Chapter 690: The wild is hard to tame
When the news of the closing of the procuratorate came, although I didn't know what was going on inside, it was said that when the officials from all over the place, they were either worried, sighed, or looked solemn when they left. In short, there were few relaxed people. Xiaobei was completely sure that Wang Fulin won a big victory once again. Regarding this, he had worked with Wang Fulin, in Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, and Danyang, and Lu Guangwu, who knew Wang Fulin very well, naturally had no doubts. Wang Ji had heard He Xinyin talk about Wang Fulin's glorious achievements, and after hearing the report, he smiled and sent the person away.
Only Zheng Mingxian asked incrediblely: "It's just that those officials seemed to be unhappy when they left the procuratorate. I didn't throw cold water. Are you all happy too early?"
"That's because you don't know the style of our little Wang inspector." Lu Guangwu laughed and stood up and said to Wang Ji, "Mr. Longxi, Brother Zheng and I will take Xiaobei back to the inn first, otherwise we will let that big girl stay among us. I'm afraid that she won't sleep well every day and we will have a headache. Let's look back at you."
"Go and go, I'm in good health. If you don't come, some people will come to see me." Wang Ji waved his hand with some disgust, but said to Xiaobei and Bizhu with a smile, "You two little girls, you can come at any time in the future. If those hard guys in front of the door don't let anyone go, you will climb over the wall. Don't worry, I'm old, but my ears are working. You just shouted Wang Longxi on the wall, and I'll definitely come out and open the door."
“…”
Xiaobei didn't know how to evaluate Wang Shouren's closed disciple, but at that age, she could only agree vaguely. Until she said goodbye with Lu Guangwu and left the door, she remembered that she and Bizhu had just been stopped by someone, and immediately glanced at the wall with her eyes. Finally, Lu Guangwu knew the little girl's nature well, and said angrily: "Don't look, the person who just came to report the message saw you, and I think she had already sent a message, and no one would stop you both from going out. Don't think about climbing over the wall!"
After someone saw through his mind, Xiaobei could only find the topic and change it. Bizhu, who was half a step behind, wanted to lower her head and cover her face. After all, she had already seen Zheng Mingxian's extremely subtle face beside her.
I think so. Who would have thought that the daughter of the Hu family was now jumping up and down like a wild girl?
Sihai Inn is located in the southeast corner of Guangzhou City. It is a well-known and time-honored brand. It is not very luxurious, but old guests like the enthusiasm of being at home. This is what Lu Guangwu is like. At this time, he, Zheng Mingxian and two followers brought Xiaobei's master and servant back, and the clerk greeted enthusiastically: "Honest Master Lu is back? The sugar water in the kitchen is almost cooked, and it will be sent to the yard in a while."
Lu Guangwu smiled and thanked him. When Xiaobei and Bizhu followed in, he smiled and said, "Where do you live? If you think this place is good, you might as well move here. The yard is very good, and Brother Zheng and I can't live for long."
Xiaobei then remembered that Lu Guangwu only said that he was here with Zheng Mingxian to find He Xinyin, and the rest had not been mentioned yet. Wang Fulin mentioned to her the matter He Xinyin entrusted. She was not good at making clear to Lu Guangwu because Zheng Mingxian was present, and she didn't know whether Wang Ji had said to Lu Guangwu before. She could only quietly pull Lu Guangwu's sleeve while the person was unprepared and whispered, "Uncle Lu, I have something to say to you."
Lu Guangwu nodded slightly, and saw the two followers guarding the door of the east wing, he said without looking back: "The person is inside, you and Bizhu go in. I won't go in, so that the girl can't handle it if she looks like a furry kitten."
Xiaobei was really curious about the girl Lu Guangwu and Zheng Mingxian rescued. However, after she opened the door and entered, she had not yet stood firm, and suddenly she heard a loud sound breaking through the air. Although her cautiousness and agility had always made her flash to the side in an instant and could barely escape the disaster, she immediately changed her face when she saw the long nail pierced on the door panel and the tail trembling slightly. The one who reacted even more than her was Bizhu.
This girl who had been growing up in the Ye family almost jumped up and rushed towards the direction of the hidden weapon like an agile deer. Xiaobei only heard a sound of fists and feet fighting in the shadows in the corner of the wall, Bi Zhujun gasped slightly: "Miss, hold this girl... Oh, I still want to bite people, are you a dog? You bite people without even asking!"
Xiaobei rushed over and saw Bizhu cutting back the arms of a 15 or 16-year-old girl with her left hand, and pinching her jaw with her right hand. The captured little girl was still struggling desperately, as if she wanted to break free. She immediately frowned. She looked around and pulled up a soft scarf hanging on the side, tied up her hands in a few seconds, and then said coldly: "Although I'm sorry for Uncle Lu's kindness to save people, I almost got plotted against by this girl, but I didn't care about so many. I sent the person to the government and convicted her of murder!"
Bizhu was still scared at this time and hated this inexplicable girl to the core. Therefore, Xiaobei said this, and she immediately agreed without thinking about it: "That should be done! This ungrateful guy, if it was not the lady who came in but the one from Mr. Lu and his friends, wouldn't it be unlucky if he was plotted against? Mr. Lu also planned to let the lady take her in, and kindly feed the donkey's liver and lungs!"
The two of them spoke official language in front and behind. There was no way. It was less than a month since they arrived in Guangdong. They didn't like Wang Fulin who had opened a cheat, and they could not speak a good Cantonese. However, Xiaobei keenly discovered that the little girl who was bound by her hands tightly pursed her lips and glanced at her master and servant from time to time. Obviously, she understood! She felt a move in her heart, and pretended not to notice at all, clapped her hands and stood up and said, "Let's go, I picked up someone and went out. Uncle Lu and the others can set off without any worries. Let's do our thing, just one less drag..."
"Wait a minute!"
She was walking out and heard the sound coming from behind. She immediately raised the corner of her mouth and thought to herself that as expected. The next moment, she heard the little girl say in a slightly stiff official language: "I didn't mean it just now, I only saw you meet each other, so..."
"You can throw that kind of nail in the face and hurt people at will? This is an inn in Guangzhou, not a barren mountain. You can throw hidden weapons at the pheasant, rabbit, wild boar!" Bizhu would not be fooled so easily, and scolded like a cannon, "This is my lady who is lucky and capable, and she was not injured by you. Otherwise, you can afford it..."
The girl who was tied tightly with her hands and was pulled by Bizhu with one hand couldn't help but bit her lips, feeling a little aggrieved. How did I know that you two men dressed up as women, and I thought that the men outside were finally crazy and couldn't help it! However, she had met kind-hearted people for so many days outside, but it was the first time that there was a woman among these kind-hearted people. She didn't want to miss this rare opportunity. Therefore, even the resentment was very bad. She could only bite the bullet and endure it.
Xiaobei heard no movement outside, as if there was no one guarding the door, and he didn't know what was happening in the house. She couldn't help but snorted, thinking that Lu Guangwu had really let go and left her alone, and she really lost a big trouble! Seeing that this wild and hard-working girl was scolded by Bizhu, she said lightly: "If we don't send you to the government, then you can tell the truth. Who is the surname, who is the person, and how did you save me by Uncle Lu and the others?"
When the girl heard Xiaobei ask about this, she hesitated. Although the old men looked terrible, they were still a little tolerant of her. Except for her trying to sneak away, she was discovered and stopped by someone. In the end, they were scolded. At other times, whether they were eating, drinking or staying, they took great care of themselves. However, the pair of masters and servants in front of her were obviously different. Not only did they have good martial arts skills, but they also had extremely tough attitude towards her. Moreover, what they just said, it was the middle-aged man named Lu who saved and took in him, who had to hand her over to them to take care of her!
Realizing that the situation was different from before. But at least there was no need to worry that those men would show their nature and violate them day and night, she finally whispered: "My name is Xiuzhu, and I am from Chaozhou Prefecture. I was bullied on the road because I was unable to find relatives, so I was saved by Mr. Lu."
"Xiuzhu? Do you don't have a surname?" Xiaobei raised his eyebrows, and then noticed the unnatural expression of the girl who claimed to be Xiuzhu.
"I haven't seen my dad since I was born. I don't know what his surname is." Xiuzhu said, bit her lips tightly, then raised her head and said, "My injuries have healed and no one needs to be taken care of. You thank Mr. Lu for me for your behalf. Can you let me go?"
"Let you go? To be honest, I haven't settled your account with you yet!" Bizhu glanced at Xiaobei and shook his head quietly, and immediately said unreasonably, "Besides, even if Mr. Lu doesn't want to repay you, how much medical expenses and money you have used in these days, and the inn's room money, why do you pay back? You don't even think about leaving these accounts clearly, so how cheap it is!"
Xiuzhu had never met a sharp-tongued opponent like Bizhu. In addition, she was not satisfied with her official words. After being stunned, the unyielding feeling in her heart gained the upper hand. She simply raised her head and said, "What do you want?"
"Not really. I just arrived in Guangzhou City for a while, and I still have fewer girls who are living in the place. You can help me with a year, including food and accommodation, and the accounts will be settled in a year." Xiaobei seemed to say this casually, but he always paid attention to Xiuzhu's expression from the corner of his eyes.
"this……"
Bizhu immediately said, "What's this? If you have relatives and friends in Guangzhou, then the lady and I will send you there and let others pay the bill for you. If not, you are so old, wouldn't you be able to find another place to work? If the lady hadn't been for the sake of Mr. Lu, she wouldn't have taken you so kindly!"
Although she had other things to do, the master and servant were holding their weaknesses tightly, Xiuzhu couldn't refuse at all, and she was immediately confused. After hesitating for a long time, she could only agree. Seeing Xiaobei taking off the nail she threw out at the door, she looked at her with a smile. She felt more and more that she didn't know how to go ahead. When Bizhu pulled him out to meet Lu Guangwu and others, she heard that the men who had previously thought were fierce and didn't say much at all, as if she was still relieved to lose a burden, and her mood became even worse.
Since that's the case, why did these people hold themselves back and let her go before? Wouldn't that be less trouble?
Xiaobei ignored Xiuzhu, who was full of doubts, and after Bizhu looked at the girl, she took an opportunity to pull Lu Guangwu and talked alone. When she learned that Lu Guangwu didn't know that He Xinyin had entrusted Wang Fulin with such a big event, and Wang Ji had never mentioned it, she couldn't help but frown and said, "What does Uncle He mean? You asked you to go around and search for people, and then asked Fulin to gather people, but he ran away... By the way, Uncle Lu, you came to Guangzhou and took that Young Master Zheng with you. What is the purpose of? Just to find Uncle He, I took this trip specially?"
"I heard that the teacher was in Guangzhou, so I came over to take a look. As for Mr. Zheng, it was because of his father's will. Although the Japanese pirates have been roughly pacified, pirates are rampant, especially on the coast of Fujian and Guangdong. Lin Daoqian and other pirates are extremely rampant, so he wanted to ask the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Ling Yunyi to present a few volumes of his father's manuscripts. The Yao people's rebellion is imminent, but the coastal defense cannot be ignored. Furthermore, the Folang Ji people are in Haojing. Although he has helped me repeatedly to pacify the pirates in the Ming Dynasty over the years, and he has made great achievements, he believes that the Folang Ji people have ulterior motives. Just right, you will mention it to Shiqing and see if you can take the time to meet him."
Speaking of this, Lu Guangwu was quite emotional: "If you want to march and fight on land, kill generals and seize flags, ten Zheng Bolu could not defeat me, one of me. But if you want to talk about naval battles, sea defense, firearms and ship battles, ten Lu Guangwu could not defeat one of Zheng Bolu. It's a pity that Zheng Duke died. Fortunately, Brother Zheng is a descendant of Zheng Duke, and I can't help much, so it's good to get a recommendation."
"It's not just the recommendation, Wang Fulin is worried that there are few people around him. Uncle Lu, you are helping me." Xiaobei smiled and thanked Lu Guangwu for Wang Fulin. Then he turned his eyes and said, "Then please stay for Uncle Lu and Mr. Zheng for two more days. When I turn back to see Fulin, I will set the time to meet. By the way, I will take this Xiuzhu girl back first. No matter what is wrong with her, I won't try to escape when I get to my hands!"
In the procuratorate, when Wang Fulin had just taken the time to see Master Cai and sent him back to Xiangshan to bring Father Francis. When he turned around and received the letter from Xiaobei, he couldn't help but feel sad and surprised. What was sad was that He Xinyin refused to give up his ideas after all, and he refused to give up his own tricks. What was surprised was that Lu Guangwu not only came, but also brought Zheng Mingxian, the son of the famous coastal defense strategist Zheng Ruozeng. However, seeing that Xiaobei had just mentioned a little at the end, his face became strange.
