After Fu Cheng finished speaking, Du Buyi was about to come out, but suddenly a person dressed as a boy and brother came out of the crowd, and said to Xia Xun:

"Lord Xia, is it wrong for you to judge the case like this?"

Du didn't forget to look at this person, isn't it Yan Song's son Shifan?

After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Qi beside Du Buxing:

"County Lord, do you remember me?"

Zhu Qi had naturally met Yan Shifan a few times before, although he didn't like it and was a little embarrassed to meet, but he still nodded reluctantly with a smile.

Xia Xun slapped the board hard at this time, and questioned Yan Shifan in the audience:

"Who are you, and why are you so ashamed to speak up here?"

Yan Shifan replied:

"In Xia Yan Shifan, I was entrusted by the Criminal Department to send a letter to Lord Xia!"

After speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xia Xun.

Xia Xun opened the letter and looked at it, was stunned for a long time, and then patted the board:

"That's all for today's case, retire!"

Then invited Yan Shifan, Du Buyi, and Xi Siqi to a room behind the yamen.

Du Buyi was also curious at this time, and took the letter from Xia Xun's hand and glanced at it, it turned out that the letter was written:

"The emperor has already read Wu Chengen's slanderous articles, and thinks it's just some ignorant literati making up nonsense, it's not a big deal, now it's the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty is magnanimous, and he doesn't want to deal with such ignorant people, so he won't be held accountable, I hope it will wake up sooner in the future!"

At this time, Zhu Qi was very happy and said:

"I didn't expect my imperial uncle to be really a saint!"

At this time, Xia Xun's face was very unhappy, and he didn't seem to want to let Wu Chengen go at all.

It was Yan Shifan who opened his mouth first:

"Lord Xia, since the emperor's order, why don't you just let Wu Chengen go?"

Xia Xun looked at the expressions of the three people beside him, and naturally he already had a number in his heart, and then said:

"Although Your Majesty's will exempts Wu Chengen from the death penalty, it only says that it will not be held accountable for the crime of anti-text, but as far as I know, Wu Chengen has also committed a major crime!"

After speaking, he waved his hand outside the door, and immediately Uncle Li, the housekeeper of Wu Chengen's mansion, walked in with a letter.

Xia Xun motioned to Uncle Li to hand the letter to Du Buxing:

"Brother-in-law, you and Yan Gongzi should take a look at this letter again!"

Zhu Qi felt very bored, said hello to Du Yiyi, and went to the courtyard to admire the flowers.

Du did not forget to open the letter and take a look, it turned out that this letter was an unsent letter written by Wu Chengen's father Wu Rui to the national teacher Shao Yuanjie before, in which he praised and boasted in every way that the national teacher Shao Yuanjie had contributed to the Ming Dynasty, and the meaning of the text was even groveling to be Shao Yuanjie's godson.

After reading it, Du did not forget to say:

"Who in the officialdom today has not written this kind of flattery and boasting to others, and it is not a crime?"

Yan Shifan also looked at the letter and smiled at Du Yi:

"Brother Du, you are wrong, in fact, I came this time and brought an emperor's secret order!"

Du didn't forget to look at Xia Xun and Yan Shifan, who seemed to be very familiar:

"Why are you in court and pretending not to know?"

Xia Xun also smiled:

"Actually, I have known Yan Gongzi for a long time, after all, the relationship between my father and Master Yan is not ordinary, and there is no relationship in the court!"

Yan Shifan said to Xia Xun:

"You can show the emperor's will to Brother Du!"

Xia Xun took out a yellow scroll from a secret pavilion in the wing room and handed it to Du Yifu:

"Brother-in-law, take a look!"

Du did not forget to open this scroll and take a look, only to see that it was the emperor's handwritten decree of Emperor Zhu Houxi, which was:

"I have long been aware that the national teacher Shao Yuanjie has the treason of colluding with the Tatars and the Japanese Kou, but because the national teacher has already had a lofty status in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and has even become a saint, I have to secretly send Xia Qing and Yan Qing to closely monitor the national teacher's every move. ”

Du was also shocked after reading this holy decree, but immediately his heart was also happy:

"Since this is the emperor's secret decree, it must be that no one else knows about it except Lord Yan, Lord Xia and the two sons, right?"

Yan Shifan nodded:

"Yes, so the most important thing for me to come here this time is to go to Longhu Mountain to find a way to get rid of it for the emperor. ”

Du did not forget to ask again:

"Then this Wu Rui just praised the national teacher Shao Yuanjie, and His Majesty has also strictly ordered that this matter should not be made public, what is Wu Rui's crime?"

Xia Xun said again at this time:

"But I can see that my brother-in-law's face will be released for the time being two days later, but I have already copied Wu Rui's flattering Shao Yuanjie's article and handed it to the emperor. ”

Du did not forget to say immediately:

"Brother Xun, why do you have such a big grudge against the Wu family?"

Xia Xun did not reply, but continued what he said before:

"Wu Rui's matter involves a local wealthy businessman who colludes with the central officials, the emperor hates the collusion of officials and businessmen the most, and now is the critical time to get rid of Shao Yuanjie, it is impossible to give up, I think if Shao Yuanjie is punished, everyone who has contact with him will probably be implicated. ”

Du didn't forget to see this, so he had to say:

"Okay, I hope Brother Xun can abide by what you just said, and three days later, release Wu Chengen and his family. ”

Then he came to the courtyard to find Zhu Qi with some anger, planning to go back with her.

But after looking around, there was no trace of Zhu Qi, and when I asked a maid in the house, this maid told Du not to forget:

"Miss Zhu Qi has left. ”

After listening to this, Du was stunned, a little incredible, after all, how could Zhu Qi leave himself alone, but he only had to go to the mansion, and planned to go back to his mansion to see if Zhu Qi had gone back.

I hurriedly walked halfway down the road and almost bumped into a woman.

The two looked up at each other, and Du did not forget to call out in surprise:

"Wan'er, how could it be you?"

At this time, the woman, with her head down, hurriedly ran to the side.

Du Buyi followed and chased after him, but he really chased outside the Murong Mansion.

At this time, Murong Mansion seemed to be much more depressed than before, and after the woman entered the house, someone immediately closed the door.

Du did not forget to knock on the door and shouted:

"Wan'er, it's me, I'm Du Don't forget, Du Tanhua, you Brother Du, open the door, don't ignore me like this......!"

I only heard a sentence come from inside:

"Don't knock, our young lady doesn't know you!"

Du Bu did not forget to continue to knock again:

"I know I'm sorry for you before, but since we met today, why bother?"

After knocking for a while, the people inside really couldn't help it, and after a maid opened the door, she said to Du Yi impatiently:

"You are not annoying, our young lady said that she doesn't know you anymore, you are still noisy, if you do this again, I will have to sue the official. ”

Du didn't forget to look at the maid and didn't know it at all, so he asked:

"Alright then, I'll ask you a few questions, can you answer me?"

The maid nodded:

"Forget it, you ask, but I'll only answer you two questions, and when I'm done, you have to leave!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Good!"

Then asked the first sentence:

"I want to know if that girl just now is Miss Wan'er from your house?"

The maid immediately replied:

"It's not!"

Du did not forget to ask again:

"Could it be that your Murong Mansion has changed its master?"

The maid sneered:

"You care so much, what does it have to do with you whether our Murong Mansion has changed the master or not?

After speaking, Du didn't forget not to pay attention, and closed the door again.

Du did not forget a wry smile, and said to himself:

"Okay, count me on my own amorous feelings!"

Then he turned around and walked away.

As a result, I just walked not far, thought about it, and felt that the woman I saw just now was indeed too much like Wan'er, and Wan'er must have a reason why she didn't see herself, and then walked back.

At this time, I found that the woman who looked like Wan'er just now seemed to be carrying a flower basket, followed by the maid who had just opened the door, and hurriedly went to the direction of West Lake.

Du Buyi quietly followed.

I followed him to a compound by the West Lake, and this courtyard is very familiar, this is exactly where I was rescued by Feng Niang and lived.

As soon as the two women entered the gate of the courtyard, a servant came out and closed the gate.

Du Buyi had to quietly jump into the courtyard on the side, and when he looked inside, it was still very similar to the scene when he first came before.

When I walked outside the lobby, I heard a conversation coming from inside, and then I looked inside and was instantly startled.

At this time, Du Yi's expression does not know whether to be sad, desperate, or sad!

It turned out that a woman in the room was sitting in the arms of a man in his fifties, and the woman seemed to be looking at the man with affection, and the man's hand was also wandering on the woman's body.

Who is this woman? ...... She is Feng Niang.

And this man scattered wealth gang advocate was born, although he has not seen it for many years, but because he saved himself, it is impossible to forget it.

Just as Du didn't want to look at it again in despair and was about to leave, a daughter came out of a side compartment, which was naturally the woman who looked similar to Wan'er.

The woman sat opposite the two of them, smiled at Zhang Sheng, and said:

"Gang Master Zhang, I really envy your sister who follows the wind!"

As soon as Du Yi heard this voice, he naturally confirmed that it was Murong Wan'er.

Zhang Sheng replied to Wan'er:

"I was born to be a natural pair, but we have only been separated for so many years, and now we are blessed to be reunited. ”

After Feng Niang got up at this time, she asked the two of them:

"Do you want to hear me play the lute?"

Zhang Sheng looked at Feng Niang and smiled:

"Okay, Feng'er, I haven't heard you play the pipa for a long time. ”

Wan'er also said:

"Sister Feng'er, I've heard about you for a long time, and today it seems that you can rub off on the blessings of the gang leader. ”

Feng Niang then entered the side compartment, and after a while, she walked out with a pipa in her arms.
