It was into the dog days, and the fiery sun shrouded Yangzhou City. Countless pairs of eyes in the capital and ~ Jiangning are watching the Jiangnan Township trial case, but there is still no movement in the lobby of Yangzhou Mansion.

In the inner room of the mansion, a basin of Xiaoice was steaming with white cold, Qi Su Niang was lying on the embroidery chair, sleeping very unsteadily, and dreaming in a trance......

“…… My son, I have suffered you. When your brother comes back, no matter what he does, find a poor daughter for him, start a family, leave some incense for the Qi family, and live a lifetime......"

"Mother! Brother, he's not on the right path, and I-I can't persuade you-" Qi Su Niang took Qi Auntie's cold hand and cried, "I don't know what to do-"

The flood of mud and sand and rocks roared and rushed over, and when Qi Su Niang screamed in fright, a figure suddenly pushed her away, but she was swallowed up in a blink of an eye......

Qi Su Niang was big, "I don't know what to do-"

Qi Su Niang woke up from her dream suddenly, but what she reached out to wipe away was her face full of tears and sweat, she slowly wiped it clean with a sweat towel, and the footsteps outside sounded, Chen Yan sweated profusely, and hurriedly walked in, her vest was already soaked, "Su Niang, don't worry!" I inquired, and Lord Qincha quietly went to Guazhou to fish in the summer! ”

Qi Su Niang threw off the scarf, jumped up from the bamboo chair, and grabbed Chen Yan with a happy face, "Brother Chen, is your news true?" Where did the news come from? ”

"Once they tried the case, they went into hiding. Not checking? What is Yangzhou Mansion here, can I not know? Chen Yan took the herbal tea handed by Qi Su Niang, stopped her to sit down, looked at her and said, "Don't worry too much, I haven't slept well in the past few days, and I have lost a lot of weight." ”

Qi Su Niang heard that Qin Cha avoided fishing, and was full of joy, where could she still sit still, stood up and circled around Chen Yan, "Okay, very good." Lord Dutai is worthy of being born in a full banner and noble, and the emperor's favorite minister is a wide range of people and a good foundation, and Lord Qincha also has to sell face. As he spoke, Heshi muttered, "You must resist it, you can't let the Qincha adults continue to ask about the case, my brother has to be safe—"

Knocking on the door, he has been playing without a smile. Listening to Qi Su Niang's words. A few smiles slowly appeared on the corners of his mouth. While looking at Qi Su Niang happily. While drinking all the herbal tea in his hand.

Qi Su Niang was happy for a while. Come back to your senses. looked at Chen Yan. Carefully asked, "Uncle Zhang, Lord Zhang—"

Chen Yan was stunned. A slight smile on his face disappeared again. He bit Kali to death. One by one, he handed the fold to the capital.

Rei also bit him to death. He will be charged with any crime. Said that he falsely accused the minister. There are also books that were previously privately engraved. Slander the government and local affairs. Both sides are very strong. ”

"Then the emperor—"

Chen Yan shook his head. "The emperor is still waiting for the Qin Chadi to fold." looked at Qi Su Niang. "As usual. As long as the case is decided. The emperor just went through Zhu Criticism. This thing. You don't have to worry. ”

Qi Su Niang fanned Chen Yan and said softly: "The emperor has always valued Zhang Boxing and knows that he is a good official. Although Lord Qincha will not shake out the Kali, he will not do anything to Lord Zhang. ”

Chen spoke and then went back to the front office. Qi Su Niang sat on the green bamboo and was stunned, and Bi'er walked in with the cold sour soup, "Grandma can rest assured this time?" Lord Qincha doesn't ask about the case, Lord Dutai is fine, and Uncle naturally can't shake it out. ”

Qi Su Niang nodded, and shook her head again, "Unless Uncle Zhang can't do it, I can't rest assured." His official reputation is so good, I heard the emperor praise him with my own ears. Besides-" Qi Su Niang sighed, "If Zhang Boxing is fine, your grandfather will not come out, if Zhang Boxing has something, your father can't help it." ”

Bi'er was stunned when she heard this, "Grandma, where can I manage so much, and I want the uncle not to have an accident, and I want Uncle Zhang to be safe and stable, the scholars are making such a big fuss about this matter, and there must be someone who will come forward to take the blame." ”

Qi Su Niang was silent.

Time flies, the Qincha has returned to Beijing, and the new Qincha has come again, and the quietness of the scholars of Yangzhou Mansion is set off by the anger of the scholars of Suzhou Mansion, which always makes the newly arrived ministers frequently praise.

At the beginning of the year, the wind by the lotus pond in the government was cool. In the small pavilion, Chen Yan leaned on the Qingxiu recliner and pondered silently, while shaking a fan for Qi Su Niang.

The wind blew the candlelight flickering, dazzling Chen Yan's eyes and freeing him from his contemplation

He cheered up, looked at the bamboo products in Qi Su Niang's hand, cracked his mouth, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and said cautiously after a while: "The bamboo is getting better and better, you are sincere, the queen mother will definitely like it." ”

Qi Su Niang pursed her lips and smiled for a while, plucked the hairpin, and brightened the fire of the five-pillar candlestick on the bamboo table.

Chen Yan persuaded: "Don't embroider at night, waste your eyes." He took the embroidery work from her hand and put it in the basket on the embroidery table, "Come, tell me when you are going to leave to meet the merchant at the tooth shop?" ”

Qi Su Niang took the fan in her hand, chased the mosquitoes for Chen Yan, and sighed: "The emperor has sent three sets of Qin cha, but there is no result so far, I really don't feel at ease to go out." ”

Chen Yan also sighed, "No one is saying good things for Master Zhang Boxing now, and they are all covering up for Kali." I'm also afraid that if I continue to ask, I will pull out Brother Qi Qiang......"

Qi Su Niang bit her lip and held Chen Yan's hand, Chen Yan looked at her and smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry too much, Dong E's family, brothers, and salt merchants are all in a pile, making money, pulling relationships, and talking about favors, who can withstand it?" I don't think anyone sent to interrogate is the same, and I can't ask any questions...... It's just Master Zhang Boxing, he is alone, I'm afraid something will happen......"

Qi Su Niang looked at Chen Yan's wrinkled head and was silent.

Chen Yan lay on his back on the chair and looked at the dark sky, "The emperor is not a god, and he will be confused if he hears too many words." The next group of messengers was still on the way, and the emperor issued an order to ask the case in Jiangning City. Jiangning City is the territory of Li-"

Late at night, Chen Yan tossed and turned in bed. Wait until you go to sleep.

Qi Su Niang thought for a long time, got up quietly, put on her clothes and went out of the room to the study, lit the lamp and studied the ink, and wrote with a pen, "The Fourteenth Prince Taijian——"

Without a word, Qi Su Niang's pen paused. She slowly crumpled the paper into a ball and muttered to herself, "At this time, the crown prince is reinstated, and the fourteenth master can't take care of me anymore-"

The early morning wind was blowing gently, and there were few people in the streets and alleys of Yangzhou City.

The head of the sedan chair of the government hurriedly entered from outside the house, and saw Mrs. Futai bending down and getting into the sedan chair, "Madam, something happened again!" ”

Qi Su Niang tore open the sedan curtain, "What?" Did the Yangzhou scholars go to the dock to see off Zhang Boxing? Loud noise? ”

The head of the sedan chair team hurriedly lowered his head, "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, they heard that the new Qin Cha first summoned Master Zhang to Jiangning for interrogation, and the crowd was furious and made trouble again. After a pause, "Not only that, but most of the people in Yangzhou City have also gone...... It's not stable outside, Madame, don't go out......"

Qi Su Niang sat in the sedan chair, thinking about looking for Chen Yan for a while, and thinking about Zhang Boxing's Qingjie on weekdays, if he was wronged and lost his life - Qi Su Niang thought of this, gritted her teeth, and walked out of the sedan chair, "That's it, send someone to deliver a letter to Aunt Lian's house to Aunt Lian, saying that I left for Hangzhou today." Prepare the boat. ”

Bi'er packed up a few clothes haphazardly, and saw Qi Su Niang carrying the package to the door, "Bi'er, hurry up." Bi'er looked at Qi Su Niang's hurried back, and hurriedly told Zhi'er, "Wait for the master at home." He chased Qi Su Niang and got on the government express boat in front of the back house. In front of the cabin door, Zhou Xiangtian, who was already waiting, gave Qi Su Niang a salute.

The water was surging, and the government express boat rode the wind and waves and sailed out of Yangzhou Banknote.

"Big brother, am I dazzled? Why did I look at her on that boat? Shouldn't she be at our house at this hour? Li Siqin rode a horse and stood by the gate, looking at the Cao River, his face full of confusion.

Lian Zhenyun was stunned for a moment, turned his head from his horse, and a government guard boat on the river pulled full sails and sailed down the river, and there was a woman standing in the bow, as if she was in a hurry, and refused to sit in the cabin.

Lian Zhenyun thought about it and said, "That's right, it's her." ”

Li Siqin stood up from his horse, "She's going in this direction, is she going to Hangzhou?" She-"

"The big master, the second master, I can't get out of the gate now!" Even the big boat hurriedly ran over, "Zhang Boxing got on the boat and went to Jiangning, the outside was crowded with scholars and people, and the wharf was even more crowded. As he spoke, he heard a burst of crying and shouting, "Lord Zhang is a good official———— Lord Zhang can't go-"

Li Siqin said strangely and anxiously: "What's the matter? Can't you hold it down? How big is the movement? Looking at the river again, "What is she doing in Hangzhou-"
