Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

On the second day, Defang took Jiajun, Nangongwen and several entourages to the private house to check. When they walked to the street, a woman suddenly rushed out and came straight. How dare you be so rude!"

The woman looked up at De Fang and the guards around her, then fell to her knees and said, "Help, my lord, help me!"

Defang saw a few people running in front of her, and the woman panicked, "My lord, they want to catch me, save me!"

As soon as Defang waved his hand, the guards surrounded the four people who were chasing him, and the four looked at Defang, "Who are you?"

Jia Jun came over and punched the man in the face, and the man fell straight on the ground, covering his face and rolling, Jia Jun reprimanded loudly, "Bold madman! The prince is here, don't kneel down!"

When the other three heard this, they quickly knelt down, and Defang walked up to him and asked, "Who are you all? Why are you arresting this woman?"

The three looked at each other, and one said tremblingly, "My lord, this, this person was bought by my master, but she wants to run away, so...so..."

"Bought it back? Who is your master? Why did you buy this woman?" Defang asked

"My master is Master Zhang, the magistrate, and he bought her back... as a concubine," said one person.

The woman came forward and knelt down and said, "My lord, the husband of the civilian woman is a gambler and owes a huge debt, so he sold me to them, but I refused. Now the civilian woman is still pregnant, my lord, please make the decision!"

One of the chasers said, "Your Majesty, we have written proof that it was indeed my master who bought her."

"Absurd! Husband sells his pregnant wife. How can the laws of the Song Dynasty allow such unethical things?" Defang said angrily

"Master Zhang is an official of the imperial court and one of his parents, how can he do such a thing?"

At this time, the woman said, "Your Majesty, there is another woman in his mansion who looks like a commoner's wife. If you don't obey, you will be beaten. I beg your Majesty to save her." The woman began to cry.

"What?! Come here! Take these four people back!" Defang invited the woman, "Madam, please lead the way for this king."

Several guards escorted the four of them away, and the woman brought De Fang and her party to the place where she was held. Nan Gongwen saw it and whispered to De Fang, "My lord, this is one of the private houses that the villain is investigating. That is the place where the prince will come today."

Defang looked at Nangong Wen and said, "Such a coincidence? Well, since that's the case, there is an excuse to search."

Song Jiajun stepped forward to call for the door, there was some noise in the courtyard, but no one opened the door, Jiajun looked at Defang, Defang raised his head, Jiajun understood, waved for a guard to knock on the door, the door was knocked open, and ten guards jumped out of it, Holding a big knife, he fought with the guards of the palace. One of them rushed in front of Defang. Defang pulled out the sword at his waist, swung the sword to block the big knife, held the opponent's fist with his left hand, and kicked the guardian to the ground. On the ground, the guards came to hold him down. Jia Jun and the guards tied up the other people in uniform. Defang entered the mansion with his sword and went straight to the main hall, but there was no one in the main hall, and the whole main hall had been remodeled, except for the door. , there is not even a window, airtight, there is a big copper stove in the middle of the main hall, still burning, the room is very hot, and there is an inexplicable smell coming from the stove, like medicine but it seems not, It’s not like it’s burnt out, but it smells bad anyway, Defang covered her mouth and nose, looked around, but found nothing, so she walked out of the room and said to Nangongwen, “It seems that other people heard the noise and ran away He turned to the woman and asked, "Madam, is this the place you are talking about? Where is the other woman?"
