At the same time, Zhou Da and his group returned to Tianfu like lost dogs, and originally wanted to clean up and dress up before going to see Tian Yang, but the second slut Liu is a very scheming person, he grabbed Zhou Da and suggested, "My lord, let's not clean up, let's go to see the master like this, the master saw us so miserable, and he must believe that we have done our best." ”

Zhou Da felt that he was very reasonable, so he greeted him, and a group of people helped the old and the young into the second hall, and at this time, Tian Yang had just woken up, and saw that they were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and said in shock, "Didn't I ask you to arrest Li Xiangjun, why did you make it like this?" ”

As soon as Zhou Da saw Tian Yang, he began to cry, "Master, it's not that I don't have to do things, it's really ...... It was Meixianglou who came to the big shots, and the villains couldn't afford to provoke them, not only did they not pick up Mrs. Li, but they were also beaten by the villain! ”

Hearing that they were beaten in their own territory, Tian Yang's face changed several times, and finally he forced back his anger and asked, "Who dares to make trouble here?" ”

Zhou Da wanted to speak again and again, and finally said boldly, "Hmm...... This one...... It's not a member of the Donglin Party, it's not a person from the Restoration Society, it's not a nobleman in the court, it's actually ...... It is Zheng Sen, the eldest son of the Zheng family in Fujian! ”

Lao Liu also interjected, "Master, it's not that I can't do my best, it's really that Zheng Sen is very vicious, and his family is even more arrogant, and the villain was beaten by them before he said a word." ”

As soon as he heard that they were Zheng Sen's, Tian Yang suddenly lost his temper, as a high-ranking official of the imperial court, he knew the strength of the Zheng family very well, because there was an armed force of the Zheng family in his jurisdiction. His station has two pillars, one is Jin Shenghuan, the deputy general of the Pingthief General's Mansion, who controls the cities and all the passes of the Huaiyang and Huaiyang Mansions; The other is Zheng Hongkui of the Zheng family in Fujian, he controls all the wharves of the canal and the Yangtze River, and although he is nominally in charge of them, he is not as arrogant as Ma Shiying, and can raise a standard camp town of several thousand people all year round, if there is no support from them, he is a bare-bones commander.

In addition, Jin Shenghuan came from Zuo Liangyu's Ping Thief Army, and Zuo Liangyu was pro-Donglin Party, so he didn't buy much of his account as a eunuch, and he didn't dare to trust him 100%. Zheng Hongkui is different, he has no obvious partisan tendencies, and he is exactly the target he wants to woo.

Hearing that Zheng Sen had a crush on Li Xiangjun, Tian Yang thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to let it go, "Huh...... Don't make a noise about this matter for the time being, and let's think about it slowly in the future! ”

Zhou Da and the others couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw Tian Yang endure this breath, when their master came back, it can be said that he wants the wind to be windy, to rain and rain, when are they afraid of people? was slapped in the face by a Zheng Sen today, if it is spread out, where will there be face at all?

Tian Yang seemed to see their thoughts, not only did he not get angry, but instead said some words of relief, "Ah...... This one...... You have also worked hard, so go to the account office in a moment and pay a sum of money to heal your wounds! We're going back to Huai'an in two days, don't go out like this when the time comes, the old man can't afford to lose this person! ”

Zhou Da and the others were completely confused, but when the old man spoke, they had to retire anxiously.

Tian Yang turned around and returned to the room, and saw that Li Zhenli was still lying on the ground, thinking of the miserable appearance of Zhou Da and others, he was immediately angry, and he went up with punches and kicks, "You slut, for your mother and daughter, not only almost lost my generals, but also made the old man lose face, I ...... I'll kill you! ”

Li Zhenli had just woken up from his punches before, and she had just woken up at this time, and she was humiliated again before she could recover from it, but this time she couldn't faint, so she had to stretch out her hands and try to protect her head and let him beat other places.

Tian Yang was old after all, he was out of breath after a while, and he didn't really want to kill her, seeing that she had been tortured to the point that she was not human, and her breath was almost out, he shouted out of the door, "Come on, throw this slut out for me, throw him to the mass grave when he dies, and if he doesn't die, he will have a servant at will!" Hmph, if you dare to humiliate me for a month, I will humiliate you for the rest of my life! ”

Li Zhenli had no power to fight back, she was already numb, in fact, she thought of this day when she entered the mansion, but Tian Yang's rough lines and the careful thinking of Zhou Da and his group gave her a glimmer of hope, making her think that she was favored by God. However, the bubble will burst eventually, and it will burst when it gives her a glimmer of hope.

In the face of the sudden change, Li Zhenli was completely unprepared, and was thrown into the firewood room to fend for herself after being beaten indiscriminately. She thought that this time she was dead, but in the second half of the night, a person suddenly came outside the firewood room, the person first looked around, saw that no one was on duty, gently pried open the door, and whispered, "Big lady, how are you?" ”

Li Zhenli didn't eat water and rice for most of the day, she was hungry and thirsty at this time, and with severe pain all over her body, her spirit was already in a trance. The man screamed a few more times before she came to her senses, and although she heard his question, she had no strength to answer, so she had to make a little noise with all her might. When the man heard the noise, he touched her, saw her lying on the ground with a disgraced face, and asked anxiously, "Big lady, are you...... How are you? Don't be afraid, I have no ill will...... I'm here to save you! ”

"You ......" Li Zhenli tried hard to widen her eyes, but she couldn't see his appearance clearly, and finally had to ask, "I don't know the name of the righteous man, why do you want to save the slave family?" ”

Seeing this, Dahan hurriedly replied, "I...... My name is Mao Yizhong, and I am ranked eighteen in the clan, so they all call me Mao Eighteen, and I saw you the last time I went to Meixianglou! ”

Li Zhenli recalled for a long time and didn't remember what he looked like, but it was a good thing that someone took the initiative to rescue her, no matter what purpose he had, the instinct to survive still made her choose to believe her.

Let's survive first, and then think about the rest slowly!

Thinking of this, Li Zhenli gradually became sensible, pretended to thank her, and said, "It turned out to be the eighteenth brother...... You...... I...... Your great kindness, the slave family is unforgettable, if you can get rid of this sea of suffering, you will be rewarded in the future! ”

Mao Shibai took out some food and a pot of water from his arms and put them in front of her, and said softly, "You must be hungry, you eat these things first, save your life first, and then I will find a way." ”

Li Zhenli reached out to catch the kettle, but her hand hung down weakly halfway through, and Mao Shibai hurriedly handed the kettle to her mouth when she saw this. Li Zhenli took a big sip, ate something, and asked in a low voice, "I...... Slave ...... The slave family was kicked and injured by Tian Yang's dog thief, can you help me buy some plasters, I ...... If I drag it out like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for a few days! ”

Mao 18 didn't immediately agree to her request, but began to mention the conditions, "Uh...... This one...... Big lady, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if you are willing to agree? ”

Li Zhenli knew that he would not save herself for no reason, but now her life and death were hanging by a thread, and in the face of the only life-saving straw, she had no other choice but to sign the alliance under the city: "Eighteen brothers, the slave family is very grateful to you for coming to save me, as long as you can save me from this sea of suffering, I will promise you whatever you ask!" ”

Mao Eighteen Fox said suspiciously, "Really? ”

Li Zhenli replied solemnly, "Naturally, it's true. You can go outside to inquire about my Aunt Li's personality, and she always says the same. ”

Seeing that she was so confident, Mao Shibai was not polite, and directly said the conditions, "Then I will let you be my daughter-in-law, will you also agree?" ”

Li Zhenli's first guess in her heart was this, and when she saw him say it herself, her heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom, and she ...... Li Zhenli, Li Zhenli, you stupid woman, if you had promised Chen Dingsheng at the beginning, how good it would have been to avoid his hometown in Yixing early with him! Even if you can't marry Chen Dingsheng, it's better to marry Yang Longyou than this vulgar military man...... Hey, it's all fate!

After lamenting her life experience in her heart for a while, Li Zhenli quickly made a decision, "Eighteenth brother, if you can really save me, I will be your daughter-in-law, and I will never leave you for the rest of my life!" ”

Mao Eighteen Daxi, unlike Zhou Da and Guo Manzi, who are Guizhou barbarians, he is a native of Yangzhou, grew up in the land of fireworks since he was a child, and knows very well the value of Li Zhenli, a top famous prostitute. Therefore, since he saw her a few times in Meixianglou that day, he was completely fascinated by her, and he was always thinking about how to kiss Fangze, and now he finally waited for the opportunity, and he was willing to take the risk to come to the door.

"Ah...... I'm twenty-nine years old, and I never thought that I would marry a daughter-in-law one day! Mao Eighteen looked up to the sky and sighed, held Li Zhenli's hand, and said tremblingly, "Big lady, you will be my daughter-in-law in the future, don't worry, I will definitely feel sorry for you, hahaha!" ”

Li Zhenli's hand was held tightly by him, thinking that her life's events had been hastily decided, but there was no joy in her heart, but she felt empty, "My lady Li has been strong for half her life, but I didn't expect to be committed to a vulgar soldier...... ...... God, how unjust you have been to me! ”

After Mao Shibai left, Li Zhenli lay on the cold floor and sobbed silently, crying enough and thinking of Li Xiaojun who had no news, what happened to her, would she also fall into the poisonous hands of the surnamed Tian?

She remembered what Tian Yang said yesterday when he beat her for the second time, what did he say "caused him to lose face", could it be that Xiangjun has found a new backer?

The next day, Mao 18 fell ill very appropriately, and it was a few days after being sick, Tian Yang was going back to Huai'an, Zhou Da and others had already packed up, and when they saw that Mao 18 was still lying on the bed, they reported to Tian Yang. Tian Yang didn't take this stupid guy like a pig to heart at all, and when he heard that he was sick and wanted to stay in Nanjing to recuperate, he agreed, and let him be in charge of the guard of the house in Nanjing after he recovered from his illness.

Mao 18 easily achieved the goal of staying in Nanjing, and asked Tian Yang to marry Li Zhenli to him when he was grateful, and Tian Yang finally reacted, but he did not object, but was very happy. The thought of marrying Li Zhenli to the most family member under him made him feel very happy, just like drinking chilled rice milk on a hot day, from his mouth to his heart.

"Well, okay, the old man will reward you with that slut!" Tian Yang glanced at Mao Eighteen who was pickled like a pig again, and said viciously, "The old man can reward her to you, but you must listen to my arrangement, first of all, you can't let her die like this, and secondly, you can't let her go out of the mansion for half a step." Third, you have to heal her injuries and recuperate, and after raising her, you will torture her every day, and if she dares to say half a 'no', you will give me a good method! I want to make her worse than dead, so that I can relieve the hatred in my heart! ”

In the face of such a perverted request, Mao Shibai was full of promises, what he thought in his heart was that you will go to Huai'an immediately, how I treat her is my business, will you still send someone to watch me?

But when he thought of Li Zhenli's delicate and weak body, he was thrilled, and felt that he should help the old man out earlier, so when her injury was a little better, he couldn't wait to make a request.

...... Poor Mrs. Li, before her body was well, she was ravaged by a vulgar man who couldn't look at her before, and she would be punched and kicked if she had the slightest disappointment. Every time at this time, she regretted in her heart, how could she promise him in the first place, wouldn't it be a hundred dead people?
