Chapter 181: Out of the Plug (6)
Xiao Yu changed into a palace maid costume and walked up to the top deck with Bai Fu. When I first boarded the ship yesterday, I just glanced at it in a hurry, and I entered the room without even seeing the ship clearly. Today, dressed as a palace maid, I just took a closer look at this ancient ship.
There are often various palace maids shuttling on the ship, so it is not unabrupt for them to appear on the deck. It's noon and the June sun is already blazing. There was no shelter on the deck, so there was no one on deck.
Xiaoyu and Bai Fu were on such a boat for the first time, and they couldn't help but look around curiously. The little fish held the railing and looked out at the river from the top floor, where the river was narrow and the current was quite turbulent, and the little fish felt dizzy after staring at it for a moment.
Because it was going upstream, the boat was moving quite slowly, and Murong Hua's boat was not far from the right side of Xiaoyu's boat, about two hulls behind.
In the distance, there are white sails, and from time to time there are small boats passing by, and the small fish look at these with novelty, as well as the scenery on both sides of the canal.
Every time I passed through a township, the canal wharf was full of people, and everyone was amazed when they saw such a majestic official ship for the first time.
Xiaoyu watched all this with a smile, and suddenly, a woman's scream on the dock caught her attention.
"Wronged! Princess! The people are wronged! "Since Xiao Yu practiced, her ear and eye skills are much better than ordinary people, this woman is dressed in white, holding a piece of paper-like things. Although she only screamed twice and was dragged behind the crowd by several big men, she was still noticed by Xiaoyu.
"Bai Fu, go, ask what's going on!" Xiao Yu instructed Bai Fu. Bai Fu obviously noticed the woman as well, nodded, and walked towards the wing where the second prince was.
After a while, he saw the big ship break down and stop, and then slowly lowered a small boat, on which Bai Fu and a few soldiers sat on it. The boat soon rowed to the dock, and the little fish stared at it, and saw Bai Fu jumping ashore with the people, and searched for it in the crowd.
About a quarter of an hour later, Bai Fu and the others finally appeared on the dock again, Bai Fu was carrying a woman on her back, the woman seemed to have passed out, and the blood on her white clothes was quite scary.
The soldiers behind Bai Fu were holding three big men, and these three big men were dejected, tied up with flowers, and it was obvious that they had suffered a little under Bai Fu.
Bai Fu took the woman to the boat first, leaving two soldiers on the shore to watch over the three big men.
Seeing that Bai Fu successfully rescued the woman, Xiao Yu was slightly relieved and returned to the room where he was. Not long after, Bai Fu replied: "County Lord, that woman is now unconscious, and the slave maid has asked Dr. Zhou for treatment!" β
Xiao Yu is still dressed as a palace maid, and said with a smile: "That's right, then take me to have a look!" Bai Fu hesitated slightly, but knew that what Xiao Yu decided would not usually change, so he had to take Xiao Yu out of the room.
Bai Fu placed the woman in a vacant room on the second floor, and Imperial Doctor Zhou was taking the woman's pulse when Xiao Yu entered.
"Imperial Doctor Zhou, the county lord sent us to see how this woman is!" Bai Fu stepped forward and whispered.
Imperial Physician Zhou's face was solemn, and he withdrew his hand to check the pulse and said: "This girl's pulse is subtle, her breath is dying, I'm afraid the situation is not very good, Miss Baifu had better ask the accompanying medical girl to come over and take a look at this girl's body!" β
Because the imperial doctor is a man, this time the county lord and his relatives naturally have a medical woman in the marriage team to facilitate diagnosis and treatment.
Bai Fu turned her head and saw Xiao Yu bowing slightly, so she got up and walked out of the room. Xiao Yu stood aside with his head down, carefully looking at the unconscious woman in white.
I saw that this woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes, and a small cherry mouth, although she was still in a coma, she could already see that she was a beauty.
The white clothes on the woman's chest were stained red with blood, and Imperial Physician Zhou should have taken first aid measures, and no blood continued to seep out. When the doctor came, Mrs. Zhou took refuge outside the door, and while examining the woman, she described the woman's injuries to Dr. Zhou.
As soon as the medicine woman unbuttoned the woman's clothes, Bai Fu and Xiaoyu next to her let out an exclamation. The woman's back was scarred, with hardly a single intact piece of skin.
And the injury on the chest is even more terrifying, it should be a dagger stabbing wound, and the bones are visible, but fortunately, the murderer missed a few points when he stabbed in, and he did not stab the heart.
The medical woman took the golden medicine and a clean cloth strip, and bandaged the woman's wound according to the instructions of Imperial Doctor Zhou. Then the doctor continued to examine the woman, and her expression became more and more solemn.
After the medical woman finished the examination, she whispered directly to Bai Fu: "This woman is already weak, and she has just given birth shortly, so she has not recuperated well, and now she is so seriously injured, even if she can survive in the future, I am afraid that she will ...... in childbirth", after speaking, she shook her head and sighed a few times.
Xiao Yu's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he clenched his fists angrily, who was it, who was so ruthless to this woman.
"By the way, take a look at this!" Bai Fu suddenly remembered something, and took out a crumpled piece of white paper from his arms.
Xiao Yu unfolded the paper and looked at it, and it turned out to be the paper that the woman was holding before, which was full of the woman's grievances.
It turned out that this woman's name was Yang Yunniang, seventeen years old, and she was originally the daughter of a large family in Jiang'an County. Since he was a child, he was married to Lin Junsheng, the son of another family, and he should have been married in May this year.
Who knew that at the end of last year, when Yun Niang went to the temple to offer incense, she was favored by Wang Dahu, the son of the prince of Jiang'an County, and he robbed the house at that time and forced Yun Niang to rape him.
Yun Niang's father came to the door to reason with the county magistrate, and was kicked to death by Wang Dahu in the street, and her fiancΓ© saw that there was no way to ask for help, and was ready to go to the state to file a complaint, but he was also framed by Wang Dahu and imprisoned.
Yun Niang endured the humiliation in order to save her fiancΓ©, forced a smile to please Wang Dahu, and became a maid in Wang Dahu's room.
Who knew that Wang Dahu's wife was a jealous woman, and after Yun Niang became pregnant, she forcibly drugged Yun Niang and aborted the fetus. In desperation, Yun Niang heard that the county lord's ship was passing by Jiang'an County, so with the help of other servants who sympathized with her plight, she waited for an opportunity to run to the dock to cry out.
The more Xiao Yu looked at it, the more angry he became, and he grabbed the paper in his hand and said: "How can this be true, there is such a hurtful thing happening in the dignified Da Tan!" β
Bai Shao was startled, and hurriedly pulled Xiaoyu to remind her that she was now a palace maid. Xiao Yu came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "The slave must tell the county lord the truth, by the way, didn't he catch three people back, where are those three people?" β
After telling Imperial Doctor Zhou and the medical woman to treat Yang Yunniang well, Xiaoyu was taken by Bai Shao to the cabin where the three big men were held.
The Guards still had a knack for torturing prisoners, and all three of them were held in three separate cabins to prevent them from colluding with each other. When Xiaoyu and the others arrived, the second prince's subordinates had just tortured and confessed.
The three big men are all thugs raised by Wang Dahu, and they usually rely on Wang Dahu's prestige to be powerful in Jiang'an County, and they are known as the Four Tigers of Jiang'an together with Wang Dahu.
Now these three tigers have become sick cats, but the three of them only claim to be on the orders of Wang Dahu to recover the fugitive maid, as for the grievances claimed by Yun Niang, they don't know anything.
Xiao Yu took a confession and just returned to his room, when he heard the second prince send someone outside the room and say: "County Lord, Jiang'an County Commander has come to ask for peace!" β
Oh, saying that Cao Cao Cao is here, this Jiang'an County Order reacted very quickly! Xiao Yu snorted lightly and raised his voice: "If you go back to the second prince, you will say that the lord of this county is lacking, and these irrelevant people are still bothering the second prince to send it away!" β
There are so many officials who come to ask the county lord and the second prince to say goodbye along the way, basically Xiaoyu is a pretext, and let the second prince arrange for the corresponding officials to meet, so it is normal for Xiaoyu to say so.
Xiao Yu looked at the palace maid dress on her body, and winked at Bai Fu: "Bai Fu, let's go, I want to see what kind of person this Jiang'an County Commander is, so indulgent that his son robbed the people in Jiang'an County!" β
Xiao Yu and Bai Fu walked out of the living room and saw the second prince sitting on the main seat, with an official kneeling below, and a young man kneeling next to him.
Xiao Yu straightened his clothes, stepped straight into the living room, and saluted the second prince: "Second prince, the county lord is the woman who was saved today is unjust, and I also ask the second prince to leave the Jiang'an County Order for the time being!" β
The second prince was quite impatient to listen to a lot of flattering words from the Jiang'an County Order, and was wandering in the world, when he suddenly heard the voice of Xiaoyu, he was stunned, and stared at Xiaoyu fiercely. I saw Xiao Yu raise his head slightly and glance at the second prince, and Fang forced the word "county lord" that the second prince almost blurted out.
The second prince glared at Xiao Yu angrily, then waved his hand casually: "I know, you guys go down!" β
Xiao Yu saluted and retreated, and in the process of retreating, he could hear the kneeling Jiang'an County Commander shouting injustice.
She couldn't help but glance at the young man who was tied up a few times, the young man should be Wang Dahu, burly, with a face full of meat, and when he saw Xiaoyu coming, he whistled at Xiaoyu lightly. only bluffed Jiang'an County to give Wang Dahu a look.
Xiao Yu sneered and turned his head to look at the second prince. The second prince also heard Wang Dahu's frivolous whistle, and when he saw Xiaoyu's eye knife flying, he hurriedly slapped the armrest of the chair and said: "Bold, come here, pull down this pair of disrespectful fanatics of this prince and beat the thirty boards to set an example!" β
Jiang'an County's face changed when he heard this, and he kowtowed again and again: "The dog has no form, the second prince is gracious, the second prince is gracious!" The second prince didn't pay attention to it at all, and the Imperial Forest Army rushed forward and grabbed Wang Dahu and dragged it down.
Wang Dahu looked like a person who was spoiled by his father and didn't know how thick the sky was, and he roared while struggling: "If you dare to touch me, I will let you all die well!" β
The Jiang'an County Commander was rubbing the cold sweat that broke out on his head, and kowtowed desperately, hoping that the second prince sitting high above would be able to open the net.
While pleading for mercy, he scolded this son who didn't know how to restrain in his heart. Is this prince also something he can resist, you know, if someone is unhappy to kill his whole family, there is nowhere to redress his grievances.
