Enter the Room

When Jin Yiwei's men rushed into Liangyu Kiln Factory, Song Tao was so frightened that her body went limp and she couldn't even lift her hands.

If Song Ren hadn't given her a hand, she would have been kicked to the ground by Jin Yiwei's men.

Even so, when the Jin Yiwei who led the team knew that she was the director of the kiln factory, he waved his hand and she was taken to the county government cell and locked up.

She grabbed the arm-thick wooden railing of the cell and begged: "Master, are you mistaken? I am just a person hired by the Hong family kiln factory to be responsible for firing porcelain. Regardless of the kiln factory, the Hong family's I don’t know anything about it, so why are you locking me in here?”

The guard in charge of the cell is a man with scars on his face. Hearing this, he sneered and said: "It's you who are at stake - the Hong family participated in the smuggling of porcelain from Prince Ning's Mansion. Aren't you the manager of the kiln? You don't know what happened, who knows?!"

"How could the kiln be involved in the smuggling of porcelain from Prince Ning's Mansion? Our kiln has only been open for less than half a year, and we only make sacrificial porcelain. It is sold wherever it is sold. If you don't believe it, you can ask people in Jingdezhen. Everyone It can all be proved." Song Tao was determined to get a chance for herself to explain clearly, but the scarred-faced Jinyiwei didn't even look at him. He gave a few instructions to the county jailer, turned around and left.

Only then did she realize that the cells next door contained Mrs. Hong and brothers Hong Xi and Hong Zhao.

"Old Master!" she shouted for help, tears welling up in her eyes.

Although they were imprisoned, the Hong family members were still neatly dressed. Mr. Hong was sitting cross-legged on the haystack of the cell with his eyes closed, his demeanor was solemn, no different from usual. Hong Xi crossed his arms and leaned against the wall opposite Mr. Hong, looking at the small ventilation window of the cell with a calm expression on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking. However, Hong Zhao, who is known as the Hong family's academic seed and future hope, is walking around the cell impatiently, muttering something unknown, whether because he is too young or has an unstable temperament. He looked worried and scared.

Hearing this, Mrs. Hong didn't even raise her eyelids, and Hong Xi ignored her. Only Hong Zhao came over. He not only came over, but also asked her eagerly: "What is going on in the kiln factory? Prince Ning's smuggling is not a matter of a day or two. You just said that our kiln factory has just opened." Half a year later, all the account transactions were clear and there were no falsifications. Is this true?"

Song Tao nodded repeatedly.

Hong Zhao usually studied in Suzhou and didn't know anything about his family's affairs.

She hoped that Hong Zhao could help them clear their names.

In the previous life, nothing happened to the Hong family. Hong Zhao was still studying in Suzhou at this time. When the college examination came next June, he passed the exam and passed the exam. Mr. Hong was so happy that he set up a flowing water mat for seven days. In September, he won the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination. With the help of his mentor, he married the eldest daughter of the prefect of Huzhou and went to the Imperial College to study.

It is said that the reason why he had such an encounter was related to his mentor who went to teach at Heshan Academy after becoming an official in Dali Temple.

In a life-or-death situation, he would definitely turn to his mentor.

Song Tao told him about the kiln in detail.

Just as she stood up, she was interrupted by Mrs. Hong: "A Zhao, come here. Grandpa has something to tell you."

Song Tao raised her eyes.

Mr. Hong didn't know when he opened his eyes and was looking at them sideways.

Song Tao's heart skipped a beat.

Hong Zhao had obediently knelt down in front of Mr. Hong, and the grandfather and grandson began to whisper.

Song Tao was very anxious and wanted to hear clearly what Mr. Hong had said to Hong Zhao.

When disaster strikes, even couples will fly apart. What's more, she and the Hong family were just a temporary business partner to get what they needed. The Hong family may not give her a hand. But if the Hong family doesn't care about her and she has already fallen out with her family, who else will care about her?

She couldn't stop trembling and shouted: "Master Hong!"

Hong Xi seemed to have just seen her at this moment, and his eyes fell on her casually.

"Master Hong!" She couldn't help but tremble.

In the previous life, after Hong Zhao was admitted to the Juren Examination, the Hong family became squires in Liang County who could keep pace with the Wen family. Mr. Hong has been accompanying Hong Zhao to study, while Hong Xi has been staying in Liang County to take care of the Hong family's general affairs.

He is handsome and rich, and represents the Hong family at various ceremonies in Liang County. Countless women regard him as their golden son-in-law and are thinking of ways to marry him. However, he liked Song Jiyun, and not only helped Song Jiyun with money and effort to deal with Song Sanliang, but also funded and built another kiln with Song Jiyun, specializing in firing all kinds of monochromatic porcelain, and expanded the business to the capital.

Song Jiyun didn't marry, so he kept waiting for Song Jiyun. It’s useless for Mr. Hong to object.

She thought that even if he was not a compassionate person, he was at least sentimental, but something unexpected happened again - he looked at her with cold and heartless eyes, as if he were looking at a dead object.

But she must save herself.

She cannot be left behind by the Hong family.

Even if Mr. Hong was not very willing to take her, she had to find a way to get Hong Xi to take her.

"I have something to tell you." Song Tao gritted her teeth, staring straight into his eyes like Song Jiuyun in her previous life, and said coldly.

A trace of surprise flashed in Hong Xi's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he actually walked towards her.

Song Tao was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

As expected, Hong Xi still likes women like Song Jiuyun.

She raised her eyebrows and stood up straight, imagining herself like a green pine on a cliff, calm in the face of danger, but she didn't know that her trembling hands betrayed her uneasiness.

"We have to find a way out." She whispered, "The only one who can save us is Eunuch Wan."

She knew Eunuch Wan’s backstage in the palace and also knew Eunuch Wan’s secret.

Hong Xi glanced at her suspiciously, twitched the corner of his mouth, his attitude was frivolous and a bit sarcastic, and said: "Miss Song San, have you never been out of Jingdezhen? Jinyiwei is doing things, do you think Wan Xiaoquan is a eunuch?" Can it be stopped?"

Song Tao had never seen such a sarcastic Hong Xi.

She was stunned.

Hong Xi looked at her with disdain and said, "You don't think that Wan Xiaoquan will make money for you if you give Wan Xiaoquan a few taels of silver, right? Instead of counting on him, you might as well think about how much money you still have in your hand. How will we deal with Jin Yiwei’s people later!”

Of course Song Tao also thought about it. But she knew that it would be good for her, a woman's family, to show her wealth and not be treated as a scapegoat by those Jin Yiwei. It would be absolutely impossible to escape.

"I'm not joking with you." Song Tao tried his best to look at Hong Xi with a cold expression and said, "When Wan Eunuch was in the palace, he had a counter-eunuch. After he came out of the palace, his counter-eunuch was with another eunuch. , that eunuch is now guarding Nanjing."

Hong Xi couldn't hide his surprise, and his eyes gradually became serious as he looked at Song Tao.

Song Tao laughed.

That's how it should be.

In the previous life, he was Song Jiyun, and in this life, he is her.

Hong Xi should be used by her.

"I know how to impress Eunuch Wan." She lowered her voice, "But I don't have the manpower. If you are willing to advance and retreat with me, I am willing to tell you the method."

After hearing this, Hong Xi didn't say anything for a long time, then suddenly sneered and said: "You can trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I will sell you out?"

Song Tao imitated Song Jiyun, who was already in power in his previous life, and gently straightened his sleeves, saying calmly: "Since I have a way to ask you for help, I will naturally have a way for you to take me away."

In fact, she was at a loss.

But if she hadn't been so bluffing, Hong Xi would definitely not have cared about her life or death.
