Lin Lian and Yi took a nap on the bed, put the waist knife in his hand, listened to the noise outside, Zhenyi sat up, heard Zhao Qinmin and his wife talking in a low voice under the eaves of the porch outside, and knew that he and his wife couldn't sleep; I'm afraid that if Wang Xueshan doesn't fall for a day, they won't be at ease for a day.

Lin Jian stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, then walked out in full clothes, didn't bother to wash, greeted Zhao Qinmin and his wife, and went to the front yard. The sky is dark, only a few stars are still hanging in the night sky and flickering, and in another hour, Donghua Gate will open charcoal trucks, grain trucks and so on into the city.

It was a matter of his family's life, and Zhao Qinmin couldn't care whether he exceeded it or not, so he followed Lin Jian to the front yard to see the preparations.

Zhou Pu sat at the foot of the wall next to the weeping flower hall with his eyes closed, Lin Lian and Zhao Qinmin walked over, he opened his eyes and looked at it, didn't say anything, and closed his eyes again. Lin Jian knew that Zhou Pu had just been replaced and rested not long ago, so he wanted him to save up his energy before setting off, so he didn't bother him. In the enclosure behind the ear room, the occasional nasal sound came, and the carriage was also ready: Liu Yue'er, Xiaoman and Zhao Qinmin's two daughters sat in a carriage, and Zhao Qinmin and his wife took care of Zhao Jin with a broken leg in another carriage. After another half an hour, everyone got up to wash up and eat, and prepared to leave the dustpan alley and go out of the city.

Liu Yue'er closed her eyes and rested for a while at night, and when she rested, she was also sleepy, barely yawning. Xiao Man woke up from a nightmare and fell asleep, and walked out of the backyard, his little face was bright and bright under the light, his eyes were clear, and he was a little embarrassed after all, so he followed Lin Lian's side and didn't separate until he got into the carriage.

Zhao Qinmin is a talent, but he has been a staff member for Wang Xueshan for eight years, although he is not the most cronies, and his reputation in Jiangning City is also extremely high, and the power he once held is even greater than that of the soldiers and Lingshi in the yamen of Jiangning Mansion, but his power comes from the public power and private delegation of Yin Wang Xueshan of Jiangning Mansion, once he is separated from Wang Xueshan, he becomes worthless again.

Zhao Qinmin was also stunned when he saw Xiao Man coming out of the backyard, he recognized the maid beside Su Mei, and also heard that Wang Xueshan's son Wang Chao had negotiated with the young lord of the feudal mansion, Fan Zhimei, to redeem her as a concubine, but he never thought that she would appear here and go out of the city with them, and he only then understood what Lin Jian did after separating from them last night.

If you just go to redeem yourself, Bai Yuan will be separated from this side by a house, Lin Jian didn't need to leave for so long at the emergency moment last night, maybe just send someone over to pick up the girl. Of course, Fan Zhimei agreed to Wang Chao, and besides, he had a deep grudge with Lin Lian, and it was impossible for him to let Lin Lian redeem him easily.

Zhao Qinmin was very curious about what Lin Jian had done after separating from him last night, and why did the clan agree to him taking people away?

Yang Pu didn't recognize Xiaoman, but he heard Gu Siyuan talk about it yesterday, and when he saw such a beautiful girl coming out, he naturally understood what was going on, and he was also curious about how Lin Jian could redeem people from the hands of the feudal family.

When the gate of Donghua Gate opened, Lin Jian saw that the crow Wu Qi had not yet come back to report the news, so he knew that Wang Xueshan had not yet found out about Zhao Qinmin's night investment in Gu Zhai, and said to Yang Pu and Zhao Qinmin: "Let's go......

*********

Who would have thought that Wang Xueshan, who had an excuse to go back to the room to think of a good plan, was sleeping in the soft and fragrant quilt with his concubine in his arms at this time, while Dongcheng Wei Chen Zhi, Hu Cao Shuling Zhou Tai and Guangtai Pawnshop Cai Dong Zhao Qigui sat in the hall and kept watch all night.

Chen Zhi is better, after all, he is his wife's nephew, he has no blood relationship with him, and he is not very close, if he is not afraid of scratching his face with his old wife's sharp nails like saws, he also wants to go back to sleep, looking at the glimmer of the window, seeing that it is dawn, and said: "There is no news from the prison in the city, I am afraid that it is really as Mr. Zhao said, Gu Wuchen does not have the courage to kill." ”

Chen Zhi's mind is relaxed, but Zhou Tai and Zhao Qigui are in a completely different mood, although they are not only children, after all, they are relatives and flesh and blood, and they sat worried all night, which was very tormenting. There is no news from the prison in the city, it is the prison in the city to Gu Wuchen's cronies to lead the arrest and cavalry blockade, before midnight Gu Wuchen's other cronies also led a team in and out of the city prison, I don't know the good fortune and misfortune, they are worried, they don't dare to bet lightly Gu Wuchen has the courage to kill, in high positions, how many of them are not full of blood?

"Do you want to bring Mr. Zhao here to discuss it again?" Zhou Tai asked, this midnight passed, Zhao Qinmin never returned, Zhou Tai thought to himself that he was really calm, he and Zhao Qigui were not only sons, Zhao Qinmin was the only son to be imprisoned in the city. Wang Chao is nowhere to be seen, it's better that he is still nowhere to be seen, this disaster is not all caused by him, but he has not caused the slightest right or wrong.

"Let's go find Mr. Zhao." Zhao Qigui couldn't sit still, thinking that Zhao Qinmin could make up his mind, he went to the east courtyard with Chen Zhi and Zhou Tai to find Zhao Qinmin, and called the old servant in the east courtyard to open the door, only to know that Zhao Qinmin did not return overnight after leaving the house last night, and then asked the maid to call Zhao Qinmin's wife, only to find that Zhao Qinmin's family left quietly last night. The old servant and the maid did not enter the main house, and no one else came to Zhao Qinmin, so naturally they did not notice it.

"Fuck it," Chen Zhi was not a stupid person, he thought about why Zhao Qinmin's family disappeared, and hurriedly returned to the inner hall with Zhou Tai and Zhao Qigui to find Wang Xueshan, "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, Zhao Qinmin's dog \/ Mother raised him to go to Gu Wuchen......" They also ignored the obstruction of the maid and the mother-in-law and went straight to Wang Xueshan's inner room. They only sat in the inner room to plan and strategize, and when they saw Wang Xueshan's concubine's snow-white shoulders exposed outside the brocade quilt, they instantly understood: Wang Xueshan, a brute, didn't take them seriously to the family members who were imprisoned in the city at all.

Wang Xueshan slept in a daze, didn't hear what Chen Zhi was shouting clearly, opened his eyes and saw them break into the inner room unruly, and looked at most of his concubine's shoulders in his eyes in vain, annoyed in his heart, and scolded angrily: "Do you understand the rules? Get out! ”

Zhou Tai, Zhao Qigui, and Chen Zhijiu were outside of Wang Xueshan's obscenity, and although they were resentful, they didn't dare to vent and retreated.

"What's the fuss?" Wang Xueshan only got up and dressed in the house at this time, and he also felt that he couldn't hide back to sleep at night and couldn't live for the three people outside, so his tone eased.

"Zhao Qinmin disappeared after leaving last night, and his wife and daughter have disappeared...... Chen Zhi replied outside.

"What!" Wang Xueshan heard Chen Zhi's words, rushed out of the inner room, put on an open robe, and showed most of his hairy legs, kicked the copper basin with a clang, grabbed Chen Zhi's neckline, and asked sharply, "What did you say?" ”

"Zhao Qinmin may have gone to Gu Wu......chen at night," Chen Zhi said.

There was a big commotion here, and the guards outside poured out, Wang Xueshan still didn't believe that Zhao Qinmin would betray him, he watched the guards come in, and said loudly: "Go to the East Courtyard and call Zhao Qinmin to me." I treat him like a mountain, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't be a fart, and he wouldn't have betrayed me. ”

Zhou Tai and Zhao Qigui were resentful in their hearts, and they all thought in their hearts: Zhao Qinmin is also loyal to Wang Xueshan, but the only son who framed Wang Xueshan's political enemies and imprisoned him will die. Although they hated in their hearts, they didn't dare to express it, and they watched the hall be busy, and only stood aside and kept silent.

The old servant of the East Courtyard was found to make sure that Zhao Qinmin's family left quietly last night, Wang Xueshan kicked the old servant in the chest, and rolled the old servant through the corridor and fell into the atrium on the threshold without standing up for half a day, Wang Xueshan scolded in his mouth: "Even if you raise a dog, you know how to bark twice, raise your old bullshit, drag it out, and beat it with thirty sticks......"

Everyone knows that the old servant's life is not guaranteed after another thirty sticks, but Wang Xueshan was angry, and no one dared to intercede, watching the old servant cry out miserably and drag it down.

Wang Xueshan's other staff members also rushed together, and his son Wang Chao was also alarmed and rushed over. Wang Xueshan was in a hurry in the hall, and one thought after another poured out in his heart, but it was completely useless, pampered and pampered all these years, although he has been spending time in deceit, but today's danger has only encountered the first time, which made Wang Xueshan completely confused, and the idea of mobilizing people to kill Gu Mansion has risen several times.

"Mr. Ma is back......" someone outside the courtyard shouted excitedly, and he heard a chaotic footstep coming from the middle of the yard.

"Wei Han, it's good for you to come back," Wang Xueshan heard that his chief staff rushed back from Tuzhou overnight, and immediately came back to his senses as if he had taken a dose of sobering medicine, and hurriedly walked down the hall to greet him, half-hugging and half-hugging the middle-aged scribe who walked into the courtyard to pay homage, and said, "I'm panicked, I hope you can come back and make up your mind for me, Zhao Qinmin, that brute, went to Gu Wuchen......"

"When I received a report from the adults in Tuzhou, I was worried about the problem here," Ma Weihan said, "I didn't sleep at night, and four horses ran to death, and I drove the West Water Gate into the city." Entering the door of the house, Steward Wang told me a little about the matter, there is no need to be too flustered in this matter...... "Ma Weihan said this, twisting his fine beard under his chin, but his eyes glanced at Chen Zhi, Zhou Tai, Zhao Qigui and others, Wang Xueshan saved Zhao Qinmin from betraying him, and the three people in front of him could also betray him, he said in a deep voice: "You go to the West Courtyard to rest first......" and gave the left and right guards a look, and took care of the three of them, and would rather kill them all, if one of them really went to Gu Wuchen, it would really be a catastrophe.

Wang Xueshan, Wang Chao, Ma Weihan and three other cronies were left in the hall.

"There are a few things to do right now," Ma Weihan said, "One thing is to immediately fabricate charges to arrest Zhao Qinmin's family, and pour as much sewage on him as possible, if he is willing to treat Gu Wuchen as a dog to bite the adult, we can also have a reason to fight back; This matter can be done by Chen Zhi, I know his character, he will never abandon his current glory and wealth for the life of his nephew, and Gu Wuchen has no bargaining chips to pull him over. One thing is to cover up as many things as Zhao Qinmin knows, so that Zhao Qinmin's confession cannot be found to be substantiated as much as possible; Trouble the king's steward to do this. At this time, most of Zhao Qinmin's family was hiding in Gu's house, if Zhao Qinmin didn't appear, if he dared to show his head, he should be removed as much as possible, there was no witness, and all documentary evidence could be said to be forged by Gu Wuchen to attack the adult; Chu Dutou is responsible for this matter, but he needs to be careful not to hurt Gu Wuchen. There is also to use the silver to bribe Zhou Yifu, the official of Chuantang, and ask him to delay Gu Wuchen's recital into Beijing as much as possible; Your Excellency, please prepare all the jewels and jade treasures, I will bring them into Beijing immediately, and be sure that after Gu Wuchen enters Beijing, there will be people in the court who stand up to speak for your lordship," Speaking of this, Ma Weihan paused slightly, and then said, "Of course, Gu Wuchen may not want to let your lord step down......"

"He doesn't want to take me down, what does he want to do?" Wang Xueshan asked, he didn't dare to assassinate Gu Wuchen in Jiangning, even if he succeeded, he, the Yin of Jiangning Mansion, would have to be demoted to him, once he missed, the Wang family would fall into a state of no return.

"If Gu Wuchen is more conducive to him gaining a foothold in Jiangning, he will naturally not hesitate to bring down the adult," Ma Weihan said, "If it is more beneficial for him to gain a foothold in Jiangning if he doesn't bring down the adult, he will naturally not hesitate to keep the adult." ”

"How can I be controlled by this shaft!" Wang Xueshan roared angrily.

"Han Xin can be humiliated by his crotch, why can't your lord temporarily bow his head and delay the army?" Ma Weihan persuaded, "My lord, time is not in our favor. No matter what we do, we need time, adults endure the humiliation for a while, once our side is properly deployed, and then wait for the opportunity to get rid of Zhao Qinmin's family, adults will naturally no longer have to be controlled by him......"

Wang Xueshan frowned and thought for a long time before he said word by word: "Okay, and bear with him for a while." ”

"Chen Zhishang is available, even if the sons of Zhou Tai and Chen Qigui carry their bodies out of the city prison, they may be bribed by others, so they must be guarded against." Ma Weihan said.

"That one will be thrown into prison according to the charge." Wang Xueshan said that there is also a prison under Jiangning Mansion.

"There's no need for this, just change someone else to take over the matter at hand," Ma Weihan was a little sad after all, and wanted to leave a way for Zhou Tai and Zhao Qigui to live, and said, "Zhou Tai and Zhao Qigui don't know too many things. ”

"No, you can't make a wrong move." Wang Xueshan was originally a mean and ungrateful person, and with Zhao Qinmin's experience, he would rather miss a thousand than let go of one, and categorically decided to put Zhou Tai and Zhao Qigui in prison to control.

Ma Weihan and the others couldn't be persuaded when they saw it, so they followed Wang Xueshan's intentions to order.

"Let someone invite Zhang Wendeng over, call Chen Zhixian over, and ask him and the other captains of the three cities to immediately arrest Zhao Qinmin's family in the whole city." Wang Xueshan said again, he is the Yin of Jiangning Mansion who has a monopoly on power, although the Soldiers and Horses Division of Jiangning Mansion belongs to the left and right Sikou to join the army, but the left and right Sikou are only subordinate officials of Jiangning Mansion, in fact, there are very few bargaining chips against the chief officer, Wang Xueshan can directly mobilize the soldiers and horses of the four captains of the Soldiers and Horses Division, and call Zhang Wendeng, the right Sikou, just in response to the scene.
