Volume 2: Shangyuan Chapter 106 Undercurrent
"Shi Liang, it's so fun!" In the yamen of the Shangyuan Post House, Luo Jisi crossed Erlang's legs and lay on the chair of the right post chief 'elegantly', his face was still full of excitement, and he recalled the crispness of his first longitudinal armor flight.
This time, they did not move directly into the barracks, but took Ah Hu to the Yamen public house first to complete the handover of employment. This is the one who is the head of the cluster ... Brother's special approval is aimed at letting the two 'right-hand men' who have just come to Shangyuan relax first, use the two days to take a good look at this exotic border town, and after attending the Lin family's wedding banquet, they will enter the fifth camp of the Lord and take care of the military work.
"Are you piloting a mech for the first time?" Shi Liang sat in the guest seat and asked suspiciously. I couldn't help muttering a little in my heart, obviously I saw this woman just now and the mecha operation was very skillful, it must be the first time to operate the mecha.
"Of course I've driven, but it's all in the laboratory of the sect, it's dark and not slippery, and it's not allowed to fly too high, so it's exciting here." Luo Jisi looked like he was looking at a fool, with white eyes, looking like he was very ignorant.
The man didn't have the heart to meet this 'big-chested' woman, and he was still thinking about the next step in his heart.
Judging from the inexplicable preferential treatment he received in the military camp today, Shi Liang was already faintly aware of it. The reason why he was able to get out of trouble safely from the teacher's case, and instead of falling, he rose up, and came to Shangyuan Town, where he was unfamiliar with his life, to be the head of the line and the right post chief, I am afraid that he has a direct relationship with Lin Muyan's father, who has met several times.
But how can I get close to Xiaoyan? Xiaoyan's marriage came too suddenly, and in a hurry, so that his superficial plan was hastily planned, and in the face of this remnant of the former dynasty who had been entrenched in Shangyuan for a long time and had huge inner energy, there were still many imperfect details that needed to be finalized urgently.
"Tuk-tuk." There was a knock on the door just in time.
"Please come in!" Luo Jisi was the first to open his mouth unceremoniously, as if he enjoyed this sense of disobedience and substitution.
"Chief Shi, there are two of your old friends outside the yamen, who came to visit, uh..." Entering the door was the little guy of the Peony Club who had received Shi Liang and Luo Jisi before, and he should have heard the promise of the woman in the house, so he opened the door of the public house casually, but the pair of white long legs that jumped into his eyes suddenly surprised a wit.
I didn't expect this special secretary to be really special, and Chief Shi in broad daylight didn't pay attention to his own influence. The picture is so beautiful, and it's no wonder that this one is used to seeing the garden, that is, the one who is the head of the cluster. . . Brother's dashing little guy would think like this.
Shi Liang, who is still figuring out his plan to rob his relatives, has no leisure to discover this little guy's 'bad intentions'. Suddenly, I was interrupted by the sudden voice of this man. The disgruntled man suddenly stood up from the seat next to him, and said with a little anger: "Who? β
The little guy only said that it was a good thing for the post master who had just taken office because he broke it, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, and whispered: "Back to my lord, there are two chiefs of Bai Yanshi who came to visit outside the door, saying that they are your old friends." β

"Let me tell you a piece of news that no one else will know, that legendary female sand bandit on the border line is coming to our Shangyuan Town." In the Mingyue Restaurant, an old guest woman glanced at her little beard, telling several old friends around her about the rumors she heard yesterday.
The old brother's mysterious narration immediately aroused the interest of another flushed drunkard in his seat, and he asked drunkenly: "Is that the female monster who is said to be able to tear dragon beasts by hand?" β
"Yes, yes, yes!" The old guest poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and tasted back: "This female bandit doesn't know where she came from, she is crazy and kills people all day long, but I heard that she likes to pick young men to arrest." β
A guest at the next table listened to their discussion and joined in the small talk at the right time: "I know the female sand bandit you are talking about. I heard that there was a troop sent to the border camp to pursue and sweep in the desert for nearly three months, but they didn't even touch the shadow of the female bandit. β
On the other hand, there was a beautiful man who seemed to be merry, scratched his exposed belly, propped up a big hairy leg, and said leisurely: "Tell you some top secrets that ordinary people will not know." I am an old man of Bai Yanshi, and he secretly told me during a meal that behind this female sand bandit was a new high-ranking official of Bai Yanshi's regiment who was backing him. β
The bearded guest's words immediately aroused the empathy of some guests who had similar experiences and suffered losses, and one of them resonated: "No wonder, I will say how she can be such a woman, so fast, to stand firm in that desert where jackals, tigers and leopards are rampant, and to mix so well in the border area where birds do not pull poops." β
The drunkard who spoke first was a little drunk, and after a full glass, he smiled strangely: "Hehe, it turns out that the female bandit is in cahoots with the officials of the Bai Yan Division." I'm afraid that the official is relying on the support of this female bandit to collect money for his own promotion path. "There are many times when it is really drunk and intimidating, and some people are the most able to vent the dirty thoughts in their hearts after they are drunk.
On the contrary, it was the old customer who brought up the topic of conversation, patted his brother's shoulder, made a silent gesture, and scolded with a smile: "But I don't dare to say more." β
"In this way, brother, the news you just said is so afraid that it can't be faked. Don't forget, after tomorrow, it will be the day when the young lady of the Lin family gets married. A businessman from outside the city who listened to the bustle interjected and reminded.
γγγγγγ
The conversation was fierce here, and someone whispered next to him: "Yes, yes, it's eventful, you still have to be careful when you go out recently." β
γγγγγγ
In the Mingyue Restaurant, the chatting was very intense, and the squires and merchants who had spare time were all worried, although they were eating the drunkenness of today, they were worried about the uneasiness of tomorrow.
Among these people, naturally no one will pay attention to the fact that on the streets of this town where businessmen and tourists come and go very frequently, there is suddenly a female man who is dressed in simple clothes, has a strong body, and seems to be a heroic man, his eyes are full of obsession, wandering in a daze, and muttering: "Brother Kai!" Where are you? The slave family really wants to see you again! β
ββββββββββββ
In the carved mansion to the west, in a rather extravagant courtyard, festive red lanterns with gold are hung everywhere, apparently just completed the wedding room. Red, pink, orange, yellow, gold, five-color splendid satin is full of carved beams and columns, and there is a huge hand-knotted brocade cluster on the ceiling, highlighting the extraordinaryness of the night banquet of the wealthy family in the day after tomorrow.
"Ah!!h A burly man with a strong body and a distorted face suddenly let out a miserable cry in his room, "Why!! β
But at this time, there was a frightened and cowardly little maidservant, tremblingly brought a stack of sumptuous meals, stood outside the door, and whispered to herself: "Young Master Ming, it's time for dinner." β
"Why !!" The voices in the room were still as crazy as they were, as if a terrifying beast was trapped inside, suffering inhuman suffering.
Although it was still separated by a door, it had already scared this young girl into staggering, and she hurriedly stabilized her body in a panic, and she thought that she had ten thousand thoughts in her heart, wanting to run away immediately. However, the rules in the mansion are not allowed to be broken, and the little maid who sold herself into slavery still needs to complete her task today.
The girl stood in front of the door, waited for a long time and did not respond, and became even more timid, but she had to bite the bullet, quietly bent down and slowly opened the door carefully, and called softly: "Young Master Ming, I-"
At this moment, the man's thick arm instantly poked out of the door, grabbed the girl's tender white neck, and lifted half a height despite the little maid's instinctive desperate struggle.
"You! Why do this to me! Ahββ!h In the frightened scratching of the maid, the man was already disheveled, unconscious, a pair of resentful eyes, bloodshot, pupils constricted, like a mad beast, full of perverted grievances.
The little maid in the yard soon lost her voice, and the young life should have died like this.
γγγγγγ
"Chief steward, this is already the second maid who was pinched to death by Young Master Ming." A young steward stood respectfully beside the old servant of the Lin family and whispered a report.
The old man sighed sadly: "Alas, what a sin! As he spoke, he couldn't help but pinch the string of old wooden beads hanging in his hand, and ordered, "It's for the girl's parents, send more funeral money." β
"Chief steward, do we still need to send an envoy to Young Master Ming?" The young servant nodded, and asked about his concern, two maidservants died one after another, and he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, "Now the little maids in the mansion are all panicked, and they are all afraid that they will be sent to serve Young Master Ming." β
"I'm afraid that now, only the master and the young lady will be able to appease Young Master Ming." The old housekeeper also shook his head, and naturally felt a little embarrassed in his heart, after all, this is a living human life.
The young steward was full of sorrow, and couldn't help muttering, "But, young lady, sheβ" but the old man's sudden stern eyes stopped what he wanted to say later. I couldn't help but recall in my heart that my father's past instructions: The affairs of the master's family are not something that one of his servants can discuss.
The old housekeeper thought about it for a long time, and then he instructed the child in front of him: "Forget it, there is one more day, which is the day of Young Master Ming's wedding, for the time being, remove all the maids in Young Master Ming's room, and send two clever little maids to go, you add a little more manpower to the nursing home, look at it, don't make trouble again, it's unlucky." β
After the order, looking at the figure of the young steward leaving in a hurry to arrange affairs, he couldn't help but sigh again: "Alas! But he didn't know that he was sympathizing with the pity of the young master Ming, who was tormented to the point of madness before the marriage; is still lamenting the lives of his own slaves, who are too cheap.
