Chapter 88 Aunt and Miss Wang’s fight

On the dark passage and outside the fence, the elder brother in the middle of the silence stood there, squinting his eyes and squinting at him.

Xu Erlang's eyes suddenly lit up, he stood up from the straw mat, and the shackles were walking with him, making a clatter.

Why did you come in?Can Shangshu Sun let you in?Xu Xinnian was both unexpected and surprising.

Seeing this, Xu Qian calmly withdrew his gaze and let out a breath: It seems that it is just a skin trauma.

Then, he glanced at the prison guard and said coldly: Go back.

The jailer left with tactfulness.

Xu Xinnian "spit" and said: These dogs are so whipping that they hurt.

Is Erlang complaining to me? Xu Qi'an nodded: Don't worry, my brother will find a way to save you.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xinnian waved his hand, interrupted him, and emphasized: Brother, you may not be sure that this matter itself is not a fraud in the imperial examination, but a conflict between the Imperial College and Yunlu Academy.

No, I know clearly... Xu Qian said with sincerity.

But Xu Erlang did not give him a chance to speak, and he kept talking, his voice full of energy, and he was indeed suffering from some skin injuries.

In fact, I had a long time ago. With Yunlu Academy students, how could they be so easy to be so easy?But I am not afraid. If the academy wants to return to the court and expand its power, there needs to be someone to take the lead and someone to pave the way for those who come back.Xu Xinnian said in a deep voice:

And I am the one who opens the corridor.

Erlang Ah, people don’t admire the first person to open the corridor. What people really admire is the person who expanded the corridor... Xu Qi'an said:

You continue.

In fact, I have come up with a solution in prison. Haha, after all, the intrigue in the court is still the one I know most at home.

Xu Xinnian proudly raised his chin and continued: The great scholar in the academy could not intervene in the court with white clothes.But Wei Yuan can, go and ask Wei Yuan, I don’t ask him to help me get rid of my crime immediately. That would be too difficult and would definitely hurt my muscles, because this is equivalent to going to war with all civil officials.

My request is to eliminate fame and fortune, but retain the power of the imperial examination.Or, after I was detained in the palace examination, I would take the imperial examination again in three years.

The main purpose of civil servants from the Imperial College was to suppress Yunlu Academy, not me.

After saying that, seeing the eldest brother being stunned, Xu Erlang sighed: Yes, for the eldest brother, these are indeed a bit difficult to understand. You just need to do what I said.

Even though I am in prison, I can still plan my own strategy.

Erlang Ah, do you think you are on the eighteenth floor, but in fact you are on the surface of the earth... Xu Qi'an coughed and said: Brother, I have different opinions here.

Xu Xinnian was stunned and nodded modestly: You said.

At this moment, Xu Qi'an told Xu Erlang what Wei Yuan analyzed, "Shot Three Eagles" to him, and so the prison cell fell into a long silence.

So that's it. It turns out that there is such a complex context behind this case. I, am I finished?Xu Erlang looked like he was hit hard.

I don’t know if it’s because I have no hope of getting out or because my analysis is too superficial, which is inconsistent with his own thinking of being the king.

Don't worry, my brother will try his best to save you.Xu Qian comforted this way.

This is the dungeon of the Ministry of Justice, and it is not suitable to say too much.

Xu Xinnian laughed bitterly.

……

Farewell to Xu Xinnian, Xu Qi'an left the Ministry of Justice and planned to go home to comfort his sister and aunt. After most of the day, he had been traveling outside. The two women in the family were afraid that they were scared until now.

From afar, I heard my aunt's crying from the hall: Why haven't Dalang come back yet? Erlang was locked in the Ministry of Justice. I don't know how much suffering I will suffer. At least I will give you a letter...

Xu Lingyue comforted: Mom, my elder brother must be running around to clear the relationship. Don’t worry, it’s time to disperse the dusk, and I will tell you when the time comes back.

How long will it take to wait? Every quarter of an hour passed, my mother is suffering.My aunt cried:

Haven't you heard your father say that Dalang went to the Ministry of Justice to ask for someone. Not only did he not see Erlang, he was also humiliated.

Then, Xu Pingzhi's sigh.

Although my aunt was petty and thought she was cute at such a young age, she did not insult her second uncle at this time and could not save her son. This is probably the reason why my second uncle was so spoiled... Xu Qi'an suddenly discovered this detail that he had not noticed before.

Ahem!

Xu Qi'an entered the inner court and coughed, attracting the attention of his family.

Xu Lingyue, who was obviously very calm just now, had tears in her eyes instantly. She looked at Xu Qi'an, silently choking.

Seeing this, Xu Qi'an had to comfort her first and pat her shoulders: Don't worry.

Xu Lingyue shouted softly: Big brother...

Then she was covered by her aunt's high decibel sound, and her eyes suddenly lit up, grabbed Xu Qi'an's sleeve, and looked at him nervously.Crying:

Ning Yan, Erlang, how is he doing?You should find a way to save him, you are the only one in the family who can save him.

Xu Pingzhi sighed: The Minister of Justice is determined to take revenge. What should you do if Dalang wants to do? Be humiliated by him again?

The light in my aunt's eyes suddenly dimmed and tears burst out.Xu Qian patted his aunt's little hand, then patted the girl's little hand, and comforted: I saw Erlang, he was very good, he was not injured.

My aunt didn't believe it, and her bright eyes stared at her nephew and sniffed: Dalang, don't lie to me.

Xu Lingyue was both expectant and nervous, looking at her elder brother.That was the hope of a sister for her elder brother.

Xu Qi'an swept over his family and said: I invited Mr. Wei and Princess to put pressure on Mr. Sun.He didn't dare to torture Erlang, don't worry.

If Mr. Wei and the princess took action, Erlang would not have suffered a huge torture in prison... Dalang is Mr. Wei's confidant, which is not surprising, but he can actually let the princess intervene in this case... Unexpectedly, Dalang has such a deep friendship with the eldest princess.

Xu Pingzhi sighed in his heart. Before he knew it, his nephew's connections were so huge that he could look up to him.

It’s great to have Ning Yan here, it’s always reassuring... The big rock in my aunt’s heart slowly falls.

Xu Lingyue pursed her lips, her eyes shiny.My elder brother never let her down.

Actually, I kidnapped Sun Shangshu's son, but he had no evidence.

There is nothing to do with me.

I just told him not to be punished.

For Shangshu Sun, this is a small thing that can be done.

And compared to killing the death of his son, he cares more about his life.

Although it is a breaking the rules, a good grasp of the standards can minimize the impact of things.

Besides, Shangshu Sun did not have any evidence, and he Xu Qi'an arrested him.Si Tianjian’s qi-seeking technique is even less afraid.

In the case of Princess Pingyang, King Yu had no evidence, and his daughter disappeared for no reason, and he didn't even know who the enemy was.

Of course, after the incident, the price paid by the Liang Party was to be executed.

As long as the results are good, even if the rules written in the Dafeng Law are taken, some people will take risks, let alone the unspoken rules!

At this point, Xu Qi'an looked at Lina and Xu Lingyin who were sitting aside eating pastries without any heart and said: Don't go out today. Lina, during the day, the safety of the women in the house depends on you.

OK!Lina agreed immediately.

Although this little Hei Pi is not very smart, she can beat Ah... Xu Qi'an is quite relieved about her.

As for being isolated in the officialdom, not to mention whether Sun Shangshu would spread this matter, even if it spreads it, he was not afraid. As Wei Yuan’s confidant, he had too many enemies.

Still afraid of being isolated?

Xu Qi'an is not a scholar who wants to go on a career in the official career. He is fighting against others, and the two are of different natures.The former requires reputation and official recognition.

And fighting against others is not necessary.Wei Yuan is there, he is there, Wei Yuan is there, he is there, he is gone.

Xu Pingzhi opened his mouth and did not express his opinion. He felt disappointed and relieved. What he was relieved was that his nephew had grown up and was no longer the boy who had let him pat the back of his head.

Unfortunately, I could never take a picture of the back of the boy's head again.

My aunt cried with joy and held Xu Qi'an's hand: Dalang, you are the most promising at home, so I will not waste my efforts to train you to grow up.

No, aunt, do you really feel your conscience hurt?Xu Qi'an said in confusion.

My aunt, who suddenly felt clear, had the leisure to vent her anger with Xu Lingyin. She poked her forehead with her fingers and said angrily: I know what the use of eating, it’s better to give birth to a mouse than to give birth to a mouse.

Mom, I'm hungry.Xu Lingyin raised her little face and said aggrievedly.

When did you get full?My aunt was so sorry that my dear brother was in trouble, and you are still eating here.Heartless thing.

Xu Lingyin glanced at Xu Qi'an: The big pot is fine, my mother just doesn't want to give me food, and then she hides it alone and steals it.

My aunt shook her body in anger.

Xu Qi'an, Xu Lingyue and Xu Pingzhi were a little embarrassed.

Lina poked her eating companion’s waist and whispered: You have another brother.

Xu Lingyin thought about it and found that she did have an older brother. She immediately started crying and the pastry in her mouth fell down.

While picking up the pastry that fell on her clothes and legs and stuffing it back into her mouth, she cried: Is the second brother dead too? I don’t want the second brother to die, ÁÁÁ…

At this time, the concierge Lao Zhang came in and said: There is a girl outside who said she wanted to meet Miss Lingyue.

The family immediately looked at Xu Lingyue.

The latter frowned slightly. What's the girl from which family wants me to do?

The concierge Lao Zhang shook his head.

Please ask her to come in.Xu Lingyue said.

Suddenly, the concierge Lao Zhang led a pretty girl in a pink skirt. She was wearing a maid's bun, but the fabric she wore was better than that of an ordinary rich lady.

It's you?Xu Lingyue recognized her and looked shocked.

My maid is Lan'er. Miss wants to visit Miss Lingyue today. I wonder if Miss Lingyue has free time today?The pretty maid who calls herself Lan'er bows.

This is the daughter of the Shoufu Wang and the maid beside Miss Wang Simu.Xu Lingyue explained.

She believed that with her elder brother's wisdom, she would definitely be able to hear the hidden meaning.

Wang Zhenwen’s daughter’s maid? What did she send someone to the mansion to do to mock her? Because of Erlang's influence, Xu Qi'an also felt that Wang Simu was gloating and wasting his mistakes.

Suddenly I was a little annoyed.

A mere woman is so arrogant... I am a new era human being who firmly implements the idea of ​​equality between men and women. I will not be ruthless when tearing green tea... Xu Qi'an snorted coldly in his heart.

If you have something to do today, I will visit you another day.Xu Lingyue said lightly, her eyes suddenly sharp: Please go back and tell Sister Wang that I like her very much, and I will definitely communicate with her at that time.

But the next moment, the sharp and restrained eyes turned into a weak and weak sister, and said with tears in my eyes: Big brother, if you have something to do, please do it first, and I'll ask you for your second brother's business.

Xu Qi'an was about to nod when he heard Miss Lan'er look nervous and asked: What's wrong with Xu Huiyuan?

The brother and sister ignored her and had a cold face. The aunt suddenly said:

Is your lady the daughter of Shoufu Wang?That was really great. My Erlang was killed by a dog thief who was slandered the imperial examination and cheated, and was detained in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Girl, can you please help Erlang for me?

Xu Qi'an and Xu Lingyue looked at their aunt with stiff faces.

Is this mother (aunt) really not smart at all?

If you are in a hurry to seek medical treatment, you cannot surrender to the enemy. You still think that you are not dying fast enough, so you should ask others to make up for it?

Xu Qi'an said coldly with a dark face: Miss Lan'er, I won't give it to you.

Miss Lan'er said goodbye with a worried expression.

……

Wang Simu sat in the soft collapse of the spacious carriage, sometimes lifting up the curtains of the car window and looking outside, sometimes paying attention to the teapot licking the bottom of the orange charcoal fire.

It fully reflects Ms. Wang's inner anxiety.

More than half an hour passed, and Lan'er's dead girl had not come back yet, so the people waiting were the most uncomfortable.

If the Miss Xu family refuses her visit, it probably means the Xu family and the Xu Xinnian.

Then do I continue to visit?Or retreat?

The latter made her unwilling to accept it. For the former... she is an unmarried woman after all, the chief assistant daughter, so she needs shame and reputation no matter how she is. She is embarrassed to continue to visit her door.

As the thoughts flashed, she raised the curtain and looked at it, and was surprised to find Lan'er's carriage.

The carriage slowly stopped, and the maid Lan'er jumped out of the car flexibly, trotted over, climbed onto the tall carriage, and pushed open the car door and came in.

Damn girl, when is it time to come back so late?The upset Wang Simu said angrily.

She took a deep breath and asked: What did Miss Xu say?

Lan'er shook her head.

Wang Simu's face suddenly collapsed, and the light in her eyes dimmed instantly.

At this time, she saw Lan'er swallowing, gasping for a while, and said: Miss, something big is wrong. Xu Huiyuan was arrested by the Ministry of Justice for fraud in the imperial examination.

What?

Wang Simu was mixed with feelings when she heard this news. The first ones came were shock and worry, worrying about the future and safety of the New Year.

Then there was a hint of joy.

It turned out that he had never been to the appointment, not because he was unintentional to me, but because he was arrested by the Ministry of Justice and could not get out.

I blamed him wrongly.

At this moment, Lan'er passed on the entire story of Xu's mansion to Miss Wang, including Xu Qi'an's cold attitude and Xu Lingyue's alienated attitude.

Shangshu Sun of the Ministry of Justice and my father are accomplices. Do they think this is my father leading the way behind the scenes?If it was really my father's secret push, then wouldn't I... Wang Simu felt bitter in her heart.

Lan'er said angrily: Humph, your attitude is so bad, and you want you to save Xu Huiyuan. The Xu family is so shameless.

Wang Simu frowned and spoke well.After a pause, she looked serious and said: Is it Xu Qi'an's request?

It’s not right. I only met Xu Huiyuan once and only spoke a few words.Then Xu Qi'an is a smart person, how could he ask me, the daughter of the King, to help me?

He couldn't know what I was thinking, even his father didn't know.

The clever Ms. Wang immediately felt the clue.

Lan'er shook her head: It was the mistress of the Xu family who was the one we saw that day, and it was a pretty beautiful woman.

The request of the mistress of the Xu family...

Wang Simu's face became serious again, actively using her brain, pondering, and analyzing...

She is Xu Huiyuan's mother. When she encounters such a thing, she will definitely have a very bad view of me and the Wang family. Why do she ask me for help?

A woman who can teach a scheming daughter, an unparalleled nephew, and a talented son is by no means an ordinary person.

I have to think about it carefully, think about it carefully, and not be careless...

Lan'er, that mistress, did you scold me, or my father?What is her attitude?Wang Simu asked.

Her whole family has the best attitude and is very sincere when requesting.Lan'er said.

This... Wang Simu opened her eyes wide and had corresponding guesses in her heart.

The first time I invited Xu Huiyuan to a literary meeting in my father's name, there was no problem in this, but I invited Xu Huiyuan to visit the lake in a very short time... And a careless man may not think too much about the matter of visiting the lake, but as a woman and a woman with extraordinary wisdom, she cannot notice it at all.

Even if I don’t confirm my feelings, I can still make some guesses... So, is this a test and an opportunity?

She was not disgusted with me, and she did not become hostile or disgusted just because I was the daughter of the Wang family.

She is showing her attitude and showing it to me.

Then, the mistress of the Xu family made this request through Lan'er...

It's a hint to me.

Sure enough, this mistress of the Xu family is a very wise person... She is the only one in the family who sees through my feelings... Wang Simu clenched her fists tightly, and her delicate body was a little trembling.

At the same time, there is also the excitement of meeting the opponent.

Lan'er, go to the imperial city, I want to go to the yamen to find my father.Wang Simu said word by word.
