Chapter 37: The Dignitaries (Part 3)
After listening to Li Hai's suggestion, Li Longshen thought it was true, and nodded again and again: "I didn't expect that your kid still knows how to use tricks, and he has a future." ”
"Boss Xie Long complimented." A smile immediately spread across Lehi's face.
"Go, follow me." Li Long said, swaggering towards the prefect's yamen.
When he arrived at the door, Li Long politely hugged his fist at the gatekeeper and said, "This brother, we are from Wuchang, and we have an urgent matter to see Miss Li in the house." ”
There were two guards standing in front of the mansion, and when they heard that they were looking for Miss Li, they were stunned.
"Miss Li?" The two officers looked at each other, and no one had heard that there was a Miss Li in the Hou House, so they said, "What Miss Li, Miss Wang, you are in the wrong place." ”
"Huh?" It will be Li Long and Li Hai's turn to be confused. No, how is this possible. Before leaving, the lord told him that he was at the yamen of the Tongren prefect's mansion.
Li Long took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, stuffed it into the hand of the officer in front of him, and said with a smile: "Little meaning, keep it for tea." That one...... Does the lord of the house have a confidant? He pondered for a long time before he came up with such a statement.
When the messenger saw the silver, a smile appeared on his face, and he put it in his arms, and said, "My lord does have a confidante. ”
"Ah...... That's it. Li Long immediately concluded that his young lady must have deliberately reported a pseudonym, which was too cunning. He smiled and said, "Brother, I don't know what the name of this confidante of your family is?" ”
"What are you asking about this?" Although the errand took the money, he didn't dare to say anything, he knew the power of his own adult, and there was nothing that he couldn't find out. In case these two guys are villains, which is not good for the people in the house, and the adults track down their heads, the taste of the chain of fire may have to be tasted.
"This ......" Li Long thought for a moment and said: "My name is Li Long, and I am the nursing home of the Li Mansion in Wuchang, please pass on the confidante to your family, and say that the old lady is seriously ill and very worried, and I hope she will go home and take a look." She knows my name as soon as she hears it. ”
The messenger received the money, but it was not easy to refuse, and he immediately said, "Then you wait." After speaking, let his companion help watch and walk into the mansion.
He was not qualified to enter the back house, so he found the chief catcher who stayed behind and told him everything. After listening to this, Tong Zhou wondered in his heart, the so-called adult's confidante, that is Du Shi Niang, Yue Su Hengjiang saved Shi Niang, he has heard the adult talk about it, could it be that this Miss Du is in Wuchang. However, how could her relatives in Wuchang know that Miss Du was in the Yamen of the Tongren Prefect's Mansion?
With a surprised mood, Tong Zhou came to the back house and greeted him in the courtyard. Du Shi Niang was playing music with Ruan Aoyue in the room at the moment, and after hearing the sound, Ruan Aoyue accompanied Shi Niang out to meet.
Tong Zhou bowed down and told the truth, and what the future people said was truthfully relayed, and Du Shi Niang was also surprised after listening to it. "My family? I don't have any family. My parents have long since died, and as for the Li Mansion in Wuchang, it is even more unheard of. ”
"Then it must be someone who made a mistake...... Tong Zhou thought about it, and felt that it was wrong, it may be possible for you to find the wrong person in another house, how could you go to the prefect's yamen to find the wrong person. Could it be that these two guys have other plans?
Tong Xuan bowed and said to Ruan Aoyue: "Madam, I think this matter is very good, do you want me to arrest someone and interrogate him?" ”
Ruan Aoyue usually heard that Yue Su was trying the case, not only majestic, but also very enjoyable, and she had long been itching. As soon as he heard Tong Zhou's proposal, he immediately agreed and said, "Escort them to the back hall, my husband is not there, let me try them." ”
"Ah......" When Tong Xuan heard this, the boss with his mouth open didn't close it for a long time, and only said for a long time: "Madam, this is ...... Isn't that a bit out of place......"
"What's inappropriate, can't a woman sit in court?" Ruan Aoyue said dissatisfied.
Not to mention, in the Ming Dynasty, women really couldn't sit in court. Tong Xuan understands the stakes, if the prefect's wife is promoted to the court for interrogation, this matter will spread out, and the impact on adults will not be small, at least he will be detained a hat that insults the prestige of the government. Madame will also be called Si Chen.
Tong Zhou knew the truth, but he didn't dare to confront him in front of him, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Ruan Aoyue saw that he was embarrassed and said: "I'll go into the house and dress up in men's clothes, it's a big deal in the hall, you are talking to you, I will try to speak as little as possible." Don't you think that's okay? In the end, she also used a consultative tone.
Madame had already given in, and Tong Xuan was not too ignorant, so she nodded and said, "That's all up to Madame's orders." ”
"Hmm......" Ruan Aoyue nodded with satisfaction, took Du Shi Niang's hand, and said, "Shi Niang, let's go back to the room and dress up, and then go and see what the purpose of the person who claims to be your relative?" ”
Du Siniang followed Ruan Aoyue back to the room, in fact, she is not at peace now. The other party claimed to be surnamed Li, could it be someone sent by Li Jia? But it seems unlikely, how can Li Jia have the cheekiness to come to her again, besides, even if he has a face, he must have the courage to do it, after all, this is the prefect's yamen. She was actually more anxious than Ruan Aoyue, wanting to see what the other party was and what his purpose was. For Li Jia, Du Shi Niang is already dead, and she has no feelings, she is just worried that she will affect Yue Su. But who knows, the person who came was not looking for her at all.
Not to mention the second daughter's disguise, Tong Xuan knew that his wife was in wide clothes, and it was inconvenient to stay in the back house now, so he hurriedly left, and when he arrived at the front, he was anxious to arrest more than 20 people, ready to be arrested, and then ordered the messenger who had just passed on to invite Li Long and the others in. "Let's just say that Miss is affectionate."
As soon as the messenger went out to tell the story, Li Long and Li Hai were very happy, thinking that the plan had succeeded, and entered the government with the messenger. Before he entered the courtyard, he didn't take a few steps when the errand officers who were in ambush rushed out and grabbed him.
Li Long was taken aback when he saw this, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and hurriedly resisted. His skills are really good, otherwise he wouldn't be able to act as the head of the Li Mansion, but Tong Xuan's ability is not weaker than him, plus there are many people, and in just a moment, he beat the two of them to the ground and tied them up strongly.
"What do you mean by that?" Although Li Long was captured, he was still screaming in his mouth. In his heart, he believed that Li Qiongying had ordered them to do this. Could it be that the scheme has been discovered?
"What the, what do you mean, you'll find out when you get in!" An errand officer was just punched by Li Long, and his nostrils were bleeding, and now he sees that Li Long's hands and feet are tied, how can there be any reason not to retaliate. scolded, then raised his leg and kicked it, and firmly put it on Li Long's backbone, which hurt so much that Li Long snorted.
There were four errand officers who had eaten Li Long's fists and feet, and the other three saw their accomplices do it, and the chief catcher didn't scold, what are you waiting for, step forward and give Li Long a good meal. Li Long was so wronged, he thought to himself, this young lady is too bad, and she even played such a trick, so she can't be put in prison after a while. That's really eight lifetimes of blood mold.
Seeing that the errand officer was almost angry, Tong Xuan stopped at this time, estimating that Ruan Aoyue should change her clothes and ordered Li Long and Li Hai to be escorted to the back hall.
Transferred to the back office, Ruan Aoyue and Du Shi Niang happened to be disguised, rushed to this side, and met at the door of the back hall. The servants pushed and shoved, beating and kicking the two guys into the back hall, Tong Zhou asked people to move two chairs, and asked Ruan Aoyue and the second daughter to sit down at the lower head, Yue Su's main seat, and no one else was allowed to sit.
Tong Xuan stood in front of the public case and shouted to Li Long and Li Hai, who had been kneeling down by the servants: "What is your surname, where are your people, you two are here to deliver news, what is the conspiracy in it, and you will not give me the truth!" ”
In the end, it wasn't Yue Su who tried the case in the court, and the servants on the left and right were also very active, and someone immediately shouted: "Be honest, tell the truth quickly, otherwise you will be able to understand the power of our Tongren Mansion!" ”
Li Long and Li Hai complained bitterly in their hearts, but now there is no other way but to tell the truth.
"This poor master, his name is Li Long, his name is Li Hai, we are the nursing home of Wuchang Li Mansion, and my lord is called Li Wenzhang. The two of us were ordered to come here to pick up my young lady, whose name is Li Qiongying, and it is said that she came with the prefect Yue. ”
"Your young lady came with my adult Tongren, you can really talk nonsense with your eyes open!" Seeing that these two boys dared to slander their own adults in public, how could Tong Xuan not be angry, and shouted: "It seems that if you don't let you taste the taste of the board, you two will not be honest." Brothers, call me! ”
"Yes!" The servants agreed, picked up the board and were about to greet Li Long and Li Hai.
"Slow!" Ruan Aoyue, who was sitting on the side, suddenly shouted. She saw that what Li Long said had a nose and eyes, and it didn't seem like a lie, so she hurriedly stopped it.
After all, it was the prefect's wife, and Tong Zhou always had to give some face, shouting: "Stop first!" Then he turned his head to look at Ruan Aoyue and said, "What do you command?" ”
Ruan Aoyue deliberately said in a deep voice: "If I ask them two more questions, they can't answer, and it's not too late to be punished." After speaking, without waiting for Tong Xuan to respond, he asked: "You said that your young lady came to Tongren with my family, what evidence is this, who saw it?" How old is your young lady, is she on the road with Lord Yue alone, or is there another entourage with you? ”
In the end, it is still a woman who is careful, when she saw Li Qiongying, her intuition told herself that this "Brother Li" seemed to be a woman dressed as a man like her original self. However, she didn't say a word, because she had no feelings for Yue Su, so she didn't care about anyone around him. She also learned about the origin of "Brother Li" from Yue Su and Tie Qiu, and vaguely remembered that they seemed to have met outside Wuchang City. Now the person who came reported that it was Wuchang Li Mansion, and after thinking about it, he contacted "Li Ying".
"My young lady is twenty-nine years old, she and Lord Yue came to Tongren, but no one saw it with their own eyes, but my master said so. As for who is around the young lady, there is only one maid named Lan'er. What I said below is all true, if Miss is not in your house, it is really our recklessness, a lot of offense, and I hope to forgive me. Let me wait until I return to the house, and I will definitely convey it to my master, and Bo Yi will be presented. Li Long just wanted to get out, in addition to telling the truth, he also picked up good words.
Ruan Aoyue nodded slightly, in terms of age, it just matches "Li Ying", and the number of people is just the same, it seems that it is really not a coincidence. She thought for a moment and said, "Tong Xuan, you ask someone to invite Brother Li who lives in Zhongjin. ”
