Hearing this, she couldn't help laughing, and teased Qi Muyuan: "You still said that you don't want to get married." I see, maybe you will return to the capital for the New Year, and your mother will already help you get engaged. ”

The current level of medicine is not developed, and there is a high probability that children will die young. Qi Muyuan's younger brother is only five years old and is not yet an adult. Mrs. Qi will definitely let her eldest son marry earlier, so that she can pass on the lineage to the old Qi family.

Qi Muyuan's face suddenly turned bad.

He hesitated, "Won't it?" Xuan even shook his head resolutely, "Definitely not." Regardless of whether it is engaged or not, which one is booked, my mother does not dare to make the decision, and specifies that she will write to my grandfather to tell me. My grandfather didn't mention it. ”

"That's when you're young, only thirteen. In another year or two it will be almost. Du Jinning thinks he understands the thoughts of middle-aged and elderly people very well, "Your grandfather must be in a hurry to hold his great-grandson." ”

“……”

Du Jinning looked at Qi Muyuan's usually expressionless face, and at this time his face was full of loveless expressions, and he couldn't help laughing "haha": "Is it so terrible to get married?" Since she is married into your family, she must abide by the rules of your family. As long as she doesn't want to have sex with you, she will try to adapt to your habits. It won't take long, at most half a year, and you will assimilate her.

"I don't want to get married anyway." Qi Muyuan was still sullen.

"You're still young, and when you're older, you'll want to get married." Du Jinning had the tone of a passer-by.

Qi Muyuan turned his head and looked Du Jinning up and down: "Do you want to get married?" ”

"Hey, I'm younger than you, you don't even want to, what do I think?"

Du Jinning was worried that saying that he would not marry in his life would provoke Qi Muyuan to be more determined in his idea of not marrying, so that Qi Bokun would come over to trouble her, and he didn't dare to mention the topic of his wife, so he hurriedly looked left and right and said to him: "Hey, what are you doing in front?" Why don't you let it go for half a day. ”

At this time they were waiting to enter the city. There were several carriages in front of them that were being searched by the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and somehow, the two sides were arguing there non-stop, and they couldn't get over for a long time.

Liu Gaozheng came back from the front, and when he heard this, he replied: "In a carriage in front, two tied people were found from under the seats, covered with bruises, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city asked what was going on, and the owner of the carriage wanted to find an excuse to cover up, but he didn't want one of the two to wake up, so he directly called for help to the officers and soldiers, saying that they were the children of a good family, and they were taken captive by the owner of the carriage, and they wanted to force them to do what they didn't want to do." ”

When Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan heard this, their brows furrowed.

Du Jinning looked at Qi Muyuan, and happened to meet Qi Muyuan's gaze.

Du Jinning asked, "Do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

She came to this era of imperfect laws, with no power and no power, and it was difficult to protect herself, and she never meddled in her own affairs. But what happened to these two reminded her of Qi Muyuan at the beginning. If Qi Muyuan could be found when he was taken away, and then rescued, would he not be harmed?

Qi Muyuan nodded.

The group rode over, and Du Jinning saw a young man in a brocade robe talking to the official, who seemed to be quite horizontal, and his tone of voice was very impulsive, and it was estimated that the identity of this person was not simple.

Ma Biao, who had been watching the situation here, found out his details, rode over to Qi Muyuan's side, and said in a low voice: "This is Qin Baozhong, the brother-in-law of Zhang Zhutou of the government office, whose family is in Sanjia Village outside the city, and his family background seems to be quite solid. He is now partnering with Zhang Zhutou to run a Goolan in the city, and he bought the brother and sister to send them to Goolan to send them. ”

"I have not taken people captive, but I have bought them from the hands of human teeth, how many times do you want me to say this? I've shown you the deed, what do you want? As for what I buy them for, don't bother you, right? Qin Baozhong's face was full of impatience, "Everyone has a head and a face, is it necessary to be so embarrassed?" My brother-in-law is Zhang Zhutou, and everyone eats the same pot of rice, what can you mean by embarrassing me? ”

Leading the team to defend the city today is a black-faced man, and the clothes on his body are different from those of other soldiers, so he thinks he is a low-level military attaché with a high rank.

He raised his hand and saluted to the north, and said in a humming voice: "Our Great Song Dynasty law clearly stipulates that those who illegally sell people into slavery and maidservants shall be hanged; and concubines, three years' imprisonment. Since this person has accused you of illegally kidnapping people and forcing you to be a slave and maid, I, as an official of the court, naturally have to intervene. ”

Hearing this, Liu Gao and Low explained to Qi Muyuan: "During this time, someone secretly kidnapped and trafficked people to the country of Fan, so the investigation was very strict. It is estimated that Qin Baozhong has done this before, but he has not been discovered. Now it's on the muzzle. ”

Qi Muyuan nodded, turned over and dismounted, and walked to the carriage to take a look.

Du Jinning became curious, and also got off the horse, and followed behind Qi Muyuan.

Although the two did not wear satin clothes, the muslin used in the riding clothes on their bodies was not cheap, and the workmanship was extremely exquisite-Du Jinning's riding clothes were specially made by Du Fangfei. Moreover, the two of them have outstanding appearances, extraordinary temperament, and calm demeanor, and at a glance, they know that they are the young masters of the big family, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city and Qin Baozhong saw it, and they didn't dare to stop it more.

The two men approached the carriage and saw the two men hidden under their seats, both of whom gasped.

The two men were hidden under the seats on either side, one on the left and one on the right. Except for a face and a pair of hands that were exposed, the whip marks on the top and bottom of the body were dense, oozing blood marks, and there seemed to be no intact place.

The young man on the left heard the voice, barely opened his eyes, and saw Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning, his eyes suddenly showed a glint of hope, and he said softly: "Two young masters, help, help." ”

He gasped for breath before he said again: "If the two young masters can buy me and my sister, we are willing to be slaves and maids to repay the two young masters for saving their lives." ”

"...... you" Du Jinning saw that the person lying on the right looked a little similar to this young man, and he was also dressed as a man, so he couldn't help but ask, "This is your sister?" ”

The boy nodded, wanting to stand up and see how his sister was doing, but he struggled for a long time and couldn't move at all.

"They drugged you?" Du Jinning asked.

The boy nodded again.

Du Jinning glanced at Qi Muyuan.

If she spends some money to help people, she can do it, but when it comes to catching heads in the yamen, she can't help her, and she has to look at Qi Muyuan's idea. After all, she is a small ordinary person, and she will have to live in the city in the future, but she can't make a fuss for herself. No one can afford to eat as much as they can.

Qi Muyuan nodded to Liu Gaowei, turned around and walked out.

"Hey, young master, young master." Seeing that the two were about to go out, the young man was anxious and hurriedly shouted, "If the two young masters can save my brother and sister, we will repay you as cattle and horses." ”
