Chapter 151 What a bad luck

"Sister, where have you been?"

Mei Shuang, who was helping Lin Xuelan weave baskets, asked when she saw Mei Yun coming back in despair.

She looked around and found that no one was willing to accept their sisters except this girl Lin.

So, after weighing the situation, she decided to establish a good relationship with Miss Lin first and inquire about the Lin family's affairs.

When Mei Yun saw her sister, she said with an aggrieved face: "That Mrs. Lin is too scary. I went to apologize to her, but she not only scolded me, but also asked her husband to throw hidden weapons at me. You see, my neck is bleeding."

As she spoke, she pointed to the wound on her neck that was scratched by the bamboo stick.

Mei Shuang laughed secretly, but there was an expression of indignation on her face.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard Lin Xuelan say: "Why are you provoking her? The entire exile team knows that she is like a female bandit. No one dares to provoke her."

Mei Shuang followed the words and said: "She is so fierce, how can her husband tolerate her?"

Speaking of Yuan Xiu, Lin Xuelan's temper also rose.

He said angrily: "Who can say otherwise? In ordinary people's homes, this kind of woman would have been kicked out a long time ago. But her husband liked her style and beat me several times because of her."

"You were beaten too. "Yes?" Mei Yun felt as if she had seen a relative, and ran to sit next to Lin Xuelan.

Lin Xuelan nodded and said bitterly: "It was all instigated by Lin Xuezhu. I don't know what tricks she used to seduce Brother Yuanxiu as if he had lost his soul."

Mei Shuang and Mei Yun looked at each other.

This is different from what the master said.

Didn't the master say that the relationship between the couple was not good?

If they had known that Lin Xuezhu was so favored, they would not have underestimated their enemy.

What an oversight.

"Miss Lin, there is something I don't quite understand." Mei Shuang asked, "Can exiled prisoners ride in carriages?"

Lin Xuelan snorted coldly, "Of course not, but I have the support of Prince Yan and Prince Qing, so I have nothing to fear."

Listen . When she talked about Prince Qing, the expressions of the two sisters changed slightly.

How could the prince support her?

Is this Mrs. Lin using the prince's name to benefit herself?

However, even if they had suspicions, they could not say anything.

If you tell me, your identity will be revealed.

"Then where did they get the money to buy the carriage?" Mei Shuang asked again.

Speaking of this, Lin Xuelan became even more angry.

If it weren't for Lin Xuezhu, she would be the one riding the carriage now!

So, she said: "She didn't get it through dishonorable means."

Mei Shuang and Mei Yun listened and understood this "disgraceful means" for a long time.

In their imagination, there are no other dishonorable methods that a woman can use, but selling herself out is naturally the only one.

Mei Shuang pretended to be surprised, covered her mouth gently and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Lin Xuelan was about to speak when she suddenly remembered that Zhou Shenyi was nearby.

In order to prevent him from getting angry at her again after hearing this, Lin Xuelan deliberately kept her voice to a minimum.

Said: "Her two carriages were obtained from Mr. Zhou. Now that Mr. Zhou has no carriage to ride in, she is at ease. She doesn't know where she got such a big face."

After hearing this, Mei Shuang's brows jumped.

When I looked at Zhou Shenyi again, it became somewhat clear.

That man looked blind, no wonder he would be deceived by someone like Lin Xuezhu.

The two sisters looked at each other with calculations in their eyes.

"On the road, on the road." At this time, the official sounded the gong.

Mei Shuang looked at the sky and said to Lin Xuelan in surprise: "It's going to be dark soon, why are you still going on the road?"

Lin Xuelan said as usual: "I have to make up for the time I lost when meeting the horse bandits."

As she said, She quickly packed up the basket weaving materials and waited for the team to move forward.

Within a quarter of an hour, the exile team all left.

In order to find a place to camp before it was completely dark, Liu Kui led the team significantly faster.

An hour later after setting up camp again, the exile team stopped in a huge cave.

Because the horse meat was divided during the day, most people did not have to go out to find food, but just made a fire to cook.

A small number of people, namely Zhou Shenyi, Lin Xuelan and the Mei sisters, were hungry at this time.

"Are the ten baskets finished?" Zhou Shenyi looked at Lin Xuelan impatiently.

If this woman didn't work, she would have no meaning for him.

Lin Xuelan said tremblingly: "We've compiled six."

"Then why don't you continue to compile?" Zhou Shenyi's eyes almost rolled to the sky.

Lin Xuelan didn't say anything, and quickly started weaving the canes.

Mei Yun looked at it curiously and asked: "We don't make food, but we just make baskets?"

Lin Xuelan rubbed her hungry belly and replied: "If you make ten baskets, you can go to Lin Xuezhu's to exchange for two steamed buns. " After that, she seemed to

suddenly remember something, and said to Mei Shuangmeiyun: "You should go out to find something to eat. It won't be safe to go out until it gets later.

She didn't want to share it with these two familiar sisters.

Two steamed buns were not enough for her and Zhou Shenyi.

Mei Shuang and Mei Yun did not expect that they would not even be able to eat when they entered the exile team.

In fact, they had some money with them, but now that they took it out, the village girl image that the owner had painstakingly designed for them was completely ruined.

What's more, they don't have a village in front of them or a shop in the back. Even if they have money, they can't spend it.

"It's so late at night, where are we going to find something to eat?" Mei Yun was unhappy.

Miss Lin is really stingy. During the day, she even said that she regarded the two of them as sisters, so now she wants to push them out?

Lin Xuelan pointed outside the cave, "Look carefully, there are always some wild vegetables and fruits. Otherwise, you can weave baskets. Ten baskets can be exchanged for two steamed buns."

When talking about weaving baskets, Mei Shuang suddenly remembered, She even helped Lin Xuelan edit it in the afternoon.

Although it's just a show.

But she also contributed to those six baskets.

Now, Lin Xuelan just keeps those six baskets for herself and doesn't plan to share any food with them?

Mei Shuang was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

Considering the current situation of their sisters, it is not time to break up with Lin Xuelan.

"Sister, let's go out and take a look." Mei Shuang said, pulling Mei Yun up and walking out.

Although Mei Yun didn't want to move, she couldn't resist her sister's firm attitude, so she followed reluctantly.

"I've been walking for an hour and I'm exhausted. Why do I have to find food by myself?"

After leaving the cave, Mei Yun frowned and complained, "Your Majesty only said that he would send us here, but he didn't say that the conditions were so difficult! If I had known I wouldn't have come, it's really unlucky!"

"Shut up, don't open your mouth, Your Majesty, shut up, Your Majesty. "Yes, are you afraid that others will find our flaws?" Mei Shuang shouted and said, "I'll take away all your nonsense. Now that you're here, think about how to fulfill the master's instructions." "

Chapter 152: When can I stop rolling on my back to sleep?

Mei Yun hates Mei Shuang's pretending to be serious.

She was unconvinced and said, "It's easy for you to say that. If we starve to death, we don't care what he says."

"Shh!" Mei Shuang quickly covered Mei Yun's mouth.

While Mei Yun was struggling, her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the person standing in front of her.

However, she suddenly remembered what happened in the afternoon when Yuan Xiu threw a bamboo stick at her, and she felt a little timid.

"Sister, that person is too scary." Mei Yun shrank back.

Mei Shuang glanced at her with disgust and said, "You wait here, I'll go over."

Lin Xuezhu had learned how to do it, but Yuan Xiu hadn't learned how to read it yet.

"Sister, be careful." Mei Yun said this sincerely.

After all, if Mei Shuang had any shortcomings, she would be even more isolated and helpless.

Mei Shuang didn't reply to Mei Yun's words, she had already put all her thoughts on Yuan Xiu.

She searched the ground with her eyes, pretending to be looking for something, while approaching Yuan Xiu's direction.

"Sir, do you know what kind of wild vegetables can be eaten?"

When she approached Yuan Xiu, she asked with a troubled face.

Yuan Xiu turned his head, glanced at her lightly, and said nothing.

Ha, after all, he is a man from the royal family, so his demeanor is different.

Mei Shuang was used to King Qing's behavior and didn't think there was anything wrong with Yuan Xiu's behavior.

As long as he didn't throw a hidden weapon at her, that was fine.

She took a few steps forward and pretended to be surprised: "Master, are you Madam Lin's husband?"

Yuan Xiu nodded slightly.

Mei Shuang immediately made a frightened expression and said, "I'm really offended. I'm leaving now. Please don't tell Madam Lin about seeing me."

After saying that, he turned around to leave.

"Why?" Yuan Xiu's voice sounded coldly behind her.

Mei's lips curled up slightly, showing a successful smile.

She paused and put on an aggrieved look.

He turned to Yuan Xiu and said, "Ms. Lin doesn't like me. If the young master mentions me, she will definitely make Mrs. Lin unhappy."

"Oh?" Yuan Xiu looked at her with interest and asked, "Why doesn't my lady like me?" You?"

Mei Shuang said aggrievedly: "I don't know, I just heard a few gossips. Maybe Mrs. Lin thinks that I am a gossip, but can I control what others say? I am really wronged by Lady Lin looking at me like this."

"What gossip?" Yuan Xiu asked calmly.

Mei Shuang shook her head quickly, "It's nothing. In my opinion, it's just that some people are jealous of Mrs. Lin's ability, so they spread rumors to slander Mrs. Lin. Women are like this. If they do well, they will not be recognized. Instead, others will say that they rely on men. "

Rely on men?" Yuan Xiu captured this word keenly.

Mei Shuang quickly covered her mouth, looking apologetic and at a loss.

"Sir, I'm too talkative. Just pretend you didn't hear what I just said." After Mei Shuang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The hurried look seemed like she had really made some mistake.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she took two steps, a bamboo stick flew from behind and nailed directly to the ground in front of her.

"Say." Yuan Xiu's voice had no warmth and was a little scary.

Mei Shuang was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she trembled and said, "Young master, don't force me, otherwise, Mrs. Lin will never let me go."

As soon as she finished speaking, another bamboo stick flew over.

Mei Shuang's legs went weak and she sat on the ground with a plop, terrified.

"Young Master, don't be angry, I said." She said, "Miss Lin told me, saying that Mrs. Lin has an unusual relationship with that Young Master Zhou."

Yuan Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

For a moment, he wanted to kill the tongue-tied woman in front of him with a bamboo stick.

What kind of bad story did she make up to damage Lin Xuezhu's reputation? Was it because she thought she would live too long?

However, thinking of Lin Xuezhu's words to leave her to deal with it slowly, he controlled his hand again.

"Don't mention this matter again in the future." Yuan Xiu warned coldly.

"Yes, I promise, I won't tell anyone, otherwise I'll be struck by lightning and die." Mei Shuang lowered her head, pretending to be scared, but she was actually happy in her heart.

Yuan Xiu didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore, so he turned and left.

After Yuan Xiu walked away, Mei Yun ran out from behind the tree where she was hiding.

She helped Mei Shuang up and asked, "Sister, what did you say to him? Why does he look so angry?" "

It's nothing." Mei Shuang patted the dirt on her skirt and said, "I'm just treating Lin What the girl said to us revealed a little bit. "

"You mean, the matter between Mrs. Lin and Mr. Zhou?" Mei Yun was shocked, "Sister, this matter has not been verified. If there is any discrepancy with the facts, then Yuan Xiu. Don't I want to kill you?"

"Don't worry, I didn't say it in one breath, but in a little bit of testing. If that Yuan Xiu showed any objection, I would be able to come back immediately after listening to my hint. He keeps asking, and it's obvious that he doesn't trust Lin Xuezhu very much. These two people are not as harmonious as they seem, but we can take advantage of this and find ways to drive a wedge between them." Mei Shuang said.

After hearing this, Mei Yun felt that it made sense.

Before, she just stood outside the carriage and said a few words, and Yuan Xiu rewarded her with a bamboo stick.

If he really didn't believe Mei Shuang's words, Mei Shuang might be dead at this moment.

It seems that he somewhat believes it.

And when he left, the expression on his face was also very angry. It was time to confront Lin Xuezhu.

"That being the case, we should be able to see the clues tomorrow morning if we take a look at the reactions of those two people." Mei Yun said.

Mei Shuang nodded, feeling very satisfied with her resourcefulness.

Just when he was feeling complacent, his stomach suddenly growled and a series of protests erupted.

Mei Shuang covered her stomach and glanced at Mei Yun in embarrassment.

No matter how clever she was, she couldn't stand it without eating or drinking, and her stomach was empty.

"Hurry, find something to eat." Mei Shuang said impatiently.

Mei Yun was not pretentious this time. Her stomach was growling with hunger. If she didn't eat, she didn't know if she would be able to wake up in the morning.

The two sisters dug hard in the soil.

As long as there is no strange smell and no poisonous look to the grass that has been collected, the soil will be thrown away and it will be rolled into the skirt.

When their skirts were full, they went to the stream, cleaned the wild vegetables and stuffed them into their mouths.

Their non-picky looks made it hard to believe that they were the same pair of sisters who were picky in the afternoon.

At this time, Yuan Xiu, leaning on a cane, had returned to the carriage, only to see Lin Xuezhu asleep.

She was lying on the edge of the pillow with her face sideways. Judging from her sleeping position, she must have tossed and turned several times.

Yuan Xiu laughed.

When will this silly girl stop rolling around and sleep?

He lay gently next to her, stretched out an arm, and slowly put it on her shoulder.

To prevent her from falling asleep and rolling onto him again.

Chapter 153 You must obey my arrangements

. "Oh my face." Lin Xuezhu woke up from her sleep and felt a numb pain on her face.

Because of the arrival of the Mei sisters, when she slept last night, her consciousness did not enter the space.

Mainly because she was afraid that the two of them would cause trouble at night and she would not be able to wake up in time.

As a result, after a long sleep, she found that her face had been pressed.

"Yuan Xiu, is that you?" She was angry.

Did you mean that you didn't care about her appearance, so you pressed her down to sleep, causing her disfigurement?

The more Lin Xuezhu thought about it, the angrier she became. She raised her small fist and hit Yuan Xiu on the chest.

Then, he opened the curtain and jumped out.

Yuan Xiu: This massage is not bad.

At this time, the Mei sisters had woken up early and were looking in the direction of the Lin family's carriage.

It was not that they were diligent, but they had stomach discomfort after eating raw wild vegetables last night.

In the middle of the night, I woke up hungry.

Once I woke up, I couldn't sleep again.

Therefore, they immediately discovered the movement of the Lin family's carriage.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu coming out with half of her face red, the two sisters looked at each other.

Sure enough, she was beaten.

Let's just say that no man can allow his wife to be confused with other men.

Lin Xuezhu rubbed her face and sat by the campfire.

Mother Ma smiled and said: "I saw that Miss Xuezhu slept well last night. I don't know if her face is so depressed."

Lin Xuezhu was annoyed and said: "Don't mention it. I don't know when this big red mark will be healed." Eliminate."

Mother Ma ran to the creek, found a smooth pebble, washed it, and handed it to her hand.

"Miss Xuezhu, roll this stone around, it should be a lot better."

Lin Xuezhu took the stone and put it on her face. A cool feeling came over her, which was very comfortable.

She held the stone and sat happily by the campfire, watching Grandma Ma make breakfast.

Mother Ma would run to her side from time to time to see if her red marks were gone.

In the eyes of the Mei sisters, this heartwarming scene was the old nanny comforting the beaten Lin Xuezhu.

"Sister, let's go out and find some food." Mei Yun rubbed her hungry belly, a little absent-mindedly.

Mei Shuang was also so hungry that her heart was close to her back. After hearing this, she said: "Come on, let's go out and take a look."

The two sisters came out of the cave and happened to meet Lin Xuezhu, who was hugging his knees and taking a nap by the campfire.

From Mei Shuang's point of view, Lin Xuezhu was quite sad after being beaten, and could not recover for a while while sitting by the campfire.

Mei Shuang raised the corners of her mouth proudly and walked past her gracefully.

Just watch, the excitement is yet to come.

"Sister, there are wild fruits over there." Mei Yun's sharp eyes first spotted large tracts of black and purple fruits in the bushes in the distance.

"Let's go." Mei Shuang quickened her pace.

She couldn't wait any longer. If she didn't eat anything, she felt like she was going to faint.

The two sisters got close to the bushes and squatted there picking fruits to eat.

The fruit is not delicious, there is no sweetness at all, and it is even a bit astringent.

The juice dyed their lips and tongues black and purple, but they didn't even notice.

There was only one thought in their minds - they didn't know when they would be able to eat their next meal, and they had to eat enough of the fruit they finally encountered.

In the camp, Zhou Shenyi brought ten rattan baskets and found Lin Xuezhu with confidence.

Lin Xuelan stayed up late last night to compile it. However, by the time she finished it, Lin Xuezhu had already gone to bed.

Helpless, Zhou Shenyi had to wait all night before taking the basket to exchange for steamed buns.

Lin Xuezhu took each basket in his hand and pulled it, and found that the quality was good and could be used to hold things.

So he gave Zhou Shenyi the agreed steamed buns.

Zhou Shenyi said: "Ms. Lin, ten baskets for two steamed buns is too little. Look, can you give me more steamed buns?"

Lin Xuezhu was unmoved, "I treat everyone equally. If others exchange steamed buns for ten baskets, it's too little." . If I set a precedent for you, will the number of steamed buns given to others also increase?"

Zhou Shenyi was speechless.

Lin Xuezhu saw that his expression was very depressed, and she secretly laughed in her heart.

This man is quite capable of bending and stretching. When he was rich and powerful, he would bully others without blinking an eye.

Even when you have no money or power, you can bow to others.

In this case, she gave him an idea to save him from starving every day.

"Mr. Zhou, although you are smart, you are not flexible." Lin Xuezhu said.

Zhou Shenyi looked at her doubtfully, obviously not understanding why she suddenly said this.

Just listen to Lin Xuezhu say slowly: "Then the Mei sisters are not welcomed by others and can only rely on you and Lin Xuelan. Why don't you know how to make use of the ready-made labor force?"

Zhou Shenyi didn't understand at first, but when he did, , immediately showed a meaningful expression.

When it comes to being smart, he still admires Lin Xuezhu.

But he was not stupid, so he sneered and said: "Ms. Lin is not on good terms with those sisters, so she wants to use my hand to contain the sisters? Mrs. Lin has a good calculation, and you are good at conspiracy."

Lin Xuezhu smiled slightly, He wrote lightly: "I really don't like the two of them, but I don't want to put them to death. If I leave people under your control, I will let them live. If I do it myself, they will be even worse."

Zhou Shenyi was full of pain . Yi Lin looked at Lin Xuezhu again.

Why is this woman becoming more and more terrifying?

However, he knew that she was telling the truth.

If the two sisters fell into her hands, it would indeed be even worse.

Just look at Zhou Shenyi's current situation.

Zhou Shenyi burst into tears when he thought of this.

Without saying a word, he took the buns and left.

Lin Xuezhu smiled.

What kind of conspiracy, what she is playing is a conspiracy.

So what if Zhou Shenyi knew that he was being used?

Will he not do something that is beneficial to him?

Facts have proved that Zhou Shenyi not only did it, but also implemented it quickly.

When the two sisters Mei Shuang and Mei Yun returned to the cave, their lips were as black and swollen as burnt sausages.

Both of them were speechless with tears in their eyes.

He kept pointing at his lips and making a babbling sound in his throat.

This scene frightened Lin Xuelan.

She stood up and asked, "What's wrong with you two? Didn't you go out to look for food? Why did you come back like this?"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh," Mei Shuang said.

Lin Xuelan didn't understand a word and looked at Mei Yun with confused eyes.

"Ah oh ah, uh huh huh huh." Mei Yun quickly explained.

Lin Xuelan was even more confused.

Helpless, she had no choice but to turn to Zhou Shenyi and ask, "Mr. Zhou, what happened to them?"

"Poisoned." Zhou Shenyi said lightly, as if he didn't care about the lives of others.

Lin Xuelan's Virgin Mary's aura was rising, and she quickly said: "Then please ask Mr. Zhou to save them."

"Oh, oh, uh-huh." Mei Shuang said with all her strength.

Zhou Shenyi slowly adjusted his clothes and said calmly: "You can save you if you want me to, but from now on, you must obey my arrangements. You must do whatever I ask you to do."

Chapter 154

The two sisters Mei Shuang and Mei Yun felt very regretful about not going back to weaving baskets.

Why do they have to eat that wild fruit? It's not delicious!

It's good now, everything the master told me was not done, and it was manipulated by a man who was neither a human nor a ghost.

Mei Shuang wanted to reject Zhou Shenyi, but Mei Yun on the side suddenly grabbed her neck and gasped.

"The wild fruits you eat have a paralyzing effect. If you don't get treatment in time, you will die of suffocation." Zhou Shenyi said without saltiness.

Mei Shuang's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Mei Yun's symptoms, she knew that Zhou Shenyi had not lied to them.

At this time, she also felt short of breath, but not as strong as Mei Yun.

But after a while, the toxicity will come up, and it may be something different.

Maybe he really will die.

Lin Xuelan observed Zhou Shenyi's expression and quickly said to the Mei sisters: "Just agree to Mr. Zhou, he is the only one who can save you now."

No matter what, she would never suffer a loss by helping Zhou Shenyi in front of outsiders.

Mei Shuang had no choice but to moan and her head felt like pounded garlic.

"What about you?" Zhou Shenyi turned to Mei Yun.

At this time, Mei Yun had several blood marks on her neck. She could only nod her head when she heard this.

Zhou Shenyi then stood up slowly and walked out.

While he was picking the medicine, the Mei sisters were already dead.

Seeing Zhou Shenyi coming in with a handful of herbs, the sisters immediately crawled over, grabbed the herbs and stuffed them into their mouths.

The herbs were so bitter and spicy that the sisters burst into tears.

However, they did not dare to stop, for fear that if they ate too slowly, they would be out of breath and die.

After a long time, the feeling of shortness of breath gradually eased.

The two sisters looked at each other as if they were escaping from death, both looking very weak.

"We're on the road, get ready."

At this time, the official sounded the gong.

The prisoners got up one after another, packed up their food and utensils, and headed out of the cave.

Zhou Shenyi glanced at Lin Xuelan lazily and said, "I'll leave these two to your training. Each of you must weave ten baskets for me every day. If they can't weave them, you won't be able to eat."

He had to . Said, Zhou Shenyi knows management.

Knowing that he could handle Lin Xuelan and then let Lin Xuelan handle the Mei sisters, he would be able to accomplish big things with a small amount of effort.

After hearing this, Lin Xuelan suddenly felt that she was different in Mr. Zhou's mind.

Although the Mei sisters are beautiful, they are far less affectionate than she and Mr. Zhou have been together for so long.

Since Mr. Zhou asked her to train the Mei sisters, she should train them well.

So, as the team set off, Lin Xuelan gave each of the Mei sisters a cane.

She stood between the sisters and showed them how to weave baskets.

Although Mei Shuang and Mei Yun were chess pieces raised by King Qing, they had never suffered real hardship.

After braiding for a while, blisters appeared on their delicate fingers.

"No, I can't make it up anymore." Mei Yun threw the cane on the ground, intending to smash it.

She still didn't believe it. With so many people watching, could Zhou Shenyi still kill her?

Lin Xuelan felt very unhappy when she saw that she was not cooperating.

They are just two village girls, no matter how coquettish they are, can they be more coquettish than the eldest lady of the Lin family?

How dare you show off in front of her? I really don't know how much I weigh.

"Sister Mei Yun, I advise you to pick up the things. I am a kind-hearted person. If you show your temper in front of me, I can pretend that I don't see it. But if you can't finish weaving ten rattan baskets today, you will be picked up by Zhou. It won't be that easy if the young master pursues the case," Lin Xuelan said, half hypocritically and half threatening.

"He was so powerful, so he killed me in front of everyone!" Mei Yun disagreed.

Lin Xuelan sneered and asked, "Do you really think he doesn't dare? Do you want to ask him how my father died?"

After hearing this, Mei Shuang and Mei Yun immediately grasped the key information and looked at Lin Xuelan.

They had long thought that the relationship between Lin Xuelan and Zhou Shenyi was very strange, but they didn't know that there was also a life-threatening lawsuit involved.

Seeing that the threat was effective, Lin Xuelan changed her heart-to-heart attitude and said: "He is a doctor. He can save people, but he can also kill people invisible. My father is an exiled prisoner and is protected by official officials. It is difficult for him to escape, let alone you." "If something happens to you, there won't even be anyone to defend you."

The last words spoke directly to Sister Mei's heart.

They were left here to do business by their master. Before leaving, the master neither said when he would take them back nor who he would send to meet them.

Isn't this just because no one knows about it even after death?

Thinking of this, Mei Yun guiltily picked up the rattan she had thrown on the ground and continued to weave it aggrievedly.

They didn't know that in the carriage behind them, Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu were sitting side by side, gnawing on fruit and watching them suffer.

"Madam, you are good at planning." Yuan Xiu admired sincerely.

Just by diverting trouble to the east, she was able to play tricks on her.

Lin Xuezhu chuckled, and the apple crunched in his mouth.

If you fight directly with an evil person, you will lose your status.

If you are an evil person, you must leave it to the evil person to grind.

And she, sitting in the carriage, made thirty baskets a day, how comfortable it was.

Thinking of the baskets of cherries, grapes, bayberries, pipas, peaches, strawberries, watermelons and other delicious fruits in the space, she felt that life couldn't be too beautiful.

Even if she opens a fruit shop, she won't be as happy as she is now.

After struggling for so long, she can finally lie down peacefully.

In the afternoon, the exile team rested in a small forest.

As usual, the official distributed a steamed bun to each person.

Zhou Shenyi came with ten rattan baskets and exchanged two steamed buns with Lin Xuezhu.

After returning, he ate both steamed buns.

Sisters Mei Shuang and Mei Yun were weaving baskets until their fingers were bald, but they couldn't eat a bite of lunch. Unbearable, they decided to protest to Zhou Shenyi.

Zhou Shenyi wrote lightly: "Let each of you weave ten baskets, and give me six buns every day. I will eat four, and the remaining two are yours. This morning, the three of you only made ten in total. If you can't exchange for steamed buns, why do you ask me for them?"

Sister Mei was speechless.

Mei Yun said: "We made the basket, why did all the steamed buns fall into your stomach? Shouldn't the steamed buns be given to us and then distributed by us?"

"This is your life-saving money." Zhou Shenyi narrowed his eyes dangerously.

He was already as pale as paper, with sinister eyes, and when he put on a threatening face, he looked even more terrifying.

The two sisters suddenly remembered what Lin Xuelan had said, and suddenly felt a deep chill rising up their backs.

"If you don't go back to weaving baskets, don't you want to have dinner?" Zhou Shenyi narrowed his eyes.

Mei Yun was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Mei Shuang was calmer than her and tugged at the corner of her clothes to signal her to endure the anger.

The two sisters fought to no avail. When they returned, they saw Lin Xuelan eating all her buns, and they became even more angry.

However, after what happened in the morning, they didn't dare to eat anything they didn't recognize.

I can only swallow my anger and speed up the basket weaving.

Chapter 155 These people chasing me are the thugs in the flower house.

Lin Xuezhu sat in the carriage all morning and felt a little tired, so she got out and walked in the woods.

By the way, let's see if we can find some resources that are not available in her space.

As she walked, she found an oak tree.

Unripe acorns hang all over the branches, making it very lively.

There was no oak tree in Lin Xuezhu's space, so he planned to move closer and collect the tree.

She took long steps, weaving through waist-high weeds.

Suddenly, she felt soft under her feet, as if she had stepped on something.

She lowered her head and looked into the grass.

I thought it was an injured bird or a toad, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a small human hand.

The little hands were black, even the nails were filled with mud, but they were the hands of a child.

"I'm sorry." She bent down and tried to pull up the little hand.

But the child was crawling on the ground and competing with her.

Lin Xuezhu felt strange and looked around, but saw no one else.

So, she pushed aside the weeds, squatted down, and looked at the child.

The child's face was also dark, his expression was frightened, and his body was trembling slightly, but he still stubbornly crawled to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Lin Xuezhu asked puzzledly.

She guessed that the child ran out from somewhere, and there were probably soldiers chasing him.

The child didn't answer, just kept the same posture, motionless.

With this child here, Lin Xuezhu wanted to take away the oak tree but couldn't.

Just when she was about to leave, she suddenly heard several men's voices coming from the other side of the woods.

"Search separately, we must not let him escape."

Then, there was a rustling sound coming from all directions.

As the sound got closer, the child shivered more and more.

He finally raised his head and looked at Lin Xuezhu for help.

Lin Xuezhu had no choice but to take some drug from the space and shake it on the child.

When the child's eyes became confused, she took him into the space.

Then, before the men came over, he quickly retracted the oak tree into the space.

After doing this, she turned and walked towards the camp.

"Who is it, stop!"

Several men heard the movement on her side and quickly approached her.

Lin Xuezhu stopped as he was told, turned around, and looked at the few people with an innocent face.

These people were dressed in casual clothes, and their origins could not be identified from their clothes.

When they met Lin Xuezhu, one of them asked in a rough voice: "Madam, did you see a six or seven-year-old boy passing here?" Lin

Xuezhu blinked and asked: "What kind of little boy?"

Her attitude was serious, and the man described it carefully: "The little boy is short in stature. He looks to be more than five years old. He is dirty and has messy hair."

Lin Xuezhu smiled, "Several of you, we banish such a little boy. " There are several in the team."

"Exiled team?" The man was suspicious.

Lin Xuezhu pointed behind him, "It's over there. If anything happens to you guys, you might as well talk to our officials. Maybe they can help."

"That's no need." The man said with a sneer. " We'll just look for it ourselves." Lin Xuezhu

nodded to them, "Then I'll leave now."

The man frowned as he looked at her happily leaving, and then said, "Continue searching!"

Behind a big tree, I saw several men dispersed, so I chose one of them and followed him quietly.

The man was so focused on looking for someone in the grass that he didn't even notice that he was being followed.

After walking for a while, Lin Xuezhu suddenly said, "Have you found it?"

The man was startled and turned around almost like a catapult.

Lin Xuezhu looked at his face and threw a lot of poison.

The man's face showed a fierce look, and just as he was about to take the penis out of his arms, Lin Xuezhu slapped him on the head with the back of a knife.

His head hurt so much that he took a few deep breaths and then fainted.

Lin Xuezhu calmly stepped back a few meters, took off the wet cloth covering his nose, took out his bamboo whistle, and blew a few syllables.

While waiting for someone to arrive, she took the little boy out of the space.

After a while, she saw two figures running towards her.

One is Yuan Xiu and the other is Lu Mo.

Yuan Xiu was still on crutches, but his movement speed was no slower than Lu Mo.

"Madam, what happened?" Yuan Xiu asked eagerly.

Lin Xuezhu looked at his legs, and they seemed to be fine.

So he said: "I went out to look for food and found that this child was evading pursuit. There were several men chasing him, and I had already knocked one of them unconscious. I was thinking about whether I should take them two back and investigate them carefully. ?"

Yuan Xiu felt relieved when he saw that Lin Xuezhu was intact.

But seeing her minding her own business uncharacteristically, I felt a little curious.

"Does Madam even take care of the children passing by now?" he asked with a smile.

Lin Xuezhu was stunned, grabbed the little boy's hand and showed it to him.

He also said: "I accidentally stepped on someone's hand, so I have to do a favor to be considered an apology."

Yuan Xiu nodded, indicating that everything his wife said was right.

He turned to Lu Mo and said, "Go and drive the carriage over. Just say that the lady twisted her foot."

Lu Mo understood and went immediately.

After he walked far away, Yuan Xiu asked Lin Xuezhu, "Was the medicine Madam gave this man enough?"

Lin Xuezhu replied: "It's enough, according to the weight of an animal."

Yuan Xiu was speechless for a moment and said seriously: " It's not convenient for us to take two people on the road. Let this person be unconscious first and then ask questions after setting up camp at night."

"Understood, he won't wake up before dark," Lin Xuezhu said confidently.

But there was no need for the little boy to be unconscious.

So, Lin Xuezhu took out the water bag, poured a bamboo tube of water, and put it to the little boy's mouth.

The little boy's lips were so dry that they cracked. He was still unconscious, but he started sucking instinctively.

The spiritual spring water has detoxification effect. After a while, the little boy woke up leisurely.

Seeing the man lying not far away, the little boy shrank subconsciously.

When he found that the man was motionless, he boldly turned around and glanced at Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu.

"Don't be afraid." Lin Xuezhu squatted down to the same height as the little boy and said, "The bad guys have been conquered. Now tell your sister where you ran away from and why did they want to arrest you?"

The little boy looked at it . He glanced at Lin Xuezhu, then at the man, but hesitated and said nothing.

Seeing this, Yuan Xiu stepped forward and asked Lin Xuezhu, "Did you bring a rope?"

Lin Xuezhu had a rope in his space, so he pretended to dig it out of the rattan basket for a while and found a roll of rope.

Without saying a word, Yuan Xiu tied up the man tightly.

Then, he gently said to the little boy: "Now you can speak."

The little boy's eyes flashed, he was silent for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to speak.

"I ran away from Fengyang City, and these people chasing me are thugs in Hualou."

Chapter 156 I also want to go to

the Flower House with Madam?

Lin Xuezhu looked at Yuan Xiu and asked with his eyes: Is this what I understand?

Yuan Xiu nodded silently.

The little boy added: "Half a month ago, my sister and I were digging wild vegetables in the back hill of Qingxi Village. We met a group of people who took my sister and me to the Flower House in Fengyang City. They thought I was a girl. After the physical examination, I found out that I was wrongly arrested and could only keep me as a handyman. Yesterday, my sister finally found a chance to let me escape. She said that I don't have to go back to find her. The most important thing is to protect myself.

" He said so many words without even a pause in the middle. You can tell at a glance that they were memorized.

Lin Xuezhu asked: "Did your sister teach you these words?"

The little boy nodded, hesitated and said: "My sister asked me to tell my parents that she can't come back, so please don't worry about her and just live a good life. "

Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu looked at each other and asked, "Are there others who were arrested in the Flower House just like your sister?"

The little boy nodded and said, "There are more than a dozen sisters."

"You also know. What?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

The little boy shook his head.

What he knew was what his sister told him, and she told him to memorize it and tell it to his parents.

He couldn't read or understand the others.

Lin Xuezhu knew that nothing could be asked from him, so she comforted him with words: "There are still a few people looking for you, but you don't have to worry. This big brother is very powerful. No matter who comes, they can't hurt you." ."

The little boy glanced at the crutch Yuan Xiu was holding, with a suspicious look in his eyes.

At this time, Lu Mo drove the carriage over.

Lin Xuezhu quickly pointed at Lu Mo and added: "This brother is in good health, and he can protect you."

Yuan Xiu: ...

At this moment, I heard a shout, and the thugs who had been scattered to find someone were about to gather.

"Let's go quickly." Lin Xuezhu quickly hugged the little boy and got on the carriage.

Yuan Xiu also got into the carriage.

Lu Mo followed behind, picked up the tied man, threw him into the carriage, and then drove the carriage neatly to chase the exile team.

Lin Xuezhu asked in the carriage: "How long do we have until we get to Fengyang City?"

Lu Mo replied: "I heard from Ma Xing that we will camp outside Fengyang City tonight."

Lin Xuezhu turned to Yuan Xiu, lowered his voice and asked: "Fengyang City Is Yangcheng also in King Qing's fiefdom?"

Yuan Xiu replied: "It is the northernmost city in his fiefdom. Beyond Fengyang City, it is Princess Hengyu's fiefdom."

Princess Hengyu...

Lin Xuezhu felt that this name sounded strange to her.

"Tell me about Princess Hengyu," she said.

Yuan Xiu glanced at her and patiently introduced: "Princess Hengyu married Xie Yuan, the Marquis of Feng Ping, and she gave birth to a son and a daughter. Her son Xie Yunkai will inherit the title in the future. She usually likes to stay in the fiefdom without edicts. She won't be in Beijing, so you probably haven't seen her before."

After listening to his introduction, Lin Xuezhu finally connected the characters.

That Feng Pinghou is an important villain in the book.

Because he was married to Princess Hengyu, he was unable to enter the officialdom and could only inherit his family title.

However, he was greedy for power and was not satisfied with just being a wealthy prince, so he regarded Princess Hengyu as a major obstacle to his career.

The late emperor passed away, and Princess Hengyu was honored as the new emperor's biological sister.

Feng Pinghou then thought of asking the eldest princess to recommend him to the new emperor.

But the eldest princess was a Buddhist and believed that it was against the rules for the princess's consort to become an official in the court. She did not want to cause trouble to her younger brother, so she refused to be granted the title of Marquis Ping.

Feng Pinghou thought that he had nowhere to put his ambitions to use, but he happened to meet Prince Qing, who was dissatisfied with him. The two hit it off and planned to collude on big things.

Marquis Fengping was afraid that Princess Hengyu would notice, so he handed over the matter of contacting Prince Qing to his son Xie Yunkai.

Speaking of Xie Yunkai, many of Feng Pinghou's ambitions were placed on him.

Keep the clouds clear and see the moon, which is the meaning of Xie Yunkai's name.

Haha, it's a pity that his son has no ambition and his ability cannot keep up.

When Yuan Xiu launched a massive counterattack, Marquis Feng Ping was tripped up by his son's trick.

Later, when King Qing's head was hung on the city gate tower, Feng Pinghou and his son also accompanied him.

Of course, this is all a story for later.

After Lin Xuezhu thought of this plot, she suddenly realized that Fengyang City was located at the junction of the fiefdoms of Prince Qing and Princess Hengyu, and there might be something interesting in it.

She suddenly became angry and wanted to explore Fengyang City.

Just do it, Lin Xuezhu said to Lu Mo: "Little cousin, please ask my uncle to come over. Just tell me that my foot is in unbearable pain and I need him to come and take a look at it."

"Okay." Lu Mo stopped the carriage. On the roadside, he ran towards Lin Chengyao.

After a while, Lin Chengyao ran over in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "Niece, what's wrong with your foot?"

Lin Xuezhu lifted the car curtain, pulled Lin Chengyao up, and then quickly closed the car curtain.

During the whole process, Lin Chengyao didn't even react, and he faced two uninvited guests in the car, one large and one small.

"This..." Lin Chengyao was speechless and choked.

Along the way, the eldest niece picked up food and supplies. How could she pick up someone else?

Lin Chengyao's eyes subconsciously looked at Lin Xuezhu's ankles.

"My feet are fine." Lin Xuezhu said.

Lin Chengyao understood instantly.

The eldest niece is cautious and considerate. The reason why she found an excuse to pull him into the carriage must be because of the unconscious man!

With this thought in mind, Lin Chengyao moved closer to the thug.

Lin Xuezhu grabbed him and said helplessly: "This man was knocked unconscious by me."

Lin Chengyao's eyebrows skipped a beat, and he couldn't understand the situation in front of him.

Lin Xuezhu said, "I'll explain it to my uncle in detail when I get back. Now I need your uncle to do me a favor."

"What favor?" Lin Chengyao asked subconsciously.

Lin Xuezhu said: "Uncle, please go find Liu Kui and tell him that I need some medicinal materials for my foot injury. You don't have them here. You have to go to the city ahead to buy them."

Lin Chengyao's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously felt that his eldest niece was going to cause trouble.

"Isn't this right? I've already treated my niece-in-law's leg. There's no reason for you to twist your leg and I'll need additional medicinal materials." Lin Chengyao was very hesitant.

"Lu Mo, invite my aunt over." Lin Xuezhu didn't wait for Lin Chengyao to say another sentence, and directly asked for Jiang Qishuang.

Her uncle is not smart enough, so he has to rely on his aunt at critical moments.

As soon as Lin Chengyao heard that he was going to trouble his wife, he quickly said, "I'll go and talk. Don't worry, eldest niece, I'll make it happen for you."

"Uncle, I also want to go with my wife," Yuan Xiu said.

Lin Chengyao almost lost his temper after hearing this.

Everyone knows that Yuan Xiu is the key escort target of the officials.

Anyone else can leave the team midway, but he can't succeed in cultivation!

Isn't it embarrassing for him to ask him to go to the official to discuss such a difficult matter?

However, he was not happy to let Jiang Qishuang go.

In the end, I could only feel aggrieved and got out of the car to find Liu Kui.

Chapter 157 Everyone was stunned.

As soon as Lin Chengyao left, Lin Xuezhu jumped up and stood up.

He rushed the little boy and Yuan Xiu to one side of the carriage and lifted up the bed board on the other side.

With a kick, he kicked the thug into the storage layer.

After covering the bed, she said to the little boy: "Go and hide behind your brother Yuanxiu. When we enter Fengyang City, I will take you to rescue your sister."

When the little boy heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. It's bright.

Lin Xuezhu asked him to hide behind Yuan Xiu, placed a few pillows next to him, and covered him with a quilt. He just let her do what she wanted without saying a word.

Then, Lin Xuezhu found a piece of rag left over from making clothes and stuffed it into his trouser legs.

After doing this, I heard Liu Kui's voice coming from outside the carriage.

"Ms. Lin, I heard that you sprained your foot. Is it serious?"

Lin Xuezhu quickly winked at Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Xiu understood and used a bamboo pole to open the car curtain.

Lin Xuezhu was half leaning against the wall of the carriage, looking weak, and groaned: "Seriously, it hurts me to death."

Liu Kui subconsciously looked at her legs and saw a big bulge on her ankle, which looked like Very serious look.

"My lord, don't look at anything inappropriate." Yuan Xiu warned.

Liu Kui quickly looked away.

Staring at a woman's feet is deeply offensive.

What's more, her husband is still nearby.

Liu Kui cleared his throat and said: "Doctor Lin said that he will take you to Fengyang City. Firstly, he will purchase medicinal materials, and secondly, he will also let the doctor from the medical center look at your injuries. This is against the rules, so please stay for a while and walk slowly. "Yes, I will tell the leader and let you go quietly. You will come back as soon as the city gate opens."

"Understood," Lin Xuezhu agreed happily.

Liu Kuizhen came forward and actually gave her one night. How much work would it take.

Lin Xuezhu restrained himself and still maintained the mask of pain.

It wasn't until Liu Kui turned around and left that she showed a big smile to Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Xiu gave her a thumbs up, secretly praising her for being really good at acting. None of the royal troupes in the palace could act like her.

"Come up, uncle." Lin Xuezhu waved to Lin Chengyao.

Lin Chengyao didn't know why his eldest niece was so happy, but he really couldn't be happy.

In order to allow his eldest niece and nephew-in-law to successfully enter the city, he did not hesitate to tell Liu Kui that his medical skills were not good. His niece-in-law's injury has not healed yet, and he urgently needs to discuss the next treatment method with his colleagues.

After humiliating himself, Liu Kui agreed to let Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu follow him into the city.

His self-esteem as a doctor was shattered to pieces at this moment.

Lin Chengyao lowered his head and got into the carriage. When the curtain was pulled, he realized something was wrong.

"Eldest niece, where is the man who was unconscious just now?" He asked: "There is also a little boy, why is he missing?"

Lin Xuezhu took out the cloth stuffed into his trouser legs calmly.

Then he took out the little boy from behind Yuan Xiu.

Finally, he pointed to the bed board beneath him and said, "The man is down there. We will take him out after he leaves the team."

"Take it out, take it out?" Lin Chengyao was speechless at his eldest niece's words.

Lin Xuezhu opened the curtains slightly and looked outside.

Their motorcade was originally the last one following the exile team.

At this time, if her own car were slower, she would be left behind after walking for a while.

Lin Xuezhu said to Lu Mo: "Little cousin, please tell my father that we are going to Fengyang City tonight."

"Understood." Lu Mo took out the whistle he had with him and blew a few notes.

After a while, Yan Da ran over.

Lu Mo said a few words to him, and Yan Da nodded to Lin Xuezhu by the car window, turned around and ran away.

Lin Xuezhu found it strange and asked, "Are you so proficient in using your contact codes?"

"Yes." Lu Mo replied, "When you go hunting in the mountains, it is difficult to contact you once you are separated. So, the first thing is Just master the contact codes."

Lin Xuezhu gave him a thumbs up sincerely.

After a while, when the carriage and the exile team were completely separated, Lu Mo turned his horse's head, raised his whip, and changed the road to move forward at full speed.

Lin Chengyao had never been in such a fast carriage, and he was a little nervous. He subconsciously grabbed the bed board under him with both hands.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Lin Xuezhu put the little boy into Lin Chengyao's arms.

He opened half of the bed board, revealing the unconscious thug inside.

"Husband, please." Although Lin Xuezhu had the ability to kick this man in, he didn't have the strength to take him out.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiu stretched out his hand to fish the person out.

Lin Chengyao's mouth opened wide.

At the same time, he felt the little boy in his arms shrink and tremble.

Lin Chengyao subconsciously freed up a hand, hugged the little boy tightly, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

The little boy looked about the same age as his Xuan'er, but he was thin and dirty. , her life was much worse than Xuan'er's.

Lin Chengyao couldn't help but sympathize with this poor little man.

At the same time, I can't help but be very curious about what my eldest niece and niece-in-law will do next.

He stared at Lin Xuezhu and saw her taking out another small bundle from under the bed and handing it to him.

Lin Chengyao subconsciously took it.

The small baggage was heavy, and the contents inside were so hard that they made a few crisp sounds when they hit each other.

"This is..."

"Yinzi, since uncle has entered the city, he naturally wants to buy some medicinal materials." Lin Xuezhu said before Lin Chengyao asked.

Lin Chengyao weighed the silver and felt that it was as much as one hundred taels.

He said quickly: "There is no need for this."

"There are still five hundred taels of silver notes in it. Uncle will not go back until he spends all the money." Lin Xuezhu said domineeringly.

Lin Chengyao was stunned.

Six hundred taels, how many medicinal materials do you need to buy?

But then I thought about it, there are so many people in the family, and medicinal materials are something to be prepared for.

Then I felt that my eldest niece was thoughtful.

Lin Xuezhu continued: "I discussed with my aunt and asked her to prepare some ointments with various effects for easy use on the road. I don't know about medicinal materials. My uncle guessed what aunt needs, so he bought them all this time. Go back."

After hearing this, Lin Chengyao began to admire his eldest niece again.

In terms of preparing for a rainy day, it has to be his eldest niece.

However, if the eldest niece drives him away by buying medicine, what on earth are she going to do with her niece-in-law?

Lin Chengyao thought so and asked.

Lin Xuezhu signaled him not to worry, tapped the thug with her foot and said, "Sir, please."

Yuan Xiu understood, raised his hand and punched the thug right in the face.

The thug shuddered and opened his eyes.

He first saw the little boy, and he wanted to play like a carp.

But he was so tied up that not only did he not bounce up, but he fell back again, hitting his head heavily on the bed board.

This time, he was completely stunned.

Chapter 158: The eldest niece

seemed to have sobered up a lot after being knocked down by the thugs.

He finally began to take stock of where he was.

When he saw Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu, he couldn't help shouting: "Who are you? What are you going to do?"

Yuan Xiu raised his hand and punched him again, hitting back what he had not finished shouting.

Lin Chengyao's anus tightened and his own face hurt.

Lin Xuezhu clicked her tongue twice and said angrily: "Husband, how can you hit someone casually?"

Lin Chengyao nodded.

Exactly, hitting people is not advisable.

Lin Xuezhu touched behind him, took out half a bamboo pole, and handed it to Yuan Xiu's hand.

Said: "The effect of force is mutual. If your husband hits him, your own hand will hurt. Come on, use this bamboo pole to hit him."

Lin Chengyao closed his eyes.

Forget it, pretend you can't see it.

Yuan Xiu took the bamboo pole with a smile and gestured to the thug's face, as if he was looking for a point of strength.

The thugs were just local gangsters who worked for Hualou. They could only show their power over ordinary people.

When encountering a tough opponent, you will be timid at first.

"Hero, spare your life, strong woman, spare your life. If you two have any grudges, why don't you talk it out?"

Lin Xuezhu sneered, "Speak it out? When you men surrounded a child, why didn't you talk it out?"

She said . With his eyes, the bamboo pole in Yuan Xiu's hand slapped the thug on the face.

The bamboo pole was split several times and turned into brush.

The thug's face suddenly split open, and he cried out in pain.

"Scream again and I'll beat your face to pieces." Lin Xuezhu said calmly.

The thug immediately fell silent and did not dare to express his anger.

Seeing that the threats were almost over, Lin Xuezhu got back to business, "Tell me, who do you work for?"

"Chunfeng Tower, I work for Chunfeng Tower in Fengyang City." The thug said inarticulately.

"Whose property is Chunfeng Tower?" Lin Xuezhu asked again.

"Zhou, from the Zhou family." The thug replied.

As expected, Lin Xuezhu's lips curled up slightly.

She remembered what the shopkeeper of Zhouji Bank told her when she was in Jian'an City.

The casino and the flower house are all profitable businesses for the Zhou family.

It's just that she didn't expect that the Zhou family, with its huge property, could even save the cost of buying girls, so they dared to do that thing of forcing girls into prostitution!

No wonder the little boy's sister asked him to tell his parents not to go to her.

Presumably, she should already know that not even the government can interfere with the Zhou family's affairs.

It is tantamount to wishful thinking for ordinary people to seek justice for themselves when officials and businessmen collude!

How sad.

"How many girls did you arrest in total?" Yuan Xiu asked.

The thug replied: "There are more than ten now, but we are still arresting them."

"Where to arrest them?" Yuan Xiu asked again.

"From nearby villages and counties." The thug replied.

"Why are so many girls suddenly needed?" Yuan Xiu's eyes darkened.

The thug realized the danger and quickly said: "I heard that a big shot is coming to Fengyang City. He is very lustful and likes Wei..."

He glanced at Lin Xuezhu and continued tremblingly: "The girl who has not yet opened her bud. "

Hearing what he said, Lin Xuezhu suddenly remembered something.

However, it was hard for her to ask.

Then Yuan Xiu said: "Is it Xie Yunkai who is coming?"

Lin Xuezhu was surprised.

Xie Yunkai is a big pervert, and she was particularly impressed when she read the book.

However, Yuan Xiu also knows about this?

Didn't it mean that Princess Hengyu stayed in the fiefdom all year round and rarely went to Beijing without an edict?

Yuan Xiu has been staying in the north these years.

How come he still knows so much about this eldest nephew whom he has barely met?

Lin Xuezhu thought for a moment and then laughed to himself.

Who is Yuan Xiu? He is the male protagonist in the book, who will be the emperor in the future.

Can such a person be a little white rabbit who is deaf to what is going on outside the window?

She heard the thug say: "It seems to be such a person."

Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu looked at each other and understood each other.

Xie Yunkai's visit to Fengyang City was definitely not just for fun.

If he came with a mission, then King Qing must not be in Jian'an City at this moment.

They should meet in Fengyang City.

It seems that this trip to Fengyang City is indeed worth it.

After all the questions that need to be asked, there is no use keeping this thug.

Lin Xuezhu took the rope that tied the thug and pulled him up.

Yuan Xiu slashed the back of his neck with his knife, knocking him unconscious.

Lin Xuezhu opened the bed board and kicked off the bed.

With a bang, the thug fell back to the storage layer.

The couple's movements were smooth and smooth, and they cooperated so well that Lin Chengyao was stunned.

The eldest niece and nephew-in-law must be devils. Whoever falls into their hands will be in bad luck.

Lin Xuezhu said to Lu Mo who was driving the car: "Little cousin, if you see water nearby, just stop."

There happened to be a pond not far ahead, Lu Mo stopped the car, and Lin Xuezhu took the little boy down.

"Wash your dirty little face and hands, otherwise you will definitely arouse suspicion when you enter the city later." Lin Xuezhu said.

At this time, the little boy had complete trust in her.

After hearing this, I ran to the pond and started washing quickly and carefully.

Lin Xuezhu took out a few peaches from the storage layer of the carriage, washed the peach hairs in the pond, and then quietly rinsed them with spiritual spring water, and then handed one to the little boy who had washed his hands.

The little boy hadn't eaten since last night. He took the peach and immediately started chewing it.

Lin Xuezhu divided the peaches among Yuan Xiu, Lu Mo and Lin Chengyao, then took some snacks from the storage layer to the little boy, and asked Lu Mo to drive the car back on the road.

Lu Mo held the reins in his right hand and the peach in his left hand, eating and driving the cart at the same time.

Lin Chengyao, on the other hand, grabbed the bed board with one hand and peaches with the other, bumping while eating.

But the little boy was devouring the snacks and peaches without caring about anything else.

After Lin Xuezhu finished eating the peach, she took off her woman's head, and her black hair fell down like a waterfall, very elegant and beautiful.

However, Yuan Xiu only admired it for a moment before he realized what she was going to do.

He immediately stopped him and said, "Madam, no. That Chunfeng Tower is a dirty place, Madam is not allowed to go there in person."

Lin Xuezhu glanced at him calmly.

Is this the roundworm in her stomach?

If she makes a move now, he will know what she is thinking.

Although it is good to have a tacit understanding, sometimes it can be really troublesome.

"How about you go?" she asked.

Yuan Xiu was speechless.

Lin Xuezhu continued to ask, "Should I let my little cousin go?"

"Cousin, I can go." Lu Mo heard the noise outside the carriage and quickly volunteered.

"I want a man to dress up as a woman." Lin Xuezhu said lightly.

Lu Mo immediately became silent.

Lin Xuezhu smiled and said: "Don't worry, husband, I have such a quality that can survive in the mud, no matter how hard it is, it won't be able to pick it up on me. Besides, no one who goes against me will end up well, and what about you?" It's not that I don't know. Can I suffer? That must not be the case. I am the one who makes others suffer."

Her words shut up Lin Chengyao, who originally wanted to persuade her.

Forget it, he can't afford to offend his eldest niece.

Chapter 159: It's a perfect match. There's nothing wrong with it

. It's not that Yuan Xiu is afraid of Lin Xuezhu suffering a loss, he just doesn't want her to go to that dirty place to "see the world."

Seeing her persistence, he was helpless.

Respect her, you can't live with it.

If you don't respect her, she will definitely be unhappy.

Finally, after weighing the situation, he decided to give in.

"Did you bring the bamboo whistle?" he asked.

Lin Xuezhu smiled and pulled out the bamboo whistle hanging around her neck and shook it at Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Xiu said angrily: "Blow the whistle if something happens. Have you not forgotten the secret signal for critical moments?"

Lin Xuezhu picked up the bamboo whistle and blew it a few times.

Yuan Xiu was speechless.

This woman really forgot.

But it didn't matter, he remembered the tune she played.

"We are going into the city." Lu Mo said from the front.

Lin Xuezhu gave him five taels of silver.

Lu Mo understood, and when he saw the officers and soldiers collecting the city fee, he handed over all the five taels of silver.

In addition to the ten cents per person for entering the city, whatever is saved is treated as a tip.

Sure enough, the officers and soldiers let them into the city without much checking of the carriage.

Although Fengyang City is not as big and lively as Jian'an City, it is still prosperous.

Although Prince Qing was not the half-brother of the Dog Emperor, he had always shown a state of mindless support for his brother, which made the Dog Emperor trust him very much, and the fiefdom given to him was the better among his brothers and sisters.

Lin Xuezhu looked at the scenery in Fengyang City through the car window and asked the little boy: "Where is Chunfeng Tower, do you still remember it?"

The little boy nodded and pointed out the window, "Keep going along this street. Turn left at the intersection and you will see it if you go forward. " Lin Xuezhu turned to look at Yuan

Xiu, "My husband is taking my uncle to buy medicinal materials. Let my little cousin protect me. I will ask my husband for help if anything happens."

He looked at her deeply and expressed his agreement with silence.

Judging from the qualifications of that thug, even if the entire Chunfeng Tower came together, they would still be no match for Lu Mo.

Lu Mo was naturally relieved to have him follow Lin Xuezhu.

However, he was relieved, but Lin Chengyao was not.

He asked worriedly: "Eldest niece, what are you going to do?"

Lin Xuezhu thought for a while and replied confidently: "I plan to act according to the situation."

"What?" Lin Chengyao's eyes widened.

He thought that based on his eldest niece's character, she must have made a careful plan before taking action.

After all, when it comes to preparing for a rainy day, no one can compare to my eldest niece.

Little did she know that she had no plan at all and was going to break into the Chunfeng Tower.

How can this work!

Just as he was about to say something, Lin Xuezhu opened the bed board again, revealing the tied-up thug.

Yuan Xiu stretched out his arm and fished the person out.

Lin Xuezhu took out a pill from his arms and stuffed it into the thug's mouth.

Yuan Xiu took the bamboo pole and slapped the thug on the nose.

With a bang, the thug swallowed the pill, and at the same time, he opened his eyes with a sore nose.

"Good man, strong woman, please spare me." The thug's face was filled with bitterness.

Lin Xuezhu said slowly: "It's impossible to spare you. What I just fed you was a poison. After twelve hours, you will bleed to death."

After hearing this, the thug's whole body suddenly shook like chaff.

"Women, strong women, please spare my life. I will listen to you no matter what you say."

Lin Xuezhu took out another pill from her arms and handed it to Lu Mo through the car curtain.

He said calmly: "Put the antidote in his hand. If you complete the task I gave you, he will give you the antidote, and I will give you a hundred taels of silver as a reward. Otherwise, ten taels of silver will be given to you." In two hours, you will die in pain."

She said this, and the thug suddenly felt numb and itchy all over his body, burning inside and in great pain.

He trembled and asked: "What do you want from me, a strong woman?"

Lin Xuezhu pulled out the dagger, broke the rope on his body and said, "You take me into Chunfeng Tower, just like you do when you catch girls everywhere."

"Women, strong women, what are you going to do?" The thug was afraid.

Selling Chunfeng Tower would offend the Zhou family.

If you offend the Zhou family, it will be difficult to go to any city unless you live in seclusion in the countryside.

Seeing his hesitation, Lin Xuezhu sneered: "You dare to ask me what I want to do?"

"Don't dare." The thug shook his head like a rattle.

Lin Xuezhu took out a small bag of silver from the bottom, opened it and waved it in front of his eyes for the final brainwashing.

"What's the point of being a thug? The work is more tiring than a donkey, and the life is not as good as that of a dog. Use these one hundred taels to buy a small house in the countryside, where your wife and children can warm each other. It will be enough for you to live a lifetime."

One hundred taels of silver, I have never seen a goon in my life.

Lin Xuezhu watched helplessly and handed it to Lu Mo outside the carriage.

The thug swallowed, "This, is this really for me?"

"Of course." Lin Xuezhu smiled very gently.

The thug gritted his teeth. If he couldn't move even an inch, it would be hard to move. At worst, he would spend his whole life in the countryside.

Even if he spent his whole life as a thug, he wouldn't be able to earn so much money.

"Female warrior, no matter what you want to do, I will help you." The thug hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

Lin Xuezhu nodded with satisfaction and said to Lu Mo, "Little cousin, let's find a secluded place and let's get off the car."

"Got it." Lu Mo said and drove the carriage into a small alley.

Lin Xuezhu got out of the car and handed the thug a rope, indicating to him to tie her up.

This is the first time I've seen someone make such a request.

Naturally, he didn't dare to tie her too hard, so he only tied her hands loosely behind her back.

"Husband, take good care of my uncle." Lin Xuezhu smiled at Yuan Xiu and winked, then followed the thugs to Chunfeng Tower.

Yuan Xiu winked at Lu Mo. Lu Mo understood, and went up to the roof in a flash, and went to the Chunfeng Tower to wait.

Lin Chengyao was stunned when he witnessed all this and asked Yuan Xiudao in disbelief: "My niece-in-law, you just let her go like this?"

As a man, he didn't understand.

If it were him, he would definitely not let his wife be in danger.

Let alone going to a place like Hualou, even if he was going to negotiate with officials, he was not willing.

Yuan Xiu looked at Lin Xuezhu's back, feeling a little helpless in his nostalgia.

Youyou said: "She has what she wants to do. Just because she married me, we can't let her compromise everywhere."

Lin Chengyao was stunned.

What about this statement?

But after he tasted it, his words were quite meaningful.

The eldest niece has a good idea. When she was a girl, she was fearless and was known as a rebellious girl.

Such a child would definitely not be easy to control if she became someone's wife.

But his niece-in-law did not control his eldest niece, but allowed her to make trouble.

It seems careless, but is it actually a way for couples to get along?

Lin Chengyao suddenly felt that he had learned something.

I can't help but sigh, the elders may not be right, and the younger generation may not have experience that the elders can learn from.

Talents like his eldest niece and niece-in-law are rare in this world.

Moreover, the relationship between the two people seems to have quietly reached a tacit understanding.

There is nothing wrong with saying that it is a perfect match made in heaven.

Chapter 160 I want to live in a single room.

Lin Xuezhu had no idea how his uncle was feeling.

She followed the thugs through the alleys and soon arrived near Chunfeng Tower.

"Female warrior, I have to be rough with you now, please bear with me." The thug said.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu nod, he pulled out a rope and wanted to tie her up and carry her back.

God knows how frightened he was.

Along the way, I was thinking about how to bring her back to Chunfeng Tower without offending the strong female warrior.

However, the rope was tied, but he couldn't lift the person.

He looked at Lin Xuezhu's slender figure and found it incredible.

He could usually carry two such slender women.

What happened today?

My whole body felt weak, as if I had been poisoned.

Thinking of this, he trembled suddenly.

He was poisoned, wasn't he just poisoned?

If you don't take the antidote, you will bleed to death from the poison in twelve hours!

The thug shivered and immediately corrected his attitude.

Do your job well, otherwise your life will be at stake.

He had no choice but to hold one end of the rope, drag Lin Xuezhu, and slam the back door of Chunfeng Tower.

The door creaked open.

The person who opened the door was a skinny monkey-like boy.

He looked the thug up and down and said, "Guo Zhuang, weren't you separated from the others? Why did you come back on your own?"

"Don't mention it." Guo Zhuang replied, "I was looking for that little thief and didn't pay attention to him. When I wanted to meet up with the others, I saw this girl. Look, isn't this girl better looking than the ones I caught before?"

The thin monkey stared at Lin Xuezhu with a lewd look, agreeing with Guo Zhuang's words . .

However, he was still quite cautious. He pointed at Guo Zhuang's face and said, "What's wrong with your face?"

Guo Zhuang touched his face and grinned in pain. He

sneered and said: "Pretty girls have bad tempers. I didn't pay attention and was beaten a few times by her."

Slender monkey said with a sinister smile: "It seems that I need to be trained well."

After that, he gave up a position and signaled to Guo Zhuang Take Lin Xuezhu into the hospital.

Guo Zhuang asked impatiently: "For such a beautiful girl, why don't the manager pay me more for my hard work?"

The thin monkey showed contempt and said perfunctorily: "Then you can talk to the manager yourself."

Guo Zhuang stopped talking. He turned to look at Lin Xuezhu.

That look seemed to say: I brought you in, and the rest is up to you. Don't forget my antidote and silver.

Lin Xuezhu ignored him and followed him inside.

After walking for a while, Skinny Monkey said: "You guys wait here, I'll call the steward."

Guo Zhuang pulled Lin Xuezhu and waited at the same spot.

Lin Xuezhu glanced around and saw that there were servant rooms all around, which looked very simple from the outside.

In front of it, separated by a wall, is a three-story flower building.

The red lanterns and pink gauze curtains everywhere tell the world that this is a place for fun and fun.

It seems that the boss of Chunfeng Tower treats his subordinates quite harshly.

Also, if I wasn't harsh, I wouldn't even be willing to spend the money to buy a girl.

"Ahem, don't look around. At least show a little fear." Guo Zhuang said to Lin Xuezhu without moving his mouth, squeezing out a sentence from between his teeth.

Lin Xuezhu still ignored him, her face darkened.

Her persona today is not that of a weak woman, so why should she act scared?

After waiting for a long time, Shouhou came out with the steward.

He pointed at Lin Xuezhu and said, "That's the girl."

The steward looked at Lin Xuezhu, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

This kind of beauty is exactly what he has been looking for for a long time.

However, this girl seems to be a little different from other girls.

Others were caught here, either yelling or crying, but this girl was surprisingly calm, with no fear on her face. This was not normal.

"Where did you find this girl?" the steward asked.

"In the woods to the east of the city." Guo Zhuang replied.

The steward glanced at the thin monkey and said nothing.

The skinny monkey had a very strong understanding and quickly approached the steward and said, "When they came just now, this girl didn't look afraid at all. She needs to be questioned about her origins."

"Why are you questioning me? I am a person who is going to be exiled. I heard that she is here. If you can make a lot of money, I'll follow you," Lin Xuezhu said openly.

Guo Zhuang, who was about to make up some rhetoric, suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

He almost forgot that his accomplices had seen this strong female warrior in the woods before.

If the identity he made up for her was revealed, wouldn't it be easy to reveal her identity?

Just when he was still frightened, his fellow thugs ran out.

"Guo Zhuang, you are so thoughtful! Why did you disappear when we closed the team? We went together to catch this bitch!" said one of the thugs.

When the steward heard this, he gestured and said, "Why, have you all seen this girl?"

"That's not true. When we went to the woods in the east of the city, we happened to ask her about the whereabouts of the little thief. She said she They are in exile, but we don't dare to take action, but Guo Zhuangyi is so bold that he even dares to arrest the criminals!" said the thug.

After hearing this, Guo Zhuang wanted to cover the man's mouth.

Why is he so talented and so bold? He was caught!

Others don't know, but he knows very well that this bitch is evil and cruel!

However, when the steward heard this, he had no doubt that he was there.

He thought to himself: No wonder this girl is neither noisy nor fussy. She is a sinner. Even if she enters the flower house, it is better than being exiled.

He is quite aware of current affairs.

"Come here, put her in the woodshed and teach her a lesson," the steward said.

"Understood." Thin Hou waved his hand, and two thugs, one on the left and one on the right, lifted Lin Xuezhu up and threw him into the woodshed.

Said to be a woodshed, it was actually a small house for the girl Guan had just kidnapped.

As soon as Lin Xuezhu entered, he saw a dozen girls inside, huddled in the corner.

"Let me tell you, there will be a big shot coming tomorrow night, and you all have to be selected by the big shot. Whoever is selected will be a great honor. You should think clearly about it yourself and don't be shameless." Among them. said one of the thugs.

After hearing this, the other thug smiled obscenely and said, "However, if you want this honor, I'm afraid you won't have a chance. Look at the new one today. If I were a big shot, I would pick her.

" Lin Xuezhu rolled her eyes when Fu Shi spoke.

These girls were all caught in the flower house, and they were forced to engage in female competition?

Pu Xinnan doesn't have such a confidence method!

However, seeing that Lin Xuezhu was more beautiful than them all, the other girls looked relieved.

At this point, they wish they were hopelessly ugly, preferably so ugly that no one could look down on them.

"Two eldest brothers." Lin Xuezhu said: "Now that I have said that the person the big shot is interested in must be me, then why do you want me to be locked up with these people? Please help me tell the manager that I want to live in a single room. I want to receive big shots."
