At this time, Zhu Zhanji was worried about how to deal with the Jiaozhi problem. When he saw Dai Lun's memorial, he became even more angry, so he charged him with resisting the imperial decree and having him arrested.
, and interrogated in person.
Dai Lun naturally resisted without giving up. Zhu Zhanji was furious and ordered him to be beaten to death with sticks, his house confiscated and exiled.
Dai Xiwen, the former minister of Taipu Temple, and Dai Xian, the prefect of Henan, were both implicated.
This Li San is Dai Xiwen’s housekeeper.
At that time, Dai Xiwen's son was only six years old, named Dai Cheng.
Due to the provisions of the Ming Dynasty Law, children under six years old and elderly people over sixty years old can be spared from death when it comes to the crime of confiscating their homes and destroying their ancestors.
Therefore, Dai Cheng escaped, but was taken to the palace, castrated as a eunuch, and given the name Huaien.
A six-year-old child cannot remember many things, and after entering the palace, he must undergo rigorous training.
There are many rules in the palace, and these prisoners are even more strictly controlled.
The fact that Wynn can stand out from these young eunuchs shows that he is not only smart and sensible, but also has long forgotten all the grudges.
Otherwise, which emperor would dare to have someone who is always thinking about revenge against him waiting by his side?
For more than twenty years, Wynn has almost forgotten all about his life experience. However, those things buried deep in his heart surged out today.
Dai Xiwen was the son of an old man, so he doted on his precious son in every possible way. As the steward of Dai Mansion, Li San was even more obedient to the young master. Therefore, although Hua En had forgotten the past, when he saw Li San
I still feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Because he didn't really forget, he just forcibly sealed his childhood memories deep in his heart.
Li San had tears in his eyes and said: "It has been more than twenty years, young master, and I, Li San, never thought that I would see you again in this life..."
Wynn did not answer. At this time, he needed to be rational.
"You just said...that you met my, my...mother?"
"Yeah!"
Li San nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said: "Back then, my wife and the other women in the family were sent to the Jiaofang Department because she was old and frail and worked there to wash and cook.
Doing some menial work, later, later..."
Having said this, he suddenly hesitated.
"What happened next?"
Wynn felt that his voice was trembling. He couldn't believe that he could see his mother again in this life.
"Later, I helped my wife escape. We didn't dare to go back to Shandong, so we came to Nanjing along the Grand Canal. We found a farmer on Zhongshan Mountain and gave them some money. We have lived here since then."<
/p>
"No, no!"
Huaien shook his head violently and said: "The Jiaofang Division is heavily guarded, and you don't know martial arts, let alone my mother, how did you escape?"
"Also, why do you want to come to Zhongshan?"
"Don't you know that the Xiaoling Guards are guarding Zhongshan? Since you escaped, why don't you go to a remote place or go to the sea and endanger yourself?"
His series of questions directly stunned Li San.
"Alas!"
Li San thought for a long time, then let out a long sigh and said, "Master, you have really grown up!"
Wynn didn't speak, just looked at him coldly.
Li San gave a wry smile and continued: "I originally thought that if you knew that Madam was still alive, you wouldn't care about these details. I forgot that you are now the Clerk of Ceremony and the most powerful eunuch around the emperor. It's me.
Neglected..."
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Master, you'd better stop asking!"
The expression on Li San's face gradually became indifferent, and his tone began to become cold.
Wynn continued to ask: "What happened to my mother?"
"Don't worry, Madam has been living in seclusion in Zhongshan since she was rescued by her benefactor. Now I will take you to see Madam."
"What did you say? My mother was...saved by who?"
Huai En was horrified, because the Dai family committed the crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the family. They dared to go to Jiaofangsi to rob people. They were clearly rebels who were against the imperial court!
He is very confused now. The Li San in front of him, including his mother, may be colluding with the rebels.
But...that's my mother!
What to do, what to do...
Li San no longer answered, but said: "Bo Yuntian is just and righteous, we will not betray our benefactor. I will take you to see the madam now. As for how to choose the future path, the young master can make his own decision!" After hearing this, Huai En felt mixed emotions in his heart and followed closely.
The two walked one behind the other through the mountains and forests, and saw a courtyard in a hidden mountain col.
It was already approaching dusk, and with the afterglow of the setting sun, Wynn looked up and saw that the courtyard was built against the mountain, almost blending in with the surrounding scenery, giving it a unique charm.
If you don't have someone to guide you, you won't be able to find a place like this.
However, when he approached the gate, he suddenly stopped.
Li San looked back and said, "Master, please, my wife is inside!"
Wynn's feet seemed to be filled with lead. After more than 20 years, he had almost forgotten what his mother looked like...
At this moment, he suddenly became hesitant.
Is she really my mother?
Finally, he plucked up the courage and followed Li San through the courtyard to the front hall.
Li San opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.
Wynn took a deep breath and walked in.
Immediately afterwards, there was a buzzing sound, a burst of pain in the back of the head, and then nothing happened.
Li San looked at Wynn on the ground, his face had changed.
He sneered and said, "Are you in such a hurry to see that damn bitch of yours? Once the Dog Emperor is dealt with, I'll let you go underground to reunite with her!"
"Third Master, what should we do next?"
Two men with sticks stood behind the door, it was Wynn they attacked just now.
"This person is very important. He can't die just yet. Let's lock him up with that dog emperor first!"
"Yes!"
"Also, how is the bait sent out?"
"Brother is really wise. Those Jin Yiwei saw the clues left by our people and circled all over the mountains and fields. They probably won't be able to get down tonight."
"Very good!" Li San asked again, "Is the boat ready?"
"You can leave the port tomorrow night, and the sea support is ready!"
Li San nodded and said: "It's not advisable to stay here for a long time, go to the cave first!"
The two agreed, raised Wynn, and approached a secret passage one after another.
There are many caves in Zhongshan. These caves may not seem big, but they are actually well-connected in the mountain and stretch for hundreds of miles. If you don’t know the structure inside, it will be difficult to get out after entering.
Li San cautiously stuck his head out to take a look, then closed the door and rearranged the mechanism of the secret passage.
If you don't know, even if you can find this place, you will only see an empty house.
