Chapter Seventy-Five: Infiltrating Tongzhou
I saw that the leader checked his purse and said with a smile: "Since I have accepted your filial piety, I will naturally show you the way." Tongzhou is under martial law, and other residents who are not residents of the city are not allowed to enter the city. You'd better go back. ”
Gu Fanghua saw that it was impossible to sneak into the city with such martial law, so he shook his whip.
According to the agreement, he pretended to be angry and said: "Thirteen, what nonsense with them, we saved a person surnamed Hu." He also said that he was from the Tongzhou official's family, and he wanted to repay us well, and the city couldn't get in, they were all liars! Throw him away! ”
As soon as he heard that they had saved the surnamed Hu, who was still the son of a big official, the leader immediately looked solemn.
He smiled and asked Ye Shisan: "I don't know who you have saved, little brother?" ”
Ye 13 waved his hand, and Xiao Manzi turned over Hu Qiang, who was lying on the back of the horse.
The little leader looked at it from a distance, was shocked, and came over to take a closer look, only then did he determine that it was the third young master Hu who went to collect rent. Hurriedly beckoned people to get Hu Qiang down, pinching people and pinching the tiger's mouth.
can be tossed for a long time, Hu Qiang is still unconscious.
The little leader was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and immediately asked people to report to his superiors, that is, Lord Yang, the pipe belt on the city tower.
Yang Guandai heard that there was news of Third Young Master Hu, so he hurriedly led people down from the city tower, and while asking people to go to Hu's house to report the news, he found a deputy stretcher to place Hu Qiang.
After instructing the little leader, he took Hu Qiang into the city first.
The little leader sent Lord Yang away, then trotted over, nodded and said: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, you saved the third son of the Yin family in our house, please go into the city with the little one, and I will send a few to the Hu Mansion." ”
When the group successfully entered the city gate, the little leader also got on the horse and led the way, while talking to Ye Shisan on the road.
Here Hu Qiang was carried back to Hu Mansion, and Aunt Ding, who received the news, rushed over.
When she came to the flower hall, she saw at a glance that her son, who was lying upright on the Luohan couch, cried and pounced. One sniff and two touched the body, but fortunately the body was hot, and then he howled: "My son! ”
Mrs. Hu, who rushed over later, heard Aunt Ding's cry from a distance, coughed heavily, and said unhappily: "People are crying before they die?" Aunt Ding didn't hurry up and get out of the way, so that the doctor could take a look. ”
Aunt Ding didn't dare to delay the doctor, so she sobbed and stood next to her.
The doctor first checked the pulse of his left and right hands, and then carefully examined his bare skin, and then tentatively applied a few stitches.
But Hu Qiang still didn't move, and the doctor got up and saluted in fear: "Madam, the old man's medical skills are not perfect, the third young master's pulse is calm, and his breathing is gentle, so I really can't find the reason for the coma." ”
When Aunt Ding heard this, she wanted to cry loudly again, but she was glared at by Mrs. Hu, so she had to take a handkerchief to plug the cry into her mouth.
Madame Hu looked around and found that none of Hu Qiang's usual entourage was there, and asked, "Who sent the third young master back?" What about the people around the third young master? ”
Yang Guandai, who was guarding the city gate, immediately knelt down and said, "My subordinates have seen Madame, it was a group of outsiders who appeared at the city gate with the third young master. The subordinates brought the third young master back first, and they arrived later. ”
"Only the third young master alone?"
"Yes, there were six others, one of them an old man, and two women, and three young men. I heard that they saved the third young master. ”
Yang Guan's words made Mrs. Hu silent, and after a while, she said, "Steward Lin, you go to receive it and understand the situation clearly." For the time being, I put people in the guest house and asked for a round-and-forth. There's been a lot of going on lately, so don't come here with a gang from yesterday. ”
Steward Lin bowed and retreated, and Mrs. Hu then ordered: "Come on, carry the third young master back to the courtyard, clean up, and take good care of it." ”
Aunt Ding hurriedly said: "Madam, the concubine wants to take care of the third young master." ”
Mrs. Hu was noncommittal, snorted coldly and led people out of the flower hall, leaving Aunt Ding, who was worried, and followed Hu Qiang back to his usual courtyard.
Steward Lin welcomed Gu Fanghua and his entourage into the guest house, placed them in the wing room, and beckoned Yahuan to serve tea and pastries.
Then he lowered his eyebrows and saluted: "It's Lin Quan, the housekeeper of Hu Mansion, thank you for reaching out and saving our third young master." Thank you, thank you! ”
Ye Shisanma slipped forward and arched his hand: "This is just our master's effort, but it's a pity that when I met Young Master Hu, it was too late, and the three of Young Master Hu's entourage were all dead." ”
Mr. Lin said tentatively: "Then dare to ask, why are our third young masters unconscious?" There are more than three people around the third young master, and five people are right. ”
Ye 13 spread his hands and said, "Manager Lin, we don't know about this. When I met Young Master Hu, he was still sober, leaving only one sentence, he was from the Tongzhou official's family, let us take him back to Tongzhou, and then it became like this. ”
"Oh, I see. Thank you for your help, I don't know how to call a few of them? ”
Although Mr. Lin spoke respectfully, the look on his face could not hide his arrogance.
Gu Fanghua deliberately lowered his face and said unhappily: "We just want to come to Tongzhou, just by the way." Now that the people have been delivered, we don't want to be paid, so can we go? Dad, let's go! ”
How could Chief Manager Lin let them go, he smiled and comforted: "Several of them are the life-saving benefactors of our third young master, how can they go?" The lord has not yet gone down, and when the lord comes back, he will definitely thank him in person. ”
Father-in-law Qian's white face smiled: "No need, Qian and the little girl still have important things to do when they come to Tongzhou, so I will leave first." ”
"Master Qian, please stay, if the master knows that the distinguished guest is gone, he will definitely blame the little one for not being well entertained. I don't know what is important to Mr. Qian? In this Tongzhou boundary, there is still a little bit of thin noodles in the bottom, you can hand it over to the next, and it will be done for you. ”
Manager Lin blocked the door and persuaded him with good words, but before Father-in-law Qian spoke, Gu Fanghua had already said: "We will do our own things, you take something to eat first, this girl is hungry!" ”
Manager Lin glanced at Gu Fanghua with some surprise, and then looked at Father-in-law Qian, who was smiling kindly, and smiled.
"Miss is right, this is how it should be. Quick, wait for the table to be served, please rest for a while, and the lord will be back soon. When the master comes back, after thanking everyone on behalf of the third young master, he will naturally thank you again. ”
Gu Fanghua twisted to the other side with an impatient face, picked up the teacup, took a rude sip, and then put it down heavily.
Manager Lin looked at everyone, quietly stuffed a silver ticket into Ye Shisan's cuffs, stretched out his finger to point outside, and blinked again.
Ye 13 understood what Manager Lin meant, and raised his voice: "Master, miss, Thirteen will go and settle the horses first." ”
Mr. Lin and Ye Shisan left the wing room one after another, turned the corridor, and came to a small garden next to it. Ye Shisan took out the silver ticket and glanced at it, a full hundred taels.
quickly put a smile on his face, and said a little flatteringly: "Manager Lin, you are too polite, I don't dare to accept it." ”
"Brother Ye, right? Accept it, you and I are all working for the master, and if you can receive some benefits, you can accept it, how can you be a slave for a lifetime? ”
