Cheng Ziyu thought about it, stepped forward and opened the door, startling Xia Wei and the others.

"Someone!"

"What does the county lord command?" The maid outside the door smiled softly and falsely, and quickly entered the house and closed the door.

But just at that moment, Cheng Ziyu also noticed that there were a few maids standing outside the door, and at the end of the aisle, there were many sturdy men on patrol.

I can't see it clearly, but from the posture of holding my waist with one hand, I should have worn a weapon.

She lamented in her heart, in such a situation, unless the other party allowed it, she would not be able to leave this ship at all, and she would not be able to leave this sea area at all...... You can't just wait, can you?

"Go and get your master!"

"Go back to the county master, the master is not on the ship."

"Did you leave, or didn't you come up at all?"

"No, no."

Cheng Ziyu snorted. What does it mean not to be there? This servant didn't answer her at all, did she?

"Then please come over to the stewards!"

"Stewards don't ......"

"Let the man in the dark green silk robe who beckoned us aboard the boat before!" Cheng Ziyu didn't quite understand why these people were so difficult to communicate. What's the point of hanging them here?

"That one is also busy ......"

"Then find someone who can call the shots!"

"The county lord, please don't ...... for a while"

Cheng Ziyu's patience has reached its limit.

"Smack"!

She directly threw the rosewood box sent by the "master" into the charcoal basin......

The maid was so frightened that she almost subconsciously rushed out to rescue her.

Those pearls were worth a lot of money, and they were burned by hot coals and all of them were wasted.

Just the heavy carving, the wooden box embedded with broken treasures is also worth hundreds of taels.

The maid was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat, and without thinking about it, she went to the brazier to fish for ......

A false alarm!

The wooden box had been burned with a black mark, but fortunately, the lock of the wooden box was fastened.

None of the pearls fell out......

Cheng Ziyu smiled faintly. She hadn't intended to accept the gift at all, but she wasn't going to ruin the beads to owe a sum of money or a favor......

The handmaid's hand was burned, and it suddenly bubbled, but she didn't come out with a "hiss" sound, and she heard a "tom" sound behind her.

Not good!

Like ...... What is the sound of falling water?

The maid turned her head sharply, but saw Cheng Ziyu coming back from the window with her sleeves patted.

When the maid took a closer look, the flower shelf by the window was empty.

Oops! Treasure Bottle!

At that moment, she almost sat on the ground.

Regardless of the weakness of her legs and the pain of her hands, the maid shouted "Someone is coming" and threw herself to the window......

I stuck my head out of the window and looked, and sure enough, I saw a gold-inlaid enamel vase floating around on the sea, and the whole plum blossom that had been inserted in the bottle had been swept into the depths of the sea by the waves......

She complained in her heart, this county lord is so powerful. This is directly throwing the treasure bottle into the sea!

The maid was frightened, and shouted in the local dialect for someone to go and catch the bottle, and then heard someone on the deck plopping into the sea and jumping, and someone shouting "net fishing......

At this time, Xia Wei, who was very relieved, had already worked together to push the flower stand behind the door......

Before the maid could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the sound of Ding Lingdang behind her, and when she looked back, the person she had summoned was pushing the door. The bottle on the flower shelf is swaying left and right, and it is about to fall down if you want to see it.

"Wait! Don't push! Don't come in! ”

At that moment, the maid was covered in sweat and almost wanted to die.

"Don't go in yet!" She hurriedly ran behind the door, and just after holding up the frame and removing the upper ornaments, there was a bad sound behind her.

This time, Cheng Ziyu directly ripped off a famous painting from the wall.

"This seems to be the true handiwork of Master Zhang of the previous dynasty, right?" Cheng Ziyu rolled up the painting and was about to throw it out of the window.

The maidservant was so frightened that she knelt down directly.

The painting is worth thousands of taels.

The box can be fished out if it falls into the fire, the bottle can be rescued if it falls into the water, and if the painting falls into the sea, it will be completely finished. And this painting is still made by the ancestors, it can't be reproduced, and you can't afford to pay for killing her!

"The county lord, the county lord is angry, the county lord spares his life!"

The door was pushed open, and all the maidservants standing at the door came in.

After several people looked at each other, two knelt down and begged to accompany them, and the other three came up to dissuade them.

Xia Wei and the two grabbed an antique in their hands and blocked the front, without moving, but they had the potential to never let the other party get closer.

The women looked at each other and frowned. Obviously, they are not afraid to do it, but they don't want to be affected by losses, so naturally none of them dare to step forward.

"Stand there for me!" Cheng Ziyu's aura opened and opened coldly.

"I'll say it one last time! Go and call your stewards! I have a bad temper, and it's definitely not a good thing for you to provoke me. I'll see, I've destroyed this house, and you can't get out. It's useless for you to have a firecracker, you forced me to hurry, and I jumped into the sea directly! No matter who your master is, I believe they don't have the courage to see what happened to me, right? ”

This is Cheng Ziyu's last confidence.

She dared to bet!

Even if these people were really pirates, they wouldn't dare to let themselves have an accident when it might involve Li Chun and the royal family's face. What's more, they have been taken captive, their interests have not yet been realized, and they are gone at this time, aren't they drawing water with a bamboo basket?

And if Cheng Ziyu was only fifty or sixty percent sure that these people didn't dare to do anything to her, then at this moment, she was at least seventy or eighty percent sure that the other party was a big fear.

She tossed so much, but not only did no one take out the firecracker, but he didn't even dare to take it. Not only did he not do anything, but he didn't even say a word of heavy words.

Obviously you are very valuable!

Therefore, it is very likely that the previous round of intimidation before boarding the ship was just to force her to get on the ship obediently, or it deliberately created an illusion for her to achieve her goal......

And the reason why Cheng Ziyu is so tossed is not only to force the other party to quickly expose the purpose, but also to test and analyze.

She didn't calculate the other party's purpose, but she didn't want to sit still, she was afraid that if she sat down like this, she would become a lamb to the slaughter......

Xia Wei and the others were very happy that she was strong at this moment, and when they saw each other's hesitation, the two of them didn't stop doing anything, and simply pushed the Duobao Pavilion in front of them, and surrounded the three of them in the corner of the window.

In this way, if these people dare to come up, they will at least face the loss of tens of thousands of taels on this Duobao Pavilion, as well as the risk of them jumping into the sea.

In this way, it not only prevents the other party from coming up violently, but also has a bargaining chip.

The footsteps outside are obviously messy, and it's time to go and ask for someone.

In order to make the other party nervous, Cheng Ziyu copied an antique from the Duobao Pavilion and threw it into the sea. The sea was noisy again......

This master should be wealthy, but I don't know if he can treat money like dung?

Finally, a series of footsteps came from far and near.

Cheng Ziyu was also slightly relieved.

A fake and familiar scolding came.

"What to do! ! I actually neglected the county lord and annoyed the county lord, so don't you hurry up and get out! ”

It was the same guy who had beckoned them to the boat earlier, who seemed to be in charge.

Heh, didn't you say no?

"The county lord is angry, and the subordinates are not sensible. Surprise the county lord. The county lord has a noble status, don't be angry with yourself for these stupid minions. Dare to ask the county lord, but where is the hospitality inadequate? If the county lord feels uncomfortable, he can bring it up. ”

Cheng Ziyu glanced at the man a few times, and her doubts were even greater. Where have you just been? And what is his identity?

"What the hell did you show up? I'm looking for you! I have a bad temper, so that I don't continue to toss, why don't we talk straight? lest the treasure be lost, and the servants from suffering? ”

The man lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, as if he was considering.

"Let me ask you, what is your purpose, what are you leaving me for, when can I leave, and where has Mrs. Lin gone?"

Cheng Ziyu has been thinking about this, but she never understands.

If these people have any plans for her, they should sit down directly face-to-face and negotiate with her. But the other party was calm and relaxed, but she couldn't sit still.

One bad thought after another popped up in her head.

She didn't dare to consume it......

The man took two steps forward, raising his eyebrows and becoming curious.

"Doesn't the county lord care who we are and who our master is?"

She cares, but will she confess if she cares about them?

She didn't dare to ask, the more she knew, the more dangerous it was. In case it is true that as she guessed, these people are not coming in the right way, but she is asked to guess the history of the question, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to leave.

"I can not care."

As a matter of urgency, she just wanted to leave quickly.

It's not early, it's going to be dark in less than two hours. Could it be that she really wanted to stay here for dinner? As long as she leaves, she will always find out the identity of these people.

"The county lord is a smart man!" It's Cheng Ziyu who is smart. The implication is that it can be pursued or not. There is both generosity and a hint of threat.

The man laughed.

"Don't be so scared, the county lord. Come and sit with peace of mind, we have absolutely no ill will towards you. Since the county lord is a cheerful person, it will be stingy to hide it underneath, so this will give the county lord a few words that he can say. ”

Cheng Ziyu glanced at the man a few times, but still didn't notice any malicious intent on the other side.

She motioned for the two girls to push Duobao Pavilion out, and then sat down at the table.

"Sit down, too, and sit down to talk." She stared at the man.

The man hesitated slightly, and sat down opposite Cheng Ziyu.

"Didn't the county lord's tea move? You don't have to be so cautious. Tea and water are fine, as are tea sets. ”

He simply said it, and then took a cup from the tea jar in front of Cheng Ziyu with his own hands, scalded it with boiling water, and then poured a cup of tea and drank it clean. After drinking, he didn't forget to praise it.

"What entertains you is the tea selected by our master himself, and the mother tree only produces two catties a year, all here. If the county lord doesn't taste it, he will regret it. ”

He personally took boiling water in front of Cheng Ziyu, scalded the teacup, made tea, and pushed it to Cheng Ziyu......

The tea was very fragrant, and Cheng Ziyu was also very thirsty, but she still couldn't trust this group of people.

Even if it seemed to be fine, Cheng Ziyu still didn't dare to drink this tea. She couldn't help but secretly think that if the other party detained her for a few days, would she starve herself to death?

Thinking about it like this, she was a little impatient again, and she had to leave quickly!

"What do you call it?"

"The county lord will call me Xiao Wu."

"The fifth master is polite."

"The county lord tortures Xiao Wu, you still call me Xiao Wu. That's what everyone calls it. ”

Let her call a man in his forties who obviously has some status as "Little Five"? How strange it is, how strange it is.

"Guys?" There was another word that caught her attention. Do you call him that? Are there many more people above him? Is that what it means?

The man seemed to understand Cheng Ziyu's doubts, and still explained with a smile: "It's the Ningbo realm that knows each other, and it's all called ......."

"Fifth master, let's get straight to the point!" She didn't care, and quickly skipped it.

The man pursed his lips.

The woman was thoughtful, and when he put the words to her, she didn't even ask them about their identities and surnames.

He then shook his head helplessly, and no longer entangled with Cheng Ziyu.

"Good! You asked a total of three questions. Let's start with the first one, Mrs. Lin, she already knows that you have been invited here for tea, so she went to move the rescuers. She or her people should have gone to Jiaxing. What she went to find was General Li! Mrs. Lin was very nervous about you, so she didn't go to report to the official. You can rest assured. ”

Cheng Ziyu's face sank.

Mrs. Lin ran away angrily, and sure enough, she went to ask for help.

Yes, Mrs. Lin didn't dare to take risks.

He is equivalent to a hostage, and reporting to the official may not only harm his own life, but also affect his reputation. Even if the officers and soldiers can fight and succeed in rescuing themselves, who can believe that they are just eating and drinking on this ship during this time? Didn't suffer a little grievance? Nothing happened? ……

No one will believe it!

At that time, it was the Cheng family, Li Chun, and the face of the royal family who suffered.

Not to mention that when the officers and soldiers make a move, they may lose their lives at any time. At that time, everyone from Li Chun to the Cheng family will settle accounts with her.

That's why Mrs. Lin hurriedly left with a few words of intimidation and warning......

"So, your real purpose is Li Chun, I'm just a bait." Cheng Ziyu finally understood.

"The county lord is really smart, let's naturally not go to inform General Li, but to invite General Li to drink tea!"

"That's why you held me captive! You left me here just waiting for Li Chun to send me to the door by himself! ”

Cheng Ziyu was very surprised, she once thought that the other party had arrested her but did not move, in order to pinch Mrs. Lin or to fight the Cheng family. It's Li Chun! I'm going to hurt him!

"It's easy to talk to smart people! You're right! Except for one word: send. How do you call it door-to-door? Please! ……”

"What are you looking for Li Chun?" Cheng Ziyu got up suddenly. For a moment, she could hear a tremor in her voice.

The calculation in Xiao Wu's eyes on the other side was very clear, and his smile deepened.

"The county lord and General Li really have a deep affection."

Cheng Ziyu's panic made him very satisfied.

"County Lord, don't worry, don't worry. Just like you, we have no ill will towards General Lee. To be precise, it should be appreciation. When General Li arrived in Jiangnan, the master wanted to entertain the landlord with friendship, and the brothers also wanted to see the deity. That's all good. All brothers in the four seas, it is a good thing to make more friends! ”
