Outside the palace gate.

In addition to the officers and soldiers patrolling the yamen, the local yamen also joined the ranks to maintain order. These people have always believed in the principle that more things are better than less, not to mention that if the matter involves the palace, if they don't do well, they will be dragged into the water and blamed, and they will not take the initiative to come to find trouble. Obviously, their arrival was at the behest of their respective yamen, and the struggle between Fan Jin and the Dai Wangfu would definitely not be involved, but they would definitely pay attention to it. From Fan Jin's announcement to the siege of the palace, these yamen pretended to be deaf and dumb on the surface, but they were actually watching with their eyes wide open. This time, Yamen was willing to send people to maintain order, which was actually a kind of statement.

"It is unlikely that the local yamen will openly stand up and sing against the palace, but that doesn't mean they don't have a stand. These people are extremely cautious in such matters, and do not come out casually to show their inclinations. The most normal way to deal with it is to pretend to be blind, as if you didn't see anything, and don't know anything at the end, at most bear the laziness of each other, and there won't be too much trouble. And this matter itself is also very dangerous, so many people, once someone is unfavorable to the palace, it will be difficult for the yamen to come here today. Under such circumstances, the willingness to send officials here to maintain order is enough to prove the position of these yamen. ”

At the back of the team, in a carriage, Fan Jin pointed to the team and said to Mei Ruyu. As a native of Datong, Mei Ruyu knows the power of the Acting Palace, if it weren't for Zhu Naixuan's obstruction, she and Xue Wenlong would have become husband and wife long ago, and they would not have made trouble like today. Now looking at this dense crowd, Mei Ruyu's heart fluctuated, and an inexplicable sense of expectation came to her heart, and she imagined the next moment when this boundless wave of people smashed through the high walls of the palace and submerged the entire palace of Daiwang. Even though she knew that this would not happen, she was still excited by this longing, her breathing became short and rapid, and her hand tightly grasped Fan Jin's sleeve.

"They...... Can they rush in? ”

"Of course not. If they rushed in, these yamen would immediately write a memorabilia to impeach me, saying that I had deliberately caused a popular rebellion and ransacked the palace. No matter how much Zhang Jiangling protects me, he has to dismiss me from office. In fact, Zhu Naixuan is also very aware of this, so he has no fear. He is used to being arrogant, and he is sure that I don't dare to do it, and he will never hand over anyone. ”

"And what's the use of this battle?"

"If they don't rush in, the people of the palace won't come out. With so many people here, who would dare to send them to death? Moreover, the materials from outside are not expected to be transported into the palace, and I can find a hundred reasons to restrict the entry and exit of their materials. Except for a small amount of grain and fruit, don't think about anything else in it, and don't think about anything inside. ”

Mei Ruyu is a child of a military family after all, and she understands it at once. "Siege? The old man wants to starve this son of a bitch! She usually pretended to be virtuous in front of Fan Jin, she was so depressed that she was very uncomfortable, and she was so excited that she actually exposed her true nature, her face changed, and her expression was a little frightened.

Fan Jin held her hand and smiled, "That's right, it was raised by this bitch who starved to death." Pu Ta Eminem! He doesn't look at me, I don't give him some color, I'm a bully. Even if I don't dare to starve the vassal king, but there are so many people in the palace, how much food a day to eat, and how much garbage to transport. I made him incomprehensible inside and out, who of Zhu Naixuan's subordinates can bear it? Of course, he won't hand over people now, and after a few days, I finally want him to send people out of the house with his own hands, obediently bow his head and admit his mistakes, and beg me to withdraw from the siege. I have already blocked the drainage channel of the palace, no one has entered or exited for two days, and the feces have stinked to him! ”

His dirty words made Mei Ruyu's panic disappear, and the distance between the two was shortened. Fan Jin is an easy-going person after all, he doesn't have much at home, and he also responds to Mei Ruyu's requests. Mei Ruyu, who is used to seeing rude men in Datong, has never been in contact with this kind of Jiangnan scholar before, and as she gets along for a long time, she has some feelings in her heart.

At this time, listening to him talk about how to subdue Zhu Naixuan's design, Mei Ruyu couldn't help but compare him with Xue Wenlong. When Zhu Naixuan coveted himself, Brother Wen Long was also willing to stand up for himself. But all he could do was not to give in to Zhu Naihyun, wound the minions he sent, and fight those lackeys. On the surface, he didn't suffer a loss, but in fact, if the two couldn't get married, it was already a failure. As for Fan Jin, forcing the palace to the point where it can't go up and down, it's even more unthinkable.

The text is better than the martial arts, and the pen is stronger than the sword.

She remembered these two words that her father often murmured when he was not dead. At that time, I couldn't understand what was so terrible about scholars, but at this time I realized that scholars could do far more than martial artists. At this moment, Fan Jin's body was extremely tall, like a majestic mountain, which could shelter her from the wind and rain and withstand all injuries and crises. Recalling that day, in order to resist Zhu Naixuan, he also had to make a move, and fought with Xue Wenlong against the palace, but now most of them don't have this opportunity. Originally, she liked the experience of fighting side by side with her sweetheart and beating the enemy. Even after the fight, the wound hurts, and it is also a kind of happiness to secretly rub the medicinal oil by yourself. But now she felt that it was not necessarily a bad thing to be able to snuggle in the arms of a powerful man and let him solve problems for herself.

It's already his person, it's time to accept his fate.

Mei Ruyu's heart was spinning with thoughts, but the feeling of sadness was not as good as before, and even when Fan Jin's hand was on her shoulder, she took the initiative to snuggle in the man's arms, and her movements were extremely natural.

"The palace handed over people, and there was no face. Although we can't do anything about Zhu Naixuan, we are happy to win this time. ”

"Once? How is one time enough? Fan Jin teased with a pun: "This is just the beginning, the real killing move is after he hands over someone." If I don't nail Zhu Nai-hyun this time, I'll have his surname! ”

Although Mei Ruyu didn't understand where Fan Jin came from to kill a feudal king to be attacked, she had a hunch that Fan Jin would definitely be able to do it if he said so. And such a man may be qualified to be the master of his own destiny, and he may be destined to be called his woman from the moment he walks into the yamen.

"Old Nine, when will the seventh sister leave?"

Just when Mei Ruyu was thinking nonsense in her mind, Fan Jin's words pulled her back to reality. In the past two days, in the name of helping Mei Ruyu tie up the man, Jin Qijie has also joined their ranks. Taking advantage of Fan Jin's joy, he asked for a customs clearance document, saying that he was going to take the horse gang out to do business.

Regarding Sister Jin Qi's move, Mei Ruyu was actually not satisfied. At first, she felt that she had caused Sister Jin Qi to be violated because of herself, and her heart was full of guilt. Judging from her reaction at the time, she was also in pain, which made her feel more and more sorry for her. But now she looks like she is enjoying it, and she is even more active than herself, which makes her a little strange, whether it was Fan Jinqiang or she herself was willing at that time.

At the beginning, he dedicated himself because Xue Wenlong's attitude made Mei Ruyu's heart cold, and she gave up on herself in an emotional way, wanting to make Xue Wenlong uncomfortable in a self-destructive way. He also thought of using his body as a weapon to take revenge on Xue Wenlong and cut off his way forward. Yu Fan Jin felt nothing in his heart, she didn't care what woman he had anything to do with it. But now seeing Jin Qijie's unrestrained appearance and laughter, Mei Ruyu felt inexplicably angry in her heart, and she couldn't wait to slap Jin Qijie in the face.

For her benefactor, of course, she can't take revenge, and she can't even tell where this feeling comes from. On the surface, she and Jin Qijie are still sisters, but in their hearts they are far less close than they were at the beginning. Hearing Fan Jin ask, she felt a sour feeling in her heart inexplicably, and blurted out:

"I'm not her mother, how do you know what she thinks? If the lord is reluctant to give her, he will marry her as an aunt, and she will not have to sell horses. But let me be clear, she has a husband. ”

Fan Jin smiled and whispered in her ear, "Are you jealous?" ”

"Ah...... No...... The slave family did not dare. Mei Ruyu realized that there was a problem with her attitude, for fear that the man would think that she was pampered and arrogant, so she hurriedly defended herself. I'm just reminding my lord that she's different from me. ”

"yes, she's not like you. I know your roots, and I can find out your origins, but for this woman, it is like a fog, and I can't find any situation. This man is like water without roots, not knowing where it comes from and where it ends. How much do you know about her? ”

Mei Ruyu heard the meaning of Fan Jin's words, and it didn't seem that she had any intention of Sister Jin Qi, and she felt a burst of happiness in her heart. "I know that she is the leader of the horse gang all the way, there are more than 100 people under her command, her husband is very cowardly, he usually doesn't speak, and he doesn't dare to ask what the seventh sister does. The seventh sister is very bold and generous. I've gambled a few times in my gambling stall, and it doesn't matter if I win or lose. ”

"What kind of friendship do you have?"

"At that time, it was just a nodding acquaintance, until I was sold to Lehu and drugged, thanks to the seventh sister who came to save me, I was able to save my innocence." Mei Ruyu's face flushed slightly, "The rest of the things are known to the master." I shouldn't have eaten Seventh Sister vinegar, if it weren't for her, I would have been ruined by Zhu Naixuan's dog now, maybe the end would be worse than Yan Hong. If the master wants to accept her as an aunt, I can open my mouth to help the master talk about it. Her husband is very useless, give some money, and probably agree to everything. ”

"I'll just ask, you're thinking too much." Fan Jin smiled, "Actually, even if something really happens to you, it's not your fault." A woman does not mean that whoever occupies her body becomes someone's woman, nor does she fall into a certain place, and she is destined to not be able to turn over for the rest of her life. You owe her a favor, and I will help you pay it back. I sent her the paperwork, and when I left, I gave her a sum of gold and silver, which was also regarded as compensation for her when I slept with her. As for taking her as a concubine...... I never thought about it. A woman who doesn't know the roots is not qualified to enter my house. ”

Mei Ruyu felt an inexplicable burst of ecstasy in her heart, in fact, there were many women around Fan Jin, but Jin Qijie was the yamen who entered at the same time as her, unlike others who became Fan Jin's women long before Mei Ruyu appeared. Now hearing that the seventh sister is out, Mei Ruyu's heart was relieved and then tightened, and she looked at Fan Jin tremblingly and asked:

"Master, you promised me that you would accept me as a ...... Concubine. ”

Fan Jin leaned his head into Mei Ruyu's ear and whispered, "Lao Jiu, I'll tell you a secret." I've always felt very sorry for you, and I shouldn't have tried to rejoice myself that day, taking your innocence. The reason why I don't do this ceremony is to give you the opportunity to choose. If you are willing to be my concubine, of course I will give you a title. If you don't want to, I won't force it. You can go wherever you want, even if you want to be with other men, I will fulfill you. You can think about what I just said, and don't think that you are no longer worthy of pursuing happiness because of what has happened. I'm sorry for you, so I'll compensate you, and if you want a new chance, I'll give it to you. ”

Mei Ruyu's heart moved when she heard this, although she took the initiative at first, but after the two had a relationship, she actually became Fan Jin's woman. It is impossible to remarry someone else, even if the man doesn't care about her past, she can't leave if Fan Jin doesn't let her go. Now Fan Jin's words are promising to give her a way out, and with Fan Jin's power, it is not difficult to marry her sweetheart.

At this moment, Mei Ruyu's shadow flashed in her mind, but immediately, she was replaced by the man in front of her. Compared with the suffering of the past and the days of pampering now, plus the wood has become a boat, she is not a woman who sees innocence as nothing after all. Even if he marries Xue Wenlong, the relationship with Fan Jin will become a thorn in the gap between the two and will always exist. She grabbed Fan Jin's arm violently and blurted out:

"Concubine...... The concubine already has the flesh and blood of the master, and the master can't do without me. ”

On the other side of the line, the Zhang family's carriage passed by far away and bypassed. The four ends of the carriage sank like water, and the brows were tightly locked. Zhang Sixiang asked puzzledly: "Second brother, isn't this something that has been calculated a long time ago?" Fan Jin will definitely be able to win against Zhu Naixuan, otherwise why should we help him? It's all a sure thing, why are you worried? Could it be that you still have a friendship with Zhu Naixuan? ”

"What do I have with him? I'm just scared. ”

"Afraid of whom?"

"I'm afraid of Fan Jin."

Zhang Sixiang didn't know why he said, "What is Fan Jin afraid of?" ”

"I'm afraid he'll do the same to us. If this scene happened in Puzhou, what do you think we can do? ”

Zhang Sixiang was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he shuddered, shook his head and said, "No...... This will definitely not. ”

"Self-deception is useless. We know what our family has done, how much better can it be than Zhu Naixuan? I'm looking forward to Zhang Sheng inviting Xin Ai's soldiers as soon as possible, and then I'll talk about breaking Datong first. If it weren't for that slut to get his hands on it earlier, and control Fan Jin in our hands, no matter which way it goes, in short, I'm already a little worried about putting such a quick knife outside. ”

Zhang Sixiang smiled, "Second brother, in fact, you don't have to worry too much. No matter how big Fan Jin's ability is, he also has his own weaknesses. I remember my father taught us that as long as a person has weaknesses, it is not difficult to deal with them. He's so astringent, just this shortcoming can ruin him all! The more powerful he is, the more useful he is to us, Xin Ai does not dare to send troops, and it is Zheng Luo and his generals who are afraid of him. The more powerful Fan Jin is, the more sure he is of cleaning up Zheng Luo, and our plan can succeed. ”

Zhang Siduan sighed and said, "I hope so." Sharpening the knife is not good, and the knife is hurting. There is no way to have both worlds, Fan Jin's magic knife, I hope it won't hurt us. ”

The carriage drifted away, and the two stopped talking, only arranged for someone to listen to the news here.

At noon, someone in the palace tried to go out, but was stopped by the people. No one outside could enter, only a small amount of rice, vegetables, and fruits entered the palace, and the amount was only enough for ten people a day.

From time to time, someone in the palace tried to break in and was captured by the people.

Dozens of people from the Honor and Guard Division were expelled with knives and guns, and were disarmed by the officers and soldiers of the Yamen of the procuratorate.

At the time of You, the head of the palace, Shi Qi Shijun, begged to see Fan Jin, but stopped the people, but failed.

At that time, the side door of the palace opened, and a large number of carts went out, and the goods on them seemed to be living creatures, struggling. The people cheered.

The next day, the siege of the palace was lifted, and the yamen of the procuratorate issued a notice to hear the cases against the palace, and the people were welcome to hear the trial.
