confessions, the investigation evidence sent by Zhao Hou from Linshui County, more and more people put pressure, and Xie Chi said to him before, so that Gao He had to detain Liu Yi to calm the anger of the public.

The prison is not seen all year round, it is cold and damp, and all kinds of smells are mixed, which makes people feel a chill on their bodies as soon as they step in.

"Get in."

Hearing this, Xie Chi opened his eyes and met Liu Yi's resentful eyes.

"Thank you." Liu Yi gritted his teeth and said in a vain attempt to rush through the jailer and pounce on Xie Chi's prison door.

"Be honest and go in." The two jailers said and kicked Liu Yi the leg bone. Liu Yi fell to the ground with a muffled snort.

The jailer gradually walked away, and Liu Yicai slowly got up and looked at Xie Chi, who was safe.

"Liu Er is in charge, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Liu Yi couldn't help but say bitterly: "I underestimated you." ”

"It's you who overestimate yourself."

"What do you have to be proud of, you are not in this prison like me now."

Xie Chi smiled and said, "It's true, but it's worth it to wait for you." ”

Liu Yi's expression changed, and he stabilized his mind and said: "Speaking of waiting, you really suffered a lot of humiliation from your crotch back then, and you forgot about it so quickly." ”

Xie Chi said slowly in a deep voice: "How could it be, I remember it day and night. ”

He said and reverted to his contemptuous appearance: "So, in order to reduce your sins and have the opportunity to see this world in the next life, I have done a lot of good deeds for you." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi thought of the people of Zhou'anshan and the dozen or so old and weak women and children, as well as the two people of Zhou'anshan who petitioned for the inexplicable tragic death yesterday, and he said in a deep voice: "Those two people were killed by you." ”

Xie Chi asked rhetorically, "That cat, as well as the fire in Min'er's Courtyard, were ordered by you." ”

There was silence in the prison for a while, and both of them were silent.

There was a sound of footsteps in the distance, Xie Chi slowly got up and stood with his hands in his hands, looking at Liu Yi coldly through the railing.

The prison flattered: "Thank you, you're tired, please." ”

"Thank you!" Liu Yi struggled to get up, "No, answer me." ”

"Yes." Xie Chi said with a sarcastic laugh, "So what? ”

People left, the sound was quiet, and Liu Yi said softly for a long time, it's a pity, it's just a tie.

"Big brother." Shen Min'er threw herself into Xie Chi's arms and said softly, "It's good to come back." ”

"I'm still so ignorant of the rules, the sky is white, you have to pay more attention to a girl's family."

Shen Min'er let go of her hand and rubbed her eyes; "Okay, listen to big brother." She glanced at the gate of the government and opened her lips several times without saying a word.

Xie Chi didn't say anything, just waited quietly.

After a while, Shen Min'er retracted her gaze and said with a smile: "Big brother, let's go home." ”

Xie Chi let go of his clenched hand, rubbed Shen Min'er's head, and said loudly, "Okay, go home." ”

After returning to the Shuiyang Gang, after Xie Chi came out of washing, he saw Shen Min'er sitting at the dining table, staring at the table of dishes in a daze, as if she had been sitting for a long time.

"Why didn't you go back?"

"Ahh Shen Min'er suddenly came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "Finally, the eldest brother is back, and I want to have a meal with the eldest brother." ”

Xie Chi sat down, picked up the chopsticks and said, "Something on your mind?" ”

"No, no."

Xie Chi glanced at Shen Min'er and said, "Say, what's the matter?" Seeing that Shen Min'er was silent, Xie Chi took the initiative to say, "I want to intercede for your second brother." ”

"No, it's not." Shen Min'er waved her hand, and said softly: "I know it, it's the second brother, he hurt the eldest brother first regardless of our family friendship." ”

Shen Min'er sighed and said, "I knew that the second brother had done a lot of things wrong over the years, but I always thought that my forbearance and eldest brother's forbearance would make the second brother turn back." But now, he's getting even harder, and he wants to send you on..."

"Forget it, let it go now, come, eat."

Shen Min'er picked up the chopsticks and put them down, bit her lip and made up her mind: "Big brother, I still have one more matter." ”

"Say."

"I know that the second brother is indeed unforgivable this time, but not all of the people under him are guilty, so can the eldest brother reduce the punishment."

Xie Chi wiped his mouth, was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Those people, I will watch it." ”

Shen Min'er got up and shouted urgently: "Big brother, I heard it, you said that you want Atul to deal with it, what do you mean by dealing with it, can I still not know it in the Shuiyang Gang for so many years?" ”

"What are you anxious about?" Xie Chi frowned and said, "If you get married in the future, will you have to be so unseemly and yell?" ”

Xie Chi said and shouted outside, "Atul, come in." ”

"Boss."

"Tell Miss, what do I let you deal with?"

Atul looked at Shen Min'er and said, "The big boss ordered me to pay the second master's subordinates three months' wages and expel them from the Poplar Gang to fend for themselves. ”

Shen Min'er sat down slowly and said, "That's the case." ”

"Or what do you think?" Xie Chi got up as he said and said, "I'm full, you can eat by yourself." ”

"Big brother, don't be angry, I, I'm just in a hurry, I don't mean anything else."

Xie Chi didn't reply, but he didn't rush to leave, Shen Min'er swallowed her saliva and said ruthlessly: "Big brother, can I go to see the second brother tomorrow, I promise, just go and see." ”

Xie Chifo lowered Shen Min'er's hand, sighed and said, "Go ahead, after all, he has also taken care of you for a few years." ”

"Thank you, big brother." Shen Min'er finally had a smile on her face, "I won't eat the rice, big brother, you can eat." She turned and ran out.

"Big boss, does the young lady need to follow her subordinates?"

"No need, you have more important things to do, have all those people under Liu Yi been recovered?"

Atul said: "Yes, it's all back." ”

"Find a maid to watch the young lady, and when she goes out, send those people out too."

"Yes, big boss, over there."

Xie Chi glanced at Atul, sneered and said, "Miss is confused, you are also confused." ”

Atul's body was shocked, and he lowered his head and said, "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”

"Send it farther away."

Dark clouds poured up outside, engulfing the surrounding scenery layer by layer.

"Handle it cleanly."

"Yes."

On the second day, when Liu Yizheng was stunned, he smelled a familiar fragrance, he raised his head incredulously, and saw Shen Min'er outside the prison door dressed in pink, with a hosta diagonally inserted in the green silk, and his face seemed to have been carefully dressed, quite a bit of a delicate lady from a large family. It's not like I'm dressed in red, I don't dress up at all, and I'm carrying a sword everywhere.

Liu Yi said bitterly: "Why are you here?" ”

Shen Min'er squatted down, took out small plates from the box and said, "Didn't we say okay, wait for you to come back and eat together?" ”

Liu Yi suddenly remembered the casual promise that day, and the tip of his nose was sour, "It's not good here, you should go back quickly." ”

Shen Min'er didn't seem to hear it, put the dishes away and didn't care about the dirt on the ground in prison, and sat directly on the ground with her skirt.

"Second brother, these are what you like to eat, I'll give you whatever you want to eat. Forget it, you can try this, this is the most labor-intensive, how about it, is it delicious? ”

“… What's wrong with your hand? ”

Shen Min'er grabbed her hand and waved her arm indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just a scrape when I practiced the sword." ”

Liu Yi said: "You, what's the use of wearing this dress?" As soon as he spoke, his actions were not yet revealed. ”

Shen Min'er opened her arms and said with a smile: "Then the second brother said that I look good in this today?" ”

Liu Yi did not hesitate, "It's good-looking, it's good-looking." ”

"This was given to me by my second brother on my birthday last year, and this hairpin was also brought to me when you went out on an errand, I went to the pawnshop to ask, and it was worth a lot of silver." Shen Min'er said that the smile in her eyes dissipated, and she slowed down her voice and said, "Second brother, next month is my birthday." ”

Liu Yi lowered his head and tried his best to suppress the bitterness and said, "You go back." ”

"Second brother, why did we come to this point?"

"I don't have anything to say."

Shen Min'er got up slowly, "I thought we were a family. ”

"It's not."

"What did you say?"

Liu Yi said: "I have never regarded you as family, whether you are or thank you, if it is me who is standing outside today..."

"How are you?" Shen Min'er smiled bitterly and said, "Second brother, you always let me read less of those words of love and hatred, and now you have to be wronged, let me feel better?" ”

Shen Min'er said and sighed: "I know, how could I not know that the second brother is good to me." ”

Liu Yi was stunned, those wild cats and fires were the lies I ordered to do, and suddenly he couldn't say it.

"Second brother." Shen Min'er knelt on the ground as she spoke, raised her hand and saluted respectfully.

"Min'er, you."

"Second brother, thank you for your hard work teaching Min'er over the years." Shen Min'er rubbed her eyes, just like the eyebrows and eyes that smiled with him on weekdays: "Don't worry, although those stinky men who don't know how to lift me always take me very well, I will definitely meet more suitable people in the future to prevaricate and perfunctory me, but what they say is not nonsense, Min'er will definitely find a good man to marry him in the future, and then be happy for the rest of his life." ”

Liu Yi reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

"Second brother, then I'll go."

Liu Yi lowered his hand, and his voice was low to the dust.

"Okay."

Outside the prison, the sun was hanging high, and the piercing eyes hurt.
