auspicious time has come

Chapter 4

He...he said he was going to risk his life, but why should he respect his "decision" so much?
In this case, obviously, you can still try to help?

Cao Guanting wrote "I think I can still save it", but the young man didn't give him a chance to change his words. He glanced at Jiji and the others, raised his hand holding the rein and clasped his fists: "Excuse me, excuse me. "

"Xiao..."

Cao Guanting wanted to shout again, but his voice was drowned out by the sound of hooves.

Seeing those people turning their horses and leaving, Gigi couldn't help but feel a little baffled—why are these people here?

But it's always a good thing to go.

The other party has a large number of people and their behavior is faintly unusual. If they really want to stop them, they will definitely be in big trouble.

"Did you see that people have done too many immoral things, and gods and ghosts will not help them any way!"

As Jiji said, she was a little worried that those unknown people would go back and forth, so without delay, she threw Cao Guanting into the carriage and continued on her way.

The group of people was on their way back to Guangping County.

The round-faced boy hesitated: "Just let those people take him away, Mr. Su..."

"It's okay, I'll go and explain this matter to Mr. Su. Immediately order someone to investigate the whole story and the identities of those people from Beijing." The young man confessed: "Also, take someone to Mrs. Su's residence to check— "

"Yes!" The simple-looking, round-faced young man half-knowledgeed, but also responded seriously.

However, when he was ordered to rush to Mrs. Su's place, he found that no one was at home.

It was sunny after the rain, and outside the house, there were traces of vehicles and horses passing by——

Could it be that Mrs. Su was also kidnapped?

Let alone the future son-in-law who has captured his relatives ask for an explanation, how can he also capture Miss Su?This family is too unreasonable!

When the round-faced boy was surprised, he saw his subordinates coming out of the hall: "Lieutenant Meng, here is a letter!"

……

On the way back to Beijing, it took five or six days longer than when Cao Guanting made troubles, but it was still smooth to bring him back.

On this day, when the morning dew had not cleared, the old lady of the Ji family, Mrs. Meng, who was over [-] years old, leaned on a cane, supported by her granddaughter-in-law Yu and her granddaughter Hengyu, and was about to go to Cao's house.

A few people walked to the front yard, and when they were about to leave the gate, a man dressed in a sixth-rank official uniform followed quickly and saluted the old lady: "Grandmother, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has something urgent to take care of today, let's wait for my grandson to take care of it. Then rush to Cao's house."

No emotion could be seen on the kind face of Mrs. Meng, she calmly nodded and said: "You are doing your own thing, and there is no need for you to come forward for such matters."

"Don't worry, we will definitely bring our Aning back today!" Yu and her husband promised, with a sense of menacing in their raised phoenix eyes, with one hand supporting the old lady and the other on his hips.

Ji Nanxian nodded, stretched out his hand, silently put down his wife's rolled-up sleeves, and reminded: "Yaoyao, today's not going to fight..."

"Okay, our mothers have their own discretion in this matter, so you don't need to worry about it." The old lady has always protected her grandson-in-law, and now she just said: "After you leave the office, just order the kitchen to prepare some good dishes and wait for them. We, Aning, will take the wind."

have to.

As the pillar of the family, he only ended up with an errand of preparing meals.

Ji Nanxian tactfully raised his hand as a salute: "Then I will prepare a celebration banquet at home and wait for your triumphant return."

After speaking, he did not forget to wink at his sister.

——Remember to take good care of your sister-in-law.

Heng Yu's demeanor was well-behaved, signaling to his brother to rest assured.

Looking at his well-behaved sister, Ji Nanxian sighed resignedly in his heart.

Well, it's like letting a runaway horse go to catch another runaway horse.

Watching the three heroes of the family get into the carriage, Ji Nanxian just left for the Ministry of Punishment.

He was a Jinshi five years ago, and he was sent out as a county magistrate for three years. After making some political achievements in the local area, he was transferred back to Beijing. He has served as a member of the Ministry of Punishment for two years.

At this time, he still doesn't know that apart from the matter of the Cao family and his eldest sister, there is another big event waiting for him today.

……

At this moment in the Cao family, Yun's family heard the news and rushed to the side hall. Seeing the situation in the hall, they were both shocked and angry.

"How did my son look like this!"

Wearing a stone blue gown, Cao Guanting, who did not look like a gentleman and scholar like usual, had a bruised nose and a swollen face. He tried his best to suppress his anger, and pointed at the group of people behind him: "Mother, the Ji family is really too rude!"

Yun looked over, and saw that the leader was Jiji, Hengyu's maidservant, and behind him stood a row of tall and thick women—the strongest women in Beijing might be here? !
"You are so presumptuous! How dare you do something to me, Mr. Cao's family!"

Looking at the angry Yun Shi, Jiji said expressionlessly: "We didn't beat him, he accidentally dropped it himself."

Cao Guanting gritted his teeth.

This round maid is as strong as an ox, if she hadn't pushed him every now and then, how could he have fallen like this?

Due to the shame of speaking out, at this time, he gained confidence at home and asked: "Why do you force me to go back to Beijing!"

Returning from Youzhou to the capital, this journey is like escorting a prisoner!

Jiji frowned and said, "Grandpa Cao lived with the same lady in Youzhou, and asked about the neighbors, and said that it was a husband and wife relationship! Such strange things, I have to ask my uncle to go back to Beijing to ask clearly! "

Yun's eyelids jumped when he heard this and looked at his son.

Cao Guanting's expression darkened, the Ji family really knew about Lianniang's existence.

Along the way, even though the fat servant girl didn't say a word about Lianniang's matter, just by accusing him of "indiscretion" repeatedly, she can guess the support of the Ji family.

Arresting him back to Beijing is nothing more than for this matter!

But these things are not just what the Ji family says...

Cao Guanting was thinking about all kinds of opportunities for sophistry, and before he could say a blunt "what—" evidence, he heard Jiji say in front of him: "My lord, don't be in a hurry to deny it, lest you have to worry about it later Thinking of changing my words, I must know that lady was also invited here."

As soon as the words fell, a woman from the Ji family brought a young woman into the hall.

The woman was only in her early twenties, she was not as embarrassed as Cao Guanting, her lake blue embroidered white plum skirt was clean, her eyes were clear and cold, and her face was as tight as jade.

"Lian... Lian Niang?!" Cao Guanting's face changed, and he was a little panicked.

This panic is twofold.

The woman looked at him fixedly, but did not speak.

Cao Guanting stared at her for a moment, then dodged his eyes in a panic, and his mind was buzzing.

"Big lady, big lady! Something happened!" At this moment, a servant girl rushed over and said in a panic, "My lady... she wants to kill herself!"

"what!"

Suicide?

Yun's brows were greatly frowned, what kind of monster is Ji Ningyu, a broom star, acting at such a critical moment!
