When the two maids heard that Xu Qianhu was going to take them into Beijing, they thought that they were entering the palace to serve "Luo Amin", and even fantasized that they could get the emperor's favor.

Because the canal was frozen, Hai Rui sent the guards to escort them in a carriage, and returned to Wang Chong's house on the 28th of the lunar month, where Wang Chong and Guo Yi greeted them and warmly invited the guards to their home for dinner, but the leader of the guards said that they did not dare to stay.

Finding that Xu Ling'er brought two maids, Guo Yi smiled and said, "My sister has also learned to let people serve?" So he took out some pieces of silver and gave them to the maids, the guards, and the porters.

The guards and porters hurriedly waved their hands, resolutely refusing to accept it, and their leader said in embarrassment: "Lord Wang, Lord Guo, spare us, if we take the silver and spread it to the ears of Lord Hai, we will not be able to keep the rice bowl, you see, we have dry food with us, and if we are hungry, Lord Zunhai has ordered us to send Xu Qianhu home, and we must go back immediately." ”

The two maids took the silver, and sighed secretly in their hearts: Mrs. Kuo in the capital is really rich, and there is so much silver for the meeting gift, so excited that she didn't even say a word of thanks.

"Madam, the two of us are not leaving, we are still waiting to enter the palace to serve the queen."

Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and thought it was a joke, Xu Ling'er secretly rejoiced, but fortunately, they didn't say anything and went to the palace to find Luo Amin.

"The two girls are working hard, let's go drink saliva first." Xu Ling'er said, and led them into the house.

No matter how Wang Chong and the others retained, the guards still insisted on leaving, and everyone knew Hai Rui's temperament, so they had to send them to the street, and then waved goodbye.

Wang Chong returned home and asked, "Ling'er, was the maid sent by Tang Jing?" What did they say, waiting to enter the palace to serve the queen? ”

"This is a legend, Brother Chong, I'll tell you more about it later."

After that, Xu Ling'er went to find the two maids, and at this moment, they were introducing their "sacred mission" to Guo Yi......

Guo Yi grinned when he heard it, but he never understood what was going on.

Seeing Xu Ling'er coming, a maid asked, "Are you going to send us into the palace today?" Now, Miss Amin must have been named the queen, the day after tomorrow is the first day of the new year, long live the New Year's money will definitely not be less, if you miss the time, do you say we are wronged? ”

Xu Ling'er knew that she had to stabilize the two of them first.

"Let me ask you, do you know the etiquette of meeting the emperor?"

The two maids got up and said a blessing, and said in their mouths: "Long live, long live, long live my master, long live, long live the queen." ”

Seeing this, Xu Ling'er smiled and leaned back and ......

"You two are still going to see the emperor like this? You know? Looking up at the king, he intends to assassinate the king! I'll have to let the little eunuch pull you out and cut you down. If you want to see the emperor, you have to go to the Ministry of Rites to perform the ceremony, learn how to bow three times and bow nine times, and the rules of the palace, understand? ”

A maid hurriedly begged: "Auntie, then hurry up and let someone from the Ministry of Rites teach us." ”

"Along the way, the saddle horse is tired, everyone is tired, here is the guest room for you, rest for a few days first, you have to wait for the New Year, the Ministry of Rites can send someone to teach you."

As soon as Xu Ling'er's words fell, Wang rushed in.

"Invite the two girls to the guest room to rest."

Looking at their disappointed expressions, Xu Ling'er could only persuade them with good words.

"It's the New Year soon, our New Year's money here may not be as much as the queen's mother, but there are still some, it's useless to be anxious, the people from the Ministry of Rites have also gone home for the New Year, you can live in peace for a few days, but I want to warn you, the capital is big, don't run around, Luo Amin's enemies are looking for the two of you."

After settling them down, Xu Linger told Wang Chong and Guo Yi in detail about the past events that happened in Nanjing.

Since offending Huang Bingwen, Wang Chong has never seen him again, until the old prince of Chengguo came back from Fengyang to worship his ancestors, he knew that someone had already passed the great eunuch Huang Jin to blow the wind in front of Emperor Longqing, claiming that he would soon be able to find Luo Amin and test the emperor's attitude towards her.

The news from the palace may be that Emperor Longqing is grateful to Luo Wenlong, if Luo Amin is already married, he will summon her into the palace to rehabilitate Luo Wenlong, and then make her a wife......

According to the clues provided by Tang Jing and Zhu Hui, everyone agreed that it must be Huang Bingwen who released this wind, but he didn't necessarily know that Wu Xiang and others had made a fake, otherwise, according to his temperament, how could he let Xuande Zhenren escort him to Beijing? What's more, this old way escaped from the palace, and he is also guilty.

Now, Zhang Min'er has been hidden by the Elder of the Moon Sky, Xuande Zhenren and Wu Xiang are seriously ill, and with these two informed maids in hand, Xu Ling'er has put forward a bold plan: try to capture Huang Bingwen.

Huang Bingwen came back this time, he was haunted all day long, and there was always a group of thugs around him, and it was not easy to catch him. After careful consideration, they decided to act on the first day of the Lunar New Year, taking the opportunity to give him New Year's greetings, to control him first, with these two maids as witnesses, accusing him of trying to kidnap Luo Amin, and on this charge, Cheng Guogong could put him to death.

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu, and thousands of households always change the new peach for the old one.

Before dawn, Wang Chong got up to set off firecrackers, Guo Yi and Xu Linger began to make dumplings, and the two maids got up early, so they had to go to the temple fair.

Xu Ling'er said: "You can't go anywhere, stay at home honestly." ”

The two of them were very unconvinced, so they became petty, and Xu Linger didn't want them to be awkward during the New Year.

"You don't want to think about it, why did you quietly send Luo Amin into the palace instead of bringing you with you? is worried that Luo Amin's enemies will find out, if you run around and be recognized as Luo Amin's maid, when the time comes, I don't know how you died. ”

A maid asked, "Miss Amin has already entered the palace as a mother, who dares to plot against us?" ”

At this time, Guo Yi played a round in time......

"Niangniang is in the palace, of course she is very safe, but there are still many enemies outside the palace, since they can't catch Luo Amin, I'm afraid they can only use the two of you to vent their anger."

Hearing this, they began to complain to each other......

"It's all you! Enjoying some glory and wealth all day long, it seems that we have to put our little lives into it. ”

"It's not that you said that you want to ask your mother for a lady......"

"Didn't you say that when you get money from the palace, you can buy thousands of acres of land for your father, and let your father be a foreigner......

"Don't you still want to ask for a half-official position for your stupid brother......

As soon as you said a word, I said a word, the two maids almost started fighting, and Guo Yi hurriedly gave them two red envelopes.

"This is your New Year's money, go back to the room to rest first, and then take you to play when it's convenient."

Stabilizing the two of them, Wang Chong and Xu Ling'er brought New Year's gifts and were going to pay New Year's greetings to Huang Bingwen......

"The younger brother has come to pay a New Year's greeting to my brother and sister, so bring the New Year's money."

Wang Chong patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Why did you come here?" It's frozen, so let's go inside and bake the fire. ”

"I heard Sister Ling'er say that my brother invited me to a meritorious name, and I received the reward."

"Look at you frozen." Xu Ling'er asked, "You came on horseback, right?" Why not come with us? ”

"Sister Ling'er, have you forgotten how Tang Daguan taught me?"

"Could it be that Chen Yuanhua is also here?"

"Yes, he just went to Huang Bingwen's mansion, and then he took a group of brocade guards to arrest Cai Dezhong."

At this time, the two maids heard Zhu Hui's voice and ran out and shouted, "Son, we want to see Shopkeeper Chen." ”

"Shopkeeper Chen's business hasn't been done yet, I'll pick you up in a few days."

Zhu Hui said, sent them away, and briefly described the situation in the past few days.

It turned out that Zhu Hui followed Chen Yuanhua back to Ningbo first, and then followed him to Nanjing, and the day of departure from Nanjing was one day later than Xu Ling'er and others, because they came on horseback, they also arrived in Beijing on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

Chen Yuanhua stayed near Yongding Gate for a night, and the next day he came to Chengtianmen, inquired about Huang Bingwen's address, and went to him early this morning to pay New Year's greetings.

Huang Bingwen said straight to the point: "It's rare that my brother can still remember me, and I won't tell you that the 900,000 taels of silver I brought back last time were all spent cleanly, and I was worried about how to celebrate the New Year, but I also did something serious and fished out Wu Xiang's brother-in-law, but I didn't expect that Wu Xiang's kid was a cheap life, and he was actually scared stupid by the girl in his house." ”

This time he went out in a hurry, Chen Yuanhua really didn't bring much money, listening to his voice, he obviously thought that he was giving a gift, and it was inconvenient to take this conversation, but he couldn't even give a little gift, it was really not like words.

"Lord Huang, look at me patronizing to do big things, I came in a hurry, this gift is not a tribute." As he spoke, he took out two gold ingots from his arms.

This is only one hundred and ten taels of silver, and Huang Bingwen suddenly lowered his face.

"What the hell is the big deal with you?"

"Lord Huang, there is Luo Amin's whereabouts below."

Hearing this, Huang Bingwen's eyes widened and he grabbed him by the collar.

"What do you say? Isn't Wu Xiang, this bastard, stupid? Who found Roamin? It's you? So, where is Roamin now? ”

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly: Ningbo Sanqingguan has a Taoist, the Taoist name is called Xuande Zhenren, is a good friend of Wu Xiang, it turns out that Wu Xiang's kid is hiding from us, through this old way to find Luo Amin, the old Tao secretly went to find Wu Xiang's joint, ready to quietly send Luo Amin to the capital, but unexpectedly Wu Xiang, this kid is not blessed, he took Luo Amin into Beijing alone......"

Huang Bingwen listened to it, and suddenly came to his senses......

"This damn bullnose is a fugitive, where are they now?"

"Maybe it's at Wu Xiang's brother-in-law's house, or maybe they've sent Luo Amin to the Forbidden City."

"I said that Wu Xiang, a bastard, came to the capital some time ago, but he didn't even come to see me, his grandmother's, Cai Dezhong, this bastard is really looking for death!"

"Lord Huang was angry, Xuande Zhenren took Luo Amin and quietly left Ningbo, the next day, Luo Amin's two maids came to Qianzhuang to find me, I only knew about it, so I hurried to Nanjing to report to you, who expected, there was another file in Nanjing, and it was delayed for a few days......"

Huang Bingwen looked unforgivably angry, and hurriedly asked, "What the hell happened again?" ”

"When we arrived in Nanjing, Liu Bao looked for you everywhere, but he never found you, and as a result, I was treated as a pirate on the street and sent to the Yamen of Yingtian Governor."

"It's this hateful Hai Jui again, what happened?"

"Later, fortunately, someone was a guarantor, Hai Rui released me, but the two maids were nowhere to be found, and they were all looking forward to entering the palace to enjoy the glory and wealth, I guess they came to the capital, and they should be at Wu Xiang's brother-in-law's house."

After a moment of silence, Huang Bingwen suddenly asked, "Have you gone to find Cai Dezhong?" ”

"No, no, maybe they've sent Luo Amin to the palace."

Huang Bingwen knew that he and Huang Jinxi met every day, and so far, Emperor Longqing had not summoned Cai Dezhong, nor had he heard any news in the palace.

"It's impossible, Xuande Zhenren, Luo Amin, and those two maids must still be in Cai Dezhong's house."

So, Huang Bingwen immediately gathered his Jinyi guards, took Chen Yuanhua, and set off with great strength......

At this time, Zhu Hui had been secretly spying, and when he learned that they were going to find Cai Dezhong, he immediately came to report to Wang Chong.

It really fulfills the old saying: the wicked have their own wicked grinding.

Wang Chong and the others watched the fire from the other side, preparing to wipe them out......
