Chapter 308: Interception and Killing
"Lady, it's the innkeeper's daughter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Holly exclaimed under his breath.
Yingniang also opened the window in surprise and looked, "Lady, it's really her." “
Mu Jin was silent for a moment, and ordered, "Stop!"
The coachman pulled the car over to the side of the road, and after a while, the shadow behind him had already caught up, it was Hong'er, the daughter of the innkeeper.
Hong'er saw that the carriage stopped, knowing that she was waiting for herself, she used hard under her feet and ran faster, and when she stood in front of the carriage, she was already out of breath, and her thin and pale face was flushed with a hint of uneven wheezing because of running.
"Looking for me?" Mu Jin raised his eyebrows.
Hong'er nodded heavily, but because she couldn't breathe, she could only put one hand on her waist and pat her chest with the other hand to breathe desperately, and she couldn't even speak.
"Get in the car and talk. Mu Jin glanced at Holly, and Holly stepped forward and pulled Hong'er into the carriage with understanding.
The coachman immediately drove back on the road, and now it is not suitable for them to stay in Jinzhai County, and the sooner they leave, the better.
Hong'er, who got into the carriage, waited for her breath to settle down a little, and then looked at Mu Jin anxiously, "Lady, you can't, you can't go west." ”
There was silence in the carriage where a word was shouted.
"Oh, why can't you go west?"
Hong'er pursed her white lips, "Lady, you don't know the situation in our Jinzhai County, today you offended the generals of the Xiang Army, they won't let the lady go, and, and they ....."
When Hong'er said this, she paused, her eyes fell on Mu Jin's white jade-like face, and her lips trembled, "The lady is very good-looking, they, they will definitely not let the lady leave." ”
Yingniang's face changed suddenly, and her eyes fell on Hong'er's cheeks.
Hong'er is about fifteen or sixteen years old, although her face is thin and pale, but it is difficult to hide her delicate posture, double eyelids, and big eyes make people feel pity.
No wonder the brutes had their eyes on her.
Hong'er felt Yingniang's scrutiny, her face turned two points paler, she lowered her head slightly, and her expression was embarrassed.
Yingniang was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she quickly withdrew her gaze.
"The lady probably doesn't know the situation in our Jinzhai," Hong'er bit her lip, "The three people who died are from the county."
's garrison commander, who is used to acting rampant and domineering in the county on weekdays. ”
"Wherever they like food, they eat it casually, and they take whatever they like about good things, and they take it wherever they like, and they like the girls of that family........."
Hong'er paused, her head lowered by two points, "You also saw my situation. ”
"As a garrison, guarding the safety of the people, acting so outrageously, the county commander doesn't care?" Luo Xu angrily slapped a few small points.
Hong'er shook her head, a touch of coldness appeared in her eyes, "Lord County Order, hmph, it's not that no one has gone to sue, the daughter of the owner of the teahouse next door to us was taken by that person last month, and the teahouse had no business, and finally sent her daughter away!"
"It's not that no one has complained, it's just that the county magistrate said that this is also voluntary, and there is no evidence and physical evidence, and they can't control the garrison generals!"
"Complicit!" Luo Xuqi's face turned red.
"That's why your mom and dad are watching you......" Holly's eyes widened.
Hong'er's eyes were red, and her eyebrows were lowered, "I am an orphan they picked up! The general said that if he didn't obey them, his own son would have no place to study tomorrow." ”
There was a touch of sympathy in Yingniang's eyes, she was afraid of the evil forces, and she was not biological, so she naturally didn't care too much about Hong'er's life and death.
"Don't talk about me, I'm here to tell you that the commander of the Xiang Army, Master Gao, is not a good person, and the generals of the garrison are clearly collecting money, and the commander of the Xiang Army is secretly collecting money. ”
Hong'er put away the sadness on her face and looked up at Mu Jin anxiously.
"There is a Fuhu Mountain in the west of the city, where bandits are often infested, many passing merchants have been robbed, and the lady walks from the west, it is too unsafe!"
Bandits, Luo Xu and Yingniang's faces turned pale.
Only Mu Jin and Holly had their faces as usual.
"How can there be bandits here?" Mu Jin frowned slightly.
Jinzhai County belongs to Jiangcheng Mansion, Jiangcheng Mansion belongs to Jingzhou Road, and Yizhou Road is different from the barrenness, Jingzhou Road's economy has always developed well, although it is not as rich as Jinling and Yuhang, but it is also reasonable in Dazhou.
How can there be bandits in such a place?
"Didn't the garrison and the Xiang army send troops to encircle and suppress it?" Luo Xu couldn't help but ask.
Hong'er looked disdainful, "In addition to playing tricks in front of the people, they will be the opponents of the bandits, and they have been there a few times in pretence, and they haven't even seen the face of the bandits." ”
There was silence in the carriage.
Hong'er looked at Mu Jin anxiously, "Lord Gao won't let you leave, if you encounter bandits again, it will be too dangerous to attack from both sides, so let's change the route as soon as possible." ”
"Lady, why don't we try to change our route?" Ying Niang looked at Mu Jin with a worried face.
"I'm afraid it's too late!" Mu Jin pursed the corners of his mouth.
Yingniang was puzzled, why was it too late? They had just left the West City Gate now, how could it be late? It was still too late to change the route.
Mu Jin pointed at Hong'er, "The inn is surrounded by officials, what does it mean that she can come out and deliver a letter to us?"
The eyes of all three fell on Hong'er's face.
Hong'er's face turned pale, and then she blushed in horror, her hands waved again and again, but her expression was shocked, "I got out of the dog hole at home, no one should see it, right?"
"Then how did you know that we were going to the west of the city?" Luo Xu took the lead in asking the question in his heart.
There are four city gates in Jinzhai County, and she is locked up in the Tokugawa Inn, how can she guess that they are going to the west city gate?
How did she know? She happened to hear the officials talking.
Hong'er's face froze, and then turned pale, "Lady, I, I ........."
Mu Jin shook his head, "They are not afraid of you coming to report the news, which shows that no matter how I go out from that city gate, the result will be the same!"
Hong'er lowered her head in frustration, but she didn't expect that what she brought was useless news.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and raised her head, "Lady, take me away!"
Mu Jin frowned.
Hong'er knelt down in the carriage and pointed at Holly, "Although I didn't see my sister's face clearly last night, I know that she saved me, it was the lady who saved me, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would only have a corpse left now." ”
Although she was thanked by others, Holly was heartbroken, was her disguise so unsuccessful?
Hong'er kowtowed heavily, "I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I was picked up by my godfather and godmother later........."
She paused, not mentioning her life after being picked up, "After yesterday, I can be regarded as repaying their nurturing grace, I am willing to sell myself and serve by the lady's side to repay the lady's great kindness." ”
With that, he kowtowed heavily.
The carriage fell silent, and the eyes of several people fell on Mu Jin.
Especially Yingniang, she sympathized with Hong'er very much and hoped that Mu Jin could keep her.
The carriage came to a halt at this moment.
"Trouble is coming!" Mu Jin pointed ahead.
