When Dongfang Ying heard that she actually asked to go with him, she almost thought that she had heard wrong. Then she thought that there were more and more people around her, and it seemed that there were more and more burdens on her. If this continued, it would take the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to reach Jinling. , Complete the task assigned by Master?
She couldn't help but asked in confusion:
"Sister Gan, I think that although you are not well-off, you are at least well-fed. Why bother wandering around with us? Where are you wandering?"
Gan Taoxian took out her silk scarf and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said sadly:
"To tell you the truth, my sister was sold here by someone when she was thirteen. By that time, my sister had become sensible and remembered the situation of her hometown and relatives. She missed her day and night for the past ten years, hoping to return to her hometown and see her parents again.
"If I could get my wish, let alone wandering around the world. She has gone through all kinds of hardships, but my sister has no regrets..."
Seeing her miserable expression and sincere words, Dongfang Ying couldn't help but feel sad, thinking of her own life experience and heart. He softened immediately and said:
"Sister, there is no need to be sad. If my little sister can help, I should do my best.
"Do you want to follow us out of Leizhou City and go back to your hometown to find your relatives? Then where is your hometown?"
Gan Taoxian turned from sadness to joy and said with an expression:
p>
"Is my sister really willing to take me away from here?
"I remember that my hometown is Guanxiazhuang, Zhenghe County, Jianning. Maybe my sister can pass there by taking the Fujian-Zhejiang land route. .
"Sister, I have nothing else to ask for. I only need to stay for one day, check whether my family is still alive, and take a look at the landscape of my childhood, and I will be satisfied."
Dongfang Ying misses her deeply. He couldn't bear to reject her because of his affection for her, and said in deep thought:
"I originally planned to go through Jiangxi and enter the Ganjiang River by water, so I could go north via Fujian instead. It would not be less than two days' journey.
"My little sister can escort her sister back to her hometown. Will you come back in the future?" "
Gan Taoxian shook his head and said:
"This is not a place I want to live in. I actually saved some money and jewelry secretly, thinking about redeeming myself, renouncing my nationality, becoming a good person, and leaving this unbearable place. venue.
"It's just that the ransom is still short. I'm afraid Mother Wang won't let him go. Now that I meet the heroine sister, maybe she can successfully redeem her body deed..."
Dongfang Ying looked back at the old bustard and understood what Gan Taoxian meant. She immediately drew out her long sword and pointed it at the old bustard's cheek, saying:
"Old lady, my sister Gan wants to get back her things... who is she?" "Deed, hurry up and get it and return it to her."
Although the old bustard was panicked, he couldn't bear to lose the money tree of Gan Taoxian, so he immediately gritted his teeth and said:
"Xian... fairy girl, you. I don’t know, but I spent a lot of money to take Gan Yatou into the house.Come...
"In the past ten years, I have taught talents, food and clothing, and the expenses have been countless. If the heroine just took her away like this, she might as well kill her with a sword. Forget it..."
Dongfang Ying said angrily:
"Kill him, just kill him. I want to get rid of you, a thief, so as not to harm more sisters in the future. !"
The old bustard beat the ground and howled:
"It is so cruel and cruel that there is such a robbing female robber in the world, who forcibly cuts off people's wealth, no! It makes people live, my God..."
Dongfang Ying, Lu Qiuying and others couldn't help but laugh and cry when they saw the old bustard crying like this.
Gan Taoxian was busy. He persuaded her:
"Sister, you don't have to force her, I'll tell Mother Wang."
"Mom, I know the rules in this industry, and I also remember how you have treated her in the past ten years. My cultivation and care, Xiao Tao Fairy is not an ungrateful person, I will give you the ransom.
"It's just that I have made a lot of money for you over the years. The redemption price you offer me should be more reasonable, okay?"
The old madam was reluctant to part with it. Of course it was silver. He immediately rolled his eyes, held out five fingers and said:
"I said I wanted six thousand taels before. My mother is also a conscientious person. Now I will suffer a little loss. Five thousand taels will be enough." That's enough."
Lu Qiuying and Qi Donghua shouted with wide eyes:
"Five thousand taels?"
"Sister Taoxian, she is blackmailing, don't give it to her!"
Dongfang Ying even cut off a Taishi chair with a sword and said angrily:
"What's the need? So much? How much can be redeemed?"
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
Gan Tao Three hundred taels of silver, even if you give me 200 taels of investment and expenses every year for the past ten years, the full amount will only be 2,300 taels.
"I won't count the other bits and pieces. I have saved more than two thousand taels now. I will keep some food money for myself, and I will give you the whole two thousand taels. Can you return the deed to me? "
The old bustard shook his head like a rattle:
"How can that happen? You could have earned me another ten or twenty years, but you gave up your career so early and turned to good deeds. Mom, all my hard work has been in vain..."
Dongfang Ying became very angry after hearing this. He cut off one of her ears with a sword and said angrily:
"Only two thousand taels, if you are too greedy, I will cut off your legs!" "
The old bustard screamed like a pig in pain. Thinking that this little ancestor was really murderous and ruthless, he did not dare to bargain anymore and cried in mourning.He nodded in agreement with an old face.
Dongfang Ying immediately asked her to send a turtle slave to get the body deed, and the madam had no choice but to do so.
Then Dongfang Ying poured cold water on Magistrate Cai to wake him up. According to Gan Taoxian's plan, she briefly explained the current situation to him and proposed that both parties cooperate to deal with the "second in command" Tongzhi and Zhu Lianzongwen. The chief arrester and others.
Although Magistrate Cai hated Dongfang Ying deeply, he was not stupid. He knew that at this moment, he had become a hostage to be slaughtered, and his political opponents and people who were dissatisfied with what he had done were also I wish I had died unexpectedly;
If I didn’t seek self-rescue, I would really die without a burial place.
The origin of this "female bandit leader" is actually based on Xu Wen's admiral's one-sided statement that General Yi was recruiting talents. There is no definite evidence.
What's more, based on folk rumors and common people Judging from word of mouth, "White Horse Red Scarf" is actually a heroine who annihilates bandits and saves people. If she can be recruited under her command, it will be a great help to improve her prestige.
When the time comes, he can win over her and give her big rewards, so that she can work for him and become a knife in his hand. Isn’t it easy to get rid of a mere regimental leader?
Wouldn't it be even more wonderful if this little beauty with superb martial arts skills could serve as the leader of the government's personal soldiers, replacing An Baihu's position, and protecting herself personally?
Thoughts were whirling in Magistrate Cai’s mind, and he was already imagining the beautiful scene. He couldn’t help but smile and murmured:
“That’s great. Little Beauty of the East... Oh no, Heroine of the East, your idea is really the same as mine, that... hero has the same idea!
"As long as you repent. , surrender to the government, then I must be very open-minded and ignore the past grudges...
"Well, as long as I return to the government office safely, I will immediately order the withdrawal of the wanted list for you and recruit you. The heroine is the Chief of Haikang of Leizhou Prefecture and the chief patrol officer of Leizhou Prefecture.
"How about Dongfang Nuxia? I have great respect for you and my favor. Are you still satisfied? "
Dongfang Ying said calmly:
"Dongfang Ying thanks the prefect for your respect, so please ask the prefect to move outside the room now and explain to Mr. Zhu Lian situation, please ask him to retreat! "
Magistrate Cai nodded. Unfortunately, after a night of toil, his whole body was already limp. In addition, the stab wounds on his legs had not healed, so how could he still stand up?
Dongfang Ying had no choice but to He went over to pick him up and helped him out of the house.
Magistrate Cai looked at the crowd of soldiers downstairs and Mr. Zhu Lian, who was parading on horseback, and couldn't help but feel secretly in his heart. He scolded General Zhu Lian for being self-respecting and disobeying orders.
He actually did not help defend the government office before, but instead sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight. This caused heavy losses to the government officials and guards, and even more to the dignified prefect. in dangerterritory.
When I fall into the hands of the female bandit, you will bring your own troops to add fuel to the flames. You are obviously going to kill me with a borrowed knife and kill me.
Damn it, when I get over this, I won’t uproot you, confiscate your property, and seize this regiment for training!
He yelled with hatred and anger:
"Brother Zhu Lian, I am here drinking with a few girls to admire the moon. Why did you mobilize the troops and disturb me?" Yaxing! What's the point? Why don't you retreat quickly?"
Mr. Zhu Lian, who was confident in his position in front of the building, saw Magistrate Cai and Dongfang Ying standing side by side, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard what he said. A random voice said:
"Your Excellency Rong Bing, I was asked for help by a Yamen servant. It was said that Your Excellency was held hostage in the Suxiang Pavilion by the female bandit leader White Horse Red Scarf, and his life was in danger, so he rushed to rescue him. < /p>
"The woman beside you right now is the female bandit leader White Horse Red Scarf. Were you coerced by her to make such an insincere excuse? "
Magistrate Cai stuck his head out and said loudly:
"What are you talking about? Does it look like I'm being coerced?
"What's more, the so-called female bandit leader wearing a white horse and a red scarf is a thing of the past, and will never be mentioned again.
"At this moment, the Eastern heroine has sincerely surrendered to the government, and for Serving the imperial court and asking for orders for the people are the pillars of the country and the confidants of the government.
"Brother Zhu, there is no need to worry about others, just do what you have to do."
