Chapter 6: Farewell
Huangfu Pu Sheng turned around and straightened up, then threw the horsewhip in his hand to the guard beside him, and said lightly: "Wu Bantou, what do I think of the person next to the patrol envoy, so familiar..."
"General, he is an idle old man in our county, and this is not the first time he has been arrested for not paying his debts. But who knows, what kind of shit luck he took today, he was caught by the inspector at a glance, saying that he would take him into Beijing no matter what. Wu Bantou bowed his body slightly, and explained 1510.
"Huh? How could an idle gambler be favored by a dignified inspector? This is too unreasonable, isn't it? The more Huangfu Pusheng delved into this matter, the more he felt that there was something strange in it.
"General, you mean, that Inspector is a pretend?" Wu Bantou asked tentatively according to the meaning of Huangfu Pusheng.
Huangfu Pusheng's eyes were slightly cold, his expression suddenly became cold, and he said in a low voice: "It's not that there is no such possibility. ”
"But the jade pendant in his hand... Looks like it's true. Wu Bantou didn't dare to echo the assertion.
"The jade pendant is true, but it's hard to say whether the real owner is them." Huangfu Pu Shengzhong turned around again and looked in the direction where Zhuge Hanqing and the others disappeared.
"General, what next?" Wu Bantou didn't dare to propose, for fear of provoking criticism of dereliction of duty, after all, he released them from prison, and then, everything could only be pushed to the captain general in front of him, because he was also the person who was the person in charge of the whole incident.
"What else can I do?!" The more Huangfu Pu Sheng thought about it, the more he felt that he shouldn't be so arbitrary, even stupid. As soon as he raised his hand, a loud slap landed on Wu Bantou's cheek. A crimson handprint appeared on Wu Bantou's cheek, and his body was also staggered to the side a few steps. "If they are fakes, we will let them go so easily, and the real officials will come to Xingshi to ask for their guilt, and you and I will not be able to eat and walk around! What are you doing here?! Take all your men with you, catch them up and arrest them directly, and if you don't bring them back, don't come back! ”
Huangfu Pu Sheng is worried that the matter is not decided by him, so it is better for him to stay away from the next things, only in this way, can he push everything to Wu Bantou as much as possible, saying that he is authoritarian and arbitrary, so that his brother-in-law can also stay out of the matter and reduce the risk of punishment; If Wu Bantou catches it right, he will take the initiative to stand up and say that he is the one who knows everything and sends Wu Bantou to arrest, and he will be a meritorious man at that time.
Thinking of this, the corners of Huangfu Pusheng's mouth unconsciously hooked slightly, and his right hand did not forget to brush the pitiful short beard.
What Zhuge Hanqing and the others didn't expect was that the two horses under the crotch given by the government were actually newly purchased good horses from the Western Regions, and there was no fatigue in the long-distance run, and they urged the horses to come to the beach soon.
Duanmu Hua'an was sitting on the threshold of his house, smoking a dry cigarette and waiting for Zhuge Hanqing's news. He heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from afar, and he knocked off the tobacco that had not yet burned out, and hurried up to the way to the little slope, where the two galloping horses were getting closer and closer to him.
When Zhuge Hanqing was about to arrive at Duanmu Hua'an's place, he asked him to wait in place for a while, but he urged the horse to Duanmu Hua'an's approach.
"Uncle Duanmu, I'm back." Zhuge Hanqing shouted loudly as he dismounted.
"Young man, I didn't expect them to release you so soon." Duanmu Hua'an grinned and said with a bright smile.
"Uncle, I can't continue to live with you, they will come to arrest me again at any time, I am going to Kyoto with this brother behind me, I hereby bid you farewell." Zhuge Hanqing turned around and pointed in the direction where Puyang Gu Sheng was.
Hearing this, Duanmu Huaan immediately understood the general meaning, Zhuge Hanqing must have used some special means to escape from prison. Suddenly, his expression became cautious, and he said anxiously: "In this case, you really shouldn't come to me again, they will definitely come to me to search for you first, what are you still doing in a daze?!" Hurry up and flee in the direction of Kyoto! If they do come to me, I'll find a way to help you hold them up! ”
In the end, Duanmu Huaan frequently made moves to drive Zhuge Hanqing away.
Zhuge Hanqing suddenly realized that he was not thoughtful, and regretted that he should not do things with affection, because his arrival might really lead the disaster to Uncle Duanmu. He hurriedly pulled the reins of the white horse, turned the direction of the white horse, and wanted to go away, but before swinging the whip, he still did not forget to say a serious sentence, "Uncle, I will help you rescue your aunt." ”
Subsequently, Duanmu Hua'an, who was standing in place, only saw Zhuge Hanqing and another person from a distance, frequently raising their whips and leaving the dust.
Half an hour later, the jailer of the government really came on horseback, and asked Duanmu Hua'an about the relevant information of Zhuge Hanqing and the others in a vicious tone with threat.
Although the evil pawn came here with a full of anger, Duanmu Hua'an deliberately put on a sneering expression, poured tea, put fruit on the table, and deliberately lied that Zhuge Hanqing deliberately deceived him, so he would be fooled into going to the county to buy white-feathered chickens. In short, Dong Laxi talked about some non-existent things, and Wu Bantou didn't have the patience to listen to it, so he had to leave stupidly and continue to chase in the direction of Kyoto, because he clearly remembered that Zhuge Hanqing was going to Beijing with Puyang Gu Sheng.
Immediately, Wu Bantou took a group of jailers, and chased in the direction of Kyoto while inquiring, but they were always a few miles behind, and when they were about to leave the county, they had no choice but to give up and return to the government.
When Wu Bantou returned to the government with a group of jailers and a disgraced face, he found that Qiu Haoran, the county Cheng, had also returned, and from the words of the county Cheng, he heard that Huangfu Pusheng had already informed the county Cheng of the matter, and he also washed himself cleanly.
"Wu Bantou, you are so bold, you dare to let go of the thief who pretended to be the inspector of the Ministry of Officials without permission, are you guilty?!" Lu Qiu Haoran squinted at Wu Bantou under the case and asked sharply.
Wu Bantou thought that since Huangfu Pusheng had washed himself cleanly, he would definitely not be able to involve him again in the next words.
"My lord, I was also deceived by that thief, and mistakenly thought that he was a real inspector, after all, the jade pendant in his hand was a genuine jade, and it was definitely beyond the reach of ordinary prodigal children. The lowly position was also afraid that he would really offend him, but blamed our government office, so in desperation, the lowly position took the initiative to release him and Puyang Gu Sheng together. Wu Bantou was soaked in sweat and trembled.
Lu Qiu Haoran knew that the other party was indeed thinking about the government, and it was not good to have too many attacks, not to mention that there was a mob rebellion, and he also blocked a stone attack from the mob for himself. The emotion that was about to be furious was immediately suppressed by him.
"If this matter is over, it is easy to say anything, once the matter reaches the head of the official, hum! I won't be able to protect you then, so go down. Lu Qiu Haoran waved his hand and let Wu Bantou walk out of the yamen hall, and then, he turned around and instructed the master beside him, "Quickly inquire from the neighboring county, is there really a ministry inspector to search for any virtuous people in the area of this county." ”
"Yes, sir." The master hugged his palms and bowed behind him, and hurriedly turned around and left.
Towards the evening, the people who went to the neighboring county to inquire came back, and after the master reported the relevant information, the county Cheng knew that there was no inspection at all.
"Tell me to go down, the thief must not be publicized from the outside world about the thief's escape from this county, otherwise the official will never spare him!" Lu Qiu Haoran's eyes were full of a cold aura, and after hearing this, the master couldn't help but shudder.
"Fortunately, you and I sold the horse and changed our outfits, which is not eye-catching, otherwise those people will catch up with us, after all, I have enough horse skills..."Zhuge Hanqing shook his head with a wry smile.
"Brother Zhuge , you are still thoughtful, although we are sitting in a luxury soft sedan chair and moving slowly, no matter how rich their imagination is, they will never think that we will take a soft sedan car and slowly escape from this county, hahaha..."
"Brother Zhuge , these silver taels should be enough for us for a while." Puyang Gu Sheng gently patted the money bag on his waist and couldn't help but laugh.
Zhuge Hanqing's body has fainted several times since he crossed over, and has become very weak, and now he has experienced bumps on the horse, at this time he was in the soft sedan chair, only felt sore and weak, and gradually, the feeling of the world spinning swept his mind again, and his body couldn't stop falling to one side.
"Hey, Brother Zhuge , what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" Seeing this, Puyang Gu Sheng hurriedly supported him.
"I'm fine, I'm just too tired, I'll just take a break." Zhuge Hanqing tried to squeeze out a smile and said.
When Zhuge Hanqing woke up again, he found himself lying on the bed of a small country shop, while Puyang Gu Sheng was talking to a man dressed as Langzhong. He tried to get up and found that his arm couldn't exert any strength.
"Don't move, don't move, Lang Zhong said that you have a serious cold, let you rest for a few days." Puyang Gu Sheng sent Lang Zhong away, and when he saw Zhuge Hanqing wanting to get up, he hurriedly stopped him, and then lowered his voice again, "Brother Zhuge , let's recuperate here first, don't be afraid, this is the boundary of the neighboring county, and the gang of government officials in our county will not chase after here, you can rest assured that you will recuperate, and I will cook medicine for you first." ”
Before Zhuge Hanqing could speak, Puyang Gu Sheng picked up the herbs left by Lang Zhong and hurriedly stepped out of the door.
Just when Zhuge Hanqing wanted to close his eyes and recuperate, a woman with a fluttering skirt suddenly flew in from the window. Zhuge Hanqing was startled at first and was about to speak, but the woman quickly blocked his mouth with the end of the scabbard.
