Zhao Mingming was a little at a loss. She really thought that Su Tang was helping her to use her for something. After all, she was a famous courtesan. She didn't expect that Su Tang actually did what she said, just letting her live with a different identity. , and this identity is related to Su Tang.
Zhao Mingming only felt that she was finally lucky enough to meet a good person this time. When she saw the two people saluting her, she just lowered her head and said hum.
Seeing Zhao Mingming acting like this, Su Tang gave her a sensible look, and then Su Tang and the others got into the carriage again and continued on their way.
"Your clothes are not good, Nian'er. There is a plain white cotton dress in the cabinet next to it. I took it for Miss Hua to put on." After getting in the car, Su Tang asked Jiang Nian to find some clothes for Zhao Mingming to wear.
Zhao Mingming saluted Su Tang gratefully, and finally changed her clothes. The plain white cotton dress was very simple, but it was a serious thing that a filial person should wear. Although Zhao Mingming was never married to his lover, his lover's family died, and she I have the intention to guard it like this.
It's just that she couldn't escape before. There was no room for her to dress up like this in the brothel, but now Su Tang has arranged everything properly. Zhao Mingming is even more grateful for Su Tang's help.
It became quiet after that. In less than half an hour, Su Tang and his carriage entered Fucheng, the capital of Dazhou. Just as Luo Xingchen had finished his work, the two parties met and found an inn to stay temporarily.
Early the next morning, after dawn, Su Tang and Luo Xingchen had breakfast with Zhao Mingming, got on the carriage and left. They stopped when passing by the prefect's Yamen, and sure enough they saw a ragged man knocking on the door with a hammer. The drums of injustice are blown from the mouth, and the sound is like thunder.
It also attracted countless people to watch and talk about it. The prefect would never dare not accept the case after this drum of injustice was beaten. The man shouted at the door that there were bandits outside the city and the whole family was wiped out. Such words made the people even more excited. Pointing fingers, talking about panic.
The matter got serious, and the prefect quickly sent out officials to check outside the city.
"Are you relieved?" Su Tang asked Zhao Mingming when he saw that the government servant had left the city.
Now that the government officials are dispatched, at least the accident that happened to the family will be investigated. Even if it is perfunctory, there will be a result. Moreover, the family will be buried. As for the truth and the grievances involved, it cannot be solved immediately.
In other words, even if Su Tang has the ability to solve it now, he doesn't plan to deal with it right away. It's not suitable right now. He is just pressing it temporarily. In the future, if Zhao Mingming cooperates well and really helps, Su Tang will help her. .
Zhao Mingming wore a white silk handkerchief on his face, revealing only a pair of phoenix eyes. Hearing Su Tang ask this, there were tears in his eyes, "Thank you, Miss Su, thank you Mr. Luo."
While she was talking, several servant-looking people came out on the street.
When Zhao Mingming saw these people, he turned around and did not dare to look over there. He felt a little guilty and said to Su Tang and Luo Xingchen, "Young master and young lady are so helpful, but I... The prefect of this state has been coveting me for many years, and I have been careful to deal with it. The madam can't see me right now, and she's afraid she'll catch me everywhere. I can't bring trouble to the young lady and the young master... "
Hearing her words, Su Tang and Luo Xingchen looked at each other. Fortunately, Zhao Mingming said it now, which shows that although she has scheming intentions, she is kind-hearted and not bad.
"We know." Luo Xingchen said to Zhao Mingming.
Su Tang smiled, "You should be grateful for your confession now!" After saying that, he directly said to Sulan and Jiang Nian, "Help Miss Hua get on the carriage."
Su Tang himself and Luo Xingchen rode "out of the city!"
