"It's... Virtuous nephew, didn't you hit these pickers with your idea? Virtuous nephew, listen to my uncle's advice, picking girls is different from ordinary women, entering the birdcage is equivalent to entering the palace, if there is any difference, it is a sin of stealing the family and exterminating the family, and they are all women with bad reviews, what can be seen. Wu Dalin hesitated.

"Uncle, you think it's wrong, I'm not interested in them." Wang Yan explained.

"And what do you see them doing? Virtuous nephew, if you want to find a girl to put out the fire, and the top brand in the Qinglou is vying to get into your bed, don't make fun of these girls. ”

Wang Yan's eyelids jumped, this Wu Dalin can't think of something good!

"Uncle, I want to confirm someone to confirm whether she was sent in as a picker!" Wang Yan said seriously.

Get? Who to look for?

Wu Dalin saw that Wang Yan's eyes were firm, and he knew that he didn't care what he said, so he didn't ask, frowned, and slowly spoke.

"Virtuous nephew, don't you know, although those pickers are locked up in the county government, but the guards are all angels sent from above, and the guards are quite strict, even the people who serve the pickers are the old palace maids who come with them, and the back office has been completely isolated from them, even the people in the county government can't enter."

Wu Dalin's face was embarrassed.

"If the uncle can't help, forget it, the virtuous nephew doesn't have to look at it."

Having said that, Wang Yan's face showed a hint of joy.

Waving, Aggie brought another book.

It is also the Analects, and this one is even thicker than the one just bind.

This is the term between Wu Dalin and himself, every time he comes to do something, he is divided into two books, and the one that knocks on the door is one, and if he can do something thick, he can take it out.

If it really can't be done, Wu Dalin will directly refuse, uncles and nephews have always acted neatly, and this kind of drama will only be staged when things can be done.

The Analects were placed on the table.

The gloomy cloud between his eyebrows dissipated instantly, and Wu Dalin stroked the cover of the Analects and returned to a warm smile.

In the thin one were buried four large silver ingots of five taels, a total of twenty taels of silver, and in the thick one there were two more ingots buried, adding up to a total of fifty taels.

This is the service fee set between Wang Yan and Wu Dalin, and the process is completely a tacit understanding between uncle and nephew cultivated over the years.

The official took Aji to the side hall to wait, and Wu Dalin took Wang Yan to the back hall.

"Virtuous nephew, and change into this clothes, try to avoid looking at them, and don't let them remember what they look like."

Wang Yan quickly changed into a steward's outfit, and followed behind Wang Yan with his head down.

This time I came to the back office, but I didn't expect that there was still a distance between the front office and the back office.

Soon came across the patrolling guards.

It's one feeling to be out there and another to walk in.

Sure enough, the guards are tight, and there is a secret whistle under the corner!

It was right that I didn't rush in last night, otherwise I would have really startled the snake!

The guards guarding the door saw Wu Dalin coming with a person, and vigilantly stepped forward to ask.

"Lord Wu, what are you doing here?"

Wu Dalin slowly walked up to the guards and said respectfully, "Little General, do you remember those women who were sent in these days?" Aren't there a few women whose identities are mysterious? This kid is the steward of the Yuanyang Wang family, a few days ago, the Wang family ran a maid, and they couldn't find anyone for a few days, which happened to be the emperor's recruitment of girls, and the Wang family was afraid that the girl would get in, so he was specially sent to recognize people. ”

"Lord Wu, picking a woman is different from ordinary women, when she enters the golden birdcage, she is already the emperor's woman, even if she recognizes it, how can the emperor's woman be casually watched?" The guards simply refused.

Wu Dalin nodded to cater to him, but his body took a step forward, and his mouth was close to the head of the guard, and he whispered, "What the general said, how could Wu not know?" It's just that the lost maid of the Wang family is not an ordinary maid! A few days ago, the heavenly master who watched feng shui passed by and saw a yin qi hovering over the palace, and pinched his fingers to calculate that there were ominous people in the Wang family! Wang Yuanwai hurriedly invited the Heavenly Master in, and the Heavenly Master took the Dharma Plate and walked around the mansion, General, guess what? ”

The chief guard swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Found it! It's a maid with the fate of a lonely star! Anyone who has been with her for a long time will be killed by her! ”

"Lord Wu is laughing," the chief of the guard said with a weak heart.

"Don't dare to laugh, the palace will die the next day, and the maid who lives in the same room as the maid was found bleeding to death on the bed early the next morning! The maid with the destiny of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star is gone! ”

"Does that maid have anything to do with the girl?"

"Yes! The Celestial Master said that such a woman is a disaster star! It was necessary to soak the pig cage to avoid future troubles, and the palace privately sent people to search for several days but did not find any trace of the maid. ”

"My lord is saying that the maid may have come to apply for a girl?"

Wu Dalin nodded solemnly.

"I'm afraid that's the case, so I specially called someone from the palace to come and identify it."

"But Lord Wu, if you let the higher authorities know about this, you will be blamed?"

"O General! How can such a thing be ambiguous! If the catastrophic woman is really mixed among the talented women, the general will send this woman into the palace again, and then if the heavenly masters in the palace see out, they will give the general a charge of murdering the saint! ”

Wu Dalin deliberately paused, and the little general's face was already a little pale.

"Little general, do you say that this crime is unjust? Now that the situation in the court is complicated, the little general must know better than me, if this is used by people with intentions, not only will you be unable to protect yourself, but even your family will have to be implicated! ”

"Lord Wu! So what to do now? The chief of the guard was a little panicked by Wu Dalin's words.

"Don't worry, my lord, I won't find you a way." Wu Dalin calmly pointed to Wang Yandao not far away.

"So I specially found the steward of the Wang family here, and bothered the general to be accommodating, let him go in and recognize it, if the woman is really inside, the general will find a reason to kill her, and then recruit a new girl, if it is not inside, it would be the best!"

The chief of the guard has been shaken by Wu Dalin, glanced at Wang Yan with his head down, and secretly calculated in his heart, there is really a precedent for this kind of thing, some women with bad lives were sent to the palace as picking girls, and were seen by the heavenly master in front of the palace, and the whole team was convicted and exiled for three thousand miles, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing in this life, and the head of the leading guard was hung in front of the palace gate for more than a month.

It's goosebumps just thinking about it, and you can't take any chances.

"Then Lord Wu, you can hurry up, take a look and leave, the place where the girl is held is the same as the rules of the palace harem, if something happens, you will lose your head."

Wu Dalin nodded, beckoned Wang Yan behind him, and took Wang Yan into the back office.

The arrangement of the back office is similar to that of the front office, similar to each other, and there is no obvious difference.

Along the way, I made three turns, passed through the three-moon bright gate, and met ten patrols before I came to the compound where the guards were picking.

Walking to the front of the house, the head guard knocked on the door, and there was a sound of unlocking, and the door was pushed from inside.

The fact that the house was locked from the inside proves that the house is guarded!

The windows are all covered by yellow silk, so the light is dim.

There were ten birdcages tightly wrapped in yellow silk in the room, and on the edge was a large bed, on which four or five old palace maids sat on it, and it was very obvious that they had been here all along.

The palace maid led by her was a little surprised to see Wu Dalin and Wang Yan, but it was only a momentary surprise.

Wu Dalin looked at the golden birdcage with a sympathetic look in his eyes, but it was only sympathy.

Wu Dalin walked up to the palace maid and explained the situation.

The palace maid nodded, and Wu Dalin waved his hand to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan hurriedly walked to the birdcage.

The golden bird cage was wrapped in yellow silk quite tightly, and it could only be viewed from some gaps, just at a glance, there was unbearable emotion in my heart, these hard-working women, after half a month of torture, curled up in the corner of the cage one by one without moving, like a dead person.

One after another, they are all raw faces, and the more you go to the back, the more nervous Wang Yan becomes, for fear of seeing that familiar face, but God always likes to see your shocked expression.

Wang Yan stood up in front of the seventh cage, and his little heart, which was originally overflowing with sympathy, boiled!

Liu Yan'er! It's her, it's really her!

Wang Yan bit the bullet and didn't let his anger pour out.

Liu Yan'er closed her eyes tightly, curled up, curled up in the corner of the birdcage, her hair was a little messy, her face was pale, her lips were blue, and she didn't have the slightest anger.

The slightly heaving chest proves that she is still alive.

Lowering the corner of the curtain, Wang Yan looked at the eighth cage again, it was empty, and it seemed that there were only seven of them.

Calm and out of the bedroom.

Wu Dalin and the chief of the guard hurriedly greeted him and asked.

"Can the woman be mixed in?"

Wang Yan shook his head.

"Your Excellency, it's not in there."

Wu Dalin and the chief guard breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Wang Yan's eyes a little strangely, but it only disappeared for a moment.

Wang Yanqiang endured his anger and followed Wu Dalin out of the back office.

The captain of the guard was also relieved to learn that the woman was not inside.

Back in the front and back halls, Wu Dalin asked with concern.

"Nephew, have you found the person you are looking for?"

Wang Yan shook his head, his expression gloomy, overflowing with disappointment!

Wu Dalin has been an official for many years, and what he knows most is his eyes and polite comfort.

"Virtuous nephew, don't be sad, who do you want to talk to your uncle, and your uncle will send you a notice!"

Wang Yan barely squeezed out a smile, waved his hand, and left the county office with Aji.

Looking at Wang Yan's back, Wu Dalin, who was standing at the gate of the county government, smiled.

The atmosphere in the carriage was very cold, and Aggie, who was driving outside, could feel a hint of coolness coming from inside the car.

Wang Yan's face was gloomy, his chest was churning with anger, and he had an urge to destroy everything, if it wasn't outside, Wang Yan would have been able to dismantle the carriage!

His eyes were bloodshot because of anger, and he looked very scary, and his arms were bruised! His fists clenched and trembled slightly.

Aji's back was already soaked in cold sweat, and the murderous aura emanating from the young master's body was too strong.

Was she sincerely disgusted with herself?

In order to block your heart, you don't hesitate to put your life into it?

Didn't she know what it meant to be in the Golden Birdcage?
