Powerful ministers are husbands

"Crackling", the horse trotted towards the gate of the city briskly, raising a small amount of dust and smoke, and pedestrians who passed by consciously avoided it, leaving a path in the middle.

The guard's head followed the rhythm of the horse's hooves, little by little, completely oblivious to the approach of wanted fugitives from nearby counties.

Guanshi Tong swallowed his saliva involuntarily, gripped the rough rein tightly in his hand, and urged the horse forward with a forced calm.He lived for 50 to 20 years, and spent the first [-] years in his hometown. Although he lived in poverty, at least there was no danger. It was the first time in his life that a wanted fugitive got together and appeared at the emperor's feet.

If it is not done well, people will die.

Not only the eight members of his family died, but also the Pang family.

But the kindness of saving life is deeper than the sky and deeper than the sea, and the one he saved was the only seedling of the three generations of his Tong family.

This kindness, he has to repay it even if he dies.

Moreover, with Brother Lu's skills, not agreeing is also a dead end.

Tong Guanshi, caught in a dilemma, can do nothing but be cautious, and it is precisely because of his character of being careful and thinking before acting that they survived many crises along the way and came to the outside of the imperial capital.If he hadn't walked northward for a while and stumbled across a barrier, the three of them should have been locked in a dark prison by this time.

Ten zhang, seven zhang, forty zhang... Seeing that the city gate was getting closer and closer, Guanshi Tong swallowed frequently, his palms were wet, he wiped off the sweat on his forehead, and soon new sweat broke out. The heart is about to jump out of the throat.

When the carriage arrived downstairs at the city gate, the guards were still drowsy.

Guanshi Tong gritted his teeth and looked at the clearly visible streets of the imperial capital, knowing that he would be able to get rid of the danger of killing himself in a short time.

Just when he was about to get excited about breaking through the city gate, a loud shout exploded in the air.

"You trash who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun with your salary, but don't know how to do things!" Zhou Fuyin suddenly appeared at the lifeless city gate, and immediately dispersed the stagnant air, "I see that none of you want to live anymore! Tangtang At the feet of the Son of Heaven, what if spies from the Qi Kingdom sneak in?!"

Several guards trembled, woke up from their doze, and immediately apologized to Zhou Fu Yin with a smile, "It's hot, we just took shelter in the shade, and you came here in the blink of an eye."

"Hehe." Zhou Fu Yin sneered, raised his hand and pointed at him casually, "Why don't you routinely check this man who is about to enter the city?"

A few guards looked in the direction of his finger. There was a dilapidated carriage with a timid man sitting on the shaft.

Guanshi Tong's heart "thumped", the rein in his hand was loosened, the whip fell on his thigh, and the horse's pace suddenly slowed down.

"Hurry up and check it out! Do you want me to teach you how to check it?" Zhou Fuyin blew his beard and stared.

Scarface in the carriage noticed that the speed of the car had slowed down. He kept a straight face, a pair of bull's eyes fixed on the curtain, and reached into his arms to hold the dagger hidden in it.Lao Ding shrank for a while, then sat with composure.

The guards swarmed up to Guanshi Tong's carriage.

The feeling of fear made Guanshi Tong feel that he was about to spit out his heart.

When the sword was on the verge of breaking out, the guards who jumped in front of the carriage did not stop. They jumped over the carriage and surrounded a fat man dressed as a wealthy businessman next to him.

"Take out the public inspection and show me."

The guards shouted like hungry wolves surrounding a fat sheep, their eyes never falling on the dilapidated and unremarkable carriage.

The rich businessman was shaking like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, looking miserable, flipping through his baggage in a hurry.Zhou Fuyin stood there and watched coldly, and didn't come forward, or command other people to surround Tong Guanshi's carriage.

Guanshi Tong picked up his whip and urged the carriage to move forward unhurriedly, and the pleading voice of the wealthy businessman came from behind.

Lao Ding and Scarface heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, Scarface let go of the dagger, and straightened his ugly women's clothes.

The carriage left the city gate, and no one came to stop them from moving forward. After a false alarm, they trotted slowly to the gate of a house in the city.

"Hmph, after I see that man and find a way, I'll tear him into pieces as soon as that traitor comes back." Scarred face was angry, he lifted the hem of his skirt, jumped out of the carriage carelessly, and when he looked up, he saw On the plaque hanging at the entrance of the house, the word "Pang House" is dimly written.

"Okay, okay, keep your voice down." Lao Ding tugged on Scarface's sleeve, looking warily at the soldiers patrolling past in the distance.

Guanshi Tong quickly climbed up the steps and was about to knock on the door when a greeting came from the side, "Hey, isn't this Guanshi Tong? I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you in the imperial capital?"

Xue Jinyi bumped into them at the door by accident, and Lao Ding and Dao Scarian turned their faces away naturally, not wanting strangers to see their faces.

Tong Guanshi had a pale face, and said with a polite smile: "I have something to do, so I asked Madam Pang to make the decision. Is Mr. Xue here to visit Madam?"

"No, no, no," Xue Jinyi waved his hand, with a decent smile on his handsome face, he seemed neither close nor distant, "I'm just passing by, so I won't delay you." He glanced at the closed door of Pang's house , waved his sleeves, and walked away quickly.

Guanshi Tong watched Xue Jinyi walk away before he dared to knock on the door.

When lighting the lamp, Pang Miao had just had dinner and was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the coolness and drinking tea. He looked towards the courtyard gate from time to time, even though he knew that Zhang Mu would not be able to send back news at this time, and Cao Lv would have to wait for a while. Therefore, the current Tingsongyuan is the most deserted place in the huge Cao Mansion.

Until a woman at the front door knocked on the courtyard door, "Young madam, someone from your natal family came to look for her, a mother named Zhu."

How come I wish mom?It had not been a few days since Pang's house returned to Cao's mansion, Pang Miao felt strange, and said to the woman, "Please bring me here."

Not long after, Zhu's mother came, with a panicked expression on her face. After saluting Pang Miao, she glanced at the retreating servant out of the corner of her eye.

"Did something happen?" Pang Miao was worried that something was wrong with his mother.

Zhu's mother waved her hand and said in a low voice, "Guan Tong brought two people and came home this afternoon. He said that he wanted to see you, miss. It seemed that he wanted you to do something through my uncle. Madam thought that the matter It's not easy, send me to see you."

Pang Miao's heart skipped a beat, Zhu Mama didn't say anything, he also knew who Guanshi Tong brought, and it would be useless to blame Guanshi Tong at this moment, so he could only ask hastily: "Did you say anything?" ?”

Mother Zhu took out a letter from her bosom and stuffed it into Pang Miao's hand, "They were afraid that I wouldn't be able to explain clearly, so they wrote it down on paper. I hope Miss will come home tomorrow."

"I can't go out, Mrs. Cao doesn't allow me to step out of Tingsong Courtyard." Pang Miao said irritably, and was about to open the envelope when laughter came from the door.

Mother Zhu just wanted to speak, but immediately shut her mouth tightly.

The gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and Ru Yi, the master and the servant, stepped into the threshold while chatting and laughing like a spring breeze. When they saw Mrs. Ba Shao standing in the courtyard, they only slightly bowed their knees to salute, and then turned to the side courtyard.

Pang Miao waited until he could no longer hear the laughter, so he took out the letter to read.

Abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and the swallow will not return to the spring.

There are only eight characters on the letter paper, and the handwriting is correct, probably written by the middle-aged man.

"Could they be the people of King Yan?!" Pang Miao whispered to himself, raised his hand and hung the letter paper on the candle, watched the bright flames gradually devour the black and white words on the paper, and when the words on the paper were reduced to ashes, he threw away the rest .

"Guan Tong and the others seemed very anxious, saying that they must meet Miss Shang." Mother Zhu said.

Pang Miao stepped on the yellowed remnant paper, crushed it vigorously, his complexion was not good, "Cao Lu is not in the house, I can't rashly conflict with Mrs. Cao, there is really no way to get out of Tingsongyuan, the earliest We have to wait for more than half a month. How about this, you go back and tell them that if you are at ease, you can communicate by letter, there is no other way."

"Yes." Zhu mother replied.

"By the way, do they live at home?" Pang Miao asked again.

"No, after speaking with Madam, I wrote this letter of trust and handed it over to you, and then left, saying that I wanted to find another place to live."

"Is Guanshi Tong still with them?"

"A place was arranged for them, and he came back."

Pang Miao breathed a sigh of relief, "It's best if you don't get entangled." However, he was a little curious about what secrets these two former Yan Kings would reveal—what he had seen and heard along the way was enough to show that King Yan knew what to do when he was suppressing. There are too many old departments, which is why there is a noise about the wanted criminals, so that no one will slip through the net.After these old minions were hunted down, they were disheartened and hated the ruthlessness of the old masters, and the enemy's enemy is a friend, so they came to Cao Lv.

Maybe this is an opportunity to bring down King Yan, just to take a risk.

After Zhu's mother left, Jinxiu found that Ruyi's maid was hiding at the gate of the side courtyard looking around.

"Miss, that Aunt Ru must be playing tricks again." Jinxiu said unhappily.

"Let's be more careful." At this time, if we raise our defenses, isn't it just to tell Ru Yi that there is a problem on their side?Pang Miao squeezed the space between his eyebrows, "We'll see what news we have tomorrow, and we'll go back to our room and continue copying books."
