Chapter VIII: Complicity

"Master Hou was kidnapped, and Mrs. Hou suspects that people from the Poetry Academy are also involved, so we have to confirm. You go to the poetry academy immediately, and say that I asked you to ask Hou Ye, the dim sum just now is still appetizing, and ask him when he will return home? As he spoke, he took a few of the scriptures that Mrs. Hou often read, turned a page and said, "I don't understand this scripture, please interpret it for me." ”

Xiang Zhu nodded yes, took the scripture and hugged it in his arms.

Jiang Lingran saw that Xiang Zhu's fingers were trembling, and guessed that she gave the letter to Uncle Wen and hurried back to recover her life, but she didn't know about it, and when she heard herself say this, she was scared enough for a while. Wen Sheng admonished: "Calm down, don't show your flaws." ”

Xiang Zhu suppressed the palpitations in his heart, said yes, and retreated.

The poetry academy is not far from the Hou Mansion, and Xiangzhu is in a hurry, but it turns back in two or three quarters of an hour.

Mrs. Lao Hou looked forward to it, and when she saw Xiang Zhu, she suddenly stood up, took a few steps forward eagerly, and said hurriedly: "How is it?" Can people be in the poetry academy? ”

Xiangzhu couldn't take care of wiping the sweat on his head, shook his head and said: "The slave went to the poetry academy, and saw the little maid Wang Lu next to the Hou Ye at the gate of the poetry courtyard, and the slave asked Wang Lu the question of the lady, Wang Lu said that he wanted to go in and ask the Hou Ye, and the slave and the maid asked him to bring the scriptures in, but Wang Lu came back and said that the Hou Ye was busy endorsing the book at this time and couldn't take care of it. But he left the scriptures behind, saying that he would read them carefully to his wife when he returned home. The slave and maid said that when the Hou Ye was done, Wang Lu was not happy, and urged the slave and maid to leave. The slave and maid were afraid that the flaws would be exposed if the dispute continued, so they did not dare to linger any longer. ”

If they say that Meng Zhipei left the poetry academy and does not know where to go, they can still temporarily rule out the suspicion of the poetry academy, but they not only say that Meng Zhipei is there, but also say that he is busy endorsing, which is obviously lying!

Why lie, it goes without saying!

Mrs. Hou chuckled in her heart, and the spirit around her body dissipated in a moment, and she sat down in the chair with a withered face: "This is... They are inhuman bastards, is this a conspiracy to kill my Pei'er? ”

Qu Lian burst out when she heard this, rolled up her sleeves and walked out, gritting her teeth as she went: "This king who eats inside and out, he will definitely peel off his skin!" What about him? Let him come over immediately! ”

In his previous life, before Jiang Lingran didn't know the truth about Meng Zhipei's visit to the Poetry Academy, he cooked dim sum soup every day and sent it to the gate of the Poetry Academy in person, even after she became pregnant.

But all the food went into the belly of Wang Lu.

After Zheng Qingyi entered the mansion, in order to curry favor, Wang Lu also ridiculed those who were difficult to swallow.

His old son and mother-in-law Xiao Pozi are also shameless, in order to win Zheng Qingyi's favor, she actually licked her face and came to her, saying that she wanted to ask Qingyu to be a concubine for Wang Lu.

After hearing this, she immediately poured the tea in her hand on Mrs. Xiao's face and beat the person out with a broom!

Since then, her "notoriety" has become apparent.

Zeng Da saw Qu Lian's own opinion, quietly glanced at Mrs. Lao Hou, and saw that she did not say anything against it, so he didn't say anything more.

If Mrs. Xiao is punished, then the news of Meng Zhipei's kidnapping 77 will spread in the mansion, and if it reaches the Poetry Academy, it will not be able to contain the fire. Inevitably, things changed, Jiang Lingran did not hesitate, glanced at the frightened old lady Hou, and said softly: "Mother don't worry, I will immediately take the silver to Yixiang Pavilion to redeem people." However, the daughter-in-law thought that for the safety of the Hou Ye, those kidnappers in Yixiang Pavilion should not move for the time being, but they could not be allowed to go unpunished! Saying that, he looked at Zeng Da and said: "Let's divide into two ways, and Steward Zeng will go to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case with his mother's post, as long as he catches the culprits in the poetry courtyard who intend to kill the Hou Ye, he can follow the vine and catch back the minions who escaped from Yixiang Pavilion." After speaking, he asked Mrs. Lao Hou very respectfully: "The daughter-in-law is short-sighted, and the mother thinks that the daughter-in-law can arrange it appropriately?" I'm young, I'm timid, and I have to make up your mind about the big things in the house, so I can feel at ease when I do it. ”

After listening to Jiang Lingran's words, Mrs. Hou and Zeng Da felt that they were thoughtful and reasonable, and nodded again and again.

"It's great, it's great." As he spoke, he urged Zeng Da: "You take my post and go quickly, tell Xia Yun that if you let go of a suspect, I will definitely go to sue the emperor!" ”

Xia Yun is the name of Jingzhao Mansion Yin.

Zeng Dalian responded to the small Buddha hall.

Here, Song's mother has prepared a silver ticket, with a total of more than 40,000 taels of cash.

Now the silver is full of six large boxes, more than 20 small servants carried it to the front yard, and the silver ticket is placed in a wooden box, and Mother Song holds it and hands it to Mrs. Hou.

Mrs. Lao Hou felt the weight of the box, and her flesh hurt for a while, but in comparison, Pei'er's safety was the most important!

When Pei'er escapes, she will definitely chop up this group of dog offal that has suffered thousands of knives!

solemnly handed the wooden box into Jiang Lingran's hands, and choked up: "Good boy, it's all up to you." ”

Jiang Lingran endured the diaphragm in his heart, forced his mother-in-law to be filial to his daughter-in-law, and left the small Buddha hall.

When I walked near the garden, I vaguely heard the sound of "bang bang" sticks beating on my body, miserable cries, and Qu Lian's sharp curses.

Jiang Lingran listened, there was no emotion on his face, all the way to the door of the house, the little girl was lifting the silver box to the flatbed, and there was a person standing next to her carriage, this middle-aged man in a brown and blue cotton robe, with a Chinese face and beard, and a righteous face, it was Uncle Wen.

Jiang Lingran looked at Uncle Wen with a sad face, and his heart was a little sour, Uncle Wen rushed over immediately after his brother's accident in his previous life, but once he left, there was no news, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Later, she thought that according to Meng Zhipei's understanding of her, Uncle Wen's departure from Beijing was expected by him, and he would definitely try to intercept it.

And Uncle Wen's temperament, as long as he has a breath, he will definitely ask someone to bring the letter back, and there is no news, which is about more than lucky.

Later, she could only let Xiang Zhu and Qingyu go out of the city on the day of sending food and clothing to Yi'er, and then let Qingyu's cousin wait outside the city in advance, and the carriage was changed to a fast horse, all the way non-stop, plus she and Meng Zhipei died together in the mansion, Zheng Qingyi was bound to be in chaos, and I was afraid that she would not have the strength to send people out of the city to chase them.

Jiang Lingran walked to the carriage, glanced at the whip in Uncle Wen's hand, and wrinkled his eyebrows: "It's freezing this day, why are you doing this?" What about the coachman? "The old injury on Uncle Wen's leg has fallen to the root of the disease, and it will attack every time it is cold weather, and he can't even walk when it is the worst.

Uncle Wen frowned anxiously, saw Jiang Ling's face soothe slightly, and said: "It's better for me to follow the girl, and I can take care of it in case of trouble, otherwise I will always be hanging in the house." As he spoke, he glanced at the silver box on the wooden cart, and his brows furrowed again, I am afraid that this matter will not be good.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help glaring at Jiang Lingran: "It's too risky for you to do this, even if you are wronged, there are still generals to support you, why are you like this?" If you are known, how will you deal with yourself in the future! ”
