I saw a girl in pink standing in the middle of the courtyard, under the faint moonlight, her body was slender, her skin was as white as jade, her lips were red and her teeth were white.

Although she was obviously wearing a maid's clothes, and her hair looked random and messy, not only did she not make people feel embarrassed, but she was smart and playful, and she didn't do anything, just standing there so casually, giving people a sense of oppression.

More powerful than the county lord himself.

In contrast, the real county lord seems immature.

Her status is noble, and it can be seen at a glance that she is wearing the clothes of a maid, and she is clearly in trouble.

Just now, I took the initiative to speak again, which means that the two of them looked at each other, and they both had a sense of God helping me in their hearts.

Not only did they lose their previous tension, but they all relaxed.

There was even some excitement.

"What the two of you just said, I overheard it, and Mao recommended myself, I don't know what the two of you think?"

The two of them had already looked her up and down, seeing that she was young and alone, appearing here, not only did she not have any fear, but behaved casually, and even had a sense of looking down on her.

made the two more satisfied.

The only shortcoming is probably that Wei Zi appeared too suddenly, and the origin is unknown, which makes them a little worried, and they have a feeling that they can't grasp it.

"If the girl is interested, we naturally can't ask for it, why don't we go into the house with the two of us to talk in detail?"

The person who spoke was a little younger of the two, and his expression was a little unruly, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and listening to the voice, it was this suggestion he made.

Wei Zi nodded casually, as if he didn't realize at all that after entering the house, he would be alone, and the other party would not be bad for him.

After the three of them sat down, the unruly young man took the lead and said: "Since the girl intends to join us, I will first make an introduction, I am Yuan Qiang, this is my brother, Zhuang Ming, we are both retainers of King Rui."

Rui Wang and his wife have been in Longdi for many years, and the county lord was born in Longdi, but unfortunately Princess Rui has not been in good health since she gave birth to the county lord, and the climate of Longdi is not as good as raising people in Beijing, and she went for a few years.

Only the county lord was left, helpless in Longdi, the saint was sympathetic, and the county lord was specially allowed to return to Beijing, escorted by our retainers, and as a result, he encountered bandits on the road.

After that, the girl should have heard it, and I won't repeat it.

Isn't the girl going to tell us the truth?"

Wei Zi nodded, since these two people are retainers, they should be more familiar with the county lord's family, and dare to take risks, indicating that the other party can basically guarantee that no one in the capital has seen the county lord.

"It's not peaceful tonight, there is a family in the west walking on the water, I don't know if you know. ”

"Are you talking about Li Shangshu's family?

The two of them immediately tensed.

"Yes, I am not only from Li Shangshu's family, but also the eldest lady of the Li family. ”

The two of them originally looked wrong, thinking that the matter of the county lord had already been exposed, so Li Shangshu would send someone to provoke them and ask them to explain the facts of their crimes.

Maybe the net has already been laid outside.

However, when Wei Zi said that she was the eldest lady of the Li family, they relaxed instead.

If the conspiracy of the two of them was discovered, it would never be to let his daughter take the risk alone, which is unreasonable.

So both of them stood still and listened to Wei Zi continue.

"My mother is the original match, the current mother of the Li family, just a concubine, my mother gave birth to me not long ago, she became my father's successor, and gave birth to a younger sister, it is the second miss of the Li family.

Before my mother died, she made a marriage contract for me, and I, not only because of my mother's death, but also suddenly disappeared a few days before the marriage contract.

My marriage contract became my second sister's.

I, on the other hand, was locked up in a secret room in an abandoned compound, eating leftovers that even the dogs didn't eat. ”

When Wei Zi described it, she didn't see her gritting her teeth, but the two people who listened to it felt a chill for no reason.

"Fortunately, God did not kill me, and I was able to escape. ”

"The Fire ......"

"Of course I put it in, otherwise, there are many guards, how can I escape, right?"

Wei Zi's tone was brisk, really like a naïve and ignorant lady.

This identity, and experience, is also suitable, as the eldest lady, there are definitely not many appearances, plus the family is a stepmother, there is any entertainment on weekdays, and the possibility of taking her is not very high.

In this way, there should not be many people in the capital who have seen her, but they have seen her, so what is it, it will only be a coincidence.

Li Shangshu's family, since he locked up his daughter and let his second daughter get married, presumably, he never thought about letting her out again.

Besides, now that the person has been lost, there must be an explanation, a violent death or something.

Even if they see each other again, they doubt the identity of the county lord, and they also dare not speak out.

Thinking of this, the two of them already had an idea in their hearts.

"The county lord has suffered a lot before, and his fate is difficult, and we two brothers will definitely escort the princess back to Beijing safely. ”

Yuan Qiang took the lead in expressing his attitude.

"From now on, the honor and disgrace of our brothers will be tied to the county lord. ”

"Glory and wealth, I will never forget the two in the future. ”

The three of them made an oath, and this alliance was officially established.

"The situation of the county lord, you also have to tell me in detail, including the title of the county lord, the name of the boudoir, what relatives and friends, living habits, and the customs in Longdi, you all have to tell me about it.

Just in case. ”

The two knew that from now on, they and Wei Zi were grasshoppers on the same rope, and they didn't dare to hide anything, so they told all the information they knew.

"In this way, you don't know much about the county lord's original preferences. ”

"Although we are retainers of the Rui Wangfu, but after all, we are all men, and we only know about these habits of the county lord after more contact on the road, but one of the county lord's maidservants also escaped, and after the county lord died, I asked her to take care of the county lord's body. Prepare to wait for the end of the matter, and make plans. ”

"There is a handmaid, will she listen to us?"

"It doesn't matter what happened before, just make it clear to her, after all, no one wants to die, the county lord is dead, and it's not us who harms us, if you don't listen to us, everyone will be dead, as long as you are not a fool, you will definitely agree." ”

Wei Zi nodded, "Where did the county lord die, how far is it from here, and why did you come to the capital first?"

Wei Zi suddenly asked.

"It's just two hundred miles west of the capital, and it's only two days away.

At first, I was thinking about going back to the capital to report the news, but when I really arrived in the capital, I thought that there were only the two of us left, that is, I was spared the death penalty, and I am afraid that there is no way to live.

So, I quietly rented a yard and stayed, not daring to face it at all. ”

Wei Zi thought carefully for a long time, and finally said, "Without further ado, we will leave early tomorrow morning to rush back, as for the few days delayed, it doesn't matter, just say that the county lord encountered robbers, and after escaping, he was frightened and fell ill on the road." ”

"Can't you hide the robbery of the county lord? Why do you have to tell it yourself?"

Zhuang Ming lost his voice.

Yuan Qiang didn't say much, and it seemed that he agreed with Wei Zi's statement.

"Hide the past? How can you hide it? The county lord has nothing now, and he doesn't even have a salute, how can you hide the past.

And these days, how to explain the delayed trip? The county lord doesn't want to say, it's because he is afraid that his reputation will be damaged, what do we want, it's fate.

Of course, how reasonable and how to come.

Did the robber see the true face of the county lord?"

"No, the county lord changed the maid's clothes, and we took him out and ran out, and the one who died was the maid. ”

"Then it's easier, even the county lord dares to rob it, and the imperial court will naturally send a large army to clear it, and when the time comes, all the things that are lost will come back.

Do you have a list of items? When the time comes, they will definitely send us back, and maybe, the Holy One will be sympathetic and send some things to suppress the shock. ”

"What about us, won't the Holy One condemn sins?"

"Why do you want to condemn sin, not only is it not a sin, but it has a great merit.

I was robbed by robbers, you two put life and death out of the way, and successfully saved me from the hands of thieves, even if you don't add officials to the knighthood, you should also have a rich reward. ”

Zhuang Ming's eyes lit up, although he was talking about a certain future, but before, what he was most concerned about was whether he could avoid this catastrophe.

He hadn't thought about the addition of knighthood and rewards before.

Now as long as everything goes well, he can even get a holy reward, which makes him a little excited.

"When the county lord escaped, he brought a personal baggage, which should be more valuable, and the list of items may be in it. ”

"Where's the baggage? It won't be with that maid, right? If I hadn't waited for you after so long, I would have run away with the baggage. Who is still waiting to die.

If you have possessions, go farther and live more freely, as much as you can be. ”

Wei Zi said coolly.

"No matter how rough our minds are, we don't dare to throw the burden to a maid, we have always carried it closely, because we haven't thought about what to do before, so this burden has never been opened.

Now that we've discussed it today, I'll bring the county lord's baggage, and let's take a look at it first. ”

With that, Yuan Qiang went back to the back room, rummaged through it, and after a while, he took out a month-white package and put it on the table.

The three of them sat around the table and watched Yuan Qiang slowly open the package.

There are not many things inside, a jewelry box, and a small wooden box, I don't know what it contains.

Jewelry boxes are not very important, but they are just some valuable jewelry.

Therefore, what the three of them are most concerned about is this small wooden box.
