Mao Ru took a deep breath and replied with a little solemnity: "Actually...... I don't want to lie to you anymore. Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, looking at Taihao's eyes a little more complicated, "You tell me one thing first, was my grandfather killed by you, was he imprisoned by you?" ”

Taihao's eyes stiffened slightly, and then he smiled bitterly: "It turns out that you already knew that your grandfather was imprisoned, it seems that you are really a fine work sent by Yao Fuji, you tell me how Yao Fuji provoked it?" ”

Mao Ru said with a solemn expression: "I am not Xiao Fuji's fine work, I was forced by Yao Fuji, my brother Wancai is still in his hands, for the safety of my brother's life, I can only do as he says......" She paused, looked at Tai Hao, and asked sincerely: "You are now my Langjun, can you tell me the truth, is my grandpa imprisoned by you?" ”

Taihao was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Mao Ru, I can assure you that I didn't harm your grandfather, he was imprisoned because he killed the people in the city, if you want to blame it, you can only blame the 'four little ghosts', because the 'four little ghosts' caught your two brothers and sisters to threaten your grandfather, and your grandfather violated the law of the country for your safety." He looked at Mao Ru's eyes with a determined expression, "In fact, before I left Fengling City, I went to see your grandfather, and your grandfather asked me to rescue you from the hands of the 'four little ghosts', and I also promised him." Therefore, it was the 'Four Little Ghosts' who caused your grandfather to be imprisoned, and I don't know who the 'Four Little Ghosts' were instructed by. ”

Mao Ru was silent for a while, the expression on her face changing. Finally, she let out a long breath and said, "I see. Speaking of this, her eyes were a little gloomy, "I thought my grandfather was innocent, but ......" She didn't speak again, just lowered her head and thought quietly.

Taihao looked at Mao Ru, his heart full of complicated emotions. He was sympathetic to Mao Ru's situation, and he was relieved that she was able to be honest with her. He knew that although they were under duress to marry in the church, since it had become a fact, they could not take the matter of marriage as child's play, and if they were to spend the rest of their lives together, it must be based on trust and truth.

Mao Ru raised her head and stared at Taihao: "I want to rescue my brother, and I also want to rescue my grandfather." Can you help me? Her voice was a little hurried and nervous, as if she was testing whether Tai Hao could really believe it.

"Of course, I'll do my best." Taihao replied solemnly.

Mao Ru sat on the edge of the bed and said slowly: "I'll tell you everything I know, when my brother and I were caught here by the 'Four Little Ghosts', we were locked up in the backyard of a pharmacy in Heishi Lane, Pinghe City, where it was extremely eerie and terrifying......"

Tai Hao asked, "Where is Black Market Alley?" ”

Mao Ru said: "Black Market Alley is a dark alley located in the corner of Pinghe City, where all kinds of people can be seen, from dealers to gamblers, thieves to assassins, which is different from other places in Pinghe City, where it is impossible to distinguish day and night, no matter what time it is, the streets are covered in darkness, and only the occasional street lamp illuminates a small area. ”

Tai Hao asked with a puzzled expression: "I didn't expect that there is such a place in Pinghe City, what is the matter with the pharmacy you just mentioned?" ”

Mao Ru replied with a solemn expression: "That pharmacy is where Tu Poison Mo lives, and Tu Poison Mo is actually Yao Fuji's younger brother. The 'Four Little Devils' arrested me and my brother and took him elsewhere, and I later learned that it was Yao Fuji who ordered my brother to be taken away. The 'Four Little Ghosts' dedicated me to Yao Fuji......" Speaking of this, Mao Ru couldn't help but shed tears, and her voice trembled slightly, "Later, Yao Fuji took me out and said that he would send me to a deputy general sent by the imperial court to guard the city, and let me monitor every move of the deputy general's mansion. I was powerless to resist, only to obey. ”

When Tai Hao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, he didn't expect Yao Fuji to be so despicable. Tai Hao asked Mao Ru, "Can you tell me now how Senior Brother Dumb Shan was put in prison?" ”

Mao Ru's voice became a little trembling, and she said lightly: "Big Brother Dumb is very kind-hearted, I didn't want to hurt him, a few days ago, Yao Fuji sent his men to find me and said that I should find a way to take you to the black market alley." If you don't want to come out, just find a retinue of the deputy general's mansion and martial arts to bring you over. If they don't, they'll kill my brother...... There is no way, I can only say that I miss my grandfather and aunt, and I want to go back to Fengling City to see ......"

Tai Hao suddenly realized: "No wonder that day, you said that you wanted me to accompany you back to Fengling City, but I refused because I was busy with government affairs, so I let Senior Brother Dumb Shan accompany you." What's next? ”

Mao Ru continued: "Next, I followed Yao Fuji's instructions and took Big Brother Dumb Shan to Black Market Alley, and in that pharmacy, when Big Brother Dumb Shan was defenseless, Tu Poison Mo knocked Big Brother Dumb Shan unconscious with one palm. ”

When Taihao heard this, his heart was both angry and sad. Mao Ru continued: "After that, Yao Fuji came to the pharmacy and took the dumb brother away, and I heard him say that he was going to arrest all the martial arts entourage of the deputy general's mansion one by one, I don't know what he meant by this. ”

Taihao clenched his fists, and he calmly thought about how to deal with Yu Fuji's conspiracy. Mao Ru saw that Taihao's expression became solemn, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry for the dumb brother, I'm sorry for you, I'm already your lady, I told you everything, and I can only rely on you in the future." ”

Taihao turned his head and looked at Mao Ru, although he was angry at her behavior in his heart, but at the same time, he could understand that she was helpless. He took a deep breath, then turned and walked over to his desk, beginning to think about his next steps.

Mao Ru quietly observed Taihao's back, pondered for a moment, and said to him: "It's getting late, won't Lang Jun go to bed to rest?" ”

Taihao really didn't want to believe that he was married and had a family, in his heart, Nian Yu was a smart girl in Bingxue, but Mao Ru was more gentle and charming, he knew that Mao Ru was also forced to marry him. But the reality is so ruthless, and his attitude towards Mao Ru is about to change.

He turned around, smiled and said to Mao Ru, "Okay, let's go rest together." He walked over to Maoru, put his arm around her shoulders, and walked to the bed together. Before that, Taihao had always had doubts and doubts about Mao Ru, but when he looked down at her, all he saw was a lost and bitter girl. All this deeply touched the softness of his heart.

Taihao gently took Mao Ru's hand, he looked at her palm and frowned slightly. He whispered to her, "Don't be sad, we'll all overcome it together." Now, first try to maintain your mental state, after rescuing Senior Brother Dumb Shan and Brother Gu Sheng, and dealing with everything here, we can go back to Fengling City to rescue your grandpa, he was used by the 'Four Little Ghosts' and will not be sentenced to death. ”

Mao Ru heard Taihao's warm comfort, smiled and nodded, feeling the comfort of her soul. She knew that Taihao was sincere to her, and she had to do everything for him.

Early the next morning, as soon as Tai Hao got up and walked out of the room, Onishi came to him, and Onishi asked Tai Hao, "Twelve, are you okay?" ”

Taihao responded: "I'm fine, I'm about to look for you, you go to the prison now, go to the warden Lan Kai." Just say I'll let you go to him, and tell him about the dumb brother who was also put on 'death row'. ”

When Daxi heard Taihao's words, he hurriedly said, "I was about to tell you about being in the prison, do you know who I met in the prison?" ”

When Taihao heard him say this, he asked curiously, "Who did you meet?" Didn't you meet the dumb brother? ”

Onishi said: "In addition to the dumb brother, I also met the ...... who had been to Shizhu City with a kitchen knife"

"Xuanliu?" Taihao preemptively said the name.

Onishi nodded and said: "It's Xuanliu, he is really a charlatan, but he has been in prison for a long time now." ”

When Taihao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart: "For what crime was he imprisoned?" ”

Onishi sighed: "He is guilty of theft and fraud. ”

Tai Hao said: "I guess he is also charged with this crime, he must still be cheating and cheating everywhere, but his brother Xuanwu once saved my life, and I also promised to help him find Xuanliu, you bring some silver taels, go and touch Lord Lan Kai to see if you can release him." ”

Onishi said: "Okay, but I have one more thing. ”

Taihao asked, "What else is going on?" ”

Onishi said: "When I was in prison, there was an old monk in the cell next door, when the dumb brother was unconscious in the prison, he lost luck for the dumb brother, and the dumb brother woke up, can you rescue him together?" ”

Tai Hao said: "Since we saved the life of Senior Brother Dumb, let's try our best to save him." ”

Subsequently, Onishi left in a hurry.

At this moment, Nian Yu walked out of his room, and when he saw Tai Hao, his face was solemn. Tai Hao shouted, "Senior sister, are you up?" ”

Nian Yu didn't answer his words, pretended not to see him, and walked over with his head down. Tai Hao stepped forward and grabbed her arm and said, "Senior sister, are you angry?" You know I was forced. ”

"Oh." Nian Yu said softly: "I'm not angry, and besides, don't call your junior sister and junior sister, I'll warn you one last time, I'm your senior sister!" ”

Nian Yu had a dissatisfied look on her face, and when Tai Hao saw her appearance, she began to regret her actions a little. He let go of Nian Yu's arm and looked at her with a serious gaze, "I'm sorry, senior sister, I know what I did wrong......"

Nian Yu didn't agree immediately, she paused, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. Eventually, she nodded her head and accepted Taihao's apology. said in a low voice: "Then are you really married, or are you trying to deal with the fake marriage of Xiao Fuji?" ”

Before Taihao could answer, Mao Ru walked out of the room and said slowly, "Lang Jun, why did you get up so early." As he spoke, he grabbed Taihao's hand and continued: "Sister Nianyu is also here, where are you going to go so early?" ”

Tai Hao smiled slightly, withdrew his hand, and said, "We just discussed, I heard that there is a temple fair in the city these days, and my senior sister and I plan to go shopping and buy some New Year's goods." ”

Nian Yu answered softly and didn't say anything more. Mao Ru smiled at Tai Hao and said, "Okay, that's why you go to the temple fair with our sisters today." Taihao coughed a little embarrassed, but Mao Ru had already grabbed his arm and called "Lang Jun" one by one. Nian Yu looked at the intimacy between the two of them as if no one was around, and couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart. She knew she should bless them, but there was always something unspeakable at work in her heart.

At this time, Shaoling walked over. Nian Yu hurriedly shouted: "Shaoling, come with us to the temple fair, buy some New Year's goods and come back." ”

Shao Ling hurriedly agreed: "Okay, I was just about to congratulate Lord Taihao and Miss Maoru on tying the knot." ”

The smile on Taihao's face gradually disappeared, and he nodded and did not speak.

The reason why Taihao wanted to go to the temple fair was to prepare for the election of the general of the city on the first day of the first lunar month, and he wanted to contact those people to understand the needs and opinions of the people, so as to win the support of more people. But now the relationship between him and Nian Yu has become a little delicate, which makes him can't help but fall into thinking. Shaoling's blessing also made him a little unable to deal with it.

He was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
