Huang Bingwen was sure that the girl who escaped was not Luo Amin, at this time, he suddenly found that Xu Ling'er came to the noon gate with a group of men and horses, and he was still Xu Ling'er's boss after all, so he asked sharply: "Xu Qianhu, you are so bold, you dare to dance a knife and a gun in front of the noon gate of the Forbidden City, do you want to rebel?" ”

Xu Linger sneered and ordered: "Take Huang Bingwen down for me!" ”

Finding that the situation was wrong, Huang Bingwen hurriedly took a few steps back and was tripped by Cai Dezhong, who fell to the ground. At this time, Jin Yiwei rushed up and arrested him, and a small flag said: "First give Lord Huang a New Year's greeting, the humble position is not even from the seventh grade, because he was ordered to be on an errand and couldn't help himself, Lord Huang, I have wronged you." ”

Huang Bingwen and they all knew each other, nodded helplessly, turned to Xu Ling'er and glared angrily, and asked, "Xu Qianhu, let's not mention the following offenses for the time being, who are you sent by?" Dare to come and open up for the traitor. ”

Xu Ling'er was still too young after all, thinking that she had got their handle, and replied disdainfully: "Lord Huang, Ningbo pirate Chen Yuanhua, criminal officer Cai Dezhong's brother-in-law Wu Xiang, and Xuande Zhenren who absconded from the palace, you know what you have done together in collusion!" ”

After hearing these words, Huang Bingwen's heart was shocked, mistakenly thinking that she had mastered the details, and after thinking about it, she must not admit defeat easily, she must carry it to the end, so she asked tentatively: "Xu Qianhu, please don't spew blood, what evidence do you have?" ”

"I didn't expect it, the two maids Chen Yuanhua was looking for are now in our hands, this is the evidence." Xu Ling'er replied.

Seeing the lively palanquin driver in a big circle, listening to this inexplicable conversation, someone asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"What the hell is going on? Speak up and listen. ”

"Make it clear, so that everyone can judge it."

……

The little flags didn't dare to go too far, and someone whispered: "Lord Huang, let's go, let's go back and talk about it if you have anything to say." ”

Hearing that the two maids were arrested, Huang Bingwen was a little stunned, but he was determined not to give in, so he broke free from detention and stepped forward to reply: "Xu Qianhu, you keep asking what the official is doing, well, the official tells you that I received a secret report that the criminal official Cai Dezhong was plotting against him, so he came to arrest this thief before." You actually framed your official for colluding with pirates, who was instructed by you? What is the intention? ”

Xu Ling'er understood that Jin Yiwei didn't dare to be rude to Huang Bingwen easily, seeing that he was still messing around, he was very anxious, if he didn't completely expose him, he wouldn't be easy to comply, and said sternly: "Lord Huang, I'm afraid you didn't expect that the woman found by Xuande Zhenren and Wu Xiang is fake!" If you're really married to a pirate leader, you're going to die! ”

"Inexplicable! I don't know what you're talking about, just hurry up and collect the troops, if not, hehe, you will bear the consequences! Although Huang Bingwen's tone was hard, he couldn't help but feel a little weak.

Xu Ling'er didn't dare to continue to entangle, and instructed Jinyiwei: "Take him away immediately, and the responsibility will be borne by Wang Zhenfu and me." ”

But Huang Bingwen refused to leave, and Jinyiwei didn't dare to force it, at this moment, the sedan chair drivers suddenly flashed out of a way, and someone shouted loudly: "The old prince of Chengguo has arrived!" ”

Zhu Xizhong and Liu Shouyou heard that there was a disturbance outside the noon gate, so they hurriedly ran out.

Without waiting for Xu Ling'er to finish speaking, Zhu Xizhong showed anger on his face and reprimanded: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, what kind of body is it to be noisy outside the noon gate!" Xu Ling'er, you are young and ignorant, you don't understand the rules, and you can't afford to take care of the holy driver, so don't you step back to this king! ”

"Xu Ling'er, whose order are you?" Liu Shouyou was very angry, after saying this, he turned to look at Huang Bingwen, and then asked: "Where did you get the news about Cai Dezhong's plot?" Why did Xu Ling'er come to arrest you? ”

Because Liu Shouyou didn't know the situation in Nanjing, but Zhu Xizhong knew about it, and now, they were all afraid of shocking the holy driver.

Zhu Xizhong said: "Why don't you hurry up and retreat, come to the yamen tomorrow, and wait for the king's disposal, understand?" ”

So, the little flags released Huang Bingwen, he knew that it would be okay for the time being, so he pleaded guilty to the two commanders, saying that he completely obeyed the command, and fled the noon gate in a hurry.

Xu Ling'er thanked the two chiefs and asked his subordinates to carry Cai Dezhong away, but at this time, he didn't know where Zhu Hui and Wu Lian went? She searched in the crowd for a long time, but she couldn't find it, so she took someone back to Cai's mansion.

At the same time, the Jinyi guards who raided Cai's mansion also got the news, they were no longer stubbornly resistant, Wang Chong controlled the situation here, and when Xu Ling'er sent Cai Dezhong home, he hurriedly sent someone to invite Langzhong.

Lang Zhong gave Cai Dezhong a pulse for a long time, carefully examined his pupils, shook his head and said: "Master Cai has ascended to heaven, hurry up and prepare for the future." ”

At this time, Wang Chong and Xu Ling'er both knew that it was precisely because Wu Xiang made a fake Luo Amin that after he went crazy, Huang Bingwen, Chen Yuanhua and Xuande Zhenren intrigued with each other in order to grab credit, and finally caused this farce.

After arranging for his confidants to take care of Cai's mansion, Wang Chong led people to Wumen to find Zhu Hui and Wu Lian.

At that time, Zhu Hui didn't know who the woman who threw himself in his arms was, and found that Xu Ling'er and Huang Bingwen were tense, and the conflict was about to break out, he wanted to go up to help, so he let Wu Lian go, and suddenly found that the two supreme officers of the Jinyi Guard were coming, so he didn't dare to go forward, but he felt that the woman just now seemed familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, she was a little similar to Wu Xiang, could she be Wu Xiang's sister?

In the past, no one knew that Cai Dezhong's aunt and wife were Wu Xiang's sister or sister? Thinking of this, Zhu Hui didn't say hello, hurriedly got out of the crowd, ran to the street to look for a long time, and finally found Wu Lian on Nanchang Street.

It turned out that after Chen Yuanhua slipped out of Cai's mansion, he wanted to come to Huang Bingwen at noon to see what was going on here? When he saw Wu Lian, he also had a sense of déjà vu, so he remembered Wu Xiang and was taken aback.

So, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is this the Wu Lady of the Cai Mansion?" ”

At this time, Wu Lian was already haggard physically and mentally, and she just ran forward with tears, Chen Yuanhua stopped her and said: "Mrs. Wu, your house has been raided by Jinyi Wei, and the whole family has been beaten half to death, I am a friend of Wu Xianggongzi, I am here to save you!" ”

Wu Lian stopped and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm a good friend of your brother, and he lives in my house, trust me." Chen Yuanhua then asked, "How is Master Cai now?" ”

"There was a Jinyi guard official, he was arrested from the palace, and he ran into another group of Jinyi guards, and the two groups of people clashed for some reason, so I took the opportunity to escape."

Chen Yuanhua suddenly felt bad, Huang Bingwen must be more auspicious this time, so he said to Wu Lian: "Come with me, your brother asked me to pick you up." ”

At this time, Zhu Hui came to their approach, but Chen Yuanhua pretended not to see it, pulled Wu Lian and left, urging: "Come with me, someone is following you." So saying, they turned into an alley.

Zhu Hui hurriedly chased after him and shouted, "Shopkeeper Chen, you just bailed you out, and you don't know me?" ”

Finding that Chen Yuanhua and Wu Lian pretended not to hear it, they ran faster and faster, how could they outrun Zhu Hui, only to see him step forward with an arrow, stop them, and say quite angrily: "Shopkeeper Chen, you are really ruthless and unjust, what do you mean?" ”

Chen Yuanhua stopped and replied: "I never thought that during the Chinese New Year, I actually met Zhu Gongzi in Beijing, and my brother gave you compensation, why did you come here?" ”

"Isn't Shopkeeper Chen unaware? Bao you out of the Yamen of Yingtianfu, Xu Qianhu is going to return to the capital, to be honest, I have grown so big, I haven't seen what our Jingshi looks like, so, I followed, today Xu Qianhu was on an errand at the noon gate of the Forbidden City, I came to see the excitement, but I happened to meet this girl and was frightened. ”

At this time, Chen Yuanhua's eyes were rolling wildly, and he found and pursued the soldiers, so he relieved himself and asked, "May I ask Zhu Gongzi, do you know who this girl is?" ”

Wu Lian, who was ashamed, glanced at Zhu Hui, remembering that she had just thrown herself into someone's arms, and suddenly turned red.

Finding that Zhu Hui bowed his head and was silent, Chen Yuanhua continued: "She is Wu Xianggongzi's sister, and now Wu Xianggongzi lives in my house, I have to take her away, so don't leave it at that." ”

Zhu Hui knew what Chen Yuanhua was doing, seeing that he wanted to take Wu Lian away, if he insisted on blocking it, he might not be his opponent, and said with a smile: "I heard Miss Yue'er say that Wu Gongzi was stupid in Ningbo, and now he is like a wasted person, don't you still want to let go of his sister?" ”

Before Wu Lian got married, she and Yue'er were good sisters, but at this moment, she didn't know if what Zhu Hui said was true or false? looked at Chen Yuanhua in surprise.

Chen Yuanhua hurriedly retorted: "Nonsense, Wu Gongzi just came to the capital a few days ago, how could he be so stupid?" Don't listen to the wind or the rain. ”

"Girl, do you know who Wu Xiang sold his house to? Hehe, let me tell you, that mansion was sold to my uncle, and Wu Gongzi got 700,000 taels of silver, and silver is really a scourge! Your brother took out all his belongings and partnered with others to do business in Ningbo, and I heard from Miss Yue'er that as soon as he returned from the capital, he was plotted by someone, and now he is completely crazy. ”

At this moment, Wu Lian didn't know who to believe, and Chen Yuanhua didn't want to turn his face with Zhu Hui, worried that if he continued to consume it, he would attract officers and soldiers, so he made an excuse for himself: "When he came out of the house, Wu Gongzi was obviously fine, when did such a thing happen?" Zhu Gongzi, are you sure? ”

Zhu Hui replied unceremoniously: "If you want people to know, you can't do it unless you do." ”

"We're all friends. In that case, Childe, you take care of Wu Gongzi's sister for me, I have to go back quickly to see what happened to Wu Gongzi. Chen Yuanhua said, neither ignored Wu Lian, nor paid attention to Zhu Hui, turned around and left.

Suddenly found that Zhu Hui was chasing after him, Chen Yuanhua turned around and sank his face: "Childe, this is the New Year, when you burn incense and worship the Buddha, don't forget to ask the Bodhisattva to bless your father who is far away in Japan." With that, he didn't look back, and hurriedly fled from Nanchang Street.

This is quite meaningful, Zhu Hui looked at Chen Yuanhua's back, remembered the old father whose whereabouts were unknown, and tears fell down in tears......

Knowing that Zhu Hui knew Yue'er, Wu Lian felt a trace of kindness, suddenly her nose was sore, and she covered her face and cried bitterly......

Zhu Hui asked, "What is the girl's name?" ”

"My name is Wu Lian......"

"Wu Lian, something happened to Cai Mansion, what are you going to do?"

"Childe, just call me Lian'er, I don't know where to go."

"Cai Dezhong is more than lucky, even if he can survive, I'm afraid he will have to go to prison."

At this time, Wu Lian stopped crying and asked, "Can Childe send me home?" ”

"Your house has been raided by Jinyiwei, wouldn't it be self-defeating to go back?"

"It's another place."

Zhu Hui thought to himself, I don't know each other, how can I send you home?

After a moment of silence, Wu Lian said softly: "Childe, I'm really scared, you can go with me." ”

So, Zhu Hui nodded, followed her through the streets and alleys, and walked out of the Xibian Gate, at this time it was already west, and they passed through a few alleys and came to a small courtyard.

Wu Lian looked around vigilantly, there were mostly children setting off firecrackers on the road, so she took out a bunch of keys from her arms and opened the courtyard door, only to see that this small courtyard was very exquisite, with three main houses, two kitchens in the east, and a high wall in the west, when the yard was planted with a lot of pomegranate trees.

Suddenly found that Zhu Hui was reluctant to enter the door, Wu Lian said: "Childe, please come in, this is the New Year, there is no restaurant outside, I will go to make a fire to cook." As she spoke, she brought the stove to warm up Zhu Hui.

After half an hour, Wu Lian cooked four dishes, cooked a pot of soup, and heated a basket of white flour steamed buns, all of which were brought to the dinner table, and said: "This is a few days ago that Master Cai sent someone to quietly send it, I want to let me live here alone after the New Year, please don't dislike it, eat it while it's hot." ”

As soon as Zhu Hui thought of the old coffin scoop, he felt disgusted, and looked at the meal silently, but he had no appetite.

So, Wu Lian took out a bottle of wine from the cupboard and said, "This is bought by Master Cai at a great price, I don't know what kind of wine it is called, it's very expensive anyway, you can taste it." So saying, he poured him a bowl.

It was too cold, Zhu Hui tasted this very expensive wine, and suddenly felt like a dream, and his head was dizzy, as if floating up the nine heavens......

Wu Lian also poured herself half a glass, raised her eyebrows, and said: "I used to drink without a drop of alcohol, because of this, I was also punished by the wives of the Cai family, and today I broke the vows, son, please." ”

So, Zhu Hui raised the big bowl in a trance and replied, "Please." "Maybe they were too hungry, and the two of them ate and drank at the same time, and after a while, they ate all the wine and food.

Wu Lian got up and was about to clean up the dining table, but suddenly her body was crooked, and she fell into Zhu Hui's arms again. Looking at Wu Lian again, her face was also flushed, as if she was a little delirious, and the two seemed to have lost their minds and hugged and went to bed......

After a burst of excitement, Zhu Hui found that the sheets were stained with blood, and when he looked at Wu Lian again, he saw that she closed her eyes tightly and gritted her teeth, as if she had lost consciousness, and she couldn't believe all this in front of her......

After a long time, Wu Lian slowly opened her eyes and muttered: "Childe, I, I am your person, Master Cai is not a man for a long time, the kind of wine you drank has not cured his illness, he, he treats me as a daughter......"

Gradually, Zhu Hui also regained his senses, and his heart said, no wonder he didn't control himself, it turned out that this wine was making trouble......
