Chapter 73

On the fourth watch day, the lanterns of the night market on the street have been extinguished, and there are only a few people coming and going on the street.

The faint moonlight shines through the gaps in the old eaves, lightly reflecting the outline of the street.

All kinds of stalls and shops on both sides of the street have been closed, and only a few small doors occasionally emit faint candlelight.

The watchmen in the distance beat the gong in their hands from time to time, making a crisp gong sound, making the whole street even more silent.

The Qingshiban Road in the street has been engraved with traces of the years. The erosion of the rain in the past two days has made the Qingshiban Road even more age-old, as if silently telling the vicissitudes of history.

Although the willow trees on both sides of the street have lost many willow leaves by the wind, they are still green and graceful. A few nocturnal animals still take advantage of these times to shuttle quietly on the street, as if they are looking for something.

At this late night, everything on the street seems to be asleep, and the bustling nature is also asleep. Everything on the street becomes mysterious and ancient at this moment.It seems that time has stood still here, and at this moment, the wheels of a carriage made a rumbling sound on the bluestone slab...

"Biao Aunt, are you cold? We'll be home soon." The two sisters Xie Yi and Xie Yihua who were staying in the carriage surrounded Murong Shu, took Xie Hao'an's cloak and put it on Murong Shu. Said very pity and distressed.

Xie Hao'an did not hide anything from the sister Hua'er on this matter, although this matter is a scandal to some extent.

But first of all, it should be the shameless Murong family who feel ashamed of this matter. Secondly, Murong Shu's fate is ill-fated today. Shu's current situation will only cause more rumors and rumors. He Xie Hao'an wants to protect Murong Shu well, and doesn't want Murong Shu to suffer from rumors and rumors again, especially in the Xie family and the Gu family...

Therefore, after Xie Hao'an exchanged 10 taels of silver for Murong Shu's ten-day freedom, he immediately told the two sisters Xie Yi and Xie Yihua the ins and outs of this matter.

The two sisters, Xie Yi and Xie Yihua, did not worry about the Xie family's embarrassment and discrimination because of Murong Shu's status as a flower girl in a brothel. On the contrary, they felt very sorry for what happened to Murong Shu. My own ill-fated cousin.

"It's okay, I'm not cold, what's the point of this, I've fetched water in the ice and snow before, besides, it's not like I'm going to Xie's house soon, I'm really too late for joy!"

"Biao Aunt, you just want to be happy. Our Xie family has everything, and our Xie family are all good people. Besides, Biao Aunt, you are so beautiful. I think grandma will be very happy when she sees you!"

"Yes, yes! Grandma will definitely want to keep her cousin when she sees you. When the time comes, the whole family will be reunited, and we will never come back to this place again!" said thankfully, without the slightest hint of embarrassment. Noticing that what he said unintentionally touched Murong Shu's sore spot, and Xie Yihua, who had a delicate mind, heard what Xie Yi said, and immediately pinched Xie Yi quietly, signaling Xie Yi not to say any more.

Xie Yi was also pinched by this, and immediately realized that what he said was inappropriate, and was about to explain, but Murong Shu smiled and said without hesitation:
"You don't have to be so cautious. I didn't steal, and I didn't rob. I have lived to this day with my own ability, and there is nothing I can't say. Besides, whether you think highly of me, whether you have me in your heart, now, I can see It's clear."

"Let's just say that the three of us outside have very different personalities, but in my opinion, they are still the most enthusiastic good brothers just like when we were young! I just don't know, these three good brothers of mine, in the future, they will be matched with each other. What kind of beautiful lady! I heard that brother Chen Yu is now a general, and his physical strength should be quite good! I think the future bride must have to work hard!" Murong Shu joked loudly with a smile.

Murong Shu's words reached the ears of Chen Yu, who was riding a tall horse outside the carriage, and the three of them looked at each other, feeling quite helpless. This little girl is getting older and more courageous, and this kind of joke is still being played against them. .

"If you talk too much, be careful that I will throw you off the carriage and let you walk on the ground!" Chen Yu frowned, slowed down, walked to the window of the carriage, and patted the carriage with his hands window to indicate a warning.

Murong Shu smiled slyly, then stuck out her tongue, causing Xie Yi and Xie Yihua to chuckle.

"Aunt Biao, aren't you from Yuzhou? Why are you so familiar with General Chen and Young Master Liang Liu who grew up in the capital?"

"It seems...it seems...you have known each other for many years?" Xie Yi looked at the familiar and presumptuous attitudes of Murong Shu and Chen Yu, and was quite curious in his heart. Then he thought about it, and finally asked curiously.

"It means, you are really a clever girl. Indeed, although I am a native of Yuzhou, I did know your little uncle, General Chen Yu, Liang Liulang and several others by chance. .”

"Oh? Cousin, can you tell us the story of your childhood! We are really curious! Uncle, this man tells me everything, but he doesn't tell me about his childhood! He is stingy Very good!" When Xie Yi said the last sentence, he purposely said loudly to Xie Haoan who was outside the carriage.

Hearing this, Xie Hao'an just shook his head, quite helpless, but he still continued to let Murong Shu and Xie Yi talk wantonly in the carriage.

"Okay, okay, then let me tell you a little about the things about the few of us."

"In the past, although the old house of Murong's family was in Yuzhou, my mother was still alive at that time, and my relationship with your grandmother was the best, and Yuzhou is not far from the capital, so whenever your grandmother's On birthdays, my mother always traveled thousands of miles to come to Kyoto to celebrate your grandmother’s birthday. At that time, I was young and I liked to stick to my mother the most.

So my mother reluctantly took me with her every year, and went to Kyoto together, and got acquainted with your little uncle. I remember that it should be when I was six or seven years old, and your grandmother celebrated her birthday that year. So, my mother took me to live in Beijing for half a year! "

"In that half year, there was a kidnapping case in Kyoto, did you know?"

"I know, I know! Although I was only three or four years old at the time, I heard about it later when I heard my mother and father chatting. At that time, there was a former church called the Yin Yang Church. In order to help the descendants of the former prince who was deposed What a shocking situation, kidnapping the children of many important officials of the imperial court!"

"Among them... I remember that my uncle was also kidnapped at that time... Could it be that my cousin and you too!" Xie Yi exclaimed!
"Exactly. At that time, many sons and daughters of important court officials were kidnapped. Among them were your little uncle, brother Chen Yu, brother Liang, and the second brother Qi you know, as well as the young master of the Yan family and the elder brother of the Li family. At that time, I was playing around with your little uncle in the temple, and I was taken away by the way..."

"Ah! Cousin, you are so unlucky!"

"Hahaha, it's alright, misfortune and fortune depend on each other. Although it is said that I suffered a kidnapping, if it wasn't because of this kidnapping, how would I know these good brothers of mine~"

"So... Aunt Biao, you all got married because of this reason?"

"That's not true. Back then, when my parents died early, everyone thought I was a calamity who suppressed my father and my mother... The elders in the clan also took over my family property and embezzled my family's property after my parents died. Part [-], at that time I was not a child of an important official, just an orphan." Chen Yu suddenly said when he heard the movement in the car.

"That's right, that's right. Back then, my Liang family offended a villain. My father was demoted again and again in his official career. Many people also avoided my Liang family. Speaking of which, although I have a title, I was very neglected. It's not a high-ranking official." Liang Liulang also said aloud.

"Then why were you arrested?"

"It's all your fault, Xie Jiashu, for attracting so much attention~ Although the two of us are not the sons of important ministers, your little uncle is the heart of your grandmother, and before we were kidnapped, we had already become each other's childhood playmates because of some things. I heard that your little uncle was tied up for only two days, and we were very anxious, and your Uncle Chen Yu directly acted as the "Dali Temple Secretary", pulled me together, and started looking for your little uncle's whereabouts."

"I don't know if it's a coincidence, or because the officials who handled the case were also part of the rebellious ministers, which caused that group of people to be too careless. They arrested so many children in a few days, and they were all locked up in the same place. In the downtown area.

When a child encounters a strange environment, he naturally cries every night. Even if the group of people threatens them, the neighbors will inevitably hear the sound. Your Brother Chen Yu used to hang out in the market and often dealt with beggars. When it comes to seeking information, it can be said that, to a certain extent, even Dali Temple can't compare. "

"So, you followed the clues to find the lair of that group!" Xie Yihua, who had been quietly listening to the story in the carriage, couldn't help asking when he heard this.

"Exactly, but we are still very smart. There were no two children who went to rescue people with bare hands. My family had a relationship with Dali Temple at that time, so I dragged myself to the Dali Temple at that time to be responsible for the investigation. An official from the case went with us to find out."

"In the end, I didn't expect that we, Liang Liulang's related officials, happened to be part of the rebellious officials and thieves, and because of this, the two of us were also arrested." Chen Xun said coldly.

"I remember that I said at the time that I asked you to go to Yan Guogong first."

"Hahaha, you know people, you know your face, but you don't know your heart. Besides, how did I know that the person who was so gentle to us at that time would be a bad person... How could I know... Yan Guogong who looks like an ice cube... He's a good man... I thought, our good An brother is a good bamboo shoot...hehehe~" Liang Liulang said awkwardly.

"Heh!" Xie Hao'an laughed silently.

"Then what happened later! Later! Little uncle, you were all arrested, how did you escape!" Xie Yi said in the carriage.

"Later...Later, because of being locked up together, we became acquainted with each other, and then we overheard that the group of people wanted to use us to threaten our family members, and when things came to pass Afterwards, there was no plan to let the few of us leave at all, so we children simply prepared to save ourselves."

"Help yourself! Little uncle! I heard that those tall and big people are some desperadoes! How did you escape from danger!"

"What about the desperadoes? Conceit is their biggest weakness. They think we're just a bunch of kids, and they don't take us to heart. There are only two or three little ones watching over us during the day. Others, as long as they have some status and real skills, they all went to plan some big plans with their masters."

"And we children also saw this, and came up with a trick to escape."

"Ah? What's the trick?" Xie Yihua and Xie Yi asked doubtfully.

Murong Shu laughed and said: "At that time, before our brother Chen Yu came into the place where we were imprisoned, he had already explored the surrounding environment clearly, and knew that as long as we could get out of that courtyard, we would run a few hundred It is just a street, and the street must be full of patrolling officials and private troops from various families looking for people."

"So, on that day, your little uncle became cruel and hurt himself. He scratched his arm fiercely and bled a lot. Those little uncles naturally didn't dare to let him go at that time. Your little uncle had an accident, so they immediately opened the door of the room, wanting to take your little uncle away to stop the bleeding."

"At this time, we took out the fragments of the rice bowl that we had hidden earlier, and scratched their necks while they were not paying attention when they squatted down to check on your little uncle."

"Speaking of which, it should be the first time we people have seen blood. I remember, it should be you and Ah Jing who did it." Liang Liulang said.

"Well, yes, Ah Jing and I have been practicing martial arts since we were young, and we are the most ruthless. After those two people were injured by us, before they had time to hit us, they were knocked unconscious by some other stone bowls and chopsticks held by you guys. , Then, we worked together to subdue the remaining guard.

You let me run to the street and move the rescuers. "

"Speaking of it, it's also dangerous. It was really bad luck that day. As soon as Ah Shu ran out, those big men came back unexpectedly, and found out what we did. They punched and kicked us. After the beating, Immediately wanted to hide us in another place, but fortunately, at the moment we were taken away, rescuers arrived!"

"Yeah, that day, all of us failed and almost died..."

"But luckily... the rewards come after all hardships~" Liang Liulang said with a smile.

The few remaining people also looked at each other and smiled against the moonlight, no longer speaking, just continued to walk on this road under the moonlight.
