female catcher

Chapter 180 I swear

Jiang Xiyuan couldn't refute Jiang Zhutang's words, because what he said made sense.

The personal soldiers of the general's mansion are the kindness of the first emperor Gaozong to the veteran general who has made great achievements in the war. To put it bluntly, it is a welfare package, which roughly means 'I trust you'.

As there have been no major wars in recent decades, this benefit has not been granted.Even back then, only the three generals' mansions had this kind of treatment. The Great General Protecting the Nation and Lord Zhu Guo had both passed away, and now only Jiang Zhutang was left here.There were no guards on the street, not even a framer, it must belong to the Jiang family, there is no semicolon.

It is a big taboo for private soldiers in Beijing, fortunately, the imperial army came slowly, if they arrived in time, the imperial army would not be held accountable even if they killed all the soldiers on the spot.But then again, if the forbidden army moved quickly, he wouldn't have to bring his own soldiers over there.

Although Jiang Xiyuan had also made preparations before mobilizing the soldiers and removed the armor and blades of the soldiers, the saying of "borrowing people to clear the way" is just a word game, it's all up to Su Zhen to believe it or not.

The matter has come to this point, he can only do what comes and goes, anyway, he has already done it, and he has not regretted it.If Su Zhen cared about friendship, it would be fine, but if he didn't, the worst would be to dismiss him from his official position, so he didn't care.

He really wanted to tell the reason, saying that he acted rashly for the sake of a girl, that he already had his own heart, and he got angry at the crown for the sake of beauty.But no.Right now, the family members are all angry, if they find out, they may directly position Xia Chu as the root of the disaster, and it may be difficult to turn around in the future.

Jiang Xiyuan's silent and correct attitude made Jiang Min very angry.He didn't believe that Jiang Xiyuan was so careless, and felt that there must be some reason he didn't know about it, so he pushed him to tell the truth as soon as possible, so that his family could help him make up his mind.But Jiang Xiyuan talked about those few words, and when he asked urgently, he said that he would go to kneel in front of the palace gate now, which made Jiang Min so angry that he cursed endlessly.

Jiang Zhutang looked at Jiang Xiyuan for a while, then stretched out his hand to stop Jiang Min, sighed heavily, and stood up leaning on his crutches, "Okay, don't tell me if you don't say anything. I will go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow."

"Grandfather..." Jiang Xiyuan wanted to say no, but was stared back by Jiang Zhutang.Jiang Zhutang poked him with a cane, "Go! Kneel in the ancestral hall for me, and you are not allowed to come out until Yongwei gets married!"

Jiang Xiyuan was imprisoned in the ancestral hall, but his second elder brother Jiang Xitong came back and looked for Jiang Xiyuan as soon as he entered the door. Jiang Min said angrily, "Dead!"

Jiang Xi was stunned, then frowned and said, "Father, don't be angry, I have something to ask him. Did father know about the disturbance in front of the government office today?"

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly winked at him to tell him not to mention this matter, Jiang Xitong was puzzled, asked carefully and found out that Jiang Xiyuan brought his own soldiers out to quell the commotion, so he couldn't help being startled for a while.

"Yuan'er was beaten by the old master a few times, so cruel, he didn't think he was his grandson. Pity my son..." Mrs. Jiang wiped her eyes distressedly again.

Jiang Xitong frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "Mother, don't cry, any number of sticks are nothing more than skin trauma. It is reasonable to talk to Yuan'er about a marriage as soon as possible."

Mrs. Jiang's crying stopped abruptly, and she said inexplicably: "What's the relationship between these two things? I have mentioned Yuan'er's marriage a lot, but I also agreed to him, and he must nod his head to hire a girl from any family." .”

"Then mother will probably have to wait." Jiang Xitong sighed, and after hesitating for a while, he told Jiang Min and Mrs. Jiang about the gossip he heard on the street just now.

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang clutched her heart and fell down on the chair, crying with a pale face, "How can this be good! Tonger, did you hear it wrong? Why would Yuan'er let a young man be an arrester?" Head, he is not that every inch of the child!"

"He has a measure! How did he enter the ancestral hall and kneel!" Jiang Min angrily patted the table.

Jiang Xitong stroked her back and comforted her: "Mother, don't be in a hurry, and father, don't get angry either. Didn't I rush back after hearing the news? I just wanted to ask him what happened. Don't spread rumors."

"Ask!" Jiang Min also jumped up, "Brat! After being sensible for a few years, he finally changed the play for me! If it's true, see if I don't break his leg!"

Jiang Xiyuan was not honest in staying in the ancestral hall at this time, he was telling Liu Qi to bring the good medicine from home to Xia Chu through the crack of the door, and to see if she was okay by the way, and told her not to worry, he was there for everything. .

"Master, what's wrong with you, you can't get out now, what can you do?" Liu Qi said anxiously and helplessly.

"Go if you are told!" Jiang Xiyuan reprimanded, "You thought I would never go out after entering the ancestral hall? Young master, I haven't become a memorial tablet yet! If you can't do it, you just wait!"

"Yes yes yes." Liu Tiao hurriedly cupped his hands and turned around and ran away.

As soon as Liu Qi left, Jiang Min led Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xitong to kill him, aggressively.Jiang Xiyuan saw it through the crack of the door, and hurried back to kneel down.

The door was pushed open with a bang, Jiang Min pointed at Jiang Xiyuan and said, "Stinky boy! Tell me clearly, what happened to that Chu Xia!"

Jiang Xiyuan's whole body tensed up, he turned his head in surprise, and pretended to be stupid: "The government's arrester? What's going on?"

Jiang Xitong told Jiang Min not to be impatient, stepped forward and squatted in front of Jiang Xiyuan, told him what he had heard on the street, and asked earnestly, "Xiyuan, is there such a thing? Zong, tell the truth to your family."

After listening to him, Jiang Xiyuan knew exactly what happened in the riot in front of the government office, and only then did he understand the meaning of what Xia Chu said to him before he left.

Child molestation?Little boy?He sneered in his heart, he didn't know who was so vicious, thought of such a thing and came out to slander him and Xia Chu.No wonder Xia Chu was so depressed that he even dropped the case.

"Xiyuan, talk!" Seeing him distracted, Jiang Xitong couldn't help urging him.

Jiang Xiyuan glanced at him, turned his head and raised his arms facing the rows of memorial tablets of his ancestors, and said clearly and loudly: "My ancestors are above all, and I, Jiang Xiyuan, have nothing to do with Xia Chu. If you come out, you should guarantee your life, if you speak falsely..."

"Oh, that's enough." Mrs. Jiang came over and held his hand, "It's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have it."

Jiang Min also heaved a sigh of relief, but he still had an uneasy expression on his face: "That Xia Chu, you sent him out of the government office early, so as not to cause any trouble again, do you hear me?"

"No." Without even thinking about it, Jiang Xiyuan said categorically: "My boy is not wrong, and Xia Chu is even more right. My boy can't punish innocent people with the mistakes of others."

"Hey!" Jiang Min became angry again, "It's been spread like this outside, you still..."

"Father." He said in a clear voice without looking back, "I have the courage to ask my father, if there are enemies on the battlefield who try to slander my worthy people or innocent generals, will my father kill him even though he knows he is innocent?" Is it over?"

"I didn't let you kill him!"

"How is it different from killing her? People live more than just one life. She was brought into the government office by a child and promoted to be a head catcher. She was used when needed, and she was abandoned to protect herself when she was slandered. Children can't do such a thing." " Jiang Xiyuan raised his head, "I, Jiang Xiyuan, will do everything I can to protect her as a headhunter in Xijing, and to return her reputation clean. Father doesn't need to say anything more."

Jiang Min fell silent, looked at Jiang Xiyuan for a while and left with his hands behind his back, and Madam Jiang chased after him.Jiang Xitong patted him on the shoulder, "You take care of yourself."

Walking outside the courtyard, Mrs. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered: "I said Yuan'er is not that kind of child, can you hear me now?"

Jiang Min stopped and glanced at her, "Ma'am, no matter how poisonous the oath he swears today, he won't be able to control the future. This time he will be righteous if he wants to, and he will not let go of that early summer. I have nothing to say." But there is one thing that cannot be the other, you, give him the marriage as soon as possible."

"Then I didn't promise him..."

"What's the matter with the promise!" Jiang Min poked his neck and said, "Why don't you ask him if he promised to be born in Jiang's family! I gave birth to him and raised him, how could he have so much reason!"

Madam Jiang stopped talking.Jiang Min snorted, "I'll go to the old man right now, the old man will enter the palace tomorrow, if the emperor has no intention of blaming him. I think it's best to talk about this matter in front of the emperor, lest this kid take advantage , will suppress us with an oracle in the future. This bastard can do anything!"

Liu Qi took the wound medicine and went to find Xia Chu. It was already dark when he arrived at her house.He stood at the door and knocked on the door for a long time before he heard Xia Chu ask inside: "Who is it?"

"Brother Xia, it's me, Liu Qi." Liu Qi replied loudly, shaking his head silently.In the past, when he came to Xia Chu, he would open the door without asking. Could it be that he was scared?

Xia Chu opened the door, revealing a gloomy face, Liu Qi shook his head, "Brother Xia, are you okay?"

Xia Chu didn't answer, smiled bitterly and asked Liu Qi to go in, and asked in a muffled voice, "Did your lord ask you to come here?"

"Yes." Liu Qi took out the medicine bottle from his pocket and put it on the table, "Master asked me to deliver the medicine to you, and told you to change it every day, so that the wound wouldn't stick to the cloth."

"Got it." Xia Chu took the medicine bottle in his hand and lowered his eyes to look at it, then put it on the table again.As expected, Jiang Xiyuan didn't show up and sent Liu Qi over.It was she who told him not to come to her, but he really didn't come, and Xia Chu felt a little inexplicably lost.

"I'm causing trouble to my lord." Xia Chu stared at the bottle of medicine, said softly, and lowered his head after speaking, "I'll go to the government office to resign after I rest for two days."

Liu Qi was taken aback by her, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense! Why don't you resign? Before I came out, the young master asked me to tell you, so that you don't think about it, just leave it to him, you just rest Wait. When he can come out, he will come to see you."

Xia Chu bent his lips and smiled, noncommittal.Who can I leave this matter to?Just now it was just the rioters in front of the government office talking nonsense, but now the whole Western capital may know about it.How can I make up for my ruined reputation in the blink of an eye?How to block Yoyo's mouth?Not only himself, but even Jiang Xiyuan was involved here, so he might have to avoid suspicion.

"My lord's kindness..." Xia Chu still whispered, stopped in the middle of speaking, blinked his eyes and raised his head, "Can you come out? What does this mean?"

"Cough!" Liu Qi patted the table, "The young master snatched our old master's warrant and dispatched his own soldiers to the riots in front of the Qing government yamen. Everything at home was blown up, and now the young master is kneeling with the ancestral hall."
