After the three of them finished eating, they finished saying everything, and Liu Bao took them to have fun.

Wu Xiang didn't rush to find the girl, he ran to the guest room downstairs in Cuihua, found one of his bodyguards, and asked, "Did that painting go to Yue'er's hand?" ”

"Yu Gongzi, I have already sent it over, but, according to our observation, there are messengers patrolling around Tang Mansion, and for fear of causing you trouble, I hurried back without waiting for Miss Yue'er's reply." The bodyguard replied.

Knowing what they were doing when they came back in a hurry, Wu Xiang smiled and said: "Time is not waiting, this is a major matter related to fate, you should hurry up and go to Tangfu again, ask Yue'er, see if she has seen the person in the painting?" ”

"Wu Gongzi, it's dark in the middle of the night, it's inconvenient for us to go to Tangfu again, what if we are caught by the official? Let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Regarding the origin of those two uninvited guests, we must find out tonight, I suspect that the woman surnamed Naluo lives in Tang Mansion, do not hesitate, so as not to have long nights and dreams, hurry up and find a way to ask Yue'er."

"So, who should be sent?"

Wu Xiang walked to the door of the guest room, opened the door and looked outside, the spacious welcome lobby, except for the two turtle thugs, there were no idlers, he said to himself: "If you can send a girl to go, it may be more appropriate." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly found that Xiaoyu, who was walking on thin ice, was carrying a kettle and walked down the stairs.

Wu Xiang hurriedly went out and asked, "Girl, I want to ask you something, is it convenient for you now?" ”

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yu asked with a confused expression.

Wu Xiang replied: "Girl, if you are not in a hurry, go to the vicinity of the drum tower with my bodyguard, help us inquire about something, and when you come back, my son will be rewarded!" ”

This is really unbelievable, Xiaoyu immediately agreed, and found that the two turtle thugs went to stop them, so Wu Xiang gave them two taels of silver each, so she followed Wu Xiang's two bodyguards and escaped from Cuihualou as if flying.

Huang Bingwen stayed alone in a luxurious room, waiting for a good thing, and suddenly saw Liu Bao with a sad look, and asked anxiously, "What about the yellow flower girl who left me?" ”

"My lord, wait, wait, horses, come soon, come right away." Liu Bao, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, stammered.

At the same time, Tang Jing and Zhu Hui also returned home, and after they entered the courtyard for the second time, the red lanterns hanging high had all been extinguished, and the dark courtyard looked lifeless.

The two entered the study, Tang Jing closed the door of the study, and asked worriedly, "Boy, you don't see dazzling eyes, right?" Did Chen Yuanhua really enter Cuihua Building? ”

"Uncle, I saw him enter Cuihua Building with my own eyes, and at that time, I thought you had something to do with him." Zhu Hui replied.

Tang Jing, who looked gloomy, sighed in a low voice: "Alas, those who should come will definitely come, and those who can't hide can't hide, pirates are ruthless, and they are all outlaws!" There is no reason to talk to them, in the years that I was plundered to Iki Island, in order to save the lives of my whole family, I have done a lot of bad things with them, and now I am terrified when I think about it......"

"Uncle, why didn't Lin Feng send you to Ningbo, but to North Korea?" Zhu Hui asked.

"It's hard to put into words! Boy, pirates don't take human life seriously at all, when I followed them out to rob, as soon as I encountered danger, I lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, and lived a life until now, although they all laughed at me for being cowardly, but some people think that I am a famous general, hehe, when Lin Yiguan selected people on Yiqi Island, the first choice of the shopkeeper sent to Ningbo was me, and I only hated Deng Bichuan for saying bad things about me, which caused Lin Feng to change his mind. ”

"Now, the pirates on Iki Island have been eradicated, Deng Bichuan has been killed, and Lin Feng's life and death are uncertain, uncle, how much do you know about Chen Yuanhua? Do you think he'll still work for pirates? ”

Tang Jing replied: "Chen Yuanhua has been plundered by the Japanese since he was a child, but this kid's head is very active, he recognizes the lord of the Heido Domain, Matsuura Takanobu as his godfather, and even Deng Bichuan gives him three points, which is also the reason why Lin Feng values him, Ningbo is really very important, before he came, he also talked to me, listen to his meaning, is ready to do business, my feeling, his real master is the Matsuura family, if Lin Yiguan is dead, there is no need for him to come to me for trouble." ”

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, Tang Jing smiled slightly, thinking it was Yue'er, so he hurriedly ran over to open the door, and shouted happily: "Come, come, look at you monkey hurry!" ”

When he opened the door, he was standing outside the door with an angry He family, and Wanxi behind him was holding a treasure knife, pointing at Yue'er who was lying on the ground crying.

Handing a portrait to Tang Jing, Mrs. He said sharply: "Look at who the person on this painting is!" ”

At this time, Zhu Hui approached with a candle, Tang Jing opened the portrait and looked at it, and immediately widened his eyes, the person in the painting was Luo Amin.

"Where did this come from?" Zhu Hui asked in surprise.

He Shi's gaze was aggressive, snatched the painting from Tang Jing's hand, and replied: "Someone came to the mansion to look for Yue'er just now, fortunately Wanxi was careful, and saw that someone came to give her this portrait, you can take a look, the heavenly secret has been leaked, our Tang family is about to be in great trouble, you ghost who doesn't know how to die, is still fighting with this fox charmer!" ”

Zhu Hui first thought that Yue'er might be bribed, and asked, "Sister Yue'er, do you know Chen Yuanhua, a businessman from Ningbo?" Tell you, he's a pirate! ”

Yue'er prostrate on the ground, crying and replied: "Please don't talk nonsense, fornicating with pirates is the crime of beheading, the slave family is unknown at home every day, the door is not out, the second door is not stepped, no matter what, it will not have anything to do with pirates." ”

Zhu Hui continued to ask: "Sister Yue'er, then tell me, who sent this portrait?" ”

Tang Jing's eyes rolled, and he leaned in Zhu Hui's ear and asked, "Who else did you see in Cuihualou?" ”

"Master Cai's brother-in-law Wu Xiang also went."

Tang Jing had a bottom in his heart, his guess was really inseparable, it should be Wu Xiang who was looking for Luo Amin everywhere in order to rescue Cai Dezhong, so he asked: "Yue'er, do you know the person in this painting?" ”

Because the painter Wu Xiang found only remembered Luo Amin's appearance when he was a child, if he wasn't an acquaintance, he couldn't tell that this portrait was Luo Amin at a glance, Yue'er thought about it, shook her head vigorously, and didn't answer.

He found that Tang Jing was still excusing Yue'er, so he was so angry that he stomped the three-inch golden lotus, and said angrily: "Shameless thing, tomorrow I will hand her over to Lord Hai and let the government deal with it, if you collude with pirates, you will have to be executed by Ling Chi!" ”

really scared Yue'er enough, knelt down and crawled in front of He's family, and begged: "Madame spare your life, the slave knows that she is wrong, I, I really didn't collude with pirates......"

"Who sent this portrait?"

"Please spare your life, Madame, yes, Wu, Wu Gongzi ......"

"Yue'er, you are still quibbling when you are dying, if you don't tell the truth, Wanxi, tie her up, and send her to the governor's yamen immediately." Ho commanded.

"Please spare my life, Madame, it is, it was sent to me by Wu Xiang, I don't know what he wants to do?"

"Lord Hai is arresting Wu Xiang, and he still dares to stay in Nanjing? So, let me ask you, where is Wu Xiang now? ”

At this time, Wanxi raised her knife and said: "Sister Yue'er, you know, the deed and title deed of our mansion are all mortgaged to the Yamen of Yingtian Governor, if Wu Xiang can't be caught to make the merit for the crime, it means that this mansion will be confiscated by the government, and Lord Hai will drive us out sooner or later, hurry up, where is Wu Xiang?" If not, don't blame me for being rude. ”

Listening to the noise outside the study, Mother Tang walked out, she had already understood what was happening, and found that everyone was persecuting Yue'er unrelentingly, afraid that there would be a real mess, so she came over and persuaded: "You have to spare people and spare people, hand over Miss Yue'er to me." ”

"Mother." Mrs. He stepped forward to say a blessing, and said anxiously: "The heavenly secret of the family has been leaked. ”

"Daughter-in-law, what do you say?" Tom asked.

Seeing that Tang Jing was still looking at Yue'er with squinting eyes, He Shi wanted to execute her immediately.

Just when everyone was helpless, Zhu Hui asked: "Sister Yue'er, you Qingyang accompanied you, wronged you to live in the northwest corner courtyard, help serve pregnant women for a few days, and have nothing to do, are you willing?" ”

The old lady nodded and said: "Amitabha, this is very good, Miss Yue'er, then I have wronged you, when Lord Hai catches Wu Xiang, he will naturally release you, otherwise, you will be guilty of the same crime as Wu Xiang, and if you are arrested by the government, you will have to be executed Ling Chi, and your hometown in Jiangbei will also be destroyed!" ”

Yue'er hurriedly replied: "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the ancestors, the great kindness of the ancestors, Yue'er is unforgettable." The slave maid was originally a cheap life to be a girl, and she was willing to be a cow and a horse in the future, and be loyal to the Tang family. ”

Tang Jing grinned, it seemed that it would be difficult to have a secret meeting with Yue'er in the future, and said unwillingly: "Mother, my son is not filial and disturbs his mother's rest, I don't think let Yue'er disturb the guests, let her go to the back room to live with the maids." ”

Mother Tang knew that her son had bad intentions, so she glared at her and said angrily: "In the future, you will move me out of the study and go back to Mrs. He's east wing to live!" ”

Finding that Tang Jing still wanted to plead, Zhu Hui persuaded: "Uncle, what grandma said is that the family is prosperous, so go and rest with your aunt." ”

The old lady continued to stare at her son and scolded: "You have no interest, you will only survive in secret, how can you be like the old ancestor Dongou King after the queen?" ”

Just when Yue'er was taken into the corner courtyard by Qingyang, Huang Bingwen in Cuihua Building had been waiting for more than half an hour, and he couldn't bear it, so he rushed downstairs to find Liu Bao and scolded: "You damn bastard, where is the girl you left for Lao Tzu?" ”

Liu Bao replied dejectedly: "My lord, Wu Gongzi, he ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Bingwen kicked him to the ground and continued to scold: "You bastard, you dare to let others take the lead, go and send Xiao Yu to me, tell Wu Xiang this bastard, Xiao Yu is mine!" ”

"The adults are angry, it's not that Wu Gongzi is loved, it's because someone needs to go out to do errands, and he really can't find an idler, so he sent Xiaoyu away." Liu Bao replied.

"He has so many men, who can't he send? Why did you send Xiaoyu there? Huang Bingwen said angrily.

"There are officials patrolling outside the Tang Mansion day and night, Hai Rui is still arresting Wu Gongzi everywhere, for the sake of prudence, he didn't dare to send others, so he had to send Xiaoyu to the Tang Mansion, and he will be back in a while."

The impatient Huang Bingwen was discouraged, he heard that Tang Jing's wife, children and mother suddenly returned, and brought back a few mysterious guests, maybe the mysterious woman surnamed Luo, who suddenly had her spirits.

Liu Bao asked diligently: "My lord, look, do you want to find one for you first?" ”

"No need, I'll wait for this Xiaoyu tonight!" Huang Bingwen replied.

The bodyguards took Xiaoyu to Tangfu, and for fear of being discovered by the officials who patrolled the night, they all hid in the shadows and sent her to Tangfu to contact Yue'er.

Xiaoyu was like an injured bird, stumbling to the door of the Tang Mansion, at this moment, the house had just finished dealing with Yue'er's affairs, because Qingyang accompanied Yue'er to move into the corner courtyard, the west ear room was vacated for Wanxi to live, and Zhu Hui moved to the inverted seat room in the courtyard.

When Zhu Hui passed by the door with the futon in his arms, he suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door outside, and when he opened the door, he saw a crying girl kneeling in front of the door, so he asked curiously, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Please help me, Childe! The little woman has a grievance......"
