CHAPTER XVIII
Governor Li is upright and upright, and will be very strict with every case, and will not allow any prisoner to break free from his eyes. If I'm really unfortunate enough to be targeted by him, I'll probably be finished.
But everything has a turnaround, at least that's what I think, and I don't have a special panic, after all, it's not that I want to go down this road, but I don't seem to blame anyone, if I have to blame, I can only blame my father, but now it's useless to blame anyone, I just want to save my life.
The days in Changfu were monotonous and boring, but I never felt the crisis. Even if Liu Chunfang troubles me, I don't think I can't deal with it.
A few days after the peaceful days, Xuan Lin suddenly came to the house to look for me, and said straight to the point: "In these days, people from the Qinglian Society have been arrested and brought to the yamen, and Governor Li interrogated them one by one, and I was also present, and one of them confessed to you at that time, but they didn't know that you were here, and you fled quickly these days, don't appear in the capital again." ”
After listening to this, I took a deep breath, has this kind of day come after all? But I'm not afraid, if I'm the only one on the road, I'll easily run away, but I don't know why I'm a little relieved to go to Changfu.
"I don't have time to think about the love of children, fortunately, you don't know anyone, if you can go, hurry up, bring a little more silver on the road, Mrs. should be willing to give it to you."
"I see, thank you."
After Xuan Lin finished speaking, he left, as if he was very busy, I can only thank him silently in my heart, if this kind of thing is said, Xuan Lin may really be unlucky, and it will collapse with Xuan Mansion.
I told my wife my plan, Madam was very worried, Ah Yan also cried silently on the side, I could only comfort: "If there is nothing to do, I will still come back, and I have many reasons to escape, if someone really comes to ask Madame where I have been, Madame will say that I will go to the south to purchase medicinal herbs." ”
Madame nodded and said, "If you are tired, rest at the post station on the road, and the horses will have fodder to eat, and you can also sleep well." I'm afraid I won't have enough silver taels for you, so you can bring a few more silver tickets. ”
"Madam, I don't need to spend any money on the road at all, don't worry about me, I used to run around a lot on the road, I have experience."
"You are a woman after all, you still have to be careful, no matter how strong you are, maybe it will not be the same in the eyes of others......"
"Thank you, Madame, for reminding me."
Madame sighed and said, "Okay, I also know that you are sensible, but we are all worried about you. Hurry up and get on the road, don't wait until Governor Li comes again. ”
I carried my baggage, which contained two other pieces of my clothes and some silver, and nothing else, and I had a short knife pinned to my waist, which I usually carried with me, and I went on my way.
My destination is Xuzhou, if Xuzhou can't hide, and then go south to Nanjing, look at the rest of the matter, if you generally escape, it is more than enough to choose two locations.
Running to the south one by one, I wore a veil all the way and was vigilant to everyone, so I arrived in Kaifeng without danger.
There are many post stations and inns located in Kaifeng, some are very small, some are very large, I picked a fairly big inn to live in, when I arrived, it was just past the time of the day, the sky was slowly darkening, the inn was not deserted, there were many people in it who had not slept yet, and the large and small oil lamps were still flickering.
"Girl, alone?"
The shopkeeper was a man who looked about my age, and he stood in the doorway and looked at me with a smile on his face, and I said, "Yes, just one person." ”
"It just so happens that we only have a single room left, so I'll take the girl there."
The shopkeeper waved his hand, and a junior came out and took my horse away, and said, "Don't worry, girl, your horse can definitely eat and drink well here." ”
The shopkeeper led me up to the second floor, picked a room in the back, and opened the door, the room was not big, but it was neatly tied.
"What do you think of this?"
"Okay, that's it, how much does it cost?"
"Girl, let's go downstairs with the little one to register first."
When I got downstairs, after the registration, the shopkeeper said, "We're big here, one or two a night." ”
"One or two? Why don't you grab it? If I live in a post station for three or four dollars at most, you might as well rob it. ”
"Girl, this is what you don't know, our inn has been here for decades, my father and my mother built it with their own hands, and they have always collected one or two pieces of silver a night, and you can't break the rules here."
I was hesitating, and the shopkeeper said: "Besides, it's so late, and it's not easy for a girl to travel at night, and you lead a horse, it's a lot of trouble, we can serve both people and horses comfortably here, you are happy, and the horses are also happy, why not do it." ”
"Okay, I won't tell you more," I said, taking out a tael of silver from my baggage, and putting it on the table, "I should go up too, and you should quickly get someone to make hot water and bring it up." ”
"Gotcha!"
The shopkeeper happily accepted the money, beckoned a few men to bring the boiled water upstairs, and I followed upstairs.
This inn is indeed very large, the house is enclosed in a square, there is a large courtyard in the middle, there are many houses, basically full of people, I only stay for a day anyway, and I don't care much about the people walking around, but there are some people who I can't ignore without paying attention.
Lin Han sat in the courtyard and drank tea elegantly. Although the tea in this inn is not as good as the tea in the capital, when she drank it, she had a special feeling, as if the tea suddenly became noble.
I didn't dare to stay here any longer, and I don't know if she saw me when I just checked in downstairs, so it's not a good thing to meet someone I know outside. I hurried upstairs and was relieved to see that she hadn't come over.
Back in the house, I got into the big bucket and shivered, it was so comfortable. The shopkeeper also sprinkled peony and angelica, and I suddenly felt that these two were not in vain.
Staying in the bucket, I suddenly couldn't understand, why did this Lin Han come all the way here? And it seems that she is the only one, she is not like I am here to escape for her life, a girl is away from home, and her martial arts skills are not high, could it be that she is here to have a private meeting with a lover? But how could you be wronged to live in an inn?
Forget it, it's better to be nosy, all I have to do now is to save my life, and don't think about anything else, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
After taking a bath, I got dressed, asked the guy to change another bucket of water, washed the clothes of the previous day, locked the door, and lay down on the bed.
