Chapter 11: Attacked on the Way

Along the way, Yun Xi always felt that something was wrong. I always feel like someone is following me. But it doesn't seem to be there, is it that he is too excited, so it's better to be careful after thinking about it. As the saying goes, "You can't have the heart to kill, and you can't have the heart to defend against people."

After a day's journey, the people were sleepy and tired, and when it was dark, they finally arrived at a small county town in the northernmost part of the capital, and the official said, "The prefect and the prefect here are friends. As he spoke, he took out a letter of recommendation. said that if it is late, you can go to the county government to rest." Yun Xi said: "It's so late, and we have to disturb the county order, let's stay in an inn casually."

The group found an inn that looked very clean, and Yunxi said that we would finish eating first and then let them arrange a place to stay. The official asked Xiao Er to arrange a single room. Several people sat together to prepare for dinner, and after Xiao Er put the meal out, Yun Xi gave everyone a look and motioned everyone not to move the chopsticks first. He stood up and opened the door and looked outside. After coming back and sitting down, he took out a pair of small silver chopsticks from his arms, tried to see if there was no poison in the dish, and then tried the rice again, and found that the chopsticks turned black as soon as they were put into the rice, and all the rice in the bowl was tried, and the wine was also tried, only the rice was poisoned. Maybe a few officials have experienced a lot of such things, and none of them panicked. Yunxi stood up and whispered a few words to a few officials, and a few people pretended to drink. After a while, a servant shouted downstairs: "Xiao Er brings wine, and after Xiao Er comes up, several people work together to knock Xiao Er unconscious, and let a government official who is about the same size as Xiao Er change into Xiao Er's clothes, take the prefect's letter to Li Zhixian and go to the county office, while the others continue to pretend to drink."

After drinking for a while, several people pretended to be poisoned and lay on the table. After lying on his stomach for a while, he heard the door creak open, and heard the footsteps of at least two people entering the house, and several people held their breath to see what the people wanted to do.

I heard one of them say, "Are they all dead?" ”

Another said, "It seems like one is missing".

Hearing that a few people here just wanted to make a move, they heard another one say: "Behind the door, quickly cut off the little girl's head, go to my uncle's place to exchange silver, and leave the rest alone,"

The other said, "I can't do it, go and cut it!" I look at people. ”

Another scolded: "Coward, bastard." After scolding, he was about to cut off Yun Xi's head with a knife, Yun Xi was so frightened that he closed his eyes tightly, and prayed in his heart, that Li Zhixian should send someone quickly! Hearing the bang, Yun Xi touched his head and opened his eyes. The two thieves had already been arrested by several officials.

At this time, I heard someone go upstairs. When he opened his eyes and saw that it was the official who delivered the letter, he heard him say: "The magistrate has surrounded the inn, let the thief be brought down for interrogation." Yun Xi and his entourage went downstairs to greet the magistrate. Also on the side of the jury.

It turned out that one of the two was the nephew of the rich man, and the other was his dog friend. It turned out that after the prefect forced the rich man to sell the land. This time, when he heard that Yun Xi was going to the east to buy cotton, he sent his nephew to follow and wait for the opportunity to kill Yun Xi, and promised to give his nephew 1,000 taels of silver after the matter was completed. The hotel has nothing to do with the two people, the two people are poisoned while Xiao Er is not paying attention, although the hotel is not an accomplice, but it is also a poor supervision, a fine of 2,000 silver, the county wants to fine Yun Xi, Yun Xi shirked and said that it was so late and alarmed the brothers, let the brothers drink a glass of wine as a shock for the brothers!

The magistrate said: "Let's put the prisoner in prison first!" In a few days, he will be sent back to the capital for the prefect to be tried. ”

The inn didn't dare to live, the county magistrate let Yun Xi and others live in his home, Yun Xi was embarrassed to draw a few pictures of the county lady and the young master, and the county lady heard that Yun Xi had also painted a portrait of the queen. Flattered, he took his portrait and smiled and said yes.

The next day, Yun Xi and his entourage bid farewell to Li Zhixian and his wife, and set out on the road to the north again.
