Xie Erjian jumped into the courtyard lightly, and was about to touch the backyard under the cover of night, but a figure just came out of a dense osmanthus tree, this person was also sneaky, and happened to collide with Xie Erjian.

Xie Erjian was taken aback, and quickly covered this person's mouth with his hand and dragged him behind the osmanthus tree. The man struggled desperately with fright, and let out a low cry in his throat.

Xie Erjian was wondering why this person was fluttering, his body was very soft, and when he looked carefully in the dark, he found that it was a little girl, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and asked in a cold voice: "Which room is Xu Jin in?" ”

The girl was still trembling with fear, but when she heard the words, she calmed down, raised the ball of things in her hand, and let out two low whimpers in her mouth.

Xie Erjian was slightly stunned, one hand continued to cover Yahuan's mouth, and the other hand took the ball of things, and found that it was a ball of paper.

At this moment, two slaves came this way with lanterns, and Xie Erjian hurriedly pressed it on Yahuan's neck, and the latter fainted on the spot.

The two slaves passed by the osmanthus tree with lanterns, came straight to the courtyard gate, and shouted outside through the door: "Xu Gongzi has slept peacefully, let you go back, and I will talk about it tomorrow." ”

After the two servants shouted, they ignored the Fei brothers outside and banged on the door vigorously, and walked away with lanterns. Xie Erjian opened the paper ball with the faint light of the lantern and looked at it, and found that there was a line of words written on it, and he immediately frowned, because he didn't know words.

As the two servants walked away, it was dark again, Xie Erjian hesitated, touched the courtyard wall, jumped on the wall and flipped out.

The Fei family brothers were a little surprised to see Xie Erjian come out so quickly, and hurriedly surrounded him, and asked anxiously: "Brother Xie, have you found Ziqian?" ”

Xie Erjian shook his head, handed the ball of paper to Fei Maoxian, and said, "Look at what is written on it!" ”

Fei Maoxian opened the paper ball suspiciously, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Xie, who gave you this note?" ”

Xie Erjian recounted what had happened, and asked uneasily: "What's the matter, is there something wrong with my brother-in-law?" ”

Fei Maozhong nodded solemnly and said, "The note said that Ziqian was arrested into the palace by the guards of King Ning's son. ”

"What!" Xie Erjian's face changed suddenly, and he turned around and ran towards the south of the city.

"Brother Xie...... Don't be impulsive! Fei Maoxian wanted to stop Xie Erjian, but unfortunately the latter had already disappeared.

Fei Maoxian couldn't help but be anxious, Ning Wangfu was not the home of ordinary people, it was heavily guarded, if Xie Erjian sneaked into the palace and was discovered, he was afraid that he would be killed on the spot as an assassin.

"Zhao Xing, you hurry up and catch up, be sure to stop the Xie family brothers, eldest brother, let's go to the governor's yamen to find Lord Sun for help." Fei Mao said in a deep voice.

If Xu Jinzhen was caught by King Ning's prince and brought to King Ning's mansion, I am afraid that only Sun Sui has the ability to rescue him, but I hope that Governor Sun has returned to the city after inspecting Jiangfang.

So, Zhao Xing and Erniu hurriedly chased after Xie Erjian, while the two brothers of the Fei family took advantage of the curfew and rushed all the way to the governor's yamen in the north of the city.

It is said that the Yahuan who was stunned by Xie Erjian under the osmanthus tree is Wang Cuiqiao's Yahuan Qiuyan, this afternoon I saw Xu Jin kidnapped by the guards of Ning Wangfu, and she was so frightened that she lost her soul all afternoon.

Wang Cuiqiao was taken aback when she heard this, she was naturally a woman in a green building who didn't dare to get involved in the affairs of Ning Wang Shizi, but she still had a good impression of Xu Jin, a young and old scholar, so when she learned that someone came to look for Xu Jin, she hesitated for a while, and secretly wrote a note, originally wanting Qiu Yan to secretly throw it out of the wall, but who knew that she met Xie Erjian who came in over the wall halfway.

Fortunately, Xie Erjian's hand is not heavy, and Qiu Yan is estimated to wake up in about half an hour, otherwise it is possible to fall ill after lying under the osmanthus tree for a night of dew.

……

In the prison of King Ning's mansion, the light is getting dimer and dimer, someone has hung an oil lamp on the wall at the entrance of the cell, Xu Jin estimates that it is already dark outside, and his mood can't help but become a little anxious, plus he only drank a few glasses of wine from Xiao Yuxue before, and he is already hungry at this time, and he has not seen anyone send prison food yet, so it is estimated that he will not want to eat tonight.

"What's your name and why are they arresting you?" A slightly hoarse voice sounded suddenly, and it seemed particularly hollow in the silence of the cell.

Xu Jin looked at the next door of the iron fence, and the person who spoke was the middle-aged man who was locked up next door, and he heard the prince of Ning Wang say that this was Song Yifang, the prefect of Nanchang. It can be seen how arrogant King Ning is, and the magistrate of Zhengsipin was actually imprisoned by him.

Now it's hard to protect himself, so Xu Jin has been ignoring the prefect, and the Song prefect has been observing Xu Jin coldly, and finally couldn't help but talk to him first.

Xu Jin arched his hand and said: "Xu Jin, an examinee in Shangrao County, Xiaguangxin Mansion, once offended the prince of King Ning, so he was arrested and locked in, but your Excellency is Lord Song of Nanchang Prefect?" ”

Song Yifang laughed at himself: "Now I'm just a prisoner!" ”

Song Yifang is about forty years old, with a straight nose and a square mouth, although he is locked up in prison, but his body looks quite clean, and there is a bed table and even a coffee table in the cell where he is located, and it seems that he has not been abused inhumanely.

Song Yifang asked with interest: "Xu Jin, you are just a scholar, how did you offend the prince of King Ning?" ”

Xu Jin smiled and said, "If I stepped on his face a few times, would Lord Song believe it?" ”

Song Yifang was stunned for a moment, and said lightly: "Then you are quite lucky to have survived until now." ”

Listening to the tone, Song Yifang obviously didn't believe it, no wonder, not to mention a little scholar, even if he was also the prince of the vassal king, I am afraid that few would dare to step on the face of King Ning, not to mention the violence of King Ning, if anyone dared to step on his face, I am afraid that he would be dismantled on the spot.

Xu Jin didn't explain, but asked, "The student took the liberty of asking, how did Master Song get caught here?" ”

"Knowing something you shouldn't know, and doing something you should have done, that's all!" Song Yifang said lightly and then kept silent, obviously feeling that Xu Jin's words were not credible, so he was not interested in talking about it further.

Xu Jin could naturally feel that Song Yifang was very wary, but at this time he was not in the mood to idle with Song Yifang, so he walked to the corner and sat down next to the wall, although he was not worried about his life, but it was also very annoying to miss this hospital exam, not to mention the gambling contract with the patriarch.

Although he felt that it was impossible, at this time, Xu Jin really hoped that his second brother-in-law could come down from the sky to save him.

The two sides were silent for a moment, Song Yifang glanced at Xu Jin, who was next to the wall and closed his eyes to recuperate, and couldn't help but ask again: "King Ning said that Sun Sui supported you, could it be that you know Governor Sun?" ”

Xu Jin opened his eyes and said, "It's considered to be an acquaintance, Fei Ge Lao is in the lower sect!" ”

Song Yifang's eyes flashed, and he said happily: "I see, Governor Sun is indeed good friends with Fei Ge Lao, why didn't you say it earlier if you are Fei Ge Lao's protégé." ”

Xu Jin shrugged and said, "Lord Song didn't ask either. ”

Song Yifang coughed awkwardly, moved a stool to the side of the iron fence, and asked in a low voice: "By the way, you just said that you stepped on the face of King Ning's prince, what is going on?" ”

Song Yifang heard that Xu Jin was actually Fei Hong's protégé, and now the entire officialdom circle knew that Fei Hong and Ning Wangfu were on a close to, so Song Governor's attitude towards Xu Jin immediately became enthusiastic.

Xu Jin's heart moved, walked to the iron fence and sat down, and briefly said some of the things that happened in Shangrao County.

After listening to this, Song Yifang stroked his beard excitedly and said: "Okay, great, Governor Sun is upright and upright, and he swept away the lead mountain bandits by means of wind and thunder, hoping that Lord Sun can save the people of Jiangxi from the dire situation." ”

"There's a fart, should King Ning be against it!" Xu Jin said in his heart.

Song Yifang looked at Xu Jin approvingly: "Xu Ziqian, you are a scholar who is not afraid of power, but it is very rare, it doesn't matter if you miss the college exam this time, the next year will be the exam, if the old man is lucky enough to go out, he will testify for you." ”

Xu Jin smiled bitterly: "I have thanked Lord Song for his kindness first." ”

At this moment, the iron door of the prison clattered open, and two palace guards walked in, followed by a maidservant carrying a food box.

"Fluttershy stumbles, it's dimly lit!"

This servant girl was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and she seemed to have a good status, and the two palace guards were accompanied by a smile when they talked to her.

Song Yifang also stood up when he saw the maidservant and smiled, "Miss Fluttershy! ”

"Lord Song, the slave maid has something to do today, so it's too late to deliver the meal!" The maidservant came to the iron fence and said apologetically.

Song Yifang smiled and said, "It's okay, thank the princess for her kindness!" ”

The maidservant asked the iron gate of the cell to be opened, and then carried the food box into Song Yifang's cell, and quickly laid out the food on the table.

Three meats, one vegetarian soup, a bowl of white rice, and a pot of wine, this food can be said to be quite good. Xu Jin smelled the aroma of the food wafting over, and his stomach rumbled uncontrollably.

The maidservant obviously heard it, looked at Xu Jin next door, and found that it was a young scholar, so she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and asked, "Who are you?" How did you get locked up? ”

Song Yifang hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "Miss Xiaodie, this is from Shangrao County, Guangxin Mansion came to Nanchang to take the exam, because a little thing offended Prince Ning, so he was imprisoned, he has to take the hospital exam tomorrow, can Miss Xiaodie ask the princess for a favor and let him go, after all, it is not easy to study hard for ten years, and if you miss this college exam, you will have to wait for the year after next." ”

The maidservant nodded abruptly and said, "Oh, I'll mention it to the princess when I go back!" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be overjoyed, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, and he arched his hand and said, "Shangrao Confucian Xu Jin, thank you Sister Fluttershy first!" ”

The maidservant chuckled and said, "It's a clever little scholar, but don't be too happy, I don't dare to let you go." ”
