Gu Tao's scolding immediately made the atmosphere between the two sides tense.

The officers and soldiers at the head pulled out their swords and pointed at Ling Caiwei and the four of them and shouted: "Where did Diao Min come from, he dared to sneak attack the officers, and he wanted to rebel and failed? ”

Ling Caiwei slapped the case angrily: "Who dares!"

The officer looked at her in a green robe, with a white jade inlaid on her blue forehead, and although her eyebrows were clear and her eyes were beautiful, her complexion was yellow, and her figure was slightly thin. I just heard the scolding young man in white call him Master's sister, could it be that he is a woman dressed as a man?

He glanced at the two girls beside the young man again, one more beautiful than the other, thinking that it didn't matter if he was a man or a woman, he would take them all back to the Cuihong Mansion in a while.

"In the realm of Texas, there is nothing that Lao Tzu does not dare to do. Lao Tzu is an official, you are a citizen, I say that if you are wrong, you will be at fault, so hurry up and obediently arrest Lao Tzu. ”

He pointed a knife at Ling Caiwei, Yumeng and Nan Yan stood up and wanted to make a move, but Ling Caiwei stopped them in time.

She didn't come out to cause trouble this time.

The day after the prince left, the fat man Qi sent a letter to her, in which he said three important things.

First, Fat Ziqi explained in detail the reason for not leaving the Xianwang Mansion for the time being. After reading his explanation, she couldn't stop crying or laughing. His reasons are simple and simple, and they are his usual style.

Since he was a child, he has been fascinated by everything that is associated with cooking and good food. No wonder Gu Tao said he was crazy. Outsiders will never understand his dedication and enthusiasm for this matter. She readily accepted the explanation.

Second, he temporarily entrusted Nan Yan to Ling Caiwei to take care of. If there is a chance, it is best to cure her muteness. This matter is kind of pleased to her.

Third, Fat Ziqi mentioned a person, Yan Feiying. told Ling Caiwei to go to Texas to find him. He may have known the clues of General Ling's injustice.

This last point shocked Ling Caiwei's spirit. Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately decided to go to Texas to find Yan Feiying.

Lime and Lu Mo insisted on going with them, but Ling Caiwei refused. She comforted the pouting and unhappy two, and explained that only if they were in the Palace of Eternal Life, she could secretly go to Texas under the pretext that the crown princess was sick.

Qing and Green know that she is eager for revenge, and now she finally has clues, of course, she must spare no effort to support her.

At this moment, close to the border of Texas, Ling Caiwei really didn't want to go against the government and cause trouble. But. Encountering injustices. She can't sit idly by.

Ling Caiwei wanted to solve the problem in another way, temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart and said to the officer: "The government must also have a reason to arrest people, what mistake did Li Laohan make and you want to arrest his daughter?"

A man behind the officers and soldiers said: "He has escaped the county's taxes and has no money to pay back." According to the rules, he arrested his daughter to pay off the debt. ”

That old man Li heard them say so. Crying and justifying: "Texas has had a drought for three consecutive years. Without water in the fields, you can't grow crops at all, you can't harvest grain, and you can't pay taxes. In the past two years, I even sold my house to pay taxes, and this year I can't come out to beg for food. Do well. Don't catch my daughter. After saying that, he kowtowed a few more times.

Gu Taolai was so angry that he jumped in front of him, picked up Li Laohan, and said angrily: "The old man has stood up for me, and I am not allowed to kowtow to these turtle grandsons again." ”

Li Laohan was suddenly picked up by him, and his body was unstable and shook a few times, but fortunately, his daughter supported him in time and did not fall.

The officer and soldier who was cut off his head heard that he was cursing again, so angry that he raised his knife and slashed at him, seeing that he was about to cut his shoulder, Gu Tao was not in a hurry and turned sideways gently, the officer and soldier did not see clearly how he made a move, the knife had been unloaded, and others were also knocked into the officers and soldiers behind.

Gu Tao came to point a knife at them, and said in the vicious appearance of the officer just now: "You ghost grandsons all shut up obediently, and the master's master and sister want to give me a lecture, and they will listen to me honestly." ”

Those officers and soldiers were all old fritters, and seeing that the young man in white in front of him was extraordinary, he was not tough, and the officer led by said: "We are also acting under orders." He doesn't make friends, and we can't do it. ”

Ling Caiwei looked at the poor father and daughter, remembering the hurried farewell to her before her father's execution, the worry and reluctance in his eyes were similar to the eyes of Li Laohan looking at his daughter, as if it was the father and her who were bullied by the officers and soldiers.

When she was young, she could only watch her family be humiliated one by one. Today, she protects the father and daughter.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll give you how much money he owes. Ling Caiwei looked at Nan Yan, and she immediately went to her sleeve pocket to take out the silver.

"Three hundred taels of silver. "The officer looked at them as rich men and wanted to pay a sky-high price.

"You people oppress the people and do all kinds of evil, and you are not as good as beasts. How much land can a poor family have, and where can they get so many taxes?" Ling Caiwei has been on the border with the army for many years, and she knows the suffering of the people.

The officer replied, "It was not much, but he never paid it, and the interest became three hundred taels." ”

When Li Laohan and his daughter heard him say this, they both wanted to die.

Ling Caiwei didn't listen to him, and took a silver ticket from Nan Yan's hand and held it in his hand: "This is one hundred taels, take away the matter and write a note, Li Laohan will not owe you any taxes from now on." ”

When the officer heard her say this, he laughed arrogantly, and the officers and soldiers behind him also laughed together. Yu Meng raised his hand, and the people who laughed the most instantly had a silver needle on their mouths, and they all lost their voices in pain and fear.

The officer was still a little bold, trembling and pulling the silver needle from the corner of his mouth, he took a breath and said, "We know that several of them are not ordinary people, but we can't ask for silver, and Li Laohan's daughter must be taken away." Otherwise, a few of us might not have survived to make it back. ”

"It's really a toast and don't eat and drink. Master, I've never seen an official who doesn't like silver. Isn't it too little?" he gave Nan Yan a look, but Nan Yan didn't pay attention to him at all, looking at Ling Caiwei, waiting for her to speak.

Before leaving, Ling Caiwei had already told the three of them what the purpose of this trip was. Because of her special status, it is best to sneak into Texas quietly and return to Ancheng quietly after finishing her errands. Since the four of them didn't want to make a big deal out of it, she thought for a moment and took out two silver tickets: "Three hundred taels, take it." ”

The officer could not have imagined that she would spend so much money for someone she had never known, and he was annoyed that the money he had just asked for was too little. Now I can only play hard: "I'm afraid three hundred taels won't work." We don't want money, we just people. ”

"Bastard, don't give you a way to live, then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless. Ling Caiwei was angry for a while, and really regarded herself as a man, and scolded them. His hand reached for the sachet hanging from his waist, wanting to use the poison.

Gu Taolai couldn't hold back for a long time, and when he heard Ling Caiwei's hair, he shouted: "It actually made my master and sister angry, don't want to live." ”

He raised the knife he had just snatched in his hand and rushed towards the dozen officers and soldiers.

Those people can eat this mouthful, and it's not a good stubble. Although his martial arts were mediocre, more than a dozen people surrounded Gu Tao at the same time, and he couldn't get cheap for a while.

only heard the sound of "ouch" from the fighting place, and Ling Caiwei's heart sank.
