Chapter 143: The Post House

"According to the mouth of the marquis, go out of the city to do business, and open the city gate quickly. "There are about seven or eight people in the secret guard, holding the token of Prince Shun's Mansion, and said to the young general guarding the door.

The young general had only seen the token of the government on weekdays, but where had he seen the palace, so he hurriedly opened the city gate.

The "squeak" city gate is heavy, and it looks particularly harsh in the quiet night.

When seven or eight people saw that the city gate had been opened, they kept going, kicked up a cloud of dust, and rushed towards the post station outside the city.

Shuntianfu is the nearest capital city, and there are more than a dozen large and small post houses outside the city.

"Quick, let's split up, and we'll take care of each other in pairs. If you find a clue, you must act rashly and report to the Hou Ye that he is dealing with it."

The leader of the dark guard said, they were all wearing black hats, and they couldn't see their faces clearly. But the voices were all young people.

Zhao Wenjie and Shumin had dinner, and Xiao Er consciously came over to help them clean up the scraps.

"Come here. Zhao Wenjie saw the shopkeeper and hooked his finger at him, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Guest officer, what else do you have to order?" asked the shopkeeper.

"Did you say that he and the city gate would be open at night?" Zhao Wenjie said.

"Guest, you are really joking, this gate closes on time when it arrives, and it will not open until midnight, I have been here for several years, every day. Xiao Er replied.

"Then let's make a bet, you go to the city gate and keep an eye on it, if the city gate is not opened tonight, the ten taels of silver are yours, if the city gate is open tonight, you can get another ten taels in addition to the ten taels of silver, how about it?"

Zhao took out a small piece of silver of ten taels, shook it in front of him, and said.

"Guest officer, don't be a little pastime."

Isn't it just that you have accidentally interrupted your good deeds? How can you send me to the city gate to blow a cold wind all night? The wind in a winter night is not ordinarily cold.

He decided that Zhao Wenjie was deliberately entertaining him because he interrupted his good deeds.

"Rest assured, the gates will be open tonight. You just have to take care of it for me. Zhao threw him the silver and commanded, "If the gate is opened, there will be a reward." ”

The shopkeeper took the ten taels of silver, and there was some entanglement in his eyes.

Forget it, for these ten taels of silver, it is worth blowing a cold wind all night. He didn't think that Zhao Wenjie could pinch him, he must have deliberately rectified him in order to take revenge on him.

After leaving the room, putting on a half-worn thick cotton jacket and carrying a dim lamp, the shopkeeper walked towards the city gate.

No matter what the purpose of the guest officer is, since he has taken the money, he has to do good things. In the cold wind, the shopkeeper touched the silver in his arms that had been warmed by body temperature, and the corners of his mouth showed some relieved smiles.

For these ten taels of silver, he has to earn half a year.

Not long after he reached the foot of the city gate, the city gate really opened, and seven or eight men with stalks and hats rushed out of the city, galloping towards the post station not far away.

"It's really strange, this guest officer can really pinch it!" He has been here for so many years, and he has never seen the matter of opening the city gate after the curfew.

"You have to tell the guest officer quickly. Thinking of what Zhao Wenjie said, if the city gate will be opened, there will be another reward, his mood is very excited.

"Guest officer, guest officer, the city gate is really open" Xiao Er ran to his post house, gasping and reporting to Zhao Wenjie, "The city gate is open, and seven or eight men on horseback came out, coming towards us." ”

"Well done. Zhao Weijie casually threw out a silver ingot, which looked like about fifteen taels, and the shopkeeper hurriedly caught it, for fear that it would fall to the ground and hit it.

It would be nice if there were a few more guests like this, thinking of the old mother who was not in good health at home, Xiao Er thought happily in his heart. But he also knew that this was just a thought, although his post house was also outside Shuntianfu City, but in all the post houses, it was indeed a poor kind, and those with a little status would not invest here.

"Are you here? much earlier than I thought!" Zhao Wenjie habitually touched his left thumb, there used to be a jade wrench there, but now it is a little empty.

"Who's coming?" Shu Min asked as he looked a little solemn.

"No one. He reached out to help her pull a strand of hair from her face behind her ear, and said, "If I sue you, in fact, people have been looking for you all the way, what do you think?"

"Someone is looking for me all the time? Hehe, you mean someone from the government. I'm so big and lost a person, it's normal for them to report to the official. Besides, are you afraid of them?"

Shumin knew that Li Zheng and they would definitely not ignore her, but she didn't know that Li Zheng still didn't know, and it was not the people in the village who found out that she was missing, but Yuntai's father, the famous Marquis of Chu of the Apocalypse Kingdom.

"If you are worried that it will affect you, why don't I come forward and explain it to them, just say that I entered Beijing with you voluntarily, and I believe they have nothing to say. Shumin thought for a moment and added.

Seeing that she has now begun to defend herself, Zhao Wenjie's heart warms.

"With your words, I am not afraid of any trouble. "But will Chu Hou give up lightly?

If you make an ordinary woman well, but your worth is such that many people will do anything to take you away or even kill you.

"I'm going to go out, you stay in your room later, and you don't want to go anywhere until I come back." Zhao Wenjie took Shumin's hand and said.

"Okay, there you go. Shumin stood on tiptoe after speaking, kissed him lightly on the lips, and pushed him out the door.

The door slammed shut.

"Hey, I said I'd go out later, I didn't say I'd go out now. Zhao Wenjie was coldly pushed out of the door by her, stunned for a moment, and patted the door and said.

"It's all about going out, finish things early, and come back early. Shumin replied in the room.

"I'll clean you up when I come back!", Zhao touched the corner of his kissed mouth, smiled bitterly, and walked towards the outside of the post station with his hands in his hands.

In front of the inn, there is a small simple restaurant, it is already late at night, and there are still one or two customers in the restaurant drinking small wine.

"Have you ever seen a man and a woman come to join the stack?" the black-clothed dark guard took out a portrait of Shu Min and asked Xiao Er.

"This" Xiao Er recognized at a glance that the woman on the portrait was the woman in the guest officer's room just now, and his heart suddenly swooped out.

"I don't know what this woman has done?" took people's money, Xiao Er still had a good impression of the guest officer, so he asked more.

"So you've seen it, and which room do they live in?"

"They and they" Xiao Er said with a sigh, but he didn't expect that his mouth would arouse the suspicion of the official, and he couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth.

"Search!" Seeing that Xiao Er was silent, the official was relieved and immediately ordered.

"It's just a little secret guard, so bold!" Zhao Wenjie saw this scene as soon as he walked to the front hall.

"Lord Zhao, you are really here!" the leader of the dark guard clasped his fists and saluted Zhao Wenjie, but there was no respect on his lips.

"The dog raised by the Marquis of Chu, the nose is really smart enough, and he actually found this place so quickly. Zhao Wenjie was not angry, and ridiculed each other.

"Lord Zhao, one of the two heroes of the capital, is really better than seeing it, and he loves the pink beauty as rumored, and even when he goes out to perform official duties, he doesn't forget to rob a beauty and come back, but Lord Zhao, let me remind you that the crime of kidnapping good people is not light, how do you explain it to Hou Ye later?"

"Master Hou hasn't been reinstated yet, right? No wonder he is so idle, he takes care of these small things about sesame mung beans. Hey, it looks like I have to talk to the emperor well, and just let him go to be a government and county order. Zhao Wenjie said contemptuously.

"Lord Zhao, you better worry about yourself first! Hou Ye is waiting for you in the city!" the leader of the dark guard gritted his teeth and made a gesture of please.

Zhao Wenjie raised his feet and left, without even giving him a look, the leader of the secret guard was extremely angry but had no way to vent, so he had to follow him angrily.

The official level crushed people to death, not to mention that he was only Chu Hou's personal secret guard, and there was no product at all. On weekdays, they only act in a low-key manner, and if it weren't for the inconvenience of dispatching the power of the government this time, it would not be their turn to do such a thing as searching the post house.

When Zhao Wenzhuo came, the junior two were already hiding far away, and when they left, the junior second breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered in his heart, "No wonder that guest officer is generous, it turns out that he is still a big official!"

Thinking that a big official had come to live in his inn, Xiao Er's heart jumped, and he wondered if he wanted to make a flag tomorrow, and wrote: Lord Zhao came to live here. Hang outside.

Immediately, he suppressed this idea again, making money is small, and life is big. This Lord Zhao seems to be very talkative, but the momentum on his body is compelling, and he may also be a difficult lord to serve.

"Little two, check out. At this time, a guest sitting in the corner waved his hand at him and shouted.

"Hey, I'm coming, I'm benefiting two hundred lines, thank you. Xiao Er's eyes swept over the dishes on the table and said.

The guest took out a dime of silver from his arms, which looked like two taels, and handed it to Xiao Er. His knuckles are slender and give him a very clean feel.

"Sue sΓΉ my lord lives in that room, you don't have to look for this silver. ”

"This" Xiao Er was a little embarrassed, what's the matter, did they all send themselves silver today?

"Don't be embarrassed, I'm a friend of the adult, I wanted to say hello to him, but who knew that he was asked away. The guest explained with a smile that his smile was gentle and made people unconsciously feel good about him.

"Well, he's in the innermost room on the second floor. Xiao Er intuitively felt that he was a good person, so he told Zhao Wenjie's room.

"Thank you. He stuffed the silver to Xiao Er, stood up and walked towards the backyard of the post house.

"So you live here, too?

The breeze blew the messy hair that slipped down his forehead, and in the dim light, the beauty moles at the corners of his slender eyes loomed. (To be continued.) )
