Powerful ministers are husbands

Waking up with a single word, Pang Miao looked carefully again, but the gangsters were brutally and eagerly pushed by the officers and soldiers, and they were driven out to another door. The previous green-clothed officials looked nervous and kept talking. Touching his nose, he urged the officers and soldiers to escort him away as soon as possible.

Pang Miao didn't have time to take another look, which made him a little uneasy.

After waiting for about another hour, it was almost lunch time. When many people were driven into the yamen, they didn't even have time to eat a bite of breakfast. Someone is picking quarrels and provoking trouble.

At the tense moment, the green-clothed official finally appeared again.

"Okay, folks, thank you for your hard work, you can all go." He spoke in a neither bad nor bad tone, and walked around the courtyard, chasing the people towards the door like chickens. Hurry up, "If you don't leave, I'll leave you guys to eat in the yamen jail."

"Mother," Pang Miao supported his mother's arm, "let's go back to the imperial capital as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble on the way." Now set off immediately, and we can enter the city in the evening.Later, if the city gate is closed, it will have to wait until early tomorrow morning, wasting a night for nothing.

Xue Jinyi said earnestly: "The coachman and I went back to the inn to get things and drove the carriage over. Auntie rested in the teahouse opposite the yamen." As he spoke, he noticed the unkind eyes, and quickly added: "It must be the inn It was smashed in a mess, and many people were killed and injured, so don't get bad luck in the past."

Mrs. Pang nodded in agreement, and looked at Xue Jinyi lovingly, "Then I will trouble Mr. Xue."

"No trouble, no trouble, if Auntie agrees that I will take your carriage back to Beijing..." Xue Jinyi smiled and didn't intend to care about Pang Miao, "I'll just sit on the shaft of the carriage, and I won't disturb you and Madam Cao Bashao."

"Okay, okay, it will be more lively on the way back together." Mrs. Pang agreed, because he liked the well-behaved and polite young master of the Xue family very much.

After Xue Jinyi thanked him and left, Pang Miao frowned.

What is this person planning?

After sitting down by the window of the opposite teahouse, Pang Miao paid close attention to the gate of the governor's mansion.At this time, most of the people had already left, and no one wanted to stay here to be guarded and interrogated like prisoners, so the front of the yamen was deserted except for a few yamen guards.But not long after, more than a dozen officers and soldiers rushed out in a swarm and rushed towards the city gate, following the last yamen servant with a portrait of a scarred face in his hand.

If it weren't for the fact that the governor of this place and the county magistrate who was killed were close friends, such an eagerness to hunt down the murderer would make suspicious people suspicious.

Pang Miao drank herbal tea slowly, his eyes never leaving the gate of the governor's mansion. Not long after, another group of people ran in the opposite direction.

"Auntie," Xue Jinyi's gentle and friendly smiling face came into view again with the sound of "da da da" horse's hooves, "I drove the carriage over, it's not too early, shall we go on the road?"

"Okay." Mrs. Pang smiled brightly, as if she wished to accept Xue Jinyi as her adopted son.

Pang Miao continued to ignore Xue Jinyi, and sat in the carriage with his mother and Jinxiu.Xue Jinyi put down the curtain, and drove away with the coachman. When he reached the gate of the city, he was questioned again by the officers and soldiers who surrounded him.

After that, there was another checkpoint on the official road, but only the pedestrians and horses going to the county were checked. Pang Miao and his party arrived in the imperial capital smoothly in the evening.Mrs. Pang kept Xue Jinyi for dinner, and Pang Miao had a headache. Why did his mother like Xue so much?

After dinner, Pang Miao had to return to Cao's house, but Xue Jinyi did not ask to send him there.

Although he was messing around, at least he knew how to avoid suspicion.

After Pang Miao tidied himself up, he returned to Cao's mansion and immediately went to greet Madam Cao.

"You know it's time to come back, don't you? I have never seen a daughter-in-law who has only been married for more than a month and has stayed at her mother's house for more than half a month." Mrs. Cao said coldly, gesturing to the bronze mirror to herself. The pearl hairpin I bought.Ru Yi knelt beside her respectfully and obediently, beating Mrs. Cao's legs and pinching her feet familiarly. When she saw Pang Miao, she just smiled and nodded as a gesture.

With a slightly unnatural smile on his face, Pang Miao explained hastily: "Some things at home have been delayed, and Mr. Wen will pay attention to it in the future." Then, he changed the subject, "Mr. Vegetables and fruits are very delicious, and they have already been taken to the kitchen."

"You have a heart. This time the situation is special, so I won't pursue it." As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face with your hand. Mrs. Cao is too lazy to bother with her daughter-in-law at night. She glanced at Pang Miao unhurriedly, "You first Go back, come over early tomorrow morning, I have something to tell you to do."

"Yes, Mr. Wen is leaving." Pang Miao came out of Mrs. Cao's courtyard, and seeing no one around, he simply lifted up his skirt and ran back to Tingsong Courtyard to find Zhang Mu.

"I don't know if I can ask you to go to Hanyun Village? Just pretend to be a passing merchant and inquire about the news of Pangjia Zhuangzi casually. Then, you secretly stare at Pangjiazhuangzi to see if there is anything in charge of the village. No one was sent away... In short, come back and report to me immediately after three days."

Pang Miao spoke very fast, he wanted to confirm this matter before the city gate was closed.

And Zhang Mu stared at it very seriously, and listened to Pang Miao's words word by word, "Before the general left, he specially asked his subordinates to be on call from the young lady at any time. The subordinates will do their best to ask the young lady's request. Do you have anything else to entrust?"

It was arranged by Cao Lv again... Complicated thoughts flashed through his mind instantly, Pang Miao shook his head and put it behind him first, and focused on the urgent matters now.Zhang Mu didn't ask a single word, this kind of character made him really happy, "No. You have worked hard this time, and I need you to set off immediately."

"Yes, then this subordinate will set off immediately."

Pang Miao took out some silver coins and handed them to Zhang Mu, "We need silver coins on the way."

Zhang Mu took the money and left.

Pang Miao looked at the time, it was more than enough to get out of the city before the city gate closed, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Nothing to say all night.In the morning of the second day, Pang Miao came to Madam Cao's yard. Cao Fu and the others had already arrived and were chatting and laughing with their mother. When they saw the eighth siblings, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

After Pang Miao greeted him, Mrs. Cao asked his mother to throw him a thick booklet, "This is the family rules taught by the ancestors of the Cao family. You have been married to the Cao family for a short time, so you don't know and remember the rules of the Cao family , it is inevitable that you will do something out of the rules. So, take this family rule and copy it ten times, and be sure to memorize the rules firmly." She pointed to the daughters-in-law of several bastards, "You Several sister-in-laws have also copied it, and now they are all good housekeepers, helping me and their husbands a lot. Remember, you are not allowed to leave Tingsongyuan until you have finished copying. I will send someone for your daily food. Send it to you."

Pang Miao weighed the booklet in his hands, and he probably couldn't finish copying it in less than half a month.

Mrs. Cao paused, and then added: "You are not allowed to find someone to copy for you. I will check your handwriting. If it does not match, I must serve the crime of deceiving your in-laws. After you have finished copying, if there is any violation I won't let you off lightly when it comes to family rules."

Cao Fu gloated and looked at Cao Yin at each other, while Guo Miao and the other three daughters-in-law secretly let out a long sigh of relief and straightened their backs.

Cao Rui noticed Guo Miao's expression, and said intentionally, "Mother really cares about the eighth sibling. I remember that the second sister-in-law and the others only copied it three times."

"That's natural, don't look at the status of the eighth brother." Cao Fu glanced at Guo Miao, and said with emphasis: "In the future, the eighth brother and sister will assist the mother in handling the housework, so don't be careless."

Guo Miao pouted, but didn't speak.

"Ahem." Mrs. Cao understood the hostility of her daughters towards the bastards, but for the sake of the family's peace and harmony on the surface, she had to remind her daughters that enough was enough.

"Yes, Mr. Wen will definitely copy it carefully." Pang Miao replied, as if he hadn't heard the yin and yang melody of the Cao sisters, since he had nothing to do anyway, he should just practice calligraphy.

After finishing the order, Mrs. Cao didn't want to see Pang Miao anymore, so she waved him away.

When Pang Miao walked to the far door, he heard happy laughter from the room behind him.He waved and called Jinxiu, and they went for a walk in the garden together and then returned to Tingsong Courtyard.

Jinxiu heard that Mrs. Cao asked the young master to copy the family rules ten times, and complained for a while with the one-inch-thick booklet, and then prepared the Four Treasures of the Study.

Pang Miao smiled and tapped the little girl's forehead with a brush that was not dipped in ink, "If you have the time to complain, why don't you learn a few more words with me."

"Hmm—" Jinxiu covered her forehead and pouted, "Master, I'm just a servant who serves others, what's the use of knowing how to read?"

"If you get free one day, a well-educated girl can find a better husband, right?"

"That's right..." Jinxiu, who was struck by the words, immediately became excited, and worked hard to polish the ink, "Master, Master, teach me how to read."

Looking at the very excited maid, the corners of Pang Miao's mouth slightly raised, in a good mood.

When you get tired of copying books, you stop to drink tea and read books, or wander around Tingsongyuan twice.I heard that there are pines and cypresses planted in the pine courtyard, which is full of greenery and makes people feel comfortable. Pang Miaoting likes to see the pines and cypresses outside the window when he raises his head, and feels that the whole person is relaxed.

At noon four days later, Zhang Mu came back from Hanyun Village.

The gate of the courtyard was ajar, and Zhang Mu acted as if he was guarding the courtyard and guarding Songyuan, but in fact, he passed the message to Pang Miao who was standing inside the door through the crack of the door.

"The subordinate pretended to be a passing merchant, and because he was greedy for the mountains and rivers of Hanyun Village, he came to stay overnight. According to the young lady's order, he inquired about some news about the Pang family's Zhuangzi, and stayed outside the Zhuangzi for a while. On the second night, he quietly left Zhuangzi with two people and headed north. His subordinates also discovered...one of them was the murderer who was wanted by the nearby counties."

"Going north?" Pang Miao thought for a while and breathed a sigh of relief. "The checkpoints along the way are extremely strict. I'm afraid they won't be able to escape. As long as they leave Pangjiazhuangzi and have nothing to do with them..."

"Guan Tong followed them. After following for a long time, his subordinates originally planned to take Guan Shi away to avoid getting involved in trouble, but in the blink of an eye, the three of them disappeared without a trace."

As soon as these words were uttered, Pang Miao immediately became nervous after relaxing, "You mean... after leaving Hanyun Village, Guanshi Tong is still with the murderer?"

"Yes." Zhang Mu replied with certainty.

Pang Miao supported his forehead, closed his eyes, and felt that the big stone in his heart was getting heavier.

Why did Guanshi Tong get entangled with a murderer?If it is intercepted by the government, it will cause trouble for the upper body and implicate the Pang family!
