"Knock-knock-" Just as Hao Huai's long sword was about to be cut off, there was a knock on the door with two long and one short.

As soon as he heard the rhythm of knocking on the door, Hao Huai knew that it was Gou An who came. He threw down his sword, opened the door, and Gou An walked in panting, threw the sack on his shoulder to the ground, and said, "I'm tired."

"Hmm, hmm. "Someone in the sack made a sound.

Hao Huai was a little displeased, pointed to the sack and asked, "What is this?"

Gou An stretched out his hand to untie the bag, Shen Lingshan looked at it and exclaimed: "Big brother, why can't you ......?"

Gou An said to Hao Huai proudly: "My lord, this kid didn't know how to find out that I had caught someone surnamed Yang, and ran to my house to ask for someone, but this kid's martial arts are really common, and he was arrested without thirty moves." My lord, this kid is the same as this surnamed Yang, and his moves are also 'like a knife but not a knife, like a sword but not a sword'. ”

"Oh, that's kind of interesting. Gou An casually sent people to his home, Hao Huai was originally a little unhappy, and when he heard that Chen Wenqi's moves were also "like a knife but not a knife, like a sword but not a sword", he immediately became interested, raised his chin, and motioned Gou An to take off the rags in Chen Wenqi's mouth.

Chen Wenqi was almost about to vomit when he was stuffed with rags, and as soon as the rags left his mouth, he didn't care about spitting out the residual smell in his mouth, and hurriedly asked Shen Lingshan: "Brother Xian, are you okay?"

"Big brother, I'm fine, how are you?" Shen Lingshan said hurriedly.

Chen Wenqi smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother Xian, I'm fine." He turned to Hao Huai and said, "Zunjia must be the master here, I'm afraid it's not a way to treat guests in a sack and throw them on the ground, right?"

Hao Huai smiled even more and said, "Well, it doesn't seem to be 'a little interesting', but very interesting." After speaking, he cast an inquiring glance at Gou An.

Gou An attached himself to Hao Huai's ear and said in a low voice: "His subordinates ordered a few big holes for him, but he couldn't move." ”

"Huh? hahaha. Hao Huai laughed out loud without hesitation, and then waved his hand to Gou An: "What are you doing in a daze?

Seeing Chen Wenqi sit down stiffly, Hao Huai mocked: "Your kid has become a prisoner of the stairs, and you are still forced to calm down, is there still something to rely on?"

"What are you kidding? If this son has anything to rely on, he is still willing to stay in this dirty and smelly sack?" Chen Wenqi said with a glare, but his words were clearly a little discouraged.

Hao Huai walked behind Chen Wenqi with his hand, leaned close to his ear and joked: "In that case, you kid are not afraid that I will kill you, and you dare to ask me to treat you as a guest?"

Chen Wenqi tilted his head to avoid the smell of Hao Huai's mouth, and asked lightly, "Why did you want to kill me?

"No grudge. ”

"Have you had a grudge lately?"

"No complaints. ”

"Have I ever met with the driver?"

"Haven't seen it before. ”

"Since you have no grudges, no grudges, and you have never met, why did you kill me?"

"Because you shouldn't have this kind of martial arts that is like a knife but not a sword, like a sword but not a sword. ”

When Chen Wenqi and Gou An were fighting, he now learned and sold a few moves that Shen Lingshan used the night before, and he never thought that at this time it would become a "reason" for others to kill him.

"Oh, I see, 'Puff is not guilty, but he is guilty,' huh. ”

"So to speak. ”

"If you have to kill someone who has this kind of 'sword but not sword, sword but not sword' martial arts, this son has nothing to say, but please let this Yang Gongzi go. Chen Wenqi said helplessly.

"Why?" said Gou An, sneering.

"I taught him those tricks. He saw that this move was very strange, and he was very curious, so he insisted on learning it, so I casually pointed out two moves. So he is innocent. ”

"Whether he is innocent or guilty, since he has this kind of kung fu, whether he lets it go or not, it doesn't matter if you say it. Hao Huaiqiang said.

Chen Wenqi smiled "sneering" and asked, "Is it up to you to decide?"

"I don't count. Hao Huai didn't seem to be afraid that Chen Wenqi would look down on him.

Chen Wenqi looked around and asked blankly, "Is there anyone else here?"

Hao Huai snorted and said arrogantly: "You don't need to know this. ”

Chen Wenqi sighed and asked again, "Then who are you? ”

"I know who he is, so I don't need to ask him. Before he could finish speaking, a man walked in from outside the door.

Yang ...... Lord Yang?" Hao Huai and Gou An were taken aback, they never dreamed that Lord Prefect would appear here.

Shen Lingshan was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted, "Uncle......"

Han Ming waved his hand and intercepted Shen Lingshan's words: "Help, I just saved you." He shouted to Hao Huai and Gou An: "Hao Huai and Gou An, don't you want to be arrested yet?"

More than a dozen catchers rushed in with bright knives in their hands.

"Take them both down. Han Ming ordered.

"Who dares to move? I slaughtered him first. Hao Huai rushed to Shen Lingshan's side, the long sword in his hand resting on his neck, and Gou An also pointed the short gun in his hand at Chen Wenqi's shoulder blade.

"Retreat...... Quickly step back. Han Ming threw a rat trap, lest he hurt Shen Lingshan and them, so he hurriedly drank the crowd to catch it.

"Hao Huai, Gou An, as people in the government, you dare to kidnap and commit murder in broad daylight, and threaten to resist arrest in front of this government, it is simply bold. If you lay down your arms and bow down to the captive, this government may be able to punish you and me lightly for the sake of you and me taking the court's money, and if you are obstinate and stubborn to the end, this government will definitely punish you severely, and will not lenient the loan. Han Ming reprimanded sharply.

Since the situation has come to this point, it is a matter of time before his identity is revealed, and Hao Huai is not afraid of a prefect. I saw him roll his eyes and shouted fiercely: "Yang Daiming, you don't use the prestige of the prefect to suppress people, and the lords don't eat your set." Now I'm counting from one to five, and you're all quitting for me. If not, the blood of these two boys will be splattered on the spot. One, two, three......"

Suddenly, Chen Wenqi, who was sitting stiffly, moved. He grabbed Gou An's gun head with his right hand, and slashed at the gun with his left hand, only to hear a "click", and the gun head immediately fell. With a flip of his right hand, he turned the head of the gun upside down and threw it at Hao Huai. "When-", a strong force shook Hao Huai's long sword away. As soon as the head of the gun left his hand, Chen Wenqi followed closely and flew forward, slashed out a palm in the air, and forced Hao Huai to take a step back.

said that it was too late and that it was fast, and these rabbits rose and fell, all in an instant. By the time everyone woke up, Chen Wenqi was already standing beside Shen Lingshan.

"Big brother. Shen Lingshan cheered.

"You...... Didn't you get the acupuncture points of the way, how could you still ......", Gou An was taken aback, not believing that this was true at all.

"How can you still move if you are pointed?" Chen Wenqi swept away the previous atrophy and asked with a clear smile, "That's because you didn't hit my acupoint at all." ”

"No way, I've never had a bad spot when I recognize acupoints. Gou An said unconvinced.

"To tell you the truth, before you clicked on my acupuncture points, I moved the acupuncture points away by half a minute, so I was just a little sour and numb at that time, and after a week of my luck, that feeling of qi stagnation disappeared. ”

"So, you're deliberately losing......"

"If not, how can you bring us here happily?" Speaking of this, Chen Wenqi and Han Ming looked at each other and smiled.

"Stupid donkey, just a stupid donkey. Hao Huai scolded angrily.

Chen Wenqi turned back to untie the rope for Shen Lingshan, and said softly: "Brother Xian has suffered, please forgive the eldest brother for being late in saving him." ”

"Big brother......" Shen Lingshan's eyes turned red, and she choked up and couldn't continue.

Rui Zhu and Jing Xing ran over, grabbed Shen Lingshan and Chen Wenqi respectively, asked long and short questions, and were happy.

When Han Ming saw that Shen Lingshan was out of danger, he breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the crowd to quickly surround Hao and Gou, and shouted: "Hao Huai, Gou An, don't you tie yourself up?"

Hao glared at Gou An with hatred, and Gou An glared at Chen Wenqi fiercely, both of them abandoned the weapons in their hands and no longer resisted.

Quickly take out the rope you are carrying, and tie up the two of them. Han Ming instructed the team leader to escort the two back to the mansion and put them in prison for interrogation and conviction tomorrow.

After the crowd left quickly, only Han Ming, Shen Lingshan, Rui Zhu and Chen Wenqi's master and servant were left, Han Ming put down the prefect's shelf, pulled Shen Lingshan and looked at it for a while, then turned back to Chen Wenqi and said: "Thanks to Chen Gongzi's help today, there is no danger." At this moment, his mother is probably worried, why don't we send him home together, what does Gongzi Chen think?"

"Late life listens to the adults' orders. Chen Wenqi humbly agreed.

When Rui Zhu heard this, she hurriedly said to Shen Lingshan: "Little, oh, young master, why don't I go first, report my safety to my wife, and then prepare dinner for everyone." ”

Shen Lingshan was in a good mood, pointed her finger on Rui Zhu's forehead, and said with appreciation: "Just you are smart, go ahead." ”

Chen Wenqi said: "Jingxing, you and Zhu Rui are companions. ”

"Okay. Jingxing was also very excited at this time, although he accidentally broke into a big disaster, now "Yang Gongzi" is unscathed, and finally unloaded the stone in his heart.

After two small walks, the three of them walked on foot. After returning from the catastrophe, everyone is indescribably relaxed.

At this time, it is already the time of the lantern, and there are few pedestrians on the street. Shen Lingshan couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Chen Wenqi: "Big brother, after returning from the big exam today, the younger brother should have set up a wine for you, but I didn't know that I was deceived and kidnapped, and the eldest brother was in danger, so I really didn't want to go." ”

Chen Wenqi hurriedly said: "What did the virtuous brother say? If it weren't for the virtuous brother's concern that the foolish brother was in poor health, how could he be deceived in a daze? Thinking that Shen Lingshan fell into the tiger's mouth for herself, Chen Wenqi felt sorry in his heart.

Han Ming on the side smiled playfully and said, "Hehe, you don't have to feel guilty. As the saying goes, the wind knows the strength of the grass, and the danger sees loyalty. Although the two of you have only known each other for three days, after today's tribulation, it is equivalent to three or thirty years of friendship. You see, it's home. ”

The two looked up, and sure enough, they arrived in front of the "Yang Mansion". Han Mei, who had never shown her face, was leaning against the door at this time, and when she saw Shen Lingshan returning, she was so excited that she couldn't care much about it, and ran towards her with open arms. Shen Lingshan took a few steps, plunged into Han Mei's arms, and shouted, "Mother-"

Han Mei hugged Shen Lingshan tightly, patted him lightly on the back, and murmured, "Shan'er, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." When he saw Chen Wenqi standing aside, he immediately realized that he was a little out of shape, gently pushed Shen Lingshan away, and smiled at Chen Wenqi: "The old body is out of shape." Could this be Shan'er's brother-in-law, Chen Gongzi?"

When Chen Wenqi saw Han Mei for the first time, it was as if he had seen it in a dream. Seeing Han Mei ask herself, she hurriedly walked up to her, knelt down on her knees, and said, "Senior Chen Wenqi to meet Mrs. In the past few days, I have been disturbing in the house, and I have not asked for peace in person, and I have asked my wife for forgiveness. ”

Han Mei looked at Chen Wenqi, as if she saw the shadow of her long-lost senior brother, and a maternal love and pity arose, and she blurted out affectionately: "Child, get up, let's go into the house and talk." "The vigilance and unhappiness that Shen Lingshan took Chen Wenqi and them to live in the house have long since disappeared.

Shen Lingshan picked up Chen Wenqi and followed her mother into the lobby. After sitting down, Shen Lingshan, Han Ming, and Chen Wenqi successively told Han Mei what happened. Hearing that Shen Lingshan was tied by Hao Huai's arms and raised her sword to be cut, Han Mei's face turned pale with fright, grabbed Shen Lingshan's hand, and carefully inspected whether there were any injuries; when she heard that Chen Wenqi instantly subdued Hao Huai and Gou An, Han Mei took a long breath and praised Chen Wenqi for his wisdom and bravery.

Han Ming and Chen Wenqi teamed up, using the strategy of "false way to cut down the enemy", using Gou An to lead the way, successfully found Shen Lingshan, and finally captured Hao Huai and Gou An, which was also a great praise for Chen Wenqi.

Chen Wenqi was praised by Han Mei's sister and brother, and his face immediately turned red, and he quickly changed the topic: "Lord Yang, this Hao Huai and Gou An don't seem to be the mastermind, there should be a mastermind behind them, I don't know how to deal with it?"

Han Ming stopped talking and glanced at Han Mei.

Han Mei understood what her brother meant, and said: "Chen Gongzi is chivalrous and courageous, and today he risked his life to rescue Shan'er, he is really a young hero of Mu Renyuyi, and there is no need to hide that little thing from him in our family, just say it." ”

Han Ming nodded and said to Chen Wenqi: "Don't hide it, my surname is not Yang, but my surname is Han, my name is Han Ming, this is my sister Han Mei, your righteous brother is a daughter, her name is Shen Lingshan, and she is my niece." ”

When Chen Wenqi heard this, he hurriedly got up and saluted again. I was relieved to have all kinds of daughters before my brother-in-law, and I had no doubts.

Shen Lingshan was broken by her uncle's daughter, her face was suddenly crimson, she stomped her feet, turned around and came out to hide her face.

Han Ming looked at Shen Lingshan's back, the smile on his face slowly faded, and he said in a heavy tone: "Eighteen years ago, my father was serving as a squire in the military department, and by chance, he intercepted the secret letter of Liang Fang, the commander of the imperial horse eunuch, who collaborated with the enemy, and was chased and killed by the masters of the Liang Fang faction. My father and mother died in Mt. Osaki in order to keep the killers out of danger, and my sister and I had to be rescued by a master, but my brother, Shan'er's father, was missing. In order to avoid the strong enemy, our sister and brother had to hide their names, but they did not dare to leave Huangzhou Mansion too far, because if the senior brother was still in the world, he would look for us near Huangzhou Mansion. Shan'er has never seen her father since she was born, so she often disguises herself as a man and goes out to look for her. Although there is a vast sea of people, my sister and I miss her very much, and we are also lucky, so we let her do it, but I know that my father has not been found yet, but was captured by the enemy. If Chen Gongzi hadn't rescued him in time, I'm afraid his life would not have been guaranteed. ”

"These wolf-hearted thieves. Chen Wenqi scolded angrily. Taking advantage of Han Ming's pause, Chen Wenqi asked, "Lord Yang, oh, it should be called Lord Han......"

Han Ming intercepted and said: "The name of the officialdom is Yang Daiming. Chen Gongzi and Shan'er are sworn brothers, so I'll take care of it, how about you call me Uncle Yang?"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, the little nephew has climbed high. ...... How could Uncle Yang conclude that it was the surname Liang's doing?"

Han Ming said: "The secret letter of collaborating with the enemy has not been recovered, and it has always been the heart disease of the Liang Fang brothers. In addition to the secret letter, we, the insiders, are also their confidants, so we will want to get rid of them as soon as possible. But his brothers are all people around the emperor, and it is inconvenient to go out of the palace, so he can only send his henchmen to look for our traces. And those of their henchmen who have never met us before, can only discern who they are looking for from their martial arts moves. Chen Gongzi remembers, when you interrogated Chu San in the afternoon, Chu San said a sentence?'In return, the condition is to help him pay attention to people who have martial arts skills that resemble swords and not swords, and swords and swords'?" Without waiting for Chen Wenqi to answer, Han Ming continued: "Coincidentally, when Hao Huai claimed to kill you, he also said to you, 'Because you shouldn't have this kind of martial arts that resemble swords and not swords, and swords and swords'. This kind of martial arts, which is 'like a knife but not a knife, like a sword but not a sword', was originally a move created by a strange person, called 'sword double kill'. Later, my mother's distant ancestor was integrated into the family martial arts, in order to kill the enemy more sharply when the hand-to-hand encounter, Jin Lei in the 'Lingnan Eight Murders' was killed on this sword move. Therefore, the person surnamed Liang only needs to find someone who uses the 'sword double kill' move, and he will definitely be able to find our sister and brother. When Han Ming said this, he turned to Han Mei and said, "It's also that we are too careless, we only know incognito, but we forgot to tell Shan'er to hide our martial arts, which is a big trouble." ”

Han Mei was lucky and asked, "Isn't it?, weren't those two people arrested?"

Han Ming said: "It's caught, but it's not easy to deal with." Anyway, they are people in the prefect's yamen and officials of the imperial court, so they can't be allowed to disappear out of thin air, right?"

"Didn't they kidnap and commit murder?

"What about the criminals, the conscription, the exile, but these can't stop their mouths. Han Ming asked rhetorically.

Han Mei listened to it and didn't make a sound for a long time.

"Madame......"

Before Chen Wenqi could continue, Han Mei suddenly said to him: "Oh, by the way, I heard Shan'er say that Chen Gongzi is from Huangzhou Mansion?"

"Yes, ma'am. The little nephew is a native of Chenjiazhuang, Qishui County, Huangzhou Prefecture. ”

"Chen Gongzi has been away from home for a few days, and after the big exam today, he should go home early, so as not to worry about the Zun Ling Hall. Besides, the old body likes to be pure, and it is unbearable to be troubled, please forgive the sin of the old body and slow customers. Han Mei's expression changed suddenly, and she said indifferently.

Chen Wenqi is such a smart person, how could he not know Han Mei's intentions? When I was at home, my father and mother and masters often taught me that helping the poor and helping the poor is within my generation. Not to mention that the righteous brother is in trouble at home, even ordinary people have to help each other.

"Mother, why did you drive your eldest brother away?"

Chen Wenqi followed the prestige, only to see Shen Lingshan, who had recovered her daughter's body, with an apricot face and peach cheeks, bright teeth and moth eyebrows, a blue long skirt lined with a thin waist like willows, curves exposed, uncovered arms as white as snow, smooth as clotted fat, and indescribably beautiful and charming in my anticipation. Rao is Chen Wenqi's self-proclaimed upright gentleman, and his eyes are straight and drunk at the moment, and he is shocked that he is a goddess.

Shen Lingshan was slightly red by Chen Wenqi's face, approached and smiled at Chen Wenqi, and said softly: "The little sister has seen the eldest brother, please forgive the little sister for the crime of concealing it." ”

Chen Wenqi shook his hands frequently, and stumbled: "Xian...... Sink...... The girl doesn't have to be polite, she's stupid...... Next...... It's abrupt, no...... Don't ......"

When Shen Lingshan saw Chen Wenqi so restrained, she couldn't help but smile and said softly: "Could it be that the eldest brother regrets worshipping?"

"Miss Shen is out of the dust, icy and jade, and she is married to the girl, which is indeed suspected of relying on jade. ”

Shen Lingshan listened to Chen Wenqi's words, and suddenly laughed wildly, shook her onion-like hand and said: "Big brother, don't drop your bookbag, what is out of the world, what is also a jade? ”

"Shan'er, don't make a fuss, we're talking about business. Han Mei had something in her heart, and spoke out to stop Shen Lingshan.

"Mother, what's the matter? By the way, mother, why do you want to drive my eldest brother away? I still have to serve wine for my eldest brother and thank my eldest brother for saving his life. Shen Lingshan suddenly remembered what Han Mei had said to Chen Wenqi just now.

Han Mei sank her face and reprimanded sternly: "What 'big brother', 'big brother'? A girl is not afraid of ......" Han Mei couldn't say anything more ugly, so she changed her tone and said: "You are not allowed to mess around." ”

Since she was a child, Han Mei has taken good care of Shen Lingshan and has never said a word of seriousness. Today's reprimand made Shen Lingshan extremely aggrieved, only to see her eyes red, and crystal tears burst out of her eyes.

Seeing this, Han Ming hurriedly pulled Shen Lingshan to his side and said in her ear:

"Shan'er, I'm afraid our enemy will be found soon, Chen Gongzi is an outsider, what are you leaving him here for?"

"Enemy, what enemy?" Shen Lingshan was taken aback.

Han Ming whispered a few more words in her ear.

Shen Lingshan's originally happy and comfortable expression suddenly became extremely low. She glanced at Chen Wenqi with the tips of her eyes, and said faintly: "Big brother, no, Chen Gongzi, it is really ridiculous for a little woman to pretend to be a man and worship you." From now on, there will be no more sworn worship, you and I are strangers. You...... Let's go. Before he finished speaking, his eyes were red again.

Chen Wenqi changed his previous restraint and said arrogantly: "Brother Xian, didn't you just say that you were not allowed to repent? When we married Jinlan, we once made incense and swore to the sky. Now, with your words, 'there is no more to worship,' how can that be done?"

Shen Lingshan smiled when she heard this: "Big brother doesn't regret it?" and then changed his face again: "Or ...... No, I regret it now...... You'd better go. ”

Chen Wenqi smiled and said, "It's too late for you to regret it now." Then he said to Han Mei and Han Ming:

"Madam, I have married Jin Lan with Ling Yan, and today I will call you 'stepmother'. Mother-in-law, Uncle Yang, don't be busy sending your little nephew away. In my opinion, things may not be so bad, it is better to interrogate Hao Huai and Gou An in detail first, or there may be a remedy. ”

Shen Lingshan looked at her mother and uncle nervously, for fear that they would shake their heads.

Han Ming patted his hand on the table and said, "Okay, let's interrogate Hao Huai and Gou An overnight." ”
