"There are hundreds of people in those clans, all carrying sticks, and they are so aggressive that they want to kill people. I thought about it at the time, if they really rushed in, they would only have to run away with you, and they couldn't let you be arrested and returned to be a happy household, right? Who knew that those officers and soldiers outside just stood like this, and they frightened those clans, and from beginning to end, no one surnamed Zhu dared to step forward! It can be seen that gods and ghosts are afraid of wicked people, no matter how fierce the surname Zhu is, as long as they are really fierce to show them, they are afraid. This patrol lord is really a heroic character, and he looks so handsome, and he is still a ...... who reads."

In the room, Jin Qijie pointed at Mei Blossom Lao Jiu and described the scene of the day, Mei Ruyu sat at the head of the bed, but her expression was extremely impatient. "Seventh sister, I didn't ask you this, I asked you, did you see Brother Rulong? How about those clans go with him, I didn't bother to ask. ”

"My good girl, what are you doing when I've been out for so long? Naturally, I went to see the lover for you. When Sister Jin said this, she shook her head again. He is still a suspect, but it is not so easy to see, I wasted all my strength to finally see it, and I also pasted a few taels of silver into it. But guess what? His uncle is good, he didn't say a word, he said sorry to you for a long time, and asked you to do it yourself. It's just such a master, what do you say you want him to be? If you want me to say that it's better to follow the master, you make him a child, and give birth to a son in the future, so that you don't have to suffer here anymore. ”

Mei Ruyu stepped back, shook her head and said, "Seventh sister, you don't understand." Brother Rulong is such a person. I know he's married, he's older than me, but I just like him. Like his father, he is the kind of person who doesn't like to talk and doesn't know how to please people, but he will use everything he has to be good to you. I will never forget, he didn't know about saving me and you, every time I saw him, I always felt like I saw my father. ”

Jin Qi pursed his lips and sneered, and sat down next to her. "I see, you're a ghost. If it were me, I would never look for him. But I heard the news that one of the concubines of this patrol lord is actually Xue Rulong's sister-in-law. If this is counted, the two of you are still really relatives, and maybe his lawsuit will be saved. Didn't you notice that our food has been good for the past two days? Someone else brought us clothes and jewelry. ”

As she spoke, she pointed to the pink gauze on her body that was as thin as a cicada's wings, "Look, this dress is the means of the capital at first glance, although our Shanxi produces good silk and satin, it does not produce such good craftsmen, and it can't weave such a good look." ”

Mei Ruyu said: "Who knows how reliable this statement is, don't be happy too early." Besides, it's hard to say how much a concubine can do. I've seen a lot of things in big families, and those concubines are just playthings of the main family, and besides, he came with his wife, so the concubines didn't dare to talk more. I heard Xue Lang say that his sister-in-law was sold into the Fang Division because of an accident at home, which is a bit similar to my current fate. It's too late for such a woman to bow down and be small at home, how dare she meddle in her affairs, I am afraid that she will not succeed. What kind of man do you say this patrol press did it, he didn't interrogate me when he took my pleadings, and he didn't release anyone, what kind of man is it? ”

Jin Qi sneered, "After receiving your paper, you will be released, that is your father not Qingtian." Now there is nothing in human and material evidence, just rely on your confession, just say that Xue Rulong is wronged, and I can't even convince this lawsuit. Besides, I've seen a lot of officials in the court, but aren't they all like that in the end? If you don't give him some sweetness, why should he help you. ”

While speaking, Jin Qi's hand was on Mei Ruyu's lap and he laughed in a low voice: "Sister, the old man of the patrol has been looking at you for a long time. ”

"Seventh Sister...... Xue Lang is related to him,...... No, it won't. ”

I don't know whether it was talking to herself or comforting herself, Mei Ruyu muttered in a low voice, but her legs were already dead. At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and then the door was slammed, and a man lowered his voice and said, "Open the door, two girls open the door." ”

"It's Master Fan." Jin Qijie heard the voice and hurriedly went to open the door, but Mei grabbed her hand, "Seventh sister...... Don't go. It's too late, and it's inconvenient to let a man in at this time. We didn't hear it, and he walked away. ”

"Silly girl, can you still fight this lawsuit? If you don't open the door, believe it or not, he'll send you back tomorrow as a happy household. ”

As he spoke, Jin Qi had already shaken off Mei's hand and strode towards the door, Mei Ruyu's face was pale, her hands and feet were a little weak, she hurriedly put on her coat, looked around but couldn't find a place to hide.

As soon as the door was halfway opened, a foot wearing official boots had already reached in, and then Fan Jin's people squeezed into the door, and a rush of wine came to their nostrils. The look on his face was not as solemn as in the court, but with a little smile, his drunken eyes swirled back and forth on Sister Jin Qi's almost transparent gauze dress, and said with a smile: "What, Miss Jin is going to sleep?" The official couldn't have come at a better time. As he spoke, he went to close the door, but his steps staggered a little.

Jin Qijie said with a smile: "Where did the eldest master say that we are your people, you can see us whenever you want, how can it be time?" Slow down, I'll help you. While speaking, Jin Qijie had already supported Fan Jin's body, but Fan Jin's hand was also on her shoulder, almost holding the person in her arms. His eyes were still looking around: "What about Miss Mei?" ”

Mei Ruyu curled up in the corner of the wall, not daring to move, not even daring to come out of the atmosphere, for fear of being discovered. Sister Jin helped Fan Jin to sit down on a chair and asked, "The eldest master doesn't know what to order?" ”

"This official ...... Today I rejoiced, I ate a few more glasses of wine, and I was very thirsty. Walking through here, I want to ask you for a cup of tea. By the way, ask something. What about Mei's? Why didn't she talk back? Isn't she going to fight this lawsuit? Doesn't she know how big things have happened today? The official did not hesitate to offend the Miao descendants of the Fengzilong Sun Tianjia for her, and she refused to even salute a cup of tea, is it too unconscionable? ”

"Don't get me wrong, my lord, Miss Mei went out just now, isn't it the same that I toast your tea?" Jin Qijie blocked Fan Jin with her body, gesturing behind her back with one hand, and Mei Ruyu rushed out of the door with two ups and downs with her full strength. There was a knock on the door, and the people had already arrived in the courtyard. The heart is a little calmer, but the strength of the whole body seems to have been exhausted in the sprint, the whole body is weak, leaning softly next to the windowsill, only listening to the sound in the room through the window paper into the ears.

"What's going on? How did the officer watch someone go out of the room? Come! ”

"It's nothing, sir, you drank too much, your eyes are spent, where is the person. I'm a woman's family, and if there is someone in the room, I don't want this festival. Sir, hurry up and drink tea to relieve hangover......"

A moment later, the sound of a teacup falling to the ground sounded, and then Sister Jin Qi said in a bit of a panic: "Master...... What are you doing here? Don't be like that, you're drunk......"

"Yes, the official is drunk, so he is very thirsty. I wanted to drink a glass of plum syrup, but I couldn't wait. If you want tea, I'll drink your cup first. ”

There were a few sounds of tables and chairs colliding and tears of clothes in the room, Mei Ruyu only felt a chill all over her body, a buzzing sound in her ears, and her heart sank to the bottom. What I feared most happened anyway. The seventh sister met with herself, but she had gambled a few hands in the casino, so she first rescued herself from Lehu, and now she has paid for herself. With the ability of the seventh sister, it is enough to get rid of a drunk, and the reason why she hasn't been able to get rid of it now can only be for herself.

The woman's cry and the man's smug laughter were mixed together, like a sharp dagger, stabbing Mei Ruyu in the chest, stabbing her in pain. Looking up, black clouds obscured the moonlight, and the last bit of light in the room had been extinguished in Fang Cai's struggle. The dark night is swallowing and melting itself little by little, and there is no way out for itself.

A woman who has been practicing with her father since she was a child, but at this time she feels that she is so helpless and cowardly. With his hands on his knees, he crouched down against the wall, his head buried between his legs, and the man curled up in a ball. It's as if you can protect yourself from harm in such a posture. The voice in the room came into her ears from time to time, although the person who received it was Jin Qijie, but in Mei Ruyu's ears, it was no different from herself.

After a long time, the voice stopped, and then Fan Jin's laughter resumed: "Sure enough, it's a good horse, wait for another day the official will come to meet you." Remember, don't always let Mei out, she is still a prisoner, if she is caught by the Acting Palace, it will not be a waste of her previous efforts. Stay here...... The official kept her. ”

Soon the door rang, and then Fan Jinzhi walked out proudly with an oil lamp. Under the dim light, the handsome face looked like a demon. Mei Ruyu curled up in the shadows and did not move, until Fan went far away, she pushed open the door and rushed into the house, without saying a word, she bolted the door before lighting the oil lamp.

On the ground is the yarn that has been torn a long time ago, and on the bed is naturally the seventh sister Jin who has been stripped into white sheep. Mei Ruyu looked at her embarrassed look and felt sad, and pounced on her and said, "Seventh sister...... I hurt you......"

There were no tears on Jin Qijie's face, but she forced a smile to comfort Mei Ruyu and said, "Silly girl, what are you crying about." Sister can't even want her life in order to make friends, let alone her own body. My sister is a woman after all, it's nothing. As long as you can keep your innocence, my sister will be content. You're right, I shouldn't have opened the door. If I don't open the door, I'll be fine. ”

She struggled to get up as she spoke, and Mei Ruyu said, "Seventh sister, what are you going to do?" ”

"Go wash it...... Even if it's useless, you can always deceive yourself, right? Besides, I have to be worthy of your brother-in-law, and I can't go back with someone else's seed. You sleep, I'll come back by myself after washing. Don't worry about me, my sister's heart is not so narrow, and she won't look for a short-term view for this little thing. ”

She came to the door of the room with her clothes on, Mei Ruyu had the heart to follow, but she didn't have the courage. Looking at her heavy steps, Mei Ruyu guessed that the seventh sister was probably looking for a place where no one was crying, and at this time, it was naturally best for no one to see it. I have already humiliated her, and I can't even give her this little space.

When I came to the courtyard, I looked back at the room, and saw that Mei Ruyu didn't come out, the painful look on Sister Jin Qijie's face gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a smug smile, and she said to herself: "The Han talent is so strong? It is said that the scholar is weak, and he doesn't want to be so powerful, and the old lady is not his opponent. If Mei stays, the two of us don't know if we can restrain him. It's luck that such a good man sleeps all night, how can he cry? The woman of Daming is so stupid. ”

As she spoke, she came to the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, and her natural night eyes made her unaffected by the night. took out the eyebrow pencil that Fang had just brought out casually, wrote a few lines of text on the white cloth quickly, and then pinched his finger into his lips, and a sharp whistle sounded. Not long after, the giant eagle that had been hovering over the yamen of the procuratorate recently fell.

The bird of prey was like a domestic animal in front of Jin Qijie, and its head rubbed affectionately into Jin Qijie's arms, and the woman touched the eagle's head, "You have the same problem as a man, and you like it here." Let's go, don't miss the big thing. ”

The eagle seemed to understand the woman's words, and after she tied the note, it flapped its wings and disappeared into the night a moment later.

Fan entered the room.

Zhang Shunqing said with a gentle face: "Since Xianggong arrived in Shanxi, he has never been able to taste the taste of Northland rouge, are you satisfied this time?" Datong's mother-in-law and aunt are famous all over the world, and they must be much stronger than concubines, especially when they are suing people's daughters, you are the sky on their heads, and they dare not disobey you at all. They will have what they want, and they will be more pleasing to you men. In the future, is Xianggong going to move there to live, do you want Xia He to move the cover for Xianggong? ”

Fan Jin hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Lady spare your life!" I can't help it, if I don't pretend to be drunk this time and come to a bully to take the bow, it will be difficult for the Zhang family to pull me into the water. Then I don't know what they're doing. ”

Zhang Shunqing snorted, "Excuse!" Just a Mei family, even if you take her, what can you do? This kind of thing is not even a handle, how can I pinch you! Unless...... They have another trick. Zhang Shunqing pondered for a moment, "If they really prepare a follow-up move, this woman must be something you can't touch, and if you touch it, you have to give someone a handle, and if they hold this handle, they can let you use it." If you don't eat this set, they won't be used. ”

Fan Jin nodded and said: "Yes, it is difficult to bring down the matter of money, if it is a woman, Mei's is not weighty." If I don't touch any of that, they won't be able to control me. ”

Zhang Shunqing said: "If you can't control it, you can only eradicate it!" Most of the Zhang family has a lot of scheming, so they have to bleed the capital, and even the clan fight is involved. If they don't behave under their control, they will most likely be poisoned! ”

"The people they sent out were not simple. Jin Qijie is definitely not as simple as an ordinary woman in the rivers and lakes, in that kind of environment, she worked hard to protect the Mei family, obviously to show goodwill, but also for her own plan. She knows how to attract men, and deliberately makes a hard flower head, obviously to trap Mei's. The origin of this woman is a little strange. I have to wait for Xue Wuyi to come over, and we will listen to what she has to say. ”

It didn't take long for Xue Wu, who was dressed in night clothes, to walk in from outside, and said with a solemn face: "Sister Jin Qi should be a Mongolian woman, at least she grew up on the grassland." The ability to train eagles with one hand is superb, and it is by no means a means of the Central Plains. ”

Fan Jin shook his head and said: "She doesn't have a fishy smell on her body, it can be seen that she often takes a bath, and she also uses good incense, even ...... When he shouted that his relatives were good and good, he also spoke Chinese. ”

Zhang Shunqing glanced at him, "Naturally, he is a trained Tartar, and he is clearly the eyes and ears who came to listen to the news." If she is from the Zhang family, is it possible to become a prisoner of the Zhang family? ”

"It's definitely going to be through, but it's hard to say to what extent. Normal business interactions can't be avoided, but if it's too deep, it's a different story. ”

Xue Wu said again: "Just now Wu Xinghua reported, we arranged for the people who went to protect the clan to catch a few people who wanted to set fire, although they didn't confess for the time being, they wanted to come and have nothing to do with the Dai Wangfu." The Zhang family dragged the clan into the water again, and colluded with the Mongols, what did they want to do? ”

Zhang Shunqing said: "This kind of thing can't be guessed by guessing, you must contact them and let them believe that Xianggong has stepped into the trap step by step." In a few days, I will have a big quarrel with Xianggong, and then leave Datong to meet Wang Lao Shibo. Only in this way can the Zhang family rest assured that they can do things. It's just that the reason for the quarrel ......" She glanced at Xue Wu and stopped talking.

Xue Wu lowered his head and pursed his mouth, and after a while, he gritted his teeth: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither!" As long as you can be good to the husband, everything is at the command of the eldest lady! ”
