Xiao Han and Hongxiu found a secluded place and quietly waited for the master's lecture to end.

After the schoolwork was over, the master walked out, and naturally saw Xiao Han waiting on the side, bowed down and saluted him: "The grass people have seen the county lord. ”

Xiao Han said softly: "Sir, please get up, don't let go and sit down." ”

The master is middle-aged, although he is dressed shabby, but he has his own arrogant bones, even in the face of royal relatives like Xiao Han, he is neither humble nor arrogant, which is also what Xiao Han appreciated the most at the beginning.

"I wonder what the county lord wants to ask the grass people?" Madame asked.

Xiao Han smiled lightly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask the master how these children's studies have been during this time." ”

The master looked clear and said dutifully: "Although these students can't read big words, they are all diligent and studious. It's just that some of them are already old, and I'm afraid they don't have much interest. ”

This result was also expected by Xiao Han, she said lightly: "Whether they can learn something depends on their personal ability, and Mr. only disciplines them." ”

As soon as the master heard it, he understood the meaning of the county lord's words, and nodded thoughtfully: "The grass people and the county lord think the same, and the grass people admire the county lord very much and can have such a kind heart. ”

"Mr. is too famous, it's not too early, Mr. should rest early." Xiao Han saw Lu Yi come out and was about to end this conversation.

The master was also very discerning, so naturally he would not stay any longer, but turned around and went back to his own residence.

This master is trapped by life, and this small courtyard happens to have a place to live, and the location is not bad in the capital.

Lu Yi and the others, in order to show respect, even gave up a separate small courtyard for this master to live in.

In addition, Xiao Han's moon silver is not low, and there will be silver rewards occasionally during the New Year's holidays, so when this master saw Xiao Han, he was still relatively peaceful, and he didn't put on that arrogant look.

Lu Yi had actually come out a long time ago, but when he saw that the county lord was talking to the master, he found a place and stood quietly.

It wasn't until after the master left that he stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "The grass people greet the county lord." ”

Xiao Han hurriedly waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite: "Between you and me, there is no need to be so polite." I heard Hongxiu say, you went to the house to find me yesterday, you must have something to discuss, right? ”

When Lu Yi heard this, he looked a little embarrassed, and he couldn't speak.

Xiao Han said softly: "You don't have to worry, even if there is anything difficult to do, you can tell me." ”

In the end, Lu Yi gritted his teeth, knelt down in front of Xiao Han and said, "The grass people know that the county lord has taken in us people, and they are already kind. It stands to reason that the grass people should be content, but the grass people are really powerless about this matter, so they have to ask the county lord for help. As long as the county lord is willing to help, Lu Yi will be a cow and a horse in the future, and he will also repay the county lord's kindness. ”

When Xiao Han heard this, she felt that if Lu Yi could say this, the matter must be not small, she patiently comforted: "Don't worry, tell me first, what happened?" ”

When Lu Yi calmed down, from his narration, Xiao Han finally figured out what happened.

A few days ago, Lu Yi took one of the girls, Xiaoshuang, to buy things outside, Xiaoshuang was fourteen years old, and she was originally very thin because she couldn't eat enough.

Since they took refuge in Xiao Han, they have never been hungry, and when they eat well, Xiaoshuang has become slim like catkins budding. In addition, she began to know how to dress up, although Xiaoshuang is not a peerless beauty who captivates the country and the city, but she can also be regarded as a small jasper.

It was also Xiaoshuang's appearance that caused them trouble.

They were buying rice at the rice shop, and when they came out, Xiaoshuang happened to be loaded with a rich boy, who just scolded at first. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Yi hurriedly pulled Xiaoshuang to apologize.

Who would have thought that as soon as the rich boy saw Xiaoshuang young and beautiful, he became lustful. It is not said that Xiaoshuang injured him, and asked them to pay him a hundred taels of silver, so that this matter can pass.

Although Lu Yi and the others have a little silver in their hands, they can't save much after removing their daily expenses. One hundred taels of silver was an astronomical amount to them.

As soon as the rich boy heard that they couldn't get it, he changed his proposal, saying that he would let Xiaoshuang be his concubine, so that he would no longer pursue the matter of hurting him, and would give them fifty taels of silver, which was considered a dowry.

Of course, Lu Yi would not agree to such an unreasonable request, but unfortunately the other party was overwhelmed at that time, and he did not protect Xiaoshuang, so he could only watch Xiaoshuang being taken away. The rich boy threw down fifty taels of silver with contempt in his eyes and left.

As soon as this happened, he went to the county lord's mansion to ask her for help, but he learned that the county lord was not suitable to see guests.

After understanding what was going on, Xiao Han looked at Hongxiu with a rather reproachful look. Although I know that Hongxiu is conscientious, this involves a woman's reputation and chastity.

Calculating the time, more than a day has passed, and what will happen to this girl named Xiaoshuang can be imagined.

Hongxiu hurriedly knelt down and said: "It's all the slave's fault, it's the slave maid who didn't ask the truth of the matter at the beginning, and asked the master to punish him." ”

Xiao Han sighed: "You can't be blamed for this, but I still fined him for three months to set an example." ”

"Slave and maid, thank you, Lord County." Hongxiu kowtowed and replied.

Then Xiao Han turned around and asked Lu Yi: "Then does Lu Gongzi know who the rich son's surname is and where he lives?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Yi understood that the county lord agreed to help in this matter, and his expression was finally relieved, and he hurriedly said: "Back to the county lord, after they left, the grass people specially inquired, that person's surname is Su, his name is Su Yong, and his family lives in Qinglongfang, and the villain knows where it is, so he can take the county lord over." ”

Hearing the name and address, Xiao Han was surprised, but she wasn't sure if her guess was correct.

She said to Hongxiu: "Prepare the carriage and go to the place that Lu Gongzi said." ”

According to Lu Yi's instructions, the carriage stopped at Qinglongfang, and when he saw that the door plaque on it reads - Su Mansion, Xiao Han showed a sneer.

She said how could it be so coincidental, this person is surnamed Su, and his relationship is really related to the Su family.

If she remembers correctly, the Su family does have a person named Su Yong, but it is not the heir of the Su family in the capital, but a branch of the Su family in his hometown.

And this Su Yong, according to his seniority, he has to call the current head of the Su family a cousin. It is said that the family suffered a disaster, and was sent to the capital Su Mansion since he was a child, and has been raised under the knees of the old woman Su, and is very favored.

Xiao Han was a direct ride in the carriage of the county lord's mansion, and the carriage was engraved with an emblem representing the status of the royal family. When the subordinate of the gatekeeper of the Su Mansion saw it, he immediately greeted him: "Isn't it a distinguished guest?" ”

After Hongxiu got out of the carriage, she took out a jade pendant, which was given by the first emperor after Xiao Han was born and after he got on the jade plate of the clan, which was only the treatment that only the royal prince and princess were born.

When the subordinates saw it, they didn't dare to slack off, and immediately entered the house to inform the master's house. Soon the old lady of Sufu led the female dependents out: "The old man has seen the county lord, please say hello to the county lord." ”

After Xiao Han got out of the carriage, he said with a cold face: "Old Madam Su, please get up, this county lord can't afford your big gift!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the old woman Su 'chuckled' in her heart, and she didn't understand how to provoke this Pingle County Lord, who was in the limelight and was favored by the emperor.

Considering the status of the Su family, Xiao Han didn't plan to embarrass the Su family outside, and after the group moved to the living room, Old Madam Su asked with sincere fear: "Dare to ask the county lord this time, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Xiao Han sat in the main seat, with Hongxiu and Cuiwei standing behind him, followed by a shabby-dressed Lu Yi.

The people of Su Mansion naturally saw Lu Yi, but they couldn't understand why the noble county lord would take such a person, or with an attitude of asking for guilt.

Xiao Han sneered: "Lu Yi, you come to tell everyone in Su Mansion what happened before, you don't have to be afraid of anything, tell the truth, there is something that the county lord covers!" ”

As soon as she heard about 'yesterday', a trace of panic flashed on Mrs. Su's face, Lu Yi repeated the previous words again with an angry face, and took out the fifty taels of silver and put it on the table: "I just want to bring back Xiaoshuang, we don't want your silver!" These words were like a slap in the face of all the masters of Su Mansion.

Xiao Han said coldly: "I don't know the lord of this county, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, someone dares to rob the people's daughter, presumably after the emperor's uncle heard about it, he couldn't get around this person!" ”

As soon as she heard this, Old Madam Su was sincerely frightened and said: "The county lord is angry, but he is just a people's daughter, and this matter is worth causing trouble to His Majesty." Yong'er also said that she would accept that girl as a concubine, and she would not be treated badly. ”

Hearing Old Madam Su say this, Lu Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes stared at Old Madam Su with resentment. Mrs. Su's human rights should be invisible, such a humble untouchable, for the deep-rooted family, there is no threat at all.

Old Madam Su naturally didn't take his thoughts to heart, just like she didn't care about what kind of treatment the woman Su Yong brought back would suffer.

Xiao Han obviously looked down on Mrs. Su's behavior, and she didn't talk nonsense with Mrs. Su, and asked directly: "Xiaoshuang is my person, I have to see her right now, otherwise the county lord can tell you directly, and you will bear the consequences!" ”

When Mrs. Su heard this, she was also very surprised, and before she could reply, a fat young man in his early twenties walked in, and when he saw Xiao Han sitting in a high position, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and he was just about to speak, but he was interrupted by Mrs. Su: "Yong'er, I've seen Lord Pingle soon!" ”

As soon as he heard that the beauty in front of him was actually the 'county lord', Su Yong didn't dare to continue staring, but saluted respectfully: "Grass people Su Yong, I have seen the county lord of Pingle, please say hello to the county lord." ”

Xiao Han said coldly: "You came just in time, let's say, where is the woman you brought back yesterday?" ”

When Su Yong heard this, he also let out a 'chuckle' in his heart, and hurriedly looked at Mrs. Su on the side, and Mrs. Su motioned to him with her eyes not to talk nonsense.

As soon as Su Yong looked up and saw Lu Yi, he understood that he was afraid that he would kick the iron plate, but with Mrs. Su as his backing, he was not very afraid. He said confidently: "Since I 'married' and came back as a concubine, I naturally have already rounded up." ”

Hearing this, Lu Yi couldn't help but say angrily: "You brute, I'm going to kill you!" As he spoke, he was about to rush up and hit Su Yong.

Xiao Han looked indifferent and didn't stop it at all, although she had already guessed this result, but when she heard Su Yong say it himself, her heart was still full of anger. Therefore, she will not stop Lu Yi.

Xiao Han didn't speak, and the master of the Su Mansion naturally didn't dare to order his subordinates to pull him away, so he could only watch Lu Yi beat Su Yong into a pig's head with one punch.

Su Yong, who was bloated, was naturally not Lu Yi's opponent, he screamed again and again when he was beaten, and shouted loudly: "Grandma, please save me, let the subordinates pull this untouchable away!" ”

In the end, Old Madam Su couldn't bear to say: "County Lord, you have also seen that Yong'er has been beaten like this, and you are also angry." Besides, that woman has already had a round house with Yong'er, so she is naturally Yong'er's person, it's a big deal that our Su Mansion will give more money to that woman's family, do you think this will work? ”

Xiao Han laughed angrily: "What Mrs. Su said, could it be that the matter of 'robbing people's daughters' is not planned to be settled in a few words?" I don't care about anything else, I want to see people first! ”

Xiao Han got up, and then looked at Mrs. Su: "Let's go, please ask Mrs. Su to lead the way!" ”

Under the leadership of Su Yong, the group came to Su Yong's courtyard.

The subordinates of Su Mansion were cleaning, and they saw a long-haired woman wrapped in a quilt, and her exposed snow-white arms were full of blood, and the woman hung her head without any reaction.

As soon as Old Madam Su saw this situation, she knew that she was going to suffer, and before she could speak, Xiao Han was furious, and her voice was as cold as ice: "Is the secret guard here?" ”

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of everyone: "The subordinates are here." ”

Xiao Han instructed: "Go, take this woman back to the county lord's mansion, and ask Lang Zhong in the mansion to take a good look." If Lang Zhong can't see it, let Steward Liu go to ask for a doctor! Be sure to cure it! ”

As soon as they heard that Pingle County was mainly asking for a doctor for this civilian woman, everyone in Su Mansion knew in their hearts that this matter might not be good.

Xiao Han looked at the eyes of everyone in Su Mansion with a murderous aura, and she sneered: "Su Mansion has really taught a good son, not to mention robbing the people's daughters, and also torturing people to the point of dying, once this matter spreads, I am afraid that the century-old foundation of your Su family will be ruined!" ”

Old Madam Su naturally understood how powerful it was, and she didn't dare to put on a score, so she hurriedly said: "What are you going to do, county lord, the old body will listen to you." ”

"What do I want to do? Su Yong violated the law, everything was naturally handled by the Criminal Department, what does it have to do with the county lord? Hongxiu, go to Jingzhao Mansion and invite Lord Jingzhao Yin over, just say that the county lord is invited here, by the way, don't forget to ask him to bring more people. Xiao Han commanded.

"No." Hongxiu didn't dare to delay and left in a hurry.

"This..."Old Madam Su looked anxious, and hurriedly knelt down to intercede for Su Yong: "County Lord, the old body begs you to let Yong'er go." In the future, the old body will definitely restrain him strictly, and what happened today will never occur. As for the girl's matter, you make a request, and the old body will definitely find a way. ”

Mrs. Su behind her finally couldn't stand it anymore, and she couldn't care about her identity, so she hurriedly said: "Mother, what do you say, my cousin made a mistake, so he will naturally be punished!" ”
