Xie Mulin didn't know what the Zhuguo General's Mansion was, but when she heard Xie Huizhi say this, she quickly retrieved the relevant information from Xie Yingzhen's memory.

The Xiao family, the general of the Zhu State, is also a big force in the capital, and Xiao Mingde, the general of the Zhu State, is in charge of the camp in the west of Beijing, and he is a big man in the army who holds the power of the army, but his actions are not as flamboyant as the Cheng Enhou of the Cao family. However, the relationship between the Xiao family and the Cao family is somewhat complicated, and it is generally not very friendly.

This is not only because the heads of the two families are all powerful figures in the army and are quite influential, but also because Xiao Mingde's own sister is a concubine in the palace and has a third prince, who is quite favored. Don't look at Xiao Guifei's etiquette in front of the queen, the relationship between the third prince and His Royal Highness the crown prince is also very harmonious, in fact, Queen Cao is very uninterested in Xiao Guifei, and often asks the prince not to get too close to the third prince, so as not to be calculated......

Xie Ying is really a weak girl, and she is restricted from socializing intentionally or unintentionally, and she doesn't know much about the outside world. But because of such a complicated relationship between the Xiao family and the Cao family, she could hear some news about the Xiao family from other people in the family or from her subordinates. Although most of these news are biased towards the negative, some objective facts are generally not biased.

For example, Xie Yingzhen knows that General Zhuguo has two sons and two daughters, and the eldest son Xiao Cong has been crowned a son, and he is also an adult, as early as last year, he entered the camp in western Beijing with his father, and he is a well-received young talent in the capital, and a rising star, that is, Xie Huizhi, who often plays in one place, "other people's children", even the descendants of Chengenhou Mansion and Pingnan Bofu are difficult to look forward to.

As for the second son, Xiao Rui, it is said that he was born to a concubine, and some people contemptuously call him a maidservant son, and under the light of the excellent eldest son, he was suppressed silently. Some people say that he has no ability, just an ordinary person; Some people also say that he is an out-and-out gentleman, and he is very unpopular with his father and mother; Some people also said that he was jealous of his mother-in-law and was deliberately suppressed to the point that he couldn't get his head, but in fact he was quite talented......

Whether these rumors are true or not, Xie Yingzhen is only regarded as gossip and anecdotes, and forget it after hearing it. And Xie Mulin now thinks about it, but he feels that the rumors are quite meaningful......

This Second Young Master Xiao, just looking at his appearance and temperament, doesn't he seem to be an ordinary person, is he really pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? But whether it is a pig or a tiger, the dignified son of the general's mansion came to Dali Temple to do a small errand service, which is too exaggerated. Was someone calculating him, or was he doing it on purpose? Could it be that it was for the "Huiwu Young Master" that he mentioned before with that "Changbo"?

Xie Mulin's mind was racing, and many thoughts had flashed through his mind, but his face did not show anything, he only looked at that Young Master Xiao curiously, to see how he answered.

However, Young Master Xiao did not answer.

He just smiled faintly, then turned around and led the way: "Come with me, don't look around, and don't pay attention to the other prisoners in the prison." ”

Is that okay too?

Xie Huizhi was stunned again, but he couldn't do anything with Xiao Rui. Even if he is only a Dali Temple errand officer at the moment, he is still the son of the general's mansion. Even when the Xie family was safe and sound, Xie Huizhi was not qualified to yell at others, not to mention that the Xie family was in trouble right now, Xie Huizhi was in prison in Dali Temple, and he had to look at people's faces to see his father. He could only shut his mouth depressedly, and found that the second sister Xie Ying was really glaring at him with both eyes, so he knew that he was talking secondly, so he could only shrink his head and follow the second sister and follow Xiao Rui to the cell in the west.

Xie Mulin carefully followed Xiao Rui and walked in the corridor of the cell, quietly observing the surrounding situation.

This Dali Temple prison is cleaner than expected, and the environment is more strict. The people locked up here are not hooligans and petty thieves, but officials at all levels, or children of official families. These people do not say anything indecent to the female relatives who come to visit the prison, but there are those who are unwilling to submit to the law or who do have grievances, and when they see individuals, they shout loudly "wronged" and "let me out", and some of them even look like crazy, which is quite frightening.

Xie Mulin and Xie Hui walked all the way, and were scared a few times along the way. Xie Huizhi's children's family is estimated to have encountered this kind of thing for the first time, and they were frightened, and their little faces turned pale. Although Xie Mulin was also taken aback at first, but later he got used to it, and it was okay, so he thought he was playing a simple version of a haunted house, and it was not as dark and scary as the haunted house.

Xiao Rui, who was walking in front, had been very calm, as if he was used to this kind of thing. He didn't say anything to the Xie family sisters and brothers, but silently led the person to the destination and shouted: "Lord Xie, someone is coming to visit you." So he gave way and stepped aside.

Xie Mulin looked inward through the wooden fence of the cell, through the dim light, and saw only the back of a man, wearing a white middle coat and a slightly messy bun on his head, sitting cross-legged on a wooden bed, facing the direction of the wall, not knowing what he was doing. Hearing Xiao Rui's words, the man turned around, but it was the appearance of his father Xie Pu in Xie Yingzhen's memory, but he was a little haggard than usual.

Xie Mulin was stunned for a moment, and before he could call anyone, the third brother Xie Huizhi couldn't help but lose the quilt first, rushed forward and grabbed the fence and cried: "Father! At the same time, tears rained down.

Xie Pu didn't expect that it was the two children who came to visit him, so he hurriedly got out of bed and walked quickly to the fence: "Why did you come?" But something happened at home?! ”

Xie Huizhi cried loudly. After all, he is still a child, heartless, carefree for eleven years, no matter how neglected and cold treatment he is at home, there is always a father on top, sheltering him from the wind and rain, providing him with fine clothes and food, and his grandmother will also do superficial work. Now that his father is in trouble and his mother-in-law has turned her face, he has realized what it means to be warm and cold, and how can he not be afraid after a few days of so-called hard life without food and clothing? So as soon as I saw my father, I couldn't help but cry aggrieved.

Although Xie Mulin can understand the feelings of the third brother, he does not have his sadness. She picked up the quilt, put it in front of the fence, saluted Xie Pu, and said dignifiedly: "Dad, the family has been released now, and they are no longer imprisoned at home." Uncle Niang took the eldest brother and sister back to Pingnan Bofu, my mother and I served the old lady, and took the rest of the people to Sister Qiao's husband Li Xianglang's house. Now the family is fine for the time being, and there is food and clothing, but the second brother is seriously ill and is still unconscious, and the fourth brother and fourth sister are also sick and need to ask a doctor to take medicine. In addition, when the eldest brother and sister were separated from us, they were also a little unwell, especially the eldest brother, who was also knocked unconscious by Gui Zhen, and now I don't know what to do, I need to have the opportunity in the future to find someone to inquire. ”

Xie Huizhi put away his crying suddenly, and turned his head to look at Xie Mulin: "Second sister, you ......" Aunt obviously said that there are some things that can be hidden......

Xie Pu also looked at his second daughter in a daze: "What? True sister, what did you just say?! His mind was in a mess, and he only grabbed the most shocking sentence, "You said Gui Zhen knocked your eldest brother unconscious?!" ”

Xie Mulin replied expressionlessly: "Yes." As soon as our family was released, Pingnan Bofu sent someone to pick up his aunt. The aunt only took away the eldest brother, eldest sister and Gui Zhen, and the others were all left behind. She claimed that the daughter of the Cao family could not be in the company of guilty people, so she had to reconcile with her father and return with a pair of biological children. The eldest sister has always listened to her aunt's words, so she followed at that time. The eldest brother was unwilling, so he was knocked unconscious by Gui Zhen and taken away. The third brother wanted to step forward to save the eldest brother, but he was vigorously pushed to the ground by the people of Pingnanbo's Mansion. ”

She raised her eyes to look at Xie Pu: "Last night, if it weren't for the ungrateful old maid sister of my mother's former and let her husband come to pick us up, I am afraid that our family, the old and weak, women and children, from the old lady to the seriously ill brothers and sisters, will all be forced to live on the streets and be homeless." ”
