Cui Hao's joy was beyond words, as if he had received a lot of benefits. He looked at Xu Qinghuan with his eyes: "Miss, can you help me with this? I will write down the age at which I was abducted and the place where I was sold. Miss, just help me ask
Ask the Wu family."
Xu Qinghuan said: "Then have you also found Lin Sanniang?"
Cui Hao looked at Xu Qinghuan in surprise: "The eldest lady really knows that I came to Jiangyin really for Lin Sanniang.
This spring, when I was asking around for information, a Mrs. Lin came over. Mrs. Lin said that she knew the inside story about my life experience. If I could come to Jiangyin to find her, she would definitely tell the truth. But it is inconvenient for me in the army, okay?
It was easy to get the opportunity to come..."
At this point, Cui Hao sighed: "I don't know if it's because I'm unlucky, but Lin Sanniang's family was also killed. I either couldn't find the news along the way, or when I found the news, something went wrong. But
Fortunately, we tracked down Aunt Wu, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to find her here.”
When Xu Qinghuan saw Cui Hao's beaming look, it didn't look like he was telling a lie. However, when Li Xu went to capture him in the military camp, he seemed so magnanimous that even the officials at the Yanshan Dusi Guard Station vouched for Cui Hao.
, this case almost implicated the Yanshan Guard, but thanks to Li Xu’s efforts in the Ministry of Punishment to ensure that the Yanshan Guard had nothing to do with the matter.
Later, Li Xu returned to northern Xinjiang, and the Yanshan Dusi Guards became Li Xu's right-hand man.
"I have been checking Lin Sanniang," Xu Qinghuan said, "Why don't you tell me everything you know, maybe I can find some clues."
Cui Hao nodded and told all the past events.
At the Shangyuan Lantern Festival that year, Cui Hao was taken out by his aunt and servants to enjoy the lanterns. He only remembered that he was looking up at the hanging little rabbit lantern. When he came to his senses, his aunt and servants were gone.
A strange man came and called him with a smile: "Young Master, it's time for us to go home."
Then he gave him a stick of freshly stirred syrup, picked him up and left the market.
Later, he found that all the familiar faces around him were gone, and the man gradually changed his face. If he dared to cry, he would be beaten until he had no strength to howl, and the man would kill him and the two
Monkeys are kept together.
"Monkey urine doesn't stink, but monkey feces smell very bad, and those monkeys have very long teeth. If they are bitten, they will bleed," Cui Hao said. "Live with the monkeys like this for a few days, and then let them out."
, you will be obedient and will not dare to mess around anymore.
I was sold to Yongning County and worked as a servant in a squire's house. In fact, what I could do at that age was serve tea and water... However, the master of that house treated us very well and did not let us do any heavy work.
On weekdays, I serve the pen and ink, learn to sing songs from the troupe, and serve the master in dressing and purifying..."
Cui Hao paused slightly when he said this.
Marquis Anyi has frowned, with a look of disgust on his face. The world is declining, and many dignitaries like to raise young men. Therefore, some people look for good-looking boys early in the morning and teach them since childhood. When the body bones grow a little, they can sell them.
A good price.
Cui Hao continued: "Everyone around me has been taken away. I have been clumsy and clumsy since I was a child, and my voice is not good. At that time, my face looked pretty good, but later on..."
When he said this, Cui Hao looked at An Yihou: "Master Hou has met Master Zheng. Do you think I have some similarities with Master Zheng?"
An Yihou thought about it carefully and then shook his head: "You are taller than the Zheng family, but do you know that the ancestors of the Zheng family were also military generals, and there were also famous generals in the late years of the previous dynasty. I saw them at the Zheng family ancestral hall.
In this painting, he looks very majestic and majestic in military uniform."
Cui Hao nodded when he heard this: "Maybe I followed my ancestors... But it's a pity that I have never seen those paintings. If I have the chance..."
Cui Hao stopped talking. There was no point in talking about those invisible things. He said respectfully: "Master Marquis, please don't laugh at me."
Marquis Anyi made no sound.
Cui Hao continued: "I have no other merits, except that I have a lot of strength. The master didn't like it, so I was never sold. I could only stay in that master's house until I was twelve years old.
I was just as tall as an ordinary man, and in the words of a gentleman, I was extremely rough-looking and didn't have a good future. The gentleman refused to keep me anymore and had me sent to a merchant's house for nursing home.
"
Anyihou was surprised: "Have you been sold again?"
Cui Hao nodded: "This family treats me well. As long as I can do my job well, I can have enough to eat. Later, when the court arrested soldiers, the owner of the family sent me there. We moved to several guardhouses. Now
In Yanshan Dusiwei.
After arriving in Yanshan, I began to trace my life experience. I first found the man who raised me in the first place, and found out the whereabouts of the man who sold me to me. Then I searched bit by bit and found Changzhou...
I asked around about which family had lost a child, and happened to ask an old member of the Zheng family. He said that Mr. Zheng had an aunt named Guiniang. There was an osmanthus tree in the yard where Guiniang lived, and Guiniang's concubine was at the Lantern Festival.
Lost it.
I was overjoyed to find the Zheng family, but things were not as simple as I thought. How could it be possible to identify the ancestors with just one mouth without any evidence? Moreover, the eldest lady said that they had visited the Zheng family uncle before, and the uncle was arrested.
After the man kidnapped him, he died of illness before he could sell it, and the Zheng family had already brought the uncle's body back for burial."
Hearing this, Xu Qinghuan said: "You haven't thought about it, maybe there are coincidences in the world, and you were still young at the time, so you might remember it wrong."
Cui Hao reached out and scratched his head again: "Then why do I feel that the Zheng family is so friendly? The yard at that time, the appearance of my aunt, and I found the person who sold me and found out bit by bit...
But after the Zheng family said this, I had no choice but to return to Yanshanwei, and then Lin Sanniang came to find me."
It sounds like Cui Hao has done nothing wrong. He speaks straightforwardly and his expression is natural. At least it doesn't sound like there are any obvious flaws.
Sitting here, he just looks like a warrior, making it difficult for people to associate him with a ruthless murderer.
But Xu Qinghuan knew very well in her heart that Cui Hao came here with bad intentions. She already knew that Lin Sanniang was working for Su Wan and the others. Cui Hao knew Lin Sanniang and was lured to Changzhou by her. Moreover, she was related to her aunt's husband's family, the Zheng family.
, none of this can be a coincidence.
Marquis Anyi thought for a moment and said, "Are you going to stay in Changzhou for a while?"
Cui Hao nodded: "I have already applied for leave from the Guard Office, and I can stay for ten days and a half."
"That's quite a lot."
"Yes," Cui Hao laughed, "Master Qian heard that I was going to find my biological parents and asked me to find out clearly before going back this time. My brothers are all waiting to hear my good news."
After saying this, Cui Hao looked outside the tent: "When I saw the Changzhou Navy barracks, I missed Yanshan a little. The Navy won the battle, and we Yanshan can also have a good fight at some time. In those
The prestige of the Zhou Dynasty was raised in front of the people."
After saying this, Cui Hao's face was full of smiles: "The Marquis once led troops at the W border in Northern Xinjiang. Even now, our Northern Xinjiang Guardsmen still say that the Marquis is an ever-victorious general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is difficult for others to match him. In these years, Northern Xinjiang
Although it is stable, there are fewer and fewer generals like Mr. Marquis."
Cui Hao seemed to be only interested in marching and fighting. He chased An Yihou and asked endless questions. He talked for another hour before reluctantly leaving.
An Yihou took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know what's going on."
Xu Qinghuan said: "Then Cui Hao came well prepared. You must know that Cui Hao was sent to replace him in the military service. It is not easy to gain his trust. How could he easily leave his post in the guard station to prove that Lin Sanniang was casual?"
Just one word."
An Yihou frowned: "Is that child lying?"
"My father has been in Changzhou for so long, and the Zheng family has not sent anyone here. Now that the Navy has seen a victory, Cui Hao came to visit my father again. I believe the Zheng family will come to inquire about the news soon."
Whoever has a ghost in his heart will jump out first.
…
Song Chengxuan came out of the Chinese army's tent and went straight back to his own tent. At this moment, there was no one in the tent. He sat on the chair and felt very deserted for some reason.
I have been away from home for many years and like the feeling of being alone. What happened today?
Thinking of this, Song Chengxuan got up and walked to the bed, took off his boots and lay down on it.
The hard bed board, lying on it is like a sun-dried fish, standing stiffly, waiting for the scorching sun.
Song Chengxuan sat up and shouted: "Yong Ye... come in..."
