Almost all of the major government offices in Nanjing City are facing a wide street, surrounded by restaurants, restaurants and shops, which can be said to be in the middle of the city, therefore, in broad daylight, a person suddenly knelt straight in front of the General Military Mansion, which naturally attracted many onlookers. In addition to the discussions, more people also gathered.

Some say that they are complaining about grievances, some say that they are asking for justice, and some say that they are here to recognize Xiǎo and serve low, in short, there are all kinds of things. When the crowd didn't know who came to shout, saying that the kneeling person was the eighteenth master of the Jiang family's fourth room, there was an uproar in the four rooms.

"The eighteenth master of the Jiang family? Isn't that the one who was cut out the other day? "Isn't it? It is said that this master is making a big fuss, there are five or six concubines in the main room outside the main house, and there are two outer rooms outside, which is at most a romantic sin, and the most terrible thing is that he even married jiāo bandits, sī swallowed money in the public and bullied his brother-in-law............ It shouldn't be, he even calculated the second son of the Xu Garrison family, and when the official is angry, does he still want to die? If it weren't for the fact that a big man in the clan had a word to him at that time, he would not only have been swept out of the floor, but he wouldn't even want his life after a big meal! "Then why does this eighteenth old man, who is already so down, kneel here? If he wants the big man to dissipate his anger, he has to go to the garrison mansion to beg that Lord Xu to change his mind, and then he can find a way to make the clan turn around, right? ”

"You don't understand that, do you? Hey, count it up, the lady of the General Military Mansion and the eighteenth old man are sisters and brothers. If it weren't for the extremely unauthentic things done by the Jiang family back then, the Jiang family's backer now couldn't be harder. Faced with such an answer, the young man seemed to be stunned. And a few onlookers next to him saw him in such a situation, "full of thought that he was from a foreign country, so they were kind enough to analyze the old things about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds for him, and when he suddenly came to his senses, he nodded again and again, and thanked them" A few people waved their hands triumphantly. And the young man looked at the onlookers and pointed and poked, but the eighteenth master Jiang was still kneeling under the scorching sun, his brows furrowed slightly, and he withdrew from the crowd in a moment.

"Young Master, what are you doing in here at this time!" , Facing the xiǎo guy who came up, Luo Xu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and stood with his back against the big tree under the shade of the tree on the side, grabbed the most ordinary hat on his head and fanned it, and then looked at it thoughtfully. Sure enough, after a while, "I saw someone come out from the governor's palace and scold a few words to the kneeling man, and in an instant, the eighteenth old man seemed to be crazy, and actually slammed his head to the ground.

"I know it's wrong, "You adults have a lot, give me a way to live......"

The sound of banging heads and shouting at the top of the throat suddenly made the surrounding crowd quiet all at once. Under the big tree, Luo Xu's brows were already furrowed even tighter. Just as he stood up straight and was about to go out to intervene in the matter, he saw two people hurrying out from the big mén mouth over there. The two of them grabbed the arm of the eighteenth old man one left and one right, and "I didn't see how to make a gesture", so they gently and skillfully grabbed the person," and one of them raised his voice slightly, and mén spoke.

"Eighteen Master Jiang, even if you are expelled from the clan and come here to do something, you must know that this general military mansion is the yamén of the imperial court" And the master's surname is Yang, not Jiang! Take a step back and say, "Even if our old lady is also from the Jiang family, but the water spilled by the nv who got married, the Jiang family took this truth as a matter of course at the beginning, and now the old lady is naturally the same." Your charges have nothing to do with the old lady, so it's better to go to the ancestral hall to atone for your sins, and maybe there are people who sympathize with you to say a few words of justice! Recognizing that it was Aunt Liu, Luo Xu immediately shrank back and leaned comfortably against the big tree. At this time, the xiǎo guy on the side looked at it, but he couldn't help it, and immediately leaned into Luo Xu's ear and asked: "Young Master, this trouble doesn't look like a good way, could it be that someone is secretly calculating, otherwise, let's ......"

"What's the hurry, and look, she's seen a lot of this kind of xiǎo trick, and it's hard for her!"

Sure enough, after Aunt Liu's fried beans were counted, the kneeling eighteenth old man was choked and speechless for a while, and the onlookers were already talking. And without waiting for the Eighteenth Master to have a chance to speak, Aunt Yun followed and said unhurriedly: "Eighteenth Master Jiang said to let you live, this sī swallows the money in the public, there is always an account book to record, could it be that someone else arranged it?" This bullying sibling brother, but the younger brother born by one of your stepmothers squeezed out the eldest son of the Yuan spouse and took the family property, is this still someone wronging you? Besides, there aren't one or two people in the Jiang family who have been intimidated and injured by your envoys, right? As for the final plot Xu Ergongzi, you have to defend yourself to go to the garrison mansion, what is a big man to withdraw in front of this mén! ”

Aunt Yun was still kind to Yan Yue at first, but the more she walked back, the more stern her tone became, and in the end, she actually brought out a bit of sonorous sound. Not to mention that the eighteenth old man Jiang was dragged by her arm and was helped up, his face was pale, and he was an idler watching around, and the voice of the whispering sī language was even more Xiǎo at this time. If you want to talk about training people to quarrel, who else can compare to these two old people from Kunning Palace, not to mention how many words Chen Lan had been in before he came out?

So, in front of everyone's eyes, although he was in his early thirties, the eighteenth master of Jiang, who had been hollowed out by wine in his early years, was held hostage and couldn't move, and this piercing sentence of partial life continued to smash up, Rao is that he had drunk several glasses of strong wine before leaving, and there were other people's plucking, he still had a little fear. He tried to interrupt the two people next to him several times, but several times he was preempted, and when he finally saw the hole, he heard a shout from the crowd.

"What this mother said just now is really reasonable, the manly husband ran away from people's mouths, it's really shameless!" As soon as these words came out, the people next to him also moved, and as the people talked about it, more and more people showed disdainful expressions. As the gazes cast by those came became more and more piercing, and as the pointing movements became more and more unscrupulous, someone who was already caught and couldn't move finally became angry.

Seeing this scene, Luo Xu, who was enjoying the shade under the big tree, snorted lightly: "Wine bag and rice bag!" When he was muttering, a figure suddenly flashed next to him, "It is the xiǎo guy who followed him first." He bent over with a grin, and then said softly, "Young Master, my voice is good, right?" "If you don't have the foreshadowing of what you said before, you're just shouting that it's useless!" Luo Xu casually flicked his shirt and stood up straight, seeing that Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu were actually carrying people into the General Soldier's Mansion, and the crowd of onlookers outside gradually dispersed, he smiled slightly, "Come on, the excitement is all over, I think that those who are instigated to play monkey play here will not be bō bō one after another" Then it's time to get down to business. Call everyone together, today's task is very heavy, who made someone crazy? ”

When Luo Xu quietly left with the people, in the Xiǎo room behind the mén room of the General Soldier's Mansion, Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu, who had put the person in, casually put the person on a chair "Seeing that the person was crooked, he fell softly to the ground along the chair, and the two glanced at each other, and unconsciously pursed their lips at the same time. Aunt Liu clapped her hands angrily and said, "Such a big man, but he can't help but be weak and can just mention it, and I don't know how I live on weekdays." This is still the kindness of the lady, otherwise let him pass out in the sun, "Let's go out and bring people in, and we can save the boss a mouthful!" ”

"If it really stuns people, then someone will say that we won't leave. Just now, the two of us were in a gear, and he was so dizzy, knowledgeable people naturally knew that he was at fault. It's not for anything else that people are brought in at this time, isn't it just that there are people in the onlookers who are instructed to do it? "Aunt Yun bent down as she spoke," her hand skillfully pinched a few important places on his body, and said in her mouth, "Although Madame is young, she thinks carefully. This kind of person who has been bī on the road to a dead end may indeed be instigated by someone to take that road, and the person is carried in, but he will always have to ...... Hey, this is.........

As she spoke, Aunt Yun had already taken out a dagger from Master Jiang's eighteenth body. Raising her head and glancing at Aunt Liu, she cautiously pulled it out of the scabbard, but when she carefully examined the blade, she sensed that something was wrong, and when she got closer, she looked at it again, and for a while, she had been in the deep palace for many years, and her face suddenly changed.

"It's ...... above" Aunt Liu on the side only said these three words, and immediately sensed the seriousness of the matter from Aunt Yun's tense face, and gasped for a while, "Is it poisonous?" ”

"You watch here, I'll go back to Madame."

Aunt Yun said such a sentence concisely, and seeing that Aunt Liu had no objection, she took the dagger back to the scabbard and hid it close to her body, and then turned to the mouth of Mén. Seeing that a mén in the courtyard outside who was originally in a circle immediately greeted her as soon as he saw her, she commanded in a deep voice: "There is no need for you here, you go back to mén, and let the other three also mention the jīng god to guard the mén household." ”

"Yes, xiǎo's clear nose!"

Seeing that mén nodded and agreed, as soon as he turned around, he ran out, and Yun Shigu also followed out of the courtyard, but went straight to Ermén. Seeing a few rough mothers-in-law coming forward, she paused and pointed to two safe and reliable ones.

"You go to the side courtyard next to the mén room in front of you, just guard in the courtyard, listen to Aunt Liu's instructions in everything, and if you have anything to say, go directly to the second mén to report!"

"Yes!"

After the assignment, Aunt Yun sped up her steps. When she entered the East Xiǎo Courtyard, she ignored Yun'er's smiling greetings, and went straight into the central main room with a straight face. And even if Yun'er was used to seeing her usual cold face, she couldn't help but wink at the red tassel on the side and said, "Yes, it seems that the eighteenth old man has provoked Aunt Yun, and that face is even more terrifying than usual." Normally, if you only owe a hundred taels of silver, you owe at least a thousand taels now,"

"You, it's just that your mouth is poisonous, and Aunt Yun's ears are pointy! I really don't know where the eighteenth master of the Jiang family came from, and he dared to come to us to make trouble! ”

In the room, when Chen Lan took the dagger handed by Aunt Yun, she immediately pulled it out and took a serious look at it, although she couldn't see many clues, and Aunt Yun hadn't explained it yet, but she still had an extremely solemn expression for a moment. Looking at Aunt Yun with inquiring eyes, she nodded lightly when she saw that she was imperceptible, she unconsciously held the armrest tightly, frowned slightly, and stretched out a little bit.

"Aunt Yun still remembers what happened in the capital after the Chinese New Year last year?"

These brainless words were heard in Aunt Yun's ears, but they made her feel terrified. After glancing at Chen Lan, she lowered her head calmly and said respectfully: "The slave naturally remembers." At the beginning of last year, King Wu committed suicide, followed by Dongchang Hou to sit on the crime and abandon the city, Dongchang Hou's family committed suicide, and then followed the Datong general Fan Xitong to commit suicide with a horizontal sword, and Zhang Ge, who returned to his hometown, died of illness.

"Although these people are all guilty of sin, not everyone is bound to die, especially the family of Dongchanghou." Chen Lan squeezed the handle of the dagger tightly, and his knuckles even turned a little pale because of excessive force, "However, they all died one after another. Although those who committed suicide are said to have committed suicide in fear of sin, and those who died of illness are only said to be caused by old age and infirmity, only God knows whether there is another hidden story behind it...... However, Aunt Yun seems to have missed one more thing. ”

Seeing Aunt Yun's face, Chen Lan suddenly sneered: "Aunt Yun has not forgotten the two girls that Mrs. Runing Bo sent to the Mirror Garden?" If I hadn't paid attention at that time, the two of them would have turned their bones to ashes! ”

For an insignificant person like Ziyu, Aunt Yun had almost no impression, but when Chen Lan mentioned it at this time, she immediately woke up. Although their identities are very different, "But aren't those two girls really lucky to pick up a life?" At this moment, "even though she was used to seeing life and death in the palace, she still gently pressed the xiōng mouth."

"Today, too, thanks to Mrs. for reminding, otherwise, if you don't search your body, if the eighteenth master of the Jiang family takes this knife and cuts it on himself" or is desperate, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"I'm not a prophet of the future," you can tell if he really has this thing with him. Chen Lan smiled bitterly, leaned his head on the lotus leaf head at the back, and then sighed and said, "I'm just afraid that the dog will jump off the wall with some murder weapon, and when the dog jumps off the wall and hurts someone, who knows that it will be a poisonous dagger...... Moreover, I am afraid that others would not think that you would bring someone into the General Military Mansion, probably because you want him to behave in front of the General Military Mansion, so that things can be caused in the city. Now that I think about it, this trick is really the same as those techniques in the past, the same unsparing, the same sinister and vicious, the same despicable and shameless! ”

When he said the last four words, Chen Lan's voice was already full of anger. Almost subconsciously, she stood up and walked around the desk for a long time before finally stopping! "Send someone to check on his house immediately, move quickly, be secretive, if you can't find it for a while, go and let the secret guards of my mother go out! If everyone is safe and sound, then take a few wagons and take them to a safe place...... No, it's right here! Even the outer room! ”

Aunt Yun reacted in an instant, and after nodding, she remembered the Jiang family, and couldn't help but remind: "Madam, maybe it's just the eighteenth master's own idea, he doesn't look like a person who dares to give up his life, maybe he just wants to lure the old lady out by committing suicide, and then hold someone hostage and talk about what conditions?" If we take someone over, will it be in his arms, and besides, the old lady hates them after all, if you know that you have taken someone over......

"I'm there for the old lady! Even if it's a false alarm, it's better than being caught off guard afterwards. You just said that he doesn't look like a person who can give up his life, that's right, his kind of person is the most greedy for life and afraid of death, but people who are greedy for life and afraid of death have to pretend to be and bring a dagger, why bother adding poison to the top? If he doesn't pay attention to the scratch xiǎo and breaks something, he will really die! ”

Aunt Yun opened her mouth to say more, but seeing Chen Lan's solemn expression, she didn't dare to say anything more after all, and immediately hurried out of the room. Walking outside to the bluestone road, she just had a little bit of a clue to the way she suddenly broke through~ It is naturally easier to take a bottle of poison yào and play a bitter ròu trick in Mén's mouth, but I think that the useless man is also afraid of being squeezed and has to come to the last trick, so he chose the knife. After all, the bloody scene when the knife is used is more sympathetic.

Thinking of this, Aunt Yun couldn't wait to casually change a dagger and let that bastard slash twice to relieve her hatred, but after all, this thought just turned around and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, in the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, Governor Feng looked at He Mingqin, who was sitting like a mountain in front of him, his fists clenched and loosened, and then clenched again. Therefore, when a notice came from outside, "It was said that Governor Ye had something important to discuss, he almost subconsciously bounced up from his seat, and then coughed lightly and said: "I don't understand what Dean He meant, the Yang family is full of spirit" actually took the prisoner away from me, which is a violation of the law and discipline of the imperial court, but how to deal with it, but this matter has to be discussed in the long run. ”

This was originally a word of shirk, but He Mingqin still sat in place and did not move: "It is true to think in the long run, but now it is an extraordinary moment, if there is no move in the production of Taiwan, there will be no room to turn over." Since Governor Ye is here, after the discussion, you might as well ask the producer to invite people to come, and everyone will refer to it together. ”

This request suddenly made Governor Feng stiffen in the face. After a while, he reluctantly nodded and said, "It's okay, Dean He, please stay for a while, and wait until I finish meeting Governor Ye before I make a decision." ”

Having said that, when he actually got out of the house and went outside, he immediately had a seizure. First of all, he scolded the xiǎo who had just come in and rushed forward angrily, and when he reached the study at the other end, he pushed aside a xiǎo guy who had just come in, and then quickly stepped into the east house.

"Too much deception!"

As soon as the words fell, he saw Governor Ye sitting there with a bitter face on his face, but compared to this subordinate who had worked with him for a long time, "The center of his gaze fell on the young man who was browsing the bookshelf with his back to him. When he looked up and down for a while as if he was a connoisseur, "When he finally turned his head, he was already scared, and his whole body suddenly became wooden.

Thanks to the wish he made in his heart just now, he really turned out to be King Jing!

"Your Highness......"

Seeing that Governor Feng was so easy to fold up and salute with a smile on his face, King Jing immediately waved his hand, "Then he sat down on the main seat behind the desk unceremoniously, and even played with the pen to wash paperweights and other things with great interest" It took a long time to raise his head: "Don't be so nervous, this king just went to Lord Ye first, and learned that he was coming to find Lord Feng, so he deliberately skewered mén with him, which can be regarded as a high degree of condolence and condolences to the two of them." A while ago, the city of Nanjing was still in a mess, and it was pacified so quickly, and the two of them deserved to be old ministers who had accumulated over the years, and they made great contributions. ”

These words are in the ears of the two biggest bigwigs in Jiangnan, and they really have any taste. However, the information that the two of them could convey by their gaze was limited after all, so even if he was up and down in his heart, Governor Feng could only barely squeeze out a smile.

"Your Highness is so famous, the minister is really ashamed."

"This king is overrated?" King Jing raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then said with a smile, "Of course this king doesn't!" The atmosphere of this Nanjing city is really breathtaking. First of all, it was rumored that the king and Yang Zongbing died together, followed by the scholars and merchants, and then calmed down after three or two clicks, such a vigorous and resolute speed is really rare in other places. However, ......, Jinling Academy has only opened some students, and this is luàn again! This Jiangnan, should it be said that it is the Jiangnan of the imperial court, or should it be said that it is the Jiangnan of Jinling Academy? ”

This last finishing touch smashed all the words that came to the lips of the two bigwigs at once.

The two of you looked at me, and finally decided to remain silent for the time being. However, King Jing had no intention of stopping there.

"Su Songshu is ripe, the world is full, although Huguang has moved a lot of people over the years, and taxes have to be paid more and more, but Jiangnan is the top priority after all. If it were possible, the king really didn't want to make trouble like that............ It's a pity that some people don't know the four words "enough"! ”

At first, it was just the usual laziness and idleness, but the last sentence suddenly aggravated the tone, bringing out a full sound of killing, and Governor Feng was in a huge mood for a while, and it was difficult to maintain the initial composure on his face. When it was easy to deal with a series of questions that King Jing was talking about, and sent the person out, he rushed back to the study angrily and looked at Governor Ye and asked, "Why did you bring him here and didn't even send me a message!" ”

"Then I have to send it out, this highness came in my sedan chair!" Governor Ye was even more ugly than Governor Feng's face, and at this time, he slapped coldly on the high table, but was shocked by the anti-shock force of the huā pear wood, and grinned, "In short, we can't lead them by the nose, let's lose the pawn and protect the car, I think the teacher will forgive us for being arbitrary." You can't break the foundation of more than 100 years just because one person is crazy! ”！。
