Luo Qingshan didn’t want to see this little girl who could raise pigs at all.
He said indifferently: “It was Xiao Xi who bought you, and you will follow her in the future.”
Xing’er remembered the name Xiao Xi in her heart, and she respectfully knocked Xiao Xi’s head, which was regarded as a formal recognition of the lord.
At this time, Xiao Nan took a step forward and said respectfully: “Young master, when my subordinates accompanied Xing’er to her cousin’s house today, they ran into a group of officials. Those officials came to catch Xing’er and were beaten away by their subordinates. ”
Luo Qingshan didn’t care about this, he didn’t even lift his eyelids.
Xiao Nan continued: “Afterwards, my subordinates asked Xing’er, and only then did they learn from her why the officials wanted to arrest her. This matter has something to do with Magistrate Yang.”
Luo Qingshan finally got a little interested: “What’s the matter?”
Xiao Nan looked at Xing’er and motioned to her to say.
Xing’er was actually a little afraid of the cold young master in front of her. When the young master looked at her, she instinctively wanted to shrink back.
She plucked up the courage to speak in a trembling voice: “I, I was knocked out by my cousin and aunt and sold into the county government. When I woke up, I was already locked up in the dungeon of the county government. In that dungeon, in addition to me, there were more than a dozen girls, all of whom were about the same age as me.”
Luo Qingshan: “They were all sold into the county government?”
“No, only a small part of them were sold in, and most of them were abducted.”
Luo Qingshan immediately remembered the recent disappearance of a large number of children in the city.
He asked, “How many half-grown children like you are locked up in the county government?”
Xing’er thought carefully: “I only know that there are fifteen or six people in my cell, and the other cells don’t know.”
Luo Qingshan: “How did you escape yesterday?”
“The magistrate selected four girls from our cell, saying that they wanted us to serve a distinguished guest, who was an old Taoist.”
“Old Taoist?”
Xing’er recalled while continuing to narrate: “The old Taoist was a guest invited by Magistrate Yang. It is said that he was to help the prince hold the rain-seeking ceremony. Magistrate Yang respected the old Taoist very much, and kept asking us to pour wine and vegetables for the old Taoist. The old Taoist said he wanted to touch my bones, and his hands touched me indiscriminately. I was shocked and scared. I pushed him. The mother next to me immediately slapped me in the face and cursed a lot of unpleasant words. They thought I was not interesting and asked the magistrate to send me back to the prison. On the way, I ran out while the magistrate was not paying attention. As soon as I left the county government, I happened to run into Master Nie. Fortunately, Master Nie saved me, otherwise I would definitely be caught by them.”
She told all the things she remembered, including the experiences that made her feel embarrassed.
Luo Qingshan asked, “Do you know the origin of that old Taoist?”
Xing’er shook her head: “I don’t know.”
She paused, as if remembering something, and added: “I heard them mention Xuanmen. That old Taoist seems to have come from Xuanmen.”
Xuanmen?
Luo Qingshan subconsciously lowered his head to look at the woman beside him.
At this time, Xiao Xixi was still asleep, and he didn’t mean to wake up at all.
Just as Luo Qingshan was thinking intently about why Xuanmen wanted to intervene in this matter, he heard a noise downstairs.
Xiao Nan immediately went out to check the situation.
He returned to the house after a while, his face not looking good.
“Young master, there are a lot of trappers and officials downstairs. Some of them have met with me. They are the ones who wanted to grab Xing’er this morning but were beaten away by their subordinates.”
