119 - Caught the wrong person!
"Well said, well said!" The boss said weakly, "This road is not smooth, I don't know where the girl's family lives, let me escort the girl back?" β
The young lady said gratefully: "My family lives on East Street in the city, but my sister was arrested by those people just now, I wonder if the strong man can rescue my sister?" β
"This ......" he was a little embarrassed, not knowing how to answer her.
The young lady also realized that she was too anxious, and hurriedly said: "There is no need to embarrass the strong man, I am abrupt." The strong man stepped forward to save him, and he was already grateful, and he didn't dare to ask too much. β
Seeing her disappointed eyes, he hurriedly lied and said: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that those people have run away, I don't know where they arrested your sister, and it's not safe to leave you here alone, it's inconvenient to chase you with you, it's better to let me send you home first, and then I'll go to your sister again." β
Seeing that he was very reasonable, the young lady immediately saluted again: "I thank the strong man for my sister!" β
He hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said as gently as possible: "No need to be polite. Then the whistle sounded, and a horse came out, and he got on it first, and then extended his hand to her.
She was stunned for a moment, thinking that the people in the rivers and lakes were informal, and the top priority was to notify her father and Haitao to rescue her sister first, so she also stretched out her hand. Seeing this, the boss pulled her on his horse and galloped out of the city.
When she reached three miles from the city gate, he helped her off her horse and said, "It's safe here, you go back first, I'll go to save your sister first." β
Seeing this, the young lady took out a piece of jade pendant in her arms: "The great kindness of the strong man cannot be reciprocated, and this jade pendant is also asked to accept the strong man first." Regardless of whether the strong man can save his sister or not, please go to the Shen Mansion on East Street afterwards, and I will thank you for redeeming the jade pendant! β
"Good!" He laughed foolishly, stepped on his horse and left.
Seeing him leave, the young lady ran quickly to the city, and had to quickly tell her father and Haitao to let them save her sister, there was only one strong man, and it would be much better to have the help of officers and soldiers. I don't know if those family members haven't come back either, she was sent back on horseback, so she should be faster than them.
Coincidentally, not long after she walked into the city gate, she met a team of patrolling officers and soldiers, and it was Lian Haitao who led the troops today.
"Haitao!" She hurriedly shouted.
When Lian Haitao saw her, he hurriedly jumped off the horse, walked up to her, and said happily: "Yuexin, why are you here?" Then he reacted, "No, you didn't go to the Red Leaf Temple with Yueming to offer incense today, why did you come back alone?" β
"We've met robbers."
"What? You're not hurt, are you? Lian Haitao hurriedly checked nervously, and only then did he reassure a little when he saw that she was not unusual.
Shen Yuexin shook her head: "I'm fine, I was rescued by a hero, but my sister was captured by them." Haitao, go and save your sister! β
"Okay, don't worry, I'll go and save Yueming, do you know who captured her?"
"I don't know, they're all masked."
"Second lieutenant, you don't have to think about it, you know who else there will be besides Luo Tianyun!" A Commanding Path.
Even Haitao nodded, he also agreed with this judgment, and reassured Shen Yuexin and said, "Okay, I'll go and rescue Yueming, you go back and wait for my news first!" After that, he looked at the deputy behind him, "Lian Jiang, escort the second lady back to the house." β
"Subordinates take orders!"
Lian Haitao led his subordinates to run out of thirty miles, but saw the Shen family's carriage parked alone on the road, but the horses didn't know where to go. For fear of deception, Lian Haitao did not approach, but sent someone to surround the carriage and shouted: "Luo Tianyun, if you can't beat me, I'll find a woman to be angry, what kind of man is it?" If you kind of you're going to get out of here! β
At this time, the curtain of the carriage moved, and even Haitao made a look, and everyone was on guard. But seeing a little girl's head poking out of the carriage slightly, she saw the person clearly, and said excitedly: "Young Master Lian, it's really you!" β
"Qingqing?" Lian Haitao is confused, what is the situation?
Seeing Lian Haitao, she was relieved, and the little maid Qingqing hurriedly helped the young lady get out of the carriage.
Lian Haitao stepped forward and asked, "Yueming?" What's going on, didn't Yuexin say that you were caught by bandits? β
Shen Yueming looked at him and said aggrievedly: "They said that they caught the wrong person, and then they left us here." β
Lian Haitao let Shen Yueming and Qingqing get into the carriage, and ordered a subordinate to put on a horse and drive the carriage back to the Shen Mansion, scolding this Luo Tianyun along the way for not knowing what he was doing.
What's going on here? Here's the thing:
Several masked people stuffed Shen Yueming and the little maid Qingqing into the carriage and ran away in the carriage, and the two masked men sitting in the carriage together said happily: "I didn't expect Shen Yuexin to be so easy to grasp, now the second brother and the third brother are saved." β
When Qingqing heard this, she shouted: "What you want to arrest is the second lady of our family, what are you doing to arrest our eldest lady?" β
"What, you're not Shen Yuexin?" The masked man was surprised.
"Of course!" Qingqing said dissatisfiedly, "This is our eldest lady Shen Yueming, the one you let go just now is the second young lady Shen Yuexin!" β
The masked man looked at each other for a moment, and hurriedly shouted, "Sixth, stop, stop!" β
After several people discussed, they looked around Shen Yueming and asked unwillingly, "Are you really not Shen Yuexin?" β
At this time, Shen Yueming also saw that these masked people were not very easy to use, and immediately said: "Of course not, you have arrested the wrong person, why don't you release me quickly, I promise not to pursue it!" β
The masked man asked puzzledly: "Then why is Shen Yuexin not as good-looking as you, isn't she the number one beauty in Baixiang County?" β
Qingqing said angrily: "Everyone is saying that Miss Shen is the first beauty in Baixiang County, and this Miss Shen refers to our eldest lady!" Then he added, "Our second lady is also a beauty, but she is a little worse than the eldest lady." β
The masked man was confused, and his eyes widened: "How can this be, Lian Haitao's woman is not the first beauty in Baixiang County?" β
Shen Yueming was about to die of anger when he heard their conversation, who stipulated that even Haitao's fiancΓ©e must be the first beauty, is she Shen Yueming not qualified? immediately asked: "Why does Lian Haitao's fiancΓ©e have to be the first beauty?" β
"He is not the most promising person in Baixiang County, of course only the first beauty is worthy of him!"
Shen Yueming said helplessly: "I thank you for lifting up, but I really am not Shen Yuexin, my sister is." β
Several masked men discussed for a while and asked, "You said that you are not Shen Yuexin, but what evidence do you have?" β
Shen Yueming took out a piece of jade pendant and threw it to them: "There are two pieces of this jade pendant, mine has a 'Ming' character on it, my sister Yuexin's jade pendant is exactly the same as mine, but it is engraved with the word 'heart'." β
Several masked people held jade pendants and stared at each other, and the sixth man shouted: "Fourth brother, take a look, I can't read!" β
The fourth brother gave him a head melon seed: "Your grandmother's, she speaks as if Lao Tzu is literate!" Old five, here you are the smartest, you come and see! β
"I'm illiterate!" Lao Wu looked at it for a long time, patted his head and shouted: "I know, the word 'heart' doesn't have so many strokes, this is definitely not 'heart'!" β
"So, did you really catch the wrong person?" The fourth brother still couldn't believe it.
"What can I do?" The sixth asked.
The fifth child's eyes rolled twice, and he said, "Sixth, you ride the horse fast, throw the carriage here, you ride on the horse and tell the boss to let him catch Shen Yuexin back!" β
"What about them?" The fourth child glanced at Shen Yueming's master and servant.
"Just leave it here, let's run to pick up the boss!"
"Okay, let's go!"
In this way, Shen Yueming and Qingqing were thrown in place, and the two weak women didn't know where they were, and they didn't dare to walk back by themselves, so they had to hide in the carriage and wait for rescue. Shen Yueming didn't say that their target was Shen Yuexin, because she had her own selfish intentions.
