"Don't be in a hurry......"

Before she finished speaking, she was cut off by Xia Lianzhi.

"How can I not be in a hurry!"

Mo Qiantao glanced around, "There are many people, come into the house and say." ”

Mo Qiantao told the whole story again, and her mouth was dry again and again, and she had to endure her tiredness to appease Xia Lianzhi.

Xia Lianzhi sat for a while, she really couldn't rest assured that Xia Chunfeng was going to go to the Yamen Mansion to find someone to redress her grievances.

"Feng'er is in prison, why aren't you in such a hurry." Xia Lianzhi patted her thigh and complained to her. This made Mo Qiantao very helpless.

"I've already gone looking for Master Wu, and now he's so bored with me, if he goes to him in a daze, wouldn't he be asking for bad luck."

"I'm going to go too." Xia Lianzhi is concerned about chaos, and has the meaning of ignoring it. It's just that rushing to the Yamen Mansion like this is unreasonable, and it doesn't have any effect at all, but it will be punished for the crime of disturbing the court, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Mo Qiantao is easy to talk about, and finally persuaded Xia Lianzhi with Guan Yao, although she is no longer unreasonable, she is as restless as if she has no fixed soul.

Not long after Mo Qiantao left, Wu Muyun returned to his mansion, and Li Junru followed closely behind.

Seeing him sitting on the main seat, Li Junru immediately ordered the maid to cook tea, and then peeked at him a few times, "Although Lady Mo is slippery, there is indeed some truth in her words." ”

Wu Muyun's face was as usual, he couldn't see joy, he was already very deep, "Don't worry." ”

He is not in a hurry, he just wants Mo Qiantao to be anxious, otherwise, where will the joy of life come from.

"But...... What if the thief commits the crime again? Li Junru didn't know that his master's special fetish, he only felt that he had become not rigorous enough, after all, if the case was settled, it would be helpful for him to return to Beijing and reinstate.

"Patrol with more manpower...... In addition, Goolan Courtyard also secretly sent people to investigate, so as not to leak the news. Wu Mumo rubbed the wrench in his hand, and his brain was running rapidly.

"If you find something suspicious, don't say anything." Wu Muyun raised his head and reminded cautiously.

After Li Junru retreated, the housekeeper sent him a letter from the capital, he opened it and took a general look, and it was full of Feng Rongxi pouring out the pain of lovesickness.

He sneered in his heart, this woman looked dignified and delicate, but in fact, she didn't know how to be shameless, no wonder Feng Yunlei would faint with anger, raising such a daughter If you change it, don't expect to live a long life, sooner or later she will die of anger.

He placed the letter casually on the coffee table and added a cup of tea to himself.

Small courtyard.

After Xia Lianzhi was sent back to the small courtyard, she sighed all the time, and she couldn't live in peace.

"Nurse, you drink saliva first." Worried that she would be angry and angry, Mo Qiantao hurriedly handed over a bowl of water.

Her eyes lit up, and she reached out and slapped the tea over, but fortunately, the water temperature was not high, and Mo Qiantao dodged in time, and she was not injured by the splashed debris.

"Do you have half a sincerity towards Feng'er? He is now in prison, and even Guan Yao is jumping in a hurry, but I don't see you panicking. Xia Lianzhi began to touch her tears, and kept talking about Xia Chunfeng's pity, and now that he is in prison, no one can help him.

"Is it useful to be in a hurry?" Mo Qiantao dropped a sentence and disappeared.

She returned to the shop to explain a few words to Guan Yao, then went back to change her clothes and hid near the yamen, and kept secretly observing.

It wasn't until night that Li Junru came out with a few strangers from inside, Mo Qiantao watched their steps neatly aligned, guessing that it should be a dressed officer.

She kept a distance, for fear of being discovered by Li Junru, and followed them for about a quarter of an hour, and saw them enter the cage attic full of red lights, and the plaque at the door was engraved with a few big characters: Chunhualou.

Chunhualou walked a few steps further, passing through a small alley, the whole alley was full of smoke and willow alleys, and it was full of drunken and slippery men.

Mo Qiantao stayed in place for a while, then turned around, changed her clothes, and bought food before returning to the courtyard.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, I heard Xia Lianzhi's cursing and Guan Yao's helpless voice. She stood in place and felt a headache, and softened her voice, "I'm back, I haven't eaten dinner yet." ”

As soon as she came back, Xia Lianzhi became even more angry, "Feng'er is still suffering in prison, how can you let me eat." ”

Mo Qiantao sat down on the stool and opened the food box carelessly, "If you don't eat, it will be a chronic suicide, it is better to wipe it on your neck with a knife, if the husband is released from prison and you are gone, it will be a human tragedy." ”

Her words were so shocked that Guan Yao's jaw couldn't close. Xia Lianzhi was even more angry.

"Who's daughter-in-law curses her mother-in-law like this, Guan Yao, you come to comment, is she like talking?" Xia Lianzhi's tears came as soon as they were said, and the flood that opened the floodgates was nothing more than that.

"This ......" Guan Yao said unfavorably, it is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs.

"It's already like this, don't make a mess of it, okay? I'm not thinking of a way, we have to unite at the critical moment, we can't huddle together and cry bitterly, that's what will block the minister. ”

"Yes, Aunt Xia, the little peach girl is right." Guan Yao instantly stood on Mo Qiantao's team.

Mo Qiantao went over to help her and brought her to the table, "Let's eat first, I've already found someone to investigate this matter secretly, you can relax first." ”

As if coaxing a child, Xia Lianzhi finally calmed down.

After nightfall, Mo Qiantao went to Guan Yao's room, and she took off the peach blossom hairpin inlaid with pearls on her head and handed it to Guan Yao.

"Sister Yao, I know that you hate Yi Lang right now, and I can't think of a better way to do it now, so I must ask you to help me with this."

Seeing her so sincere, Wan Yao panicked for a while, "Sister, if you need any help, just say it." ”

"I want you to help me coax Yi Lang, if there is a thief in the city, no matter how late it is, you must inform me. Let him throw stones at the window of mine, just in case he needs to pile up the mark with stones, and whenever I push open the window, I will know everything. This hairpin is his reward. As she spoke, she took out another bracelet, "If he does a good job, I will give it to him as a thank you after doing the work." ”

She knew that Mo Qiantao was already shy, otherwise she wouldn't use her makeup as payment, "Sister, all my savings have been given to Guan Sheng, and I can't help you with money, but I can't shirk this favor." ”

Hearing her say this, Mo Qiantao smiled knowingly.

"You wait for him to come to you, don't take the initiative to look for him."

Guan Yao was stunned and puzzled, "Why?" Chunfeng's matter is imminent, and I will go to him in a moment. ”

Mo Qiantao said slowly, "No, if you take the initiative to find him, you are begging him to help with things, but if he comes to you first, he is currying favor with you, the meaning of the two is different, the effect is not the same, the latter is more willing." ”

"What if he doesn't come to me?" Thinking of that day, how could he come to her for Yi Lang's cold face and his usual conceit, Guan Yao didn't have much confidence.

Mo Qiantao was very sure, "He must come back to you, he saw that you opened a shop and had the ability to make money, how could he let go easily." ”

This time, Guan Yao was clicked through.

Seeing that she was silent, Mo Qiantao thought that her words hurt her, and hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that Yi Lang had no intention of you, what I just said was only one reason." ”

Guan Yao smiled indifferently, "I used to be stupid, but now I'm not stupid, I've been with you for a few days." ”

Mo Qiantao only thought that she was praising herself, and after the two joked a few words, they dispersed.

Before returning to the house, she went to Xia Lianzhi's house to take a look, and when she stood at the door and saw the dim candlelight inside, she knew that she must not be able to sleep peacefully, and after sighing, she finally did not have the courage to knock on the door and window.

*

The dark, damp cell was filled with the smell of decay, and the flickering candle flame flickered as if it were a demonstration, warning the living not to approach.

When Mo Qiantao appeared, Xia Chunfeng seemed to have a foreknowledge for a long time, he sat cross-legged on the dry grass, like an old man who cultivated, and did not care about the harsh environment around him at all.

"You haven't eaten in a few days, have you? I brought you some food, and the nurse wanted to come with me, but I was worried that she would hurt her body due to her emotional ups and downs, so I came alone. Mo Qiantao opened the food box and took out the food inside one by one.

Xia Chunfeng looked at her silently, and a warm flow flowed in his heart, he never knew that Mo Qiantao would be so distressed, and he seemed to be so virtuous.

After waiting for him to respond for a long time, Mo Qiantao raised her head and looked at him, "Why are you looking at me like this." With that, she quickly shifted her gaze, not wanting to look at his stubble face.

Xia Chunfeng chuckled, moved to the gap, and opened his mouth to wait for her to feed. For a while, the cell was so quiet that only the sound of Xia Chunfeng chewing softly could be heard.

Suddenly, he saw a light red mark on Xia Chunfeng's wrist, raised his head suddenly, and asked solemnly, "Did they torture you?" ”

Xia Chunfeng shook her head and changed the topic, wanting to be funny with her, "This rice is made by the nurse, and the taste is not as rich as what you make." ”

"What are you talking about, I ask you if they have tortured you." Mo Qiantao's face sank, and she threw down the dishes and chopsticks, "I'll go to them to judge Master Wu." ”

"I haven't eaten yet." Xia Chunfeng saw that she was aggressive, and said, "Come back, I accidentally got it myself." ”

"Really?" Mo Qiantao didn't believe it.

Xia Chunfeng stretched her neck and asked her to look inside to see if there were any wounds, "I was just funny with you, come, let Ye take a good look at you." ”

In the past few days, in this dark cell, Xia Chunfeng's mind is full of thoughts about her, and she really wants to scratch her heart and lungs, and she is uncomfortable.

finally looked forward to her, so naturally I had to take a closer look.

"It's not serious." Mo Qiantao glanced at him, and somehow felt that his eyes were sour, but he didn't want to cry in front of him, annoying him, and turned around to secretly wipe his tears.
