Chapter 80: The King of the Three Rivers
"Bing'er, don't worry about me, if I'm afraid of death, I won't show up just now!" Shen Jingbei pushed away the two officials beside him and said while holding his chest.
"Big ...... Small...... Sister ......" Hou Kaisen was so injured that he couldn't even speak well, and muttered.
Although Shen Manqiu is a modern person, can she not be moved when she sees that someone is willing to die for her?
She smiled slightly and said, "Okay, what they want is that painting, and they don't want our lives, don't make it look like life and death!" ”
Shen Jingbei staggered to Shen Manqiu, waiting for her to tell the place where the calligraphy and paintings were hidden.
Shen Manqiu shook his head with a smile and said, "Big brother, it's still unknown whether you can go back alive like this now, how can I tell you the secret?" ”
At this time, Shen Jingbei and Hou Kaisen didn't even have the ability to protect themselves, and telling them the whereabouts of calligraphy and painting not only didn't help them, but might harm them, how could she tell them at this time.
After a while, the woman in orange came over, she glanced at Shen Jingbei, took out a small jade bottle from her arms, and said, "Your internal injuries are not light, this is a medicine for treating internal injuries, take it first!" ”
"I don't need to!" Shen Jingbei snorted coldly with a resolute expression, since this woman is the second senior sister of the woman in purple, how could he accept the other party's medicine.
The woman in orange didn't expect this person to be so strong, and she didn't say anything to him, but handed the jade bottle to Shen Manqiu on the side, and said calmly: "My junior sister's shot is a little too heavy, I will compensate you on her behalf, you let him take two pills inside, and then recuperate for a few days, it should be fine." ”
Shen Manqiu thought about it, but still reached out and took the little jade bottle, after all, it was not the woman in orange who injured her. Just look at the incomparable woman in purple who is so respectful to her, it is obviously not a simple character, it is not easy for people to talk to themselves so kindly.
What's more, Shen Manqiu doesn't want anything to happen to Shen Jingbei, at this moment, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, it's a big deal to have the ability to find it back in the future, but if the eldest brother Shen Jingbei has something to do, even if he finds it back in the future, what's the use?
Shen Jingbei still wanted to insist on not taking the medicine anymore, but after all, it was no more than Shen Manqiu, so he had to be reluctant to take the medicine.
"Thank you!" Seeing that Shen Jingbei felt better after taking the pill, Shen Manqiu handed the jade bottle back to the woman in orange.
The woman in orange smiled faintly and said, "You're welcome, by the way, what's going on with the grimace and lewd demon?" ”
Although Luo Lijuan promised her to let Shen Jingbei and the two of them go, so many people came here for the grimace and lewd demons, and as soon as she came forward, she took all the things down for Shen Manqiu and the others, and she had to give everyone a reasonable explanation, lest someone chew on the root of the tongue behind her back in the future.
It doesn't matter if she's just her, but what she represents at the moment is the Ghost Palace, so she can't be cautious.
"We had already caught him, but when we came back, we found that he and the people who were guarding him were gone." In this matter, Shen Manqiu has nothing to hide, 1510 authentic.
Luo Lijuan, who was not far away, said in a low voice: "Who knows if what they say is true or false, if the thieves know how to do good deeds, what do they need so many officials to do." ”
She saw that almost everyone present had their eyes on the woman in orange and Shen Manqiu, who had always been the focus of attention, and she naturally felt very uncomfortable.
"I believe she's right, they don't have any benefit from lying to you, and it doesn't seem to be necessary." The woman in orange said lightly.
Everyone also felt that it was reasonable, Shen Manqiu and the others were all thieves, if they said that they had nothing to do, they deliberately ran to the government to surrender and lied that they had caught a grimace and a demon, wouldn't this make them uncomfortable?
When Luo Lijuan heard her say this, she didn't know how to refute it for a while, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and couldn't get off the stage. But the sister-in-law respects the woman in orange so much, she doesn't dare to make a mistake easily.
When Shen Manqiu heard this, he had a better impression of the woman in orange, and then said: "The two of them suddenly disappeared together, there are nothing more than two possibilities, one is that Wang Ying wants to swallow the bounty alone, or maybe he has other plans, so he secretly took away the grimace and lewd demon, and the other possibility is that someone took the two of them away together." ”
Speaking of this, she glanced at Luo Lijuan and said, "You guys send someone to the inn to ask now, maybe you can learn something." ”
Although Luo Lijuan is not angry with Shen Manqiu for pointing fingers at them, it is about the whereabouts of the ghost-faced obscene demon, and she will not be willful enough to act recklessly.
She turned around and gave two orders to the two officials beside her who were in charge of the operation, and saw that the officials went straight to the inn.
"The injuries of the two of them are no longer serious, what more could you ask for?" The orange-clothed woman's voice was so calm that she didn't feel a little colorful.
In fact, Hou Kaisen only suffered some skin injuries, and he couldn't get along for a while, but the situation was not as serious as Shen Jingbei's.
Shen Manqiu pondered for a moment and said, "I can hand over the calligraphy and painting to you, but I must wait until the three of us confirm that we are safe and sound." ”
She wanted to tell the story of the disaster, but it was inevitable that there would be a lot of people in the public, and she was a little unsure in her heart, so she still didn't open her mouth after thinking about it.
After a while, an official sent out came back to report the situation, and sure enough, someone saw Wang Ying getting into a carriage and going out of the city with a person.
"This damn brute, I can't imagine that he will run away again!" Some people can't help but hate the authentic.
Luo Lijuan couldn't help but sneered: "Didn't you say that it was your person, then you should find a way to find him!" ”
Shen Manqiu smiled, didn't speak, and didn't bother to argue with her.
If you don't go out of the city, it may be easy to say, but once you get out of the city, trying to find someone who has the intention to hide is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
In desperation, Luo Lijuan left with a group of officials.
"Well, let's let you rest in the inn for two days, and then you can take us to get calligraphy and paintings. Of course, the two of them can leave at any time, what do you think? The woman in orange watched them leave one after another, and said to Shen Manqiu.
Shen Manqiu had no other choice at this time, and followed the woman in orange to live in an inn together.
The woman in orange prepared a separate upper room for Shen Manqiu, and Shen Jingbei and Hou Kaisen opened a room together.
After settling the three of them, the woman in orange called Green, Blue and Bauhinia and said, "I have something I want to talk to her about alone!" ”
Zijing's face was slightly stiff, but she still nodded, she found the whereabouts of the calligraphy and painting, but Orange Yi was now going to contact Shen Manqiu in private, she naturally didn't feel good in her heart, but she wouldn't fully show it in front of the three of them.
"It's so late, and I haven't rested yet!" The woman in orange came to Shen Manqiu's door and knocked on it gently.
Shen Manqiu cut off a small part of the candle flame core, poured a cup of tea for her, and said, "Think about something, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
"I have something I want to ask you, and I hope you can answer me truthfully!" The orange-clothed woman's voice was a little uncontrollable, and said.
Shen Manqiu slowly sat down in front of her, and said lightly, "Please speak!" ”
"Honestly, you look very similar to someone I know, if you don't mind, can you tell me the truth about your origins? Rest assured, I will never mention it to a third person without your permission. The woman in orange asked with a nervous expression.
Shen Manqiu smiled lightly and said, "You must be thinking too much, how can a person like me have anything to do with a big man like you?" ”
"Haven't you heard of the 'Ghost Palace' before?" The woman in orange asked undiscouraged.
Shen Manqiu shook his head and said indifferently: "I'm just a rural village girl who has never seen the world, how can I know how big the world is?" ”
"When you were out there just now, you seemed to have something to say to me, but you didn't, can you tell me now?" The woman in orange knocked on the side of the tunnel.
Shen Manqiu thought for a while and said, "The three of us came to Qingzhou this time, just to do our best for those victims who are in dire straits, but I didn't expect to meet a grimace on the way here......
"Well, then you, you're okay...... Right? The woman in orange asked nervously and with concern.
Shen Manqiu looked at her in surprise, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's okay!" ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" The woman in orange said again and again, "What did you mean when you just said that you would do something for the victims?" ”
Shen Manqiu found that her attitude towards herself was suddenly much better, and she thought to herself that she was really very similar to the people she knew, and confessed: "Our Fengcheng County did not suffer any disasters this time, but I don't know how Zhu Chenglin of the county got it, and it seems that 30,000 taels of silver were allocated to Fengcheng County for disaster relief, so we thought of filing a complaint in Qingzhou, hoping to let those disaster silver be used where it should be used." ”
"These dog officers!" A word of indignation came out of the mouth of the orange-clothed woman, who had always been calm, and she pondered for a while: "As far as I know, the official reputation of Luo Youwei, the prefect of Qingzhou, is not very good, and you have worked hard to go to Qingzhou to complain, but I am afraid that it may not be useful." ”
Shen Manqiu also heard about this, at first she didn't understand who Luo Lijuan was, but through the mouth of this woman in orange, she knew that she was the beloved daughter of the Qingzhou prefect, no wonder she didn't take Zhu Xiaoming in her eyes at all, and there were so many people around her to protect her.
Said sincerely: "I know that the Fengcheng County Order and the Luo Prefect have some kinship, if it really can't be done, then there is no way, just do your best to obey the destiny of heaven!" ”
She thought that Luo Lijuan listened to her sister-in-law very much, and the invincible Bauhinia had to be in awe of this woman, if she came forward, maybe things could be done, so she deliberately put on an indispensable posture, hoping that she could take the initiative to take the matter over.
How did the woman in orange not know her thoughts, the corner of her mouth smiled, and said: "Luo Zhifu is Zijing's brother, we should not come forward in this matter, I am afraid that we can't help." ”
When Shen Manqiu's face just showed a look of loss, she continued: "If you really want to help those victims, it's not impossible! ”
"What's the solution?" Shen Manqiu could feel that the other party had dug a pit and was waiting for her to jump inside, but it was about thousands of victims, so she had to close her eyes and jump inside.
The woman in orange blurted out: "King of the Three Rivers! ”
Seeing Shen Manqiu's bewildered face and a blank look on her face, she then explained: "The King of the Three Rivers, that is, the king of Qinghe, Liaohe, and Chihe, naturally includes Qingzhou!" ”
"It's so powerful, why does it sound like the emperor, is it useful to find him? Will he care? Shen Manqiu couldn't help but feel a little uncertain.
The orange-clothed woman nodded with a smile and said, "It's roughly the same, the silver taels for Qingzhou disaster relief were allocated by him, do you think he will take care of it?" ”
After coming to Qingzhou, Shen Manqiu also overheard someone talking about the King of the Three Rivers, and he was alarmed, and said: "Since you know the King of the Three Rivers, why don't you help do a good deed, and those victims will be grateful to you." ”
For some reason, she always felt as if this woman was going to take her into the ditch, but she couldn't let others lead her by the nose, don't ask someone to sell it and help her count the money?
"How can that work?" Sure enough, the woman in orange immediately shook her head and refused: "We are not from Fengcheng County, and we don't understand the situation, and no one will believe us if we say it." ”
Shen Manqiu decided that he was right, and said hesitantly: "Then I'll think about it again!" ”
"No problem!" The orange-clothed woman nodded with a smile and said, "By the way, I don't know Miss's surname yet?" ”
Shen Manqiu said casually: "Why don't you give up, my name is Shen Manqiu, and I said that it has nothing to do with the people you know." ”
There was a name of Shen Jingbing before, which made Shen Manqiu extremely sensitive to his name, so he didn't think about using a fake name to deceive the other party, thinking: Could it be that the name he used in modern times, can anyone else think of anything? That's incredible, isn't it?
"What? Your surname is Shen too? To Shen Manqiu's surprise, Orange Yi actually screamed.
Shen Manqiu looked at her in confusion, and said inexplicably: "There are more people with the surname Shen, is this also wrong?" ”
But I was thinking in my heart, when my father-in-law Shen Yuan refused to tell her life experience, there seemed to be a big secret hidden in it, and then looking at these people acting strangely, and their martial arts were even more terrifying, could it really be related to her?
"Miss Shen, can you tell me more about your origins? I know it's unreasonable and a little ridiculous, but it's really important to me, okay? Just as she was muttering, the woman in orange couldn't help but ask.
Shen Manqiu looked at the woman in front of her carefully, her age seemed to be a few years younger than Bauhinia, about thirty years old, she looked beautiful and refined, and she didn't taste like fireworks in the world.
Seeing that her body trembled slightly with excitement, and that she had been pretty good to herself since she saw her, Shen Manqiu said slowly: "I don't know much about that, my father-in-law doesn't want to tell me, he just said that he would naturally know when he should know."
