Chapter 108: Qiu Qiu is dead
"Auntie, don't you want to drink water?"
Qiuqiu's whole person jumped in shock, and looked at the person standing in front of him in disbelief. "You, you're not...... Yes! ”
A scream resounded through half of the Fu family's old mansion.
The boiling water in Haitang's hand was splashed directly on Qiuqiu's face, and it turned red instantly. Qiu Qiu covered his face and cried in pain, and after a few times, he covered his heart and hummed quietly.
Haitang grabbed the remaining water in the teacup, took the makeup mirror in her room, and scrubbed off the rouge and blood stains on her chin at the corner of her clothes, to see where her makeup was uncomfortable, and wiped it out with her bare hands. After doing this, Haitang directly dropped the tea cup in his hand, and there was a crisp sound, which made Qiuqiu's face pale in shock.
"I ask you. Didn't Fu Qingqing want to return to his hometown that day, why did he appear in Manniugang again? ”
Qiuqiu's face had changed from pale to pale, and because of her next sentence, she turned into the gray and white of a dead man in seconds.
"The killers who assassinated me were not bought by Fu Qingqing with money? She wrote to me, deliberately waiting in Manniugang, deliberately asking me to distract the secret guards around me, deliberately, so that people have a chance to kill me? ”
Qiuqiu's frightened face already explained the answer. I saw her pale lips tremble several times before she asked, "You, aren't you already running away?" ”
"Run? I don't have to run, but I do. Haitang looked at her coldly and said word by word: "So before I left, I came over to ask, and after asking clearly, I can find someone to settle accounts, right?" Well? ”
Seeing that she didn't speak, she just looked at herself in horror, Haitang didn't laugh angrily, turned around again, and brought the boiling kettle she had just brought from the small kitchen in this courtyard to her. "Think about it?"
The kettle in front of him was still steaming, which showed how hot the water must be. The cup of tea just now had already burned her whole face, and if this pot was poured on again, Fu Zichen would not look at her even more.
Qiu Qiu became anxious for a while, and shouted loudly: "Come on, Madame is here!" Mrs. In ...... Yes!! ”
The shrill shouting came to an abrupt end, and Qiu Qiu struggled desperately to thump the hand that clamped his jaw, and his eyes could not see anything except the steaming kettle. Qiuqiu's throat and tongue had been burned, and the hot water poured back onto the back of Begonia's hand. She withdrew her hand, but did not take the kettle back, the lid of the kettle was not secure, and the hot water was poured directly on Qiuqiu's face.
Ji Qiu, who couldn't even shout, screamed again.
"This hot water saves me from boiling." Begonia wrung her eyebrows and threw the kettle. "I've never been a good person, and I won't let go of anyone who has offended me. I had amnesia, so I didn't delve into it. But now that I've remembered everything, it's time to settle the score. Qiuqiu, if you still have your life today, then go and tell your young lady Fu Qingqing, and let her wait for me in the capital. ”
……
"Childe!" The face of the repairer turned pale.
"How?" Fu Zichen's voice was still a little trembling, "Found Madame?" ”
Xiuping shook his head, "Qiu Qiu is dead." ”
Fu Zichen was a little irritable, "Let me ask your wife, what did you tell me to do in Qiu?" As soon as the last word was finished, Fu Zichen sensed that something was wrong, and immediately turned around and rushed back to the old mansion.
Qiuqiu's death was unbearable, and even Fu Zichen frowned. Xiuping didn't have the courage to look at it, so he just asked him: "Childe, is this a lady......?"
Fu Zichen's fists hanging on both sides clenched tightly, "Prepare the car, I want to go to Beijing." ”
Xiuping was stunned, "Why is Childe suddenly going to Beijing?" We're not looking for Madame anymore? ”
"She must have gone to the capital."
Seven or eight days later.
Haitang rode a horse and ran on the trail, saw a man in a hurry in front of him, clamped the horse's belly again, and ran a few steps forward.
"This big brother, where is there someone in front?"
The man shook his head and saw that it was a beautiful girl. He put down the shelves on his body and pointed in a certain direction, "There is a Shangshan Village in front of him, and it is only about a mile away from here." If you go further, you will be able to reach the official road to Beijing. ”
Haitang's hand holding the reins suddenly tightened, "Official road, how far is it?" ”
"Not far away, go to the official road and pass two miles to the capital. But now it's getting late, Miss, you should find a place to rest and rest first, and then hurry tomorrow, even if your horse is fast, now the curfew in the capital is going to close the city gate, and you can't get in. ”
Begonia twists her eyebrows, when will the curfew start in the capital?
After thanking the man, Begonia hurried forward. Sure enough, it didn't take more than a mile to see the people. Although the village is small, the scenery is unique, with green mountains and green waters, and the fatigue of running along the way has been diluted a lot.
As soon as he entered the village, Begonia heard a commotion in front of him. Look again, I saw a swarthy strong man dragging a girl outside, and a woman chased out of the house, kneeling on the ground and begging vigorously, the girl cried vigorously, and the swarthy strong man scolded vigorously.
"The Li family is coming to rob people again?"
"Bastard thing!"
The horse under Haitang was startled, and two villagers passed by the horse, and the hoe they were carrying almost hit the horse. Looking at the dirt on the legs and feet of these two people and the sweat of steamed buns, I am afraid that they have just rushed from the field.
The quarrel ahead became more and more chaotic, and it looked like it was about to turn into a fight. I saw that the woman was entangled with the man, and the girl took the opportunity to break free and ran outside.
"Qiao'er, run! Come on! ”
The girl who was called Qiao'er hesitated for a while, and then heard her mother shout a few times, and then ran towards the entrance of the village. As she passed by Begonia, the girl looked up, and after one glance, she knelt down with a pop.
"Princess! Princess, save me! ”
The long-lost title made Haitang a little moved and a little uncomfortable, she looked at the girl's eyebrows carefully, and really couldn't remember who this person was.
The swarthy man kicked the woman away, and was about to catch up. The girl knelt down and climbed two steps to Haitang immediately, "The princess saves the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid are Xiangqiao, and the princess saves the slave and the maid!" ”
Fragrant? Incense word? Yin Ze's people?
"Stinky girl, do you dare to run?" The man picked up the fragrant back collar like a little chicken, and then slammed the person to the ground. Probably angry, and wanted to kick twice. As soon as he got up, his sturdy body was knocked out and fell the ridge on the side of the road.
Haitang helped Xiangqiao up and looked at the man coldly. "My people are also the ones you can bully?"
The woman and the two village names rushed to protect Xiangqiao behind them. The man got up and spat on the ground. "Grandma's, the master will open the meat today, let you know ......"
The man came over with his sleeves rolled up, and he was extremely arrogant. Begonia kicked one foot in the man's heart, the man glared, reached out to pull Begonia, Begonia's body spun easily, and the toes kicked directly on the man's chin. As soon as the man staggered twice and stood firmly, he felt a chill on his neck, looked down, and saw that he had a small dagger on his neck.
Haitang sent the dagger inside, "I don't know what's wrong!" ”
Xiangqiao and several people didn't see clearly where the dagger was conjured up from, and they were stunned and even more shocked.
"Debt repayment, I'm doing it according to the law!"
Haitang sent the dagger inside, and there was an instant bloodshot on the man's neck. "What kind of law and what kind of thing are you doing?"
The man glared, "Her father owes us the money in the gambling house and has no money to pay off the debt, so he has already given us his daughter!" ”
Begonia turned around and asked Xiangqiao with her eyes. Xiangqiao gritted her teeth and held back tears, and the two villagers also bowed their heads and sighed, but the woman stared straight at her, full of surprise.
"How much money does her father owe you?"
The man snorted heavily under his nose, "One hundred and eighty-three two five and two coins!" ”
Haitang was not angry, and knocked the man to the ground with a backhand elbow. "Just a hundred taels, you dare to come and rob people!"
The man shouted, "This is the rule, even if we report to the government, we are reasonable!" ”
Xiangqiao came out from behind, pulled Begonia and whispered: "Wang ......"
Before the whole salutation was called, Begonia glared at him with a cold eye. Xiangqiao was so frightened that she withdrew her hand, retreated a few steps, and was about to kneel.
Haitang took out the only two remaining tickets, "This is two hundred taels, and the remaining ten taels of silver should be bought for you!" ”
When he saw the silver, the man immediately smiled. "It's still young and generous. I'm leaving, I'm leaving. ”
The two villagers thanked Xiangqiao in place, and when they saw that Xiangqiao and her mother were still stunned, they dragged her again. Xiangqiao's mother also thanked her twice. Haitang took Xiangqiao's mother's reaction into her eyes, but she didn't think much about it, just thought that her mother had also guessed her identity as Princess Cheng.
Naturally, Begonia went to Xiangqiao's house for a meal. Xiangqiao followed her mother in the kitchen, and she didn't know if her mother explained it or Xiangqiao did it herself, but the girl knelt in front of Haitang again and kowtowed three times.
"If it weren't for the princess, the slaves wouldn't be able to see my mother. The princess is generous and virtuous, and the slave and maid will definitely tie the grass and knot the ring in the next life......"
"Alright, alright." Haitang helped her up, hesitated for a moment and asked her, "Your mother and me...... What does it matter? ”
Xiangqiao explained: "I'm afraid the princess doesn't remember, the palace didn't let her take leave, the slave maid was seriously ill, and in the end, it was Sister Fennel who begged the princess, and in the end, the princess won the opportunity to take leave in our backyard." The princess also called a doctor to treat my mother, if it weren't for this, my mother would have really been killed by quacks. "Xiangqiao smiled a little silly, but also a little pure." At that time, the princess allowed the slave maid to stay at home and serve her mother until she recovered, and the slave and maid stayed here and did not rush back to the palace. Therefore, the princess is the great benefactor of the slave family. ”
Haitang pulled the corners of her lips with difficulty, and whispered like a dream: "It turns out that you are the little girl." ”
"Mother, why are you standing there?" Xiangqiao saw her mother standing there and peeking, and intimately helped her mother over. "The princess is amiable, she is the best master her daughter has ever seen, don't be afraid."
Xiangqiao's mother was helped over, and she stared at the begonia even more blatantly. Back and forth, up and down, I can't wait to see the inside. Looking at it, her mother actually cried.
"This is Princess Cheng? But isn't Princess Cheng already ...... Like, really like! Qiao'er, is this really Princess Cheng? But how can it be so similar? ”
