70 Hide from the sky and the sea

Although Yan Bing was still a little dizzy when she first got up, she finally realized that something was wrong when she saw that Sister Shu repeatedly asked to see her nephew and wanted to hug them.

Who is full of food and will come to see the children early in the morning? I didn't have time to look at the things I was thinking about yesterday, so don't I think about things today?

In the stalemate, she suddenly heard the cry of a baby on the east side, Yanjie was overjoyed, and she raised her legs and wanted to go over.

"Stop!" Yan Bing threw the openwork curly moth comb that she was about to wear in her hand onto the dressing table, hurriedly got up and stopped in front of her, raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

As the saying goes, being a mother is strong, no matter how good Yan Bing's heart is, she can't tolerate the idea of someone beating her son, she would rather chase the wind and drink Sister Shu than let the child take a risk.

In the next moment, Yan Bing knew that she was not wrong, because Yan Jie obviously stiffened, revealing a nervous look.

Even the maid saw that something was wrong, and Yaxiang, who wanted to go out with water, quickly reversed back, put down the copper basin and stood beside Yan Bing, faintly revealing a protective posture.

The warm fragrance of the jewelry was even more nervous, and went directly to the door that connected with the main house on the east side, and reached out to clasp the door frame and glared at Yanjie, looking vigilant.

The two sisters stared at each other in a confrontational stance.

After a long time, Yan Bing saw that Sister Shu avoided her gaze and was reluctant to speak, so she simply took the initiative to ask, "Siniang, what do you want to do?" What do you want to do with my son? ”

She was even wondering if Yanjie had lost her son because of her miscarriage, and wanted to blame her because of jealousy. I was in a hurry, so my tone was particularly bad.

Who would have wanted Yanjie to reply: "I don't want to hurt my nephew, I just want to borrow it...... Really, it's borrowed and used! ”

"Borrowed for use? What kind of nonsense is this?! How to use it? Kidnapped and taken out? What is your reason for saying it, why do you have such thoughts? Yan Bing listened to Sister Shu's words, and her scalp was about to explode, so she jumped to her feet and shouted angrily on the spot.

Yanjie showed a look full of grievances, and cried in tears: "I can't Ah Bing, Mao Kunming said that he would return my mother only when he saw your son." ”

"What?! What the hell is going on? After Yan Bing asked again and again, she finally pulled out a crumpled note from Sister Shu's hand, saying that she had thrown it in the courtyard last night and found it this morning.

It is said to be Mao Kunming's handwriting, which is nothing more than the common saying of kidnappers: Your mother is in my hands, and you will exchange Rong Wenyuan's son for it within three days, otherwise you will bear the consequences.

After reading the note, Yan Bing's hands trembled with anger, and she couldn't help but push Yan Jie and scolded: "What is this called?" Your aunt was tied up by him, why should you exchange my son! Although you and I are not mothers, but in my heart I still recognize you as a sister, you say, what have I treated you badly since I entered the door yesterday? You're going to take revenge like this? ”

“…… I'm really sorry, I really can't think about it...... "Yan Jieyuan doesn't want to be ungrateful, and she is already full of entanglement. After being recognized, it was even more unimaginable, so he had to softly pull Yan Bing's sleeve and beg her for forgiveness.

also said that Mao Kunming definitely just wanted Wen Yuan to help him escape from Beijing, and he would not do anything to the child.

Yan Bing felt that she was really so angry that she was so angry that she said speechlessly: "Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?" This kind of nonsense can also be said, who knows if he will go crazy?! ”

"Not only do you have no conscience, but you don't have a brain! Mao Kunming can believe this? It's time for him to drag people on their backs, you don't die one, you go and die a pair. Suddenly, an angry male voice came from outside the window, and the two sisters looked back together, only to see Wen Yuan walking in from the outside, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely in the winter.

Although he opened his mouth to scold Yanjie, he was relieved to see that his son was fine, and after taking a few long breaths, he persuaded Yanbing: "Don't be angry, it's not worth it." Fortunately, the disaster didn't happen, so let's discuss and solve it completely. ”

As soon as she saw Wen Yuan coming back, Yan Bing immediately found her backbone, and she no longer got angry with Yan Jie, and only leaned on her husband's side for comfort.

"It's okay, I'm here," Wen Yuan gently patted her back to reassure, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Show me the note." ”

Wen Yuan took the thing from Yan Bing's hand and looked at it, but found that it was oil paper that was not easy to soak in water, and this thing was rarely used for writing, and he suddenly had some doubts in his heart.

Afterwards, Wen Yuan went to the guest room and the wall to check how the things were handed in, and at this time, Xingyi also rushed over to help.

Through various clues, the two of them judged that the note should have been shot from the big banyan tree next to the fence in the early morning after the curfew was lifted, perhaps with an ice pick, and the ice turned into water at dawn, so they did not see the arrows.

"Didn't someone go straight into the courtyard?" Yanjie was surprised to hear this conclusion.

The maidservant girl was really frightened when she picked up the note and showed it to her, and thought that Mao Kunming had found a ranger who had disappeared without a trace to commit the crime, and handed the note today, if she didn't do it, she might have to kill herself tomorrow.

It turned out that it didn't come in, it was just a false alarm?

"Definitely not," Yan Bing shook her head and said, "Although it is a guest house, there are also mothers-in-law who patrol the night, how can it be so easy to come in and not be noticed." ”

Wen Yuan sneered directly: "If he has the ability to break in directly, why don't he tie up my son and leave?" I still need to threaten you to help. It's just a little trick to scare people. ”

At this moment, he was really happy, because Yan Bing's premature birth was still recovering, and Wen Hengbian went to other places to take up his post, and he couldn't even find a helper, so they still borrowed his adoptive father's house and didn't go back to their hut.

Even if the General's Mansion is a side courtyard, it is more heavily guarded than the residence of few families on his side.

Of course, the layout of the houses here is only clear to Mao Kunming, but this is a problem that cannot be ignored, and we must strengthen our vigilance in the future. There is no need to mention this to Yan Jie, so as to save her another moment.

After returning to the hall from the courtyard, Wen Yuan pointed to the note and asked Yanjie: "There is no address on it, if you really get it, where will you go to hand it over?" ”

"If he wasn't at home, he would have gone to the outroom dwelling." Yeonjie replied almost without thinking.

Then he explained that Mao Kunming was infatuated with a girl in a green house before, and the slut naturally couldn't take the family to live, so he set up a small mansion in Pingkang, which not only housed the woman, but also used it for hospitality.

"Private kiln?" Yan Bing's complexion immediately darkened when she heard this, she didn't expect him to do such a dirty thing, it was really shameless.

"If you want to do big things, it makes sense to use money, power, and beauty to bribe according to the convention." Wen Yuan felt that it was commonplace, and as soon as he said this, he immediately gained several white eyes from his wife.

Yan Bing snorted coldly and asked, "You can't do big things without money, power, beauty, and bribery?" ”

"No, no, of course not. I'm talking about the way he does this kind of undecent person. Wen Yuan pinched his nose and smiled, quickly changed the topic, turned his head to look at Yan Jie, and asked in detail about the address of Mao Kunming's private residence.

After saying hello, he said that he was going to Dali Temple, and maybe he wouldn't be able to come back on time at night, so he looked at Xingyi and asked him to rest for a while and take care of his sisters.

"Okay, no problem." Xingyi immediately hit the package ticket. He was only worth an all-nighter, and according to the custom, he could rest for two days before going on an errand, just in time to accompany his sister.

Seeing that Wen Yuan was about to leave, Yanjie suddenly became anxious, and quickly walked two steps to chase after her, and hurriedly said, "Then what should I do with my aunt?!" ”

"I'm just going to think about arresting Mao Kunming, hoping to capture him smoothly and rescue Aunt Xi." Wen Yuanyi replied in such words.

But he was thinking in his heart, the point was to arrest Mao Kunming, in case he couldn't save someone, he could only count her life bad.

"But don't let him jump over the wall and hurt my aunt, please!" Yan Jie begged Wen Yuan first, but she felt that he would probably be hard-hearted and ignored, so she quickly looked sideways at Yan Bing again, her eyes full of pleading.

Although Yan Bing was still angry with Yan Jie in her heart, she still had a trace of pity for the Xi family, so she immediately looked at her husband and nodded slightly.

"Okay," Wen Yuan saw that his wife also showed a pleading look, and was worried that Yanjie would do something stupid on the spur of the moment, so he had to promise, "If I really can't, I will borrow a baby boy to have an errand with you, and use it as bait to trap Mao Kunming." ”

As soon as Wen Yuan went out, Yan Bing didn't want to be in the same room with Yan Jie's big eyes at all, so she immediately asked her to rest or talk to Yan Qing, and only invited her brother Xingyi to see a pair of young sons.

The brother and sister teased the little baby and said some private words, and then Yan Bing asked Xingyi to go to the guest room to rest, she made a tiger head hat for her son for a while, and took the accounts of the dim sum shop Zhiwei Zhai to kill time.

At dusk, Wen Yuan really didn't go home on time.

The sky is getting darker, and there is goose feather snow again, the north wind is howling and rolling the dead yellow leaves of the treetops in the courtyard, Yan Bing is sitting in the house in thick clothes, and she feels a coolness all around when she looks out.

She sent someone to Dali Temple before curfew, and sent hot chicken soup and fox fur thick hair to Wen Yuan, but the child servant Zhulu pounced, saying that she was going out to run errands.

It is not clear where he went, but this person said with a stammering face: "Go back and ask you General Duan, I see that Rong Shaoqing is walking with a large group of Tiancheng officers and soldiers, and he is in a hurry, probably to arrest people, right?" ”

After Zhulu returned home, she learned this, Yan Bing did not disturb her adoptive father, and guessed that Wen Yuan was probably a capable person who worked hard and was arrested by the King of Chu.

She had to sleep first with her worries.

The next morning, the sky cleared, and the dazzling sunlight shone on the calf-deep snow, dazzling.

When it was time for breakfast, Wen Yuan came home in a hurry, Yan Bing quickly got up to meet her, went to the door and took off her husband's cloak for her husband to shake the snow, and took his hand to sit together.

After touching it, he realized that his hands were so cold that they were freezing.

Yan Bing's heart was distressed, and she immediately babbled and asked, "What did you do at night?" Been out there? How did it freeze like this? Didn't wear the leather gloves you made? ”

"I wore it, probably because I didn't have the time to bake the fire, it's okay, just rub it." Wen Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly.

After taking a seat, he hurriedly drank a few sips of hot porridge, and then began to explain why he did not return all night.

Sure enough, it was arrested because of the rebellion case - Sun Ting, the loyal general of the Tiancheng Army, took people to surround Mao's house and the palace of Dingyue County to raid the house.

Mao Kunming escaped with his life, and no one was found in the two houses. only caught the long Shi Jia Chunzhen and tortured him overnight, but unfortunately he was hard-mouthed, and he couldn't directly point out that the king of Dingyue County was also involved for the time being, and there were also clerical officials who continued to look for clues in the county king's mansion.

As for the definite Mao Kunming, after Wen Yuan finished eating and drinking, he asked Yanjie to talk again, asking her to think about where he might be hiding in the outer house of Pingkangli.

"It's gone...... Could it be that he has already escaped from the capital? Yanjie shook her head, and was a little dazed for a while.

Wen Yuan shook his head and said, "Martial law was imposed on the same day, although it was not wanted, but there were greetings at the city gates everywhere. If he wants to escape, why should he ask you to kidnap young children? ”

Yan Bing, who has many years of experience in watching detective films, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked a question: "Have you looked for relatives and friends?" ”

"I've found it, I've been tossing this all night." The rebellion involves the nine clans, how can you let your relatives go? Wen Yuan sighed, and then always felt that there must be something that Yan Jie knew that had been missed, and looked at her again and asked again and again.

"If you don't know, where will you send the kidnapped?" This is quite reasonable, and Yanjie is speechless.

After racking her brains, Yan Bing suddenly thought that she knew Mao Kunming at first because of the disgusting Bala case, and immediately asked loudly: "Does his grandfather's family have a place to live in the city?" ”

"Silk shop!" Wen Yuan and Yan Jie almost came to the conclusion in unison.

The shop located on the corner of the West Market has three floors, which is condescending and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are other silk embroidery villages around which the powerful have invested in it, and they cannot be caught by fire or oil, and they cannot be forcibly rounded up at will.

"This is a great place!" Wen Yuan snorted coldly, and had to choose the most troublesome method, trapping.

He turned around and went to Shantang, and after selecting, he borrowed a baby boy who was abandoned at birth, and handed it to Yan Bing to dress up with his own clothes.

Because a pair of sons in the family were born prematurely, although they were full of moon, they were not much older than ordinary newborns, and it was decent to change the clothes of the baby boy, and then bring another similar peace lock that the king of Chu had found, which could almost be confused with the real.

The only problem is that Yan Bing is a little soft-hearted, looking at the stand-in and uncomfortable: "I am reluctant to let my son be a hostage, but I still feel cruel to others...... You say, is there a good chance that he will survive? ”

"This kid was born without a grain path, and he won't live for a few days, if he goes, let's do a good Dharma for him." Wen Yuan had already considered life and death when he chose people, and it was impossible for him to allow himself to be poked in the back and scolded for being "cold-blooded and cold", even if it was true.

“…… Yes? How is that...... That, okay, at least one saved counts as one. Yan Bing looked at the child with a look of surprise, which meant that he was suffering from anal atresia and really couldn't survive without surgery.

"Okay, now the question is, how should the play be played?" After Wen Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Yanjie.

After looking up and down, he asked, "Are you sure that you will send the child without revealing any flaws?" Can you calmly mediate with Mao Kunming and induce him to go to the window and door alone? Or be more eloquent and persuade him to let you go? ”

Maybe you'll have to convince him to let you go?

Yan Bing also looked at her sister-in-law, her eyes full of sympathy. She always felt that even with this child who could get away with it, the task would not be easy, and it seemed that there were death traps everywhere.
