After the eunuch sat down, Bai Yuanzeng quickly took the hot tea from the maid's hand and served it to him personally. Using his sideways shield, he quickly gave something to the eunuch, then bowed and stepped aside.
The father-in-law calmly squeezed the thickness of the stack of banknotes in his sleeve, raised his eyebrows slightly, and seemed to be somewhat satisfied. His expression softened and said: "Master Bai, you don't have to be so polite. The Za family is under the orders of His Majesty."
Come here to deliver the edict, the Chu family is under your jurisdiction, send someone to find her, the edict has arrived!"
Seeing him like this, Bai Yuanzeng felt a little relieved and quickly replied: "This Chu family is indeed from Chu Han. It's just that he is not in Chu Han now. It's unlucky for my father-in-law to come!"
The father-in-law frowned and asked, "If it's not Chu Han, where is it?"
Bai Yuanzeng said quickly: "I went to Lucheng more than half a month ago, and I didn't say when I would come back. Father-in-law, if you are not in a hurry, just stay in the government office for a few days, and I will send someone to find her back."
how?"
The eunuch frowned and said, "Lucheng is hundreds of miles away from here. If you have the time to look for it, you might as well go there in person. Anyway, when you return home, you have to pass through Lucheng!"
Bai Yuanzeng said quickly: "Yes, yes, it's just that my father-in-law has had a hard journey. Now that we have arrived in Chu Han, why should we taste Chu Han's specialties before leaving? Come on, hurry up and prepare a banquet!"
The eunuch immediately stood up and said: "Master Bai, you don't have to be polite. When you come out this time, the emperor has specially ordered that the Zajia family must issue the imperial edict to the Chu family as soon as possible. There really can't be any delay!"
Bai Yuanzeng immediately tried every means to persuade him to stay: "Father, you have come all the way and haven't even had a cup of tea. How can I let you leave like this? You..."
"Okay, okay, Sir Bai, this cup of tea is enough!" The father-in-law was afraid that Bai Yuan would bother him again, so he calmly patted the banknote in his sleeve and said with a smile.
Bai Yuanzeng understood immediately and said: "Then I will send you off respectfully, father-in-law. Please be careful on the road!"
The father-in-law nodded, held the imperial edict high in his hand, came out again with four guards, mounted his horse and drove away.
"What a risk!" Baiyuan Zeng waited for the eunuch to leave, then he sighed and quickly entered the inner hall, where he saw a man in black waiting.
"How?" the man in black asked.
"The father-in-law has been sent to Lucheng, but he won't meet Miss Chu on the way, right?" Bai Yuanzeng asked worriedly.
The man quickly said: "I will go and report to Lord Lei right away. Thank you very much, Lord Bai!"
"You're welcome!" Bai Yuanzeng quickly returned the gift and sent the man in black away.
At this time, in Yuncheng, a hundred miles away from Chu Han, because the weather was too hot, Chu Yiqing had no choice but to let the team stop to rest and wait until noon before setting off on the road.
"Miss, this place is very close to Mrs. Chen Hua's residence. Miss, would you like to go and have a look?" Yingqian couldn't help but ask.
"No!" Chu Yiqing waved his hand calmly, "Chen Hua's family is stable, and Spring Equinox and the others are supporting them. They also send people to Shangjia Village every month to report relevant matters, so I have nothing to worry about!"
Yingqian had no choice but to sigh, go out, see Lei Yuan, and slowly shake her head, "I have tried every means to delay the time, but the lady is very determined this time. You see, Chu Han will be here at the evening at the latest!"
Lei Yuan frowned. He didn't know whether Lord Bai succeeded in leading the person who issued the imperial decree to Lucheng. If the young lady really accepted the imperial decree...
After noon, the number of people on the street gradually increased. The small traders and vendors, who had escaped the intense heat at noon, also came out to set up stalls and start business again. Those selling rouge and gouache, wooden hairpins and silver bracelets, green vegetables and tofu, cloth and embroidery thread,
It has literally everything.
Regardless of admiring the prosperity of Yuncheng, Chu Yiqing personally carried Abao, who was still awake, out of the inn and carried him to the car. He asked Yingqian to fan him while letting Lei Yuan set off quickly.
"Yes, Miss!" Lei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and had no choice but to order the motorcade to set off. Unexpectedly, just as he turned the corner, Lei Yuan's sharp eyes saw the man in bluestone brocade robe not far ahead. The complicated patterns on the robe,
Lei Yuan knew the things in the palace, and immediately whispered, "Go from the other street, quickly!"
The carriage driver did not dare to be lazy and quickly changed the route and left Yuncheng through another street.
"Lei Yuan, what's the matter?" Chu Yiqing stuck his head out and asked.
Lei Yuan quickly replied: "Miss, that street is too busy and not suitable for convoys to pass. I took another street. Although it is farther away, at least it is not so crowded. This can also save some time!"
Chu Yiqing looked at the street and saw that it was indeed a lot deserted, so he nodded without thinking too much, put down the curtain, took the folding fan from Yingqian's hand, and fanned Abao himself.
"Okay, come back to Chu Han quickly!" Lei Yuan ordered in a low voice.
The coachman responded quickly, and the convoy sped away.
In the evening, when they finally entered the realm of Chu Han, Chu Yiqing directly ordered to go to Baifu first.
When the carriage got off at the gate of Baifu, the guard hurried in to report. After a while, Mrs. Bai personally greeted Chu Yiqing. As soon as she saw Chu Yiqing, she hurriedly stepped forward, held hands and said with a smile: "Oh, you are really a rare visitor, Miss Chu."
Why are you free today?"
Chu Yiqing took A Bao by the hand and said with a smile: "Mrs. Bai, you are so abrupt. You didn't even give me a greeting, so you came here in such a reckless manner..."
"Oh, Miss Chu, please don't say these words. Our friendship over the years has still adhered to these vulgar principles. Come on, come on, come in!" Mrs. Bai affectionately pulled Chu Yiqing into the second door.
Seeing that Chu Yiqing was tired from the journey, he first asked a girl named Wan Ping to take Chu Yiqing and his party across the courtyard to wash up and change clothes, while others prepared cakes, melons, fruits and other items here.
After briefly washing up and leaving Yingrun to take care of the two tired children taking a nap, Chu Yiqing took Yingqian to see Mrs. Bai.
At this time, in the flower hall, Mrs. Bai was taking her maid to visit the dessert and fruit plate. While giving instructions, she said: "This Miss Chu is a very clever person. You have never seen the food at Miss Chu's house. She is really particular about it. Let me show you later."
Show off your skills when serving snacks in the kitchen, and don’t make Miss Chu laugh!"
Chu Yiqing walked into the flower hall with a smile and said: "Look what you said, Madam, it's wrong for me to bother you rashly. How can I trouble Madam to be so fussy?"
Mrs. Bai turned around and grabbed Chu Yiqing's hand affectionately: "Don't say that, it's an honor for my house that you can come. Normally, I would like to invite you but I'm afraid I won't be able to invite you!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and asked Yingqian to bring the prepared gifts, which were honey and pearl powder. Last time Madam Bai asked her the secret of skin care, she just said a few words casually, but Madam Bai actually remembered it.
In her heart, it was just that honey was really hard to find, so when she came this time, Chu Yiqing took a small bottle of honey that she had brought with her for A Bao to drink, and prepared a small bag of the best pearl powder to teach Mrs. Bai how to make a facial mask.
.
When Mrs. Bai heard that Chu Yiqing had really brought her the secret recipe for whitening, she was so happy that she quickly dismissed the maid who was close to her and took Chu Yiqing and the two of them into the room, where she wanted to try it immediately.
Chu Yiqing knew that Mrs. Bai was a kind-hearted person, so he immediately refused and mixed it for her personally, applied it on her face, and said: "This mask only takes a quarter of an hour to apply on the face. Do it once every three or two days, guaranteed."
After a month or two, Madam’s face will look whiter and tenderer!”
Mrs. Bai pointed at the mask curiously with her fingers and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of Miss Chu's jokes. My face was accustomed to the wind when I was a child in the countryside. No matter how many skin care products I have used over the years, it is not enough. It is not the same as those with thin skin and tender flesh."
People in the city stand together, and you can tell at a glance. I envy you the most, girl, for your skin, which can be broken by any blow. This time, I got the girl’s secret beauty recipe. I am really lucky!"
When Chu Yiqing saw that she liked the gift, he finally didn't waste all his efforts, so he smiled and said: "You can't talk or laugh when you're doing the facial mask, otherwise it will leave wrinkles!"
Madam Bai quickly shut her mouth obediently.
At this time, Bai Yuanzeng came back from the government office. Hearing that Chu Yiqing and Mrs. Bai were in the hall, he didn't go in. He went to the study room to change into casual clothes and waited in the flower hall to give Chu Yiqing a gift.
Mrs. Bai washed off the mask on her face, rubbed her face with her little hands and said happily: "Oh, don't tell me, it is indeed smoother and smoother. Thank you so much Miss Chu this time!"
Chu Yiqing smiled faintly, and while chatting and laughing with her, he walked out of the inner hall, and heard Bai Yuanzeng say loudly: "Miss Chu is here, and you are not welcome from afar, so don't pick on me!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "I was rash and came without saying hello. Master Bai, please don't find fault with me!"
Mrs. Bai took Chu Yiqing's hand and smiled at Bai Yuanzeng: "Master, let's talk. I'll go to the kitchen and take a look!"
Bai Yuanzeng nodded and asked Chu Yiqing to sit down.
Chu Yiqing sat down and asked: "Master Bai, has the emperor's decree arrived?"
"Imperial edict? What imperial edict? There are no edicts coming to Chu Han these days!" Bai Yuanzeng said quickly.
"Really? Is it because I came back early?" Chu Yiqing couldn't help but frown. The emperor's edict was still on the way?
"Miss Chu, does your Majesty have any new orders?" Bai Yuanzeng asked tentatively.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Since I didn't come, forget it, Master Bai, I'm afraid I'm going to bother you all night!"
Bai Yuanzeng said quickly: "This is my honor!"
While talking and laughing, Bai Yuanzeng talked about Chu Han's governance again. He had not been in Chu Han for a long time, but he wanted to be a parent official.
The Qing method of farming can guarantee the yield, whether it is food crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, wheat, or vegetables such as cucumbers, peppers, and eggplants. However, this road is really difficult to follow. Chu Han was a place forgotten by the imperial court before.
There is only one official road for Chu Han. Even the official road is extremely difficult to walk when it rains and snows, let alone those man-made paths. So this time, Baiyuan Zeng wants to take Chu Han first.
The roads are being renovated.
"A few days ago, colleagues in the capital brought news that the emperor intended to repair the official roads in the north. Now Chu Han is not as good as before. If we can successfully allocate some funds back to repair Chu Han's roads, it will definitely have a certain influence on Chu Han's development in the future.
More beneficial!" Bai Yuanzeng couldn't help but said.
Chu Yiqing nodded: "Actually, I had this idea about road construction earlier, but because Chu Han has been running back and forth in Lucheng in the past two years, I really can't take care of it. But now that Master Bai is the parent official, I feel relieved.
How about this, if Master Bai can get some money from the court, I will also contribute some money, and we will work together to repair all the rivers and official roads in Chu Han!"
When Bai Yuanzeng heard this, he immediately stood up, clasped his fists and bowed in thanks: "I'm not wrong, Miss Chu is really a benevolent and righteous person. When one becomes rich, she will never forget the people of Chu Han!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "You don't need to put such a high hat on me. In fact, I am also doing it for my own business. If the rivers and roads can be built, in the future, whether it is by water or land, goods can be transported out.
Save a lot of time, time is money!”
Bai Yuanzeng had never heard of these words. He just knew that Chu Yiqing would pay for road construction, so he immediately said: "Anyway, I would like to thank Miss Chu on behalf of the people of Chu Han!"
Chu Yiqing smiled faintly and focused on talking about Chu Han's plan, forgetting those troublesome things for the time being.
Chu Yiqing and Bai Yuanzeng lost track of time until Mrs. Bai entered the flower hall with a smile and said: "You haven't finished talking yet, the children are hungry!" Behind her were several maids carrying trays.
A sumptuous dinner was placed on the table in the next cubicle like water. At this moment, Yingqian and Yingrun also came in with A Bao and Hua Lin.
"Ah Bao has grown a lot taller, oh, he is such a rare person, so fat and white!" As soon as Mrs. Bai saw Ah Bao, she immediately stepped forward and said, and asked someone to bring a piece of jade and put it into Ah Bao's hand.
It's a gift.
Chu Yiqing did not refuse. At this moment, a five or six-year-old child walked in. Mrs. Bai introduced him as their child, and Chu Yiqing also gave him a meeting gift.
As they sat down to eat, the topic that Chu Yiqing and Bai Yuanzheng were talking about was naturally about river repairs and road construction. Mrs. Bai did not interrupt, and together with the maids, took care of several children after the meal, and then asked the servants to take care of them.
Take the children down.
After finishing the meal, Chu Yiqing discussed with Bai Yuanzeng for a long time, suddenly remembered something and said: "Mr. Bai, do you know Mr. Wen?"
Bai Yuanzeng was startled, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "It seems that there are some impressions, but I can't remember clearly!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Mr. Wen is a man sent by the imperial court to supervise the construction of rivers. However, Chuhan is a place where prisoners are exiled. How could the imperial court be willing to pay for the construction of rivers? Therefore, although Mr. Wen is determined to serve the people, he still cannot
There is nothing I can do. His younger brother Wen Ren is also a good hand in engineering. I worked with him before when I was building a dam in Shangjia Village. Master Bai, why don't you talk to him? Maybe there will be new ideas!"
Bai Yuanzeng nodded quickly and said: "Since there is a recommendation from the girl, then Lord Wen is indeed right. I must meet this Lord!" He paused and then said: "In fact, speaking of this, it is not right now.
This is an opportunity. The emperor has canceled Chu Han as a place of exile, and the hometown of the Beijing official who came to inspect this time is here, so I feel that Chu Han still has hope of getting funding from the imperial court!"
Chu Yiqing nodded.
When they returned to the room, A Bao had already fallen asleep, but Chu Yiqing was still not sleepy at all. His originally quiet mood was stirred up again because of his conversation with Bai Yuanzheng.
"Miss, will you really spend money to build Chu Han's rivers and official roads?" Seeing that Chu Yiqing was not sleepy, Ying Qian simply took the needlework and said to Chu Yiqing while arranging the silk threads in her hands.
talk.
Chu Yiqing nodded, "Yes!"
Yingqian worriedly asked: "What if Master Baibai can't win the funding from the court?"
Chu Yiqing thought for a moment and smiled: "Then I can also build it, but I need to build the river channel first, and then I can build the official road after making more money later!"
Yingqian stopped the thread in her hand, hesitated for a long time, then raised her head and said hesitantly: "Miss, are you because... are you angry with me? Or are you angry with the emperor?"
Chu Yiqing sneered: "Yingqian, do you think I am such an irrational person?"
Yingqian lowered her head and stopped talking.
"I'm not angry with anyone. I've been treated unfairly since I was a child. I don't have parents who love me, or any relatives. Since I was ten years old, in order to have a full meal, I have to
I have to fight on my own. I have learned to be indifferent and to be myself, so what I have to face now is nothing!" Chu Yiqing said calmly, she was telling the truth. Now, from the beginning, in order to fill her stomach,
Now that he wants to find his own dignity, Chu Yiqing has slowly grown and matured in Lihuang under the pressure of the world.
Yingqian was stunned. Could it be that the young lady was confused and talking nonsense? When she was about to ask more questions, she was rushed back to the room to sleep by Chu Yiqing.
It was late at night, and Chu Yiqing was still looking at the river map sent by Baiyuan Zeng. She roughly estimated that it would cost about five hundred thousand taels of silver to repair the entire Chu Han river. For her, it was indeed a big deal.
investment.
That night, Chu Yiqing went to bed very late.
The next morning, Chu Yiqing was awakened by the laughter of Abao and Baicheng. Yingqian had already been standing by the bed waiting to serve him.
"Why don't you wake me up?" Chu Yiqing stretched his tired shoulders.
"It's still early. Master Abao got up early today, probably because he met a new partner!" Yingqian first brought a cup of chrysanthemum tea to Chu Yiqing, "Miss, this is brewed with mountain spring water.
Tea, please drink some, you seem very tired!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and nodded, drank tea, and got up to wash up.
"Miss, it's not good!" Suddenly, Lei Yuan strode over and stood three meters outside the door and whispered.
Yingqian glanced at Chu Yiqing, followed her instructions and went out to ask, then hurriedly entered the door and said: "Miss, there was an accident on the merchant ship, seven people died, even Shi Fifteen was covered with bruises and only had half a life left.
At this moment, all the ships and people have been seized by pirates, including Master Diao, and now Wuming Town is in turmoil!"
Before Yingqian finished speaking, she heard the sound of cups falling to the ground outside the door. Chu Yiqing said angrily: "Yingqian, you go and take a look at Yingrun first. I'm going to say goodbye to Master Bai and Mrs. Bai!"
Yingqian also had a look of annoyance on her face. She hurried out of the room and scolded Yingrun: "What's wrong with you? The older you get, the less sensible you become. Aren't you deliberately causing trouble for the lady?"
When Yingrun got the news that Shishi was beaten, her heart was in confusion. When she saw Chu Yiqing angry and scolded by Yingqian, her tears fell down.
Chu Yiqing quickly changed his clothes, tidied his hair, and hurriedly went out to find the front hall.
Yingqian didn't bother to blame Yingrun and just said in a cold voice: "Hurry up and pack up. The lady is leaving, so ask someone to pack up your things quickly!"
Yingrun did not dare to neglect this time, so she quickly cheered up, quickly packed the broken cups on the tray, and then quickly entered the house, taking a few maids and women to pack their things and prepare to leave.
In the front hall, Mrs. Bai had just gotten up and was about to go to the kitchen to see how the meal was being prepared. When she heard that Chu Yiqing was leaving, she quickly sent Wan Ping to ask for Bai Yuan to come up. She couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
So urgent? But what happened?"
"There was an accident on a merchant ship, so I'm anxious to go back!" Chu Yiqing was talking to her, and Bai Yuanzeng also came to the front hall. When Chu Yiqing said that there was an accident on a merchant ship, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Although I came to Chuhan not long ago, I heard from the officials below that the leader of the Haiying Gorge pirates is called Dao Scar, and he is a powerful figure. More than ten years ago, they occupied the Haiying Gorge important channel, and all passing merchant ships
All were robbed and no one was spared. Later, fewer and fewer merchant ships went from Li State to Luo State. The pirates had no source of income, so they had to negotiate terms with the governor at that time, requiring passing merchant ships to pay a certain protection fee because of their asking price.
It was too high, and if the court agreed to their conditions, there would be suspicions of collusion between officials and thieves. At that time, Mr. Fu Yin did not agree, but later I heard that the person who had just taken over the power of the Lan family was only twelve-year-old Lan.
As soon as they agreed to the pirates' conditions, the Lan family became the only merchant ship that could guarantee safety from Li State to Luo State. Later, the Lan family also had business in Luo State. Gradually, all the sea routes between Luo State and Luo State were established.
Almost all the goods coming and going must pass through the Lan Mansion, and Scar rarely appears on the sea, and occasionally robs ships that do not belong to the Lan Mansion!" Bai Yuanzeng said in a deep voice, "It seems that Scar is back this time.
Jianghu must be closely related to Lan Mansion!"
Thinking of what Lan Yi said when the merchant ship went out to sea, Chu Yiqing also believed that Lan Yi was behind this incident. However, she had taken every precaution, from the weapons on the merchant ship to the manpower.
How could it be possible that with Diao San, a **** lake, the whole army was wiped out but was restrained by Scar, and no one escaped?
"Miss Chu, I will go to Wuming Town with you!" Bai Yuanzeng whispered a few instructions to Madam Bai and said quickly.
Chu Yiqing nodded, not caring about being polite at this time, and let Abao eat something and drink some soup, and then quickly left Chu Hancheng with the others.
Two days ago, Wuming Town had just had a summer rain, so the weather was not so hot. Those rushing businessmen went out early in the morning to prepare for business. On the dock, Shopkeeper Li stood up from the tent.
After stretching, he looked up and saw a small boat floating on the sea. He was stunned and quickly called people to see it. Those people threw out a long anchor, waited until the boat was close, and suddenly hooked the bow of the boat.
They pulled the boat closer, but when they saw the situation of putting on the clothes, those people were so frightened that they immediately screamed and squatted on the ground.
"Shopkeeper, dead people, a boatload of dead people!" Someone boldly came to his senses and hurried to the dock to report to Shopkeeper Li.
"What?" Shopkeeper Li was stunned for a moment, but he quickly thought of something and hurriedly took people to check. When he saw it, he was too frightened to speak by the tragic situation in front of him.
It was a small boat, with seven or eight dead bodies lying on it, some dressed as boatmen and some as soldiers. Because of the hot weather, the corpses were already giving off a foul odor.
"Oh, this is not a mute. The one who followed Boss Mu to seek refuge with Miss Chu a while ago... Shopkeeper Li is a boatman from the Chu Mansion!" Someone among them recognized him as the man who worked together before and shouted loudly.
"Why are you panicking!" Shopkeeper Li suppressed the nausea in his heart and shouted loudly: "Go and report to the official!"
Someone went quickly.
"Go and see if there are any survivors?" Shopkeeper Li ordered.
Someone boldly stepped forward to check and shouted: "Shopkeeper, there is still one alive!"
Shopkeeper Li nodded and shouted: "Drag him out and take him to the tent. Remember, don't let him die!"
Two boatmen ran out, quickly pulled the man out of the pile of dead bodies, and carefully carried him to the tent on the dock.
Shopkeeper Li whispered to his cronies, and the cronies hurried to the town, shouting loudly along the way: "There was an accident on Chu's ship. Many people died. Go and have a look!"
This shouting woke up many people who were still sleeping in. Some people didn't understand the situation. They kicked off their shoes and came out with their clothes on and cursed fiercely: "It's so early in the morning. Are you dead?"
"Go and have a look. Something happened to Chu Mansion's merchant ship. A boatload of dead bodies floated on the sea. It's such a miserable situation!" The man shouted all the way as he headed towards Lan Mansion.
Those who had just woken up were stunned and all rushed to the dock.
Hundreds of people had gathered on the dock at this moment. Many of them had heard that the dead people came to see the fun, but most of them were relatives of the boatmen. They saw the seven or eight bodies that were carried to the shore being rotted by the sun.
Some people recognized the corpses of their relatives and cried loudly when they threw themselves on them. Those who had not seen their relatives felt that their relatives were in danger and could not help but burst into tears.
"Why are you crying? Now we have to go find the people from the Chu Mansion and give us an explanation!" Someone shouted.
"I heard that someone came back alive, who is it?" someone also asked.
Shopkeeper Li stood on the rocks and waved his hands and said: "Everyone, those who are alive are from the Chu Mansion, and they have been claimed by the Chu Mansion now!"
As soon as Shopkeeper Li finished speaking, someone shouted from the other side: "Someone from Chu Mansion is here!"
Not far away, Mai Xiang and Ying Tao got off the carriage, Shi Da, Ashu, Da Sen and others hurriedly guarded them from left to right. Yu Lian and Xiu Niang followed behind, followed by several servants, who walked over in a hurry.
Although she got the news, Mai Xiang still couldn't believe it, until she saw the dead boatmen, her face couldn't help but turn pale, and she held onto Cherry's hand tightly.
"Where is Chu Yiqing? Why did you let a little girl out?" Those angry people saw that the visitor from the Chu Mansion was only an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, and they immediately felt that the Chu Mansion did not want to come forward, especially
Those few families who saw the corpses of their relatives stepped forward and wanted to push Mai Xiang away. Fortunately, they were stopped by Shi Da and Ashu.
"You are using your power to bully others. Everyone is dead. You..." People's emotions became more and more intense, and people kept rushing up to them. The servants of the Chu Mansion also came forward. As a result, a conflict broke out between the two sides.
"Everyone, calm down!" Mai Xiang shouted loudly, but at this time, the angry people could not hear her shouting. Seven or eight strong men were already fighting with the servants.
Mai Xiang's eyes widened in anger, and she suddenly took off the soft whip from her waist, and slapped it on the face of the person who wanted to attack her. The man's shoulder was ripped open by the whip, and she couldn't help it.
He screamed loudly and became even more excited.
Mai Xiang swung it hard into the air twice more, shocking those people who didn't dare to come forward. Then he took the whip in his hand and shouted coldly: "If you want to reason, let's talk slowly."
, if you want to have sex, be careful with the whip in my hand!"
Those people were immediately shouted at by Mai Xiang's momentum, and they were all stunned. At this moment, an old woman cried, "It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable! This person is still bullying us orphans and widows after he died.
Mother, my son, my son!"
"This person is dead and you still beat him. Report it to the official. Let's report it to the official!" someone shouted.
Mai Xiang said coldly: "If such a big thing happens, if you don't report it to the official, our Chu Mansion will also report it to the official!"
Just as he was talking, Liu Cheng, Liang Yi and others hurried over. When they saw the seven corpses on the boat, their expressions also changed.
"What's going on?" Liu Cheng asked, and shopkeeper Li quickly stepped forward and said, "Sir, I'm afraid the merchant ship encountered pirates. This happened once more than ten years ago, and Scar is a very dangerous person.
, kill without blinking an eye, I remember one time, he killed all the people in the merchant ship!"
As soon as Shopkeeper Li finished speaking, those who still had hope without seeing the body screamed, and a few women even fainted.
Liang Yi quickly stepped forward and scolded: "Shopkeeper Li, do you think the current situation is not chaotic enough? Didn't you say there is a living person?"
Shopkeeper Li quickly responded: "Yes, yes, Mr. Liu, Capt. Liang, that person is inside!"
Liu Cheng quickly took Liang Yi into the tent.
Mai Xiang said coldly: "Uncle Shi, stay here and watch!" After saying that, he also took Ying Ying in.
In the tent, Fifteen slowly woke up after being fed a bowl of water. As soon as he saw Mai Xiang, he immediately grabbed Mai Xiang's hand and said, "Miss... Where's the lady?"
Mai Xiang quickly said: "Brother Fifteen, my aunt went to Lucheng and didn't come back. Tell me, what happened?"
Fifteen stared straight at Mai Xiang and said: "We encountered pirates. Thirteen merchant ships were all hijacked by pirates!"
