Chapter 40: Redemption, Red Apricot
Liu Yan waited for a long time before waiting for Feng Buli to come and suppress it with officers and soldiers.
On the way into the city with the officers and soldiers, Liu Yan couldn't help but whisper and asked Feng Buli: "Where is the red apricot?" β
Feng Bu Li: "I'll send her back to the house first, and then I'll go to the yamen." β
Liu Yan gave a thumbs up and sighed: "The husband is thoughtful." β
Feng Buli raised his eyebrows: "It's all good for the lady to train." β
Train? What did she teach?
Before he could ask, the leading officers and soldiers said fiercely: "What are you muttering!" β
Then, as if he felt that the witness should not be treated in the same way as the prisoner, the officer and soldier stiffly withdrew his gaze.
The officers and soldiers on the side of Feng Bu whispered: "Don't pay attention to him, his usual personality is like this, his surname is Chai, dare to ask the old lady what to call him?" β
The wind is inseparable, "under the surname of the wind." β
"Master Wind, Lady Wind." After exchanging surnames, this little brother Chai seemed to open his heart, opened the conversation, and spit out a message to the two of them: "This is a big case, this group of people don't know how many nobles have been harmed, the court only issued a wanted warrant a few days ago, and it will be thoroughly investigated, but I didn't expect it to be handled by Mrs. Feng." Amazing, where did the old lady learn kung fu? Can you ask a lesson or two? β
Liu Yan's eyes couldn't help but brighten, "The wanted warrants have come down?" Is there a bounty? β
"Yes is ......"
Liu Yan snorted the fist in his hand and said, "My husband is weak and can't take care of himself, so why don't I ask Brother Chai for advice." β
The weak wind that can't take care of itself is inseparable, and his expression gradually cracks.
Brother Chai didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and was about to pull out the long knife on his waist, when he was ordered by the person in front of him: "Xiao Chai! β
Brother Chai then said, "Oh, I know, don't mess around......"
Liu Yan kept a low promise to the other party, "Brother Chai, don't worry, you can find an appropriate time to learn." β
Brother Chai immediately came to the spirit.
There are two stone lions at the vermilion gate, the plaque is ironed with golden characters, and there are small stalls around to sell, Liu Yan can't help but sigh, "This is the yamen." β
Brother Chai held his head high, like an honor, "Majestic." β
Liu Yan is also the one who has entered the gate of the Hou Mansion, but for the sake of the bounty, she has to come along, "Majestic." β
The master of the yamen asked some questions, and the master was responsible for recording them, and after the questions were finished, Liu Yan and the others left with the silver.
The carriage stopped outside the Yamen Mansion, and no one dared to move. As soon as Liu Yan got into the carriage, she put the silver into the space steadily.
Feng Buli drove to a mansion and said to the woman in the carriage who was counting the silver in the space: "Lady, it's here." β
Liu Yan opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, "It's finally here." β
Seeing that the subordinate was about to take over the reins in his hand, Liu Yan was stunned, "Lead us to the stable, and call your old lady by the way." β
Liu Yan, under the leadership of her subordinates, came to the stable, she smoothed the horse with a horse hair brush, and fed some hay, and heard the sound of messy footsteps gradually approaching.
When she looked up, she saw that the first person was wearing silk and satin, and the faces of men and women were charitable, full of red, and there were tears in their eyes.
Feng Buli said politely: "Master, madam, under the surname Feng." β
The lady lost her manners a little, and her voice trembled, "Where is my daughter......
The rich merchant was still calm, and waved away a group of people before Liu Yan pointed to the carriage.
The lady hurried into the carriage.
Suddenly, it seemed that the brewing emotions did not collapse, and she was full of sorrow: "Daughterββ! O my poor daughter......"
Liu Yan said to the old man Shang who couldn't hold back the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes: "My husband and I originally fled and happened to save the grandson of the Hou Mansion of Yong'an, and now we are placed in a house somewhere in Lihua Village. β
This is self-exposure, but knocking on the side, and he has a background. If you want to kill people for the reputation of your family, you have to look down on the Hou Mansion without offending it. Even if the Yong'an Hou Mansion is lonely, it is much stronger than the merchants.
The rich businessman's face stiffened, and he shook slightly, "Thank you two for helping you and protecting the innocence of the little girl after death." "What is the innocence of my daughter? It is the family name of the whole family that is not out of the cabinet, and the daughter's family is innocent.
Which of the big families is not three wives and four concubines, even if the rich businessman has a good reputation, it cannot be avoided. As long as a daughter's reputation is damaged, other daughters will also be impressed, and it is difficult to say that others.
Liu Yan bowed slightly, "Don't say anything else, my husband and I just want to ask the red apricot girl who was sent back, how is it?" β
Hongxing was imprisoned in the firewood room and has not yet been disposed of.
Hongxing was covered with her eyes, her limbs were tied, and even her mouth was stuffed with a cloth, she felt the darkness, trembled all over, and lived like a year.
The life-saving benefactor let her go to the mansion and left.
As soon as the person left, the old man's face became gloomy, and he ordered someone to tie her up.
She didn't understand, what did she do wrong? Just escaped from the tiger's mouth and returned to the yard where he has lived for nearly ten years, he was treated like this by the lord who is charitable all day long?
Then she heard the other servants talking.
"I'm afraid the old man won't leave the red apricot, right?"
"Miss didn't come back alive, and the group only kept her alive, so this can't be an example?"
"Hongxing too, how is it out of proportion, if I were her, what would I do when I came back? I just ran away ......"
"How can it be so easy, now that there are so many refugees outside, she is alone in it, and she can't be slaughtered? Besides, the red apricot deed is still in the hands of the lady......"
Hongxing has grown up with Miss since she was a child, and she has all the thoughts and means she should have, otherwise she won't be able to be a personal maid. But today I was really frightened, and when I saw blood, I was almost ......
Hongxing was out of proportion, and only the happiness of being alive was left in her mind, and returning to the mansion that had given her a sense of security for nearly ten years, who would have thought that the kind old man would change his face in an instant as soon as the life-saving benefactor left. The lady who is kind to people has not moved until now, and has almost acquiesced to the master's approach.
Also.
Even if the maid is favored again, once the master dies, there is still a living head? Don't be unfaithful to your protector?
The maid is a slave after all, and no matter how kind the master's family is, he must not commit any of the following. It was she who overstepped and found security in the Lord's house, but she was too naΓ―ve.
Bang β
The door of the firewood room was opened, and she could feel the light of the fire through a layer of cloth.
"You're really lucky, someone has to protect you, let's go."
The red apricot was at a loss.
Someone to protect her? Who is it?
Is her daddy?
No, every time her father and mother came, they would only ask her for money, and once they almost abducted her, and then the main family sued her father and mother on the grounds of holding the deed. Her father and mother were beaten in the yamen, and they didn't dare to appear again.
It can't be her father.
So, who exactly wants to save her?
