Ming Zuo

Chapter 297 The girl who escaped

The fleet drifted away, but there were constant disturbances on the Huangpu River.

I saw the inspection department's ship shuttling back and forth, stopping passing ships from time to time, and then boarding the ship to search.

Of course, none of the Xu family's ships dared to harass anyone who was not open-eyed.

"Maybe something serious happened?"

Xu Ruolin stared at the river and guessed.

The happiest person to be able to leave the humid Jiangnan and go home is Wang Siyi.

"Sister, don't worry, I'm here. Don't care what kind of big bandit he is, as long as he dares to commit crimes, he will be called... Wow..."

Dude, throwing up again.

Xu Ruoxin and Wang Siyi are about the same age, and they have become good friends during this period of time.While patting Wang Siyi, he laughed at the same time.

"You landlubber, why do you want to protect others? Take care of yourself first."

Wang Siyi's face turned blue and her eyes were blurred.

"Hmph, as long as you get on land and give me a war horse, no one will be my opponent."

Xu Ruoxin just didn't believe it, but she didn't ridicule her either.

The fleet sailed out of the Huangpu River and began to travel upstream along the Yangtze River.Not too far away, there was a sudden commotion in the cabin.

"Who? Come out!"

The soldiers of the guard company rushed forward at a high speed, waiting in full force, and cornered a dark corner.

Everyone on board was alarmed and rushed over one after another.

I saw faint crying sounds from the corner where the goods were piled up, and then a thin figure slowly moved out.

When they came under the sun, everyone's eyes could not help but brighten up.

The Yangtze River runs through like a jade belt, and this woman should be the pearl on the belt.

Even though she was drenched and embarrassed, she couldn't hide the fragrance of heaven and country, which was dense and elegant.

But there was one person who couldn't be happy, and that was Fu Yusun.

His sinister eyes swept across the guard company, and he shouted: "Who is in charge of guarding this ship?"

A squad leader stood up, dejected, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Fu Yusun's voice was cold and frightening.

"Everyone in the third class will record a major demerit once, and everyone will write a self-criticism when they go back."

He couldn't help but get angry.

As Zuo Menggeng's boat, a stranger touched the boat.Fortunately, she is a thin and thin girl, if this is the enemy...

Fu Yusun's entire back was drenched in cold sweat.

In this regard, Zuo Menggeng watched, but did not intercede for the security squad.

To make a mistake is to make a mistake, and to make a mistake is to accept punishment. This is the rule.

He was recorded as a major demerit, and his promotion would be affected in the future. The third squad leader was so full of evil that he had nowhere to vent his anger. He really hated that little girl.

"Take her away and interrogate her carefully."

It is conceivable that if the little girl falls into their hands, she will lose half her life if she is not dead.

Zuo Menggeng hurriedly stepped forward.

"Go down, you don't need to take care of this matter."

The guard squad had no choice but to retreat to the periphery.

But Zuo Menggeng became the focus, and everyone looked at him meaningfully.Especially Xu Ruolin's gaze was really subtle.

Zuo Menggeng suddenly realized that he had been misunderstood.

"A little girl, don't make a fuss."

Xu Ruoxin helped her sister speak out.

"The little girl is beautiful."

At the critical moment, the brothers have to come forward.

Zhang Haogu decided to share Zuo Menggeng's worries.

"Don't disturb the second from the left, brother, I am quite accomplished in interrogation. So hand this girl over to me, and she will have nowhere to hide."

Zuo Menggeng looked over with complicated eyes, very suspicious.

Zhang Haogu hurriedly patted his chest.

"Don't worry, brother, I have nothing to do with gambling and drugs."

Pooh!
Zuo Menggeng didn't bother to chat with him, and asked in public: "Who are you? Why did you get on our boat? Those inspectors and police officers are the ones who want to arrest you, right?"

Without the menacing soldiers, the little girl was able to recover without any stage fright at all, and her speech was quite orderly.

"General Zuo is polite, little girl Yang Chao has admired General for a long time."

Good guy, the atmosphere is getting weirder.

Zuo Menggeng clearly knew that he hadn't done anything, but he couldn't help feeling hot all over.

The most urgent thing is to prove your innocence.

"Have I seen you? I warn you, if you don't make it clear, you will die today."

The little girl raised her head, looking more and more sympathetic to me, with a three-pointed Jiangnan misty look.

"General Zuo and his wife got married that day, and the little girl followed her mother to watch the ceremony. In this world, men are superior to women, and there is no man like General Zuo who respects and loves my daughter. Yang Chao has nothing else to ask, but to serve the general, A hundred deaths without regrets."

Zuo Menggeng never thought that after getting married, he would gain a fangirl.

But what Yang Chao said made him dumbfounded.

"Since you said that I respect and love women, you should understand what it means. And if you say you want to serve me, isn't it self-deprecating?"

Using his spear and attacking his shield suddenly made Yang Chao stunned.

Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed my own demonic obstacle.

But through her words, others heard the mystery.

Huang Zongxi looked at her and asked, "Are you from Zhangtai?"

Yang Chao lowered his head in inferiority, he didn't deny it, he just admitted it.

Seeing Zuo Menggeng was puzzled, Xu Ruolin explained softly in his ear.

"Zhangtai is the brothel."

It turns out that the title of "mother" was commonly used in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the Ming Dynasty, but it was rarely seen by ordinary people.Therefore, Yang Chao was recognized as soon as he opened his mouth.

Knowing this, Zuo Menggeng quickly thought of something else.

"Did you escape?"

Yang Chao flinched, after all he was not a liar.

"I saw the wedding of the general and his wife that day, and the little girl was envious. She had nothing to ask for in this life, but only a sincere person. After talking to her mother, she agreed face to face. But who would have thought that the little girl would eavesdrop on her later?" It turned out that she still wanted to sell the little girl into an official's house as a slave. The little girl was unwilling, so...he sneaked out."

After speaking, she fell to her knees with a puff, begging again and again.

"I beg the general to be merciful, don't send the little girl back. Zhou Ge is very old, but he is greedy and lustful, and committing himself to this person will ruin his life."

Others were not doing anything, but Huang Zongxi snorted: "The bitch is ruthless, the actor is ruthless, and she really does not deceive me. Your mother is so vicious and insidious, she really deserves to die."

Yang Chao was speechless, apparently he didn't want to speak out about his elders' rights and wrongs.

Li Banghua heard something else.

"Old Zhou Ge? Which Zhou Ge is old?"

Yang Chao cheered up, "It's Mr. Zhouge from Wujiang, who has just returned home from his official post. The little girl met once a year ago. She is very old, but she is very romantic and disrespectful to old people."

Li Banghua was stunned.

"Zhou Wen'an is stupid and incompetent. He invites the luck of the heavens to be a member of the cabinet. He can accomplish nothing, but he acts like this."

Zuo Menggeng also knew that Zhou Ge was always Zhou Daodeng.At the beginning, Chongzhen engaged in the lottery drawing of the golden bottle, and took this opportunity to become the elder of the pavilion.

But this guy is incompetent and incompetent. He has accomplished nothing in his tenure and never made a head start.

Later, seeing that he was really incompetent, Chongzhen simply dismissed him, so he went back to Wujiang to be happy and happy, and even set his eyes on a cardamom girl like Yang Chao.

Thinking that Zhou Daodeng is in his seventies and eighties, maybe one day he will kick his legs.It was really ruined for such a delicate little girl like Yang Chao to follow him.

Even out of sympathy, Zuo Menggeng would not let such a thing happen.

"It's not bad for you to eat in one bite, so just follow."

Yang Chao was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down to thank him, his face full of tears of happiness from the sea of ​​suffering.

Zuo Menggeng shook his head, didn't care, pointed to Xu Ruolin and said: "From now on, you will follow my wife. Seeing that you are smart, learn more, so that you can support yourself in the future."

Yang Chao was stunned, and tried his best to say: "The little girl has dabbled in poetry, poetry, calligraphy and painting, and she will serve the general in the future, and she will not dare to make mistakes."

Zuo Menggeng laughed.

"What are you thinking? I don't need a maid by my side, nor does my wife. It is because you can read and write that you are allowed to study hard with her. Remember, as a human being, you should respect and love yourself. You are not anyone's vassal, It's not someone's plaything. Work hard and live out your own splendor."

Yang Chao was stunned, his mind was full of Zuo Menggeng's words.

Since she was a child, she has learned the art of pleasing men.

Although the heart is noble, pretentious, want to live a vigorous life.But she also knew that as a daughter, in this world, it was nothing more than pointless self-deception.

But today, there is a man she admires who treats her as an equal.

In an instant, Yang Chao seemed to see the light he had been looking forward to all along, coming to his side from far to near.

In a daze, Xu Ruolin approached slowly and took her hand.

"Get up quickly, we don't like kneeling here. Since he handed you over to me, you will be my disciple from now on. You are a smart girl, study hard, and you will definitely shine in the future."

Yang Chao suddenly noticed something and couldn't help asking: "Madam, your hair..."

When a woman gets married, she needs to tie her hair.But Xu Ruolin in front of her has hair like a waterfall, flowing and natural, like a girl.

Xu Ruolin didn't think so, pointed at Zuo Menggeng, and said with a smile: "He doesn't care about these things. Besides, the hair grows on us, so naturally we have the final say."

Yang Chao's eyes were full of spirits, looking at the indifferent Zuo Menggeng, and at the free and easy Xu Ruolin, he was completely impressed by this couple.
