"Five, four, three"
As the countdown comes to an end.
Dozens of girls had already walked over and stood on Li Xiao's side.
They were worried and trembling, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
But after hearing the voice just now, these women were willing to take a gamble.
In fact, they are not living well here.
I don't see sunlight every day, and I stay in this room all day long, unable to communicate with the outside world.
They eat very little food and have to be trained. If they don't do well, they will be beaten and scolded, just like animals.
Their biggest hope is to be sold one day and change the status quo.
But if it were the current situation just mentioned, then it would be better to die.
A girl asked: "These people are very powerful. If we escape like this, will they catch us? If we are caught, it will be over. We will be beaten to death."
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu laughed: "Don't worry, they can't catch you! This rescue of you is a secret operation, so seamless that no one knows about it. To say the least, even if you are caught, with us here, they don't have the strength!"
Zhu Gaoxu's words seemed to give these girls reassurance.
Later, another girl asked: "We are out, what should we do to make a living? After all, we have no home, no parents, and nothing."
Li Xiao patted his chest and promised: "After we go out, I will arrange for you to work as weaver girls, tea ladies, etc., so that you can live a normal life again."
After saying that, Li Xiao continued to count down, giving a sense of oppression, "Two, one."
Hearing such affirmation, more girls came over one after another.
People have a herd mentality.
As the girl came, many of the remaining people also came over.
A full two hundred girls came, and the rest were still watching.
"Okay! We can't wait any longer. Things will change later. Leave!"
Li Xiao waved his hand, and everyone turned around without looking back, leading the two hundred girls away.
Seeing that they were gone, the remaining girls became anxious.
They thought that if so many people escaped, if the guards asked them tomorrow, they would be beaten to death!
"I go."
"I am coming too!"
"I don't want to stay here anymore. I will be beaten to death tomorrow."
"I don't want to stay here either."
"Xiaoyu, let's go, don't hesitate."
"Well, let's go. Is there anything worse than this?"
In this way, the remaining girls who were watching followed him one after another, leaving no one behind.
"Xiaolang, you are so awesome."
Zhu Ningyun was originally a little worried that these girls wouldn't follow.
Now, with Li Xiao's countdown and persuasion, everyone followed.
"Little tricks"
Li Xiao smiled faintly and looked at the screen in his hand. Through the drone's picture, he found that there was no one outside the mansion.
"No one is outside the house, leave immediately!"
So, Li Xiao greeted everyone and led the girls out of the gate, and then the accompanying carriage also pulled over.
"Everyone, get in the car quickly. Don't talk or make any noise in the car."
Li Xiao ordered, and then all the girls got on the carriage.
Twenty-two carriages barely squeezed these six hundred girls into it. These girls usually accepted the situation without any dissatisfaction.
"The Flying Tigers obey the order and set off, Xiaodongmen!"
After seeing everyone get on the bus, Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
The rescue went smoothly, but the persuasion took a little time, but it was not a big problem.
"There are patrolling soldiers on the street ahead. Everyone, please be gentle, turn left, turn left, continue to turn left and right."
Following Li Xiao's constant command.
This line will never hit the patrolling soldiers.
DJI drone, yyds!
There was a curfew at night and no one else roamed the streets.
Soon, Li Xiao and others arrived at Xiaodongmen.
There's only one last level left.
Leave the city gate!
at the same time.
Because all the nursing homes in the Shouma Yaxing were solved by Li Xiao and others.
The Jin Yiwei led by Ji Gang successfully entered the house, looking for account books and other evidence to uncover the backers and people in power behind the organization.
"found it!"
As Jin Yiwei searched all over the place, he quickly found the account book.
Ji Gang picked up the account book and found that the officials involved could be found in the account book, but one person was shown with a code name, but his real name was not shown.
However, Jin Yiwei was so professional, and he soon discovered that the final flow of these account books was directed to one person, and this person was called: Mr. Lan.
"Who is this Mr. Lan?"
Ji Gang was lost in thought, but in just a few breaths, he took away the account books one by one. Then with a wave of his hand, the guards stood up and jumped, leaving the mansion and disappearing into the night.
The other side.
Not far from Xiaodongmen, where Li Xiao had arrived.
As Li Xiao and others approached.
The soldiers at Xiaodongmen became nervous.
In the middle of the night, suddenly so many people came towards the city gate.
"Lin Baihu, what's wrong, these men in black are coming with great force. I'm afraid we can't stop them. Let's sound the alarm!"
One of the soldiers said anxiously.
"stop!"
Lin Ren stopped him and immediately waved, "Brothers, come here."
Hearing this, these soldiers all approached in confusion.
Lin Ren had a very serious expression on his face and said, "These people are my friends, let them get out of the city."
After saying that, some soldiers immediately looked wary.
"Lin Baihu, this is a serious crime of decapitation! You must not do it!"
"Here are one thousand taels of silver."
Lin Ren took out a stack of banknotes, waved them in front of everyone, and said, "There are ten of us, one hundred taels per person, let's divide it!"
One hundred taels per person is not a small amount. The salary these soldiers receive in a year is only more than thirty taels of silver. This is equivalent to three years of income!
But if you have money to take it, you also have to have a life to enjoy it.
One soldier said: "I don't agree!"
Another soldier hesitated for a while and then said: "Lin Baihu, I don't agree with it either. If the matter is exposed, we will all be beheaded, you."
Before he could finish speaking, two soldiers drew their swords and put them on his neck. These two men were Lin Ren's confidants and dead brothers, and they had been bribed and discussed in advance.
"It's no longer up to you. You have to accept the money today, and you have to accept it even if you don't!"
After finishing speaking, Lin Ren stuffed the banknotes into everyone's hands.
Then, he looked at the crowd and said: "What happened today is not my fault, Lin Ren's. Let's collect the money and take it back to improve our lives. Let's keep it a secret. God knows that you know and I know. Nothing will happen." It’s something!”
After speaking, he waved his hand and said: "Go and open the city gate."
These people originally had hesitant thoughts, but when they got the banknote, a hundred taels of banknote was not a small amount, and the greed in their hearts was instantly amplified.
Creaking, creaking——
The city gate opens.
When Li Xiao saw this scene from a distance, he thought to himself that Lin Ren was really an infatuated person, and he did this anyway, so they wouldn't have to kill anyone.
"Out of town."
Following Li Xiao's command, the soldiers just watched as Li Xiao and others still pulled the carriage out of the city without saying a word.
However, they couldn't see anything wrong with the carriage. On the surface, it looked like it was transporting grain and grass. They had no idea that there were people inside.
The convoy slowly left outside the city gate, and Ruyu was among them.
To be honest, she was a little touched.
He originally thought that Lin Ren would not do such a thing for him, but he did.
Ruyu walked to guard Lin Ren, leaned close to his ear, and whispered: "Lang Lang, I'm waiting for you in Hangzhou."
Hearing this sentence, Lin Ren felt that all this was worth it!
"wait for me!"
He nodded excitedly.
Wait until everyone leaves the city gate.
Lin Ren reluctantly waved to the leaving girl Ruyu, and then ordered his men to close the city gate until she was no longer visible.
With a creak, the city gate closed again.
Separate from the outside world.
in this way.
This rescue operation was completed very smoothly!
And all this was seen by Qinglong, the Jin Yiwei sent by Ji Gang.
Outside the city gate.
After walking for almost two miles, there was no one around.
Li Xiao ordered the girl in the carriage to be released.
Otherwise, I might be suffocated in a crowded carriage.
"This is...outside Yangzhou City?"
"This is the first time I've walked out of the yard in so many years."
“The air outside is so fresh”
These untouched little girls, who had been raised in the house like piglets and had no idea of the dangers of society, walked out of the carriage one after another.
They felt the breeze, the night, the endless scenery, and the swaying canal in the distance.
From the senses to the vision, this is an unprecedented experience.
The worries that the little girls had just squeezed into the carriage were all gone.
Just now, they were worried about whether this group of people were bad people, whether they would resell them to other places, and whether they would go from one devil's cave to another.
Until Li Xiao released them, no one beat or scolded them and guarded them. They could walk freely and even leave.
However, no one left and everyone followed the team closely.
They know that once they leave, they cannot survive on their own.
"Can we really live a normal life?"
This is the question in the minds of all Yangzhou Shouma.
They walked on the down-to-earth soil, sketching and imagining their future life in their hearts.
The life of ordinary people is so out of reach for them.
Arriving at the pier,
All six hundred girls got on the boat.
Fortunately, Li Xiao used this kind of large cargo ship, which not only had warehouses, but also had many rooms for workers to live in.
In addition, under Zhu Ningyun's arrangement, part of the warehouse was freed up and used as rooms, enough to accommodate 600 people.
Zhu Ningyun had already arranged the warehouse with quilts, daily necessities and other items, which was enough for them to live peacefully on the ship.
"Really, we did it."
Until now, Zhu Ningyun's hanging heart finally settled.
"Yang Fan, set sail!"
Following the order, the ship headed towards Hangzhou.
At this time, the two of them stood on the bow of the boat, enjoying the inner satisfaction and the scenery on both sides of the strait. As the boat moved, the city of Yangzhou gradually moved away.
"Xiaolang, thank you. I just made a request, and you fulfilled it."
Ningyun looked at Li Xiao, feeling extremely grateful.
Li Xiao smiled and said: "May this world be extremely beautiful in your eyes."
Ningyun nodded and said with emotion: "It's a pity that even though we are the children of the royal family, we are helpless in the face of many dirty things in the Ming Dynasty. Even though the emperor's grandfather spent so much effort to get rid of corrupt officials, he still can't stop them all. "
She looked in the direction of the cabin, "We did save 600 women, but there are definitely more than these 600 people in Yangzhou City. This kind of behavior will still exist in the future. We can't save everyone."
Li Xiao was silent.
Yes, they did save a bunch of lucky people.
But there are many more people who are still suffering.
They shouldn't be like this and should enjoy ordinary people's lives.
But reality is always so cruel.
Li Xiao looked at Zhu Ningyun and said seriously: "Ningyun, do you believe it? Maybe the world will become better in the future.
"Everyone can have a good life, have enough food and clothing, and don't have to worry about life. At least, they won't lose their dignity just because of a mouthful of rice or a steamed bun."
"In your spare time, you have a rich spiritual life. Everyone can pursue their dreams and do what they want to do."
Zhu Ningyun said: "Can such a prosperous age really exist?"
Li Xiaodao: "Everything is possible."
Zhu Ningyun looked at Li Xiao quietly, and then nodded.
"Yes, everything is possible. I hope people in the world will no longer suffer."
The next morning.
In the mansion of Shouma Yaxing.
When the nursing staff got up, they discovered something huge.
They didn't understand what happened at all. When he opened his eyes, they were all lying on the ground without exception.
Sent something was wrong!
The head guard in charge of Shouma's tooth shop ran towards the room where Shouma was kept.
When he saw that the room was empty, his face turned pale.
"It's over, it's over"
"Six hundred skinny horses, all escaped"
The leader of the nursing home slumped on the ground with an ashen face.
At this time, other management personnel also came to the yard one after another when it was time to work, and then discovered what happened.
One of them, the general manager of this yard, was so frightened when he saw this scene.
He hurried to his room, thinking that nothing would happen.
But when he entered the office room, he found that all the messy account books in the room were gone, and he was completely panicked.
"It's over, Mr. Lan will definitely be furious."
The shopkeeper was extremely upset, why did he let such a thing happen?
After all these years, there has never been any fork in the up and down dots.
In this Yangzhou City, no matter who they are, even the prefect must bow their head and speak when they see them.
Who would have thought that someone would be so bold as to take advantage of them!
Six hundred skinny horses are worth a lot of money, almost 600,000 taels of silver!
Money is secondary, the key is that it may involve the big shots behind them!
"I'm afraid the only one who can do this and take away the account books is Jin Yiwei."
"Did the Holy Spirit pay attention to this matter?"
"Report this matter to Mr. Lan quickly, maybe there will be a turning point."
Thinking of this,
He immediately wrote a letter to Mr. Lan to report the matter.
Turning around and leaving the room, a man in black with a hooked nose asked: "What should we do with these incompetent nursing homes?"
"If you don't do your job well, you should all die! Kill them all."
"yes!"
Five or six days passed.
Li Xiao's big ship has quickly rushed from Yangzhou to Hangzhou.
The last stop of the journey is about to be completed.
Originally, Zhu Ningyun was worried that the matter would be exposed, so she planned to return to Peiping.
But this worry was soon eliminated.
I thought it would be very difficult to manage the 600 people gathered on this boat.
In the end, I worried too much.
These little girls have been trained to be submissive and will not cause trouble at all.
As long as there is a backbone, everything ordered is almost strictly followed.
And Zhu Ningyun seems to have become the backbone.
In the past few days, Zhu Ningyun got along very well with them. He was gentle and decisive.
For example, during the day, when Zhu Ningyun asked them to go to the room, they all went to the room and never came out.
This would prevent them from being spotted by other boats on the canal.
For another example, Zhu Ningyun asked them to come out for some air at night, and they walked out one after another, almost obeying his words.
When there are more people, more food is needed.
Fortunately, there was a large amount of food and fresh water stored in the cabin. They were given porridge every day, and they had no regrets. They also ate in a very orderly manner, queuing up to get their meals without any confusion.
Yangzhou Slim Horse regards thinness as beauty. It is not just ordinary thinness, it needs to be thin to the extreme, showing a trace of morbid beauty. The skin is white, but it is a morbid whiteness.
They have not seen the sun all day long, and now they cannot see the sun casually, but must do so step by step.
Most of the girls are malnourished and cannot withstand the storm.
After leaving the mansion, it is very windy and humid on the boat, making it easy to get sick.
Fortunately, there is a doctor on the ship. With a miracle doctor like Li Kefang, the disease can almost be cured with medicine.
Li Kefang suggested that these girls need to restore their body bones step by step.
Zhu Ningyun naturally wanted to recuperate their bodies and bones, but it took some effort.
First, drink white porridge, slowly add eggs, and then add minced meat.
These women have almost never eaten meat. Even so, many of them will vomit when they eat meat for the first time.
But with Li Kefang's traditional Chinese medicine treatment, I gradually got better.
For these girls, it is almost visibly visible to the naked eye that their complexions are slowly recovering, and they no longer feel as pale as paper when they first arrived.
"Brother-in-law, these six hundred girls are really picked up for nothing. When the time comes to bring them back to Peking, how do you plan to settle them?" Zhu Gaoxu asked curiously.
"Isn't that simple?"
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, I will open a textile factory when the time comes, and all arrangements will be taken care of."
Zhu Gaoxu was surprised and said: "Brother-in-law, you are a bit evil. The dental shop bought a girl and trained her. The total expenses for a girl cost at least one hundred taels of silver. You picked it up for nothing. You will pay her back in the future." You work for free, it’s a really good deal.”
"Pooh!"
Li Xiao said angrily: "I am here to get rid of harm for the people, save the lost girl from the fire and water, and do good deeds without leaving any name."
"Ah, yes, yes, brother-in-law is right."
Zhu Gaoxu, who had tasted the feeling of making a lot of money, smiled evilly and said: "Brother-in-law, when the time comes to open a textile factory, you must let me take a share."
Li Xiao glanced at him: "Why, you still think you don't earn enough?"
Zhu Gaoxu chuckled and said, "Who thinks it's too much money?"
Li Xiao smiled and said, "Let's talk about it then."
"Okay, let's talk about it then."
Zhu Gaoxu clapped his chin and said, "That's right. There are so many little girls, all so beautiful."
"Why, are you attracted to it?"
Li Xiao joked: "Which one you like, tell your sister, and your sister will arrange it for you immediately."
"Where did you think you were, brother-in-law?"
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said: "I just thought that with so many girls, there are still many soldiers in our army who don't have wives. We can make a couple by then."
Li Xiao was stunned, then smiled and said: "This is a good idea, it really works."
Zhu Gaoxu pointed forward, "Brother-in-law, Suzhou is just ahead!"
Li Xiao nodded slightly and ordered: "Put ten personal guards on the boat to guard against accidents. A few of us will get off the boat and have fun for five days. Then we will go to Hangzhou for five days and then return to Peking!"
Peiping, Prince Yan's Mansion.
Bang——
A loud noise echoed in Prince Yan's Mansion.
The sound is huge and the explosion is extremely powerful!
The craftsmen were so frightened that they fled in all directions and kept retreating.
"What's going on? Why did it explode again?"
Zhu Di looked unkind and glanced at the craftsmen, "It's been so long and I can't even do a small thing well."
The craftsmen lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly at King Yan or speak.
They felt miserable because they had obviously put all their efforts into it, but they just didn't succeed. It was probably because there was something wrong with the design itself.
That's right, since Zhu Di got the blueprint of the pressure cooker, he asked the craftsmen in the house to try to make the pressure cooker.
But even if the craftsmen in the house made a pressure cooker, once it was used, it would not be able to withstand the huge pressure difference inside, and it would explode.
Then the whole pot fell apart and flew into the sky!
Let alone cooking, this is simply life-threatening.
Believably, Zhu Gaosui clearly said that this pressure cooker can speed up cooking several times.
That is, this thing is true, but why can't it succeed?
You know, in order to make this pressure cooker, Zhu Di also invited the best blacksmiths from outside the government to come over and develop it, but it also failed.
Just now, it was the twenty-eighth pressure cooker explosion that Zhu Di had seen.
The best team of blacksmiths can only produce iron that can withstand more than ten minutes before the pressure cooker explodes.
In fact, how did Zhu Di know that the pressure inside the pressure cooker is as high as 2 atmospheres, and ordinary steel cannot withstand this kind of force.
"You're a bunch of losers, thanks to you being a famous craftsman, that's bullshit."
Zhu Di scolded angrily: "Not as talented as my son-in-law. He is just thinking about it, and the things he makes are a hundred times better than these rubbish."
"Okay, okay, my lord, just calm down."
Xu Miaoyun advised from the side: "How can your son-in-law's weird mind be compared to this group of mortals?"
Zhu Di sighed, then looked to the south and murmured: "Son-in-law, when will my good son-in-law come back? I miss him a little!"
In fact, what he was thinking about were Li Xiao's various inventions.
Xu Miaoyun said angrily: "Don't you miss your daughter?"
Only then did Zhu Di realize that he had made a mistake and said hurriedly: "Of course I do, I miss my daughter even more."
If Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui had been present at the scene, they would have burst into tears. Father, Queen, Mother, Queen, and us, have you forgotten us? ? ?
at this time.
A guard came over, holding a letter in his hand.
"But Gao Sui's letter?"
Zhu Di asked hurriedly.
The guard nodded: "It's a letter from the third prince."
"well!"
Zhu Di looked overjoyed and took the letter. What kept him energetic these days was Gao Sui's letter. There might be some new inventions and new theories in it.
Opening the letter and seeing the content above, Zhu Di frowned.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Xu Miaoyun asked.
Zhu Di took out the letter and looked at it together, frowning and saying: "These kids are so careless, they actually went to a dental shop in Yangzhou, robbed 600 women and ran away."
Hear the words.
Xu Miaoyun was also slightly stunned on the spot.
"What happened? He robbed six hundred women?"
