Liu Ying only felt a buzz in her brain, and she couldn't think of anything for a while. Strode over and asked angrily, "Didn't you let you take Madame with you?" How is it now? ”

"Back to the master's words," Xu Huan told him what had happened before, "Madame went to the market early this morning. Our people, as always, are behind us to protect. There were many people in the market, and after a while, the lady went to the porridge shop to eat......"

In fact, after carefully sorting out the whole process, Xu Huan also felt that he was quite wronged.

When a boy of five or six years old ran through the aisle of the porridge restaurant, he hit his wife on the arm, and a small half bowl of porridge was spilled on the placket of his clothes. There was no way, so I had to buy a ready-to-wear in the clothing store next door and change it in. Xu Huan took people outside the clothing store. Because he saw that Zhang Yan's maid named Qingkui had been there, he didn't suspect it, and after a quarter of an hour, there was no movement inside, so he felt that it was not good, and let the maid go in to check, and the lady was gone.

He didn't care about the horror of the maid, he turned around and wanted to chase it, but he was stopped and entangled by a group of street idlers, and when he really got out, he couldn't catch up with the whereabouts of his wife.

"Xu Huan's death is not enough to atone for his sins." He bowed down deeply, not daring to raise his head, "Please ask the master to surrender, don't dare to resign." ”

"—When is this, and what is the guilt?" Liu Ying said, "At this time, the most important thing is to find out the lady." If anything happens to Madame—" his voice was solemn, "I can't spare you." Then he turned and got on his horse, and was about to hurry back to the city.

"Brother Lu," Bu Shi's brows furrowed slightly, and then quickly opened it again, and said with a comforting smile, "You don't have to worry, Shanan is my hometown, and I know each other very well." I'm going to help you find out the whereabouts of your siblings. ”

Liu Ying still kept a little sober in the midst of strong worry, he knew that in the local area, although the power of the government is strong, but in many cases it is not as agile as the head snake. Maybe you'll get some news. The most important thing is that Ah Yan is a delicate daughter's family, and if something happens, he can't do anything to make up for it. hurriedly thanked him, "Then please ask the master of the field." If the owner can help, keep it in mind. He will be rewarded with great gratitude. ”

Turning around, he rode his horse and shouted, "Xu Huan,"

"The minister is here."

"Go back to Shanan."

"You take my private message to the Shanan County Ya. He asked Tang County to immediately dispatch men and horses and wait for the dispatch. ”

"No."

The emperor was shocked to appear in Shanan, and the three souls of Tang County were shocked, and after hurrying over to pay homage to the Son of Heaven, they went out to send people to track down the whereabouts of suspicious people.

Liu Ying is in the house. Asked Zhang Yan's personal maid Qingkui about the situation at that time.

Zhang Yan suddenly lost her trace, and Qingkui also became flustered: "I don't know anything. Everything seems normal. The eldest lady asked me to wait outside, and she went in to change her clothes. However, after a while, the eldest lady was gone. ”

He waved his hand irritably, motioning for someone to take Qingkui down. Restless in the hall. After waiting for more than half an hour, the first person to come to the door was not the Shanan Mansion, but Ma Shang Bushi.

"Lu Langjun."

Not seen for more than an hour. Bu Shi's expression was a little more respectful.

"Bu field master, can you find the news of Neiko?" Liu Ying asked directly.

Bu Shi forced a smile.

He runs a huge horse farm, and the most important thing is his connections, and some of the characters in the north are recognized. The tentacles and network of the local snake for these things are indeed stronger than the government. There is also a certain number of identities in mind about the person who may do such a thing, therefore. Soon got a list of people who were near the place of the incident at the time. But for this reason, he knows better than anyone else. In the past half of the day, what private actions have taken place around Shanan County, and even the entire Yunzhong County.

"Lu Langjun, fortunately not disgraced."

"-If my people's news is not wrong, it should be Shanan Min's family who did it this time."

"The Min family?" Liu Ying groaned, and a trace of evil flashed in her phoenix eyes.

"Yes. About two hours ago, Min Ruo, the youngest grandson of the Min family, led a group of people out of the city from the east gate and went out of the city. As far as I know, the Min family has a Zhuangzi at the foot of Dongshan, and I think they brought their younger siblings there. ”

He swallowed some words and didn't say them.

Fang Laoqi, who was the best friend of him, told him in private that the Lu Langjun who was standing in front of him was not a simple person.

"What happened today is very evil. In the past half a month, there have been several forces entangled in Shanan openly and secretly, not to mention the men and horses surnamed Lu, who look unexpectedly strong. The people who appeared in the city at the same time more than an hour ago, in addition to the people of the Lu family and the Min family, there seemed to be people from the military camp watching from the sidelines. ”

Fang Laoqi also said that someone had come to the door a few days ago and asked him to come forward to get together with the Min family, but he watched cautiously and excused himself.

"Master Bu," Liu Ying thanked him, "Don't thank you for your kindness, when this matter is over, Lu will be thanked." ”

……

Dongshan Min Villa

The two maidservants came out of the room with the slowed down tent and whispered on the corridor, "The woman that Xiao Langjun brought back today is really beautiful. ”

"Is it even better than Yuhime?"

"How can that be compared? In my opinion, Yuji is no match for three fingers in the world. ”

"That's really good."

Turning the corner of the corridor, the smile of the happy maid suddenly froze, and she said, "Yuji." ”

The twenty-year-old female concubine had a charming face, and she had a hydrangea in her hand that was just in bloom, her face was ugly, and she reprimanded, "Shameless maid, the Min family bought you back to work, not to let you gossip, so don't go to work quickly." ”

The two maidservants breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked around. Yuji stood under the flower tree for a while, her face uncertain, and then turned around and went to the east side of the guest house. Seeing the guest house being cleaned from afar, one by one people kept moving the furnishings and furniture in and out, and I couldn't help but hate and envy. Sneered, pushed the door in, and saw a girl in a lotus coat sitting with her back to her, and turned her head when she heard the sound. It's like a natural thing.

"Sure enough, it grew a good color." She was jealous in her heart, and the words in her mouth became more and more harsh, and she walked in with lotus steps, "It's a pity, what's the use of being born so well?" She gave birth to her hand, wanting to use the tips of her long nails to scratch the girl's pink cheeks, "Xiao Langjun is not pitiful-"

Her smile froze over her face.

The girl leaned back three points, avoiding her fingernails. His eyes are clear, his heart is calm, as if his own provocation is like a gust of wind. Stretched out his hand and took the red copper beast holding pot from the case, mentioned seven points high, and gently poured it. The clear line of water poured down from the spout and landed in the lacquer ear cup on the case, forming a graceful arc. When it was less than eight points, Fang stopped lightly and appeased it with the little finger of his right hand. Return the pot to its original place. Picking up the ear cup, he glanced at Yu Ji with a smile.

Without saying a word, Yuji was already ashamed to exist without a place.

She was only born as a village girl, and her family was poor since she was a child. Because of his beauty, he was admitted to the house by Xiao Langjun, but he was only placed in this Dongshan Zhuangzi, and he never returned to the Min family's main house. He has never seen such a noble lady. I only felt that under the grace of the girl in lotus clothes, my vulgarity became more and more prominent, and I couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in my heart. "Who the hell are you?"

Zhang Yan took a sip of tea. When the lips touched the rim of the ear cup, the sleeve fell slightly, covering the movement. More and more, Yu Ji felt that she was dressed in a gorgeous hairpin ring, and she had fallen to the lower level, and she only felt that she couldn't shrink her hands and feet. Fang asked. "What about Min Ruoren?"

Yuji was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed. smiled gorgeously and desolately, "After all, you still have to compete with me for the favor of the same man after all?" What is more expensive than me? ”

"With Min Ruo?" Zhang Yan sneered, "If he hadn't used force to snatch me into the house?" He just touched one of my fingers, and I was disgusted. ”

"Impossible," Yu Ji didn't believe it, "Although Xiao Langjun is romantic, he has never robbed the people's daughters. ”

Zhang Yan's eyes became obscure in an instant, and they quickly recovered, raising her chin slightly and sneering, "Maybe it wasn't in the past, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist now." ”

"How do I know it's not you talking nonsense? No matter what you do, after entering this Zhuangzi, do you still plan to go out? Yuji sneered, not caring about it.

Her smile ended in Zhang Yan's silent and pitiful gaze.

"A piece of advice for you," Zhang Yan smiled, the cup in her hand rotated slightly between her fingers, and her eyes lowered slightly, "After leaving this door, let's go directly." Not everyone is something you can provoke, not to mention, "So far, Min Ruo is also difficult to protect."

Yuji snorted, "I don't understand what you're talking about." The man who came in from outside the door smiled coquettishly, "Xiao Langjun." The voice was sweet, nasal.

Min Ruo reprimanded, "Go down." ”

Yu Ji didn't dare to speak, bowed her head and bowed lightly, and quickly retreated.

Min Ruo turned to look at Zhang Yan, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I haven't seen you for many days, and Meng Niangzi is becoming more and more delicate." ”

Zhang Yan was extremely angry, and said lightly, "Min Xiaolangjun, you and I have a relationship, I don't know where I offended you, and I was forcibly abducted?" ”

"Offended? Oh, no," Min Ruo smiled a little wickedly, "Meng Niangzi, I put so much effort into trying to please you, but in the end, you gradually alienated me. Even if you look for vanilla everywhere, there are more than a thousand. You're still asking me why? ”

"Joke," Zhang Yan interrupted him, coldly, "I never asked you to find vanilla." You took the initiative to find it, and I paid 30% more than the market price for the spices you held. You dare to rob in front of the street, but you are just bullying me as an orphan girl, and there is no one to support me. It's just that you don't have a little royal law in your heart? ”

"Zhao Niangzi is really good, in Shanan, my Min family is the king." Min Ruo looked at her delicate face, and smiled with satisfaction, "Speaking of which, I, Min Ruo, am young and talented, and I am also handsome, am I not worthy of Zhao Niangzi?" If you can follow me willingly, I will not treat you badly in the future, wouldn't it be better than your small family living a trembling life? ”

He was about to continue, but Zhang Yan threw a faint look. The look in his eyes was slightly disdainful, and it seemed to have a little condescending gaze. He was a seven-foot man, and under such a gaze, he actually felt that he was low to the dust. couldn't help but be irritated, and sneered, "Or, what are you waiting for?" Is it the ranger named Meng Guan, or the kid surnamed Lu? ”

He raised his head and snorted, "I heard that Meng Guan's kung fu is good, but my Shanan Min family is not without good hands." As for the one surnamed Lu, I have also inquired about his details, and he looks like a big one, but he is just a distant relative of the imperial history. Although Lu Yushi is a character. But if I get you, can he still embarrass my Min family for a distant relative? Restrained Zhang Yan's body with one hand, wanting to tear off her clothes, while struggling, she suddenly screamed, hugged her left arm and got up, and a bloody hole appeared in her palm, dripping with blood.

Zhang Yan climbed a few steps towards the couch, looked at Min Ruo and sneered slightly, and held a bloody goldfish hairpin in her palm.

Min Ruo was angry and in pain. The heart subsided in an instant, but the anger came out slowly, and he stretched out his hand and slapped Zhang Yan with a slap. Said fiercely, "Slut." ”

He was furious, and the slap was extremely hard. Zhang Yan, who was with strength, turned her head, and the delicate skin on her cheeks instantly flushed. She has been pampered since she was a child, when has she been treated like this. A pair of bright eyes. But he only said lightly, "Although I am a woman, I also understand the truth of jade broken tiles." If you use it any more, you will only get one corpse. ”

Min Ruo was dazzled under her face, but she was also shocked. After a long time, Fang sneered. "Meng Niangzi, have you ever seen the fiercest horse?"

"Yunzhong County is located in the northland, and there are many wild horses. Horse trainers use whips. With medicine, using hunger strikes, using two or three months, no matter how fierce the horse is, in the end it can only obediently admit defeat and let people ride. There really must be such unknowledgeable brutes. A dagger will solve the problem. ”

He looked condescendingly at the girl on the couch, "What do you think." How long can you last? ”

He ignored it and turned away.

The snow-white scarf wrapped the wound in the palm of his hand, and Min Ruo instructed the steward of Zhuangzhong, "The ranger kung fu around the little lady is said to be good, you let the hard kung fu in the courtyard keep some spirit these days." If he is a loyal person, he can always find here, but don't let the prestige of the Min family be planted in his hands. ”

"No. - Xiao Langjun rest assured. Steward Jiang replied with a smile, "Now there are more than 20 nursing homes guarding the important places in the Dongshan Annex, even if the officials and soldiers come, it will take a lot of trouble." ”

"Hun said." Min Ruo scolded with a smile,

"The Min family is the most powerful in Shanan, and my brother is the staff of Tang County's Lingqin, and the relationship between the guest and the host is harmonious. But the obedient people of the Great Han. How could the officers and soldiers want to deal with us? ”

"What Xiao Langjun said is that it is a small nonsense."

"Xiao Langjun, Chief Jiang," the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy came in from the outer courtyard and said, "Captain Pang asked to see him at the gate of Zhuangzi. ”

"Xiao Langjun." In front of the gate of Zhuangzi, Pang An, who was dressed in official clothes, turned his head and bowed slightly, "This official has ordered the county to order the order of the lord to come here on a business trip." A thief was lost in the county prison, and because he was a prisoner who was going to be escorted to Chang'an in Qiulai, Lord Tang was very annoyed. Order the officer to capture the fang within a time limit. The official followed his trail all the way and found that he had entered the Min family's Zhuangzi. Please Xiao Langjun open the door of the village and let the official take someone in to search. ”

"It's really hard for Lieutenant Pang to work for the country." Min Ruo responded with a smile, "Since the thief is a criminal, Min is naturally duty-bound, and let them do the search." The huge people are old friends of the family, and they are invited to the village to drink a cup of tea. ”

Pang An's sharp gaze swept over Min Ruo and snorted, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

Zhuang Ding pulled the heavy Zhuang door back. The officials also got off their horses and planned to enter the village.

I don't know why, Chief Jiang had a trace of doubt, and after careful consideration, he saw that when the official dismounted, a faint iron light appeared in the corner of his flying clothes. With a sigh in his heart, he hurriedly shouted, "Close the door." ”

——

The Min family Zhuang Ding reacted extremely quickly, and quickly pushed back the half-opened Zhuang door. The official closest to the village gate was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and hurriedly rushed forward to push it, but the village door had already closed from the inside.

"Xiao Langjun," Chief Jiang was shocked, pointing to the officials below, "They have the swords of the army on them. ”

As he spoke, the officers and soldiers hidden in the shadows also showed their tracks, and the black cloth was outside the village gate, and there were five or six hundred people.

For a while, Min Ruo's heart sank, and he had a bad premonition, and he reluctantly smiled, "Uncle Pang, what do you mean by this?" How did you come up with such a battle? My uncle and you were drinking together the other day? What is there to say. ”

"Who's your uncle? You don't have to mess around with relationships. Pang An sneered and narrowed his eyes, "Min Xiaolangjun, do you know that when the official brought people here, your father and brother in the city had already been besieged and imprisoned. ”

……

"Little lady Meng is so beautiful," the fourteen or fifteen-year-old maid sent medicine to the wound, and at the same time kindly reminded, "Little lady don't walk around." I heard that it was the county lieutenant of Shanan who brought people to visit Minzhuang. Even if it is the county lieutenant of Pang, when he comes to our Min family's Zhuangzi, he has to be polite. ”

Zhang Yan's eyes flashed, and she said lightly, "Really?" ”

"Nature." The maid persuaded, "I know, the little lady is wronged. It's just that this world is like this, little lady......"

Zhang Yan suddenly buckled the bronze mirror in her hand, raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Min Lang-kun".

The maid turned her head in amazement, and fell down with a "clang".

Zhang Yan threw away the mirror in her hand. He changed the clothes of the maiden on the ground, helped her up to the couch, and covered her with a brocade quilt.

When he went out of the room, there was already a panic in the Zhuangzi. Slaves and maids walked between the inner and outer courtyards, worried and worried.

She walked down the porch with her head bowed. I found a vacant room at random and pushed the door in. Look around. Hide behind the lacquered wood Tianzi visit Shangshan Sihao screen.

Come to think of it, there must be many people out there looking for her whereabouts at this time, and she just needs to hide herself and survive this time limit.

The movement in the village became more and more chaotic, and sometimes a shrill cry could be heard. A thin layer of compassion floated in her heart. Most of these subordinates in the Min family's village have been loyal and honest all their lives, and they have not made any great mistakes, but they have been implicated by their masters. Suffered this catastrophe. But when she thought about it, if there was no rescue from outside, she would be in the situation she would fall into at this time, and then her heart was lightened again.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor outside.

Zhang Yan breathed tightly, secretly praying that someone would leave quickly. However, the heavens are always not in accordance with people's wishes. There was a babbling and the door of the room was pushed open.

"Mr. Jiang. How could my Min family be in such a situation? A man walked in, his voice furious.

Another voice sighed, "Time is also fate." "Old and decadent.

"Ha, time, life," Min Ruo's voice was heavy unwilling, "I hurt the Min family." When he turned his eyes, he saw the shadow cast on the ground, and his eyes lit up, "Who is it?" ”

Min Ruo carried a sword around the screen, and when she saw the screen, the girl raised a pair of bright eyes, and was stunned for a moment, "It's you?" ”

"Who the hell are you?" He looked the girl up and down, shocked, "Can I let my Min family's decades of business be ruined?" ”

Just now, news came from outside the village that the Min family in Shanan City had fallen, and his parents and family members were all spared.

Zhang Yan looked over and suddenly asked, "Who instigated you to rob me back?" ”

"What did you say?" Min Ruo was stunned for a moment, and his voice was obviously extremely irritable.

Zhang Yan sighed secretly and said again, "Who am I, am I still heavy now?" I think, more importantly, what can you do for the Min family? ”

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Yan smiled faintly, "It is really not easy for a family to grow and it takes several generations to work together, but it is enough to decline." The Min family has your parents, relatives, those people you care about, don't you want to do something for them? - As long as you send me out safely, I will protect their lives. ”

Behind the screen of Qi Mujin's petition for Shangshan Sihao, Min Ruo's eyes were dark and red, flickering uncertainly.

"Min Ruo," her cold words rang in her ears, "you are not the only one in this world, but also your father, mother, and wife, and you want them to be safe, don't you?" ”

"Let them lay down their weapons, go open the door, let the people outside, and I promise you that no one will touch your family." ”

There was a struggle in his eyes.

"Let's get out. Min Ruo," Zhang Yan got up, "No matter what, what I always want to remember is the young man who loves to laugh when I first came to Shanan and met by the Fu River." ”

"Let's die together." Min Ruo suddenly pounced and clasped her arms, "If you die, you won't remember those unhappy things." ”

The gate of Zhuangzi finally could not resist the attack of the officials and soldiers, and fell down heavily.

Shanan's officers and troops had begun to retreat in an orderly manner, and the Lang guards took over Zhuangzi's defense, searching for Beizhuang in the order of diverging from the middle to the outside.

"Get out of the way." Min Ruo held Zhang Yan hostage and forced him out step by step.

His steps were too big, Zhang Yan was dragged and stumbled, raised his head in the crowd, and saw the worried eyes of Liu Ying, who was guarded by Lang Wei in the middle.

"Let her go," Liu Ying's gaze fell on the red marks on her cheeks, and she suddenly sank, barely suppressing her anger, and said angrily, "I can spare your life." ”

When no one was paying attention, Zhao Qin and Liu Ying met their eyes, nodded, and quietly disappeared behind the crowd.

"Hahaha-" Min Ruo looked up to the sky and smiled, "There is nothing left." It's a big Min family, that's it...... None of them are gone. Now that the Min family is gone. His eyes were full of fierceness, and he pulled Zhang Yan over, and pressed the dagger across her neck even more, "What are you doing alive?" ”

"Stop." Liu Ying roared.

Min Ruo didn't seem to hear his words, perhaps, he had gone crazy. Crazy, he didn't have to bear the guilt of being a sinner in his family.

Zhang Yan was tightly clasped by Min Ruo's hand, and the skin on her neck could still feel the cold edge of the dagger, and for the first time she experienced the fear that life might disappear in the next moment. Turning his head slightly, he looked for Liu Ying's figure in the crowd. collided with his gaze. The anxiety, worry, and comfort in her eyes bumped into her in an instant, and the tip of her nose was sore, and she almost burst into tears.

"The surname is Lu," Min Ruo's emotions gradually became excited, "I underestimated you." But what if you have the ability? The person you want is in my hands. ”

Liu Ying's hands clenched tightly, burst out of green tendons, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?" ”

"Hahaha-" Min Ruo laughed, suddenly stopped, and said resentfully, "I want you-"

His words stopped abruptly, and he slowly lowered his head, seeing the shiny tip of the sword shining through his chest.

His throat gurgled and fell down with a thud, revealing Zhao Qin's delicate and depressed face.

Zhang Yan was stunned, and came back to her senses in a daze, she had been pulled by Liu Ying to her side, and carefully checked whether there were any injuries on her body with anxious eyes. She didn't notice it, she just lowered her head and stared at the dark red blood stain on the hem of her clothes. Just now, a small half of the blood splattered from Min Ruo's heart was splashed on the placket of his clothes. She could still feel the warmth of the blood, and there was a strange smell of blood, just like the unique breath of life when people were still alive. I felt exhausted for a moment and collapsed.
