"So you're guessing those people aren't ordinary pirates? Eleven of the forty-three people were missing villagers, and it was the eleven villagers who went to the deep sea to dive for pearls, right? ”

Song Xiaochi guessed. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

"It's not just the eleven villagers who went down to the deep sea, and the rest didn't make it up alive."

Xie Yan said, "When we caught them, those eleven people didn't dare to say their identities, and they resisted the capture together with those real pirates, until they were all caught, and only one person had the audacity to say that he was not a pirate, but a villager who was captured, and he had not participated in the robbery, but was forced to go to the deep sea to dive pearls by those real pirates." ”

Song Xiaochi frowned, "They didn't escape?" Those villagers are pearl diving all year round, and the water is extremely powerful, and it may not be impossible to escape after going to the deep sea. ”

"They don't dare to escape, the pirates threaten their families, if one escapes, they will kill their whole family, even if the villagers die in the deep sea, they will follow their families, if they find a case of fraudulent death, the whole village will be implicated, so, where do they dare to think about escaping."

Xie Yan's words made Song Xiaochi think of another possibility, "Could it be ...... The missing colorful beads and seven-colored shellfish were all picked by the villagers who were robbed or forcibly captured by these bandits? ”

Xie Yan shook his head, "It's only partial." ”

Song Xiaochi thought about it, if all of them were robbed by the bandits, those who were officials did not have to be weak-minded, and found a lot of reasons to deal with the imperial court, and also used other things to make up for the taxes, they could directly cry to the imperial court, saying that the bandits in Maoyuan Mansion were rampant, and asked the imperial court to increase troops or give other weapons and suits that could help suppress bandits.

Therefore, the large reduction in the production of colorful beads and seven-color shellfish has a lot to do with the local parents and officials of Maoyuan Prefecture.

"So, that one can't even escape the prefect?" Song Xiaochi asked.

"Naturally, he can't escape, and he may not know about the bandits, and he doesn't even know if he participated."

Xie Yan narrowed his eyes and said.

"Did he collude with the pirates?" Song Xiaochi was surprised.

"Childe, girl, Madame's mother Guan came over, saying that Madame invited the two of you to go to the house."

As the two were talking, Mu Zuo reported outside the door.

"Yo he, go for a snack, eat a snack!"

Xie Yan and Song Xiaochi hadn't spoken yet, and the Xuanniao, who had been standing by the window with one foot and combing a black feather, flew up with a flutter, hovering over the room while screaming happily.

There is a chef in Qufu who is good at making dim sum, and the dim sum he makes is not only good-looking, but also more delicious, which is very much the appetite of Xuanniao, although Xuanniao has always been by Xie Yan's side, that is Liuhyun Zhenjun's order, and now although Liuhyun Zhenjun is not here, Xuanniao often mutters Liuhyun Zhenjun's small words, but he doesn't dare to really go against Liuhyun Zhenjun's meaning.

However, Xuan Niao is in Xie Yanxin in Xiaochi, always thinking about coming back from the guard with no food and no high bed soft pillows, it is best to go to Qufu from time to time, eat some delicious snacks, and then follow Song Xiaochi to walk around the city and outside the city every day, enjoy and enjoy the beautiful scenery, such a day is much more comfortable and beautiful than following Xie Yan, either exposed to the sun or impacted by the waves, but it is ...... No.

But now that I can finally go to Qufu, Xuanniao's current requirements have been lowered with reality.

Xie Yan glanced at it and teased it, "If I say I won't take you there now, will you scratch my face?"

"Hmph, not only will I scratch your face, but I will also scratch your clothes and let you go out in a beggar's suit!" Xuanniao stared at a pair of black bean eyes and said cruel words, as if as long as Xie Yan said one more word, it would rush over.

Xie Yan shook his head, ignored it, and said to Song Xiaochi, "Let's go."

It turned out that Jiang heard Qu Jing say that Xie Yan not only came back, but also made great contributions, and couldn't wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, so he immediately asked the two to come over.

"Ah Yan, now that you have finally come back and been promoted again, this pro has to be decided."

Jiang Shi looked at Xie Yan, then at Song Xiaochi, and looked at the two with a smile on his face.

Xie Yan looked at Song Xiaochi, and saw that she lowered her head, but the back of her neck was slowly dyed crimson, knowing that she was shy, he gently pulled her sleeve with his fingers, although it was just a simple action, but Song Xiaochi knew what he meant.

Xie Yan slammed towards the Jiang family, "It's up to my aunt to make the decision, and I'm bothered by my aunt." ”

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xie Yan and Song Xiaochi naturally spent it in Qufu, eating moon cakes and admiring the moon in Qufu at night, looking up at the bright moon under the canopy, Song Xiaochi gradually became obsessed.

Father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, and Brother Mao, they should also be admiring the moon at this moment!

She hoped that this would mean that they would at least have a stable life.

In the following days, the weather gradually turned cooler, but Jiang's mood became more and more hot.

"How can I have both the feeling of marrying a daughter-in-law and the feeling of marrying a daughter-in-law, I have to be confused by myself, I don't know whether to marry a daughter-in-law or a daughter-in-law."

Jiang Shi told Qu Jing about his troubles, Qu Jing looked at her helplessly, "You are like this now, what are you going to do when Sister Shu gets married and Brother Hui marries his daughter-in-law?" ”

Jiang Shi was silent, and only after a while did he say, "Do you think Brother Hui can marry a daughter-in-law?"

"Why not?" Qu Jing immediately said, "How can my son not be able to marry a daughter-in-law, don't think about it, Brother Hui is still young, we continue to search for famous doctors, and we can always be cured." ”

Jiang shook his head, "I don't have much hope, I went back to my parents' house last year, and my eldest brother helped find the best doctor Wang Shenyi who is best at removing fetal poison, and he said that Brother Hui'er fetal poison is blazing, and he is helpless, so let's be prepared for the rest of his life." ”

Qu Jing comforted her and said: "Isn't there only one divine doctor in this world, not the king divine doctor, isn't there another thousand medicine divine doctor?" It is said that the medical skills of the Thousand Medicine Divine Doctor are much better than that of the Wang Divine Doctor, and the Wang God cannot cure Brother Hui'er's illness, and the Thousand Medicine Divine Doctor will definitely be able to cure it. ”

"But that Thousand Medicine Divine Doctor has no fixed place, I heard that he never calls himself a divine doctor, and every time he sees a doctor, he only acts as a traveling doctor, so how can we find him, do we have to find all the traveling doctors in the world to try?"

Jiang is in a low mood, her son can't speak, this is a scar on her heart, even if she encounters something happy, as long as she thinks of this, she can't be happy.

Qu Jing took her into his arms, patted her shoulder, and comforted: "There is no endless road, you will always find it, there is always no shortage of things in this world that break through the iron shoes and have nowhere to find them, and it takes no effort to get them, if Brother Hui'er's luck comes, it can't be stopped."
