CHAPTER 40

"Cut, who knows what the result will be in the end of staying with you, why don't you run?" Su Hao replied angrily.

The man in blue glanced at Su Hao coldly: "Master Su, please be calm and don't be impatient, endure it for a few more days, the contemptible people will let you go out of debt, and then you want to go to Jiangnan or return to Beijing, it's up to you to decide." But these days, your life and death have to be decided by me! ”

Let's go back and talk about the days of Miao Yu's rumors in the past few days.

That day, after the carriage turned Tong Yan out of the car, he ran rampage through the forest for several miles before he slowed down. Miao Yuyu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the reins and strangled the horse that wanted to move on. After taking a breath, Miao Yuyu wanted to turn back to find Tong Yan, but Miao Yu Yu had never driven a carriage, and tossed for a long time before he turned the carriage around, and when he ran back to the place where the accident happened, let alone Tong Yan, he didn't even find a ghost.

After looking around the neighborhood, he didn't see anyone or a bandit's nest or anything, Miao Yuyu didn't dare to stay in the forest, and drove back and forth, just hoping to find the nearest town as soon as possible to report to the official.

After driving for most of the day, Miao Yuyu returned to the inn where he had complained before. The innkeeper was also kind-hearted, and when he saw Miao Yu's embarrassed appearance, and no one else came back with him, he knew that something must have happened on the road, so he hurriedly greeted him, supported Miao Yuyu, and asked Xiao Er to prepare tea. Miao Yuyu didn't have time to thank the shopkeeper, but kept repeating two words to the shopkeeper in a hoarse voice - report to the official.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly arranged for someone to go to the nearest county to report to the official, and wanted to arrange a rest for Miao Yuyu, and Miao Yuyu was indeed very stubborn, and he must go to the town's official mansion with Xiao Er. The shopkeeper was helpless, so he asked Xiao Er to change the carriage, and drove Miao Yuyu into the city to report to the official.

The government originally didn't want to deal with Miao Yuyu's rumors, and the mountain bandits in the vicinity had been in turmoil for a while, but no one had been killed, and no one had gone to the city to make trouble, and the government had always turned a blind eye. Miao Yuyu knew about the filth in the officialdom, Shi Tianyu had given Miao Yuyu a waist card before they set off, only saying that if there was anything on the road that needed the assistance of the government, as long as this waist card was displayed, no one would dare to shirk. Miao Yuyu touched his waist, but fortunately, the waist card was still there.

The county lord took the waist card and took a look, this is amazing, the waist card is dark all over, the front is engraved with an eagle-like totem, and the back is carved with tiger claws, which is the waist card of the eagle guard camp raised by the emperor. The county magistrate felt his hands tremble when he held the waist card, could it be that the emperor already knew about this side of the matter? If it is, let alone his official hat, I'm afraid even his head will have to be explained. But now, if this little girl can get this waist card, she must not be an ordinary person, if she doesn't report this case, and when the little girl pokes the matter, she is afraid that she will die even worse.

The county magistrate sweated in his head, and tremblingly returned the waist card to Miao Yuyu, saying that he would immediately write an excerpt and let people send it to Beijing urgently. Miao Yuyu accepted the waist card, and seeing that the county master was frightened by this waist card, he probably didn't dare to delay, so he let someone help him to rest.

The county magistrate wrote an excerpt overnight and asked him to send it to Jingzhao Mansion quickly, and wrote a secret letter and handed it to the messenger, and instructed the messenger in his ear for a long time, so that the messenger could set off.

The next morning, before dawn, Miao Yuyu got up and freshened up. After a night's rest, Miao Yuyu felt that his physical strength had almost recovered, although he still felt a little sore in his body, but it was no longer the state of trembling even standing yesterday. When it was dawn, Miao Yuyu had almost cleaned up, and went to think about the county master's resignation, indicating that he was going to rush back to Beijing to report to his family. The county magistrate didn't dare to stop him, so he hurriedly asked people to prepare the carriage, and sent two officials to follow Miao Yuyu to escort Miao Yuyu back to Beijing.

Almost the sun and the moon, Miao Yuyu returned to Beijing on the third day. It was noon when he entered Jin'an City, and Miao Yuyu estimated that Shi Tianyu should still be in the yamen at this time, and after thanking the two officials, he went straight to the yamen.

Shi Tianyu was indeed in Yamen at this time, and the news sent by Jingzhao Mansion yesterday evening knew that Tong Yan and his party were taken captive by mountain bandits, and he made it clear to the emperor early this morning, and now he is dispatching people in Yamen, preparing to lead troops to suppress bandits. At this time, someone came to report, saying that someone was looking for him, originally Shi Tianyu did not plan to see anyone, and now the big things are not as good as the things in his hand, and then as soon as he saw the eagle and tiger waist card presented, Shi Tianyu knew that the person who came must be Miao Yu, and hurriedly greeted him.

Seeing Shi Tianyu appear, Miao Yuyu felt that his little heart was back in position and no longer hung in his throat. Shi Tianyu took a cursory look at Miao Yuyu, and saw that Miao Yuyu was not injured except for being tired, so he dragged Miao Yuyu out. Miao Yuyu followed two steps, grabbed Shi Tianyu, frowned, and said, "Cousin Yu, Tong Yan and Brother Hao ......"

Shi Tianyu turned around and interrupted Miao Yuyu's words: "I know everything, you go back to the house with me first, and I will lead the troops to rescue them today." Regardless of whether Miao Yuyu was willing or not, he stuffed Miao Yuyu into a small sedan chair and instructed the sedan chair man to send Miao Yuyu back to Shifu. Then Shi Tianyu turned back and told the people below to arrange as soon as possible, and he needed to go home to deal with family affairs.

Mrs. Shi, who had already received the news, waited in the inner courtyard early, and when she saw Miao Yuyu coming back, she hurriedly grabbed Miao Yuyu, looked and touched, and after confirming that Miao Yuyu was fine, she personally sent Miao Yuyu back to the courtyard, regardless of whether Miao Yuyu was willing or not, she immediately asked people to wait for Miao Yuyu to bathe and rest, and ordered someone to prepare the stew.

Miao Yu's rumors are not easy to refute Mrs. Shi's face, even if she is anxious to discuss with Shi Tianyu, she can only be fiddled with by Mrs. Shi first.

Shi Tianyu went home and told Shi Xiangye and Mrs. Shi about the situation, and without waiting for Miao Yu's rumors, he went back to the yamen and took people to the place where Su Hao and Tong Yan had an accident.

Shi Tianyu on the front foot went out of the city, and Mrs. Su on the back foot arrived at Shifu. It turned out that when the Su family had lunch today, a stranger asked to see Master Su, and when the porter went back to invite, the person left, leaving only a letter. When Master Su saw it, he realized that Su Hao was kidnapped by the mountain bandits, and he was asking for ransom. The mountain bandits are kind-hearted, they don't want much, five thousand taels of silver, they want cash, don't redeem tickets. Mrs. Su fainted on the spot, and invited a doctor to come, but she smoked snuff and pinched people, so that she could be relieved.

Thinking that Su Hao had said before leaving, he went to Jiangnan to inspect the store this time, and by the way, he also sent Miss Shi's cousin to Jiangnan to play, and now that something happened, presumably Miss Shi of the Shi family was also together, so he rushed to Shi's mansion to find Mrs. Shi to ask for news.

Mrs. Su cried and complained to Mrs. Shi for half an hour, and Mrs. Shi persuaded Mrs. Su, told Mrs. Su the ins and outs of what she knew, and told Mrs. Su that Shi Tianyu had led troops to the rescue, and Mrs. Su was relieved.
