Chapter 255: The Tree Wants to Be Quiet but the Wind Doesn't Stop
Xu Jin returned to the back hall of the county ya, but as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Zhou Heng, the chief housekeeper of the Fei Mansion, walking back and forth with an anxious expression, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "Why is Steward Zhou here?" ”
Steward Zhou hurriedly greeted him: "Young Master Xu, you are finally back, quickly find a way to save the third lady." ”
Xu Jin chuckled in his heart and hurriedly said, "Steward Zhou, don't worry, let's talk about what's going on first?" ”
Steward Zhou said with an angry face: "Zhang Zhong's eunuch sent someone to Leadshan County to arrest the third lady, and now she is locked up in the prison of the palace, the old man and the third master are not at home, and now the house is in a mess, and the young master Maoxue is clamoring to see his mother, and he has fallen ill, and the fourth girl is also washing her face with tears all day long." ”
After all, King Ning's rebellion is a major crime to exterminate the nine clans, and Lou Suzhen is the concubine of King Ning, so the Shangrao Lou family will definitely not be able to escape. Although Wang Shouren has a bit of a relationship with the Lou family (a student of the great Confucian Lou Liang), he did not dare to show favoritism in this matter, so the Lou family was on the list of the first batch of people who were raided. The main members of the Lou family have long been arrested, including Lou Wei, the head of Xinjiang Academy.
However, for Fei Cai's wife Lou Suqin, Wang Shouren opened the net, and did not send someone to arrest him for the time being, but planned to take advantage of the opportunity to escort the captives to the north, and then write to the Son of Heaven to intercede, hoping to pardon the Lou family, after all, the Lou family did not participate in King Ning's rebellion.
During this time, Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai, in order to make meritorious contributions and defraud money, under the guise of catching thieves, constantly expanded their involvement, but anyone who had something to do with Ning Wangfu was arrested, and even if it didn't matter, they fabricated a relationship for you. The group of scholars who wrote a birthday poem to King Ning were arrested, and in the end they could only break their wealth and prevent disasters, and those who had no money could only consider themselves unlucky.
Not long ago, Zhang Zhong suddenly found out that a married daughter of the Lou family (Lou Suqin) was not arrested, so he immediately sent someone to the Fei family in Leadshan County to arrest someone, this is the sister-in-law of King Ning, so Zhang Gonggong was caught confidently, and he didn't put Fei Ge Lao of Zhishi in his eyes.
When the people sent by Zhang Zhong arrived at Fei's house, Fei Hong and Fei Cai happened to be absent, and they both went to Yuyao, Zhejiang to attend Sun Sui's funeral. Because two months ago, the Sun family sent someone to help Sun Sui's coffin return to his hometown for burial, and recently the cemetery was completed to prepare for the funeral.
The two men in charge of the Fei family were not there, and the people sent by Zhang Zhong were even more unscrupulous, and they rushed directly into the mansion to arrest Fei Cai's wife Lou Suqin, and then put them in a prisoner car and escorted them back to Nanchang. Finally, these people still have some scruples about the Fei family's family situation, and Lou Suqin did not suffer much along the way, and allowed a maid to follow and serve.
After listening to Steward Zhou's story, Xu Jin's sword eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle deeply, and he said in a deep voice: "Steward Zhou, are you the only one coming?" ”
Zhou Heng shook his head and said: "That's not it, Young Master Maoxian, the third girl, and the fourth girl are all here, Young Master Maoxian has already gone to Lord Wu for help, and the third girl and the fourth girl are all in the house!" ”
Hearing this, Xu Jin hurriedly walked to the house, and sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he saw all the girls sitting in the hall, Xie Xiaowan and Fei Ruyi were comforting Fei Jixiang, the latter cried so much that his eyes were swollen like walnuts, and the beautiful girl looked very haggard.
"The master is back!" When Yue'er saw Xu Jin walking in, she immediately shouted happily.
"Xianggong!"
"Xu Gongzi!"
Xie Xiaowan and Fei Ruyi stood up together, the two pairs of beautiful eyes looked at each other, Fei Jixiang lowered his head a little embarrassed, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, obviously knowing that his current image was a little embarrassing.
Although Fei Ruyi is dusty, her pretty face is still so beautiful and moving, her clear and clear beautiful eyes are a little melancholy, but more earnest, and a little resentful, it has been months since they were separated in the blink of an eye, during which the two only exchanged letters.
"Xianggong, that eunuch Zhang sent someone to arrest Sister Jixiang's mother, you can find a way to help Sister Jixiang!" Xie Xiaowan grabbed Xu Jin's arm and said coquettishly.
Obviously, in Xie Xiaowan's eyes, her father-in-law is omnipotent.
Xu Jin nodded, stretched out his hand and gently shook Fei Ruyi's soft wattle, and comforted: "Ruyi, auspicious girl, you are tired from coming from afar, go to freshen up and rest first, and stay here temporarily tonight." I'll find a way to get Grandpa Zhang to release him, don't worry, it'll be fine! ”
Fei Ruyi's heart was sweet, and she nodded slightly with a red face.
For some reason, after listening to Xu Jin's words, Fei Jixiang's originally frightened heart inexplicably calmed down, perhaps because Xu Jin saved the Fei family from danger several times, and stood up and blessed Xu Jin: "Thank you, Young Master Xu!" ”
Next, Xie Xiaowan arranged a room for the two girls to stay and freshen up.
Xu Jin muttered alone in the hall for a while, called Erniu and Dabao, and hurriedly left the county office, and went straight to the yamen of the prosecutorial envoy. However, when Xu Jin asked to see Wu Wending, he was told that Wu Wending had gone to King Ning's Mansion with Fei Maoxian.
Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly scream badly, it was obvious that Wu Wending must have taken Fei Maoxian to negotiate with Zhang Zhong, and Wu Wending was too upright, and he had bluntly scolded Zhang Zhong as a thief before, and during this time, Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai were misbehaving in Nanchang, and Wu Wending had several conflicts with them. It is conceivable that Wu Wending is now running to negotiate with Zhang Zhong, I am afraid that he will not be able to save people, and it will even backfire.
Sure enough, when Xu Jin arrived outside King Ning's mansion, he happened to meet Wu Wending and Fei Maoxian who were kicked out, the former was so angry that he had to open his hair, and Fei Maoxian was also worried and helpless.
Xu Jin hurriedly greeted him, bowed and said, "Xiaguan has seen Master Wu!" ”
When Fei Maoxian saw Xu Jin, he said happily: "Ziqian, why are you here?" ”
Xu Jin nodded and said, "Steward Zhou told me just now, so come and see, Minxian, how is the situation now?" ”
Fei Maoxian sighed, shook his head and said, "Zhang Zhong refuses to let go!" ”
Wu Wending coughed lightly a little embarrassed, he had a grudge against Zhang Zhong, this time he cheekily came to negotiate with Zhang Zhong, originally out of good intentions, but he couldn't stand Eunuch Zhang's yin and yang all the time, as a result, the two quarreled without saying a few words, and finally they were called out by Eunuch Zhang, which didn't help, but made it worse, so he was a little reluctant to go, and comforted: "Don't worry about the nephew of the people, Lord Futai is estimated to return to Nanchang in a few days, and let Lord Futai come forward then, Zhang Zhong's eunuch naturally let him go. ”
Fei Maoxian nodded helplessly, and at the same time regretted a little, he knew that Wu Wending was so uncomposed, he shouldn't have come to him.
