Chapter 432: Fiancée
She stretched out her hand to pull Shao Mingyuan, and said in a low voice: "Brother Shao, I know something is wrong." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The young general was shocked by the call of "Brother Shao", and there was a smile on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes: "Huh?"
The corners of Qiao Zhao's mouth twitched, wanting to glance at someone, and inexplicably felt that someone's smirk looked like a long-haired dog she had raised in the apricot forest many years ago, silly and silly.
Later, the long-haired dog ran away from home and never came back. Grandfather said that it was because it was in the end of its life, and he didn't want her to see it die, so he quietly hid.
At that time, she was very sad for a while.
Qiao Zhao couldn't help but glance at Shao Mingyuan, and thought: What will happen to her if he disappears one day?
Maybe it's a little sad.
Thinking like this, Miss Qiao's eyes couldn't be sent out, and she retracted her distant thoughts and whispered, "There are no young women in this town. ”
Not to mention a place with relaxed etiquette like a coastal town, even on the streets of the capital, there are many young ladies who take maids and ladies to wander on the streets.
There are a lot of pedestrians in this town, and there is not a single young woman, which is too strange.
Shao Mingyuan's eyes swept away, and sure enough, as Qiao Zhao said, most of the pedestrians coming and going in the town were all kinds of men, and occasionally a woman could be seen, but they were all in their thirties and forties.
And those people were also looking at them, and their eyes fell on Qiao Zhao and the two maids.
This anomaly is actually quite obvious, and it can be noticed as soon as someone reminds it, but if no one pierces this layer of window paper, it will become dark under the lamp, and it is often difficult to detect.
Shao Mingyuan boasted that he had good observation skills, but he still came to his senses after hearing Qiao Zhao say this.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that he never paid attention to other women.
The young general was vigilant in his heart, and secretly reminded himself: There can be no more such mistakes in the future, no matter what kind of man or woman he is, there are only three kinds of people in this world for him: Zhaozhao, friends and others.
The crowd walked up to a liquor store.
"Let's go first. Shao Mingyuan walked in first.
The seaside town is different from the bustling capital, without the enthusiasm of the guys in the Beijing restaurant, the guys in the small wine shop glanced at Shao Mingyuan and the others lazily, until they saw Qiao Zhao and the others, and suddenly jumped up, and their faces changed greatly: "Go, go!"
Yang Houcheng slapped the table abruptly and sneered: "Aren't you a wine shop here, there is a reason to rush guests so much in broad daylight?"
Only then did the man see that the small liquor shop was full of tall men.
He felt bitter in his heart: It's troublesome, I saw three little ladies at a glance just now, but I didn't notice that there were so many people on the other side.
The shopkeeper hurriedly ran out when he heard the movement, and glared at the guy fiercely: "How do you do something!"
The guy looked aggrieved.
He didn't want to do this, but the three little ladies were as shiny as gold, and who didn't see it at first sight.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our wine shop is too small, you people can't sit down. Why don't you move somewhere else—"
Yang Houcheng grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, we are hungry, we have to eat now!"
The shopkeeper was pinched and rolled his eyes, raised his leg and kicked the stunned guy, and reprimanded: "Why don't you invite the guests to sit down!"
The small wine shop rarely had a private room, Qiao Zhao and the others walked in, and the others stayed in the hall.
After ordering the food, the guy ran away, Yang Houcheng sneered: "This kind of soft persimmon is a toast and a penalty for not eating." ”
While waiting for the food to be served, several people started talking about what they had just discovered.
"Why aren't there any young women in this town? Is it heavier than the rules of the capital, and young women must not go out of the door?" Yang Houcheng poured a few sips of tea and muttered.
Chi Can glanced at Qiao Zhao and said lightly: "Instead of guessing, it's better to ask directly." ”
Yang Houcheng looked at Shao Mingyuan.
Shao Mingyuan said with a smile: "Shixi is right, it is best to ask directly, it is simple, rude and effective." ”
Different people should be interrogated by different means, and it is best to ask them directly.
Chi Can patted Yang Houcheng's arm: "Yang Er, this matter has to be handed over to you." ”
"Why is it me again, I was pretending to be a bully just now, can't I change someone else now?"
"Because you look the most alike, let me pretend, how laborious. ”
Yang Houcheng smiled: "If you pretend to be a little lady, you are the most suitable." ”
Chi Can's face darkened, and he couldn't help but think of the fact that he had disguised himself as a woman and infiltrated the Rifu.
I didn't think so, but now that I think about it, Mo Fei Lisan saw that he looked better than her in women's clothes, so he felt inferior?
Thinking about it like this, Chi Can regretted it, and naturally he didn't have a good face for Yang Houcheng.
Yang Houcheng knew that he was speechless, smiled embarrassedly, and just happened to come in with the wine and food, and after the guy put the wine and food away, he reached out and grabbed the guy's wrist, and said viciously: "Stand against the wall!"
Yang Houcheng's hand was strong, and the man's wrist suddenly felt a heart-piercing pain, so he had to stand honestly against the wall, and asked pitifully, "What else does the guest officer have to order?"
"Why don't you see young women here?" asked Yang Houcheng straight to the point.
As soon as these words came out, the young man's face suddenly changed, and he shook his head again and again: "The little one doesn't know this, I don't know-"
"Something to do with the government?" Shao Mingyuan suddenly asked.
If you can make ordinary people so secretive, nine times out of ten things will have something to do with the local government.
The guy was already stunned by Shao Mingyuan's words.
Shao Mingyuan put his hand on the table, and when he took it back, he left a piece of broken silver on the table, and said in a calm tone: "We are just passing by here, and there is no other meaning to inquire about this matter, purely because we found that there are no young women here, and we are worried about the safety of my fiancée." I hope that the little brother can solve our doubts, even if you say it, even if we hear it, that's all. ”
Fiancee?
The corners of Chi Can's mouth twitched, and Yang Houcheng was so frightened that he gave him a kick under the table.
Master Chi, let's quit, don't make a mess, fiancée is fiancée, Miss Li didn't object, it's serious to ask the situation first.
Ji Chan tugged at the corners of his mouth.
He was just surprised that Shao Mingyuan was too thick-skinned, why did Yang Er kick him?
Miss Qiao, who was admitted by Yang Hou as having no objection at all, quietly clenched her fists.
That's it, it's important to get down to business.
Shao Mingyuan's words made the guy hesitate, looked left and right, and lowered his voice: "The little one will say it directly." There are no young women in our town, not because the young women are nested at home and can't come out, but because they were given to the widows by the official master!"
This was a surprise to everyone.
Local officials gave young women to the Wakos?
The guy raised his hand and wiped away a handful of tears: "The first two years were fine, but then the Japanese came more and more frequently, and in order to ensure a moment of peace, the official picked a few young women from the town every once in a while to give them to the Japanese invaders." After a long time, the young woman died and ran, where can I see it. ”
