Ren Zhong and his friend Ma Zhitu traveled to Dali in Yunnan in 21 days.

He waved goodbye to his friend Ma Zhitu, regardless of the fatigue of the journey, and set foot on the road to Fan's house with his slave Sun Wang on the road to Fan's house in Baiyuncong.

When I arrived at Fan's house, the door was closed, and there were no people coming in and out, which was in stark contrast to the past when guests came in and out.

He was amazed.

Knock on the door with your hand.

After a while, I heard a question from inside the door: "Who are you?" I'll open the door for you. ”

Ren Zhong replied outside the door: "I am the in-laws of the Fan family. ”

As soon as the words fell, the door opened.

It was Mi Xi who came out to open the door, and when he saw the face of the heavy person, he was surprised: "Master, you can come!" Come on in! ”

When Ren Zhong heard his happy tone, he felt like there was a sound outside the strings, and he secretly wondered in his heart: Why am I here? Could it be that they really wanted me to come? Or am I coming at the right time?

As he thought about it, he asked Mi Xi: "How are your Fan family doing?" ”

……

Mi Xi bowed his head to lead the way, and did not answer Ren Zhong's question.

How did he answer? To say that the Fan family is not good, I can't say it, to say that the Fan family is good, but it is contrary to the real situation. can only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

But Ren Zhong didn't know the truth, thinking that he didn't hear what he said, so he asked repeatedly: "Young man, you didn't hear what I asked just now, right?" ”

As soon as he heard Ren Zhong's words, he walked faster in front.

The responsibility is heavy, and you have to trot to catch up.

So he let out a wheezing sound and said to the one in front of him: "Young man, you are young, your steps are fast, I am old and walk slowly, I am now a guest of your house, the host must respect the guests, you must follow the pace of the guests, to show everyone's demeanor." ”

Yi Xi listened to Ren Zhong's words, and had no choice but to slow down.

After the two were equal, Ren Zhong smiled and asked Yixi: "Young man, you are tired of the old man, go so fast, it seems that you have something on your mind, I didn't come to the Fan family once, the inner and outer corners are in my eyes, if you are busy, you will be busy with you!" I'll just walk on my own. But if I ask, I want to greet my in-laws first, and then go to visit my daughter in the West Chamber, which is not against the old reason. ”

As soon as he heard this, he froze in place, and said with a sad expression: "Master Ren, you don't know, Old Lady Fan passed away half a month ago, and the young lady was retried and imprisoned by the provincial government a few days ago. ”

didn't wait for Yi Xi to finish speaking, I saw Ren Zhong's body tilted as if he was about to fall, but Yu Xi was quick and helped Ren Zhong.

I saw that Ren Zhong was sweating profusely, the sweat on his face was dripping down like water, and his body was so soft that he couldn't stand upright.

Seeing this, Mi Xi didn't dare to slack off, and gently helped Ren Zhong to sit down on the stone bench in the pavilion, and it took a few seconds for Ren Zhong to ease up.

The first thing he said was to ask, "Say it quickly!" Is my little girl's sin serious? What's going on now? ”

Yi Xi looked at the situation in front of him, and didn't say no, so he replied: "First of all, the old lady went to the yamen to listen to the young lady's case, and she was anxious and died with blood. The young lady's case, we observers, are like a stuffy gourd. It's not heavy, it's still in prison, and it's not like the first time it's squatting. However, according to legend, the provincial government was imprisoned this time in order to send it to the imperial court for retrial. Isn't it ...... to send this to the imperial court?"

I didn't say it all. I'm afraid that my last question will touch my head.

After listening to Yi Xi's words, Ren Zhong shuddered in his heart.

Judging from his many years of experience in the sea, the case of the imperial court is equivalent to a case in the hands of the Son of Heaven. The chances of overturning the case and winning the case are almost zero.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, this breath was worried about his beloved daughter.

It's not a way to inhale and sigh like this, so he stood up and said to Yu Xi beside him: "The situation is urgent, I have to find a way to save the little girl and Steward Zhen, you put away the mud and tin products I bought for the little girl, and I will leave first." ”

After speaking, he handed over a bag of tin products he was carrying to Yu Xi, and strode out of Fanfu.

Mi Xi looked at Ren Zhong's back and said, "Master, slow down!" Good luck with great things! ”

Ren Zhong didn't answer Yi Xi, he felt that the little girl's case was really like a mountain and water at this time. His anxious fire account is about to come out.

Turning out of the alley, Sun Wang's smiling face immediately appeared in front of him, looking at Ren Zhong's uneasy expression, he didn't dare to ask, Ren Zhong didn't say, only said in a low voice: "Turn your head and go to Master Ma!" ”

The provincial capital is not far from Ma Da's house, and it only takes half an hour to arrive.

Sun Wang stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the inside of the door asked, "Who's knocking?" ”

Ren Zhong replied: "I am a good friend of Ma Shitu, called Ren Zhong. Mention my name and he will know. ”

After a few seconds, the door opened, and the family invited them in, while saying, "Master Ma will come to pick him up in person, and he is getting dressed." ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Ma Zhitu laughing loudly: "Brother Tai, we will meet again so soon." Fast! Come on in! ”

Ma Zhitu instructed the family: "Go and bring the prepared dragon well, and then call it ...... Oh, the one named Sun Wang has been brought to your house for a good treat! We have something to say here. ”

Ma Zhitu gave up the burden to the study, looked at his friend's anxious demeanor, and asked: "There must be something to do in such a hurry, let's say, what can I do, I will definitely help." ”

Ren Zhong listened to his friend's words, and tears of emotion almost fell. But he held back, he knew that men had tears and didn't flick them.

With a sad face, he told his friend Ma Zhitu about the injustice suffered by the Fan family and his daughter recently.

After listening to Ren Zhong's words, Ma Zhitu fell into a short contemplation.

After pondering, Ma Zhitu said: "According to what you said, this case is difficult to handle, and now it is waiting to be reported to the imperial court, and the case has been filed to form a file, and there is still a way for the two of us to come back before the case is filed and the file is not formed." At present, the only way is for me to have a brother in the imperial court, An Ruosuo, the governor of Yamen, and ask him for help. I'm not sure if he'll be able to help with it, but based on our friendship, I think he'll do it a favor.

Brother, you are waiting for my news in my house, and I will leave tomorrow. ”

Listening to his friend's words, Ren Zhong's heart finally fell.
