Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 967 Extra Story - Lianbao ([-]): Three Letters and Six Rites to Hire You as a Wife
Lianbao reacted quickly, and said with a street spirit: "You are Lord Qian? I met Shaoyao at the Shaoyao market. She mentioned you and said that you are very enthusiastic. You said that Shaoyao and I..."

He hesitated at this point, turned his head to look at Shao Yao, stopped talking, and looked eager for quick success.

He has been dressed in accordance with the local customs and customs in recent days.

Surprise flashed across Shao Yao's eyes, she raised her head and quickly glanced at Lian Bao, and saw the meaning in Lian Bao's eyes.

She noticed something, and then lowered her head again without speaking.

In Master Qian's eyes, this appearance was the default.

He looked at Shaoyao and then at Lianbao, and suddenly realized: "Oh, you are pairing mandarin ducks, good thing, good thing, hehehehe..."

Lian Bao smiled honestly, feeling very embarrassed.

When Shao Yao heard the word mandarin duck, a red cloud flew up on her face, and said in a low voice, "Master Qian, don't tell my mother."

Master Qian laughed, and readily agreed, and boldly said that if you need help, just go to him.

Lianbao thanked her so much, Master Qian Shi Shiran left.

He whistled to tease the bird in the cage, and walked away leisurely.

When he reached the corner, he looked back and saw Lianbao entered the fence, fetching water for Shaoyao to add water to the chicken feeding tank, and Shaoyao's face was blushing.

Master Qian saw that Lianbao was skillful in cooking, and he couldn't see anything unusual, so he left with deep thought in his eyes.

Lian Bao secretly kept an eye on Master Qian's movements, and only solemnly apologized after he left: "I'm sorry, I offended you so much just now."

Shao Yao shook her head and remained silent, intending to take what Lian Bao was holding.

Lian Bao didn't plan to pay her back, so she thought about it and added: "If your reputation is affected because of this, and your mother blames it, I am willing to bear it all."

Shao Yao smiled and laughed at herself: "It's nothing, I'm just their adopted daughter, they don't care."

Only then did Lianbao realize that Shaoyao was not her own. No wonder that family treated her so badly.

He was a little apologetic, so he simply fetched a few loads of water for her, and rinsed the trough for Shao Yao, who couldn't stop her no matter what.

On the way, Shao Yao said something, which caught Lian Bao's attention.

He asked Shao Yao: "Master Qian asked you to use this garden?"

Shaoyao nodded: "Well, he only charges a small rent, and he even asked my parents to raise chickens. He would come here occasionally."

Lian Bao asked several questions one after another, and was keenly aware of something.

He put down the burden, and simply took a broom to clean the inside and outside of the chicken garden carefully. He even shoveled the chicken manure for peony, but found nothing.

Lianbao believes that there is something wrong with the chicken garden, but due to the presence of Shaoyao and the fact that it is in broad daylight, it is not easy to make a big move.

Had no choice but to leave after cleaning, stunned by Shao Yao, planning to come back at night with the people from the Department of Internal Defense.

From this day on, Lian Bao led the people from the Department of Internal Security to monitor Lord Qian and find out who he was in, while trying every means to investigate the chicken farm.

He suspected that the treasures of the Guo family were hidden in the chicken garden, perhaps buried underground.

But the people from the Department of Internal Health encountered a problem. They searched all over the periphery of the chicken farm, and only the most important chicken house has not been checked. It's not that they don't want to check, but it's very difficult.

At night, the chickens all lay down on the ground in the coop to sleep, without a place to stay.

Lianbao and Neiweisi had headaches, because the hens would crow when they were frightened, and when one crowed, the other chickens would crow too, one after another.

In the dead of night, this kind of movement can spread far, far away, waking up all the people in the alley.

The people from the Internal Welfare Department tried it once at night, stepping into the hen house carefully, and accidentally bumped into a hen, which almost frightened the hen.

Fortunately, Nei Weisi was skilled and courageous, he hugged the hen and flew out while pinching the beak, so that the cock-crowing tragedy did not happen.

Lianbao knew that Mr. Qian had very clever intentions in raising chickens, and raised a flock of chickens that could report news without attracting attention.

In addition to the surrounding environment, the chicken garden is located in a residential area, surrounded by many hidden piles set up by Lord Qian.

If the people around are alarmed, they will be surrounded by all directions, and the thief will sigh three points when they come.

Therefore, Lianbao was more sure that there was a problem with the chicken farm.The hidden treasure is here.

Someone from the Department of Internal Defense offered a suggestion, otherwise, he would just give the chicken sweat medicine.

Lian Bao asked, how did it come down? The chickens were eating in the evening, and someone was there at that time, and they put the medicine in the food.

Some people say that we should not go into the water?
Lianbao said that not every chicken would drink water before entering the chicken coop at night, could it be possible to feed them one by one, it is still uncontrollable.

The people from the Department of Internal Guard were melancholy: "My lord, if you didn't use the beauty trick to take that little lady in. You know the habits of chickens so well, you should be able to chat with that little lady who raises chickens."

Someone immediately scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? When discussing business matters, we discuss business matters. Why did you go to the other side of the sky? Although my lord visits that little lady every day, isn't it all for the case?"

Another person came over knowingly, and immediately said: "Yes, my lord is afraid that we will disturb the chickens. They don't like to lay eggs, so they ask us to buy the little lady's eggs every day, and put them back in the chicken coop at night. Isn't it because you are afraid of arousing the suspicion of the little lady?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the adults rushed to carry water for the little lady, and it was also because of the case."

Everyone couldn't help laughing out loud, with ridicule in their eyes.

Lian Bao's ears were hot, and these boys said everything he said, leaving him speechless.

Everyone laughed for a while, knowing that unless Shao was asked to help Yao, they couldn't think of a good solution.

Lian Bao thought about it, and spent too much time here. Now that the surrounding hidden piles have been investigated, and the whereabouts of the treasure have been roughly figured out, why not call in people and send the money to Grandpa waited for a nest of people.

It's just that he has to go to the garrison camp in person before he can transfer people.

Lian Bao thought it over and over again, and told everyone to guard this place, keep a low profile and don't act too hastily, and hesitated to speak before leaving.

Someone blessed his heart: "My lord wants us to take care of that little lady, don't worry, we have eaten so many eggs from my little lady, and we don't need to tell us what to do."

"That's not true, the little lady is an adult's person, we will protect it."

A group of people followed suit.

Lian Bao only laughed and reprimanded: "Don't insult the girl's reputation."

He didn't deny anything anymore, he had some thoughts in his mind, and he just asked her when he came back.

In the end, Lian Bao solemnly told everyone to be careful, picked two people to accompany them as guards, and then left.

In the next few days, Lian Bao took two guards and rushed to the nearest garrison camp day and night, took out the seals to match, and then hurried back with more than a hundred elite soldiers.

There were a few twists and turns on the way, but in the end the troops were transferred smoothly.

It was already dusk when I returned to the town a few miles away, Lian Bao was thinking whether to kill him straight away, or wait until night to take advantage of his surprise attack.

But at this moment, someone escaped from the town with serious injuries, and bumped into the crowd, as if someone was chasing after him.

Everyone drew their swords to be on guard, Lian Bao looked at him, his complexion changed suddenly, it was a member of the Internal Guard Division, named Da Mao.

He got off his horse and helped him up: "Big Mao, what happened?"

The seriously injured man barely opened his eyes, looked at Lian Bao, and immediately said excitedly: "My lord, hurry up and save the brothers, as well as Miss Shaoyao."

Lian Bao was surprised again: "What happened to her?"

Da Mao gasped and said: "The few days since you left, Miss Shaoyao was sold by her parents to a prostitute as a concubine. Today is the day to raise a concubine. Seeing that you haven't come back, the brothers are afraid that it will be too late to save you. Unexpectedly, the clues were revealed."

A few of them went to stir up the banquet, and the surname Qian saw the problem.

Master Qian pretended to be a peacemaker and coaxed them to drink. They were eager to save people, and they were stunned and locked up, and Da Mao was among them.

It was too late when the left-behind brothers found out that something was wrong, Shao Yao's house and the rented house were surrounded by Master Qian's lackeys.

Master Qian had a hostage in his hand, and the brothers who stayed behind were wary, and the other party had a large number of people, so they were defeated and captured in the end.

Da Mao was rescued by Shao Yao, who went to the prison to wake them up and release them when they were unprepared, but was finally discovered by Lord Qian's people.

Da Mao fought hard and was only able to come out after being seriously injured, while Shao Yao and other brothers were all arrested.

"My lord, go and save people." Da Mao said the last sentence, and he fainted from the white of his eyes.

Lian Bao handed Da Mao to the people beside him: "Take care of him."

He got up and looked towards the town, his whole body was filled with murderous aura, and he uttered two words softly: "Closing the city!"

In a big house in the town.

Master Qian looked at the person in front of him and sighed: "Shaoyao, Shaoyao, I treat your family well, why are you against me for those outsiders?"

Shao Yao was dressed in a pink wedding dress and was tied up by Wu Hua Da, she bowed her head and said nothing.

Master Qian reached out to pick his chin, but Shao Yao stubbornly avoided it.

Master Qian chuckled and said, "Still stubborn." He clamped Shao Yao's chin forcefully and lifted it up.

As he looked at it, he said frivolously: "Tsk tsk tsk, you have such a good-looking figure, you just hid it in the past. Look at this small appearance and this stubbornness, it's delicious enough. It's a pity to give it to that whore .”

He respectfully induced: "Why don't you tell me, who is your little friend, where did you come from, and where is he now? How about I let you go after you tell me?"

Shao Yao looked directly at Master Qian: "My parents made me a concubine to that whore, was it your fault?"

Master Qian couldn't help praising him: "Yo, you're quite smart, otherwise, how could you catch so many people? It's a pity, your little friend is missing, otherwise we would have caught them all!"

Speaking of this, Lord Qian lost his patience, let go of people viciously, turned around and said: "Catch those people, they will be punished and carefully interrogated, I want to see which god dares to covet my Lord Qian s things!"

It's also strange that Lianbao and the others pretended to be too much like people in the green forest. Master Qian thought it was black and white, so he didn't plan to run away, but wanted to take Lianbao with confidence.

It's even more strange that Lord Qian is too conceited. After the Guo family collapsed, he led people to hide well. After a few years of stable life, he thought he was safe, and his vigilance was much relaxed than before.

When someone reported that the gate of the city was sealed and a large group of elite soldiers came rushing here, Master Qian was so shocked that he shattered the teacup in his hand.

His complexion changed drastically: "Oh no, it's from the imperial court!"

The smile that always hung on Master Qian's face finally disappeared, and people began to pack up and retreat in a panic.

But the gates of the city were sealed, so where could they escape.

Master Qian was heartbroken, and ordered the brothers to be broken up into pieces and scattered to each household, and any household who dared to talk too much would be slaughtered on the spot.

A group of thieves immediately scattered around after copying the guy.

Master Qian knew that he was too eye-catching, and it might be difficult to escape, so he took a few people and held Shao Yao to find a place to hide first, and if he couldn't hide, he would use Shao Yao's life in exchange for a way out.

Shao Yao, who was being detained, let out a vicious pooh: "You guys can't escape, so just capture them with nothing."

Master Qian slapped her across the face: "Bitch, if I can't escape, I will be the first to kill you."

He blocked Shao Yao's mouth, pulled her by the shoulders and said to the left and right: "Let's go!"

Unexpectedly, the gangsters who had just left came back quickly, and a large group of people ran back in panic, and the scene was chaotic.

A few people ran ahead and shouted: "Master Qian, it's too late, the officers and soldiers have surrounded the alleyway, we can't get out, what should we do?!"

Some people yelled "Protect Master Qian" and rushed straight over, scattering all the people guarding him around Master Qian.

In the chaos, those people quickly surrounded Master Qian.

Master Qian felt that the faces of these people were a little strange, and there seemed to be something wrong, but he had no time to think about it under the urgent situation.

While tugging at the life-saving straw peony, he said anxiously: "Hurry up, take those people who are arrested, and the people around you, and take them all as hostages. The more the better, hurry up, go!"

Master Qian urged him one after another, but found that the person who came to protect him couldn't move.

His pupils shrank, the hairs all over his body stood up, and a bone-chilling chill crept up his spine.

The person who just shouted to protect him put a dagger on his waist.

The man raised his head, and a deep voice came: "The Department of Internal Security handles the case and releases everyone, otherwise they will be shot."

Master Qian's head boomed, and he recognized the person in front of him, who was the lover he was looking for.

As night fell, all of Mr. Qian's people disappeared, and they were all arrested and brought to justice.

Compared with the regular army, this group of mobs would undoubtedly strike a stone with an egg, especially with the golden-eyed Lianbao, they only need to take a look at them to identify them, even the bandits who hide deep among the common people can be found out.

In the center of Lord Qian's house, a group of people from the Nei Wei Division were lying or sitting in disorder. They were all rescued, but they suffered a serious crime, and their skin was torn to pieces during the interrogation.

When the doctor gave them the medicine, they showed their teeth while bragging about how brave they were, which was ridiculous in any way.

Someone had a bruised nose and a swollen face, gasping for breath and screaming for pain. He still did not forget to tease Lian Bao: "My lord is not good at martial arts, but your lord is wise. He dared to pretend to be a gangster to disturb the morale of the army, and frightened those little bastards to the ground. Run back, hahaha."

The other person's leg was broken, and when he put on the splint, he shouted "light, light", and immediately echoed this: "That's right, my lord is so angry that he is a beauty, and he rushed to save Shaoyao at the risk of his life. Girl, you are courageous and resourceful!"

"What nonsense, Miss Shaoyao was arrested to save us, the Lord saved her to repay us."

"How to repay her kindness, Miss Shaoyao is a citizen, we are soldiers, and it is our duty to save her."

"Then what should we do, we can't repay Miss Shaoyao's kindness."

"You're stupid, why don't you just ask the adults to promise you with your body?"

A group of people roared with laughter, they sang together and put Lianbao and Shaoyao on the shelf, without any fear of having just escaped from danger.

"They are as good as they are, don't pay attention to them." Lian Bao looked at Shao Yao's swollen face, and took the ointment to apply on her.

Shao Yao blushed to her ears, she shook her head and said nothing, trying to get the ointment, but she couldn't grab Lian Bao.

Seeing everyone laughed again and again.

Seeing that it was too noisy, Lian Bao simply dragged the person away to find a quiet place, and finally it was quiet.

He carefully applied the ointment on the peony and asked, "How do you know them?"

Lianbao refers to how Shaoyao would think of saving Da Mao and the others.

Shao Yao glanced elsewhere, her heart beating fast.

She said: "You guys go around the chicken coop every day, and then you go to my place to buy eggs every day, and the next morning the eggs are put back into the nest, and I will know after coming and going."

Lian Bao laughed, it turned out that they did not hide Shao Yao's every move.

He finished rubbing the medicine, his eyes lingered a little, but he forced himself to look away.

He put the ointment together and put it away, and said: "It's finished. Your adoptive parents sold you to someone else as a concubine for 100 taels of silver. I got the deed of sale back. What are your plans in the future?"

As he spoke, he took out the contract of sale from his arms and handed it over.

Shao Yao took it, her eyes suddenly dimmed.

She knew this would be the result, but she couldn't help being sad when she heard that she was betrayed.

With tears in her eyes, she raised her eyes and smiled: "That's fine, I've returned all the bentos from before, and there will be nothing more to do with it from now on."

Lian Bao was shaken by her bright smile, and he asked, "Would you like to come with me?"

Shao Yao looked at his serious eyes, her heart skipped a beat, but she suddenly came to her senses and shook her head firmly: "I will not be a concubine."

If it weren't for her adoptive parents to oppress her, she would not be a concubine no matter how hard it is.

Lian Bao was startled, then remembered the words 'Hired as a wife, Ben as a concubine', Zhi Shaoyao misunderstood.

He smiled slowly, like the spring breeze: "Well, I won't do it. I would like three letters and six ceremonies, eight lifts of the sedan chair, and the bright matchmaker is marrying you. What do you think?
