On the gloomy passageway, outside the fence, the eldest brother in a dress was standing there, squinting at him.

Xu Erlang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood up from the straw mat, and the shackles made a "bang" sound as he walked.

"Why did you come in? Can Sun Shangshu let you in?" Xu Xinnian was both surprised and surprised.

Seeing this, Xu Qi'an retracted his gaze with peace of mind and exhaled: "It seems that it is just a skin injury." ”

Then, he glanced at the jailer and said coldly, "Stand down." ”

The jailer left with a sense of humor.

Xu Xinnian took a sip and said, "This group of dogs, the whip hurts." ”

Is Jiro complaining to me........ Xu Qi'an bowed: "Don't worry, the eldest brother will find a way to save you out." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xinnian waved his hand, interrupted him, and emphasized: "Big brother, you may not know very well that this matter itself is not a fraud in the imperial examination, but a conflict between Guozijian and Yunlu Academy. ”

No, I know that clearly........ Xu Qian said.

But Xu Erlang didn't give him a chance to speak, chattering endlessly, speaking with a full of anger, and indeed only suffered some skin injuries.

"Actually, I have a hunch for a long time, how can it be so simple and easy to use the students of Yunlu Academy to meet in high school? But I'm not afraid, if the academy wants to return to the court and expand its power, it needs someone to take the lead and someone to pave the way for those who come after. Xu Xinnian said in a deep voice:

"And I'm the one who gets through the road. ”

Erlang, people don't admire the first person to open up the Yongdao, what people really admire is the person who expands the Yongdao........ Xu Qi'an said "um":

You continue. ”

"Actually, I've already figured out a solution in prison, heh, after all, the intrigue in the court, my family is still the most proficient. ”

Xu Xinnian raised his chin proudly, and then said: "The great Confucian of the academy can't step into the court with a white-clothed body. But Wei Yuan can, you go and ask Wei Yuan, I don't ask him to help me get rid of my guilt immediately, it will be too difficult, it will definitely hurt my muscles and bones, because this is equivalent to starting a war with all the civil officials.

"My request is that the meritorious name be removed, but the power of the imperial examination should be retained. Or, after I am locked up in the temple examination, I will take the general examination again in three years.

"The civil officials from Guozijian are mainly aimed at suppressing Yunlu Academy, not me. ”

After speaking, seeing that the eldest brother was stunned, Xu Erlang sighed and said: "Yes, these are indeed a little difficult to understand for the eldest brother, you just need to do what I say."

"Even though I'm in prison, I can still strategize. ”

Erlang, you think you're on the eighteenth floor, but you're actually on the surface of the earth........ Xu Qi'an coughed and said, "Big brother has a different opinion here. ”

Xu Xinnian was stunned for a moment, and nodded "modestly": "You say." ”

At that moment, Xu Qi'an told Xu Erlang about the "one stone and three eagles" analyzed by Wei Yuan, and as a result, the cell fell into silence for a long time.

"I see, it turns out that there is such a complicated context behind this case, I, I'm finished?" Xu Erlang looked like he was shocked.

I don't know if it's because there's no hope of getting out, or because his analysis is too superficial, which doesn't match his self-considered king rank.

"Don't worry, big brother will try his best to save you. Xu Qi'an comforted like this.

This is the dungeon of the Criminal Department, so it's not appropriate to say too much.

Xu Xinnian laughed miserably.

..............

Bidding farewell to Xu New Year, Xu Qi'an left the yamen of the Criminal Department, planning to go home to comfort his sister and aunt.

From afar, I heard my aunt's cry in the hall: "Why hasn't Da Lang come back yet, Erlang has been imprisoned in the Criminal Department, I don't know how much I have to suffer, so I can give a quasi-letter.........

Xu Lingyue comforted: "Mother, the eldest brother must be running to dredge up the relationship, don't worry, when the dusk is over, the eldest brother will tell you when he comes back." ”

"How long will I have to wait, my mother is tormenting every quarter of an hour now. The aunt began to cry:

"Didn't you listen to what your father said, Da Lang went to the Criminal Department to beg for help, not only did he not see Erlang, but he was also humiliated. ”

Then, Xu Pingzhi's sigh.

Although the aunt is cautious and thinks she is cute at a young age, she did not insult the second uncle for being incompetent and unable to save her son at this time, which is probably the reason why the second uncle spoils the aunt so much.......... Xu Qi'an suddenly discovered this detail that he hadn't noticed before.

"Ahem!"

Xu Qi'an coughed as he entered the inner court, attracting the attention of his family.

Xu Lingyue, who was obviously very calm just now, instantly filled her eyes with tears, looked at Xu Qi'an, and choked speechlessly.

Seeing this, Xu Qi'an had no choice but to comfort her first and pat her on the shoulder: "Don't worry." ”

Xu Lingyue shouted softly: "Big brother........"

Then she was covered by her aunt's high-decibel voice, her eyes lit up, she grabbed Xu Qi'an's sleeve, and looked at him expectantly and nervously. Crying:

"Ning Yan, Erlang him, how is he? You quickly find a way to save him, you are the only one in the family who can save him. ”

Xu Pingzhi sighed.

"I saw Jiro, he was fine, he didn't get hurt. Xu Qi'an patted his aunt's little hand, and then patted his sister's little hand, and comforted.

The aunt didn't believe it, stared at her nephew with bright eyes, and snorted: "Da Lang, don't lie to me." ”

Xu Qi'an ignored his aunt, looked at his second uncle, and said in a low voice: "I used some unconventional means to kidnap Sun Shangshu's sister-in-law. ”

Xu Pingzhi's face changed greatly: "Ning Yan, you have broken the rules." ”

"Don't worry, he has no proof. Moreover, I didn't ask him to help Jiro get away with the crime, it would be too difficult, but it would be easy to get things out of control. I just kept him from moving. For Sun Shangshu, this is a small thing that can be done. And compared to the fish dying and the net being broken, he cares more about the life of his sister-in-law. ”

Although it is a broken rule, if the scale is well grasped, the impact of things can be minimized.

Besides, Sun Shangshu really has no evidence, and the person was not arrested by him Xu Qi'an. Si Tianjian's Qi Hope Technique is even more fearless.

In the Pingyang County Lord's case, King Yu just has no evidence, his daughter disappeared for no reason, and he doesn't even know who the enemy is.

Of course, after the incident, the price paid by the Liang Party was to be beheaded all over the house.

As long as the effect is good, even if it is written in the rules of the Great Bong's law, there are people who take risks, not to mention the unspoken rules!

At this point, Xu Qi'an looked at Lina and Xu Lingyin, who were sitting on the side eating pastries, and said, "Don't go out today, Lina, during the day, the safety of the ladies in the house depends on you." ”

"Okay!" said Lina.

Although this little black skin is not very smart, she can fight......... Xu Qi'an was quite relieved of her.

As for being isolated by officialdom, not to mention whether Sun Shangshu will spread this matter, even if it does, he is not afraid, as Wei Yuan's henchman, he has too many enemies.

Still afraid of being isolated?

Xu Qi'an is not a scholar who wants to take a career in office, he is a watchman, and the nature of the two is different. The former needs fame and officialdom recognition.

And the beating of the guard, there is no need.

Wei Yuan is here, he is there, Wei Yuan is down, he is down.

Xu Pingzhi opened his mouth and didn't express his opinion, he was stunned and relieved in his heart, and he was relieved that his nephew had grown up, and he was no longer the kid who let him pat the back of his head before.

Suddenly, he couldn't shoot the back of this kid's head again.

The aunt cried with joy, and held Xu Qi'an's hand and didn't let go: "Da Lang, you are still the most promising in the family, and it is not in vain that Aunt Auntie has worked hard to train you to grow up." ”

No, auntie, if you say this, your conscience really won't hurt?" Xu Qi'an wondered.

Xu Lingyue whispered: "Then, what about the follow-up?"

Auntie's joy suddenly froze on her face, and she suddenly remembered, yes, there is a follow-up.

"I'll figure it out. Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.

The second step that Wei Yuan taught him, he hadn't thought about it for the time being, but he had a vague idea in his heart.

The aunt, who was in a depressed mood all of a sudden, took Xu Lingyin out, poked her head hard with her green and jade fingers, and said angrily: "I know what is the use of eating and eating, what is the use of giving birth to you, it is better to give birth to a mouse." ”

"Mother, I'm hungry. Xu Lingyin looked up and said aggrievedly.

"When has your stomach been full?" Auntie hated that iron could not become steel: "Your own brother is in great trouble, and you are still eating here." Something without a heart or lungs. ”

Xu Lingyin glanced at Xu Qi'an: "The cauldron is not good, my mother just doesn't want to give me food, and then hides it and eats it by myself." ”

Auntie's body shook angrily.

Xu Qi'an, Xu Lingyue and Xu Pingzhi were a little embarrassed.

Lina poked her companion's waist and whispered, "You still have an older brother." ”

Xu Lingyin thought about it and found that she did have an older brother, so she immediately cried "whoops", and the pastries in her mouth fell down.

She picked up the pastries that had fallen on her clothes and legs and stuffed them back into her mouth, crying: "Is the second brother also dead, I don't want the second brother to die, ....... it"

At this time, the porter Lao Zhang came in and said, "There is a girl outside who said she wants to see Miss Lingyue." ”

The family immediately looked at Xu Lingyue.

The latter frowned slightly, "Which girl, what are you looking for me?"

The porter shook his head.

"Please let her in. Xu Lingyue said.

Oh, the porter Lao Zhang led a pretty girl in a pink skirt in, she combed her maid's hair in a bun, but the fabric of the clothes she wore was better than that of an ordinary rich lady.

"Is that you?" Xu Lingyue recognized her and looked stunned.

"The maid's name is Lan'er, Miss wants to visit Miss Lingyue today, I wonder if Miss Lingyue has free today?"

"This is Wang Shoufu's daughter, the maid next to Miss Wang Simu. Xu Lingyue explained.

She believes that with the wisdom of her eldest brother, she will be able to hear the sound outside the strings.

Wang Zhenwen's daughter's maid? She sent someone to the mansion to do something and sneer? Because of Erlang's influence, Xu Qi'an also felt that Wang Simu was gloating and fell into the well.

Suddenly a little annoyed.

A mere woman is so arrogant......... I can resolutely implement the idea of equality between men and women in the new era of human beings, tearing green tea will not be soft......... Xu Qi'an snorted coldly.

"If I have something today, I will visit me another day. Xu Lingyue said lightly, her eyes sharp: "Please go back and tell Sister Wang, I like her very much, and I will definitely communicate with her at that time." ”

But in the next moment, the sharpness in his eyes converged, and he turned into a weak and weak sister again, and said with tears: "Big brother, if you still have something to do, go and get busy first, and the second brother's affairs will be entrusted to you." ”

Xu Qi'an was about to nod, when he heard Miss Lan'er show a nervous look and asked, "What's wrong with Xu Huiyuan?"

The brother and sister ignored her, and with a cold face, the aunt suddenly spoke:

"Your young lady is Wang Shoufu's daughter? That's really good, my Erlang doesn't know which dog thief slandered him for cheating in the imperial examination, and he was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department.

"Girl, can you beg your young lady for me to help Erlang. ”

Xu Qi'an and Xu Lingyue looked at their aunt with stiff faces.

Does this mother (aunt) really have no brains at all?

You can't throw yourself in front of the enemy if you are sick and rush to the doctor, and you don't think you're dying fast enough, so you have to let someone else make up for it?

Xu Qi'an's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Miss Lan'er, don't send it." ”

Miss Lan'er was full of doubts and said goodbye anxiously.

............

Wang Simu sat in the soft collapse of the spacious carriage, sometimes lifting the curtain of the car window to look outside, and sometimes paying attention to the teapot at the bottom of the orange charcoal fire.

It fully reflects Miss Wang's inner anxiety.

More than half an hour has passed, and Lan'er's dead girl has not come back, and the person waiting for her is the most uncomfortable.

If Miss Xu refuses her visit, it probably represents the meaning of the Xu family and the meaning of the New Year.

Do I have to go back to the door?

The latter made her less reconciled, and the former's words ........ After all, she is a woman who has not been out of the cabinet, the first daughter, how can she have face and reputation, she is embarrassed to continue to come to the door.

In the flickering of her thoughts, she lifted the curtain and looked at it, and was pleasantly surprised to find Lan'er's carriage.

The carriage slowly stopped, and the maid Lan'er jumped out of the car flexibly, trotted over, climbed into the tall carriage, and pushed the door in.

"Dead girl, what time did you come back so late?" said the distraught Wang Simuqian angrily.

She took a deep breath and asked, "What did Miss Xu say?"

Lan'er shook her head.

Wang Simu's face suddenly fell, and the light in his eyes instantly dimmed.

At this time, she saw Lan'er swallow her saliva, gasped, and said, "Miss, the big thing is not good, Xu Huiyuan was arrested by the Criminal Department for fraud in the imperial examination." ”

"What?"

Wang Simu, who heard the news, had mixed feelings in his heart, and the first thing that came to him was astonishment and worry, worried about the future and safety of Xu New Year.

Then there was a hint of joy.

It turned out that he had never made an appointment, not because he had no intention of me, but because he was arrested by the Criminal Department and could not get out.

I blamed him.

At that moment, Lan'er relayed what Xu Mansion had seen and heard to Miss Wang, including Xu Qi'an's cold attitude and Xu Lingyue's alienated posture.

Sun Shangshu of the Criminal Department and my father are in the same party, and they think that my father is behind the scenes? If it is really my father who secretly promotes it, then am I not ........ Wang Simu felt bitter in his heart.

Lan'er said angrily: "Hmph, the attitude is so bad, and I want you to save Xu Huiyuan, the Xu family is really shameless." ”

Wang Simu frowned, "Speak well." After a pause, her face was serious, and she said, "Is it Xu Qi'an's request?"

No, I have only met Xu Huiyuan once, and I just spoke a few words. That Xu Qi'an is a smart person, how can he let me, the daughter of Wang Shoufu, help?

He can't know my mind, not even my father.

The intelligent Miss Wang immediately took the lead.

Lan'er shook her head: "It was the head of the Xu family who said it, and it was the quite beautiful woman we saw that day." ”

The request of the Xu family's housewife.........

Wang Simu's face became serious again, and he actively used his brain, groaning, and analyzing........

She is Xu Huiyuan's mother, when she encounters this kind of thing, she must have a very bad impression of me and the Wang family, so why do you ask me for help?

Being able to teach a scheming daughter, a nephew with unparalleled spirit, and a talented son is by no means an ordinary woman.

I have to think about it, think about it, and not be careless..........

"Lan'er, that mistress, yes, did she scold me, or my father, what is her attitude?" asked Wang Simu.

She has the best attitude in the whole family, and when she asks, she is very sincere. Lan'er said.

This........ Wang Simu's eyes widened suddenly, and he had a corresponding guess in his heart.

It was the first time I invited Xu Huiyuan to participate in the Wenhui in the name of my father, which was no problem in itself, but I invited Xu Huiyuan to visit the lake in a very short time......... A careless man may not think too much about such a thing as swimming in the lake, but as a woman, and a wise woman, she can't be unaware of it.

Even if you don't know what I want, you can guess somewhat......... So, this is a temptation and an opportunity?

Her attitude towards me was not disgusted, and she was not hostile or disgusted because I was the daughter of the Wang family.

By making this request, I was hinting at it.

Sure enough, this Xu housewife is a person of great wisdom......... She was the only one in the family who saw through my mind......... Wang Simu clenched his fists, and his delicate body trembled a little.

At the same time, there is also the excitement of meeting opponents.

"Lan'er, go to the imperial city, I want to go to the yamen to find my father. Wang Simu said word by word.
