Chapter 57: The Fairy in the Painting (3)

Ignoring Ling Suxue's feelings, the official pulled her hard towards the town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon they were drowned in the bustling crowd.

And Jing Liqiu, who had been standing outside the town and had not left, saw Ling Suxue being taken away, and his feet couldn't help but chase after him. He rushed through the crowd and chased after Ling Suxue's slender figure, and suddenly turned a corner, but he had lost it.

After a while, Jing Liqiu returned to the entrance of the town, standing in the endless crowd, looking left and right, looking for the strange man who had just brought Ling Suxue back to the town, and inadvertently glanced at the portrait posted on the bulletin board, and opened his mouth to be stunned.

"That's not a prisoner's notice, it's a portrait of Lingsuxue!" Jing Liqiu muttered to himself as he pulled it into the bulletin board, and was surprised to see the line of words under the portrait.

A man with a black beard and a long face next to him looked at the obsessive Jing Liqiu and said, "What? Young man, do you want that hundred taels of gold too? I'm telling you, you're a step late, and a hundred taels of gold are already famous! ”

Jing Liqiu turned his head to look at the black-bearded man in a daze, and Mu Mu said, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's that the fairy on this painting has been found, and there is no part of yours!" After that, the black-bearded man brushed his hand at the audience around him: "Let's disperse, we don't have a chance!" ”

As a result, the crowd of onlookers scattered and disappeared into the flow of people on the road.

Jing Liqiu tore off the portrait on the bulletin board, chased after the black-bearded man, pulled his clothes and asked, "This brother, please stay, can you tell me what this notice means?" ”

The blackbearded man smiled indifferently: "Young man, you are a foreigner who just came, right?"

"Yes."

"Recently, there have been two things in the city that have been rumored, one thing is that the bully Jiang in the next village was beheaded, and the other thing is that the emperor met a fairy in his dream and wanted to find an identical woman in reality and take her as a concubine. Therefore, the portrait of the fairy posted on the bulletin board is the fairy that the emperor thinks about day and night. ”

When Jing Liqiu heard this, it was unbelievable that there was such a ridiculous thing in the world.

Ling Suxue is a fairy, how can she have anything to do with the king of the West?

It's a ridiculous joke!

"Does that brother know where the woman who was found has been taken now?" Jing Liqiu asked anxiously.

Blackbeard was surprised: "Young man, you are not small, the woman that the emperor likes, you dare to ask so much?" ”

"She is my friend, not a woman favored by the emperor, there must be a misunderstanding in it!"

Blackbeard grinned: "Haha, I just said that Feng Ergouzi was not so lucky, it turned out to be an ordinary woman with a similar appearance." ”

"Who is Feng Ergouzi?" Jing Liqiu was puzzled.

"It's the lucky one who got a hundred taels of gold!"

"And where does he live?"

"I live in the third-to-last house in Sangou Alley!"

After talking, Jing Liqiu ran towards Sangou Lane according to Blackbeard's instructions.

As the name suggests, there are three stinky drainage ditches in the alley.

Jing Liqiu jumped over three ditches in a row, came to the penultimate house in the alley, and knocked on the closed door.

The person who opened the door was a hunchbacked old lady with a wrinkled face.

"Auntie, is Feng Ergouzi's home here?"

"yes...... You look for my grandson...... Do what? The old lady was not able to speak easily, and said tremblingly.

"I'm in a bit of a hurry to find him, is he home now?"

He ...... Absence. ”

"And where is he going?"

"I ...... too I don't know. After that, the old lady closed the door unceremoniously, for fear that her belongings would be spied on.

Jing Liqiu sat at the door, leaning against the cold wall, waiting with empty eyes, holding a crumpled portrait in his hand.

It wasn't until it was dark, the stomach was empty, and a young figure came to the end of the alley.

"Are you Feng Er's dog?" Jing Liqiu immediately got up and greeted him.

The young man raised his eyebrows: "How do you know my nickname?" ”

"A black-bearded man told me at the entrance of the town in the morning that you handed over the woman in this portrait to the official!" Jing Liqiu opened the portrait in his hand and said impatiently.

The young man didn't need to look at the portrait to know what the other party was going to do, so he waved his hand: "If you want to find that woman, you should go to the government to find it, what are you doing to me, it's a waste of time." ”

"I asked when I came, the people who took Su Xue away are not from the government, only you have seen them."

The young man touched his chin with his hand and thought, "They are indeed not from the government, but they are people related to the government, you can go to the government and ask!" Ordinary people like me don't know about the bad things in the government! ”

Jing Liqiu's eyes sank: "Okay, I'll go find the government." ”

"Gollum ......"

A muffled voice of hunger came.

"Haha! This boy, you are hungry, and you are so worried about that girl. The young man laughed.

Jing Liqiu was solemn: "She is my friend, I can't let my friend get into trouble." ”

"Dilemma? People go to the palace to enjoy the glory and wealth, and many folk women can't imagine the blessings in their lifetimes, and that girl is within reach. ”

"You don't understand, she's not fit to go to the palace! She had to go her own way! Jing Liqiu gritted excitedly and clenched his hands into fists.

The young man was stunned: "You care about her so much, aren't you her friend?" ”

"It's a friend!" Jing Liqiu shouted.

The young man shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, I've seen a lot of men like you pretending to be noble, anyway, it's your business what you have to do with it, I'm going to go home now and wash my feet, and then sleep beautifully." ”

Jing Liqiu was counted down and sullen.

The man opened the door and entered the house, and after a while he walked to the door again, and shouted, "Childe, I have bread in my house, give you two pieces." ”

Jing Liqiu was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, the young man was really holding two palm-sized pancakes in his hands.

When I saw the baked cakes, my stomach screamed even more unhappily.

The young man walked over with a smile and stuffed it into Jing Liqiu's hand: "Eat quickly, although you are a little naΓ―ve, but it's not strange, don't take my harsh words just now to heart!" Although I, Feng Ergouzi, am not a gentleman with a personable demeanor like you, I am also a temperamental person who can't be hidden. So don't be surprised."

Jing Liqiu suddenly changed his opinion of the other party, held the cake in his hand, and was grateful: "Thank you, I have the opportunity, I invite you to dinner." ”

"No, you don't! Two pieces of bread are nothing, go to the government to find your friend! With that, Feng Ergouzi waved away and closed the door.

Jing Liqiu stood in the clear and bright moonlight, chewing the bread in his hand as he walked, and before he knew it, he was no longer hungry.

At the same time, he came and walked to the door of the prefect's house.

After some waiting and reception, Jing Liqiu finally met the prefect who had just returned from the Yamen.

This prefect is honest and informal, and treats the people equally, so he is polite when he talks to an ordinary person like Jing Liqiu who has no status.

Jing Liqiu was embarrassed, and felt that he was very abrupt to come here. (To be continued.) )
