Chapter 46 The sound of wind and rain at night (1)
Xu Shen has not been imprisoned in the county jail, but has been controlled at home... in the hall, under the supervision of a group of people.
In the past, this was the place where he held a banquet to entertain guests. When he did not clearly express his relationship with the Wang family, there were endless people who interacted with him. Now, except for Sun Runnian, who could be called a confidant, who would come here often, others gradually stopped contacting each other. Even the family of Yixing Xu has not yet heard of news.
In fact, Xu Shen had no hope for the family. The Yixing Xu family, who became a joke among many aristocratic families, was famous for being snobbish. Anyone who was not good for the family would decisively abandon it. Yixing Zhou family was a lesson from the past. Now, Xu Shen is like this. Even if he comes from the Yixing Xu family, it seems that he has been abandoned now.
Just now, the uncle and nephew of the Yu clan of Kuaiji were also there. Although they had a conversation, Yu Zimei's tone did not change because she grabbed Xu Shen with her own hands. She even smiled and said: Yu Nanzi would still marry into the Xu family... How obvious is this. The court's handling of the matter did not even take charge of Xu Shen's family, but looking around, Xu Shen's son... It would be better not to say it, this is clearly indicating that Xu Shen, you are finished, your property belongs to our Yu clan.
Xu Shen could only breathe, although he was full of bitterness in his heart.
One wrong step, one wrong step.
What hope can he have? The hall is empty, and valuable items such as literary, calligraphy and painting have been transferred to the Wen brothers and Yu family as gifts. So he was trapped in the central position and looked around, all of whom were guardians. Putting aside his original identity, he was nothing more than a middle-aged literati with no power to tie up a chicken. Can he escape from the guards of these martial soldiers?
Obviously it is impossible.
He could only sit there alone, looking out through the window, looking at the slowly moving clouds in the blue sky, and not even thinking. He really didn't think anyone could come to him. As a county magistrate, he had never seen the person who was caught in his career who had escaped.
There was a sudden noise outside. After a while, the door was opened and a woman walked in.
A woman who is not a beautiful woman, time has carved many traces on her body, and it is very different from those singers and dancers in the house.
"Langjun." The middle-aged woman stopped in front of Xu Shen, pursed her lips, and after calling out her name, she didn't know what to say.
Xu Shen was indeed a little surprised. Unexpectedly, at this time when he was most frustrated, his wife Zhang, who had been treated coldly, appeared in front of him. He raised his head and looked at Zhang. Seeing her blocking the sun, there was a light behind her, but her face was a little dark, so dark that even her wrinkles were blurred. This woman seemed to have returned to youth.
"Why are you here?" After a while, he suppressed the surging of his chest and tried to open his eyes to prevent tears from falling. "Where are Langer and the others?"
"Langer is in his room. Although there are people watching outside, he can walk around freely." Zhang did not explain why he came over, but his eyes moved away from Xu Shen with a little dull look at the Wu Zu who was surrounding him.
Xu Shen was a little impatient and lowered his head, as if his wife, who had been neglecting, saw what she was going on now, which made him very unhappy. He said in a cold voice: "Have you finished watching it? Let's leave after watching it."
"Yeah." Zhang did not refuse, nodded and turned around and left, then stopped in front of the door, without looking back, and said softly, "Just just now, Wen Huan escaped while she was in trouble, and she didn't know what the situation is now."
Xu Shen smiled and did not answer. If he couldn't find out her recent changes, he would become a fool. It would be better if he left, so he didn't have to worry about it.
He didn't know when he would wait, nor did he know what was going on outside, whether Sun Runnian had attacked the Wang family; whether Xu Heng had already separated himself from him; what would happen if Puxiang real person heard about his news; what was his thoughts on the family, and he really wanted to abandon himself... It's unknown.
Time passed quickly, and through the windows, the light became dimmer. In addition to the approaching dusk, the sky became cloudy, and the clouds were getting more and more, but it was dark and not rendered by colors.
The door slammed open again, and then he saw Wang Ningzhi walking in, but he didn't plan to speak. He walked around here and planned to leave.
"Is it to show his identity as a winner?" Xu Shen's eyes kept hitting him after Wang Ningzhi came in until he was about to leave, and he asked for a while.
Shaking his head, Wang Ningzhi approached Xu Shen, and in that direction, following Xu Shen's gaze and looking out the window. He did not smile wildly as Xu Shen imagined, but said with some pity: "There is nothing to be proud of. I was forced to take action, right? Without Xu Lian's case, you and I don't have much chance to date, let alone make enemies. It's just that Lao Xu, you really went wrong, and you have too strong personal consciousness. But I feel that I was implicated at the beginning and wanted to attack Wang..."
"That's just an opportunity." Xu Shen interrupted Wang Ningzhi's sigh, "Because the Wang family defeated the Zhou family of Yixing, Xu became a laughing point... However, Wang Shuping, as a teacher in the school, you are really a bit insignificant. You should be an official..."
Wang Ningzhi waved his hand and smiled sarcastically: "Are the official of this era? Forget it, a lazy person like me, it's good to teach and teach for the rest of his life." After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Xu Shen to continue speaking, and said to the martial arts soldiers around him: "You go and have dinner, and change a group of people in."
Wu Zuo responded and walked out and closed the door. Xu Shen was the only one left in the empty hall. He was tied up with his hands and feet with his backhand. Even though he had been numb because he had maintained a position for a long time, he didn't move for a moment, and he was not worried about running away. Xu Shen tried it a few times, but couldn't untie it, so he had to give up and look up at the sky.
Not long after, a group of four martial soldiers walked in. Xu Shen took a casual look and saw that the first one was a new face, so he didn't care much.
However, the expected quietness never came. After these martial soldiers came in, they did not make loud noises, but the rustling sound kept disturbing his purity. Xu Shen looked over and saw the familiar face, his eyes widened, and said in surprise: "Madam?"
Four martial soldiers: Zhang, the old man in the gatekeeper, and two strangers, who were said to be strangers, but now they carefully identify them, but they can also tell that they were slaves in the original mansion.
"Shh..." Zhang signaled him to silence, and then said while helping him untie the rope, "Take off your clothes and change into this one... The four people were knocked out just now and will not be discovered for a while. Lang... Jun, hurry up, Qian Wu will take you out."
"Madam..." Xu Shen was a little cold in his hands and feet, and was a little stunned at what happened in front of him, and at the same time he felt very absurd. This was his wife who had been neglected for many years. He was originally very dissatisfied, but when he was in trouble, he took such a big risk. On the other hand, the concubine he loved escaped first. This comparison really made him feel cold. But fortunately, he knew that it was not a time of random thoughts, so he hurriedly took off his coat with Zhang's help, put on a military squad, and then looked at Zhang pointing at Qian Wu, the old man in the gatehouse who had been unintentionally taken as a slave.
Qian Wu, perhaps it was not until now that he knew his name.
"You go quickly, Qian Wu is very familiar with the path to the mansion." Zhang put Xu Shen's clothes on him and glanced at him deeply, "If you can escape, you don't have to worry here, you... must be alive!"
Xu Shen nodded heavily and followed Qian Wu who was leading the way in front of him and walked out of the side door, but he didn't see the guard. I didn't know if it was solved or there was no guard at all. He didn't have time to think too much, so he followed Qian Wu.
Although Qian Wu was old, he walked a little quickly and was very familiar with the farmland. Someone seemed to have figured out wherever he met. When he met someone, he would walk slowly. Even if he was asked about it, he could deal with it. In this way, he walked thrillingly to a very remote area. It was very close to where the slaves lived. The closer he got, the more stinking it emitted.
Until a half-person-high mouth in front was exposed, Qian Wu stopped and said breathlessly: "Don't mind, you only clean the toilet here on weekdays, but no one else knew about it. If you go out from here, there is a path that you can walk out along the path."
"you……"
"My husband saved my life. Now I am just saving my life. There is nothing wrong with it. Don't worry, please leave quickly."
