Forensic lady champion husband

Chapter 59

Du He had just been pushed back into the cellar from the outside. The sun was rising and the moon was setting outside, but there was only darkness in the cellar. He reckoned that three or four days had passed.

"You are Ding Wei's spy, you should know some secrets in this mansion." He rubbed his wrists that were so painful from the handcuffs, encouraging Luo Qiyu.

Luo Qiyu didn't like it anymore, she didn't say anything for a long time, she said something, but she didn't answer the question.

"Have you done one thing for him, will he be a thorn in your side all his life?"

Du He said carelessly: "You have done things to this extent, and you still want me to believe you? Am I stupid or are you stupid?"

Luo Qiyu smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, I'm just stupid. Don't ask, the Duke doesn't trust me that much, and I don't know any secrets of the Ding family. However, I realized that the cellar we stayed in is in the west of the garden. Behind the rockery on the side, there is a high wall to avoid the fire, outside the wall is a narrow road, on the other side of the narrow road is a row of inverted houses, and outside is the road."

Du He felt sour when she heard her talking about the Duke, and said embarrassingly: "Actually, those who guard us are not my opponents at all. I can knock them unconscious with a backhand blow, but what can I do if I am knocked unconscious? The high wall of fire is as high as two or three people, I can try to climb over it, but what about you?"

Luo Qiyu's heart trembled, she was afraid that Du He would abandon her, but he sighed and said: "I can't leave you alone in this dragon's pond and tiger's lair!"

You still have a conscience.Luo Qiyu wanted to laugh, but held back, not wanting to show her affection in front of Du He.

It was pitch black, but it was just right for her to hide this secret joy and bury it in her heart, even she was ashamed to look directly at it.

"Wait!" Du He yelled suddenly, and felt that the voice was too loud, so he quickly shut up and turned to a low voice, "I can't leave you alone... why don't we make a countermeasure!"

Luo Qiyu was puzzled and said, "What countermeasures?"

Du He said: "I pretended to go to the convenience for a while, and knocked out the guard as soon as I got out of the cellar, and then hid in the courtyard. You go and tell Ding Wei that I have escaped. In the most dangerous moment, people always care about the most important thing. You observe where Ding Wei is the first to be inspected, and we agreed to leave a mark behind the rockery, you tell me, and I will go check it out."

Luo Qiyu said anxiously: "You are going to risk your life because of the secrets of the Chading family?"

Du He said: "Otherwise, do you think that old thief Ding would let us go out unharmed when Yan Engong took people to raid the house? I'm going all out to find a backer, and it won't hurt if I die!"

Luo Qiyu sighed, imitating his words, and said: "I will obey you, I can't leave you alone in this dragon's pond and tiger's lair!"

Du He smiled brightly, but Luo Qiyu couldn't see his joyful smile at the moment.

But he said that Ding Wei had an old friend, surnamed Wang and named Qinruo.

In terms of talent, he is a well-deserved genius, and he presided over the compilation of "Cefu Yuangui", one of the four great books of the Northern Song Dynasty that has been handed down for hundreds of generations.

In terms of character, he was the one who conspired with Ding Wei to frame Zhongliang Kouzhun at the beginning. This alone is impressive enough, and there is no need to mention the other unbearable acts.

The villain gathers together by profit, and he and Ding Wei are friends of fame and fortune. Now that the Ding family is suffering, he should be wise and safe, pretend to be deaf and dumb, and hang out smoothly for a year or two until he becomes an official. That is, three generations and five generations in a row, one wave is not flat, and another wave rises again.

Kou Zhun was not the only one who was framed by Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei. Yang Yi, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and Ma Zhijie, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, were all excluded by them. Due to Ding Wei's crimes, they made an appointment to go to Beijing to appeal the grievances of their parents.

In this way, Wang Qinruo will be implicated. He is already a 60-year-old man, and he is wholeheartedly waiting to return to his hometown to take care of his life. In the past two years, he has calmed down a lot. It's a mess, and he can't do it if he doesn't want to help clean it up.

After all, Wang Qinruo was a member of the Zhongshu family, with the power to lead hundreds of officials, and the most well-informed. He took the lead in stopping the survivors of Yang Yi, Ma Zhijie and others who were going to Beijing to appeal outside the city, and imprisoned them together. stand up.

But it is said that the time sequence has entered the twelfth lunar month, and the north wind is getting tighter. Scattered ice floes have formed on the canal from Yingtian to Bianliang, the capital of the country. Curse the damn weather.

Yan Shu, the magistrate of Yingtian, received the edict to return to Beijing, and brought Fan Zhongyan and other officials back to Beijing along the jade dragon-like official road in Panshan.He and Fan Zhongyan shared the same car, and the car walls with cotton wool couldn't keep out the wind and cold. The two of them were still wearing heavy clothes, holding a charcoal stove in their arms to keep warm.

"After entering Beijing, I will recommend you to the officials and state your past political achievements. The Wanyan Shu you submitted to the imperial court is quite a sacred family. You have been an official for more than ten years, and it is time for you to show your ambitions."

Yan Shu spoke calmly, opened the curtain to look at the scenery passing by outside the car, walked for six days and five nights, and finally arrived outside Bianliang City.

Anyone who hears that he is going to be recommended will be happy, but in front of the elders, he doesn't like to show his joy.

But Fan Zhongyan laughed. With his smile, Yan Shu couldn't help sighing: "It's so good. I'm used to seeing Pili Yangqiu in the officialdom and keeping calm. You can laugh in front of me. After all, you have a sense of calmness. But you What are you smiling for?"

Fan Zhongyan shyly said, "Let's not hide from Mr. Yan. First, only in a high position can you be righteous, expand your mind, change customs, and change current affairs. How can it be compared to a small place? Second... the students are from poor families. The official salary is higher..."

Both of them laughed loudly, Yan Shu said: "Okay, okay, just because of these 'wrecking' words, we should also get off the horse and have a few drinks."

So, he ordered the coachman to rein in his horse, found a roadside tavern, ordered a pot of hot mutton soup with floating white marrow, seven or eight kinds of meat and vegetable stewed dishes, and ate and drank the hot Meishou wine in one go. body chill.

The hunched shopkeeper came to refill the wine, and Yan Shu asked, "Meishou wine is a famous product of Bianjing Fenglelou, is this real in yours?"

When the shopkeeper heard that he was an expert, he nodded and bowed his head and said, "The distiller's koji is the same, and the craftsmanship is also the same. Fengle Building has been cellared for five years, and this altar in my house has been buried in the backyard for eight years. It is sealed with pine needles every year. You can try it, sir. The taste is not worse than that of the big restaurant, is it?"

Yan Shu laughed loudly and said, "I'll ask him a question, he's selling himself as a good boy!"

Seeing that he wanted to make a joke, the shopkeeper became more flattering and said: "The officials look down on our bad wine, and there is a poor man hiding under the window to suffer from the cold. The little one just pours this unsightly thing into the mouth." Giving it to him can save a life!"

Yan Shu turned around and looked out of the window, there was indeed a young man in a ragged jacket shivering at the base of the wall, and said to the shopkeeper, "Quickly tell him to come in to keep warm, don't freeze to death."

The shopkeeper opened the store to make money, no matter whether he is a beggar or a nobleman, it is good that someone pays the bill anyway, he brought the frozen young man in kindly, put him on the kang, the boy opened his mouth and fed two cups of hot wine, the young man Two balls of blood slowly appeared on his pale face, and he knew he was struggling to get up, and swallowed a bowl of mutton soup soaked in stewed noodles, obviously very hungry.

While he was eating, the shopkeeper wiped his face clean with a towel. He turned out to be a young man in his [-]th or [-]th year, with delicate features and slender fingers. The appearance of wolfing down the bowl is really distressing.

"Whose child are you, why did you run out in the cold?" Fan Zhongyan sat beside him and asked.

Although the young man was extremely cold and hungry, he understood etiquette. He wiped his mouth and answered with a voice like a bell, "This junior is from Pucheng, Jianzhou."

Pucheng in Jianzhou is now Pucheng County in Fujian, which is separated by hundreds of thousands of miles from Bianliang.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why he appeared here.

It turned out that he was Yang Yi's youngest son, Yang Chun. He followed his elder brother Yang Hong to Beijing to rehabilitate his father, but was arrested by Wang Qinruo's men and locked up in an idle house outside the city for five or six days. Young and small in stature, he found a free time and escaped. He wanted to go to Beijing to report to the government, but he lost his way in the mountains and forests all night. When he found this wine house, he was already dying.

Yan Shu was Wang Qinruo's old enemy, and he felt resentful when he heard it, and said, "There is such a thing? Don't be afraid, you come to Beijing with me, and you will definitely rescue your brother."

Yang Chun stared with big clear eyes, and said: "I still have to give it to my father Zhaoxue!"

As an official in the same dynasty as Yang Yi, Yan Shu naturally knew that this person was pure and good-natured, and also sympathized with what happened to him. He loved the house and Wu, and patted Yang Yi's orphan on the shoulder to promise: "I will definitely give it to Yang Yi, and eat more quickly, and then let the shopkeeper eat it." I'll boil water for you to take a bath, change into decent clothes, and then we'll go to Beijing."

Yan Ziqin knew that his clan uncle was going back to Beijing soon, so he had already sent people to guard outside the city gate. Once he found Yan Shu, he immediately notified him immediately. Yan Shu's carriage and horses only entered the city gate, and Yan Ziqin had already rushed over from the Yamen.

Welcomed Yan Shu back to the yamen, and served tea in person, but Yan Shu seemed to be a little bit unconvinced, and cast a sideways glance at his nephew, but Fan Zhongyan was in a dilemma, and smiled and swayed a few words.

Needless to say, Yan Shu still hated the Quyuan affair, but this time he was able to return to Beijing, thanks to the Quyuan affair's premise behind the queen mother, and being rescued by the "enemy", could he not be angry?
Because he couldn't love and wish for Quyuan, he even looked at Yan Ziqin differently.Ever since he met his uncle, Yan Ziqin always felt that his uncle studied him as some kind of strange object, and he had a different interest in examining him.

"Okay, don't rush around." Yan Shu stopped Yan Ziqin who was about to pour tea for him, and said, "Let you meet someone."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the hall, and a handsome young man with a stubborn face came out, his cheeks were flushed by the wind, and he was dressed plainly, looking no different from the boys.

That young man was Yang Chun, and Yan Shu asked him to tell Yan Ziqin about his going to Beijing to seek justice but being blocked by Wang Qinruo. Upon hearing this, Yan Ziqin asked, "Where were you imprisoned at that time?"

Yang Chun is a foreigner, so he can't say for sure, but he just described it, saying that the house is outside a poplar grove, with a main courtyard and two cross courtyards, with blue bricks and gray tile roofs. There is a stone town house in front of the gate. A circle of elm leaf plums is planted, and the branches are as tall as a person.

After Yan Ziqin heard this, he sent two local government officials from Bianliang to search in the suburbs. He also planned to go to Wang Qinruo himself to hold him back and buy time for the rescue.

But Yan Shu stopped him and said, "If you and Wang Qinruo are of different generations, I'm afraid he will overwhelm you. I still have some friendship with him, why don't I go."

Yan Ziqin was very surprised, he always thought that his uncle didn't want to see him, but unexpectedly offered a helping hand.

Yan Shu still didn't bother to look at his nephew, but patted him on the shoulder and said, "For the country and the people, we have to go to the same goal by different routes. There is still some responsibility for this."
