It had just rained heavily in the morning, and the yellow dirt road was muddy, and there was still a lot of water accumulated in the low-lying places of the streets and alleys.

The three plainclothes entourages were soldiers from General Fuyuan's mansion. They had been trained, their steps were steady and fast, and they rushed in front of the vicious man within a few strokes. The leader of the entourage shouted loudly, "What are you doing?"

The man was much taller than Xia Qingshu's entourage. Hearing the sound, he turned his head to look at the person who made the sound, and said in a bad tone: "I'm teaching my mother-in-law, don't be too fussy! Otherwise, I'll beat you together!" The three raised their whips, very arrogant.

Turning his head, the man grabbed the woman's hair again, pulled her violently, dragged her into the puddle in front of him, and beat her fiercely.

The water splashed from the puddle wet the trousers of the attendants. The three of them looked at each other, rushed up, grabbed the man's wrist and arm on the left and right, squeezed hard, and then broke the man's wrist. There was a heart-rending pain, the palm suddenly let go, and the whip fell off.

"What are you doing! What are you doing!" The man began to struggle violently, trying to break free from the shackles of the two people on the left and right, but the two men were not tall, but the strength in their hands was indeed enormous. After getting down, the man was exhausted.

Two followers supported the man and walked towards Xia Qingshu, and another follower helped the beaten woman from the puddle.

"Who are you? I don't know you. Why are you tied up!" The man's face was ferocious, and he had no strength to struggle, so he could only yell, "Let me go! Let me go!"

The two attendants knelt down on his body and scolded: "General Fuyuan is here, I won't allow you to be so presumptuous!"

"General Fuyuan?" The man was stunned for a moment, the resistance on his face was reduced by half, his hands and feet no longer fluttered and struggling, and then he looked up at Xia Qingshu who was slowly approaching.

"Women are married to be cherished, how can you frantically beat them with a whip?" Xia Qingshu looked at the bruised woman and reprimanded her in a cold voice.

The man's expression became agitated, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. Of course he knew who General Fuyuan was.

"General, is that woman's fault? I beat her because she made a mistake?"

"You hit her when she made a mistake?" Xia Qingshu asked back.

"Yes!" The man showed an aggrieved look.

Xia Qingshu squatted down, her expression suddenly became fierce: "She made a mistake, you just sue the officials, who gave you the right to beat her?"

The man trembled in fright at the sound, his voice immediately dropped, and he pursed his lips and said: "She... she went to steal the man behind my back."

"I didn't!" Hearing this, the woman who was beaten to the ground suddenly screamed, dragging her bloody body, kneeling in front of Xia Qingshu, anxious to prove her innocence: "General Xia, I didn't steal the man, he framed me!"

"You have! I've seen it all!" The man lunged at the woman beside him, and wanted to grab her hair, but Xia Qingshu's entourage behind him grabbed him tightly.

Xia Qingshu glanced back and forth between the two of them for a few times, then moved up to the woman, looked at her and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Hey, why hasn't the general come back yet? Didn't you just say that you will come back after a stick of incense? It's almost an hour now, why is there no one at all? Old Zhao Ge is still waiting inside!" Liu Qi said in the general The gate of the mansion eagerly questioned the servants.

The servant who went to look for Xia Qingshu just now was covered in cold sweat: "Butler Liu, how dare I lie to you. What General Xia said was the time for a stick of incense, but I don't know why he hasn't returned yet."

"What about the people who were sent out later? Didn't you ask you to send more people to find them?"

"The manpower has been sent out, but no one has sent back the news. I'm afraid... I'm afraid the general has not been found yet."

"You..." Liu Qi waved his hand angrily, put his hands behind his back, and turned his gaze to the street outside the door, hoping that Xia Qingshu would appear soon.He can't stand that cunning and treacherous old fox in the house, if he stays in the inner hall, if he says something he shouldn't say, it will be very bad.

"Ahem!" Liu Qi was waiting anxiously, when the old man coughed suddenly from behind, turned around and saw Zhao Yebin supporting Zhao Ge up the steps, followed by the servants, watching the situation, he was about to return home.

Finally going back.

"Elder Ge, Lord Zhao, General Xia is not here, I'm not waiting for the servants to entertain you well, please take care of me." Liu Qi bowed down and said respectfully, and when he looked up, he heard Zhao Yanyuan laugh, while Zhao Yebin beside him didn't look very happy. good.

"General Xia is really a hero among women. No one among the ministers can make the old man wait so long. Your general is the first, haha. It was getting late, and the old man's legs and feet started to hurt. I'm staying at the Fuyuan General's Mansion, so I'm going back to the mansion." Zhao Yanyuan spoke slowly, smiled softly, and had kind eyes and kind eyes, but made people feel cold all over his body.

"Master Ge, go slowly, Mr. Zhao, go slowly." Liu Qi and all the servants of the General's Mansion bowed to see him off.

"Steward Liu stay." Zhao Yebin left this sentence angrily, then carefully helped Zhao Yanyuan onto the sedan chair, and left angrily.

Coincidentally, Xia Qingshu's figure appeared just as this mighty group of people disappeared at the corner of the street.Liu Qi hurried up to greet him: "Hey, General, why did you come back?"
