"Robbing six hundred women? Why would they do such an outrageous thing?"
Xu Miaoyun was also a little surprised.
It stands to reason that with the sensible Ningyun here, they should not act nonsense.
But when Xu Miaoyun carefully read the contents of the letter, her expression changed.
"Yangzhou Skinny Horse? These women were sold since childhood, and after being trained well, they were sold to salt merchants and wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou. Most of these women's families gave birth to daughters with signs, and their families were ruined by means! They were sold as a last resort Got a daughter.”
Xu Miaoyun frowned slightly and couldn't help but scolded: "It's unreasonable. This Ming Dynasty still has such a thing, treating buyers and sellers as business."
Most of the people who sold their children and girls to wealthy families did so because of natural and man-made disasters and they really couldn't survive.
But even this was prohibited in the Ming Dynasty, but there were policies and countermeasures. Most people adopted the title of adopted son or daughter instead, and they were actually domestic slaves.
For example, Lan Yu has as many as a thousand adopted sons, who are actually domestic slaves.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the imperial army was very weak and its combat effectiveness was extremely weak. Many generals brought their adopted sons to fight, who were actually servants.
But this kind of blatant human trafficking business is absolutely prohibited.
Zhu Di was also very disgusted. He pointed to the record in the letter and said, "Look, the ending of Yangzhou Skinny Horse is tragic."
When Xu Miaoyun saw the beauty paper and the beauty bowl, she almost vomited, and immediately became extremely angry.
"The south is rich, but those rich people do these unscrupulous things when they have money. It's really abominable."
"Looking at it this way, I think they did the right thing, and it can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue."
After saying that, Xu Miaoyun clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky: "God has the virtue of good life. I hope that this kind of thing will be stopped and will not happen in the Ming Dynasty."
"Hey, my father stopped me like this and still keeps restraining me. It's so difficult."
Zhu Di murmured, and then suddenly thought in his mind, if he were the emperor, could he stop such a thing?
But soon, Zhu Di was shocked by his thoughts.
How could I have such rebellious thoughts?
"Madam, please go back to your room first. There are some letters here. Let's read them together."
"OK."
After speaking, Zhu Di returned to the room with the letter, followed by Xu Miaoyun.
Then the two sat down side by side in front of the desk and cuddled together.
Ever since Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Ningyun and Li Xiao left the mansion, the mansion seemed clean and boring.
At this time, the two of them were having a lot of fun reading the letter together.
Zhu Di took out another piece of letter paper from the envelope.
This piece of paper records that when they take action, they can use a magical headset called a walkie-talkie.
You can talk hundreds of meters apart, share what you need, and share information to ensure unified actions.
This made their rescue operation very smooth.
"Oh my god, there is such a thing in this world, how could it be done!"
Zhu Di was simply shocked beyond measure.
Xu Miaoyun also showed a surprised expression. Both of them were in a daze for a long time.
Xu Miaoyun was the first to break the silence:
"Actually, it's understandable. Didn't the gramophone I brought back from a late night not long ago show the possibility of leaving sounds? I observed the phonograph for a long time and roughly understood the principle. It is to leave traces and repeat Caused by traces.”
Hearing this, Zhu Di looked at Xu Miaoyun in surprise. He didn't expect that his wife could understand some principles, so she was much smarter than him.
However, he still asked strangely: "Then, can you tell me something about the ability to transmit sounds through the air?"
Xu Miaoyun shook her head: "This is a bit unbelievable."
Zhu Di also agreed: "It's really unbelievable. It's like a fairy method. How on earth is it done?"
Xu Miaoyun said: "By the way, Your Majesty, last time you and the master talked together, didn't the master say that this Li Xiao is a person of Su Hui?"
The so-called people with Suhui are those who have reincarnated and come here with the memories of their previous lives.
Zhu Di nodded and said: "Indeed, the master said that this is possible, but I can't understand that even if Lu Ban is alive, it is impossible to create such a thing."
"My lord, do you think there is a possibility?"
Xu Miaoyun expressed the thoughts that she had been holding back and hidden in her heart: "Could it be that Li Xiao is not a wise person from the previous life, but from the future life?"
Zhu Di was slightly confused: "From later generations?"
Xu Miaoyun said: "Yes, through the dynasties, as time goes by, technology changes old and new. Think about it, there was no paper in the Spring and Autumn Period, but now there is printing, paper, and so on. This is all technological progress. . What we cannot understand is probably the continuous advancement of technology. If Li Xiao comes from later generations, then all this will make sense!"
This kind of inference is the result of Xu Miaoyun's hard thinking every day these days.
Especially when I think of the firearm in Li Xiao's hand, this idea becomes even stronger.
Then just now, when Xu Miaoyun saw something that could transmit sound across the air, Xu Miaoyun became even more convinced of her guess.
"The wise man from the hereafter"
hiss!
Zhu Di took a breath and felt that this was really possible!
"Madam, having said that, I can completely understand why Li Xiao can frequently create such magical things, and why his theories are all expressed through the eyes of future generations."
At this time, Zhu Di's eyes couldn't help but widen a bit!
If so, couldn't he ask his son-in-law about the future development trajectory of the Ming Dynasty?
"Your Majesty, I know what you are thinking! See through it without telling it! And this matter is just a guess!"
Xu Miaoyun said seriously: "He is your son-in-law. You must not interfere with what will happen in the future. The master once said that if he reveals the secret he calculated, his life span will be lost and disappear. You don't want your son-in-law to die suddenly and your daughter to be widowed." ?”
I have to say, how smart are Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Di?
Judging from Li Xiao's actions during this period, he was too ahead of his time.
Judging from these clues.
They really have some guesses that Li Xiao comes from later generations!
But as Xu Miaoyun said, some things cannot be asked, they are secrets. If you inquire about the secrets, you will shorten your life, and even change your fortune and distort the future.
"Yes, yes, madam reminded me that I was almost confused."
Zhu Di said with lingering fear: "Master never predicts the fate of us royal family members, because he can calculate the fortune of the Ming Dynasty. It is a secret of heaven, and the secret of heaven cannot be leaked!"
He looked at Xu Miaoyun and said, "Madam is still thoughtful. With Madam here, I can make many correct decisions."
Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "The two of us should keep this speculation in our hearts and never reveal it. Otherwise, it will not be a good thing for Li Xiao, or even Ningyun, Gao Xu, and Gao Sui."
Zhu Di nodded.
Xu Miaoyun continued: "Actually, these are all speculations. They are too unbelievable to be taken as true. Even if. I mean, even if it is true, then Li Xiao loves our daughter deeply, and he will definitely do something to us. Do you think it is a good thing for Prince Yan's Mansion?"
Zhu Di suddenly realized: "Yes, he is my son-in-law. Naturally, he wishes our Yan Palace well. Madam reminds us that we can all understand if Li Xiao does some strange things in the future. In fact, I have already found out that Li Xiao Wanting Ma He to build a big ship with him, I was a little confused at first for this strange move, but now that I think about it, maybe it has some effect, that's all, I don't have to think too much about it."
In fact, Zhu Di couldn't even imagine that everything Li Xiao did was for his use in times of crisis. For example, this big ship was used to cross the Yangtze River!
Xu Miaoyun nodded and asked: "Besides these two letters, is there nothing else about their travels? The purpose of their trip is to go on their honeymoon."
"I, the king, will look for you."
Zhu Di rummaged through the envelope again, and sure enough he found the third page of paper.
Zhu Di took out the paper and began to read what was written on it:
"On February 12, Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun locked hands, went shopping in public in the town, and even took the opportunity to hug Zhu Ningyun's waist."
"On February 13th, Li Xiao shouted I love you to Zhu Ningyun in public."
"On February 14th, Zhu Ningyun stayed in Li Xiao's room for three full hours before coming out."
Ah this
Zhu Di was stunned.
Good guy, Zhu Gaosui really remembers everything, he remembers it in such detail.
Zhu Di held his forehead, thinking that Li Xiao was good at everything, just
Aren't you embarrassed to say I love you in public? ? ?
"Wow!"
However, Zhu Ningyun's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this Li Xiao really loves our daughter. He says I love you in public. Your Majesty, you don't have the courage."
Zhu Di said angrily: "Is love said? Even if I haven't said it, Princess, you should be able to feel my love for you, no one can."
Xu Miaoyun said contemptuously: "If you don't dare, don't dare. Don't say so much."
"Who says I don't dare?"
Zhu Di was slightly dissatisfied: "What's so difficult about this?"
Xu Miaoyun joked: "Then the prince will go outside the door now and shout?"
Ah this
Zhu Di was stunned for a second.
This is completely unexplainable. I am a prince after all, don’t I want to lose face?
Xu Miaoyun snorted and immediately took the letter from Zhu Di's hand to read.
[On the evening of February 15th, at midnight, Zhu Ningyun hurriedly walked out of Li Xiao's room. He must have done something disgraceful in the room, but he did not stay overnight. ]
[On February 20th, Li Xiao taught Zhu Ningyun how to fish. While fishing, he hugged Zhu Ningyun in public, with his chest touching his back.]
[On the evening of March 1, Zhu Ningyun hurriedly escaped from Li Xiao’s room. He was in a panic and his clothes were slightly disheveled.]
Xu Miaoyun smiled with eyes wide open and said "I love you" every day without stopping.
Hug and hug each other often, holding hands and hugging small waists
Judging from these performances, Li Xiao is deeply in love with Zhu Ningyun, and Ningyun is also deeply in love with her.
The two are inseparable and inseparable.
When Xu Miaoyun read the letter carefully, Zhu Di also stretched his head over and glanced at it carefully.
"Huh"
Zhu Di made a puzzled sound: "We haven't gotten married yet, so why are we so disheveled? What about them?"
Xu Miaoyun said angrily: "Which one is it?"
Zhu Di said: "That's it."
Xu Miaoyun: "Even if that's the case, the love is deep. What are you afraid of? Your daughter will get married sooner or later. What are you worried about?"
Zhu Di: "Oh, that's what Madam said."
Nanjing City, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Zhu Yuanzhang was leaning on the dragon table, reviewing memorials in his hands.
Originally, he was in the East Palace every day, but as time went by, it inevitably aroused suspicion.
"Your Majesty, this is the discipline I mentioned to you."
The commander of the Jinyi Guards, Erhu, brought Ji Gang to the imperial study room.
"My emperor bows to Jin'an."
Ji Gang was slightly excited and knelt down on the ground. This was the first time for him to see the current Holy Emperor.
That is to say, he achieved such great honor last time when he was promoted from Deputy Qianhu to Qianhu due to his great achievements.
"I am safe."
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial in his hand, looked at Ji Gang and said, "Are you Ji Gang?"
Ji Gang lay on the ground: "It's Wei Chen."
"Get up."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Things were done well. You found out things that couldn't be found in Dezhou. Is there any progress in Yangzhou?"
"When I turn around, I've already checked everything."
With that said, Ji Gang took out a memorial containing the list of officials and presented it with both hands.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and read the memorial.
It records the name of Yangzhou, the corruption, and the bad business of "Yangzhou Skinny Horse". The relationship network is complicated!
Bang——
Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table, extremely angry in his heart, "Damn it! Such a nasty thing happened, it's shocking! These corrupt officials are really endlessly killing, committing crimes against the wind, and putting me in such a bad place, how can it be unreasonable, how unreasonable!" "
Seeing this, Erhu and Ji Gang prostrated on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, the dragon body is more important."
Zhu Yuanzhang blew his beard, he was really angry.
During this period, I was worried about Zhu Biao's health. I also had to correct many memorials, and I was exhausted both physically and mentally.
Everything he did was to hope that Ming would develop as he imagined.
The people can live and work in peace and contentment, have clothes to wear and food to eat.
But this thing about Yangzhou's thin horse simply treats the people as pigs and dogs. Is this still the Ming Dynasty that overthrew the Baoyuan Dynasty and worked hard to govern it?
"They deserve to be killed, these people deserve to be killed!"
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang once again had murderous intentions. Everyone said that he was cruel. He had never massacred officials on such a large scale in all dynasties.
But it’s hard to understand the cruelty of such an official without killing him!
"Ji Gang, you did a good job. You were able to find out some clues in such a short time."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ji Gang and said, "How should I reward you?"
Ji Gang cupped his hands and said, "It is the responsibility of a humble minister to share the worries of the Holy One. I dare not ask for a reward."
"Hundred gold reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "These Yangzhou officials shouldn't be the only ones who can handle such a big case. Who are the people behind it?"
Ji Gang replied: "After I found out, I came to report as soon as possible. The person behind this is a man called 'Mr. Lan'. Four of my subordinates, led by Qinglong, have gone to Hangzhou. I will rush there soon to find out the matter thoroughly."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Okay, you did a good job, let's get down."
"minister"
Ji Gang thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "I still have something to report."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly: "Say."
Ji Gang then spoke: "Actually, there is another group of people in this investigation who are very powerful. It is because of them that the case can be handled so smoothly."
Next, Ji Gang reported the actions of Li Xiao and others in detail.
Their purpose is to rescue all the thin horses in Yangzhou.
They acted in a unified manner and walked in Yangzhou City without encountering patrolling soldiers. Finally, they safely left the city and escaped by boat.
All actions flow like flowing water and are completed in one go.
Even the most elite troops of Jinyiwei cannot do this.
After listening, Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised and said: "Those who can act like this must be well-trained soldiers. They are so brave. Whose general is this?"
"Return to Your Majesty."
Ji Gang replied: "On that day, the group of people covered their faces and did not reveal their true faces. However, I guess that this person should be Li Xiao, the eldest son-in-law of King Yan who has not yet completed the wedding ceremony."
"My grandson-in-law?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised and said, "How did you determine that this person is Li Xiao?"
Ji Gang said: "Actually, when my subordinates and Lu Zhen were killed in Dezhou, it was Li Xiao who rescued them. Otherwise, my life or death would have been unpredictable. Later, it was the information provided by Li Xiao and others that allowed me to successfully capture Feng Wen." Caught and brought to justice. The people Li Xiao brought are all well-trained soldiers and are very powerful, so I guess it is him."
"Oh, that's interesting."
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed. He didn't expect that his grandson-in-law was such a talented person. This fourth son had really found a good helper for him.
"Huh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said slightly strangely: "Why did Li Xiao come to the south if he doesn't stay in Peiping?"
Ji Gang said: "Your Majesty, I don't know."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and guessed it himself: "He must be secretly traveling south with our granddaughter Zhu Ningyun. No wonder, the bitter cold land in the north is not as prosperous as the south. If we couldn't leave now, we would like to meet them."
After saying that, he looked at Ji Gang and said: "Go to Hangzhou quickly to find out the news about Mr. Lan, and find out all the illegal and disciplinary violations committed by corrupt officials in Hangzhou. I will punish him severely and will never tolerate him!"
at the same time.
Hangzhou West Lake.
Ten days have passed.
Originally, I planned to play for five days and then leave.
But the personal guard sent a message saying that everything on the ship was in order and there was nothing to worry about.
Ever since, everyone planned to play for a few more days.
During these seven days, Li Xiao and others first traveled around Suzhou and had a great time.
First I went to Wuzhen, then to Nanxun Ancient Town, Fuyan Temple, Xitang Town, Hanshan Temple, Lion Forest, Qiandao Lake
After playing for almost seven or eight days, we took a boat trip to Hangzhou.
At this time, everyone was on Yangzhou West Lake, riding a boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the lake.
West Lake is like a precious mirror inlaid with emerald, reflecting the sky, clouds, birds, bridges and mountains.
There are also things to pay attention to when visiting the West Lake.
There is an old saying known to all women and children in Hangzhou:
Sun West Lake is not as good as Night West Lake, and Night West Lake is not as good as Rain West Lake.
God favored them, and when Li Xiao and others were visiting the lake, they caught up with a drizzle.
The hazy drizzle makes the beauty of the West Lake enveloped in hazy beauty.
Li Xiao and Zhu Ningyun stood on the bow of the boat holding an umbrella, quietly enjoying the beautiful scenery.
The boat is rowing, and the drizzle is continuous. Who is holding a small umbrella and half of it is wet.
Wei Jiangxue and Zhu Gaoxu did the same. They imitated Li Xiao and held an umbrella and snuggled together.
Only Zhu Gaosui acted as a light bulb.
"So beautiful, Xiaolang"
Zhu Ningyun couldn't help but be fascinated.
"There is also a poignant love story here." Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
"A poignant love story? How could I not know?" Zhu Ningyun became curious.
Zhu Gaoxu and Wei Jiangxue also came over: "What a love story, please tell me."
Li Xiao then remembered that the Legend of White Snake was a story written in the Qing Dynasty.
Seeing everyone's curiosity, he smiled and started telling stories:
"It is said that a white snake named Bai Suzhen has been practicing for thousands of years just to be the happy god. Bai Suzhen's thousands of years of practice have made her more beautiful than the women in the world, but she came to the world without tears. To collect her tears, she is above the West Lake. She met Xu Xian, a fair scholar."
An hour later.
Several people's eyes were red.
Apparently he was moved by the poignant love in the Legend of White Snake told by Li Xiao.
Encountering Fa Hai, Jinshan Temple was flooded, and Leifeng Pagoda suppressed Bai Suzhen, preventing lovers from meeting each other. Xu Xian shaved his head and became a monk, seeing through the world of mortals. The ending of the story is not happy.
"Asking what love is in the world, it only makes people agree in life and death."
Zhu Ningyun felt sad.
The scene seemed a bit gloomy for a while.
In order to make everyone happy, Li Xiao stood on the bow of the boat, shouted at the top of his lungs: "Ahhhh! Ahhhhh!"
This voice startled everyone.
Sure enough, everyone's attention was attracted, and they all looked at Li Xiao.
“Beautiful West Lake, March day!”
"Spring rain is like wine, Liu Ruyan!"
"If it were a thousand years, there would be good fortune."
"The white heads are united before my eyes."
"If it were a thousand years, there would be good fortune."
"The white heads are united before my eyes."
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!"
It turned out to be singing. Zhu Ningyun looked at Li Xiao with a smile. He thought the song was quite interesting. After listening to it, he felt much brighter.
"Ah, how big is your mother!"
At this time, on another boat on the West Lake, a fierce-looking man walked out of the cabin, pointed at Li Xiao's boat channel, and said viciously: "If you continue to howl like a ghost and disturb Mr. Lan's purity, I will destroy your boat." It’s sinking!!”
Huh?
Sink our ship?
Upon hearing this,
Brothers Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaosui were immediately unhappy.
In the fucking Ming Dynasty, who dared to talk to me like this?
How arrogant! ! !
Zhu Gaoxu was about to have an attack, but Zhu Ningyun stopped him hastily, "Okay Gaoxu, forget it, don't forget, you still have to hide your identity and don't cause trouble."
"snort."
Zhu Gaoxu then gave up and said angrily: "For the sake of eldest sister, let them go, otherwise I will have to sink his ship!"
Zhu Ningyun was worried that Li Xiao was not feeling well, so she pulled Li Xiao and said, "Xiaolang, the song just now was nice, but it was too noisy. Is there a gentler song about the Legend of the White Snake?"
The madam's request must be met, of course. Li Xiao thought about it and realized that it was true. He cleared his throat and started singing:
"Wait a thousand years, wait a while!"
"Wait a thousand years, wait a minute!"
"Who said in your ears that your love for me will never change."
"Just for this one sentence."
"There is no regrets even if your heart is broken."
"The rain will break the heart and the wind will shed tears."
"Dreams are lingering and love lasts forever."
"Dong dong dong dong, dong dong dong dong! (accompaniment)"
"The water of the West Lake is my tears."
"I would like to become a ball of fire with you."
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
Li Xiao didn't expect that this song also had a climax.
But is he afraid of others?
Don’t be afraid, just sing it.
as expected.
The big man on the boat walked out of the cabin again, and at the same time there were more than a dozen big men who walked out. They pointed at Li Xiao's boat and roared: "Fuck you! Drive the boat over and sink their boat." !”
"Come on, you son of a bitch, let's see who sinks whose ship today!"
Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaosui immediately looked at each other angrily, unable to bear it any longer.
And Li Xiao also felt angry in his heart.
The more I think about it, the more I take a step back and get angrier. Why the hell do you have to push it even further? I'm giving you face?
Does it bother you that I sing?
You dare to sink my ship, do you really think I am easy to mess with?
Li Xiao said calmly: "Get ready to start!"
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui laughed loudly and shouted: "I have wanted to fuck them for a long time, just for the sake of his grandma!!!"
The words fell,
Zhu Ningyun did not persuade him any more and took out the soft sword from his waist.
Although she doesn't agree with causing trouble.
But when things happened, Zhu Ningyun was not afraid at all.
The war is about to break out!
