Chapter 53: Affection is deep and lucky
Long Pan, who was squatting on the ground to check the assassin's corpse, raised his eyes and sighed: "This is really a big flood that has washed the Dragon King Temple." As he spoke, he showed the sign on his waist.
He didn't report his identity, but those brocade clothes all knew the waist card, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly put away his knife and saluted: "The humble position is the Hangzhou Mansion Tiqi, I don't know that the adult is here, please forgive the adult!" ”
Seeing this, the woman who saved people couldn't help but look at the mute beside her, and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that you are also from the Tingwei Division. ”
The disgust and vigilance in her eyes were very blatant for a moment. Before the dumb man could speak, he suddenly heard an old woman's voice coming from behind herself: "Miss, I have found you!" I saw an old woman running here with a group of maids and housekeepers, and said in her mouth, "Master, he only delivered the letter back yesterday, and told the young lady to stay at home, and I was also soft-hearted to take you out, but I didn't expect that one didn't look at it, and you ......" The battle here is so big, but the mother-in-law doesn't care at all, only her own young lady in her eyes, seeing her holding her shoulder, her tone can't help but be more anxious, "Miss, what's wrong with your shoulder?" ”
She waved her hand casually and said, "I fell down, nothing to make a fuss." ”
"Ouch, why are you so careless, you haven't come yet, you're holding Miss!"
But she ignored the old woman and looked at the brocade langs: "This little girl was saved by me, she is my person, if you want to take someone, ask me if I am allowed first." ”
A brocade man stepped forward and said, "The Ting Wei Division is on business, how can he communicate with outsiders." Who are you? ”
Before she could speak, the old woman rebuked, "Bold! My lady is ......"
"Nurse." She shook her head at the old woman, motioned for her to shut up, and turned to the brocade lang, "Since the noble yamen is on business, the little girl is not easy to stop, if you insist on arresting people, I can only go with you to the Imperial Guard." ”
The nurse's body trembled: "Miss, don't do it, what is the place of the Ting Weisi, if you let the master know......"
The woman ignored her, sensing the fear of Liuniang beside her, and lowered her eyes to comfort her: "Don't worry, I will take care of you." ”
The look of the Ting Wei Si's Ti Qi was already cold, which young lady of the family was this, and she actually interfered in the case of the Ting Wei Si. But he heard Long Pan say leisurely: "This girl is narrow, and it makes sense that she doesn't want to let go." I also want to hear what kind of case this little girl has committed. ”
The brocade rider weighed it and said: "Lord Hui, a person who died today is a catcher in Songnian County, this person used to be an important witness in a big case, and the lord of this case ordered us to investigate strictly, but when he was found on the head, he was killed. He has no relatives and no reason in this city, so he only has a close person named Chen Liuniang, who may be able to provide us with a clue or two, so I will take her back today and ask a few words. ”
When Liu Niang heard this, her little body trembled, and she whispered: "Big brother......"
When the rich lady heard this, she also paused lightly, and asked in a deep voice: "The big case you are talking about, but the case of the Zhou family in Songnian County?" The one who was killed was caught quickly, but his surname was Chen? ”
Everyone present looked at her, dumb and slightly surprised, how could she know so much?
She knew it in detail, because the one who was destroyed was her cousin's family, her name was Zhou Huitong, and she was the daughter of Zhou Guangtong, the envoy of Zhejiang. Now, because of this case, her father had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Ting Wei Si, and yesterday he sent someone to deliver the letter overnight, afraid that the Ting Wei Si would secretly be unfavorable to her. I didn't expect that I would collide head-on with Ting Weisi today.
However, how could Chen Zhu be killed soon? Could it be that the cousin's family was killed, and there is nothing else to do?
After hearing this, Long Pan understood the importance of this Liuniang, and said to Zhou Huitong: "I don't know this girl's surname? ”
Zhou Huitong knew that he was the person of the Ting Wei Division, so his expression was gloomy, and his voice was a little cold: "Don't give your surname Zhou." ”
He also sensed her hostility and said, "Miss Zhou, you also heard it, they are looking for this little girl, just to ask some questions, and they won't do anything to her." Moreover, so many people want to kill her, and wherever she goes, it is no safer than in the Imperial Guard. ”
Zhou Huitong thought about it, this is the truth, the Ting Wei Division re-examines this case, and it must be to clear the suspicion of Liu Mingxian, so as to exonerate their commander-in-chief, this Liu Niang is an important person, and they will not harm her life.
Thinking of this, he put away his hostility and said, "In this case, the little girl will no longer interfere." ”
Hearing this, Liuniang hurriedly grabbed the corner of her clothes: "Miss Zhou......"
She couldn't bear it, and comforted her softly: "I know you're afraid, but at this time, it's the best choice for you to go with them." After you explain the case, come back to me. My home is on Yuanbao Street in Qinghefang, if you go to inquire where Zhou's mansion is, you will find it. As he spoke, he plucked the hairpin from his head and gave it to her, "Take this." ”
Liu Niang held the hairpin, and there were tears in her eyes: "Thank you...... Miss Zhou. ”
Zhou Huitong said, took her servants and maids, and said, "The little girl has taken her leave." He said to Long Pan and the dumb man, "Shicai would like to thank the two of you for your help, and there will be a period later." ”
She walked away without looking back, and halfway through what seemed to involve the wound on her shoulder, she hissed softly. The mute looked at her back and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Qinghefang Yuanbao Street Zhou's house. She turned out to be Zhou Guangtong's daughter.
The dumb man followed Long Pan to the Yamen of the Imperial Guard, and listened to the brocade Yilang report the inside story of the case in detail, and heard that Song Ran and Shen Hanxi were both in Yang Chengwan's house, and his heart that he carried all the way was also put down. Long Pan saw him raise his feet and leave, and hurriedly shouted to him: "Why are you going?" ”
He tilted his head: "Look for my girl." ”
Long Pan said: "This time, my adult travels in micro-service, don't reveal his identity, you can remember, the adult is now the commander of the Xiting of the Imperial Guard, don't say that you leaked your mouth." ”
Without waiting for the dumb man to agree, a brocade-clothed woman came over with the little girl called Liuniang.
"My lord, this little girl's mouth seems to have been poured with iron, and she can't pry it open."
The mute paused and looked at her.
Although she was thin and a little timid in front of a group of big men, the meaning of her expression was very clear: "I want to bring back the body of my eldest brother from the yamen." ”
The brocade lang was a little impatient: "How many times have I told you, Chen Cripple is the catcher of the county government, and after the yamen has examined the body, he will be buried." ”
She hung her head, and her voice was as thin as a gnat: "He doesn't call Chen lame......"
The other party didn't hear clearly: "What? ”
She raised her little face with tears stained and said loudly: "He is not called Chen Cripple!" His name is Chen Feng, and he is my eldest brother! ”
Long Pan was worried about Shen Hanxi's order, and he didn't have time to pay attention to her, so he impatiently ordered: "Take it down, find a way to make her speak." ”
She suddenly took out the hairpin that Zhou Huitong gave her from her sleeve, the tip of the hairpin was aimed at her heart, although her hands were shaking, there was a stubbornness in her eyes that did not give in: "If you don't take back Brother Chen's body, Liuniang will die now." ”
Long Pan couldn't help but glance at her, this little girl, will she threaten people?
He eats all routines, but he doesn't eat threats. He saved this little life, and she dared to die for him.
Without waiting for him to step forward, the dumb man suddenly blocked in front of her, and said lightly: "Put away the hairpin, go to the county office, you lead the way." ”
The green tendons on Long Pan's forehead jumped: "Feng Thirteen, who has the final say here?" ”
The dumb man said: "You have the final say, but I will take the people away." With that, he took her wrist and walked out. When he walked to the door, he was blocked by several brocade langs. He turned his head to look at Long Pan, "When she buries her eldest brother, I will bring her back." ”
"What if she runs away?"
"With me, I won't run."
Long Pan held the knife on his waist and walked towards him, the muscles on his face throbbing faintly, and he looked fierce. After a long confrontation, he relieved: "Before noon, bring people back, otherwise, you know the consequences." ”
The dumb man pulled Liuniang and stepped out of the yamen without looking back.
Yijin Yilang asked puzzledly: "Lord Long, this Liuniang is the last clue, how do you know that he will definitely come back?" ”
Long Pan sneered and said, "He has Helan Jue's poison in his body, and his master is now by the side of the adult, he dares not to come back." And he said, "Go and send a message to your lordship and ask what you mean." ”
The mute accompanied Liuniang to receive the body from the yamen, and then went to the coffin shop to choose a coffin for her, and hired someone to pull it to the field and bury it. Chen Feng is alone on weekdays, and in this Songnian County, there is only one neighbor, Liuniang. In an extraordinary situation, it is not possible to wait seven days before being buried according to local customs. The little girl picked up a wooden plank, carved his name neatly, and inserted it in front of the grave.
"Brother Chen, you can go well, if Liu Niang lives for a day, she will remember you for a day, and you will not die in vain. Liu Niang will definitely avenge you. ”
The dumb eyelid lifted slightly for her word "revenge". She knows who the enemy is, so she wants to take revenge?
The little girl continued: "Brother Chen, although you don't say it, Liuniang understands. The person who killed you is the big man above. On March 15, the real culprit was not Liu Mingxian, but someone wanted to frame the charge on his head, and someone came to you that day and asked you to commit perjury, and Liu Niang heard it. If it weren't for Liuniang...... You ...... too. will not come to this point, it is because Liu Niang has affected you. ”
She held back her tears, kowtowed three times to the new tomb, got up and walked to the young man next to her, and knelt down for him again: "Thank you benefactor, today's coffin money, Liu Niang will definitely double it back to the benefactor in the future." ”
The dumb man helped her up, glanced at the new grave, and said, "Your eldest brother is a respectable man. ”
On the way, she had already told him that because her parents were kind to Chen Feng, Chen Feng had been taking care of her when she was in trouble. The reason why she knew she couldn't do it was also for her ransom silver.
This Chen Feng and Liu Niang are both poor people.
In the Yang Mansion, Song Ran suddenly sat up in a panic. The copper kettle leaked, and the night was late.
She sat blankly in the bedchamber, raised her hand to support her forehead, and pressed it gently.
She felt that she didn't understand Shen Hanxi anymore. Sometimes he speaks casually and speaks lightly, but when it comes to the peerless beauty, he sits still and is as steady as Mount Tai. The one who took the initiative to send it to the door, he couldn't look at it, which was understandable, but yesterday, he had almost made clear his intentions for her, but he still didn't touch her with a finger.
If it weren't for personal experience, who would have believed that this important minister of the court, who "holds a murderous sword in his hand and sits on the power of the world", would be such a handsome gentleman in such a situation.
She suddenly smiled a little wistfully. No matter how good Shen Hanxi is, he is not her lover. Even if he treats each other sincerely, who knows how many people his sincerity has been given. He has always been beautiful around him, but I am afraid that there is no shortage of people like her.
She got up in her cloak and walked to the table and sat down. The candles on the silver table had burned out, and only a ray of moonlight lay quietly on the cold floor through the paper window.
She suddenly remembered her father. That man was also in love, but he was never lucky to her mother. She has been in the Mo family for nineteen years, watching him welcome those young and beautiful women to his home one after another. On the day she left Yaozhou, she still heard from her subordinates that the Hou Ye married a concubine with great fanfare a few days ago, and she was younger than her.
She often wondered, how can only one heart be distributed to so many people?
Thinking of this, when she thought of Shen Hanxi, her heart hardened again.
He was too much like her father, both with great power, both cold and paranoid. She desperately escaped from such a man's control, and she couldn't go back.
