"What's wrong with you, Brother Xu?" The prison in Shangjing at night was dark, Xu Ming couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and the Qian boy on the side suddenly asked in the dark. The two of them chatted for an afternoon, and they were already quite acquainted, so Qian Boy called him "Brother Xu".

Xu Ming sighed and asked, "Do you know how to get out?"

"You'll be able to get out when your sentence is up. The money boy said inexplicably.

"Then can you go out early?" Xu Ming asked him.

"There's not much you can do about it, except for money to ransom people, but it requires the signature of an immediate family member. Qian Boy said, "With Brother Xu's crime, it's a bit of a waste to spend money, I think you will be locked up for two days at most, don't worry." Qian Boy comforted Xu Ming.

Xu Ming was very anxious: "But it's too late, I want to go out now." In the dark, Xu Ming looked at the ceiling, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "If I avenge my guilt and say that I am not guilty, can I go out?"

Who knew that the money boy actually sneered "hehe": "Which of the people in the cell really committed a crime?"

Xu Ming asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

"It's like Lu Xiucai, he came in because a young man asked him to take the exam on his behalf, but he didn't go, and then he was retaliated by the young man and was imprisoned on a casual charge of destroying public property. Xu Ming looked at Xiucai, who was sleeping soundly on the side, and didn't know what to say. Qian Xiaozi continued: "There is also that big man, called Qiu Dekao, who is a fool, he was used by a young man to take the crime, and the crime was to rob the people's girls on the street. God is pitiful, this big man probably doesn't know what a woman is in his life, just because a woman was imprisoned! He is not like me, someone gave him a relationship, and he was directly sentenced to more than 20 years, and it is estimated that he will die in this prison. Qian Boy sighed, "There are actually only a handful of prisoners in the entire prison cells in Shangjing, and most of them are little people like us who have no power and are pulled to be cannon fodder." ”

Xu Ming clenched his fists in the dark, thinking of a way to escape from the cell, but he fell asleep unconsciously. When he got up, it was already bright, and an extremely strong light shone in through the window and spread on Xu Ming's side face.

"Wuhu~" Xu Ming turned over and sat up, looking at the sky outside the window, the sky was very blue and the sun was very bright.

"Awake?" Boy Qian saw Xu Ming sit up and greeted him. "Early!" "Well, early!" Xu Ming rubbed his eyes and returned.

At this moment, the door of the cell "creaked" open.

"Lu Qingyang, who is Lu Qingyang?" a prison guard walked in. "Xiucai's name didn't insult his hair. Xu Ming watched Lu Xiucai being taken out. Lu Xiucai was released after completing his sentence.

"Do you know the Thirteenth Master?" Xu Ming suddenly asked Qian Boy.

Qian Xiaozi lowered his head and thought for a while: "I don't know, I basically know the names and surnames of the few people in the capital, but I really don't know the name of the thirteenth master." ”

"What about Xu Runyu?" Xu Ming asked again.

"I know this person, the only son of Xu Tianwolf, the secretary of the military department and the executive of Jinwu, is one of the best in Shangjing, Brother Xu, have you offended him?" Qian Boy showed a sympathetic look, "Then your crime is quite light, last time a son of Hanlin offended Young Master Xu and was locked up for a whole month, and he went to Xu's mansion to apologize when he got out of the cell!"

Xu Ming was very helpless: "How can I offend him, it was he who fell in love with my junior sister, so he drugged me and locked me in." ”

Qian Boy didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement: "Then your junior sister is afraid that she will be more auspicious." Xu Runyu is a person who is lustful, picks the door and holds grudges, and has the worst reputation in our crime circle, he is unwilling to pay every time he comes to find someone to blame, but under his pressure, we all guess who will take Xu Runyu's order. Fortunately, I guess there is a hand in the boxing, and I have never taken his single. When the money boy said this, he whistled proudly.

Xu Ming became more and more panicked when he heard this, and he found that his heart had gradually accepted this eccentric little junior sister, and Guan Chunuan had already occupied a place in his heart. Xu Ming is a person who is very afraid of trouble and gets by, but he has never been a cowardly person, and the people he cares about are his bottom line.

"Thank you, Brother Qian!" Boy Qian watched Xu Ming hold the fence on the window with both hands, and with a slight force, the thick wood broke instantly, and a flame was born from Xu Ming's hand, burning the fence clean. Qian Xiaozi looked at Xu Ming in shock, blinked his eyes, and then escaped from the prison through the window.

Xu Ming, who saw the light of day again, did not have any joy, he changed his clothes, asked someone on the street about the location of Xu's mansion, and then rushed towards the east of the city.

The Xu Mansion is very large, and it is said to be the imperial residence of Emperor Xian. Xu Tianwolf was born as a ruffian and hooligan in Shangjing, and later became a soldier, performed very bravely on the battlefield, got a lot of military merits, and climbed to the position of General Jingguo little by little. When he got old, he returned to Shangjing, became the secretary of the military department, and also led the ruling Jinwu, and was a first-class important minister in the court. Xu Tianwolf spent the first half of his life fighting, had no time to take care of his family, and never had children, until Emperor Hongzhi succeeded to the throne and gave birth to his only child. He named his son "Xu Runyu" because he wanted him to be a humble gentleman, who thought that not only did he not become a gentleman, but also became a "famous" gentleman.

Xu Ming came to the door of Xu's mansion, cast a trick, and climbed over the wall in the backyard to enter.

The Xu Mansion is very large, but it is not like the mansions of other high-ranking officials, which are full of busy servants and maids, and the Xu Mansion is unusually deserted. Xu Ming crossed a small lake in the house and came to the wing room before he met someone.

Xu Ming hid behind the rockery and listened to the two maids chatting.

"The girl that the young master brought back yesterday is so beautiful!" "Yes, yes, in the entire Shangjing City, only Miss Oiran Ji of Xianyue Building can compare with her!" "It's just a pity that it fell into the hands of the young master!"

Xu Ming listened to the rockery like a knife, and he couldn't wait to rush to Xu Runyu immediately and break him into pieces, but he still controlled his angry emotions and quietly felt out from behind the rockery. A maid watched her friend fall straight down, and a sword was on her neck: "I just let her sleep for a while and said, where is your young master?"

The maid looked at her frightened face on the sword, and hurriedly said, "The young master is out, not at home!"

"What about the girl that your young master brought back?"

The maid felt that the sword was slowly about to pierce her neck, and her voice was full of crying: "I, I, I don't know, you go to the young master's room to have a look." The maid pointed Xu Ming in a direction, and then fainted with fear. Xu Ming hid the two maids and turned around and went to Xu Runyu's room. Xu Runyu's door was closed, Xu Ming listened outside for a long time, and didn't hear any sound, he pushed the door in, and the room was empty and there was no one.

Xu Ming walked to Xu Runyu's bed, there was only a pillow and a quilt on the bed, and there was no blood on the bed. Xu Ming was a little relieved.

Xu Ming slowly walked to Xu Runyu's desk again, and there was a roll of bamboo slips spread out on his desk, which was an ancient text. There are also reference materials such as "The Complete Version of the Commentary on the Four Books and Five Classics" and "Common Sentence Patterns of the Eight Strands" next to it, but they are all brand new and have not been looked at at all. There are also some bamboo slips, which are also ancient classics. Xu Ming glanced at it hastily and was about to leave, but he saw a familiar name on one of the bamboo slips: Liu Ancheng.

Xu Ming quietly pulled it out, and it was the signature outside the bamboo slip: Liang Taifu Liu Ancheng.

"Hello young master!" Suddenly the voice of the servant visiting Xu Runyu came from outside, and Xu Runyu came back. Xu Ming hurriedly put the bamboo slip back in its place and quickly climbed onto the roof.

"This old thirteen is really not a thing, obviously the woman I robbed, but he took it, he was comfortable all night last night, and he refused to give me comfort today!" Xu Runyu scolded and scolded, as if he was complaining to his scholar.

"Young master, be cautious!" the scholar hurriedly lowered his head and persuaded.

Xu Runyu didn't care: "What's the matter, he's not a thing! I can't say anything? If you want me to say every good thing in the Dongfang family, my father fought for their family in the south and the north, and laid down such a big piece of the country, and the military power was seized when he said it, and he went to Shangjing to be a military secretary, and the ruling Jinwu is an idle post with no real power, which is also too unfair!"

"Don't say it, don't say it, young master!" Seeing that the scholar was about to cry, Xu Runyu stopped talking.

"Forget it, get ready, I'll take a shower first and then go to Xianyue Building to find Miss Yueyue. "Okay young master, the villain will go. ”

"Dongfang family, Jing Dynasty royal family?" Xu Ming suddenly remembered where he had seen that thirteenth master, wasn't that Dongfang Yuntian, the youngest son of Emperor Hongzhi! I haven't seen two laps of weight in a few years, so it's no wonder that Xu Ming didn't recognize it.

......

"King Chen, then Xu Runyu went to Xianyue Tower again. "Got it, go down. The young prince waved his hand, dismissed the man in black who was kneeling on one knee behind him, and dragged his round body back to the dormitory.

"Did you rest comfortably yesterday?" Chen Wang Dongfang Yuntian pushed open the door of a room, and asked the girl who was sitting by the window looking at the fading sky outside the window with a smile.

"Thanks to the blessing of the prince, I have a good rest. Guan Chunuan looked at the eastern clouds. Although Dongfang Yuntian in front of him had a round face, he exuded a heroic spirit, which made people feel that this face was inexplicably handsome.

"That's good, my father mentioned to me that you will be in Beijing in the next few days, and he said that he wants to meet you!" Dongfang Yuntian smiled, "It's a pity that my father is busy these days, so I can only talk about it when I am free, and I have to grieve Miss Guan to wait a few more days." ”

Guan Chunuan asked a little eagerly: "Then what should my senior brother do?"

Dongfang Yuntian comforted: "Don't worry, Brother Xu Ming is very safe at the moment, and maybe he can have some cultivation this time!"

Guan Chunuan looked at the young Chen Wang in front of him, who was criticized for not learning and not knowing, and didn't know why he had an unconditional trust in him. Guan Chunuan even felt that he was not the real King Chen. Guan Chunuan stared at Dongfang Yuntian for a long time, and finally asked, "Are you really the thirteenth prince Dongfang Yuntian?"

"There is no one in this world who is stupid enough to pretend to be a stupid prince who doesn't learn and has no skills!" Dongfang Yuntian in front of him smiled, "Actually, I prefer others to call me the Thirteenth Master." ”

"Okay, Thirteen Princes. ”

"I said I like people to call me the Thirteenth Master. ”

"Okay King Chen. ”

"I said, uh, whatever you want. Dongfang Yuntian looked at Guan Chunuan, who was smiling slyly, and suddenly understood Xu Ming's feelings. He tugged at the corners of his mouth, said goodbye to Guan Chunuan, and exited the room.

Guan Chunuan turned his head to look out the window again, the sky had completely darkened, and night had fallen.

"What a thirteenth master!" Guan Chunuan sighed softly.
