Hong Ma knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise her head, silently repeating the two sentences of the imperial capital and twelve years ago, thinking back to who she offended in the imperial capital back then, but there was no result after thinking about it.

After a while, there was a neat and heavy footstep outside, Fuchuan County Manager stood up and greeted him, Hong Ma heard it, it should be a soldier, and the position was not low, she suddenly remembered one thing in her heart, and couldn't help but look back, when she saw the county manager bow down to salute the comer, Red Mother's heart was tight, when she saw the female soldiers behind Yuan Fang with a full face of slaughter, her pounding heart calmed down a little, her mind recalled the female general she met in Nanzhou many years ago, and remembered the promise of the female general, and Hong Ma felt a little more at ease.

Yuan Fang glanced at the kneeling red mother in the living room, and thanked Buchuan County Li again and again with a pleasant face, and Fuchuan County Li took his men to retreat outside the mansion with a sense of humor.

Yuan Fang strode into the living room, took the first place, looked down at Mama Hong, and asked, "Mama Hong?" More than ten years ago to settle in Bucheon County and engage in human trafficking? ”

Hongma kowtowed and said, "Yes, my lord, I am the Hongma you are looking for." ”

Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, and asked with interest: "How do you know that you are the person I am looking for?" ”

Hong's mother didn't answer and asked: "This general, you were sent by General Xia Liang, right?" ”

Yuan Fang stared at Hong's mother for a long time, and with a wave of his hand, except for Sang Rou and the four of them, the other female soldiers withdrew from the living room and stayed outside.

Yuan Fang's gaze became cold, he didn't like to hear Xia Liang's name from such a woman's mouth, it was blasphemy for Yuan Fang. Similarly, Xia Liang was not offended in Sang Rou's hearts, and their eyes became cold, staring at this old woman, as long as she said half a word of disrespect, they would not hesitate to cut this woman.

After a while, Yuan Fang said coldly: "Do you know General Xia Liang?" ”

Hongma's heart of choice finally let go, and she replied honestly: "Yes, General, I went to Nanzhou to do business back then, and I had a few encounters with General Xia Liang. At the beginning, the old woman and I helped General Xia Liang a little, General Xia Liang promised to keep me safe, although I have left Nanzhou, and so many years have passed, but I believe that General Xia Liang's promise should still be valid. ”

Yuan Fang's expression changed for a long time, and he sighed and said, "Xia Liang, she has sacrificed her life for the country, and she is no longer alive. Hearing that Xia Liang was dead, Hong's mother's face changed slightly, and her heart rose again.

Yuan Fang continued: "However, her promise is still valid, as long as you don't do anything that hurts the anger of heaven and people, I can keep you safe." ”

Hong Ma's heart was overjoyed, as if she had taken a reassuring pill, and her courage grew a lot: "I don't know what this general is called?" ”

Sang Rou introduced: "This is the director of the Imperial Military Hospital, General Yuan Fangyuan. ”

Sang Rou didn't introduce Yuan Fang's other positions and titles, firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, some positions, such as the night boss, still had to be kept as secret as possible, although this was no longer a secret in officialdom.

Ouyang Xianxue added: "It's still General Xia Liang's husband. Hong's mother stood stunned on the spot when she heard this, she was a small person, but she had also heard of Yuan Fang's fame, and what shocked her even more was the relationship between Yuan Fang and Xia Liang.

After a while, Hong's mother came back to her senses, and while she was happy in her heart, she saluted more and more respectfully and said, "I've seen General Yuan." ”

Yuan Fang took a deep breath, pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Get up, sit down and talk." Hongma got up, but she didn't dare to sit down, just stood aside with her head down.

Yuan Fang didn't force it, and after a moment of silence, he said, "This time I came to you to ask you about something." ”

Hong's mother saluted again, and said respectfully: "Lord Yuan, please speak, the old woman knows everything." ”

Yuan Fang no longer hesitated, and went straight to the point: "I know a little about you and Xia Liang at the beginning, I heard that she saved a lot of girls from you, is this true?" ”

Hong's mother was very disdainful of the word 'save' that Yuan Fang said, but she didn't dare to show half of it, and replied honestly: "This is indeed the case, when General Xia Liang saw that those girls were pitiful, he paid for them, and I heard that they were brought back to the barracks." ”

Yuan Fang then asked, "Where did you get those girls?" ”

Hong's mother knew that the next answer might involve life and death, and she knew that the business she did was very hateful, so she replied cautiously: "Hui Yuan, those female babies were bought from the refugees who fled back then, and I have never persecuted them old women, I am a businessman, although human trafficking is against the peace, but it can be regarded as saving a lot of refugees, otherwise, without food and money, it is difficult for them to survive." ”

Hong's mother was right, at that time, there was no money, no food, no food, the whole family had to be starved to death, Yuan Fangyi waved his hand, he didn't want to discuss this issue, although Hongma also indirectly saved a lot of people, but he still didn't agree with this so-called business: "Okay, let me ask you, how many girls do you sell to Xia Liang?" What are their names? Do you know the whereabouts of their families? ”

Yuan Fang's series of questions, Hong's mother calmly responded: "It's been too long, I don't remember the names of those girls, but I still keep their information, I have a habit of doing business, I will record all relevant information in detail, and I can help a little when someone is looking for relatives in the future." ”

Yuan Fang pouted and said, "I want to make another profit, okay, I'm not interested in what you think, you go and get those materials." ”

As Yuan Fang said, the value of these materials is immeasurable, over the years, there have been several women who have been trafficked by her to marry women, and their husbands may have more or less strength, those women want to find their relatives, and finally find her, sparing no expense, but let her make a few sums of money.

Of course, Hong's mother didn't dare to care about Yuan Fang's request for silver, and without saying a word, she went to find the information Yuan Fang needed in person.

These materials are worthless to others, but they are worth a thousand gold to Hongma, so they will naturally be kept properly and sorted out every year.

Not long after, Ouyang Xianxue and Ye Qingru came back with Hong's mother, followed by two errands, and the two of them came in with some difficulty carrying a wooden box, put it on the ground and bowed to retreat.

Without Yuan Fang's urging, Hongma opened the box, which was neatly patted with parchment rolls, Hongma opened them one by one and looked through them, and finally picked out more than a dozen parchment rolls and handed them to Ye Qingru beside her, Ye Qingru checked and handed them over to Yuan Fang after making sure that there was no danger.

Yuan Fang took a deep breath and opened the first parchment scroll, the record on it was very simple, Guo Cuilian, twelve years old, a native of Liusha Village, Yingcai County, Dongzhou, a certain year of drought in Dongzhou, bought it from his father Guo Daniu for one or two or three dollars of silver, and three years later, sold it to Xia Liang, the general of the Nanzhou Women's Army, for fifteen taels of silver, Guo Daniu then moved to Gusilkworm Village, Xinghua County, Xizhou, and defected to his cousin Wang Yu.

Yuan Fang frowned and opened the second parchment scroll, Zhu Rong, fifteen years old, from Manniu Village, Tianniu County, Dongzhou, bought it from his father Zhu Kaishan for one tael of silver in a certain year, and sold it to Xia Liang, the general of the Nanzhou Women's Soldier Department for fifteen taels of silver three years later, and his father and his family went to Nanzhou, and their whereabouts were undecided.
