Abduct a general to farm

For Shu Jiutian, today's day can be described as ignorant.

Near noon, he woke up after a full sleep, and his two elder brothers didn't know where they went. He ate breakfast and lunch by himself. I visited Mo Ran, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, and planned to ask her what plans she had next.

However, as soon as the carriage reached the busy market, he noticed the unusual noise. It was clearly a busy market, but there was rarely any street vendors shouting. Doubt and worry.

He immediately asked the driver to stop, jumped down and approached a group of men who were chatting at the wonton stand, and asked them what happened.

The four men were talking enthusiastically, but they were suddenly interrupted and felt a little uncomfortable. Looking back, they recognized Shu Jiutian, and immediately offered him a seat obsequiously.

"Master Shu San, long time no see. When did you come back? Did you go to visit Jiutian Restaurant?"

Shu Jiutian raised his eyebrows, he didn't care about their excessive enthusiasm, and said calmly: "No, what were you talking about just now?"

The bearded man's eyebrows and eyes fluttered and said: "Don't you know, third young master, something big happened today! Isn't today the day when the prince returns to Beijing? General Jiang was picking up people at the city gate, but the prince just arrived. General Jiang suddenly said My wife disappeared and I couldn't find anyone, so I suspected that the third prince did it, so I broke into the palace to interrupt the banquet, and used a sword to force the third prince to ask where his wife is."

Speaking of this, he moved a little closer mysteriously. Shu Jiutian didn't like being so close to people he didn't know, so he frowned uncomfortably, but the person didn't notice, so he lowered his voice and said in a whisper:

"Besides, I heard that people from Yeluo Pavilion appeared, and they kidnapped the general's wife. General Jiang said that the third prince had something to do with Yeluo Pavilion, but without evidence, he was imprisoned in Dali Temple by the furious emperor. The minister of the temple personally entered the palace to pick up the person, and he just passed through this road."

The other three laughed: "What are you doing with this posture? It has been spread throughout the capital."

"Are you saying that General Jiang is really going to frame the third prince? Who is Yeluo Pavilion related to?" A certain man asked, and it seemed that none of them had guessed the result.

"You are stupid, how could General Jiang do such a thing, and that is Yeluo Pavilion, the Yeluo Pavilion that does all kinds of evil, it is impossible for General Jiang to mix with them."

"But the third prince is a member of the royal family, so he probably won't have anything to do with Ye Luo Pavilion."

"Don't you think it's even more shocking that the emperor locked up General Jiang..."

The four started arguing again, completely forgetting about Shu Jiutian beside him, Shu Jiutian's brows had never been lowered, the more they listened, the more unbelievable Jiang Jingjiu could be locked up by the emperor?Mo Ran disappeared?Why did the people from Yeluo Pavilion be involved all of a sudden?

He couldn't sit any longer, so he returned to the carriage and asked the coachman to drive to the general's mansion quickly, wanting to confirm the authenticity of the matter.

The general's mansion was unusually oppressive, without two masters, even the footsteps of the servants became much heavier.

Xue Rouzhi, who came back from a friend's house, received Shu Jiutian in the lobby, her eyes were red from crying, her son was locked up, and her daughter-in-law disappeared, everything made her feel flustered.

Therefore, when facing Shu Jiutian, he couldn't even show a forced smile, and said with a numb face, "You came at the wrong time today. We haven't found Ranran yet, and Ajiu is still in prison."

The elder in front of him was in a bad mood, Shu Jiutian didn't know how to comfort him, and said cautiously: "Aunt Xue, I will ask my family to help find Mo Ran. I will also ask my father or elder brother to find out about General Jiang's situation. Not that bad."

Xue Rouzhi's complexion was very bad, and she sighed with red eyes: "Son, you have a heart, thank you, Aunt Xue, but it's great to have you as a friend, I don't worry about Ajiu in prison, I only worry about Ranran, she alone The woman was kidnapped by thieves after only one trip, and I don't know what will happen, I hope she will be fine."

Jiang Jingjiu has a good relationship with Dali Siqing, and she is not worried that the other party will embarrass her son, unless the emperor personally orders it.If there is one more person to help find Ranran, he can also find someone faster.

As he spoke, Xue Rouzhi wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief again.

After dryly comforting him, Shu Jiutian hurriedly left the house and went back to find someone. His father was in the study, and he was at the banquet in the morning, so he naturally knew something about it.

After Shu Jiutian finished talking with him, he saw his eyes darkened, and said: "You don't go out recently, the capital will be unstable, I will go and look into General Jiang's affairs, but I think he will be very comfortable even in prison. "

"What about Mo Ran, Dad, you need to send more people to look for Mo Ran, I don't want her to have an accident."

"The general's wife naturally has her own people to look for, what are you so concerned about?"

Prime Minister Shu looked at his youngest son up and down, and said suspiciously with a sizing look: "Speaking of which, you have always hated seeing other daughters, but you are very close to the general's wife. Could it be that you secretly like the general's wife?"

Shu Jiutian choked up for a moment, and said speechlessly: "Father, don't think too much. Mo Ran and I are just friends. Don't say that when you go out. I'm afraid that General Jiang will come and beat me when he comes out."

Prime Minister Shu stroked his sparse beard, waved his hands and said, "Okay, you can go, just stay in the mansion for me recently."

"What about Mo Ran?"

"Look for it."

"Thank you dad." Shu Jiutian was overjoyed, and when he was about to leave, he thought of something, and turned around and asked, "Where are the eldest brother and the second brother?"

"Zhan'er is resting, but Chi'er doesn't know, you can find it yourself."

Shu Jiutian had no choice but to go out and walk around the mansion twice, but he couldn't find anyone, so he had to wait patiently until he came back at night.

On the other side, in a well-swept prison cell in Dali Temple, a man in a general's uniform sat quietly on a stone bed, with a thick iron chain locked around his left leg and ankle, rattling at the slightest movement. ring.

However, the man seemed to block all the voices, his head was lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking, until the door lock of the cell was opened from the outside with a click, and the slightly bloated Dali Siqing stepped in, behind him was Duan A jailer serving food.

Jiang Jingjiu's eyeballs moved slightly, and then he looked away a little bit, then quickly retracted his eyes, and started to be in a daze again without saying a word.

The Minister of Dali Temple asked the jailer to put the food out, then patted Jiang Jingjiu on the shoulder and said, "General Jiang, it's time to eat."

Jiang Jing remained silent for a long time.

Dali Temple Minister didn't mind his indifference, and continued: "Before the emperor calms down, I can only wrong you to stay with me for a few days. The shackles are just for show. You can move freely in the cell. They will Open one eye and close one eye.”

"These meals are not as good as those made by the cooks in your house, but they taste good enough to fill your stomach. Don't be disgusted."

The Minister of Dali Temple did not get any response after several words in a row, and finally he asked curiously: "What happened between you and the third prince? As for today, do you have to tear yourself apart? Your wife was kidnapped?"

Now Jiang Jingjiu finally reacted, looked up at him with deep eyes: "The third prince did what happened to my wife."

"Are you sure? The third prince really has something to do with Yeluo Pavilion?"

Jiang Jingjiu turned his face away to ignore him again, and said after a while: "You should go, you don't have to worry about my affairs."

Dali Siqing came to find out nothing, so he had to tell him to remember to eat, and left with regret on his face.

No matter how turbulent it was outside, the cell was always calm and calm. No one dared to disturb Jiang Jingjiu, and no one even supervised him, so he stayed outside tacitly.

He was not locked in a dungeon. There was a small palm-sized window above one wall in the cell. When night fell, the cold moonlight shone through the small window on the ground, bringing different lights.

As time passed, the moon also slowly turned, and the window was gradually occupied by night, but the place where Jiang Jingjiu was was brightly lit with candles.

After an unknown amount of time, there were more than one sound of light footsteps in the passage. Jiang Jingjiu moved his feet, stood up and walked to the door, and the two people came into view.

It wasn't the emperor, but the crown prince and Taifu Shu Jinchi, both of whom were wearing ordinary clothes.

The prince stood still in front of the door, took out the key from his waist, opened the door and walked in. Shu Jinchi followed behind and nodded slightly to him: "General Jiang."

Jiang Jingjiu glanced outside the passage, the prince understood what he meant, and said with a faint smile, "Father is not here."

"What did the emperor say?"

"Father, he said that he is willing to trust you for the time being. I think father, he should really be suspicious of Zhao Hua, otherwise he would not agree to you so easily, and he is willing to temporarily entrust part of the imperial guards to me to find your wife." .”

Today, before being brought to Dali Temple by the minister of Dali Temple in the palace, the emperor sent everyone else away, leaving only Jiang Jingjiu. He made a bet with the emperor:

He was sure that the people in Yeluo Pavilion were found by the third prince, and his wife was also taken away by the third prince, and he would find evidence within five days. During these five days, he was apparently imprisoned in a prison, but In fact, he was allowed to go out, but he could not appear in front of everyone unless evidence was found.

Only then did the emperor give an answer, fortunately it was good news.

Only then did Jiang Jingjiu have a smile on his face, but it disappeared quickly. He looked at Shu Jinchi, wondering why he was here.

Shu Jinchi said helplessly: "My younger brother asked me to come. He said he was worried about your wife and insisted on my help, so I came to assist General Jiang."

Jiang Jingjiu nodded, and the crown prince asked him what he was going to do, because he had told Dali Temple Secretary earlier that all guards had gone out, and only the crown prince was guarding, and their conversation was not worried about being heard by others.

Hearing the crown prince said that because of such a thing, the third prince was shut up in his bedroom by the emperor to think about it, Jiang Jingjiu said: "My lady is still in his hands, he will not stay in the bedroom obediently. Although he There are no Gu worms on the body, but it does not mean that other people are not infected, as long as there is contact with people in Yeluo Pavilion, there will always be someone who has it, but we did not find it."

"What we have to do is to find that person, or in other words, keep an eye on the third prince's movements. As long as he can't hold back, he will always show his feet."

"In addition, we will continue to look for people, but the number of people will decrease every day."
