Chapter 749: Go to an inn and eat
"Brother Bi......!" As soon as Han Sheng's words fell, Yuqiong's soft shout came, and everyone turned their eyes to see Yuqiong running over with two small bags in her hands, and as soon as she ran closer, she said to me: "Brother Bi, I have packed all my things." ”
"Thank you, Yuqiong." I nodded slightly at Yuqiong, looked at Lian Yunchang in a blink of an eye, and arched my hand and said, "Lord Lian, since the people below have arrived, then we will leave." ”
"Let's send Master Bi off under the official." Lian Yunchang said to me with a salute.
I didn't shirk, turned around and led everyone towards the door of the mansion, even Yunchang is also a transparent person, busy instructing the next person to bring the carriage to wait at the door, as soon as we walked out of the door, we saw a gorgeous carriage parked in front of the door, at a glance, I knew that this was not the carriage when we came, the carriage in front of me was much more luxurious than before, but the tall horse was much stronger than before, before I asked, I heard Lian Yunchang behind me say: "Lord Bi, the lower official saw that the carriage before was a little dilapidated, Therefore, a new carriage was prepared, and I hope that Lord Bi will not blame the officials for being troublesome. ”
I looked at the carriage in front of me, thinking that it would be good to have such a carriage, at least I could visit the ten states as soon as possible, and return to Beijing as soon as possible after completing the task, I turned around and looked at Lian Yunchang while thinking about it and said: "Lord Lian has thought it through, it's too late to thank you, how can you blame!?" ”
"Master Bi doesn't blame the lower officials." Lian Yunchang saw that I didn't blame him, and he immediately felt relieved.
Situ Qing helped Situ Hong and Yuqiong get into the car first, and then jumped into the carriage himself. However, Han Sheng accompanied me and did not move, until I finished talking to Lian Yunchang before helping me into the carriage, and then sat in front of the carriage himself, gently flicked the reins in his hand, and after a 'drive', the high-headed horse flew towards the direction of the Qizhou City Gate.
In just a few moments, we sat in a carriage and rushed out of Qizhou City.
"Husband, will Lian Yunchang send someone to follow us?" As soon as I got out of the city, Situ Hong couldn't help but look at me worriedly and asked in a low voice.
Without waiting for me to answer, Yuqiong beside me spoke: "Sister Situ, don't worry, even if the surnamed Lian is bold, he doesn't dare to follow Brother Bi, he hasn't seen his father's soldiers and horses." You should also know how powerful this talisman is! ”
The princess and Situ Qing listened to the words of the two of them. They all looked at them puzzled, and after Yuqiong finished speaking, the princess looked at her puzzled and asked, "Yuqiong, what are you talking about?" Why can't I understand it? ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, have you seen everything we have seen in this Qizhou City in the past few days?" I smiled at the princess and asked.
The princess nodded. "See."
"What does the princess think of this Qizhou City?" I continued to ask.
The princess looked thoughtful. After a while, he nodded and replied, "I feel that this Qizhou City is not as prosperous as the capital. Although the people live and work in peace and contentment, it seems that everyone has troubles, as if they have encountered some trouble. ”
"The princess is right. In fact, everything is because of Yin Lianyunchang, the Qizhou Mansion! I nodded.
"Lian Yunchang?" The princess was even more puzzled.
I nodded again, "The princess should remember the small village we passed before we entered this Qizhou City, and the old man said that the taxes in Qizhou were heavy, and I was thinking about what caused it at that time, but after we entered this Qizhou City, there was a scene of frightened birds everywhere, and I couldn't help but make Zai Xia more confused, and yesterday I went to check the explanation with Brother Han, but who knew that I heard the news of the death of the shopkeeper of the cloth shop I went to yesterday early this morning, so I will think that in the next place, These are all related to Lian Yunchang, and I feel that we may be in danger if we stay any longer, so I decided to leave this Qizhou City without telling the princess. ”
The princess listened to my words and nodded her head as if she didn't understand.
I took out the brocade bag that Lian Yunchang handed me when I left, and as soon as I took out the brocade bag, several people all looked at it, I measured it, and said with a smile: "A state and county's governor Yin's annual silver is only a hundred taels, and even Yunchang gave me such a big red envelope as soon as he made a move, this silver seems to be very easy!" With that, I gently opened the brocade bag in my hand.
As soon as the brocade bag was opened, several of us were dumbfounded, this brocade bag that didn't look big was full of thick stacks of silver tickets, and the amount on it was a silver ticket that was a state and county government Yin for a few years, and even Yunchang gave me more than a dozen as soon as he made a move, and he regarded me as those big officials in the capital.
"Sister...... Brother-in-law, these silver tickets...... It's all given to you by the surname Lian? Situ Qing looked at the silver ticket in my hand, couldn't help but take one and looked at it carefully, then raised his head and looked at me respectfully and asked.
I smiled faintly: "Uncle, do you think that with my current status, I can get so much silver at once?" ”
"Uh-huh." Situ Qing listened to my words and nodded inexplicably.
I stuffed these silver tickets back into the brocade bag and handed them to Situ Hong, "Wife, you have collected all these silver tickets, these are all the evidence of the crime of the surnamed Lian, and after returning to the capital to meet the emperor, I will hand over all these incriminating evidence to the emperor." ”
"Uh-huh." Situ Hong nodded when she heard me say this.
After leaving Qizhou City, Han Sheng drove the carriage to the official road, and the official road was flat, so a few of us didn't feel much bumps when we sat in the car, and the time passed quickly, and after a while, I felt a little hungry in my stomach, and couldn't help but poke my head out and look outside the carriage, "Brother Han, what time is it now?" ”
Han Sheng listened to me ask, did not stop the reins in his hand, looked up at the blazing sun above his head and said in a deep voice, "It should be noon." ”
"Brother Han, is there any place to stay in front of you, let's take a break and have a bite to eat!" I whispered.
"Don't worry, Bi Gongzi, I know that there is a town about ten miles further on, so let's rest when we get to that town."
"Okay."
I whispered back into the carriage, and I couldn't bear to look at the tired look on the faces of the three girls.
Han Sheng shouted softly again, and the tall horse galloped forward with its hooves flying, although the bumps in the carriage were subtle, but I also knew that this was Han Sheng driving the carriage with all his might.
Ten miles away is not a problem for a carriage, and after a while, I felt that Han Sheng seemed to be deliberately slowing down the speed, and as soon as I poked my head out, I saw a few wooden houses not far ahead, "Brother Han, have we arrived?" ”
"Hmm." Han Sheng nodded slightly.
Soon the carriage drove into the town, to be honest, when I saw these dilapidated wooden houses in front of me, I thought it was just a small village, the carriage walked along a dilapidated market, the wooden houses on both sides of the market were low and looked a little old, the most important thing was that there were no ordinary shops in the capital, but although there were no shops, but I could vaguely see a few tattered cloth flags fluttering in the air in the wind, and the cloth flags were broken and supported on high bamboo poles, and a big 'stack' was written on them.
Han Sheng didn't hesitate and parked the carriage under the tattered cloth flags.
"Brother-in-law, where have we been?" As soon as Situ Qing saw the carriage stop, he hurriedly poked his head out of the carriage and looked around, and then looked at me suspiciously.
Seeing this, I also frowned slightly, and threw the question to Han Sheng, "Brother Han, is this the town you are talking about?" ”
Without waiting for Han Sheng to answer, a crisp voice came from one direction, "Hey, a few guest officers are eating, right?" Please ...... inside! ”
When I heard the sound, I turned my head to see that a shopkeeper in a coarse cloth dress and a small hat walked out of a wooden house, and looking at his smiling face, I could see that he had not received customers in this shop for a long time.
"Brother Han, let's eat here?" Looking at the shopkeeper who had come closer, I looked at Han Sheng again in confusion.
Han Sheng jumped down from the carriage, looked at me and said in a deep voice: "Master Bi, the shopkeeper of this inn is a friend I met a long time ago, and there are no other shops here besides this one, let's just take a look!" ”
"That'...... All right. As soon as I heard Han Sheng say this, I didn't say anything more, but just nodded.
Situ Qing also heard Han Sheng's words, and hurriedly greeted the three girls who were still in the carriage, and the three girls cautiously got out of the carriage and walked into the inn behind me and Han Sheng.
