Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 860
Seeing Lu Ruomei fainting in front of him, Wang Tong sighed, and arranged for the maid who served Zhai Xiuer to come and carry her to Zhai Xiuer's side for recuperation.

Knowing that there might be an ambush on the way, Wang Tong also had to deal with it cautiously. On the one hand, he arranged for people to go to the Yamen of the prefect of Suzhou to gather guards, and at the same time, he abandoned the ship and landed on the Suzhou side, preparing to travel by land.

Although it is in the south of the Yangtze River, Suzhou is so rich that it is really easy to mobilize chariots and horses, not to mention the assistance of the local Sanjiang trading company. Monk Puyuan led his personal guards to clean up the temple.

Here and there are the imperial envoys investigating the case, they are clearly the evil stars who came to kill people, everyone is serving with trepidation, not daring to show any disobedience.

Wang Tong and others waited on the boat, and disembarked after the carriages and horses were fully prepared. Although it was quick, they had to stay in Wu County for one night before they could leave. It has won a lot, and it is really very lively. According to the words of the guards, this kind of bustling and lively, I am afraid that the Tianjin Guards can't match it.

The southeast is prosperous and has been prosperous for thousands of years. Suzhou is the most prosperous and the most quintessential central place, so it is naturally extraordinary.

Most of the soldiers watched happily, but Shi Qi, Liu Sanlang, Wu Er and others were a little irritable, because there were too many people coming and going on the pier, even if there were some people who were watching and prying. If you can't find it, there are many hidden dangers.

The imperial envoy said that the road along the road might not be peaceful, and the Suzhou government had to send someone to escort it. The Suzhou officials did not dare to be negligent, and they also sent a group of soldiers to guard around Wang Tong's boat. What to do, it's actually quite quiet and peaceful.

When it was getting dark, the chariots and horses had already arrived, and Wang Tong's personal guards and people from Suzhou Mansion worked together to move the things on the boat to the chariots.

The things related to daily life are very simple. On the contrary, even though Zhai Xiu'er just stayed on the boat for a few days, she has a lot of things, and she used a large cart by herself.

Now that it was getting dark, Wang Tong didn't want to live in an inn in the city, but settled on a boat. The Suzhou government sent cooks from restaurants in the city to set up a few tables of banquets, and arranged for a few officials to accompany them. .

Wang Tong didn't drink, and he also felt very awkward at this time. He was clearly in the hinterland of Daming, but he seemed to be walking in the enemy's country, so he had to be careful at all times.

"Master Hou, please see Miss Lu!"

Wang Tong was wiping the blunderbuss with a velvet cloth, but he heard a servant girl outside reporting there. The servant girl is naturally Wang Tong's servant girl, always acting like a servant.

This Miss Lu is Lu Ruomei, but this request to see her is too unconventional, Wang Tong is surprised, although Lu Ruomei is a girl, she acts swiftly and never considers herself a girl, why is she now reserved.

But since this kind of announcement, it is natural to pay attention to the defense between men and women, Wang Tong waved his hand, signaling to several people in the room to avoid, and then asked Lu Ruomei to come in.

There are lanterns hanging in the room, quite bright, when Lu Ruomei came in, Wang Tong felt that the room was brighter, Lu Ruomei, who was always dressed in men's clothes, was actually wearing women's clothes tonight.

This women's attire is not a gorgeous palace attire, it should be the attire of a middle-class female family member. Tall, wearing this bijiaru skirt, gives people a very refreshing and pretty feeling.

She could be regarded as a beautiful woman, but under the lamp, she became even more beautiful. Wang Tong sized her up a few times and nodded approvingly. Lu Ruomei, who has always been plain, added some light makeup at this time, and she was a little charming.

A girl who doesn't pay much attention to dressing up suddenly puts her heart into dressing up so that people can see it. It's always pleasing to the eye. Wang Tong doesn't have any other ideas. Lu Ruomei closed the door gracefully, walked into the room, and offered Wanfu in front of Wang Tong. However, the movement is a little crooked and stiff.

Pretending to be a boy for a long time, it is not proficient to act like this kind of woman. Wang Tong knew that Lu Ruomei didn't know the news of her mother's sudden death until noon. Smiling and shaking her head, Lu Ruomei nearly collapsed at noon, and it was really strange that she recovered so quickly at night.

Looking carefully between Lu Ruomei's eyebrows and eyes, you can still see the traces of crying. What is this for? Wang Tong is a little confused. Lu Ruomei saw Wang Tong's smile there, and his movements became even more nervous. Gritting his teeth, he knelt down again like Bai Rijian.

"Imperial Envoy Grand Master, I beg the Grand Master to avenge Minnv's mother and the whole family!!"

Wang Tong sighed and said:
"The Suzhou government doesn't have much room to reach out. If you want to catch the murderer, you can call, but it's hard to say whether the Suzhou government will do it with heart."

"The murderer can't be found, but the person who instigated it is known to be the Xu family. Minnv's father, uncle, and mother all died because of Xu's family. The displacement of Minnv and her late mother for more than ten years is also because of Xu. Family, ask the elder to avenge the daughter of the people, and seek justice for the daughter of the people from the Xu family."

The atmosphere returned to the noon state again, Wang Tong shook his head, and said in a deep voice:
"To tell you the truth, it is very difficult to investigate the Xu family. The one who is most likely to shake the Xu family right now is the disciple of Monk Puyuan. But even if all the facts are confirmed, the Xu family can still hand over the scapegoat, or use other means to deny it. .”

What Wang Tong said was the truth, but in this situation, what Lu Ruomei heard was an excuse and an excuse. Lu Ruomei looked up at Wang Tong, bit her lower lip, stood up, and said:
"If the elder avenges the daughter of the people, the daughter of the people is willing to promise her body to serve the elder like a cow or a horse."

Lu Ruomei gritted her teeth and said these words, but Wang Tong was stunned. In this era, even in the last era, no one would say anything in front of her. It's all in the drama, I didn't expect it to happen to me.

There were a few coughs outside the cabin, as usual, the guards were on duty outside, but Lu Ruomei's voice was too loud to be heard clearly outside, and Chen Dahe yelled loudly there:

"Go to patrol other ships, don't stand there dead!"

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, everyone hurriedly left, Lu Ruomei's face turned red, as if she was about to bleed, Wang Tong didn't know what to say for a while.

After all, Lu Ruomei was a girl, and she was extremely ashamed to make such an act of recommending a pillow in front of others. Seeing that Wang Tong didn't respond, she couldn't stop crying. Although she was crying, she didn't stop her movements. Take off the bijia and untie the skirt
"stop!!"

Wang Tong shouted there, and patted his forehead with his hand, he really couldn't laugh or cry, Wang Tong had never been so nervous before facing the army of Tartars, but now he felt a little at a loss, the pressure was really not small.

Being stopped by Wang Tong, Lu Ruomei didn't know how to continue, so she stopped. Wang Tong patted the coffee table beside him, pointed in another direction and said:
"It's 10 taels. No. Miss Zhai taught you?"

Ever since Lu Da told the story about Zhai Xiuer being redeemed with 10 taels, Wang Tong used to call it that. When asked by Wang Tong, Lu Ruomei lowered his head and nodded with subtle movements. I was doing it with the support of my breath, but now my mind is clear, but I am shy, ashamed, and at a loss.

Wang Tong sighed, thinking that Zhai Xiu'er looked at Wen Wenjing, a lot of ideas, and this Lu Ruomei has a ruthless and decisive temper, so she doesn't know what will happen if she makes a fuss together, Wang Tong Qingqing voice, solemnly said:

"You don't have to do these useless things. This Marquis tells you that if you can find out and handle this case, you will definitely try your best to do it, and you won't hide your secrets and cheat. I can't promise what the result will be!"

Wang Tong's words seemed to be vague, but in fact he had already made a promise. In the past, officials and officials would protect each other when investigating the Xu family, and Wang Tong would not do this.

When Lu Ruomei heard this, her expression returned to normal, she knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and said in a low voice:
"The great lord's kindness and virtue, the little girl is willing to smash her body to pieces, and hold the grass to connect with the ring"

"It's easier to understand if you talk about being a cow and a horse. You go down and rest. You are in a turbulent mood today. Go back to sleep. If you want to eat something, let others sell it for you. It's up to Ben Hou to handle the case!"

Wang Tong waved his hand with a wry smile, and raised his voice to say hello, but a maid came in from outside, and just as the maid was about to salute, Wang Tong said:
"Go back and talk to Di Xiu'er, be honest, don't make trouble, do you think it's fun?"

The servant girl knelt on the ground in fear and fear, not daring to speak.

************
Stopped at Wuxian Wharf for one night, Wang Tong and others rode horses and rode off on the second day. Before leaving, a group of people from the prefect of Suzhou came to see them off. Wang Tong didn't say any polite words, but said:
"Suzhou Mansion, the old woman in Yugan Lane didn't hang herself, but someone murdered her. When I return from Songjiang, you have to give me an explanation. Otherwise, I'll give you Wusha and Rentou an explanation!"

After saying this, he greeted him and left. Wang Tong walked not far away. The Suzhou magistrate slapped the chief arrester of Suzhou twice, scolded the general judge of Suzhou, and the county magistrate of Wu County, and repeated what Wang Tong had just said to them. , the area around Suzhou Fucheng immediately became tense and busy.

After walking for half a day, they had to rest in Qiandun Town for one night before entering Songjiang Mansion. Wang Tong and his team found an inn on the edge of the town to stay. Before settling down, Wang Tong said to his subordinates:

"If you want to stop us, I'm afraid it will be tonight!"
