After a while, the soldiers brought in a little girl, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but she was dressed in tatters, and she was very thin, obviously a child of a poor family, and she did not know how much she had suffered before the city was broken, so she would be so hungry.

There was obviously a hint of horror on her delicate face, and it seemed that she was also frightened by the momentum of the Qin Palace. You must know that in these years, most people will also get out of their bodies when they walk into the yamen, not to mention walking into this place similar to the palace, it is really a battle of teeth, and it is difficult to even walk.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to scare such a little girl, so he calmed down his momentum and deliberately put his upright sitting posture a little crooked, just such a little movement made him feel a lot more kind and less scary. But with his identity, he still didn't want to ask Du Shan and Ma Xiaosanjie about their whereabouts in person, so he glanced at Ma Zhixiong next to him and asked him to come out to speak on his behalf.

Ma Zhixiong couldn't hold it anymore, took a step forward, and said urgently to the little girl: "This girl, have you seen my sister-in-law and brother-in-law?" Where did you see them? Where are they now? Is it still safe? ”

The little girl looked up at Ma Zhixiong, and saw that his appearance was similar to Xiao who was going to insult him, but he was a little older, and immediately thought that these two people were relatives, and this big villain was going to avenge the little villain, so she was startled, shrank back, fell to the ground, and then supported the ground with her hands and retreated, until she bumped into Ma Xiaotian, and then stopped. She looked up. She swept around the soldiers and leaders gathered around the temple, thinking that these people were all coming to deal with her, and she was so frightened that she burst into tears.

Seeing this, the red lady immediately jumped three feet high, inserted herself between the little girl and Ma Zhixiong, stretched out her hand to protect the little girl behind her back, and shouted to Ma Zhixiong: "What are you yelling at?" Look what scared other girls? ”

Ma Zhixiong also felt that he was too urgent just now and had lost his dignity, so he quickly coughed lightly and said softly. Asked again.

Ma Xiaotian said, "Outside the horse." This little girl is a little mute and can't speak, and it's useless for you to ask her that. ”

"A dumb man?" Ma Zhixiong was surprised, he thought about it carefully. This little girl seems to be a little dumb. I was scared like that just now. I didn't see her open her mouth to cry for help, spare her life, or cry, she seemed to open her mouth. But he couldn't make a sound.

Immediately changed his attitude, took the portraits of Miss Ma San and Du Shan from Ma Xiaotian's hands, and held them up in front of the little girl: "Have you seen these two people?" If yes, nod, no, shake your head. ”

The little girl nodded.

Ma Zhixiong was overjoyed: "Where are they?" ”

The little girl saw that the red lady seemed to be a good person, and the faces of the people around her were kinder, and she finally became a little bolder, and stretched out her hand to the south and pointed.

Ma Zhixiong was overjoyed: "Went to the south? ”

The little girl nodded again. It turned out that at this time, the blockade of Xi'an City had been lifted, and ordinary people could already enter and leave the city. He took Miss Ma San and ran away together, but the little girl with aphasia was not related to him, and the men and women could not accept it, so he did not leave with a piece, and left her twenty taels of silver to make a living in Xi'an.

Ma Zhixiong asked again, "Are they safe?" ”

The little girl shook her head.

Ma Zhixiong was taken aback: "Injured or dead?" Raised his left hand when he was wounded, and raised his right hand when he died. ”

The little girl raised her left hand.

Ma Zhixiong hurriedly asked: "Is it a man or a woman who is injured, the man raises his left hand, and the woman raises his right hand......"

The little girl raised her left hand again.

Ma Zhixiong kept asking questions in this way, and let the little girl answer, he is indeed a shrewd and capable person, he can communicate with a mute very smoothly, it didn't take much time, and he asked the matter clearly, the little girl with aphasia pulled Ma Xiaotian to cooperate with her performance, and actually put Ma Xiaoer to insult her, Du Shan came to the rescue, and then Du Shan was stabbed, and the matter of killing Er Shao was completely acted.

Of course, she wasn't dumb before, and she lost her voice when she was scared, she couldn't act, and everyone didn't know that she could talk before, and she had always been a little mute.

Ma Zhixiong knew the cause and effect, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Unjustly...... My Ma family has such an unsuccessful descendant, it's really ...... Alas......"

When everyone heard that Er Shao was actually stabbed to death for such a reason, they all showed a strange look on their faces. Only Zhu Yuanzhang thought in his heart: This Du Shan is really a talent, he has a sense of justice, he sees things very clearly, he is a man with affection and righteousness, and when he is bullied by the wicked, he can decisively cut it off, even if he is seriously injured, he can escape from the chaotic Xi'an City with a weak woman, and he will disappear without a trace, which is really powerful......

Ma Zhixiong glanced a few times to the south and sighed, "Why did they flee? Wouldn't it be better to stay and explain it to me? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered on the side: "This Du Shan is an outsider to your Ma family after all, he killed your brother, I was afraid that you would not be able to distinguish between right and wrong, so he killed him when he was angry, so he fled far away first, and when you figured it out, there would be a day when we would meet in the future." ”

Ma Zhixiong thought about it, but it was true, when he first saw the corpse of the second young man, he was very angry, and at that time, maybe he didn't have time to listen to someone explain, so he slashed it with a knife first, and Du Shan's worries also had a certain reason.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand at Ma Xiaotian and said, "Lead the two teams to chase south...... Strive to bring Du Shan and Miss Ma San back together. ”

Ma Xiaotian took the order and left.

Ma Zhixiong said: "My brother-in-law was seriously injured, and it is estimated that he will not go far, and he should be able to catch it back." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "I don't think it's ...... This Du Shan is a character, if he has the heart to avoid us, it is not easy to find. Speaking of this, he thought of Miss Ma San's departure, and he didn't know when he would have the opportunity to meet, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. However, this trace of confusion came and went quickly, and it had dissipated in the bottom of my heart as soon as I turned around.

Ma Zhixiong said to the little girl who was speechless: "Little dumb girl, my second brother is sorry for you, in the future, you will come to my Mafu to live in peace...... I will not do you badly. ”

The little girl looked at his face, which was similar to that of the second young man of the Ma family, took two steps back, and shook her head. Although I talked to him for a while and knew that he was not a bad person, this face was really scary, how dare he be by his side?

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Stay in my house and do some chores." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, Ma Zhixiong didn't dare to object, and the little girl saw him sitting on the throne, knowing that he was a big man, she didn't dare to resist, so she nodded and agreed.

In fact, there are more than 800 houses in the Qin Palace, and a piece of it is cut out for Zhu Cunshu and his concubines to live in, and the vacated space is still very large, and it takes many maids and servants to take care of such a large place. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to use King Qin's former slaves and maidservants, worried that these people were unreliable, and they had to change a group of messengers, and it was nothing to accept a little mute girl.

After Ma Zhixiong went, many rich people came in to pay taxes and many chores, so I can't press it here.

A few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang finished handling the affairs of the Qin Palace, and the former slaves and maidservants of Zhu Cunshu were dismissed in large numbers, and the slaves were distributed to the fields and allowed them to return to freedom. The handmaidens allowed them to marry into soldiers, which can be regarded as a return to freedom. As for the eunuchs in the harem of the palace, it is a little difficult to do, these people stay in the harem Zhu Yuanzhang can't believe it, if they are released, they will not be able to live like normal people, and the eunuchs are not learned and have a lot of vices, they are completely a bunch of waste. I had to send someone to drive them out of Shaanxi and let them go back to the arms of the imperial court by themselves.

The palace re-collected a group of maids and cleaned many houses again, and then Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to take over the new women of the palace, that is, Zhang Yingxian and Qiu Ye.

This big mansion scared Zhang Yingxian's master and servant a big start, Rao is Zhang Yingxian was born in the family of the eunuch, seeing that she suddenly became the hostess of such a mansion, she was also a little at a loss, thinking about the time when she was in Huanglong Cottage, she didn't want Zhu Ba to go down the mountain, afraid that he would fail to revolt and be killed by the officers and soldiers, but she didn't expect her own man to win every battle, and he had laid such a foundation, and couldn't help but feel proud.

At this time, Zhang Yingxian had been pregnant for a few months, her lower abdomen was slightly bulging, and her movement was not very convenient. On this day, she was walking in the garden, and there was only a little mute girl around her to take care of her, but when she saw the flowers and trees next to her, a girl in red came out of the woods, grabbed Zhang Yingxian's hand with one hand, put the other hand in front of her mouth, and made a "shhh" movement, indicating that Zhang Yingxian should not exclaim loudly.

Zhang Yingxian recognized that this was Zhu Jun's new leader, named Red Lady, who was honest and kind, and he was good at fighting grievances, so he laughed in a low voice: "What is my sister looking for me?" ”

The red lady said in a low voice: "I have already inquired, you were forcibly arrested by Brother Zhu and taken to the cottage, right?" He has taken your body by force and has taken you as his wife. I've been observing you for the last few days, and I've seen you look depressed and sad...... must be dissatisfied with his evil deeds, don't worry, my red lady can't see this kind of thing the most...... I'm going to rebel against Zhu Jun today, you come with me, and I'll take you out of Zhu Jun's territory......"

Zhang Yingxian opened her mouth wide, she didn't know what to say for a while, she just felt incredible.

But the red lady thought she was overjoyed, so she planned to carry her on her back and take her away.

Zhang Yingxian said with a smile: "Red girl...... You...... Don't be mistaken, I'm depressed not because my husband married me, but because I can't see him and think about him. ”

The red lady was taken aback: "What? Don't...... Am I a shaved picker? (To be continued.) )
