While they were crying, Xia Zhaoyi remained silent and listened quietly.
If she didn't speak, others wouldn't speak either.
The girls usually lacked opportunities to speak. Now that someone was standing up for them and seemed willing to listen, they chatted like beans. They even talked about the tragic experiences of Huazhou when it was not in chaos, and seemed to want to talk all at once.
"Wait a minute." Xia Zhaoyi suddenly said.
Several girls stopped.
"What Drunken Deer?" Xia Zhaoyi looked at the girl who just finished speaking, "What eight girls?"
"It was half a year ago that a rich young man with troops and horses asked eight of us to go to Zuilu to find him. We went through all kinds of hardships, and his men placed us in a big village. After a month
Later, his father personally led a group of people and beat us up and drove us out."
"Young Master Zui Lu? What's your last name?"
"The ninth young master of the Ji family." Another girl said.
Xia Zhaoyi was stunned: "Ji Xiahe?"
"Girl, do you know me?" Jiang Junping, the leader, said hurriedly, "Girl, do you know Ji Jiulang?"
"Do I want you to speak?" Xia Xingming called.
Jiang Junping lowered his head back.
"It sounds familiar," Yang Fugui said to others in a low voice from behind, "Who is Ji Xiahe?"
"The Zhiye we met in Shoushi," Su Yumei replied softly, "Ji Jiajiulang Zuilu, Ji Xiahe."
"What a coincidence," Yang Fugui said, "Shou Shi just met him. When he came to this chaotic Huazhou, he actually met someone related to him."
Several girls began to recall and recount in detail the scenes they met with Shen Lie Ji Xiahe in Huazhou half a year ago.
Inevitably, one must mention the fact that they blocked the road without any clothes on.
"So you are a habitual offender," Xia Zhaoyi said, "These gentlemen often ask you to do this?"
Several girls were shocked and hurriedly tried to kneel down, but Xia Xingming stopped them.
"No, girl, we are going there ourselves!"
"Yes, we want to live a good life!"
"When we looked at Ji Jiulang and Mr. Shen, they looked like they were no ordinary people. We thought that if we could catch up with them, we would be rich and prosperous!"
…
"Miss Ah Li," Su Yumei said at this time, "can I say a few words."
"Okay." Xia Zhaoyi nodded.
"Sister." Su Heng frowned, not liking her going out on such an occasion.
Su Yumei walked forward and looked at the girls calmly: "These gentlemen dress better than you and eat better than you. Look at you, you are so skinny and sallow, why are you still here feeling sorry for them?"
"This has nothing to do with them."
"It's our own choice."
"Miss Ah Li," Su Yumei looked at Xia Zhaoyi, "I have three suggestions."
Xia Zhaoyi's stern eyebrows softened a bit when she came out, and he said gently: "You say it."
"I saw that although these gentlemen were thin, they were of average height and could still be used. Our army lacked some hard laborers and they had no food to eat. So I came here to wash clothes, fetch water, and wash dishes to give them a way to survive.
,what do you think?"
Xia Zhaoyi raised her eyebrows lightly: "Take them with you?"
"Well, Bento is a hireling. Why don't you go out and trouble Zhang Ji to take charge of them, and Zhang Ji to take charge of them personally? What do you think?"
"Sister!" Su Heng shouted in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
Su Yumei ignored him and looked at Xia Zhaoyi.
Xia Zhaoyi suddenly smiled and understood Su Yumei's intention almost instantly.
"Okay," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Zhang Ji will be in charge."
"Second, send a team of soldiers and horses to send all the girls to Yi Xing. Yi Xing is short of people and they are capable. They will definitely do great things there."
"good."
"Third, if it is true as these girls said, all of them once worked in Ji Jiulang's village, the remaining refugees should go beg for wages, and help others may as well help to the end. I am willing to ask for help, and lead it with my brother
They went together and filed a lawsuit with the local government."
Su Heng was stunned from behind: "Sister?"
"The local government," Xia Zhaoyi's elegant brows furrowed, "those official officials are like decorations. Now they all rely on the Guo family to govern. The Guo family and the Ji family are so good, this is difficult."
"So I have to go and make a fuss, and Miss Ah Li will be sure."
"It's not a question of whether I'm accurate or not. I have no right to disagree," Xia Zhaoyi said, "but if you are willing to give it a try, then go and try it. Just remember to be careful."
Su Yumei smiled: "Yeah."
Xia Zhaoyi looked at Zhang Ji: "Zhang Ji."
"Second Miss." Zhang Ji, who was standing beside the crowd, immediately stepped forward and said with cupped fists.
"Today, our Xia family army will set up a hard labor camp. You are given half an hour to pick out all the 'masters' among these refugees, as well as the core of the main force, and return them to the hard labor camp."
"yes."
Many refugees opened their eyes wide and looked at the leader, "Master" Jiang Junping.
Jiang Junping was also dumbfounded and trembling all over.
But what happened to Uncle Li, he didn't dare to stand up and say no at the moment.
These people are ruthless, how dare he...
Xia Zhaoyi looked at Xia Xingming and Jian Jun again, asking them to coordinate manpower and select twenty first-class soldiers to mix among the refugees to protect the Su family brothers and sisters.
The thick ropes on the hands of the refugees were untied. The people who felt as if they were doomed half an hour ago were now watching the "masters" being taken away by the soldiers in a dream.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
When he returned to the carriage, Su Heng was very angry. He rarely lost his temper with his sister and remained silent.
But my sister, who has a delicate mind and is good at observing people's emotions, didn't say a word about his terrible face and mood.
Su Heng, who couldn't bear it anymore, stopped packing the books in his hands and turned around: "What's the use of this limelight!?"
Su Yumei, who was also packing her things, frowned and said calmly: "Do you think you are trying to show off?"
"Isn't it true? Miss Ali has her own judgment. She ordered those refugees to be arrested. How could she have no idea in her mind and ask you to come forward?"
Su Yumei sneered and said in disappointment: "In your opinion, it's actually a show of force."
"You also offered to go to Zuilu," Su Heng shook his head, "I can't understand. I always thought you were calm, well-behaved and down-to-earth, but you actually..."
"Behave is not a good word." The girl's crisp voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Su Heng's words.
Su Heng was startled and quickly looked to the right.
Xia Zhaoyi was dressed in a Tsing Yi with a waistband. She was slim and slim in the night. She walked with light steps, followed by Li Man and Zhan Ning.
"Miss Ah Li." Su Yumei smiled.
"Go and talk." Xia Zhaoyi said to her.
"Um."
Su Heng looked at Xia Zhaoyi closely. The girl left with Su Yumei without even looking at him.
Su Heng thought for a moment and followed.
"Girl, why are you following us when we are talking?" Xia Zhaoyi looked back at him.
The bright gaze that glanced at Qinglan made Su Heng's heart shudder. He didn't dare to look at it any longer. He lowered his head in embarrassment and put down the things in his hands uncomfortably.
