"Master, do you know what is the crime of becoming a general who protects the country after completing his term? It is a capital crime!"

Yang Ruoqing scolded the class leader who was kneeling on the ground in front of her.

The class leader was so frightened that he knocked his head on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Mrs. General, please forgive me. The younger one really didn't mean to deceive. The younger one is very eager to protect the child. I don't know where the two of you came from. I'm afraid you are plotting against the child!"

Next to him, Vice General Zhou also said coldly: "Shut up, our general is the pillar of the country, the patron saint of Daqi, and he loves the people like his own son. Without us generals fighting bloody battles, why would you be on stage playing silk and bamboo orchestra?"

The class leader was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed louder.

"The little one can't speak, but the little one knows the general's reputation. The general is a great hero in the eyes of our Daqi people..."

Luo Fengtang raised his hand and said: "Okay, stop talking. Class leader, my wife is kind-hearted. She saw you guys binding the child, and she couldn't bear it and wanted to redeem the child."

"You don't know the identity of our couple, and I don't blame you, but now that we are coming to you and asking you questions, you must answer truthfully."

"If you deceive me again, don't blame me for being rude. Apart from enemies, what I hate most is unruly people. Do you understand?"

The class teacher nodded repeatedly: "Young one, I understand. I can tell you everything, and I don't dare to lie to you even a little bit."

Hearing this, Luo Fengtang nodded, and then looked at Yang Ruoqing sitting next to him with gentle eyes: "Qing'er, you should ask."

Yang Ruoqing said 'hmm' and her eyes fell on the class leader.

"What's going on with the child? Ahu said you brought him back from the fishing village?" Yang Ruoqing asked straight to the point.

The class leader said: "That child is indeed the child of a fisherman's family over there in the fishing village, but I didn't abduct him, I rescued him."

"Tell me carefully," Yang Ruoqing said.

The class leader said: "This child is Xiaoyu, and his father is a fisherman from the fishing village. Three years ago, I passed by this area with a troupe, and because of some things, I accidentally met Xiaoyu's father."

"His father was a warm-hearted man and entertained me at that time. Three years later, I passed by here again with my troupe,"

"Something happened in the fishing village. Han troops were everywhere. I was asked by the leader of the Han troops, Prime Minister Qin, to sing in an opera."

"The night after I finished singing the opera, Xiaoyu's father came to me in the middle of the night, knelt down and asked me to save Xiaoyu,"

"I just asked him what happened?"

"He hesitated and didn't say anything. He only said that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended and that he was going to be finished now."

"He told me not to ask, because it would be bad for me if he knew. He asked me to take the little fish away, leave the fishing village, go anywhere, and never let the little fish come back."

Having said this, the class leader took out a fish-shaped pendant made of shells from his body with trembling hands.

"This pendant is not valuable. Xiaoyu's father gave it to me and asked me to give it to Xiaoyu when he grows up."

"I was grateful for his love for me, so I took the risk and hid the fish in a box containing costumes and props, and left the fishing village that night."

"I came to Tianhai County in one breath and left the territory of the Han army. Then I learned through many inquiries that the morning after our troupe left the fishing village,"

"Xiaoyu's family was killed by the Han army on the charge of spies. They were looking for Xiaoyu everywhere. I hid Xiaoyu and didn't dare to let him show up in front of others."

"During the day, I put some opera paint on his face to cover up his original appearance. I was also afraid of being recognized by the Han army. All I did was to save the life of Xiaoyu.

Please give the general and his wife a clear warning!"

The class leader once again buried his head heavily on the ground and bowed to Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang looked at each other, and they both saw the same thing in each other's eyes.

believe.

Believe in what the class leader said.

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and said: "Master, get up, sit down and talk, don't keep kneeling."

When the class leader heard this, he knew that his words had been heard by the general and his wife. He breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him, stood up and sat on a stool nearby.

Yang Ruoqing then asked him: "I heard from Ah Hu that you are leaving Tianhai County to go elsewhere tomorrow?"

The troupe leader nodded: "Yes, it's not peaceful here. Our troupe is a traveler, and we haven't been in any place for more than two months."

"Originally, I planned to go there in two days. No, my wife and the general are going over today. I'm worried that they are from the Han army, so I plan to pack up my things overnight and leave early tomorrow morning."

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "We are not from the Han army. Leader, you gave a false alarm."

The class leader also smiled awkwardly.

Yang Ruoqing said: "You can leave Tianhai County at any time, but I hope you can bring Xiaoyu to me before you leave. I want to ask him something."

After someone sent the class teacher away, Luo Fengtang asked Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, why do you have to see that child?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "That child came from the fishing village. His father was supposed to have followed the Han army, but he was killed."

"Now there are people in the Han army looking for him everywhere, which shows that this child may know something."

"I want to find him and ask him. Maybe it will be helpful to you in investigating the true situation of the Han army."

…

Early the next morning, Vice General Zhou brought the child to the house. Of course, in order not to arouse the suspicion of others,

Vice General Zhou brought the leader and his wife together. When anyone asked about it, he said that the general's wife liked to listen to operas and asked the leader and his wife to come over and talk about the operas.

Xiaoyu is obviously a boy, but he dresses up like a girl, saying that he is the new little girl bought by the class leader's wife.

After seeing Yang Ruoqing, the class leader and his wife were taken to another room to have tea and wait.

Xiaoyu was taken directly into Yang Ruoqing's house.

Luo Fengtang was also there, sitting there with a golden sword, which made Xiaoyu feel an indescribable pressure as soon as he entered the door. The child was a little timid.

Yang Ruoqing stretched out her hand towards Xiaoyu, pointed at the various cakes on the table, and said with a gentle smile: "Xiaoyu, don't be afraid, we are not bad people, we will not beat you, nor scold you, nor will we arrest you.

."

"You eat cakes, and my aunt will ask you a few questions. If you answer well, my aunt will grant you a wish."

Xiaoyu glanced at the pastries on the table. Although there was a bit of envy in his eyes, the child had obviously been resisting the temptation and not taking them.

But Yang Ruoqing's last promise made his eyes flash with light.

"Really? I want to go back to the fishing village and avenge my parents and younger brothers and sisters. Is this okay?" Xiaoyu asked excitedly.

Revenge for your family?

Yang Ruoqing frowned slightly, and Luo Fengtang's face also darkened.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Xiaoyu's excitement turned into disappointment.
