"What a beautiful little lady!" Hou Mubai was stunned for a long time before he let out a heartfelt admiration from his throat. He didn't know that there was such a beauty in Qingjiang. Thinking about it, he became a little angry. He turned around and knocked Du Datong on the head and cursed.
"Fortunately, you often claim to know everything about Qingjiang Town. How come I didn't know there was such a wonderful person in this town? Or am I deliberately hiding this from me?"
Du Datong repeatedly cried out: "Young Master has wronged me. I am loyal to you and tell you everything I know. How can I dare to deceive you? As for this young lady, I don't think she is a person from this town. Otherwise, I and others will do it."
How could it be that I don't know why, but she and the two soldiers seem to be together."
Several other slaves nodded hurriedly, fearing that they would be beaten too late. Hou Mubai glared at them fiercely, then stepped forward and shook out the folding fan, pretending to be cool, and then said to Ling Ruo: "I don't know who this person is."
What’s your name, little lady, and where do you live?”
Shi Sheng secretly thought that it was not good. Although he was simple, he also knew what kind of appearance the woman he accidentally rescued had. Hou Mubai was so lustful that it was fine that he had not seen it before. Now that he had seen it, he would definitely be interested in her. If he wanted to rob her,
But what to do, the identities of them and this surnamed Hou are vastly different. If they want to stop him, it will be as simple as trying to block the car and overestimating their own capabilities.
Alas, if I had known this, I wouldn't have asked him for the money for the two watermelons. Let's just lose more. I have caused so many troubles for nothing, and I don't know how to end it.
Shi Sheng was in a state of confusion. The only thing he knew for sure was that he would never let this person take Ling Ruo away. He couldn't explain the reason, but he just decided that this was the case.
He walked up to Ling Ruo and whispered, "You and Xuan'er should leave quickly before the chaos breaks out. I will block them."
"It's okay." Ling Ruo gave him a reassuring look, and looked past Shi Sheng to meet Hou Mubai's eyes that couldn't hide the evil and lustful meaning, "The little girl's name change is only afraid of insulting Young Master Hou's ears.
, Let’s not talk about it, but the little girl is really impressed by Mr. Hou’s majesty today.” As soon as she walked, Hou Mubai found that there was something wrong with her feet, limping like a lame, but her face was enough to make up for all the regrets.
.
Her words made Hou Mubai raise his chin with a proud look on his face. Du Datong and other servants even flattered him: "That's natural. In terms of prestige, no one in Qingjiang Town can match our young master.
"
Ling Ruo nodded noncommittally and said with a half-smile, "I'm just curious as to when the Qing Dynasty's laws began to allow others to rob civilian girls on the street. I would like to ask Mr. Hou for advice."
"This..." Hou Mubai was speechless when she asked him. He laughed a few times and said, "I was just joking with them just now. How could I, my young master, be interested in a woman of that rank?"
Then he pretended to be serious and said: "However, as soon as I saw the young lady, I felt that I was in love with the young lady. I would like to invite the young lady to visit the palace to have a talk. Please don't refuse."
"Young Master Hou sincerely invites you. Logically speaking, the young lady should not refuse." Without waiting for Mu Bai to be happy, she changed the topic and said: "I'm afraid that if the young lady enters the Hou's mansion, it will be difficult for her to come out again, so Hou Hou
The young lady appreciates the young master's kindness."
Hou Mubai looked a little unhappy. This little lady talked a lot, but in the end she refused, which was really annoying. Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Since we are destined to meet, little lady, there is no need to be polite.
, Besides, I see that the young lady seems to have trouble with her feet, and I think she is injured and infected. I can ask the best doctor in Qingjiang Town to treat the young lady." Before Ling Ruo could refuse again, he had already shouted to Du Datong and other servants.
: "Come on, help the young lady back."
"Don't mess around, she won't go with you." Seeing that they were about to force themselves, Shi Sheng quickly pulled Ling Ruo behind him and stared at them warily.
Hou Mubai didn't talk nonsense with him. Ever since he was a child, he had never gotten anything he liked, let alone a mere woman.
"Go away!" As soon as Du Datong pushed Shi Sheng aside, his eyesight blurred, and then he was hit hard on the face, which made him dizzy and unable to find his way.
The person who beat him was none other than Ling Ruo. She clapped her hands indifferently and said, "Young Master Hou just said there was a misunderstanding, and now he is robbing someone like this on the street. Do you still think there is any law against the king?"
"
"Wang Fa Li?" Hou Mubai also became cruel and said with a ferocious smile: "To tell you the truth, in this Qingjiang Town, I am Wang Fa Li! You still have time to follow me obediently, otherwise you will be unable to survive.
I can’t wish for death.”
"Very good!" For some reason, in this situation, Ling Ruo actually laughed, then his expression calmed down, and he loudly said to the passers-by and people around him: "You all heard it, Mr. Hou said that he was here in Qingjiang
Zhen is the king's law and regulations. According to what he said, it is greater than the current emperor, because even the current emperor must follow the laws of the Qing Dynasty and act according to the king's law. Hou Mubai, I would like to ask you,
Whose power and authority are you relying on to be so arrogant and arrogant that you despise the emperor and want to rebel?" At this point, she stroked her cheek, which was slightly hot from the sun, and continued: "I heard
Recently, the rebels of the Heaven and Earth Society are ready to make a move. They appear frequently around the capital and are secretly connected with many wealthy households. The imperial court has been sending people to monitor closely. Is it possible that your Hou family is also related to the Heaven and Earth Society?"
The people who were watching had always been intimidated by the power of the Hou family. Although they did not dare to speak, they were all disgusted with everything the Hou family did and wished they would die. Now that they heard Ling Ruo's words, the expressions on their faces changed.
Subtle changes.
Hou Mubai stood there dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the young lady he liked was so smart and sharp. He had long been used to saying "He is the king's law" and used it to deal with those stupid people, just like eating and dressing.
, I didn’t expect that at this moment, I would be labeled as a rebel, and also be linked to the Tiandihui. Who are the Tiandihui? They are rebels! They clamored against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty all day long, supporting Prince Zhu San, and those group of people
When people have a relationship, they have to peel off their skin even if they are not dead. Hou Mubai broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about it, and then he felt that something was wrong. When did he have a relationship with the rebels? It was not even a copper.
No, what happened to this little lady was that she was telling the truth. He was so angry that he trembled, pointed at Ling Ruo and shouted: "You little smart man, don't talk nonsense here, my family is favored by the imperial court, let alone with the court."
Heaven and earth will be involved."
"Then you just said that you are Wang Lili?" Seeing Ling Ruo insisting on saying this, Hou Mubai had a bead of sweat on his forehead and argued forcefully: "I, I just said it casually.
, take it seriously."
"So, there is still a royal law in Qingjiang Town?" Under Ling Ruo's glare, Hou Mubai nodded reluctantly.
