Chapter 409: Stay
Xiao Jing's troubles have just begun.
At dawn the next day, someone escorted him on the road to the capital. The people of the Hundred Immortals Sect are all important criminals of the imperial court, and the local authorities have no right to try them.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jing did not get into the prisoner car, and he did not wear a flail or lock on the road. Except for a large number of messengers to guard, and some obviously official errands pretending to be three sects and nine streams to spy on them along the way, he didn't feel that this was any different from an ordinary outing when he was locked up in the carriage.
The thought of the secret meeting in prison last night made him feel a little ridiculous.
In the middle of the night, a jailer-like man secretly came to wake him up. I was quite surprised that I was going to have a "night trial" or something, but who knew that I would look at people's faces...... Isn't this my bodyguard?
"Uncle, the villain is here to pick you up. Without further ado, please leave quickly. The man opened the cell door and said in a low voice: "I will take care of this matter by ourselves, and you will take the first step with the brother who came to answer." The head of the family should receive the news soon, and he will make arrangements at that time, and he will be sure to be foolproof. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jing hesitated a little. It's not hard to escape, but what about afterward?
The person who designed him should also be waiting for the behemoth of the Xia family to make a move. As long as it comes up with enough benefits, there is nothing that cannot be discussed, Xiao Jing's exoneration is not a problem at all, this matter is at most disgusting by others.
For the sake of Xia's family heirs, and for the unborn child not to be born without a father as soon as he is born, Xia Honghan will definitely not give up on him.
But if you get away with it, things get complicated.
Someone with a heart may take the opportunity to fan the flames and put Xiao Jing to death on the charge of "absconding in fear of crime", and even take the opportunity to have a showdown with the Xia family; The important criminals of the imperial court were rescued in a grand manner, and the imperial power, which had a deep fear of the Xia family, would definitely not give up, and then the whole family would be in a situation where the enemy was on their backs, even if they could cope with the past, they would definitely suffer heavy losses, and Xiao Jing and the people in the mirror would become an existence that could not see the light from now on and could only survive in the dark.
The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, how to choose?
After thinking about it again, Xiao Jing did not escape from the prison with the comer, he chose to stay.
There is nothing wrong with a faithful follower, but there are more things to consider. It is better to be still than to be still, rather than giving someone a handle now, it is better to wait for the opportunity to change.
In this way, he obediently accepted the arrangement.
Fortunately, the person in charge of the escort was very attentive, and his attitude was very different from those jailers yesterday, and it was not uncomfortable to walk this way.
If Xiao Jing knew what was going on behind him, he would be afraid that he would cover his face and smile bitterly again.
Early this morning, the messenger in charge of the catering originally wanted to send Xiao Jing a dry biscuit, which is also the treatment of ordinary prisoners, but the official who led the team rewarded him with a slap without saying a word.
The stunned one covered his face and was at a loss, only to hear his boss say viciously: "You just give him this?" Hurry up and change, this one looks like a rich and noble family, and he is used to eating and drinking on weekdays, how can such rough food be eaten? Although it is a human offense, but people are not something that we people can afford to offend, if it is mistreated, there will be absolutely no benefit to you in the future......"
After some enlightenment, the messenger left with the handprint on his face, and the one who enlightened others sat against the wall like a puddle of soft mud, and still exhaled vigorously with relief.
Yesterday, two incredible things happened in his home.
First, the eldest grandson, who was regarded as a treasure, disappeared inexplicably while playing, and everyone searched hard but there was no trace, but when he arrived, he came back by himself. According to the child, someone he didn't know took him to play, and he was very well taken care of in the middle, and he also had a lot of fun.
In a panic, the family launched a strict defense, and they almost waited for the day; As a result, in the middle of the night, the ancestral tablet that was enshrined appeared in the front room like a trick, and no one in the family knew how it "ran" unnoticed.
That's terrible, isn't it?
Although he is not a big man, he is also an old man. After a moment's thought, he thought of tomorrow's errand, and of the man who was said to be very promising.
Ordinary thieves, who have the leisure to joke with a small character like themselves.
couldn't say it, he could only offer Xiao Jing high. As long as you eat and drink well and send people to the capital safely, there will be nothing to do with yourself in the future, and even if the thieves are ferocious, they will not come to trouble again, right?
The night before, on the outskirts of Beijing.
The parting scene in this year is often very lively, how can people go out of the house and have more than a dozen or twenty relatives and friends to send each other, but a parting here is different.
The departure point is on a very remote path. Under a bright moon, there are no willows, no rhetoric and wine in the cup. There were five people present, including a groom and a maid.
"The grassland is not as good as the capital, and it is inevitable to suffer some hardships, but don't be willful." Dong Xiaoya, who was red-eyed, caressed He Wan'er's back and said softly: "When you get over there, you have to listen to Sister Shanshan, she has always spoiled you when she was in the editorial department, and no one will bully you if you follow her." ”
He Wan'er nodded vigorously and sobbed, "Wan'er knows." It's just, it's just ......"
Dong Xiaoya put away her sad look and forced a smile to herself: "There is no need to worry about this side of the capital, although there are fewer people in the newspaper, life is still passable." As long as we all take care, there will always be a day of reunion in the future. ”
He Wan'er hesitated for a moment, and snorted: "But, Brother Jing, he ...... No, people can't go! ”
Dong Xiaoya shook her head and said: "Silly girl, you are definitely in danger in Beijing, and going out is just to avoid the limelight, and everyone can rest assured." You can't help if you stay, and Childe will have a lot less room to turn around. My sister promised you that I would pick you up as soon as possible when the matter passed, okay? ”
The young man with a serious face on the side suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, he Xiao is not only lucky, but his life is also very hard." Someone almost froze to death in the snow to save him, and he was disemboweled on the grassland and was still alive and well, and then he robbed his relatives and shook the capital, and he actually married a beautiful lady with his whole body...... Such a scourge must live a hundred years, and it is not so easy to die. ”
He Wan'er burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Brother Shao Ning is here to bluff people again, but with you and Sister Xiaoya here, people can rest assured." I heard that the grassland is very beautiful, Wan'er will go and have a look, Brother Jing's affairs will be entrusted to you, don't forget to write a letter! ”
With that, she jumped into the car like a bunny. Before the curtain was lowered, she playfully waved her hand outside, leaving her sweet smile to Shao Ning and Dong Xiaoya.
But in the next moment, two tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.
