Chapter 19: The Wanted Warrant Has Arrived
In the next half a month, Zhao Ruoxin was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink water, she went out early and returned late every day, and kept lecturing next to each other according to the courses planned on the schedule.
It just so happened that there was no bad news from the county government in the past few days, and she didn't bother to go over to find trouble by herself, since Chu Fengniang had distributed the silver on the street, she didn't see any people come to the door to block it, it seems that this is not a bad thing at all, Zhao Ruoxin is also happy.
Early this morning, on the open ground on the east side, I heard Zhao Ruoxin's lecture voice coming.
This kind of lecture is different from before her travel, because the subject of the lecture is completely illiterate, it can only be passed on by word of mouth, and even the simple blackboard is omitted.
Today's first class is a class to teach the processing of fired lime, the class is a small class of 100 people, and the rest of the people are open stones and kilns.
She stood in front of the crowd and said loudly: "Lime, that is, what everyone calls stone forging, the ancients said: make a kiln to burn it, a layer of charcoal, a layer of white stone, make a fire from below, layer by layer ** and scatter it, this thing has already been in our Darong Dynasty, I believe everyone is no stranger at all, today we have to learn how to process the fired lime into gypsum, gypsum..."
Zhao Ruoxin was talking here, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old man shouted loudly on the official road of Yuping Mountain: "Rennan... Renna... Faith, your faith..."
Zhao Ruoxin's lecture was interrupted, and she glanced back at the man who was rushing over at the end of her vision, she frowned slightly and asked, "My letter?" Who will write to me? โ
Is it difficult that the little idiot has arrived in the capital? Miss your sister?
Zhao Ruoxin's face was happy, and she hurriedly stepped forward: "Hurry up and bring it to me to see, this little idiot, it's not in vain that I hurt him..."
"Hehe..." The man who ran over smirked innocently, handed over a letter sealed with red wax in his hand, and gasped for breath, "It's Feng Niang." Feng Niang's letter! โ
Hearing that it was Chu Fengniang's letter, Zhao Ruoxin's hand holding the letter trembled violently, and she hurriedly tore the letter open, thinking. This stupid girl is illiterate, when will she be able to write a letter, it won't be a big disaster when she went to Yizhou, hey~ It's not worrying at all.
After opening the letter and staring at it for a moment, Zhao Ruoxin's originally frowning brows immediately relaxed. The corners of her mouth slightly hooked up a warm smile, and she murmured unconsciously: "Silly girl..."
It turned out that this letter was not a regular letter, but a large stack of paintings drawn by Chu Fengniang with a brush jerky, and from the level of painting, this was obviously the first time she wrote a letter in this way.
The painting is very bad, the lines are uneven and crooked, but Zhao Ruoxin can still easily see that the villain with the hair on the painting represents a woman. It's her Chu Fengniang, the hairless villain represents a man, it's her Zhao Ruoxin.
The first one painted a lot of boxy doors, Zhao Ruoxin knew that Chu Fengniang was saying, Xianggong, the slave family has rented shops in many districts and counties according to your instructions, Xianggong, you can rest assured, the slave family did not make a mistake this time. At the end of the painting, a large door was spent. This is to say that she also rented a shop in Yizhou City.
The second one is a big ingot, and the whole paper is painted, and Zhao Ruoxin's eyes are spent. She is talking about Xianggong, the slave family has earned you a lot of silver, so much silver, so much that the slave family can't count it, in just over half a month, she has been running away with people for a week. The bank's shop has already opened in Yizhou City.
The third picture is a small man with long hair and a little man with no long hair sitting at a table eating, the little man with long hair is serving vegetables to the little man without long hair, and the little man with no long hair doesn't even look at her, just looking at the book in his hand intently.
Flip it over again, it's the last one, this one, the hairless little man is thin, very thin and thin, his thin body is crooked in the wind, he can't stand steadily, and he is hurriedly going out to run errands, and the little man with long hair is still looking forward to the door, silently watching his back swaying in the wind, and then, the little man with long hair shed tears.
"This silly girl... This silly girl... This silly girl..."
After reading this stack of letters that are not letters, I don't know when tears are rolling in my eyes again, Zhao Ruoxin cherished the letters over and over again, cherished them and put them in her arms, muttering the words of this silly girl over and over again, but the warm smile on her face is getting thicker and thicker.

The east gate side is in full swing, but the county Cheng Mao Qiu Lin and the county lieutenant Cao Da, who have not been to the county government for half a month, have begun to beat drums in their hearts.
On the side of Shuikou Lane in Beicheng, Yan Song was accompanying the concubine in the third room to have a fun of fish and water, and at a critical juncture, he suddenly heard someone outside the house shouting angrily: "You... You are all dead people, look for me, look for me from house to house, and if you can't find a hammer, don't come back! โ
The hammer is not a mallet, but a western domain dog that Yan Song bought back when he went to the capital three years ago, named hammer, and Yan Song regarded it as a treasure more important than life.
In the room, the concubine in the third room, who was climbing the peak, felt that the person behind her suddenly stopped, and thought that Yan Song was scared by the voice of the housekeeper outside, so she turned her head shyly and said with concern: "Master~~ What's wrong with you?" Why don't you continue..."
Yan Song didn't have time to pay attention to her, got up and put on a piece of clothing directly, kicked open the door and shouted: "What happened to the hammer, where is it?" โ
Listening to Yan Song's scolding, the housekeeper who had just shouted and hadn't gone far immediately regretted it, and was about to say that he was gone, and the little one was sending someone to hurry up and find it.
Before the words could be spoken, another subordinate outside hurriedly ran in and said, "Master... Master... Lord Mao and Lord Cao are visiting..."
"Oh?"
Yan Song frowned, thinking to himself, didn't he say that the three of us would go on strike a long time ago, why did they come, and after tidying up the messy clothes, Yan Song immediately greeted him.
Seeing Yan Song leaving, the nervous and sweaty housekeeper was immediately relieved, gritted his teeth, and vowed in his heart that he must find the hammer before Yan Song returns.
However, outside the gate, Cao Da and Mao Qiulin, who had just met Yan Song, immediately greeted them with a sad face, and Cao Da said worriedly: "Two adults, something is wrong!" โ
Glancing at Mao Qiulin next to Cao Da. Seeing that he was also worried, Yan Song was puzzled: "What? Adults, is this something going on? โ
Mao Qiulin said gloomily: "Lord Yan, has Lord Jia come to look for you these days?" โ
Yan Song shook his head and said, "No... Nope! โ
Hearing Yan Song answer. Mao Qiulin's already gloomy face became even more ugly, and he said worriedly: "More than half a month has passed, and the three of us don't go to the county government at the same time, and Lord Jia hasn't come to any of us at all, something is wrong!" โ
Cao Da said: "Yes." It's very wrong, although the official didn't go to the county office, but I listened to the reports from my subordinates, and recently all the chickens and dog thieves in the city have disappeared, and even the ruffians who usually play helplessly in the streets and alleys have not dared to come out, and the security is surprisingly good...
And... And some people say that Lord Jia pulled all the more than 3,000 people in Chujiazhai to the east gate, saying that he wanted these people to build the bridge of Xia Yuhe, I said two adults, let's do it against Lord Jia like this, will it be a little later? โ
Listen to Cao Da. The three of them looked at each other, it was obvious that in the eyes of the three of them, they were on strike, and Zhao Ruoxin did not come to invite them, the bridge should be repaired, the road should be repaired, and the work was carried out as usual, and what was even more rare was that there was a group of plague gods in Chujiazhai outside the east gate of Qiushuang City. Xiao Xiao, who usually doesn't do good things in the city, was scared and hidden.
Without the strict control, the shops that were required to close before had already been opened, and now the streets are full of how good this new county order is. Zhao Ruoxin was completely famous, and the object of scolding returned to the three of them as they were.
Yan Song and the three didn't go to the county office, but things didn't develop in the direction the three of them expected, Zhao Ruoxin was obviously on the same page with them, and would rather do it alone. and did not come to the door and bow his head and confess his mistake to them.
This time, without Zhao Ruoxin's knowledge, she completely reversed the three adults.
The three of them muttered and discussed again, and finally couldn't help the doubts in their hearts, and all went to the county office.
As soon as they walked to the county office, the three of them were all blindsided, and they saw that on both sides of the court, all of them were officials standing straight with a pestle and a water and fire stick.
Mao Qiulin's face was gloomy, and he said in his heart, this group of useless things, when they went on strike, they said that they had a life-and-death enmity with Lord Jia, and Nima had only been around for a few days, so he couldn't bear it, and they all came back in a hurry.
Yan Song stepped into the county magistrate's position, saw that the desk was polished, and thought that Zhao Ruoxin came to work every day, and secretly regretted listening to Mao Qiulin's instigation, now it's okay, but he completely offended Lord Jia.
Yan Song frowned, picked up a messy pile of court documents on the table and opened it, just glanced at it, and his brows wrinkled even more, why is the wanted notice issued by the court so strange this time.
It turned out that there were four wanted people on this wanted list, and the one who was listed as a special wanted was a maid from the Chuyang Palace, named Zhao Ruoxin, with a reward of 50,000 taels of silver, which was an absolute huge bounty, thinking about the total amount of 100,000 taels allocated by the imperial court to Qiushuang County in the past five years, you will know how huge this 50,000 taels is.
But the strangest thing is that this little maid who is listed as a special wanted target needs to be captured alive, which is also the first time that Yan Song has been the master for so long has seen Bo Po.
Then there is a first-class wanted tour of Xiaojiang, with annotations, and you can receive a reward if you come to see it, and you will be rewarded with 20,000 taels of silver.
Looking down again, there are two people who are ranked as second-level wanted, and they also have annotations, and they must be captured alive and rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver.
There are four nationally wanted people at a time, and three of them need to be captured alive, and the reward alone is 90,000 taels, on the one hand, it is thought-provoking, on the other hand, in the face of the huge temptation, it is very mouth-watering, if anyone catches these four people at one time, it will be completely impossible to spend in several lifetimes!
Seeing that Yan Song was stunned when he looked at the official document of the imperial court, Mao Qiulin and Cao Da also came up, and at this look, the eyes of the three people all widened.
"She... She... She..."
Cao Da is responsible for city defense and public security, and naturally has a unique opinion on recognizing people, but he can't pull out his eyes staring at Zhao Ruoxin's portrait.
Mao Qiulin saw Cao Da's appearance, and asked tentatively: "Lord Cao, do you think this Zhao Ruoxin is very familiar and looks like a person?" โ
Cao Da was so excited that his neck turned red: "Hmm... Well... It's her, it must be her, I, Cao Da, will not admit my mistake, people's appearance and appearance can change, but the skeleton can't change..."
"Haha..."Mao Qiulin's gloomy face for many years finally showed a hearty smile, and laughed, "Come on, ask the painter to enlarge this wanted notice, the wanted notice will be distributed throughout the city, and the sea will catch thieves..."
Hearing the sound, but no one in the two rows of officials below moved, still standing upright, someone said with a bitter face: "Lord Mao, don't harm us, you are an official of the imperial court, but we are not these little Luo Luo, we still have a large family to feed, you and Lord Jia are vindictive, you can't hurt our shrimp soldiers and crab generals, we can't lose this job, these days the brothers have figured it out, the team leader said, now we all rely on Lord Jia to eat, there will be no order from Lord Jia in the future, We won't listen to any of our orders..."

Outside the county office, the west gate of Qiushuang City, at this moment, is ushering in two very special people, the reason why it is special is because these two people are fat and thin, in order to cover up the tracking, they have made their faces unrecognizable, Mao Dali was originally a beard, but now it has been spotless, Liu Jifeng is desperately trying to lose weight, he has not eaten for three whole days, and he also has a full beard.
Cowering outside the west gate of Autumn Frost City for a long time without entering the city, making sure that he didn't see the wanted warrant, Liu Jifeng let out a big sigh: "Damn, as long as we enter Autumn Frost City, find the prince, and let him prove to us that that thing really wasn't intentionally done by the two of us, we can stop being street rats like this, and be chased and beaten all over the street." โ
Mao vigorously pricked up his ears, his two big eyes turned around, and replied vigilantly: "Yes, yes, my yellow-haired dog doesn't want to live a day like this, I'm wronged, woo... The soldier talisman was stolen by your old cow, the idea was made by you, the order was given by the prince, and the soldiers were divided into three ways and you and Prince Cheng did it, my yellow-haired dog really didn't do anything, why did Zhao Zhong, a madman, want me, why! I'm wronged! โ
"it!" Liu Zhifeng's fat and trembling body and face were shocked, revealing impatience, along the way, Mao Dali's words of grievance have been said almost a thousand times, he said, "You have wronged Mao, just rely on your old dog to pass the general's addiction, and you are wanted together, which means that Zhao Zhong is not crazy..."
"You..." was about to argue with Liu Jifeng again, but under the field of vision, the trees in the distance shook, and Mao Dali's eyesight was excellent, and he immediately saw clearly, this was a man dressed in wolf bรจi who was carrying a large dog and kept running.
He pointed in the direction hurriedly: "Hey... Look, old cow, what is that, someone is stealing dogs! โ
Liu Jifeng looked in the direction of his finger, and opened his mouth to scold: "Made, it's the turtle son again, sticking to our two brothers like a plague god, when I was in Tengzhou, it was because he almost ate all the dogs in the city that the two of us were exposed, why did he just arrive in Qiushuang County in Yizhou, and this plague god also came." โ
Mao Dali disagreed, stared at the man who was carrying a big dog and ran farther and farther, and said sympathetically: "Yes, yes, I estimate that this person has a great hatred for dogs, but Lao Niu, don't blame him, both of us have committed such a big crime, in the end it is a second-level wanted, people have killed a few dogs, and now the first-level wanted, it is estimated that I am wronged in my heart, and the dog is on the bar, by the way, I don't know what hurtful things the maid who was listed as particularly wanted has done, it is particularly wanted, Mom, In this world, life is more and more sad than the other! โ
