Chapter 46: The Sound of Wind and Rain in the Night (1)
Xu Shen was not imprisoned in the county jail, but was confined to his home...... In the hall, guarded by a group of people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the past, this was the place where he set up a banquet to entertain guests, and when he did not make it clear that he had a bad relationship with the Wang family, there was an endless stream of people who interacted with him, but now except for Sun Runnian, who can be called a confidant, and others will often come over, but others have gradually broken off contact, and it is the home of Yixing Xu, and there is no news so far.
In fact, for the family, Xu Shen is not hopeful, Yixing Xu, who has become a joke among many families, is notoriously snobbish, everything that is not good for the family, will be decisively abandoned, Yixing Zhou is a lesson from the past, and now, Xu Shen is like this, even if he himself is from Yixing Xu, but now it seems that he has been abandoned.
Just now, the uncle and nephew of the Huiji Yu family were also there, although they had a conversation, Yu Zimei's tone was as always, and she did not change because she caught Xu Shen with her own hands, and even smiled and said: Yu Nanzi will still marry into the Xu family...... How obvious is this meaning, the disposition of the imperial court did not sit with Xu Shen's family, but looking at it, Xu Shen's son ...... Don't say it, this is clearly indicating that Xu Shen, you are finished, and your family property is our Yu family's.
Xu Shen could only sulk, although his heart was full of bitterness.
One wrong step, one wrong step.
What hope can he have, the hall is empty, and those valuable objects such as calligraphy and paintings have already been transferred to the Wen brothers and the Yu family as a thank you gift, so he is trapped in the central position, looking around, all of them are guards, aside from his original identity, as far as he is concerned, he is nothing more than a middle-aged literati who is powerless, can escape from the guard of these soldiers?
Apparently impossible.
He could only sit there stunned by himself, looking out through the window, looking at the slowly moving clouds in the blue sky, not even thinking about it, and really didn't think that anyone could come to himself—as a county guard, in his career, he had never seen the man who was caught trying to rebel escape.
There was a sudden commotion outside, and after a while, the door was opened, and a woman walked in.
is not a beautiful woman, the years have carved a lot of traces on her body, and there is a big gap between her and those singers and dancers in the house.
"Lang Jun." The middle-aged woman stopped in front of Xu Shen, pursed her lips, and after calling out her name, she didn't know what to say.
Xu Shen was indeed a little surprised, he didn't expect that at this time when he was most frustrated, his wife Zhang, who had been treated coldly by him, appeared in front of him, he raised his head and looked at Zhang, and saw that she was covering the sun, and there was a light behind her, but her face was a little dark, so dark that even the wrinkles were blurred, and this woman seemed to be young again.
"Why are you here?" For a long time, he held back the surging in his chest, trying to keep his eyes open to avoid tears from flowing, "What about Lang'er?" ”
"Lang'er is in his room, and although there are people watching outside, he can move around freely." Zhang didn't explain why he came over, but his eyes were a little dull and he looked away from Xu Shen and looked at the military guards around him.
Xu Shen was a little impatient, lowered his head, and seemed to be seen by his wife, who had been neglected, who had been snubbing him, which made him very unhappy, and said in a cold voice: "Have you finished reading?" Let's go after reading it. ”
"Hmm." Zhang didn't refuse, nodded and turned around and left, then stopped in front of the door, didn't look back, and said softly, "Fang Cai, Wen Huan took advantage of the chaos to escape, and I don't know what the situation is now." ”
Xu Shen smiled and didn't answer, about that little concubine Wen Huan, if she couldn't find out about her recent changes, she would really be a fool, or if she left, you don't have to worry about it.
He didn't know when he was going to go, and he didn't know what the situation was outside, whether Sun Runnian had done something to the Wang family; Xu Heng has already dissociated himself from it; Puxiang Zhenren will react when he learns the news of himself; On the family side, what kind of thoughts do you really want to abandon yourself...... None of this is known.
Time passed quickly, and through the window, the light became dimmer and dimmer, except for the reason that it was close to dusk, and the sky was also somewhat overcast, and there were more and more clouds, but they were gloomy and unrendered by the colors.
The door slammed open again, and then, I saw Wang Ningzhi walking in, but he didn't intend to speak, he turned around here and planned to leave.
"Is it to identify yourself as a winner?" From the time Wang Ningzhi came in, until he was about to leave, Xu Shen's eyes kept hitting him, and he didn't ask for a long time.
Shaking his head, Wang Ningzhi approached Xu Shen, in that direction, following Xu Shen's gaze, looking out the window, he did not laugh rampantly as Xu Shen imagined, but said with some pity: "There is nothing to be proud of, I was also forced to make a move, didn't I?" Without Xu Lian's incident, you and I wouldn't have many opportunities to communicate, let alone make enemies, but Lao Xu, you really made a mistake, your personal consciousness is too strong, but I feel that I was a little implicated at the beginning, so I want to do something to the Wang family......"
"It was just an opportunity." Xu Shen interrupted Wang Ningzhi's exclamation, "Because the Wang family brought down the Yixing Zhou family, it made the Xu family a laughing point...... However, Wang Shuping, as a gentleman in the academy, you are really a bit condescending, you should go to the official ......"
Wang Ningzhi waved his hand and smiled a little mockingly: "An official in this era?" Forget it, a lazy person like me can just teach or something for a lifetime. After speaking, without waiting for Xu Shen to continue speaking, he turned to leave, and said to the surrounding warriors at the same time: "You go to dinner, and a different group of people will come in." ”
The soldier responded, followed and walked out, closed the door, and Xu Shen was the only one left in the empty hall, tied with his hands and feet backhanded, even if his hands and feet were numb because he had maintained a posture for a long time, he didn't move, but he didn't worry about running away - Xu Shen tried a few times, but he couldn't untie it, so he could only give up and continue to look up at the sky.
It didn't take long for a group of four soldiers to walk in, Xu Shen took a casual look, and when he saw that the first one was a new face, he didn't pay much attention to it.
However, the expected silence never came, and these soldiers did not make a loud noise after they came in, but the sound of rustling kept disturbing his purity. Xu Shen looked over, saw a familiar face, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Madam? ”
Four soldiers: Zhang, the old man of the porter, and two strangers, said to be strangers, but now they are carefully identified, but they can also be seen to be the slaves and maids of the original house.
"Shhhhh......h......hh Those four people have been knocked unconscious just now, and they won't be discovered for a while, Lang ...... Jun, hurry up, Qian Wu will take you out. ”
"Madame......" Xu Shen was a little cold with his hands and feet, a little dumbfounded by what was happening in front of him, and at the same time felt very absurd - this is his wife who has been snubbed by him for many years, originally very discordant, but when he was in trouble, he took such a big risk, on the other hand, the concubine he loved, but he was the first to escape, this comparison really made him feel cold. But fortunately, he knew that now was not the time to be cranky, so he hurriedly took off his coat with the help of Zhang, put on the clothes of a warrior, and then watched Zhang point to Qian Wu, the old man of the porter who was unintentionally taken as a slave by himself.
Qian Wu, maybe until now, he didn't know his name.
"You hurry up, Qian Wu is very familiar with the path in the house." Zhang put the clothes Xu Shen took off on himself and looked at him deeply, "If you can escape, you can escape, don't worry here, you ...... Be sure to live! ”
Xu Shen nodded heavily, followed Qian Wu, who led the way in front, and walked out of the side door, but he didn't see the guards, I don't know if they were dealt with, or if there were no guards at all, he didn't have time to think about it, so he ran with Qian Wu.
Although Qian Wu is old, he walks a little quickly, and he is extremely familiar with the grange, where someone seems to have figured it out, and when he meets someone, he walks slowly, even if he is interrogated, he can cope with the past, just like that, he walked all the way to a very remote area, which is very close to the place where the slave and maid live, and the closer he gets, the more he exudes a smell.
Until a half-person-tall small mouth in front of him was revealed, Qian Wu stopped and said breathlessly: "Lang Jun, don't mind, on weekdays, only the villain who cleans the latrine here will enter and exit from here, and no one else knows about here, from here, there is a path, follow the path, you can get out." ”
"You ......"
"Lang Jun saved my life, now it's just me saving Lang Jun's life, there's nothing wrong with it, Lang Jun don't get entangled, let's go."
Xu Shen raised his head, the sky was overcast, as if a storm was coming, and said, "Take care." ”
