Chapter 365: The Situation
Su Zhenzhen on the other side knew about this, Gao Qiuye's behavior poked her bulging heart, thinking that she would have to stay by Wei Han's side for a while, she couldn't help but feel a little pimple in her heart, but she was also happy that Wei Han was willing to confess to herself, and finally a smile appeared on her face.
The county lord saw that Su Zhenzhen was suddenly smiling, so he asked her what was wrong, Su Zhenzhen's state these days, she saw it in her eyes, and now seeing a relaxed smile on her face, the county lord himself was a little relieved.
Su Zhenzhen made the matter clear to the county lord, and the county lord said that Su Zhenzhen was stupid.
"Gao Qiuye, that person must have done it on purpose." The county lord shook his head, looking like he hated iron but not steel, "The next time we see her, let's just not give her a good look, you have to put on the momentum of your lady of the dart game." He patted Su Zhenzhen's shoulder, and the county lord said.
Su Zhenzhen couldn't help laughing, isn't she the lady of the dart game still known to everyone? But Gao Qiuye didn't care about this at all, otherwise he wouldn't have chased Wei Han.
"Whatever you laugh at, I'm thinking about you, you see you're stupid." The county lord pointed to Su Zhenzhen's nose and moved Wei's lips.
"Of course I know you're doing it for my good." To tell the truth, whether it is in the capital or here, only the county lord can really understand her, Su Zhenzhen motioned to the county lord to put his finger down, and his shoulder was against the person next to him.
"What are you two whispering?" The Ninth Princess, who was walking in front, turned her head and looked at Su Zhenzhen and the county lord with a curious expression.
"Between adults." The county lord raised his eyebrows and took Su Zhenzhen's arm with one hand.
The ninth princess pouted, "I'm not small, okay?" After saying this, he turned his head and continued to chat with Concubine Xian, what he had seen and heard along the way.
Su Zhenzhen and the county lord looked at the appearance of the ninth princess, and they both felt strange and cute.
"This Wei Han too, when Gao Qiuye caught up with him, he should have sent someone to send Gao Qiuye back, and he couldn't give her a chance." After eating and walking for a while, the county lord couldn't help but yawn, the sun fell on his eyelashes, and he was still sleepy.
Su Zhenzhen smiled again, "Gao Qiuye is not such a good person......"
Wei Han's kindness and sense of responsibility have always touched Su Zhenzhen, which is also what Su Zhenzhen likes about Wei Han, thinking of this, the knot in her heart seems to have become a little smaller.
In fact, since following the emperor's private visit, Su Zhenzhen has seen all kinds of customs, especially simple villages and towns, the original poetry can exist in people's hearts for a long time, and it can also be seen with your own eyes, whether it is the sunset, or the red walls and green tiles, the bustling hustle and bustle, it is a kind of style.
It's just that the world is big, and she has seen a lot, but she is still trapped in a love word, thinking about how ordinary and precious love in the world is.
The group was on their way to Gusu.
After the county lord came, he often walked with Su Zhenzhen, and the two of them took the nine princesses, laughing and playing all the way, so lively, the emperor and the concubine listened to them laugh, and the fatigue and exhaustion of the road were all gone.
"The carriage is finally here! I'm tired of laughing! ”
After getting into the carriage, the county lord yawned again, leaned against the window, and blew the breeze.
"Let's sleep for a while, we are still some distance away from Gusu." Su Zhenzhen said, and after hearing this, the county lord felt that it made sense, so he closed his eyes.
The carriage went for several miles, passing through a place, and found that there was no one on the street, which was not large, and when it passed by the residents' houses, it was also lonely, and the doors and windows of each house were basically closed, and the dust on the road fell to the ground, as if it had not been cleaned for a long time, and everyone felt strange when they saw this, and when they went further, they saw that many people were doing coolies.
It was near the bazaar, and the labor force was mainly men, young and strong, old enough to be hunched on their backs, all busy, panting, and the air seemed to be soaked with sweat, and there were also many women, wearing sweat towels, frowning, just caring about keeping their heads down and doing things.
In the midst of the busy coolies, a few men sat in the shade with leaves in their mouths, whips in their hands, and buckets of water beside them, who seemed to be overseers.
The emperor raised his hand and signaled the people behind him to stop, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the county lord fell forward all of a sudden, fortunately Su Zhenzhen's hands were quick.
"What's wrong...... Is it there? Rubbing his eyes, the county lord looked at Su Zhenzhen in a daze, and when he saw Su Zhenzhen shaking his head, he decided to go out to have a look together.
"You go and find out what's going on." The emperor didn't understand how this good place could become like this, so he ordered his entourage to investigate.
"Why are those people doing coolies? It's miserable. The ninth princess asked, she saw that some people were still stained with blood, and couldn't help but look away, as well as those few overseers, all of them had fierce faces, and Concubine Xian told the ninth princess that the emperor had sent someone to investigate the situation.
While everyone waited, an overseer was whipping the old man.
The old man was dressed in tatters, his shoes had been worn to the ground, the whip fell mercilessly on his body, and the sunlight slipped into one scar after another, turning into blood and dripping on the ground.
"What's the matter, I don't have the strength, I haven't eaten enough or haven't eaten at all!" The overseer was rude, pushing the old man forward, and the whip in his hand did not stop, "Hurry up, do a job and grind, don't eat dinner if you can't finish it!" ”
"I don't know what I want you to do." Another whip fell fiercely, and the old man lay directly on the ground, and the overseer pressed the old man's head, picked up a water ladle and poured water on the old man's head, and the soil and sand on the ground mixed into the old man's mouth, a little muddy, "Aren't you full?" Then eat more of these......"
When he got angry, the overseer let go, snorted coldly, and glanced faintly at the old man who was still lying on the ground, "Get up for me, don't think about resting." ”
The old man was gray-haired, and he struggled to get up, pushing the cart loaded with stones step by step, stumbling, and he could not cry, and the tears had long since entered the ground with the dirt and sand, and there was no room for resistance, and the expression of words at this time was weak.
The overseer was brutal, the sun was not hot, but his face was covered with sweat, his tattered clothes were soaked with sweat, the air was filled with the smell of blood and sweat, and the old man's mouth was shriveled and slightly open, and it was white, which only made people feel that his throat was a desert, dry and without grass.
The old man looked like he was in rags, but under the whipping of the overseer, his clothes had already become strips, and his body was even more fleshy and bloody
The county lord found the old man first, and he couldn't bear to see the old man suffering there, so he stepped forward and snatched the whip from the overseer's hand, and whipped the overseer with his backhand, and this whip was very powerful.
The overseer was stunned by this sudden whip, and was stunned for a while before he reacted, and when he saw a woman from the county lord's house, he was even more confident, and he propped up and shouted: "Why are you, you have eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and you dare to beat me!" ”
Not to be outdone, the county lord whipped the overseer a few more times, "Why don't you dare to fight, it's a person like you who bullies the weak and fears the hard, you see that if I don't fight, you are looking for teeth all over the ground!" ”
The overseer originally wanted to take the whip back, but the county lord was agile and agile, and he didn't take it back after grabbing it several times, but was whipped a few more times by the county lord.
The overseer was frightened by the county lord's momentum, and thought that this overseer was a powerful character, but he didn't expect to be so timid and afraid, seeing that the county lord's whip was about to attack again, he only cared about protecting his fat body and ran around, and shouted in his mouth: "Oops! Help, murder! Beat the common people in broad daylight! Oops hey! It hurts me! ”
At this time, the emperor and his party stood up at the right time, and seeing that the county lord had almost taught the overseer a lesson, the emperor waved his hand to the county lord, and pretended to be angry, "Okay, Changping, come back." He threw away the whip, and what kind of system did a lord of the county take the whip? ”
Concubine Xian Niangniang slowly took the county lord's hand, "Oops! County Lord, why are you beating this person, doesn't this hurt your hand, you are a golden branch and jade leaf, teaching this little minion a lesson and staining our royal face, this person is not worth your trouble. ”
After speaking, he wiped the county lord's hand with a handkerchief, as if he was afraid that the county lord's hand would be injured.
After this commotion just now, everyone present quieted down, and at this time, a few more people came out of the back house, led by an arrogant and domineering look, dressed in the golden brocade clothes, as if they had brought all the gold in the family with them.
The man swept over everyone present with his two glowing rat eyes, "What are you all doing, stop and do something!" Don't hurry up and get to work! As he spoke, he took the whip and whipped the coolie next to him, "You guys are lazy again, do you want to taste the whip stained with chili water!" ”
The overseer saw that the person behind him who was supporting him came out, ran straight to the man, and hugged the man's thigh, "Boss, these people just whipped me with a whip!" He also showed the blood stains on his body to this person, "Boss, look at it, you have to make the decision for me!" ”
The person who was shouting at the boss pushed the overseer away and glanced at him with disgust, "Okay, okay, I know, don't come to disgust me!" ”
The man glanced in the direction of the county lord and pointed at the county lord, "It's you, beat my overseer, and delay the work of my subordinates, what do you want to do!" Believe it or not, I'm looking for my uncle to cure your sins! ”
This man said that it was not enough, and ordered his subordinates to surround the emperor and his party, snatched the whip from the overseer's hand and whipped it to the ground, "Come on, take them down for me, and see if I can't treat you well!" ”
Seeing that the leader was so rampant, the county lord was even more furious in his heart, and took the guard's matching sword, and rushed towards the group with only the scabbard.
The group of people saw that the county lord was alone, and their eyes were even more contemptuous, "Heh! Just a little girl, you dare to do it with us. ”
After that, he waved his hand at the people behind him, "Come on!" Give it to me! Take this little girl down for me, remember not to hurt this woman, although her temper is hot, but her appearance is good, hahahaha! ”
"Yes! Boss! ”
The leader nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the county lord rather obscenely, "Little lady, when I take you down, I will take you back to the house to serve well, haha!" ”
When the emperor heard these obscene words, his brows furrowed, and Concubine Xian hurriedly stepped forward to appease him.
When the county lord heard this vulgar remark, he slashed at the bastard with a sword scabbard, "You villain, you dare to attack the idea of this palace!" I'm going to show you how you can bear it! ”
"Guard, be cautious and protect the county lord for me, don't let Changping get hurt!" "Yes! Master! ”
The guards slowly surrounded everyone present, and those few people patronized and quibbled with the county lord but did not notice.
The county lord's martial arts were taught by someone in the palace to defend herself, and those few seemed to be those who spent all day drinking, and their bodies were very empty, so how could they be the opponents of the county lord.
The county lord took the scabbard and slashed at the leader a few times, and the man took the whip and waved it at the county lord, but he didn't even touch the hem of the county lord's clothes, but the buttons of his clothes were knocked off a few by the county lord, and the golden crown on his head was also beaten down by the county lord.
At this time, this person was wearing a cloak and his clothes were open, and there were a few blood marks on his body, which looked embarrassed.
"Why are you still stunned there! Don't you take that woman down for me! The evil leader shouted at the men while protecting his body, "Hurry up! Call Lang Zhong for me, it hurts to death! ”
