Chapter 041: For Brothers
Wang Mingjie put down the teacup after drinking, and then said, "Do you know who the young man who came with Han'er yesterday is?"
After speaking, he saw his wife shaking his head, and then continued, "That person is a key criminal wanted by the imperial court, named Zhang Xuanzhi. I asked you to break Han'er apart, and then I ordered someone to take him to the secret room and lock him up, I have asked yesterday, and I have confirmed his identity, and there is no doubt that he is indeed a fugitive. ”
"Then what does this have to do with my daughter's marriage?" asked Mrs. Wang, who was a little confused when she heard this.
"You listen to me finish speaking, Han'er came to the mansion this morning, and he came so early to find that Xuanzhi. said that he had searched the entire county town last night, but he didn't find it, but he did find out the identity of Xuanzhi. Even though he knew Xuanzhi's identity, he still came to ask me for help in finding it this morning, which shows the importance of this person to the vastness. Speaking of this, Wang Mingjie stopped, picked up the teacup and took a few sips.
"So what? You don't want to say that Han'er will agree to marry her daughter for the sake of that Xuanzhi? Haven't they only known each other for two days?" asked Madame Wang in surprise.
"I'm not very sure, I'm 90% sure. Because you eat fasting and chanting Buddha at home all the year round, you don't know much about Han'er's reputation, Han'er is a person who attaches great importance to righteousness, and he is still a person who attaches great importance to feelings, not to mention a friend like Xuanzhi who is a bosom friend at first sight. Wang Mingjie said with admiration.
"According to what you say, your daughter's marriage will be completed, where is the one called Xuanzhi now? Mrs. Wang said eagerly, now she only thinks about her daughter's affairs in her heart, and she can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she sees that her daughter's affairs can be solved.
"Woman's opinion, do you know what kind of crime that Xuanzhi has committed?" Wang Mingjie got up and said.
"What kind of crime? You can't save him from a county town?"
"I sent someone to inquire about it, and that Xuanzhi didn't actually commit any crime, but the things involved were a little complicated. Wang Mingjie said with a frown as he paced.
"Since he didn't commit a crime, then why is he wanted?" Madame Wang wondered even more.
"Do you still remember the marriage between the king and the horse a while ago? It was the Jingzhou royal family, the Runan Sima family. Wang Mingjie stopped, turned around and sat down and leaned over and said.
"Of course I remember, although the people outside don't know, but as far as I know, isn't that Huang? Isn't the daughter of the Sima family missing?"
"Let's not talk about the complexity of the marriage between the Wang and Ma families, just talk about this Xuanzhi, he was wanted for helping the daughter of the Sima family escape, so I locked him in the secret room. Yesterday was the Spring Festival, and I had planned to send someone to escort him to Jingzhou in two days. Wang Mingjie said.
"What about my daughter?" Lady Wang hurriedly asked when she heard that he was going to escort Xuanzhi away.
"People who are all old can't be more stable, and they still eat fasting and chanting Buddha for so many years. Isn't it that I haven't sent it away yet, and I have already sent someone to chase it back from the person who sent the letter, so far, few people know about Xuanzhi's detention in the palace, and I will solve my daughter's matter, so you can rest assured. Wang Mingjie saw that his wife was anxious again, and after opening his mouth to accuse, he said something about Xuanzhi.
"My daughter is the meat that fell from my body, of course I'm in a hurry, since you're so sure, then I don't care, I'll go and see how my daughter is. As she spoke, Mrs. Wang got up and walked out, walked to the door and turned back and said, "You are such a daughter, you can take care of her affairs yourself." With that, he left.
Wang Mingjie watched his wife leave, and thought in his heart, "How to deal with this matter?"
Li Mansion, after Li Mingzhi sent the people of the Wang family away, he summoned the people who came to see the door and asked, "Where did the young master go?"
The subordinate replied, "The young master is out of the house, and the young master's entourage was supposed to follow, but he was driven back, and where he went, the little one really doesn't know." ”
"Go and call the little tiger. After the order, Li Mingzhi said to his wife again, "Madame, go back and rest first, I will deal with this matter." As he spoke, he motioned for the maid to help the lady go back.
When Mrs. Li heard her husband say this, she said, "Then the Wang family took the initiative to propose, Shudan, this child, I also like it, I have already given her the bracelet passed to me by my mother-in-law, I am in favor of this marriage, and you are the only one to do the work on the son's side." Originally, she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything, but changed her mouth and said, "I'm not well, so I'll go back and rest first." Just before leaving, he sighed and said, "This man of the Li family!" Although the voice of this sentence was small, it also reached Li Mingzhi's ears.
Li Mingzhi looked at the depressed back of his wife's departure, and his heart was also distressed, in order to give birth to this son for himself, his wife suffered a lot, not to mention, and also fell into a weak body.
"Master, what's the matter with me?" Li Xiaohu interrupted his thoughts.
"Ah, oh, you take two people to find the young master back, and notify me when you come back. Li Mingzhi turned back to his thoughts and commanded, and after speaking, he also went back.
Due to his long-term experience in business, Li Mingzhi looks very old, and the back of his departure is also so depressed, Li Mingzhi said while walking, "My parents are old, Han'er is still so worrying, when will he be mature?"
After Li Xiaohu heard the master's order, he immediately summoned the two guards to go out.
Li Xiaohu knew the young master's temperament, and once he got angry, he would go to Dandaoju to drink, so he went directly to Dandaoju after going out.
When he came to Dandaoju, he was told that 'the young master had drunk too much and slept down'. Li Xiaohu sent someone back to tell the master, and he stayed here, although Xiaohu was young, only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was very experienced in doing things, and he was also very loyal to his master. Haohan also likes his strength, so he chose him to be his personal servant.
In fact, Li Xiaohu is also a side branch of the Li family, his father used to farm not enough for the whole family to live, after the Li family initiated, he took care of the associated sect branches, he also grew up with Haohan since he was a child, because Xiaohu has the simplicity of a farmer, he recognized a truth, 'Whoever is really good to him, he will really repay whom'.
The young master usually treats him well, and the two have a relationship for more than ten years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are like brothers, and now that the young master has encountered this, he also feels very embarrassed. Looking at the other party's conditions, he felt sorry for the young master, and wanted to speak for the young master, he was very conflicted in his heart.
In the evening, Haohan woke up, and Xiaohu hurriedly brought water to him and asked him, "Young Master, are you better?"
"Ah...... Poof......"
"The master asked you to come?" Hao Han asked after rinsing his mouth, and after finishing speaking, he got up and washed his face.
"Well, the master asked me to come, and the master is also worried about you, but I listen to the young master for everything. Li Xiaohu hurriedly said.
"I know this, the people of the Wang family have all gone back, right? The eldest lady of the Wang family didn't make trouble, right?" asked Haohan with his hand on his head, which was still a little dizzy.
"Well, they all went back, then Miss Wang didn't make trouble, and she was very happy to look at when she left. Although Xiaohu didn't show up, he paid great attention to the young master's affairs.
"Oh, it's good that we didn't make a fuss, now that things have come to this point, we can't rely on the palace to find people, we have to rely on ourselves. Go back and call more people, and we'll search the city again. Haohan heard that Shudan didn't make trouble, so he changed his mouth and said.
"Well, I'll have someone go back and call all the nurses in the house. Li Xiaohu said and went out.
Li Haohan also went downstairs, and on the way he saw the table he was sitting at when he first saw Xuan, the table was still there at this time, but the person sitting at the table was no longer that person.
After a while, all the courtyards of the Li Mansion came to Dandaoju, and just like yesterday, Li Xiaohu took half of the people to search for Bancheng, and he led people to search for Bancheng, but this time the two searched for the position of the switch.
Two hours later, the two led people to converge, but they also found nothing, and after the Spring Festival, no one said to see Xuanzhi at all.
"Did you go out of the city?" muttered Haohan.
"Even if it's out of the city, it's time now, let's go back first, and then go out of the city tomorrow to investigate. Li Xiaohu said.
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, everyone has worked hard in the past two days, and tomorrow everyone will go to the account room to receive half a penny, which will be regarded as a hard work. Haohan said after agreeing with his suggestion.
Of course, the crowd cheered, and then happily went home.
After Haohan returned home, Li Mingzhi didn't rest and waited for him, the two talked, and the result was naturally unhappy.
In a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the first lunar month, three days had passed, and there was no news about Xuanyi, and the news of the vast reward in the middle also reached Wang Mingjie, Wang Mingjie was even more sure that his idea was feasible, so he sent someone to spread a little news.
The news that Wang Mingjie spread quickly reached Li Haohan, and when he knew that Xuanzhi was in the palace, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Xuanzhi must have been arrested on the day he went to the palace with him, if this is the case, he still harmed Xuanzhi.
Wang Mingjie didn't tell him when he first came to the door, he didn't get any news after looking for three days, and he suddenly got the news today, there must be something here. ”
He figured this out and knew that he needed to come to the door again to solve the matter, and thinking of this, he called Xiaohu to follow him to the palace.
When he came to the living room of the palace, Wang Mingjie retreated, and Li Xiaohu also retreated, and now only the two of them remained.
"What conditions does Uncle Wang need to release Xuanzhi?" said Haohan straight to the point.
"Han'er is so smart, do you need uncle's guidance on what to do?" Wang Mingjie said indifferently.
Hearing Wang Mingjie say this, Haohan's heart had a clue, "According to his meaning, as long as he agrees to marry his daughter, he will let Xuanzhi go." ”
After thinking for a long time, Hao Han said happily, "I am willing to marry Wang Shudan as my wife, I only hope that Uncle Wang can also be true to his word." ”
