Chapter 6: Surprised? Not surprised?
The man holding the water lotus put down the black veil again. "Surprised? Not surprised? ”
"Pleasantly surprised! Very unexpected! Why are you doing this? ”
"I'll wait until it's safe. The official chased after him after a while. Hold on tight. Drive! ”
When passing by a small mountain, Xue Gongzi took the water lotus flower up the mountain. There is a ruined temple in the mountains. There were seven people waiting for them in the temple. One of them was wearing Xue Gongzi's clothes, two were wearing the clothes of a small servant, and four were wearing the clothes of a family.
Xue Gongzi pointed to a small guy who was about the same size as the water lotus and said to the water lotus: "You change clothes with him, and comb your hair like him." After changing it, comb his hair like you are now. ”
"Okay."
When Shui Lian and Xiaowu changed their clothes and combed their hair, Xue Gongzi also finished changing clothes with the person who pretended to be him.
After the person who pretended to be Xue Gongzi just now rode away with the little guy who pretended to be a water lotus and the people who followed Xue Gongzi to rob the water lotus, Xue Gongzi looked at the water lotus and said: "Go, the master will take you up the mountain to catch rabbits." ”
Water Lotus looked at the direction those people left just now and asked, "Will they be fine?" ”
"No, it won't. If they couldn't even deal with ordinary officials, my eldest brother wouldn't have sent them to me. Let's go. ”
"Okay." Knowing that those people would be fine, Shui Lianhua followed Xue Gongzi into the mountain to catch rabbits. Water Lotus wanted to know why Xue Gongzi didn't do what had been discussed in advance? But she felt that the little boy would definitely not tell her until he had fun.
After the old lady Qi came out, she saw the housekeeper standing anxiously at the door. "What's wrong?"
The housekeeper whispered: "Just now I followed Miss Tian to buy a dowry in Fucheng, and a nursing home came back and said that Miss Tian was robbed in Fucheng. ”
"What?!" He asked his son to send his grandson back from the capital so that the woman could give him his grandson a joy. And now someone has taken that woman away!
"Don't worry, old lady. They have already reported to the officials, and the government has sent people to chase them. ”
"Can I not be in a hurry?" If he can't find it, then where will he go to find a woman for his grandson who is good-looking, has a good life, has a poor family background, is the same age as his grandson, and has not married? "Quick, call that nurse to the study."
"The little one has already asked him to wait at the door of the study."
"Let's go."
"Okay."
When I arrived at the study, the nursing home who came back to report the news was just about to salute the old lady Qi, and the old lady Qi said, "How was the person robbed?" ”
The nursing home briefly explained what had happened. "The men said as they left...... Say ......"
The housekeeper glared at the nursing home. "Speak quickly!"
"They said to let the little ones come back and tell the eldest lord that the father and the son will pay the debt."
Old Lady Qi: "What?!" ”
Butler: "Old lady, it seems that they are here for the eldest master." ”
Nurse: "Old lady, those people are very good, and the horses they ride are also good horses. ”
Old lady Qi slapped the table angrily. "Damn! If you can't fight in the officialdom, your son will use this kind of indiscriminate means to deal with my son! ”
Old Lady Qi looked at the housekeeper. "Call all the men in the house to help the government find someone. Also, tell the government and let them offer a reward. The silver of the bounty was put out of the house. ”
Housekeeper: "Old lady, what if they robbed the Tian girl is fake, is it true to rob our Qi family?" ”
"You're saying they want to divert the tiger from the mountain?"
"Possibly."
Old Lady Qi thought for a while: "Leave ten nursing homes, and then you send someone to invite the county master over." Let him bring all his servants when he comes. ”
"Yes. The little ones are going. ”
"Go!"
"Yes!"
After the housekeeper and the nursing home who came back to report the news left, the old lady Qi leaned softly on the back of the chair. "Could it be that my eldest grandson just can't survive this catastrophe? God, the masters who taught my eldest grandson said that my eldest grandson is a general. God, you let my eldest grandson get through this. God, old man, please! ”
After a while, Mrs. Qi came over. "What's wrong? Why did the housekeeper call all the adult men in the family away? ”
Old Lady Qi told Old Lady Qi about the matter.
"What? How dare they rob people on the street?! ”
Old Lady Qi nodded.
"So what now? Even if this man is found...... Nor is he innocent. ”
Old Lady Qi also knows. Those people just didn't touch the water lotus, and others wouldn't believe it. But the water lotus is the best woman in this area. If he was asked to give up the water lotus, he would really be reluctant. "She is a concubine, and it doesn't matter if she is innocent or not. Didn't the county magistrate's new house come out of a brothel. ”
"This ......"
"Alright. Stop it. Let everyone in the family keep their mouths shut. If anyone gets this word to Hao'er's ears, I'll skin him. ”
"Okay."
On the other side, Xue Gongzi caught a few rabbits and was not interested.
No sooner had they reached the bottom of the hill than a coachman jumped out of a splendid carriage. That fake Xue Gongzi came in this carriage just now. "Little boy, are you going back?"
"Hmm." Xue Gongzi stepped on the horse stool and got into the carriage.
The water lotus hurriedly followed. "Little boy, I'll go up and serve you."
"Come on."
"Yes."
After Pear Flower got into the carriage, another servant sat down next to the coachman. The remaining four housekeepers rode on either side of the carriage.
In the carriage, Shui Lian looked at Xue Gongzi and asked, "Little boy, why did you rob me on the street?" ”
Xue Gongzi put his two legs on the thighs of the water lotus. "Sir, I haven't walked so much for a long time."
"Then I'll give you a thrash."
"Hmm."
After a while, Xue Gongzi said that his arm was sore. The arms are sore, the shoulders are sore, the fingers are sore......
After more than half an hour, Xue Gongzi looked at the water lotus and said, "First of all, how to play the game, the master has the final say." Secondly, it was you who proposed to go to the temple outside the city to ask for a peace charm for Boss Qi. If you were robbed on the way to ask for a peace charm, would you think the Qi family would suspect that you were in collusion with the robbers? ”
"Third, if you are robbed by bandits, you can only blame your own life. It doesn't have much to do with the Qi family. But if you were robbed because Lord Qi had a grudge against others, then it would have a great relationship with their Qi family. ”
Water Lotus: "That's why you kidnapped me in front of so many people, and when you left, you still said, 'Father and son pay debts'?" ”
"Hmm."
"Then if Lord Qi and Don't have an enmity......
Xue Gongzi laughed when he heard it. "Aunt Xiaocun, my master told you that it is impossible for an official to have no enemies. The greater the ruler, the more enemies there are. ”
"Huh?"
"The village chief of your village may have enemies."
This water lotus understood. "Thank you." She had thought her plan would be perfect.
Xue Gongzi pulled the water lotus into his arms. "It's not enough to just talk about it. How are you going to thank me? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the little guy sitting outside came in. "Little boy, there's a team of officials in front."
The water lotus nervously grabbed Xue Gongzi's clothes.
