Anyway, Chen Pi is the second master's apprentice, and being thrown into prison by the fourth child probably taught him a lesson.But Sanniang didn't expect that Chen Pi would be tortured like this.

Sanniang frowned: "How did you do this? Did the fourth brother really do it?"

Ji Lan beside her was also a little surprised, she shook her head to express that she was not clear about the grievances here.

As soon as the two came in, Ben lowered his head, the half-dead Chen Pi opened his eyes, looked up and saw that it belonged to the Huo family, and lowered his head again.

Seeing his actions, Sanniang felt unhappy: "What? You don't want to see me?"

Chen Pi really didn't have much strength, so he managed to catch his breath: "Did Gentian beg you to come?"

"Good idea! I came here by myself! It has nothing to do with Xiao Jiu and half a dime!" Sanniang replied bitterly.

Ji Lan heard the saying that there is no 300 taels of silver here, and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Chen Pi smiled, causing the wound in his chest to get involved again, and coughed for a while.

"Okay, look at your pitiful appearance. Tell me, what is the entanglement with the fourth child that you can't get out of this quarrel? He doesn't even care about your master's face?"

Chen Pi didn't answer, but asked, "Who knows you're here today?"

Sanniang would be wrong: "Don't be wishful thinking. I said it has nothing to do with Xiaojiu, I came here by myself, she doesn't know!"

"Okay, okay...has the Buddha returned?"

Sanniang raised her eyebrows: "I haven't returned yet, but it's coming soon. According to what you mean, can only the Buddha save you? It seems that you have offended the fourth son... Let's talk about it, our Huo family is not without It's up to you. Since I'm the second brother's apprentice, no matter how much I hate you, I have to fish you out."

"Yes, I forgot. In the past, the Huo family was always the head of the nine sects..." Chen Pi thought for a while, worried that the Buddha and the master would come back, and he would be too busy to take care of himself.But I am worried that this is not something that can be solved on the surface of the rivers and lakes.So he had no choice but to compromise, saying: "Si Ye is selling opium/pills, I found the evidence and caught him. He just wanted to force me to tell where the evidence is."

"What! Don't be kidding!"

"Listen to me. He colluded with foreigners, which is not something we can solve internally, so I wasted so much, waiting for the Buddha to come back to preside over it. But the Buddha's trip is dangerous, and I don't know what it will be like when he comes back. I also ask Master Huo to plan ahead. most."

"Just talk about how it's so abnormal. You wouldn't joke about such a thing. Just one point, can the evidence be well hidden?"

Hiding it in an irrelevant and extremely safe place, the fourth child will definitely not find it even if he tries his best. "When the Buddha comes back, I will pick it up myself."

"Okay." A smart person saves effort by talking. He doesn't ask her if he doesn't tell her. It's not that he doesn't trust her, but it's something important. The fewer people who know it, the higher the probability of hiding it. "When the Buddha comes back, I will tell him as soon as possible. When your master finds out, he must immediately beg the Buddha to bring troops to release you. These days, you can bear it for now, don't be overwhelmed."

Seeing his bloody appearance, Sanniang couldn't help sighing: "Come quickly, I know that the methods of the three families are vicious, and I didn't expect to be able to do it to my own people. You see, you are so overconfident. If you really find out something, you will be fine." Bump forward by yourself? Don't hit your head and break your blood? Don't look at your identity? Little junior, think you can handle it on your own? Don't weigh it, don't have any self-knowledge..."

Only then did Chen Pi know what Qin Gentile meant by saying that Sanniang's words could make her angry, and when it was, she had to make some sarcastic remarks before she was willing to leave.

--------

Sanniang quietly visited the prison. First, she went to the Foye's mansion to get to know Xinyue. The first thing the Buddha saw when he came back must be Xinyue. She had to help pass the message; In Jiuye's mansion, there are many people and strength, and with Jiuye sitting in charge, I feel more at ease.

After the two made some arrangements, it was getting late, so Sanniang was left for dinner.

"I heard that you and the second master have settled down?"

"You really like gossip, don't you?"

Master Jiu adjusted his glasses, and said with a smile, "Isn't this about friendship and unity between the nine families?"

"It's nothing at all, but I'm bored. The people below are very nervous, and they make things more serious."

"Oh? So you don't think about marrying and becoming a concubine anymore?"

Sanniang almost spit out a sip of tea: "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm going to be a concubine? Are you crazy?"

Master Jiu played with the cigar in his hand, but he didn't light it, he just smiled: "You looked like you were going to die at that time, and all your thoughts were lost. Isn't it worth being a concubine?"

Sanniang put the teacup heavily on the table: "If you talk like that again, do you want to break up with me?"

Master Jiu laughed and laughed: "Be careful, this is a set of pastels specially prepared for you as a guest. If a corner is missing, you and I will feel bad... It's good if you can think about it, after all, they are a young couple. Three years old, but very affectionate, where can there be a place for a concubine?"

"You really said you're addicted, Mrs. Open your mouth and shut your mouth..."

"Okay, okay... It's all said and done, so what are your plans now? Mancheng Junjie is still waiting for you to choose, and you still have to delay?"

"Worrying about my marriage again so soon? You should take care of yourself first... Oh, no, I forgot, you have a lot of little girls, but no one is urging you. It's just that you shouldn't mess around No matter what, you have to pick a bright matchmaker to marry back home, right? The house is full of women but there is no one in charge, so it’s inevitable that it’s inappropriate."

Jiu Ye's glasses flickered under the light: "They are just poor little girls. If there is someone who likes them in the future, I will marry them off. I don't dare to mess around, so I don't have to delay them."

"It's a bit cold for you to be like this. I remember that there are quite a few people who have followed you for several years, but they don't have a name. It looks very pitiful."

"Originally, they are not considered famous, so how can we talk about giving them? I only regard them as maidservants and younger sisters."

"Oh? Are you still a sentimental species? You can really joke when so many little sisters are still in their arms."

Master Jiu sighed and sat up straight: "You also know that there are many sisters in my family and few boys. My parents taught me to take good care of my sisters since I was a child. This has formed a habit, and I will pick up poor girls when I see them. There are a lot of coming and going, but they are all working in the yard. You see, when I talk about things, there are always servants by my side."

It was rare for Master Jiu to explain so seriously, but Sanniang was a little embarrassed to hear it, and always felt that there was something weird about it.

"Okay, okay, tell me what to do. You should think about how to explain it to your future sister-in-law. That's the right thing to do."

Jiu Ye lowered his head and smiled, adjusted his glasses: "Isn't it?"

"But having said that, the elders in the family are pressing, so you can help me? The rest doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is that the child must have the surname Huo, and must marry into the family... Sigh, our family rules are strange... But You have married many sisters to good families, you must be very good at matchmaking, you have to help me with this."

Master Jiu looked at Huo Sanniang, full of sincerity, with a look of certainty in his eyes: "It's nothing. Your daughter is the head of the family, and the daughter born will be named Huo, and the son, just follow the father's surname. Don't worry, I will definitely marry you beautifully."

"Seeing how confident you are, you must have someone in mind? Then I can rest assured and leave it to you!"

--------

It didn't take long before Foye and his party returned to the city. Somehow they encountered something. The entire group was very sick, especially Foye, who was almost unconscious and was carried into the house.Fortunately, Xinyue knew the seriousness, so she insisted on letting Buddha give an order to send Adjutant Zhang to bring out Chen Pi.It's just that although Chen Pi was able to resist, he still resisted for more than half a month, but in the end he hurt his body and was rushed to the hospital.Excessive blood loss, also groggy.That's good, it's convenient, Adjutant Zhang has sent heavy troops to protect him, and if the Buddha is back, the fourth child can't get over the sky, so it won't be a big problem if he thinks about it.

Qin Gentiana had never seen Chen Pi so weak, and his heart ached.Huo Jinxi, the adjutant, eighth master, and ninth master were all very busy, and no one cared about her, so she packed up her clothes, ran to the hospital to get an extra bed, and stayed by Chen Pi's side.

As soon as the second master came back and saw the girl, he knew that she was not in good health. He couldn't see anyone for a while, and he just stayed with the girl wholeheartedly.The Buddha fell down, the second master didn't care about anything, Xinyue dispatched people to find a way to save the Buddha, the eighth master had a lot of things to study, and the investigation of the fourth master was spread on Huo Sanniang, the adjutant and the ninth master.Anyway, Buddha handed over the power to the adjutant, so the investigation went smoothly.It's just that Huo Sanniang was worried that the fourth dog would jump over the wall in a hurry and take revenge on Chen Pi and Gentiana Qin.

So they sent people to take Chen Pi and Qin Gentiana from the hospital back to the Geshan Building. There was a building there, and there was the Qimen Dunjia of the Eighth Lord in the yard. Outside the yard were the Huo family, and outside the mansion were the Buddha's people. I am afraid that there is no one in the whole Changsha city. Dare to make trouble, Sanniang felt relieved.

A lot of evidence, such as ledgers, correspondence, and where the tangerine peel is hidden.Anyway, not long after he came out, he was still lying on the bed sickly, so he took out the evidence and handed it to Huo Sanniang.The investigation was almost complete, and the Jiumen took over the opium/pill shop of the fourth child in one fell swoop, cut off the way of importing and exporting goods, and also followed the vine to touch the connection with the British Consulate.It's just that they can't intervene in foreign affairs. They can only sit in Changsha to deter foreigners and make them dare not be presumptuous.Buddha also left a message when he was awake, saying that since the fourth son is a member of the Nine Schools, he can't be killed directly, and the Nine Schools have to interrogate together, and then elect a new fourth master.

This is also the reason, the property of the fourth family cannot be allowed to go to waste, and it must continue to be raised no matter what, the nine admirals are indispensable.

Everyone was busy, so this matter was put on hold, and only the fourth child was besieged in the mansion, and a verdict would be made after the Buddha woke up.
