Su Jin didn't want to stay in Yangzhou Mansion for a moment, although there were still ten days before the New Year, but once he moved the idea of returning to Yangzhou, he immediately returned to his heart like an arrow, and he couldn't wait to set off immediately.

Of course, there is also vanity at work, wealth does not return to the hometown, such as a night walk in clothes! The overlords of Chu hundreds of years ago inevitably had the heart to show off, let alone Su Jin; In the next life, he is a dick man, and there is no good opportunity to show off, how can he miss it in this life.

But before leaving, there are a few things that need to be arranged; Ouyang Xiu has made it clear that he will pass by Huainan this New Year, and he does not plan to return to the capital, Su Jin had expected him to be like this, he has several cases to deal with, one is Zhu Shiyong's revelation of the news to the bandits, and the other is the Huainan Road transfer envoy Wang Qinian told Su Jin secretly.

The former is not busy, although Chen Laogen has it in hand, but the evidence is slightly insufficient, and it needs to be collected slowly; And Su Jin's case is his primary responsibility for coming to Huainan Road, he has been in Yangzhou for several days, and has been busy with the case of Yangzhou officials, so he didn't start to investigate it at all; If you just go back to Beijing like this, it is obviously a little unreasonable.

A few days ago, Ouyang Xiu sent someone to invite the transfer envoy to Yangzhou, but for some reason, Wang Qinian has not arrived yet, Ouyang Xiu decided to go directly to the door, Wang Qinian still has a personal certificate in his hand, that is, the little leader of the bandits in Bagong Mountain is called Da Lao Wang, it is this person's confession that is extremely unfavorable to Su Jin, Ouyang Xiu naturally wants to interrogate this person and find out the facts.

Ouyang Xiu originally wanted to take Su Jin to Shouzhou together, but he felt that it was very inappropriate, it was Su Jin who was checked, and there was no reason to check in front of him, which would cause Wang Qinian to be extremely suspicious and wary, but it was not good for things.

In fact, Ouyang Xiu had already been instructed by the emperor, even if this matter was a fact, it would turn a big thing into a small matter, after all, Su Jin had made a great contribution to destroying the bandits, as for talking nonsense and making promises in order to deal with the bandits, although it was hateful, it was not hateful to the extent of a heinous crime; Others, such as what is greedy for merit and what refuses the assistance of the garrisons in Shouzhou and Luzhou, are all nonsense.

Do you want to say that Su Jin would rather fight with bandits for that bit of credit? Not to mention that with Ouyang Xiu's understanding of Su Jin, this person would never do this, and it doesn't make sense in general logic.

All in all, Ouyang Xiu went to help Su Jin wipe his ass, and he was instructed to come here from the capital, not to mention that he had already kept a secret with Su Jin at this moment and became a comrade-in-arms in the trenches, so naturally he had to do everything he could to drag him down; Ouyang Xiu was also extremely puzzled, why a minister who was good and good, actually got on Su Jin's thief ship after going around and around, and guarded such a big rebellious crime for him, he was afraid to think about it.

But now there is no turning back from the bow, this is a point of no return, I can only desperately pull Su Jin and Yan Shu, if you want to die, everyone will die together, as long as you don't die, everyone will move forward together.

Su Jin was not in the mood to entangle with Ouyang Xiu, he persuaded Ouyang Xiu to return to the capital first and come back after the first day, but Ouyang Xiu refused, so he gave up; Doing his best to handle cases without rest on holidays is a gesture that Ouyang Xiu wants to make in front of the emperor, he is not so conscious, and he can't stop others from performing; So after agreeing to meet in Luzhou on the sixth day of the first month, Su Jin completely left Ouyang Xiu behind.

Su Jin's other headache is how to settle the women rescued in the Fugui Building, which can neither be brought back to Luzhou, nor can they always be kept in captivity in the inn; After thinking about it, Su Jin still decided to dismiss these women by distributing some money and silver.

In the afternoon, Su Jin found an excuse to sneak into the inn and gather more than a dozen women together, although these women had only met Su Jin once, they were not afraid of life; Su Jin was sitting precariously, but they were giggling and joking, whispering to Su Jin and pointing at them, and some of them secretly teased Su Jin with their eyes.

Su Jin coughed, stretched out his hand and spread a large package on the table and opened it, and suddenly the table was full of jewels, the gold and silver ingots shook so that people's eyes were dizzy, and the white peony and the girls were still chattering with smiles on their faces, but they knew in an instant what Su Jin was going to do.

Su Jin coughed and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Feng Jingyao and a group of criminals have been beheaded yesterday, and most of the remaining sinners of the Dragon and Tiger Sect have also been sentenced to prison, so you must have heard about it; As soon as this matter is over, you don't have to hide, so I came here today to return your freedom, there is some money here, and the right to do it is in the next little heart, you take it and go to your relatives and friends. ”

The noisy laughter fell silent, and the women were silent one by one, looking at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't speak.

Su Jin smiled: "What? Do you not hope to be free again? I'm happy and stupid at the moment. ”

The white peony who was standing on the side suddenly fell to his knees, lowered his head and cried: "Master Su, the sisters of the slave family were still discussing how Gongzi would settle us yesterday, and I also thought that Gongzi would dismiss us and others, but our sisters were all taken captive here, and the relatives in the family are no longer there, and there is a vast sea of people, but there is no place for half an inch, where can we go?" ”

All the women also knelt down to wipe their tears, and a woman in red cried coquettishly: "Yes, Su Gongzi, the slave family has never lived in the world, although this time although he was rescued by Gongzi Ye and was able to get out of the tiger's mouth, but where can I go?" ”

Su Jin knew this woman in red, he was the red rose that night with the white peony who served him, the ecstasy taste that night, Su Jin was deeply impressed, the red rose's clever tongue almost didn't suck out his soul.

Su Jin didn't want to throw away these stunners in the world, although these women were filthy, Su Jin had no taboos in this regard, and he didn't want to marry them, what he wanted was this kind of sass. Charming to the bone, as a man, he is naturally a good wife and mother, but looking for flowers and willows outside, these best in the world are naturally the first choice.

But the question is, what can I do with them? It is impossible to take it home, and if they are dismissed, they are talking like this again, which really makes Su Jin's scalp flutter like snowflakes, and there is nothing to be done.

"Master Su, my sisters and others have no long skills, and many sisters don't even understand the sophistication of people in this world, and I'm afraid that going out of this door is just a dead end." White Peony cried.

Su Jin frowned and said, "Then what should I do?" I don't have a place to settle you, it's going to be difficult. ”

Bai Peony said softly: "My sisters and I don't have the luxury of hoping to let Gongzi take them in, otherwise, please invite Gongzi to invite Mihua Niang, our sisters are under her care, and they may be able to live under her wing." ”

Su Jin said angrily: "How can you wait like this? It was not easy for me to rescue you from the government, and you still want to go back to your old business, it's really ...... Is...... Teach me what to say? ”

Bai Peony hurriedly said: "The son will be wrong, although we are filthy, but we will not be so cheap, but in the past, Mi Hua Niang once told our sisters that if we can get out of the cage one day, she will take us to the capital, and use our savings to open a tile house, and my sisters can sing opera and sing songs to make a living, but they will no longer do this dirty business." ”

Su Jin suddenly realized, it turned out that Mi Hua Niang actually had this thought, it was really admirable, thinking that this woman died for Feng Jingyao, he couldn't help but sigh, and said in a deep voice: "It's a good way, but it's a pity that Mi Hua Girl is no longer there." ”

The girls were taken aback, and asked gossipily: "What does the son mean when he said that Mi Hua Niang is gone?" ”

Su Jin sighed: "She has committed suicide, but she is a strong woman." "I told me about the suicide of the rice flower at the moment.

The women were grief-stricken, mourning and crying, Su Jin didn't think that these women actually had such deep feelings for rice flowers, he thought that they should hate rice flowers, but unexpectedly this is the result, it seems that rice flowers must be extremely caring for them on weekdays.

White Peony burst into tears, coughing while crying, and after a while, her body was crooked and she fainted on the ground, everyone hurriedly helped her up, pinched people and poured hot tea to wake her up, Su Jin saw that there were blood stains on the corners of her mouth, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

A woman sobbed softly, "Doesn't Master Su remember?" After Su Gongzi got rid of the list from Sister Peony last time, his father-in-law ...... No, no, no...... Feng Lao Thief suspected that she was colluding with you, and kicked her sister in the chest, and she vomited blood at that time, if it wasn't for Mi Hua Niang's timely maintenance, my sister was afraid that she would be killed that day; Later, the injury has not healed, and he often vomits blood, which will hear bad news, and naturally affect the injury again. ”

Su Jin was stunned and said, "Why didn't she say it, this injury doesn't seem to be light." ”

The women mourned and wept, helping the half-unconscious white peony wipe her chest and make a mess.

Su Jin paced back and forth, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, since you have nowhere to go for the time being, you will go to Luzhou with me to settle down first, in the afternoon I will ask someone to help you call a few big cars, you fall far behind my convoy, when you arrive in Luzhou, I will arrange a separate house for you, help the white peony girl ask Lang Zhong to take medicine to recuperate, no matter what, take care of the injury first, and then make plans after the New Year, what do you think?" ”

The women were overjoyed that they could finally leave Yangzhou to live a new life, and under the protection of Su Gongzi, it was really unthinkable.

Su Jin bent down and touched Bai Peony's cheek, and said softly, "Did you hear me?" Let's relax first, follow me to Luzhou to raise, and my body is important. ”

White peony tears rolled down like pearls, struggling to get up and kowtow to Su Jin, Su Jin hurriedly held her down; Bai Peony said: "The son is very kind, and it is difficult for my sisters to repay it." ”

Su Jin said: "What are you talking about?" You almost gave your life for me, and you deserved it. ”

Bai Peony said: "Endang will report later, don't mention it for the time being, the slave family has a reluctant request now, please fulfill the son." ”

Su Jin said: "Say it." ”

Bai Peony's tears came down again, and she sobbed: "The slave family wants to go to Mi Hua Niang's grave with her sisters to burn some paper money before leaving, if it weren't for Mi Hua Niang's care of our sisters, none of our sisters would want to live to this day." ”

Su Jin nodded and said: "You are all affectionate and righteous women, much more noble than many pretending innocent women in the world, of course this request must be agreed, I will arrange it, you pack your clothes and wait here." ”

Su Jin walked out quickly, with clothes behind him, and a group of dusty women knelt on the ground.
