"Xiao Qi'er, eighteen years old, appeared in the capital two years ago, and has been relying on begging for a living. Before that, he lived in a dilapidated and abandoned temple in the south. He was submissive, timid, and often bullied by other beggars. Two days ago It was discovered that he had raped and murdered the eldest daughter of Cheng Jin, a pawnbroker, and dumped her body by the river. She is now being held in the Yamen Prison, and will be convicted and executed in about two days."

After hearing this, Wen Bangshi pondered in his heart, this Xiao Qier is indeed a good candidate, but he wonders if his timid character will be suppressed by that kid Wen Yelan.If he was caught by Wen Yelan, the effect would not be enough.

Wen Ziyao came back from the outside and looked at Wen Pangshi who was frowning and thinking strangely.She asked suspiciously, "Mom, what's the matter?"

Wen Pangshi explained it concisely to Wen Ziyao. Of course Wen Ziyao knew that her mother wanted Wen Yelan to marry. Hearing Xiao Qier mentioned by Wen Pangshi, she slapped the table and stood up in surprise and said: "Mother, is the Xiao beggar you are talking about the beggar who killed someone recently?"

"What a surprised look." Wen Pangshi was taken aback by her startled movements.

Wen Ziyao hurriedly pulled the stool into Wen Pangshi, leaned close to her and whispered, "Mother, that Xiao Qier is on trial at the southern yamen."

"So fast?"

"Mother, I think it would be good for Wen Yelan to marry that beggar Xiao. Think about it, he is a beggar and a murderer. After we help him escape, can he not listen to us?" And as long as Wen Yelan marries a beggar who killed someone, what will the common people think? Mother, do you need to talk about it?" Wen Ziyao's fair and beautiful face had a moment of ferocity.She didn't want Wen Yelan to stay in Wen's house, everything in Wen's house belonged to their eldest family.

Wen Pangshi was moved by Wen Ziyao's statement, he was just a beggar, could they still not be able to stop him?Thinking that Wen Yelan will be an adult in one month, this matter cannot be delayed any longer!

"Zhi'er, go find Fang Liang." Wen Pangshi said to the maid standing outside the door.

Zhi'er responded and hurried down to ask Fang Liang to be found.Fang Liang came very quickly, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Ma'am, are you looking for a villain?" Fang Liang asked respectfully, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Wen Pangshi hooked his fingers and asked him to come closer, and whispered something in his ear. Fang Liang nodded, turned around and left the room.

Fang Liang ran to the yamen in the south, and tiptoed to look at the situation in the courtroom from the outside. Inside, the governor was holding a complaint paper and reading Xiao Jin's crimes one by one.Fang Liang heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he had caught up.

Fang Liang took out the Wen family's badge and entered the inner hall of the yamen, and the yamen servant turned around to report.After the master came out, Fang Liang explained his reasons for coming.

"Mrs. Wen wants to protect Xiao beggar?" the master asked leisurely, stroking the white beard on his chin.

"Yes, my wife said, how would you like to exchange a hundred taels of gold for a Xiao beggar?" Fang Liang walked into the master and whispered in his ear.

"This matter is a bit difficult... Xiao Qier is a murderer. Our adults have always handled it impartially, diligently listened to the government, and ate the night clothes!" The master shook his head, narrowed his eyes into a line, and stretched out his fingers to do it with a smile. made a stealthy move.

Fang Liang sneered in his heart, he still listens to the government diligently, eats the night clothes, and is a bunch of corrupt officials.He pretended to be embarrassed, thought for a while, and said in a considerate tone: "Another 50 taels."

"Mrs. Wen has a heart." The master grinned.The Wen family knows how to behave, and they must also know how to do things. They can't demand too much money.

"Then Xiao Qier..." Fang Liang pointed to the court outside.

"Suddenly, new evidence came. The murderer turned out to be someone else." The master smiled and walked back to the court with his hands behind his back.

"Madam is right, money can turn ghosts, these officials are greedy!" Fang Liang walked out of the yamen, walked two steps away, and spat in the direction of the yamen.

Xiao Jin was escorted back to the prison by Wang Da and Wang Xiaoer.They threw him on the licorice in the cell, and Li Yuan walked in with a sullen face.As soon as Xiao Jin raised his head, he stepped on his abdomen suddenly, and vomited out the jaundiced water.

Li Yuan knelt down, patted Xiao Jin's face, and said in a deep voice, "You are really lucky."

Xiao Jin turned his head away, coughed a few times, smiled weakly, and said, "I also think my fate is really great."

"Bah!" Li Yuan spat on Xiao Jin's face, pulled his collar and pulled him in front of him, and he leaned close to Xiao Jin's ear, "I want to see how long your life is."

Xiao Jin reached out to wipe the saliva off his face, and looked at him mockingly: "If you don't keep it in your mind."

Li Yuan glanced at him and left with a dark face.Wang Xiaoer and Wang Da went out of the cell and locked the cell door, Wang Xiaoer glanced at Xiao Jin who was curled up in the corner, and said to Wang Da: "Brother, does Li Yuan have a personal grudge against this Xiao Jin? "

Wang Dada pondered for a moment and said: "These words are rotten in their stomachs. You don't care if they have any personal enmity." Li Yuan is narrow-minded. Although he looked down on Xiao Jin before, he hasn't reached the point where he wants Xiao Qier to die. To such an extent, I'm afraid that someone else wants Xiao Qi'er's life.

Xiao Jin clutched his abdomen and lay quietly on the licorice smelling of urine. Although the voices of Wang Xiaoer and Wang Dada were small, he still heard them.Xiao Jin remembered that Li Yuan once said a sentence before, "Some people want you to die, you have to die", this sentence is too ambiguous. Who is "some"?Member Liu?Or Fu Yin?Or is it someone else?

As soon as Xiao Jin crossed over, he was treated as a dead ghost and taken to prison. The only people he had contact with were Li Yuan, Wang Da and Wang Xiaoer. Today, he only met Fu Yin and the master.Ask the prisoners on the opposite side, they will only look at each other coldly, and in the end they only talked about the current dynasty in a joking way.And this dynasty named Zhu Song did not exist in Chinese history at all, Xiao Jin was confused by such a situation.

About an hour after Li Yuan left, the prison door was opened from the outside, and the shadows of four people were reflected in the light.

"Mrs. Wen, please come in." Fu Yin, who had a double belly, turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

Wen Pangshi looked at the environment in the prison with a little distaste, only to feel that the smog was so dirty that it was unbearable for a moment.Thinking of the hundreds of taels of gold she had spent, she could only grit her teeth and walk down the messy stairs.

"Mrs. Wen, this way please, the person you want to see is inside." The master led the people to the innermost room of the prison, and pointed to the person lying curled up in the corner for Wen Pangshi to see.

Xiao Jin faced the wall and squinted his eyes when he heard the noise behind him.Mrs. Wen?Who is it again?

Wen Pangshi held up a handkerchief to cover his nose, looked at the dying figure inside along the master's fingers, and frowned slightly: "Xiao Qier is he?"

"He is Xiao Qi'er. One year old, come and open the door." The master waved his hand and asked Wang One who was following them to come over and open the lock.

The cell door was pushed open, and Wen Pangshi frowned, followed Wang Dada into the dark, dirty cell with a strong smell of urine.

"Mrs. Wen, take your time to interrogate. We will wait for you outside." Fu Yin smiled and led the master out of the prison.

Madam Wen stood by the door and asked Xiao Jin, "Are you Xiao Qi'er?"

Xiao Jin didn't respond, just lay there quietly.

Mrs. Wen raised her eyebrows with displeasure, and her tone became sharper: "Xiao Qier, I am the eldest lady of Marquis Wen's mansion. As long as you promise me one thing, I will let you leave this prison."

Xiao Jin tapped the floor lightly with his fingers, and his eyes changed. He slowly propped up his body and leaned against the wall, raised his head slightly, and stared at Wen Pangshi with half of his eyes under the cover of his long hair.

"what's up?"

"I want you to marry Wen Yelan!"

"Wen Yelan?" Xiao Jin pondered these three words carefully in his heart, Wen Yelan...Wen Yelan...I seem to have seen this name somewhere!

Wen Pangshi looked at the messy Xiao Jin with disgust, and sneered, "That's right, as long as you marry Wen Yelan, I will let you out of this prison."

"It's that simple?" Xiao Jin sneered, he didn't believe in such a beautiful thing.

"It's as simple as that. Of course, marry a chicken as a chicken and marry a dog as a dog. I will be happier when he has a hard time." Wen Pangzi pointed out.

Xiao Jin heard the "he" in Wen Pang's words as "she", and sneered in his heart, it is already tragic enough that an ancient woman married a beggar like him.

"I see." This was his chance to go out. In order to leave this ghostly place, Xiao Jin could only say sorry to his future wife in his heart, and decided to work hard to make money in the future to make up for her.

Seeing that he agreed, Wen Pangshi showed a satisfied smile on his face, and his eyes softened when he looked at Xiao Jin.This beggar is not stupid, but he knows how to behave.Now there is one last move left, and Wen Yelan will be ruined for the rest of his life.Thinking of this, Wen Pangshi smiled more happily.

Wen Pangshi didn't know that Xiao Jin didn't understand the subtext of her sentence "I'll be happier if he has a bad life".If Wen Pangshi knew that he had harmed Wen Yelan, but in the end gave him a powerful boost, would he feel regretful?

Wang Yi stood in the corner with his head down, filtering their conversation out of his ears.The conspiracies of these wealthy families can only rot in their stomachs as if they don't know anything, otherwise they will be the ones who die in the end.Wang Da was suddenly glad he didn't let Wang Xiaoer come over.

Wen Pangzi got what he wanted and left happily.When Wang Dalai locked the cell door, he looked up at the person lying back in the corner again, and felt that this Xiao Qier was really mysterious.Someone wants his life, but someone saves his life...

After Wen Yelan listened to Daqing's report on Mrs. Wen's whereabouts, she tapped on the lid of the cup and waved for Daqing to go down first.

Standing by the side, Mei Xiang really didn't understand Wen Yelan's intentions, and asked, "Master, why didn't you stop Da Furen..."

Wen Yelan took a sip of tea and smiled, "Because I want to leave the Wen family."

Mei Xiang was even more puzzled. Ever since the eldest young master woke up from falling into the water, his behavior has changed drastically. He was much indifferent to some servants and maids, but promoted her. Mei Lan and Daqing were by her side, and the second lady also sent Mei Qing went to take care of her.

Wen Yelan didn't explain further, he actually didn't want to rely on this method to leave the Wen family, but it was too late when he was reborn.If he could have done it earlier, he would have been able to plan countermeasures in detail.There is still one month before he comes of age, if he hadn't left Wen's house, he wouldn't be able to leave in the future.Wen Pangshi was a very bold person, if he pushed her into a hurry, what accident would happen to him would be troublesome.

Wen Yelan raised her eyes and glanced at Mei Xiang, who was still pondering, and chuckled.In the last life, only Mei Xiang, Mei Lan, Mei Qing and Da Qing never betrayed him, and Wen Yelan did not avoid them in the matter of Xiao Qi'er.

There are some things they must know, after all, there are still many places around them that need them in the future.

What happened now is still within his grasp, thinking of Xiao Qi'er's dark eyes suddenly flashed in his mind, Wen Yelan frowned.
