The carriage drove down the silent street, and soon reached the county lord's mansion. Shen Xiluo hurriedly got out of the carriage and slammed the door. Someone in the door came to open the door. The man was apparently asleep, awakened in the haze. He opened the door with a stomach full of anger, and wanted to scold, but when he saw Shen Xiluo, he immediately smiled and said, "The housekeeper's father-in-law is back!" Shen Xiluo said: "Wake everyone up immediately, the master is back!" ”

Wang Shuqiu looked at her mansion, although she had only been away for a few days, she seemed to have a sense of being separated from the world. When the county lord went home, the house was immediately boiling. Zizhu ran in cotton clothes, and when she saw Wang Shuqiu, she cried happily.

Wang Shuqiu said: "Zizhu, I want to wear linen and filial piety for Aunt Yang, you go and prepare." Before Zizhu could react, Shen Xiluo pulled her and said, "I'll tell you what's going on." ”

Yang Yinfeng's body has been put into the coffin, in the middle of the hall is a huge "lai" word, surrounded by white curtains, the house has been full of white lights, a very sad and gloomy.

Wang Shuqiu suppressed the grief in her heart and said, "Zizhu, tonight is Aunt Yang's first seventh, and I want to keep vigil for her old man." There was a burst of cloud board sounds, Wang Shuqiu cried loudly with Yang Tear like a mourner. At that moment, the people also wept together, and the sound was heard throughout the street. Only in this way can she make up for the guilt and self-blame in Wang Shuqiu's heart, and only in this way can she express her infinite gratitude to Yang Yinfeng, and she has regarded Yang Yinfeng as a mother deep down, and she longs for a sincere maternal love after losing her mother's love since she was a child.

Since Yang Yinfeng gave her a chance to be reborn, it was like finding a mother's love that longed for a long time. Seeing Yang Yinfeng's tragic death, her heart was like a knife, her fate was so unfair, she had gained a mother's love but it was shattered in an instant, making her fall into the endless abyss of missing her mother.

Just as the people in the hall were immersed in mourning, a man suddenly rushed in, he walked, wiped his tears as he walked, and called out in his mouth: "Ajuan! Ajuan! Why did it just go! He threw himself on the coffin and cried loudly, shaking his head as he cried, "Impossible! Ajuan couldn't just die like that. I want to see her one last time! "I was going to open the museum to see the corpse.

Wang Shuqiu got up and shouted, "Lord Xu! What do you want? Xu Kuangcha heard the haunting sound of these dreams, and looked in the direction of the soft voice, which was the person who thought about it during the day and dreamed at night. He slowly walked towards Wang Shuqiu, and when he came to him, he hugged Wang Shuqiu suddenly, and choked up: "Ajuan! It's great that you're alive! ”

Wang Shuqiu didn't think about Xu Kuang these days, suffering from love. But the thought of being insulted by several people was like a dagger piercing deep into the heart, unable to pull it out. She couldn't bear this kind of pain anymore, if it weren't for Yang Yinfeng's mother and daughter, she would probably have died.

Now that she has died once, she really doesn't want to face her previous love and hatred, and what she doesn't want to face or dare to face is Xu Kuang, the man who made her crazy, the man who dedicated her for the first time.

Wang Shuqiu was excited for a while, quickly regained her composure, and said coldly: "Lord Xu, I am wearing linen and filial piety, please respect yourself!" "The voice is not high, but it is very serious. Xu Kuang slowly let go of Wang Shuqiu, unable to believe that this was from the mouth of a person he loved deeply.

"Why? Why? Xu Kuang shook his head, he really couldn't figure it out, he was a stranger to Wang Shuqiu in just a few days, could it be that the relationship between the two was as fragile as paper? Is this really the fiancée who made herself swoon and couldn't think about it?

Wang Shuqiu was as cold as frost, and said, "If Lord Xu is not here to worship, please go back!" Shen Xiluo bowed down and said, "Lord Xu, please!" Xu Kuang was stunned, he rushed out with his head in his hands, and a hiss came from not far away. Wang Shuqiu had already burst into tears, looking up to the sky and sighing secretly: Xu Lang, it's me who bears you! I just hope you can forgive.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, here!" The people in the hall hurriedly knelt down. When Wang Shuqiu saw Zhu Changluo, she was filled with joy and sorrow, and her emotions were surging like a big water bursting on the embankment, and she fell into Zhu Changluo's arms and cried loudly.

Zhu Changluo stroked Wang Shuqiu with tears in his eyes, and choked up: "Good boy, I thought something happened to you. You are safe and my heart is put down! Han Benyong waved his hand to the people in the hall, and in an instant, only Wang Shuqiu and Zhu Changluo's father and daughter, Han Benyong and Shen Xiluo, the two personal eunuchs, were left in the hall.

It took a long time for Wang Shuqiu to be freed from her grief. Zhu Changluo sat on a chair and pointed to the coffin and asked, "What's going on?" Wang Shuqiu was busy explaining how she was kidnapped and humiliated by gangsters, how she was rescued by Yang Yinfeng's mother and daughter, and how she came back because Yang Yinfeng was burned to death.

When Zhu Changluo heard that his own daughter was raped, he slammed the table and said angrily: "Who dares to violate my daughter so boldly." This use! Han Benyong bowed and said, "The slave is here!" Zhu Changluo said: "You go to find out who dares to be so bold and arrest the real murderer, and this palace will definitely break this person's body into ten thousand pieces." Han Benyong said: "The slave must arrest the real murderer to avenge the county lord." ”

Speaking of the pain, Wang Shuqiu covered her face and sobbed. Zhu Changluo comforted: "Good daughter, don't be sad, as long as your father is here, I will definitely be able to be ashamed of you." No matter who it is, it will be punished severely. Han Benyong said: "County lord, the old slave assures you that the real murderer will be arrested and brought to justice to comfort your suffering." ”

Wang Shuqiu said with tears on her face: "Father, Yang Yinfeng's mother and daughter, Cui Wuyuan have great favors to their daughters. The daughter must repay them, and hope that her father will be gracious. Zhu Changluo nodded and said: "If you have kindness, you don't repay the non-gentleman, not to mention that we are royalty." Declare them in. ”

Han Ben used the edict to Yang Tear and Cui Wuyuan outside the door to meet His Royal Highness the Prince. Yang Tear and Cui Wuyuan saw Xuan and the two of them, and they were at a loss for a while. had to come in trembling to meet Zhu Changluo. The two of them are how commoners have seen the royal grandeur, and the first time they saw it today was the prince of the country, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was under one person and above ten thousand people.

Yang Tear and Cui Wuyuan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The grass people (people's daughters) knock to see His Royal Highness the Prince." Zhu Changluo said: "Flat!" Then he said, "Give me a seat!" ”

Yang Tear and Cui Wuyuan glanced at each other and didn't dare to sit down. Wang Shuqiu gestured to the two of them. Zhu Changluo said with a smile: "This is a private room, not above the imperial court hall, there is no need to be formal, but it is okay to sit." Yang Tear and Cui Wuyuan slowly sat sideways.

Zhu Changluo and Yan said: "You two are kind to the county lord, and this palace will definitely reward you." Yang tears, your mother passed away suddenly, and this palace also deeply regrets that I can't thank her personally. But the deceased is gone, and it is not permissible to grieve too much, so that the deceased cannot be blinded under the nine springs. The palace will choose a feng shui place outside the capital, bury Ling's mother, and give her a decree to show her virtues. ”

When Yang Tear heard this, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, crying: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very kind, and the people will never dare to forget it." Zhu Changluo said: "Yang tears, take a break from the ceremony, this is what this palace should do." Shiloh, get her up quickly. Shen Xiluo picked up Yang Tears, who were crying like rain.

Zhu Changluo said: "Yang tears, what else do you want?" Yang shook his head with tears in his eyes. Wang Shuqiu said: "Please ask my father Wang Enzhu to let her stay with her daughter." Zhu Changluo groaned: "Yang tears, are you willing to stay?" Yang Xian hurriedly nodded and said, "The folk girl is willing to be a slave next to the county lord!" Zhu Changluo patted his thigh and said, "Okay!" He added, "Cui Wuyuan, what reward do you want?" ”

Cui Wuyuan knelt down and said, "The grass people don't dare to ask for any reward!" Han Benyong said on the side: "The slave thinks that this Cui Wuyuan is a usable material, so it is better to keep it for his own use." Zhu Changluo said: "How to use it?" Han Benyong said: "The slave thought that this person had the power of Kong Wu, so that he became the captain of the Jinyi Guard, and stayed in the county lord's mansion, first, to protect the county lord, and secondly, to use it for the imperial court." ”

Zhu Changluo was thinking about it, and Cui Wuyuan said: "The grass people should not be Jinyi Wei." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is requested to send the grass people home to farm. Zhu Changluo asked: "Why don't some officials do it?" Cui Wuyuan said loudly: "Jinyiwei is corrupt and perverts the law, in the fish and meat township, he treats human life as child's play, kills innocents indiscriminately, and everyone spits on it, I will never join this dirty ranks." ”

Cui Wuyuan's words shocked the people present. Wang Shuqiu and the others sweated for it, for fear that Zhu Changluo would be thunderous, that would be terrible, how to say that he was also the future emperor. also holds a certain amount of power over life and death.

Han Ben used his book to be loudly reprimanded. Who knew that Zhu Changluo was not angry but laughed, he slapped his thigh, pointed at Cui Wuyuan, and said, "Well said!" You can say that again! Then he sighed: "Jinyiwei is doing nonsense, and this palace doesn't know it." Not only Jinyiwei, but even the entire imperial court, alas, don't talk about it! ”

After a pause, he said: "The officialdom will be without a heroic man like you, if everyone is like you, the court is clean, and there is hope for the Ming Dynasty." This palace really wants to rule the whole government and change the wind of corruption, but unfortunately there is no one around to help. Cui Wuyuan, this palace admires you very much. Just now you said that Jinyiwei is spit on by everyone, do you have the ability to change the dirty style of Jinyiwei and make it benefit the people. Less unjust imprisonment and more justice. Isn't that a matter of great significance? ”

Cui Wuyuan said: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has this intention, the grass people will follow the work of dogs and horses." Zhu Changluo said: "Okay! Worthy of being a real man. Originally, the palace wants to promote him to the general banner of Jinyi Wei, you go and arrange it. Han Benyong said: "Yes! Zhu Changluo said: "This palace's exceptional promotion this time is to fancy your drive, don't let this palace down." Cui Wuyuan hugged his fists and said: "Yes!" ”

Wang Shuqiu and the others saw that Cui Wuyuan was not only not responsible, but also extraordinarily promoted, and they were all happy for him. Zhu Changluo said: "The county lord has the protection of your group of people, and the palace will rest assured." For this purpose, it is necessary to send more manpower, and it is necessary to protect the safety of the county lord, and must not repeat the mistakes of the past. Cui Wuyuan and Shen Xiluo said in unison: "I must swear to protect the safety of the county lord." In order to repay the kindness of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Zhu Changluo's proper handling made Wang Shuqiu's heart a little calmer. After burying Yang Yinfeng, Cui Wuyuan received the order and immediately assumed the position of Jinyi Wei General Banner. Zizhu suggested that he had been suppressed for a long time these days, and while Cui Wuyuan was appointed as the chief banner, it was better to go to the restaurant to celebrate.

Everyone also felt that it should be lively, so they went to Taibai Restaurant together. One by one, they came home drunk, and even Yang Tears, who had never drunk alcohol, poured a few glasses of tears.

A good night's sleep. It was already drizzling. Shen Xiluo had already gotten up, and a little eunuch came over to spread the word, asking Shen Xiluo to go to Ciqing Palace. Shen Xiluo didn't dare to slack off, and went to Ciqing Palace with the little eunuch with an oil umbrella.
