Chapter 17: Reunion

Mu Duoli got the news and clamored to go. Of course, Liu Ziqiu didn't let her follow, after all, there was no trace of the gang of thieves in Yushan, and someone had to take care of the children. In fact, those children were not happy, but Liu Ziqiu had his own way to deal with them, and handed them all over to Yu Shinan, so that Yu Shinan urged them to read and write.

Leaving the barracks, Liu Ziqiu went to Xiayi City at his first stop. More than 2,000 civilians were imprisoned here, and the people were all concentrated in the school grounds, guarded by the local army, and the county officials and a group of officials were interrogated there one by one. Liu Ziqiu's guards showed their waist cards, and naturally walked all the way unhindered, and soon came to the outside of the school field. A soldier guarding the school grounds wanted to go to report, but Liu Ziqiu waved his hand to stop him. After entering the school grounds, Liu Ziqiu did not step forward immediately, but took Gao Xiuer and Tuoba Qianyu and stood in the corner to watch the interrogation.

The arrested people included women and children, as well as young and strong, but all of them were very tough, and no matter how the county magistrate sitting in the hall interrogated, they just reasoned that they did not know. After all, the county is a native of his hometown, but he is embarrassed to push too much, so when he can't ask his eyebrows, he asks the next person to come out. However, a centurion who maintained order next to him couldn't hold back, and raised his horsewhip several times, wanting to beat those people, but was stopped by the county magistrate who presided over the trial.

At this moment, another woman was pushed out. The woman had a shy belly and a veil over her face, but she was pregnant.

The centurion immediately rebuked: "Take off the veil! ”

The pregnant woman just ignored it, walked straight forward, and said a blessing to the county: "I don't know why the adults called us here?" ”

"In front of adults, how can you be allowed to pretend!" Before the county could speak, the centurion had already come over angrily and ripped off the veil from the pregnant woman's face.

The centurion was immediately stunned, this pregnant woman was so beautiful that he did not expect to see such a beautiful woman in this rural place. Not to mention the centurion, even the county man sitting in the hall was stunned, and he could even feel that his throat moved, as if he was swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

When Gao Xiu'er saw the pregnant woman, she seemed a little familiar, and couldn't help but say "Huh".

Liu Ziqiu was surprised: "Xiu'er, do you know her?" ”

Gao Xiu'er shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, I don't think I've seen it anywhere." ”

The county man who was sitting high in the hall had already come back to his senses and slapped a few cases suddenly: "Who is standing below?" ”

The pregnant woman said softly: "The little girl's husband's surname is Cheng, and her mother's surname is Shi." ”

The county suddenly frowned: "You are not a local!" Where is your husband? ”

If you don't listen carefully, Cheng Shi's speech is also a local accent, but if you look closely, you can still find some clues. This county magistrate is also a careful person, and he quickly noticed the difference.

Cheng Shi was not flustered, and said slowly: "Don't dare to hide it from adults." The little girl was originally from Luoyang, but later her family fell into the middle of the road, and she went to Jiangnan with her parents to join her family, which coincided with the war and could not move forward. The parents made the decision to marry the little girl locally. The little woman's husband went into the mountains to hunt a few days ago, but he has not returned, and the little woman does not know where he is now. ”

"Humph! A certain had just returned from the mountains, and he had never seen a hunter surnamed Cheng. It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. Don't tell the truth anymore, Hugh blames a certain ruthless attack! The centurion, however, grew impatient, and raised his whip in his hand.

"Stop!" Liu Ziqiu saw that this centurion was actually going to do something to a pregnant woman, and finally couldn't help it and stopped it.

The centurion said angrily, "What man? Dare to roar at the schoolyard! ”

This is the jurisdiction of the local army, and even the county officials in charge of interrogation are polite to them, and someone actually speaks out to stop him, and his heart is naturally displeased.

A guard had already stepped forward and flashed his waist card, shouting: "Bold! ”

Seeing the waist card, the centurion's arrogance finally decreased, and he arched his hand and said, "I don't know what the adults have to say." ”

Liu Ziqiu glanced at the pregnant woman twice, and asked in a deep voice, "What are these people's crimes?" Why are they being detained here? And why do you be rude to the people? You eat and clothe, and you have the fat and the anointment, and these people are your food and clothing. Without the people, you would not be where you are today! Look at you like this, you don't deserve to stay in the Han army at all! ”

Whether it is a regular army or a local army, the treatment is very good, and an ordinary soldier's annual salary can support a family of five. The centurion's income was much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and if he lost his military position, it would probably affect the life of his family, and the young man in front of him obviously had the power to decide his future.

The centurion's mood couldn't help but become nervous, and he said in a loud voice: "Lord Qiqi, my general was killed by thieves, and the brothers are sad in their hearts, and their attitude is inevitably worse. Adults don't know, there must be a lot of fish and mountain thieves among these people, and it is not so difficult for them to show their traces. However, please also be aware that the last general only made words and threatened, and did not really hurt a single person. ”

"Your general is Min Bo. He was killed by the Dangshan bandits, and he had nothing to do with these people. Liu Ziqiu already understood that these people were the local army of Liang County, so he no longer scolded them, nodded, and said, "It also depends on the object of intimidation, you see, can those children withstand the intimidation?" And this pregnant person, what if she has fetal gas? ”

Cheng Shishi was still calm just now, and after listening to Liu Ziqiu's words, he suddenly covered his stomach and cried out in pain.

Who is Liu Ziqiu, of course, I know that this woman was inspired by him and began to disguise. But this woman didn't know that she was so pretentious, but it was self-defeating, and she became even more suspicious! Liu Ziqiu snorted coldly, and was about to order someone to take this woman down first to take care of her, but saw Gao Xiu'er walk forward and waved her hand at him.

Gao Xiuer can be regarded as Sun Simiao's descendant disciple, Qianjinfang has long been familiar with it, and she is not on paper, when she was in Changshan Village, she often diagnosed people, and also accumulated a lot of experience, although her medical skills cannot be compared with Sun Simiao, but she is also well-known in Yuhang. Seeing Cheng Shi's appearance at this time, Gao Xiu'er had already understood three points in her heart, stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, shook her head gently, and said, "This sister-in-law, if you hold your stomach again, I'm afraid the child won't be able to save it." ”

Cheng Shishi was shocked when he heard this, and quickly let go of his hand and asked, "What did you say?" Is there something wrong with my child? ”

Gao Xiu'er said lightly: "You have been impetuous, too worried recently, if you don't recuperate in time, I am afraid that there will be a big problem." ”

Cheng Shishi glanced at Gao Xiu'er and was already a little convinced. Ever since she was sent down the mountain by her husband, she has been worried about his safety. Especially after listening to the people who absconded back to tell about the strong combat effectiveness of the official army, she didn't sleep well for a day. If Liu Ziqiu or that county said this, she might not believe it. But the person who spoke to her was clearly a woman, although the woman's face was veiled, and she couldn't see her true face clearly, but her voice was soft, and people were willing to get close for no reason.

At this time, whether it was the county chief or the centurion, they already knew that Liu Ziqiu was not small, and they didn't dare to say much, so they could only stand quietly on the side.

Gao Xiu'er saw that her words had some effect, and couldn't help but continue: "At this time, you need a caring husband by your side to take care of him in every way, how can you let him go into the mountains to hunt?" ”

Liu Ziqiu next to him blushed when he heard this, when Gao Xiu'er was pregnant with Liu Sigen, not only was he not by Gao Xiu'er's side, but he didn't know it. Now that Hua Yun and Lin Qiaoer are both pregnant, and he has left Jingnan to tour, it seems that his husband is very incompetent.

Not to mention Liu Ziqiu's secret guilt, Cheng Shishi was already alert: "It's not right! You, like them, are suspicious of my family! You're lying to me. ”

Gao Xiu'er "Gege" laughed: "Huiniang, how could I lie to you?" ”

This "Hui Niang" surprised Cheng Shi's family, and asked repeatedly: "How do you know my name?" Who are you? ”

Gao Xiu'er gently took off her veil, and there was a sound of surprise around her. This woman is not only a little more beautiful than Shi Huiniang, but also has a noble temperament. Of course, the people around him knew that Gao Xiu'er's identity was different, but no one dared to have the slightest blasphemy.

Cheng Shi stared at Gao Xiu'er for a long time, and suddenly said with a surprised face: "Yes, it's you!" ”

A few years ago, Gao Xiuer took the name of Shi Huiniang and entered Xiyuan, and Shi Huiniang's family left their hometown because of this, but they never thought that they would meet here again today.

Gao Xiuer said with a smile; "Shi Huiniang, now you should believe me." After speaking, he pointed at Liu Ziqiu again: "This is my husband." ”

Shi Huiniang hurriedly gave a salute: "I've seen adults." ”

Liu Ziqiu saw that this Shi Huiniang must have a lot to do with the Yushan thief, and it happened that she was Gao Xiu'er's old friend, so she could be used, so he couldn't help waving his hand to the centurion and said, "Let the people go back, if something happens, a certain force will bear it!" ”

The imperial guards can only be their followers behind him, and the county commander and the centurion all know that this person's status is not simple. Since he had sent a word, the two did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly ordered the officers and soldiers and the messengers to get out of the way and let the people go home. There are indeed many fish mountain thieves and their families among these people, and when they are brought to the school grounds, some of them have already decided to take risks as a last resort. Now that the crisis is over, everyone is relieved, some are happy, and some are cheering. However, more people looked at Shi Huiniang, because Liu Ziqiu didn't seem to have any intention of letting her go.

The so-called heart has a soul, Gao Xiu'er has already understood what Liu Ziqiu meant, gently grabbed Shi Huiniang's arm, and said with a smile: "You and I have been separated for several years, and it is really God's will to meet here today." I'm not going to let you go today, I'm going to talk about the old relationship. ”
