Chapter 157: Relatives in distress

When the little boss and the other soldiers guarding the city gate come back to their senses, where is Xu Jin's figure?

"Where are the people?"

The little leader shouted, but his voice trembled uncontrollably, and he looked around nervously. This brother who is against the party looks like a gentleman, and he is really hard under his hands.

There was chaos at the gate of the city, and Xu Jin had already gone far away.

With his current cultivation, ordinary people can not distinguish clearly.

Xu Jin went straight to Xu Yaozu's residence in Jingshi, which was a small three-span courtyard. Xu Yaozu is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and he is actually taught from the six grades of civil service. The Beijing officials are noble, and the Hanlin is even more noble among the nobles, in this place of the capital division, the small editor from the Liupin Hanlin Academy, naturally there is no power at all. The family's life in Beijing is only slightly more comfortable and decent than when they were in Xujia Village.

However, Xu's father and Xu's mother are already very satisfied.

Xu Jin came to the door of the Sankuan Courtyard and saw that there was a seal from Jingzhao Mansion on the door, which had been sealed.

Under the steps of the doorway, a small figure huddled up, motionless.

Xu Jin immediately felt a familiar breath, stepped forward quickly, and looked at it, it turned out to be the little sister Xu Wanniang.

"Little Sister ......"

Xu Jin was taken aback, hurriedly picked up his little sister, and shouted hurriedly.

Xu Wanniang's face was dirty, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she had already fainted for a long time. Xu Jin shouted twice, Xu Wanniang was silent, Xu Jin hurriedly held the little sister's wrist and gently crossed into a breath of aura. Xu Wanniang sighed and slowly opened her eyes.

"Little sister!"

"Big brother?"

Xu Wanniang saw Xu Jin at a glance, as if she couldn't believe her eyes, she called out hesitantly, and reached out to wipe her eyes.

"It's me. ”

"Big Brother ......"

Xu Wanniang put her arms around his neck and cried.

"Little sister doesn't cry, big brother is back......"

Xu Jin gently patted her petite body and comforted her softly.

After crying for a while, Xu Wanniang gradually stopped her grief and sobbed and said, "Big brother...... The second brother, as well as his father and mother, were all arrested by the government...... The house was also sealed......"

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Big brother knows, little sister is not afraid! Big brother will rescue them all." ”

"Really?"

Xu Wanniang was immediately overjoyed.

"Of course it's true, Big Brother doesn't lie to you. ”

Xu Wanniang is still young after all, when the family is broken, when she sees her closest eldest brother at first glance, she is so happy that her heart seems to explode, she nods again and again, the tears on her face have not dried, but she has a smile.

"Little sister, why are you staying here alone?"

"Second brother, my father and mother have been arrested, I have nowhere to go, I can only stay here, I ...... I haven't eaten in a few days......"

Xu Wanniang said in a low voice, looking as aggrieved as she wants.

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Let's go, big brother will take you to eat." ”

"Hmm!"

Xu Wanniang nodded vigorously.

While he was talking, there was a rush of footsteps and the sound of iron armor colliding at the mouth of the alley, and someone shouted loudly, saying that they should not go to the rebels.

Xu Wanniang suddenly trembled with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "Oh no, the officers and soldiers are here again......"

Xu Jin frowned, a hint of murder flashed in his eyes. However, this erasure machine was immediately suppressed. These soldiers are just acting on orders and going on a killing spree, which is really peaceful.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay. ”

Xu Jin stretched out his left arm, hugged Xu Wanniang's waist, and with a slight touch, he crossed the house on one side of the alley and went to another alley, and then walked far away without touching the ground.

"Ah, big brother, can you fly......"

Xu Wanniang screamed in surprise.

Xu Jin smiled, reached out and scraped the bridge of her straight nose, with a look of pity on her face.

Soon, Xu Jin took his wife to a small restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and asked for steamed buns, drinks and other things. Xu Wanniang was really hungry, and when she saw the steamed bun dishes, her eyes suddenly lit up, stretched out her dirty five fingers, grabbed a steamed bun, and hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth.

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Eat slowly, don't eat too much." If you're hungry for too long, eating too much at once will break it. ”

Xu Wanniang was full of steamed buns, unable to speak, just nodded again and again.

Xu Jin poured a glass of wine and drank it slowly. He hadn't eaten whole grains for several years, and when he saw that Xu Wanniang was eating sweetly, he sandwiched a few slices of cooked beef into the small plate in front of her, and ate a slice of it himself, which tasted delicious.

After Xu Wanniang finished eating a steamed bun and ate some meat dishes, Xu Jin stopped her and didn't let her eat it again. According to Xu Wanniang now, she can eat all the meals on the whole table, but she has listened to her eldest brother since she was a child, and her eldest brother didn't let her eat, so she obediently stopped, looking at the red beef and white steamed buns in front of her, just swallowing saliva.

Xu Jin smiled and said: "Don't worry, let's buy a lot of steamed beef and go back, you eat slowly." ”

Xu Wanniang's little head jerked.

"Little sister, what happened to Yaozu, do you know?"

Xu Jin took a sip of wine and asked in a low voice.

Speaking of this, Xu Wanniang became sad again, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she said, "I don't know either...... That day, the officers and soldiers rushed to the house violently, arrested the second brother and his father, and said that the second brother had framed Ning Taishi and was a big rebel, so they were all arrested......"

Xu Wanniang is only twelve or thirteen years old, so she naturally doesn't know about the affairs of the court, and she can't say why.

"Big brother, do you think the second brother and his father and mother will be killed by the government? I'm so scared ......"

Xu Jin shook his head lightly and said, "No, don't worry, the eldest brother will definitely rescue them." ”

At that moment, Xu Jin bought a lot of steamed buns, cooked beef and other foods, and took out a large piece of gold to settle the account. Cultivators originally didn't use worldly gold and silver jewelry, but many shops on Longwu Island also used these things to make decorations. Xu Jin wanted to rush to Daliang to visit his family, and before leaving, he naturally took some gold, silver, jewelry, and the like with him.

The shopkeeper was taken aback by such a high roller, carefully cut a small corner from the gold, weighed it, and found Xu Jin a pile of loose silver and a lot of copper coins. Xu Jin took the silver and said casually: "The copper coin will reward you!"

The shopkeeper thanked him and personally delivered it to the door and bowed.

Xu Jin placed the little sister in a small inn, pre-deposited a silver ingot on the counter, and carefully instructed Xu Wanniang a few words, telling her to stay in the inn and not go anywhere, and naturally there would be a store to send food over when she was hungry.

Xu Wanniang nodded again and again in agreement, and seeing that Xu Jin was about to leave again, she grabbed his sleeve, tears slid down like beads of broken threads, and said with sobbing: "Big brother, you ...... You have to come back early, I'm so scared of being here alone......"

Xu Jin touched her head, smiled and nodded in agreement.

It was not difficult to inquire about the place where Xu Yaozu and others were held, and Xu Jin quickly figured out that Xu Yaozu was locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, which is commonly known as the "Heavenly Prison". Officials who commit crimes are usually held here. Ordinary prisoners were imprisoned in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion.

Xu Jin thought about it and decided to go to the prison of the Criminal Department to see Xu Yaozu first. Both parents are old people in the countryside, have not read, are illiterate, and they must be the same as their little sister about this sudden disaster. This disaster was caused by Xu Yaozu, go see him first and figure out the reason. As for this official of the Hanlin Academy, it's just a matter of whether he does it or not.

Although Daliang City is the largest city in the country, it is too far from the scale of Longwu Island. After all, how can ordinary mortal forces be compared with those of cultivators? To build such a human city within a radius of 100 miles, I don't know how much financial and material resources it took to build it, and how many years it took to build it.

The prison of the criminal department is in the east of Daliang City.

It was getting late, and Xu Jin Shi Ran walked into the prison. The heavily guarded prison was nothing but a null for him. Xu Jin slightly performed the Nine Shadows Divine Technique, and all the cell guards saluted him.

"My lord, please! The criminal officer Xu Yaozu is being detained here. ”

A guard of the heavenly prison, carrying a lantern, respectfully led Xu Jin to the way. At this moment, Xu Jin, in the eyes of this officer, is the official of the Criminal Department, and he is the top boss he should be in charge of.

With the power of Xu Jin's divine thoughts, it was naturally easy for these ordinary mortals to hallucinate.

"Xu Yaozu, stand up!"

Outside a cell, the jailer shouted at an unkempt young man in prison uniform.

The young man slowly turned his head with an extremely unyielding look on his face, it was Xu Yaozu. Suddenly, Xu Yaozu's eyes widened, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"Big Brother ......"

Xu Yaozu pounced suddenly, grabbed the wooden fence with both hands, and shouted in a trembling voice, the iron chains in his hands clanged.

Xu Jin waved his hand and said to the officer: "You go out first, I have a few words to ask him!"

"Yes, sir!"

The officer bent down again and again, and cautiously withdrew.

"Big brother, you ...... Why are you here?"

Xu Yaozu asked excitedly.

Xu Jin smiled slightly, raised his hand, opened the prison door, walked in slowly, looked at Xu Yaozu carefully for a while, and said with some sadness: "Yaozu, you have lost a lot of weight. ”

"yes, yes...... Big brother, you ......"

Xu Yaozu was a little confused. This is a prison, why did the eldest brother come in? Look at that official who is in awe of the eldest brother, and calls him "adult", when did the eldest brother become an official?

Xu Jin stretched out his hand, grabbed the iron shackles in Xu Yaozu's hand, and pinched them gently, and the shackles shattered like dirt.

Xu Yaozu was dumbfounded.

"Yaozu, you must be hungry too, I brought some beef bread and wine, you eat first, and I'll talk to you later." Don't rush, everything will be fine. ”

Xu Jin said, placing a food box on the small table in the prison, opening it, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Xu Yaozu was shocked, but he had always respected his eldest brother, and since the eldest brother said so, he sat down and began to eat. He was locked up in a prison, and his food was naturally not good, and he was very hungry.

Seeing that he was eating sweetly, Xu Jin showed a look of love on his face.
