After listening to his mother's story about Ye Ruliu, Shi Lang stood in front of his mother in a daze, and after a while, he said to his mother: "Mother, in fact, I have had a one-sided relationship with Ye Ruliu, and after this relationship, my son has a good impression of her." I felt that she felt the same way about me. ”

Under the questioning of his mother, Shi Lang told in detail how he and Ye Ruliu met.

"You son of a, a good daughter-in-law, no, I let you be arrested before I passed the door. What's the matter, is the next step to be escorted to the capital to ask for a knife? You...... You're mad at me! I don't have a son like you! After listening to Shi Lang's story, Shi Lang's mother was so angry that her hands trembled.

"Mother, my son is also acting impartially, and he can't help himself."

"I don't care. Anyway, I'll recognize this daughter-in-law. ”

"Yes...... She did break the law of the court, and her son couldn't save her from the same crime, right? ”

"How could my mother let you do something illegal? Child, my mother just reminds you that you must do things worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, the so-called people are doing it, and the sky is watching. ”

"Mother, did my son do something wrong?" Seeing his mother's angry look, Shi Lang said hesitantly.

Shi Lang's mother did not answer her son's words directly, and he led Shi Lang into the back of the house. In the middle of the room, against the north wall, there is a table dedicated to the ancestors' spiritual seats, and on the table is the spiritual seat of Shi Lang's father. Shi Lang's mother asked Shi Lang to kneel at the table, and then said, "Child, your father has been a captain of the Jinyi Guard all his life, although he has not mixed with high-ranking officials, and he has not brought any glory and wealth to his mother. But my mother has always been glad that you have such a father. You know why? Although for the entire team of Jinyiwei, most of them are ruthless, cold-blooded and ruthless executioners. But your father is an exception, he has adhered to the creed of "sincerity is the way, benevolence is virtue" all his life, and never kills, kills by mistake, or kills anyone. It can be said that your father has never done a bad thing in his life! Son, do you know that on the public side, Miss Ye organized the Salt Gang to fight against the Japanese Invaders, sharing worries for the country and seeking benefits for the people; On the private side, people are your wife and my savior, and they are also your savior. Your arrest and imprisonment of Miss Ye is really disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust! The old man was emotionally charged at the end.

"Mother...... I know it's wrong! Shi Lang crouched in front of his father's spiritual seat, and all the guilt came to his heart, to his father, to his mother, and to Ye Ruliu. He couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Kid! You know it's wrong, and my mother is very relieved. But it depends on what you are going to do next. Mother knows that people in the government are involuntary in many cases. But isn't there a workaround for everything? In the matter of how to deal with Ye Ruliu, my mother will not put any pressure on you. Mother just hopes that you can follow your true heart, so as not to do things that you regret too late. Shi Lang's mother stroked Shi Lang's head and said.

"Mother, don't worry, my son knows what to do!" Shi Lang stayed at home with his mother for a day, and the next day, he hurried back to Hangzhou.

In the prison of the governor of Zhejiang, Ye Ruliu sat alone in a corner of the cell, clasped his hands and knees, and looked at the other corner of the cell in a daze. In these days of imprisonment, two different images alternated in Ye Ruliu's mind from time to time, one was a young man with elegant manners in Bailu Mountain, and the other was a brocade-clothed Wei Qianhu riding on a tall horse with a majestic expression. She tried again and again to overlap the two images, but could not do anything.

"This little girl is pretty too!" Guarding Ye Ruliu were two jailers, one fat and one thin, and the two looked at Ye Ruliu in the cell and muttered quietly.

"It's a beautiful fart, it's not like you have to go to the capital, and then pull it to the entrance of the vegetable market to give a 'click'!" The thin jailer slashed with his hands as he spoke.

"You said that such a beauty 'clicked' in vain, isn't it a pity!" The fat jailer glanced at Ye Ruliu in the cell and smacked his mouth.

"Then there is no way, who let her violate the king's law."

"Anyway, I'm going to be escorted to the capital, why don't we try it tonight...... Hey! The fat jailer brought his mouth closer to his companion and muttered.

"You want to find death, with this woman's skills, several big men can't get close. It's up to us two ......," the thin jailer shook his head.

"I secretly prepared this ......," the fat jailer pulled out a small packet of powdered medicine from his arms. Later, just put it in her meal, hehe, she'll have to let our brothers ...... obediently," said the fat jailer, making an extremely lewd gesture.

"Will this work?" The skinny jailer was a little tempted.

"See." The fat jailer said with confidence.

As soon as the fat jailer finished speaking, the food delivery was really here. He took the initiative to take the food box containing the food, sent the jailer who delivered the food away, and then secretly sprinkled the small packet of medicinal powder into the food.

"It's time to eat!" The fat jailer called Ye Ruliu up and handed the food through the iron bars of the cell.

In the two days that she was locked up in the cell, Ye Ruliu didn't think about too many other things except Shi Lang. From the moment she took the initiative to stand up and turn herself in, she had the idea of dying. The food in prison wasn't very tasty, but she didn't want to be a starving ghost and eat whatever she wanted.

After Ye Ruliu finished eating, she handed the empty bowl to the jailer from the iron bar. As soon as she turned around, she felt that her body was weak and fell to the ground.

"Down, down! Hey...... I'll ...... first."

"No! I'll ...... first."

Impatiently, the two jailers opened the cell door and rushed in.

"The medicine I put in, of course I'll come first!"

"Okay, you come first, but hurry up!"

The fat jailer's saliva was about to flow out, and a pair of squinting eyes looked at the beauty lying in front of him, and pounced on him like a wolf and a tiger.

Ye Ruliu, who fell to the ground, glared angrily at the two perverts in front of her, but her body was so weak that she couldn't move. The fat jailer gave her a drug called "cartilage". This medicine can quickly seal the acupuncture points of the person in a short period of time, and under the effect of the medicine, the human brain is awake, but the body cannot move.

"Plop ......"

"Plop...... Ouch mother! ”

The fat jailer was just about to crouch down and tear off the woman's clothes under him, but his body was kicked out from behind. The skinny jailer was similarly kicked. The two of them lay on the ground and groaned in pain. Shi Lang angrily stood in front of the two jailers, followed by a Jinyi guard captain carrying a food box.

"Thousands of households spare their lives, it's all strange that the little ones are confused for a while!" The fat jailer recognized that the person standing in front of him was Jinyi Wei Qianhu, who had come from the capital to investigate the case, and was immediately frightened, and quickly knelt on the ground with the thin jailer and begged for mercy.

"Get out!" Shi Lang yelled at the two jailers.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" The two jailers quickly escaped.

Shi Lang helped Ye Ru, who was lying on the ground, up, let her body rest on his chest, and then unlocked the acupoint for her. After a while, Ye Ru calmed down.

Shi Lang asked the Jinyi Guard, who was standing aside, to pick up the wine and food in the food box and set them up in a clean open space. Then, he motioned for him to stand guard outside the door. The brocade-clothed guard walked out in understanding.

Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu sat on the ground facing the wine and food that had been arranged. For a moment, neither of them knew where to start.

"You won't be drugged." It was Ye Ruliu who was the first to break the silence, and she said with a little self-deprecation.

Shi Lang lifted the wine jug and filled the wine cups of the two, and then said, "I'm here to thank you." ”

"Thanks? Why? Ye Ruliu looked at Shi Lang puzzled.

"Remember an old man you saved a few days ago?"

“？” Ye Ruliu couldn't think of it for a while.

"The old man almost died by a thief in order to save a young woman with a broken foot, and it was you who arrived in time to save her and carried her home to wait carefully." Shi Lang said gratefully.

"You're talking about...... Aunt Shi! Ye Ruliu remembered.

"Yes!"

"And ...... you and her?"

"I am his son. My name is Shi Lang. ”

"......" After listening to Shi Lang's answer, Ye Ruliu's facial expression was a little complicated, and it was difficult for her to connect the kind-hearted Aunt Shi with Shi Lang, who was a thousand households in Jinyi in front of her.

After being silent for a while, Ye Ruliu said to Shi Lang with a slight sarcasm in her tone: "Aunt Shi has a good son, a good son who is a majestic and powerful person who is a thousand households in Jinyi. ”

Shi Lang didn't care about Ye Ruliu's taunt, he raised his glass at Ye Ruliu. Ye Ruliu hesitated, but still raised her glass. The two drank it all at the same time.

Shi Lang poured the wine to his heart's content.

Ye Ruliu didn't wait for Shi Lang to persuade him to drink, he picked up the wine glass and drank the wine, and said with emotion: "It's really a drama of creation and earthly things!" The young man I met in the mountains that day turned out to be a dignified court, a brocade and a thousand households. After speaking, he smiled bitterly, and a sad look passed over his face.

Ye Ruyu's words just now had actually inadvertently revealed his inner feelings for Shi Lang, but in the face of Shi Lang's special identity and the prospect of his imminent death, she felt a little helpless.

A warmth rose in Shi Lang's heart - the woman in front of him who filled her heart with nostalgia, respect, and guilt seemed to be interested in herself! He looked at Ye Ruliu excitedly and said, "We still have a chance!" ”

"You mean...... We? A hint of hope flashed in Ye Ruliu's eyes.

"Well, we!" Shi Lang nodded solemnly.

Ye Ruliu's face immediately flushed. Although she leads her brothers in the gang to fight and kill on weekdays, and her speech and demeanor are bold and free, she still has the sensitivity of ordinary girls in her heart. She read everything from Shi Lang's fiery eyes.

Ye Ruliu's eyes were full of tears. Looking at each other, the two hands couldn't help but clasp together.

Shi Lang leaned his head close to Ye Ruliu and whispered a few words in Ye Ruliu's ear. Ye Ruliu nodded in understanding.

That night, Shi Lang specially arranged a brocade guard to take care of Ye Ruliu with him.

In the middle of the night, Shi Lang felt a little bored, so he ordered the brocade guard to go outside and get some wine and food to come back.

After a while, the brocade guard returned to his cell with a food box.

"Lord Qianhu, my subordinates will accompany you to have a drink." The brocade guard said as he laid the food and wine on the table.

"In two days, we will take this prisoner and his fellow salt traffickers who are held in other rooms to the capital, and we will take good care of them." Shi Lang pointed to Ye Ruliu in the cell and said to the brocade guard.

"Don't worry, sir. Even if she has three heads and six arms, it will be difficult for her to escape from this Hangzhou prison. Come, my subordinates will give you a drink. ”

Shi Lang raised his wine glass, lightly touched the glass with the brocade guard, and drank the wine.

The brocade guard hurriedly poured Shi Lang full of wine.

At this moment, Ye Ruliu, who was locked in the cell, shouted loudly: "I want to drink water." ”

"Go, pour her a glass of water." Hearing Ye Ruliu's shout, Shi Lang said to the brocade guard.
