Chapter 43 The Secret of the Su Family
After Zhou Bangyan learned that Li Shishi was taken away by an unknown man, he went to Zheng Wending, a friend of the official Dali Temple Chief, to help him and asked him to send someone to find Li Shishi and others in Bianliang City.
However, for several days, there has been no news. Bianliang is so big that all forces are complicated. Even if it is Dali Temple, it is not possible to search for documents, and it dares not search at will. It can only follow the important roads at the intersections of the streets.
Until today.
Zhou Bangyan compiled music in Dasheng Mansion as usual. Suddenly, a servant came to him and whispered: There is news about Li Shishi.
Zhou Bangyan immediately left the work he had done and left the servant with the servant. As he walked, he asked, "Where is Shishi?"
The servant looked around and whispered: "The young man first met Miss Li in the west of the city. At that time, she and her maid walked out of the Lin Mansion in Qingping Lane. The villain happened to be nearby, so he ran into them."
Zhou Bangyan frowned and said, "Lin Mansion?" But he didn't know any official surnamed Lin.
The servant explained: "The mansion is not big. I heard from the people around me that it seems to be the mansion of a coach in the imperial guards."
Zhou Bangyan nodded, not taking a mere coach seriously, and said, "You continue, where has Shishi been now?"
The servant's face changed for a moment, looked around again, and continued, "The little one followed Miss Li and walked on the street for a long time, but she saw that she met Gao Shide on the street, and was forced to enter the back door of the Taiwei Mansion by Gao Shide's men."
Zhou Bangyan's face suddenly changed and he said furiously: "Why didn't you say it earlier! Hurry up! Lead the way to the Taiwei Mansion. If something happens to Shishi, I will not spare you."
The servant nodded quickly and took Zhou Bangyan to the Taiwei Mansion.
Gao Shide was the adopted son of the Taiwei Gao Qiu, known as the "Huahua Tai Sui". He often teases good women and is not ashamed of the scholars, but is shocked by Gao Qiu's tyranny. Most people have no choice but to deal with him.
At this time, Gao Yanei was chasing the lovely man who had just been "catched" in the backyard. He not only likes dignified women, but also likes some graceful girls. He enjoys chasing them everywhere and flees everywhere, and in the end he has no way to escape, so he has to run into his bedroom.
But when Gao Qiu met him with his followers, he would scold him and even confine him. Therefore, he only dared to do these things while Gao Qiu was away.
Just now, he knew that Gao Qiu was going to the schoolyard to inspect the imperial guards in the morning and to report to the emperor in the afternoon, and he could probably return home in the evening, so he went out to find a prey to come back.
In the backyard of the Taiwei Mansion.
Gao Yanei laughed and instructed his guards to surround the beautiful woman side by side, leaving only two roads in front and back. The road ahead was him, and the road behind led to his bedroom.
Although the woman was forced to retreat step by step by step by step by step, she looked calm and she was not panicked. However, he was even more excited. He liked such a calm woman. When he entered his bedroom, when he took out his eighteen "weapons", he saw that the woman was still calm or not.
So he was itchy and quickened his pace. The woman had to retreat quickly, and at the same time said coldly: "Shameless thief, you will be retribution."
The yamen turned a deaf ear and just laughed and continued to force her to retreat.
Suddenly, the woman bumped into the door frame behind her back, and there was no way out except to open the door and enter the room behind.
Gao Yanei rubbed his hands with a lewd smile, using his unique skills to "two dragons go out to sea", and reached out to push the woman leaning against the door.
In order to avoid his clutches, the woman was about to push the door in, but she heard a familiar cold voice: "Shide! What are you doing!?"
Hearing this reprimanded voice, Gao Yanei was immediately disgusted, with his hands back, a simple smile appeared on his face, and turned around and said, "Sister Su, why are you here? Don't say anything in advance, let me go and pick you up."
The woman also saw the woman behind Gao Yanei and said in surprise: "Ms. Su!"
The person who came was Su Wan. When he saw the woman, he said in surprise: "Miss Li!"
Seeing that the woman actually met Su Wan, Gao Yanei was immediately frightened and waved his hand quietly, asking his followers to retreat quickly. He shook his head and stood there like a child who had made a mistake.
Su Wan ignored Gao Yanei, walked to the woman, took her hand, and walked slowly towards the pavilion not far away.
When passing by Gao Yanei, he said to him in a deep voice: "You are beautiful tonight!"
Gao Yanei immediately looked sad.
Su Wan pulled the woman to the pavilion and sat down, and said to her with apology: "Miss Li, I've made you wronged. Fortunately, I've come in time, otherwise I'd really have no shame to see you."
The woman was Mingxia. After hearing Su Wan's words, she shook her head gently: "Sister, don't blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. But what is your relationship with Gao Yanei? Why is he so afraid of you?"
Su Wan looked at her deeply and asked back, "Miss Li, do you know Su Shi?"
Mingxia was a little surprised: "Is it the one who wrote Su Dongpo who wrote 'When will the bright moon come? How many people in the world don't know him? I used to sing his lyrics. Is Miss Su a relative of him?"
Su Wan shook his head and said in a leisurely manner: "This has to be traced back to the generation of my great-grandfather of the Su family. My great-grandfather and Su Dongpo's father Su Xun were brothers born to the same mother. Unlike Su Xun, my great-grandfather did not want to join the officialdom, so he moved to Yangzhou and started to go to business. Since then, he has no contact with the Su Xun family, who is an official in Bianliang, and his relationship has gradually become unfamiliar.
Until later, when Su Xun's son, Su Dongpo, came to Hangzhou to work, learned about my great-grandfather in Yangzhou, he often visited him. Although my great-grandfather had a bad relationship with Su Xun, he liked Su Shi, a knowledgeable nephew, very much, and often used his connections in the mall to help him.
It was also at that time. My grandfather met Uncle Gao Shi (Gao Qiu), who was the book boy next to Su Shi. Like his great-grandfather, he liked and even admired Su Shi very much. He loved the house and the underworld. Grandpa treated Uncle Gao Shi as his son and nephew. Therefore, Uncle Gao Shi also respected my grandfather very much.
So later, Uncle Gao made a fuss and often brought me to the Su family. I often came to visit him. Shide was not good at character, Uncle Gao asked me to discipline Shide for him, but I couldn't live in Bianliang forever, so he still became what he is today, alas."
After listening to Su Wan's talk for a long time, Mingxia slowly understood the reason. Unexpectedly, the background of the Su family in Bianliang was Gao Taiwei, who was in the deepest position of the holy family.
While the two girls were chatting, a servant walked to Gao Yanei's ear and said a few words. Then he followed the servant to leave the backyard.
Not long after, a shadow suddenly fell from the sky and hit Gao Yanei's bedroom door with a red light, and it was smashed directly with the door and wall.
The loud noise immediately alarmed the guards in the mansion and all came to hear the sound.
Mingxia was amused and crying when she witnessed Su Wan’s destruction of the door wall with her own eyes.
Su Wan said with some envy: "Xu Shaoxia is really affectionate to Miss Li. Even the Taiwei Mansion just wants to break through, aren't you afraid of causing a murder? Even Uncle Fang doesn't dare to do anything randomly, let alone his martial arts are not as good as Uncle Fang. This true love makes my sister a little envious."
Listening to Su Wan's boast, Mingxia's face turned slightly red. She looked at the guards who were coming and said anxiously: "Sister Su, stop talking, hurry up and stop the guards. The fight will really start later."
At this time, two imposing guards flew to the pavilion and said to Su Wan: "This place is dangerous, please move to the main hall."
Su Wan stood up and said softly: "This matter is all misunderstandings caused by Shide. I know the assassin too. Please let the guards take them away, so don't cause unnecessary casualties."
The guards saw the strange beautiful woman beside Su Wan and guessed what was going on. This was not the first time. So they bowed and rushed to stop other guards from fighting with the assassin.
...
Speaking of which, Xu Ziling learned about Mingxia being robbed at Yue'er, and immediately used all his strength to use his light skills, rushed to the inner city, asked someone for directions, and rushed to the outside of the backyard of the Taiwei Mansion. Seeing that the door was locked, he flew into the sky with his sword, staring at the most conspicuous room in the backyard and rushed over.
He was anxious and was not sure about Mingxia's location, so he had to make the biggest noise and lead the thief who robbed Mingxia.
However, he underestimated the foundation of the Taiwei Mansion, and among the guards surrounded, there were as many as half of the first-class warriors.
Just as he held Chi Xiao tightly and was about to fight to the death, the guards retreated.
Then he saw Mingxia sitting safely with Su Wan in the pavilion, and immediately felt like a monk, confused.
At this time, Gao Yanei was arguing loudly with Zhou Bangyan in the main hall of the Taiwei Mansion, and his voice resounded throughout the hall.
Zhou Bangyan said with a dark face, "What a savage Tai Sui! He openly robbed the girl of the people. If I go to the priest, I will see if you can protect you."
Lu Qian walked to Gao Yanei's ear and whispered a few words.
Gao Yanei's momentum suddenly rose, and he raised his head and said sarcastically: "You are just a musician in charge of organizing operas. How can you be afraid of you?" It turned out that Lu Qian said to him: Cai Jing has recruited that guy, but he is just a Xieluan in Dasheng Mansion.
However, Yanei understood what Lu Qian meant, who was Cai Jing? He was the same party as Tong Guan; who was Tong Guan? He was his father's mortal enemy. Therefore, this person is very likely to be Cai. Tong's subordinates, and with his father's support, he is even less afraid of offending him.
After hearing Gao Yanei's words, Zhou Bangyan blushed and said angrily: "Let's go and see, I, Zhou Bangyan, are incompatible with you!"
Gao Yanei only found it funny and was about to make fun of him, but Lu Qian pulled his sleeves. He turned around and saw Su Wan and others walking in.
Zhou Bangyan also saw Mingxia and others, and looked happy. Just as he was about to speak, a figure flashed past him.
But I saw a young man pinching Gao Yanei's neck and lifting him into the air with one hand.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the guards outside noticed the situation inside and rushed in instantly.
Su Wan shouted angrily: "Xu Ziling! What are you doing!? Do you want to implicate Miss Li and die together?"
Xu Ziling didn't think about killing him here. Seeing that the time was almost done, he swung his hand and threw Gao Yanei, who was in a disordered breath, and said loudly: "Gao Yanei, right? I don't care who your son is. If you mess with me, you won't even have a good life. For Miss Su's sake, I'll let you go for the time being. If there is another time, you will be killed!"
