The courtyard moss is covered with stone steps, the verdant and verdant hugging branches are luxuriant, and the branches and leaves are scattered like umbrellas, and the cloud court looks at the petals flying down above a long stone bench under the huge tree, and the two twist braids with black oil hang down on the chest, and a Buddha blue flag dress is covered on the delicate body, and the beautiful and attractive atmosphere is coming.

She raised her hand and touched the ends of her hair habitually, and when she stood up, the porcelain girl's figure looked healthy and youthful, and she hesitated a little as if she had made up her mind, and ran in the direction of the verandah, her steps were brisk and pleasant, and after a while she turned and entered the moon gate.

The Fang family is ready to hold a happy event, and the marriage of the eldest daughter Fang Yunting has already set a date for marriage.

That night, under the cover of her sister Fang Yunpei, Fang Yunting met her fiancé Li Zhaohai, who she hadn't seen for half a year. This young man was tall, with a pair of very clear eyes on his thin face, a long robe, gentle and elegant, and a strong bookish atmosphere. The two of them haven't seen each other for a long time, even though they have thousands of words to tell in their hearts, who knows that they have met, but they have talked to each other in their throats, and they can't open their mouths anyway, and the night silently casts a soft moonlight on the heads of the two.

Li Zhaohai's face turned red, and he looked at Fang Yunting opposite from time to time, she was more beautiful than before by the moonlight. Now he was even more nervous, and Fang Yunting's palms were all sweaty, "I... I ......" Li Zhaohai finally opened his mouth first:

"I've got everything ready at home, I'm just waiting for you......."

Listening to Li Zhaohai's endless words, Fang Yunpei laughed out loud first, and said with a turn of his eyes: "Sister, brother-in-law, why don't you two also learn the free love that is fashionable now, go out to play, and cultivate love." ”

Li Zhaohai blushed and smiled: "It's all up to Yunting." ”

Although Fang Yunting has been educated in the foreign academy since she was a child, the deep-rooted shame of etiquette and honesty still emerges from time to time, and she always can't be as free and easy as her sister. In front of her, the Zhaohai brother who has been guarding her since she was a child, will soon become her husband, she is very happy, but she still accepts the feeling that the two of them like it silently and stay together quietly, and she understands that Li Zhaohai also thinks so.

"Yun Pei, don't worry about it, Zhaohai and I have our own plans."

The night was getting darker, Li Zhaohai gently held Fang Yunting's arm, and the two walked into the Cold Moon Pavilion, Fang Yunpei pursed his lips when he saw this, turned around and left.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the branches and leaves into the dark and soft inner room, Fang Yunting sits in front of the dresser, looking at herself in the mirror, the dim bronze mirror reflects the distorted appearance of the originally beautiful face, and her eyebrows fell from between her eyebrows and fell to the ground and broke into two.

There are several luxuriant kapok trees growing outside this room, and the overwhelming kapok hovers in the courtyard in summer, falling in the corner of the window lattice, and Fang Yunting often likes to sit under the blue window and read a book.

Today she opened the window and found herself drowsy in the summer breeze, and the white shadows of the distant sun shook her eyes as if she had cried. This is two days before he and Zhaohai get married, why do you have a feeling of indescribable loss after these days of happiness.

Do you regret getting married? No, marrying Zhaohai is the expectation of my girlish feelings for more than ten years! What's more, such a chic and handsome, gentle and considerate childhood friend, who knows the bottom and knows his heart, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

The day came as scheduled, and the handsome Li Zhaohai in the noisy wedding procession wore a jubilant groom suit, he rode a high-headed horse, and he looked even more extraordinary, and the wedding team marched to Fang Junxian's mansion in a heroic manner.

Fang Yunting, under the phoenix crown, nervously held the wedding yarn in her hand, listening to the noisy voices around her and the sound of hurried footsteps, her whole mind was dizzy, as if floating in the clouds and fog was not real. The day finally came, and she finally walked out of the house to another brand new family.

I heard one person shouting loudly: "The bridegroom's welcoming party has come to the gate of the house, everyone go and see!" The crowd rushed out in a hurry.

The voice in the room was really calmer, and the personal maid Yutong held a tea cup with a straw and instructed: "Miss, drink jasmine slices to moisten your mouth." ”

Fang Yunting breathed a sigh of relief, her nervous mood eased a lot, she had just taken the teacup, and the hidden door was knocked open from the outside, startling the people in the house.

Before anyone could complain, I only heard Ah Sheng, who was in the nursing home, urgently calling: "Something happened!" A lot of officials from the patrol room came outside and arrested the new aunt! ”

"What!" When Fang Yunting heard this, he ripped off Xipa and said anxiously: "Why? How did you come to patrol the house? Where's Daddy? ”

"It's said that it's smuggling contraband, and the lord is negotiating with those messengers, and they are about to take my uncle away when they see it!" Ah Sheng said.

Fang Yunting didn't care about the etiquette, took off the phoenix crown, and rushed out of the door in his wedding clothes, and the people in the house immediately followed.

The people in the hall were chaotic, and Fang Yunting saw at a glance that Zhao Hai was bound by the officials who patrolled the room and wanted to take him away from the scene. She immediately panicked, and seeing that her father was also being pulled in, Fang Yunting rushed forward and fell into the crowd. Li Zhaohai, who was covered with sweat, saw that Fang Yunting had fallen in, and hurriedly pulled his arms and stepped forward to comfort him: "Yunting don't be afraid, this is a misunderstanding, I will first follow the chief to the patrol room to assist in the investigation, what I have not done will definitely return my innocence, you can rest assured." After saying that, Zhaohai was taken away by the official.

Fang Yunting hurriedly chased to the gate, Zhaohai was escorted in front of the official, and still turned back from time to time to persuade her to go back, until she cried and fell on the threshold of the red painted gate, and Zhaohai was also escorted into the police car.

Everyone helped Yun Ting back to the hall, and the old man Fang Junxian was busy stamping his feet and sighing, sighing at the domineering of the officials. Thinking about trying to rescue Zhaohai at this time, he ordered someone to hurry up the sedan chair, and he wanted to go to Loei to discuss with his in-laws, in his mind, he regarded Zhaohai's half son as his own son.

In Nansha Prison, Li Zhaohai was interrogated three times in one day, repeatedly tortured and interrogated on charges of smuggling contraband, and he never dreamed that the crime of smuggling would be placed on his head. The Li family has been exclusively supplying freight to the local wharf for three generations, and has always been honest and loyal as the purpose of doing business, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, several freight lines in the vicinity have been in contact with them all year round. And now the police department insists that Li Zhaohai smuggled the palace collections of the former dynasty and convicted him of the crime of smuggling contraband, which is a capital crime of killing the head.

After many tortures and interrogations, and a day without rice, Li Zhaohai had collapsed when he was taken back to the prison again. He was dizzy, his stomach ached badly, and he collapsed on the cold stone bed.

At this time, the second young master of the Li family, Zhao Nong, and the third young master, Zhao Shen, were gathering their clansmen to discuss the strategy of rescuing the eldest brother Zhao Hai. The Li family has a wide branch, but Zhaohai, Zhaonong, and Zhaoshen are due to the early death of their father, their mother is weak and sick, their two younger brothers are in school, and the family industry is all borne by the eldest brother Zhaohai. Their father was the eldest brother of the Li family, and Zhaohai was the eldest son, so as soon as they heard that Zhaohai had been arrested, they all came to discuss it in a hurry.

The old lady sitting on the Taishi's chair was sighing and complaining that Zhaohai had acted inappropriately, which caused such a catastrophe. The old lady is the patriarch of the Li family and the grandfather of Zhaohai and the three of them. Maybe the old man has high hopes for Zhaohai and wants to hone his talents, but he is always not satisfied with the affairs of their big house, and he always picks and chooses to find out a lot of trouble. Zhaohai is a very filial person and never dares to disobey his elders, so he has suffered the most and made the greatest sacrifices for the entire family.

In the Li Mansion, everyone gathered in the conference hall, and you talked about Zhaohai's arrest.

The third master scraped his scalp with a jade fan bone, discussed it with everyone seriously, and sighed helplessly from time to time. He turned his face to the fourth master, the fourth master stood up and wanted to leave, but was pulled by the third master's sleeve, and said: "Fourth brother, I just said that the current situation is not good, doing business is like acting on the tip of a knife, looking at making so much money, and if you don't lose money when you encounter something, thank God." ”

The fourth master rolled his eyes when he heard this, and pulled his sleeves out of the third master's hand, he looked down on the third master who didn't seek to be motivated, lived in a gangster, and was still red and white-toothed.

"Fourth, you know a lot of people, and you also give ideas." The third master knew that the fourth master looked down on him, so he blindly avoided the important and light, pretending to be crazy and stupid.

The fourth master nodded perfunctorily, then walked to the old lady's side, personally replaced his father's hookah with new red cigarettes, and respectfully waited for his father's hair.

Li Guangda's favorite thing is the little son in front of him, the fourth child is alert and flexible, and he is very good at behaving in front of him, so he still wants to hear the fourth child's opinion if there is anything.

The fourth master looked at his father's drooping eyelids and looked at him for half a minute, and under his father's majesty, he said his thoughts a little nervously: "Dad, what instructions do you always have, my son is waiting." ”

"Tell me what you think." Old Lady Li's red face did not move slightly.

Hearing his father ask him to express his thoughts was exactly what he wanted. The fourth master straightened his waist slightly and said, "The most important thing for us at the moment is to grasp the real intentions of the patrol room, where did they point out that Zhaohai smuggled the imperial court collections?" You can't make something out of nothing, even if it's a frame-up, then who is the biggest beneficiary of framing our Li family? After finding out these, we will also find a breakthrough in the whole incident, and then the truth will gradually become clear bit by bit. ”

Old Lady Li squinted her eyes and was silent for a moment, squirmed her lips, and then nodded in approval. Old lady Li sent a message to ask the fourth master to bring the money to the event, and the third lady heard that she was going to use the money in the public middle school, and just wanted to have a seizure, she saw the old lady's cold face in a blink of an eye, swallowed the words shengsheng, pouted and still said cool words: "If you want to say that Zhaohai is still the most favored, take the money from the public middle school to try for him, I don't know what year and month I will fill this shortfall." ”

Zhao Shen couldn't get angry, choked with her, and said: "My eldest brother gets up early and is busy from morning to night for this family, and he can't take care of his own affairs, and he relies on him to deal with all the major and minor affairs in the family, which doesn't bother him." You sit back and enjoy it, and now that the eldest brother has been framed and imprisoned, you want to be the shopkeeper, such a bully, I resolutely refuse to agree! Zhao Shen was red-faced and red-eared, and he fought with reason.

"Zhaoshen, what are you talking nonsense?" Old Lady Li stood up and said excitedly: "None of us care about him, don't we all think of a way together, if you mess around again, be careful that my family law serves you!" Zhaoshen still wanted to refute, but was pressed down by the second brother Zhaonong, he saw that the grandfather was really angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "Grandpa, don't be angry, your body is important, Zhaoshen is young and ignorant, I will make amends to you on his behalf." ”

In the end, it was decided that the fourth master would run the relationship first, which caused the third master's family to secretly complain that they didn't know how much money the fourth master had paid for this trip. No matter what, things were still pushed forward, and Zhaonong and Zhaoshen decided to go to the patrol house in the afternoon to visit the prison.

Zhao Hai was locked up in a cell of seven or eight people, all of whom were fierce people who robbed homes and houses, and those people looked at him as if they wanted to eat Zhao Hai. In the morning, Zhaohai was just beaten by that group of people, it was he who desperately protected the long shirt on his body, and he was not taken away by them, and his desperate strength really frightened that group of people, so that they did not dare to step forward.

At this time, the outer door of the cell was opened, and two officials came in, stopped in front of Zhaohai's cell and shouted: "Li Zhaohai, come out!" Someone wants to see you! ”

Zhao Hai got up from the ground, took handcuffs and shackles and followed the official out, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Fang Yunting with red and swollen eyes, and before Zhao Hai could come forward, she had already thrown herself into Zhao Hai's arms.
