Chapter 22 The grass is a coward
Late at night, Zhao Haitang tiptoed back to the room, for fear of alarming the maid who was keeping vigil on the side. On his body, Zhao Haitang is still wearing the coat of Lei Du, although the weather outside is not cold at all.
Zhao Haitang opened the closet and put Lei Du's clothes at the bottom. She is now in Zhao Mansion, and everyone is staring at her every word and deed, if this man's clothes are seen by someone with a heart, I am afraid that it will be complicated again.
Thinking of this, Zhao Haitang couldn't help but tug on the collar of the Internet. Lei Du's actions just now were too presumptuous,
"Tang'er, tell me, why did you persuade me to leave the Shen Mansion?"
Lei Du's eyes were cold, and the pleasant face just now disappeared without a trace.
"This ...... You don't have to ask for a reason, just leave early. ”
Zhao Haitang took two steps back, until he was facing the big tree behind him, and there was no way to retreat.
"Ahh What do you do, let it go! ”
Lei Du imprisoned Zhao Haitang in his arms, lowered his head, and bit her neck hard. Zhao Haitang originally had delicate skin, but after this mouthful, she gasped for cold air in pain.
"Don't say such things in the future, you don't want to leave me!"
Originally, when he heard Zhao Haitang's words that day, he felt uncomfortable and couldn't sleep for half a night, but he originally thought about fulfilling her and protecting her, as long as she was happy. can look at what Shen Zhi did, he really doesn't think that Shen Zhi is her beloved, in this case, he doesn't worry about who this little girl entrusts, it is better for him to protect her and spoil her.
"I'm married."
Zhao Haitang pushed Lei Du away with some shame, she covered her neck, her face flushed.
"I know, you don't have to remind me."
Lei Du's tone was much colder than just now. Every time he thinks about this incident, his intestines and stomach turn green with regret. If he could have recognized it earlier and understood his intentions, he would definitely not let Zhao Haitang marry into the Shen Mansion!
"Miss, what are you doing standing by the bed?"
Zhao Haitang was stunned, and Liu's mother didn't know when she had a bright light and had already walked in.
"Ah, nothing, what's wrong?"
Zhao Haitang subconsciously put away the brocade box, if there was nothing important, Liu's mother would definitely not light the lamp here late at night.
"It's Miss Table, I heard that Miss Table's head disease was committed, and the pain was terrible, and the old general announced the imperial doctor to enter the house overnight. Miss, would you like to take a look? ”
Liu's mother bent down and lit the oil lamp on the table. The corners of Zhao Haitang's mouth raised slightly, and when he came back, he just thought about the Qin family, but he forgot about Qin Qinglian.
Come to think of it, this Qin Qinglian can also be regarded as a ruthless character, she has no father and mother since she was a child, an orphan girl, she has followed the Qin family since she was a child, raised in Zhao Mansion, and sent people under the fence, Zhao Haitang was stubborn when she was young, and she was not less angry. But she, no matter what grievances she suffered, she always looked like she was smiling, and Sister Zhao had never blushed with her before and after Sister Zhao.
In the previous life, the Qin family held the economic lifeline of the Zhao family in his hands, and for the marriage of his niece, he worked hard, and soon after Zhao Haitang married into the Shen Mansion that year, the Qin family put on a spring banquet vigorously, ostensibly to enjoy the flowers and row, in fact, it was for Qin Qinglian to choose a husband. The people who received the post were all famous families, and this husband also chose an excellent son-in-law.
In the past few days, the whole Zhao Mansion has been busy saving Zhao Ziwei, but they have paid a lot less attention to the second lady of the Zhao family.
"Don't go, since my father has hired a doctor, what am I going to do."
She couldn't sleep in the first half of the night, and now she was sleepy, and where did she have the leisure to care if she had a headache or not.
The rooster crowed three times, Zhao Haitang stretched his waist beautifully, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Zhao Zhen with a black face, holding the black box sent yesterday, waiting at the door.
"Father?"
Zhao Haitang traveled lightly, and did not wear any gold and silver, but was dressed as a man. With a spear in his hand, he looks like a general.
"You ......"
Zhao Zhen was a little distracted for a while, Zhao Haitang was like her mother, but now that she is wearing armor, she really looks like she accompanied him in his career as a horse.
"Father, who are you?"
Behind Zhao Zhen, there were two small teams of elite soldiers, all of them fully armed, but they looked like they were going to fight.
"I am a dignified general's mansion, how can I let Caokou take care of it, raising money is just for the safety of Wei'er, but I can't discount the prestige of the general's mansion."
Zhao Zhen's words were sonorous and powerful, and behind Zhao Zhen, the Qin family led Qin Qinglian and stared at Zhao Haitang, but he looked a little proud.
"Father, Haitang thinks it can't be. Send a concubine to an An Sheji, and I don't know where to use the general. This left is just two little thieves, after we rescued Ziwei, the official arrested, now after all, it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the father and the commander wantonly mobilized troops, I am afraid that it will be the truth. ”
As Zhao Haitang spoke, he kept meowing at the Qin family, his father was a bloody person, and his ears were soft, this Qin family was taken out of 10 million taels of silver for nothing, and he was unwilling, he must try his best to save this money, come to think of it, this method of mobilizing troops is mostly thought out by the Qin family.
"This ......"
Zhao Zhen was a little hesitant, yesterday morning, there were indeed people who played this book to join him, the matter was just a trivial matter, saying that when he was in disaster relief and poverty relief a year ago, the equipment tent he received from the quartermaster department was not reported in advance. This matter is a bit sensitive, whether it is big or not, and it is not small to say that it is not small, after all, he also knows a little bit about the fear of the military power in his hands today.
"As a general, can't you even deal with a few petty thieves? Sister Tang'er said that she was too worried. ”
Seeing that Zhao Zhen was hesitating, the Qin clan hurriedly stepped forward.
"Whether you worry too much, my father knows best. Father, since the kidnappers asked me to go by name, why don't you let me take the team of house slaves with me. Haitang promises that she will bring Ziwei back! ”
Zhao Haitang emphasized the word domestic slave, not wanting to leave a little handle.
"You have a daughter's family, how can you rest assured as a father?"
Zhao Zhen knew that his daughter's words were all about him, but he definitely couldn't put his daughter in danger just because he saved his son.
"Don't worry, my daughter is fine."
As if to prove something, Zhao Haitang deliberately raised the spear in his hand, looking majestic.
"Okay, but the house slave can't do it, let Adjutant Li be with you."
Zhao Haitang knew that Zhao Zhen couldn't rest assured of her, so he didn't say anything, took the brocade box, and rode away.
At the foot of the mountain, Zhao Haitang and his entourage parked their horses, and at noon, several people set up a tea shed and rested for a while. The reason why Zhao Haitang chose this place was because it was located in a remote area, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"Big brother, someone has come down from the mountain."
On the mountain, Gu Jingzhan's little brother, carrying a kettle in his hand, appeared at the entrance of the cave with a ghostly head.
"Let me go, my father and sister won't let you go!"
Although Zhao Ziwei was blindfolded, his hearing was indeed excellent, and he really listened to the words of the little brother just now.
"Stop talking nonsense, and shout again, Lao Tzu will kill you now!"
Gu Jingzhan was not polite, he directly hit the back of Zhao Ziwei's neck is palm, and Zhao Ziwei directly rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Do you think you'll live long? Say so much to his face! ”
Gu Jingzhan was angry, if it wasn't for his own mistake, he fell for Zhao Haitang, not only lost all the money in his hand, but also was put in prison, took the handle, and now he was forced to kidnap this wealthy son, and he became a criminal directly from a mountain bandit.
"Big brother, didn't Miss Zhao say it, this order is done, we can get one million taels, and when the time comes, we can ask for a wife and wash our hands."
That little brother, in fact, is very simple-minded, no one wanted to go up the mountain and fall into the grass at the beginning, but he was forced by life and had to do it.
"Cuckoo...... Cuckoo ......"
Outside the cave, there was a sudden cuckoo call, and when Gu Jingzhan heard it, his eyes lit up.
"You go to the cave and keep an eye on him, and I'll come when I go."
Gu Jingzhan patted the soil on his body, took a big stride, and walked out.
He ...... How's it going? ”
Zhao Haitang took advantage of Adjutant Li's rest and sneaked up. After all, there are only two of them on the mountain, and if there is a real fight, Gu Jingzhan will inevitably be caught.
"Don't worry, it's good to eat and drink."
Gu Jingzhan didn't have any kindness towards Zhao Haitang, after all, it was difficult for anyone to have a good face for those who pit themselves.
"This is your reward, take it and leave quickly, and give him to me."
Zhao Haitang took out a million silver ticket from his arms and put it in Gu Jingzhan's hand. Gu Jingzhan hesitated for a moment, but still accepted it.
"Miss Zhao......"
"This is not the place to speak, I know that you are angry with me in your heart, if you want to know the origin, Huixian Lou will be in three days. See you or leave you. ”
This is not Zhao Haitang's prevarication, after all, she has limited time.
"Okay, let's take my leave."
Gu Jingzhan saw that Zhao Haitang didn't come alone, there seemed to be two people tied behind him, he didn't want to fall into the hands of the government, so he didn't dwell on anything anymore, took the silver ticket, called the little brother, and went down the mountain from the path.
"Just put them here."
Zhao Haitang beckoned to the two little servants behind him, these two people were the laborers she specially wanted to come when she saw Lei Du yesterday, after all, this kind of back-to-back work, Liu's mother really can't do it, and what about the other people in Zhao's mansion, she is not at ease.
"Order!"
The two servants let go of their men and loosened the ropes that bound them. Zhao Haitang was slightly attached and stuffed two pills into their mouths.
These two pills were carefully configured by her, and the time was calculated, just now Boss Du had already shown signs of awakening, plus this medicine, it would wake up in about half an hour, at that time, she just took Adjutant Li up the mountain, and then he was the murderer who kidnapped Zhao Ziwei, and he was speechless.
"You two, watch from the mouth of the cave and don't let anyone find out."
Zhao Haitang explained two sentences, didn't care about anything else, threw up the horsewhip in his hand, and walked away. Along the way, smoke rose everywhere.
