Chapter 016: The guards arrest people
"Why are you helping me. ”
He was puzzled.
Although he reported the name of His Highness the Thirteenth, he couldn't guarantee her safety after the East Window incident.
Xiao Qi smiled: "What other reasons do you need to save people?" If I had to ask for a reason, it would be because I knew what it was like to be hungry. Get in quickly, it's too late. ”
The slaves were driven out, and they did not have time to put on their thick clothes, and the guards suddenly broke in, and they were all huddled together, trembling and kneeling on the ground.
The housekeeper of the slave house, Chun Yumin, glanced at the female slaves on the snow, and saw the guards unceremoniously searching the slaves, fastening their belts, and coughing lightly and asked, "Master of the guards, what happened, I want you to make such a big move." ”
The head of the guard turned around, and when he saw that it was Chun Yumin, he immediately changed his expression, and said with a smile: "Chun Yu Mama, I disturbed your rest, I really don't want to go." In fact, it's nothing, when I was patrolling the night with my brothers, I saw a figure, and I chased it here, and I actually turned into the courtyard of Mei Ji Niangniang. The man did it lightly, and he was wearing a night suit, for the safety of the master, I waited until this time to break into the palace late at night to search. If there is anything offended, I hope that Mama Haihan. ”
"My lord said this, the old slave can still stop it. It's just that Fengtian Pavilion is Niangniang's courtyard after all, and it is really inappropriate for so many men to suddenly break in. At least, it's also necessary to return to Mei Ji Niangniang. ”
The chief guard straightened his chest: "The matter is urgent, so I can only talk to Niangniang later." However, the official guessed that Mei Ji Niangniang must also hope to catch the villain as soon as possible, now there is chaos in Hunan Province, I heard that there is a commotion in Xiangxi again, at this time, the palace can not rub the sand. ”
Hearing the chief of the guard say this, Chun Yumin smiled: "My lord is for the safety of the palace, and the old slave is for the sake of the master's reputation, and they are all doing things for the master." ”
"That's exactly what Mama said. ”
Chun Yumin knew that the chief of the guard looked down on Mei Ji as a Hunan person, and even felt that Mei Ji would not stop their bad behavior in order to clear her suspicion, so she searched the palace so recklessly.
The guards were on a rampage, robbers were like robbers, all the places in the slave house that could hide people were turned over, the palm-sized porcelain bowls and clay pots were also smashed to pieces, and the straw mats on the slave house were torn in half and thrown out of the house like garbage and thrown on the grass.
However, even then, they got nothing.
"What kind of place is over there, you guys, go and see!"
The chief guard sulked a little.
Obviously, when they saw it coming in with their own eyes, they immediately surrounded Fengtian Pavilion, but now, they didn't find a single shadow.
"Yes!"
The chief guard turned around and threatened the female slave who was kneeling on the ground: "Trespassing on the palace is Ling Chi's capital crime, and hiding a villain is even more of a crime." Your heads cannot afford such a charge, and whoever sees it speaks now, and I will not touch you. Otherwise, don't blame me for the torture!"
"Master Guard!" Chun Yumin endured the fire: "The old slave has been in charge of the slave house for several months, and the place where the birdcage is larger, not to mention the Tibetans, even the cats and dogs are also clear at a glance." The adults' subordinates are all top-notch in the regular army, and they can be dug out even if they are hidden underground, so don't say some cruel words to scare these girls. ”
The chief of the guard continued to smile: "Mama has a good heart, and I'm also afraid that someone has the wrong mind." ”
"Slaves have to work before dawn, and they are asleep at this hour, and if there are really thieves passing by, they can't see it. ”
At this time, several guards kicked open the wooden door of the storeroom and exclaimed, "Chief Guard, there are people here!"
The chief guard raised his eyebrows and said, "Look, Mama, haven't you found it?" ”
Chun Yumin frowned slightly.
She followed the head of the guard to the door of the warehouse quickly, and when she saw Xiao Qi sitting in the pyre, she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Although she was very dissatisfied with the arrogant behavior of the head of the guard, in the end, he was a palace guard and had an official status, and he was not a rank of identity with them.
Of course, she can rely on her relationship with the Queen Mother to argue, but she can't really stop him.
If the villains are really caught in this storehouse, then the female slaves in the slave house will not be able to escape this catastrophe.
Fortunately, it's just a little slave.
"You ...... Who is it?"
Xiao Qi asked tremblingly. She thought about it, and quickly knelt down again: "Slave, slave, Xiao Qi, meet the guard......"
The guards had all drawn their swords out of their sheaths, but in the light of the torches, they saw a thin little slave, and looked at the chief of the guard with some surprise.
According to the rules of the palace, after nightfall, the slaves must rest on the large bunks of the slave house, and cannot leave without permission. This little slave does not sleep in the room, how can he end up in this dilapidated storehouse?
Chun Yumin explained: "This new slave is named Xiao Qi, and Mei Ji Niangniang attaches great importance to it and lets the palace people arrange it alone. I haven't had time to find a spare room yet, so I ......"
"New here?"
The chief guard slowly approached, looking at her condescendingly.
The little slave in front of him is very beautiful, and it is very different from those slaves who only do rough work.
Through the faint light, I took a closer look and found that her facial features were extremely good, and she was a standard beauty.
Xiao Qi's face made the chief guard very interested, and his originally cold face also showed a touch of greed.
"It turned out to be a new arrival. ”
Fingers slid lightly over her cheek, and the head guard said playfully.
Xiao Qi immediately understood that the other party's comer was not good.
In fact, such things happen from time to time in the palace. Slaves are not palace people, nor masters, but only accessories of masters. Anyone has the right to dispose of a new slave who has not yet been registered, just like trampling on a small grass on the side of the road, as long as no one kills anyone, no one will control it.
The Captain's intentions were clear.
Chun Yumin stirred the handkerchief in his hand, and didn't know how to speak for a while.
Moving out of Mei Ji didn't stop the head of the guard, and her words didn't matter. I'm afraid that if I talk too much, I will implicate other female slaves, after all, the man in black hasn't found out yet.
Giving up a female slave girl in exchange for so many lives, Chun Yumin weighed it and chose to be silent.
However, just as the chief guard was about to crouch down, Xiao Qi suddenly dodged the guard chief's hand.
This action made the chief guard stunned.
"Although the slave and maid are new, they are not something that adults can provoke. Before adults make a move, you need to think carefully about the consequences. ”
At this moment, not only the chief guard was stunned, but everyone present was stunned.
In their impressions, slaves are all submissive, cowardly and easy to manipulate.
In front of him, the chief of the guard who had an official status, that is, the concubines and masters of the palaces, saw it, and they all wanted to be kind, but now, they were warned by a small slave......
