C297 The past

Ma Yuxiao suddenly changed her attitude and sighed, "Little sister Littleflower, there is something you don't know. Actually, we rarely talk. We only talked a little more when we saw you."

Huang Yinhua smiled and said, "That's not good. I will spend more time in the future. I will reluctantly say more words to make it lively, so as to avoid making everyone feel uncomfortable."

Maybe it was in this public place, or maybe it was because she saw Yao Huilu and Hao Liping, two outsiders, there. She saw that although Huang Yinhua spoke a little modestly, she was not taught. Wen Wenya did not comment as if it had nothing to do with her. Looh Miaoer and Ma Yuxiao also looked at each other helplessly. For a moment, it was not good to say anything more.

Du Qi saw that although Looh Miaoer, Ma Yuxiao and Huang Yinhua's words were not sharp, they still contained some resentment and unwillingness to accept the lesson. If this continued, it would definitely be a headache. Not long ago, he had thought about how to make them get along without hurting anyone. Now there was suddenly another person. This question became more urgent, but at this moment, it was not convenient to discuss how to deal with it. Du Qi could only take advantage of the gap between their words and turn the topic to the side. However, he coincidentally stopped Huang Yinhua and heard him ask somewhat casually, "Lord Yao, Lord Hao, what business do you have in the capital?"

Huang Yinhua saw that Looh Miaoer, Ma Yuxiao and Wen Wenya were silent for a moment and the smile on her face could not help but deepen. She did not conceal the pride of a victor and looked at Looh Miaoer, Ma Yuxiao and Wen Wenya with eyes filled with contempt. As she smiled sweetly and was about to speak, she suddenly heard Du Qi's words. She quickly swallowed the words that she wanted to say. At this moment, even if she had thousands of urgent matters and all sorts of reasons, she did not dare to argue with Du Qi. Moreover, she pretended to be interested and quietly listened to Du Qi's words.

Yao Huilu and Hao Liping looked at each other. Yao Huilu coughed. He cleared his throat and sighed. "Ai! It's a long story. It should be a few days after meeting young master. Suddenly, a group of imperial guards and several experts from the forbidden courtyard came to our Great Ye County and brought over a ferocious pirate. As they had other matters to attend to, they locked the pirate in our county's jail. They also ordered our county office to send people to escort him to the capital. In our Da Ye County, us two brothers are the most capable officials. Thus, the heavy responsibility of escorting that pirate was placed on the two of us."

Du Qi sighed with emotion, "Bringing a prisoner to a long journey is a complicated and tedious task!"

Hao Liping rushed to say, "Although this matter is a bit tiring, the subsidy is very generous. Sometimes there is unexpected foreign water, and it does not offend people. People in our line of work do not fight to detain prisoners!"

Yao Huilu agreed and said, "Yes, after the two of us fought for the job of escorting that pirate into the capital, we were really happy for a few days. Before we left, we even specially invited our colleagues and superiors to celebrate."

Du Qi said, "Since that is the case, how could the two of you..."

Yao Huilu and Hao Liping looked at each other again, seeming somewhat angry and helpless. Yao Huilu forced a smile. He seemed to be in a hurry as he grabbed the meat patty that a waiter had just brought over and took a bite. He said vaguely, "Young Master, you don't have to keep it a secret. There are two sides to everything. The good job that we fought so hard for finally became bad, bad, and bad. That is why we have fallen to this stage. "

Du Qi said, "Oh? What is going on? "

Hao Liping said, "That pirate is actually a very good person. Not to mention his ability. With his ability, he naturally has many chances to escape along the way. But in order to not implicate us, he would rather risk being beheaded to accompany us into the capital. Thus, along the way, we did not guard against him at all and accompanied him on a sightseeing tour. It didn't seem like he was escorting a prisoner at all, but like he was playing with his friends."

Huang Yinhua said, "The two of you are really stupid. Who would tell the truth in front of your public servant? Did he run away? Did the two of you end up like this because you were unable to report to him? "

Yao Huilu said," Miss has wronged him. We have been walking slower and slower as we entered the capital. However, we did not stop. The two of us could not bear to walk too slowly. We did not want to bring him into the capital. But we didn't dare to let him go. That man insisted on moving forward so we could report to him as soon as possible. Then he thought of a way to escape. Although he disappeared in the end, it wasn't his intention to escape."

Huang Yinhua said," The more you speak, the more confused I become. Since he disappeared, what else could it be if he did not escape? "

Yao Huilu seemed to be a little sad as he blamed himself, "This is all because we did not have the ability to implicate him! Sigh! "

Hao Liping continued, "About a month ago, we were about to reach the capital. When we passed by a forest, six people suddenly came out. We recognized four of them as the bullies of the Yangtze River, and two of them had a grudge against us brothers. Once they came out, they charged towards us without any explanation. They are obviously here to kill us brothers. When that person saw that the situation was not good, he also charged towards those people. Without saying anything, he fought with them, but we were unable to help. He could only stand by the side and worry. That person was indeed impressive. Even when fighting against the five of them, he had both offense and defense. However, when he saw the other person pouncing towards us two brothers, that person could not help but feel anxious. He told us to be careful while rushing back to save us. In the end, in order to protect us... Although he killed all six of them, he himself was also seriously injured. "

Yao Huilu said, "If he died, we could still report to him, but we were worried when we saw that he was injured and unconscious. Why is that? It's because we were friends with him and treated him as a friend! At that time, we hurriedly found a donkey cart and pulled him to the nearest Great Western Village in the forest. We found the most famous local gentleman to treat him, but three days passed in a row. His injuries didn't improve at all, and he's still unconscious."

After a pause, Yao Huilu continued, "Just as we were in a hurry, a merchant group happened to pass by Great Western Village and went to the capital. While they were resting and chatting, the people in the manor knew that there was a very good doctor in the merchant group. A warm-hearted person told us about this, and we were naturally overjoyed. It was not easy to invite the mister from the merchant group to treat his injuries. Although the mister said that he wasn't confident, after applying medicine and injecting needles, by the time it was dark, his injuries had finally gotten better. We were also relieved, and we could not help but fall into a deep sleep in our sleepy rooms. By the time we woke up the next day, the merchant group had already left, and that person was nowhere to be seen. "
