In the middle of the night, the huge Jingshi city has been quiet, and only the starry lights are scattered on the night land. The sound of horses' hooves startled the defenders at the city gate, and broke the silence of the moment.

The soldiers hurriedly stood in the middle of the road and stopped.

I saw that there were more than 20 people who came, all of them in bloated green clothes; In this late spring season, it is very strange to wear such a thick one, and there must be a battle armor in the clothes! They also wore black cloaks and hats on their heads; The crowd even wore white masks on their faces, and they looked as scary as ghosts.

Seeing this scene, the defenders directly drew their swords! One of the generals pressed his sword and shouted: "Stop! What for? ”

At present, a man in black said coldly: "The commander of the Jinyi Guard, Zhang Sheng, is ordered to go out of the city." ”

"Seal the letter!" The military commander said.

Zhang Sheng, who was dressed in black, turned over and dismounted, took out a roll of yellow silk and said, "Look clearly!" ”

The defenders followed with both hands, glanced at the jade seal stamped below, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee to salute and said, "Long live the saint!" ”

Zhang Sheng also showed the official documents of the brocade guards and the north division of the imperial mansion. After the defenders verified it, they turned around and shouted, "Open the city gate!" ”

A group of iron horsemen rode straight out of the city gates.

Zhang Sheng has discussed with Gao Xianning, the secretary of Dali Temple, to change horses at the post station, and rush straight to Jishui County, Jiangxi Province for 800 miles, so he only brought more than 20 horses, which is convenient for changing horses at the post station.

When they arrived, they did not have to show their decrees. However, the Beijing division has been heavily guarded recently, and when they go out of the city in the middle of the night with their swords, they will be interrogated repeatedly; In order to save trouble, Zhang Sheng directly opened the city gate with a holy decree.

…… In this investigation of the imperial case, Zhu Gaoxu formulated five people to handle the case, Gao Xianning, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Du Erlang, and Yao Fang, and the people used were mainly the soldiers of the North Division of the former Han Palace. However, Yao Fang has hardly done anything serious recently, and he has not helped him in investigating the case to the point where it has reached this point.

The morning after Zhang Sheng left Beijing overnight, Yao Fang even left the old mansion of the King of Han and did not care about anything at all.

Yao Fang came to the courtyard he had pawned before, and the courtyard was still within the lease period, but there was no one in it anymore. He sat at the doorway of the hall, staring blankly at everything familiar around him.

Sometimes he seems to see the figure of a graceful woman, doing chores around her. He remembered that she was gone, and he burst into tears...... But a moment later, he remembered the woman who had opened up to others! Yao Fang imagined her blushing but willing expression, and imagined her can't help but scream. Yao Fang suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, and she was furious!

He was confused, not knowing whether to miss, to be sad, to be heartbroken, to be resentful, or to be angry......

Yao Fang seemed to see that the entire courtyard was suddenly collapsing and falling, and the whole world was collapsing! He seemed to feel that he too had gone to ashes, and that what had turned to ashes was gradually regrouping in the air.

So Yao Fang has always fantasized that he can't move, because he is still "dust" and is becoming a human again.

From morning to night, Yao Fang still felt that he should not move, so he lay on the eaves in front of the hall all night, and then did not know how to fall asleep.

At noon the next day, Yao Fang woke up, sat up from the ground, and thought about things for a while. He was like a beggar at this time, because he hadn't gone home to take a shower for many days because of the investigation of the case, and yesterday he lay on the ground outside the door for a day and a night, covered with sticky sweat. He walked to a broken wooden basin in the corner of the wall and took a photo, and found that his face was haggard, and when he looked closely, his temples turned white!

Yao Fang walked out of the courtyard, the door was not closed, he ate at a restaurant first, and then went straight to the old mansion of King Han.

At this time, there were only some soldiers of the North Division on duty in the mansion. Yao Fang walked into the inner house and came to the door of the wing where Xiao Wencai was being held, only to see many sergeants standing in the courtyard. Everyone hugged their fists and called him "General Yao" instead of calling him the general flag.

Yao Fang said: "Open the door." ”

One of the generals, surnamed Chen, stepped forward and opened the door of the wing, because Yao Fang had the right to interrogate the relevant figures in the case.

When Yao Fang walked into the wing, he said, "I was going to take this person out and identify an accomplice." Prepare a wagon. ”

Chen, surnamed Chen, said: "I'm afraid this won't work." ”

Yao Fang turned his head to stare at Mr. Chen, and said coldly: "My sister Yao Ji looks like a fairy and is deeply favored by the saint. Do you know these things? In less than a month, my sister was named a concubine and an imperial concubine, isn't that just like playing? If I ask my sister to say a word softly in front of the saint, Chen will always take the credit for this person, I'm afraid don't think about it! ”

General Chen hurriedly accompanied him and said carefully: "General Yao is angry, and the last general has no intention of disobeying you......"

(Ming officers, from low to high, small flags, general flags, try 100 households, 100 households, and put the total.) Chen is always three levels higher than Yao Fang. ）

Yao Fang said: "Less nonsense! If something happens, you just push it on me! I'm not going to do anything to that guy and let him keep his mouth shut,"

After hearing this, General Chen said, "Then let's send a few brothers to follow." ”

"That's a good idea." Yao Fang said.

Everyone carried Xiao Wencai, who was tied up with all kinds of ties, into the carriage and followed Yao Fang out of the house. It was not easy to catch Xiao Wencai, and the night before yesterday, Gao Xianning, the secretary of Dali Temple, presided over the trial and asked in great detail, including the location of the Xiao family's mansion in Beijing. Because of the order not to startle the snake, the soldiers of the North Division did not move the Xiao family for the time being, and only sent a few eyes and ears to keep an eye on the movement.

The group escorted the carriage straight to Xiao's house.

When I arrived at the place, I saw that the mansion was very lively inside and outside, with lights and red cloths hanging everywhere. Yao Fang looked at the carriage and immediately sneered.

After a while, an old man came over, glanced at the carriage surrounded by young men with weapons, and his expression changed. The old man still said with a smiling face: "Are you relatives and friends of the Xiao family, what do you have to do?" ”

Yao Fang opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Wencai is happy today? ”

The old man's brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately smiled and said, "It turns out that you are friends of Childe?" We have something to say. ”

Yao Fang asked again: "Xiao Wencai is not at home?" ”

The old man looked Yao Fang up and down and said, "Our son-in-law met a friend from the same township a few days ago, and said that he went to which temple?" Does this boy know where he is, why hasn't he come back today? The two parents' families have set a good day for today, the gifts have been given, the invitations have been sent, and everything has been prepared, but the son still does not go home, but people are in a hurry......"

Yao Fang nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Xiao Gongzi will be back in a while!" The bride has arrived? ”

The old man nodded hesitantly.

Seeing this, Yao Fang stepped down from the carriage and walked towards the gate, and a Beisi sergeant hurriedly followed. Yao Fang swaggered inside, and many guests cast strange glances.

He went straight to the gatehouse of the inner house inside! Someone immediately came up to stop him, Yao Fang suddenly went crazy, and the whole person pounced, and hit the person in the face with a straight punch. The slave screamed, and the man almost flew upside down. Immediately, there was an uproar in the courtyard.

With a "swish", Yao Fang actually pulled out his knife and shouted angrily, "Who blocks and kills whom!" ”

Yao Fang rushed into the inner house, and soon there were bursts of women's screams around her. After a while, the family with sticks rushed in, and they stared at the knife in Yao Fang's hand and surrounded them from all sides.

Yao Fang suddenly took out the waist card of Jinyiwei and said: "This will be the general banner of Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi, handling the imperial case, who dares to stop it, and the door will be beheaded!" ”

The two of them cautiously put their heads together to look at the waist card, and suddenly everyone didn't dare to come up.

Yao Fang walked around, a large group of people watched from a distance, and after a while, a middle-aged man in a satin brocade robe came over, and was talking about something there. Yao Fang didn't say anything, he quickly found the cave room with red flowers, and when he opened the door, he saw that the bride with a flower cover on her head was sitting alone on the edge of the bed.

Yao Fang turned his head to the sergeant beside him and said, "Bring that guy in and identify it, and the accomplice will hide inside!" ”

The sergeant said helplessly: "The little one has an order!" ”

The brocade-robed man stomped his feet and said, "What kind of grudge does our family have with you, on the day of my Xiao family's big day, you actually came to do nonsense?" The old man has sent someone to report to the official, you are so self-conscious! ”

After a while, a group of military men came in with Xiao Wencai, who was tied up in all sorts of ways. There was a lot of noise inside and outside the courtyard, and it was even more chaotic at this time.

Yao Fang waited for Xiao Wen to be carried into the cave room, turned his head and said, "The brothers are guarding outside, if something happens, just say it's my responsibility!" Suddenly he closed the door and closed the latch.

The bride couldn't sit still, she lifted her head and stared at Yao Fang and Xiao Wencai who were tied on the ground in horror. It looks like the bride is still very beautiful, and she looks like a good family at first glance!

"Woo woo woo ......" Xiao Wencai's eyes widened, but he couldn't speak.

Yao Fang glanced at Xiao Wencai, and while untying his belt, he said to the bride: "He is Xiao Wencai, what he did to the Wang family." I'll do it to you again today. ”

"What's ...... What's the matter? The bride asked in horror.

Yao Fang said calmly: "You'll know in a while." It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I'll teach you; I also learned it from Xiao Wencai. ”

"Help! Help......" The bride, who was stunned there, finally came back to her senses and suddenly shouted loudly.

Yao Fang rushed up, pressed her mouth and said, "Don't shout, it's useless for you to shout and cut your throat, just wait for the general!" ”

…… After a long time, the officials of the government first came, but the people of the North Division did not dare to let the officials enter the inner house. After a while, there was a sound of neat footsteps outside, and the North Division of the Imperial Mansion had transferred all the troops!

Inside and outside the Xiao Mansion, in the face of this shocking change, it has been a big mess.

Gao Xianning, the secretary of Dali Temple, wore a red round-necked official uniform, walked into the door, and looked at a middle-aged man in a brocade robe. The brocade-robed man stepped forward and cried with his fists: "That villain who calls himself a brocade guard is simply lawless......"

Gao Xianning ignored him, turned around and ordered: "Surround the Xiao Mansion, the Xiao family will wait for everyone, and no one can let go!" Someone, arrest this person! ”

At this moment, Xiao Wencai's screaming and lung-splitting scream came from the inner house. Then Yao Fang's laughter also came out, and Yao Fang's voice said: "Only then you have no bane, and there will be no great harm!" ”
