Chapter 021: Sweet shopping with Xiu Niang
After he unveiled the silver ingots, he said sharply to Ling Hupo: "Where did these ten taels of official ingots come from?" ”
"This silver ingot is my private property, where did you care where it came from?" Ling Hupo was really angry now, and he sneered loudly.
"Lord Yan has an order, please follow us to the town yamen and explain it clearly."
"Go and go, who is afraid of whom!" Linghu Po said loudly.
In this way, he came to the town yamen under the "surrounding" of more than a dozen guards, went in and was stabbed, and then he was taken into the interrogation room.
At this time, Ling Hupo suddenly reacted a little, could it be that this official ingot has any special marks and caused trouble?
It must have been the Eagle Beak Mountain that robbed the Yamen official silver.
Hey, you're going to kill me!
So, when he was questioned about where the silver ingots came from, he insisted that they had been found in the valley.
Yan Sen and Han Mingda both arrived at the interrogation room, and the next thing they did was to hang up and beat them severely, strip off their clothes, whip them with a barbed horsewhip, and splash their wounds with salt water.
After an afternoon of torture, Ling Hupo was beaten to death, his skin was open, and he just didn't let go.
It can be regarded as good luck for Linghupo, in the afternoon of the same day, the two torturers in the interrogation room were not in the town, and went to the countryside on an errand, and they did not return until the evening.
Therefore, in the afternoon of the same day, the big punishments such as tiger chairs, branding, and sticking bamboo sticks into nails were not moved.
In the evening, the two guys came back, but Han Mingda's order to stop the execution also arrived.
Not only are no more tortures allowed, but military doctors must be allowed to treat their injuries in a timely manner.
Confuse Yan Sen and them.
The next day, he was escorted by carriage to the county seat, entered the general's mansion, and came to this small courtyard, where every day the military doctor gave him gold and creative medicine, boiled medicinal soup to drink, and changed gauze.
In short, in this small courtyard to recuperate, there are several servants and maids around, waiting there, but they can't leave the courtyard.
After more than half a month of careful care, the skin injuries have been scarred, but the scars are heavy, and they will not get better for a while, so they have to be slowly peeled.
In the past half a month, through the conversations of these servants, maids, guards and others, from the fragmented information, he probably figured out the situation.
Xiuniang, who they call the eldest lady here, surnamed Guo, is the granddaughter of the great Sima of the dynasty, Guo Xiang, the Duke of Qin, and Guo Rui, the general of Mayi, and her sixth uncle.
On the evening of the day he was arrested, it was Han Mingda who she went to see him, and he was stopped from torture and transferred to the General's Mansion, where he received good treatment.
Xiuniang came over to inquire almost every day, caring about Ling Hupo's injury and recuperation, but she didn't enter the back room to meet.
Ling Hupo estimated that Guo Rui did not allow her to come to see him.
Yes, she is now the granddaughter of Duke Yipin, a wealthy family, and he is just a small hunter, and his identity is 108,000 miles away.
In Ling Hupo's heart, he had long believed that Xiuniang's life experience had a secret secret, but what she didn't expect was that she was the granddaughter of the Duke of Yipin.
As for why he was brought home by Linghu Daddy, he still doesn't know the specifics.
It is estimated that it should be another mystery.
He didn't have anything, just because Xiuniang could recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, so that she would have no worries about food and clothing, and enjoy wealth and wealth, and he was happy about it.
As for the relationship between him and her, what kind of child daughter-in-law, little daughter-in-law or the like, at the moment, it is nonsense.
He won't mention it, let alone think about it over there.
Linghu Po searched his intestines and scraped his belly, and was in the middle of his thoughts, when a servant came in and bowed, "Young Master Linghu, the eldest lady is here." ”
Young Master Linghu, these days, these servants and maids have called him, and it is estimated that it is required by the master's family.
Otherwise, if you are not at the level of a young master, why live in the General's Mansion, you still have to have someone waiting.
Ling Hupo pretended to be stupid, he happily accepted the title, and also enjoyed this treatment.
The days of being waited on are quite comfortable.
Hearing that the eldest lady is visiting, it is Xiuniang who is here.
Ling Hupo thought, he should go out to greet him.
But before he had taken a few steps, he heard light footsteps.
"Da Lang, are you getting better?"
As he spoke, several women stepped in, led by a noble girl.
A long black hair is combed into a weeping bun, a green hosta, two strands of supple hair attached to the snow-white cheeks, and the eyes are like autumn water.
He wears a plain white brocade robe, a fox fur on his body, and deerskin boots.
"Xiu'er, why are you free to come over today?" Ling Hupo recognized it as Xiuniang at a glance, although the clothing and temperament changed greatly, but this is called telepathy.
"I come every day, but I don't alarm Dalang." Xiuniang smiled and sat on the brocade stool brought by the maid.
"I've recovered and can go hunting again." Linghu Po moved his fists and feet in the courtyard.
"Hehe, what kind of hunting are you still fighting, from the day you entered the General's Mansion, you have been a chief of the Catcher Cao in the Mansion, and you have become a military household, and you are no longer the little hunter you used to be." Xiuniang said in a deep voice:
"In the future, you will win glory for the country, make military merits, and become a general."
She wanted to try her best to arrange Linghu Po's career properly before leaving Mayi, so that she could give Linghu's father an explanation.
"Oh... Hmm...," Linghu Po promised.
I haven't thought about these carefully, but it is also expected, with the big tree of Xiuniang, it is impossible for me to go back to the past, and there should be a new starting point.
"Let's go, Dalang, the weather is good today, come and go shopping with me." Xiuniang's whisper pulled Ling Hupo back from his thoughts.
"Yes, yes! I haven't been out of this yard for more than half a month, and I'm so bored. ”
"Okay, I'll go to the back room and hang a veil, you can also put on makeup, and we'll go."
"Hmm."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and went back to the back room to put on makeup.
Linghu Po didn't have anything, put on a set of brocade clothes, and the outside was still the beloved wolf robe, with a golden wolf head sword hanging on his waist, and a pair of cowhide official boots on his feet, which looked heroic.
The two went out through the small door in the backyard, picked up an infrequently traveled road, crossed a few streets, and came to the downtown area.
The maids and guards followed from a distance, apparently this time with the permission of the general Guo Rui.
The ancient county town was noisy, of course, it could not be compared with later generations, but compared with Langya Town, it was naturally much larger and more prosperous.
The street was bustling and noisy, and the two walked slowly side by side, holding hands together.
The two of them went to the silk village, the rouge shop, and watched the street juggling, and in the end, Ling Hupo also bought two strings of sugar gourds despite Xiuniang's objections, and each person bit and ate them one by one.
In Mayi County, no one knew the two of them, but they were just curious, one seemed to be a beautiful girl, and he actually ate on the street.
With a sour and sweet sugar gourd in her mouth, Xiu Niang's eyes were full of tenderness, and there was a smile on her cheeks under the veil.
She suddenly became an innocent girl, a little more lively and cute, and a little less elegant and reserved.
Ling Hupo was also rarely excited, seeing Xiuniang so happy, his heart was tender.
He didn't want to miss this rare opportunity, so he quietly let go of her slender jade hand and gently wrapped his arms around her waist.
