Chapter 34: Night

When everyone was denouncing Chen Ziren, they saw a person at the front door going straight to the second gate of the nunnery.

Looking at the figure and costume, it looks like a person who practices martial arts. Master Ming's heart trembled, and he stepped forward with his hands folded and asked, "This benefactor, come here at night, I don't know why?" ”

The man spoke respectfully, folded his hands and saluted: "My son-in-law went out to the nunnery in the morning, and he has not returned yet, so his subordinates can not rest assured, and they come up to ask." ”

Master Ming was stunned for a moment, she knew that Master Chen often came to visit Master Ming, and often stayed in the nunnery, but never returned at night.

That person was extremely polite and noble, and if something went wrong in her nunnery, then she would have ten lives that would not be enough to repay.

At that moment, his teeth chattered when he spoke, and he said: "That prince has already said goodbye to the poor nun in the daytime, but no one in the temple can see him again. ”

When the sturdy man heard this, his brow furrowed, and he felt that some things seemed to be a little difficult to end.

"Isn't it, my cousin eloped with that person?" Chen Ziren, who was crying bitterly with embroidered shoes, was shocked for some reason, and said through gritted teeth.

"Nonsense! Even if you are the cousin of my wife, you can't slander her reputation like this. Ah Xiang also forgot to cry on the side, and rebuked loudly, "What kind of person is my wife, she has always been the most fierce and chaste. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have guarded my general's chastity for three years without marrying. ”

At that moment, Ah Xiang was indignant and excited, and regardless of the encroachment, he pointed at Chen Ziren, and almost scolded.

As soon as she mentioned this past, everyone was silent, thinking in their hearts, yes, He Mian'er must not be such a person, otherwise she would not have been widowed for three years in vain.

"Let me ask, how old is your son-in-law? What is the appearance? Chen Ziren suddenly didn't weaken, and quickly stood up straight and asked.

The sturdy man also muttered in his heart for a while, listening to the words of this group of people, the woman also disappeared, could it be that the son was confused for a while, and eloped with the woman.

"My son-in-law is twenty years old and looks dignified." He replied simply that his son-in-law did look good.

"Yes, the two of them must have seen the right eye for a while, and they were afraid that everyone would disagree, so they eloped down the mountain." Chen Ziren was afraid that He Mian'er would indeed commit suicide in shame because of his harassment, and second, he thought that he was many times stronger than Xu Yunqing in terms of character and talent. Not to mention loyalty to his cousin.

But He Mian'er has not seen him at all in his eyes for many years, and Chen Ziren is always secretly sad, and he feels that it is all because Xu Yunqing has a better skin than him, which leads his cousin to be a ghost.

Since my cousin has been divorced by Xu Yunqing, she must have seen a good-looking man, so she eloped regardless of secular prejudices.

Everyone hesitated for a while, after all, He Mian'er seemed to have always been such a willful person, and she didn't pay attention to secular etiquette.

Eloping with someone is indeed something she can do.

However, the owner of the nunnery was attracted by everyone's conversation, and immediately shook his head and said, "Although the two of them are talented and beautiful, they are really a pair of beautiful people. But at this moment, the relatives of the son are still seriously ill in the temple. In my opinion, that person is also an extremely filial person, and I am afraid that he would not do such a thing for a woman at such a moment. ”

The words of the owner of the nunnery made everyone nod their heads again and again. Mingxin, who had not spoken, added: "It makes sense, if He Mian'er eloped with that person, how could he even lose his shoes here, without shoes, how could he get out of the nunnery?" ”

Mingxin's words made everyone completely abandon their previous thoughts. When the sturdy man saw that the shoes were still in Chen Ziren's arms, he immediately asked, "Where did these shoes come from?" Take me to see it. ”

The group walked towards the back mountain, it was the dead of night, except for the sound of insects and water, and the occasional sound of wind, only the footsteps and breathing of everyone remained.

"That's where I found it." Ah Xiang is the most sharp-eyed, and she also wants to prove her master's innocence, so she boldly pointed it out.

The sturdy man took a lantern and began to look around, and the others did the same, hoping to find some evidence.

Suddenly, Mingxin screamed, "What is this? I saw that she was holding a beautifully decorated dagger with a sharp blade in her hand, and she screamed in a lost voice.

The sturdy man walked quickly, stretched out his hand to take the knife, looked at the lamp carefully, and immediately concluded: "This is my son-in-law's dagger, and there is also my son-in-law's inscription on it-Jing." ”

Chen Ziren took it unbelievingly, and sure enough, he saw that the handle of the dagger was engraved with the word "Jing" on it.

"It seems that my son-in-law and that young lady must have encountered bandits in the back mountain, so they took out a dagger to protect themselves, and even that young lady's shoes fell off."

This speculation was reasonable, and everyone nodded. Without further ado, everyone was divided into several batches, some of the sturdy men wanted to go back to the house to report the situation to the master of the family, there were those who wanted to go down the mountain to report to the officials with a clear heart, there were Ah Xiang who wanted to go back to the general's mansion immediately to report to the old lady, and there were also Chen Ziren's mother who wanted to go to He Mansion immediately to inform her sister of the matter.

All of a sudden, everyone moved, and only the elderly owner and Chen Ziren were still standing in place. Chen Ziren hugged the shoe and didn't let go, and was a little demented at the moment, and said: "It's all my fault, if I wasn't confused for a while, my cousin wouldn't have come to the back mountain and met a strong man." If something happens to my cousin, I don't have the face to live in this world. ”

The owner of the nunnery coughed a few times and said with relief: "This donor doesn't have to be like this, I look at the blessed face of the He donor, not like the short-lived person." ”

It's just that Chen Ziren is already in a state of semi-dementia, and he is deaf to the words of the owner of the nunnery, and he is only muttering something.

The owner of the nunnery sighed, didn't say anything more, and left alone.

The capital is extremely lively this night, the Forbidden City in the city is lit up all night, and the streets in the city are constantly the sound of people and horses passing by. In the general's mansion in the south of the city, the old lady was sobbing, and the sister-in-law Jiang kept sighing, and Xu Shaodong, who was only five years old, had a good night's sleep.

In the imperial historian in the west of the city, Mrs. He had fainted several times, but Lord He was in a hurry to put on his clothes and prepare to enter the palace to face the saint, begging the emperor to look at his old face, so that the catchers in the capital could search overnight.

As for the Puhui Nunnery outside the north gate of the city, the entire nunnery is brightly lit, and countless people who look like housekeepers walk around in the nunnery, and there is no shortage of good hands who are constantly patrolling the back mountain, surveying back and forth.

A fast horse took the general's sign, went out of the city overnight, and headed straight to the south, it seemed that he was going to travel far.
