"I was wronged!! Let me out!!!"

"Come here! You are wronged!"

"I want to see the prefect!"

Ruan Tao hugged the solid wooden prison pillar and shouted loudly towards the outside of the cell.

The same cell, the same people, the same words, it is not known who the yamen and Ruan Tao restrained.

"Stop yelling, brother. If yelling helped, we'd be out already." Said a burly man in a short shirt in the next cell.

"I was wronged!" Ruan Tao said.

"Ask the people who come here, who doesn't feel that they have been wronged?" said the strong man.

"The laws of Qin are strict. Even if you are Guanyin, you should be convicted. You can't escape." It was obvious that this man knew Ruan Tao.

"I'm not guilty! I just stood under the tree and ate a chestnut. Who did I provoke?" Ruan Tao sat down while supporting the prison pillar, feeling very wronged.

It was already noon at this time, even though the summer sun was baking overhead, the prison was still gloomy and cold.

Seeing this, the man sat closer to Ruan Tao and asked, "By the way, Ruan Guanyin, what did you do? How did you end up in jail?"

"Don't call me Avalokitesvara!" Ruan Tao felt dizzy just hearing these two words.

What did you do?Say it to scare him!

He lost the eldest son of Daqin.

But this matter really has nothing to do with him, he was just eating chestnuts under the willow tree, and he happened to be talking to Fusu!Unexpectedly, the person disappeared as soon as he turned around.

The three of Du Zimei who came back from buying buns saw Ruan Tao standing alone under the tree, and asked where the eldest son was?

Ruan Tao answered truthfully, they were so frightened that the buns were thrown on the ground, they quickly dragged Li Taibai and Zigong out of Hu Ji's tent, and started looking for Fusu's whereabouts separately.

Li Taibai mobilized the Dragon Guards who had been hiding in the dark, and began to search for the whereabouts of the eldest son all over the city.

In the huge Shangjun City, the merchants and tourists from various countries in the Western Regions, and the dazzling lanterns, almost turned the entire Shangjun City upside down. They even searched for the camel rings of the merchants in the Western Regions and the tents of the dancers in Yangzhou. , Fusu's whereabouts were still not found.

In the end, everyone had to accept the fact that the eldest son was lost.

And Ruan Tao, who was the only one who stayed by the eldest son's side at that time, became the first suspect as it should be.

The eldest son came to Shangjun firstly to train him; secondly, to stabilize the morale of the people and the army in the frontier. Now that the son is lost, naturally he can't talk about it with great fanfare and look for it with great fanfare, but he can't hide it from the higher-ups.

Now that no one can be found, Long Jinwei, as the imperial army directly under His Majesty, should report what should be reported.

Zhao Gao, who was in the Zhao Mansion, passed out three times after hearing the news.

He came to Shangjun to take care of the eldest son's life at the order of His Majesty, and now looking at it, the eldest son was actually lost in his hands!How dare he go back to Beijing?How dare you face the Holy Majesty!

"Take... that Ruan Tao... for our family!" Eunuch Zhao, who was so sick that he was almost a piece of paper, stretched out his pale and thin hand tremblingly in the tent.

Ruan Taoben was the first suspect. He was the only one present when the eldest son disappeared, so he returned to the prison of the prefect's yamen again.

Coincidentally, he didn't even change the cell, it was still the one he entered last time.

"Ruan Tao, someone is here to bring you food." The yamen servant said, opened the door of Ruan Tao's cell, and let him in.

Ruan Tao heard the movement and turned around to see that Du Zimei was standing at the door of the cell holding a red lacquered food box. He was wearing a lotus-colored robe, and he looked pale and haggard.

"Ji Zhen!"

"Zimei!"

Ruan Tao stood up, the two embraced tightly, and then Ruan Tao pulled Du Zimei to sit down on the small stool in the prison.

After Du Zimei sat down, she brought out the food and wine in the food box, served them one by one for Ruan Tao, and she also scooped up a bowl to eat with Ruan Tao.

"It's hard for you to run around every day to deliver meals to me these few days." Ruan Tao picked up a piece of crispy meat for Du Zimei.

"It was because of us that you suffered such an innocent disaster again." Du Zimei sighed, "Young master's whereabouts are still unknown, and everyone is so busy that they not only need to find the whereabouts of the young master, but also deal with how to return to His Majesty. You have to hide it from those who are asking around."

If the news of Fusu's disappearance is found out by other people with bad intentions, such as Hu people's spies, let them find the eldest son first, then turn around and use the eldest son as a hostage, threaten Daqin and His Majesty, the matter will really be helpless It's over.

Or, it would be even worse if some young master had some crooked thoughts at this time and secretly tore up the eldest son's ticket.

Ruan Tao now only hates himself for being greedy for two chestnuts, and now he has brought the matter to such a situation.

"Kong Ming said that there are too many people staring at you now, and you are all ours outside here, so it's safer." Du Zimei took a sip of sake, "Zigong asked me to tell you that he has written a letter back to Beijing Give it to his brothers."

"Why did he write the letter back to Beijing?" Ruan Tao asked nervously.

Could it be that Zigong is planning to call his brothers to Shangjun to rob the prison?

In Ruan Tao's mind, a group of Confucian disciples took him out of the prison with letters and swords, and finally a group of Confucian students were forced to go to Liangshan...

Du Zimei interrupted Ruan Tao's fantasy at the right time: "Of course he doesn't dare to reveal the eldest son's affairs, but it's okay to threaten Eunuch Zhao."

"Zigong sent a message to Eunuch Zhao, if he dares to use this to mistreat you and lynch you, let his seniors write articles scolding him and make him notorious forever! He said, how did you get in, you have to get out, If you have less hair, you will never end up with Eunuch Zhao!"

After speaking, Du Zimei smiled and said: "You don't know, after hearing this, Eunuch Zhao's pale face became even paler and paler, and he almost fainted again."

"I don't understand. I don't have any enmity with that troublesome Eunuch Zhao." Ruan Tao puzzled.

"You have no enmity with him, but you were the only one present when the eldest son disappeared. When the son is not found, His Majesty will ask the crime, so that he can use you as the excuse." Du Zimei said.

"What did he think?" Ruan Tao felt speechless, "Let's not talk about how I tied up the eldest son under the eyes of so many people and Captain Long."

"Even if he bites me to death and tells me to return to black magic and use black magic to make the eldest son disappear. Then why do I do this? What good does it do me?"

"Firstly, I have never had any problems with the eldest son, but I still have some friendship; secondly, I am not involved in the government affairs. I am just an orphan, my parents are both deceased, so I can't talk about any relationship with anyone in the court. Trapped the eldest son in unrighteousness."

"Our Majesty is the one emperor who has unified the six kingdoms through the ages, and he is not a fool! If he handed me over to me, will His Majesty believe it?" Ruan Tao said.

"Even you understand things, Eunuch Zhao, an old fox who has been in the palace for decades, can't understand?" Du Zimei put down her chopsticks, "Young Master disappeared suddenly, and he was also in a hurry, so he went to the doctor in a hurry."

"Going to the doctor in a hurry will only kill you." Ruan Tao gritted his teeth.

"Besides..." Du Zimei looked at Ruan Tao and suddenly became serious, "You may be young, and your parents didn't tell you, and your family is not not involved in government affairs."

Ruan Tao paused with his chopsticks: "What do you mean?"

**

The inside of the Zhao residence was messy and the outside was quiet for several days, and the relatives and nobles naturally saw the clues, but they didn't dare to ask more questions.

In the afternoon, in July, a Cuiwei clean oil truck stopped at the gate of the Zhao residence.

As usual, the gatekeeper said that the master of the house was sick and did not see any guests, so the person in the car stuck out his hand from the window and handed him a greeting card.

The gatekeeper read the post, and then welcomed the person into the west corner gate.

At that time, Zi Gong was discussing with Kong Ming, Wang Mang, and Li Taibai in Kong Ming's courtyard about Ruan Tao and the eldest son, and he didn't notice a small green cloth sedan chair parked outside the courtyard.

A branch of oleander in full bloom was picked out of the courtyard door, and hung silently by the wall.

The people in the sedan chair got out of the sedan chair one after the other, and a hand with clear and clean bones like jade knocked on the gate of the courtyard.

"Knock down."

Hearing the sound, Kong Ming got up and said, "I have a guest."

Afterwards, he ordered the waiter to make two more cups of weak tea, got up and opened the door himself.

Several people here are puzzled.

"At this time, who can come?" Wang Mang looked at the two new cups of tea on the table, puzzled.

"I told you!" Li Taibai picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said to Zi Gong, "This tea is called 'Xieyun', and it was made by his wife. You know, his wife gave birth to a pair of exquisite crystals. Heart, whatever you do is top-notch. For example, this tea, even the tea that His Majesty and Young Master donated to the palace is not as good as this tea."

"It's really good." Zi Gong said, "I can't drink such an elegant and sweet tea."

Everyone in the world knows that Zi Gong is the largest Confucian businessman in the world today, and he has a lot of wealth in his hands. It is really rare to have what he said is rare.

Li Taibai hummed softly: "This kid is very stingy, I asked him for a long time before he was only willing to give me a small pot. I said why I am so generous today, I took this tea out, It turned out that a distinguished guest came to visit.”

"It's hard work making tea, and I heard that Mrs. Huang's health has not been very good." Zigong said.

"So, I don't know who is worthy of this cup of tea today." Li Taibai looked out curiously.

Just as he was talking, Kong Ming opened the door and two people came in - both of them were eight feet long and dressed in light shirts.

One is as solemn as the wind under the pine, high and gentle; the other is as clear as the moon between flowers, with peerless elegance.

Seeing the two of them, all three present stood up in amazement.

"Shu Ye, Sizong? Why are you here?" Li Taibai stepped forward and asked kindly.

"They set off with me and Eunuch Zhao. I never thought that they would travel so lightly and arrive so many days later than us." Wang Mang was not very surprised.

Seeing Ruan Ji, Zigong understood the purpose of the other party's visit, and felt a little complicated for a while.

Ruan Ji has come, and I don't know what kind of chaos is going on in Beijing now.

However, the two of them went out of Beijing together with Wang Xiang and Eunuch Zhao, so they probably didn't know that the eldest son disappeared and Ruan Tao was involved in it.

Kong Ming led the two of them to their seats, Ruan Ji picked up the teacup and flipped the floating leaves, took a sip of the tea and said with a smile: "Shu Ye and I are here to see Guanyin! I wrote a letter to Brother Kong Ming a long time ago."

He never cared about these vulgar things, so when his father told him that he had an uncle who eloped and couldn't be contacted for many years, now that he finally got the news, he learned that his uncle and aunt died of illness in Sichuan, leaving only one son Followed the wandering to Shangjun.

Therefore, his father asked him to come to Shangjun to take his cousin home and record it in the genealogy, and then raise him well, saying that this older child has no parents, and he must have eaten a lot by floating outside alone. bitter.

When Ruan Ji heard this, he refused without hesitation!

He was not interested in these uncles, aunts, brothers and brothers at all, so he pushed the job to his nephew Ruan Xian.

The journey to the county was far away, and it was such a boring thing, so Ruan Xian naturally didn't want to come, but under the coercion of the elders at home, he had to pack some things and get ready to go to the county.

Unexpectedly, at this time, there began to be rumors that there was a "Guanyin" in Shangjun in Beijing, and it was so evil!

Talk about its tolerance: Walking is like the breeze blowing willows, and the tranquility is like the moon shining on flowers.You can also incarnate as Avalokitesvara sitting on a lotus, and subdue the thousand-year-old snake demon to protect the eldest son comprehensively.

Coincidentally, this Guanyin is none other than his cousin who is living abroad!

Hearing this, Ruan Ji instantly became interested in his cousin, whom he had never met before, so he took the job from Ruan Xian again!

Ruan Xian was originally reluctant to pick up his cousin who was far away, but after hearing the rumors in Beijing, he was also interested in this uncle, and was about to happily go to Shangjun , and was cut off by his uncle again.

At first, he thought that it would not be impossible for his uncle to bring him with him, and the two of them could take care of each other together.

Unexpectedly, his uncle said that he would take Ji Shuye to see the world together.

The two of them planned to go light and easy, and didn't plan to bring too many things. They walked slowly all the way to Shangjun, and took a look at the folk customs and historic sites along the way. It would be cumbersome to bring him.

When Ruan Xian heard this, he was so angry that he didn't eat for two days!

Before Ruan Ji entered Beijing, he wrote a letter to Kong Ming. The county was so big that they didn't know where Ruan Tao lived, so they decided to stay here now, and Kong Ming would lead them to meet Ruan Tao.

"When Sizong told me about this, I thought it was really novel! How could their Ruan family still produce a Guanyin? I don't know where the little Guanyin is now?" Ji Kang asked.

Hearing this, the few people here looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't speak.

Zigong chuckled helplessly: "Where is it? Your Guanyin is probably a broom."

Ruan Ji and Ji Kang: "????"

**

"You mean I have relatives?!"

In the prison of the prefect's yamen, the wine cup in Ruan Tao's hand was overturned on the table.

The prisoners in the cell next to him and across from him have been transferred away, in case others heard him talking to Du Zimei.

Du Zimei nodded: "Your renter's father and grandmother are still alive. Although your grandparents passed away, your uncle and aunt are also here."

"Your uncle Ruan Yu is currently the Minister of Taichang Temple, the head of the Nine Ministers, your grandfather Li Ding is currently the prefect of Lanling, and you have an uncle Li Chengyun who is currently the Minister of Guanglu Temple."

"Because of your parents, the relationship between Taichang Temple and Guanglu Temple is not good so far. They have to fight for three days and two days. There is no reason for them to fight, Your Majesty. It’s such a headache.”

"I... never knew." Ruan Tao was momentarily at a loss.

Suddenly, a bunch of relatives whom he never knew appeared, and he didn't want to get too involved with the court, but now what Du Zimei said was clearly telling him that he couldn't get rid of it.

The body given to him by God, his parents and relatives are all related to the court.

Now that the eldest son is in his hands, if he is not responsible for Ruan Tao alone, if he is a little careless, it will definitely affect the relatives he has never met.

It was also a great misfortune for them to have a grandson like him, and it was also a great misfortune for him to meet the eldest son Fusu.

Injustice!Injustice!

Ruan Tao looked up to the sky and sighed, then poured himself several cups of wine, and said, "Brother Kong Ming asked you to say these words."

Du Zimei was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

"You and Li Taibai wouldn't say these things to me for no reason. Brother Kong Ming did it for my own good and let me understand my situation earlier. As for Prime Minister Wang, I haven't gotten to know him well enough yet." Ruan Tao said.

"Wang Xiangren is actually very good." Du Zimei said, "Actually, brother Kong Ming asked me to tell you this mainly to reassure you. You have us, Zigong, Ruan family and Li family behind you. Eunuch Zhao can't blame you for what you have done."

Ruan Tao raised his glass to Du Zimei: "Thank you! I'm the one who caused you trouble."

Du Zimei raised her glass and touched him lightly: "Where is it? Also, Mr. Kong Ming asked me to tell you that your family members came to look for you today."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Ruan Tao couldn't take a sip of wine, and choked in his throat, "Wh-cough! What?"

"Your cousin Ruan Ji and his...uh, bosom friends." Du Zimei said.

"Ruan Ji?" Ruan Tao thought the name sounded very familiar.

Du Zimei nodded: "Ruan Jileiqian is the captain of the infantry, and with him is Ji Kang's current Zhongsan doctor. Both Sizong and Shuye are celebrities today, you must have heard of it."

Originally, Ruan Tao hadn't reacted when he heard the word Ruan Ji, but when he heard Ji Kang, he understood who these two people were.

Ji Kang sighed for a long time in "Guangling San" when his grandmother taught him to play the piano, but he didn't expect that Ruan Tao would be lucky enough to see the deity?

"Both of these two are officials from a family background. To put it simply, the court begged them to become officials, and they are not happy." Du Zimei said with a smile, "This is enough to show that you and Ruan Ji are indeed of the same blood."

"Kong Ming asked me to tell you this, and let me remind you first. According to the personalities of the two of them, this matter must scrape off two catties of powder from Eunuch Zhao's face. Let you do it in advance." Prepare yourself." Du Zimei patted Ruan Tao's shoulder and said.

The same is wrongly imprisoned, who would have thought that in just a few months, the gap would be so big.

Thinking that he was locked up here before, because he didn't have time to inform Zigong, there was no one who delivered the food in the end, but now not only every meal is good, but there are so many people helping him.

Ruan Tao only felt heavy in his heart, and couldn't tell what it was like.

He is used to being alone, whether it is the last life or this life, he has always been alone.

In the past, most of the ties were grandma and master, but after his two elders passed away, he was able to live well in that world alone, and he was still a light person, a room, and two taels of silver by accident.

Later, because of chance, he made friends with Zi Gong, so he reluctantly became concerned.

He originally thought that he would spend his whole life here lightly and carefree, but he didn't want to think that there were so many heavy things outside.

The so-called relatives and friends, the so-called family customs, and the so-called political interests.

Ruan Tao finished the meal in silence, and drank himself several cups of wine in succession, his heart still flustered.

After dinner, Du Zimei packed her things and prepared to leave.

When he left, he patted Ruan Tao's shoulder lightly, took his hand and said, "I know what you are thinking, and I also know that this time the accident is too big for you to accept for a while. You and your cousin , Brother Taibai is a person from the same path, but a fairy who wanders in troubled times."

"But if it comes, it's at ease. With these concerns, don't feel afraid and bored. This is how life is in this world. Don't take it as a burden. You are still you, and no one will force you to do things you don't want to do." I'm up to you to do it."

Hearing this, Ruan Tao laughed and said, "These words must have been told by Kong Ming."

Du Zimei's eyes widened slightly: "How do you know?"

"You learned how to pretend to be serious when you were young, and you will have to pretend in the future." Ruan Tao smiled.

"Who said, I wrote a poem yesterday to satirize Eunuch Zhao! Brother Taibai praised me for writing well!" Du Zimei said.

"Yo? What did you write?" Ruan Tao asked curiously.

"Stay at ease for now!" Du Zimei said while holding the food box, "I'll come and see you after dinner."

"Lucky for you." Ruan Tao said.

"That's right!" Ruan Tao stopped Du Zimei who was about to leave, "Did you tell them what I asked you to say?"

"Say it!" Du Zimei said, "Now, the Jujun has notified Zhuo Lingge with the official seal, and Zhuo Lingge said that it needs to be discussed in the long run."

Long term?I'm afraid that when the time comes, your eldest son will be able to directly supersede.Ruan Tao secretly slandered.

"Be good, I'll come to see you at night. Brother Kong Ming said that if it's early, it's tomorrow, and if it's late, it's the day after tomorrow. We will definitely pick you up." Du Zimei said.

Ruan Tao responded, and then Du Zimei went out with the food box.

After Du Zimei left, Ruan Tao was the only one left.

He had just eaten, drank several glasses of wine, and finally fell asleep on the haystack.

When he woke up, the sun was already in the west, and Du Zimei came to bring him food again. After the two had eaten, he secretly stuffed something into Du Zimei's sleeve. Zimei glanced at him without saying a word, and went back as usual.

At that time, the setting sun was shining on the dead branches, and Ruan Tao looked at the sky through the small window in the prison.

The hour should be right.

He stretched out his hand and held his breath to make a tactic, first he saw a wisp of smoke in his hand, then Ruan Tao became more focused, and finally a cluster of dark green fox fire was slowly burning in his palm.

Looking at the fox fire in his palm, Ruan Tao was very pleasantly surprised!

This is the first time he tried to use the power of a fox demon after he formed a demon relationship with Hu Chang. He never thought that it could be used?

Ruan Tao curiously poked the fox fire in his palm with the other hand, he didn't feel it was burning at all, only felt it was warm.

It seems that grandma really didn't lie to him!

But now, when it's not the time to be happy about it, Ruan Tao put away his playful thoughts and took out a few green willow leaves from his bosom.

This is what he pulled down from the willow tree that Fusu disappeared that day.

He put the willow leaves on the fox fire in his palm, and the green flame instantly turned blood red.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a paper figurine cut out of a yellow talisman from his sleeve, and placed the paper figurine on the fire in his palm.

The paper figurine seemed to come alive on the fire, first it jumped a few times when it was hot, and then yelled a few times, Yuanyuan sucked all the fox fire into his mouth when there was an excess on his small head, Finally let out a sharp and short scream, and fell on Ruan Tao's hands.

At this time, the originally yellow paper figurine was scorched black, and two characters were outlined by sparks on its body - Chengdong Girl's Grave.
