Time is slow

   Chapter 433 Fiancee

   She stretched out her hand and pulled Shao Mingyuan, lowered her voice and said, "Brother Shao, I know what's wrong."

   The young general was shaken by the call of "Big Brother Shao", and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were all smiles: "Huh?"

   Qiao Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth, wanting to give someone a smirk, inexplicably felt that someone's smirk looked very like a big long-haired dog she raised in Xingzilin many years ago, silly and silly.

  The long-haired dog ran away from home and never came back. The grandfather said that it was the end of its life, and he didn't want her to see it passed away, so he quietly hid.

   At that time, she was very sad for a while.

  Qiao Zhao couldn't help but glance at Shao Mingyuan and thought: What will happen to her if he disappears one day?

   may be a little sad.

  Thinking like this, Miss Qiao couldn't let go of her eyes. She retracted Piaoyuan's thoughts and whispered, "There are no young women in this town."

   Not to mention a coastal town where etiquette is relaxed, there are many young ladies strolling around the streets with their maids and maids on the streets of the capital.

  This town has a lot of people coming and going, but it's too weird that there isn't a single young woman.

   Shao Mingyuan's eyes swept away, and as Qiao Zhao said, most of the pedestrians coming and going in the town are men of all shapes and sizes. Occasionally, a woman can be seen, but she is in her 30s or 40s.

   And those people are also looking at them, all eyes are on Qiao Zhao and the two maids.

   This kind of abnormality is actually quite obvious, and it can be noticed once someone reminds it, but if no one pierces this layer of window paper, it will become dark under the lights, and it is often difficult to detect.

   Shao Mingyuan boasted that his observation skills were good, but he only realized it after hearing what Qiao Zhao said.

   Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that he never paid attention to other women.

   The young general was alert and secretly reminded himself: he can't make such mistakes in the future, no matter what kind of man or woman he is, there are only three types of people in this world: Zhao Zhao, friends and others.

  The crowd went to a restaurant.

   "Go ahead and talk about it." Shao Mingyuan walked in first.

The seaside town is different from the prosperous capital. Without the enthusiasm of the restaurant staff in the capital, the staff in the small restaurant glanced lazily at Shao Mingyuan and the others until they saw Qiao Zhao and the three of them, and suddenly jumped up and his face changed greatly: "Come on, let's go. , let's go!"

  Yang Houcheng slapped the table abruptly and sneered: "Isn't this a liquor store, is there a reason to rush guests like this in the daytime?"

   Buddy only then saw that the small wine shop was full of tall men.

   A bitterness in his heart: I'm sorry, I saw three little ladies at a glance just now, but I didn't notice that there were so many people on the other side.

   The shopkeeper hurried out when he heard the movement and gave the man a stern look: "How do you do things!"

   Buddy looks aggrieved.

   He didn't want this either, but the three little ladies were as shiny as gold, who didn't see it at first sight.

   "Ladies and gentlemen, our restaurant is too small for people like you to sit down. Why don't you move to another home—"

  Yang Houcheng grabbed the shopkeeper's collar and said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense, we're hungry, we have to eat now!"

   The shopkeeper was pinched and rolled his eyes, raised his leg and kicked the dumbfounded man, and scolded: "Please invite the guests to sit down!"

   The small restaurant rarely has a private room. Qiao Zhao and a few people walked in, while the others stayed in the hall.

   After ordering the food, the guy fled, Yang Houcheng sneered: "This kind of soft persimmon is toasting, not eating and drinking."

   While waiting for the food to be served, several people started talking about what they had just discovered.

   "Why aren't there any young women in this town? Is it heavier than the rules in the capital, that young women must stay out of the gate?" Yang Houcheng drank a few sips of tea and muttered.

   Chi Can glanced at Qiao Zhao and said lightly: "Instead of guessing, it's better to ask directly."

  Yang Houcheng looked at Shao Mingyuan.

  Shao Mingyuan said with a smile: "Xi Xi is right, it's best to ask directly, it's simple, rude and effective."

  Interrogation of different people requires different methods, and it is best to ask directly about the people in the restaurant.

   Chi Can patted Yang Houcheng's arm: "Yang Er, I have to leave this to you."

   "Why is it me again, I was just pretending to be a bully, can't I change someone else now?"

   "Because you look the best, let me pretend, how laborious."

  Yang Houcheng smiled: "If you are a little lady, Shi Xi is the most suitable for you."

  Chi Can's face darkened, and he couldn't help thinking of Zeng Nan disguised as a woman and sneaked into the Loei House.

  I didn’t think so at the time, but now I think about it, could it be that Li San felt inferior when he saw that he looked better than her in women’s clothes?

  Thinking like this, Chi Can regretted it, and naturally he didn't have a good face for Yang Houcheng.

   Yang Houcheng knew that he had made a blunder and smiled awkwardly. The guy just came in with the wine and vegetables. After the guy put the wine and vegetables away, he reached out and grabbed the guy's wrist and said viciously, "Stand against the wall!"

  Yang Houcheng's hand was so strong that the man's wrist suddenly ached, so he could only stand against the wall and asked pitifully, "What else do you want to tell me?"

   "Why don't you see young women here?" Yang Houcheng asked straight to the point.

   As soon as these words came out, the young man's expression changed greatly, and he shook his head again and again: "Little one doesn't know this, I don't know—"

   "Related to the government?" Shao Mingyuan suddenly asked.

   can make ordinary people so secretive, and nine out of ten things will have something to do with the local government.

   Buddy was stunned by what Shao Mingyuan said.

Shao Mingyuan put his hand on the table, and when he took it back, there was a piece of silver left on the table, and said calmly: "We just passed by here, there is no other meaning to inquire about this matter, it is purely because I found that there are no young women here, and I am worried about my fiancee. Safety. I also hope that my little brother can help us clear up our doubts. If you have said it, it will be fine if we have heard it. That's all."

   Fiancee?

  The corner of Chi Can's mouth twitched, and Yang Houcheng was so frightened that he hurriedly kicked him under the table.

   Mr. Chi, don't cause any trouble if we all quit. The fiancee should be the fiancee. Miss Li has no objection. It's serious to ask the situation first.

   Chi Can twitched the corners of his mouth.

   He was just surprised that Shao Mingyuan was too thick-skinned, why did Yang Er kick him? This bastard!

   Ms. Qiao, who was admitted by Yang Hou as not objecting at all, clenched her fist quietly.

   That's it, business matters.

Shao Mingyuan's remarks made the man hesitate for a moment, looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "The little one will tell the truth. There are no young women in our town, not because young women are staying at home and can't come out, but because they are arrested by officials. The master gave it to the Japanese pirates!"

   This statement surprised everyone.

   Local officials gave young women to Japanese pirates?

The guy raised his hand and wiped a tear: "The first two years were fine, but the Japanese pirates came more and more frequently. In order to keep the peace for a while, Mr. Guan picked a few young women from the town to give to the Japanese pirates every once in a while. Time After a long time, the young woman ran away and died, where can you see it?"
