Wu Lian helped him up, took out a document from the mezzanine of the dresser drawer, handed it to Zhu Hui, and said, "This is the deed, let's hand it over to a son-in-law for safekeeping." ”

didn't expect her to trust him so much, Zhu Hui was quite moved, but after all, money was something outside his body, he quickly regained his composure, returned everything to her, and urged: "Lian'er, we have to get out of here immediately." ”

When they came to the street, there were people walking relatives and friends everywhere, and the two of them walked through the streets and alleys to Wang Chong's house, and it was nearly noon at this time.

The two maids were cooking at home, and Xu Ling'er, who was helping to take care of the baby, suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, so she quickly ran out to take a look, and saw a panicked girl hiding behind Zhu Hui, so she knew that she was Wu Lian, so she smiled at them and didn't ask much.

Waiting for Xu Ling'er to plug in the door, Zhu Hui asked, "Sister Ling'er, how is the child now?" ”

"It's all good." Xu Ling'er said, looked sideways at Wu Lian and asked, "May I ask if this girl is Wu Gongzi's sister and Cai Dezhong's aunt?" ”

Wu Lian hurriedly lowered her head, as if she was very ashamed, and at this time, Zhu Hui also became blushing and thick-necked, and she didn't dare to look at Xu Ling'er directly.

Xu Ling'er circled around Wu Lian and asked, "Zhu Hui, have you been tried?" ”

"Sister, there is no need to interrogate, she doesn't know anything, Wu Xiang came to Beijing to see Cai Dezhong a few years ago, Lian'er didn't even see his brother, those confidential matters, they won't let Lian'er know at all."

Listening to Zhu Hui's mouthful of lotus children, Xu Ling'er seemed to guess his thoughts, pointed to his head, and said with a smile: "You are really a little ghost now, Brother Chong has not come back yet, you just wait to accept the disposal." ”

At this time, Wu Lian also recognized Xu Ling'er, who was the leader of the Jinyi Guard who arrested Huang Bingwen in front of the noon gate, but she didn't know what she would do with herself, so she hurriedly knelt on the ground, wiped her tears and said: "Sister General, Lian'er has been living hard since she was a child, followed her parents from her hometown in She County, Huizhou, and opened a tofu workshop in Nanjing, and often went to deliver tofu to the governor of Yingtian's house. As he spoke, tears flowed down his face.

"I guess you will definitely say that, if Cai Dezhong is still the governor of Yingtian now, hehe......" Xu Ling'er sneered, staring at Wu Lian coldly.

Wu Lian prostrate on the ground, crying and replied: "Cai Dezhong accepted Lian'er, I only knew that he was already a wasted person, Lian'er has been in Cai's Mansion for three years, and she is still a girl, and Zhu Hui's son can testify." ”

Xu Ling'er was stunned for a moment, found that Zhu Hui turned around and ran, stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and asked, "Stinky boy, what did you do to Wu Lian?" ”

Zhu Hui pushed Xu Ling'er away, hugged his head with both hands, and replied: "Sister, yesterday, I sent her home, it was already dark, I had dinner at her house, and drank Cai Dezhong's turtle grandson's medicinal wine, who knew that, that wine was so powerful, and ...... after drinking, this, I can't blame me." ”

At this time, Xu Ling'er understood what was going on, kicked him hard, and shouted, "Help the maid cook." Then, she took Wu Lian to the guest room.

After closing the door, Xu Ling'er asked, "Wu Lian, what are your plans in the future?" ”

Wu Lian trembled and knelt down and begged: "Sister General, send me back to Nanjing." ”

Helping Wu Lian up, Xu Ling'er persuaded: "You don't have to be like this, as long as you tell the truth, I will allow you to go back to Nanjing with Zhu Hui." ”

"Thank you for the grace of the general's sister, Lian'er didn't tell half a lie."

"Okay, let me ask you, do you know what Cai Dezhong went to the palace for?"

"I know, after he was transferred from the post of governor of the heavens, he was participated in by the lord of Hai Ruihai, he was interrogated by Dali Temple for several months, except for the unsubstantiated greed for money, there is really no other illegality, Cai Dezhong was unwilling to return to his hometown, and handed the fold to the saint, but the saint did not pay attention, he had to take the opportunity of the feast of the ministers, and begged for mercy in front of the saint."

Xu Ling'er continued to ask: "What did your brother do when he went to Beijing this year?" ”

Speaking of Wu Xiang, Wu Lian held back her anger and replied indignantly: "I hate him to death!" I only know that after I entered Cai's mansion, he became Cai Dezhong's eagle dog and did a lot of bad things, and their secrets will not be known to outsiders, including me. ”

"So, why did Huang Bingwen arrest Cai Dezhong?"

"Sister general, the slave doesn't know what Huang Bingwen is, and I don't know why he wants to arrest Cai Dezhong."

Looking at Wu Lian's innocent appearance, Xu Ling'er suddenly felt compassion and said: "Anyway, you are still a member of the Cai family, now that Cai Dezhong is dead, the rest were all captured by Jinyiwei, and you should have been sent to prison, but now for my brother's sake, I will temporarily lock you up here, don't make a noise, wait for Wang Zhenfu to come back and deal with it, understand?" ”

Wu Lian got up and said a thousand blessings, and replied: "Thank you for the grace of the general's sister, I still have some private money, take it to buy a coffin for Cai Dezhong, as for how to deal with the slaves and maids, the slaves and maids have accepted their fate." ”

At this time, the maid had already prepared a meal, Xu Ling'er gave Wu Lian one, and went to find Zhu Hui, at this time, he was playing with the baby in his arms.

"Zhu Hui, yesterday was the first time you handled the case on an errand, so you made such a joke, and when Brother Chong comes back, I don't think he can spare you."

After listening to Xu Ling'er's words, Guo Yi asked curiously: "What kind of joke did you make?" ”

Xu Ling'er didn't know how to explain, shook her head and replied, "Sister, let's eat first." ”

"The two sisters eat slowly, I have already eaten in the kitchen just now." Zhu Hui put down the baby and hurriedly ran out.

"Stinky boy, what are you going to do?" Xu Ling'er asked.

"I'll go to the yamen to help Brother Wang Chong."

Since following Chen Yuanhua to the capital, Zhu Hui has not slept well, came out of Wang Chong's house, and came to the yamen of the Five Armies in a daze.

At this moment, at the home of the chief eunuch Huang Jin, Huang Bingwen knelt in front of his godfather, crying with a handful of snot and tears......

Hearing what happened to his godson, Huang Jin, who was angry, scolded sharply: "The eight lambs of the turtle king, this big New Year, it doesn't make people feel provincial, look at your trouble, it's not the sprinkle family to intercede for you, even if you run to the ends of the earth, you will have to be cut with a thousand knives if you are caught......

"It's all the children who are not doing well, and they are causing trouble for their father." Huang Bingwen replied with tears in his eyes.

Huang Jin said angrily: "What's more than trouble? You were shocked, and your father didn't dare to tell the truth to Long Live Lord, that can only be what people say, that's what it is, now you can avoid the death penalty, and the living sin is unforgivable! ”

At this time, Huang Bingwen thought to himself, isn't it all because you want to make trouble with Naro Amin, and argued: "You can't punish the child alone, right?" ”

"People pinched you and didn't dare to defend you, and now they are arresting you everywhere, and you are still hypocritical when you die." Huang Jin said, threw a letter, and then said: "This is a secret letter just brought by the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom who came to pay New Year's greetings. ”

Huang Bingwen looked at it, glared and asked, "Godfather, so to speak, Luo Amin, who married the pirate leader, has fallen into the sea and drowned?" ”

"Turtle son, you fell for Wang Chong and them! Do you know that during the feast of the ministers, the emperor was sad about this matter, and you ran outside the noon gate to make a big noise, and now people will sue you for disturbing the holy driver, and Liu Shouyou can't save you, understand? ”

Huang Bingwen lowered his head in shame and begged, "Please godfather save me." ”

"Turtle son, I heard you say just now, you ran to Cai Dezhong's house, what did you say to catch the demon road, is it the demon road that escaped from the palace?" Huang Jin asked.

"Daddy Qiqi is the real person of Xuande, the junior brother of the demon Dao King Jin." Huang Bingwen replied.

"That's good! Cai Dezhong colluded with the demon Xuande real person to plot misdeeds, you received a wire report from the Sprinkle family, go to arrest Cai Dezhong, don't say anything else, the Sprinkle family will find a way to save you, get up, good son. Huang Jin comforted.

Huang Bingwen knew that in this way, although he could save his life, Wang Chong and others would definitely not give up, and if they couldn't get out of their official position, how could they be willing? So, he lay on the ground and kowtowed a few times, and continued to plead: "If you are not filial to the child, you can no longer honor your old man, godfather, save the child!" ”

At this time, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside, and without waiting for Huang Jin to answer, a little eunuch came in and said, "Father-in-law, a group of brocade guards have come outside, and they want to enter the house to search." ”

Although Huang Jin was in charge of the East and West No. 2 Factory, he still did not dare to oppose Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, hearing this, Huang Jin suddenly became a little nervous, kicked Huang Bingwen hard, and said: "Take this secret letter, calm down, and go with them." ”

Huang Bingwen prostrate on the ground, hugged Huang Jin's thigh, and said sadly: "Godfather, the child may not be able to come back if he goes......"

Huang Jin took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a while, and replied: "You can clearly tell Zhu Xizhong to arrest that demon Dao Xuande Zhenren, this is the order of the Sprinkle family, let him come to the Sprinkle family to talk about things, I can let you be transferred to the East Factory as a Jinyi Guard, and serve as the chief criminal officer of the East Factory. ”

Huang Bingwen secretly scolded in his heart, a million taels of silver was fed to the dog, but he put himself into such a situation, gritted his teeth, and replied helplessly: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the godfather." ”

"Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, good son, get up and go with them."

After tidying up his clothes and moving his facial muscles for a while, Huang Bingwen opened the courtyard door, only to see Wang Chong holding an embroidered spring knife in his hand, riding on a tall horse, and on both sides stood majestic brocade guards, waiting for him.

"The next official will give Wang Zhenfu a New Year's greeting!"

Finding that Huang Bingwen still didn't care, Wang Chong was very angry, waved the embroidered spring knife, and shouted: "Grab it and take it away." ”

Huang Bingwen did not resist, and the captains stepped forward to wipe his shoulders and tie his back.

"Wang Zhenfu, all the brothers of Jinyiwei, it's hard work, it's all unfavorable to blame the lowly job, which has affected everyone, and caused everyone to have a good year, Huang has already known his mistake, and quickly take me to see the old prince of Chengguo, such a confidential matter, Huang can only tell the old prince, please."

Wang Chong thought secretly in his heart, he must still take Luo Amin to talk about things, so he preached tentatively: "Huang Zhenfu, the old prince of Chengguo and Lord Liu, are both in the palace today, and they have been entrusted with carte blanche to deal with Wang, this is our Beizhen Fusi's matter, if there is any situation, just tell me." ”

As long as he saw Wang Chong, Huang Bingwen couldn't help but be jealous, and he didn't dare to resist at this moment, so he replied reservedly: "Lord Wang, let's go back to the yamen, and the lower officials will truthfully report to Shangfeng." As he spoke, he shook his arm, meaning that he didn't have to tie it back.

I don't know what medicine is sold in his gourd, anyway, he can't run away now, Wang Chong untied him, and returned to the Yamen of the Five Armies together.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many people followed the busy day and night, and after catching Huang Bingwen, Wang Chong let them go home for the New Year.

Huang Bingwen was escorted into the torture room, and after waiting for Wang Chong for a long time to come in, he said angrily: "Lord Wang, you are not a prisoner, you can't do this to me!" ”

Wang Chong, whose eyes were blazing, stared at him and replied, "This is the arrangement of the old prince of Chengguo and Lord Liu. ”

"Please Lord Wang retreat left and right, and the lower officials have a confidential report."

So, Wang Chong sent away the idle people, sat in front of the interrogation table, and said unhurriedly: "Now there are only you and me, if you have anything to say, you can only come to me, and I will report to Shangfeng truthfully." ”

Huang Bingwen looked neither humble nor arrogant, and replied: "I admire Lord Wang very much, and I have the opportunity to make immortal achievements overseas, which is beyond the reach of Huang." Lord Wang, we are all the pillars of the Beizhen Fusi, although there is no contact with each other, it is really a gentleman's friend, no resentment, no hatred, all are working for the Jiangshan Sheji, just because Lord Wang's merits are high in the world, so that the humble position has no place to shame, if Huang has any fault, it can only be said that the heart of meritorious service is too strong. ”

At this time, Wang Chong was still thinking about Guo Yi's mother and son, listening to him talk eloquently, and asked impatiently: "What is the entanglement between you and Cai Dezhong?" What are your secrets? ”

"Lord Wang, when he came to his father-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings, pasted Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers, bid farewell to the old and welcomed the new, and suddenly received a secret report from Dongchang, and suddenly felt that the situation was serious, and he didn't have time to report to the old prince of Chengguo, plus the meritorious service of the lower officials, so he made a proposal to arrest Cai Dezhong."

Wang Chong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, and asked, "The secret report from the East Factory?" ”

"Yes, the secret report claimed: Xuande Zhenren, the junior brother of the demon king Jin, after absconding from the palace, colluded with the criminal Cai Dezhong to plot against him, and he couldn't care about so much, so he immediately summoned his subordinates to surround Cai's mansion, who expected that Cai Dezhong had premeditated and had already entered the palace for a banquet, so he arranged for his subordinates to search in Cai's mansion.

Wang Chong never expected that Huang Bingwen would actually deduce such a paragraph, but it was also leaky, so he sneered and continued to ask: "Have you ever caught that demon Dao?" Why did he collude with a convict who was released on bail pending trial? ”

Huang Bingwen sighed and replied mysteriously: "Since the old prince of Chengguo has carte blanche to entrust Wang Zhenfu, it doesn't hurt to say that he is lowly, Cai Dezhong and the demon Dao are all related to a woman, may I ask Wang Zhenfu, during your overseas mission, have you ever heard of a woman named Luo Amin?" ”

was about to get to the point, Wang Chong became very cautious, if Huang Bingwen continued to talk about Luo Amin, according to Zhu Xizhong's secret order, in order not to leak the news, he could be directly executed, so he nodded reservedly and replied, "You go on." ”

Huang Bingwen is white, although Emperor Longqing is diligent and promising, he is indulgent and weak; The public opinion of the government and the opposition will not tolerate the emperor's acceptance of the daughter of the criminal official, Xu Jie, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and even return to his hometown for this reason, so he pretended to speak in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, it's a pity that Cai Dezhong and the demon Taoist organs have exhausted their calculations, but they have lost their lives, according to the Dongchang spies, Luo Amin is the daughter of Luo Wenlong, a former student of the Hanlin Academy, who went overseas and married a pirate leader, and even more unfortunately, she has fallen into the sea and drowned. ”

Wang Chong thinks that this news should have been told to him by Chen Yuanhua, and if Luo Amin was drowned, didn't they make a fake? So, he continued to probe and said: "I do know that she and the pirate leader fell into the sea, but more than half a year has passed since these things, what does it have to do with Cai Dezhong?" ”

So far, Huang Bingwen didn't know about the fraud, but he knew that the emperor was dead to Luo Amin, so he replied with a pretentious gesture: "According to Huang Gonggong's order, once any evil person who tries to use Luo Amin is caught, there will be no mercy!" ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "The old prince of Chengguo and Lord Liu have arrived!" ”
