Yangcheng

Don't tell Tang Jianwei, I have my own way.

Tong Shaoxuan was confessed to Tong Shaoqian by the Yamen people before leaving.

Tong Shaoqian watched his younger sister being taken away, and was so anxious that he immediately asked Uncle Chai to inform Ye Niang to return to the house as soon as possible.

"Brother, don't you have acquaintances in the yamen? No matter what, go to them for help! I'll go to Ge Xunqing and ask her to ask her, Aye, for help!"

"Okay!" Tong Boyi has already rushed to pick up the horse, "Let's split up!"

Ji Xue was going to find Tang Jianwei, but was held back by Tong Shaoqian.

"Ah Nian said don't tell Tang Sanniang about this."

"But!"

"Listen to Ah Nian." Tong Shaoqian's face was stern and anxious, "Since she explained it like this, she must have her reasons."

When Tang Jianwei and Zitan came back from closing the stall, they found that the Tongfu was surprisingly quiet.

The house slaves who used to be busy in the past are gone now, not even Qiu Xin.

Tang Guanqiu sat alone on the stone bench in the west courtyard and read a book. Seeing Tang Jianwei and the others came back, he did not show the usual happy smile. He immediately put down the book and went up to her and said:

"Aniang, a group of soldiers came here just now. I wonder if Shen Yue committed a crime and alarmed the court!"

What Tang Guanqiu said was as confusing as always, but Tang Jianwei found some key words from it:

"Soldier? Here?"

"Yeah, I even took people away!"

"Who was taken away?"

This question seemed to stump Tang Guanqiu.

When Hu Erlang and others came to fetch him, Tang Guanqiu heard the movement, and hid in the dark to see the whole process.

She saw Tong Shaoxuan being taken away with her own eyes, and now she asked her, but she couldn't remember who was taken away.

Seeing her meditating silently, Tang Jianwei, who has been communicating with her for a long time, can slightly grasp the rules of her thoughts and guide patiently:

"Did you take away the person in the opposite yard?"

Tang Guanqiu nodded as if waking up from a dream: "Yes!"

Hearing this, it was impossible for Tang Jianwei not to panic.

In the woods, she obviously escaped by the sound of frightened birds, the county magistrate and Hu Erlang must have not found her, she is very sure about this matter.

Then why did he find the Tong family again so quickly?

Could it be...

Like thunder piercing through his heart, Tang Jianwei immediately went to touch the key at his waist, and found that the key hanging at his waist was gone!

It was not a bunch of keys, but only one, which was the key to the west courtyard of Tongfu that Song Qiao gave her.

Because there is only a single handle, and it usually hangs on the body without making any noise, Tang Jianwei seldom remembers its existence.

Unexpectedly, it was lost!

Tang Jian was very frustrated.

The flying birds she fanned frightened the mysterious man in the county magistrate's cavalry. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Tang Jianwei heard the movement. The man should have been thrown straight by the startled horse, and even fell off his horse.

The county magistrate's sacrificial service was done so covertly that the mysterious person was mixed into the team even in the mountains and forests. The contents must not be known to outsiders.

Now that someone broke in halfway, if she was the county magistrate, she would have to find out who was behind the scenes!

Ye Niang's case had been left without clues for too long, which made her rush in impulsively as soon as she smelled something abnormal.

Although she escaped temporarily by virtue of her momentary cunning, she did not expect to leave evidence that implicates the Tong family!

It's no wonder that upon entering the Tong's Mansion and feeling that the atmosphere was not right, it turned out that something serious happened.

When the Tong family saw the key, they would know that it belonged to the west courtyard, and they would know that it was her who did it... Why didn't anyone come over to tell her about it? !

Thinking of this, Tang Jianwei became very anxious, held Tang Guanqiu's arm and said:

"Sister, did you see it? Who was taken away in the opposite yard? Is it the little lady who often talks to me?"

Tang Guanqiu recalled it for a while, and said in a daze, "The little lady in the pomegranate skirt is her, and she was taken away."

"Pomegranate skirt..." Tang Jianwei remembered that Tong Shaoxuan appeared at the Eldest Princess' Spring Gathering, and he was wearing a pomegranate skirt when she fainted from fright!

Tong Shaoxuan, was she really taken away?But shouldn't she be in the academy at this hour?

That's right... Today is her academy's day off every tenth day, and she is at home.

Did Tong Shaoxuan help her take the blame?

Why would she do this?

Tang Jianwei's forehead was covered with sweat, and he couldn't imagine what would happen if Tong Shaoxuan's fragile body was interrogated, or even locked in a cell.

I'm afraid it will cost half my life!

Tang Jianwei asked Zitan to take care of her sister at home, then turned around and walked towards the door.

Go to Yamen!

As soon as he walked to the screen wall at the door, he saw Tong Shaoxuan and a group of Tong's family members coming back.

Tang Jianwei let out a "Huh", and his mood, which was like a stormy sea, was frozen in an instant.

Is this back?

So... all right?

Tong Changting, who was walking in the front, looked at Tang Jianwei with indescribable eyes, as if he had a lot to say, and it was inconvenient to speak.

Not only him, but everyone in the Tong family.

Tang Jianwei didn't care about these gazes, his gaze went in between the crowd, and he firmly grasped the pale-faced Tong Shaoxuan.

Tong Shaoxuan said to Ye Niang and his brothers: "Go in first, I will have a few words with Tang Jianwei."

Tang Jianwei listened carefully to her voice, which seemed to be the same as usual.

So the county magistrate didn't embarrass her?But if nothing happened, why did Tong's family look as ugly as her?

Tong Shaoqian, who held Tong Shaoxuan's arm the whole time, didn't want to leave, and he didn't slacken his grip on her arm at all.

"Third sister, go." Tong Shaoxuan patted the back of her hand, Tong Shaoqian could only give up and let her go slowly.

Song Qiao was completely shrouded in anxiety, and didn't want to leave her daughter for a moment, but Tong Shaoxuan insisted again and again, so she had no choice but to signal everyone to leave first.

The Tong family passed by Tang Jianwei one by one, leaving only the two of them behind.

Tong Shaoxuan leaned against the screen wall and asked Tang Jianwei: "What's the matter, look at me like this, do I owe you money?"

Tang Jianwei saw that her face was pale, but she spoke quite freely, as if she had been punished by the county magistrate.

It seems that the first time he saw Tong Shaoxuan, Tong Shaoxuan's face was like this, like a white paper.

"The people in the yamen took you away because of the key, right?"

Tong Shaoxuan let out an "oh", and took off a piece of bamboo leaf beside him, and wrapped it around his fingertips: "So you really lost the key? Why, why don't you want to enter my Tong's house? It's for you." The keys are also casually thrown in the wilderness."

"No..." Tang Jianwei said truthfully, "I was careless and left it behind."

"Why are you following the county magistrate?" Tong Shaoxuan asked bluntly.

Tang Jianwei was silent for a while.

……

More than half an hour ago.

Tong Shaoxuan was brought to the inner hall of the yamen, and She County Magistrate sat on the high platform, with his arms open and pressing the wide desk, his head was tilted, and his sideways eyes were on Tong Shaoxuan's delicate face.

The Tong family waited anxiously outside the inner hall, but were stopped by the yamen servants and they were not allowed to enter.

"You lost the key?"

She County Magistrate's voice was calm, and his emotions could not be heard, but it was like a cloud of suffocating clouds, covering the inner hall, making people's ears buzzing.

Tong Shaoxuan bowed his hands and saluted him: "It's the grassroots."

"Oh? Then tell me, why are you following this county?"

Judging from She County Magistrate's tone, it seems that she doesn't believe that Tong Shaoxuan did this.

The eagle-eyed man was standing in another room, listening to the movement inside through the wall. At this time, he looked out and saw Tong Shaoxuan.

Tong Shaoxuan said: "Caomin is a student of Bailu Academy. He is on vacation today. When he has nothing to do, he likes to walk around and look for inspiration. Caomin didn't deliberately disturb the county lord. Please forgive me."

"Looking for inspiration? What kind of inspiration are you looking for in the barren hills?"

Tong Shaoxuan said in his heart, it turned out that he went to the mountains, that's just right.

Tong Shaoxuan answered eloquently: "Caomin always likes to study some ingenious games, sometimes they are flying wooden birds, sometimes they are ammunition and firearms. Grinding in the barren hills."

What she said is not a lie, but she doesn't often go to the mountains to stay alone, only when Tong Shaoqian is too noisy and she wants to find a quiet environment to walk the mechanism map.

Naturally, I would not go to the mountains on the outskirts of the city. The first choice is the place where the academy is located. At least there are clear springs and birds, so it won't be too scary.

But no matter what the mountain is, she is a well-known child prodigy in Su County. Everyone knows that she is followed by a little sheep that can move on its own all day long, and that there is a Xiang Yuesheng waiting to fly into the sky in her house.

Throughout the ages, anyone who is a genius must have some hobbies that are different from ordinary people. This is easy to understand. Drilling wild forests is the most common of these hobbies.

Tong Shaoxuan's words at his fingertips sound casual at first glance, it seems that there is no need to lie.

She County Magistrate asked again: "Since you are looking for inspiration in the mountains, why do you want to run away?"

"Escape?" Tong Shaoxuan felt that he asked strangely, "I didn't escape, but it's almost time for lunch, and my wife is still waiting for me at home, so I naturally have to go back soon. By the way, Uncle Hu , you also know that my wife is very good at handicrafts, right?"

Hu Erlang, who was standing aside, looked stern and did not answer her on the spot.

She County Magistrate asked again: "Look at you, you are so weak, even if you are rushing home, you can't run faster than a strong government official. How did you manage to disappear in an instant? If you don't have some skills, it is definitely impossible."

The smile on Tong Shaoxuan's face froze after Magistrate She asked this question.

She County Magistrate thought he had caught her sore foot, and raised his voice, "How can the court allow you to speak lies?! Tell the truth! Tell me!"

The county lieutenant and all the yamen servants shouted in unison: "Say!!"

The shocking movement in the inner hall shook Song Qiao's heart.

The Tong family stood outside and were blocked by the door and couldn't see anything. They were already anxious, but they became even more flustered when they heard these noises.

Tong Changting turned around anxiously, held his wife's hand, and said hoarsely with tears in his eyes:

"A Nian, is there anything wrong with A Nian? She has never suffered from this kind of suffering since she was a child!"

Song Qiao held her husband's hand, stroked his back, and helped him to relax.

Although Song Qiao also has 1 worries, she must hold on:

"Don't scare yourself first. Although we, Anian, haven't suffered like this, don't you understand your own daughter? Anian is very clever, and she also said that she has a way, you should believe her."

That's right, Tong Changting knew that the youngest girl in the family was very smart, not only good at making tricks, but also very clever, nothing could stop her.

But Tong Changting was worried, after all, this was his own daughter, with ten fingers connected to her heart.

Tong Shaoxuan looked directly at She County Magistrate, smiled back without fear, and waved his long sleeves in the direction of the yamen servant: "Is it difficult to run faster than them?"

She County Magistrate looked at her coldly: "Could it be that the little lady is still walking around?"

Tong Shaoxuan shook his head with a smile: "No, I don't compare my feet."

She County Magistrate laughed, but before he could speak again, he heard the lunatic say:

"I don't need to take a step with both legs, and I can sprint faster than these county government brothers."

When several yamen servants heard this, they all laughed out loud.

Tong Shaoxuan raised his eyebrows: "If you don't believe me, come and compete with me."

County Magistrate She looked at this little lady with slender arms and legs, black and white cheeks, and a sickly and delicate body that would collapse when the wind blows.

With such a physique, how can he compete with a strong man who practices martial arts every day?

She County Magistrate only took her as a casual joke.

Tong Shaoxuan was not just talking, she once again solemnly asked for a competition with the yamen servant: "If the little girl can run without moving her legs and beat the officials, can it prove that the little girl didn't intentionally bump into the county magistrate?"

She county magistrate did not answer her question.

Tong Shaoxuan said firmly: "Please send an official to compete with the little girl. If the little girl loses, let the county lord punish you, and never dare to complain!"

Tong Shaoxuan's words sounded humble, but they were actually full of provocation——

Do you dare to compete with me?

Magistrate She closed his eyes, opened them again, and said "OK".

"Tong Shaoxuan, right? This county has also heard about you. It is said that you have an excellent photographic memory. You can draw circles with your left hand and squares with your right hand. This is a rare talent in Su County. Today, let the county Open my eyes, let me see how the so-called natural genius can outperform others without moving his legs! Hu Erlang, come and compete with her!"

When Hu Erlang was named, he felt a little conflicted, but he could only accept it.

Tong Shaoxuan saluted Hu Erlang, and said to She County Magistrate: "Before the competition, please ask the little girl to bring some things from home."

How could She County magistrate let her go home?Only one person from Tong's family outside the door was called.

Song Qiao rushed into the inner hall, and immediately grabbed Tong Shaoxuan to look him up and down:

"A Nian, are you okay! Are you injured?"

Tong Shaoxuan shook his head and said: "No, Ma'am, don't worry, the county magistrate is just, and will not hurt good people for no reason. Ma'am, please go and bring me the book bag at home."

"Book bag? What do you want it for?"

"Aniang just go and get it. By the way, bring my toolbox along with you."

Song Qiao was puzzled, but she did as her daughter said so.

After taking the book bag and the toolbox to the yamen, Tong Shaoxuan dismantled the book bag in front of everyone, removed the box holding the books, and kept only the bottom plate with the wheels.

After she took the tools to modify the gear set, she picked up the bottom plate and said to She County Magistrate, "We can start the competition."

After taking Song Qiao out again, a group of people came to the backyard of the yamen, which is usually the place where the yamen servants practice. There are rice bags hanging on the trees, and there is a target in the distance, which is long enough to test the walking distance.

The county lieutenant drew two lines at the beginning and the end with his toes, and Hu Erlang and Tong Shaoxuan stood in front of the first line at the same time.

Whoever crosses the finish line first wins.

Hu Erlang glanced at Tong Shaoxuan, the little lady had no fear, as if she had already won the battle.

Magistrate She understood that she would stand on the wooden plank with wheels and use the rollers to move forward.

But if her legs don't move, how can she drive it?

It's not on a sloping road, you can roll down the slope, this is a solid flat ground.

While She County Magistrate was still puzzled, Tong Shaoxuan grabbed several handfuls of the little sheep's original tails, and then immediately stepped on the wooden board under his feet.

The wooden plank transformed by her seemed to be injected with life during these violent jerks, and it was crazily restless under her feet, as if it would rush out by itself at any time.

And Tong Shaoxuan stepped on it hard, trying his best to suppress it.

"Xianzun, you can start."

Tong Shaoxuan reminded She County Magistrate.

At this time, She County Magistrate already had a bad feeling.

When he gave an order, Hu Erlang rushed forward with all his strength, while Tong Shaoxuan stepped on the wooden board with both feet and released the wooden board. The wooden board was like a full-fledged arrow that immediately took Tong Shaoxuan flew out.

In the blink of an eye, he surpassed Hu Erlang!

Everyone who saw this scene was shocked and couldn't help but let out a low cry!

Tong Shaoxuan lowered his body and barely kept his balance. When he crossed the finish line, the wooden wheel was caught in the raised dirt pit, and Tong Shaoxuan fell out.

But she still won!

Tong Shaoxuan stood up in disgrace, and carefully patted off the dust on her favorite pomegranate skirt, and said to Uncle Hu who had just passed the finish line: "You lost."

She then turned to County Magistrate She and said, "The Caomin won, the county lord. In this way, it can be proved that the Caomin was just in a hurry to go home for dinner and did not mean to offend the county magistrate, right?"

All the yamen servants were whispering.

Many of them have seen Tong Shaoxuan follow her to the academy with a small wooden sheep behind her, and they also know that she is unparalleled in intelligence, but this is the first time they have seen her true ability.

A wooden plank plus four wheels, after some modification, it takes less than a stick of incense from the head to the tail, and it can have such a fast speed!It's a fight with galloping on a fierce horse!

She County Magistrate secretly recovered from the shock, and smiled:

"I didn't expect Tong Niangzi to have such an ability to turn decay into magic. This county has really opened my eyes."

Tong Shaoxuan was about to bow his hands and salute to him, thanking him for letting go, but he turned around and said sharply:

"But whether you did it intentionally or not, it is a fact that you offended the county! If the county allows you to act recklessly, how can you plan to bring order out of chaos in the future?! Come on, drag it down, and hit twenty big boards! "

Tong Shaoxuan didn't expect him to be so shameless: "You!"

The yamen servants looked at each other in blank dismay, but they did not expect the county magistrate to be so sneaky and shameless to bully this little lady.

For a while, the servants did not move, and She County Magistrate pointed at them:

"Why don't you move? Do you still want to reverse it?!"

"Yes!"

The yamen servants can't do anything about it. After all, they take the salary of the yamen and have to rely on this errand to support their families. The county magistrate can kick them out of the yamen with a word, so they can only obey.

Hanging Tong Shao with a stick to the inner hall, Tong's family members are still waiting outside, completely unaware that Yao Nu will be tortured!

"Fight!" She county magistrate personally supervised, not letting the yamen servants show mercy.

Hu Erlang's hand holding the stick was shaking.

It was obvious that She County Magistrate lost, yet he still refused to forgive him? !

Hu Erlang can't do it!

But if he doesn't do it, he will definitely lose his job.

His old mother's monthly drug money is almost running out, and he can't lose this job...

Tong Shaoxuan lay down on the ground calmly, looked sideways at Hu Erlang and said:

"Uncle Hu, you can do it. It's your duty to fight. I don't hold grudges against you."

Hu Erlang was almost brought to tears by her words, She County Magistrate stared at him, the yamen servants on the opposite side had already laid down, so he was the only one left.

Hu Erlang gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. After a fight, unexpectedly, he didn't hear Tong Shaoxuan's shout.

Tong Shaoxuan was hit by two big boards, breaking out in a cold sweat.

After a few more blows, each blow seemed to break her in two.

She clenched her teeth and almost crushed her ten fingers, and then went down a few more times, but finally couldn't hold back, and let out a muffled cry.

One stick after another, there was no room to breathe, and the blood was already bloody.

Trembling all over, Tong Shaoxuan's favorite pomegranate dress was stained with blood.

Hu Erlang's hands were already the lightest, and the yamen servants on the opposite side didn't really use their strength, but Tong Shaoxuan's body was too weak, even if the lightest force hit her, it was still beyond her tolerance.

At the end of the twenty big boards, she had lost her voice.

Hu Erlang was startled, and quickly sniffed her.

Scared to death, still alive!

Magistrate She cast a glance over and left.

Hu Erlang hurried out and called the Tong family.

Magistrate She went to the back room, saluted the eagle-eyed man, and said with a smile:

"Wei Chen relieved Your Excellency."

The eagle-eyed man didn't say anything, he glanced at the place where Tong Shao was hanging, and left.

The Tong family members came in and saw Young Master Tong lying in a pool of blood, all of them were so frightened that their legs went limp.

Tong Shaoqian's tears immediately rolled down like broken beads.

"A Nian...A Nian...don't scare mother!" Song Qiao's eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted to touch Tong Shaoxuan but didn't dare.

Tong Boyi was so furious that he grabbed Hu Erlang by the collar:

"What law did my sister commit?! How can you abuse lynching!"

Tong Shaoxuan moved his fingers, and said in a weak voice, "Brother... A Niang, Aye, sister... help me."

Hu Erlang didn't want to hide either, with a sad face as if he would let Tong Boyi do it, and would not fight back.

But Tong Boyi couldn't beat him anymore.

Pushing Hu Erlang away, Tong Boyi hurried to help his sister.

Finally, she was picked up and sent to the hospital.

When the doctor applied the medicine, he found that the skirt was stuck to the wound and could not be torn off at all.

Tong Shaoqian did not dare to look at the bloody scene, but Tong Shaoxuan, whose clothes were soaked in sweat, said:

"It's okay doctor, come here, I can bear it... go back after taking the medicine, Tang Jianwei is suspicious..."

……

At this time, Tong Shaoxuan and Tang Jianwei were face to face, and she stood here with her last breath, almost fainting, but Tang Jianwei didn't answer her question for a long time.

Why are you following the magistrate?

Is this question difficult to answer?

Is there any reason?

Forget it...

Tong Shaoxuan was on the verge of falling, gathered the shawl around his body, and hid the blood more concealed.

"If you don't want to say it, let's talk about it later. I'm a little tired, so I went back to rest."

With no one to support him, Tong Shaoxuan almost moved towards the east courtyard.

Every step she took was so painful that her limbs and bones were almost torn apart. She didn't know where she was, and she only hoped that Tang Jianwei would not see any flaws.

When she was about to fall, Song Qiao who had been standing by the side immediately came up to hug her.

Tang Jianwei took the first step and firmly protected her from behind.

"Why, you want to do this."

Tang Jianwei's tone was a little strange, not like any emotion Tong Shaoxuan had ever heard.

He is not happy, he is not in a position to win, and he seems to have no intentions.

She revealed her sad emotions thoroughly, and she was not afraid of anyone finding out.

"Why should you help me carry the crime? I don't want to implicate you."

Tang Jianwei's embrace was very warm and stable, and Tong Shaoxuan knew that with her in his arms, he would not fall even if he didn't use any strength.

"You have a home."

Tong Shaoxuan turned around slowly, facing Tang Jianwei.

Even though Tang Jian's slightly red eyes were full of tears and a little doubtful, they were still very beautiful and moving.

Tong Shaoxuan took out the interrupted Cuiyu hairpin from his arms, and handed it to Tang Jianwei:

"You have a family, this is your home... Tang Jianwei, I am your family."

Tong Shaoxuan's voice was so weak that it would shatter almost instantly, but Tang Jianwei understood.

I understand every word.

She took the green feather hairpin and stared at it carefully.

Even though the tears were streaming down uncontrollably, she still saw all the details of the Cui Yuzan clearly in a haze.

She has seen countless rare treasures, but there has never been one that is as dazzling and stunning as this broken hairpin.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tong Shaoxuan: If you accept my token, you will be my man from now on, so let's settle this matter.
