little son-in-law

A man in charge was waiting under the eaves of the gatehouse. When he saw a few people coming in, he glanced at Yun Sichuan for a while, stepped forward and beat him diligently, and said with a smile: "Master Yun, the master is here I'm waiting for you in the hall, you come with me."

As twilight sinks and the sunset glows in the west, the garden is sparsely populated with flowers and trees, and there is a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus. A few servants are already busy lighting the red lanterns hanging under the eaves.

The old man of the Tian family, sitting in the main seat in the hall, was wearing a soap-colored silk gown, with gray hair and a fat body, holding a yellow pear wood crutch with a crane's head in his hand. He raised his eyes to look at people, and his slender eyes were somewhat cloudy: " It turned out to be Nephew Yunxian. It's so late, what's the matter?"

"Old Master, I really dare not go to your old Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I really want to ask for something here today." Several people sat down on the chairs on both sides.The tea has been prepared for you, but there is only one cup, obviously it is only for Yun Sichuan.Yun Sichuan glanced at it, but didn't move.

The old man of the Tian family twirled the huge jade wrench on his index finger, raised his eyelids slightly, and said slowly, "Nephew Yun Xian has something to say, let's be straightforward. How can I say that your grandfather and I have known each other since we were young. Although in the end, I came to the same goal by different routes, I entered the court as an official, and he wandered around in the business market, but after all, we met once."

Yun Sichuan now has a little understanding in his heart. He has not seen Tian Zusheng once or twice. Although he used to be the servant of the household department of the fourth rank, the Yun family has no control outside, but in the boundary of Yunzhou, The members of the Yun family are a bit thin-skinned. The old man of the Tian family has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is also a well-informed person. Every time he sees Yun Sichuan, he is considered polite and thoughtful. It was so big and fast that he did not guess it, probably because he thought he had a bigger backer.

"Then I'll be blunt. I hope you don't think I'm being blunt. The thing is like this. This is my brother." Yun Sichuan gestured to Mo Nanjin who was beside him, Tian Zusheng didn't care, and his eyelids froze. Without lifting it, Yun Sichuan held a cold smile on his lips and continued: "Today, my brother's wife was kidnapped on the street. According to the description of passers-by, someone saw her entering the old man's back door with his own eyes. The purpose of coming here is to let the old man uphold justice and let my younger brother and sister return home as soon as possible."

"How could such a thing happen? It's absolutely impossible. Nephew Yunxian, don't talk nonsense here and slander the old man's reputation." The crutches hit the marble floor with a crisp sound.

"Old Master, I paid a special visit to you today out of respect for you. I will take him away no matter what." Yun Sichuan flicked his sleeves, stood up from his seat, his tone was cold and stern, and his face was as dark as water.

"you……"

"Master." The person in charge whispered something in his ear, and Tian Zusheng's face changed several times in a very short period of time.Reluctantly letting the stewards and servants around him help him up, he showed the first smile after everyone entered the door, although it was very far-fetched. "Nephew Yunxian, you are doing some housework in the backyard." Seeing the few maids waiting outside the hall, she said angrily, "Aren't you all doing nothing here? Why don't you give me a few minutes?" An honored guest watching tea, a group of people who don't look at each other." When he turned to Yun Sichuan again, he calmed down a bit: "Nephew, wait a moment, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Turning around a few corridors, the person in charge looked around, pushed away a small room nearby, sent a boy to guard the door, and helped the old man to sit down. Tian Zusheng was already sweating profusely, and he stretched out his hand to break the fan in charge: " In the end...what's going on? Huhu...you tell me quickly."

"It's such a master, I heard from Xiao Shun at the back door, today's princess," said here, and lowered his voice a little; "The guards who brought here did bring back two women before Yun Sichuan went to the door, and locked them in the backyard." inside."

"What?" Tian Zusheng shook his hand, and his crutches fell to the ground, "This is actually true? What should we do?"

"My lord, we can't afford to offend those royal guards. These people are close ministers on weekdays, and they hang around in front of the princes and nobles every day. Besides, the background of these young masters is not low. I can't guarantee that they belong to some adult. What about relatives? This young master is still an official in the capital, we can't mess with these people..."

The old man of the Tian family interrupted him with an irritated wave of his hand: "Okay, okay, I don't understand what you said about being a master, but look at the current situation, although we now have a princess and a son-in-law to support us. I can suppress it a little bit. The Yun family, but the Yun family has been operating in Yunzhou for many years, how can it be able to handle it in a short period of time." He sighed deeply: "You saw it in the hall just now, Yun Sichuan is not obstinate about this matter. Scratch, this matter is really going to cause trouble, even if the princess son-in-law is here, he will not be able to do anything for a while, but we are in the boundary of Yunzhou, and the quarrel with the Yun family is too stiff, so we can't decide Not good."

"Or, master, I have an idea, I don't know if it will work."

"Okay, at this point, why are you still playing sloppy? If you have any ideas, tell me quickly."

"Master, since neither side can be offended, let's not offend either side." A sly smile flashed in the small eyes: "Master, at this hour, except for those who go out with the princess consort, stay in the backyard." Most of those people have gone to eat. We can tell Yun Sichuan that we don’t know about it, and ask him to take his people to the backyard to search for himself. If we find them, we will let them go, so that the princess concubine will not let us go. If you offend me, Yun Sichuan can easily explain it to me."

"Is this okay? That man is not easy to get along with."

"My lord, I think those guards are also the sons of officials and eunuchs. I guess they just can't bear it. Our place is so high that the emperor is far away and no one can hold them down. That's why they dare to rob women into the mansion on the street. You may not dare to tell the son-in-law about the matter, and even if the son-in-law insists on pursuing it, we can also excuse it by saying that it is for the sake of the princess's son-in-law's reputation, after all, such things are not easy to publicize."

"Good old Tian, ​​you have been with the master for so many years. Well, I will do as you said."

Back in the hall, Tian Zusheng talked about the matter with Yun Sichuan and the others as discussed in advance, and specifically explained that if he was found, he would definitely release him.

Yun Sichuan didn't break his careful thought, and led a few people to follow the boy leading the way to a small side courtyard. Before the door was called, the door opened from the inside.Mingting led Yuyang and the shopkeeper's youngest daughter Yinger out together.It turned out that when Yun Sichuan proposed that he could directly enter the door to ask for someone, Mo Nanjin was worried that things would not go well, and something would happen after a long time, so he asked Ming Ting to sneak in to investigate first, and find the opportunity to get the person out.

"You, who are you, how dare you trespass on my mansion?" Under Ming Ting's cold eyes, Tian Zusheng couldn't help taking a step back, and his questioning tone weakened all of a sudden.

"Young Master, I have found Madam." Ming Ting ignored Tian's family's surprise and walked to Mo Nanjin.

"En," Mo Nanjin responded in a low voice, smiled and looked at Yuyang behind, with concern and inquiry in his eyes: "Yuyang, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just a false alarm." Yuyang smoothed his sleeves.He smiled reassuringly.

"Let me take a look." Mo Nanjin took her to the place where the light illuminated and took a closer look. Except for the messy hair, the clothes were slightly pulled but they were still in good condition.

Mo Nanjin brushed a stray strand of hair from Yuyang's cheek behind her ear, held her wrist and said, "Let's go home."

Tian Zusheng didn't notice this person who had followed Yun Sichuan with his head down since he entered the door just now. Yun Sichuan said he was his brother and stood up for him in this way. It can be seen that the relationship between the two is very good, but why did he never He had never heard of such a person beside Yun Sichuan, and when Yun Sichuan recommended him just now, although he was a little disdainful, but now that he thinks about it, this person doesn't seem to make a sound.Now this person is wrapped in a cloak and he can't see his appearance, but his voice is rare and elegant.

Yuyang took a breath, and the arm in Mo Nanjin's hand shrank involuntarily.

"Yuyang, let me take a look." Mo Nanjin noticed something, and her voice sank for a rare moment. She stopped, rolled up Yuyang's sleeves above her wrists, and saw two lines on her fair arms. Red, swollen bruises are clearly visible.

"Yuyang," Mo Nanjin stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, with an unmistakable sadness in his tone: "Yuyang, I'm sorry." He thought that he would never bring harm to the people around him again, but In the end, Yuyang, whom he loves her like his younger sister, the person he thought could hold up a clear sky for her, is still hurt because of him.

"Mo Nanjin, I'm very scared, thank you for coming to save me." Yuyang didn't really feel at ease until now, her pale fingers tightly grasped the clothes on his chest, and she cried out, she was really scared Broken, I thought the nightmare of many years was about to repeat itself.Fortunately, Mo Nanjin came to rescue her, and fortunately he came.

"Don't be afraid, Yuyang, it's all over, let's go home." He understood that no matter how mature and decent Yuyang usually behaved, he was still just a girl under 20 years old. Yuyang covered them together.

"En." Yuyang blinked away the tears in his eyes, and took the initiative to hold Mo Nanjin's hand

"Old man, I will not let this matter go. I hope the old man will give me an explanation as soon as possible." Before leaving, Yun Sichuan glanced at Tian Zusheng in the corner who thought that the matter had come to a successful conclusion.

"Why is it so lively here?" None of the people paid attention. At some point, at the entrance of the corridor, a slender figure was hidden under the shadow of trees in the evening.

When Tian Zusheng heard this voice, he shivered strongly.The originally obese body was unexpectedly flexible at this time, without anyone's support, he walked forward: "My son..." Under the gloomy gaze of the visitor, he changed his words abruptly: "You are back."

"What are you doing?" The lazy voice sounded again, and the visitor came out from under the shadow of the tree. He was dressed in a red silk gown embroidered with clouds, with extremely beautiful facial features and long and narrow phoenix eyes, under the light of the red candlelight. , obviously as a man, but it adds a bit of charm and bewitching.
