She quickly reported to the official, but the government coped with the matter and did not seriously track down the murderer at all. The local county magistrate didn't care, so she went to find the county guard, but she didn't even see the county guard. Gradually, the entanglement was exhausted, and she could only make a living by playing the piano. Later, when she heard the guests from the capital talk about the justice and honesty of the king, she set out for the capital.

When he came to Qinghe County, he ran out of entanglements, and he was selling in the drunken red building, and was later favored by the county commander Huang Liao, so he has been grounded in Qinghe County.

When she stroked the piano yesterday, she suddenly remembered that she had been trapped in Qinghe County for nearly a year, and thought that her family's bones were not cold, so she was sad and played a lamentation.

The memories evoked the pain, and two lines of tears flowed silently.

"How can this be reasonable, this Huang Liao is really cowardly, he dares to imprison a woman from a good family!"

After listening to Lin Rou's experience, Jiang Yanxiang, who is usually timid, was also indignant.

Dou Yifang immediately ordered someone to summon Huang Liao. When Huang Liao entered the house and saw this scene, he knew that Lin Rou had told everything, but he was not worried at all, he knelt down calmly, bowed and bowed.

"Huang Liao, are you guilty?"

"The lower official doesn't know what Niangniang means by this."

"The woman who is under house arrest still says she doesn't know?"

"Niangniang's words are wrong, the lower official did not put Miss Lin Rou under house arrest, but Miss Lin Rou signed a deed of sale with the lower official, and the lower official has a written deed as evidence."

It turned out that this was the reason why Huang Liao was not afraid.

Lin Rou hurriedly defended, "I wrote down the deed of sale because I was deceived!" Please take a look. ”

Dou Yifang immediately asked Huang Liao to take the deed of sale, which was a white silk cloth, and the content clearly stated that Lin Rou voluntarily sold herself and was a geisha of Huang Liao for life, and there was also a palm print printed on it.

Things got tricky.

"Lin, tell me how Huang Liao tricked you into signing the deed of sale......

Lin Rou nodded and said, "The deed of sale that the slave family saw before was only written for half a year. When the slave was about to press the handprint, Lord Huang took it to the window to dry on the grounds that the ink had not dried. Then he secretly exchanged another contract to sell himself for life, and there was a fold to cover the handwriting, and then let the slave draw it. The slave family didn't notice it at the time, so they fell for him. ”

"Tell the truth!" Huang Liao said, "Niangniang is clear, don't listen to her side." ”

Although Dou Yifang has a heart for Lin Rou, but there is a deed of sale as evidence, even if Lin Rou was really deceived, she can only blame her for being careless, and she can't hold Huang Liao accountable at all. If you want to help Lin Rou in this situation, you can only show affection to Huang Liaoxiao, move with reason, and use your own identity to coerce and lure, so that Huang Liao will take the initiative to let Lin Rou go.

Huang Liao is also a person who is good at observing words and feelings, he saw Dou Yifang's thoughts, and in order to please Dou Yifang, he offered to return the deed of sale to Lin Rou. Although the result could not be as he wished, Dou Yifang could only accept it, and he had to reward Huang Liao against his will. Huang Liao thanked him, and then retired.

Although Huang Liao was not punished, Lin Rou was able to regain her free body, and she was grateful to Dou Yifang. Dou Yifang asked her what she planned next, and Lin Rou showed a sad and disappointed look, "The slave family has thought about it, go home." ”

"Home?" Dou Yifang was a little puzzled, "Don't you go to the capital to sue the royal court?" ”

Lin Rou shook her head, looking very helpless, "It has been three years since the case happened, and the county orders of that year have all been transferred, and the officials and officials protect each other, so this case can't be investigated." The slave family just wants to go back and guard the family's grave. ”

Dou Yifang pondered for a long time and said, "Since there is a grievance, why not investigate!" ”

The investigation is to be investigated, but there is no need for Lin Rou to go to the capital, besides, she is a weak woman, and it is dangerous if she does not take care of her on the road. So Dou Yifang repaired a letter and asked Zhang Wu to send someone back to the capital and present it to the king. Lin Rou burst into tears and kowtowed deeply to express her gratitude.

It was late at night, and Dou Yifang had fallen asleep. Jiang Yanxiang also fell asleep, but when she dreamed that her family was killed and woke up, she was scared into a cold sweat. She took a wooden basin and wanted to fetch water to wash her face, and when she went out to the kitchen, she met Zhang Wu who was keeping vigil in the corridor.

Zhang Wu stood there alone, looking at it from a distance, it was extraordinary. He immediately found Jiang Yanxiang and asked Jiang Yanxiang where he was going. Jiang Yanxiang said where to go, and he let it go.

When boiling water in the kitchen, Jiang Yanxiang felt hungry, so she steamed a few steamed buns, thinking of Zhang Wu's hard vigil, so she gave them to him after the steamed buns were cooked.

"Thank you, girl." Zhang Wu hurriedly said, took the steamed bun, and bit it in his mouth.

Jiang Yanxiang didn't feel sleepy at all, so she chatted with Zhang Wu, "I didn't expect the general to come to the vigil." ”

"There is a shortage of manpower, so it can only be like this, why doesn't the girl sleep when it's late at night?"

"Can't sleep, have nightmares......"

Jiang Yanxiang looked very helpless, looking pitiful in his eyes, Zhang Wu couldn't help but feel moved, but he quickly realized his loss of shape and withdrew the gaze that fell on Jiang Yanxiang. But he still felt a little embarrassed, so he wanted to find a topic to resolve this embarrassment, "What nightmare did the girl have?" ”

Jiang Yanxiang leaned against the railing, her eyes were sad, and she told the scene of her dream that her family was kidnapped and killed. When she told the story, she almost cried several times, but she still held back. She told herself to learn to be brave and strong from today onwards.

Although Jiang Yanxiang was expressing a dream, Zhang Wu felt that what she was talking about was a real thing. It's just that he was already so sad to see Jiang Yanxiang, and he didn't believe the inquiry.

The night was long, and the two people who couldn't sleep talked more and more, and they both told their own life experiences. Jiang Yanxiang's family is poor, her father is sick all the year round, and the family only relies on her mother, eldest brother and younger brother to support the family. Unfortunately, the eldest brother drowned in the lake, and the mother also became ill from overwork.

In order to share the burden of the family, Jiang Yanxiang entered the palace and became a palace maid. For her, her family is the most important thing. Every month, when she sends out the money, she sends almost all of it home.

Zhang Wu also came from a poor family and went to serve as a soldier early.

The two were basically in the same situation, so they had a good impression of each other, and chatted until the middle of the night, and under Zhang Wu's urging, Jiang Yanxiang went back to the room to rest.

As soon as she entered the house, Jiang Yanxiang saw Dou Yi's room sitting in front of the lamp, and was startled.

It turned out that Dou Yifang was thirsty in the middle of the night, so he couldn't call Jiang Yanxiang to get up by himself, and suddenly heard a whisper outside the house, and opened the crack in the door to learn that it was Jiang Yanxiang and Zhang Wu chatting. Seeing that the two were chatting happily, she didn't bother. At this moment, she looked at Jiang Yanxiang with a smile, as if she had found Jiang Yanxiang's secret.

Jiang Yanxiang hurriedly went up and asked what Dou Yifang needed, her heart was empty, and she didn't dare to look at Dou Yifang.

Dou Yifang said softly: "Yanxiang, do you have a good impression of General Zhang?" ”

Jiang Yanxiang blushed and hurriedly denied it.

Dou Yifang didn't care, saying that when some things were done, he would be a matchmaker for her. Jiang Yanxiang was so ashamed that she went to find a hole in the ground, and ran back to the room directly regardless of her humility.

Dou Yifang drank a glass of water and smiled faintly.

In her heart, the five of them should have a home, and now that she and Wei Muyu are already the king's people, Han Lian, Jiang Yanxiang, and Qin Yilian can't always be slaves and maids. If the king didn't want them, she thought she couldn't miss their youth.

The next day, it was cloudy, windy, and cold.

Dou Yifang left Qinghe County and continued to walk towards Baiyun Temple. Lin Rou walked with them and walked together. Dou Yifang saw that it was windy outside, so he invited Lin Rou to sit in the carriage as well, but Lin Rou was flattered and didn't dare to make a mistake. After repeated invitations, I got into the car. In the car, the three women sat in the carriage, talking and laughing.

After walking for half a day, the sky changed and it snowed. However, the wind and snow did not stop them from advancing, and if they did not go, they would not be able to catch up with the next camp in the night.

But as they were walking along the road, a hunter suddenly jumped out and told them that there was no way ahead, and that horses could not cross. Zhang Wu didn't believe it, so he sent someone to investigate. Sure enough, several large trees fell on the side of the road, and they were still covered with snow.

This section of the road is a pass, and these trees completely block the way. It's okay if people get off the horse and climb over, but Dou Yifang's golden branches and jade leaves, how can he do such an unseemly thing?

Helplessly, Zhang Wu asked Orion if there was any other way, and Orion said: "There is a road to the southeast, and people are now taking that one, but it is a little farther." ”

After explaining the situation to Dou Yifang, Zhang Wu decided to take a detour. After this walk, I found that there are more than "some far" in the hunting account.

Nights in the mountains always come suddenly, especially in this cold winter night. The wind and snow are even better, Zhang Wu and others can no longer see the road clearly, just here, a little light is shining in the night.

An inn, this inn is just right!! How so? Zhang Wu inquired, if you go around this road, you can't get to other counties within half a day, and there are no villages around, if you don't stay in the inn, you will have to sleep in the cold. It's such a cold day, and I want to shiver just thinking about it.

So he wondered if the blockage of the road had something to do with this inn.

"Official, if you think so, you will wronged the shop...... shop" The shopkeeper said clearly, "Our inn has been here for a long time. At that time, there was only this path, and the continent was not yet passable. ”

Zhang Wu listened to the shopkeeper's explanation, and didn't bother to continue arguing, but asked the shopkeeper to prepare dinner quickly.

Dou Yifang, Jiang Yanxiang and Lin Rou are all in the room, Dou Yifang's status is noble, naturally he can't easily pavement the road, and when he enters the inn, he still wears a hat.

There were a lot of people living in the inn for a long time, and these people didn't seem to be very friendly, and they drank sullenly, so the inn was not too noisy. Because there were few rooms, the three women lived in the same room. To Zhang Wu's displeasure, the guard's room was partitioned.

Since they were wearing armor uniforms, they attracted the attention of the diners in the lobby as soon as they walked into the inn. When Dou Yifang walked in, everyone's eyes fell on Dou Yifang, thinking about who this was and what it came from.

Living in this kind of wilderness shop made Zhang Wu uneasy the most, especially the other residents, who looked like strongmen, which always made Zhang Wu not very reassured, so he ordered three people to be on duty at night.

The shopkeeper brought the food up, and wanted to send it into the house in person, but was stopped by the guard, "I'll come." The guard said in a cold tone.
