Chapter 216
Nanyang City is very prosperous, this is what Li Jun did not expect, it was the first time she came here, her uncle Mr. Dong accompanied her into Tongfu Building, and rented a single-family courtyard behind.

After Li Jun rested, Elder Dong said in a low voice, "I'll go to the Zhu Mansion and come back later, you should rest first."

"Thank you uncle." Li Jun said in a low voice, "You have been running around all this way." Originally, her cousin was going to come, but my aunt didn't want to. It was risky, so in the end only Mr. Dong was with me. Li Jun is here.

Li Jun doesn't blame Dong's family, the Li family is walking on the tip of the knife in the declining days, there is no reason to drag others into the frying pan together.

Mr. Dong nodded, and went out with the boy, while Li Jun was sitting in the room resting, the girl came in and out to set up the corresponding tea sets and washbasins, and asked the shopkeeper to take away the quilts, and replaced them with the ones they brought. He came, took out Li Jun's clothes and hung them up, and burned them to iron them.

Busily going in and out, Li Jun felt empty in her heart while watching.

Along the way, they found out that Marquis Deqing was locked in the squad room at the gate of the city. He was accompanied by two lieutenants. No one was injured, and they were provided with food and drink all the time. She could even walk around in the yard. Secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as her father is fine, she always feels that she, Shen Zhan and Su Wanru have something to talk about.

As for what to talk about, on the way she came here, she thought about it and made a lot of preparations, considering the value of the Deqinghou Mansion and herself to Su Wanru... In fact, no matter whether it is Deqinghou Mansion or herself, for the Later Song Dynasty, there is no any value.

If there is no value, she has to create value.

This was her secret decision. As for morality and self-esteem, they were gone since the moment she secretly left the capital.

During dinner, Mr. Dong came back panting. Li Jun poured him tea and asked, "Uncle, what did you find out?"

"Master Hou is now locked in the front yard of the Zhang Mansion." Elder Dong explained the relationship between Wu, Zhang, Zhu and other big clans, "...I asked Elder Zhu, Let's see if we can think of a way to see Lord Hou."

"Whether my father sees or not doesn't matter for the time being. However, the Zhu family and the others are not having a good time right now?" Li Jun said: "If they have a nepotism relationship with the Wu family, if Ru Ning makes trouble like this, no matter what the result is, they will be implicated .”

"That's the reason, so they are casting nets to catch fish now." Master Dong said: "Seeing us coming, they want to stay on the road of Marquis Deqing again. We can make use of it."

Li Jun turned the teacup in his hand, thought of something, frowned and said: "Why is my father locked up in Zhang's mansion, isn't it said to be locked up in the classroom?"

"It was Mrs. Su who sent people to Zhang's residence this afternoon. I heard that Mrs. Zhang went to find out about Mrs. Su's bottom line. In the end, she didn't find out anything, and instead she was sent to the army." Elder Dong said: "I see, This time, if we can find Shen Zhan to talk to, we will try our best to talk to Shen Zhan, and don't contact the Su family unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Although Shen Zhan is smart, he is a man with a straightforward temper. But the Su family is different, she makes twists and turns, maybe we can be entangled by her." Mr. Dong is not afraid that the Su family will arrest them. In his hands, holding them has no effect at all. Instead, it makes the world feel that they are not worthy of the Song Dynasty, and they take irrelevant people as hostages.

People need face and trees need bark, he believes that Shen Zhan is not like this.

"No." Li Jun said: "Shen Zhan was able to rebel with Su, and he must obey her. Now that Shen Zhan is fighting, Su will take care of the aftermath. Then this matter must not bypass Su, otherwise, it may arouse Su's resentment , we have lost more than we gained.”

Both of them are afraid of Su Wanru, but Mr. Dong avoids it, while Li Jun welcomes it.

If you can't avoid it, you can only bite the bullet and face it.

"You're right. The Su family is difficult to deal with. If you really mess with her, it will be difficult to deal with." Elder Dong said, "In this way, I will find a way to get on line with the Zhang family. It's a good thing to meet Su Shi."

Li Jun nodded and said, "Uncle, wait a moment." Then he took 5000 taels of silver notes and a hundred and ten taels of broken silver from the bag, and said, "Uncle takes it with me, just in case."

Master Dong was not polite, he took the bank note and raised the money, and said: "Then you go to bed early, I will go there early tomorrow morning."

Li Jun should be, and sent Mr. Dong out of the house.

"Miss." Li Jun's mother came in with food and whispered, "Are you really going to see Mrs. Su? Does she hold a grudge against you?"

Li Jun knew what mother meant. Some time ago, she went to Su Wanru to ask about Zhao Yan's situation, and the trouble was not pleasant.

To be precise, although she and Su Wanru didn't have much interaction, they were never happy.

"One thing is another thing. She is a person who can do great things. She must not care about the love of those children in the past." Li Jun sighed, and said: "However, even if she intentionally made things difficult for me, or even killed me, we will do it. Powerless to resist. Just follow the trend, if I don’t come this time, even if I live in this life, I will feel uneasy.”

Mom wiped her tears, feeling sorry for her young lady.

Li Jun didn't say anything more. After eating and reading for a while, she went to bed and rested. She didn't ask Mr. Dong what to do. The next morning, she walked around the entrance of the inn and came back to wait for news until noon. Mr. Dong came back from the outside, his face glowing red, "...I saw the second master of the Zhang family, and he said that he didn't have the ability to see Mr. Hou for the time being. They always feel that there are eyes watching them in the dark, not to mention such a coincidence, as soon as we arrived, Su Shi sent people to his house, there must be a reason for this."

Li Jun nodded. She sorted out the matter last night and felt that Su Wanru had deep meaning.

"So, can he introduce Mrs. Su to me?" Li Jun asked, "Does Mrs. Su live opposite Zhang's residence?"

Mr. Dong nodded, and briefly explained the terrain, "...They asked Mrs. Zhang to go to the opposite side today, and tomorrow you will wait at the gate of Zhang's mansion, and Mrs. Zhang will take you there."

"Okay." Li Jun nodded.

Master Dong breathed a sigh of relief, "Think about how you will talk after you go, and don't get angry with her, after all, you are not a little girl anymore."

"Understood, uncle." Li Jun replied.

Elder Dong thinks about it and has nothing to explain. Li Jun has been steady and smart since he was a child, and no matter what he does, he has a sense of proportion. He stood up and said, "Then I will go back."

Li Jun should be.

Early in the morning of the second day, she packed up and went out with a bundle. After waiting for a while at the gate of Zhang's mansion, she saw Mrs. Zhang came out with only one woman. She went up and saluted. Mrs. Zhang accepted it calmly and said: "Su's temper is weird, and there is no one serving at home, so we can't bring many..." She said halfway, and found that Li Jun came by herself, so she stopped what she said immediately, and said awkwardly: "Let's go." .”

Li Junfu followed Mrs. Zhang to the opposite side. Before the door was opened, she heard the giggles of children inside. She was stunned for a moment, and then Mrs. Zhang said in a low voice: "It's Su's son, one and a half years old, let's go in later." Don't talk to that kid, he's very smart."

Li Jun smiled and nodded, "Got it."

The door opened, and it was opened by a tall, thin, handsome man who smiled at them and said, "Is it visiting the princess? Please come in."

"Thank you." Mrs. Zhang nodded, and followed the man in. Li Jun looked at the yard, which was an ordinary courtyard house, with a row of six main rooms, a kitchen and two side rooms, which seemed to be piled with firewood and other things. , no different from ordinary people.

Su Wanru is really flexible, from a princess to an embroidered lady, and then from an embroidered lady to a marquis, and now that she has regained her identity, she is willing to live in such a house.

"Mother." The little boy was fair-skinned and tall, not like he was one and a half years old. His eyes were very big. He gave them a round and round look, and then he sat under the eaves and played with a Kit Kat board. Stretched straight, revealing a piece of fleshy calf, vivid and interesting.

The son of Shen Zhan and Su Wanru, Li Jun thought about it, and murmured, "...it looks like Shen Zhan."

"What's the matter?" Su Wanru came out from the main room. She was wearing a hibiscus-colored pair of skirts, a weeping willow bun with no makeup applied, no hairpin rings, and an old cloth skirt, but she exuded a strong charm, It's amazing.

Li Jun couldn't help but looked down at herself, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Today she was wearing a half-worn grape purple bib, which looked old and rustic, but this was exactly the effect she wanted.

"Mother, how did I do well?" The child looked at Su Wanru, blinking his eyes, as if pretending to be full of stars, Su Wanru smiled, and praised sincerely: "Looks good, my son is really smart."

The little boy pouted, "Although it looks sincere, it's actually perfunctory."

"Stinky brat." Su Wanru chuckled, and said, "Talk back to mother again and see how your father treats you."

The little boy giggled, and raised his finger to point at them, obviously just to divert Su Wanru's attention, "Mom, there are guests."

"Hmm." Su Wanru seemed to have just found out, she turned her head and saw them, raised her eyebrows and said, "Mrs. Zhang, Ms. Li?"

Only then did Madam Zhang go forward to salute, and said politely: "Princess, I have brought Miss Li here."

"En." Su Wanru nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to turn back, so she stood still and didn't dare to move.

Li Jun went forward, saluted wholeheartedly, and said, "Ms. Li kowtows to the princess."

Su Wanru raised her eyebrows and sized her up, without being polite to her, "Go inside and sit down."

Li Jun should have taken a step, but seeing Mrs. Zhang not moving, she couldn't help being curious, she paused before realizing that Su Wanru didn't invite Mrs. Zhang, but just called her to sit in the room.

"Go back." Su Wanru said, "Come pick up Miss Li in half an hour."

Mrs. Zhang should be busy, and she went away as if she was running away after paying her respects.

Li Jun was secretly astonished, and followed Su Wanru into the main hall. The two sat opposite each other and Su Wanru poured tea for her herself, when she heard the little boy and the man who opened the door for them just now talking and bickering with laughter.

This kid is really smart, Li Jun thought about it and thanked him.

"Your father is in the Zhang residence, have you seen it?" Su Wanru asked straight to the point.

Li Jun was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "No, I'm here for the third day, and this is the first time I've gone out today."

"En." Su Wanru said: "Tell me, how do you plan to save your father?"

Li Jun got up, handed over the baggage she was carrying, and opened it in front of Su Wanru. Su Wanru drank tea and didn't look at it, but heard the other party read: "This is all our family's belongings. It's 99 taels in total. I brought some valuable jewelry from my mother."

"This money is not too much, but it is not too much. It will give you food and grass for more than half a year." Li Jun said: "This is only a part, the rest depends on what you want me to do, princess, as long as I can do it." Yes, I will die."

"After rescuing your father, what are your plans?" Su Wanru asked.

Li Jun replied: "After being rescued... my father was old and frail and was frightened. He might not even be able to speak clearly, and he couldn't walk. He could only lie on the bed and take medicine to support him until he died."

Really smart, Su Wanru glanced at Li Jun appreciatively, and said: "Master Hou is in good health, probably healthier than you."

Li Jun lowered her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Yes, I have always been in poor health, and I don't know how long I will live." She was ready for Su Wanru to exchange her life for that of Marquis Deqing.

Su Wanru looked at her and raised her eyebrows.

Mrs. Zhang waited for half an hour, and came to pick Li Jun out. As soon as she left the door, she asked anxiously: "How is it, what does the princess say, are you willing to release Marquis Deqing?"

"She bit her to death and won't let her go." Li Jun lowered her eyebrows, "He said she had a grudge against my father, and he must escort my father to his parents' grave to apologize."

Mrs. Zhang was speechless, "This... is too cruel."

"Thanks for your hard work, ma'am, and please trouble me to take care of my father." Li Jun suddenly knelt down on the street, "My father likes to drink a sip of wine every day and doesn't eat spicy food. Please take care of my father."

The corners of Mrs. Zhang's mouth trembled, and she asked her mother-in-law to help her up, and said: "Miss Li, even if you don't say this, I dare not neglect it. To put it bluntly, she killed Deqing if she didn't say it for a day. Hou, we have to keep offering as Bodhisattvas."

Li Jun nodded yes.

"To tell you the truth, our house is in turmoil right now, so we just need to watch the situation in Runing." Mrs. Zhang sighed, "Miss Li, worry a little bit on the way back, I won't see you off."

Li Jun should be, and left alone.

Mrs. Zhang looked at it and sighed, and entered the mansion. Master Zhang was waiting for her in the Nuan Pavilion, and asked, "How is it?"

"Just as you thought, she was kind enough not to kill Miss Li." Madam Zhang smiled wryly, "We still have to make an offering to this Buddha."

Grandpa Zhang said: "Shen Zhan is coming back today, I will block him at the gate of the city. Even if she is a princess, Shen Zhan can't let a woman do anything wrong."

"I think it's useless." Mrs. Zhang said: "Shen Zhan listens to her in everything. I'm afraid it won't do you any good if you see her, and you'll have to provoke Shen Zhan's eyes."

Grandpa Zhang didn't believe in evil, and said: "I don't believe it. If he is a man, he shouldn't let his woman mess around. Can a woman control the current situation?"

After saying that, he walked away, and sure enough, he sent someone to guard the gate of the city.

Mrs. Zhang's eyelids twitched, and when it was time to guard, Mr. Zhang was helped back. She jumped up in shock and said, "What's the matter?"

"Shen Zhan beat him." The boy supporting him said, "That guy is too unreasonable."

Mrs. Zhang served tea, and asked someone to invite the doctor, and said: "You quarreled with him, how can he beat you when he is so good?"

Mr. Zhang was speechless, and the servant replied on his behalf: "...Master first spoke kindly, but Shen Zhan waved his hand and refused to listen, so the master became angry, saying how can you, Shen Zhan, listen to a woman in everything No matter how good-looking a woman is, she can only warm the kang, if you let the woman decide whether she is a man or not."

"As soon as the master finished speaking, he was kicked in the heart by Shen Zhan. Shen Zhan also said that ten men like the master are not as capable as his wife, so don't fart in front of him."

What the boy said was vivid, Mrs. Zhang's eyelids jumped when she heard it, and she complained: "I told you not to go. When the young couple is inseparable, you go and say that she is not good. Can Shen Zhan agree? It's just for the sake of face. He has to act too."

"I'm confused." Mr. Zhang shook his head, fell down on the kang and gasped for breath. Mrs. Zhang was about to speak, when suddenly a woman came rushing outside the door and shouted: "Master, Mrs. is not well, Deqing Hou... Hou Deqing is gone."

"Missing? What's missing, please speak clearly." Mrs. Zhang's head buzzed, and Grandpa Zhang also sat up, "Where can he run on one leg, look for it."

The mother-in-law replied: "I have searched inside and out, but there is no one, so I just disappeared in the room."

It's over, Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang looked at each other, "It's over now. Both sides are offended."

The Wu family fought against Zhou Chao in Ru Ning, but they didn't curry favor with the Later Song Dynasty. It's really over now.

"Will Mrs. Su kill us?" Mrs. Zhang cried, "Master, hurry up and let everyone in the family come out to discuss it."

Mr. Zhang went to invite his family and brothers with chest tightness, and then invited Zhu's family.

"Ms. Li's family and Mr. Dong must have rescued them." Zhu's family said: "They came here to save Marquis Deqing. They went to talk to Mrs. Su today, so they have no choice but to find a way to save people."

"Then quickly send someone to block the city gate, and then go to the inn to search." Mr. Zhang hurriedly sent someone to do something, and after waiting for more than half an hour, the person who went out came back and replied eagerly: "... Mr. Dong and Li Miss, I can't find it."

I searched all over the city, but no one was found, even outside the city.

It turned out that Master Dong and Li Jun rescued Hou Deqing.

"What's wrong with this?" Mrs. Zhang said: "In the afternoon, Mrs. Su said that Marquis Deqing would not be let go, but that he would keep him and kill her at the grave of her parents."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Otherwise, reconcile with Zhou Chao?" Someone from the Zhang family said: "I advise the Wu family not to quarrel with Zhou Chao. Let's avoid running to Runing before the Su family knows about it."

This method is feasible, Master Zhang said: "Hundreds of people from our three mansions went to Runing overnight, how could there be no movement, not to mention, don't forget, the city gate is now guarded by Shen Zhan's people."

"The Li family is too heartless and wants to kill us." The Zhang family said humanely, "The only way now is to find a way to kill Shen Zhan and the Su family. As long as they die, all problems will be solved."

"The Su family is protected by someone, so don't talk about killing Shen Zhan." Someone said: "Only the young master of the Shen family can move."

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you, showing the posture of breaking the boat.

"Fart!" Grandpa Zhang said, "Arrest the young master? Don't forget, Shen Zhan has [-] soldiers in his hands, and one person can drown you by spitting."

Someone asked: "Then what should I do?"

"You can't kill it openly, you can only use it secretly." Master Zhang said.

dark?Everyone looked at him.

　Come at night, there are two more!
