When night fell and there were no stars or bright moon, Luo Bai and others were finally handed over to the Tang family caregivers by Jia Zhuo and others.
"Master Xiao, this is the person the young lady wants. Please take a look at it, Master Xiao."
Jia Zhuo stepped forward and said to the leader, Xiao Zhengrong, with his hands raised. Others behind him did not dare to interrupt. The existence of the guardians was the foundation for the Tang family to settle down in Yun Town, especially the existence of Xiao Zhengrong and others.
Speaking of the caregivers, we have to talk about the time when Master Tang went to Xuancheng to fight against the beast tide, because Xiao Zhengrong and others were brought back from the battlefield by Master Tang, and they all respected Master Tang.
Don't dare to slack off even a little bit.
Many people have asked Mr. Tang why these people are willing to follow you. Mr. Tang would often say that it is all luck, all luck.
Therefore, until now, no one knows why these powerful people never left the Tang family, and were only willing to be small guardians, not even the elders of the Tang family.
"All of these? When did Miss want so many people?"
Xiao Zhengrong raised his head and glanced at the people surrounding Jia Zhuo, his eyes resting on Yang Qingxue. Among these people, he only knew the girl from the Yang family.
"Mr. Xiao, the young lady only wants girls from the Yang family, but these young men insist on coming with them, so we have no choice but to bring them all back. Mr. Xiao, will this annoy the young lady?"
Jia Zhuo rubbed his palms, a little embarrassed. He didn't know the actual situation, but he had already brought them back. He couldn't tell others that he came here voluntarily, right?
"Well, it's okay. I'll just take them all back. I'll inform the young lady tomorrow morning. The young lady has told me that if a girl from the Yang family is captured and taken to the Tang family water prison, you, Wang Shengze and Ji Lin will follow me
Go back and let the rest of you disperse."
Xiao Zhengrong nodded. He just asked and brought as many people as he wanted. As long as he was here, he wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.
"Yes! Mr. Xiao, we'll take care of it right away."
Jia Zhuo responded, then resigned, stood together with Wang Shengze, and waved all the people in the team to disperse, leaving only Luo Bai and others.
"Master Xiao, the arrangements have been made. What do you think of this?"
Jia Zhuo looked at the five honest people, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shook his head, walked towards Xiao Zhengrong, and asked what he should do next.
"Take the people and follow me and return to Tang's house before dawn."
Xiao Zhengrong glanced at the remaining seven or eight people, said nothing, turned around and walked forward. There was a long and quiet path, and the shadows of the trees danced. For a while, there was only the sound of people walking softly, breathing, and diffused.
Passing through the forest, they merge into the boundless.
…
The next day, there was a house in the west of Yun Town. In front of the main courtyard, there were no stalls or vendors. There were only majestic stone lions and four courtyard guards.
Looking far away, I happened to see the plaque on the courtyard, which read, "Tang Mansion."
The people living in this compound are people from the Tang family in Yunzhen. The Tang family is a family of blacksmiths. In the past thirty years, they have forged many high-quality weapons. Many mercenaries and disciples of the Nine Swords Sect are willing to believe in the Tang family's craftsmanship. Therefore, the Tang family's forging
The business of the shop is booming.
The Tang family compound covers an area of 46 acres and has many attics and side courtyards. It is where the Tang family members live. As for the blacksmiths and the like, they have their own places to live in Xifang. The Tang family only needs to give them
Just enough salary.
There is an attic in the Tang family that is different from other places. It is a three-story building that is exceptionally beautiful. It is a particularly eye-catching place in the huge land of the Tang family.
This place was known as the Pearl of the Tang Dynasty and was named Ziyuan.
Living in Ziyuan is Tang Wanqiu, the only eldest lady of the Tang family, and there are eighteen attendants and maids. Some of them have the strength of the late Black Iron Realm. In this Yun Town, having such an entourage can be regarded as
It's relatively rare.
After the bell rang three times, the four maids waiting outside Ziyuan's door opened the door, rushed in carrying washbasins, water, cloth towels, and small bowls for mouthwash.
As soon as the door was entered, there were four purple curtains in total. After lifting the last curtain, one could see the stairway. Several people went up the stairs as usual and arrived at the second floor of Ziyuan.
On the second floor, there are also purple curtains. At this time, they are no longer running around. Some are putting pots on them, and some are opening wardrobes and picking out clothes.
The person who was slightly in charge among the four people had already entered the curtain, and a faint voice came out.
"Miss, the time has come, please stay."
As soon as the man's voice fell, a somewhat charming voice came from inside. As soon as the voice came out, it aroused people's hearts. If they could see his face, they would be shocked.
"Well, okay. Haruyuki, do you have any instructions from father today?"
"Back to Miss, the master has not sent any orders yet, but there is news from Mr. Xiao that Miss Yang has been arrested and is now in the water prison. If Miss has time, she can go there."
Chunxue opened the bed curtains, stretched out her arms, and helped Tang Wanqiu get up.
"Really? We finally caught someone? I'll go over there later and take off my clothes. I want the pomegranate-colored one today."
Tang Wanqiu nodded, indicating that she understood, put on her shoes, reached out to lift the bead curtain, and walked outside.
"Yes, miss."
Chunxue responded and followed Tang Wanqiu.
"Um."
Tang Wanqiu responded, spread his arms and closed his eyes.
Then, Haruyuki and the other four began to move, one after another, without stopping.
…
"Dongsu, is there a spring snowman?"
In the corridor, Tang Wanqiu touched the butterfly hairpin on his head, looked at Dongsu and Dong on the left and right, and asked about Chunxue's whereabouts.
"Miss, Sister Chunxue was called by Mr. Wang for a basic inspection. There will be five days after today, which are the annual audit days of the Tang Mansion. Miss, do you need to send someone to call Sister Chunxue back?"
The person who is talking is the maid Dong Su. Dong Su and Xia Ling have children from the same family. They can attend these audit days later. There is no rush for time anyway.
"It's already this time. It's okay. If Haruyuki has something to do, let her go. You two will go with me to the water prison. I want to see that person from the Yang family."
Tang Wanqiu waved his hand and continued walking forward. The corridor was very long, with benches every 100 meters. There were people on the benches. When they saw Tang Wanqiu coming, they all got up and acted rudely. It was not until Tang Wanqiu left that they
They would look at each other and stand up, not daring to say anything.
The Tang Family Water Prison is located in the upper east corner of the Tang Family. There is a stone house located there. There are two people guarding the door with spears in their hands. They look majestic. The stone house behind them seems to be a very important place.
"Miss, what are you planning to do?"
When the people at the door of the stone house saw Tang Wanqiu, they immediately ran out. Seeing Tang Wanqiu, they hunched over and asked.
"Xiao Zhengrong said that the Yang family has been arrested and is in the water prison. I want to go down there."
Tang Wanqiu stretched out his hand to help the two of them get up and asked about the Yang family.
"Miss, Mr. Xiao came here once and took a total of five people to the water prison. Only one of them was from the Yang family, the girl from the Yang family. Miss, are you going to see that girl or several other young people?
Lang? They are not in the same place."
"Let's go see Miss Yang first and send someone to take me there."
Tang Wanqiu nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Okay, let someone take you there immediately. The water prison is dirty and messy. Please pay attention to it, Miss."
The two people returned, and one of them pushed open the stone door and walked in. Soon an old man was running behind him. The old man nodded and came to Tang Wanqiu.
"The eldest lady is here, and the old man may not be able to welcome her from afar, but sometimes she may not be welcomed from afar."
The old man's name is Ji Rushan, and he is a very old man in the Tang family. Originally, when the Tang family did not have such a big business, Ji Rushan was already in the Tang family.
"Grandpa Ji, even you want to make fun of me."
When Tang Wanqiu saw Ji Rushan, a smile broke out on his face, and he stepped forward and took Ji Rushan's arm.
"Grandpa Ji, when did you come to the water prison? Grandpa Ji, didn't father ask you to take charge of the forging workshop?"
Maybe because Ji Rushan is a familiar person, Tang Wanqiu's tone of voice is different, soft and naturally charming, which makes people's hearts flutter.
"Miss, the master mentioned before that it was the old man who wanted to come to the water prison. The eldest lady came to the water prison to meet the Yang family, right? Old man, I will take you there right now."
Ji Rushan patted Tang Wanqiu's hand, then took Tang Wanqiu's hand and walked forward, followed by Dong Su and others, and the group entered the stone house.
The inside of the stone house is empty, but there is a staircase going down. Go down one level at a time, and reaching the bottom is the real water prison.
The Water Prison lives up to its name, it is a cage located in a pool.
The Tang family spent countless efforts to build such a pool, then covered it with ground floor and divided it into rooms one after another, mainly to teach disobedient servants.
Miss Yang is an exception, because she is the person Tang Wanqiu wanted personally.
In the same way, there will be other people who want to be caught in the water prison. If they are placed here, Ji Rushan is in charge, plus Xiao Zhengrong and others, almost no one dares to attack the water prison.
The water prison is divided into four areas, with four twists and turns. The central area is hung with very large and thick iron chains. Only those who have made very, very big mistakes will use them, and the torture is also very severe.
Tang Wanqiu just glanced at it. It was of little use to her. This was her first time in the water prison. What the water prison looked like was not her business.
"Grandpa Ji, are all water prisons like this? Except for the road under our feet, there is no extra open space?"
Tang Wanqiu looked away. What she was more curious about now was the stone path under her feet and the pools of water on both sides. She couldn't quite understand such a distribution.
"Well, Miss, it's like this. That's why the palace keeps the water prison at a distance and doesn't dare to make mistakes."
Ji Rushan nodded and pulled Tang Wanqiu to stop.
"Miss, this is Miss Yang's room. What do you want to see?"
Ji Rushan stretched out his hand and pointed to the right. There was a separate room over there, all with iron railings and an iron chain in the middle. Yang Qingxue was hung on it, with her limbs spread apart and her head drooped, as if she was asleep.
When Tang Wanqiu saw Yang Qingxue like this, she frowned slightly and immediately turned away.
"Grandpa Ji, this is the Miss Yang family? The Yang family Miss Yang Qingxue who lives in the slums? It looks a bit messy. Didn't it mean that the Yang family used to be a blacksmithing family like the Tang family?"
Tang Wanqiu coughed twice and turned to look at Ji Rushan, full of confusion, confusion and confusion. After all, Tang Wanqiu was still a girl who had never left Yun Town.
"Miss, since you don't know Yang Qingxue, why did you ask Zhengrong and the others to go to such trouble to capture Yang Qingxue?"
Ji Rushan was shocked by the eldest lady's words. Someone he didn't know was actually brought to the water prison. Doesn't the eldest lady not understand what the water prison means at all?
"Because she is from the Yang family. Aren't the Yang family members all seeking fame? Then his only second descendant will also inherit their bloodline. It will definitely be like this in the future. I just want to take a look. I will think about the others.
?”
Tang Wanqiu blinked and answered Ji Rushan's question, but the answer was like no answer. Ji Rushan didn't quite understand what Tang Wanqiu meant. He wiped his head with his wrinkled hands and said nothing.
.
"As long as the eldest lady is happy."
As Ji Rushan spoke, he blocked Tang Wanqiu's sight and led him forward.
"In this case, the eldest lady should go and meet those people who are traveling with her. The eldest lady will be interested."
"Really? I heard that there are extra people, but I haven't seen them yet, and I haven't received any information. Grandpa Ji, please excuse me."
Tang Wanqiu followed Ji Rushan's movements and continued walking forward. As for Yang Qingxue, she didn't care now.
As for whether he will care about it in the future, I can't say for sure.
