Chapter 35: Liberation from Prison (I)
Speaking of Li Qiusheng's trouble, Leifu is like an exploded nest.
On the same day, the horse housekeeper and a few subordinates ran all the way back to Lei Mansion, Lei Master has not come back from the next court, Ma Steward They can only be anxious like ants on a hot pot, and for a while they took it upon themselves to order a few subordinates to go to the middle of the incident to find traces, and a prince sent someone to the county capital Feng to send a letter to report the news, and then sent someone to Du Mansion to investigate in case of accidents. All in all, how messy it is is how messy it is, and it can't be organized at all.
After being busy like this for an hour or two, Master Lei still didn't come back. Steward Ma and the other people in charge had to lean on the gate and look around, and the people and horses sent went one after another, and came back one after another, waiting for the return of Master Lei.
It was almost evening, and Master Lei returned to Lei Mansion in a leisurely manner. Steward Ma and a few subordinates knelt in front of Master Lei and intermittently told the story of Mrs. Lei's abduction by Li Qiusheng, and the crying and mourning face was not less pretended.
Master Lei was also immediately shocked, and the doubts and anger on his face immediately appeared on his face. Old Man Lei was so angry that he yelled loudly: "Steward Ma, what are you panicking about?" Who do you know who dares to break ground on the head of the elderly? Dare to take the lady of Lei Mansion to brush? ”
Steward Ma immediately replied with sincere fear: "Master, I really don't know the little one." At first, the kid lied to Mrs. Lei and said that he was the third son of the Yan family who was kind to Liang Wangfu, and after he succeeded, he claimed that he was Li Qiusheng, and finally said that he was taking Mrs. Lei's life in exchange for Dong Yanzhi's freedom. If the old man does not let Dong Yanzhi out of prison three days later, then Mrs. Lei's life will be worried. ”
"Go, go, it's for Dong Yanzhi again, it was annoying enough to have a Han Gongzi before, but now there is a stunned Li Qiusheng who uses a knife and a gun, it's really hateful, it seems that this Dong Yanzhi's ability is still quite big." Master Lei said to himself, as if he didn't care about Mrs. Lei's safety at all.
"Master, you have to find a way to save Madame quickly, it's not good if it drags on for a long time. If that kid has no patience, then it's a groove, in case Mrs. Lei has something wrong, how can the master explain to Liang Wangfu? The steward cried again, and his chaff-like body was like a thunderous tree, crumbling.
I saw that Master Lei was not in a hurry, but laughed and said: "Steward Ma, do you think that my Lei Mansion is an ordinary people's house, how can you let a small person be frightened." Your lord has never seen any winds and waves, can you still fall on top of an unknown boy. Don't worry, let's hold Dong Yanzhi in our hands, and your wife will be fine. ”
"Well, what the master said is that the old slave was also in a hurry for a while, and he didn't understand the kid's intentions. Now that the old man woke up, the old slave finally opened his mouth, but he was still worried about the safety of Mrs. Lei. Steward Ma said ruruly, and helped the reading glasses under the bridge of his nose.
"Dad, I heard that my mother was kidnapped, you should hurry up and find a way to save your mother." Lei Tianyi didn't know where he heard the sound of the wind, and ran into the study crying and muttering, looking panicked and dumb as a death row prisoner facing execution.
Master Lei shouted angrily: "Rebel, where did you hear this gossip." You listen to Lao Tzu, there is no such thing as your mother. Is your mother still worshipping the Buddha in the monastery for you, an ugly man? Then he scolded loudly: "Rebel, go back to your east courtyard for me, and shut up your evil mouth for Lao Tzu, maybe you have a lot of tongues about something." ”
"Master, aren't you scolding your son? He's also anxious about his wife. Steward Ma said on the side, as if he hoped that Master Lei would open up to Mr. Lei.
"Hey, that's it, Steward Ma, you must not publicize this matter, and you must not alarm the Liang Palace. If someone comes to visit Mrs. within these three or two days, you will say that Mrs. has come to visit the Buddha in the monastery before she returns. In addition, tomorrow, you will send a few more people to quietly go out of the house and go separately to the vicinity of the place where the incident occurred, and then carefully investigate and look for it. Master Ben will go to the county government early tomorrow morning, and let Dong Yanzhi and Mrs. Hui Lei go. Master Lei was silent for a while before he said slowly.
"Yes, sir, please rest assured, the old slave will do everything you ask." Steward Ma also replied helplessly, and said no more.
The next day, as soon as Chaoyang crossed the threshold, Master Lei came to the mansion of Lord Feng, the county capital. The doorman reported, and Lord Feng hurriedly welcomed Master Lei in.
After two teas, Master Lei said straight to the point: "Lord Feng, what progress has you made in investigating the case of Dong Yanzhi stealing the 'Blood Wolf Pearl' from Lei Mansion the day before yesterday?" ”
With a wave of Lord Feng's hand, the servants who were waiting on the left and right sides immediately retreated, and there were only two people left in the hall, Master Lei and Lord Feng.
Lord Feng replied quietly: "Xiaguan, everything will be done according to Deputy Prime Minister Lei's instructions, and I will ensure that Han Bai'e, who is in the way and annoying, will not find a trace within three days." ”
"Hey, Lord Feng, this time is different from the past, I would like to ask you to release that Dong Yanzhi for the time being, as for the 'Blood Wolf Bead', it is not crucial. When the matter of the original phase is over, it is not too late for you to send Dong Yanzhi back to prison" Master Lei said mysteriously for a while, which made Lord Feng also puzzled for a while.
The two were in the secret discussion, and the doorman came to report: "Han Gongzi of Hanfu is visiting, do you see it?" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Hey, this thing is really a god, as soon as Cao Cao is said, Cao Cao will arrive." Please, let's meet Han Gongzi in the lobby. ”
The doorman had to order him to retreat, and after a while, he led Han Gongzi to the lobby.
Han Gongzi entered the lobby and looked up, and Master Lei actually came earlier than him. Without saying anything, he hurriedly saluted: "Hello two adults, Xiaosheng is polite." Ah, what a coincidence, Lei Caiye is also here, so it saves Xiaosheng's errands. ”
"Oh, what's the matter with Gongzi Han? We are so coincidental that you bumped into each other, it's better to come early than to be lucky. The old man also wants to listen to Han Gongzi's good deeds. Master Lei sighed, and asked pretending to be puzzled.
"Yes, Han Gong, you came to this mansion so quickly, what can you do for you?" Lord Feng also asked jokingly in a disguised manner, his eyes had already swept over Han Gongzi's expression.
"Xiaosheng is here, of course, for the affairs of Dong Yanzhi of Du Mansion. It's just that I don't know why Master Lei came to the county government in person? Han Gongzi replied with a smile, and threw the question to Master Lei again.
"Of course this is for my family's 'Blood Wolf Bead', don't you know it, Han Gongzi?" Master Lei also replied with a sneer, looking very indifferent.
Master Lei suddenly changed his tone and said, "Master Han, don't bother you." Today, the old man came to Dong Yanzhi of Du Mansion, and the old man figured it out. Although the 'Blood Wolf Bead' is a treasure, it is not necessarily stolen by Dong Yanzhi of Dufu, rather than letting Dong Yanzhi squat in prison like this, it is better to let her go back, maybe the 'Blood Wolf Bead' will end up on its own. ”
"Oh, if Master Lei has this idea, it will save a lot of nerve-wracking things for the lower officials. The lower officials don't need to take such painstaking efforts, so the lower officials will send someone to release them. Lord Feng said this sentence in a quick voice.
Han Gongzi also echoed: "Okay, Master Lei understands righteousness, and Master Feng is shrewd and decisive, that is really happy, and it is extremely fortunate." ”
Master Lei slowly stared at Han Gongzi and said contemptuously: "Doesn't Han Gongzi hope for such a result?" ”
Lord Feng saw the opportunity to act on the side at this time and said: "Oh, Master Lei, Master Han, you just don't say a word or two, and I will send someone to release Dong Yanzhi from prison." ”
On the post road leading to Dufu, a young man in tight clothes leaned on the trees on the side of the road and kept looking.
A carriage galloping out of the county government was also slowly rushing to Du Mansion on the outskirts of the city, and one of the people in the carriage was Dong Yanzhi, who had just been released by Lord Feng, the county government.
At this time, Dong Yanzhi sat in the carriage and couldn't figure out, how could she get Lord Feng's parole for no reason in this bloody farce? Isn't this an oolong that is justified and inexplicable? Could it be that Lord Feng's conscience has awakened? Impossible, how can these become their compassionate hearts that eat people and do not spit out bones.
Dong Yanzhi rushed to Du Mansion in a daze all the way, and when she was close to Du Mansion two or three miles, Dong Yanzhi lifted the curtain for no reason and looked out casually.
For a moment, she felt that these familiar scenes in the past were somewhat intimate, and the rare freedom was even more joyful. She felt like a beautiful butterfly flying in the spring at this time, flying around in the flowers, happily blending with the spring light, forgetting her feelings.
At this moment, Dong Yanzhi's mind swept over the figures of the old bustard's mother, Liu Zhi'er and Li Qiusheng. She wanted to be separated from them for more than a year, and Li Qiusheng and the old bustard's mother were also safe and sound? Do you have this bizarre and helpless encounter?
Suddenly, the shadow of a person flashed in her eyes, and like a terrifying ghost, she was anxious and panicked. She shouted hurriedly, and the carriage came to a slow stop with the shouting, and the figure of a young man suddenly rushed to the middle of the road, appearing before her eyes.
Dong Yanzhi lifted the curtain of the car and jumped out of the car quickly, and while running wildly towards the young man in the middle of the road, she kept shouting: "Brother Qiusheng, Brother Qiusheng, Brother Qiusheng, you are here, you are here." ”
There was silence all around, and Li Qiusheng really stood quietly in the middle of the road. He didn't smile or stared at the oncoming woman intently, and he fell in love. He is like a woman who has been waiting for her lover to return for a long time, just waiting for the moment of meeting to tell her a thousand words, tender and sweet.
The figures of the two young people were tightly attached to each other, the sunset was lonely, the light smoke and the slanting sun flew by in the lingering, and everything in their hearts became meaningful and life.
"Brother Qiusheng, why are you here? I really want to die this year, Dong Yanzhi is dead. Is my aunt okay? How happened to the blue and white embroidery building? And the little girl in Tsing Yi? Are they all good? Dong Yanzhi couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart for a while, and asked continuously, leaving a little space for gossip for Li Qiusheng to ask questions.
"Yan Zhi, it's good to see you. Don't say anything, as long as you return safely, my wish is fulfilled. Let's go, we can't stay here for a long time, or disaster will come." Li Qiusheng hurriedly interrupted Dong Yanzhi's topic and said, it seemed that Dong Yanzhi was not allowed to hold back for a little longer.
"Brother Qiusheng, can't we stay a little longer? Why such a hasty separation. Is there anything else going on? Dong Yanzhi still insisted on asking what she had seen, and she didn't want Li Qiusheng to disappear from her eyes immediately.
Li Qiusheng stopped talking, and hurriedly pulled Dong Yanzhi to the carriage. Then, despite Dong Yanzhi's resistance and struggle, he turned around and hurriedly burrowed into the woods beside the road.
In front of the gate of Du Mansion, a horse-drawn carriage came straight along the road. The family raised their eyes and looked at them indifferently, and they ignored their idle eyes with a look of ignorance, after all, Du Mansion was so cold these days that even a grain of dust could not be stained, and the shadow of a bird did not fly by.
When Dong Yanzhi stepped down from the carriage, the people who watched the courtyard were shocked. Touching his stupid head, he ran back to the house to report the news.
Mrs. Liu heard the report from the doorman, and she also rushed to the gate as if she didn't believe it. At a glance, his heart was in a hurry, and he shouted in surprise and joy: "Mom, what kind of shit luck did Du Fu take today?" My niece and I came back from prison uninvited. God, you have finally opened your eyes and seen the grievances of Du Fu. ”
Dong Yanzhi burst into tears, threw herself into Mrs. Liu's arms and sobbed.
The sky passed the last wisps of cloud, and then slowly dimmed.
