Lao Qiang's surname is Lao, with a single name of Qiang. He sells tofu in the vegetable market in Xiaofang to make a living, so everyone is used to calling him Tofuqiang. At this moment, Tofuqiang was forced into the end of a dark alley by several Jinyiwei in plain clothes. He asked in panic: "What do you want to do? This is under the feet of the emperor, and it is in broad daylight..."

Before Tofu Qiang finished speaking, he was kicked in his lower abdomen and bent down like a cooked shrimp on the spot. The bag of medicine in his hand also fell to the ground.

The Jinyiwei, the leader, bent down leisurely and picked up the medicine bag on the ground, opened it and pulled it a few times, then leaned under his nose and smelled it. Finally, he pinched Dou Fuqiang's neck and said with a grim voice: "Who did you buy these medicines for?"

With a few fierce men facing each other, Tofu Qiang dared not hide it. He resisted the severe pain in his lower abdomen. Zhan Zhan replied in shock: "I bought it for the maid of the Xu family. The young man earned more than ten cents and ran to refund the money."

"Which Xu Mansion?"

"Governor Xu Jin, Zhili!" Doufu Qiang replied.

But with a muffled sound, Tofu Qiang's eyes suddenly burst, and his neck was tilted to one side, and blood oozed out of the corner of his mouth. The leader of the Jinyiwei let go of the hand holding Tofu Qiang's neck, and the latter's body slowly fell against the wall.

"Treat it!" The Jinyiwei, the leader, was one of Lu Bing's confidants, named Zhang Huan. He took out his handkerchief and wiped his hands, gave an order and turned around and left.

In the Jinyiweibei Town Fushiyaya, Zhang Huan reported to Lu Bing: "Sir, the maid of the Xu Mansion has repeatedly slapped the hands of vegetable market vendors to scratch the wounds, which is clearly to cover up. From this, it is inferred that Han Dajie was most likely hiding in the Xu Mansion to recuperate his injuries."

Lu Bing's face was very cold. This was the news he least wanted to hear. Han Dajie was undoubtedly a sharp sword hanging above his head. Now the sword fell into the hands of the Xu family, but Xu Jin was not a mortal enemy he could provoke at will.

What should I do now? Once Han Dajie has the opportunity to tell the truth in front of the emperor, I guess the emperor will not spare himself even if he cares about his old feelings. What the emperor hates the most is to betray and deceive the people he trusts around him. What's more, the consequences he caused this time were quite serious, almost cutting off the Ming Dynasty. Now the Tartars army is still attacking fiercely outside the city and not retreating!

When he thought of the possible punishment, Lu Bing burst into tears and felt confused. Zhang Huan said carefully: "Sir, Han Dajie is probably in the Xu Mansion. Why don't we forcefully search the Xu Mansion in the name of arresting the imperial prisoner?"

"No!" Lu Bing shook his head decisively. With the emperor's favor for the Xu family, he would definitely alarm the emperor once he led someone to search. At that time, the matter would not be hidden, so the best way was to kill Han Dajie without knowing it. In the least, it would not be related to him.

Lu Bing's thoughts turned, a cold light flashed through his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The public security in Beijing has not been very good recently, and burglaries often occur."

Zhang Huan immediately understood and echoed: "That's true. I heard that even the Censor Zhou's home was stolen, and two maids were stabbed by the evil man. Now the thief has not been caught."

Lu Bing said righteously: "Now that the enemy is in front of us, it is inevitable that there will be criminals taking the opportunity to cause trouble. Since these lawless thieves dare to steal the Zhou family today, they dare to steal the Yan family tomorrow. The Zhang family and the Xu family. Although our Beizhen Fushi Office is mainly responsible for the imperial prison, it also shoulders the responsibility of distinguishing theft and arresting the traitors and robbing. In the past few days, the brothers below will work harder and arrest these brave thieves as soon as possible."

Zhang Huan laughed: "Yes, sir!"

...

Han Dajie was hit by three blows, one of which was injured on the rib side, and almost broke his stomach. Fortunately, Xie Xiaowan sutured the wound on him in time that night, otherwise he would have died. After more than half a month of rest and treatment, Han Dajie's injury has improved, but he still needs to rest in bed.

At this time, Han Dajie drank the medicine brought by Chuchun and bowed weakly to Xie Xiaowan, "Mrs. Xie Xu's grace for saving his life, Han Dajie will never forget it, but Lu Bing is a cruel person. Now that Lord Xu is not in the capital, Mrs. Xu should be more careful."

Xie Xiaowan nodded: "Han Qianhu will be safe and well. As long as he is still in Xu's mansion, you will definitely be safe."

Xie Xiaowan and Han Dajie made a few simple polite words and took Chuchun out of the room, leaving only one servant here to take care of him.

Although Altan is attacking the capital fiercely, the area of ​​the capital is so large and there are many gates. It is impossible to block all gates with the troops under Altan alone. Therefore, the communication between the capital and the outside world has not been cut off. Regarding Han Dajie, Xie Xiaowan has written a letter to inform Xu Jin, and Xu Jin also sent someone to reply.

Since Lu Bing held thousands of royal guards in his hands and was also the emperor's childhood friend, he was deeply favored by the emperor. Xu Jin was worried that Xie Xiaowan could not handle it, and that Lu Bing would be anxious to jump over the wall. So in the letter, he specifically told Xiaowan not to alert the enemy for the time being and to deal with it after he returned to Beijing. Otherwise, using Xie Xiaowan's channels, there would be a complete way to inform Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houguan of the victory.

Let’s talk about Xie Xiaowan’s injury after visiting Han Dajie, and was about to return to the backyard, she saw the butler Dabao happily walking from the front yard with a cane, followed by two tall and strong men.

Xie Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, then was ecstatic, twisted her waist and ran over, shouting excitedly: "Dad, brother!!!"

It turned out that the two men following Dabao were the father-in-law Xie Qing and brother-in-law Xie Yidao.

Xie Qing is less than fifty years old this year, and it doesn't look much changed. His ancient body-colored skin is over two meters tall, like an iron tower, with bright eyes and bright eyes. He is also powerful. What a mighty man!

Xie Yidao was slightly shorter than his, but he was over 1.8 meters tall, with temples bulging on both sides. The weather in the capital was already very cold at this time. He was wearing short-sleeved protective covers, and his arms were bulging with biceps that were stunning.

Xie Qing is usually clumsy in words. When he saw his daughter running over, he nodded with a kind smile. The eldest brother Xie Yidao stepped forward a few steps and smiled happily: "Three sisters!"

Xie Xiaowan's eyes turned red: "Dad, brother, why are you here?"

In ancient times, there was no Internet or telephone, and the transmission of messages was severely lagging. When the news of Xu Jin being imprisoned and questioned reached Jiangxi, it was almost a month later. Xie Qing and Xie Yidao were worried and immediately set off for the capital. As a result, when they entered the territory of Northern Zhili, they heard that the capital was surrounded by Tartars, and Xu Jin was appointed as the governor of Zhili and the general of Pinglu, and is now stationed in Tianjin.
