In the early morning of the next day, the three old men went to Bailuzhou for morning exercises, and not long after they went out, Han Xiaoyu, who was full of anxiety, came to him, and Zhu Hui and the others had not yet gotten up.

Xu Ajiao called them up, and Zhu Hui asked curiously, "How did you find here?" ”

Han Xiaoyu complained: "The two of you don't go home at night, and you don't say a word to your family, Sister Ling'er and I went to Qixia Temple late at night, and just came back, I heard that the master was lecturing in the Eagle Peak Temple, so I hurriedly ran to take a look." Did you know? The two sisters, Wanxi and Qingyang, are also heartbroken for you! ”

At this time, Song He was happy and asked, "Sister Xiaoyu, have you ever heard what happened in Cuihualou last night?" ”

"Of course I know, if not, I wouldn't have gone to Qixia Temple late at night to find you."

"Did Huang Bingwen make a big move last night?" Zhu Hui asked.

"It is said that there are Japanese robbers on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and the people of Hai have sent officers and soldiers to surround Cuihualou on this ground, and after Huang Bingwen heard the news, he sent the soldiers of Dongchang to take the lead, and caught two black-clothed Japanese robbers from Cuihualou, beat them to death, and escorted them into three alleys outside the Xi'an Gate......"

Before Han Xiaoyu finished speaking, Zhang Gou'er's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Sister, slow down, what are you talking about?" Escorted the two black-clothed robbers to the three alleys? ”

"Yes, according to outside legends, it was these two would-be robbers who assassinated Huang Bingwen the day before yesterday, and they escaped from the three alleys with their art of escaping, and last night they ran to the bank of the Qinhuai River to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and they also stole a girl from Cuihualou......"

Listening to Han Xiaoyu like telling a story, Zhu Hui and Song He patted Zhang Gou'er on the shoulder, and the three of them laughed back and forth......

So, Song He pointed to Xu Ajiao, who was shy to answer, and asked with a smile: "Sister Xiaoyu, do you know who she is?" ”

Han Xiaoyu looked at this haggard girl, and saw that she had a fair complexion and good facial features, although she did not have the appearance of a closed flower and a shy moon, she could also be called a beauty, and shook her head silently.

"Xiaoyu, do you know who this young man is?" Zhu Hui then asked.

Han Xiaoyu looked at Zhang Gou'er again, and had already guessed in his heart that eight or nine were not far from ten, glared at Zhu Hui and Song He fiercely, and asked in a deep voice: "Could it be the two of you who ran to Cuihualou last night to get away?" ”

"Sister Xiaoyu, we are all righteous men and gentlemen, how can we enter that kind of place?" Song He said, pointing to Zhang Gou'er and then said: "It was this chivalrous warrior who saved this girl in Cuihualou, and was chased and killed, Brother Hui and I happened to pass by, so we reached out and drew a knife to help......"

I heard that Xu Ling'er was also in Nanjing, and suddenly remembered that she had saved Tang Jing in North Korea, and many things that happened in Nanjing must be related to Tang Jing, and after being silent for a while, Zhang Gou'er asked: "Zhu Gongzi, can you let the younger brother meet Tang Daguan?" ”

Zhu Hui hurriedly shook his head and replied, "Tang Daguan still has lingering fears about what happened to him on Iki Island, and to this day, he is still worried that the pirates will retaliate against him, so it's better not to see each other for the time being." ”

According to Zhang Gou'er's recollections, he was in Kagoshima at the time, Luo Amin fell into the water in Jinjiang Bay and was rescued by a fishing boat, whether Lin Feng sank to the bottom of the sea or not, no one can tell, in the dark, all this is related to the damn Tang Jing, I heard that he was not allowed to meet Tang Jing, Zhang Gou'er lowered his head in shame.

Han Xiaoyu Bingxue was smart, and immediately understood the origin of this dog, and her expression suddenly became nervous, and she said: "We all know that the so-called widow caught in Cuihualou yesterday is not the person Huang Bingwen wants to arrest, presumably he will not give up, I think, don't go anywhere recently, just stay here for a few days." ”

Because the Ma Wu Business Group is coming, Zhang Gou'er is in a hurry to return to Ningbo, and he has to continue to look for Lin Feng and the Luo sisters, how can he be in the mood to live here and have nothing to do? He replied: "The younger brother has an urgent matter, and he doesn't dare to stay for a long time, since this is the case, please Brother Zhu Hui and Brother Song He, come with me to Ningbo to live for a few days." ”

At this time, Zhu Hui remembered his eldest brother Wu Xiang, since he came back from the capital, Wu Lian has been clamoring to go to Ningbo and bring her brother to Nanjing, so he nodded and replied: "Brother Dog, maybe it won't be too long, I will also get a trip to Ningbo in the next place, you might as well wait a few days to go together, right?" ”

"Even so, I can't rest assured that Shopkeeper Chen is here, and now I'll go to the three alleys and pick him up." As he spoke, Zhang Gou'er wanted to leave.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Hui replied, "Brother Dog, don't be careless!" Those two Oriental businessmen were arrested by Huang Bingwen as a widow last night, and they made trouble in Nanjing City for three days. Therefore, Huang Bingwen will never let go of Chen Yuanhua and the others easily, and if you go to the three alleys now, won't you fall into the net? ”

Zhang Gou'er suddenly realized, thought about it and felt that he still had to go, and said: "Thank you brother for reminding me, Brother Ma Wu should come, I have to go back to Ningbo as soon as possible." The younger brother is incompetent, and I have not been able to hear the news of the Luo family sisters, which really makes me embarrassed and I don't know how to explain. ”

Zhu Hui was quite moved when he heard this, and praised: "Good brother is really chivalrous!" Brother doesn't hide it from you, Xu Ling'er and Guo Yi, the two sisters, saved the Luo sisters and handed them over to Brother Wen Tao, as far as I know, they are doing very well now, you don't have to worry about it in the future. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Gou'er couldn't believe his ears, his eyes widened more and more, tears flowed out, knelt down in front of Zhu Hui, and cried and said: "Uncle Lin Feng, and my father, you can look at it under the Jiuquan...... After that, he covered his face with his hands, crying so darkly and earth-shattering that everyone present couldn't help but wipe their tears.

At this moment, Zhu Hui was very calm, and let Zhang Gou'er continue to cry bitterly, but he did not persuade him.

After a while, Xu Ajiao stepped forward and persuaded: "Son, please mourn." ”

Han Xiaoyu thought of her own experience, and had deep respect for Zhang Gou'er's righteous act of rescuing Xu Ajiao, and then persuaded: "Brother Zhang is really a loyal person, please mourn, I have a proposal, I don't know if you can agree with this?" ”

After a long time, Zhang Gou'er was about to faint from crying, and his voice became smaller and quieter.

At this time, Han Xiaoyu continued: "I have a proposal, I hope that the three of you brothers can be like Liu Guanzhang Taoyuan to form a righteous union, share life and death, share weal and woe, treat each other with all sincerity, and be like brothers and sisters, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Gou'er, who was kneeling on the ground, turned around, nodded and replied, "I would like to listen to my sister." Hurriedly got up from the ground and stretched out his hand to Zhu Hui and Song He, and the three of them held each other tightly......

Han Xiaoyu said: "When the master comes back, I will put an incense case for you, and invite Lord Wang and Mr. Wu, who live here, to witness to you, and I hope that the three of you brothers will join hands to do an earth-shattering cause and leave a name in history." ”

Zhu Hui's eyes also flashed with tears, and he said: "Brother dog, there is also one thing to ask for for a brother......

"Please tell me, now I have the biggest thing on my mind, if I can help my brother, I will go to the soup and go to the fire!" Zhang Gou'er preached loudly.

"Back then, when I was suppressing bandits on Iki Island, my father Zhu Junwang, Sister Ling'er's father Xu Yihou, and Xu Kun, who was mistakenly arrested, were all on the island at the time, and later I heard that Uncle Xu was sent to Omi Kotani Castle, but my father and Xu Kun did not know where to go, may I ask Brother Gou'er, have you ever heard of them?" Zhu Hui asked with tears in his eyes.

"When it comes to these past events, the dog knows that he is wrong!" Zhang Gou'er said, knelt in front of Zhu Hui again, and then said: "For my deceased father, for the first official, and for the fourth official, please plead in front of my brother, and when I return to the East, I will do my best to rescue them all." ”

"Good brother, please get up quickly." Zhu Hui bent down, helped Zhang Gou'er up, and turned around to look, only to find Xu Ajiao fainting on the ground, crying......

Han Xiaoyu put her hand on her forehead, felt a little hot, and said, "Sister, you are sick, wait for me to prescribe medicine for you." With that, he got up and went to find pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Xu Ajiao had long heard that his father was plundered overseas by pirates, but he had not been able to confirm it, so he always had a glimmer of hope, maybe he would suddenly come back one day, just from Zhu Hui's mouth, it was confirmed that Xu Kun's life and death were uncertain, and she was suddenly frightened and overwhelmed, she took Han Xiaoyu's hand, shook her head and cried: "My hard-working father, if there is no father in this world, I will not live......

Touching the scene, Han Xiaoyuhuai also shed tears and persuaded: "Sister, do you know? I also escaped by risking my life when I was just sold into Cuihua Building. My parents were framed by traitors and died of illness on the way to the army, leaving no tomb for the night......"

Zhang Gou'er sighed and talked about his family history: "Listen to my father, back then, my family lived by the sea, because the imperial court strictly banned the sea, my grandfather dried a fishing net, was actually denounced, was arrested into the county government tortured to death, the whole family was in great trouble, forced to helpless, my father led the family to flee from the sea, was attacked by wind and waves, almost died in the belly of the fish, fortunately was rescued by the Lin family brothers, and was exiled to Ryukyu, and later, went to Akimepo. God is so unfair, what can we do with it? ”

Han Xiaoyu prescribed the prescription and handed it to Zhu Hui, at this moment, everyone was a little puzzled, Xu Ajiao, as the granddaughter of the former Shoufu University scholar, was actually abducted and trafficked to Fireworks Willow Lane, which is really incredible.

At this time, Xu Ajiao cried and shouted: "Hard-working father, you leave your daughter alone......"

In order to find out the truth, Zhu Hui asked, "May I ask if Ling Zun can be called Xu Kun?" ”

Xu Kun's reputation is not very good, since his disappearance, there have been all kinds of legends, Xu Ajiao has heard of most of them, but no matter what, for her, it is still a kind father, she doesn't want to believe that her father, who loves her so much, was kidnapped by pirates.

Finding that Xu Ajiao was only crying, Zhu Hui continued: "Gillian, don't worry, we will rescue your father." ”

Xu Ajiao stopped crying, wiped her tears and replied, "I'm going to go with you to find my father." ”

"We will send you back to your hometown, please trust us, we will definitely save your father!" Zhu Hui persuaded.

"No, I'm not going home!" Xu Ajiao's attitude is very resolute.

"Your family will be worried about you, and even if you want to go, you have to tell your family." Han Xiaoyu persuaded.

"In this world, I only have one relative, my father......"

Last year, Xu Zhang's sued Tang Jing that Zhu Hui had seen Xu Kun's two sons, and didn't know that he had such a big daughter, so he asked tentatively: "Xu Zhang's is your mother?" ”

Xu Ajiao looked very painful and replied in a low voice: "Zhang's mother is the main house, the slave family is a three-room concubine, and only my father loves me the most." ”

According to Xu Kun's age, he should be a few years older than Tang Jing, the big family has a group of wives and concubines, there is no fuss, and it is found that Gillian is much older than Xu Zhang's two sons, why is it a three-room concubine?

So, Zhu Hui then persuaded: "Your mother will still worry about you, Gillian, go home first." ”

"There is no father in the world, I have no hope, I can only resign myself to fate in the future, if you send me home, my uncle and uncle will also send me to the capital to be a concubine for the stupid son in the old mansion, the slave family is to escape the marriage, so they hid in their grandmother's house, but they were arrested by human traffickers......" Speaking of this, Xu Ajiao began to cry again.

Song He took the case and scolded angrily: "Cuihualou, this group of turtle bastards who are killing the sky, Lao Tzu will go and set fire tonight and burn the things raised by this group of bitches!" ”

Zhang Gou'er was also eager to try, and followed along: "You want to go to us together and kill this group of turtle bastards!" Although Akimepo was regarded as a pirate den, Lin Yiguan and a group of his brothers had never done such a thing of forcing good people into prostitution and losing their conscience. ”

"That's right! Our brothers thought of a piece! Zhu Hui also agreed, yes, in his opinion, Lin Yiguan and others robbed money but did not kill easily, and it was very rare to hear that they forced Liang to become prostitutes, but some women of the Japanese defeated samurai family, in order to survive, ran to Akimepu to take refuge in gold panning, even if they sold themselves, they were voluntary, and they really did not persecute them.

Finding that they were really moving, Han Xiaoyu hurriedly stopped them, and said seriously: "You must not act recklessly, after the accident in Cuihualou last night, Huang Bingwen actually mobilized the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to come to help in order to fight against the Yingtian Governor Yamen, and a large group of scoundrels echoed and fueled the troubles, according to Xu Ling'er's sister, Huang Bingwen returned to Nanjing this time, because the drunkard did not want to drink, and he was preparing to use the instability of the people of Jinling City and the rebellion of the Japanese as the crime of the Yingtian Governor Yamen, and take the opportunity to impeach Lord Hai, If you want to drive Lord Hai out of Yingtianfu, do you understand? ”

"Sister Xiaoyu is right." Xu Ajiao was also afraid that the three of them would have an accident, and then said: "It is to deal with Lord Hai, my cousin and uncle want to send me to the capital." ”

Zhu Hui asked with interest: "Gillian, did your grandfather know about marrying you to the stupid son of the old family?" ”

Xu Ajiao nodded seriously and replied sadly: "My grandmother's family was originally a tenant of the Xu family, although my mother was the first to enter the door of the Xu family, just because the door was not proper and the household was wrong, she was wronged to be the wife of the third room, and she had the most no status in the family, although I am the eldest daughter, I can only be a concubine." After my grandfather returned to his hometown, he bought a lot of land, and many small families became our tenant slaves, and many people were displaced, so they kept complaining to Hai Daren, and at the beginning, Hai Daren still left some affection for my grandfather, but my cousin and uncle were still buying land harder, and finally attracted the anger of Hai Daren......"

"Are you saying that your grandfather Xu Jie, in order to please the old man of the court, gave you to that stupid son as a concubine?" Zhu Hui continued to ask.

"Exactly, grandpa often compares himself to the tiger falling in Pingyang, and laughs at himself with the phoenix falling grass, if I marry to the capital, the two families can become good for Qin and Jin, and someone will help my grandfather restrain Lord Hai, if it still doesn't work, Lord Hai continues to oppose our Xu family, they are ready to unite their protégés and old officials, and completely drive Lord Hai out of Yingtianfu."

After listening to Xu Ajiao's words, Han Xiaoyu was very depressed and couldn't help but ask herself: "Could it be that the pillar of the country, the former cabinet chief assistant and Wenyuan Pavilion scholar, can still join forces with a scumbag like Huang Bingwen?" ”

"Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud. The old man can be a guarantee, and Xu Ge will never unite with the mad people to deal with Lord Hai, hehe......"

Before the words fell, the door was pushed open, and Wang Shizhen, who was full of red light, walked in as he spoke, and Elder Yuekong and Mr. Wu Chengen also entered the house.

After listening to Wang Shizhen's words, everyone was relieved. Seeing that Elder Yuekong was back, Xu Ajiao didn't want to go home, so she bowed to the ground: "Elder, please accept the slave maid as a disciple, I would like to be like Sister Xiaoyu, lose my hair and become a nun, I implore the master to be merciful, and the slave family is willing to serve the Buddha for the rest of his life under the green light." ”

Elder Moon Sky looked around and found that the three young men and Han Xiaoyu were all nodding their heads.

So, Han Xiaoyu stepped forward and helped Gillian up, only to hear Elder Yuekong say: "Xiaoyu, take her back to the Thousand Buddha Nunnery of Qixia Temple." ”

Xu Ajiao clasped her hands together and read, "Amitabha, thank you, elder, thank you, Sister Xiaoyu!" ”

Then, about Zhu Hui, Song He and Zhang Gou'er's marriage to Jin Lan, Han Xiaoyu told the three elders.

Wu Chengen praised with satisfaction: "It is really providential for Elder Moon Sky to cross to Fusang and cross the ocean again, to the new continent on the other side of the ocean, and spread the civilization of my Chinese Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, thanks to the assistance of the three little brothers. ”

Wang Shizhen laughed loudly and said: "Congratulations to the elder for accepting three disciples, I will go to the East Garden to arrange the incense table, prepare a banquet, and let these three little brothers follow Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan to form a righteous alliance, and in the future, they will work with one heart and one mind, and assist Elder Yuekong to go to sea and travel far away." ”

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, good, good, good......"
