"What is the reason that you are only allowed to have fun and not let me wander around? The yamen is not so domineering! Her face was pale, and she was a little out of breath.

"I went to the Honeysuckle Mansion because of the Yamen, not what you see. What are you doing here if something happened to the Meng family? I even walked in! ”

I haven't seen her for a few days, and when I see her again, her attitude is so cold.

Before that, she exchanged letters with the young master of the Meng family, pretending that someone else's deceased wife was alive; On that day, he was very worried about the Meng family, and he did not hesitate to praise Meng Yuanzhou; the specious arrangements made to her by the Meng family's subordinates; Today, he learned from Qin Rui that Meng Yuanzhou had worn a hairpin on her head.

Where was her heart? And what are you going to do? More and more, he felt that he had underestimated her abilities.

He can now be sure that she is not Wei Guogong's person, and she has nothing to do with Meng Yuanzhou, but he doesn't want to admit that she is the former Du Rulan.

"How can I refuse to let me in?" Du Ruo retorted.

"Aren't you accustomed to justifying? Why don't you wait for me to come over for a while? ”

A catcher came over and saw that the two were arguing, so he hurriedly took the letter and other things in Song Ju'an's hand and left.

"How did I know you would come." Besides, if she refuses to go in in that case, she will be tied up and thrown in.

"Speaking of which, you just want to go in and meet him." He said with a cold face.

"Who do I want to meet?"

"Who else but Meng Yuanzhou?"

"Whatever you want! You'd better think about it any more and take me off for a hundred years! ”

Du Ruo was shocked, angry and sad, full of grief and indignation, his eyes were hot, and tears fell down.

She wiped a handful of tears with her hand, and her tense nerves relaxed a little, and then she saw that Song Ju'an's sleeves were red with blood, scribbled and wrapped, and there were several blood stains on her clothes, and some on the left side of her face.

She held back her tears and asked him, "What are you......?" What's wrong? ”

"On the way over, I saw a few robbers." His tone softened slightly.

In fact, it was only after he walked out of the honeysuckle building that Qin Rui asked people to move, since he found him here, how could Wei Guogong let him continue to live.

"Hurt ...... Is it serious? ”

"It's fine."

"That'...... I'll go home first. Du Ruo hesitated.

"It's not safe for you to go back alone." He glanced around, not knowing if those people would do anything to her, "Wait for me first, if there is no use for me here, we will go together." You come with me! ”

Du Ruo saw him turn around and walk forward, so he had to follow.

Wu Dajiang and his subordinates were flipping through the letters and account books, and their mouths were full of exclamations.

"We have such a rich businessman in Fengling County! The Meng family's wealth is countless! It's comparable to the treasury! The scribe's mouth closed in shock.

Seeing that Song Ju'an had gone, Wu Dajiang hurriedly asked someone to give him a seat and handed him the letter, "Mr. Song, as soon as you take these letters, the Meng family will recruit them all!" They have been collecting money for the Duke of Wei! Selling smuggled salt and casting ironware, and even selling goods to several countries in the south, this is an unforgivable crime in our Chu country! ”

Song Ju'an calmly flipped through those things.

Du Ruo stood on the side, only to feel chills on his body over and over again.

"That honeysuckle is all over the building, it's ......" Wu Dajiang's hand holding the account book was trembling violently.

Song Ju'an glanced around, and hurriedly said: "My lord, these are kept secret for the time being, and you can't startle the snake, otherwise you won't be able to deal with them at all with this bit of people from the yamen!" There are also many martial arts fighters hidden in the honeysuckle building. ”

Wu Dajiang nodded like pounding garlic.

"You guys! Tighten your mouth for me! Wu Dajiang waved his sleeves, nervously instructed a few catchers under the shed, and raised his hand to wipe his sweat with his sleeve.

The news was enough to send chills all over his body, but the sweat on his body kept pouring out.

Wu Dajiang bent down and looked at the front and back, left and right, and whispered: "The arm can't reach the thigh, not to mention that the official is just a small county order, don't this matter is not presented to the capital, the official will ...... first" He made a neck clicking motion, frightened.

It's a risky move!

"Don't worry, my lord, you have been going to the letter for four or five days, and General Gao should also arrive! It's either tonight or tomorrow morning. Song Ju'an said.

Du Ruo stood outside the shed, and the people around him had been bombarded far away by the people of the Yamen. The Meng family was convicted of such a big thing, so naturally they all came to watch, after all, after so many years, the reputation of the embroidery village is outside, and the Meng family is also a family of goodness and virtue.

There are those who regret it, and those who do not believe it.

There are also those who swear that the Meng family has done evil, recalling the clues of the past to corroborate.

Du Ruo listened for a while, and the people inside were talking quieter and quieter, so she walked to the dry mound next to her and sat down, holding her chin and looking at the gate of the embroidery village.

After a while, Song Ju'an also came over and sat down next to her.

"What did they tell you when you went in?" He asked.

"They just asked me to take these things out and give them to Lord Wu, and they didn't say anything else."

"Then why haven't you been in there for so long?"

"When I went in, I didn't see people right away, I waited for a long time."

"Hmm."

"If he is convicted and imprisoned, what will happen to the young master of the Meng family?" Du Ruo turned his head and asked.

"The Meng family can't survive." He said.

Du Ruo's throat choked, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

He looked at the towering pavilions in the embroidery village not far away with a faint expression, and stopped talking.

After a while, seeing that her tears were flowing non-stop, he turned to her and said softly: "No matter who it is, it can't protect the Meng family, if you know why you bother today, Meng Yuanzhou won't know what will happen if he is discovered." ”

"How did you find out what the Meng family was doing behind in the first place?" Du Ruo asked with tears in his eyes.

"In the beginning...... That day, I followed Master Wu to the embroidery village, the sky was clear, do you remember the heavy rain for three or four days before? On that day, I saw that there were many deep ruts in the embroidery village, not on the same day, then it was the rainy day when the goods were shipped out, but the embroidery was most afraid of rain, and it was not the embroidery that was transported, nor was it a very light thing......

"I overheard that the Meng family is doing business seriously, and the goods were detained once when they went down to the customs, and the Meng family spent a lot of money to make ......" This was discovered by Han Liang.

"Also, the backyard of the Meng family is not easy for people to move around, I accompanied Lord Wu to be a guest in Xiuzhuang that day, and I wanted to walk around after eating, but I was stopped."

Du Ruo nodded, and Li Yao, the head of Meng Yuanzhou's side, reprimanded her for this, she thought it was just strict rules.

"There are still a lot of details that raise suspicions." Song Ju'an said.

For example, there are many masters in the embroidery village, and even Han Liang can't easily break in, and an embroidery village is inexplicably tightly guarded, which is already suspicious. That day, after Han Liang followed Wu Dajiang and blended in, he hid until the night before he came out to investigate, and found iron ore deep in the bamboo forest.

For example, the words she said to him at home, and the strange things she found.

"So...... What did you find out about the yamen? She asked again.

"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and I don't mean to make trouble." He said.

She was silent, and seeing that new blood seemed to be oozing from his sleeves, she said, "The wound should not be light, right?" ”

Song Ju'an's gaze also fell on his right arm.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't a bandage, probably because he didn't have anything at hand, he just picked up a cloth strap and tied the sleeve around his arm from the outside.

Du Ruo reached out and untied the cloth belt tied around his arm, pushed his sleeve up to take a look, and found that the wound was bleeding outward, and the wound was neat and deep, about a sharp blade.

How can this be called okay......

She wiped away the tears that were about to fall, took out a handkerchief from her body, folded it and tied it to his wound, wiped the blood from his arm with her sleeve, pulled down his sleeve, and tied it again with the blood-stained cloth band.

"You have to take the medicine as soon as possible, and it's not a way to go on like this." She said.

"Well, it didn't come in time." He answered.

"Did you get caught?" She asked again.

"No, they ran away."

"The blue sky and the white day are openly robbed." She couldn't help but be a little angry.

"yes, but ...... It's not too early now. ”

"Then I'll go find a carriage first, and I'll save it when I'm leaving." She stood up and looked around, noticing that the onlookers were gradually leaving.

By the time Du Ruo found a carriage from the town, a few yellow clouds had already appeared on the edge of the sun in the west.

She sat inside, and the coachman drove in the direction of Xiuzhuang.

The coachman talked to her while driving, "What is the little lady doing in the embroidery village?" The people watching there are almost gone, right? Actually, I just pulled people back from over there! ”

"I'll go and see, my husband is there." Du Ruo said.

"The Meng family is really bold to do such a thing behind their backs!" The coachman sighed.

"yes." Du Ruo responded.

"Huh? It looks like there's a fire over there! It is the direction of Xiuzhuang! The coachman was suddenly surprised.

Du Ruo hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked ahead, and found that the fire was soaring not far away, which was the direction of Xiuzhuang.

Could it be that the people inside don't come out, and Lord Wu is ready to attack?!

"Hurry up!" Her heart suddenly became agitated.

"Okay!"

When the carriage arrived outside the embroidery village, Du Ruo got out of the car and saw a continuous sea of fire in the embroidery village, and the red flames swallowed everything, like a huge wave everywhere.

The people of the yamen all stood outside with knives and waited for them, for fear that the people inside would suddenly take advantage of the chaos to rush out and escape.

Wu Dajiang was helped, his legs were a little weak, and he flicked his sleeves and commanded his subordinates to bang on the door.

Song Ju'an stood aside with his hands tied, his face was gloomy, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said to the two catchers: "The river that runs through Xiuzhuang tells people to watch, watch closely, right?!" ”

"Watch tightly, don't worry, Mr. Song!" Catch the fast track.

Song Ju'an was still not at ease, and hurriedly called two catchers to walk in that direction. When I got there, I found that there were indeed people watching.

He stood there and watched for a while, and then cheered up, not to take it lightly, and kept the two catchers he had brought with him.

Then he walked around the high wall for a while before returning to the place where the embroidery village was located.

The door of Xiuzhuang has been knocked open, and the people of the yamen are holding knives in their hands but they don't dare to go in, Wu Dajiang kicked a quick catcher in the ass, and said sharply: "Get out of here for me!" Look what's going on! The official still wanted to burn this Zhuangzi with a fire, but they lit the fire first! ”

Only then did Du Ruo know that the fire in the village was not done by the people of the Yamen.

She stood at the front of the crowd, her left hand on her right arm, touching the arm through her clothes, and tears fell down one by one.

There was a commotion all around, and she couldn't hear who was saying what, just staring fixedly at the darkening sky and the raging fire in front of her.

Song Ju'an saw her and walked up to her and said, "You go back first, I won't be able to leave tonight." ”

The Meng family burst into flames, and presumably those people sent by Wei Guogong had no intention of killing others.

"Why don't the people from the county government put out the fire?!" She exclaimed to him, "No wonder they said that today, they had already thought about it!" ”

Such a determination to self-destruct is too tragic!

"They're going to burn! Let someone save them! ”

"Meng Xiuwen is still young, he doesn't understand anything! How innocent a child is! Please, let him out! ”

"You calm down, go home first, and the yamen will take care of it."

Song Ju'an took her hand and carried her all the way to the carriage.

"No, I'm not leaving! I'm going to be here! She grabbed the wheel of the carriage and wanted to jump down, but was blocked by Song Ju'an.

"Send her to Donggou Village!" Song Ju'an said to the coachman.

The coachman answered, turned the carriage around, and drove forward as fast as possible.

When he got home, Du Ruo's crying voice was almost hoarse. The courtyard door was closed from the inside, and she knocked for a long time, shouting several times, but no one answered or opened the door.

She leaned limply against the door.

After being quiet for a while, there were footsteps in the yard from far and near, and when I walked to the back of the door, there was a person inside: "Ju'an, are you back?" It was Song Jinhua's sharp and thin voice.

"Eldest sister, it's me, you open the door and let me in." Du Ruo stood up straight.

"Ju'an didn't come back?"

"He's not coming back tonight."

Song Jinhua snorted, pushed the wooden door hard, and said in disgust: "If he doesn't come back, what are you going to do when you come back!" Stay outside! ”

"Eldest sister, you let me in." Du Ruo didn't want to talk to her about anything else, and his tone was a little low.

"You don't want to come in tonight! Get out of here! Song Jinhua finished speaking and left.

Du Ruo shouted a few more times, and no one inside answered, but she vaguely heard Cai scolding a few words in the house.

She didn't eat much at noon, and she didn't eat dinner at night, and even if she wanted to eat now, she couldn't eat anymore, but her legs were a little weak.

It was quiet, even the sound of leaves falling to the ground could be heard, and the air was humid, about foggy.

Du Ruo turned around and slowly raised his head, but saw a person standing a few meters away.

She screamed in fright, took two steps back, and realized that it was Zhao Jinbao!

"Hey...... Rulan, why are you only coming back now? Zhao Jinbao walked towards her.

Du Ruo retreated to the edge of the wall, picked up a palm-sized stone from the ground, and warned him: "Don't come here! ”

"I don't do anything to you, you're so afraid! They won't even let you in, so come home with me!" ”

"Go away! Don't let me see you! Du Ruo leaned against the wall, too lazy to take care of him.

Zhao Jinbao wanted to step forward, probably because he was afraid that she would really smash her, so he hesitated to stop and said with a smile: "It's so cold outside, you can't freeze!" ”

"What does it matter to you that I freeze to death?"

"I'm warm in the nest, Rulan, you go to my house! My mom and dad are asleep, and no one knows! He held out a hand, trying to reach for her clothes.

Du Ruo gritted his teeth and smashed the stone in his hand into his face.

Zhao Jinbao covered his face, but the stone hit his head, he sighed in pain, and screamed, which was particularly abrupt in this quiet night.

"You hit me! You hit me! He covered his head and shouted.

"What's wrong with beating you, I still want to beat you to death! If you don't leave, I'll go to the village chief! ”

Zhao Jinbao screamed and retreated, turned around and ran towards his house.

Du Ruo slowly sat on the ground against the wall, she buried her head in her knees, and felt that it was indeed a little cold this night.

After a while, she suddenly thought of Granny Zhou Ning, and raised her head.

Why don't you go to her? But at such a late hour, she should have fallen asleep, and it was not appropriate to disturb her at such a late hour.

She still has something to tell Granny Zhou Ning, and Granny Zhou Ning will be happy to hear it.

After sitting stunned for a while, Du Ruo got up and walked to the haystack on the west side, gathered the hay, and sat on it, so that he could only make do with it all night.

The next morning, she was woken up in a daze by someone splashing with water, opened her eyes, and saw Song Jinhua standing in front of her with a wooden basin, with a fierce look on her face, "I thought you were dead!" ”

Du Ruo moved his numb arm, wiped the water on his face with his sleeve, and sat up from the haystack.

"Dumb? Silence! Song Jinhua pushed her and asked her.

"Big sister!" She shouted, only to realize that her voice was hoarse, her throat was very sore, and her head was a little heavy. I probably slept outside and got cold.

She stood up and walked in the direction of home with a blank face.

When Cai went to her eldest daughter's house, she cried and complained about how bad she was at home and how she was wronged, and then asked Song Jinhua to beat and rectify her!

Song Jinhua followed behind her and sighed twice, "Look at you!" Who is hanging your face for?! ”

Du Ruo stepped into the door and saw that Song Jinhua's husband Shi Wanli was also sitting in the yard, holding steamed buns and chopsticks in his hand, and when he saw Song Jinhua coming back, he said to her: "Daughter-in-law! It's almost time to eat! ”

Cai's also came out of the house, and when he saw Du Ruo, he was full of disgust, and when he saw Du Ruo walking towards the kitchen house, he hurriedly pointed at her and said, "You dare to take a bite and try it!" See I don't sew your mouth! ”

"I'm just drinking saliva." Du Ruosha said to her in a hoarse voice.

She walked into the kitchen and scooped cold water with a scoop and drank a few sips, her throat hurting hotly. I walked into the west room and sat again, and heard Song Jinhua sitting in the courtyard with Cai Shi and Shi Wanli laughing and talking, eating.

After sitting for a while, Du Ruo walked to the table, found a blank piece of paper, pressed a corner with a book, and dipped the pen in ink and slowly put it down.

When she had finished writing, she dried the handwriting, folded it and put it on her body, looked around blankly, and sat for a moment before she came out of the room.
