Chapter 716: Floating Corpses in the River

The army set off again and headed for the border city!

This road is still day and night, and Xiaoxing sleeps at night!

Shutong is bored, and most of the time he hides in the space!

On this day, the team came to a large river, and because of the excessive weight of the carriages and horses, the speed of crossing the bridge slowed down!

The frame of Shutong stopped, and the second master came over, "The female king wants to cross the river in front, and she must pass one by one, and she has to wait for a while, this is the sweet persimmon newly picked by the slave, you have a taste!" ”

Shutong saw Hongxia holding a small bamboo basket, which was a fist-sized, yellow persimmon!

The washing is clean, and some of them have water droplets!

Hongxia used a clean handkerchief to wipe off the water droplets on the surface of the persimmon and sent it to her!

Shu Tong chuckled, "You can eat it too!" ”

Pick it up, bite into it, it's sweet and crunchy, it tastes good!

Hongxia was used to serving, knowing that the master was informal, so she unceremoniously took a bite and nodded again and again.

"This persimmon is sweet and crisp, not as bitter as I have eaten before!"

This reminder, Shu Tong suddenly remembered that he had picked this kind of in the deep mountains and wild forests, looking at Huang Cancan, it was indeed very astringent to take a bite!

At the moment, I wondered, "I heard that the newly picked persimmons need to be processed first, don't you need this?" ”

Outside the car window, the second master smiled and said, "It also depends on the variety, the persimmon trees in the north are extremely tall, as long as they are ripe, you can eat them when they are picked!" ”

"Look, master, this one was picked up in front of you!"

Hongxia rolled up the curtains, looked at it from afar, and sure enough, there were several very tall persimmon trees on the side of the official road.

The leaves have fallen, but the tall branches are hanging, orange-red persimmons, which look very festive!

"You've grown so tall!"

The second master smiled, "Fortunately, our team has good light skills, and the slave let people pick it up and taste it, and it is sweet and crispy before offering it to the master!" ”

"It's good!" Shutong took another one, sweet and crunchy!

Listening to her praise, the second master was beautiful, and he glanced at his subordinates, and immediately there were two agile guards, carrying small bamboo baskets on their backs, and climbing up the tree, ready to take off all those on the top of the tree!

The two of them were on the top of the trembling treetops, their movements were agile, and they soon finished picking all the persimmons, and were about to come down, when suddenly someone exclaimed, "There are people in the water!" ”

There are national teachers, emperors and princes and important ministers on this trip, and naturally a large team of people and horses are indispensable to protect them, and clear the road along the way, in order to prevent assassins!

The guards went up to a high place to pick persimmons, only to see someone floating on the surface of the river upstream!

Hearing the exclamation, someone immediately went over to check, and others also raised their vigilance!

Dredging on persimmons and looking out!

"I'll go check the situation!" The second master hurriedly ran over!

After a cup of tea, he came back breathlessly, "Master! It's time to cross the bridge! ”

The carriage walked slowly, and went to the bluestone slab bridge on the river, and when Dredging Tong looked at it, there was a floating corpse on the water, which was dragged ashore by the soldiers!

"It's a river drifter, it looks like a young woman, and I don't know if I threw myself into the water or fell into the water!" Second, the master knows that the master loves gossip!

Shu Tong glanced at it, "That person is still alive!" ”

The second master was stunned, "I'll take a look!" "Throw your legs and run over there!

Shutong retracted his gaze and continued to eat persimmons!

The carriage crossed the bridge and stopped in an open area in front of it!

Hongxia's heart itched, "The master's eyes are really smart, you can see whether she is dead or alive from such a distance, and I don't know why she floated here!" ”

"Master, persimmons should not be eaten more!"

Seeing that Shutong ate seven or eight in one go, Hongxia persuaded, "Why don't we go down for a walk, the carriage will be bored after sitting for a long time!" ”

After Shutong finished eating the one in his hand, he wiped his hands with a wet towel, "Then let's go down and have a look!" ”

Because of the long waiting time to cross the bridge, many people came down to move, after all, it was tiring to ride in a carriage for a long time!

Seeing that the national teacher came down, someone wanted to come over to talk, but the second master ran panting!

"People are really alive, but they are seriously injured, and they look miserable!"

Hongxia's eyes were shining, "Where?" The master wants to see it! ”

The second master was a little nervous, and he had already guessed the master's thoughts, "I'll be here soon!" ”

Hengxuan has received many reports in the capital, and the eldest princess likes to join in the fun, attracting many people to follow and watch the fun!

This time I met, he also came to see the fun!

Someone has already arranged a chair under the tree, and I respectfully ask the national teacher and His Majesty, as well as all the nobles, to rest for the time being!

Fished out the dying wounded woman in the water, she didn't look like an assassin, and the princess's mansion proudly arranged for the guards to send people over!

Two grandmothers, half-clinging, half-dragging a young woman, presumably soaked and wrapped in an old cloak.

"Qi Qi National Teacher, Your Majesty! This woman seems to have been beaten by someone, and she fell into a coma after a miscarriage! ”

It was the accompanying imperial physician who spoke, "Xia Guan has just checked it and bandaged it simply!" ”

After sending the person to the national teacher, it was natural to make her sober, and the second master reminded the imperial doctor in advance, not only poured ginseng soup on the injured person, but also pricked a few injections to cheer people up!

The woman began to look blank, and when she realized that she had been rescued, she cried bitterly!

After only two sentences, someone drank to make her quiet, and carefully reminded that if there is a grievance, there will be a noble person to make the decision for her!

Only then did the woman cheer up, and she was helped to kneel down and kowtow, "Thank you for saving your life!" ”

There was a female king, and the second master unceremoniously squeezed the general manager aside and cleared his throat.

"People who kneel, why did they fall into the water? If you have any grievances, just say it, my master will make the decision for you! ”

Although the woman did not know these people, she did not dare to look at them when she saw that they were all richly dressed.

Guessing that he had really met a nobleman, he kowtowed and cried!

"The little woman's surname is Huang, her parents have passed away, and before her father died, he entrusted me and the family property to my fiancΓ©'s family!"

"The Su family only has a mother and son, treat me well! My mother-in-law taught me how to spin and weave! Su Dalang was gentle and polite to me! ”

"After the expiration of the filial piety period of the parents, under the witness of the mother-in-law, they married Su Dalang, the little woman was trained in the court, and after getting married, she was filial to her mother-in-law, and she served her husband, and she did not dare to slack off when she worked every day!"

"Half a year ago, my husband went to Beijing to take the exam, and after he left, the little woman found out that she was pregnant, and her mother-in-law was also very happy! A month ago, I received a message from my husband that he was admitted to the Jinshi and wanted to send someone to pick up the whole family to Beijing for a reunion! ”

"The little woman secretly rejoiced and offered incense before her parents' spirits to thank them for their blessings!"

"Who knew that after a night, everyone's faces changed, and my mother-in-law broke into the room and scolded me for not abiding by women's morals, carrying a seed of sin, and wanting to divorce my wife on behalf of my son!"

"How can a little woman do this, who does her duty and never dares to take more than half a step? I repeatedly defended myself, but my mother-in-law didn't listen and beat me! ”

"Pity me for being alone, and I have no family to come out, I was beaten unconscious, and I woke up to find that I was wrapped in a broken mat and dragged to the mountains!"

She cried every line of words, she really cried blood every word, and she was moved when she heard it!

"My mother-in-law thought I was dead, and arranged for his brother to bury me, and when I saw that I still had a breath, my uncle wanted to beat me to death with a hoe, and I was full of grievances, how could I die!"

"Struggling to escape, unfortunately fell off the cliff and fell into the water, I thought it would be difficult to escape death, but I didn't expect my father and mother to be blessed by the spirit of heaven, so that I had to meet a noble person to save me and escape from death!"
