As soon as Mrs. Xiao heard Xiao Zhi mention Xi Hongdou's name, she asked, "Are you talking about that Xi Hongdou in Yunzhou City?" After speaking, he vetoed himself: "Impossible, where can I know the news so far away, even if I know the news, as long as I am not stupid, I have already drawn a clear line with our Xiao family, and she can still come to prison?" The more she spoke, the more she felt that it couldn't be Xi Hongdou.

Xiao Zhi hurriedly shouted outside: "I'm here!" Is it you?! ”

After Xi Hongdou heard Xiao Zhi's voice, he hurriedly turned around, and saw that it was indeed Xiao Zhi, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's really you!" Xiao Zhi's face was entangled, he didn't expect to meet Xi Hongdou again in such a situation. When he left, he thought that he would be able to go back to Xijia Village to find Xi Hongdou in a month, but now, he has completely become a prisoner.

After Xi Hongdou saw Xiao Zhi, he said, "Is that Xiao Shilang's house that you are talking about outside?" ”

Xiao Zhi nodded, then turned around and said, "This is my father." ”

Master Xiao looked at Xi Hongdou, when his wife came back before, he also said that his son, his fiancée, was born in a farming family, and he also felt that it was wrong to be a non-household, but his son had a special life, and it would be good if he could not die, so he agreed. At this time, this prospective daughter-in-law is also courageous, not like a philistine with a small family.

"Uncle Xiao is good." Xi Hongdou said hello.

Master Xiao nodded: "En." ”

Mrs. Xiao saw that the slap in the face came so quickly, so she asked, "...... you What are you doing here? "It's normal to hide far away, right? Isn't this village girl really stupid?

"I saw that Xiao Zhi had no news for three months, so I asked people to inquire, and I knew that something happened to the Xiao family, so I came here." Xi Hongdou said.

Xiao Zhi's face was full of guilt, and he said: "The Xiao family has been convicted, you better leave quickly, otherwise the whole family will be implicated!" ”

Xi Hongdou said: "It's okay, I left a document to break off the relationship with the family when I went out, and there will be nothing wrong at home." As he spoke, he handed Xiao Zhi the basket in his hand and handed it in, he came here, there must be no good food in this prison.

When Master Xiao saw that Xi Hongdou had made such preparations when he came to Kyoto City, he felt that this prospective daughter-in-law was a capable person, although he also wanted to find the right person, but if he married a wife, he had to marry a virtuous person, and his view of the door was not so deep. It's a pity, such a good girl, their Xiao family is not blessed.

Xiao Zhi looked at Xi Hongdou and left for dinner, so he said, "The Xiao family has been convicted, I'm afraid it's ...... If you can't live, you ...... in the future" let Xi Hongdou find someone to marry again, he really didn't want to say this kind of thing.

Xi Hongdou said: "Is there really a rebellion in your family? ”

"No, innocent implicated, the emperor refuses to try it properly, plus the Xiao family has served in the household department for many years, the emperor is suspicious, and would rather kill by mistake, I guess he also wants to let one go." Xiao Zhi said that the emperor is getting older and more suspicious, and if the Xiao family wants to turn over now, there may be no more at all.

Xi Hongdou sighed and said, "Just let the emperor retry this case?" ”

"It's difficult, there were a few adults who were good friends with the Xiao family before to plead, but they were grounded by the emperor, and no one dared to intercede." Xiao Zhi said: "Don't think of a way, the court officials can't do anything, not to mention that you are a little ordinary person with a white body?" Xiao Zhi is also helpless, it is good if this matter does not affect Xi Hongdou.

Xi Hongdou remembered Lao Zhang's words, so he said, "I'll go and sue the royal court." ”

"No way!" Xiao Zhi has long known that there is a way to sue the royal complaint, but the person who sues the royal complaint basically has no good end, and the serious one is basically dead, and the light one will lose half of his life, he doesn't want Xi Hongdou to take such a risk for her. And even if it is done, it may not be able to turn over the Xiao family, and Xi Hongdou will suffer in vain.

Master Xiao also sighed at this time and said, "Girl, you are a good person, but you still have to leave this matter alone." After all, he didn't go through the door, and he was not qualified to let Xi Hongdou go to risk his life for his family.

Mrs. Xiao actually hopes that Xi Hongdou will sue the royal court, it doesn't matter if she dies or not, but she hopes that her son can live, even if she has the slightest chance, she wants to risk her life to fight for it, but Xi Hongdou has not passed the door after all, and she can't say anything if she asks her family to risk her life.

Xi Hongdou said: "Since there is no rebellion, why is it involved, someone must have come up with some evidence." ”

Master Xiao said: "Just because King Xiang gave me a set of glass cups before, how many years ago, I was slandered by the villain in the emperor, and I was directly beaten into a chaotic party." ”

Xi Hongdou thought about it for a while, and said, "If the case is reopened, what evidence is needed to prove that the Xiao family is fine?" ”

"Are you really going?" Mrs. Xiao asked at this time, is this Xi Hongdou so righteous?

Xi Hongdou said: "Research first. "Besides, if she can't go or not, if she can't overturn the case alive or dead, even if she really goes to the knife mountain and the oil pot, it will be in vain.

Master Xiao said: "There is a letter, before King Xiang got up, I found that the amount of food and salary allocated by the household department was wrong, so when I played the emperor, I deliberately brought a secret letter, but the letter was sent to the palace, and King Xiang got into trouble, and it is estimated that the emperor did not see the letter!" ”

When Xi Hongdou heard this, he asked: "In this case, even if you don't sue the emperor, as long as you find a minister to tell the emperor about it, the emperor should be able to know, right?" Won't the truth be revealed after that? "Where do you still use the knife and the oil pot under the mountain?

"I can't open my mouth, the emperor can be furious as long as he hears the word King Xiang now, everything is the big eunuch Zhao Zhen messing around, it's not easy to get up to heaven to listen." Master Xiao is also speechless, the emperor doesn't have so much experience when he is old, and he doesn't have much patience, and there are eunuchs around him to slander, now one of them is counted as a courtier, and now he is unlucky, and tomorrow may be who will be next.

Xi Hongdou also has a headache, and sighs that the longer you live, you can see all kinds of scenes, this Yanyun State eunuch is in power, is it possible that there are also East and West Factories? !

While he was talking, the jailer at the gate of the cell shouted: "Come out quickly, Lao Tzu is going to change his value, and if he doesn't come out, he will be locked inside!" ”

Xi Hongdou had no choice but to say, "I have to go first." ”

Xiao Zhi saw that Xi Hongdou was about to leave in a hurry, so he shouted: "Don't go to sue the royal court, hurry up, don't be implicated!" "I don't know if Xi Hongdou heard it.

After not seeing Xi Hongdou's figure, Mrs. Xiao said, "This girl is quite affectionate and righteous to you." "The emperor didn't say anything about the three tribes, but the people here are basically dead.

Xiao Zhi became more and more worried, and felt uncomfortable not seeing Xi Hongdou, but now that he saw it, he was even more uncomfortable. In the past, others said that his life was not good, but he didn't believe it, but now that he looks at it, it is indeed not very good, and it also affects Xi Hongdou.

Here, Xi Hongdou walked out of the gate of the edict, finally breathed a breath of fresh air, and then hurried to leave first.

I found an inn casually, and I was willing to spend the money, so I quickly took a shower, changed my clothes, and then began to sum up, what should the Xiao family do.

If you want to say that she went to the soup for Xiao Zhi, she may not really have the courage, but ......

People have feelings, let her watch Xiao Zhi die, she really can't do something like that. According to Master Xiao's words, as long as the emperor knows that there is a secret letter in the fold, it should be able to prove the innocence of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family will be fine.

After eating and sleeping well, the next day, Xi Hongdou wanted to go to the place at the gate of the palace to complain about the royal complaint, but he encountered another incident halfway.

When the sedan chair of a court official passed by, a woman went up directly to stop the sedan chair and shouted grievances, Xi Hongdou was inspired at once, if she also stopped the sedan chair and shouted grievances, wouldn't she have to sue the emperor to make such a big move?

As a result, as soon as the woman knelt down, still holding the paper in her hand, she was directly beaten by the official's family, and then dragged to the alley next to her and threw it away.

The people around the onlookers all watched, some pointed at their faces, some talked about it, and some even smiled on their faces, as if they had seen too many such scenes.

Xi Hongdou walked to the woman who had just been beaten, helped the person up, and the corners of her mouth were bloody, so she asked, "Girl, are you okay?" ”

The girl looked not much older than herself, shook her head, and said, "It's okay...... it's just a skin injury."

"No one cares about stopping ......the sedan chair and shouting grievances" Xi Hongdou was particularly disappointed, as a result, this road would not work.

The girl left in a hurry, Xi Hongdou looked at the girl, and felt pitiful, and she could also understand the girl's feelings to some extent.

Xi Hongdou finally walked to the gate of the palace, and there was a stone tablet at the door, on which was written about the sue for the royal complaint.

It's really not easy to get up to the sky, it says that you need to walk five zhang on the nail board, and the nail is one inch high, Xi Hongdou really wants to retreat.

According to Yan Yun's unit of measurement, five zhang is about fifteen or sixteen meters away, and when she thought about it, her heels began to hurt.

The guards at the gate of the palace saw someone in front of the stone monument and said: "If there is nothing to do, quickly retreat away, the palace is not allowed to approach." ”

Xi Hongdou thought about it and asked, "How should I sue if I want to sue the royal court?" ”

When he heard that he was going to sue the royal court, the guards at the gate of the palace were also stunned, and then asked, "You want to sue the royal court?" "You must know that basically no one can get to the end of the nail board, if you give up halfway, or faint, it is in vain.

"Ask how to sue first, and I'll go back and think about it." Xi Hongdou said.

The guard was happy to hear this, and said, "Cheng, if you want to tell the truth, do you look at the drum?" You just knock, and then someone will come in at the door to report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then someone will come to take care of the matter of the royal complaint. However, he said that looking at the person in front of him is not tall and thin, if he sues the emperor, he doesn't know whether the person is stepping on the nail board or the nail board is stepping on the person.

Xi Hongdou sighed, went back to the inn first, lay down all night and couldn't sleep, go to step on the nail board, it is estimated that the foot can't be wanted, if you don't go, Xiao Zhi will have to be cold, in this case, it is really difficult for her to choose, if someone else makes a choice, how will people choose?
