Black Robbery

three years ago.

Liusu was holding a pot of peeled and seeded grapes, and was about to push the door open, when she suddenly remembered the temper of the young lady in recent days, and knocked on the door of the young lady's room cautiously.

After Feng Luo left, the young lady was very calm. She didn't cry like usual when she was unhappy. She read the account books and scripts as usual, practiced her calligraphy from time to time, and talked less.

This kind of calm made Liusu feel uneasy, Liusu comforted herself, what a big deal, the relationship faded after a long time, and sooner or later she would be that crying lady again.

In a few months, as soon as the plague in Yucheng is over, the young lady will get married.

After thinking about it, he smiled happily.

a month...

two months...

In late autumn, when the cold trees were falling, five days before the wedding, the lady who had been shutting herself in the door was invited by Xuan Xue to sneak out of the room, and entered Xuan Xue's main house through the small back door of the City Lord's Mansion, and watched with Xuan Xue A new version of "Kyushu Fengyun" was released.

Knowing the situation of her family's A Luo, the young lady and Xuan Xue planned how to go to the south of the Yangtze River privately. Xuanxue opened a pot of peach blossom wine given by the young lady, and the two drank and talked until late at night.

To be more precise, the young lady drank nearly a jar alone, while Xuan Xue just took a few sips from her mouth.

In the end, it was rare that the drunken lady could taste the impure taste of this cup, but it was too late, and she fell down on Xuanxue's bed.

Xuanxue had already contacted a coachman privately, put the young lady on the back of the carriage, and asked him to hurry up, take a letter from her, leave the city early tomorrow morning, and send her to the mansion of the city lord of Qicheng.

That night, the lord of Changcheng brought the court envoys to visit.

Xuanxue hid behind the main screen and listened with bated breath, thinking, fortunately, she moved a step faster, and quietly returned to the backyard.

The court envoys came to arrest the criminals who smuggled arms from the Northwest with the troops of Changcheng.

In this era, people are born unequal, a city lord can arrest one person for smuggling, and a low-level businessman can count as ill-gotten wealth with one order.

All the members of the Li family were corrupted, all the families were copied and executed, and the maids and guards were exiled to the northwest.

Xuanxue has been picky by her mistress in every way, and she has developed a habit of being cautious since she was a child. Her father has long been aware of the arms smuggling.

And by chance, she made friends with Xia Jiaqing'er at a party, and was told by a letter that her father was visiting the Xuancheng area privately as a court messenger, and she was asked to be careful in everything alone for fear of trouble.

"My lord, the offender Li Linyuan and the offender Xuan Jinde have been imprisoned, and the offender's daughter Li Shu is missing." One person said.

"Have you checked the maids?"

"My lord, Xuan Jinde is here to report that his daughter Xuanxue has always been good friends with Miss Li's family. Your lord can ask her for an appraisal!"

City Lord Xuan has done a lot of bad things in his life. He was afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Now that the "ghost" came to knock on the door, he was scared out of his courage.

The poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring, Youchang Xia hated this kind of corrupt officials again, "Xuan..."

Xuanxue was pushed in front of Youchang Xia by two guards, her eyes were red, Lihua was raining but she didn't dare to cry, her body trembled slightly.

They are all people with daughters at home, and Xia Youchang is well-known in the imperial city circle for doting on daughters. Seeing a child who is as old as her daughter frightened like this, no matter how impartial she is, her heart softens slightly.

"Miss Xuan, don't be afraid, the official told you to come out, just identify one person, and I won't do anything to you."

A row of servant girls were so shocked that their eyes were dumbfounded, and they sobbed softly. Xuanxue moved forward step by step with trembling legs, biting her lower lip, and stopped in front of a servant girl, unable to stretch her hands.

"Take her down!"

Liusu looked up at the uncharacteristic Xuanxue, and immediately understood.

"Xue'er, Daddy! Save me!" Crash burst into tears, "What the hell are you doing arresting us, let me go! Xue'er save me!"

The exhausted crying and cursing became farther and farther away, Xuan Xue seemed to be affected by her, and collapsed on the ground, staring blankly.

"Take your lady down." The guard next to Youchang Xia relayed.

A maid helped Xuanxue up, and Xuanxue moved Xia Youchang's sight away step by step.

……

It was dusk when the young lady woke up, curled up in the carriage.

She was sore and felt an unusual jolt, she suddenly opened her eyes and got up, but because of dizziness, she slammed into the side of the car wall, her whole body swayed, and she fell off the car seat.

it hurts...

In an instant, tears filled his eyes.

After the young lady regained her clarity, she immediately looked around the situation.

Opening the curtain, the carriage quickly moved forward on the official road.

Looking around, there is only one special bag, which contains silver and food.

A wave of memories flooded in instantly.

She and Xue'er discussed how to go to the south of the Yangtze River to find Feng Luo...

This is too hasty, the lady can't laugh or cry.

She is not ready yet, so she has to leave a letter to her father anyway, Shigu's trip is difficult, she has to find a reliable bodyguard, and write a letter to her family A Luo, asking her to come pick her up.

"Uncle, where have you been?" The lady raised the curtain of the car and asked the driver.

"I'm a good horse, and I can travel thousands of miles a day. Don't worry, I will arrive in Qicheng tomorrow morning."

Over the years, the coachman has pulled all kinds of people, both good and bad. As long as he has a lot of money, he has developed a good ability to observe people's words, talk about people, and talk nonsense.

Xuancheng was not allowed to go out of the city at night for non-business reasons. There was such a big commotion that the coachman knew what was going on as soon as he inquired. The little girl woke up and asked him where he was first, which meant that she knew about it.

"In today's world, how many of those officials really think this way under the banner of serving the country and the people? It's just because your family has a lot of money, and it's all for your own personal gain...Little girl, you also mourn, live well more than anything."

Miss was confused by his words, and an ominous premonition rose in her heart, "Uncle, what happened?"

"Don't worry about it, let's go to Qicheng first. Is there any relationship between your house and the house of the Lord Qicheng?" The coachman tried to change the subject.

The young lady fell silent, and tried to rummage through the bag, and finally found a letter under the bag, "From the owner of Qi City."

Xue'er's handwriting was eloquent, and finally added a sentence, "I know you will open it, don't be angry with me, and don't come back to be angry with me, the dead is gone, don't chase after the past, marry Qi Zhaoming, live a good life go down."

Li Shu held the letter in her hand, her brain, which used to be flexible in calculating accounts, couldn't move, her eyes turned black, and after a while, she lost all strength.

"Uncle, can you take me back?" After a while, Li Shu asked.

Her father is greedy for money, but not a smuggler!

All the books in the mansion have passed through her hands, and they are all clean, so it is impossible to smuggle arms!

"Little girl, going back is courting death." The coachman refused.

"I'll give you money."

"Miss Xuan asked me to bring you to Qicheng, but she gave me two gold coins. Can you give me so much?"

Li Shu flipped through the baggage, and there was a total of 19 taels, and the remaining pieces of silver were just not enough to make up one tael of silver.

Xuan Xue thoughtfully took off the jewelry she was wearing, and Li Shu remained silent.

"Little girl, don't even try to run away. Once you jump off, you will be run over by the carriage accidentally, and there will be no one to sue in the future." The coachman said again.

"Okay." After a while, Li Shu said, obviously not crying, but the noise became hoarse.

The coachman drove for another night, but there was no sound in the car. The coachman was puzzled, so he lifted the curtain and saw that the girl was asleep.

The carriage drove slowly into Qicheng, and the coachman felt more and more that something was wrong.

So he parked the car on the side of the road and touched Li Shu's forehead after entering the curtain.

It was hot and hot, and I was horrified.

The most important thing in business is honesty, he promised Miss Xuan to send the person to the City Lord's Mansion intact, and personally hand it over to the City Lord Qi.

It burned all night and looked half dead. How should I explain this?

The coachman stopped in front of the hospital, carried the man in, and paid out of his own pocket, "Excuse me, show it to my girl!"

Li Shu was carried to a room in the backyard, and there was a young man in the same room.

The young man was dozing off on his stomach, the arrow wound on his back hadn't healed yet, when he was suddenly woken up by a movement, feeling upset, he opened his eyes and watched vigilantly.

He saw a girl being carried to a bed next to him. After a while, someone woke her up and gave her medicine.

"Tassel, sugar..." The sticky voice was crying.

so squeamish...

The young man glanced at her in disgust, and when he saw the man's face, he was taken aback and blurted out.

"mother?!"
