Chapter 567: Bring it back
There was a "bang", and the movement was very loud, not only Lu Shuo and his party, but also the bystanders in the temple who were swallowing saliva were also startled, and they turned their heads to look.
I saw that half of the carriage was torn, and the situation inside was clearly visible, and there were five or six young girls tied up, their faces covered with tears, and their mouths were still stuffed with strips of cloth, so that they could not speak at all.
And next to these young women, squatting on the big man with a meaty face who had just entered, as if he didn't expect this to happen suddenly, the knife in his hand fell to the ground, and when he reacted to pick it up, the guard next to the carriage had already kicked it over, kicking the knife far away.
Sure enough, there was a problem!
At this time, without Lu Shuo's orders, the other guards put down the cakes, walked quickly to the side of the carriage, and cut the two coachmen dressed as backs in three or two strokes, and firmly trapped them with the ropes on the carriage.
This action only happened for a moment, and the people in the temple were stunned, and even the women in the car forgot to cry for a while.
"My lord, what are you going to do with these people?"
When it was confirmed, one of the guards stepped forward with a fist and asked.
The two coachmen were struggling, but when they heard this "adult", they immediately forgot to move, and the other people in the temple were also confused.
Could it be that this is Lord Lu, who has been rumored to be in the blue sky before.
"Let these women go first. ”
Lu Shuo commanded, and said to the frightened girls: "You still need to go back to the county government with this official, but if you are abducted, if people find out, I am afraid that it will hinder your reputation, so it is better to be quiet on the road." ”
How could these girls disagree, they nodded immediately when they heard this, and the guards went up to untie them.
"As for these people......"
Lu Shuo turned his head to look at the onlookers in the temple, including the man who refused to change the fruit just now.
"Tie them up together and take them back to the county office. ”
As soon as they heard this, the dozen or so people immediately panicked, and one of them said, "My lord, I just came to take shelter from the rain, and I haven't done anything wrong! Aren't you Lu Qingtian? You can't grab people indiscriminately." ”
The people next to him also chimed in.
"Shut up. ”
Lu Shuo stood up, although he was only dressed in regular clothes, he couldn't suppress the momentum of his body, he glanced at the men in the temple, and said: "There was such a big movement just now, but you turned a blind eye, it's really hateful, this official wants you to go back for interrogation, is there a problem?"
Without waiting for them to continue their quibbles, he motioned for the guards to come forward, and the men only made noise for a while, and then they all covered their mouths and were speechless.
The place in the carriage is not small, in addition to those women, it can fit half more people, Lu Shuo saw that the rain had stopped outside, so he signaled the guard, and the guard rode out of the door, and after a while, he got a carriage back.
The girls were moved to the new carriage, and the rest were stuffed into another carriage, so Lu Shuo did not delay, got on the horse and went directly out of the temple.
On the way back, Lu Xun asked him, "Are you afraid that those people will leak the news?"
Lu Shuo squinted his eyes for a while before he said: "Not only that, looking at the way they are accustomed to it, they should know something, and it's not sure if the two coachmen can force them to speak, these people may be a breakthrough." ”
These two carriages plus a few horses were not small, and they attracted a lot of attention as soon as they went out, and in a place where Lu Shuo and the others could not see, a person dressed as a beggar ran away quickly, and finally stopped at a thatched hut, and saw a person dressed as a steward, regardless of the discomfort of panting on his body, and opened his mouth to tell the scene he saw.
Originally, from the beginning of Lu Shuo's entourage to the south of the city, the Yu family was vigilant, and this time sent a lot of people to inquire secretly, and after listening to the beggar finish talking about what happened in the temple, the steward frowned slightly and then loosened again, and said: "I know, Ah Qing, reward him with a piece of silver." ”
The beggar took the money and went away happily, and Ah Qing asked the steward, "Aren't you worried?"
The steward smiled, sat back in his chair, and said, "What is there to worry about, the one that should have been withdrawn was removed as early as the end of last year, and now this, I think it is a real human trafficker, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
Ah Qing nodded as if he understood whether he understood or not, and when he saw that the steward's tea had been drunk, he stepped forward again to continue.
In the evening, Lu Shuo and his entourage rushed back to the yamen.
The two coachmen were imprisoned in the prison, and the other dozen or so men were locked in two rooms, carefully guarded by the officials, as for the girls, Lu Shuo went directly to the backyard after he came back, and asked Qing's mother to come over, and asked her to clean up a courtyard for these girls to rest temporarily.
Qing's mother was a little surprised, but when she saw Lu Shuo's busy appearance, she didn't ask much, and led a few maids to clean up.
Lu Shuo first went back to the study to freshen up his body, and then went back to the room to see Yuan Wenyi.
The two hadn't seen each other for a few days, but Lu Shuo felt that her belly had grown a lot bigger, and seeing Yuan Wenyi standing up with a surprised face, Lu Shuo hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to support her and pressed her to the Luohan bed.
"How are the kids, these days?
Yuan Wenyi handed him a cup of hot tea, and smiled when he heard the words: "It's still in the stomach, how can it be troublesome, but be obedient." On the contrary, you have only been out for a few days, and you have lost some weight. ”
After that, he touched his face, a little distressed.
Isn't it just thin!
However, Lu Shuo didn't feel anything, he took the tea, but he refused to let go, and just held her hand and drank a cup of tea.
At this time, when he got down to business, Lu Shuo told him what happened on the road, and said: "Place them in our yard, and when they go out in the future, they won't lose their reputation." ”
Yuan Wenyi is a woman herself, so she naturally understands the importance of reputation to women, so she naturally has no objection after hearing it, and said directly: "Don't worry, I will arrange this matter." ”
At this time, Qing's mother knocked on the door outside, said that the yard had been set up, and asked them if they wanted to eat first.
Lu Shuo looked helpless when he heard this.
Mother Qing is using him as a thief to guard against! I don't look at how big Yuan Wenyi's belly is, if he does it at this time, it will be no different from a beast.
Seeing Yuan Wenyi covering his mouth and smiling on the side, Lu Shuo shook his head and let the people outside come in.
The maids rushed in, and after a while, a table of dishes was placed, and Lu Shuo looked at the dishes, all of which he liked to eat.
The young couple finished eating, and Lu Shuo was not in a hurry to try the case, but he just remembered something, so he called Qingquan over and asked him to go to the front yard to ask the guards a few words.
When he left, Yuan Wenyi felt a little strange, so he asked, "Why do you have to be detained separately, is there anything wrong with this matter?"
