Xu Han looked at Xu Zhao with some surprise, the two of them have never been very close, and they have no intersection, but today Xu Han will come to the dock to greet him?

She raised her eyebrows, watched him get closer and closer, and called out faintly, "Second brother." ”

Xu Zhao's heart was also churning at the moment, he endured it, and finally said, "The third brother has worked hard outside, and he looks darker and thinner." ”

Such an attitude that was very different from the previous day made Xu Hanxin can't help but raise it.

Originally, the news received today had already made Xu Han a little overwhelmed, and he was in a hurry to go to the palace to resume his life, so naturally he didn't have much time to chat with Xu Zhao.

She instructed Guo Xun a few times, and didn't ask Xu Zhao about the purpose of coming to the dock, and turned around to walk towards Xiao Xun.

Xu Zhao stopped her behind her, "Third brother, stay." ”

Xu Han turned around and looked at him with a frown, if she wants to say that she, the second brother, is really good-looking, but she doesn't like it very much.

I only heard Xu Zhao say calmly,

"Father is waiting for you in the palace, after the matter, please go back to the palace first."

Will Xu Zhao run away on this matter? Xu Han was a little surprised, but still nodded and said, "Please also ask the second brother to go back and tell my father, I will go back to the house after the matter is done." ”

Xu Zhao stepped forward and pulled Xu Han aside, and said in a low voice, "The emperor's purpose in sending you to Jiangnan this time is not simple, so you must be careful when you deal with it." ”

He glanced at the direction of Xiao Wei's side, his tone was a little serious, and he held Xu Han's hand and didn't let go, "If it doesn't work, you can push the matter on the prince of Chengen." ”

It seems that Xu Zhao has also put a lot of effort into the capital during this time, and he even knows this.

Xu Han looked at him straightly, and suddenly smiled, "What are you talking about, second brother?" I don't know what you want me to push on Xiao Shizi? ”

"Second brother, is this trying to trap me in unkindness?"

Xu Zhao sighed softly, "Don't be willful, third brother, I won't harm you, this trip to Jiangnan is really not as simple as you think!" ”

"Just do as I say."

Xu Han looked at Xu Zhao amusedly, and said sarcastically, "You won't harm me?" Have you done less harm over the years? I think you're the one who hurts me the most. ”

She gently pushed Xu Zhao's hand away and looked at him indifferently.

"Xu Han!" Xu Zhao called her name in a low voice, a little unspeakable, and a little unnatural, coughed lightly, and said,

"Once upon a time, as long as you believe in me, I will never hurt you in the future, on the contrary, I will protect you."

"If I had known you...... Forget it, you have to trust me that I won't hurt you anyway. ”

"Now that my father is sick in bed, I am my brother, and I have a duty to protect you."

Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, oh, this person already knows about her identity.

However, although she didn't know why her mother quarreled, it must be a big thing to be able to get to and leave this step, Xu Zhao has been in the house, and it is not strange to know something, just looking at Xu Zhao with a smile,

"Didn't you also be a brother in the past, didn't you keep stumbling on me?"

Xu Zhao was stunned, this sister ...... He took a deep breath and said with some depression, "I thought your brother was your brother at that time, but now I know that you are not, so naturally it is different." ”

"The girl should be pampered like Yu Fei, if I had known, I would definitely not be like this."

Since his mother and father quarreled and left the house, everything he can handle in the house has been handled.

Even Xu Ye told him many times that he was not allowed to show Xu Han's face again.

Even the mother-in-law of Zhuangzi outside the city, he secretly took care of it.

He raised his hand and gently rubbed it on the top of Xu Han's head, and said softly,

"You must listen to me, it will not hurt you." He said very seriously, and slowly withdrew his hand in Xu Han's ghost-like eyes.

"You are indeed very smart, but you are still too tender for those intrigues in the officialdom, so if you have any trouble, tell me, and I will help you solve it."

Xu Han agrees with this, she seems to be born with the temperament of the Huo family in her bones, and she is really not good at intrigue, otherwise she would not have spent three years in her previous life before finding the real culprit.

Just like she knew that Commander Ma and Xu Ge had a problem, but she still didn't know how to deal with them for a while.

She said lightly, "Then thank the second brother first." ”

The sky was dark and could not be delayed any longer, so she said goodbye to Xu Zhao and said a few words to Guo Xun, and then went to the palace with Xiao Xun to see the emperor.

Because after getting the account book of the Ma Governor's Mansion, together with the account book of the Li County Order of Wu County, it was sent to the capital through the channel of the dark place of Jinyiwei.

Although the account book they got was important, there was no personal payment from the person behind the scenes, so there was a chance that the person would drag a few cushions out to deal with it.

However, the official silver was sent north by water, and it involved the gangs in the rivers and lakes, no matter whether it can shake the people behind the scenes, next, Jiangnan will usher in a cleanup.

This will Xu Han and Xiao Wei sit in the carriage and talk about it.

Xiao Wei leaned on the carriage,

"Jiangnan officialdom should be punished, the prefect of Ma can call the ship, and get the documents of the Caoyun Yamen, the Caoyun Division in the capital must be inseparable."

"But these will not be under our control in the future, the emperor has come to this point, he must be cautious, Hanhan, when I see Your Majesty later, you should say less, let me talk about it."

Xu Han sat opposite Xiao Wei, was silent for three breaths, and then slowly sat down beside Xiao Wei.

"You want me to push everything on you? Didn't we say okay, there is a risk to bear together? Besides, I acted on the orders and pushed it to you, and I am not the same as a disadvantage? ”

"It's better for me to tell Your Majesty honestly, even if Your Majesty doesn't protect me, you can find someone to save me."

She smiled and teased, "If I go to the prison, you can still find someone to protect me, but once you go in, I can't save you because of my words." ”

Xiao Wei stared at her intently, and swallowed it in his throat for a long time.

After crossing Zhengyang Street, they were about to arrive at the imperial city, when suddenly the carriage jolted, and then they heard a collision, and Xu Han's carriage stopped.

Xu Han was startled, quietly carried, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The coachman who was driving the car outside was dressed as Jinyiwei, usually Jinyiwei has always been majestic, and when he saw that the car was hit, the carriage on the opposite side didn't even apologize, but he was like a person who had nothing to do, and immediately shouted,

"Did you go on a rampage, hit our wagon, and leave without saying hello?"

The coachman was stunned, but he didn't expect that there were still people in the capital who shouted at him like this, and saw that the carriage was just an ordinary carriage, and the people who drove the carriage were also ordinary clothes, so he suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth arrogantly, and said disdainfully,

"Isn't that nothing? Besides, even if your car is damaged, our Yongyi Marquis Mansion can afford to pay for it. ”

Yongyi Marquis Mansion, the outer home of the three princes and the five princes, and the maiden home of Concubine Hui.

The title of this marquis was rewarded by the emperor after Concubine Hui gave birth to two sons in a row.

Although it is said that it depends on women to take the position, the Yongyi Marquis Mansion is very good at monopolizing, and the family affairs of several children in the mansion are excellent.

Today's Mrs. Yongyi Hou Shizi is the daughter of the commander of Jinwu Weima.

In the carriage, Yongyi Hou Shizi's wife, Ma Shi, was leaning on the chair cushion and thinking that she did not belong.

She just came out of the palace and saw Concubine Yu and Concubine Hui, just to ask her uncle Ma Zhifu for intercession.

Concubine Yu was okay there, but Concubine Hui told her a meal, letting her remember that she was now the wife of the prince of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, and not only worry about her mother's family.

But she didn't want to think about it, why did her uncle be greedy for so much silver, and where did the silver end up, didn't Concubine Hui know at all?

Thinking of Concubine Hui's mean face, Ma's heart was troubled.

She was in a bad mood, the car stopped, and someone wanted to make trouble, so she knocked on the carriage, her tone was not good, and she ordered,

"Ask them how much money they want, and ask for it at the gate of the house."

When the coachman of the Marquis of Yongyi heard this, he was even more arrogant, and sneered triumphantly,

"Which poor sour man from the countryside just saw that the master of our Yongyi Marquis Mansion was soft and talkative, and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail a few dollars to spend?"

"Don't open your eyes to take a good look, our Hou Mansion is not an ordinary Hou Mansion, not to mention that our lord and many court officials are called brothers, that is, our Hou Mansion is the third prince, the fifth prince's foreign family, how many heads do you dare to provoke our mansion?"

Everyone thought that Xu Han's car was an ordinary person, and the people on the road were kind-hearted and persuaded the Jinyi guard who was driving the car,

"You guys go quickly, if you are hit, you will consider yourself unlucky, as long as the people in the car are not injured, it is a blessing."

"The Marquis of Yongyi Mansion is very arrogant, and no one dares to do anything to them under the guise of the prince's foreign family. You will be dumb and lose it. ”

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said this, the Jinyi guard who drove the car was even more angry.

In order to catch the water bandits, they were born and died, and these noblewomen in the capital only knew pleasure.

Xiao Wei smiled lazily, as if he was the suave prince on weekdays,

"Lao Tzu has eaten everything in his life, but he doesn't suffer losses, and they all say that the third prince is a virtuous corporal, with a gentle temper and a knowledgeable virtuous king."

"Tut, I didn't expect the foreign family to be so ......"

"Come to think of it, I'm going to hurt your three princes, and don't say anything."

So saying, he jumped out of the carriage, and went forward to pull the coachman down, and with a turn of his finger the man fell to the ground like a wheel.

As soon as Xiao Wei heard in the car that it was the carriage of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, the coachman was still so disrespectful, but he didn't expect the name of the third prince to be good, but it was just an empty Houfu, and even a subordinate was like a dog, and he hit someone else's carriage on the street and scolded others?

Sure enough, he has been absent from the capital for a long time, so there is no one to teach these people a lesson?

Although it was dark, there were still a lot of people coming and going on the street, and when they heard the excitement here, they all gathered around at once.

The coachman fell from the carriage and lay on the ground, and then a richly dressed man got out of the carriage and commanded those who were by,

"Give him a big mouth, and this son can only stop when he says stop."

waited until Jin Yiwei greeted more than a dozen big mouths on the coachman's face before shouting to stop, while saying indifferently and casually,

"If you want to come to the Yongyi Marquis Mansion from top to bottom, you don't rinse your mouth before you spray feces, and this prince will personally help you wash your mouth and teach you to be a good person."

The coachman's face was red and swollen at a visible rate, and it took a moment before he coughed and spat out a few broken teeth from his mouth.

Everyone who watched the excitement gasped, and someone recognized that it was the prince of the Chengen Mansion, and suddenly lost his voice,

"It turned out to be the prince of Cheng'en, and this coachman actually scolded people for being poor and sour, and now he kicked the iron plate."

Not to mention that there is the eldest princess of Shuyang in the Chengen Mansion, even if there is none, the family is also a first-class mansion, which is much more noble than the third-class marquis of Yongyi, who has a name.

Ma Shi in the carriage was already upset, this would be her own coachman was beaten half to death, she didn't pay attention to her own subordinates who were disrespectful, she just thought that she had met the ruffian hooligan who came to make trouble, she just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, so she opened a little curtain, reached over and pulled the horsewhip, and whipped the horse.

As soon as the horse was in pain, he ran forward.

The front of the carriage was full of people watching the excitement, but they didn't expect the carriage to suddenly move, and those who stood close were immediately kicked to the ground by the horses' hooves.

Suddenly, screams and curses erupted on the street, and the scene suddenly became out of control, and Ma actually slapped the horse a few times in a panic.

The horse stood up uncontrollably, and began to gallop.

At night in the capital, there are stalls and vendors who do night markets, and horses are rampaging through the streets, and I don't know how many tables, benches and pedestrians will be knocked over. There was chaos in the streets.

All this happened in just a few breaths, and no one expected that the woman in the car would be so stupid that she would whip the horse on the street, which was not only a joke with her own life, but also did not take other people's lives seriously.

Xu Han was in the car, and when he saw such a situation, he knew that if he didn't stop it, he would hurt a lot of people, so he jumped out of the carriage, quickly ran to a silk shop on the side of the road, took a piece of cloth, grabbed one end firmly in his hand, and threw the other end out, calling not Xiao Wei's name, but the name of the brocade guard, "Zhou Ming, catch it." ”

She didn't call Xiao Wei together, because in the eyes of the world, the prince of Chengen may have learned a few tricks of fist embroidery with the personal guard of the eldest princess of Shuyang, but those are just shows, and it is still very reluctant to do such difficult actions.

Since Xiao Wei didn't want to show it, then she wouldn't betray him recklessly in front of others.

Xiao Wei knew the danger at the moment, although Xu Han didn't ask him to step forward, he still secretly praised Han Han for being astute in his heart, and watched Zhou Ming and Xu Han reluctantly make a wall together.

After galloping some distance, the horse turned around and galloped in this direction with the force of thunder, and at last slowed down in front of the rough cloth barricade.

The horses were panting and whirling in place.

After half a ring, a hand stretched out in the carriage, and a bleak face was revealed, and it took a long time to wave his hand and call weakly, "Help......

When such a big thing happened on the street, Jing Zhaoyin and the people in the patrol battalion naturally received the news and sent people to understand the situation.

After learning that it was the carriage of the Marquis of Yongyi who hit the carriage of the prince of Chengen, he was blocked, and he did not repent, and tried to escape, but as a result, the interface was messed up, and several people were injured.

Ma finally climbed out of the carriage with the help of the maid, and in the face of the accusations of the onlookers, his heart and liver ached, so he pointed at Xiao Wei and Xu Han angrily and anxiously, and said angrily,

"They did it first, and I was afraid of being bullied, so I was ready to hide."

Xu Han looked at the Ma family in front of him, and sneered in his heart, this woman once had a marriage contract with the Huo family, but before the defeat of Limen Pass happened, she was clamoring to dissolve the marriage contract, and it turned out that she finally married to the Yongyi Marquis Mansion as the wife of the prince.

She guarded Xiao Wei in front of her and said coldly,

"What happened to our first hand? Your family is full of nonsense, scolding us for being poor and sour in the countryside, and saying what to take advantage of the opportunity to spend money. ”

"Since Mrs. Shizi doesn't know how to teach people, help you teach a lesson, don't you thank us but blame us?"

"Now it's even more back-to-back, trying to put the blame on us."

"I really didn't expect that the dignified Marquis Mansion would be so rampant, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, is there any royal law?"

There was an uproar among the people watching the excitement next to him, and Ma opened his mouth.

Xiao Wei stood behind Xu Han, concentrating on enjoying Xu Han's guards, enjoying enough, so he stepped forward and deliberately said seriously,

"Little prince, Zhenbei Wangfu is not poor, we are not poor, so there is no need to worry about the poor acid of a Hou Mansion.

That's just a loss of identity, and when we encounter such a situation in the future, we should not be reckless, report to the government, so as not to hurt our mouths. “

This is clearly disgusted to talk dirty to the people of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion.

The people on the side were in an uproar again, and the previous Chengen Gongshi ordered his subordinates to beat the coachman of other people's houses was crisp and loud, but now it turned out to be a dirty mouth.

How can the more you listen to this, the more you respond to it?

The patrol battalion and Jing Zhaoyin's people are all human beings, otherwise they would not be able to manage the security of the capital well, so they naturally heard the reason for this.

Neither side is a person to mess with.

The Yongyi Marquis Mansion is escorted by the three princes and the five princes, while on the other side are the prince of Cheng'en, who has just returned from Jiangnan, and the little prince of Zhenbei.

None of them are simple people with no background.

However, they are also very fair, counting the number of injured and the homeopathy of the vendors, as soon as the leaders on both sides are combined, they respectfully hand the counted courage to Ma's, with a sincere smile on their faces,

"Can Mrs. Shizi be injured? Why don't you send someone to send you home? And by the way, the medical expenses and compensation of these people are taken together? ”

Yongyi Hou Shizi's wife Ma Shi took a deep breath and looked at the two young people in front of her, both of whom were brilliant people.

I don't know how many ladies in the capital are more exquisite, and compare them to them.

In contrast, the wife of the prince, her clothes are wrinkled, because of the wild running of the carriage, this will be a makeup retreat, hair bun is scattered, and it is an unprecedented embarrassment.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Ma inevitably remembered the boy of the Huo family who had been married to him at the beginning.

Back then, she disliked that the men of the Huo family were going to the battlefield, which was very dangerous, and the military generals were always much more rude than civilian officials, so they refused to marry.

even took a fancy to the son of Yongyi Hou at that time and married him.

At that time, she actually felt a little guilty in her heart, after all, the Huo family was also good, not to mention that although the person who was married to her was not handsome, he was also heroic and masculine.

It's just that when she passed by her father's study once, she heard her father and people say that the Huo family was about to end.

She was originally unhappy, but she suddenly came up with countless reasons, and even forced her father to die to let her father go and quit the Huo family.

Her father couldn't resist her, so he went to Huo's house apologetically, and successfully returned her marriage.

Sure enough, what happened later made her feel that she was too wise, the men of the Huo family died on the battlefield, and the female dependents committed suicide and went to Huangquan together.

She told herself more than once that the decision was no longer the right one.

The Huo family boy is not the lover in her mind at all, she wants a decent identity and the envy of others.

Therefore, she married the prince of the Marquis of Yongyi.

Later, the daughter of the Huo family went to Huangquan, which made Ma even more convinced that his decision was correct.

If her life is smooth sailing, it will be fine, but a year later, her husband, who was originally polite and self-conscious, showed his original face.

Not only does he not seek advancement, but he even loves to entangle with all kinds of lowly women, and even accepts Qing officials into the house.

A man in his thirties, who doesn't know anything about housework, is called reading, but he hangs out with goblins in the house all day long.

However, the mother-in-law felt that her son was knowledgeable, and felt that His Majesty had wronged him by giving him the title of a marquis, so she always let herself be supervised on the side, and her husband was not motivated, so she said that she was the daughter of a military general, and she was vulgar.

The words she used to use on the Huo family were all used on herself.

Every time Ma Shi faces this, he doesn't know whether he should regret or rejoice, if he married into the Huo family back then, maybe he would be dead by now, but he doesn't have to face these smoky things.

The faint glance of the little prince in Zhenbei made Ma feel more uncomfortable than the scolding of the onlookers.

She pulled the clothes on her body, and glanced at Xu Han standing beside Xiao Wei from time to time, and for no reason felt that the smile in the corner of the little prince's eyes was a mockery of herself.

When Xu Han saw Ma, she inevitably thought of her grief for the male in the family when the gravel gate was closed, she slowly leaned down with a cold expression, looked at Ma and sneered,

"Mrs. Shizi, Xiao Wang's temperament is not very good, you said that you want to take a few dollars to spend for us, then go back and prepare 100,000 taels of silver, otherwise, today's things will not be good."

"Because Xiao Wang suspects that you hit our carriage on purpose, after all, many people in Beijing know that Xiao Wang escorted prisoners back to Beijing from Jiangnan."

She touched her chin and said,

"Isn't that the prefect of Huaiyang your uncle?"

She struck with both palms, "That's right, Madame, you want to rescue your uncle, so you deliberately hit our carriage and caused a startled horse, if Xiao Wang didn't have the wit to stop the startled horse just now." ”

"Presumably, this street is already a Shura field now, so it's convenient for you to hijack the prisoner car, isn't it?"

Ma couldn't get up for half a day, but he felt that not only his forehead hurt, but also the bones on his body were broken in several places, and he was in pain all over his body.

After hearing this, his face turned red with anger, "Little prince, you can't talk nonsense......"

Xiao Wei also leaned over like Xu Han and said,

"Who are you talking nonsense? If you think we're talking nonsense, why don't you send you to the palace gate now and let you knock on the Dengwen drum yourself?" ”

If you want to beat the drum, you must first receive a killing stick, and then you have to roll the nail board, from the emperor's relatives to the common people, without discrimination.

Ma didn't expect it to be just an accident, he actually encountered a ruthless and stunning, not acting according to common sense at all, two big men, facing a woman's family, they didn't even say anything about it!

even asked her to pay 100,000 taels of silver, and she still held the handle, if she was really sent to beat the drum, this life would be over.

She is not sad at all about implicating the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, but her mother's family has already lost her sacred heart because of her uncle's matter, if she implicates her mother's family again, what is the difference between the Ma family's fate and the Huo family's at that time?

The patrol battalion and Jing Zhaoyin's people on the side could see it clearly from the side, these two lords didn't want to let go of this prince and lady of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion.

The two sang and harmonized, not only pulling the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, the Ma family, and even the three princes into the water.

Although I don't know why the two of them are doing this, they just came to maintain order, especially Jing Zhaoyin's people, when Xu Han and Lord Fu Yin solved Xu Dingtai's case together, Lord Fu Yin was full of praise.

Originally, they didn't have anything to do, and they were more willing to watch the play on the side, and when Xu Han and they felt that it was enough, they sent someone to send the Ma family back to the Yongyi Hou Mansion, and informed the Hou Mansion of the damaged finances and the silver taels that needed to be compensated.

After sending away the patrol battalion and Jing Zhaoyin's people, and evacuating the onlookers, Xiao Xiao turned around and glanced at the corner of the second floor of the restaurant behind him, where a gray-clothed servant was originally standing, but now it is gone.

The corner of his mouth snorted coldly, turned around and got into the carriage with Xu Han, and headed towards the palace.
