The sun has risen, sweeping away the cold wave of the previous few days, bringing a touch of warmth to the world.

Xie Mulin carried a small bag containing clothes and medicines, Xie Huizhi carried a quilt tied with rope, and the sisters and brothers followed behind Wen's, followed Li Shanglang, who led the way, got on the boat rented by the latter, and walked in the direction of the inner city government office.

This time they were still by water. It's just that today's trip took much longer than last night.

They crossed the Pearl Bridge by boat, and saw from a distance that there were soldiers guarding the door of their mansion, and although there was no seal, no one dared to approach a single step.

After crossing the Pearl Bridge, they crossed several bridges in a boat, and turned the river in a place where they could see the palace wall in the distance, before continuing on their way.

This section of the road, Wen and Xie Mulin are unrecognizable, Li Shanglang didn't say much, but Xie Huizhi quietly told Xie Mulin: "This section should be Qingxi, and you can go forward to the Qinhuai River." I've been on a boat before! ”

Xie Mulin glanced at him, didn't say anything, but was thinking in his heart: This ancient official family is really not particular, who is Xie Huizhidu mixed with? How old is he? is not yet twelve years old, and he actually went to the Qinhuai River for recreation.

Xie Huizhi's biological mother died early, his aunt Aunt Dajin still had her own children, the Wen family in the second room was inconvenient to take care of him, and the Cao family, who was a mother-in-law, was not well-intentioned, supporting a virtuous empty shelf, and did not take the upbringing of the concubine to heart at all. When Xie Pu gets rid of his crime safely this time, she, as a sister, should have a good talk with her father and bring her younger brother back to the right path. Even if you can't write or martial arts, you should find something to do and find something to learn. At a young age, I ran around outside all day long, eating, drinking and having fun with people, what was the point?!

Xie Huizhi didn't know what kind of fate he would face, he was also very young and big-hearted, seeing the beautiful weather today, and he was still in the mood to introduce Xie Mulin to the scenery along the road, the road he recognized, the mansion of his wine and meat friend, and the familiar restaurant shop, all of which were also pointed out to Xie Mulin.

Xie Mulin regarded it as a way to know the way, and memorized all the information that she could use, and secretly felt that she was just right at this age, and her memory was the best at this time, and everything could be memorized firmly as long as she recited it two or three times.

On this trip, they did not take the Qinhuai River, but went ashore at the wharf near Baixia Bridge (Dazhong Bridge). Li Xianglang told Wen: "The next thing is to rely on." There is no waterway in front of the yamen, and the wife and the young master are afraid that they will be tired. Wen said it didn't matter, she wasn't afraid of being tired, anyway, she didn't know the place at all, and she trusted Li Xianglang, just follow him.

Li Xianglang took the quilt in Xie Huizhi's hand, Xie Huizhi took the burden in his sister's hand, and Xie Mulin helped Wen to walk. After walking for a long time, I finally arrived at the Yamen of Dali Temple before the three poles of the sun.

The prison was inside the yamen, and it was entered through the side gate on the west side. Li Xianglang had inquired about people in advance, and he also knew who to look for, so he went to the side door first, talked to the official who was guarding there, invited a slightly more decently dressed messenger to come out, respectfully introduced himself, and said the name of the acquaintance, and then stuffed a small cloth bag over, which was convenient and understood.

The messenger smiled and wrapped the small cloth sleeve and said, "It turns out that this is a little thing, easy to say, easy to say." Since you are a relative of Brother Wang, I naturally want to help with this favor. Come in and sit down, and I'll ask you. ”

Seeing that things were going well, Li Shanglang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around to inform Wen. Wen also breathed a sigh of relief. Xie Mulin asked in a low voice, "How much silver did Brother Li give him?" Li Shanglang just smiled: "Don't worry, Mrs. gave enough before." ”

When did Wen give him silver? However, Xie Mulin remembered the two pieces of jewelry, so he didn't ask any more.

They entered the side door, passed through a courtyard with no people, and reached the courtyard where the prison was located.

The prison in Dali Temple is cleaner and neater than Xie Mulin imagined, and there are fewer people. And the messenger led them to the eaves by the door of the main hall, and motioned for them to sit down on a bench in the corner, and went in to ask them.

Li Langlang took a look at the surrounding environment, and said to Wen's: "Madam, you can take Miss Young Master in a while, I'll just wait outside." Sister Zhang Qiao told him in advance, if there is nothing wrong, don't follow Wen into the prison to visit him. After all, the Wen family wanted to tell Xie Pu what happened at home, for fear that Xie Pu would not be able to get over his face, and it would be embarrassing for him to watch from the side. Li Lang thought so.

Wen hurriedly agreed. Although she was accompanied by someone, she would not be too flustered, the two children were still too young, but when she thought of telling Xie Pu about Cao's self-invitation and departure, she felt that it would be better if there were no outsiders present.

Anyway, Li Xianglang is also an insider, so let's save some face for my husband.

After the messenger went in, there was no movement for a while, Xie Mulin couldn't help but look around, but found that the messenger was no longer in the hall, and the official messenger who was talking to him was sitting behind the table drinking tea. She secretly felt strange in her heart, and was about to ask Li Lang if he knew what was going on, when she heard someone crying out of the cell on the west side.

It was an old man, dressed like a decent housekeeper in a big family, with gray hair, hunched over, raising his sleeves to cover his face, and crying so pitifully. He was followed by a young man dressed as a servant, helping him to walk, and whispering to comfort him: "Grandpa, don't worry, the eldest young master will be fine, don't cry." ”

Walking on the other side of the old housekeeper was a young man dressed as an official, who was also comforting the old housekeeper: "Uncle Chang, don't worry, I have already come in, and I can be mixed up in the yamen of this Dali Temple, and I will take care of Huiwu more." You don't have to worry that he will be hungry and cold here, or be bullied by others, but on the side of Qishanbo, you have to find a way to persuade him more. As long as Qishanbo is willing to save his son, Huiwu will be able to get out soon. ”

Na Changbo cried: "Young Master Xiao, our eldest young master has a friend like you, it is really a blessing from the previous life!" In order to help him, you even did an official errand. Even if it's for your friendship, after our eldest young master goes out, we can't continue to mess around! ”

Young Master Xiao smiled, comforted him a few words, and ordered Changbo's grandson to help him and leave. When he turned around and saw the three of the Xie family's mother and son, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Xie Mulin had a straight face with him, and he could see his appearance clearly.

This young man has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a long body, broad shoulders and long legs, a straight waist, and a special spirit, looking at his age, he is about the same as Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi, but his gestures, words and actions are completely different from the officials next to him, as if he is a crane strolling in the grass pheasant flock.

Xie Mulin couldn't help but look at him twice.

Young Master Xiao also looked at her twice.

Wen and Li Xianglang were both paying attention to the movement in the front hall, Xie Huizhi was rubbing his somewhat sore shoulders, no one noticed the eyebrow lawsuit between the two, but Xie Mulin always felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.

Immediately, the sound of footsteps in the front hall broke the strange atmosphere.

The messenger who led the way came out and asked, "Is this lady's maiden family surnamed Wen?" It's the family of Governor Xie, right? Our right Shaoqing, Lord Lu, please. ”

Wen and Xie Mulin couldn't help but be stunned.
