Chapter 13 Encountering Xiaolan outside the Jifu Gate

"Young master, you're right, but we're a civilian businessman, how can we make a fuss about his identity?"

Although Liu Huayun was the commander of the local garrison, he secretly entered Beijing without being summoned;

But as long as he doesn't trespass into the forbidden land of the imperial city, and no one in the court mentions it, who can help him, after a short period of excitement, Lin Song said dejectedly.

"This is indeed a problem, but fortunately, when I visited the City God Temple today, I happened to meet a lady who burned incense, and we had a very good conversation, she had unintentionally revealed that her father was the current Fu King......

Just as Lin Feng and Lin Song were whispering in a low voice, Liu Huayun was inquiring all the way and headed towards Ji Yun's mansion.

Due to the fact that the Yang Mansion has a military field and covers an area too large, it is far away from the imperial city, in the east of the capital;

Although Liu Huayun knew the specific location, he chose Ji Xiaolan's house, which was relatively close, after all, only by going to Ji Mansion could he meet Lu Feng and others.

Besides, Liu Ruoping is not in the Yang Mansion, he is not sure, it is better to see Ji Xiaolan first and inquire clearly, and it is not too late to visit the old man tomorrow.

In this area to the south of the imperial city, there are many mansions and dignitaries, and at this moment, in the side hall of the Ji Mansion, Uncle Hua, Lu Feng, and Xu Li'er are drinking tea absentmindedly.

"Three, I'm really sorry, my lord is not at home, and my wife is inconvenient to come here to greet you!"

The little girl who went and came back glanced at these uninvited guests who claimed to be from Hangzhou, and said with a smile while adding tea.

"Sister Yahuan, you're polite, let's wait here, my young master, how dare you drive Lord Ji and Mrs. Ji......"

Just when Uncle Hua and the others were talking with Xiao Yahuan, Liu Huayun, who was walking quickly, had also walked to the street outside Jifu, but it happened that not far in front of him, there was a small sedan chair carried by four people.

"Stop the sedan chair, Brother Liu, it's really you, why did you come to the capital......"

When the two sides staggered, the person in the sedan chair inadvertently glanced at Liu Huayun, stopped the sedan chair happily, and stretched out his hand to greet him.

"Brother Ji, it's such a coincidence, isn't the little brother here to pick up Ruoping and your brother and sister and go back to Hangzhou to get married? Where did you come from? Have you ever seen my coachman and my attendant......

Liu Huayun saw that the person in the sedan chair was Ji Xiaolan, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"That's not true, my brother just finished handling official business today and hasn't returned home yet, but you don't have to worry, as long as they arrive at home, your eldest sister Ruolian will definitely let people invite them into the house......"

The place where the two met was not far from the Ji Mansion, and while laughing, they had already walked to the gate of the mansion.

"Master, there are two people who claim to be Hangzhou Liufu, and they have come to look for you with a woman, and they have been arranged by Mrs. in the side hall, you can go over ......"

The Tsing Yi little hat servant who was guarding the door, after seeing Ji Xiaolan and Liu Huayun who came hand in hand, immediately stepped forward to report.

"Okay, I know, Brother Liu, now you can rest assured," Ji Yun smiled faintly, waved his hand to signal the man to retreat, and he greeted Liu Huayun and went to the mansion.

"Master, my lord, you are here, Lord Ji, hello!"

In the side hall of the Ji Mansion, Lu Feng and Uncle Hua, who were looking outside, saw Liu Huayun with a commotionous face, and a handsome young man wearing an official uniform and hat, talking and laughing together;

Knowing that this must be Ji Xiaolan, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Wronged, Master Ji, please save my father, please......"

Xu Lian'er, who was eager to save her father, knelt down on one knee at Ji Xiaolan's feet and begged after Liu Huayun nodded.

"Girl, hurry up, you were brought by Brother Liu, if there are any grievances, in the future, if I can help, I will do my best!"

At the door of the square, Ji Xiaolan heard from Jia Ding that there was a woman who came with Liu Huayun, and thought that it was him, the holy hand of flowers, and where did he provoke the romantic debt;

But when Xu Li'er, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, knelt down and begged him, Ji Xiaolan suddenly felt that things were not so simple, and hurriedly reached out to pull her up.

"Brother Liu, where are you singing? With your relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if there is anything that cannot be resolved, why do you want this young lady to ......?"

Who is Ji Xiaolan, he can see at a glance that this woman came to beg him after he signaled, and as he spoke, he looked at Liu Huayun beside him speechlessly;

But I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, this guy grabbed Xu Li'er's big hand, but he didn't let go immediately.

"Little sister Li'er, don't worry, since Master Ji has promised to help you, your father will definitely be wronged, that, Brother Ji, let's take a step to talk first."

Since Lu Feng, Xu Li'er and the others were all fine, Liu Huayun wanted to ask about Yao Yan, Tian Fengzhao, Qianke, etc., the rebellious leaders who were escorted to the capital, and whether Liu Ruoping was in the Yang Mansion now.

"It's okay, I also have some things to discuss with you, Brother Liu, let's go to the study...... Girl, your name is Li'er, please wait here for a while......"

Ji Xiaolan let go of Xu Li'er's little hand, and she was unwilling to tear at the corners of her eyes, but her cheeks were a little crimson, and she said softly, and walked into the inner house with Liu Huayun.

The Ji Mansion is not too big, together with the side hall, the main hall, and the back garden, there are only three courtyards, but the palace of the imperial gift used to be lived by important ministers in the court, and there are all kinds of flowers, plants, bamboo leaves, pavilions and pavilions.

"Brother Liu, let's talk about it, what's the matter with the little girl called Li'er? And you entered Beijing without permission, but you committed a taboo, don't go, the Imperial City Forbidden Palace is walking around......"

In the study of the inner house, Xiang'er who sent away the tea, Ji Xiaolan asked straight to the point.

"Brother Ji, don't worry, I entered Beijing this time, but I want to take Ruoping back to Hangzhou to complete the marriage, and I will definitely not go to the imperial city for no reason, as for the little sister of Li'er, is it like this......"

Liu Huayun smiled faintly, took out the account book of Yin Xu Yun of Kaifeng Mansion from his arms, handed it to Ji Xiaolan, and at the same time, he also told him about the encounter with Xu Li'er and the escape of a large number of people.

"En~~~, there is such a thing, the rebellion in Jiangnan has not yet subsided, and the officials in Yulu and Lu are ready to move again, it seems that the prince's worries are not unreasonable......"

After listening to Liu Huayun's story, Ji Xiaolan's indifferent smile was gradually replaced by solemnity.

"Brother Ji, if Ping comes to Beijing to testify against King Fu, will there be results? Tian Fengzhao, Yao Yan, and Qianke, have they confessed......

Listening to his words, Liu Huayun knew that his original guess must be correct, otherwise, more than 20 days have passed, and King Fu should have been convicted and robbed of his home.

"Hey~~, don't mention it, it's all because my brother didn't think it through, Yao Yan, Tian Fengzhao, Kong Pei and other important criminals were all ambushed and killed by killers on the way to escort, and Yang Jiajun's son, so he lost several people......"

Sure enough, hearing him ask, Ji Xiaolan couldn't help sighing, her eyes full of remorse.

It turned out that, as Liu Huayun expected, Jiao Hong led 500 Yang family troops to escort the prisoner car to the wooden cage one day earlier, and on the second day, when he arrived in a dense forest, he was ambushed by an unknown man in black;

The opponent first detonated the gunpowder buried on the side of the road, which frightened the war horse and made the formation unstable.

Immediately, several people who had already prepared shot everyone on the spot, including Tian Fengzhao, Yao Yan, and Kong Pei, with crossbow arrows that sealed their throats with blood, at the stall where others were trying their best to attract the main force of the Yang family's army.
