Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 62
When Hu Qian arrived, Xu Yuanfang and several adults were already discussing.

After Hu Qian saw the ceremony, he was arranged by Xu Yuanfang to sit on the lower seat.

"Jinggong, you are not an outsider, please come here, I want to ask your opinion on something."

"Uncle, but it doesn't matter."

"You must have heard about what happened last night, but to be honest, Ma Shoubei lost contact.

According to the speculation of several of us, the horse defense should be attacked by an iron whip. As for the result, it is still hard to say. "

Hu Qian nodded, faintly feeling that things should be worse than imagined.

If Ma Shoubing breaks out, he will definitely come to Jinling City.

But there has been no contact until now, so it's probably more ominous than good.

"But Ma Shoubei said before that Yi Tiebian seems to have someone who knows magic, so he can often escape the encirclement of the officers and soldiers..."

"What does uncle mean?"

"Let's plan for the worst first, in case the entire army of horse defense is wiped out, and a group of bandits besiege Jinling City with an iron whip..."

Hu Qian nodded, "If there are such monsters, Jing Gong will definitely help, but marching and fighting is not the director of Jing Gong."

"It's natural for their military officers to do the war, as long as you can deal with that monster, the rest will be fine.

Besides, Ma Shoubing is Kong Zongbing's subordinate. If something happened to him, Kong Zongbing must take action. We just need to stick to Jinling City. "

After leaving the state office, Hu Qian saw many refugees in ragged clothes on the street.

It seems that not only Jinling, but also the counties below must have been attacked by an iron whip.

Thinking about it carefully, what Xu Yuanfang said seemed to make sense, if there wasn't some monster, with his iron whip, how could those bandits have been dealing with the officers and soldiers for so long.

Back home, it happened that Axiu was about to go out to visit Mother Liu's house to pay New Year's greetings.

There is no news of her parents, and only Liu Ma's family is left as her relatives.

Hu Qian wanted to go with her, but Axiu shook her head and said, "Young master, this is impossible, no family would go to a concubine's house to pay New Year's greetings."

"Okay, you come back early." He said and took out another ten taels of silver, "If I don't go, you can help me bring something, lest people say that I underestimate you."

With tears in her eyes, Axiu took it and said in a low voice, "Thank you, young master."

Hu Qian was moved, took her hand and said, "Forget it, let me go shopping with you."

So Xiaohuan talked to Shen Yuzhen, and then went to the street with Axiu.

Although it is the first day of the new year, many shops are still open.

Hu Qian originally wanted to buy some brocade cloth, but on second thought, it would be better to just give the money directly, and if Mama Liu's family lacks anything, they can buy it by themselves.

In order not to buy some fancy but useless things, they have to sell them for silver in the end.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a girl with straw marks on her head at the corner of the street, about twelve or thirteen years old, her head and face were covered in ashes, her clothes were torn and covered with patches.

Beside her, a middle-aged man in coarse linen was squatting there, squinting at the pedestrians on the street.

Hu Qian was taken aback, and asked Axiu, "What is that child doing? Why is there a grass planted on his head?"

Axiu said: "Putting the label to sell the head is to sell the child."

Hu Qian had heard of selling children before. When he didn't time travel, he also saw many girls wearing grass headdresses. It was quite popular at that time, but he didn't expect it to mean this.

He walked over, squatted down, and asked, "little girl, what's your name?"

The girl just shook her head without saying a word.

The middle-aged man behind hurried over, bowed his head and said with a smile: "Master, what a beautiful little girl you see, do you like her?"

Hu Qian said, "Who are you?"

"I'm his cousin. The poor boy's parents were killed by bandits. No one cares about it. If you like it, you can buy it and take it home as a toy."

"Are you really his cousin?"

"Yeah, why not."

Hu Qian took the child's arm, "Little girl, don't be afraid, tell me, is he your relative?"

The little girl shook her head silently.

Hu Qian shouted: "I think you are a child trafficker! Follow me to the Yamen!"

The man suddenly took out a small knife and stabbed at Hu Qian.

Hu Qian kicked him in the hand, turned the blade, and stabbed him directly in the chest.

He struggled twice and fell to the ground motionless.

The people around immediately shouted: "Killed! Killed! Report to the police!"

Hu Qian said loudly: "This guy is a trafficker who abducts and sells children! Hurry up and report to the authorities!"

Not long after, two yamen servants walked over with chains, and one of them was Zhang Hu.

Seeing Hu Qian, Zhang Hu immediately bowed and said, "Young Master Hu, this is?"

Hu Qian explained briefly, and Zhang Hu asked the little girl again, so he had the body collected.

"My lord, what about the little girl?"

Axiu didn't know if she thought of herself, she looked at Hu Qian earnestly and said, "Master, why don't you just take it home, it's so pitiful."

Hu Qian had this plan in mind, so he took the little girl's hand and said, "Little girl, what's your name?"

"I...my name is Lu'er."

"Now I will take you back to be a maid, are you willing?"

Although Lu'er is young, she can probably tell the difference between good and evil. She was just scared by the traffickers before, so she didn't dare to speak.

"I am willing."

Hu Qian nodded, "Axiu, go to Mama Liu's house first, I'll take Lu'er home, and when you come back, bring her to your room."

Axiu said happily: "Thank you, young master."

When she got home, Lu'er was still standing timidly behind Hu Qian, not daring to raise her head.

When the three of Shen Yuzhen saw each other, they immediately moved over curiously.

Hu Qian explained what happened just now.

Shen Yuzhen said: "These human traffickers are really hateful."

Then he took Lu'er's hand to ask for warmth.

"It's time to be hungry, Xing'er, go and get something to eat, Xiaohuan, take her to wash, and put on your clean clothes for her."

"The servant's clothes should be bigger for her."

"Then change it to a smaller size, and I'll buy it for you later."

Perhaps because of the news of the war outside the city, people in the city hardly went out, and no one came to pay New Year's greetings.

Hu Qian was also happy to be quiet.

After Xiaohuan and Xing'er washed Lu'er and put on new clothes, a beauty embryo appeared in front of everyone.

Shen Yuzhen praised: "Lu'er is so handsome, I didn't have her appearance when I was so old."

Hu Qian said, "Lu'er, where are you from? Where are your parents?"

Lu'er was no longer as scared as before, and said softly: "I am from Guangping County, my family has been farming for generations, and my parents were killed by bandits.

They saw that I was young, so they took me back. "

Hu Qian sighed, "The world is not peaceful, and human life is worthless."

Xiaohuan asked, "Then how did you escape?"

Lu'er said: "When those bandits escorted me away, I met a beautiful elder sister on the way.

That sister opened her coat, threw a dagger into the air, and saw a long rainbow flying down, and those bandits died..."
