Chapter Twenty-Eight: Things Come for a Reason

Da Kui rushed all the way to eat and sleep in the open, and it took less than five days to rush back to Quanzhou Mansion in Fujian Province.

The twenty guards who stayed in Quanzhou were all inexplicably excited to see Da Kui return safely, because they knew that there would be an earth-shattering move next.

Since Da Kui left Quanzhou, Pan Lei still sat in the hall on time as usual, living and eating as usual. This naturally will not arouse the suspicion of others, and after seeing Da Kui, I heard that Zhu Shouren has also surrendered, and his family is safe and sound. Pan Lei had a big heart, and after seeing Mrs. Pan's letter, Pan Lei's face turned from joy to sadness, and after a while, he was even more grief-stricken.

Da Kui couldn't help but ask why, who knew that Pan Lei was crying loudly, where could he answer Da Kui's question. Da Kui took Mrs. Pan's letter from Pan Lei's hand, but he was also shocked when he saw it.

The meaning of the letter is that Pan Lei has been away from home for two years, and something has happened in his family. A few years ago, the Yuan court increased its troops in Wuwei County and sent a great general, and this great general was Dutton.

As a garrison in Luzhou, Zhu Shouren naturally wanted to set up a banquet to entertain Dutton. Who knew that Dutton then ordered people to search for beauties in Luzhou City for his pleasure, although Mrs. Pan has been at home for a long time, but her beauty is well known. When Dutton heard that there was such a beauty in Luzhou, he immediately brought fifty of his subordinates to break into Pan's Mansion with bad intentions.

Mrs. Pan still has two sons by her side, the eldest son Pan Yang is only nine years old, and the younger son Pan Yue is only two years old. Dutton wanted to use force, but Pan Yang saw that Dutton was incompatible with bullying his mother. Then he took advantage of Dutton's unpreparedness and took a bite on Dutton's leg. Dutton was furious and ordered Pan Yang to be thrown into the well, and then threatened Mrs. Pan with Pan Yue's life.

In order to save the life of her only surviving son, Mrs. Pan could only endure humiliation and succumb to Dutton.

In the days that followed, Dutton came to disturb him three times and twice, and Mrs. Pan only wanted to die, who would have thought that Dutton would have said to the servants beside Mrs. Pan: If Mrs. Pan has any mistakes, the rest of the people and their families will not escape death.

As a result, Mrs. Pan sought death several times but was rescued by her subordinates. It wasn't until a few months later that Dutton led his troops to Wuwei County, and there was a brief peaceful day for Mrs. Pan.

Later, Da Kui found Pan's house, and Mrs. Pan borrowed Da Kui's hand to kill ...... Dutton.

At the end of the letter, Mrs. Pan said that the child would be pinned on the Taiping Mansion, and now she has no face to meet her husband, so she will say goodbye. Since then, yin and yang have been separated, and Wangfu Jun takes care of his health, takes care of his children, and ...... clouds.

There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. No wonder Mrs. Pan asked Da Kui to kill Dutton, it turned out that there was indeed such a twist and turn. Da Kui read Mrs. Pan's letter and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Pan Lei sat on the chair and leaned down. Covering his head and face with both hands, he was already making a loud cry of sorrow at this time. The man doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place, Da Kui let Pan Lei cry, maybe he will feel better after crying.

Da Kui and his relatives went out of the room and closed the door for Pan Lei. Da Kui walked to the courtyard, looked at the set facilities of Pan Mansion and couldn't help but find that every grass and tree here, rockery flowers were all set up according to the original appearance of Pan Mansion in Luzhou.

The portrait of Mrs. Pan painted by Pan Lei, Da Kui saw it with his own eyes. Mrs. Pan on the painting is the same as the real person, which shows that Pan Lei has a deep affection for Mrs. Pan.

I don't know how long it took, Da Kui heard a loud noise in the room. The relatives hurried to the door. Da Kui shouted loudly: "Stop, don't disturb Lord Pan easily." Wait and don't worry, it's okay. ”

After a while, I saw Pan Lei open the door and walk in front of Da Kui, still holding a wooden box in his hand.

"Master Zhang, this is the roster that Pan promised you, you take it. Pan Lei said in a suppressed voice.

Da Kui stretched out his hand and took the wooden box and handed it to the dog behind him, and then said: "Brother Pan, don't be sad, this list will be handled properly, I don't know what Brother Pan's plans are in the future?"

Pan Lei looked up at a cloud on the horizon and said abruptly: "Fame and wealth are a floating cloud, Pan will wander in all directions in the future and will not participate in the affairs of the Hongchen court." The words were indescribably sad, and tears could not help but flow down his face again.

Da Kui nodded and said: "This official is here to prepare people and horses, Brother Pan first went to Taiping Mansion to pick up the child, and then he can go to Wu County, Longping Mansion to find me, and the younger brother has a mansion there." From now on, Brother Pan will settle there. Da Kui said this to mean that he wanted to invite Pan Lei to go to Longping with him.

Who knew that Pan Lei smiled and said: "Thank you Lord Zhang for your kindness, Lord Zhang's kindness Pan will not dare to forget each other in this life, so I will leave." Pan Lei said and strode out of the yard.

Da Kui immediately instructed the dog to say: "Prepare a horse for Lord Pan, and give Lord Pan another 3,000 taels of silver tickets for use." The dog was ordered to do things immediately.

When night fell, the reception hall of Pan's Mansion was brightly lit, and Da Kui sat on a chair holding the list that Pan Lei handed him in his hand. It can be said that the names recorded on Pan Lei's list are basically the same as the names on the list issued by Zhu Shouren. And as Zhu Shouren said, it is difficult to record all the names on the record from memory. But Pan Lei's list just makes up for this shortcoming. There were more than 400 officials involved in the case, ranging from second-rank court officials to ninth-grade officials, and more than 2,700 officials and henchmen involved in the case.

Looking at this list, Da Kui couldn't help but be a little dizzy. These spy traitors are distributed in 82 prefectures and 696 counties under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan. It's not easy to get them all.

After thinking about it, Big Quest finally decided to return to Lin'an. Because Da Kui has his own exclusive yamen in Lin'an City, since the yamen was built, Da Kui has not been in the yamen for a day.

Da Kui ordered him to go down and leave the next day after a short rest. Everyone around him received the order and went back to rest.

In order to verify the names on the list one by one, it took a long time for Gou Yu and others to figure it out. Da Kui just sat on the side and waited for the data to come in, and now that the matter is roughly clear, there is no need for Da Kui to stay in Quanzhou. However, there is another knot in Da Kui's heart, that is, the Xiangquanfang in Quanzhou.

Pan Lei has put everything he knows on paper and handed it to Da Kui along with the roster. According to Pan Lei's writing, the person behind Quanzhou Xiangquanfang is Hu Weiyong, Taichangqing.

Hu Weiyong raised troops in Haozhou with Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, in his early years, and successively served as the marshal's office, the chief secretary of Ningguo, the magistrate of the county, the general judge of Ji'an, the affairs of Huguang, Taichang Shaoqing and even today's Taichangqing. Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, loved his talent very much, and because Hu Weiyong and King Wu were fellow villagers, Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, transferred Hu Weiyong from Huguang Province to Yingtian as a court official.

Thinking of Hu Weiyong's work in Huguang Province, Da Kui couldn't help but think of Wang Fu, who participated in politics in Huguang Province. What kind of connection will there be between these two people? Da Kui pondered for a long time and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and when he was upset, he might as well go out for a walk. Da Kui then left Pan's Mansion alone and came to the street.

The moon is as quiet as water, and Da Kui can't help but put aside his chaotic thoughts for a while, and detour all the way along the wall of the Panfu courtyard. Da Kui was a little curious in his heart: 'How much does Pan Mansion occupy?' When Da Kui went around to the back door of Pan's house, he saw a figure standing in front of the back door.

Da Kui was silent, and walked behind the man with a light step, only to realize that the man was talking to the door. This person looks very young, wearing a moon-white robe and a square scarf on his head, and he should be a scholar.

I only heard this scholar say to the door: "Lian'er, in my spare time, I went to ghostwrite for others, write door couplets, and when someone found it, I went to pretend to be a filial son and a virtuous grandson to cry for others, and I also saved ten taels of silver in the past year." This money was originally intended to be used as a coil to go to the exam, but the suffering of lovesickness, I would rather give up my fame to see you, do you know that I am infatuated?"

There was no movement in the door, Da Kui couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and immediately retreated lightly, and walked back to the main gate of Pan's Mansion quickly when he was far away. Da Kui snickered in his heart, and walked through the courtyard hall to the backyard from the mansion, and saw a slender figure standing on the side of the back door. It turned out that Lian'er had a private meeting with the boy at the back door, but it was inconvenient to open the door to meet due to etiquette.

It wasn't until this moment that Da Kui Fang remembered that since Lian'er arrived at Pan's Mansion, she hadn't seen her since she was busy. Seeing Lian'er here at this moment, I couldn't help but know in my heart. It must have been Gou Yu and others who placed it in the backyard, and they didn't hear from it for many days, but they forgot about this lotus child. At this time, Lian'er was standing in the courtyard, listening to the heartfelt narration of the people outside the door, and she was already crying.

The son outside the door still whispered: "Lian'er, don't worry." I'm going to take the entrance examination in Yingtian, and when I become famous, I will definitely come to redeem you. ”

It was only at this moment that Lian'er, who was standing in the door, said, "How can you go to Yingtian if you are penniless?"

But Childe said: "There is still an old house in the family, and I will make money if I sell it." ”

Lian'er said with tears: "Childe has spent a lot of money on the slave family over the years, and the slave family is already a broken flower, and it is not worth the child's infatuation." Childe just needs to go to the test to gain fame, and then he will be like a beautiful flower, why should Childe be like this?"

"Ask what is the love in the world, and teach life and death to promise each other? The world is a double flyer, and the old wings are cold and hot several times! Happy and fun, parting is bitter, and there are even more infatuated children. You should have a saying: Thousands of miles of stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight scenes, only the shadow for whom! Hengfen Road, lonely when the drums, the barren smoke is still flat. The spirits are a little more groaning, and the mountain ghosts cry out for themselves. The sky is also jealous, and the warblers and swallows are all loess. Through the ages, in order to stay for the people, he sang and drank wildly, and visited Yanqiu. "The son outside the courtyard whispered softly, but it was a song of 'touching the fish' that (Jin Dynasty) Yuan asked about.

Da Kui couldn't help but think of the scene when he was infatuated with Huang Ying at this time, and he couldn't help but sympathize with this infatuated son outside the hospital.

Lian'er was redeemed by Pan Lei for eight thousand taels of silver, although the beauty of adults is a good thing, but it can't be cheapened by this kid outside the door in vain. Da Kui had an idea in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Who has a private meeting here?"

This shout frightened Lian'er to the point of discoloration, and the son outside the door was even more startled and almost sat on the ground.
