Saibei grassland, Karaqin camp.

Cao Hao returned to the station, and wanted to send her to the tent where she was, but was politely refused. It's late at night, and there are differences between men and women, so we still have to have scruples. Cao Hao had no choice but to watch Wen Xiu limp away.

took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was almost Haizheng (10 o'clock in the evening), Cao Hao walked to the tent of the guard camp, but he was thinking about the tragedy that happened by the river just now. The killing, the dismemberment of the corpse, and the whistle seem to have been planned for a long time. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, how could the son of Wuliji provoke such a vicious enemy?

When he arrived at the guard camp, the sixteenth elder brother stood in front of Cao Hao's tent with a smile, and Xiao Man stood behind him with a cloak and a little anxious. Zhao Feng, the personal little eunuch of the sixteenth elder brother, stood aside with a glass lantern.

This little sixteen, I don't know what's weird, Cao Hao pondered in his heart, Brother Sixteen saw that Cao Hao was just coming back alone, his face was a little strange, he looked behind him for a long time, and finally asked, "Why did you come back by yourself?" ”

Cao Hao listened strangely, could it be that he couldn't ask two people to come back?

Seeing Cao Hao's expression, the sixteenth elder brother said suspiciously: "I just heard that you came back with a woman on your back, isn't it Wu Yana?" ”

"Uyuna?" Cao Hao was puzzled: "Which Wu Yuena, how could the Sixteenth Master think that she is with me?" ”

The sixteenth elder brother was speechless for a while, and Xiao Man muttered in a low voice beside him: "The sixteenth master heard that the master went to the river, and he didn't let Xiao Man go over, but told Wu Yue Nagege!" ”

Only then did Cao Hao remember who Wu Yuena was, the daughter of Karkarn and Beizi, and was one of his suitors. Wu Yana went to the river to find herself, and Cao Hao's heart sank when she thought of this.

The sixteenth elder brother said with curiosity on his face: "Since you are not with Wu Yana, who is the person you just carried on your back?" Which Miss Gege is there? As he spoke, he looked Cao Hao up and down, looking a little weird.

Because it was late at night, Cao Hao was afraid of disturbing everyone's rest, so he asked the sixteenth elder brother to whisper. The sixteenth elder brother rolled his eyes: "Heshan, they are on duty at night, and they won't be able to come back until dawn, didn't I tell you at dinner?" ”

Cao Hao saw that the sixteenth elder brother looked a little annoyed, thinking about everything before and after dinner, it seemed that he wanted to arrange a woman for himself. A big fart child has a lot of eyes. However, that Wu said Nagege, Cao Hao said with a straight face: "I didn't see her just now, did you send someone over to ask, if a little girl misses a little, she will suffer!" ”

The sixteenth elder brother listened to Cao Hao's serious words and asked Zhao Feng to go to Wu Yuena to ask.

Cao Hao was almost sober, but the smell of alcohol was still uncomfortable, and he went into the tent to wipe his face and change clothes.

The sixteenth elder brother followed in, and asked with a smile: "Since it is not Wu Yana who you carried back, who is it?" Don't hurry up and recruit it yet! ”

Cao Hao wiped his face, feeling much more comfortable, and looked at the sixteenth elder brother looking at him with a wicked smile on his face, figuring out his attempt to pour himself wine at night. I don't know how these sixteen guessed that Cao Hao is still a virgin, and recently he wanted him to "shi", it seems that if Cao Hao is really drunk at night, maybe two Mongolian chicks will be arranged in this tent. Think about the people at this time, they are really precocious, although sixteen is only fourteen, but there are already two people in the room. Because sixteen is still young, he didn't give any name, so he waited as a personal palace maid, and this time he also followed outside the plug. Cao Hao has met twice, both of them are fourteen or five little girls.

"It's just a chance encounter, that girl twisted her foot!" Cao Hao was impatient with the sixteenth elder brother's questioning, and replied casually.

The sixteenth elder brother was very dissatisfied with this answer: "Then why did you meet you, is it like Wu Yana, which Miss Gege is obsessed with you?" ”

While the two were talking, Zhao Feng came back from Wu Yuena and said with a smile: "Master, Cao Ye, Wu Yue Na Gege is just playing the gong over there!" ”

"Oh!" The sixteenth elder brother asked, "What's the matter, she didn't go to the river?" ”

Zhao Feng replied with a smile: "I heard that I went, but I met an acquaintance not long after leaving the camp, and I turned back!" Who is that acquaintance, you can't think of it! ”

The sixteenth elder brother is a lively person, and when he heard that Wu Yuena was doing a good show, he listened to the following, but he didn't expect Zhao Feng to say half a word, and immediately kicked him with a smile: "Dare to sell the guanzi with the master, don't say it quickly!" ”

Zhao Feng pretended to rub his buttocks, and then said from the beginning. It turned out that Wu Yuna went to the river to look for Cao Hao, and after walking for a long time, she met a pair of wild mandarin ducks, and the sound was familiar, but she didn't expect it to be her Amar and Beizi and her maid. Seeing that her Ama was behind her, Wu Yuna did not have the slightest awareness of the Venerable, and immediately made a fuss. En and Beizi fled, and the maid was dragged back to the tent by Uyuna.

When Zhao Feng went, Wu Yuena was using the excuse that the jewelry was lost, and ordered someone to whip the maid fiercely, but no one persuaded her, and finally refused to give up after beating her to death.

Zhao Feng saw that the expressions of the other people in the tent flickered, and Wu Yuena was really ruthless, of course she didn't believe in the "stealing" rhetoric, and after she came out, she quietly inquired about it, and only then did she know the reason.

Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother listened to it, and they had their own feelings. On the one hand, Cao Hao was glad that Wu Yuena did not go to the river, and on the other hand, she thought of Wenxiu from her beating the maid. In this patriarchal society, En and Beizi, as the prince of the country, want the body of a maid, where is there a reason to refuse. Uyina whipped the maid only to get angry, and in the eyes of these Mongol princes and nobles, the slave was really not a human being.

The sixteenth elder brother shook his head: "Tsk, look away." Although I had heard that Enhe Fujin was a famous jealous woman, Wu Yuena said that she acted gently, and thought that she was not like her mother, but she didn't expect it to be such a temper. In this way, it's a blessing that you didn't get involved with her! ”

Cao Hao thought about helping Wen Xiu redeem herself, and asked the sixteenth elder brother: "If you want to help a female slave redeem herself, how should you do it?" ”

"Redemption?" The sixteenth elder brother looked at Cao Hao curiously: "You treat this place as a guanli, where is there a ransom on the grassland!" The slaves here are all sold, life and death are controlled by the master, unless the master's grace is gone, there is no possibility of breaking out of the slave family! Speaking of this, he realized a little, looked at Cao Hao and said, "The one you carried back just now was a slave girl?" ”

Cao Hao nodded, and the sixteenth elder brother said with a smile: "I finally saw you enlightened, what kind of flower and moon appearance you are, let us Cao Ye be tempted, tell me whose family it is, what is the name, Ming'er, I helped you come, and you must be fulfilled!" ”

"Called...... Po Le is a low-class maid of Tanag! Cao Hao originally wanted to say "Wenxiu", but thinking about his identity, it is estimated that this Han name is not known.

The sixteenth elder brother nodded: "Po Hule, I wrote it down, and I will ask for it tomorrow." Tana is beating up on my brown horse's idea, and she'll do it! ”

Late at night, the sixteenth elder brother snorted twice and took Zhao Feng back to his sleeping tent to settle down.

Xiao Man brought up the sobering soup, and Cao Hao drank most of the bowl before lying down, but he couldn't sleep for a long time. Tonight is not the first time he has seen a murder scene, after being abducted to Hangzhou, he has also seen those disobedient children beaten to death, but it is far less shocking than tonight. Maybe it was because I was on the verge of death back then, and I didn't think there was any horror in death; Tonight I not only witnessed a homicide, but also heard about another torture. The so-called Great Qing Law is just a decoration for these privileged classes.

Tossing and turning, it was not until dawn that several Heshan who were sleeping in the same tent came back from duty, and Cao Hao fell asleep.

When Cao Hao woke up again, it was already noon, and after Fang finished grooming, Zhao Feng came over to pass the word, saying that the sixteenth elder brother was invited.

It is estimated that Wen Xiu's affairs have been done almost well, and how to place her at that time, if she really can't do it, she will have to bother the sixteenth elder brother again. Cao Hao thought and followed Zhao Feng over.

When the sixteenth elder brother saw Cao Hao, his face was full of shame: "Cao Hao, I got up late, I didn't expect Tana to follow him Ama back to Bahrain early in the morning, and the maids and servants also brought it!" I heard that Princess Rongxian was sick, and their father and daughter rushed back to take care of it! ”

The matter of helping Wen Xiu redeem himself is so unfinished. Cao Hao secretly remembered in his heart that if Tanagge did not come back before the holy drive returned to Beijing, then he would find a way to go to Bahrain.

*

For the next few days, the holy driver remained in Karaqin.

When the news of the disappearance of the prince of Uligi came, various speculations began to arise. When the prince's mount is found, the life and death of the prince are a mystery. Among the various rumors, the crown prince's revenge theory prevailed. The crown prince once wanted to give Sangege to the prince of Wuliji, but was politely rejected by the prince of Wuliji, because he had a deep relationship with his childhood sweetheart's cousin and had a white head appointment. This time, not only did the prince of Ulligi disappear, but his cousin also disappeared at the same time, and no one saw the two of them again after the night of the sacrifice.

The dignified prince of Mongolia has ended up in a situation where he doesn't know life and death, and the crown prince is involved, how can he not let anyone guess? Even Kangxi, after knowing about this matter, asked people to investigate the matter strictly.

The prince of Uliji had bullied Sukhbaru, and the sixteenth elder brother had no good impression of him, but when he heard the so-called crown prince's revenge, he pondered for a long time.

Even if he lost face because of his refusal to kiss, he couldn't take revenge like this, Cao Hao didn't believe in this rumor. Although there was a turmoil, the crown prince was personally taught by Emperor Kangxi after all, how could he act like this? If you want to take revenge, waiting for the throne to become the emperor is just a matter of one sentence, and you need to spend this thought.

But what if it wasn't the prince's doing? With this rumor, as long as half of the people believe that the prince will repay him, the person behind the scenes will be considered a success. Cao Hao thought of this, and suddenly felt that this method of doing things was somewhat familiar, and the matter of Liuyin Hutong in the capital was not similar to this? They all offended the prince and were persecuted and hunted down, and the murderer pointed directly at the prince.
