Chapter 182: Father and Daughter Meet

The situation is critical.

Zhao Liding said: "I can ride." ”

Leng Yuhu helped Zhao Liding onto the horse, and a group of people got on the horse, whipped the horse, and ran westward, panicking like a bird with a bow, anxious like a fish that slipped through the net, like flying away, never looking back.

A night of madness.

He had already come to the outside of Sheyang City, called to open the city gate, and a group of people hugged Zhao Liding to the yamen.

After a shout, the magistrate personally greeted the yamen and welcomed Zhao Liding and others into the house. This Zhao Liding is a well-known corrupt official, in the pirate's den, he was beaten by pirates several times, and was seriously injured.

This Zhao Liding was kidnapped by pirates, changed several places a day, tortured enough, and the pirates took turns beating him, although the skin was open all over the body, and the blood was dripping, but it was not a fatal injury, but he was lying on the bed, unable to turn over, very sad.

Zhao Liding couldn't stop scolding thousands of pirates, and even scolded Sheyang Zhixian for a while. The magistrate blushed, lowered his head, and couldn't make a sound.

Zhao Liding shouted: "Quickly invite the benefactors who saved me." ”

Leng Yuhu, Wang Hong and others walked in and stood in front of the bed, with blood stains on their bodies, and they hadn't been cleaned yet.

This Zhao Liding is white and fat, although he has experienced some torture, the fat on his body has not been reduced, he said:

"Thank you heroes for saving me!"

"Should, should. ”

Zhao Liding asked, "The hero's surname?"

Leng Yuhu said: "I am Zhao Yuhu. ”

Wang Hong said: "My name is Wang Hong. ”

Zhao Liding said: "What is the origin of the heroes? I, Zhao, will not forget you." ”

Leng Yuhu said: "I am the guard of Lord Hu, the governor of Zhejiang. When Lord Hu heard the news that Lord Zhao had been kidnapped, he was very anxious and sent his subordinates to rescue him. I came here quickly, isolated and helpless, and I had no choice but to contact this Wang Hong gang leader. The leader of the Wang gang is the leader of the Canal Gang, and there are a large number of people in their gang, and when they heard that Lord Zhao was kidnapped, they sent the brothers in the gang to investigate. A brother happened to come to Sheyang County and became suspicious when he heard that one person was drunk and bragging with another. At that time, he quietly followed the drunken man to Taipingfang Village, and when he saw that there were pirates guarding the house inside and outside, he guessed that Lord Zhao was locked in the house. ”

Zhao Liding said "oh".

Leng Yuhu said: "When we got the news, we came with Gang Master Wang to save the adults." Now, Lord Zhao is safe, and the task assigned by Governor Hu has been completed. ”

Zhao Liding said: "I am a person who has revenge and kindness, and from now on, you will be my benefactor." After a pause, he said: "Governor Hu Shangcao is also my life-saving benefactor, and in a few days, I will personally go to Hangzhou to thank him for saving my life in person." ”

The doctor came, inspected Zhao Liding's injuries, and all the heroes walked out of the house.

Zhao Liding will rest for a few days. On this day, I got up and said that I was going to Hangzhou. Sheyang Zhixian sent officers and soldiers to escort them all the way. Gang Leader Wang left early, and Zhao Li told him words to repay his kindness in the future.

Leng Yuhu and others escorted Zhao Liding to Hangzhou with officers and soldiers. Because Zhao Liding's injuries were not healed, he had to hire a big boat and lie in the cabin to recuperate.

On the road, the group arrived safely in Hangzhou.

Governor Hu got the news and personally went out of the city to greet him.

Zhao Liding got out of the cabin and walked to the bow of the boat, Governor Hu walked on the boat, and Zhao Liding took his hand and didn't let go:

"Thank you for saving your life, it's unforgettable!"

"Lord Zhao is fine, it's fine!"

The two sat in a sedan chair and came to the governor's yamen, Hu Shangcao set up a banquet for Zhao Liding to drink and suppress the shock, and the heroes accompanied each other.

The atmosphere is lively. Zhao Liding stood up, picked up the wine glass, and said to Governor Hu: "Thank you for your life-saving grace, let's drink this cup." ”

Governor Hu stood up, picked up his wine glass, and said, "Please." ”

The two of them stood and drank it all.

Zhao Liding said: "From now on, we are friends of life and death." As long as you say a word, I will never give up. ”

Governor Hu smiled and said, "I don't know how many things will happen in the future, I want to trouble you Brother Zhao." ”

"Well said, well said. ”

At this time, Mrs. Hu passed by in front of the courtyard, accompanied by several maids, among whom was a woman with a delicate appearance.

Zhao Liding's eyes were sharp, looking at the woman, unconsciously stunned. Governor Hu asked, "Brother Zhao, what's wrong?"

That Zhao Liding was just stunned and didn't speak.

The woman also looked into the hall, and suddenly saw the characters in the hall, and she was also stunned.

Zhao Liding asked in a panic, "Who is that woman?"

Governor Hu said, "That's my wife." ”

"I'm talking about the girl in white next to me. ”

Governor Hu said: "She, she has no father or mother, she came to Hangzhou alone, lonely, very pitiful, I asked her to come to the mansion and be a companion for Mrs. ”

Zhao Liding walked out unconsciously, and the woman outside the court seemed to recognize Zhao Liding, gave up his wife, and walked towards Zhao Liding.

The two approached and looked at each other with teary eyes. The woman cried out:

"Father!"

Zhao Liding choked up and said, "It's Yu'er." ”

"It's the child. ”

This woman is Zhao Yu.

Zhao Liding has worked hard all his life, calculated everything, and earned tens of thousands of family properties, but there is only this daughter, who doesn't want to jump into the river a few years ago. Unexpectedly, today they suddenly met, his daughter stood alive in front of him, he couldn't help revealing his true feelings, sadness came from it, and the tears in his eyes fell straight down like pearls with broken threads.

Zhao Liding choked up and said, "I thought I would never see you again in this life." ”

"The child, the child misses his father. ”

This Zhao Liding is greedy for money and has a despicable character, but when he suddenly saw his daughter today, he was so surprised and overjoyed that he cried loudly, stepped forward and hugged his daughter, and said:

"You miss your father. ”

Zhao Yu was in his father's arms, and he also cried bitterly.

Zhao Liding muttered: "Since you fell into the river that night, I sent people to investigate everywhere, I had to see you, but you can't see anyone alive, you can't see a corpse when you die." Over the past few years, I have been sending people to various places to inquire about you, but I have never received any news. Your mother misses you, and her eyes are blinded with tears. ”

Zhao Liding stopped crying, pulled his daughter Zhao Yu, and said to Governor Hu who came with him:

"This is my daughter. I've been asking around for a few years, and today I've finally found her. ”

Governor Hu clapped his hands and said, "Congratulations to Lord Zhao, the family reunion is really gratifying! Come, let's take a new seat and drink to celebrate." ”

The two adults held hands and walked back into the hall.

Leng Yuhu and Zhang Jinhua looked at Xu Wentao coldly, and understood in their hearts that he must have secretly designed it to let the father and daughter meet.

The hall was full of joy, and the drinking lasted for more than an hour before it ended, and then the crowd slowly dispersed.

On the second day, continue drinking. However, this time for drinking, only Governor Hu and Zhao Liding were the only two, and no one else was present.

Zhao Liding said: "My daughter is thanks to you for saving me. I will remember your love for the rest of my life. ”

Governor Hu said: "Where is it, I will have to rely on your help in the future." ”

After a few days of chaos, Zhao Liding kept in mind the mission of the imperial court, went to the beach to worship the sea god, and returned to Hangzhou, where he came to say goodbye to Governor Hu and was about to return to the capital to restore his life.

Governor Hu set up a wine cannon.

Zhao Liding was going to take his daughter back to the capital and reunite with the family, but thinking about forcing her daughter to marry Yan Song's son, her daughter was unwilling to jump into the river Mingzhi, afraid that she would have a bad heart and couldn't let go. Zhao Liding then decided that after he returned to the capital, he would let his wife come to Hangzhou to meet his daughter.

During the drinking room, Zhao Liding asked Governor Hu to take care of his daughter. Governor Hu was full of promises.

Governor Hu collected all the gold and silver treasures in the palace, plus large and small officials, and the tribute and property of the rich families in the city were all packed into boxes, a total of six or seven boxes, and they were all sent to the big ship on which Zhao Liding was sitting. This Zhao Liding escaped death and returned with a full load.

When parting, Governor Hu said to Zhao Liding: "I have a friend named Feng Delin, who is now locked up in Fusi, Jingcheng Town, and has been tortured, and his family has lost all his wealth in order to save him. The foolish brother asked the virtuous brother if he could try to save him. ”

This Feng Delin is Feng Yue's father, Feng Yue is Xu Wentao's best friend, and the winner of the West Lake Competition. At the time of parting, Xu Wentao asked Governor Hu to meet Zhao Liding and asked him to help try to rescue him.

Zhao Liding listened, lowered his head and whispered a few words in Governor Hu's ear.
