Chapter 64 Wen Yinan Visits Fengyuan County Again Gao Hongsheng recalls the past
Lu Fangyuan asked: "Oh, who is that, tell me quickly." ”
Yang said: "Wen Yinan." ”
Lu Fangyuan nodded frequently in agreement after hearing this:
"Thinking of Wen Yinan, a young talent, kind-hearted, the last time he was brave because of the danger of our Lu family, he drew a sword to help, and he is indeed a rare good young man in this world. I had already intended to marry my daughter to him, but I didn't know what people wanted. ”
Yang thought about it, and then had an idea: "You can ask one person to go to Wen's mother's house to propose marriage." ”
Lu Fangyuan hurriedly asked, "Oh, who is that?" ”
Yang said: "Ye Tong." ”
When Ye Tong heard this, he readily agreed. On this day, when she came to Wen's mother's house, Wen's mother saw that it was Ye Tong and said, "It's really a rare guest." ”
Ye Tong smiled: "I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." ”
Shi Yao and Xiao Qian knew that Ye Tong was coming, and they also came out of the West Wing to meet Ye Tong, and they all called "Sister Ye Tong" and greeted them affectionately.
Xiaoqian made tea again and brought fruit desserts.
Ye Tong said with a smile: "I have a discussion with Mother Wen today, can the two girls avoid it?" ”
Shi Yao heard "yes", but her face turned red, Xiao Qian just pursed her lips and smiled, and took Shi Yao's hand back to the west wing.
Ye Tong told Mother Wen about her intentions, and Mother Wen clapped her hands again and again, and said with a smile on her lips: "It's exactly what I want, it's what I want." Hehe. ”
In the Fengyuan County prison, the small bolt was tightly tied to the torture instrument, and as the leather whip rained down on the body, it let out a miserable scream.
The chubby warden roared as he wielded his whip fiercely, "I told you not to say it! I told you not to say it! ”
The little plug had been beaten and was covered in blood, but he only gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
At this moment, the door opened, and a jailer walked in and muttered a few words in the warden's ear, who wiped the sweat from his forehead, threw down the whip, and said, "Oh my mother, but I am tired to death." Then, he hurriedly tidied up his clothes and said, "Give me a good look." He hurriedly walked out of the torture room.
The warden came to the warden's room, but it turned out to be Xiao Jin and Gao Hongsheng, the magistrate, waiting and busy paying respects.
"How's the trial going? But what did you say? Xiao Jin asked.
"This kid only said that he didn't know that Zhao Xi was Zhao Jiangxi at first, but only later entered the Grand Canyon that he learned the true identity of those three people." Warden said.
Xiao Jin asked, "Has this little bolt ever told the location of Peach Blossom Villa?" ”
The warden shook his head and said, "This kid is sure that he has been poisoned by that flower, and he has hallucinations, and he has not really been to any Peach Blossom Villa." ”
Xiao Jin said fiercely: "It's a hard mouth, it's really not good, so I'll be punished." ”
The warden hurriedly answered: "Yes! ”
Xiao Jin returned to the secret residence of Fengyang Building, slept until midnight, and suddenly heard a gentle knock on the door: "Lord Xiao!" Lord Xiao! ”
Xiao Jin has always been accustomed to resting and lying in clothes at night, and the knife does not leave his body, he smells movement, and listens to the sound of Kou Huaien, the personal guard who comes with him, so he turned over and jumped out of bed and opened the door.
The guard's name was Kou Huaien, and he was no more than twenty years old, and he was born with a fair face and a strong physique.
Kou Huaien presented a yellow-colored letter in his hand with both hands and said, "My lord, there is a letter from my hometown." ”
Xiao Jin held the letter in his hand and nodded, "Okay, you step down." ”
Kou Wynn then stepped back.
Xiao Jin lit the oil lamp on the table, and by the light of the lamp, he saw that the book was sealed with vermilion lacquer and imperial seal, which was the secret letter of the holy book cloud.
Xiao Jin carefully opened the letter, read it from beginning to end, and was shocked in his heart, and shouted: "Someone!" ”
A guard in the outer room answered and entered the room: "What do you command?" ”
"Wynne, quickly go to the county jail and pass me the order, just say: suspend the interrogation of the little bolt, wait for the order."
"Yes!" Kou Huaien withdrew in response, came to the courtyard, took out a fast horse, and quickly left.
As soon as dawn on the second day, Xiao Jin came to the county office, Gao Hongsheng welcomed Xiao Jin to the study and sat down, and asked, "Lord Xiao personally came to the small office early this morning, what is the matter?" ”。
Xiao Jin saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said, "Sir, there is a decree from the saint that you and I will quickly pass on the matter of the little bolt to Wen Yinan." ”
"Oh, does the Holy One have any other wills?" Gao Hongsheng asked, twisting his beard under his chin.
"Not again." Xiao Jin said.
Gao Hongsheng got up and paced back and forth a few steps, then suddenly stopped and muttered, "I see." ”
Xiao Jin hurriedly asked, "What is Mr. Gao's opinion?" ”
"Do you still remember that the Holy Lord once repaired the book with a royal pen and invited Wen Yinan to go out of the mountain and enter Jiangnan?" Gao Hongsheng asked.
Xiao Jin nodded and said, "Naturally, I remember." ”
"It seems that the Holy One still hasn't let go of this matter!" Gao Hongsheng said.
"What should you and I do, Mr. Nayi?" Xiao Jin said.
"Hehe, I know Wen Yinan, although he has no intention of pursuing a career now, he is also a person who takes the lead in righteousness." Gao Hongsheng said, and whispered a few words in Xiao Jin's ear, Xiao Jin couldn't help but nod again and again when he heard it.
On this day, Lu Fangshan and the Yang family told Shi Yao about the proposal, and Shi Yao blushed and remained silent.
Lu Fangshan laughed: "Good nephew, this is the first time I've seen you like this." "The family affair was agreed on immediately.
Wen Yinan didn't see the shadow of the little bolt for a few days, and he inquired around to no avail, and was sitting alone in the conference hall secretly anxious, only to see Ye Tong walk in in a hurry.
Wen Yinan hurriedly got up and said, "Sister Ye Tong, why are you free to come over today?" ”
"Hey, these two days have made my legs thin, come home with me, there is a big matter." Ye Tong panted.
Wen Yinan has not been home to visit his mother for several days, and now he heard Ye Tong say that there was something big, and he didn't know what happened at home, so he hurriedly followed Ye Tong to his home.
After entering the house, Wen Yinan went into his mother's room, but saw his mother sitting safely on the Taishi chair, nothing unusual, and his heart was a little wider.
It's just that I didn't see Shi Yao and Xiao Qian talking with their mother, and I never saw the two come out, so I occasionally wondered in my heart. If in the past, when the two heard such a movement from themselves, they would have come out early.
"Nan'er asks my mother to say goodbye, what's the matter with my mother calling her son back this time?" Wen Yinan said.
"Nan'er, there is indeed something to tell you." Mother Wen smiled, turned her head to look at Ye Tong and said:
"As the saying goes, a man should get married and a woman should get married, and now your sister Ye Tong will be the matchmaker, is it okay to propose a marriage with you?"
Wen Yinan didn't expect his mother to call him back for this matter, he was unprepared for a while, although he was panicked in his heart, he only said: "My son is still young, don't worry about it." ”
Mother Wen said: "Still young? Are you in your twenties or young? ”
Ye Tong said: "Brother Yinan, don't say goodbye first, do you know who this family business I am mentioning?" ”
Wen Yinan hugged his fists and said, "Please also ask my sister to ......"
Ye Tong interrupted Wen Yinan with a smile and said: "Sister also watched you make a pair of heavens and make a pair of ground, so you came to mention it, do you know it in your heart?" ”
Mother Wen said: "Don't play dumb riddles with him, this girl is ......" Speaking of this, Mother Wen stopped talking, but pointed to the door of Shi Yao opposite.
Wen Yinan suddenly understood, his face turned red, and he was about to answer, when suddenly a person broke in outside the door and shouted: "Brother Yinan, are you at home?" ”
Everyone was shocked, I don't know what happened, when they looked back, it was Gong Zhao who crashed in, and couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Ye Tong, maybe they didn't expect Ye Tong to be there, so they nodded at Ye Tong and Wen Mu, which was regarded as a greeting, and then grabbed Wen Yinan's arm and said, "Yinan, there is news from the little bolt." ”
"Oh, what the hell is going on?" Wen Yinan hurriedly asked.
"A servant from the county government has arrived, and he is in the council hall today, saying that there is a small bolt to report to you." Gong Zhao said.
Wen Yinan was worried in his heart, worried that something had happened to the little bolt, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Wen's mother and Ye Tong, and pulled Gong Zhao and said, "Go!" Let's go! ”
"Hey! Whatever this kid says, just go, then this matter ......" Mother Wen raised her hand behind her.
"It's up to my mother." Wen Yinan answered loudly, and the person had already arrived outside the courtyard gate.
After learning that Xiao Bolt was arrested and imprisoned because of Zhao Jiangxi's affairs, Wen Yinan felt heavy. That Zhao Jiangxi is the emperor of the old dynasty, and the little bolt has something to do with him, and it will be a capital crime if he doesn't get it right, so he made up his mind and decided to meet Gao Hongsheng of Zhixian County.
Gong Zhao wanted Wen Yinan to go to the county government alone, so he insisted on going with him, but Wen Yinan couldn't help him, so he had to agree.
On the same day, the two rode fast horses to the front of the county government hall, and one of the officials invited Wen Yinan into the inner room, but left Gong Zhao in the hall to wait.
Wen Yinan entered the inner room of the county office, and Gao Hongsheng had been waiting there for a long time. Wen Yinan wanted to pay homage, but was stopped by Gao Hongsheng and said: "Yinan, there is no one else here, so there is no need to be formal." "Just ask Wen Yinan to sit on the side of the table.
"Lord Gao, I heard that the little bolt was arrested and put in the county prison, I don't know what crime he committed?" As soon as he sat down, Wen Yinan asked urgently.
Gao Hongsheng smiled and didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Yi Nan, do you know who Zhao Xi, Zhao Qian, and Zhang Qian are?" ”
Wen Yinan pretended not to know, and said: "These three people were originally merchants from the imperial capital, and they were led to Xiaoshi Village by Mr. Lu Fangshan Lu earlier, and I heard that they were bumpy all the way here due to the war. It's just that I somehow went to the Grand Canyon with the little bolt and didn't come back. ”
"Humph! This road is really confused! Nonsense! It has now been ascertained that these three people are not merchants in the imperial capital. These three people made Yin Liang in Fengyuan get acquainted with Lu Fangshan, the former Chaozhi County, and made up stories to deceive him, and he is still kept in the dark and does not know the truth. This dignified county is not as good as a little villager. Gao Hongsheng said angrily.
"And who are these three?" Wen Yinan asked cautiously.
"Listen, don't believe me." Gao Hongsheng looked at Wen Yinan carefully.
"Your Excellency, please speak." Wen Yinan said quietly.
"This Zhao Xi is Zhao Jiangxi, the emperor of the previous dynasty, and Zhao Qian is Li Qian, the prime minister of the former dynasty, and Zhang was Zhang Jin, the commander of the Praetorian Guard of the former dynasty." Gao Hongsheng said in a low voice.
Wen Yinan listened and nodded lightly, not surprised.
"Why, I didn't feel surprised to see Yinan like this, didn't Yinan know that there was a hidden secret?" Gao Hongsheng said sideways.
"To tell you the truth, when this little bolt came back from the Grand Canyon, he also said one or two things upside down. It's just that I just thought that the little plug was poisoned by flowers, and I didn't solve it for a while, and I just talked nonsense. My lord, when it comes to the identities of these three people, is there any real evidence? Wen Yinan asked.
"Humph! When the little bolt was captured, he couldn't help but confess, and besides, do you recognize it? Gao Hongsheng asked.
