Chapter 307: The Man in Brown
Under the sunset, this person has a purple and gold crown in his hair, a brown brocade robe, a large tiger embroidered on his chest, describing might, and there are complex moire patterns around his neck, and the whole person looks luxurious and flamboyant.
At this time, his eyes were even more round, and his sharp eyes were gloomy, staring at the six people in front of him.
Qi Yunshu felt a kind of pressure like a mountain from him, and the idlers were even more overwhelmed by the momentum he deliberately released, glanced at each other, hurriedly approached, and fled towards a small alley in a panic, but they knew each other!
The mighty man stood with his hands in his hands and sneered: "In the important land of Chuzhou, there is such an ignorant Xiaoxiao, how rampant, how did Liu Pingzhong, the prefect, be!" ”
Qi Yunshu raised her eyebrows, the person in front of her should be a big person with status no matter how she dressed, or how she spoke and behaved, but her experience was still shallow after all, and she couldn't recognize him for a while, she only felt that he was familiar, especially those eyes, which were long and narrow, and particularly profound, seemed to be the same as someone she had seen in the capital.
But who is that man?
Just as Qi Yunshu was still secretly pondering the identity of the person who came, the brown brocade-clothed man had already spoken: "This girl is injured, does it matter?" ”
"Uh...... I'm fine, thank you Childe for saving me! Qi Yunshu hurriedly came back to his senses and bowed and thanked him.
It's just that the left shoulder that was hit by the wooden stick before was really a faint pain, but it's over patience, and there's really no need to show it off!
The people who came saw that Qi Yunshu was delicate, but there was a bit of toughness between the words, and when they saw that her maid ring was found, they didn't stay longer, greeted their subordinates, and the two jumped on the horse that stopped at the mouth of the alley.
Qi Yunshu saw that the horse in the lead was red all over his body, only a pinch of white was on his head, and the sound was like thunder when he snorted, his momentum was like a tiger, and he moved like a flying rabbit, and under the sun, the sweat flowing from the horse's body showed a trace of red through the jujube hair.
She quietly "hissed" and grabbed a handful of magpies: "That...... That's the sweat and blood BMW? ”
The magpie still had some insight and nodded.
Qi Yunshu was overjoyed, she actually saw the legendary living sweat and blood BMW!
In this joy, she did not even say anything to the man, and watched as the two of them rode away.
When the reaction came, only the dust in the sky remained.
Qi Yunshu pushed the magpie: "Do you know him?" ”
The magpie shook his head: "The slave doesn't know it, but it looks like it's from the capital!" Although Magpie knows the situation of every household in the capital well, many people only live in the information she has seen, and have not met them.
Qi Yunshu sighed: "You're right, such a character must be from the capital, but unfortunately I don't know it, but if Uncle Wen is here, I'm afraid he will know it!" ”
As she spoke, Qi Yunshu turned to Hu, she saw that the situation was not good, and obediently took her son to hide behind the door panel, and only then did she quietly emerge when she saw the end of the fight.
It's just that he is still a little worried looking at the alley where the idlers disappeared, as if he is afraid that the world will return again.
"Don't be afraid, they won't dare to come again!" Qi Yunshu was extremely determined.
Hu folded his hands together, and recited "Amitabha" in his mouth, and he was also concerned about Qi Yunshu's injury.
"It's okay, it's just some skin trauma, just rub some medicine!"
Qi Yunshu has suffered a lot of injuries since she came here, and her body is not so bad.
Seeing that she said easily, Hu Shi nodded hurriedly, and Qi Yunshu said that he was going back to the inn, so as not to make Uncle Wen anxious.
It's just that as soon as she turned around, Hu Shi suddenly grabbed her sleeve and said a little hesitantly: "That...... Girl, I ......."
Qi Yunshu looked at her sideways, and Hu seemed to have something to say.
She realized something, and immediately offered to ask that she had just fought and was a little tired, so she could go to her house and sit down for a while.
"If the girl doesn't dislike it...... Come in! Hu hesitated, and finally sighed, turned sideways, and invited them in.
Her son immediately brought a pot of freshly boiled water, Qi Yunshu didn't smell the fragrance of tea, it must be ordinary boiled water.
Hu Shi cramped his hands, gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't the girl inquire about my family's Lao Nantou and Yingying before?" I, I tell you! ”
Qi Yunshu's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly replied to her!
At this point, she felt that everything she had done was not done in vain, and things really went in the direction she wanted.
"My old Nantou is an old boatman who has been on the river for many years, and has been responsible for miscellaneous work on the Caoyun officer's boat.
But in the great flood three months ago, the official boat where Lao Nantou was located capsized, and he fell into the water with those people, and they said that the river god was angry and ate them......
But the other boatmen who lived here said that the wind was high that day, and the flood was high, and if the official boat had not forced it out of the river, they would not have died! Woo......"
Hu Shi cried sadly when he talked about his sadness.
Qi Yunshu was sad when she heard this, she was still a bystander when she heard about it from Bowen, but now she was suddenly with the family of the bitter master, and she suddenly felt empathy, and the shock in her heart became more and more intense!
"What's going on with Aunt Hu's daughter Yingying?" The magpie spoke abruptly, Qi Yunshu wanted to stop her and give Hu Shi time to slow down a little more.
Hu Shi fell silent, and the youngest son beside her suddenly said: "Mother, they can help us, just tell them!" “
Hu Shi glanced at the little son who was holding him in his hand, as if he had found some sustenance and strength from him, and quickly cheered up and told her: "Yingying was ...... by them Woo...... They ...... alive."
"My sister was drowned alive by them, and they threw her into the river, saying that they wanted to fill the wrath of the river god."
Hearing this, Qi Yunshu was speechless for a while, what era is this, and there is still such a saying: "Do you believe it?" ”
"Chuzhou relies on water, and our people here have lived by the water for generations, and they don't believe in the mountain god, but they must believe in the river god." Hu's face was full of misery, so even if their family didn't believe it, what could they do?
"After Yingying was taken away, did the flood stop?" Qi Yunshu couldn't help but be curious, if people were taken away, but the flood did not stop, see how they ended!
"Yingying...... was taken away, and the three girls next door were gone, Zhang Jiadamei, Li Jia's second mother...... Dozens of girls, all of them fed the river god! Hu Shi cried as he spoke.
Qi Yunshu was stunned in place, dozens of girls, just between the streets and alleys of Chuzhou Mansion, there were dozens of heartbroken mothers who lost their daughters like Hu!
Her heart instantly became cold, as if the cold had come in advance, freezing her heart.
It turned out that they had already made a good calculation, they didn't need to explain to anyone at all, as long as the flood that would lead to the river did not stop every day, they would keep taking unmarried girls from the people in the city or the villages along the river until the flood stopped!
Her throat rolled slightly, but she couldn't say a word.
The silence was too long, and the youngest son Shushu couldn't help but grab the hem of her clothes with his dirty hands and cry and shouted: "Sister, sister, can you help us, my sister is not dead, is she not dead!" ’
Qi Yunshu's heart was too depressed, and there was a kind of panic that almost suffocated.
She had seen the murderous appearance of the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, and she had also seen the cruelty of corpses everywhere, but she couldn't imagine that the state capital near this capital city, which looked so prosperous and peaceful on the outside, would have such a fair and careless thing for human life, or in such an ignorant way!
"Isn't there anyone to stop it? What about the prefect here? It was as if she wanted to grasp at the last straw.
"Hateful prefects, they ...... They may be in the same group as the River Goddess, if it weren't for his secret permission, how dare the River Goddess ......"
Don't look at Shushu's age, but because of the successive departures of his family, his immature face was prematurely dyed with a touch of maturity, and there was even a hint of gloom in the corners of his eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, didn't Lord Liu say that he would find out for us, it won't be him, it won't be his!" Hu Shi has a different opinion!
Qi Yunshu was confused, the mother and son said differently, which made her lose her judgment for a while.
"Sister, you can help us, my eldest sister, she has always been kind, she won't die, isn't it, she is not even willing to step on ants to death on weekdays......" Shushu wiped the corners of his eyes, tears were already rolling in his eyes, but he couldn't bear it.
"Don't worry, if I don't know about this matter, it's fine, but now that I know, I will naturally find out!"
Qi Yunshu looked at Shushu and was quite clever, so he asked him if he knew the officials sent by the capital to supervise the affairs of Cao Yun some time ago.
Shushu tilted his head and thought for a while, just when Qi Yunshu thought that he didn't understand her words, or didn't know what she was talking about, Shushu said loudly: "I know, I saw it in Young Master Liu's yard!" ”
"Why, what the nobleman asked you is a big matter, you can't talk nonsense and delay the nobleman's affairs!" Hu was afraid that he would talk bad things.
But Shushu raised his little head and said confidently that he just knew, and he had seen it in Liu's house!
Qi Yunshu frowned slightly: "This Liu family is the Liu Governor's family?" Shushu nodded, saying that he was good friends with the young son of Governor Liu's house, and often went to Huitonghe to play together, and sometimes Young Master Liu would bring his entourage to play with them.
So he went to Liu's Mansion a few times, and it happened that he watched it that time, and heard that he was from the capital to investigate the matter of Tonghe, and he was worried about his father and sister, so he was very attentive to him.
"He was dressed in blue, he looked better than anyone I had ever met, and he spoke in a nice voice......" Shushu recalled earnestly.
"Where is he now?" Qi Yunshu felt that the person Shu Shu saw was Zhao Jing nine times out of ten, and couldn't help but get excited.
"The last time I saw him, he was injured, and I never saw him again!" The trees wilted all at once, like eggplants battered by frost in autumn.
Qi Yunshu's disappointed expression disappeared in a flash, thanked Shushu, and went out to the carriage.
Hu Shi took Shushu to send her, and Shushu asked her in a low voice if that person was a good person? If he finds him, will he be able to help them?
Qi Yunshu turned around and said seriously: "Of course! ”
Shushu regained his spirits and said that he was waiting for good news!
Qi Yunshu didn't want such a big child to take risks, and wanted to stop him, but Shushu stared at her and asked her age.
"I see my sister is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and I'm twelve!" The implication is that he is not much younger than her!
This sentence shocked Qi Yunshu and was still a little distressed when she went back, the reason why she looked down on Shushu was that he was shorter than ordinary peers, thin and small, and looked malnourished.
The magpies were very silent all the way, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they suddenly looked at Qi Yunshu with a choked voice, and begged pitifully: "Master, let's help them, it's so pitiful!" ”
Qi Yunshu snorted lightly, in fact, she also thought so in her heart, Shushu was only twelve years old, in modern times, he had just graduated from primary school and promoted to junior high school, but here, he first lost his father, and then lost his eldest sister, and only depended on Hu's mother.
Poor indeed!
"Young grandma, you're back, where are you going, has something happened?" Bowen waited at the door of the inn, and as soon as he saw her, the carriage immediately greeted her.
Qi Yunshu stepped forward to say hello: "I really encountered something on this trip!" ”
Bowen was a little surprised and asked her if there was any news of the young master.
Qi Yunshu shook her head: "This one is not available for the time being, but it must be related to this matter!" ”
As she spoke, she motioned for Bowen to enter the house, and as soon as the group entered the inn lobby, they heard the neighing of horses outside.
The two figures outside jumped down from the horse, neatly moved, the guy at the inn was very eye-catching, and when he saw his clothes, he knew that he was the rich master in his arms, and immediately greeted him warmly and asked them if they were playing sharp or staying in the hotel, but the two people were not in a hurry to pay attention to the inn guys, but looked at Qi Yunshu and the three of them and shouted to her:
"The girl in the blue shirt stays! What a fate! We met again! ”
Qi Yunshu looked back, and couldn't help but be shocked, it turned out that these two people were the brown-clothed men who had rescued her in the alley where the Hu family lived before.
