Chapter 153: Jealousy

Mrs. Cao glanced at Xiao Yan a few times, and was quite satisfied, with a little smile on her face: "Yes, you should pick such a girl with fine skin and tender meat, you always look for those village girls in the countryside to do something, and you have to train when you go back, I don't know how many layers of skin to wash off, in order to look like a person, to be good enough, to be able to sell at a price, how good is this, women learn it, they can play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, everyone, Miss, if something happens, the family doesn't dare to make a noise, for fear of damaging the reputation of other daughters, and it will be over for a while." ”

Xiao Yan listened to her smug voice, and originally thought that he would be furious.

She had hated the crutches so much that she felt that if she saw them, she could bite them to death with her teeth alone.

When I saw it today, I still hated, but I suddenly found that in fact, the pain that had accumulated in my heart, as if it could not be resolved in my lifetime, was eased a little, she still hated and hurt, but she was not the Yan Haiyan who could sacrifice anything as long as she could retaliate.

She didn't even feel too much fear.

It's as if she knows that someone will do whatever it takes to find her and get her out......

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

The men were taken aback and grabbed their knives casually.

Mrs. Cao was also taken aback, but she was still calm, sorted out her clothes, and walked out slowly.

"Who?"

As soon as the door was opened, a black shadow rushed over, Cao Pozi fell, and as soon as her body was heavy, she felt a fishy smell coming to her nose, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a bloody mouth and sharp fangs. right in front of her eyes.

Mrs. Cao was so frightened that she just wanted to scream.

The two servants stepped forward in unison and gagged her.

They have been on errands for many years, and they have a lot of experience, and they are still very skilled in doing such things.

Xiaohe's ears suddenly moved, and he disappeared in a flash.

"This is a habitual offender, I'm afraid it's too late, I've already run away."

One of the old officials frowned, like this kind of crutch, very vigilant, when he noticed that something was wrong, he would never make a special determination.

In the past, they also received occasional tips. Found the dens of these people. But there are very few who can catch them all.

And usually, these people are stubborn to the end, even if they are caught and tortured, they would rather die than confess.

First, it may have been trained like this since childhood. The brains are all domesticated. Don't dare to betray at all.

Second, it may also be that there is a handle in the hands of others. If you don't confess, you just die, even if you die a little more tragically, so that your relatives can be saved. But if you recruit it, it will be doomed.

The official shook his head, forget it, this time he can save people safely, it is a great achievement.

Hongchen was so unflustered that as soon as he let go of Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu ignored the injuries on his body and swished in, and everyone hurriedly followed.

Passing through the hall, I saw Xiu Xiu yelling at a tattered cabinet, Hongchen didn't ask for help, he went over and pushed it gently, and the cabinet moved away.

Inside, there's a curtain.

If you want to come to a cabinet that an old woman can open casually, it won't be too difficult for Hongchen to do it.

Opened the door curtain and went in, it was dark inside, and the big window at the back had already opened.

Luo Niang saw Xiao Yan sitting on the ground at first sight, his mouth was gagged, and his arms and legs were tied firmly.

"Whew."

walked over and cut the rope for her, Luo Niang exhaled, "My little ancestor, what about your ability?" Why is it so miserable that people are arrested? I think that the martial arts course should be increased again, but I can't always be lazy. ”

"Excuse me?"

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, rubbed his arm, staggered to his feet, and rushed over to jump out of the window.

Hongchen hurriedly grabbed it: "Don't worry, that old woman is in our hands, and Xiaohe has also caught up." ”

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, slowly turned around, looked at Hongchen, and suddenly burst into tears: "Miss, did I say that I am really grateful, I am very grateful to you." ”

If it weren't for the young lady's presence, she would have died a very humble and humble death, and even if she died, she couldn't close her eyes with peace of mind.

"I saw a man who was taken with me, and they must have something to do with the kidnappers who kidnapped me in the first place."

Xiao Yan squinted his eyes, with a fierce look on his face, and even Luo Niang was startled: "Such a coincidence? ”

These girls were abducted in different places, I don't know how many times, and then they fell to the point of becoming a wandering warbler, batch after batch of increases, batch after batch of death, those long years, now I think about it I have a vague memory, but a little memory, the pain will gnaw at my heart.

Xiao Yan's whole body was a little weak, and he couldn't help but hug the other two girls, one big and one small, who were trembling with fear.

Hongchen sighed, "We're done with this. ”

There should be a closure, and it's just an opportunity to do so.

If this old thing can't really pass, dig out the cancer in Xiao Yan's and Luo Niang's hearts, no matter how good they are now, the scars will never heal, and there will be no new beginning.

"You still have a long future ahead of you, how can you let a bunch of scum hold you back?"

Xiao Yan burst into tears, crying and screaming loudly.

Xiu Xiu saw that his master shed tears, he was so anxious that he stretched out his long tongue and gently licked her face, Xiao Yan held it down, pressed it in his arms and rubbed it for a while: "Don't lick it, you haven't brushed your teeth for a few days?" It stinks, it stinks! ”

"Ahh

The little thing seemed to understand, covered his eyes with his two front paws, sneaked a glance at Hongchen, and then glanced at Xiao Yan, burying his chest very shyly!

Hongchen went over to check Xiao Yan's pulse, and then diagnosed the other two girls, Xiao Yan was fine, the other two were greatly frightened, cold and tired, and they were afraid that they would be seriously ill when they went back.

At this time, the two old men who were following the official squeezed in, and when they saw the two girls lying on the ground, they immediately cried.

Luo Niang thought that they had found their daughter, so she heard the old lady shout: "No, there is no Wu'er in my family." How could it not be! ”

And all the hearts of the people groaned.

Even those officials couldn't bear it a little.

It is best if a girl can get someone back on the first day of her abduction, but if it is delayed for a long time, the child is fine, if it is a big girl......

I'm afraid that even if I come back, there will be big trouble after that.

Hongchen frowned: "Retry that old woman, two, don't make a noise about it, just say that your daughter went to visit a relative's house." ”

The two of them had no master at this time, so they could only nod desperately.

"Good. Good ......"

But when I think of what my daughter might have suffered. They couldn't help but weep bitterly, and they were so uncomfortable that they wanted to die.

"Why Wu'er! Why is it my Wu'er. ”

Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will probably wonder why it is not someone else. It's their own loved ones.

But there are so many whys in the world!

Not for a while. Xiaohe was carrying a big man in one hand. They were all half-dead and thrown directly to the ground.

The old couple pounced and knelt down for them. He cried out: "Please, please, give our daughter back to us, as long as her daughter comes back, we are willing to do anything, you have mercy, you have mercy, you have mercy......"

The cry shook the sky.

A group of officials felt very uncomfortable in their hearts, and they wanted to slaughter these two.

Hongchen glanced at Xiaohe.

"There are only two living mouths left." Xiaohe said softly, "The two of them have the highest kung fu, and they should be the leaders." ”

People like this, most of them rely on their fists to speak, and those who speak by their brains will not come out to do black work in person, and it must be right to catch those with high martial arts.

The people of the yamen immediately carried it back for interrogation.

Hongchen didn't intervene, and took Xiao Yan back with Luo Niang, and called the doctor to come over to make a soothing soup to drink.

As a result, as soon as she came back, the queen mother of the palace called her, Hongchen changed her clothes, got in the car and left.

Others have not seen the queen for many years, but she often wants to see her, especially after returning from the snowy mountains, not only the queen, but even the emperor also wants to reward some playthings and the like from time to time, and she is quite important.

Now the name of the most popular county lord in the capital is not spread casually.

It's Yu Yi who comes to pick up people, this kid seems to be very attentive and conscientious as a royal guard, and even his father occasionally brags outside, saying that his son has grown up, not as ignorant as before, he can only read, and he hasn't learned the ability of his ancestors at all, and now he is also very concerned about martial arts.

Anyway, except for always refusing to find him a daughter-in-law and give birth to a big fat grandson, the old general is not dissatisfied.

Yu Yi was still polite to Hongchen.

Hongchen glanced at him, frowned, and said, "The young general's complexion is not good, I'm afraid I've been overworked recently, and I need to rest more." ”

Yu Yi smiled.

Entering the palace, the chief eunuch of Ganquan Palace has already greeted him outside, usually the prince and princess come to the door, and this old chief manager rarely comes out to greet him in person, Hongchen doesn't dare to take Qiao, and said politely: "I haven't thanked Gonggong Chen yet, Su and Yang's two little fathers-in-law have excellent medical skills, and Xiu Xiu's body is recovering very well." ”

Su and Yang are both little eunuchs in the palace zoo, and their status is very low, but even if they are county lords, if they want to ask for someone from the palace, they have to go through the inner house, and the procedures are very troublesome.

Gonggong Chen looked kind and smiled, "Ouch, the county lord said that they served well, that is their blessing, these two small ones, there is no ability to serve them, serving a dog ancestor, cat ancestor, that is still experienced, if the county lord likes it, why don't you let the two of them serve in the past?" ”

Hongchen blinked, but didn't excuse himself.

The manpower in her house has not yet been arranged, and it is time to pick someone.

As soon as Gonggong Chen saw it, he ordered a few words, and before Hongchen arrived at Ganquan Palace, the two little eunuchs packed up their things and were directly arranged to the county lord's mansion.

Of course, they are not unhappy.

The palace is beautiful, and as soon as it is said to be from the palace, it naturally makes the people below take a look, but it also depends on what it does.

They serve some cats, dogs, insects and birds in the zoo on weekdays, the masters like to come and have fun, and it is not their turn to show their faces, those big eunuchs are very strict, they have been in the palace for more than ten years, at most they have looked at the master from a distance, they really have no ability to set close, get together, in this way, it is better to follow which favored master to go out.

Right now, the county lord of Rong'an, it is the best choice, once you are familiar with it, there will be no trouble adapting after you go. Second, this master is easy to serve. Unlike other proud sons of the sky, they don't even look like an object to their subordinates.

When they are eunuchs, they are different from palace maids, they have to count on their masters all their lives, and if they don't choose a good master, they won't even have a deputy coffin when they get old in the future.

These two don't expect to be like the big eunuchs around His Majesty, serving His Majesty for a lifetime, and maybe there is hope to be buried in the imperial mausoleum when they look back, and they will continue to serve the Lord Long Live in the future, so they want to buy some property. When you get old, you have some reliance.

As soon as you enter the Ganquan Palace. There was a group of people walking on the opposite side.

Gonggong Chen looked at it, then led Hongchen to turn around, and said in a low voice: "That's the young lady of the Fengjun Wang family." ”

Hongchen glanced at it and happened to look at the woman. For a while, I felt cold in my heart. Instinctively, this person didn't like her very much.

But. The other party didn't show it at all, and smiled politely and paused slightly. Waiting for Hongchen and them to pass, they continued to walk, very well-behaved.

Hongchen immediately remembered who she was, the only daughter of the Fengjun Wang family, and later caused a scandal, which caused jokes all over the capital, and made the Nine Princes, who had already become emperors at that time, furious, and explicitly blasted her out of the capital, ordering her not to step into the capital for the rest of her life.

I didn't pay attention to it at first, because her appearance and bearing were a little different from the one in her impression.

Hongchen was very impressed by this person.

In her previous life, when Hongchen first entered the upper-class social situation, she was gentle and considerate on her face, and she made a good person, but she was actually framed several times, which made Hongchen anxious for a while.

But she didn't have too many enemies in her previous life, but this one really can't be ranked, so she didn't pay too much attention to it in this life.

In her previous life, she didn't have time to figure out why this person couldn't get along with herself when she had no intersection.

Standing here at this time, even if she didn't think too hard, she probably knew that it was still the sin of glory and wealth.

This young lady of the Fengjun Wang's family is a concubine, her mother died early, and she had a very bad time in the county king's mansion before, or she grew up, her appearance was also good, her own means were quite clever, and she worked hard to meet and greet those relatives, and later relied on ten years as a day, every day to go to the queen to ask for peace, even if the queen would not let her enter the door every time, rain or shine, and finally moved the mother, let the mother see her, it was barely hugged the queen's thick legs, life was better, and the status in the county palace was higher than usual.

In her previous life, this young lady was bent on being the most favored lady of the queen, and when she saw Hongchen's face, it was strange that she would have no sense of crisis, those small tricks, small actions, were naturally normal.

In this life, she worked so hard, and the queen treated her lightly, at most, because she was diligent, more familiar than other princes and princesses, but as soon as Hongchen entered Beijing, the emperor personally issued an order to let her be the queen's granddaughter seriously, and the queen also liked her very much.

This daughter of the county king's family can have a good impression of Hongchen to have a ghost, I'm afraid it's not just a matter of not having a good feeling, once she has the opportunity, she will definitely pounce and bite this Rong'an county lord who suddenly appeared.

Speaking of which, Chen Ke, the only thing worth learning from this young lady is her endurance, she obviously hates you so much in her heart, but she can also smile kindly, and never say that you are not to your face.

Not to mention anything else, seeing that people can spend ten years grinding the queen's other treatment, I also know that she is full of resilience.

If you change to someone else, I'm afraid that if you don't see hope for a year, you will give up.

"See that Chen Ke?"

The queen smiled, "That guy is very interesting, thick-skinned. ”

Hongchen: "......"

Their mother is a poisonous tongue.

"Okay, this person is not worth mentioning, but he is a little careful, very straightforward, and no one in the palace can see clearly."

The queen didn't have the heart to pay attention to an outsider, and she was willing to meet that person a few days ago, not because she was impressed or anything, but because she thought it was very interesting, and wanted to know what this girl was going to do and what she could do.

Now that the serious beautiful granddaughter is staying in front of her, how can she have time to watch the show?

"Turn around and let people know, what I want in this Ganquan Palace is a clean, I can't use her little filial piety, don't keep it in the way."

Hongchen couldn't cry or laugh.

In fact, the queen is like this, which is called willful and flamboyant, and when people hear these words, they must say that she is not decent and has no motherly demeanor.

It seems that when she was young, Niangniang was not like this, the rumored queen. He was also magnanimous and enthusiastic about everything in the court.

Hongchen didn't know which attitude was better, but obviously, there was no room for her junior to put his beak in this matter.

The queen pulled her forward and sat down, looked at her eyebrows carefully, and the languid expression on her face faded and became a little serious.

"Ah Chen, do you want to take the spirit master test?"

Hongchen was stunned: "...... Is it necessary? ”

She knew that the certification of a serious spiritual master was carried out by the imperial court. The imperial court recognized the qualifications of some spiritual masters. But in fact, how many talents does the imperial court recognize?

She felt better free.

The queen smiled: "It's not what you think, the assessment is not to control the spirit master, at least not at first." The emperor wanted to take control. But here's the thing. A spirit master who does not pass the test will not understand. ”

Niangniang said hazy, but listening to her meaning, she wanted Hongchen to take the test.

Hongchen rubbed his eyebrows. Blinked: "But, I don't know how to take the test?" ”

She'd only heard the rumors.

The matter of the spiritual master assessment is very mysterious in the four countries, and everything is hearsay.

The queen suddenly laughed: "Then you don't have to worry about it, as long as you want to participate, I will do it for you, and someone will naturally evaluate it when the time comes." ”

Putting down this sentence, her old man changed the topic and didn't mention it at all, although Hongchen was really a little curious, she didn't have to get to the bottom of it, besides, what she was thinking about at this time was still the matter of those kidnappers.

The Empress apparently knew about it as well.

"Abductors are hateful, Ah Chen can catch a few, even if he only saves one or two girls, it is a great merit."

She lives in the court, but she is well-informed, no wonder she has turned the emperor away for many years, and no one dares to slack off.

As she was talking, a palace maid entered the door and bowed down and said softly: "Niangniang, Concubine Yu Guifei had a seizure in the imperial dining room today, saying that the fish for her was not fresh. ”

In these things, the queen did not avoid Hongchen at all, and sneered: "What do you want me to do, do you still want me to judge the lawsuit for her and the imperial dining room?" ”

"Don't dare to disturb the mother!"

The palace maid lowered her head, and as soon as the queen waved her hand, she retreated backwards in fear.

The queen smiled and patted Hongchen's hand: "Look at it, it can't be clean in the palace, just because I tasted the vegetarian meat in the imperial dining room a few days ago, and I rewarded the chef, and I have to report it to me for such a little thing today." ”

She shook her head and showed a sarcastic smile, "Look, Concubine Yu will definitely come to me to sit down and give me a so-called very lovely gift, even if I don't see her as usual, she will have to wait honestly for a long time today." ”

"Okay, you go and go busy with your business, we Hongchen are busy people, and we can't compare to my idleness."

The queen laughed, "Save yourself a moment of going out and meeting someone you hate, you should panic." ”

Hongchen responded honestly, only pretending not to understand, such words, the queen can say, she can't listen to them randomly.

After leaving Ganquan Palace, it was Gonggong Chen who sent her, and sure enough, when she saw Concubine Yu's dependence, she didn't even take the car, but on foot, walking in a hurry, with a dignified face.

Gonggong Chen knew the queen's intentions very well, and led Hongchen to avoid it, but he didn't bump into it, and he had to salute when he met him, but it was very troublesome.

All the way out of the palace.

Hongchen sat in the car and thought - if the people in the palace were sober, I was afraid that life would not be easy, and I would be tired of watching those messy dramas and texts.

Fortunately, most of them are still bystanders, and they can't wake up when they are in it.

If life is a play, the court is a big stage.

After leaving the palace gate, she didn't go back to the house first, but went to the yamen, and it is estimated that the people in the yamen were quite collapsed.

What is the Yamen? Ordinary people go to hell once, not to mention the nobles of the capital, even those powerful people are also pickled first, where are they willing to get involved?

But the red dust came to the ground, making the yamen here, from top to bottom, in a cold sweat.

So the few people in the yamen were poured blood mold, and all kinds of infrequently used methods took turns to go up, and they were prepared on weekdays, and they also had ways to deal with it, such as Cao Pozi, who would only pretend to be crazy and stupid.

She is old, and when she is forced to ask, she pretends to be dizzy, and she pretends to be very similar, and even the doctor can't find out.

The other two men are also not afraid of death.

The officials were anxious and uncomfortable, but they couldn't let them die, so they were more scruples about many methods.

Hongchen thought for a moment and said directly: "I'll talk to Mrs. Cai." ”

The officials were actually very unhappy to let the lord of the county go to prison.

This place is very dirty and disgusting, she is a delicate and noble girl, and she can go in and pay it back! But no one dared to stop it.

The cell boss was still clever, took the first step to take the prisoner out, led him to the yamen guest room, and rinsed her as quickly as possible, which made Cao Pozi appear in front of Hongchen's eyes.

Now the weather is so cold, although it is not winter, but the cold wind in autumn is also very fatal, Cai Pozi is a lot older, let people use cold water to pour down their faces, a face is frozen hot and painful, this time there is no need to pretend, but also dizzy, ** more. (To be continued.) )
