"It looks good. You can marry me and take her home."
"Hey, don't tell me, I really have this idea, but I'm afraid it won't be my turn."
"What, someone is robbing you?" Two city guardsmen whispered behind the team. While talking, their eyes couldn't take away from the graceful figure in front of them.
"Our captain, look at him, there are only a few words written on his face."
"What's the word?" The team member said contemptuously,
"If you are stupid and have a lot of money, please marry me."
"What are you two arguing about? Hurry up and catch up."
"Here we come." The squad leader glared angrily at the team member who dared to tease him. When he looked back at Du Liniang, he was flattered for a moment.
"Little lady, don't worry, I will definitely help you find your son." Du Liniang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded gratefully to the squad leader.
"The civilian girl will thank the general first."
"Hahaha, I don't dare, I don't dare. Just call me third brother. Oh, by the way, my surname is Qin." Du Liniang frowned slightly and reacted with some resistance.
When the squad leader saw this, he asked in a very irritated manner: "What's wrong with you, little lady?" The girl standing aside took Du Liniang's arm, first comforted her, and then said: "The general doesn't know anything, my master.
Also named Qin, he is a general under the command of Lu Zhonglang."
"Uh... er, sorry, my, my real surname is Qin." The team leader was speechless for a moment, the sentimental man is still alive.
Lu Zhonglang? The squad leader's expression changed, and he looked at Du Liniang's back thoughtfully. Although he was a little reluctant to leave, after thinking about it, he took a step forward and said, "My dear lady, did you know that Lu Zhonglang also has a mansion in Anyi?"
Du Liniang raised her embroidered eyebrows slightly and asked somewhat unexpectedly: "Is this true?" The captain said truthfully: "Of course, and as far as I know, Lu Zhonglang's daughter is still living in the city and has a good relationship with my second master.
, since the young lady is the family member of General Lu Zhonglang, Miss Lu should take care of you." Upon hearing this, the girl next to her excitedly hugged Du Liniang's arm and said, "Madam, we are saved now." It turns out that this girl is not Du Liniang's.
Daughter, but her personal maid.
Du Liniang looked worried at this time, glanced at the girl, shook her head and said, "Let's forget it. I'm not familiar with that Miss Lu. If I talk so rashly, I'm afraid I'll offend others. Let's find a way to return to Tianshui."
The maid did not know that the reason why Du Liniang went north alone with her son Qin Lang was because her husband Qin Yilu wanted to give her to Lu Bu as his concubine. Now that she had finally escaped from the tiger's mouth, how could she possibly fall into the wolf's den again.
The squad leader felt very unhappy when he saw the sadness on her face. Although the two met for the first time today, he just couldn't see Du Liniang being sad.
"If the young lady doesn't want to go to Lu Mansion, then why not..." He wanted to say that you might as well come to my house. No matter whether you have a husband or a son, I will support you!
But after hesitating for a while, the team leader still made a good suggestion.
"Actually, you can go to Tangchi. You still don't know that if shopkeeper Zhang from Tangchi hadn't reported it, we wouldn't have arrived so quickly and asked you to rescue them all. Moreover, shopkeeper Zhang adopted many orphans due to some personal reasons.
female."
"Only women are adopted?" Du Liniang frowned slightly. Seeing this, the team leader hurriedly explained: "Well, that shopkeeper is also a woman." Du Liniang secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"You can work at Shopkeeper Zhang's place to earn money. Tianshui is a long way away. You are penniless now, so it's hard to go north rashly. However, if you are really in a hurry, I actually have some savings here..."
"No, no need. Thank you General Qin for your advice. I'll go to Shopkeeper Zhang and find a job that's acceptable, so I won't bother the general." The team leader looked disappointed, as if Du Liniang didn't want his money but just looked down on him.
.
···Wei Mansion. After Tian Feng finished his report, he frowned and said, "After all, Zhao Sheng belongs to Tao Qian, and human trafficking does not constitute a serious crime. It seems a little unjustifiable to kill him." Wei Cheng held his hand.
He was flipping through an ancient book and said without raising his head: "I didn't ask you to behead the person directly. You first go and ask the women who were sold into slavery whether they voluntarily became slaves. If not,
How was he coerced?"
"This..." Tian Feng scratched his head. He didn't quite understand Wei Cheng's brain circuit. Even the laws of Han Dynasty did not prohibit human trafficking, which proved that there was no need to strictly prohibit this thing.
Moreover, human trafficking can also allow people from poor areas to continue to flow to wealthy areas that require more labor. In his opinion, this is a good thing.
"What, it's hard to handle?" Wei Cheng suddenly lost his temper when he saw the hesitant look on his face. Wei Cheng rarely loses his temper with his subordinates, but it doesn't mean that he is really a negotiable person.
Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "It's easy to handle, don't worry, sir, I'll go right away." After Tian Feng left.
Wei Cheng threw down the ancient book in his hand angrily, stood up and walked to the door, looking at the newly sprouted ginkgo tree in the yard.
"Human traffickers should all die." The breeze blew by, and the originally spring-filled courtyard seemed to suddenly become a bit more solemn.
···Outside the south gate of Anyi, a carriage came slowly, with a tall man wearing a bamboo hat sitting on the shaft of the carriage.
The curtain of the car was opened from the inside. Xun Yu raised his head and glanced at the city gate tower in the distance, and said with a smile: "I'm finally back." Hearing this, the big man took off his bamboo hat.
His beard is two feet long, his face is as heavy as a jujube, his lips are like greased lips, his eyes are red and phoenix, and his eyebrows are lying on silkworms. He stands up slowly, and his body is nine feet long.
"Yes, we're here." Guan Yu jumped out of the carriage, stretched his waist on the spot, and said with a smile: "Thanks to my husband for this journey, I will go back to my third brother's place and ask him to come and have a few drinks.
"Xun Yu also got off the carriage, cupped his hands, and nodded in response: "Brother Yun invited me, Xun will definitely be there." At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the red clouds in the distance reflected the faces of the two of them, and they looked at each other.
Look at each other and smile.
Guan Yu straightened his long beard, clasped his fists and saluted, and said solemnly: "In this case, Guan will take his leave first. Sir, please return to his post as soon as possible. The young master's affairs cannot be delayed. The two of us will pick another day to continue." Xun Yu.
Nodding slightly, the two separated at the bell tower. One went to the Wei Mansion and the other to Zhang Fei's residence.
Guan Yu followed his memory to find directions along the way. Anyi County had changed a lot. He had only been away for a few months and almost got lost.
Fortunately, I met a villager from Haojia Village on the road. Under his guidance, I finally found the alley where the Longshan Army General lived.
"The third house on the left, the third house on the left..." Guan Yu muttered as he searched for it. When he came to a courtyard, he stopped and straightened his clothes.
He was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but he heard a "squeak" sound, the door opened, and then a basin of cold water rushed towards him, dousing him.
"Ah, I, what, what should I do?"
"Liniang, what happened?"
"Sister Hui, I accidentally spilled the vegetable washing water on passers-by..." Guan Yu wiped the vegetable leaves off his face with his big hand like a cattail leaf, looked up at the woman in front of him, was startled at first, and then just rose.
