Chapter 37
"Miss...you are a daughter of a lady, and you are different from those of us who came from the Jiaofangsi. You need to know that a mistake will cause eternal hatred. It is a minor thing if there is a flaw in the white wall. If you accidentally have a child, it will be endless troubles and a drag on your life." Don't want to make a big ugliness in the sun for the sake of being in love for a while, and ruin your life. Cui Yingying was abandoned at the beginning of chaos, and Zhuo Wenjun also has a white head. Miss, please think twice. "
"Miss Mao, don't worry. Brother Gan and I are old acquaintances. After tonight, my wish will be fulfilled, and I will never appear in front of my lady again." Sun Xuexiao said decisively.
After another long silence, the Huakui Mao lady smiled softly: "This younger sister is really refreshing, I like my elder sister, not because of your 1000 taels of silver, but because of your refreshing energy, my elder sister There are also people who like..."
Sun Xuexiao was a little anxious: "Sister... I don't have much time..."
Madam Mao smiled and said, "I know sister, you are anxious to spend the spring evening with your sweetheart, but there is one more thing I have to ask, sister, will you?"
There was another silence, whether it was because of embarrassment or something else, Sun Xuexiao didn't speak.Mrs. Mao laughed again: "Forget it, don't tease this sister anymore, I still have something to tell you clearly, although Mr. Gan Lang often comes to us for drinks and dinners, and spends a lot of money on our sisters, but he never Spending the night with one, you know what I mean?"
Sun Xuexiao was obviously a little surprised: "What?"
Mrs. Mao said: "We sisters in Jiaofang all know that Mr. Gan Lang must have a sweetheart in his heart. Every time he comes, he just drinks. After drinking, he sharpens his knife. After sharpening his knife, he falls asleep after getting drunk. "
Sun Xuexiao was silent for a long time: "Thank you sister for letting me know... Please go out."
Mrs. Mao smiled softly: "Thinking about it, my sister is the one in Gan Langjun's heart. I wish the lovers will get married tonight, so that my sister will not be delayed-there is wine on the table for fun, which is harmless to the body. Yes. If not, there is a fire avoidance map on the bedside drawer, my sister can see for herself."
The door closed softly, and the room fell into silence.
Wei Fanjun and Zhu Rufeng looked at each other, but they dared not speak out.
Only Lich asked Xiao Yan softly: "Aren't you going in? This room is connected to theirs. You go inside. There is a small door behind the screen."
Gan Rulin has a strong evil spirit, which is extremely delicious food in Wu Yunduo's eyes, so he followed Gan Rulin all the way, but he happened to meet Sun Xuexiao.Wu Yunduo formed a pact with the Lich, and they can communicate instantly. The Lich was only surprised, but felt that she was Xiao Yan's fiancée, so he should know.
Xiao Yan replied in his heart: "She did it voluntarily." Xiao Yan thought in his heart, my cousin is three years older than me, and has already known love. Thinking about such things, she can make a well-behaved lady so confused and bold. , the beauty of a gentleman's adulthood, at worst, I will find a way to make them lovers, and let them be a good couple.
But he heard a rustle inside, Xiao Yan always kept his etiquette, and only said to Lich in his heart: "Let's go back."
The Lich didn't say anything, Xiao Yan turned his head and was about to leave the room, but suddenly heard Sun Xuexiao yelled softly in the room, and then the sound of a teacup falling to the ground.
Xiao Yan was startled, pressed the door and didn't move, but heard a man's voice inside: "Miss Sun."
Sun Xuexiao's voice was a little flustered, and she pretended to be calm: "Brother Gan...are you drunk?"
Gan Rulin's voice was indifferent: "Miss Sun will be the lord of the six palaces, mother of the world, what are you doing here? Why don't you leave quickly, so as not to tarnish your reputation."
Sun Xuexiao was silent for a while, her voice trembling slightly: "The palace sent two female officials to my side to discipline me. Tonight, I have the chance to come out only when they are drunk. I will never have the chance to see you again, tonight It's the last time I see you, or maybe it's just this time in this life, are you still going to talk to me like this? Let me think of what you said to me on the last night for the rest of my life, is that what you mean?"
After a long silence, Gan Rulin finally spoke: "Miss, please go back. What you want to say, Gan has made it clear to the lady last time. Gan Rulin is an executioner who has beheaded countless heads. People hate ghosts. I am a scum, eating, drinking and whoring." Bet, everything is involved, I am still a life-defying one. I am against my wife, my father and my mother, my wife and my son. I am doomed to have no offspring in this life, and whoever marries me will die. Miss don't have to worry about such a scumbag anymore. "
Sun Xuexiao's voice trembled slightly: "Ms. Mao said, you have come to Huayue Pavilion so many times, and you have never really spent the night with the girl! You just sharpen the knife! That is the knife I gave you! You have me in your heart! Gan Rulin! You You're a coward! I let you take me away, let's go together! The world is so big, I am willing to eat chaff with you, but you don't want to take me away! Why can't you even give me this night?"
Sun Xuexiao's voice was choked with sobs: "Do you know what life is like in the palace? You don't know at all, you don't care, you think you are doing it for my own good? But I don't care either! I don't want to live like this for the rest of my life, Gan Rulin, you It's a coward!"
After a long time, Gan Rulin finally sighed: "Let's go, don't be stupid, there will be a body check in the palace, don't hurt yourself, you are too young, I don't know what, but I saved you once a few years ago. You don't know what an executioner is, you don't know what life is like for ordinary people, you don't know what you're giving up, you're smart enough to go to the palace and you'll be fine. Queens and executioners, that's not It's just the difference between cloud and mud, there is absolutely no chance of intersecting in this life. When you grow up...you will know that you are acting stupid now, and I will send you back to Cheng Enhou's residence."
Sun Xuexiao cried louder and louder, like a willful child who couldn't get sweets, and kept silent inside.
And Wei Fanjun and Zhu Rufeng at the side finally realized that the young lady inside was actually the daughter of Cheng Enhou's mansion, the future queen!
Wei Fanjun was horrified, and looked at Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan's face was still sinking, Wei Fanjun stabbed Zhu Rufeng again, Zhu Rufeng only held his wobbling hand with his backhand to prevent him from making any noise , just listened with bated breath.
Seeing that the crying inside gradually became smaller, Sun Xuexiao seemed to calm down gradually, as if she finally knew that tonight was impossible, Gan Rulin said: "I'll ask someone to hire a sedan chair to stop at the door, you go back."
Sun Xuexiao finally stood up and seemed to be arranging her clothes. She could hear the rustling and ringing of hairpins. Finally, Sun Xuexiao spoke in a nasal voice: "Seeing each other is like not seeing each other. Love seems ruthless. Gan Rulin, you don't know what you missed. What is it, you will regret it in the future, you will regret it very much."
Gan Rulin remained silent.
Seeing each other is like not seeing each other, how can it be ruthless to be affectionate.
But Lich suddenly spoke in Xiao Yan's heart: "Someone is coming."
Xiao Yan raised his head slightly, only to hear the door being pushed open suddenly, and Madam Mao's voice flustered: "It's bad, there are guards all under Huayue Pavilion! It seems to belong to the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion, and they said they were looking for a fugitive slave, and surrounded them all." They are not allowed to enter or leave, and they are searching room by room!"
Sun Xuexiao was slightly flustered: "Could it be... Could it be that the coachman I hired just now leaked his whereabouts..."
Gan Rulin said decisively: "Go through the window, I'll jump off with you on my back, don't be afraid."
Madam Mao said: "No way! The whole enclosure is closed, and the windows are full of people, including archers!"
The house was quiet, and Sun Xuexiao tremblingly said: "I'll go down by myself, Mrs. Mao, you and Big Brother Gan, don't say anything, don't say you've seen me..."
Gan Rulin said: "No way! Then you will lose your reputation. I will take you into hiding."
Sun Xuexiao seemed to laugh: "It's nothing, the Marquis of Cheng'en will only say that they are escaped slaves. They want to keep the honor of the Marquis, so how could they say so?"
Gan Rulin said coldly: "I know what your family is doing, they really won't say it, but they will lock you up in the family temple or send you to Zhuangzi, and they will definitely not send you back to the palace. Also ruined."
Sun Xuexiao said in a low voice: "In this way, are you willing to leave with me?"
Gan Rulin: "I'll find an opportunity to take the hostages and kill them, and then set them on fire. Madam Mao, you take her and run out in fright just pretending to be the ladies in the building."
Sun Xuexiao's heart pounded: "No! You will die if they catch you!"
Gan Rulin said: "My life is hard. Besides, setting fire will cause chaos. Take advantage of the chaos and do something. It's okay. I use the knife well, and they can't catch me."
Sun Xuexiao: "...No way!"
The commotion outside was getting louder and louder. The doors of one room after another were opened one after another. Some guests and women were rushed up and searched. Almost all the corridors were full of people.
Zhu Rufeng pressed his sword and looked at Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan waved his hand slightly, Wei Fanjun was so nervous that he didn't dare to show his breath, he only held onto Zhu Rufeng's arm tightly.
Hearing the sound of a search, he soon arrived at the door next door, but the door was pushed open, and he heard the sound of swishing, and the guard who searched seemed to be startled: "Come here! There are assassins! There are knives!"
I only heard the sound of the knife swishing, the guards were forced back a few times, and the door was closed with a bang!
The guards ran over quickly from the outside, there were countless footsteps, and someone came to push the door of their room. Zhu Rufeng pressed the door, but he saw that the door was not moving at all, but he couldn't see the dark clouds hanging over the door. Finally, Youyou stared at the door, fortunately the other party didn't feel anxious if he couldn't push it, so they all gathered in front of the next door, only to hear heavy footsteps, someone asked about the situation in a low voice, and soon there were footsteps again, Someone called: "Master Hou!"
Cheng Enhou Sun Heng's voice sounded: "What's the situation?"
Someone reported: "When we searched this room, there was a tall and tall man inside who wielded a knife very quickly. After a few knives, he forced the man out and closed the door."
Cheng Enhou asked: "Have you searched elsewhere?"
Someone replied: "After searching everything, only this one is left."
Cheng Enhou said coldly: "Break the door! The other side of the window is also eye-catching. The archers are ready, but if they see people jump, they will shoot without mercy."
A group of guards shouted in unison.
There was only the sound of someone banging heavily on the door, and suddenly there was another sound of running eagerly outside, as if another group of people had arrived.
First, a man's voice sounded: "Master Sun? I don't know why Master Sun came to my Zhuangzi at night? How did you mobilize people like this?" Then Princess Duanrou's voice also sounded: "It's midnight, it's frightening! This is such a grand pomp and prestige for Lord Sun Hou, my son-in-law and I, with just this bit of property, is it worth being sought by the former uncle of the country and the future father-in-law of the country?"
Marquis Cheng En: "I have seen the eldest princess and the son-in-law. The princess misunderstood. It turned out that a servant girl in my mansion co-operated with outside thieves and stole the objects given by the emperor and escaped. Originally, it is not a big deal for me to lose something, but the emperor It is impossible to lose the gift, so I chased and fled overnight. There was evidence from the driver that the maid and the friend escaped here, and the matter was urgent. The guards also saw it just now. The man inside is very good at swordsmanship. Tall and burly, with strong arms, the princess cut off the bronze spear immediately after seeing this knife, and forced the guards in my mansion to retreat, so it must be a vicious person, I ask the princess and son-in-law to forgive me."
The eldest princess Duanrou said: "Master Hou! In this capital, people use nothing more than the name of concealing stolen goods, sheltering thieves, hiding weapons, and even defiling people to rebel. Do we see too little? Zhuang, it has been in business for several years, and it is considered to have some climate. In the middle of the night, Hou Ye led a large group of people, showed the momentum of ransacking the house and arresting people, drove away the guests, and then said that I was hiding thieves and concealing stolen goods. Sword skills, stealing is still a gift from the imperial court! This crime is really serious!"
Cheng Enhou was a little speechless and impatient: "I'm telling the truth. Everyone here can testify that there is indeed a villain who is good at swordsmanship. Princess, wait patiently. I will order someone to break in and catch him out." , you will know at the first trial."
Princess Duanrou sneered: "Aren't all the people here from Lord Hou? How do you know that the ones hidden there are also the people sent by Lord Hou? Otherwise, why are everyone drinking and watching operas, singing and dancing? Why is it that as soon as Lord Hou's people came, there came out a vicious Jiangyang thief who stole the imperial gifts?"
"I will buckle it up and send it to Dali Temple, and tomorrow I will insist that it was ordered by my son-in-law and me. If some kind of weapon and dragon clothes are found again, tomorrow, my son-in-law and I should go to the imperial prison?" Should this Lvyangzhuang be handed over to Master Hou to show his innocence? Master Zhang is really a good planner!"
The blue veins on Marquis Cheng En's forehead popped up. With a glance, he saw that many guests below were driven out in the hall just now, and they all heard them clearly, so he could only cup his hands and said, "Princess, I am serious, there is absolutely no such thing, they are just ordinary thieves. .”
Princess Duanrou said in a loud voice: "I will cry in front of the late emperor tomorrow! The emperor has not yet ruled in person, and someone has not yet become the head of the country, so I can't wait to plan the property of the emperor's family! I You know, Marquis Cheng En is majestic and full of fear. I am just a princess who has passed away and has no power and no power. Since Marquis Cheng En has taken a fancy to this property, then my son-in-law and I should hold the deed with both hands immediately. That's right, it's just Marquis, don't push people to the limit. The son-in-law was originally the young minister of Dali Temple, but the empress dowager saw that I was not going well, so she dismissed him from his position for no reason. Woolen cloth?"
"It's just that the son-in-law is at home now, and our husband and wife only rely on this little property to make a living, but it's a little prosperous, so I want to reach out for it? Do you want to show some face?"
Cheng Enhou saw that Princess Duanrou even involved the Queen Mother, and became more irritable: "Princess, I have already said that there was a misunderstanding. As long as the princess is convenient, we will go in and catch the fugitive slave and come out. I promise to leave immediately. Sun Heng can swear a poisonous oath to the sky, and he has no desire to covet your property, if he wants to covet your property, he will be struck by lightning, and he will die!"
Princess Duanrou chuckled: "Master Hou swears this poisonous oath really smoothly, does it seem like you swear often?"
Marquis Chengen was impatient when she heard her eccentricity, but Prince Ouyang said: "Princess, be patient, I think we may have wronged Lord Hou, maybe Lord Hou really caught a thief and escaped from slavery, this imperial gift, what a shame! Importantly, there are such villains in the capital, and it is really disturbing, we should cooperate well."
Cheng Enhou held back his breath and said: "My son-in-law is deeply aware of righteousness."
Princess Duanrou said tenderly: "You are right, husband, I will listen to you."
Ouyang concubine said: "It's just that you know, Lord Hou, after all, the eldest princess is a relative of the emperor, and this Zhuangzi is also my Zhuangzi. It must be very important for Hou Ye to catch the thief who stole the imperial gifts. We can’t let the culprits run away. We, a royal family member, a relative of the state, who harassed the people with such a big fanfare to search houses and villages tonight, will be censored by the imperial censor tomorrow, and the empress dowager’s face will not look good at that time, Lord Hou said yes neither?
Cheng Enhou said angrily: "Then what do you think the son-in-law should do now?"
Ouyang concubine said with a smile: "It's easy to handle. I think now that the two families are here and the surrounding area is so impenetrable, I think the burglars will not be able to get away in a while. Why don't we send someone to arrest Jingzhaofu Yin and Wucheng soldiers?" General Ma Si, please come here. It is their duty to solve cases and catch thieves. Please bring the police and soldiers over to arrest and arrest the criminals. The Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Jingzhao Mansion will conduct a joint trial. In this way, it will be fair and upright, and no one will be able to say anything. The princess and I can rest assured that Lord Hou is not afraid of losing the imperial gifts if he gets the thief. Are you okay?"
Cheng Enhou: ...
When the Wucheng Bingmasi and Jingzhao Mansion come, if they really find out their daughter from this room, tomorrow the whole capital will know that the prostitute of the Cheng Enhou Mansion is a shame that the future queen elopes to a brothel in the middle of the night!
