Chapter 442: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow is behind
Jun Tao looked at it, five hundred and two one, a total of two.
The old lady said, "One is for the temple, and the other is for you." Five hundred taels is not a lot, even if you wait in front of the master of the palace, it will take many years to get so much silver. Therefore, you should take it well, and don't let your husband know about it when you marry in the future, just keep it yourself, and then take it when you are dealing with major things. β
Jun Tao looked grateful, knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady at that time, and even shed tears while holding the silver ticket, saying that even if her mother was alive, she would not be so good to her.
The old lady was very satisfied with her performance, and felt that her five hundred taels of silver, as well as the jade bracelet last night, were worth it.
It is not enough to win people's hearts by saying it alone, you must have actual performance, so that the other party can truly submit to yourself and listen to your own words.
She thought she was doing a good job, but she didn't know that Jun Tao's crying was real, but she wasn't moved by her. People are just happy to leave, and they have an extra five hundred taels, as for what is good or not, it doesn't matter, she just wants to live now.
Jun Tao left the house and went straight out of the city in the carriage of the night house.
The old lady sat in the room and hummed a joke, shaking her legs for a while, but as she swayed, she suddenly remembered something.
She hurriedly got up, pushed the door and walked out of the house, and walked straight to Jun Tao's room.
When a maid saw her come out, she wanted to wait with her, but she pushed her away.
Jun Tao's house was locked, and the little maid said: "Sister Jun Tao has to lock the door every day, maybe she has waited by the old lady's side for a long time, and she has received a lot of rewards, and there are naturally many good things in the house, so you don't worry about locking it, right?" β
The old lady felt that something was not quite right, so she waved her hand and sent the little maid away, and called the mother-in-law who was raised in the yard, "Open the door." β
The mother-in-law is very powerful, and she also carries a sword on her body, and the lock falls to the ground as soon as the sword goes down. The old lady pushed the door open and entered, and saw a clean and empty room.
"Oops!" The old lady slapped her thigh and immediately said to the woman, "Quick, go and chase Jun Tao back for me, don't let her run away!" After speaking, he immediately repented, "No, you don't need to chase her back, just follow her out of the city, find a place where no one is and kill her directly." Bring her head back to the old body and take care of it! β
The mother-in-law doesn't need to ask the reason, the personal maid ran away, which is a big deal. There are many things about the master that they don't know, but Jun Tao must know. If this is spread out, the old lady will be finished.
The mother-in-law went out four, and all of them rode fast horses. The old lady breathed a sigh of relief again, and went back to the house in a leisurely manner.
She thought that the four mothers-in-law went out to chase, and Jun Tao, a maid who didn't know martial arts, walked in a night carriage, and hadn't gone far, must not be able to escape from the palm of her hand. But she didn't know that after the four mothers-in-law left the house, Ji Duo also quietly followed, followed the mothers-in-law all the way out of the inner city, and then out of the outer city, and followed them until the outskirts of Beijing, and saw the four mothers-in-law rushing forward, stopping the carriage of the night family, and dragging Jun Tao out of the carriage, and the sword was directly on the neck.
One of the mothers-in-law was ruthless, and while grabbing Jun Tao, she also stretched out her sword and stabbed the coachman.
Although he is the chauffeur of the night family, but this kind of thing is less dangerous if one person knows about it, and a chauffeur is just a chauffeur, in their eyes, it is not a human life at all, and if they are killed, they will be killed.
This scene was seen by Ji Duo seriously, and he couldn't help but shake his head, only to say that these mothers-in-law are not very good at kung fu, but their hearts are vicious enough. Is this the old lady of the night family a person selected according to her own temperament? All of them are like her.
A leaf flew by, striking the tip of the mother-in-law's sword pointing at the coachman. The sword that was originally stabbed at the coachman was deflected at once, and under the impact of the leaves, the woman didn't even hold the sword, and fell directly to the ground.
The mothers-in-law immediately realized that there were masters nearby, but they just didn't expect that dealing with a Jun Tao would actually cause trouble.
One of them raised his voice dissatisfiedly: "I don't know which knight is here, we are people from the inner city of Lin'an, this time I am here to arrest the fugitive slaves, and I hope that the knights will not interfere, let's make it convenient for each other." "52 Literature
It's a pity that the chivalrous man has no feelings, and he doesn't want to listen to her nonsense, and he feels that these mothers-in-law have done evil for the old lady several times, which is really disgusting. So he picked up another handful of leaves and flew over.
The leaves are like knives, the knife cuts the throat, and the old lady is like a treasure, and the four of them are gone in the blink of an eye.
Jun Tao screamed in fright, but she didn't forget to escape, and ran forward with her baggage. It's a pity that he didn't run a few steps before he was snatched back, and he also sealed the acupoint with his hand, and threw it back into the carriage directly.
The coachman who escaped death immediately knelt down and kowtowed when he saw Ji Duo, but he was not afraid of panic, and his speech was reasonable: "I didn't expect that it was the people around the fourth lady who saved the slave's life, and the slave thanked Brother Ji, the slave kowtowed to you." β
The three heads knocked down, and Ji Duo was already sitting in the carriage, and said to him, "Okay, let's go home." β
The coachman glanced at the corpses on the ground and wanted to say something, but it was obvious that Ji Duo had no intention of dealing with it, so he didn't say anything more, and drove back.
It's just that when he entered the outer city and was about to reach the inner city gate, he said to Ji Duo with some emotion: "Brother Ji, I may not be able to send it forward." The old lady sent out so many people to chase after Miss Jun Tao today, presumably because the master and servant turned their faces, one wanted to run, and the other wanted to kill. I should have been unlucky to get out of this car, and I became a melon eater. Originally, this life must have been lost, but fortunately, Brother Ji saved his life, and he survived. But life is alive, but the night family must never go back, otherwise the life that was finally survived will have to be lost again. I'll give you another ride, and when I get to the gate of the city, the little brother will drive back to the house by himself, and I will run for my life. β
Ji Duo laughed, "Run? Where are you going to run? Look at this girl, she saved so much silver and jewelry before escaping, this is called escaping. What about you? How much money do you have? Are you running for your life or sending your life? Besides, the coachmen of the night family are all dead contract minions, right? You don't have a deed, you still want to run? β
The coachman was also helpless, "I understand all this, but isn't there no way, the old lady will not let me go, sooner or later she has to find a way to kill me." Instead of waiting for someone to die all day long, and not running out to fight, maybe he can still live. β
Ji Duo asked again: "After so many years, you don't have any feelings for the Ye family?" Just go? Looking at the coachman's straight body, he pondered and guessed, "You've been in the barracks, right?" β
The coachman nodded, "Brother Ji sees it?" Hehe, I was sold into slavery at the age of thirteen, and when I came, I went to the stables to feed the horses. In the spring of the fifteenth year, when the eldest man went home to save his relatives, the horse boy who came back with him fell ill and died, and when he left, he took me with him. Since then, I have followed the eldest master into the barracks, at first to feed the eldest lord horses and brush horses, and later to feed horses and brush horses in the camp. When I was a child, I also learned the craft of playing horseshoe, and they said that I was better than the master outside, and all the horses in the camp lined up for me to nail the palm, and I stayed in the barracks for seven or eight years, until the master was gone......"
He wiped a handful of tears when he said this, "The old man is gone, so I will go back to the night house and continue to feed the horses." Now that I think about it, those seven or eight years were like a dream, and now that I wake up from the dream, I find that everything is back to square one. Maybe I haven't gone out with the eldest master, right? Those experiences were a nightmare. β
He waved his hand embarrassedly, "Look at me, there are a lot of words, don't be surprised." It's almost the city gate, I'll go, little brother come out to catch the car! β
Ji Duo shook his head and sat in the carriage without moving, "Just drive your car and rush to the gate of the mansion." If someone asks why you brought me back, you will say that you have been caught by the little brother of the Ji family and want to go over to work as a coachman. If the old lady has any doubts, let her come and talk to me. If she forcibly disposes of you, she is not afraid, I am in the house every day anyway, and I can get you back at any time. I'll remember to tell my sister and aunt about this, well, and to Miss Four. If the fourth lady also lacks a coachman, then congratulations, the future days will be settled. β
The coachman was very happy, and the horsewhip snapped ~ crackled. The fourth lady is now the most powerful character in the house, and even the old lady is afraid of it, which is something that the whole house knows. If he can really follow Miss Fourth in the future, he really doesn't have to be afraid of the old lady.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that he has followed the general for so many years, and he has long recognized the general as his only master. Although the deed is still in the night mansion, in his heart, there is only one general.
Now that the general is gone, it is the same that he can do things for the general's favorite little daughter.
He said to Ji Duo: "My name is Zhou Shang, thank you Brother Ji for speaking for me." Today, you have been very kind to me, and now you are willing to introduce me, I really don't know how to thank you. Why don't I give you half of my monthly income from now on, until I am old and I die, okay? β
Ji Duo smiled, "No, I don't lack silver." β
The curtain was lowered, and the people in the carriage stopped talking. Zhou Shang shook his head, only to feel that this little brother Ji is also strange, but it is said that this is a person from the Ji family in Quanzhou, and his origin is too big. The fourth lady is really powerful, there are three slaves around her, and the future is immeasurable!
In the Fulu Courtyard of the General's Mansion, the old lady's right eyelid kept jumping, and they all said that her left eye jumped and her right eye jumped disaster, and she felt that such a jump was not a good thing.
The mother-in-law who went out to rob people never came back, she calculated the distance, and felt that she should come back, why hasn't there been any movement?
So he sent another mother-in-law to the door to inquire, but when the mother-in-law came back, she said, "Old lady, something may have happened." None of our people came back, but the porter saw the plan around the fourth lady, and took the unconscious Jun Tao back to the house, and went straight to the west courtyardββ"
