Chapter 213: King Xiang Be Careful

What granddaughter?! This kid must have been abducted by an old man!

The old man originally planned to sell the child, but he didn't expect to suffer disasters everywhere, and it was not easy to walk or sell.

Now with trouble, it was a pity to throw it away, and he thought of selling it to Zhu Bai.

Zhu Bai turned around and said, "Okay, leave her behind." ”

The stationmaster was stunned for a moment, knowing Zhu Bai's temperament, opened the door and let the girl in, and said to the old man, "Okay, leave her behind, you can go." ”

The old man grabbed the girl's wrist stiffly: "King Xiang, look, I have to go back, and I don't have a penny on me, so you can do it and send it away." ”

Zhu Bai sneered and sure enough: If it was his own granddaughter, he should wipe his tears and say goodbye, instead of asking for money in a hurry.

He walked over slowly, beckoned to the old man, and reached into his bosom with one hand to make a gesture of digging something.

The old man was too busy to let go, and the girl reached out to pick it up.

Zhu Bai pulled the girl along, protected her behind him, and said coldly: "Okay, you don't know whether you are alive or dead, and you have deceived this king." Didn't your companions tell you what they had suffered here in this king? ”

The old man was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to run, but was directly caught by the guards and pressed to the ground.

Zhu Bai condescended and said coldly: "Say, how many children have you abducted?" ”

The old man cried out like a pig: "Oh, no, wronged." This is really my granddaughter. ”

Zhu Bai turned his head and asked the girl, "Do you know him?" ”

The girl shook her head and said, "I don't know." He abducted me from my house, and I want to go home. ”

Zhu Bai waved his hand to the stationmaster: "Tie him up and send him to the government tomorrow." ”

The old man began to cry, and was tied up by the guards, gagged and thrown outside.

Then the guards closed the door and never opened it again.

Zhu Bai muttered: "What's the matter, when this king comes, do you have to kill a few people before you can move forward?" ”

The stationmaster asked, "King Xiang, what should I do with this child?" ”

Zhu Bai frowned: "This king doesn't care, don't ask me, you just ask where her house is, and call the passing escort to bring it back." ”

Before he had time to go out and have a good time, he brought a drag oil bottle, didn't he make trouble for himself?

The stationmaster couldn't cry or laugh: it's still young. I just saved someone, and I can't wait to get rid of it.

Besides, this is a living person, not a cargo, so you can bring it back as soon as you say it.

After half a pillar of incense, Zhu Bai completely forgot what had just happened.

Because the stationmaster knew that he was coming, he called someone to go to the mountains early in the morning to hunt rabbits and pheasants for him to eat.

At this time, he is eating fragrant roast rabbits, and he doesn't care whether he is a refugee or not, and whether he is abducted or not.

The stationmaster came in and said, "Your Highness." The subordinate asked. The kid didn't remember anything. You see......"

Now I really don't know where to take it back by the way.

Zhu Bai frowned: Oh, is this relying on me?

It stands to reason that a seven- or eight-year-old child should be able to remember, where his home is, and what his name is, at least he can say clearly.

Could it be a fool?

But those eyes are very clear, and they don't look like it.

Zhu Bai tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "This king will be walking for a few months this time, and almost all of them are on the road, so it's inconvenient to take a girl, so I'll leave it here with you first." You ask her to do some laundry and cooking, and get her two clothes. The cost will be charged to the king's journey. ”

The stationmaster wanted to say: You take away the people you save.

But he didn't dare.

can only say: "The people who stay and come and go in the post station are all five big and three thick men, and it is really ...... for this girl to stay here."

Zhu Bai didn't want to answer: "Recruit a cook to help you with laundry and cooking." Wages are included in the daily expenses of the station. ”

The stationmaster thought that this would work.

It is really inconvenient for Zhu Bai to take a girl, and when he goes back, he has to pass by here anyway, and when the time comes, he will have no excuse.

After Zhu Bai finished eating, he was busy reading the account book and arranging things, and he was busy until the end of the day before he washed up and fell asleep.

I got up early in the morning, had eaten, and was ready to go.

Out of the gate of the post station, an old man stood by the door and saluted Zhu Bai: "Your Highness, the grass people have something to report to Your Highness." ”

Zhu Bai looked fixedly, it wasn't the one last night. This is kind-eyed and calm, not like a bad person.

There was no one else but him, and the others set off early in the morning. After all, it is a walk, and it takes two or three days to get to the next station.

Even that person's tooth was dragged away by the people who transported the goods from the official tooth bureau and taken to the official mansion.

Zhu Bai asked, "Old man, why don't you go with everyone?" ”

The old man said: "The old man has inherited the favor of His Highness, and he has nothing to repay, so he can only remind His Highness that there are bandits in Jiuli Township in front of him, please be careful." ”

Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows: "The mountain bandits along the post station of the Guanya Bureau have long been cleared by us. The old man is not talking about the things before. ”

The old man shook his head: "It only appeared after the flood." These people only robbed merchants and people, and did not dare to rob the people of the official tooth bureau, so it is reasonable that His Highness does not know. ”

Zhu Bai lowered his eyes and thought: This is also possible. After the flood, some people were displaced, and the honest asked for food, and the dishonest naturally robbed and stole it.

If they only rob the people, they will kill them after robbing, and no one will report the crime. The government will naturally not care about disaster relief.

Zhu Bai asked, "You waited until now to remind this king of this sentence?" ”

The old man arched his hand to Zhu Bai: "Yes, after the old man finished speaking, he will leave, and he will not delay His Highness's journey." ”

Zhu Bai smiled: "It's hard for you to wait until now, let's give you a ride." Will you catch a car? ”

-----

The bandits in Jiuli were originally water bandits, but recently the government's patrols on the water surface have suddenly stepped up again, so they wandered to a mountain forest in Jiuli, specializing in plundering passing merchants and fleeing people.

I heard that the King of Xiang was going to pass by today, and they were huddled in the mountains and forests, planning not to come out.

Calculating the time, Zhu Bai can pass by in a maximum of an hour on horseback.

But it was almost noon at this time, but I only saw a few scattered people, who looked poor at first glance, and there was no oil and water, so that they didn't even have the desire to do it.

"Did the little prince go elsewhere?" There are little guys who ask the bandit leader.

There is a boat nearby, and although it is slow to take a boat, it is more comfortable than riding a horse.

Anyway, Zhu Bai is not short of money.

The bandit leader said, "Wait a little longer." ”

"Someone's coming." Someone shouted.

The bandit leader looked fixedly, and an old man came from a distance with a carriage swaying.

A skinny young man rode along.

At first glance, the carriage was used by wealthy people, with fine workmanship, high-quality materials, and gorgeous decoration.

The horses are also tall and fat.

I don't know if it's the careless big family, and he only brings a bodyguard with him when he travels.

"Chief, do it." The little guy said.

For more than ten days, there were only refugees with yellow faces and thin muscles. Such a fat and easy-to-slaughter "sheep", if you miss this time, you may never meet it again.
