Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 181
The sudden call of help on New Year's Eve shocked Chen Yunfu and others.

How scary to call for help in the middle of the night.

"Shopkeeper, shall we open the door?"

Ge Hu glanced at Chen Yunfu, while Chen Yunfu looked at Shao Ning at the moment.

"Yanran, take Madam back to the room first, Qiaoer, go out through the back door and ask Mu Shiqun to bring someone over."

The two girls each had something to do, and then Chen Yunfu gave Ge Hu a wink, and the latter touched the door.

With a "click", a door opened.

The girl outside the door who was calling for help fell into the room with a thud, but Chen Yunfu didn't look at it, but just yelled at Ge Hu.

"close the door!"

After the door was closed, Chen Yunfu had time to look at the woman who got up and rushed to call for help.

The girl was seventeen or eighteen years old, her face was covered with dust and stains, covering most of her appearance, but Chen Yunfu recognized her at a glance by her clothes.

The daughter of a rich family.

Only officials and eunuchs are qualified to wear the best Suzhou embroidery.

"Help, help."

At this moment, the girl was so frightened that her face turned pale and she was confused, she kept screaming in panic, but was choked back by Chen Yunfu's steamed bun.

"What's the name of the ghost? Are you planning to attract all the people who chase you?"

The girl stopped talking, Chen Yunfu didn't have time to talk to her for the time being, and said to Ge Hu: "Everyone go back to their houses now, don't gather here, turn off the lights."

"You come with me."

Chen Yunfu led the girl upstairs to his and Shao Ning's room, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the two girls with worried faces.

"Sir, what happened?"

"I don't know either, let her tell herself."

When Chen Yunfu moved away, the two women saw the shivering woman behind Chen Yunfu.

Shao Ning came to the side of the girl with her waist supported, and comforted her in a warm voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Qiaoer, go get a basin of water to wash this girl."

Chen Yunfu passed a cup of hot tea from the side.

"Drink some water to suppress the shock."

After a lot of work, the girl finally calmed down, and began to explain the reason why she asked for help.

The story was a bit bloody, but Chen Yunfu guessed wrong about the girl's background.

Not the daughter of an official family, but the daughter of a local cloth merchant.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, merchants' families are not allowed to wear silk, but it is understandable for people to wear it secretly at home.

The girl's surname is Zeng, and her name is Zeng Shihui. Her father is one of the cloth merchants in Wuzhong County. The main business is to transport cloth to Shandong and Hebei by water.

Later, she didn't know what happened and quit, and Zeng Shihui didn't know, anyway, after quitting, her family's business began to plummet.

And tonight, a group of men in black broke into her house, killing anyone they saw and setting fire everywhere.

Cunning Rabbit Three Caves, thanks to these wealthy businessmen who like to hide secrets at home, Zeng Shihui escaped.

"Why can't you run away, what are you doing running away to my inn?"

Chen Yunfu was so angry that he wanted to roll his eyes, he could guess the outline of this story by listening to his ears.

It must be that Zeng Shihui's father knew something that he shouldn't know, and got evidence that he shouldn't have, which caused him to get angry and cause troubles all over his family.

There are injustices everywhere, Chen Yunfu did not expect that Suzhou, as the capital of Zhili, would have such vicious gangsters.

Killing the whole family on New Year's Eve is something that only a vicious person can do.

That Zeng Shihui had also washed up at this moment, with tears and sorrow hanging on her pretty face, she knelt down towards Chen Yunfu.

"That's because the little girl knows the identity of her benefactor. Although Suzhou Mansion is big, you are the Marquis of Wuzhong who can save the little girl!"

Wu Zhonghou.

It's been a long time since anyone called this title.

Chen Yunfu narrowed his eyes: "How do you know me?"

"Although my daughter doesn't know you, my father knows you.

My daughter's family's business is connected to Shandong and Hebei, so my father has been to Peiping, and was fortunate to have seen your honor in Peiping. When your inn opened here, my father recognized you at a glance. He only knows your recent situation and dare not take the liberty Excuse me, this place is in great trouble, it was my father who sent my daughter here to ask for help. "

After finishing speaking, Zeng Shihui slammed her head on the ground: "I beg Lord Hou to save the little girl and avenge the little girl. In this way, the little girl is willing to serve Lord Hou as a slave and handmaid, like an ox or a horse."

"I'm just like you now. I'm just a white body. I've done my best to hide you tonight. It has nothing to do with me where you want to go tomorrow morning. As for revenge, you can go to Jinling to report to the authorities." Tianfu or the Ministry of Punishment, just say that I let you go, and your safety must be protected."

Chen Yunfu didn't have the time to be a private avenger, and it was even more impossible for him to become dizzy when he saw a woman.

Shao Ning is about to give birth.

Chen Yunfu's own wife and children are what Chen Yunfu values ​​most now.

"Sir." Shao Ning couldn't stand it anymore, seeing Zeng Shihui knelt on the ground crying in grief, but it broke her heart from crying, so she quickly pulled Chen Yunfu aside and said.

"Sir, it's not your nature to refuse to save yourself from death."

"It's because you, my man, meddle in this kind of nosy business too much that you and I, my husband and I, have fallen into the situation we are in today, which will cause you and our child to be wronged when they are born in the future."

Chen Yunfu couldn't even think about it, his brain hurts when he thought about it.

As a rising star in the political arena, I dare not say that the power is in the hands of the government and the public, but looking at the size of the court, I, the general manager, already has the authority of the head of the nine ministers.

It's not as good as the weak crown to have such a prominent and powerful person, but Zhu Biao went to rescue Chang Mao and Feng Sheng with a crying brain.

"The concubine has never felt wronged." Shao Ning held Chen Yunfu's hand and said in a gentle voice, "As long as the husband can always do the right thing, no matter what the result is, the concubine will support the husband and accompany him to face it together."

I have a good wife.

Chen Yunfu sighed, nodded, walked in front of Zeng Shihui, wanted to stretch out his hand but then withdrew it.

"Okay, okay, get up, you stay here tonight first, let me think about how to arrange it later."

"Yes, I thank Lord Hou for your great kindness."

"Don't call me Lord Hou, there is no Wu Zhonghou here, there is only one innkeeper, you can call the innkeeper or the boss if you like."

As Chen Yunfu spoke, there was a more rapid knock on the door and shouts in his ears.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

There was a lot of arrogance in this voice, which made Chen Yunfu's face change.

Could it be that Zeng Shihui's pursuers came after him so quickly?

While worrying, there was another rush of footsteps outside the door, it was Qiaoer who came back.

"Uncle, Brother Mu and the others are here. They just came in through the back door and are obeying orders in the backyard. Do you see?"

"Tell them to go to the front door and see who it is."

Chen Yunfu was upset when he heard the door slamming more and more quickly, so he stopped telling Qiao'er and went downstairs to the backyard.

"I have seen you in a humble position"

"No." Chen Yunfu grasped Mu Shiqun's forearm, his eyes flickered coldly: "Get rid of the people at the front door and clean it up."

Whether it was the bandits chasing Zeng Shihui or not, Chen Yunfu didn't dare to take the risk to open the door.

Mu Shiqun nodded but did not speak. He was about to leave with his waist knife in his hand, but was stopped by Chen Yunfu.

A golden waist card was stuffed into Mu Shiqun's hand.

"Find a brother to command the envoys at the Suzhou Army Garrison Guard Station. Suzhou has a full five thousand households. In the name of rotating garrisons, one guard will be transferred to Wuzhong County to take over the city defense."

"Army?"

Just as Mu Shiqun wanted to ask whether Chen Yunfu was confused, he saw the words on this golden waist card.

"Crown Prince: Biao Ling!"

Without further ado, I knelt down on one knee and took it respectfully.

Watching Mu Shiqun lead the people away, Chen Yunfu sighed in annoyance.

I thought that I could live an Ansheng life for two years when I came to Wuzhong County, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to be an Ansheng.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Open the door, open the door!"

"If you don't open the door again, don't blame us for not staying."

"who!"

"Ugh!!"

After a while of tinkling metal and iron, all the noise disappeared without a trace. Chen Yunfu walked to the door silently, and Mu Shiqun's whisper came in.

"Master Hou, it's clean!"

Chen Yunfu didn't say anything, and strode upstairs with a gloomy face.

This New Year's Eve is so fucking bad!
