Chapter 57

An hour later, dawn broke

There were seventy bandits who attacked the official ship last night, a large portion of them died, and the rest were seriously injured

The escort boatmen on the official ship also had casualties

Wang Tong was worthy of being the commander of the East Palace guards, and handled such matters with a clean and efficient manner

Only left two less injured bandits to interrogate the details, the rest were all sent to the nearest government office to file a case

The official ship injured guards boatman, all were sent into the cabin to treat injuries and bandages

Although the royal grandson is a secret trip, the ship also brought a highly skilled doctor

Cope with these injuries is nothing

Dozens of East Palace guards kept taking water from the river to flush the board, the blood on the board was soon washed clean

Only the stench of blood remainedYour Highness, everything has been disposed of properly”

Wang Tong, who had been busy for half the night, was still in high spirits and reported everything in concise and succinct words, and finally added, “Lord Ling has come with all his family members to ask for an audience to thank him for his kindness, and is waiting outside”

The Imperial Great-grandson gave a faint hmmm

There was no sullen face and nothing impatient

Wang Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately commanded, “Please invite Lord Ling’s family onto the ship”

The self-same guards retreated with orders, and after a few moments, Lord Ling entered the cabin with all his family members

Lord Ling quickly stepped forward, performed a bowing salute, and said gratefully, “I, Ling Zhiyuan, thank Your Highness Taisun for saving my life

Last night, we encountered bandits, but fortunately, Your Highness Taisun led the guards to rescue us in time

Otherwise, I’m afraid that my family would have met an untimely end”

These words were spoken with sincerity and gratitude

Huang Taisun accepted the salute with a calm demeanor: “Ling Langzhong, please rise

It’s just a matter of lifting my hand”

His Royal Highness the Great Grandson

Why did he suddenly appear on this waterway?

And how did he happen to see the distress signal and rush to rescue him?

This kind of trivial details, the Imperial Sun himself will not open his mouth to explain

Master Ling did not dare to ask more questions, thankfully said a call

Only then did he stand up

Ling Jingshu also along with the Sun and other people to get up, hanging his head and convergence, looking soft and gentle

And last night that holding a dagger ruthless girl is a different person

Huang Taisun’s eyes seemingly swept over the low-browed figure of the young girl, slightly tugging at the corner of his lips

I don’t know whether to sneer or find it funnyCome on people, watch the seat!”

Although the Imperial Grandson was young, he had a noble demeanor, and his speech and demeanor were filled with an irresistible majesty

Master Ling was quite flattered and thanked him, “Thank you, Your Highness the Great-grandson for giving me a seat”

This is the eldest son of the Eastern Palace

The Emperor’s most important and favored Royal grandson

The crown prince’s body is weak, not the face of longevity

Perhaps, before the emperor returns to heaven

Directly pass the throne to the royal grandson is also possible

In short, sooner or later, this Great Zhou Dynasty will be the world of this young man

To be able to get the eyes of the Emperor’s grandson, is a matter of joy!

With an order from the Imperial Great-grandson, several chamberlains immediately brought in small brocade zhangs

The people naturally did not have the qualifications to sit on an equal footing with Huang Taisun

Sitting on the shorter Jinzha

It was already a gift

After Grand Master Ling carefully sat down, all the people also sat down one by one

Ling Jingshu purposely sat at the very back, and deliberately hung her head, did not raise her head to look at the Imperial Grandson

But her ears were cautiously and carefully erected, not missing half a word

Huang Taisun commanded, “Wang Tong, tell Ling Lang’s family about the bandit’s confession”Yes,” Wang Tong answered and stood behind Huang Taisun

In a deep voice, he said, “This group of bandits, there are about a hundred people in total

There are four boats in total

The lair is very hidden

What they do on weekdays is to smuggle people”

Human smuggling?

The crowd was all startled

No wonder after the bandits attacked the ship last night, they didn’t go on a killing spree, but instead split half of their manpower to tangle with the guards and boatmen, and then searched and touched the third-floor cabins to take Ling Jingshu’s siblings Wang Tong coughed and went on, “They specialize in picking on beautiful and multi-talented government officials, and their techniques are the usual ones

First look for a suitable target, then secretly stalking, and then tailing the boat waiting for the opportunity to strike

Do not hurt people’s lives, do not rob the gold and silver, only take away the target

After reaching their goal, they immediately disappear and never linger”They acted quickly and were successful time and time again

The captive daughter of the family’s concerns, do not dare to openly report to the police to investigate and arrest, can only secretly search

Since the news is not heard, but do not dare to publicize”Captive girls will be quickly transported to the customs, sold to the hands of barbarian leaders

The price is high, and most of the time a maiden can be sold for as much as a hundred warhorses”Our Great Zhou Dynasty lacks warhorses, and an ordinary warhorse can be sold for two or three hundred taels of silver

A good warhorse outside of Guanwai can sell for a high price of three to four hundred taels of silver

For a hundred horses, that’s thirty to forty thousand taels of silver

With such huge ‘profits’, it’s no wonder these bandits dare to take the risk”Those two bandits couldn’t resist the torture and told us everything

It was at the pier that day that they set their eyes on Miss Ling Jiu, and then secretly stalked her for two days and two nights before they found the opportunity to strike”

When Wang Tong finished saying this, the faces of the crowd did not look too good

The following were the mental activities of the crowd

Master Ling: If Ling Jingshu was really taken away and sold outside of the pass, how could he face his old mother and fifth brother at home in the future?

Sun: So those people really did come for A Shu

What an unmitigated disaster

Jiang: It’s fortunate that they didn’t succeed!

Otherwise, A Shu’s life would be over

Ling Ji: So A Shu’s hunch was right, it’s all my fault, I didn’t take it to heart, if I had been prepared, I wouldn’t have ended up in this situation

Ling Jingyan: These bandits are blind?

Even if I am not as beautiful as Ling Jingshu, I am at least as beautiful as a flower girl

Why didn’t anyone notice me?

Ling Jingyan: I’m not as beautiful as Ling Jingshu!

! Of course, no one felt more deeply than Ling Jingshu

Her palms were in a cold sweat, and a wave of fear ran through her heart

This beautiful face had never brought her true happiness

Half of the tragedy in her previous life came from Lu Hong’s negative heart, while the other half came from Lu Qian’s infatuation and Lu An’s greed for women

This life was even more ridiculous, to be targeted by such a group of greedy bandits

If she hadn’t released the rescue signal earlier, if someone hadn’t happened to come to the rescue, if she hadn’t made a split second decision what fate would be awaiting her now?

Ling Xiao suddenly got up and fumbled her way over to the Imperial Grandson before flopping down on her knees, ”Many thanks to Your Highness the Imperial Grandson for saving Ah Shu!

Your Highness’s saving grace, A Shu and I have no teeth to forget, and will definitely repay Your Highness’s favor in the future”

Saying this, he kowtowed three times with great vigor

Ling Jingshu looks at Ling Xiao’s slightly thin back, her eyes steeply heat up and watery light appears
