The general's wife is sick

In order to avoid suspicion, Ji Liu did not visit Yan Bao in person during the trial of Wang Zhiyuan and Wang Xinru's case.

In the eyes of the world, Yan Bao's poisoning has not been resolved, and his life will be in danger at any time.

What he needs most at this time is a good doctor, not a close friend in his boudoir.

One thing Ji Liu didn't expect was that due to the involvement of the case, all the doctors in the capital would be in danger for a while, and some doctors wanted to find another way, and took the initiative to stand up and detoxify with Yan Bao.

In the past few days, there are not a few doctors who have personally recommended themselves to Earl Ziyang's mansion.

Cheng moaned and sighed all day long, glanced at Ji Liu and then sighed loudly on purpose.

Ji Liu put away the book and looked at him amusedly, "What's wrong?"

As soon as Ji Liu uttered his voice, he ran over in a turbulent manner, "Master, aren't you angry? Your achievements have been taken away by others!"

"What's there to be angry about?" Opening the flipped book, Ji Liu wrote lightly, "Yan Bao's health is healed, the Yan family lost a vicious aunt, he and Aunt Yun can live well, isn't that Is it good?"

"Yan Shuangshao is fine, but the capital is not good."

The ingredients stared at him for a while, and came to a conclusion.

"Why?"

"I think you are not happy in Zhucheng anymore, the expression on your face is much less, and you are a low-key person."

Ji Liu Taohua narrowed her eyes slightly, with a smile on her face, and asked intentionally, "Why do you think this is?"

Without even thinking about it, the answer of composition has been brewing in my heart for a long time, "It's because there are too many powerful people in the capital, and you can't do things completely according to your own ideas, just like a bird soaring into the sky and riding the wind away." The eagle, but now it can only be put in a cage to be the little starling for people to watch."

"It's not in vain. I'll take you out, Xiao Fen. In the future, you should use your eyes to see more, think with your heart, do more things and talk less, and you will continue to grow."

Ji Liu never thought that his composition could be seen so clearly.

Taking a deep breath and sighing, he kind of missed that person who didn't know how to advance or retreat.

Nowadays, there is not much news about Yuzhou coming to the capital. Xiong Jinghai dealt with the affairs of Yuzhou vigorously and resolutely. All the limelight he did in Yuzhou was robbed.

It's not that Ji Liu is so happy, but that he needs to rely on Xiong Jinghai's power to achieve a win-win situation.

That would help Xiong Jinghai to gain more appreciation, and getting the emperor's respect is the foundation of gaining a foothold in the imperial court.

Ji Liu comforted himself, he didn't just think about Xiong Jinghai, he thought more about how to use Xiong Jinghai reasonably to seek benefits for himself.

After being so at ease, the words on the whole page danced in front of his eyes, and Ji Liu's thoughts drifted far away.

Xiong Jinghai was writing a secret document at the moment. He said bluntly that Bai Yiming was brave and resourceful, unlike ordinary people, and could be reused. He hoped that the emperor would give him a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. After a few words, he never mentioned Dai Mengyun.

The memorial was written concisely, without the eloquence of writing a flirtatious letter to Ji Liu. The words on the secret fold are refined and the words are accurate. If an uninformed person reads it, they will never believe that such a letter with different styles came from the same person.

After finishing writing and drying, Xiong Jinghai changed another piece of paper. The secret fold was used as a way to report the situation to his subordinates, but now it was used as a letter from a nephew to his uncle.

The letter introduced Dai Mengyun in detail, and his identity was vaguely mentioned in the text. Xiong Jinghai used Dai Mengyun as a touchstone for Ji Liu. When he wrote the pen, he seemed to be casual, but every word fell on the paper after racking his brains over and over again. .

After sending the letter away, Xiong Jinghai boarded the gate tower of Yuzhou. Everywhere in Yuzhou is being rebuilt in an orderly manner. The city is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. He calmed down the chaos by means of thunder, and returning to Beijing is probably slower than expected earlier.

The northwestern rogues were killed by him, so they couldn't cause any storms in a short time. When they returned to the northwest...Xiong Jinghai's eyes were piercing, and he wanted to bring Ji Liu along with him in a fair and honest manner.

Xie Kun climbed up the city gate, "Boss, it's so cold now, when will those seeds be planted in the ground? Even if we need them, we have to go back to Beijing, right?"

"Do you want to stay here and farm?"

"Of course not!"

"Then what are you worrying about?"

Xie Kun, "..."

Get attacked every day!

"Which of the detained officials are innocent?" Xiong Jinghai strode down the tower.

Xie Kun followed behind him, "There are three of them, and they were severely suppressed. I went to see them all at home, and they were worse than ordinary people. I heard that all the salaries were used to help the poor. I also saw that the big brother of Zhou Zheng's family The son is wearing patched clothes."

Xiong Jinghai didn't stop walking, stepped on his horse, "Zhou Zheng?"

"Yes, Zhou Zheng, the county magistrate of Chixian County. There are also Yan Gan and Feng Shuimiao. These three are county magistrates under Yuzhou, a county that doesn't shit. Their county magistrates are also poor, but fortunately they Did not follow suit."

He said he didn't like the poverty of their villages and counties, but Xie Kun still admired such officials. Yuzhou was too chaotic, and it was rare to have such a clear stream.

"Call it out, I'm useful."

He is the tallest of the dwarfs, Yuzhou is too poor, and the officials transferred from other districts and counties are not guaranteed to make such a mistake. It is better to directly promote the local officials who have been suppressed before. Xiong Jinghai has a lot of power in his hands, and the emperor gave him to do things cheaply The right to do things without restraint.

The lives of the people continue, and they all have people they care about. For the people in their hearts, they work hard every day, but some people's lives seem to be paused.

Prison prison.

Wang Zhiyuan's father and daughter were locked in the prison cells of the Ministry of Punishment.

Wang Xinru was sitting on a pile of straw, wearing a white prison uniform.

Even in prison, her hair is still neat, and her face looks pale but not sick.

Prisons of the Ministry of Punishment are mostly for repeat offenders. In recent years, the number of officials committing crimes has been small. Now there are gangsters who murder and rob goods, and there are copycat leaders who turn grass into bandits. It is a miracle that father and daughter commit crimes separately and are arrested at the same time.

On the second day after they came in, the father and daughter of the Wang family became the objects of ridicule by those hobs in the prison.

These people are the bad guys in the common people's mouth, the scum of all evils, they speak freely, and they all fall into the hands of the Ministry of punishment, there is no hope of survival, and they dare to say anything.

The jailer is used to the ugliness of these people, but a high-ranking general and the wife of an earl's mansion are all reduced to the same fate as these robbers and gangsters. Such a dramatic scene still gives him more to talk about when drinking with others .

"My lord Wang, what about the sense of righteousness and awe in which you caught me? I didn't expect you to be a coward. You are upright on the surface, but you are not as good as me behind your back. Bah, you are not as good as a rat living in the gutter."

The man who spoke was arrested by Wang Zhiyuan. He was a big thief who only stole as a rich and unkind businessman. After fleeing to the capital, he was arrested by Wang Zhiyuan's city defense army.

"The son of a mouse can make holes. This is absolutely true. Hey, little madam, if your father is like this, you are indeed a mouse that can make holes. Brothers, are you right?"

"Correct."

"That makes sense!"

At this moment, no matter whether you know each other or not, as long as there is a challenge, other people's ridicule will follow.

"What you said is wrong. The father and daughter are so capable. One has been an official for so many years, the other lives in a deep house compound, the other is desperately making money, and the other is desperately killing his own son. , a nest of mice!"

These are polite words, and there are more harsh words.

Wang Zhiyuan blew his beard and stared angrily, and he was defeated by everyone's scolding after several confrontations with them.

Compared to Wang Zhiyuan's irritable and annoyed, Wang Xinru was always very calm, she just sat quietly without saying a word.

This state continued until Yan Shinuo went to prison to visit him.

Through the iron fence of the cell, Wang Xinru looked at the man she loved so much. She smiled slightly, with a little light on her face, "I didn't expect you to come to see me."

"You and I have been husband and wife for so many years, tell me the truth, you have always disliked Bao'er and Ayun, right?"

Wang Xinru stood up calmly. She was a tiger girl in the Jiangmen, and her every move was full of heroic demeanor, "Yes, I don't like them, no, it should be said, I hate them."

Ruhuo looked directly at Yan Shinuo, Wang Xinru said, "I will poison him because of you."

Yan Shinuo's surprised eyes touched Wang Xinru, she smiled coldly, as if she liked his expression very much, "If Yan Bao dies one day, it will be all your fault!"

"At the beginning you came to ask me to marry me, but after you married me, you still put Wang Yiyun in the backyard, dangling in front of my eyes all the time, not only that, but she became pregnant in the second month of my pregnancy with Yonger. You made me so ashamed, and I still have to use my wife's face to bear children and take care of the backyard for you!"

Wang Xinru's tone was choked with sobs, and the infinite grievances were revealed from the words, "I will take care of all the big and small affairs of the mansion, and I will prepare your gift list for favors, but these trivial matters are like a cloud in the clear sky in your eyes. A piece of cloud drifting over, everything is as it should be!"

"I have paid so much for you, but you still only have her in your heart, only her! We are only a month away from having a baby, but you know that she is not in good health after giving birth to Yan Bao, and every time the tonic in the kitchen is you I personally ordered the servants to boil it, but why don't you know that after I gave birth to Yonger, my whole body was like being immersed in ice water every time it was cold, why didn't you care about my suffering? When it was cold, you covered her with your own hands. Yi, it’s hot, you often ask her if there are enough ice cubes in the house, you can stay with her all night when she is sick, and when I am sick, I can only tell the nuns not to tell you. Your concern for her, I can only pretend not to see those loves, and pretend not to hear them. The children are even more, they are also your children, Yonger and the others are your legitimate sons and daughters, but you only see Yan Yan in your eyes. Bao, all his food and clothing costs are higher than those of his legitimate sons and daughters, why?"

The tone changed suddenly, and the voice was sharp and piercing. Wang Xinru took two steps forward, stretched out his hands and grabbed Yan Shinuo's skirt through the fence, "Tell me, what is it that I am inferior to Wang Yiyun, if you don't like me, Why did you personally come to ask me to marry me?"

"You've always thought this way, why didn't you tell me?"

"Hahaha!" As if hearing a big joke, Wang Xinru smiled bitterly, her eyes rippling, "Let me tell you? How can I tell you, since you married me, why don't you have me in your heart?" ?”

"I don't know, I..." Yan Shinuo held her hand, his expression tightened, and he spoke very fast, "I have never disliked you. When something happened to the Wang family, I saved Ayun by myself. She is good because she has no relatives other than me. You are different. You are the daughter of General Wang. You are the wind of the general, and you are full of heroism, just like plum blossoms in full bloom in the cold winter. You are so strong, not weak like Ayun. Need protection, I always thought you could."

Wang Xinru's pale face turned pale, she listened to Yan Shinuo's words in a daze, and could hardly believe her ears.

"If you had told me earlier, I would never have let you think so wildly, but why did you choose this way, you...you..." Yan Shinuo couldn't continue speaking.

"You have me in your heart?" Wang Xinru murmured as if in a daze.

The grief on Yan Shinuo's face was obvious. When things got to this point, everything was caused by him, "If I didn't like you, why did I come to ask you to marry me in person? Although my title is hereditary, you also know that I am not that kind. I'm a playboy. I will never force myself to share the bed with someone I don't like for so many years, and raise my eyebrows."

"Ha...haha..." Wang Xinru smiled with the corners of her mouth open, but tears rolled down her eyes, "You actually like me? I always thought... thought... what about me? All these years What have I done, what have I done?"

Loosening Yan Shinuo's clothes, Wang Xinru stared at her hands. In her eyes, these white hands were flushed red with blood, "I actually became jealous because of my misunderstanding, and poisoned Bao'er? Before it was too late, everything would be done." It’s not too late, Bao’er is just in a coma now, and it’s not the end yet! Have you shown him a doctor? I put silk on him. This poison will slowly take away the nutrients in his body, and he will become weak Death, hurry, let the doctor detoxify him!" Looking up, at this moment, there was deep regret and worry in her eyes.

"Now there are doctors to help him detoxify, but his health has not improved, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's... Oh, Ru'er, why are you doing this!"

Wang Xinru's eyes widened but she couldn't stop the tears from rolling down, "I thought you only liked Wang Yiyun and Bao'er, I... I've been wrong all these years, I should have told you my heart earlier, if you Tell me that I will not go to the field where I am today."

For a while, all the observers were silent, and there was only the "beep" sound of burning firewood in the prison.

Even though the couple have slept together for many years, they don't know each other well. One thinks the other is a hero among women, strong and resolute, but forgets that she is a woman after all, a woman who is already married and needs to be cared for by her husband and used by others. Love nourishes.

Another poor wretch who thought that her husband loved other women so much that she was just using it to raise children and take care of household chores as a front.

Wang Xinru has come to this day, Yan Shinuo has an unshirkable responsibility, but the fact has already happened, Yan Bao's body is highly poisoned and his life is dying.

"A pair of fools."

I don’t know who said such a sentence in the silence, Wang Xinru smiled wryly, and the tears still couldn’t stop, “Yeah, I’m so stupid, I’m sorry Bao’er, my husband. I originally had a husband and children, my parents loved me, my sisters were harmonious, everything It was all so beautiful, but now, it was ruined by me alone, ruined by me! I can't go back, I can't go back again!"

Wang Xin burst into tears, she took two steps back slowly, lost in thought, regret swept every corner of her body.

She just stood there in a white prison uniform. Although she was in a dirty and dark prison cell, Yan Shinuo felt that she was as beautiful as when she first saw her. He only heard her cry, "Husband, replace me Talk to Bao'er and tell him that his mother knew he was wrong. Dad, my daughter is wrong!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Xinru raised her feet and rushed towards the prison wall with her head buried.

With a "bang", Wang Xinru's body suddenly softened, and she slid down the wall slowly, with blood gushing out from her forehead.

"Xinru!" Yan Shinuo roared, "Quick, open the door, open the door!"

Wang Zhiyuan was far away, but he heard the conversation between the two from the beginning to the end, and now he heard this heavy blow again, his heart skipped a beat, "Daughter, Xinru, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you? Yan Shino!"

The prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was in chaos!

Simply, Wang Xinru was rescued in time, and his forehead was seriously injured, but his life was not in danger. He was just unconscious.

Hearing Yan Shinuo's message, Yan Bao saw his tired face, as if he had aged a lot in an instant, he blinked, and his heart was full of sorrow, "Father, I don't blame her, and you don't blame her either."

"Bao'er, you are a good boy, but can you really forgive her for treating you like this?"

"Father, what's the use of me forgiving her? The emperor has already known about this matter. She...mother may not come back."

The father and son were silent together, and this matter was heard by Zhang Li in front of the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty. The ending was already doomed. Even if Wang Xin could get through this life and death calamity and reform, it would be like Yan Bao said, she would not come back.

"There is a nunnery in the suburbs of Beijing, let your mother go there to practice."

If she can wake up.

Quarter House.

"Brother Liu, I never thought she would be like this...so..."

Wang Xinru has always been strong and calm, even if he found out that he was poisoned, Yan Bao never thought of letting her die.

Suddenly knowing that she chose such a path, Yan Bao's heart felt as if it was being burned by fire and fried by hot oil.

He has always been soft-hearted. When Yan Shinuo told him what Wang Xinru said before he died, he had already forgiven Wang Xinru. They are all poor people, his mother is pitiful, and his aunt is even more pitiful.

"Don't think about it." Ji Liu sighed secretly while persuading him, this matter was also beyond his expectation.

All the karma comes from Yan Shinuo, if he can marry only one person and treat only one person sincerely, then Wang Xinru will be fine, and Yan Bao will not have to suffer from this torture.

"Actually, Brother Yong and I don't have any deep hatred. We are all father's children, and they are just jealous when they see me enjoying my father's favor." Yan Bao also realized that his poisoning was related to Yan Shinuo, Then he smiled bitterly, his face full of sorrow, "There is no one in the family who doesn't quarrel with brothers and sisters."

Ji Liu knew that he was kind-hearted, "Did you forgive her?"

The silk-winding poison on his body has been fully cured, but Yan Bao's body is not as good as before. Most of the nutrients in his body have been absorbed by the mature silk-winding poison. Now he is in a bad mood and confused, and his bad mood directly affects his body. his physical condition.

This is heart disease.

"My mother said that she is also a poor person." Yan Bao nodded and shook his head.

"It's not urgent. You should think about it carefully. After all, you are a family."

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and Ji Liu didn't want to meddle too much in the Yan family's affairs, so he comforted Yan Bao and left the Earl's Mansion.

In the swaying carriage, you can hear the trampling of horses and the cries of peddlers.

Ji Liu is in a bad mood, this kind of tragedy in the Yan family can actually be avoided, but the long-term husband and wife don't understand each other, one thinks the other doesn't love, the other thinks the other is strong, the consequence of lack of communication is that the innocent Yan Bao almost took his life.

Life is like a play, the world is impermanent, thoughts are messy in the heart, emotional problems have existed since ancient times, and there is no solution, Ji Liu raised his head, and wrote a letter to Yuzhou after returning...
