"Brother Li, something happened to Second Miss Qin?" Under Li Hongyu's depressed gaze, Zhao Xin turned around and walked back from the carriage, looked at him in surprise and asked, due to the sudden incident, Qin Yue's matter has not yet been spread.

"It's just a little trouble, my eldest brother will handle it properly, Brother Zhao doesn't have to worry, it's better to go to the governor's yamen to check." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and pretended to answer easily.

"Miss Qin Er is not an ordinary ordinary person, she was actually kidnapped by someone, what is the origin of the other party?" Zhao Xin's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, from this point of view, the person who kidnapped Qin Yue was not an idle person, otherwise who would dare to do such a thing in the provincial capital.

"It's not clear yet."

The corners of Li Hongyu's mouth couldn't help but flash a wry smile, and after shaking his head at Zhao Xin, he solemnly bowed his hand to Zhao Xin, "Brother Zhao, the matter over there of the governor's yamen is entrusted to you, this matter is related to the life and death of my second brother, and I hope Brother Zhao can help!" ”

Obviously, Li Hongyu didn't want Zhao Xin to intervene in Qin Yue's affairs, so as not to cause trouble to Zhao Xin and affect Zhao Xin's township test, so he tried every means to take Zhao Xin away

Speaking of Li Hongyu's last time he entered the Xiangyang County Prison, he had to mention Niu Feng in Xiangyang County, since Du Yi'an had returned to Wuchang City, it meant that Niu Feng's case had been tried, and Niu Feng was sentenced to death by hanging because of the huge amount of ink greed, and is now locked up in the prison of the Huguang Prosecutor's Office.

It is worth mentioning that although Niu Feng was hanged, he was not executed immediately, and according to the process of handling affairs in the yamen, this sentence must be reported to the Criminal Department, and the execution can only be carried out after the approval of the Criminal Department.

Moreover, the death penalty in the Ming and Qing dynasties was held in autumn, which is often referred to as the "autumn decision", autumn is a season when everything in the world begins to wither, so the imperial court chose this period to execute so as not to violate the number of days, and it is not a casual time to kill.

Since it is now almost August, it will definitely be past the time for this year's autumn execution by the time Niu Feng's sentence is approved by the Criminal Department and sent to the Huguang Prosecutor's Office, and the only way to do so is to wait until next year's autumn execution.

In Li Hongyu's view, this is not good news for Niu Feng, which means that he will have to endure a longer period of torment in prison, and this kind of waiting for death is not pleasant.

Although Li Hongyu is for Zhao Xin's good, things are not as easy as he thought, Zhao Xin is not the kind of person who hides when he encounters trouble, otherwise he would not accompany Li Hongyu to the prison in Xiangyang County in the first half of the year.

"Brother Li, the matter of Yi Gongzi is important, but the top priority is to rescue Miss Qin Er, even if I go to the governor's yamen, I may not be able to see any clues."

Therefore, Zhao Xin pondered for a while and said to him with a serious expression, "The person who kidnapped Miss Qin Er must have a deep background, you may be difficult to deal with alone, if you add me, then the situation will be better, our Zhao family has been in business for many years, and there are people we know in the capital." ”

"Brother Zhao, I understand your kindness, Miss Qin Er is my fiancée, and her matter is the matter of our Li family, if Brother Zhao's intervention is not justified, it may cause criticism from the outside world."

Li Hongyu suddenly sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this, he knew that Zhao Xin would not sit idly by, so after thinking about it, he said to Zhao Xin bitterly, "Brother Zhao, what business people are most afraid of is to have a relationship with the official family, if you affect your Zhao family's business, I will become a sinner." ”

Zhao Xin immediately understood the meaning of Li Hongyu's words, Li Hongyu not only reminded him that once he intervened in this matter, it might affect the Fuxiang Horn, but also euphemistically expressed that if he did so, it would make the outside world misunderstand the relationship between him and Qin Yue.

"What sinner is not a sinner, it's a big deal that I was scolded by my father, since our Zhao family's business can be done so naturally, it is natural that we have some confidence, and it is not so easy to move our Zhao family's business."

Zhao Xin naturally knew that Li Hongyu had found him a step down, so that he could get out of Qin Yue's affairs with dignity, and if he was someone else, he might have some scruples, but Zhao Xin was not afraid of this kind of rumor, who would have thought that she would be a daughter, so he waved his hand to Li Hongyu disapprovingly, and said:

"We are also brothers who have been in prison together, I naturally can't stand by and watch if you have difficulties, otherwise how will others think of me, where is the word benevolence and righteousness?"

"Brother Zhao......"

Li Hongyu couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart when he heard this, and couldn't help but step forward and hold Zhao Xin's hands, he wanted to say something but the corners of his mouth squirmed and couldn't say it, the so-called adversity sees the truth, Zhao Xin is definitely a person worth dating.

Zhao Xin didn't expect Li Hongyu to have such a move, she was slightly stunned at first, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand from Li Hongyu's palm, but Li Hongyu grabbed it tightly, she tried a few times and couldn't break free, so she let Li Hongyu, who was a little excited, hold it tightly, and two blush couldn't help but fly on her cheeks.

To be honest, even Zhao Xin didn't know what was wrong with her, she had been taught by her family to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages since she was a child, so she naturally knew that Qin Yue's matter was more tricky than Li Hongyi's, and it was really not a wise move to provoke any kind of big man in the capital.

But she just couldn't sit back and watch Li Hongyu get into trouble, so the ghost sent a helping hand, just like the last time in the Xiangyang County Prison, who would accompany Li Hongyu to stay in the prison if he was full, and if he didn't do it, he would be involved in Li Hongyu's case.

Fortunately, the last time Zhang framed Li Hongyu, the case was quickly investigated by Tang Yu, the official of the government, and Zhao Xin did not stay in prison for long.

But this time the situation is different, God knows who is the divine who kidnapped Qin Yue this time, and I don't know if she will be as lucky as last time this time.

Li Hongqing looked at Zhao Xin with a surprised expression, he never thought that Zhao Xin would also get involved in Qin Yue's affairs, didn't Zhao Xin know that doing so might affect the upcoming township test?

"Three...... The third son, fight ...... After inquiring clearly, they took the young lady to ...... I went to the Linjiang Tower in the east of the city! Before Li Hongqing came back to his senses, a subordinate ran over from a distance panting, shouting as he ran.

"Let's go!" Li Hongyu's eyes flashed when he heard this, and after letting go of Zhao Xin's hand, he waved at Wang Tieniu and the others who were waiting in the courtyard, he wanted to see who dared to be so bold and rob people on the street.

Zhao Xin followed Li Hongyu into the carriage with a crimson cheek, and she naturally didn't notice the chill in Li Hongyu's eyes flashing before, otherwise she would be surprised to find that Li Hongyu was not as cowardly as she imagined, and also had a cold side.

On the way, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin were silent, each thinking about their own thoughts, which made the carriage present a strange silence, which made people feel quite depressed.

Linjiang Building is a famous restaurant in Wuchang City, three floors high, built near the river, located on the shore of the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River, the geographical position is superior, it is famous for sweet and sour fish, the business is booming, and it is crowded with diners who come to eat every day.

"Two sons, I'm really sorry, this building is full, so let's go elsewhere and have a look." As soon as Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin got off the carriage, a shopkeeper standing in front of the restaurant greeted them, nodded and said.

"Third son, the young lady is still upstairs, and the little one didn't dare to go up for fear of being recognized by them." At this time, a man who looked like a man squatting in the shade in front of the restaurant ran over and whispered to Li Hongyu.

"My son was invited, may I ask where the son who came from the capital is on what floor." Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, and reminded the shopkeeper standing in front of him, "By the way, they may have brought a young lady." ”

"You mean the fat boy who came with Young Master Cui, they are in the Juyi Hall on the third floor." The shopkeeper reacted quickly when he heard this, pointed upstairs and said with a smile on his face.

When Qin Yue came, she was held by two big men on the left and right, as if she was drunk and unconscious, and she looked very eye-catching because of her beautiful and moving appearance.

"Young Master Cui?" Li Hongyu's eyes lit up, and he deliberately said to himself, "I didn't expect him to make an appointment with someone else." ”

"I don't know which Young Master Cui is on it?" Then, Li Hongyu motioned to Rou'er, who was following behind him, and handed the shopkeeper a piece of broken silver, and asked quietly.

"Of course, it's the second son of our Huguang Commander Si Cui Du." The shopkeeper reached out and took the piece of broken silver, which weighed five or six dollars, so he bowed back with a smile on his face.

"The second son of Cui Du's commander!" Li Hongyu suddenly gasped when he heard this, and his face suddenly turned a little pale, he didn't expect the other party's origin to be so big.

The highest-ranking position of the Huguang Metropolitan Division is the "Commander of the Metropolitan Command", the supreme commander of the Huguang District Guard Force, who manages all the military households in the Huguang area.

According to Emperor Hongwu's conception, the military and government affairs of the Ming Dynasty were in charge of the five government and six departments, and everyone knew that the "six departments" were the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry.

The "Five Governments" refer to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, namely the Former Military Governor's Mansion, the Later Military Governor's Mansion, the Left Army Governor's Office, the Right Army Governor's Mansion and the Chinese Military Governor's Office, which manage the military households in the world.

Since the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is located in the capital, those Metropolitan Yamen and Xingdu Yamen are the highest military affairs yamen in the local area.

It stands to reason that the left and right governors of the Five Armies Governor's Office and the Six Shangshu are on an equal footing and jointly govern the Ming Dynasty, but since the rapid rise of the civil official group after the First World War of Tumubao, the left and right governors of the Five Military Governor's Office gradually lost their right to speak in the court and were firmly suppressed by the civilian clique.

But then again, although the left and right governors of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies have lost power, because the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is the territory of the Ming Xungui Group, and the Xungui Group has a very close relationship with the royal family, no one usually provokes the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Those nobles of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies either followed the founding exploits of Emperor Hongwu or followed the exploits of Emperor Yongle, inherited from generation to generation, and the relationship was close, not to mention that they were married to each other, which can be described as both glory and loss.

In addition, because the Xungui clique knew that it could not defeat the civilian clique, it took the initiative to give up the power of the government and turned to guard the five military governors' mansions, so the civil officials and eunuchs in the court would not easily poke this hornet's nest, and everyone was at peace.

A single second son of Cui is enough to give Li Hongyu a headache, and now there is another unidentified fat son, which undoubtedly makes the situation worse, if he is not mistaken, that guy is the noble son of the Ming Dynasty.

And if the son of Xun Gui commits a crime, the local yamen has no right to govern, and he has to report to the criminal department to wait for the fate, no wonder that fat boy dares to be so arrogant, it turns out that he has such a background, which makes things suddenly complicated.
