Changyang Town Post House.

"Father-in-law!" Huang Shao led people to break in in a hurry, and soon found Huang Xian Ling, who was drinking tea in the hall.

"Shao'er is back?" Seeing him enter the hall, Huang Xian Ling smiled kindly, "How are things going?"

"Father-in-law, please save Jun'er!" Huang Shao knelt directly in front of him and kowtowed hard, his head hitting the floor with a clang.

Huang Xianling was taken aback, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up: "Why is Shao'er like this?"

"Father-in-law," Huang Shao raised his head, his face full of pleading, "My brother was wrongfully imprisoned, and as a result, Danyang was conscripted, and General Yu Cheng was unreasonable, and came to Qimu Town without saying a word, and took all the prisoners away to fill the army." Pity my brother Jun'er is also among them, beg my father-in-law to save Jun'er!"

On the day Diao Jun was taken away, Huang Shao led people to chase for a long time, but he couldn't catch up, and he could only stay in Qimu Town for one night due to the heavy rain.

The next day, he rushed back to Changyang Town non-stop to ask for help from Huang County.

Listening to Yizi Huang Shao's detailed description of this matter, Huang Xianling's face became a little ugly. After pondering for a long time, he spoke: "Shao'er, it's not that your father-in-law won't help you." That Zhichong general Yu Cheng's status is prominent, and he is a descendant of my Qiguo generals. Even if the righteous father comes to visit himself, he is afraid that he will not take it seriously. Not to mention asking him for someone, it's difficult~"

"Father-in-law, the child and Diao Jun have been dependent on each other since childhood, like brothers. Don't see him go to the battlefield, there is no life or death!" Huang Shao kowtowed vigorously, knocking loudly, "Please also ask your father-in-law to save Jun'er!"

"Get up, don't kowtow to the manly man!" Huang Xianling felt sorry for him, and hurriedly helped him up again, preventing him from continuing to kneel. After thinking about it carefully, he sighed, "Shao'er, is your brother really so important?"

"Jun'er is like a child's own brother!" Huang Shao nodded hurriedly, "If he can be saved, he is also your righteous son." Both of us brothers will honor our father-in-law for the rest of our lives!"

"This ......" Huang Xianling was a little moved. For him, who has no children and no daughters, he must be very happy to have two righteous sons to support his old age.

It's just that it's really impossible to ask for someone in the hands of General Yu Cheng!

Unless......

After thinking for a while, Huang Xianling gritted his teeth: "In this case, my father-in-law has let it go! I will send someone to send my treasured calligraphy and paintings, as well as some gold and silver accumulated over the years, to Danyang, hoping to buy off the housekeeper of the General's Mansion." If someone from the General's Mansion helps to speak, there may be a glimmer of hope. ”

"Thank you, father!!" Huang Shao saluted gratefully.

"Someone!" Huang Xian Ling nodded and shouted outside.

"Father-in-law, Shao'er wants to go to Danyang in person and come back with Jun'er. Huang Shao hurriedly said.

Huang Xian Ling looked at Huang Shao, who was full of determination, heard the footsteps, turned his head to look at his henchman who came in from outside, and thought for a moment: "Okay! Zhu Huan!"

"Sir. The henchman stepped forward and bowed to the end.

"You go and take out my treasured map of the mountains and seas of Wang Jushi, and then take out most of the gold and silver I have accumulated over the years, and go to Danyang with the young master to redeem people!" Huang Xian Ling ordered, "You must try to pass the housekeeper of General Zhichong's mansion and beg him to say good things to General Zhichong." Be generous when you dot up, you know?"

Henchman Zhu Huan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hurriedly replied: "Got it, master!"

"Thank you, father-in-law, then I'll get ready and set off quickly. Huang Shao was impatient.

"Wait!" Huang Xianling raised his right hand to stop him.

"What does my father-in-law command?"

"Shao'er, let Zhu Huan prepare first. Huang Xianling said, "My father-in-law has another important thing to explain to you. Zhu Huan, you go and prepare everything first!"

"Yes!" the henchman respectfully stepped back, leaving only the father and son in the hall.

Huang Shao bowed his head and stood in front of Huang Xianling, looking particularly well-behaved.

"Shao'er, when you go to Danyang to redeem people, your father-in-law will definitely do his best to help. Huang Xianling hesitated and said, "But...... Stepfather, there is also a very important matter here, which you need to do when you pass through Nanagi Town. ”

Hearing this, Huang Shao replied without hesitation: "Although the righteous father commands, no matter what happens, Shao'er will definitely go all out." ”

"Very good!" Huang Xianling stood up with relief and patted him on the shoulder, "That's right, my father-in-law is a clean breeze when this county order, and he never greeds for people's fat and people's cream." But there is a lot of work in the officialdom, and it is very difficult to do without this money! Especially now, in order to let you ransom people, my father-in-law has taken out all his previous savings, and it will not be easy in the future!"

Huang Shao was slightly stunned, and then bowed: "My father-in-law just orders, as long as it is not murder and arson, breaking the law and discipline, Shao'er will not hesitate." ”

"My father-in-law is a county parent, how can he let his children do murder and arson, breaking the law and discipline?" Huang Xian Ling frowned slightly, revealing displeasure.

"It's the child who said the wrong thing. Huang Shao hurriedly corrected.

"Shao'er, an official like his father-in-law needs a solid backing so that he will not be replaced, and even have the opportunity to be promoted. Huang Xian Ling said seriously, "And this backing is silver." Coincidentally, when you went to Qimu Town yesterday, a wealthy family in the town came to propose marriage, saying that they wanted to take over a family with their father-in-law, which is the so-called marriage of interests. The family can provide the father-in-law with all the funds in the officialdom, and the father-in-law only needs to give a little authority and benefits to do business within the scope of his ability. If you want to change the past, the father-in-law will definitely not be able to do it. But now with you, I can say yes. ”

"Huh?" Huang Shao was dumbfounded, a little incredulous, "Father-in-law, I ......"

"Child, you have not married because of your poor family, which is also a matter of concern for your father-in-law. Huang Xianling said, "You should listen to the words of your parents." However, your stepfather will not embarrass you. If you don't want to get married for the time being, your stepfather won't force you. Think about it and give your stepfather an answer before you go!"

"This ......" Huang Shao's heart was in a mess, very chaotic.

Qiao Xi's appearance suddenly appeared in his mind, and since he saw her face, his heart was full, and he could no longer tolerate a second person.

I had the intention to refuse, and I wanted to rebel against my father, so he didn't hesitate to take out precious calligraphy and paintings and a large amount of gold and silver, just because he wanted to save Jun'er.

He treats himself like this, does he accept it with peace of mind, but does not help his father-in-law in the slightest?

But except for Qiao Xi, he really can't tolerate anyone in his heart.

However, the stepfather treats him like a parent, and he has to turn a blind eye when he has difficulties? If this is the case, what face does he have to take the money from his stepfather to save Jun'er? The more he thinks about it, the more entangled, the more painful he becomes, and Huang Shao's face is quite ugly.

"Jun'er, if you don't want to, your father-in-law won't persecute you. Even if the marriage fails, the stepfather can barely mix in the officialdom for a few more years......"

"Father-in-law, I ......" Huang Shao struggled even more in his heart, and it was really difficult to make a decision.

"Well, it seems that you are not happy. Huang Xian Ling sighed slightly, "That's okay, this time, you will go to Qiao's house in Qimu Town, and you will avoid this marriage with Master Qiao in person......

"Qiao's family?!" Huang Shao's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this, "Father-in-law, which Qiao family are you talking about?"
