[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, the first day of the fourth month, noon, Xufu Hazelnut Residence]

After Xu Ke returned to his mansion, he immediately walked into the Hazelling Residence and told Hu Yiyi about the experience of the dynasty this morning, as well as the fact that he went to the court in person and saved Mingyue.

Naturally, he didn't say a word about the emperor's restriction that he must take the cat demon within three days, otherwise he would take him from office and go to prison.

When Hu Yiyi heard this, he immediately cheered: "Great! God has eyes, and these more than 100 people finally don't have to die." ”

Immediately, Hu Yiyi asked again: "What about Mingyue?"

Xu Ke was a little surprised and said:

"Mingyue, she's gone!"

"After you rescued her from the court, that's it...... Let her go alone?"

"This ...... Sister Hu, since I have saved her life, and the emperor has forgiven her sins, she is already a free body, so she will naturally ...... Let's go!"

"I heard from the ninth sister that Mingyue is also a hard-working woman, and she was sold to the Qinglou by her father since she was a child. Now, Cuiyun Tower has also been sealed, where can you call her a homeless and helpless person? Can't you bring her here? Xiao Wuxi, you don't dislike her background as a dusty woman, because you don't want her to enter the gate of your Xu Mansion, right?" Hu Yiyi said reproachfully.

Xu Ke's face was embarrassed for a while, and he said in his heart What Sister Hu said was not unreasonable, I knew that this was the case, I might as well simply take Mingyue back to Xu's mansion! I, Xu Ke, sat up straight, but I want to be clear in my heart, why not be afraid of other people's rumors?

However, at this time, he had sent Mingyue into the inn and asked him to pick up people again, but he refused anyway, and at the moment, he had to answer casually:

She ...... She lived in the Yunqi Inn! She said that she would wait for Mao Jiaojiao to take her to live in Xiao Kingdom......

"So that's ......" Hu Yiyi nodded and said: "The ninth sister seems to have told me about it, saying that once Mingyue is rescued, she will take Mingyue to Xiao Country together." The second brother is the national teacher of Xiao State, if they live there, it will be ...... Very good!"

Xu Ke lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Hu Yiyi's slightly questioning gaze.

At this time, it was already noon, and the sun was the warmest in the day, and Xu Ke was already a little hungry in his stomach, so Yao Zibei set up the meal, and the three of them came to the front hall to eat together.

During the banquet, Xu Ke asked again, has Mao Jiaojiao ever been to Xu's mansion? Hu Yiyi shook her head and said, she and the ninth sister originally made an appointment to meet last night, but unexpectedly, from yesterday to today, for some reason, the ninth sister has not appeared.

Xu Ke said, Mao Jiaojiao must have seen that Mingyue was locked up in the edict prison, and there was no hope of rescue, so she didn't come. Hu Yiyi still shook her head, saying that her ninth sister was definitely not that kind of person! In her memory, she would insist on doing whatever her ninth sister wanted to do!

But Xu Ke thought to himself, isn't this Mao Jiaojiao knowing that I am going to arrest her, so she doesn't dare to come?

......

......

Xu Ke remembered the safety of the rest of the girls in Cuiyun Building, so he hurriedly ate lunch and rushed to Tsing Yi Wei.

He walked into Nangong's silent office, but saw Nangong at this time, waiting for him!

"Brother Xian, you are really too reckless today!" Nangong couldn't help but blame when he saw Xu Ke.

"Brother Nangong, if it weren't for this recklessness, how could the younger brother save the more than 100 lives of Cuiyun Tower?" Xu Ke said disapprovingly.

"But, Brother Xian, you shouldn't let the emperor not come to the stage in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!"

"Brother Nangong, you are wrong! It is not the younger brother who makes the emperor unable to come to the stage, but his son who is not angry!"

Nangong couldn't help but look left and right, then shook his head, and introduced Xu Ke into the inner room, personally brewed a good cup of tea for each of them, and after the two of them sat down, he persuaded:

"Virtuous brother! Just listen to the advice of the foolish brother! In the future, you must think twice before acting! Like you do today, the emperor will be furious, and this will not do you any good as an official in the future?"

"Brother Nangong, but the younger brother doesn't see it that way...... Xu Ke still insisted: Literature is big

"What are we officials for? Is it just to be a bigger official? Like the younger brother today, he finally saved the lives of more than 100 innocent people, and the younger brother feels that it is very worthwhile!"

"However, if His Royal Highness King Wei didn't personally help you testify today, what use would it be with the enthusiasm of the virtuous brother?......" Nangong sneered, but said:

"I'm afraid, at this time, Pei Caibao has already been beaten to death with a stick, and the more than 100 people are all Ling Chi, beheaded, beheaded, and hanged...... Including yourself, Brother Xian, maybe this official uniform is no longer guaranteed!"

Xu Ke pondered Nangong's words, and couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart, today's matter, strictly speaking, it is not so much that Xu Ke saved more than a hundred lives, but that it is King Wei who really saves people!

However, Xu Ke still stubbornly said: "Even if I don't have an official uniform, I will still do it!"

Nangong said: "Brother Xian, today you made a big fuss in Hanyuan Hall for the sake of more than 100 cheap lives, which made the people of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military panic, and besides, you said that the cat demon killed the prince, once the news spreads, Chang'an City will be in turmoil again!

Xu Ke said: "Brother Nangong, what I said today is the truth, and since the matter has happened, I am not afraid of others knowing! Moreover, I do not agree with your 'cheap life' theory! Life is between heaven and earth, and life is equal for everyone, so how can there be a distinction between the noble and the low? Those more than 100 people also have the right to live, so why should they die for no reason?"

"You didn't hesitate to provoke the emperor to be furious today, and dragged the two royal highnesses, King Zhao and King Wei, into the water, just for the sake of 'equality in life, regardless of high and low' in your eyes?"

"I think that today, the lives of more than 100 people can be saved, and the mood of the two highnesses must also be very gratifying!"

Nangong looked at Xu Ke silently, the look on his face seemed to disapprove of Xu Ke at all, and he suddenly asked:

"Brother Xian, are you in love with Mingyue?"

Xu Ke couldn't help but be stunned and said:

"Brother Nangong, why do you have such a question?"

"I heard that you stayed with Mingyue last night and stayed until the hour before leaving, are you ......?"

"Brother Nangong, what do you think of me!"

"Brother Xian, I'm doing this for your good! If you listen to the words of the foolish brother, in the future, you should 'respect and stay away' from that Mingyue girl, and the farther away from her the better!"

"Why?"

"After all, she is a woman in a green house, and she was the 'main culprit' in the case of King Han, if you can't tell her clearly, everyone will think that you are trying to save her because of her beauty!"

"I have to stand up straight, afraid of where they will come?"

"Brother Xian, that's not what you say! As the saying goes, people are terrible! Around us, there are people who play with right and wrong. If you get entangled with Mingyue, when the time comes, just the saliva in my Tsing Yi Wei will drown you!"

Xu Ke raised his head, but snorted coldly: "I want to see how much saliva there will be in this Tsing Yi guard, and can I be drowned Xu Ke?!"

"You...... So, you have already taken that Mingyue girl back to the Xu Mansion?"

"What's the matter if you take back the Xu Mansion?"

"Okay, good, I won't fight with you, you can do whatever you want!"

Nangong turned his head silently, and no longer wanted to talk to Xu Ke.

At this point, it was useless to say more, Xu Ke originally wanted to discuss the cat demon case with Nangong again, but he had to get up when he saw this, so he bowed goodbye to Nangong.

When Xu Ke went out, Nangong couldn't help but admonish:

"Brother Xian, if you are willing to listen to Brother Fool, you might as well place that Mingyue in a courtyard that no one knows, and meet her quietly, this matter must not be blatant......!

Xu Ke shook his head, didn't want to have half an explanation, and went straight out.

The conversation between the two ended unhappily......
