When passing through Dangshan, Wen Renyue specially asked if she wanted to bring Xuan's bones. Cheng Ruoxuan said that since the deceased has been buried in the ground, he can't be disturbed easily. Moreover, now that the situation in Mingzhou is unknown, I am afraid that in a short period of time, I may not be able to arrange the aftermath of the Xuan family properly. She only wrote down the location of the Xuan family's tomb, and prepared to wait until the situation stabilized, and the Pei family came forward to discuss with the Xuan family before making plans.

Wen Renyue's carriage was luxurious and luxurious, far more comfortable and stable than when she came; Moreover, the official emblem of Qin Tianjian was printed on the car, and there was a guard of honor to open the way, and the mountain bandits had only seen their power a few days ago, even if they had the courage to rob the road again. However, Cheng Ruoxuan tossed and turned this night, and it was easy to fall asleep, and soon he woke up again, countless familiar faces flashed in his dream, but he couldn't remember who it was when he woke up. Approaching Mingzhou, when the two met again, she looked sick and calm, as calm as Wen Renyue was taken aback, and asked her if she was unwell.

Cheng Ruoxuan smiled miserably and said, "It's probably because of the cowardice of the hometown." ”

Wen Renyue said: "But do you miss your grandfather?" ”

Cheng Ruoxuan nodded and said "um" lightly. She didn't remember seeing her grandfather in her dreams. After experiencing so many things, she originally thought that she was much stronger, but when she thought of the turmoil in the Pei family after her grandfather's death, the uneasiness hidden in her heart gradually came up again. Although Qin Tianjian is in a position to favor the government and the opposition, he is not a good partner for pure ministers to befriend. Thinking of the Pei family's attitude when they talked about Qin Tianjian in the past, it may be inappropriate to bring Wen Renyue to the door at this time. She hesitated slightly, and then said, "Thank you for taking care of you all the way." Now that you have arrived in Mingzhou, you should not bother anymore. I'll just go back myself. With that, he hurriedly bowed.

Wen Renyue held her up: "You don't have to be so polite." "I can already see the gate of Mingzhou here, Wen Renyue raised his eyes, and couldn't help sighing, "I should have come to visit Pei Ge Lao a long time ago, but I was detained in the imperial capital, and I couldn't make the trip." It was actually delayed until his old man's immortal went to come to Mingzhou. It's better to go to Pei's Mansion with you, so as to pay tribute to the spirit of the old man in the sky. ”

This time he was to worship her grandfather, and it was rude for Cheng Ruoxuan, a junior, to come forward to stop him. Wen Renyue deliberately changed his ordinary car again, took off his official robe, and only wore civilian clothes, it seems that his trip is really just to make up for his regrets, and he does not intend to come forward on behalf of Qin Tianjian. Seeing this, Cheng Ruoxuan didn't make any more excuses, and entered the narrow carriage with him.

Although the driver has changed, the driver is still Wen Renyue's attendant. This person is not familiar with the roads of Mingzhou, Cheng Ruoxuan wanted to give advice, but Wen Renyue waved her hand, only said that he wanted to pay homage to Master Pei, and ordered the coachman to inquire about the location of Pei's mansion by himself.

Cheng Ruoxuan saw that Wen Renyue's move was intentionally concealing her identity for her, and she became more and more grateful. Mingzhou City is very big, and the two of them didn't say anything all the way, which was somewhat embarrassing. Cheng Ruoxuan thought about it, and then said to Wen Renyue: "I forgot to thank my lord before, and I was willing to write that letter of recommendation for Jing Feng." ”

"It's a gesture." Wen Renyue didn't care much and said, "If you don't say it, I don't even know the name of that young man." ”

Cheng Ruoxuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "In that case, why do adults want to help him?" ”

"Because of the left guard of the navy." Wen Renyue lazily explained, "What they did this time was too heavy to kill, and I couldn't see it." ”

"Why do you say that?" Cheng Ruoxuan was confused, and said suspiciously: "If there is anything wrong, that is, Cao Yan was a little violent when he sent troops...... But he was gentle and polite to people, and he was willing to consider many matters for the people. I see that he is very popular. ”

Wen Renyue said indifferently: "If he really has the heart to sympathize with the people, why would he deliberately let the bandits enter the villagers' homes, and then wipe out all the collaborators?" Even if the pearl diving ship is only a merchant ship, it will not even be able to catch up with a few small boats of the bandits. ”

Cheng Ruoxuan hadn't thought about it before, and couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Wen Renyue said again: "If the woman's husband hadn't been resolute and desperately preached drawing a line with the bandits, he might not have been able to wait for his wife to save him." There are not a few villagers with corpses on the beach, and they are not all coerced to death by the bandits. Many of them still have feathered arrows from the navy. ”

Cheng Ruoxuan completely understood this time, and a chill suddenly arose in his heart. If it weren't for Wen Renyue mentioning it, she wouldn't have known these details at all, but if everything was really as Cao Yan said, it was all urgent and unavoidable.

"No wonder you're naïve. In addition to performing his duties, he can also use words and attitudes to prevent ordinary people from causing trouble, and even buying people's hearts, which should be regarded as Lord Cao's ability. Wen Renyue's words were originally meant to appease her, but Cheng Ruoxuan sounded sarcastic. The coachman outside the curtain answered, "Isn't it?" The Cao under Master Cao experienced that he was reckless many years ago, and he had to say something to save his life, so he even changed his surname for this matter. ”

"Cao experience?" Cheng Ruoxuan reacted, what he was referring to in these words should be Cao Cao Tie.

"Lost plum." Wen Renyue said helplessly, "I have to talk more." ”

The coachman, named "Lost Plum", smiled: "Don't blame me for talking too much, I think the girl wants to hear it." A little inconsequential gossip is already known to everyone in the imperial capital, and it doesn't matter if it's just to pass the time. Wen Renyue is such a character, the left guard of the navy has to be cautious when he sees it, but Lost Mei doesn't seem to be afraid of him, and continues leisurely: "Cao Xian was originally called Cao Tie. Since he was rescued by Cao Yishi, he added a surname Cao to himself, saying that it was the grace of Cao Baishi's recreation, and even the grace of his parents' birth was higher, and he must not be mixed up. This fact was absurd and funny, and later spread throughout the imperial capital, Cao Yan couldn't hold his face, and scolded him once, so he stopped mentioning it. He said happily for a long time, suddenly remembered something, paused, and continued, "By the way, I listened to what the girl said before, I should be very convinced of Cao Yan's matter, and I must not have said bad things about him in front of Cao Shishi, right?" ”

Cheng Ruoxuan shook her head dumbfoundedly, and remembered that through the car curtain, the other party couldn't see her, so she had to whisper "No".

"That's fine." Lost Mei was full of speed, and while paying attention to avoid pedestrians, she said, "Let me tell you, that person was finally promoted to experience, and his temper was much more restrained, but he couldn't bear to be told that Cao was wrong." I've never seen anything more devastating. ”

I see. Cheng Ruoxuan smiled, and there was a sense of loss in his heart. Wen Renyue said it well, isn't she naïve? When her grandfather told her those things, she thought she knew how well she knew the sergeants of the Great Liang, and spoke for them with such eloquence; But it turned out that it was not as good as a rumor that the coachman could hear.

Wen Renyue glanced at her, as if she had noticed that she was in a bad mood, but she still quietly accosted Lost Mei: "If you can be half loyal to someone's family, you won't cause me a headache every day." "He's indifferent to everyone, and it's rare to be funny with people like this. Perhaps laziness and indifference are both appearances, and only in front of someone who is really close to him is that this person is willing to show a little trace of happy emotions.

The atmosphere between the two of them was very harmonious. Cheng Ruoxuan listened silently on the side, stabilized his mind, and cleaned up his scattered thoughts. Now there are more things to worry about, she reminded herself to cheer up, and after a few more alleys, Pei's Mansion is about to arrive, I really don't know what the situation at home is now. Maybe it's really homesickness, Cheng Ruoxuan's heartbeat is clear and audible.

At that moment, the carriage came to a halt.

Wen Renyue frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"The road is closed up ahead." Lost Mei's voice suddenly sank, far less cheerful than before. Cheng Ruoxuan felt uneasy in his heart. Wen Renyue glanced at her and raised her hand to hook the side of the door curtain. I saw that there was a crowd of people in front, and many people in cloth clothes were crowded at the intersection, but they were stopped by a few sergeants and couldn't take a step forward.

This area is mostly deep house compounds, far away from the downtown area, and there are few cars and pedestrians on weekdays, and these people don't know why they gather at the intersection. Cheng Ruoxuan looked carefully, and saw that many people frequently looked into the streets and alleys on the side, with a mysterious and excited expression on their faces, as if there was something lively to see in the depths of the alley.

Pei's Mansion was in the direction those people were looking.

Cheng Ruoxuan was in a hurry, and she was about to get up immediately, but Wen Renyue stopped her, turned her head and ordered outside the car: "Lost Mei go and take a look." Be cautious. ”

She answered, parked the car on the side of the street, and jumped off the horse with a few quick moments. He walked far away, and when he heard Renyue, he said solemnly: "You are a lady of the boudoir, so it is inconvenient to show your head." ”

This person used etiquette rules to admonish her for the first time, Cheng Ruoxuan was surprised for a while, and felt ashamed in his heart, so he had to sit in the car with anxiety and look at the crowd from afar.

Lost Mei wiped the sweat from her face, and like an ordinary stable, she shrunk her shoulders and arched into the crowd. He asked people a few words with a shy face, as if he didn't understand the point, which made the other party a little impatient; He had no choice but to hide to the side, and then ask another passer-by for questioning. Cheng Ruoxuan originally heard Mei's conversation, and thought that this person was a powerful character; Now that I saw this situation, I realized that I was probably thinking too much, so I had to sigh silently.

Unexpectedly, it was only this trance, and there was no trace of lost plum in her field of vision. Cheng Ruoxuan was a little confused, and couldn't help but look around for a while.

Seeing this, Wen Renyue next to him followed: "Lost Mei is my best attendant, and such a trivial matter as finding out the news could not be easier for him. You can rest assured. ”

Cheng Ruoxuan was skeptical, but he had to sit upright, and his heart became more and more worried.

She couldn't estimate the time in her nervousness, and she didn't know how long it was, but she suddenly flashed out of nowhere, turned over and sat down in front of the carriage, and hesitantly replied, "It's too unfortunate that the adults came...... The Criminal Department is raiding Pei's house. ”
