Chapter 724: The Invisible Chain
"Miss Xiuzhu, what are you good for me to tell you?"
Standing alone in front of Wang Fulin, without Chen Bingchang, a person who can be trusted and relied on, in all fairness, Xiuzhu's heart is full of uneasiness. Judging from her pitiful experience of leaving Luo Bangshan, from the point that Wang Fulin turned out to be an official of the imperial court, the other party is still a strange person who can't see through it at all. And this kind of evaluation can also be used on Xiaobei and Bizhu's master and servant, at least, in the days she has been wandering, she has never seen a woman who knows martial arts, whether it is her grandmother's narration, or what she sees with her own eyes, or what she hears with her own ears, she only knows that the ladies of rich and noble families are all at home, and they can't even walk.
So, she wisely chose to remain silent. But her silence does not mean that Wang Fulin will let her go like this.
"You are a Yaomin from Luopanshan, presumably when you met Chen Bingchang in Guangzhou City before, and later when you met Lu Gongzi and Mr. Zheng in Chaozhou Mansion, you used a fake road guide, just relying on Yaomin and a fake road guide, it is enough for you to go to prison, not to mention that you once claimed to be Lin Daoqian's daughter. Therefore, Lu Gongzi entrusted you to my wife, and I agreed, not only to take you in and give you a temporary place to live, but also to guard you. Now that you ran away by yourself, you actually pulled Chen Bingchang into the water, do you know that he had asked to quit Lianxi Academy in order to save you before? ”
"I ......" Since Chen Bingchang took over everything in front of people before the fight, Xiuzhu's mood has not calmed down, and at this time, Wang Fulin brought up the old things again, and her feelings of shame and guilt deepened. Hence the word "I" after that. She couldn't say a word again. The braided white teeth had bitten out the red lips with blood.
"You should know his family background very well, so he is doing things with me, which is equivalent to shackling himself as a secretary and using it to supplement his eldest brother who continues to study in Lianxi Academy. But now......" Wang Fulin suddenly paused and said with a sneer, "I don't want him anymore!" ”
Xiaobei, who was behind the screen, heard this, and muttered about Wang Fulin's unprofessional acting skills this time. However. Facts have proved that for Xiuzhu, who is not familiar with the world, Wang Fulin's acting skills are completely enough. Because, the next moment, she heard Xiuzhu shouting anxiously: "You can't do this!" Chen Bingchang is talking nonsense, I didn't tell him at all, I wanted to run away by myself, I haven't seen him for many days, you can't blame him! ”
For the almost incoherent yelling, Wang Fulin, who played the bad guy to the end, laughed angrily: "You don't know if you want to come to Xiuzhu girl." In the royal law, there has always been such a thing as sitting together? Let's be honest. If he hadn't known you and was willing to vouch for you, based on what Mr. Lu and Mr. Zheng learned when they rescued you, would you think that Mrs. Ping would be able to stay here peacefully instead of being in prison? Therefore, if you make a mistake, it is his fault whether he said it before, whether it is true or not, he has to be responsible. ”
"You...... You're so unreasonable! "Xiuzhu has also met bad people, but those are not long after the initial contact, and they immediately show their hideous faces, where is there a person like Wang Fulin, except for some times it is strange, most of the time it is kind and kind, but suddenly turns his face like this and does not recognize people? She was almost so anxious that she burst into tears, and said without thinking: "As long as you don't drive Chen Bingchang away, it's okay to put me in prison, it's all my fault anyway!" ”
Bang –
The door was slammed open all of a sudden, and who else rushed into the house in embarrassment except Chen Bingchang? The young Xiucai's face was not so much panicked as nervous, and when he rushed to the front and back of Xiuzhu, he directly gritted his teeth and knelt down. However, before his knees could touch the ground, a thud was heard. Realizing that it was Wang Fulin who slapped the armrest hard, his movements suddenly stiffened. And it was this little hesitation, Xiuzhu beside him actually grabbed his arm and pulled him up.
"It's my fault, and it's me who wants to kneel, why are you running in?"
"But ......"
"Nothing!"
Xiuzhu took out the momentum that had always overwhelmed Chen Bingchang, and glared at him silently, and then knelt down straight, but stubbornly raised his head: "One person does things and one person does it, and no one else has to carry the black pot!" ”
Chen Bingchang saw that Wang Fulin's face seemed to have turned black into the bottom of the pot, since he met Wang Fulin, even when he went to Haojing, he seemed to have never seen the other party so angry, and he was immediately anxious, but he no longer dared to kneel down casually and beg for help. Because he knew very well that Wang Fulin's action of pounding the handrail just now had only one meaning, that is, there was gold under the man's knees. Wang Fulin once said to him that kneeling and bowing can be to show respect for the elders and Venerables, to be grateful to the benefactor, or to repent of sins, but not to intercede! If you ask for mercy, you have to come up with a convincing reason!
However, standing beside Xiuzhu, he was so distraught that he didn't think of any reason before he heard Wang Fulin speak: "I'm going to Chaozhou Mansion these days, Xiaobei also has her business, and I don't have time to take care of a girl who wants to run all day long!" Since you want to go to prison, Chen Bingchang, if you send her to the Guangzhou Mansion, I will not blame you for your past! “
What kind of place is the government prison, of course Chen Bingchang doesn't know, but if he doesn't know, he will imagine, how can Xiuzhu go to that kind of place where dirt and dirt are hidden? And he keenly noticed that Wang Fulin mentioned that he was going to Chaozhou Mansion, and he didn't care about surprise and surprise, he only felt an idea. He didn't care about Xiuzhu's reaction, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Xiuzhu, she has been to Chaozhou Mansion, and this time she sneaked out, in fact, she also wanted to go to Chaozhou Mansion to find out Lin Daoqian's whereabouts, and asked Wang Ye to take her with her!" She can not only take care of herself, but also take care of her daily life, and she can also do martial arts, which will never become a burden, but a help! ”
Xiuzhu was already stunned by Chen Bingchang's words, and when she realized what the news Wang Fulin had just revealed represented, and what Chen Bingchang's suggestion represented, she was like grabbing a life-saving straw that fell from the sky: "Master Wang, take me to Chaozhou Mansion, I am willing to do anything!" ”
Wang Fulin would agree so gently and skillfully. The attitude is unusually tough: "Jokes. You're doing your own thing in Guangzhou. Love is as good as it is, in case you arrive at Chaozhou Mansion, there is really news of Lin Daoqian, and you suddenly disappear without a trace, wouldn't it ruin my overall plan? Chen Bingchang, if you say more, don't blame me for not being in love! ”
Xiao Bei, who was behind the screen, supported his forehead with his hand, thinking that Wang Fulin was really completely dressed up in black face this time. In this way, if you want to go out and play a white face, I am afraid that you can make others grateful to you with just a few words, but unfortunately you don't need the role of white face this time. Therefore, she still held herself back and did not show up, but decided to continue watching the excitement.
After all, from knowing Wang Fulin to marrying him, except for the incident of being kidnapped by Taihu thieves in Yamen, Shexian County, Wang Fulin pretended to be stupid. has pretended to be weak and talented in front of Boss Ge and the others, but she has never seen Wang Fulin act like this in front of her own people.
And whether it's Chen Bingchang or not. Xiuzhu or not, in the face of Wang Fulin's tough statement, it was naturally impossible to calm down, but the response of the two was completely different. Although the former's face turned pale, he still tried his best to persuade Wang Fulin, and seemed to have ignored Wang Fulin's warning. And the latter was after Chen Bingchang's sweaty persuasion was fruitless, only in exchange for Wang Fulin's cold silence, he suddenly said: "As long as you can let me go to Chaozhou Mansion with me, I will listen to Wang Ye and you for everything!" If I do anything drastic, I'll die for it! ”
"Xiuzhu!" Chen Bingchang's color changed in horror, seeing Wang Fulin squinting his eyes, he still didn't seem to want to believe it, he only felt an impulse in his heart, and he actually said, "If Xiuzhu really does something wrong again, then I will bear the consequences." I believe that she will definitely listen to Wang Ye's words, and it will not be bad! ”
Xiuzhu, who had already bitten her lips with several blood marks, raised her head in a trance, and saw Chen Bingchang's resolute face, she only felt sad and guilty, but she couldn't open her mouth to refuse his kind promise. Counting the first life-saving grace but not saying goodbye, plus this time today, she has already owed Chen Bingchang two great favors, and it will be difficult to repay it in this life. Although she was born in Luo Panshan and had the blood of the Yao people, after the death of her grandmother, her illegitimate daughter had been coldly regarded in her hometown and had no worries, so she had secretly made up her mind in her heart at this moment.
And when she was expecting Wang Fulin to agree, but she didn't dare to echo Chen Bingchang's words, and her mood was extremely complicated, she finally waited for an answer that made her ecstatic.
"Well, it's up to you to vouch for her again." Wang Fulin stared at Chen Bingchang for a long time, and finally said word by word, "I only hope that you won't regret it when the time comes." ”
Although he wanted to puff up his chest and say that he would never regret it, in the face of Wang Fulin's meaningful gaze, Chen Bingchang didn't know that his impulsiveness might not bring a good evaluation, so he immediately lowered his head. He didn't even know how he got out of the house in a daze, and even when Xiuzhu chased him out and said thank you, he was not as happy as he expected, but after being silent for a while, he whispered to the girl who had been deeply rooted in his heart after he recognized his daughter for the first time: "Be careful after you go, you must not do it yourself, and ......"
"Do you want me to swear?" Xiuzhu looked at Chen Bingchang's eyes with unprecedented serious eyes, as if she wanted to engrave him in her heart, "I won't forget, it was you who promised me so sincerely, even if it was for you, I would definitely not run around again!" When I come back and repay Mrs. Wang's debts, I will go to be a girl for you! ”
"Huh?" Chen Bingchang was completely stupid, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then stammered, "What did you say?" ”
"I have no money, and I don't have anything else to repay your kindness, so of course I have to repay you with myself." Xiuzhu didn't notice at all, Chen Bingchang's obviously confused expression and mood, and said to herself, "Before, Mr. Lu Gongzi and Mr. Zheng entrusted me out, and when Mrs. Wang took me in, didn't she also let me be a girl to compensate for the expenses they spent after saving me?" In this way, I owe you more, I have heard others sing before, didn't I still sell my body to bury my father? ”
"No, no, no!" Chen Bingchang hurriedly shook his head desperately, but before he could explain clearly, he only heard Xiuzhu ask very abruptly.
"By the way, can you give me back that arm first?" Seeing Chen Bingchang's surprised and hesitant expression, Xiuzhu hurriedly said, "When I come back in the future, I will return it to you." But this time I brought it useful, maybe, I went to the Chaozhou Mansion this time, and I was able to find my father who saved my mother, but left her? ”
"Okay." Realizing what Xiuzhu meant, Chen Bingchang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly nodded and said, "I'll lock the things in the secret compartment at the head of the bed, and I'll bring them to you when I get back." ”
"Hmm." Xiuzhu showed a hint of a smile, and when she raised her hand and unnaturally brushed the strands of hair around her ear, she suddenly whispered, "Also, thank you." ”
Xiaobei in the house had already come out, and seeing Wang Fulin standing at the door with his hands in his hands, with an upright expression of eavesdropping and peeping, she finally couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "You are really addicted to matchmaking." ”
"I just want to tie an iron ball called Chen Bingchang to that girl's feet, otherwise, if she arrives in Chaozhou Mansion, I instruct her not to move, wouldn't it be another burden? Besides, if she runs away, where will I get the people to find her? The words in his mouth were righteous and awe-inspiring, but Wang Fulin had a lively expression on his face, "Maybe after this time, whether it is impulsive or falling in love with each other, they should see their hearts clearly." ”
Xiaobei didn't want to comment on Wang Fulin's bad taste, and after pursing his lips, he changed the topic and said: "I heard that the rule of pirates is that there are no women on the ship, otherwise it will be bad luck to go to sea. ”
"I've thought of your concerns for a long time. Don't worry, I haven't gotten to that point yet. Since Ling Yunyi's letter was sent to the procuratorate, I made up my mind to go to the Chaozhou Mansion in person, and Du Maode has advised me a lot, of course, I will not rush on any pirate ship. The person recommended by Senior Brother Lu has a good vision, even if he has been trapped in pirates, he still has excellent character. This time, I will take him, leaving Xu Danwang and Chen Bingchang in the procuratorate. Before leaving, I want to see Master Pan, you can arrange it for me. ”
"That's easy, of course. However, I suggest you wait two days. Xiaobei saw that Wang Fulin was looking at her with some confusion, so she smiled slyly and said, "In just these two days, there should be unexpected surprises." ”
With those pearls, agate gems and other things brought by Qiu Sihai, he exchanged a sufficient amount of gold from Master Pan, and distributed them evenly into the bags of everyone accompanying him this time, Wang Fulin was worried that the luggage this time was a little too heavy, and the night before leaving, he saw a group of dusty visitors in Xiaobei.
It was Qi Liang who led it, a total of five former Qi Jiguang's personal soldiers! In addition, there are still twelve veterans of the Zhejiang army, which suddenly made his manpower from overstretched to relatively abundant! At that moment, he decided to leave the veterans of the Zhejiang army to Xiaobei, and he took the Qi family army on the road, you know, many officers along the coast of Guangdong and Fujian are from the anti-Japanese army of the year, and this group of people is simply a great help!
