Chapter Eighty-Six: Mo'er
This year's champion of hunting the [Demon Clan] belongs to the king of the north, and the plan to win a prize to save the people has also come to naught
During the dinner that day, Qi Rusong's mood was not very good. Those sixty or so innocent people were not demons, at least not the girls he saved.
After a brief greeting to everyone, he left the feast early and returned to his lodgings at night.
As soon as he entered the door, the attendant told him. In the evening, the lady brought food to the girl, and tried to talk to her, but she ignored it.
When he walked into the bedroom, he saw the girl curled up in the bed, her body trembling slightly.
"You need to eat something!" He whispered.
The girl was awakened and immediately pleaded: "Please, please, I am very well-behaved, I will be obedient, please don't kill me." ”
"No one will hurt you." He said. "I've got a doctor for you, get up."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for the physician behind him to come in. The girl sat up, her hands folded in front of her.
The elderly doctor came with boxes and cans and asked if she was sick. He touched her forehead and checked her pulse. Before leaving, he left a prescription and told Qi Rusong to boil three bowls of water into one bowl of medicine, and never be stimulated again.
After the doctor left, he wanted to leave, but the girl gently tugged at the corner of his clothes from behind, "Don't... Don't leave... They... Will kill... I! ”
He knew that verbal assurances would not comfort the overly frightened girl, so he turned and stayed.
"Okay, I'm here with you." Qi Rusong said, "What's your name?"
"Me? I don't have a name, and a slave can't have a name. The girl replied.
"Slaves? When did the Great Xia Kingdom ever have slaves! ”
"It was the old man who said that I am a slave, a lowly slave!"
the horse's lord! Qi Rusong cursed in his heart, "I am the prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, except for the Great Xia Emperor, I am the biggest." He said to her, "Now that I've got the final say, what was your name before, can you tell me?"
"The previous name? Wall rats! ”
"Huh? How could there be such a name! Who took it for you? ”
"It's... It's the adult. The girl replied, "The one who trained me to steal!" ”
"No, that's not your name." Qi Rusong said, "Milk name, real name, do you remember?" ”
"Milk name? What is that? The girl was puzzled, "I can remember begging for food on the streets, and it was an old woman who took care of us. Later, the old woman died, I was so hungry that I stole a steamed bun and was caught and dropped for three days...
Later, the adult bought me. ”
"Bought to train you to steal?" Qi Rusong said, "What does that adult look like?" Why are you considered a [Crossing Demon]? ”
"The adult had short black hair, was tall and thin, and wore a terrible mask every time." The girl said, "We don't know his real name, we only know that he is someone from the side of the Great Xia Emperor." I overheard the news when I was stealing.
He made us the Rat King. He would often go to the [Rat's Nest] and buy countless orphans. Usually he would choose quiet and sensitive orphans, teach us to climb walls, slide into chimneys, climb into windows, pick locks and open doors, and teach them to read and write.
Then he called us "little teachers".
Let's learn to find information, letters, ledgers, or charts, and ask us to look at them and leave them where they are so that no one notices.
I was taken away by him when I was more than three years old, until last year, when he sold me to [Gentle Township]..."
"Why?"
"Because he said that all [mice] must not be more than a certain height and age. And I was over twelve years old last year, and my body has grown taller, and I am not suitable for the task. ”
Qi Rusong took a deep breath, "What happened later?" ”
"Later, I was sold to [Gentle Township], and they asked me to pick up customers, but I didn't comply, and they also bit a customer. The boss of [Gentle Township] sold me to another adult surnamed Feng, and that Lord Feng took me directly to the forest without arranging me a job.
Later, I met you, Lord Wang! ”
It is impossible for the traversing demon to remember so much, so carefully, this group of miscellaneous pieces! Qi Rusong subconsciously clenched his fists.
"Who is that Lord Feng who brought you to the forest?"
"I don't know his name, I just remember what he looks like!" The girl replied, "I've only seen it once, but I've been trained since I was a child, and I'm very good at it!" ”
"Where do you know?"
"They blindfolded me when they brought me over, you can keep doing that, I can find my way from memory!"
"I understand," Qi Rusong said, "You rest here first, and I'll take you to those villains tomorrow to settle accounts!" ”
"I... You don't have to embarrass me..."
"Not only for you, but also for the laws of my Great Xia Kingdom!" Qi Rusong said.
The girl nodded, "Lord, can you give me a name?" She said, "I want to have a name too!" ”
"Hah, that's stumping me." Qi Rusong scratched his head and thought for a long time, "How about calling you Mo'er?" As for the surname, I would like to give you the surname Qi, but it is estimated that the entire Great Xia Kingdom will oppose it.
It's better for you to use my wife's surname, Su! Su Moer. ”
"Okay, my name is Su Mo'er!" Su Mo said.
"You can rest first, there are different men and women, and I can't stay here forever. Rest assured, no one will hurt you. ”
~~~~ The dividing line ~~~~~
It was hard for Qi Rusong to imagine that a thin little girl could really have such an amazing memory.
He hired a carriage and blindfolded the girl, who took her to the residence of "the adult" by a memory.
Unfortunately, the villain was not at home. Listening to the people around him, this adult heard the wind and left Zhongzhou City overnight, not knowing where to go.
Qi Rusong, who was unwilling, immediately took Su Mo to the Governor's Mansion in the capital, and he wanted to tell the matter to the end.
After listening to Su Mo's story, the admiral of the capital city looked embarrassed, "This is really unheard of!" The stakes are so high that I think I should ask the Second Prince or His Majesty for advice. ”
Qi Rusong didn't have such good patience, "The dignified Admiral of Zhongzhou City, I don't know anything about such a big thing as buying and selling slaves. If you can't even manage this, I'm afraid I'll have to show Your Majesty a more suitable person. ”
The Admiral of Zhongzhou City was born with a tall head and a double chin, and when he heard this, he immediately became as angry as a frog, and his bald head suddenly turned red. "Lord Qi, you have to give me some time to investigate the case, right?"
"You should have asked us more about the situation than sent us away!"
The Admiral squeezed out a smile, "Please repeat the physical characteristics of those prisoners again!" ”
"You weren't listening at all?" Qi Rusong reprimanded.
The other party didn't say a word, and his eyes dodged.
"Listen to me, short black hair, tall and thin, wearing a terrible mask."
"He only had four fingers on his right hand, and I remembered." Su Mo added.
"Short black hair, tall and thin, masked, four fingers!" The Admiral of the capital suddenly shuddered. "Are you sure she's not mistaken?"
"I've been with that person for nearly ten years, so naturally I can't be mistaken!"
The admiral of the capital suddenly felt a chill down his spine, "Lord Qi, there is indeed such an adult in Zhongzhou City," he leaned over to Qi Rusong's ear, "But, that's the prime minister of the dynasty!" ”
"What!" Even Qi Rusong was shocked.
"This matter... Or... As I said... Tell your majesty? ”
"I will naturally report to Your Majesty, and you will arrest the other innocent person who framed the innocent under the banner of the Demon Hunting Gate."
"Yes, yes!"
I'm not your boss, what's the order! He really wanted to teach this inactive admiral a hard lesson.
Back at his residence, Qi Rusong's mood was still not good, and he knew that this matter would probably be delayed again and again.
The guards guarding the door became innocent puffers, "You go find the prince of the Eastern Realm!" Qi Rusong told him, his tone was a little rushed.
"Yes, lord!"
First he hunted innocent people, and then he heard about many atrocities, which made him impatient. At this moment, he missed Su Yu's embrace, missed his happiness when he practiced swords in the stone snake, and missed the daylight in the south.
After entering the room, he took off his coat, and then asked Su Mo to light the brazier.
After the girl made sure that there was no one around, she asked him, "Lord Wang, what are you looking for the prince of the Eastern Realm?" ”
"He's a lot of people in Middle-earth City, so let him help find out where the escaped thugs have gone."
"That's it?" Su Mo laughed, "Master, why did you forget me!" ”
"You—" he snapped up.
"Yes, I'm a native of Middle-earth." Su Mo said, "My specialty is..."
"Find out the news!" Qi Rusong said, "But can you do it alone?" ”
"Lord Wang, you look down on me too much, I need help."
"If I bring the entourage to help you, it's too ostentatious!"
"I can find my former buddies, those [mice]!" Su Mo told him.
"Can they be trusted?" Qi Rusong said, "They are the subordinates who are suspected of being the prime minister. ”
"No problem, that adult usually comes to us when he has a task, and usually he only asks someone to bring us food and ignores us." Su Mo said.
The Prime Minister doesn't have to worry about you escaping, how can a group of children under the age of ten survive when they leave Middle-earth.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Su Mo nodded, "But Lord Wang, there are still some things I haven't told you," she said, "they need money, they need money to work." ”
"Money... You're stumping me again. Qi Rusong smiled bitterly, "How much do you need?" ”
"Fifty taels of silver!"
"Fifty taels! I only have fifty-eight taels left! He sighed, then took out his purse, "Take it." ”
This was supposed to be money for the civilians of the [Rat's Nest]. It's really impossible to find a few dignitaries in Zhongzhou City to borrow some, presumably these people will definitely not refuse.
Su Mo took the money and said, "Then, do you still need to find the prince of the Eastern Realm?" ”
"Let him come, one more person, one more strength."
With Qi Rusong's understanding of He Xiao, he will definitely support him to uphold justice. If you don't contribute, you can pay for it!
"Okay, lord!" Su Mo bowed to him, "I promise you that I will complete the task." ”
