Xiao Wu snorted and said mockingly: "You didn't mean to calculate us? Do you dare to say that it was not intentional, I guess you must have seen the money on me and that is why you did such a despicable thing. ”

Thinking that he was chased by a group of women, old people and children for a mile or two, Xiao Wu felt very aggrieved now, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was all old, weak, sick and disabled, he really didn't want to be so aggrieved.

The man who was questioned sighed and said: "We didn't know that you had silver on you before, we only knew that we heard the news from the family at the head of the village, this world is very chaotic, everyone is trying to fill their stomachs, benevolence, righteousness and morality, who cares, can't afford to eat, and who cares if they are dying of hunger." ”

Thyme didn't feel good when she heard this.

The war between Southern Xia and Western Xia has been going on for many years, and the people have long been overwhelmed by taxes.

Fighting is really not a good thing, Thyme gently patted Xiao Wu's shoulder and said: "Tie them all up and send them to the front government, as for how to deal with it, it depends on the government, you write a letter to the border gate, my father will thoroughly investigate this matter, and these deserters must be cleaned up, otherwise if you encounter this, you will not be able to live in peace within a radius of ten miles." ”

Ordinary people are these opponents who have become soldiers, and even if they resist, they don't have the courage to resist.

Xiao Wu took out the rope from the carriage, then tied up all four of them, and threw them all on the ox cart behind, and Thyme also drove the carriage in front of him.

After walking for about an hour, Thyme and Xiao Wu arrived in town.

The sky had gradually darkened. The town doesn't seem to be very lively, at least now it's just getting dark, and there is no one in sight on the streets.

Thyme found an inn and asked for two rooms to stay, while Xiao Wu sent people to the official mansion.

Thyme waited in the inn, but after waiting for more than an hour, she didn't see Xiao Wu come back, and she couldn't help worrying, Xiao Wu couldn't come back for more than an hour, something must have happened, Thyme had such a premonition.

Fortunately, there was no luggage, and Thyme went downstairs directly.

It was quiet inside the inn. When Thyme came to the inn just now. There were still people eating down there in the inn, but now there was no one down there, and there was no shopkeeper even on the counter.

Such an abnormality, even thyme is stupid and can detect the abnormality in the middle. I was so worried. Thyme cautiously went downstairs. It's too quiet downstairs.

Thyme always felt that since she entered this town, everything had become a little abnormal.

There was a dim candle light on the counter of the inn.

Thyme walked to the door and pulled the door. But it can't be pulled.

Is the door locked from the outside?

Thyme felt even more bad when she thought of such a situation.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard from the street.

"Da Da Da ......"

Thyme retreated to the edge of the table.

Then he looked at the door, and his intuition told Thyme that the sound of horses' hooves was coming from the inn.

The inn was extremely quiet, and Thyme even wondered if she was the only one left in the inn.

At this moment, there was the sound of unlocking the door.

With a "click", Thyme only heard the lock on the door be opened, and at that moment the door was also opened.

Thyme looked closely at the person who opened the door, although the light was a little dim, Thyme still recognized the person who opened the door, and it was actually the shopkeeper of the inn before.

The shopkeeper also seemed a little surprised to see Thyme sitting on a stool.

But immediately, the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth was hooked.

The shopkeeper entered the room, and the shopkeeper was followed by two other men in official uniforms, and the two were also a little stunned when they saw thyme.

"She's the one you said was with that man?" The official's voice was a little cold, and the shopkeeper smiled flatteringly: "Yes, official, I saw with my own eyes that the man who was caught by you before was with her, and when she opened the room, it was still the silver given by the man, and there must be a relationship between them." ”

Thyme finally understood, Xiao Wu was arrested, and the shopkeeper also informed.

The only thing they had to do with coming here was the few people they had met in the village before, so Thyme naturally thought of something crucial, maybe the few people who were sent to the government had collusion with the government, as well as the burly man who had fled before.

Thyme didn't speak, but looked at the three of them quietly.

The shopkeeper smiled and continued: "There must be a relationship between the officials, I dare to guarantee 100% that there is absolutely a relationship." ”

The shopkeeper looked like he was swearing, and Thyme was a little cold in his heart.

Looking at these people now, they all look mercenary, and on the one hand, I feel a little cool in my heart, and on the other hand, I feel very sad.

The official cha looked at thyme, and then the two stepped forward and asked, "What do you have to do with Xiao Wu?" ”

Thyme said calmly, "Why should I tell you? ”

Seeing that Thyme was talking so arrogantly, the official said "Yo he", and then one of the officials with a mustache turned around the table where Thyme was sitting, and then said: "Little lady, don't rush like this, you are now in our territory, no matter if you were a tiger or a cat before, you have to be docile to me when you get here." ”

Thyme sneered: "What if I'm not docile? What can you do to me? And this world is not the king's land, don't say whose realm this is, even if it's your realm, don't forget that you are in Nanxia. ”

The eight-character Hu official laughed haha, and was not angry because of Thyme's mouth, he looked at Thyme mockingly and asked: "You have a temper, no wonder Biaohu said that you are very spicy, now you can understand it, it's really like this, little lady, I tell you that this is Huluo Town, do you know what Huluo Town is?" ”

"I don't know." A faint two words count as an answer.

Thyme is also telling the truth, this road is the first time she has taken it, because this time she has to pick up Xiahou Yuchen first, so this road is also temporarily planned.

The eight-character Hu Guancha felt a little uncomfortable when he got such an answer, and looked at the thyme again and said: "The little lady doesn't say much, if you want to save your companion, follow us honestly, everything is very good, if you don't follow us, just wait to collect the body with your companion." ”

Xiao Wu hasn't come back for so long, Thyme was already very worried, and now when she heard the official say Xiao Wu, Thyme had already guessed in her heart that Xiao Wu might have really been arrested.

Thyme didn't refuse, but lowered her eight-character beard and said, "In this case, I'll follow you for a trip, and there's nothing." ”

Anyway, there is nothing to bring, there is nothing of value on the carriage, and the carriage is parked in the inn, so Thyme is not worried that the shopkeeper will not admit it when the time comes.

The official didn't bother Thyme much, walked out with Thyme, and then asked Thyme to get into a green-skinned carriage.

The carriage was very ordinary, Thyme sat in it and felt very uncomfortable, lifting the curtain and looking outside, Thyme was sure that the carriage was heading towards the yamen.

The carriage walked for a short time and arrived at Yamen, which was originally not a big town, and even if it was walking, it would not be long to walk.

After getting out of the carriage, Thyme took a closer look around.

There is nothing wrong with the yamen, there are two red lanterns on both sides of the yamen.

Thyme followed the official into the yamen.

Everything went smoothly.

Coming to the back hall of the yamen, thyme was arranged in a room.

The room is supposed to be used to receive guests, and when you enter the room, there is a picture of a white crane hanging on the wall, and there are many vases and porcelain in the room.

I sat for a quarter of an hour or so, during which no one came to entertain thyme, and thyme didn't care, just waited quietly.

Finally, footsteps were heard outside, and then a young man dressed in an official mansion walked in.

The man has a literary atmosphere all over his body, and he feels very gentle.

Thyme frowned and glanced at the man, expecting that the man should be the official of this yamen, Thyme did not stand up, but still sit.

The eight-character bearded official behind the man in the official uniform couldn't help it, and when he saw that Thyme hadn't stood up and saluted, he suddenly said angrily: "The little lady didn't get up to salute when she saw our master, you are such a big shelf." ”

Thyme sat firmly, looked at the man in official uniform with a smile and said: "Your lord asked me to salute, his identity is not enough, even if Emperor Chongzhen is here, we are all on an equal footing, let's say, what is the purpose of you catching Xiao Wu and bringing me here." ”

When Thyme caught a few men on the road, she said something at that time, and the information revealed in the middle, Thyme believed that the three men lying on the ground at that time had heard it.

In other words, those men should know the identities of Thyme and Xiao Wu, but the other party still wants to attack them.

Thyme is not stupid, and it is naturally clear that there must be a cat in the middle.

The man in the official uniform was not angry, and sat on the chair next to Thyme and said with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, you should be the youngest daughter of General Baili Xiaobaili, Thyme, and the famous Baili doctor in the border pass." ”

was revealed by the man's identity, Thyme was not surprised, but just nodded to indicate that what the man said was correct.

The man continued: "I have heard of you, and I was also taken care of by you when I was at the border, if it weren't for your secret medicine, maybe I would have died, after all, you are still my savior." ”

When the man said this, there was not a hint of gratitude in his tone.

Thyme could naturally hear this wrong word.

The man continued: "I have no choice but to arrest Doctor Baili and your people, your people have hurt my brother, how can I sit idly by, so if you want me to release people, naturally you have to show a little benefit." ”

This is a change of direction to want to blackmail her, which Thyme knows very well. (To be continued......)
