Chapter 33 (7) Discussions on the back porch

Something happened in the house.The wind has been bad for several days, and one step is closer. Xiaohong had already told Brother Yun in detail: there are only the second master Bao and the second grandmother in the house who are the most noble, and they are also the most thorn in the eyes of some people. "Second Master Pianbao is your benefactor, my old master; Second Mistress is my new master, your benefactor. It's true that something bad happened in the house, so let's use the two of them as noses first Can't you and I just watch them suffer? We have to think of a way." Jia Yun said, "You mean it, why don't I feel that way? But things in the mansion are big, not small. Name, people like us, is there any way to save us?..."

Xiaohong pondered for a while. She suddenly said: Not long after I came, didn't I hear you say that Ni Er, the neighbor who gave you a lot of help, got involved in a lawsuit with others, was arrested and locked up, didn't it mean that he had friends and tried to save him? Yet?Thinking about him, is there a reason? One sentence reminded Jia Yun. "I'm going right now!" It turns out that although Ni Er, the Drunk King, is a rascal and settled down, it is precisely because the people he associates with are all low-level people in the market, with five elements and eight ways, good ways and underworld people, everyone has it. But he is an upright person, he can't see the things of being wronged, angry and suffering, and he always helps others with righteousness.What happened to him last time was because of the efforts of his allies and brothers, the guards and jailers in the government office, who bribed the higher-ups and settled the lawsuit.Jia Yun came to Ni Er's gate.

Ni Er warmly welcomed him into the room and sat down, and asked why Er Master Yun came so expensively.Jia Yun said what she wanted to do.Ni Er said that there have been rumors recently, and the neighbors should be concerned; "But the mansion is big and powerful, and the crimes committed will not be trivial. What can people like us help?" He was a little helpless. Can't fill the glory of being brave. Jia Yun then explained: "Second brother, you don't have to make troubles, things will depend on the momentum and then decide at will; the urgent task at the moment is to bother you to clear up your joints, there is a place for you to live in, take care of it, and save yourself from grievances and pains." , I am very grateful. Furthermore, if it is possible, take my husband and wife to have a look, to see each other, to feel more at ease, and it is not in vain to be a child's sincerity..."

Ni Er was moved, he held out his thumb, and said, "Second Master is really a good guy! I, Ni Er, will definitely give you an idea. Tomorrow at noon, listen to my letter." The next day, Ni Er really came to report that everything over there had been taken care of, and a good house had been changed, so there was no need to worry about expenses, everything was settled.Hurry up and pack up what you need to bring, and go to visit the prison early in the morning——"Go to my house, someone has taken it." Jia Yun and Xiaohong spent most of the night packing what they needed to bring.Did not fall asleep well in the second half of the night.

On the third day, after getting up in the morning, I washed and washed, said goodbye to my mother, and went to Ni'er's house together.I saw that the car in front of the door had been hired and was waiting there.When they saw the leader, they didn't chat too much. The three of them hurriedly got into the car, and the one with the whip waved the red-tasseled whip, and the animal ran down the street to the south. The horses and chariots are rustling, and the heart is shaking. The car is walking on the street, shaking people's hearts.Jia Yun didn't make a sound, just thinking over and over again what Ni Er had just revealed: Master Bao Er is still safe, he eats what he offers, and doesn't accept what he doesn't give; he responds to whatever he asks, neither refute nor argue; a little dizzy Dazed and flickering, sometimes clear, sometimes confused, as if suffering from a disease.The people in the prison cell saw that he was still a child, and he didn't look like a bad guy. He didn't even have the airs of a nobleman. Don't worry...

Xiaohong also kept her mouth shut.Her eyes were wet, and she thought that today she could only see Second Master Bao, Second Mistress had a serious case, and men and women were not kept together, so she didn't know whether she was allowed to see her or not. The car turned a corner and entered an alley.Xiaohong's heart beat even harder.
