Such an accident was really unexpected by everyone.

However, they don't blame anyone.

Xie Jinkun is just carrying out normal business activities, and it is also filial piety to take his wife back to his hometown to save his relatives by the way. He didn't know that Xie Pu would have an accident at the time, and because Mrs. Xie didn't want to see the Xie family, he didn't go to Mrs. Xie's birthday banquet to add to the blockage, so he went straight away. At the moment, he is estimated to be still in Huzhou, at least a few days away from Jinling City, even if he rushes back immediately, it will be a few days before he can meet Wen and Xie Mulin.

And if he hadn't gotten news from the capital and didn't know that Xie Pu had an accident, he would at least have to wait until he returned to Huyin County before he could hear about it. And the premise that this situation will happen is that the Wen family wrote a letter to the people in his hometown and asked several clansmen to go to Beijing to help.

Anyway, Xie Jinkun's help, Xie Mulin and they can only give up for the time being. Xie Pu is still in prison, the women and children of the Xie family are still living in the Li family, and the matter of running to the yamen can only be borne by the Wen family, a woman in the deep house, Xie Mulin, a girl in the boudoir, and Xie Huizhi, who is still a child, they urgently need a helper, and they can't wait for Xie Jinkun to return.

Wen could only ask his men to leave a message for Xie Jinkun, and borrowed a pen and paper to write a letter, explaining his current residence, as well as Xie Pu's situation, etc., and asked Xie Jinkun to come to them after he returned.

At that time, even if Old Lady Xie would be angry for Xie Jinkun who came to the door, the Wen family would not care about it.

The group left Kunji in a huff and returned to the river. Li Shanglang called another boat, and everyone rushed to the direction of the North Gate Bridge.

On the boat, Xie Mulin once again proposed: "Since the third cousin is not here, should we go to that Lord Wen first?" ”

Xie Huizhi whispered: "But it's only past noon, and the yamen hasn't gone down yet, where can we go to find him?" I can't run to the front door of the house......"

Wen sighed: "I have met Lord Wen, when his wife was young, he and I had some friendship, but it was not deep. At this time, most of the people who were not at home were at home, so I happened to come to visit him, and when I saw his wife, I left my current address by the way. We want to ask Lord Wen for help, and tell him that it is the same. If Lord Wen had a heart, he would have come to us. If he doesn't have time, then when I go to Dali Temple tomorrow to visit the prison, I will wait at the side gate of the Yamen of Dali Temple for a while, and Lord Wen can send someone to bring me a letter. Actually, I don't have to see him in person, I just think it's ...... If he can help find out some news about the old man's lawsuit, I can't thank you enough. ”

Since this is the case, Xie Mulin did not object, and also inquired about Mrs. Wen's situation and preferences, so as not to make the other party unhappy for a while.

From the Wende Bridge across Gongyuan West Street to the Pearl Bridge, which is closest to Wen's house in General Yang Lane, there is still a long way to go, and it takes more time than when you come in the morning. And now it's already noon, Xie Mulin and his party have been running around for a long time, and they are already hungry. Li Shanglang originally proposed to find a teahouse and restaurant to eat, but Wen refused. She felt that she shouldn't waste the Li family's money now, and the silver still had to be spent on the blade.

So, Li Lang found a more prosperous and lively small wharf, let the boatman dock, and did not leave the boat, directly from the shore food stall bought some duck fat baked cakes, duck meat pot stickers, and then ordered a few bowls of duck blood vermicelli, everyone dealt with it at will, and then left.

When we arrived near the Pearl Bridge, the sun was blazing. Everyone in the Xie family was already drowsy, and they were still a little in good spirits when they went ashore, and as soon as they saw the familiar scenery, some people walked in the direction of Xie's house. After taking a few steps, they came to their senses, and when they saw the familiar door from afar, their mood involuntarily darkened.

Xie Mulin didn't make this fool, the Pearl Bridge was not much more familiar to her than the Beimen Bridge where the Li family was located, so she and Li Lang stood calmly. However, she understood the feelings of Wen and Xie Huizhi, and deliberately pretended not to find anything, and asked out loud: "I haven't been to General Yang Lane, which direction do you want to go?" ”

Xie Huizhi immediately volunteered: "I've been there, I'll show you the way!" ”

The group of them arrived at General Yang Lane smoothly. On the way, Xie Huizhi met a few familiar faces, and he either pretended to turn his head to look in other directions, or covered his face with his sleeves, and avoided them. However, he was wearing a cloth coat at the moment, and his whole person looked gray and simple, and those officials and gentlemen who were all over Qiluo rode by on a tall horse, and no one lowered their heads to look at him more, let alone recognize him.

They successfully found the door of the Wen family, but once again encountered an accident.

Lord Wen Xuyou naturally went to the yamen on a business trip, and Mrs. Wen asked her friend to go out, and she was not at home at the moment. Only an old housekeeper of the Wen family, who had seen the Wen family, also knew that something had happened to the Xie family, so he specially welcomed them into the door to serve tea and explained the situation of his master.

Wen Xuyou has been actively trying to find out the news since he heard that Xie Pu had an accident, and last night he learned that the Xie family's family members were released, and immediately hired a car with his wife to greet him. It's just that they went late, and the Xie family had already left Pearl Bridge with Li Xianglang. They lost the trace of the Xie family, and they were still in a hurry.

Wen Xuyou went out early this morning and continued to inquire about the news in the yamen. He seemed to have gotten acquainted with someone in the brocade guard, and the other party asked him some questions, and he answered them as best he could. According to what he told his family, he felt that Jinyiwei and Dali Temple still trusted Xie Pu's character, and he didn't think that the latter would be a person who was greedy for money from river workers, and Xie Pu had great hope of getting away with it.

And Mrs. Wen also went out to help the Xie family. She got acquainted with the wife of an official of Dali Temple, and was trying to find a way to inquire about the news from the other party. This afternoon, she also asked an acquaintance to go to the temple to offer incense. That lady has some in-law relations with the Lin family, and she may be able to reveal some news about the Lin family.

The Wen family and his wife were busy outside, and they didn't expect the Xie family to come to the door. After all, Mrs. Xie's taboo against them, the old people of Huyin, is already well known, and the Wen family has always been a gentle and docile character. Xie Pu was not at home, and no one expected her to disobey her mother-in-law. Although they lost the whereabouts of the Xie family's women and children for a while, as long as Xie Pu was rescued as soon as possible, the Xie family would naturally come back.

Wen was moved when he heard this, and tearfully thanked the old housekeeper again and again. Since the Wen family did not know when they would return, and there was no other master in the family who could receive them, Wen took his leave first, but also left a letter stating his current address and a brief description of the visit he had gone to prison in the morning.

On the way back to the Beimen Bridge from the Pearl Bridge, Wen changed his previous sadness and depression, and only felt that the road ahead was bright. She said to her daughter and nephew: "There are so many good people helping us, we must also cheer up and find a way to rescue the master." If we only know that we are depressed, wouldn't we have failed the trust of so many well-wishers, and the master who was waiting for us to save him in prison? ”

Xie Mulin and Xie Huizhi nodded in unison.

Xie Huizhi said to Wen obediently: "Auntie, if you have anything, just tell me!" I'm older now, I'm no longer a kid, and I can help! ”

Wen smiled and touched his head: "Good boy." There's nothing your brothers can do now, it's up to you. ”

Xie Huizhi suddenly felt full of pride and enthusiasm.

Xie Mulin began to think about a more realistic question: Should we think of a way to make some money first?
