(pink 992 plus)
After a night, the next day Yuyu got up early, she was worried about Lu Jun's affairs, she couldn't sleep well, Li Tai got up earlier than her, so she washed up, and Zhou Ren asked to see her outside.
Yi Yu knew that there was news about Lu Jun, and he didn't care about breakfast, so he pulled Li Tai to the outside room.
In the small hall, the husband and wife sat side by side, only Pinghui served in front of them, and the people next to them were sent out, Pingxia was guarding the door outside, with a mustache standing under the hall, dressed as a tea house man, and bowed respectfully to Li Tai's Yuyu.
"Little Qiu Er, meet the princess and princess."
Zhou Ren pointed at him and said: "Lord Qi, princess, this person is Yangzhou Yi'er Di, the Song family's affairs, he knows everything clearly." β
Yi Yu nodded, drank half a cup of tea to stabilize his mind, glanced at Li Tai again, and opened his mouth to ask, "How is the situation of the Song family now?" β
"Back to the princess's words, Song Dianjun colluded with the salt thieves and committed the crime, once it was found out, Hu Changshi sent someone to send a book to Beijing, and the approval came down, and the family has been detained in the Yangzhou Mansion Prison, only the eldest lady in the house escaped, and now it is being arrested."
"Have you got Hu Jitai's pen and ink, seal and seal graphics?"
"Yes, here." Qiu Er took out two pieces of silk paper, and Pinghui handed them to the Yu Yu to see, and sure enough, it was the same handwriting as the letter he saw at Song Xinci, and the seal was similar.
There are not one or two bandit nests in Jiangnan Shuizhai, salt thieves and salt dealers have been repeatedly banned, and local officials mostly turn a blind eye, but if the lawlessness reaches a certain level, causing public anger and affecting normal trade, and colluding with officials, it is a big case, and the news spreads to the imperial court, if the Son of Heaven is angry, he will also destroy it, which is also the reason why Song Enxiao took risks and wanted to make meritorious contributions, and it is also the inevitable reason why Hu Jitai wants to arrest and replace the dead ghost.
King Yue is fifteen years old, and he will be the official who will leave Beijing next year, Hu Jitai, as the chief of the palace, will not throw out the burden at this time, and when will he stay, will he wait for others to find out about him?
"In the past two years, the Song family has helped a young man from a foreign country, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall figure, and a handsome appearance." Yi Yu asked, pricking up his ears to listen.
"Back to the princess," Qiu Er obviously knew that the point was coming, and whether he could show his face in front of the big master was just this time, "There is such a person, he was exiled to Yangzhou two years ago, and his accent still has a Beijing accent, and he seems to be a person from Guanzhong." β
"Pounding" a few times, Yi Yu's heart beat like a drum, her face was nervous, her palm tightly grasped the armrest of the seat, opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak, or Li Tai reached out and covered the back of her hand, shook it, and asked her to ease her breath, turned her head and saw the faint worry in his eyes, reluctantly smiled at him, took the tea handed by Pinghui, drank a cup, eased her mood, and patiently, and spoke again:
"Stand up, don't kneel, tell me everything about this man, don't let anything slip out, you know?"
"The little one understands," Qiu Er got up from the ground, and didn't bother to tidy up his clothes, so he pinched the non-standard Beijing accent and showed off his eloquence:
"It is said that the summer of the previous year was about this time, the Dragon Boat Festival in May, the dragon boat race in May, the river in the west of the city was called a lively, the big girl and the young man all went out to enjoy the fun, the river bank was congested, the boat was halfway stuffed, someone was squeezed off the bridge, at that time it was called a mess, shouted a lot, panicked a lot, but no one went down to save people, this saw that the person who fell into the water was about to lose the top, and someone from the shore 'poofed' a fierce man pierced inββ"
"Who are you talking about who is in the water, it is the eldest lady of the Song family, Song Qingyuan, she was fourteen years old, and she was famous in our Yangzhou City. This rescues people, but it is a homeless man from a foreign country, the surname is unknown, named Ah Hu, who carries sandbags and carries goods at the bend on weekdays to make a living, and changes a few sips of wine to drink, this hero saves the beauty is a good thing, but he changed the rough work and the official lady, it weakened the wind, and later the Song family was also righteous, recruited this Ah Hu into the house to do things, who knew that he really picked up a treasure, this Ah Hu is strong, and he has learned a few martial arts in the body, and he is also a talent when he washes and cleans. He caught a thief in the house, and Song Dianjun took a fancy to him, and when he went out to ride in the car on weekdays, he was asked to drive a horse. β
Qiu Er, in order to show respect, kept his head down, and didn't see Yu Yu's increasingly blue face, the corners of his lips tightened, he came to the momentum, and the more he spoke, the more he painted:
"To say that this Ah Hu, is really the blessing of the Song family, last year in the summer, the Song family mother and daughter went to the Qingfeng Temple outside the city to ask for a signature, in the heavy rain, waiting for the rain to stop, unfortunate to meet a group of thieves from the north, seeing the mother and daughter wearing gold and silver, they moved crooked thoughts, want to take people away, this Ah Hu to one as ten, retreat to the strong enemy, can protect the mother and daughter, the injury is not light."
"Originally, this trip passed, Ah Hu was also regarded as a great achievement, who knew that he went to two months again, and in the autumn, this Ah Hu was kicked out of the Song family because of stealing, he had no long things, so he had to go back to his business on the bend of the river bank and do rough work, but because of his bad reputation, he was ashamed to laugh at many people, and he could only take care of food and clothing with all his strength - the prince, the princess, this is the story of Ah Hu."
If this story happened to someone else, Yu Yu might sigh with emotion, but knowing that the protagonist in the story was her brother who had been separated for nearly three years, in addition to distress, there was only anger.
What did he meet, the dignified Lu family, the direct descendant of Lu Zhongzhi, the prince of Huaiguo, who was reduced to a field where he worked as a coachman for others, and was wronged and framed by others and did not dare to speak up
Could this be his second brother, the second brother who was arrogant and said that he was going out to find his ambition and would one day protect her?
Li Tai turned his head sideways, looked at the angry Yu whose lips were trembling, held the back of her somewhat cold hand and did not let go, and asked Qiu Er with a flat expression:
"Where is this man now?"
"Back to the prince's words, this is strange, the little one went to the case to find him yesterday, but I heard that since Song Dianjun's family was arrested for committing a crime, he has disappeared, and it has been a month."
"Have you ever seen someone?" Yu heard her own voice.
"I've seen it, but the little one can't draw, otherwise he can draw an appearance for the princess."
"Pinghui, go get the portrait." On the ship, according to his memory, Yi Yu drew a portrait of Lu Jun with a burnt charcoal pen, which is not as beautiful as ink, but the similarity with people is extremely high.
Qiu Er took the drawing paper and looked at it carefully, and in Yi Yu's slightly cold gaze, he exclaimed, "That's right, this is Ah Hu, this painting is really like-"
A muffled sound of "bang" interrupted his words, and Yi Yu smashed his fist on the armrest, and the room suddenly became quiet, Qiu Er looked up boldly, and saw that the beautiful princess's face was extremely ugly, so frightened that he thought he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly fell on the ground, not daring to breathe, and his heart was whining and mourning.
After a long time, Yi Yu spoke again, "The Song family also has a cousin in Yangzhou City, is it also implicated this time?" β
Qiu Er swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Yes, yes, the Zhang family and the Song family were engaged last fall, Miss Song and Zhang Ergongzi were not married, and the family was implicated in this matter and was taken into custody and interrogated. β
After saying that, his mind turned half a circle, and he didn't know which nerve was wrong, so he knelt down and took two steps forward, and said, "About this Ah Hu, the little one still knows some hidden secrets, and he doesn't dare to deceive, the prince and princess want to listen." β
"Say."
"Ah Hu was kicked out last year, saying that he stole the Song family's things, but I heard Xiao Dao'er say that it was because he had an affair with the eldest lady of the Song family, so Mrs. Song found an excuse to drive him away, and then engaged to the Zhang family, breaking off the thoughts of the two," Qiu Er said, looked up again, and smacked his lips and said:
"This Song family is not kind, how can I say that Ah Hu saved their mother and daughter, no, it is three lives, use others to move forward, and get rid of them without others, how can there be this reason, I look at Ah Hu's character and appearance, that is, his background is almost, if Song Dianjun is willing to be promoted, it is not impossible to match a young lady, but Mrs. Song is famous for her sour temperament, and she has a little more power eye, which makes a pair of mandarin ducks bitter."
Yi Yu took a deep breath, her lungs were swollen and painful, and she had mixed feelings, she held Li Tai's hand, lowered her head and pondered for a while, then turned her head to him and said,
"Find someone first."
Yangzhou is not Li Tai's territory after all, and there is no news of Lu Jun after looking for three days in a row, Yu Yu can't sit still, her eyelids have been beating wildly for the past two days, and she always has a bad premonition, and after some weighing, she decided to release Song Xinci and use it as bait.
is not the bait of fishing Hu Jitai, but the bait that lures Lu Jun out, she believes that no matter how much a person changes, his temperament will not be very different, Lu Jun values affection and righteousness, and Bacheng is missing this time for the Song family.
The punishment of collusion with salt thieves is that the punishment imposed by the court is to imprison the people involved in the Song family, because Empress Changsun died of illness for less than three years, and the court did not give a light killing order, but Hu Jitai will not leave them alive, because Song Enxiao has his handle in his hands, so he does not dare to kill people for the time being, but after catching Song Xinci, they will definitely let them lose their lives quietly in prison.
Yu Yu guessed that Song Xinci fled, but Lu Jun didn't know, he just thought that Miss Song was still hiding in Yangzhou, waiting to save her life. Li Tai's subordinates couldn't find Lu Jun, but Song Xinci, a desperate woman, should be able to.
At night, Yi Ning returned to Lu Mansion from the south of the city and reported to Li Tai's relics.
"Master, they ran away."
"Very good," Yi Yu's eyes shone brightly, "keep an eye on people, take the portrait, once you see her meeting with people, don't startle the snake, come to report me first." β
Lu Jun is a bull temper, if he has the heart to save the Song family, Yu Yu believes that even if she appears in front of him now, she can't change his mind, she is bent on looking for her brother, but she doesn't want to have a gap with her brother because of a woman, which is why she is unwilling to start directly from Song Xinci and ask where Lu Jun might go.
Everyone has selfishness, Song Xinci has it, and she has it.
Li Tai supported his chin with one hand, looked at Yi Yu's squinted peach blossom eyes, and gently rubbed the sapphire surface on his index finger with his left hand.
