Chapter Seventy-Nine: Pack Up Your Things and Get Out
After Mrs. Ji and Noya spit all this, she summarized angrily: "The old woman has heard a lot of such a set, the cheap maid in the big family, but anyone who wants to climb into the master's bed will set up such a dirty trap, she Anping County Lord feels that she is a good chess player, in fact, we mothers-in-law are no longer surprised, and our hearts are bright." The position of the young lady of the General's Mansion will also be hers sooner or later, what is she anxious about, she can't wait. ”
Of course, Noya knew what she was anxious about, except for the knife that the queen hung above her head, Baili Jiudi never gave up investigating the whereabouts of those kidnappers, once the incident happened, it would be difficult for her to enter the gate of the general's mansion.
Moreover, as far as her body is concerned, Mo said that she is half-naked, even if she takes off her essence and shows it to Baili Jiu, who has read thousands of sails, he probably has no interest.
Don't say why, anyway, she Lin Nuoya just believes. It is said in the treasure book that women are jealous, but they must be well controlled, not only to let men know that you care about him in your heart, but also not to mess around, so that men have a little bit of a feeling of being controlled and can't breathe. Therefore, Lin Nuoya pretended to be unprecedentedly generous in front of Baili Jiu, and that trust almost moved Baili Jiu a little much.
Bailijiu said that he had asked Anping behind his back what happened that day. After all, Anping was still young, and after she encountered robbers on the road that day, she panicked and wanted to escape, and was knocked out by the robbers from behind, and she was unconscious again. It wasn't until I woke up, that I was already in that cellar, that I found that my hands and feet were tied, my eyes were covered with black cloth, and my mouth could not make a sound.
At that time, she could feel that there was a robber guarding her all the time, and did not speak, only before she was rescued, someone outside came in, saying that the things had been obtained and could retreat, and the two went out of the cellar together, fled in panic, and left herself there.
Bailijiu asked about the bloodstains on the ground, Anping obviously didn't know it, and was quite shocked, but he disguised that he was struggling and scratched one of the bandits.
The soldiers under Baili Jiu worked day and night outside to investigate the matter, threatening to kill those robbers and relieve Anping. He even gathered all the girls and men in the natural dwelling, and asked if there were any strangers in the backyard on the fifth day of the new year, who had ever been close to the cellar, and whether he had found anything suspicious.
He also made a big show near the Land Temple, looking for nearby villagers to check, were there any suspicious people in the vicinity in those two days, holding tools such as pickaxes?
Baili Jiu's seriousness and rigor obviously made An Ping a little panicked, especially as the investigation deepened, her words were full of loopholes.
She began to intercede with Lin Nuoya, and categorically said that she believed in Nuoya's character and would never do such a thing. And he stroked Baili Jiu's bearded face with great distress, and persuaded him not to be too tired, anyway, he had returned home safely, and gold and silver were just things outside his body.
Bailijiu was very paranoid this time, and he asked her if she had heard anyone talking outside in the cellar, after all, although the cellar was abandoned, the backyard was full of people, and it was lively.
An Ping shook his head in panic, saying that he had no master of the six gods at that time, and he did hear someone talking outside, so he thought that it must be a gang of bandits, and he didn't notice what they were talking about at all.
Bailijiu looked at her suspiciously, and the look in her eyes made her tremble. threw himself into Baili Jiu's arms and cried, trembling all over, looking frightened.
He let her go with a long sigh: "Recently, the robbers in Beicheng have been rampant, and I have led people to suppress bandits several times, which should have annoyed those outlaws. ”
An Ping nodded hurriedly, as if he suddenly remembered, and said that when the two of them left, it seemed to mean retreating to Beishan.
Bailijiu immediately commanded the soldiers of the North Camp to take down the lair of those robbers, and these resolute actions made An Ping like a frightened bird.
In a blink of an eye, the tenth day of the first month, almost to the Shangyuan Festival, I heard that the Marquis of Zhenyuan and his wife were about to leave for Yunnan, and sent someone to pick up Anping, and the county lord of Anping said that he did not want to go. A girl's family, who is not yet married, lives in the man's house in such a grand manner, and it is always not good to spread the word.
The meaning of Mrs. Hou's words is that if it really doesn't work, she will first ask for a decree to set the marriage between the two, and when they return to Yunnan to prepare the dowry, and then choose an auspicious day for Anping and Bailijiu to complete the marriage.
The old lady couldn't delay any longer, and called Bailijiu into Haitang Bay to discuss.
Lin Nuoya was lying on the recliner in Yi Niantang, only sneering and not speaking, the bellflower was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, and Ji Pozi also scolded in a low voice, expressing disdain for the Hou Yefu to marry his daughter in such a hurry.
When it was time to decide, whether to defend the position of the main room of Baili Mansion or get rid of her Lin Nuoya, An Ruoxi had to make a decision.
At dinner time, the family was having dinner happily, when suddenly a soldier came to report urgently and presented a hundred li ninety-one ingots of gold in public.
Bailijiu didn't understand what he meant, raised it, looked at the light, suddenly changed his face, and asked urgently: "Where did this ingots come from?" ”
The old general was also surprised to take it over and look at it: "It's ransom!" ”
"It was sent by the shopkeeper of Hongbin Building, saying that there were two men who went to the restaurant to eat wine today, and invited a few top flower girls of the Qinglou, who were quite generous, and rewarded a gold ingot with a hand. When the girl showed off the gold to the shopkeeper Tian, he immediately noticed the mark on it, so he hurriedly sent his companion over and asked the general, is this the ransom a few days ago? ”
Where can Baili Jiu still care about eating: "Where are the two of them now?" ”
"It's still in Hongbin Building, and the shopkeeper Tian is looking for someone to keep an eye on them."
"Without further ado, gather all the brothers and go to Hongbin Building as soon as possible."
An Ping also hurriedly stood up and lost the chopsticks in his hand: "Brother Jiu, I'm going too." ”
"Well, I will stay in the house and wait for my good news." Bailijiu patted An Ping's shoulder and persuaded.
An Ping grabbed Baili Jiu's sleeve tightly, and his palms were wet with sweat.
"I'm not at ease."
"It's just two thieves, this time we must catch them all and give you a good breath." Baili Jiu broke her trembling little hand, waved at the guard, turned and left.
An Ping chased out the door, stood for a moment, watched Baili Jiu and his party leave, and couldn't care about eating, turned around and couldn't wait to go back to the yard.
A wind chime hung in her window, and when the window was opened, the wind chime jingled, and then a gray pigeon flew in silently and landed on her hand. An Ping anxiously took out a small piece of bamboo pipe from his cuff, tied it to the pigeon's feet, and then raised his hand, and the pigeon disappeared into the dark night sky in an instant.
Anping is very satisfied, this pigeon flies high, and the vigilance is very strong, different from ordinary pigeons, no matter how good the light body kung fu, no matter how good the eyesight, want to track it at night, it is also difficult to climb to the sky.
No matter how fast Baili Jiu is, he can't match the flying pigeons. She had already told the bandit leader Tan Liu, don't touch the ransom she gets, but the birds die for food, and people die for money, who knows that they will secretly use them to spend, if they are touched by Baili Jiu Shun Teng, won't it ruin their own big things?
Fortunately, the only person who has been responsible for connecting with herself is the bandit leader Tan Liu, and she has carefully told her to keep it strictly confidential. As long as the bandit leader is not caught by Baili Jiu, everything will not be revealed. As for those two money-greedy guys, they deserve it!
Hope is just a false alarm.
The dove flew silently, and General Shen Yong quietly followed behind, not far away.
Baili Jiu did not return all night, and An Ping was frightened and did not sleep all night.
At dawn the next day, the old marquis knocked on the door of the general's mansion, the old general had just come back from sword practice, sweating profusely, steaming hot, enthusiastically put the old marquis into the living room, and repeatedly ordered his subordinates to prepare tea.
The old marquis's face was slightly embarrassed, and he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, brother, I just came to take the unworthy girl back to the house, and then say goodbye to the old brother, and thank the emperor for entering the palace today." Our family set off for Yunnan. ”
The old general was very surprised: "Didn't you say that you would leave in three days?" How can it be so rushed? ”
The old marquis's face was full of shame: "There is an urgent matter at home, and besides, the little girl is bothering her in the house today, so I'm really embarrassed." ”
"Look at what the old marquis is talking about, the friendship between you and my brothers, it was in exchange for birth and death, why are you so polite?"
The old marquis sighed: "It's all because the old man and his daughter have no way, and he is ashamed of his brother, so don't say it." ”
The old general saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something unspeakable, so it was difficult to persuade him again, and ordered someone to invite the county lord of Anping to the front hall.
The county lord of Anping did not sleep well all night, and he fell asleep dimly at dawn, and was woken up by his subordinates. I don't know what the old marquis is doing when he came to the general's mansion so early, he got up in a daze, washed up briefly, and when he arrived in the front hall, he saw the marquis's gloomy face, and his heart was "popping".
"Father, why did you come here so early?" An Ping asked in surprise.
The old marquis's face sank like water, and he got straight to the point: "Pack up your things and go back to Yunnan immediately with me." ”
"I don't want to go back!" An Ping stomped his feet and said: "Yunnan is so boring, where is the capital fun?" ”
"Go back!" The old marquis obviously endured great anger.
"Hou Ye is angry, Anping her is a little child, what do you have to say." The old general hurriedly persuaded.
When An Ping saw that someone was supporting him, tears immediately rolled out of his eyes, and he said aggrievedly: "You promised me that you could stay here with Brother Jiu." ”
It's okay not to say it, but one sentence made Hou Ye suddenly furious, and slapped her in the face hard, and her fair and delicate face suddenly swollen and tall.
An Ping was stunned for a while, this was the first time she had been beaten when she was so old, and it was her father who doted on her the most.
"Aren't you ashamed enough? You've lost all of my old face! The old marquis stomped his feet hatefully, and his heart was angry and distressed.
