Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

() "Let's go and have a look. Let's leave it to No. [-] of Group A." Although Ximen Qing felt strange, seeing is believing, so he had to go and see.

Next, Ximen Qing asked, "Is there anyone in the Kaifeng prison?"

"Yes." No. 26 of Group A immediately guessed Ximen Qing's thoughts: "There is a Jie-level surnamed Shi, who belongs to us."

"Okay! You pass the news here to Mr. Qian. Don't disclose it to Tan Goudang." Ximen Qing nodded and said: "Let's not go to Kaifeng Mansion, let's go to the prison first!"

No. 26 of Group A also knew that the middle was strong, nodded and summoned two black-clothed scouts to escort Zhang Tianxi to the prison in the imperial city, and brought the news to Qian Gangdang; he led Ximen Qing and the other three to leave.

"My lord, don't worry, the villain will only call his own brothers."

Ximen Qing ordered Hua Tong'er and two young men to drive the cart back, and picked out four of the horses beside Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, including the big black horse that Lu Zhishen was riding earlier.

"The situation is urgent, let's ride over!"

Seeing that the four horses were all equipped with saddles and bridles, Ximen Qing secretly rejoiced that although he knew how to ride horses, it was only limited to those with saddles and bridles, otherwise it would be embarrassing for them to be naked.

The four of them rode away, and No. 26 of Group A got a bay red horse. They were also secretly surprised that such a good horse is rare in Bianliang.

Up to this point, Ximenqing didn't care whether he was running rampant on the street. Fortunately, the road No. 26 in Group A was familiar with him, so he chose the road with few people; He arrived at the gate of the prison without any risk.

Ximen Qing wanted to deceive others, so the four of them tied their horses to the tea shop, sat in the private room and ordered a pot of tea, and asked No. 26 of Group A to find the Shijie class first.

After half a cup of tea, the Shijie class followed No. 26 of Group A and came in through the back door of the tea shop. When they reached the private room, they closed the door and bowed first: "The villain pays homage to the official!"

"Exemption." Ximen Qing asked, "Did you take Xiao Xiao into prison just now?"

The face of the Shijie class was slightly yellow, and he cupped his hands and replied: "It is true that there is such a thing. When the superiors sent it over, they didn't say much, they only said to take good care of it. Seeing that the villain is a child of seven or eight years old, he was also surprised. He was young, thinking that he couldn’t be locked up with other prisoners, so he was temporarily detained in an unmanned cell, far away from other prisoners.”

"Very good." Ximen Qing nodded and said, "I want to meet this kid."

Shi Jieji agreed without even thinking about it: "This matter is not difficult, but the prison is an important place, and it will be inconvenient if there are too many people. If the adults want to see it, the villain will secretly take the adults in."

Ximen Qing got up immediately and said: "Second brother, senior brother, please wait here. I will come as soon as I go."

Both Wu Song and Lu Zhishen agreed, and sat down to drink tea; Ximen Qinghe No. 26 of Group A followed Shi Jieji out from the back door of the tea shop. Knock on the side door and sneak in.

As soon as I entered, the light was too dim. Although there were many lights inside, all of them were weak, and instead melted into the darkness.

Ximenqing smelled some bad smells in his nose, and sighed to himself that every prison cell these days is a virtuous place; Shi Jieji knows the inside well, and the 26th member of Group A saw that Ximenqing's footsteps were suspicious due to the darkness, so he held on tight keep up.

Shi Jieji took a few turns in front and pointed with his finger: "The cell on the left is where the child was imprisoned."

Ximen Qing asked Shi Jieji to open the cell door to look in, and there was a child huddled in the corner inside, but the light was too dark to see his face clearly; Shi Jieji went to pick up an oil lamp and came in, finally able to see the child clearly Trembling all over, looking at the three of them with horrified eyes.

Er Gouzi had been thrown into this cell for a while, and he had already stopped crying, when he saw three people coming in, he didn't know what happened for a while, he was afraid he would die.

Ximenqing asked Shi Jiejiu to hold the oil lamp closer, and made a face-to-face look. It seemed familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen this child.

Er Gouzi had already seen Ximen Qing clearly through the bright light, and the panic he was full of suddenly disappeared, and he rushed over and kowtowed: "Your official!"

Ximen Qing still didn't remember: "Who are you? How did you know me!"

"Senior official, the younger one is Er Gouzi! Er Gouzi from Qin Family Village!"

Er Gouzi threw himself into Ximen Qing's arms, tears welling up in his eyes!

"Qin Family Village!"

Ximen Qing immediately remembered the snotty Er Gouzi, and matched up with the crying child in front of him.

"Your Excellency really knows this kid!" Both Shi Jie and No. 26 of Group A were a little surprised.

"You go out and wait for a while, leave the lamp behind." Ximen Qing calmly ordered: "I have to ask this child."

Shijie and No. 26 of Group A withdrew as promised, and Ximen Qing let Er Gouzi hold his thigh and cry for a while. The more he thought about it, the more bizarre things seemed to be than he thought.

Why didn't Er Gouzi stay in Qin's Village and came to Bianliang?

Judging from all signs, Er Gouzi seems to have come alone.

Ximenqing remembered that when he was as old as Er Gouzi, he didn't dare to go out alone, let alone from Huaizhou to Bianliang!

Something must have happened in Qin Family Village!

The more Ximenqing thought about it, the worse it became. He shook Er Gouzi and said in a low voice, "Er Gouzi, stop crying and tell me, what happened to Qin Family Village?"

"Dead!" Er Gouzi managed to spit out two words, and suddenly cried again.

"Who died?" Ximen Qing asked suspiciously: "Could it be that someone in your family died? Didn't the village take care of you?"

"They're all dead." Er Gouzi wiped his tears vigorously, and squeezed out three words from the crying.

"Huh?" Ximen Qing suddenly felt that the situation was serious: "Don't cry, just talk about the matter. Tell me what happened to Qinjia Village? Why did you come to Bianliang? How did you go to Liang Mansion?"

.

.

A moment later, Ximen Qing walked out of the cell door with a heavy heart, and Er Gouzi who was holding his thigh and not letting go was beside him.

"I'm going to take this child back." Ximen Qing said in a rare serious tone: "Shijie class, you should take care of the matter here."

No. 26 of Group A stood with his hands down. No matter what decision Ximen Qing made, even if it sounded unreasonable, he would absolutely obey it unconditionally.

This point, Qian Gui specifically explained.

But the Shijie class had some concerns, and obviously heard some background from No. 26 of Group A: "This is not a small case. It is a murder case, and it still kills two people. The adults should not embarrass the younger ones."

Although this Shijie class is one of his own, it is obviously unable to bear this responsibility under such circumstances.

"Break in and murder?" Ximen Qing sneered, and patted Er Gouzi's head: "Shi Jie, do you believe it?"

"The villain doesn't believe it either, but the superiors handed over the child to the villain and imprisoned him. Now that the adult took him away, the superiors questioned him. If the villain can't hand him over, what should I do?" Shi Jiejiu was scratched by Ximen Qing's sneer Numb, but still gritted his teeth and replied.

"Man, I'll take it away." Ximen Qing's cold words made Shi Jieji feel irresistible: "This child is of great importance, and I will take care of it first; the higher-ups will ask you for someone, and let them go to the imperial city to ask for it!"

As he said that, Ximen Qing said to No. 26 of Group A: "Let's go to X Huangcheng Division!"

"Yes!"

The two left with the two dogs, Shi Jieji swallowed, and anxiously sent Ximen Qing and No. 26 of Group A out of the side door, and said: "My lord, at least leave a token, so that the villain can hand it over." Difference."

Before Shi Jie could finish his sentence, No. 26 of Group A stuffed something hard into his hand. He spread it out and saw that it was the badge of Huang Chengsi, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, my lord!"

Ximen Qing and No. 26 of Team A took Er Gouzi to the tea shop, Ximen Qing shook his head and said, "I can't see that you are soft-hearted."

No. 26 of Group A twitched his face twice: "The Shijie class is doing things for us anyway, and he didn't throw this child among other prisoners. He is considered a good person."

"Good man!" Ximen Qing laughed and said, "What's the use of being a good man these days? I don't want to be a good man!"

Lu Zhishen and Wu Song had seen Ximen Qing come back from upstairs, dropped some coins and rushed downstairs, they were quite surprised to see Ximen Qing brought out a child from the prison.

"Could this be the illegitimate son of a high official?" Lu Zhi asked in a low voice, touching his bald head.

Wu Song had already recognized Er Gouzi, and hurriedly asked Ximen Qing, "Why is this kid here?"

"Let's go, let's go to the Imperial City Division." Ximen Qing said: "There is something wrong with Qin Family Village."

"Qin's Village?" Wu Song was even more puzzled, untied the horse from the side and led it over. Ximen Qing got on the horse and hugged Er Gouzi in front of him.

The others also got on their horses and hurried to the Imperial City Division.

At the same time, the two people from Kaifeng Mansion sighed and drank in the street foot shop, and saw four horses galloping towards them from a distance, and pedestrians avoided them one after another.

"Let me tell you. Isn't Bai Immediately the Ximen Counselor of the Imperial City Division?" One of them pointed his head outside: "Brother, what should we do?"

The other one, who was already a little drunk, forced his drunken eyes to look: "Brother, who said it wasn't? Wait, the child that Master Ximen is holding looks familiar."

"Haha, isn't that the prisoner who was put in prison this morning? What's his name, Er Gouzi?" The previous Dutou laughed and said, "Brother, you didn't recognize you after drinking too much? That bloody coat haha."

As soon as the words fell, both of them jumped up in unison, and said in unison: "Why is it in Ximen Qing's hands!"

The two rushed out of the door of the foot shop, the four riders had already rushed over, how could they catch up?

Some of those who had drunk too much were all dizzy and suddenly frightened. They looked at each other and ran to Kaifeng Mansion in a hurry.

Such an important matter, of course, must be reported to Yao Tuiguan for decision first!

"You two officials. The money for the wine! The money for the wine hasn't been paid yet."

The foot shop clerk also rushed out, and both of them pretended not to hear and ran away.
