"Uncle (Xiao Jien) is not the bloodline of the Xiao family." Xiao Wencai, who was all kinds of ties, recruited this matter with great difficulty.

Gao Xianning looked at him with an embarrassed look, and intuitively felt that this matter might be a bit serious, so he hurriedly wrote a line of words quickly, and then picked up the pen and waited there. Zhang Sheng and Du Erlang were both attracted to attention, staring at Xiao Wencai intently. Only Yao Fang was still thinking about something.

Xiao Wencai shut up for a long time, and finally continued: "Back then, my grandfather was married for several years and had no heirs, and he took a concubine, but he still had no children. The Wang family and the Xiao family are friends and friendship for several generations, and the Wang family already had an eldest son at that time, so they raised the second son to the Xiao family, changed his surname, and named Xiao Jien. Later, my grandfather gave birth to a biological son, who was my father. ”

Gao Xianning suddenly said: "I see, Xiao Jien and Wang Gen are brothers, he is the younger brother of Wang Gen, the former editor of the Hanlin Academy!" When Wang Gen's family was beheaded, should Xiao Jien be filled with grief and anger? ”

Xiao Wencai said: "It should be so." ”

Gao Xianning said in a deep voice: "What else did Xiao Jien do before? Recruit from the truth! ”

Xiao Wencai said helplessly: "Uncle has been in Beijing all the time, and I only entered Beijing during the Yongle period, so I don't know much about him." When I was a teenager, I was in the middle of the township examination, and my family had high hopes for me. My father had some industry in Beijing, so he asked me to go to Beijing to study hard behind closed doors, saying that I was young and would have to strive for the Jinshi and the first place wholeheartedly, and I would have a great future in the future.

In the fifth year of Yongle, I took a general examination and did not pass the examination; I am waiting for next year's Enco to fight again.

During this period, the uncle always said that sooner or later, the affairs of the Wang family would implicate the Xiao family. My father and I were very worried, and I was a little distracted and couldn't devote myself to studying. However, in addition to seeing the Wang family from time to time, he usually just studies in the house. ”

Gao Xianning asked, "You are not involved in anything else?" ”

Xiao Wencai replied: "I probably didn't do anything else." ”

Gao Xianning pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Wang's body is hiding poison, are you instigating her?"

Xiao Wencai looked embarrassed and said, "It's all because of my uncle's instructions." The Wang family knew that the uncle was the bloodline of the Wang family, and also knew that the relationship between the two families of King Xiao was very close, and she was by the side of Yao Fang, the military general of the Jinyi Guard; So the uncle told me that I must repeatedly be reasonable with Wang Xiaoxiao, and if she fails, I will tell her to break it off early, and don't affect the Xiao family! ”

Gao Xianning struggled to write, and at the same time raised his head and asked, "Why did the Wang family risk his life?" Have you promised her that you will avenge the royal family? ”

Xiao Wencai's face became more and more ugly, he was not in the flesh and body pain in the cracks of his fingernails, but as if he had been morally tortured, he shook his head and said: "There has never been such a promise, the first emperor who ordered to behead the Wang family, the former commander of the Jinyi Guard, Ji Gang, are all people who are difficult to shake in the world, how can they take revenge?" However, I did swear an alliance with her, and the winter thunder shook the river to exhaust it......"

Gao Xianning asked again: "Is Xiao Jien in Beijing now?" ”

Xiao Wencai said: "After the Wang family passed away, my uncle went back to Jiangxi. Uncle persuaded my father to go back to my hometown several times, but next year there will be Enko, and my father did not agree, and he didn't want me to give up the exam. So the uncle returned to his hometown by himself. ”

Gao Xianning said: "The ancestral house of the Xiao family? ”

Xiao Wencai shook his head and said: "Uncle used to be in the medicinal herb business, and he has a shop in the county seat of Jishui County, so he should be in the county seat." ”

Gao Xianning put away the confession, went up and untied Xiao Wencai's right arm, stuffed the pen into Xiao Wencai's hand, and ordered: "Write your name and stamp your handprint." ”

After finishing the trivial matters, Gao Xianning called Zhang Sheng and the other three to discuss outside the door. Zhang Sheng and Du Erlang immediately followed, and only Yao Fang was still standing there stunned. Gao Xianning glanced at Yao Fang, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and strode to the eaves.

Gao Xianning said in a deep voice: "Xiao Jien, it is very likely to be 'Ma Gong'!" ”

Zhang Sheng said: "Could Xiao Jien just be one of the same party, and Ma Gong has someone else?" We must be cautious and not let go of the culprit! ”

Gao Xianning glanced at Zhang Sheng and said, "What Commander Zhang said is not completely unreasonable. But the official still thinks that Xiao Jien is 'Ma Gong'! To do such a big secret thing, it really needs some capable comrades; But the matter is too serious, and the less people know about it, the less likely it is to be exposed! Since Xiao Jien is planning this, there is no need to find another mastermind. Therefore, even Xiao Jien's nephew Xiao Wencai did not know the most critical conspiracy, and it was very likely that he was telling the truth. ”

Zhang Sheng asked: "What does Gao Siqing mean, let's go to Jiangxi immediately to arrest Xiao Jien?" ”

"Yes. That's exactly what this official meant! Gao Xianning looked at the two.

Du Erlang hugged his fists and said, "Why don't you play the saint first?" ”

Gao Xianning pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said, "If you can play the Holy Shrine overnight, then it's okay." Let's send someone to the gate of the imperial city, first ask the guards to find the eunuch on duty inside, and then ask the eunuch to find the eunuch Wang Gui, and then ask Wang Gui to enter the palace to report it. ”

The Jinyi Guard Commander and the Beizhen Fu Envoy all agreed with this idea.

Gao Xianning said: "Let's go our separate ways!" Commander Zhang took the confession and went to the imperial city; The officer and General Du continued to interrogate Xiao Wencai, asking him to tell him the exact location of the Xiao family's shop and ancestral house. ”

The two martial artists clasped their fists and said, "Order!" ”

Du Erlang suddenly said again: "Let's send people to Jiangxi for eight hundred miles to arrest people urgently, it's best not to let Xiao Jien get the news in advance." I think it's better to force Xiao Wencai to write a letter first, lying that he met a classmate and wrote poems in the temple outside the city; Send the letter back to the Jingshi Xiao Mansion and stabilize the Xiao family for a while. ”

Gao Xianning approvingly: "General Du has made a lot of progress!" ”

The three of them discussed, Zhang Sheng took the confession and left first, and Gao Xianning and Du Erlang walked back to the wing. At this time, I saw that Yao Fang had moved a stool and sat in front of Xiao Wencai, interrogating.

Yao Fang asked some useless words. Yao Fang's voice was not loud, and he didn't see his anger out of control, his expression was very weird, he seemed to be smiling instead of laughing, crying but not crying, but his face was very red. He asked, "Have you been there?" ”

Xiao Wencai's face twitched slightly: "Before the Wang family met General Yao, I made a private agreement with her for life. What my uncle meant, my uncle said that it is most difficult for a woman to forget the first person who occupies her body......"

Yao Fang said sourly: "I haven't had sex with her yet." ”

Xiao Wencai was stunned and said, "So she didn't lie? You guys...... Don't you live in the same yard? ”

Yao Fang sighed: "She said, she didn't want me to think that she didn't know her innocence and self-respect, and promised me that as long as I was justified in the future, I could do whatever I wanted." I also thought about it, she was born in a scholarly family, her father was a jinshi, and she was a well-read, virtuous and virtuous woman, so I didn't embarrass her. It's not easy for me Yao Fang to ask for a woman? What I want is to stay with her for a long time! ”

The two fell silent.

Gao Xianning took the opportunity to step forward and said, "General Yao will ask later, let the official ask him about the matter first." ”

Yao Fang said coldly: "Didn't Zhang Sheng go to the palace to ask for a decree, I'm afraid that the matter can not be done in an instant!" Gao Siqing didn't get the approval of the saint, and he didn't plan to arrest people immediately, what are you anxious about? ”

Gao Xianning was speechless. What a few people were discussing outside the door just now, Yao Fang seemed to hear it. It seems that Yao Fang is actually very calm, and what she said is quite methodical.

Yao Fang asked Xiao Wencai again: "What have you done?" ”

Xiao Wencai looked embarrassed: "......"

"Say!" Yao Fang scolded coldly, his face full of pain and murderous aura.

Xiao Wencai's face turned pale and said, "What...... I've done everything. I haven't gotten married yet.,Occasionally visit the Qinglou and see a lot.,Capable people have done it.。 ”

Yao Fang said: "Be careful! If you don't move, Lao Tzu will let you go through the punishment again! ”

Xiao Wencai groaned helplessly for a while, and whispered: "Sometimes when we meet, it is between her two menstrual events, I am afraid of getting pregnant, but I have a mouth and tongue, and Gu Dao ......."

"What?" Yao Fang was stunned.

Xiao Wencai said with a look of fear: "Why don't General Yao ask?" In fact, there are some things that the Wang family is unwilling to, so I cried and complained, her soft-heartedness is useful every time. ”

Yao Fang took a deep breath and said, "You mother|mother|, you really have a way!" Don't be afraid, I just want to know the truth, you just have to say it...... Once, she grabbed a lot of medicine to suffer, probably at the end of last year, saying that she was in poor health, what was going on? ”

Xiao Wencai frowned and recalled for a while, and whispered: "We don't see each other every month, and sometimes we don't see each other for a long time. I hadn't seen her for a long time, but unfortunately she was in the middle of menstruation. But I have not been a woman for many days, and it is not easy to see a frightened person, so I finally took the risk, how can I return empty-handed? I cried and moved my hands and feet, and after a while she couldn't bear it anymore, so she ......"

Yao Fang trembled with anger, his fists were clenched, he gasped and said angrily: "When she was menstruating, Lao Tzu didn't even let her touch the cold water, and she was going to do everything possible, I didn't expect you to treat her like this!" ”

Gao Xianning observed Yao Fang's appearance and hurriedly reminded: "Xiao Wen is the witness of the imperial case, and General Yao must know in his heart." ”

After a while, Gao Xianning kindly persuaded again: "Fu Jinghong, the top card of the Drunken Immortal Building, is very beautiful, and he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. This official has played, absolutely the best in the world! She also picks people, and it is difficult for people like one or two to even accompany tea. General Yao wants to try it, and the official will introduce you to it? ”

Yao Fang ignored Gao Xianning's kindness, and he still asked himself: "Why am I so sincere to her, but she is so reserved to me?" Why is it that you are such a swinger, who doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but she has nothing to reserve? No reservations! ”

There was a dead silence in the room, and no one could answer the question.

Yao Fang asked again: "Why is she guarding you like a jade, and you still don't know pity?" ”

Xiao Wencai hurriedly said: "General Yao is angry, I actually never felt that she was my woman...... It is impossible for the Xiao family to approve and allow me to marry the daughter of a sinner, or a woman who was born in the Church Division and once lived in the same room with others. ”

Yao Fang raised her head and sneered for a while, her face was full of sadness, and she said, "You lied to her, you still feel guilty, otherwise how could you worship twice?" ”

Xiao Wencai said: "Everyone has compassion! Zai Xia is not a villain, he is very kind in his heart, and he deceived the Wang family out of helplessness. The last time I worshipped to see her, this time it's because I'm getting married. I went when the gates were closed, thinking that no one would find out, alas! ”

Yao Fang's expression changed suddenly, and she read it with great interest, "Marriage ......"
