Chapter 38: Gu Yuexi was arrested
That night, Han Yu couldn't sleep all night, and when he tossed and turned, he only felt chest tightness, so he lit an oil lamp, sat in front of the bookcase, and read at night.
However, he was preoccupied, and Zhou Ning's words were in his mind, and he remembered the bitter water poured out by Pan Qing at night, and suddenly felt sad and indignant.
Let's say that although Zhou Ning is exquisite, his loyalty to His Majesty does not need to be said. The conversation with myself in the wind and snow that day was somewhat a bit of a knife hidden in the cotton, and the meaning of grace and power was given. Could it be that this is also what Your Majesty meant?
Thinking of this, Han Yu suddenly felt that he was in tears, and there was no emotion, and tears like urinating instantly overflowed.
"General...... Did you sleep? ”
Hearing someone knocking on the door and whispering a question, Han Yu hurriedly wiped away his tears, adjusted his mood and opened the door.
"Ziyuan?" Han Yu saw that it was Li Ping, led him into the house, and asked with a confused expression, "What's the matter at such a late hour?" ”
Li Ping lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "That female bandit is gone!" ”
"When did you ......" Han Yu smacked his lips and laughed, "Have a habit of peeping at other girls?" ”
"Oops!" Li Ping hurriedly waved his hand and denied, "I heard a movement outside the door in the house before, and I went out to check for fear that there would be a thief, but I happened to see the female bandit sneaking out of the inn with a knife in a military uniform!" ”
"That's it......" Han Yu raised his head and leaned back, pondering for a long time before waving his hand, "The wind and snow outside the house are so big, and she is helpless here, since you want to go out, let her go." ”
"General!" Li Ping saw that Han Yu was not worried at all, and almost shouted on the spot, "That female bandit sneaked out in the middle of the night with a knife in her arms, don't cause us any trouble!" ”
"Ziyuan, when will your impatient temperament change?" Han Yu got up with a smile and said, "This leg is on her body, we are not related to her, can we put her under house arrest?" ”
After hearing this, Li Ping immediately took over the conversation, "General, the last general asks you something, and I hope to tell you the truth!" ”
Han Yu just put the tea bowl in his mouth, and saw Li Ping's serious question, so he immediately chuckled and put down the tea bowl, sat down again, and nodded in agreement.
"You really don't know a single word with that female ......" Li Ping suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, so he carefully rearranged his rhetoric and said, "Have a marriage contract with that girl?" ”
Han Yu laughed and picked up the tea bowl again, took a sip of tea, and explained unhurriedly, "His grandfather Guo Yun has a life-saving grace with me, and he can be regarded as my master." And this so-called marriage contract was just a joke he said back then, how could it be taken seriously. ”
"In that case, what should this girl do?"
Li Ping was anxious, although Han Yu was not serious, but looking at the girl's posture, he couldn't wait to fly to Nanying to find Han Yu in an instant.
"Isn't she gone?"
Han Yu stood up calmly, walked to the window and pushed it open, suddenly heard the wind howling, and the heavy snow fell into the house one after another, and suddenly a biting chill in the house overwhelmed the whole body.
Looking at the vast snowy night outside the house, it seems that heaven and earth have long been integrated, which means desolate and desolate.
"It's been three watches, huh?" Han Yu muttered to himself, but his eyes kept searching for something out of the window.
Early the next morning, the inn was full of businessmen and visitors, and it was suddenly lively.
After Han Yu and Li Ping said goodbye to Pan Qing and the others at the door, they still didn't see Gu Yuexi, and after asking the shopkeeper, they didn't know his whereabouts.
"Looks like she's saying goodbye." Li Ping knocked on the door for a long time, but did not hear a response, so he turned to Han Yu and said.
"In that case, let her go." Han Yu was happy to be idle, and led Li Ping out to have breakfast.
It is worthy of the foot of the Son of Heaven, although this place is outside the city of Jingzhou, last night was still vast, only the lonely inn stood in this plain facing the wind and snow, but this morning there were many more early stalls at the door, and the pedestrians were endless, lively and extraordinary.
Han Yu heard shouts from afar selling roast chicken and braised pork, wonton dumplings, noodles and marinade.
The two struggled through the crowd to a wonton stall, and as soon as they sat down, they heard the sound of gongs and drums, which instantly attracted the crowd to gather around.
"Hostess!" Han Yu turned his head and asked the young proprietress and said, "What's wrong with this?" Is there still a temple fair here? ”
"The guest officer is from far away, right?" The proprietress replied with a smile while scooping the wontons from the boiling pot, "What kind of temple fair is this!" Presumably the government has caught some villain again! Alas, this world is not peaceful, but I am afraid that some ordinary people will be used to fill the number! ”
"Check it out!"
When Han Yu heard this, his heart suddenly jumped, and he seemed to have an ominous premonition, so he ordered Li Ping to go and check.
After a while, Li Ping suddenly came back with a panicked look and said, "Oh no! The government arrested the girl and said that she had robbed the house last night, and she went to the yamen to ask for the crime! ”
"Damn it!" Han Yu immediately threw the bowl on the table, making a clanging sound, and said with an annoyed expression, "This girl is really troublesome!" ”
After saying that, he dropped three copper coins and hurried to the crowd to check.
At this moment, Gu Yuexi was lowering her head, parading through the streets with five flowers, her handsome face was covered with mud and dirt, presumably she had suffered a lot when she was caught.
More than a dozen officers and soldiers were beating gongs and drums, walking with an arrogant expression, and the officials led by them were even leading Gu Yuexi through the street with their eyebrows fluttering, while muttering loudly, "A female robber was captured this morning!" This bandit sneaked into Zhang Yuanwai's house last night to rob him, and now he is immediately taken into custody by the yamen for questioning! ”
"It's really dead!" Han Yu muttered a curse in his mouth, and then turned his head and asked Li Pingdao in a low voice, "Who is on duty in the Jingzhou Yamen now?" ”
This Li Ping was originally a native of Jingzhou, Xu State, and had always served in the Jingzhou Army, and was later appreciated by Han Yu, so he went to Nanying with him five years ago.
"It seems to be Xue Dian, Xue Wenyan." Li Ping thought about it for a long time before he remembered.
"Oops!" Han Yu's heart trembled slightly, and said, "Xue Wenyan has always been mean, Gu Yuexi's temperament, once it falls into his hands, he will have to suffer from prison!" ”
When Li Ping heard this, he also frowned. remembered the deeds of Xue Dian on weekdays, this person was mean and vicious, known as "ghost sorrow". In all cases that have passed through his hands, there is no one who cannot be detained, and they are often directly tortured and then tortured.
He immediately whispered to Han Yu and asked, "What is the relationship between the general and him?" ”
Han Yu sneered and replied, "He's Feng Tai's person, what do you think of the relationship with me?" ”
"Oops! Blame me! Li Ping slapped his head and said in annoyance, "I should have stopped her last night!" ”
"What's the use of saying that? We hurriedly tried to find a way to enter the city, and after a long time, she had to die in prison! ”
Han Yu withdrew from the crowd and led Li Ping's Pegasus straight to Jingzhou City.
"Come down! Get down! Seeing that Han Yu didn't understand the rules, the little official guarding the city immediately urged impatiently, "What are you doing in the city!" ”
Han Yu saw that the city gate was blocked by them, reined in his horse, and looked coldly at the interrogating official.
"My master went to the city to take up his post!" Li Ping dismounted first, walked up to the little official and said with a smile.
"Going to work?" The little official glanced at Han Yu who was on the horse angrily, and asked Li Ping instead, "Who is in charge?" ”
"The main picture is the history of the order!"
"What?!" The little official smiled and shook his head, and immediately shouted at the group behind him, "Did you hear that? This is a master picture order history, an eight-rank petty official! ”
With that, everyone laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Ping was puzzled, Bapin is also a court official, what is there to be so ridiculed?
"We laugh at your master!" The little official slowly sat on the recliner on the side, leaned back and lifted Erlang's legs, closed his eyes and said leisurely, "If you don't understand the rules so much, it's no wonder that you can only be a petty official who repairs books." ”
Li Ping suddenly understood what the little official meant, and hurriedly took out the usual copper coin from his arms, handed it to him, and said, "This time, my master was in a hurry to take up his post, and only brought these ......."
The little official slowly opened his eyes, and saw that there was only one thing, and then closed his eyes again and sneered, "What about sending Hanako?" After speaking, he rushed forward to drive the carriage out of the city with his throat in his voice, and the old man dressed as a farmer shouted, "Old man Yuan! How many copper coins do you pay for carrying horse manure into the city every day? ”
Old man Yuan immediately stood up, bowed respectfully and said with a smile, "To take care of my lord, I only need two dollars a day for the old man." ”
"En......" The little official smacked his lips, picked up the teapot on the side, took a sip, and said, "Count yourself interesting, let's go!" ”
Seeing that Old Man Yuan was leaving in a hurry, the little official smiled at Li Ping slowly, "See? A person who carries horse manure also needs two dollars to enter the city. Your adults are just giving it consistently, what's the matter? The dignified Xu officials are not even as good as transporting horse manure? Who is this to look down on! ”
"You guy, you are really eloquent!" Han Yu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, smiled coldly on the horse's back, "Then I don't know how much filial piety is enough?" ”
When the little official heard this, he looked at Han Yu with only one eye, and then said impatiently, "Seeing that you are dressed like a big family, with the identity of an eight-rank imperial court official, I will charge you a nine-hundred-dollar money!" ”
"You're really good at business!" Han Yu sneered coldly, "I didn't have enough money, and when I take office, I will send someone to give you the remaining eight money!" ”
Seeing that Han Yu wanted to leave, the little official immediately sat up a little angrily and scolded, "That's not good!" If you don't have money, you won't be able to enter the gates! ”
"You boy! Talk to you well, but you really don't know how to be polite! ”
Li Ping put one hand on the shoulder of the little official, and made a slight effort when the little official cried even if it hurt, and begged for mercy again and again, "This rule is not set by us!" ”
"Forget it!"
Han Yu saw that there were people around him who began to watch and gather, and he didn't want to make a big deal. Seeing that the officers and soldiers escorting Gu Yuexi from afar were coming, he hurriedly stopped Li Ping, raised his horsewhip and pointed at the little official and asked, "Your boss is Gao Fan, Gao Yunhe?" ”
"Do you know Master Gao?"
The little official stared at Han Yu with some incredulity, but he muttered in his heart, how could a little Bapin dare to call Lord Gao's name?
"Ho~" Han Yu sneered disdainfully, "It's too familiar!" You hurry up and go to Tongyu, just say that Han Li is looking for him? ”
"This ......"
It's a difficult thing for a little official, a little eight-pin dares to bother the dignified six-pin to come to greet him, isn't this a brain show? But I feel that Han Yuying is compelling and extraordinary, not like he is going crazy with his words.
Just when he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard Li Ping's angry eyes and scolded sharply, "What are you still doing in a daze!" Let your tall adults get out and welcome! ”
