To tell the truth, Gou Gong deliberately said those words, his intention was just to persuade Xie An, after all, Xie An waited with him by the stone bridge for more than an hour, during which he didn't know how many women who came and went, and then waited until Su Wan came as promised, but in less than a stick of incense, Xie An left the beauty in three sentences or two, Xie Anzhong didn't say anything about what he wanted for the time being, at least Gou Gong felt that this matter was very wronged.

Moreover, Gou Gong could also see that although Xie An kept saying that he was very reluctant about this matter, in fact, Xie An was quite concerned about walking around the streets with Su Wan and watching the lights and snow, otherwise, he would not have waited at the date place early.

But Gou Gong never thought that Su Wan's master and servant would really encounter villains......

"What? ――Your young grandmother hasn't come back yet? ”

Hearing Gou Gong's persuasion, Xie An and the others hurried back to the stone bridge and found the Lu family's carriage that was still waiting near the stone bridge, but it was confirmed from the coachman's mouth that Su Wan's master and servant had not yet returned.

"How is that possible?" Xie An couldn't believe it when he heard this, you must know that he came one step later than Su Wan and their master and servant, and now that they both have returned to Shiqiao, how can it be that Su Wan's master and servant have not yet arrived? Even if a woman's steps are slow, she won't be so slow, right?

Seeing that Xie An seemed to be a little anxious, Gou Gong persuaded, "My lord, there may be a lot of pedestrians on the street, so I asked him to take a fork in the road, I might as well go back the way I came and look for a ......."

Xie An nodded when he heard this, and returned the same way with Gou Gong, but unfortunately, the search was fruitless, and there was no trace of Su Wan's master and servant everywhere.

Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in Gou Gong's eyes, and he pointed to something on the side of the road and said, "My lord." That's not ......"

Looking in the direction Gou Gong pointed, Xie An was shocked to see that there were several children on the side of the street, playing with a floral paper umbrella, which was exactly the same as the one in Su Wan's hand.

Xie Anxin chuckled, as far as he knew, Su Wan had a certain fetish like the eldest grandson Xiangyu from a certain point of view, and the eldest grandson Xiangyu liked fans. If you don't hold it in your hand, you feel uncomfortable, while Su Wan likes floral oil paper umbrellas, and she must hold one in her hand when she goes out, the scorching sun is for shade, and the rainy day is for keeping out the rain.

Not. It's not so much about her preferences as it is about her careful and cautious portrayal.

Therefore, just as the eldest grandson Xiangyu would never put the fan in her hand casually, Su Wan would never throw away the paper umbrella casually, even if she was extremely angry because of Xie An's relationship at the moment.

Could it be that as Gou Gong said, he met a villain?

Thinking of this, Xie An couldn't help but ooze a little cold sweat on his head. After a few steps, he stepped forward, and under the panicked eyes of those children, he squatted down and took out a silver ingot of ten taels from the money bag in his arms. He said in a deep voice, "I have ten taels of silver in my hand, and whoever tells me where to get this paper umbrella will belong to whoever it is!" ”

Even though the children were still young. But they also know the value of silver ingots, and they rush to explain why. Among them, a little girl said, "It's an older sister's ......."

As soon as the words fell, a man who seemed to be around thirty years old ran over from among the vendors who were setting up stalls on the street, hugged the little girl, and scolded in a low voice, "What nonsense? You little bunny, you want to kill your whole family, don't you? As he spoke, he turned to face Xie An, and said with a smile, "This son, it must be these little rabbit cubs who are restless and steal other people's things......"

It's a pity that even Gou Gong can't deceive this kind of perfunctory lie, so how can he deceive Xie An?

Seeing a little anger in Xie An's eyes, Gou Gong stepped forward and said in a low voice, "My lord, hand it over to the lower officials!" As he spoke, he squatted down, took out the official badge of Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple from his arms, looked at the man and threatened him very severely, "Believe it or not, the official threw you into the prison of the Great Prison Temple, tortured you, and made you die inside?" ”

"Big ...... The Great Prison Temple...... Shaoqing ...... "Looking at the official card, the man seemed to have his vertebrae removed, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground with a look of fear.

How could he imagine that one of the two people in front of him who seemed to be dressed as a prince of a family was actually Shaoqing of the Imperial Court Prison Temple.

"Don't recruit it quickly!" Gou Gong rebuked angrily.

I have to say that it may be that Gou Gong has killed a lot of people before, and his murderous aura is no better than that of an official like Xie An, who even kills chickens and has to borrow people's hands, only bluffing the man trembling.

"Little ...... Small...... Fang ......" pointed to the alley next to him, the man looked shocked and stammered, "Fang Cai, there is a carriage parked here...... The little one saw that there were several men dressed as guards next to the carriage, and one of them threatened the little one that if he dared to speak out, he would kill the whole family of the little one......" At this, he glanced at Gou Gong in fear.

What kind of person is Gou Gong, that is one of the leaders of the Dongling people who made trouble in Shandong at the beginning, when he heard this, he snorted coldly, and threatened in a deep voice, "If you swallow and vomit again, the official will make you understand what life is better than death!" ”

When the man heard this, he seemed to be frightened, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy again and again, "Little ...... The little one didn't dare to hide it, it was those men dressed as guards, who forcibly took the owner of this paper umbrella into a carriage and took it away, it was a rather beautiful rich woman, and there was a dexterous maid ring beside her......"

It must be Su Wan's master and servant......

Xie An and Gou Gong glanced at each other when he heard this, Gou Gong nodded in understanding, stood up and walked to the alley, squatted down and touched the ground where there were still traces of the carriage wheels, and then returned to Xie An's side and nodded towards Xie An.

Seeing this, Xie An asked in a deep voice, "What kind of carriage?" Where are you heading? ”

"I only know that I went to the east, but I don't know how small it is......"

Xie An frowned when he heard this, after all, Jijing is a big place, how can he find that carriage in a short time?

Noticing Xie An's anxious look, Gou Gong pinched the man's left shoulder, pinched and dislocated his shoulder, and scolded angrily, "Don't say it yet?!" ”

The man was only covered with cold sweat in pain, and cried and begged, "The little one really doesn't know......" Speaking of this, he glanced at Gou Gong, who was becoming more and more murderous in his eyes, and hurriedly said, "By the way, there is a wooden sign hanging in front of the carriage, and the small one seems to see the three characters engraved with [Ruyang Wang]......"

King of Ruyang?

Xie Andang even recalled the arrogant and domineering carriage convoy he encountered on Chaoyang Street when he took Gou Gong to the Lu family in Nangong Mansion a few days ago......

Come to think of it. Xie An's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he gritted his teeth and scolded, "What a gut! -- The woman who actually moved me Xie An! ”

"......" Gou Gong looked at Xie An stupidly when he heard this, he wanted to say that the woman was the young grandmother of the Lu family, but looking at Xie An's angry face, he finally chose not to hear it.

Standing up slowly, Xie An took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said. "Li Xian, this is not me Xie An's trouble! - Gou Gong, call someone! ”

Gou Gong nodded, stood up, and took out a delicately crafted piccolo from his bosom. Put it in your mouth and blow it, the flute sound is not sharp, but it is long, not like an ordinary rhythm.

After a while, only a few sounds were heard, and a few black shadows crossed over the houses on both sides of the street, and then jumped down to Xie An. Knocking on the ground and clenching his fists, one of them turned out to be the captain of the Jinyi Wei Division of the Beizhen Fusi, Mo Fei.

"The third. How could you be around? Gou Gong looked at his brother Mo Fei in surprise, and then suddenly realized in his heart, presumably the eldest grandson Xiangyu was quite concerned about the affairs of Xie An and Su Wan, and sent his cronies Mo Fei to secretly monitor the two. Otherwise, Mo Fei who is in the inner court of the palace. It could never be right here right now.

Although he felt a little unhappy that Mo Fei was secretly monitoring him and Su Wan wandering the streets, but in this situation, Xie An was quite glad that the eldest grandson Xiangyu had this trick, and looked at Mo Fei and said in a deep voice, "King Qiuyang, King Hengyang, King Liyang, King Ruyang, I don't know which guy who doesn't have long eyes moved me Xie An...... cough, kidnap Su Wan, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, call someone to inform Ding Qiu, call all the secret agents of the Fu Division in the south and north towns, and then call Di Bu, and then ask the guards of the Weiwei Temple Patrol Division to dispatch in the name of the official, and give the government the daughter-in-law of the Lu family Su Wan to find me in the shortest possible time...... When necessary, at all costs, if there is anything, you have your own house! ”

Mo Fei nodded wordlessly, and with the secret agents under him, jumped on the roof and disappeared into the night.

And at this time, the man was almost completely frightened, after all, from Xie An's tone, it was not difficult for him to hear that the son of the family in front of him, who seemed to be only ten years old, didn't even pay attention to the prince, and when he thought that he still had the intention to hide it, he couldn't help but soften in fright, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "The adult spares his life, the adult spares his life, and the small one does not mean to hide it......"

Before he could finish speaking, a silver ingot worth ten taels rolled in front of his eyes.

"Even if it's a doctor, go heal your arm!" Under the man's surprised gaze, Xie An turned to leave, after all, since the beginning of the square, the nearby passers-by paused to look at this side.

"Let's go, Gou Gong, the government wants to see which guy who doesn't have long eyes dares to move my Xie An's woman in such an indiscriminate way!"

That's not your woman......

"Yes!" Gou Gong smiled bitterly and hurriedly followed, in his opinion, Xie An was really angry this time, otherwise, he would not have been angry and called Su Wan, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, his own woman.

-- At the same time, the inner suburbs near Zuo'anmen in Jijing --

With a burst of laughter coming from nowhere, Su Wan, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, was pulled off the carriage.

Here it is......

Su Wan looked around in surprise, she found that in addition to her master and servant, there seemed to be many young and beautiful women who had been forcibly taken here, one by one with a panicked face, holding a wine jug with trembling hands, and pouring wine for the four well-dressed men who seemed to be dressed as sons of a family.

Suddenly, one of the men sighed, shook his head and said, "Three virtuous brothers, Ji Jing is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it seems that such an illegal thing must be investigated afterwards, listen to the words of the foolish brother, it is better to let them go, so as not to cause trouble......

This one who is older among the four is the son of Li Yi, the king of Qiuyang, Li Bo.

"Brother is too worried," Li Chi, the youngest prince of Ruyang, pouted and said, "I can look up to them, that's their blessing...... Hey, the wine is spilling outside! Clumsy, can't even pour wine? Bai has a lovely face! As he spoke, he reached behind him to one of the women who was pouring wine, and the woman was shocked to retreat.

"Yo, where did you find such a little beauty?" The four princes, Li Jiong, the prince of Liyang Wang, seemed to notice Su Wan's master and servant, hooked his fingers and said with a smile, "Untie them for them!" ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, a guard stepped forward and untied the ropes on the hands of Su Wan's master and servant.

With her hands out of trouble, Yingmei, the maid of the Lu family, tore off the cloth ball that was stuffed in her mouth. Protecting his young grandmother behind him, he said sharply, "Do you know who my young grandmother is?" How dare you do such a thing! ”

"Oh?" Li Jiong, the prince of Liyang, raised his eyebrows, smiled and said, "Could it be that the little beauty is still a great character?" Tell me about it? ”

Yingmei glared angrily at the disciple who was not far away who was contemptuous of his young grandmother in words, and said, "My young grandmother is the daughter-in-law of the Lu family in Nangong Mansion!" ”

"The daughter-in-law of the Lu family in Nangong Mansion?" Li Bo, the prince of Qiuyang, was stunned when he heard this, and was about to speak, but saw Li Jiong, the prince of Liyang, standing up. While walking towards Su Wan's master and servant, he said with a smile, "Oh, it turned out to be Lu Fan's short-lived ghost's daughter-in-law...... Hey, that kid is really good. Married to such a little beauty......" As he spoke, he grabbed Su Wan's wrist, sniffed it gently, licked his lips and said, "Hmm, it's so fragrant......"

Su Wan was shocked and angry, and struggled hard. But two guards pressed her shoulders and made it difficult for her to move.

"Brother Xian, stop!" At this time, Li Yi, the king of Qiuyang, Li Bo stood up and said with a frown. "It's okay for ordinary women to play, this woman can't move! ――You must know that the Lu family is one of the four towns in Jijing! ”

"That was in the past," Li Jiong, the prince of the King of Liyang, smiled when he heard this, and stroked Su Wan's face with his left hand. said with a smile, "The current Lu family." It's no longer the beginning, Lao Tzu was defeated, his son died in battle, what kind of face does this Lu family have to call themselves the four towns of Jijing again? Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, looked at Su Wan and said in surprise, "Huh? As far as Your Highness knows, your husband Lu Fan, the short-lived ghost, led the army to leave Beijing to quell the rebellion on the day he got married, right? So, the little beauty is still perfect? ”

Su Wan was shocked and angry, and reprimanded in a coquettish voice, "Presumptuous! -- My husband died on the battlefield and sacrificed his life for the country, how can you and other disciples be humiliated? Let go of the concubine and the women here, otherwise ......"

Otherwise, when my brother-in-law, the powerful of the dynasty, and Xie An, the secretary of the criminal department, learns about it, I will have to wait for you to look good!

After all, Su Wan still couldn't say this, after all, she and Xie An were very unhappy, where did she have the face to mention Xie An's name.

But then again, if Su Wan can say the name Xie An, I'm afraid that the four royal princes present will have to weigh it, after all, the most prestigious magnate in Li Shou's court at the moment, in addition to Li Xian, the king of the Eight Sages, is also Xie An, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"How else?" Li Jiong, the prince of Liyang Wang, sneered and said indifferently, "Your Highness is not afraid of your father-in-law, the defeated general, what is Your Highness afraid of him?" As for your dead husband, could it be that he will crawl out of the grave? ”

To tell the truth, Su Wan didn't have any love for Lu Fan, and she was only grateful to the Lu family for avenging her, so she was committed to marrying, which made Xie An still linger in her mind, but for her father-in-law Lu Song and her husband Lu Fan, Su Wan still has great respect, especially her husband Lu Fan, who sacrificed his life for the country on the battlefield, is really a loyal and good general, if she wants to complain, it is that her husband Lu Fan died too early, so that she became a widow as soon as she joined the Lu family.

But even so, Su Wan couldn't tolerate a few gentlemen insulting her deceased husband, so she snorted when she heard the words, spat on it, and spit on the face of Li Jiong, the prince of Liyang.

“…… What a guts! Wiping the saliva off his face with his left hand, Li Jiong, the prince of Liyang, showed a little anger in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "I can't see it, I'm still a stubborn little beauty, His Royal Highness likes ......" As he spoke, he grabbed it with his right hand, and Su Wan's shirt was torn in half.

"You...... What are you doing? Su Wan was shocked when she saw this, but her body was restrained and it was difficult to move, and the maid Yingmei next to her came over to push her, but she was pushed away by Li Jiong, the prince of Liyang, and fell to the ground.

"Hmm, it's really a beauty......" Looking at Su Wan's body a little looming, Li Jiong, the prince of Liyang, laughed lewdly, and was about to violently peel off the clothes on this woman's body.

Seeing that head was getting closer and closer to her delicate body, Su Wan was ashamed and annoyed, and her eyes couldn't help but be covered with a layer of mist.

Xiao An......

Come and save me......

With a momentary reaction, Su Wan couldn't help but think of Xie An in her heart.

"Hey, hey, don't cry little beauty," seemed to notice Su Wan's moist eyes, Li Jiong, the prince of Liyang, said with a smile, "Your Highness will love you well later......"

Before the words fell, only two screams were heard, and the two guards who were pressing her shoulders behind Su Wan immediately fell to the ground, blood flowing from their throats.

Then, in an instant, Li Jiong, the prince of Liyang, sensed something cold and pressed against his throat.

It was a bright scythe, and it was still dripping with red blood......

"What? Stab...... Assassin? The faces of the four royal princes were shocked, especially Li Jiong, the prince of Liyang, who looked at the black-clothed man in front of him in disbelief, looked at the fierce murderous intent in his eyes, and swallowed his saliva.

"Who?!" Li Shao, the prince of Hengyang, shouted in a deep voice.

As soon as the words fell, there was an angry shout not far away.

"Your grandfather and me!"

Then, a man with a frosty face walked out of the dark shadow in the distance, it was not Xie An, who was it?

Seeing the familiar person, Su Wan couldn't care about anything else, ran a few steps, threw herself into Xie An's arms, and couldn't stop crying, thinking about it, she was really surprised by indescribable surprise, otherwise, he, who had always cared about his identity, would never do such a thing that violated etiquette.

"Xiao An, I'...... Xiao Ann ......"

Looking at the beauty crying in his arms, Xie Anxin was not only surprised, but also angry, thinking about it, he also understood how frightened he was that made Su Wan so disrespectful of her appearance.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here......" The kind words comforted Su Wan a few words, Xie An turned his head to look at the four stunned royal princes, gritted his teeth and said, "What guts, you ...... a few of you"

Accompanied by Xie An's cold words, only to hear a loud sound, a large number of black-clothed assassins emerged around, surrounding Li Bo and the others, and there were hundreds of them.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven in Jingshi, there are so many assassins?

Seeing the many black-clad assassins who had come here from all directions, the four royal princes who had just arrived were completely stunned.
