After the war, Li Xiuzhu returned to Luoyang with the women.

He still lived in the same courtyard as when he first came, but he did not forget the Wang family. He called five hundred people to empty the Wang family's house.

However, Li Xiuzhu felt numb as soon as he arrived at Wang's house.

Looking at the Wang family women who were being served like a second-generation rich kid, and then looking at the Wang family women who were still alive, Li Xiuzhu frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Xianxian flew over immediately, shook Li Xiuzhu's arm cautiously and said, "Master, they are so pitiful."

"It's obviously the men who did the bad things, how can you blame the women?"

"Is it Master?"

Although Huang Rong and other girls followed Li Xiuzhu, except for Huang Rong who glanced at Kankan with a half-smile, no one else cared.

Especially Xiao Meng and Bi Xiuxin, one of them has no desires and the other is obsessed with martial arts, so neither of them would speak.

Du Sanniang just watched. She was the kind of person who would ask you for instructions but would not cause trouble herself.

Li Xiuzhu didn't care about these women. Hearing this, he said, "Okay, since you've asked for mercy, let them go. Ten taels of silver per person, and we'll send them away."

Although ten taels of silver may not seem like a lot, it is equivalent to 20,000 yuan in later generations, so it is not considered a bad treatment.

However, after hearing what Li Xiuzhu said, Qianqian did not agree and said, "Master, what can these women do? If you give them ten taels of silver, it's not certain whether they will be robbed or not. Even if they are not robbed, it's not enough for them to spend in a month."

"In the end, these women may have nowhere to go except the brothel, Master..."

Li Xiuzhu was confused and asked immediately, "What do you mean? What do you think we should do?"

Upon hearing this, Kanan smiled.

"Let them go back to Shangjing, what do you think, Master?"

"Also, I want to hire two maids. You see, I'm already this old and no one is taking care of me."

Li Xiuzhu smiled helplessly upon hearing this, and said, "Now that you've spoken, what can the master say? I'll do as you say."

“How many people went to Beijing?”

Upon hearing this, Xianxian looked behind her, and Wang Xianyuan immediately said, "Miss, there are 112."

Hiss, there are quite a few people.

Li Xiuzhu thought for a moment and said, "The Sun family's boats from Suzhou and Hangzhou will arrive soon, and the river from Heluo to Shangjing will be open soon. When the Sun family's boats arrive, let them go."

"As for this period of time, you can still live in Wang's house."

Immediately, Kankan and the other women all smiled. Kankan’s smile was certainly not because of these women, but because she was pampered by her master.

Other women do it because they have a place to stay.

It's good enough to have a place to settle down and food to eat. It would be even better if I could live a better life.

Li Xiuzhu continued: "But the Wang family's property still needs to be moved, and these things must be under our noses."

Hearing this, Xianxian suddenly said, "Master, why don't you move in? The house here is big and spacious."

Before Li Xiuzhu could speak, Xiaomeng spoke first: "I don't like it..."

"You don't like the smell of other men, right? There are so many girls here waiting to be married."

"Xianyuan, give her your house, and find a few more clean rooms for the other sisters to live in."

After saying this, Qianqian looked at Huang Rong and continued, "Our competition isn't over yet, Sister Huang, let's continue."

"Before the competition is over, enjoy being called sister by me for a few more days."

Huang Rong smiled and said confidently, "Since you call me sister, I will naturally make it a lifelong thing."

"You won't win."

Suddenly, sparks and lightning seemed to pass between the two of them.

Li Xiuzhu looked at the two of them speechlessly without intervening. Anyway, what happened had nothing to do with him.

As long as you don't get really angry, there won't be any problem.

The days that followed were relatively peaceful. Li Xiuzhu cooked various dishes every day under the arrangements of Kankan and Huang Rong.

Traditional sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour pork, spicy Taibai bullfrog, deep-fried salt and pepper mushrooms, etc.

About nine days later, the troops from Suzhou and Hangzhou arrived.

With these military reinforcements and the participation of some Heluo people, the excavation of the Grand Canal quickly reached the Heluo moat.

With the sound of earth and rocks exploding, the canal from Heluo to Shangjing began to be dredged as the people watched.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

At this moment, Heluo's moat disappeared instantly, but the river water from afar continued to flow over.

About a day later, the people outside Heluo City were surprised to find a fleet of pleasure boats approaching.

Li Xiuzhu and others who heard the news rushed over, took a look and laughed.

"The Su family's fleet arrived quickly, but they were too eager to make their first pot of gold."

Li Canghai has the best relationship with the Su family. Upon hearing this, he quickly said, "If the prince is not happy, can you let Canghai notify Ling'er?"

Li Xiuzhu waved his hand.

"No, I promised the Su family, and I can use them anyway."

"Let's go. If you are interested, go meet the Su family. I also want to talk to them about taking the Wang family's women to the capital."

Yes, that is to say, there is no room for negotiation, you have to ride this transportation for free.

Li Canghai immediately said, "Canghai wants to accompany the prince."

Xiao Meng said calmly: "I won't go, I'm going back."

Bi Xiuxin had no intention of going to the painting boat, so she followed suit and said, "Husband, I won't go either. Have fun with your sisters."

Sun Youling's memory of the painting boat was not a good one. Although the result was good for her, her identity at the time was very embarrassing, so she said, "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well. Can I go back with my sisters?"

"Well, if you feel uncomfortable, go back and have a good rest."

Except for those three people, everyone else was very curious.

It was the first time for Heluo people and Kankan to see a painted boat, so they were curious.

Although it was not the first time Huang Rong had seen it, she had only been there once before when she was commanding the attack on Suzhou and Hangzhou, and had not seen the special features of the pleasure boat.

After the pleasure boat entered the moat, the Su family also came out. Leading the team was Su Linger, and behind her were two people who were obviously members of the Su family, and behind them were thugs.

With Su Linger taking the lead, the girls went up to the deck of the pleasure boat one after another, and looked curiously at Heluo, a city they had never been to.

Seeing Li Xiuzhu and others at the dock from a distance, Su Linger clasped her fists to signal them. When they came closer, Su Linger spoke again: "Su Linger greets His Majesty. I didn't expect to have the honor of having His Majesty come to pick me up in person."

Listening to Su Linger's jokes, Li Xiuzhu didn't care and said directly: "My concubine and apprentice want to see what the pleasure boats in Suzhou and Hangzhou are like, so I brought them here to broaden their horizons and talk to Miss Su at the same time."
