Chapter 43: Robbery of the people's daughter
The carriage was swaying, Shen Ruoran opened the curtain and looked out, and saw that they were heading in the direction of He Xinglou, so he asked, "Childe going to dinner?" ”
"Well, He Xinglou has a good cook, he only cooks one table of dishes every day, he went late yesterday and was robbed, I don't know if I can catch up today."
Shen Ruoran heard that the roots of her teeth were itchy, why was it always Wu Shuang who took the limelight, but she was so down!
The boy was also a little curious about her, and asked, "Why were you so afraid of those yamen catching them before?" ”
Shen Ruoran reacted quickly, and immediately changed his sad face, and said: "It's not that I'm afraid of compensating Gongzi's car and horse money, after all, I collided first, and I rushed into the car to beg for mercy when I was in a hurry, but I didn't expect that Gongzi had a large amount, not only didn't care about me, but also gave me a ride." ”
This statement can match her performance after getting into the car.
After talking, Shen Ruoran jumped out of the carriage neatly, said goodbye to the two, and walked straight in one direction.
When she walked away, the young man was no longer the gentle appearance of Fang Cai, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle falcon, staring closely at Shen Ruoran's disappearing back.
"Zhang Guang, the whole town is looking for a single young woman, and there is a ready-made one right now, aren't you going to send someone to take a look?"
The person driving the car was Zhang Guang, and he immediately followed after receiving the order.
Song Qirui opened the folding fan and walked into the private room on the second floor, which is still the seat facing the street in the No. 1 Tianzi room.
The dishes were ready, and soon the little cook could be seen driving away with the donkey cart.
A handful of long hair was casually tied behind her head with a wooden hairpin, and a few strands of green silk hanging down playfully stuck to her fair cheeks, and her face was still flushed with a hint of redness, probably because she had just come out of the back kitchen, and a few drops of sweat on her round and small nose were wiped off by her sleeves casually.
The only thing that spoiled the scenery was the man next to her.
Song Qirui frowned dissatisfiedly, and was meeting the man's gaze.
In an instant, the two lines of sight collided as if they were substantive, like sharp blades meeting, and sparks flew in all directions.
Song Qirui raised his eyebrows and smiled at him, but Song Qingyuan didn't appreciate it, his eyes were full of coldness, full of warnings.
Wu Shuang was talking to Song Qingyuan about the strange guest she met today, this guest was probably the same as the last time and last time, and she had to cook different dishes every time she came, which was very difficult to serve, but fortunately, she was not stingy with money.
She pushed Song Qingyuan, "What are you doing, did you hear what I said?" ”
Song Qingyuan nodded absentmindedly, the emotion in his eyes was incomprehensible.
Wu Shuang wondered: "What's wrong?" ”
Song Qingyuan just barely squeezed out a smile, "Maybe I've been too tired lately." ”
Wu Shuang didn't bother to ask more, so she just nodded.
Song Qingyuan wanted to speak and stopped, but Wu Shuang saw through it, she broke it generously, and waved her hand at Song Qingyuan again and again pretending to beg for mercy, "Please, I really don't want to know anything, you don't have to say anything, I understand." ”
This choked Song Qingyuan speechless.
Wu Shuang didn't want the two of them to dwell on this topic, so she discussed with him what to eat at night.
In this way, the laughter between the two returned to the past.
Song Qirui waited in He Xinglou for a long time before waiting for news from Zhang Guang.
Zhang Guang said: "The girl entered the backyard of Chunxiang Building and disappeared. ”
Zhang Guang thought that he could follow something, but he was wrapped into the kiln by the woman.
Song Qirui took a sip of wine, the mellow aroma was insufficient, and the aftertaste was slightly spicy, but it was a pity that such a table of good dishes was not accompanied by fine wine.
He muttered to himself: "Is it that he smuggled out of a brothel, could it be that this king is too careful?" ”
Zhang Guang suddenly remembered the news from the capital today, and said: "The Holy Lord has asked about the case of Cangzhou's assassination in the past few days, are we ......?"
Song Qirui cut off his words, "This king has his own measure. ”
After Shen Ruoran got out of the car, she kept an eye on it, and didn't dare to go straight home, but walked around the town, but unfortunately she was not familiar with this place, and she found a brothel around and around.
She got into the back door with a thought, hid inside for a while, and only found the low place on the courtyard wall again when it was safe outside.
She didn't notice that someone was following, but after so much experience, it became instinctive to be defensive.
She originally wanted to go home, but after such a fuss, she completely dispelled the idea, but now that it was getting dark, she had nowhere to go at this time, so she could only find a place to hide for the time being, and wait until the next day to find a way.
As soon as Song Qingyuan and Wu Shuang arrived home, Bi Ning's hind feet arrived, Wu Shuang was accustomed to this, and when Song Qingyuan unloaded the car, she took the donkey and tied it into the livestock shed, leaving the master and servant to talk quietly.
She was never overly curious about these things, so she only glanced at them and went into the kitchen to cook.
Bi Ning began to say something that he didn't cover, and when he saw Wu Shuang enter the house, he got to the point and said, "I found Shen Ruoran's whereabouts." ”
A group of brothers under his command used to guard the Wu family every day, and they were deeply impressed by this chattering noisy woman, and they almost all recognized Shen Ruoran.
When Song Qirui's men were still looking for people with that unobtrusive portrait, they had already sent all the brothers who had seen Shen Ruoran to guard at various checkpoints, so they naturally got twice the result with half the effort, and sure enough, within a few days, they let them squat to Shen Ruoran, who came back from the county.
Seeing that King Yan's men and horses were still walking the streets and alleys with the old woman like headless flies, Bi Ning was anxious, "It's useless for us to find it, we have to let King Yan find someone, why are these people so stupid, they can't be tied up and sent to him." ”
Song Qingyuan asked Shen Ruoran's current position and felt that this method still had merit.
Song Qingyuan adopted his opinions one after another, which made Bi Ning a little flustered. He used to think that he was a military general, but he didn't expect that he still had the potential to be a staff member now, and he didn't even feel that he was a little harder than before.
Shen Ruoran had nowhere to go, so he found a place to settle after half a night, it was the back alley of a family, and a bunch of sundries were placed around it, among which there were several half-human height bamboo baskets, which happened to be covered by the upside down.
She squinted and was half asleep, always alert to her surroundings, and when it was dawn, sparse human voices began to be heard in the distance, and she dared to move and get out of the bamboo basket.
She had just come out of the alley, and within two steps she met a few drunks, who seemed to have drunk all night, and were staggering home.
When the drunkards saw a lone woman, they unconsciously had evil thoughts, and when they got closer, they were about to move their hands and feet.
A few people surrounded Shen Ruoran and said some dirty words, "Little lady, she looks quite iconic, do you want to play with your brother?" ”
Shen Ruoran didn't want to entangle with them, there were not a few ruffians she met along the way, and the worst one had already met the king of Hades, she first showed weakness, and then picked the weakest one among them, kicked it away, and ran out along the tore gap.
When he arrived on the street, there were already pedestrians passing by, and Shen Ruoran couldn't care so much at this time, so he could only choose a place with a relatively large number of people to go.
Unexpectedly, those people chased after them and followed behind all the way.
Shen Ruoran's feet were faster than them, but she was not too worried, she saw the right time, and plunged into an alley that passed through the street and went around to another street.
It's a pity that she didn't have good luck today, and as soon as she appeared, she met an old woman, she walked in a hurry, and almost bumped into the old woman.
The old lady was about to vent her dissatisfaction, but she looked up and suddenly saw her face.
Isn't this the face she thought about for a long time, the old lady thought that she finally didn't have to walk around the streets and alleys every day, her voice trembled with joy, she grabbed Shen Ruoran's wrist, and said to the person behind her: "It's her, catch her quickly, can't let her run anymore!" ”
Shen Ruoran gushed out of nowhere, shook off the old woman's hand and ran in the opposite direction.
She had only one thought in her heart, she must not let those people arrest them.
A few drunk cats who were chasing Shen Ruoran were in the alley, and when they saw this scene, their eyes were clear, and their bodies were not crooked, they glanced at each other and left with a tacit understanding.
Shen Ruoran was really panicked at this time, she stumbled and stumbled, bumping into several people along the way.
Everyone just wanted to judge her, but when they saw a group of people behind her, they didn't dare to squeak, and they could only consider themselves unlucky.
Gradually, Shen Ruoran ran ran out of strength, and the gang chased closer and closer, she looked back from time to time to see the gap between the two sides, didn't pay attention to the road behind her, and suddenly collided with people.
She fell to the ground, and was soon overtaken by the people behind her, who reached out to grab her arm, but was bounced on the numb tendon with a strong force, and suddenly her whole arm was numb in pain, and the man covered his arm and scolded angrily.
"What a nosyman!"
Shen Ruoran looked back and saw that the person standing in front of him was the son he met yesterday.
He was still in a wanton and idle manner, shaking the folding fan lightly and asking, "Why is it difficult for a few brothers to be a woman?" ”
"It's none of your business, just stay."
"If this girl doesn't want to go, I think you'd better not force it." His words were mild, but with a sense of aggression that was hard to ignore.
The errand man looked for someone for a few days in a row, and now this person is in front of him, if he lets them go and take what to do with the boss, he naturally refuses to agree.
Several people glanced at each other, and they were about to rush up and grab someone.
Shen Ruoran hurriedly got up and hid behind the son, pulling the corner of his clothes and begging, "Childe, save me." ”
Childe comforted her softly: "It's easy to say." ”
Those few people rushed to the front, and before they could see clearly, they were hit by an oncoming force that hit the door in front of them, and their eyes and nose immediately became sour, and tears flowed.
The boy who shook the fan smiled: "Why, a few people know that it is wrong to rob the people's girls on the street, so they are in pain and tears, and they regret not being at the beginning?" ”
