"Ghost Face, it's so late, you won't be here to drink with me, right?" Su Ruhai put away Fang Cai's madness: "I'm sorry, Young Master Ben is not in the mood now." ”

"Ruhai, look at what you said. The ghost face came in a court guard suit, a scary mask covered his face tightly, and unceremoniously flicked his cloak and sat down opposite Su Ruhai: "Actually, I didn't come to look for you today." ”

"Then who are you looking for? It won't be the one who came to our family Rufeng, right?" Su Ruhai pointed to Gong Rufeng on the side.

"Shaodong Laxi, I'm here to ask your father Su Xing for questioning?" Ghost Face patted the table lightly: "It's a pity that I didn't find it, so I can only come to you." ”

"May I ask Lord Ghost, what do you want to ask when you come to find your father?" Gong Rufeng on the side saw that the two of them were pinched as soon as they met, and quickly took over the conversation.

"Today, Li Rat has already recruited, saying that he was instructed by Su Xing to assassinate Si Ruoshui, and to frame An Dafang. Ghost Face put the iron ruler on his waist on the table: "And the unknown silver of Li Rat was given by your father." ”

"He is talking nonsense. Su Ruhai was furious, and his emotions, which had already calmed down a little, were ignited by the words of the ghost face again.

"If you don't talk nonsense, it doesn't count, and what I say doesn't count. The ghost-faced voice also cooled down: "Please also ask the head of the Su family to go to the Tingwei Mansion to make it clear." ”

"Ruhai, calm down. Gong Rufeng is obviously much calmer than Su Ruhai: "Lord Ghost, this Li Rat said before that Chief Security instructed him to assassinate the master of the courtyard, and now he says that it is my father, how can he be convinced!"

"If only that were it. The ghost face stared at Su Ruhai coldly: "The household department came to report, Yun and Leng from the Providence Gambling House each deposited two thousand taels of silver to Sanshun Qianzhuang, Xiangyun and Miss Liu didn't go with you to verify the matter, why did you come back alone?"

"They're trapped in a back room in the gambling house. When Su Ruhai heard Tong Bo's name, he slapped his head: "Ghost face, if you hadn't come to interrupt, I would have asked Rufeng to arrange someone to save them." ”

"Ghost-faced, there's your flying pigeon handbook. Outside the door, I remembered the sound of the court guard's announcement.

Ghost Face walked out of the house, took the letter, read it for a while, and then walked into the house: "Save them, I'm afraid it's too late, the door of the secret room of the gambling arena has been sealed by Ling Zun." ”

"What?" Su Ruhai was shocked: "Rufeng, you let me out quickly, Dad does this, Xiangyun and they will definitely die, and this method of trying to cover up will only trap the Su family in injustice." ”

"Whoosh!" Just as the ghost-faced people spoke, several arrows burst into the dark night sky, blooming with a faint green light.

"Why are there arrows? I remember this is a signal for your court lieutenant to arrest the criminal?" Su Ruhai stared at the ghost face: "What do you want to do?"

"Lord Zhi has an order, if Su Xing does not go to the Tingwei Mansion for trial, the court guards at the outer gate will always be outside the mansion. Ghost Face picked up the iron ruler on the table and gently tapped it on his left palm: "Like the sea, official business is in the body, and there is no personal relationship to follow." ”

"But Dad hasn't returned yet, and we don't know where he is?" Gong Rufeng smiled and stiffened slightly: "Lord Ghost, can we send someone to look for him?"

"Yes, up to twelve hours. Ghost Face retracted the iron ruler from his waist, walked to the door of the room, and turned back again: "But Lord Zhi still has an order, if Su does not appear after the deadline, the Tingwei Mansion will send someone to seize the Su family's property together with the guards of the Jingwei Mansion." ”

"Ghost face! you!" Su Ruhai was so angry that he raised a cup and smashed it towards the ghost face at the door: "In vain, I have always regarded you as a brother, and in the end, I actually treated my Su family like this." ”

"As I said, I have never shown favoritism. Listening to the wind, the ghost face avoided the cup and walked out of the door, and said to the two court guards outside: "You two are guarding in this mansion, if one person goes out of the mansion, you are the only one who asks." ”

"Yes, my lord!" the two court guards replied in unison.

"Chancellor Liu Yuanzhi see Your Majesty. In Nanyuan's study, Liu Yuanzhi was so excited that he knelt in front of Xiao Shiyu's imperial case, with old tears on his face.

"Lord Zhongshu, please get up quickly. Xiao Shiyu also stood up from the front of the imperial case with an excited face, and personally stepped forward to help Liu Yuanzhi.

"The minister suffered this calamity, and I thought that I would never see Your Majesty again. Liu Yuanzhi, supported by Xiao Shiyu, stood up tremblingly: "This time I was able to return safely, thanks to the courtiers Ning Shi and the guards of the Jingwei Mansion. ”

"Ning Shi and Jingwei Mansion have merit, and I should be rewarded for my meritorious deeds. Xiao Shiyu waved his hand towards Gao Xian: "Don't give the Chinese book a seat yet." ”

"Father, we are safe, but Brother Xiangyun trapped in it in order to let us come out first. Liu Ningshi's eyes were filled with tears, and she wanted to control it but couldn't control it: "No, I want to go back and save him." ”

"Sister Ning Shi, calm down. Phantom Yu on the side grabbed the emotional Liu Ningshi: "Do you remember the last words of Escort Tong, everything must be based on the safety of Lord Zhongshu and the evidence in that box." ”

"Ning Shi rest assured, Dad will definitely spend a lot of money to find a capable person in the rivers and lakes who can break the formation and rescue Tong Guard!" Liu Yuanzhi stroked his beard and comforted Liu Ningshi.

"Even Brother Ren can't think of a way to break the formation, what else can be done!" Liu Ningshi couldn't control her emotions anymore, and ran out with her face hidden.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhongshu, Phantom Feather is going to chase her. Phantom Yu successively saluted Xiao Shiyu and Liu Yuanzhi, and chased them out.

"Please don't blame Your Majesty, Ning Shi's loss of friends is why she is so out of shape. Liu Yuanzhi said this, and his face was also sad.

"Poetry is affectionate and righteous, I have always known it. Xiao Shiyu also sat back on his dragon chair: "I heard that Lord Zhongshu has brought me some good news this time?"

"The minister first apologizes to His Majesty. Liu Yuanzhi got up from the chair again and knelt down: "The minister's father was lost for a while, and he did that kind of thing to frame his colleagues with the former Sinong Zhang Peizhi, and it was really light to only demote the minister to the third level, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him heavily." ”

"Zhongshu, please speak flat. Xiao Shiyu motioned to Gao Xian, and Gao Xian immediately stepped forward to sit Liu Yuanzhi on the chair: "Zhongshu is my right-hand man, and the day before yesterday, I lowered Zhongshu to the third level in order to calm the anger of the people, and I hope to understand my difficulties." ”

"The minister understands!" Liu Yuanzhi sat upright and said to Xiao Shiyu: "The minister has already heard what the little girl said, there are fake tax collectors pretending to be the court to cheat taxes, it is really bold; this time, 30 pieces of tax clothes, 30 fake tax cards, and 5,000 taels of broken silver were found in the stone room where the ministers were detained, and they have been handed over to the Tingwei Mansion for strict investigation. ”

"Well, Tingwei Mansion Zhishan came to report that Li Rat confessed that Su Xing, the head of the Su family, gave him a lot of silver to frame and assassinate Si Ruoshui and frame An Dafang, plus they innocently imprisoned important ministers of the imperial court, and also found some dirty silver in the secret room of their gambling house, it seems that these two cases are inseparable from them. Xiao Shiyu waved a book on a yellow silk silk.

"Knock—— knock! knock! knock! Ugly time four watches, the weather is cold. The streets of Fengyuan Lane have long been empty, only the bleak autumn wind blows the yellow leaves of the road in all directions, and a sedan chair wrapped in black cloth is carried by four sturdy men, running towards it in a hurry, and from time to time it makes a low moan of "hey, hey".

The person sitting in the sedan chair was Su Xing, his eyes were slightly closed, the thumbs of his left and right hands kept turning cross, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind.

In the dark night, a black shadow suddenly flashed from behind the sedan chair, flew and jumped on the top of the sedan chair, and with a slight force on both feet, the sedan chair that was originally as stable as Mount Tai fell to the ground with a "boom".

"Who are you?dare to stop the sedan chair of the head of the Su family?" The sedan chair man on the left side of the front row was trembling on his shoulders by the force of this step, and shouted angrily at the man in black.

The man in black didn't answer, but jumped off the sedan chair in just a breath, lit the four sedan chair drivers, and arched his hand towards the sedan door: "Please move the head of the Su family." ”

"Is this how Zunjia invites people? Is there a rudeness?" Su Xing in the sedan chair still closed his eyes and recuperated, but the thumb in his hand stopped turning, and his hands were placed in fists on his legs.

"It's a matter of urgency, if the head of the Su family returns to the mansion at this time, I'm afraid that he will have to go to the Tingwei Mansion as a guest?" Although the man in black was ridiculed, he still replied unhurriedly.

"How do you say this?" Su Xing heard the words of the man in black, and his face fluctuated slightly.

"Is the head of the Su family going to talk to him through the sedan chair? Isn't this the way of hospitality?" The man in black reasoned with Su Xing.

"Hmph! Your Excellency is such an interesting person. Su Xing lifted the sedan curtain, slowly stepped over the sedan rail, and stared straight at the man in black: "I don't know where Your Excellency wants to take Su?"

"The head of the Su family misunderstood. The man in black smiled: "As long as you don't go back to Su Mansion, and the place is secret and safe, how about where to go is decided by the Su family master?"

"Su has never met someone like Your Excellency. Su Xing pointed at the four palanquin men: "Your request Su has been answered, what should these four people do?"

"Their acupuncture points will automatically unravel in an hour. The man in black said solemnly: "It's a matter of confidentiality, only you know it." ”

At three o'clock the next day, the bald man on the first seat on the right side of the Su family's council hall and the man sniffing a snuffbox on the second seat on the right side waited here early, but the old man of the Su family and the head of the Su family, Su Xing, never appeared.

"Second brother, where did you say this big brother went? The Tingwei Mansion and the Household Department have already sent people to guard in front of my shops, which has seriously affected the business. "This man who sniffs a snuffbox is Su Zhu, the third elder of the Su family.

"The third brother, the second brother's shop is the same, don't complain, wait for the eldest brother and the old man to come and discuss countermeasures. "This black and white jade ball spinning in his hand is Su Wen, the second eldest of the Su family.

"Second uncle, third uncle, grandpa is unwell, so he won't participate. Gong Rufeng lifted the curtain, slowly walked into the meeting hall, and bowed to Su Wen and Su Zhu.

"What about the eldest brother? He won't come again, right?" Su Zhu is a straight man, and when he heard that the old man didn't come, he couldn't help but ask Su Xing.

"Dad hasn't returned since he went out last night, Rufeng has sent someone to look for it, if there is any news, you must inform the two uncles?" Gong Rufeng was also worried when he mentioned Su Xing.

"What's going on?" Su Zhu couldn't help but stand up from the Taishi's chair: "There is such a big incident in the Su family, the old man and the eldest brother are not here, what should we do?"

"Third child, don't get excited. If you want to compare Su Zhu, Su Wen's temperament is much deeper: "The so-called soldiers will block, water will cover the earth, father and eldest brother are not there, you and I will also resist this heavy burden." ”

What the second uncle said is extremely true, Rufeng will also do his best to help the Su family tide over the difficulties. Gong Rufeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and bowed to the two of them.
