For the rich and noble, the gilded name is no longer enough to be called precious, and it is often ingenious. For example, if the green bamboo is polished, please ask a craftsman to engrave the name on it; For example, the name of the sterling silver flakes...... But these are often used by some high-profile people, and after being sent out, the person who receives them will often return the original items.

After all, if someone can afford to post such a famous post, it must be a high-ranking official and eunuch, but ordinary people dare not accept it casually.

And Zhang Shou sent an invitation this time, not a famous post. The style is simple, just a few lines of words written on the materials of ordinary famous posts. His handwriting has never been very good-looking, although he has not practiced his right-handed calligraphy these days, but he also looks like he is lacking in style, so all six invitations are Zhu Ying volunteered to do it for him, and then Ah Liu went to deliver it in person.

The six families were all guarded by Zhu Tingfang's soldiers of the Rui Cavalry Battalion who "made meritorious contributions", and each family was assigned to sixteen people, not to mention that flies and mosquitoes could fly by, even if they were people, as long as they were agile, they could actually climb over the wall to get in and out.

However, the heavenly power of the imperial court is there, coupled with the example of the eldest prince and Changlu County Ling Xu Cheng in front, even if there are any more grievances and complaints in their hearts, most people dare not make a mistake. Moreover, when they found out that the palace had been invaded and the situation was not good, they had quietly sent a few henchmen and family members outside, and this time the house was besieged, and these people could just come in handy.

Among them, it also includes the old man Jiang who was "justly" not in the mansion when he was besieged the mansion, so he was able to stage a lawsuit against the horse.

When Ah Liu took the token given by Zhu Tingfang and knocked on the door of a house, there was naturally a lot of chickens and dogs jumping inside. But before the person who received the invitation came out, Ah Liu, who was in a hurry to complete the task, couldn't bear it, and handed over the invitation card to the honest and terrified servant at the door one by one.

As for the owner, Master Jiang, who happened to be outside, and escaped the Jiang family who closed the door before, the situation was different. Master Jiang went to stop the horse to complain, so Ah Liu cut off the dagger and carried it back to the county office, but the Jiang family did not know. Not only did he not know it, but there was no news from the head of the house outside, and Jiang Dashao, who replaced his father in charge of housework, naturally accumulated great anxiety and resentment.

So, before Ah Liu, who knocked on the door, said what he meant, Jiang Dashao rushed over when he heard the news. Believing that Ah Liu was just an errand runner, he opened his mouth angrily and scolded: "The heinous ones are those mud legs who are bold, what is the fault of us who are willing to give?" Why did General Mingwei send someone to watch over my house? Do you have to frame our Jiang family? ”

A philanthropic person? Ah Liu raised his eyebrows suddenly, he was originally just indifferent to ordinary people, but the coldness he exuded at this moment increased more than tenfold. He almost didn't think about it, so he dismissed the intention of taking out the invitation immediately, and stepped forward.

At this moment, the pampered Jiang Dashao experienced the biggest nightmare in his life.

He was yelling at Ah Liu, but he was grabbed by the neck of the indifferent young man who suddenly made a move, and pressed directly against the courtyard wall, and the ambition to avenge his father's grievances all turned into panic, and he was so frightened that he almost lost his pants. When he saw Ah Liu reaching into his arms with his free left hand to get something, he thought that someone was going to kill him, and he was even more frightened and begged for mercy again and again.

"The strong man has something to say, I used to have eyes and didn't know Mount Tai, strong man, don't worry about it with me......"

Before he could finish speaking, Ah Liu had already taken out the last invitation card and gently placed it on Jiang Dashao's head, who was trembling like chaff, and then said lightly: "Stand up, don't let things fall." ”

Seeing that Jiang Dashao's body suddenly stiffened, but his back was leaning against the courtyard wall and he didn't dare to move, he bowed his head slightly with satisfaction and said, "Remember to arrive on time." ”

Leaving these words, Ah Liu turned around and left, and the onlookers saw that Jiang Dashao was let go, they didn't know where he came from, and they wanted to show loyalty in front of the young master, so three or five people immediately rushed forward, trying to give this seemingly inconspicuous young man a little color. However, before a few people could touch Ah Liu's clothes, they just screamed a few times.

The onlookers saw these guys who had just been alive lying on the ground and wailing, and Jiang Dashao, who wanted to move, was so frightened that he shivered, and hurriedly raised his hand to hold the thing on his head that he didn't know what it was. But just as he raised his hand, he saw a flash of cold light in front of him, and immediately heard a burst of exclamations around him, and the next moment, he felt that his head was suddenly heavy.

At that moment, Jiang Dashao was so frightened that he was about to fall down when he rolled his eyes, but the whole person was magically upright and couldn't fall! Not only that, but when he was about to pass out, he actually sighed in pain and woke up again.

However, the surrounding family members and servants no longer dared to surround and intercept Ah Liu, and watched the people clapping their hands and walking away, and then hurriedly surrounded Jiang Dashao. I saw that the eldest young master, who was still dancing with his teeth and claws before, had his hair in a bun and the invitation card pierced by an arrow. At this moment, the arrow was piercing the wall, nailing the bun to the wall, and it was no wonder that he was standing.

It wasn't until a brave person comforted Jiang Dashao that he reached out and pulled out the arrow, but it involved Jiang Dashao's scalp, and he could only carefully untie Jiang Dashao's bun, and then he took out the arrow.

Frightened too much at the same time, and for the first time in his life to experience the feeling of being shot by an arrow, Jiang Dashao's trembling strands, it was easy to stand firm under the support of others, he saw a servant carefully take the piece of paper that was shot through, he immediately gritted his teeth with hatred. But he snatched it with his hand, and was about to tear it to pieces, but suddenly stopped his movements a little stiffly.

Just now, he almost caused a big disaster on impulse, and now if he gets into trouble again and his father is not there, then no one will end up for him! The situation is stronger than people, in the past, the family was the richest man in Xicheng, but compared with the Qincha from the capital, it is actually nothing!

When he opened the invitation, Jiang Dashao's hands, which were already trembling slightly, suddenly trembled even more, and the little thought of wanting to find someone to take revenge also flew to Java. But even so, his lips were still trembling, and he still burst out four words.

"Deception...... Great! "The top cover is Qincha Guanfang, but the two words on the payment are written Long Feifeng Dance, he was stunned after careful identification! But even if he didn't know if the person who set up the banquet was Mingwei General Zhu Tingfang, what else could he do?

It doesn't matter if he feels that he is too much deceitful, or if he feels humiliated and unwilling, Jiang Dashao still didn't dare to ignore this invitation sent by others who didn't take the usual path. In the afternoon, he changed his outfit, combed his hair again, and then carefully selected a few majestic, and perhaps handy at the critical moment to the gate.

But as soon as the family opened the door, he saw a black oil carriage that looked unpretentious at first glance parked there, except for the coachman, there were two attendants in front and behind. A pawn of the sharp cavalry battalion who had been ordered to guard the Jiang family greeted him, looked at him coldly, and then said stiffly: "You are invited to the banquet alone, and the rest of the people don't need to be brought." ”

Jiang Dashao was hit all day long, and although he was furious at this time, he still had to force a smile and try to fight: "This military master, I am a little unwell, can't I take two people to serve?" ”

Thinking of the humiliation of being stripped naked and thrown in the underground stone chamber before, the pawns of the Rui Cavalry Battalion saw that these insatiable big families were not pleasing to the eye—although the first thing they hated was those rebellious people, but if it weren't for the complicity of these guys with the Great Prince, how could they be so unlucky? So, the person immediately sneered sadly.

"If you feel unwell, you don't have to go to the county government forcefully, I'll call a doctor for you, and you can lie on the bed."

Jiang Dashao couldn't help but feel a chill on his body, and all the momentum he had finally lifted disappeared cleanly.

He glanced at the family members behind him who didn't dare to say anything, and suddenly felt that it was not enough to take them with him, so he could only smile and express his willingness to leave people at home. But it wasn't until he boarded the carriage, which was so simple that it could be called rudimentary, that he gradually became a little flustered, and for a moment he felt like he was on pins and needles.

Yesterday, when the palace changed greatly, my father was not at home, so he avoided being blocked at home and was in a dilemma. But now that the whereabouts of the father are unknown, the two younger brothers, who have been currying favor in front of the father and trying to share more of the family property, immediately pretended to be sick, but he, the acting head of the family, has to stand up and take responsibility, and he realizes the pressure.

Moreover, just now he played a prestige on the boy who was supposed to be just a subordinate, and he also hit the iron plate.

Now, people say that they are invited to the banquet, but the person who sent the invitation and the guard outside the house are so domineering, do you know if there is no good feast and no good feast, or is it simply a Hongmen banquet? Planning to detain him and his father together and completely destroy the entire Jiang family?

The more Jiang Dashao thought about it, the more pessimistic he became, and the more he thought about it, the more desperate he became. He wanted to open the curtain to see what the street of Cangzhou was like outside, but when he reached out to pull it, the curtain did not move, and when he looked closely, he was even more uneasy. When the carriage finally came to a complete halt and the coachman urged him to get out of the carriage, the handkerchief that wiped the sweat from his forehead was already a little wet.

But even if he was scared, he still had to get out of the car. In the past, this Changlu County Ya, he had to come ten times and eight times a year, and the disciples had known him for a long time, and every time he came forward with a smile on his face, and then thanked Dade for a few rewards that leaked out of his fingers. But at this moment, the two men he was familiar with were standing there solemnly.

In that way, it was a bit similar to the soldiers of the sharp cavalry battalion in front of him...... I don't know if I did it on purpose to show him.

"Jiang Xian's nephew!"

Hearing this voice, Jiang Dashao hurriedly followed the prestige, and saw that Qi Yuanwai, who had always been good friends with his father, Master Jiang, was getting out of another car, and he hurriedly walked a few steps over. Before he could open his mouth to ask, the editor of Qi had already patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and with a look of "I am very optimistic about your junior's posture", and then entered the county office side by side with him.

Seeing that no one followed after entering the door, Qi Yuanwai lowered his voice and said, "Do you know about your father?" Today, the commander of the left battalion of the Rui cavalry battalion arrived in Cangzhou one day late, and your father took a few people who were finally put outside by each family in case of emergency, and went to stop the horse to complain, and the result was ......"

Jiang Dashao only felt that all the hairs on his body were upside down, and he couldn't help but stutter when he spoke: "Knot...... The result? ”

Qi Yuanwai seemed to glance at Jiang Dashao with some pity, and then said in a low voice: "Because Commander Du ignored him, your father couldn't think about it, so he took out a dagger and wanted to commit suicide on the spot to prove his innocence." ”

Seeing that Jiang Dashao took a step back, and seemed to be unable to even stand on his feet, Qi Yuanwai hurriedly stepped forward and dragged the person away, thinking that Lao Tzu was a hero, but he had to comfort him with a pleasant face: "Virtuous nephew, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet!" Fortunately, someone stopped it in time, and your father just fainted in a state of emotion. Now people may still be in this county office, maybe you will see it later. ”

You can't talk all at once! Do you know that it scared me to death just now!

Jiang Dashao was so angry that he almost didn't scold his mother, but in the end he felt that he would live for the rest of his life. If he doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, he actually manages this family for more than a day, but he is exhausted. At first glance, when he heard that his father might kill himself, he almost had a feeling that the sky had fallen. At this moment, no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to speak ill of him, and he had to flatter this nasty old thing.

"Uncle Qi, you also know, I am a junior, and my family used to be the head of my father. At today's banquet, you elders make the decision, and I will follow behind. Hey, now I know that peace is a blessing! ”

Qi Yuanwai smiled, but did not answer, until he saw that there was already a young man with a straight posture, different from those who were on errands, came out to greet him, he coughed lightly, and said word by word: "Although I am a little more informed than you, I dare not say that I understand the situation." I'm afraid that the host of today's banquet is not General Mingwei, in short, everyone is watching and helping each other. ”

What else can Jiang Dashao do? He only nodded his head to express his willingness to join the tail...... Because he didn't follow these treacherous and cunning elders, he didn't know how to face the next scene!

The invitation only said that a banquet would be held in the county office, and did not mention the specific location, and when he followed the taciturn young man all the way to the west, when he saw a building in the other side from a distance, Qi Yuanwai and Jiang Dashao changed their faces together.

The building over there...... Isn't it a county jail? Could it be that they were going to hold a banquet in the prison to entertain them? If that's the case, it means that there is no room for turning around!

However, when they got closer, they found that under the wall of the prison, there was a round table, and several people in the uniform were busy, and when they looked closely, they all recognized them one by one, and they were all familiar faces with whom they had interacted in the past. Except for them, the rest of the guests don't seem to have arrived. Faced with such a strange situation, Jiang Dashao only felt furious in his heart.

"Wouldn't it be that if the talks break down in a while, Qin Cha will directly throw us into prison, right?"

Qi Yuanwai's face is also ugly. He took a deep breath, then lowered his voice and said, "Take one step at a time, if it really doesn't work, then no matter what the conditions, agree to come down first." If you are not afraid of no firewood, you will be slaughtered as a fat sheep, so you will admit it first. ”

Seeing that the young man in front of him who was leading the way had quietly retreated, he suddenly laughed and said, "The imperial history of the capital is not a vegetarian!" ”
