Little Xiucai's Flowery Love History

The man ran in with Zhao Xing covered in blood. When Tao Linghua saw it, his heart tightened immediately. The scene was too bloody to scare the children, so he quickly waved his hand and asked his sister to take the children back with the maids. He ran forward and asked tremblingly: "Zhang Xin, what's going on? Did something happen to my elder brother?" Zhang Xin is a small military officer under Zhao Tai's subordinates, so something big must have happened, so Tao Linghua My heart was beating violently, and my legs were a little weak.

Zhang Xin threw himself on the snow, the wound on his right shoulder was still bleeding, dripping on the white snow, making people's heart skip a beat, he took a breath and said intermittently: "My lord was hijacked..." Before he finished speaking, he unexpectedly Passed out.

Tao Linghua was so startled that he almost fainted, and quickly grabbed Zhang Xin. Seeing that he was unconscious, he couldn't ask any questions for a while, so he had to call his second brother back first.

Instruct Zhao Xing to clean his wound first, bandage it up, and run to the hospital by himself.

As soon as Zhao Hua heard this, he immediately confessed to the patient, closed the door and went home.

Zhang Xin has woken up, but he can't move. The wound has been bandaged, and he has taken some medicine. He frowns in pain and tells the story in a hurry.

It turned out that this morning, Zhao Tai received the official reply and began to hand over official duties. In fact, he is an idle official, and he can finish the handover immediately, so he is in a good mood. He also said that he would ask his colleagues for a meeting before returning to his hometown in a few days.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly came to the Yamen to look for him. It turned out to be the servant of Lord Lin, the exiled member of the criminal department. After Lin Xu was released from prison, he passed away from a serious illness last month. I often help them.At this time, Zhao Tai said that there was something urgent, so he went, and came back an hour later angrily.He said that someone wanted to rob the Lin family's daughter as a concubine, but he beat her up and ran away, so he immediately asked them to pack their things and find an inn to live in to avoid the limelight.

Who knew that he went out with Zhao Xin in the afternoon, intending to find a house for the Lin family, and when he came back through a wilderness outside the city, suddenly dozens of Jinyi guards rushed towards him, holding the warrant of Governor Liang, wanting to take Zhao Tai.Dozens of masters, fresh clothes and angry horses, all of them have good skills.

Zhao Tai didn't believe it, and refused to obey, those people drew their knives together, and the two of them had no time to speak, so they drew their knives to fight, Zhang Xin was stabbed later, and only took his life when he passed out.It's just that after waking up, I found that my adults were gone, no one alive, no dead body.

Zhang Xin briefly described the process, and then endured the pain of the bone and said: "The little one has been chasing all the way but has not found it. He has already gone to the Yamen to report to the Shangguan before he came back. If the young master wants to look for it, the young one will bring the two predecessors." go."

Zhao Hua held him down and said, "Your injuries are serious, don't move, I'll ask myself." Tao Linghua immediately grabbed his sleeve and said, "Second brother, I'll go too."

Zhao Hua thought for a while, and said solemnly: "You watch at home. If there is anything, you should have someone in charge. When I come back, don't act rashly. This matter is not simple, there must be something inside." A horse, quickly went out and got on the horse and went away.

Tao Linghua looked at the horse going away, almost unable to hold on, he hastened to support the wall by the door so as not to fall down.

Gritting his teeth, he stood up straight and walked to the back house. There were only two women in the backyard, with a few children anxiously waiting for the news.

Tao Linghua kept his mind steady and couldn't mess up. If he messed up, wouldn't his sister and the others be even more afraid?

Then he ordered Zhao Xing to go find his brother-in-law and go home. Mu Ping and Mu Qi had gone out and would probably come back at night.

Tao Linghua had a premonition that this time, a catastrophe might be imminent.Could it be that the gods saw that their family was living a smooth life and sent disasters?

Suppressing the terrifying feeling of trembling, I didn't dare to think about it, I just kept the teacup in my hand but forgot to drink water, sometimes I sat there, sometimes I went out to visit, until it was getting dark, and after a while it was time for dinner, and no one was there Not coming back.But where would you be in the mood to eat?

The gray sky, the white snow all over the ground, oppressive and dull, the joyful and peaceful atmosphere before was swept away, the cold air

Rush to the end of the nose, making people breathless.

In the backyard, Tao Linghe and Wu Niang waited anxiously. Seeing Tao Linghua come in, they rushed up to ask what was going on.Tao Linghua himself was in shock, but he was a man after all, so he could only force himself to tell them to calm down. The second brother had already gone to inquire, and he knew when he came back. He took care of the children first and made dinner for them.

After dinner, Zhao Hua didn't come back either, so Tao Linghua could only watch from time to time at the door.

In the clear sky and broad daylight, the fourth-rank official who had just left office was hijacked in the capital, which is simply too bizarre.Could it be that the eldest brother has offended someone on a regular basis, so that he did it secretly?Although the eldest brother is a little irritable, he has never heard of anyone having trouble with him.Even if there was, no ordinary person would dare to touch him.

After wondering for a while, he found that Mu Qi hadn't come back, and even if he wanted to ask for news, he didn't know.The nanny came out of the door with Mu Xiu in her arms and said with a smile, "Young master is clamoring to see you, but I can't persuade you."

Tao Linghua saw that the boy had tears on his face and was about to fall asleep. He was still whining and calling Uncle Tao. He quickly hugged him and patted him. He asked the nanny, "Why hasn't his father come back yet?"

The nanny replied: "Yesterday, the master said that he would go out of Beijing to Tongzhou for business. It seems that he will be back tomorrow."

It was only then that Tao Linghua remembered that Mu Qi had said it, but he didn't take it to heart.Seeing that it was getting late, she said to the nanny: "It's cold outside, you can carry him to the backyard, my sister and the others are here. If you are hungry, there is food in the pot." The nanny smiled and took the child and went in.

Beside Tao Linghua's independent gate, the sky was getting dark gradually, but it was snowing again, gradually getting bigger, and after a while, he became a snowman. Zhao Xing and Chu Xin came out with big hairy cloaks. Zhao Xing persuaded him worriedly : "My lord, go back to the house first, the second lord will be back soon."

Chu Xin also said: "Yes, don't starve your body to death, eat something first, and think about countermeasures when you have news."

Tao Linghua waved his hands in despair and said, "Zhao Xing, you stay guard at the gatehouse, and I'll come."

Zhao Hua did not return all night.Tao Linghua stayed up all night.

The next morning, the snow fell harder and harder.Leaning against the door and watching from a distance, he saw Zhao Hua riding a horse covered in wind and snow and struggling forward, so he ran out to meet him.He asked eagerly, "How is it? Did you find Big Brother?"

Zhao Hua hugged him, lowered his head and nestled on his neck, his voice was full of sadness: "I was taken away by Dongchang, and I said that I was talking about the government and slandering the ministers."

Tao Linghua didn't believe it: "Brother always complains at home, why would he talk about this kind of thing everywhere?"

Zhao Hua took his hand to enter the door, and said with a wry smile: "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it! I found a few of my elder brother's colleagues and said that Jin Yiwei went to the official office first. I didn't see my elder brother, so I intercepted him on the way. I The meaning in their words is that the elder brother probably offended someone. No one would say what the reason and who he offended. "

Tao Linghua wanted to ask further, but Zhao Hua asked, "Have you eaten?"

Have a meal?Do you still have time to eat at this time of year?

When the two returned to the house, Zhao Hua said: "I'll come back first to report a letter to you, and then I'll go out later to look for my elder brother's colleagues and friends, as well as my father and grandfather's friends when they were in Beijing. You must hurry, otherwise, even If you are not guilty, the eldest brother will also be punished."

Tao Linghua saw that Zhao Xing brought the food, and immediately served it to Zhao Hua, and said in a hoarse voice, "Second brother, eat quickly, it's good to go. Is there any danger at home, do you want to pack up and go to other places to hide?"

Zhao Hua nodded and said: "Yes. First close all the stores, and transfer them if they can be transferred. First, tidy up everything and prepare to leave the capital at any time."

Tao Linghua was startled, grabbed Zhao Hua's hand and asked, "Brother..." He swallowed and swallowed the second half of the sentence abruptly. He didn't dare to say it, dare not think about it, for fear that it would become a prophecy!

But no matter how worried, what was supposed to happen happened.After waiting for a whole day in fear, Zhao Hua came back, hugged Tao Linghua tightly, and said in a low voice: "Have you packed your things? Take the children back to your hometown first. There is an old man in Songjiang Mansion who will protect you." .”

God, it collapsed all of a sudden.

Tao Linghua hugged Zhao Hua tightly, and asked breathlessly: "Did something really happen?"

Zhao Hua nodded: "Brother was imprisoned in Dongchang, and no one dared to protect him. This is clearly framed. I still don't know who I offended, and I want to put him to death so viciously."

Tao Linghua's ten thousand arrows pierced through the heart.

Zhao Hua said again: "Concubine Wan Gui is seriously ill now, the Holy Majesty has no psychological politics, Dongchang Liang Supervisor has full power over the government, who dares to oppose them? The last time Mr. Lin wrote a letter of impeachment, they were framed and imprisoned. Died of a serious illness...not good!" Zhao Hua couldn't help shivering: "It can't be that Mr. Lin was implicated. Big brother once wrote a letter to plead for Mr. Lin, I'm afraid he will offend others at that time."

The two discussed it all night.It's just that the ones who want to help are powerless, and the ones who are strong don't want to take risks.

I don't know what kind of crime Zhao Tai is suffering, and I don't know if he can regain his life.

Time passed bit by bit, it was already midnight, they went to bed, they hugged each other tightly, neither fell asleep, feeling each other's rapid heartbeat, in the cold night, only the temperature of the heart can warm each other.

Zhao Hua went back and forth for several days, but to no avail.

Hope goes out little by little.

Tao Linghua wandered under the east wall.Mu Qi came back yesterday.Mu Ping also came back together, presumably Mu Qi already knew what happened in his home.But he didn't care about it, and Tao Linghua felt a chill in his heart.

But now, only Mu Qi was missing.Only he was the most powerful person he knew.

But in the past few years, has he ever given him a smiling face or any benefit?I also once said the words of resoluteness that I would never meet again in the underworld. Although I didn't really sever the relationship, I never thought of asking him to do something. Now I want to ask him. How difficult it is to take this step. This sentence of begging for help Tao Linghua knew how difficult it was to speak.

But now that life and death are at stake, how can you care too much?Gritting my teeth a few times, I still climbed up the ladder.The ladder on the other side of the wall is still there, as if it is waiting for someone to climb up and down every day, but it has been abandoned for a long time and no one cares about it.

Cold reception and rejection are inevitable, but no matter what, even if you lose face, you have to ask.Tao Linghua jumped off the wooden ladder and walked straight to Mu Qi's courtyard.

I have never been here for several years, at most I have been in the living room.This small courtyard is similar to the one where my bedroom is located. It also has a study room, bedroom and bathroom, but in winter, the scenery is very bleak.It was already evening, the sky was getting dark, the house was already lit, and the figure on the window paper was shaking slightly.

Tao Linghua tentatively walked to the door, but found that the door was ajar and knocked lightly three times.Someone inside immediately said: "Xiaohua?" The next moment, two doors were opened, Mu Qi pulled him in, and said with a smile: "You finally came to me."

Tao Linghua gritted his teeth and said, "I'm here to ask for your help."

Mu Qi closed the door, pushed him to sit on the chair, poured tea for him and held it in his hands, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"My elder brother..." Tao Linghua drank tea inadvertently, put down his teacup, raised his head, and despite being rejected by others, he still spoke out: "My elder brother was taken away by Dongchang. I came here to ask you to help save him." " After finishing speaking, he stared at Mu Qi's eyes without blinking.This person knew that Zhao Tai was taken away, but he was still so calm.

Mu Qi's expression sank.

Tao Linghua's heart tightened.

Mu Qidao: "I knew that you would never come to my door if you have nothing to do."

"..."

Mu Qi sneered: "Do you know who he offended, and how difficult it is to save him? He offended Jian Liang's nephew! The last time he pleaded with Lin Xu, he had already offended him, and this time he injured him again. He is still seriously injured and has a broken leg, how do you think I can help?"

"Ah?" Tao Linghua was shocked. He knew when he wrote the letter, and hurt someone. Where did he start?

Mu Qidao: "Liang Jian's nephew Liang Chi is now at home. I heard that he took a concubine a few days ago and went to pick up his relatives and was injured. I just went to see him yesterday. The doctor said that he might be disabled! You are still ignorant! The situation is at odds, and now that Liang Chi has been seriously injured, how can Liang Chi spare him?"

When Tao Linghua heard what Mu Qi said, he felt that the lights were dimmed. When Mu Qi finished speaking, he felt that the sky was already dark, so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.

In the officialdom, the faction was already fierce. Now that the elder brother has resigned from office, he has no power and influence. Even if he is still in office, he can't afford to offend the supervisor.So it's a dead end, right?Even if there is no death penalty, with Jin Yiwei's methods, he will be tortured to death sooner or later.

Slowly raised his head, looked at Mu Qi, and asked in a hoarse voice: "So, there is no way out, right?"

Mu Qi said nothing.

Tao Linghua stood up slowly while supporting the handle of the armchair.

Mu Qi saw that he was on the verge of falling, and wanted to help him, but Tao Linghua knelt on the ground with a "plop", with blood dripping in his voice: "Please save Zhao Tai's life."

Mu Qi was helping him at first, but after hearing this sentence, he sneered and said, "I saved him? Who am I? Who am I? Who am I? Why should I save him?"

Tao Linghua raised his head and just looked at Mu Qi expressionlessly.Mu Qi looked at him with a gray complexion and dull eyes, as if he had no business at all. How could the person whom he cared about all the time not feel the grief in his heart?

But after thinking for a while, he said coldly: "I have no reason to help him! You go back!"

Tao Linghua looked at it for a long time, but Mu Qi turned around and ignored him.Tao Linghua had no choice but to get up slowly and walk towards the door.

Mu Qi suddenly thought of something and said, "Stop."

Tao Linghua turned his head, frowning slightly.

Mu Qidao: "If you abandon him and stay with me, I can consider saving him."

Tao Linghua's face turned red, then faded in an instant, turned pale, and finally turned around to leave, before going out, Mu Qi heard his weak voice saying: "We were born with the same quilt and died with the same acupuncture point, I will never leave him!"

Lord Mu's bedroom was lit all night long.
