Linglong

Chapter 118

Several carriages appeared on the road ahead.

The sound of horseshoes was crisp and cheerful, and soon came to the front.

"Miss San!" Tang Xiaoming jumped out of the car and bowed to salute.

Linglong looked at it with a smile, and said, "It's been a hard trip. By the way, there were two cars when you left, why are there three more cars now?"

Tang Xiaoming looked back at the convoy and smiled, "Isn't it spring yet? There are a lot of silk and satin shops, makeup shops, food shops, bookstores and calligraphy and painting shops newly opened in the capital. My wife told me that if there is a good color So I bought a few more horses and came back to make clothes for the third lady. The uncle asked me to go to the bookstore to find some new books to relieve the third lady. It is complete, but everything that can be bought on the market has everything that one expects to find.”

Linglong Yanran.

Although she lives in the village with her parents, and usually only visits her uncle's house and a few old relatives nearby, Linglong's food and clothing have never been compromised.Uncle Yu and Mrs. Qiao will send people into the city on a regular basis. One is to say hello to Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Yu, and to send some fresh melons, fruits and vegetables from the countryside, and the other is to buy daily necessities. It is exquisite.

"Sister, you're back." Tang Xiaohong walked over excitedly from the river with a bunch of wild flowers in his hands.

"Why don't you run around and serve Miss San well?" Tang Xiaoming angrily taught her a lesson.

Tang Xiaohong smiled at Mimi, "Why don't I take good care of you? Didn't I go pick wild flowers and plan to weave a beautiful wreath for Miss San!" Yang Yang took the wild flowers in her hand, declaring that she was not just playing, but doing business. .

"You're right!" Tang Xiaoming glared at her.

Tang Xiaohong stuck out his tongue, "Sister, you are so fierce!"

Tang Xiaoming pretended to be angry and wanted to hit her, but Tang Xiaohong dodged with a short body and hid behind Linglong, giggling.

"Stop making trouble, let's go back quickly, my father and mother are still waiting." Linglong said with a smile.

"Listen to Miss San, I'll spare you for now." Tang Xiaoming also laughed.

The carriage moved slowly, and the Tang sisters accompanied Linglong for a walk on the country lane, talking and laughing all the way.

"The army of the Northern Expedition is about to return in triumph." Tang Xiaoming said casually.

"Really?" Linglong couldn't help slowing down her pace.

Tang Xiaoming said: "The court is full of joy and ready to welcome the Jiao Ying. However, the commander-in-chief of the army stayed in Beiye City, supervised the construction of the city wall, and strengthened the army. He will not come back until several months later. This time, it is the Duke of Chu who commanded the army to return to the court."

Linglong let out a melancholy "Oh".

Tang Xiaoming took a quick peek at her, and said in a low voice: "Miss San, in a few months, the period of filial piety will be over for Qiao's mansion, and it's time to recover. You will also follow the uncle and wife back to the city, to the Yu's house, By the time……"

She didn't go any further, but who wouldn't understand what she meant?

Linglong felt sweet in her heart, "Wang Xiaosan won the battle, but he knew that I would not return to the city for several months, so he was waiting for me in Beiye City..." A smile flowed on her cheeks and eyes, and she was usually calm and composed. Linglong, at this moment, revealed the shyness of a young girl.

Sisters Tang Xiaoming and Tang Xiaohong saw Linglong like this, although they didn't dare to say anything, they couldn't help winking, "Look, the third young lady cares about the third young lady, and the third young lady also has the third young lady in her heart, how wonderful!" "That's right, clearly They are lovers!"

Just when he was happy, Tang Xiaoming suddenly thought of a strange thing. He carefully told Linglong, "Miss San, the family has been peaceful and fine recently. The second wife and the eldest lady and the second lady went to the princess mansion to participate in the flower viewing party."

Linglong raised her eyebrows, "Princess Zeya's residence?"

This thing is so weird.Ever since she discovered Jingxi's gullibility, Linglong explained to Qiao Sirou, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Chang, etc. that Mrs. Guan and Jingjia Jingxi have not received invitations from other families for more than two years, and they have been neglected.If Qiao Sirou and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chang didn't invite Guan's mother and daughter, the others wouldn't even be able to—the Yu family and Qiao Sirou were relatives, and the Xu family could be regarded as abducted relatives. What does home have to do with it?Princess Zeya's mansion was even more difficult. The Yu family and her were neither relatives nor friends, and had nothing to do with her.

If someone from the Yu family was an official, Princess Zeya's actions would be justifiable, but the Yu family did not.

What is her purpose?

As a eldest princess, the emperor's half-sister, her status is noble enough, there is always a reason for every action, and it will not be a whim—even if it is a whim, invite someone who has never had any contact with her, and has never lived. The Yu family is also incredible.

Linglong frowned, "What kind of temperament is Princess Zeya? Who is there in the house?"

Tang Xiaoming hurriedly said: "Princess Zeya is the eighth among the first emperor's daughters. Her temperament... I heard that she is very gentle and kind. Her son-in-law is Gong Changhou's younger brother Luo Youcheng, and she has a daughter under her knees. The daughter Luo Qionghua is this year. I haven't promised anyone yet, my son is still young..."

"Okay." Linglong raised her hand to stop her.

You can probably guess what the eldest princess Zeya intends to do.

Most of the girls in this era get engaged and get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and there are also girls who are particularly favored and valued by their families, and they will not leave the cabinet until they are even 20 years old.However, it is definitely not normal for the famous ladies who have not made a marriage agreement until now.

It's nothing if you don't get out of the court; there must be a reason for not being engaged.

Linglong thought for a while, then said calmly, "I want to send an urgent letter to the city."

"Miss San, I'll go!" Tang Xiaohong volunteered.

Linglong nodded, "Xiaohong, go back and pack your luggage first, and you will start your journey later."

Tang Xiaohong agreed crisply, "Yes, Miss San."

Linglong stopped walking, got into the carriage, and ordered the driver, "Go back, hurry up!"

The coachman flicked his whip loudly, urging the horse to run fast, "Drive, drive—"

Arriving in front of the Yu family's old house, Linglong got out of the car, hurried back to the room, ordered the maid to prepare a pen and ink, and wrote down ten words, "Your Majesty decides about the marriage of King Zhou." After finishing writing, Linglong took the envelope with her own hands Yes, hand over to Tang Xiaohong, "Must be handed over to my aunt." Tang Xiaohong had already packed his luggage, carried the package on his back, took the letter and put it away carefully, said goodbye to Linglong, and left.

After Tang Xiaohong left, Linglong sat alone for a while, amused and bored.Wang Xiaosan, you are a piece of Tang monk meat. There are always people coveting you. There is nothing you can do about it. The idea came to me...

Usually when returning from the shopping cart in the city, Linglong would always happily count the goods and pick out the things she likes one by one. Today, when Mrs. Qiao came back from the shopping cart, Linglong couldn't see anyone. She couldn't help being surprised, "Where is Longer?" ?”

Uncle Yu came out of his study and stood by the carriage with Qiao Shi, "Didn't my daughter like picking things the most? Why don't you see her?"

"I'm wondering too." Qiao Shi said softly.

After a while, Linglong came over with a smile, "What's there? Hey, there are so many clothes, all of them are very beautiful." Looking at the clothes, makeup, etc. together with Qiao Shi.

However, she always seemed absent-minded.

"Daughter, do you have something on your mind?" Uncle Yu called her to ask in a gentle voice.

Linglong hesitated for a moment, then laughed, "No, no."

She didn't want to hide it from her parents.But Mrs. Qiao is too naive, and Uncle Yu has a prejudice against King Zhou. This matter is related to King Zhou, so it's worth not mentioning it.

Uncle Yu still had doubts in his mind, but he didn't pursue anything.

Tang Xiaohong finally delivered the letter to Mrs. Guan the night before the flower viewing party.

Guan took the letter and read it, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Tell Third Miss, I understand." She closed the letter and said calmly.

"Yes, Second Madam." Tang Xiaohong was just a messenger, and when Guan said this, she bent her knees and agreed.

"You have worked hard this trip, go down and rest, and leave tomorrow." Guan said softly, and ordered her mother-in-law to take two strings of money and reward them to Tang Xiaohong.

Linglong has always been generous to others, how could Tang Xiaohong pay attention to these two strings of money?Thank you politely, took it, and left.

Seeing Tang Xiaohong's indifferent look, Guan secretly gritted her teeth angrily.

Qiao's family and Linglong are generous, and the maids they raise are also so visionary!She kindly rewarded her with two strings of money, and she didn't even glance at the corner of her eyes!
Guan took out Linglong's letter and read it again, his face gradually darkened.

"Mother, I heard that someone has come to the old house?" Jingxi hurried in and asked with concern.

Guan shi handed the letter to her with a sullen face, "Linglong has clever eyes and ears, she already knows about the family affairs."

Jingxi took a look at the letter, her face turned pale, and said in a low voice: "Mother, Linglong really said so, just as I guessed..."

Why did Princess Zeya send invitations for no reason?It can only be for this.

Guan snorted, "I don't care what these are, if Zeya has enough benefits for me, I will not let her down!"

"Mother, you mean..." Jingxi's lips trembled, showing a look of fear.

Guan's eyes became cold, and he said decisively: "If she can make you have a good future, I will agree to her any conditions! Even if I send Linglong to hell, I will agree to her!"

Jing Xi had never seen such a Guan Shi before, stared at her for a long time, then collapsed limply on the chair.

Jing Jia has already engaged with Yun Yunyi, so it is inconvenient to go out to socialize, so only Guan Shi and Jing Xi went to Princess Zeya's mansion with their maid and mother-in-law.

Princess Zeya condescended to meet Guan Shi in person, and had a private conversation with her for a while.

What is said, outsiders have no way of knowing.

The flower viewing party at Princess Zeya's Mansion was very successful, and the guests did not leave until Shen Shi.

That night, Princess Zeya ordered her maid to prepare ordinary clothes for her, and was going to enter the palace to see the queen the next day.

Princess Zeya's appearance was very ordinary, but she was very particular about her makeup. She was not satisfied with changing several hairpins in front of the mirror, so she ordered the maid to open and bring all the jewelry and put them on the table, carefully selecting them.

In the mirror, she was in her 40s, with a sallow face, and looked a little restless.

The son-in-law Luo Youcheng walked over slowly and coughed unnaturally, "Princess, do you really want to enter the palace? How do I feel...how do I feel...it's useless..."

After receiving two vicious glances from Princess Zeya, he laughed dryly and couldn't continue.

"According to you, what should we do?" Princess Yaze held back her anger, and slapped the hairpin in her hand on the table with a "slap", her face was livid, "Qinghua is a stubborn person, so I insisted on it, cousin Zhou Wang If she doesn't accept a concubine, she won't be married, and won't marry any family, what do you want me to do? She's eighteen!"

"Then wait, wait until the king of Zhou accepts the concubine..." Luo Youcheng's voice was normal at first, but later, frightened by Princess Yaze's aura, his voice became lower and lower, like a mosquito humming.

"Daughter is my failure in life alone? I should worry about it alone?" Princess Zeya gritted her teeth in hatred.

Luo You's preconceived opinion is nothing to do, so he laughed, rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, and slipped away.

Princess Zeya angrily raised a vase and threw it at him. Luo Youcheng ran away early, and the vase fell to the ground with a loud bang, breaking it into pieces.

The next day, Princess Zeya went to the palace to ask to see the queen.

The queen was coaxing the emperor's eldest grandson to play in a very leisurely way - the crown princess gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson in her first child. The child is already two years old this year, and he is very cute like a snow ball. However, he just woke up at this moment, not too old Happy, with a stern face, I don’t know what I’m thinking—Princess Zeya laughed and said a few homely things, and finally couldn’t hold back, and said with deep meaning, “Yu Jia, who is the president of Jinwen Society, listen Have you ever said that? His family intends to make Ms. Yu San recognize her as Qionghua's younger sister and serve Qionghua for the rest of her life."

The queen turned to look at her and raised her eyebrows, "Miss Yu San thinks you are Qionghua's younger sister?"

Princess Zeya nodded hurriedly, "Yes, that's right."

The queen rolled her eyes and smiled angrily, "Your Qionghua is simply a fairy in the sky. Even Miss Yu San is willing to recognize her as her older sister and serve her all her life!"

The queen's words were obviously full of sarcasm, but Princess Zeya was confused because she was concerned, she didn't hear it at all, and smiled all over her face, "Who said it wasn't?"

The queen was speechless for a long while.

The eldest grandson of the emperor suddenly opened his mouth to cry, and the empress felt distressed, "What's the matter? Why are you crying when you're fine?" The eldest grandson pointed at his own buttocks, with a shy expression on his face. The queen couldn't help laughing, "Do you want to pee? There's nothing to be shy about, it's not worth crying about."

She said it was not worth crying, but the eldest grandson of the emperor was not happy, and cried out with a "wow--".

The nanny next to him hurriedly reached out to touch it, and told the queen with a smile, "Your Highness has already urinated, and his buttocks are all wet..." The queen finally understood why her precious grandson was like this. Changing clothes, coaxing him softly.

The Crown Princess and Princess Yongning were talking outside, but when they heard the emperor's eldest grandson crying, they hurried over.

They all surrounded the emperor's eldest grandson to coax him.

After coaxing the eldest grandson of the emperor, the queen's mother, Mrs. Lan Tai, came. When the queen saw Mrs. Lan Tai, she smiled and said, "I'm already a grandmother, but I want to act like a baby when I see you. What do you say? But what should I do?" Mrs. Lan Tai deliberately said: "You are a tender little baby, who cares about you?" Everyone laughed.

Princess Zeya looked like an outsider here, feeling uncomfortable, sat for a while, and then left.

"What is Eighth Aunt doing here?" Princess Yongning asked curiously.

The queen held her forehead, "Don't mention her to me."

Princess Yongning is very obedient, "Cheng, don't ask, I guess it's not good for the eighth aunt to come."

The queen's mouth twitched.

The empress neither wanted to say this to Princess Yongning, an innocent girl, nor could she bear to bother her mother, Mrs. Lan Tai, with such bad things, so she waited until the emperor came back to the palace and complained to him, "...what are you thinking? Little San Who does she think the girl she likes serves her daughter? What kind of noble person is her daughter?"

The emperor was furious, "How dare you plot against my daughter-in-law like this!"

"That's right." The queen was also very angry, "I originally reprimanded her, but unfortunately I was busy all the time, so I didn't make it in time. Besides, just reprimanding her made me feel uncomfortable."

The emperor paced back and forth in the palace for a few steps, his face sinking like water, "Since I ascended the throne, I have always treated the royal family with generosity. The kings and princesses left behind by the late emperor all enjoy fiefdoms, super-first-rank salaries, and treatment. Favorable. However, no matter how generous the treatment is, there is always a lack of support.”

The queen's face also became serious.

The emperor returned to the empress and sat down, and said slowly: "Even the girl my beloved son likes dares to plot, it seems that I really don't think much of me."

The queen squeezed his hand tightly and patted it soothingly.

The emperor turned his head, looked at his wife's bright and clean face and smiled, "The late emperor's own daughter, my half-sister, it's not good to really do anything to her. Empress, what do you think of transferring Consort Luo to another place?"

"Very good." The Empress agreed, "Luo Youcheng is a person who has no skills, and he is just fooling around in the capital, so there is no harm in being transferred."

"No." The emperor shook his head solemnly, "He is still talented, and I will give him great compliments and promote him."

"Ascending brightly and descending secretly." The queen smiled and bent over.

The emperor originally planned to transfer Luo Youcheng to Fujian, but unfortunately Luo Youcheng broke his leg while playing polo, so the matter had to be postponed.

Although Luo Youcheng injured his leg, Princess Zeya went to the Marquis of Heqing in person in a good mood to act as a matchmaker for Song Changlin and Yu Jingxi.

Song Changlin is not yet the son of the eldest son, his background is different from ordinary people, it is a little embarrassing to say it, and the position of the son of the eldest son has not been confirmed, so the noble daughters of the famous family do not want to marry him.Marquis He Qing and Mrs. Su valued this heir very much, they would rather let him wait for two more years, and then hire a lady when he has the status of a son, rather than make a random decision, so Song Changlin has never been engaged.The Eldest Princess Zeya condescended to propose marriage to Yu Jingxi. He Qinghou and Mrs. Su felt both surprised and flattered. Also considering that Linglong will become the princess of Zhou one day, Song Changlin can be brother-in-law with the king of Zhou, and finally agreed.

The old master Yu and the second master Yu were not interested in the Heqinghou's mansion or the son, but Song Changlin had Yan Yunqing, a biological mother who was praised by scholars, and they did not object.

What's more, Song Changlin's appearance and conversation are all the best, impeccable.

Marquis Heqing's heir and the little-known second lady of the Yu family got married just like that.

Guan and Jingxi were ecstatic, and the mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, shedding tears of joy.

"Xiaoxi, you will be an extremely honorable Mrs. Hou in the future!" Guan looked at Jingxi with tears in her eyes, very excited.

Jingxi didn't know what to say anymore, she just kept nodding.

However, the palace's decree has not come down for a long time, Princess Zeya couldn't help but sit still.

She ordered someone to send a letter to Guan, asking Guan to try to send Linglong to Princess Zeya's mansion, "...as long as the person sends it, I will naturally have a way to make her recognize Qionghua as her sister obediently, and follow Qionghua as her sister." Be a little girl by Hua's side."

Princess Zeya was full of confidence, "No matter Qionghua's status, talent, appearance, or temperament, she is the most suitable to be the princess of Zhou. If there is such a little girl by her side, Qionghua must be the princess of Zhou."

Isn't it the third girl of the Yu family that King Zhou is concerned about?After marrying my daughter, not only will he have a princess from a famous family, but he can also sit in his arms with his sweetheart, isn't it very happy?
Mrs. Guan remained calm. Before the marriage between Jingxi and Song Changlin was settled, it was just a blockage and delay. After the marriage was settled, she slowly told the truth, "How can I bring Linglong to your mansion? Mo Say me, no one in this world can do it. Linglong will keep a mourning for her grandfather in Yujia Village for three years, this is a pre-determined thing, and no one can change it."

Princess Zeya fell on her back in anger.

"The Guan family of this small family has such a profound city!"

Guan Shousheng followed the army in the Northern Expedition. He was still alive and kicking when he set off, but he was a dead body when he came back—he was killed in battle.

His death was Song Changqing's life.

Song Changqing persuaded Guan Qianhu to let her go with sweet words, "Your son is gone, so why keep me? Father-in-law, you are still young, why don't you marry another wife and have another child, wouldn't it be a good day?"

Song Changqing was willing to leave half of the dowry to the official's family, in order to fulfill the affection between her and Guan Shousheng.

Guan Qianhu was very moved, "Half of her dowry is a lot of money. With this money, what kind of little lady I can't marry? No matter how bad she is, she is also a girl from Heqinghoufu. Don’t dare to kill her, raising her for nothing to waste food?”

Song Changqing took half of his dowry in exchange for his freedom.

She didn't move back to Heqinghou's mansion, but bought a house on Qipan Street with the money, and lived alone.

After Jingxi and Song Changlin got engaged, she went to Yu's house to visit Jingxi and put on makeup by the way.

Jingxi was intoxicated by the bright future, forgot all about the past, and received her shyly.

"Princess Zeya would be a matchmaker for you. I really never imagined it." Song Changqing said with a smile, "She must want to please your third sister and make friends with Princess Zhou in advance, so she is willing to do this, right?"

"It's not." Jingxi blurted out.

"Oh, what is that?" Song Changqing looked at her with a smile, "Could it be that her daughter wants to be Princess Zhou?"

Jingxi's memory came back, her face flushed, and she lowered her head angrily.

She didn't answer Song Changqing, but Song Changqing could guess the inside story.

Song Changqing said goodbye with a smile, and after returning, ordered someone to send a secret letter to Princess Zeya's mansion.

"I don't know what you want to do, but I know that I have a way to destroy Yu Linglong."

When Princess Zeya received the secret letter, her heart was pounding, "If Yu Linglong can be destroyed, why should Qionghua take her by my side? King Zhou has such a pet by his side, it is always bad for Qionghua .”

She took the secret letter and read it again, making up her mind.

More than a dozen wolves and tigers came from Yu's Village, and they rushed directly to Yu's house.

The leader asked carelessly: "Who is Yu Tai? Come with us, the county magistrate is here to invite you."

Uncle Yu received these people in the front hall, Linglong listened to them outside the window, her heart sank, she asked Tang Xiaoming to tell him, "these people are not greedy for money, throw a lot of money in the past, be sure to delay time." Then ordered Tang Xiaohong, "You bring your hands and go to tear down the bridge, quickly!" The two agreed, and went to obey orders.

Linglong walked quickly to the back garden and shouted: "Uncle Zhong!"

Uncle Zhong came out of the greenhouse in a calm manner, "Here we come."

When he first came to Yu's house, he pretended to be handicapped, but Qiao was kind-hearted and asked for medical treatment and medicine for him, and gradually he became no different from ordinary people, looking like an ordinary middle-aged man.

"Uncle Zhong, you set off immediately and go to Xishan Academy." Linglong's face was solemn, "You must hide my two brothers so that no one can catch them, understand? Put my two brothers in place, and you find the regulars in the academy." Na, tell him that Yu Linglong is in trouble, please ask your grandfather to help."

Uncle Zhong raised his eyebrows, "What is there to hide your two elder brothers? What about your mother and you? If you want to hide, I have to hide you two first! You two are women, and you can't bear to be beaten. !"

Linglong was anxious, and she paused and said, "Uncle Zhong, will you listen to me? Chen Junyan sent you here, are you going to have trouble with me?"

Uncle Zhong was very annoyed, "Of course it's not against you, it's here to protect you. However, you are young and have not experienced any dangerous things, but I am an old man. If there is any danger, I will make up my mind and compare it." appropriate."

"Uncle Ganqingzhong doesn't pay attention to me at all." Linglong said coldly.

Uncle Zhong looked helpless, "My life belongs to the Chen family, how could I not take you seriously? It's just that you are too young, you have never experienced the ups and downs in this world..."

"So, am I not qualified to order you?" Linglong said lightly.

"No." Uncle Zhong shook his head.

"Then, you will follow my orders." Linglong's tone was unquestionable, "First arrange my two elder brothers, and then send a message to Chang Ne, don't delay!"

Standing in the sun, Linglong's delicate face showed a look of determination that was not commensurate with her age, awe-inspiring and inviolable.

Uncle Zhong's heart became hot, and he said loudly, "Obey!"

He went back to his room to fetch some important things, said goodbye to Linglong, jumped over the high wall, and left.

Tang Xiaoming held out a plate of broken silver, with a smile all over his face, "Masters, you have worked so hard, this is a trivial matter, it is not a respect, it is not a respect."

The guards' eyes lit up, and they all stretched out their hands to grab. Those with sharp eyes and quick hands grabbed more, while those with slow hands grabbed less. Two quick-tempered people argued on the spot and almost fought.

"Don't worry, there's still more." Tang Xiaoming ordered the little girl to take out another plate of silver, and discussed with the guards with a smile, "How about this? Everyone take out all the silver and divide it equally, how about it?"

The officers sat down to discuss the distribution of money, Tang Xiaoming approached the leader, and secretly stuffed a large piece of money into his hand, "Master, what is your name?" The officer smiled and put away the money, " You are a smart girl, much better than Yu Tai's bookworm. Girl, let me tell you, my surname is Liu, and I am the leader of these people."

"Master Liu, I have admired him for a long time!" Tang Xiaoming exclaimed, and stuffed another piece of silver into his hand.

Officer Liu was very happy.

"Master Liu, let me take a step to talk." Tang Xiaoming moved to the side of Liu's guard, and deliberately lowered his voice, "Master Liu, to tell you the truth, my uncle is a gentleman, and he has never been brought to court in his life. What is the matter?" , thank you for your kindness?"

Officer Liu rolled his eyes, looking very embarrassed, "Is this..."

Tang Xiaoming winked, "Wait a moment." He walked in quickly, came out after a while, and quietly stuffed another piece of money in the past.

Officer Liu was overjoyed, and whispered to Tang Xiaoming with all his heart, "I don't know the reason, but the magistrate followed Shangfeng's order. I vaguely listened to it, and it seemed that he had something to do with some Jiangyang bandit." related."

There was a buzzing in Tang Xiaoming's head, a little dazed.

If he has anything to do with Jiangyang bandits, the Yamen will definitely punish him.I'm afraid that if the rescuers come a little later, that gentlemanly man like Uncle Yu will...

"Just take my uncle away, are my wife, young master, and miss all right?" Tang Xiaoming asked in a low voice.

Officer Liu touched the heavy silver in his bosom, and felt that he would be sorry for not telling the truth, so he told Tang Xiaoming in a very low voice, "I think you are also a smart person, and you have a clear heart, so I won't hide it from you. Yu Tai is leaving, and when he recruits, all the family members will be locked in, and no one will be able to hide! Those who are waiting to arrest the family members are probably on their way right now."

Tang Xiaoming was completely cold from head to toe.

Is there even a need to ask, first arrest Uncle Yu, beat him into a trick, and immediately take his wife and miss away!No one can escape!
"Thank you, Master Liu." Tang Xiaoming pretended to be sad, and wiped his eyes, "My wife and young lady are all delicate people, I'd better let them... Sigh, it's better to die innocently than to be humiliated in the yamen... ..."

As he spoke, he stuffed another piece of silver in the past, "Your great kindness, we will never forget it."

Officer Liu became kind-hearted at this moment, and persuaded her in a low voice, "Girl, your wife can't hide from you. No one cares about you as a girl. Take the time to run quickly, you know?"

Tang Xiaoming nodded indiscriminately.

When it was too late to delay, Uncle Yu was still taken away by the guards.

He is a juren, weak in writing, and the guards did not tie him up.

When they arrived at the river, the group of people were dumbfounded: the small bridge that was fine when we came here has collapsed!

Officer Liu yelled, "The magistrate of the county is strict, I'm still waiting to go back to work, the bridge has collapsed!" After cursing for a while, he pushed Uncle Yu arrogantly, "Yu Tai, how can there be any other way?" Uncle Yu said indifferently Said: "This is the west end of the village. The north and south of the village are mountains. There is no road. There is also a bridge at the east end of the village, but it leads to the mountain. If you start from there, wait for a fork in the road and then turn. It is estimated that it will take you two to reach the county government office." Three days."

Officer Liu became even more angry, and uttered earth-shattering abuse again.

He stood by the river worrying, "If I don't go back today, it's not a matter of [-] boards and [-] boards. The county magistrate can kill me! But the bridge is gone, so I can't get across..." He was worrying , suddenly his eyes lit up, "Swim over!"

Two servants with good water skills got into the water first.

After entering the water and swimming forward for a short time, the two guards sank slowly, and only occasionally bubbles were seen in the river on the bank.

"What's going on?" The rest of the guards were so frightened that their scalps went numb.

"Have you met a water ghost?" Uncle Yu said coolly, "This river has been occupied by water ghosts since ancient times, and entering the water is courting death."

The guards complained endlessly.

When it was getting dark, another group of guards came from the other side of the river, more than a dozen of them, and all of them were fierce.

Officer Liu shouted to them across the river, "The bridge has collapsed and we can't cross it. That bridge is at the other end of the village, and the detour is too far... There are water ghosts in the river, and two of our brothers have already died..." The people on the other side Surprised, "Two brothers died? This is really evil."

It's really extraordinary that someone was arrested and brought to justice, and someone died in the middle of it.

After discussing across the river bank, they decided that the group of people should return to the county government office to report their orders, and this group of people will return to Yujia Village temporarily, and the criminals will be strictly guarded and not allowed to escape.

Officer Liu and others took Uncle Yu back to Yu's house.

Linglong had been prepared for a long time, and immediately ordered the maid to serve these people with face wash, towels, and hot and delicious food, "Everyone, please take it easy, please take it easy."

They also served wine, which was very fragrant and mellow, 30-year-old Pear Blossom White.

One alcoholic couldn't help but took two sips first, praising the wine, and the rest couldn't help but raised their glasses.

Linglong looked at the group of people outside, her teeth itching, "If I'm more cruel, I'll add something to their wine and food..." Uncle Yu pulled her away, "Daughter, don't worry about it, we still have family members. There are also clansmen." Linglong followed him step by step, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "Then you still keep King Zhou away from thousands of miles away?"

Isn't it better for the family and clan to have a good relationship with Wang Xiaosan?

Uncle Yu was silent for a moment, and gently combed her temple hair. He wanted to say something, but he still didn't speak.

"Wait for the rescuers." Linglong looked up at the starry sky eagerly, "I'm relieved when the rescuers come."
