Li Zhutou frowned, looked at the seven or eight guests in the inn, and said to the shopkeeper: "Everyone in the store is here?" ”

The shopkeeper looked around, nodded and said to Li Zhutou: "It's all here." ”

"Everyone, come back to the yamen with me!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Lu Qingzi opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he still closed his mouth knowingly.

At this time, the more you talk, the easier it is to be suspicious.

Lu Qingzi glanced at Wen Ye helplessly, "Let's go!" ”

The group was taken back to the yamen, and after being asked one by one in the public court, they stood aside and guarded.

The last one was the shopkeeper, and the magistrate of the town looked at him and asked, "Have you heard what they said?" This palace only asks you, you knew that this man had abused that woman for a long time, but why didn't you come to report it to the official for a long time? ”

Li Zhutou said that the man's head was placed on the counter, presumably the woman also hated the shopkeeper and turned a blind eye!

The shopkeeper had not recovered from the shock of the morning, but said in a hurry: "The grass people don't dare, that man threatens the grass people, if they report to the official, they will kill me." ”

Lu Qingzi listened on the side, and felt that the shopkeeper was clearly shirking, and what he said at that time seemed to be still lingering in her ears.

The official of this town did not believe him, but only looked at him and said: "Since the woman and the deceased have lived in your shop for two months, you must be very familiar with it, and the others can leave, so you can leave a good memory and remember what characteristics the woman has, so that you can return to the official!" ”

As he spoke, he asked Lu Qingzi and the others to leave.

Lu Qingzi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this official is a good official.

When he got out of the yamen, Lu Qingzi went back to pack his things and rushed to Xingcheng with Wen Ye.

Whether the woman was arrested or not has nothing to do with her.

Because of this incident, Lu Qingzi's stay in this town was delayed for most of the day.

Everyone asked the official in detail, so when he arrived in Xingcheng at this time, it was almost dusk.

Lu Qingzi and Wen Ye casually found a small noodle restaurant and asked for two bowls of noodles, and when the noodles were just served, a ragged woman suddenly passed by at the door.

The woman staggered along. It seemed that he would faint at any time, Lu Qingzi remembered the embarrassment he had when he first arrived in Qi Kingdom, and couldn't help but take a second look.

As if noticing Lu Qingzi's gaze, the woman turned her head and looked back sadly.

Lu Qingzi felt a little unbearable in her heart, and said to Wen Ye: "Look at her, she doesn't have much money, you go and give her some!" ”

Wen Ye took the silver handed to her by Lu Qingzi and left.

Lu Qingzi saw Wen Ye stop her in the noodle shop, and then stuffed the silver into her hand, revealing a faint smile.

The woman seemed to be asking Wen Ye something, Wen Ye pointed at Lu Qingzi, and Lu Qingzi saw that she was very upright when she brushed her salute to herself.

Lu Qingzi nodded, and Wen Ye came back.

After eating the noodles, Lu Qingzi looked at the time, and rushed to the city gate at this time, it was the time for the soldiers to change the guard, and it would be safer to go out of the city.

Thinking so, Lu Qingzi's pace quickened.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, as Lu Qingzi expected, he went out of the city effortlessly, and the soldiers at the gate had impatience on their faces, as if they were blaming the changing of the guard why they hadn't arrived yet.

When he got out of Xingcheng, Lu Qingzi felt that it was really easy this time, and it was so easy that Lu Qingzi felt a little unreal.

That night, Lu Qingzi and Wen Ye lit firewood in a sheltered place, there were no people on the way, and there was no inn, so they could only wait for tomorrow to go to the city and rent a carriage.

"Why don't we rent a carriage directly in Xingcheng?" Wen Ye looked at Lu Qingzi and asked.

Lu Qingzi held a wooden stick in his hand and fiddled with the fire, "Time is too tight, if that's the case, you won't be able to get out." ”

Wen Ye nodded, looked at her and said, "May I ask you a question?" ”

Lu Qingzi raised her eyes and glanced at him, "Say it!" ”

"Why do so many people want to take your life?"

Wen Ye has been hiding in Tibet most of the time, he has always felt that the woman in front of him is very good, why are so many people chasing her?

Lu Qingzi's eyes revealed a cold light, and he sneered: "Maybe it's because my life is too expensive!" That's why these people are always thinking about exchanging my life for what they want. ”

Not only her life, but also Wen Ye's life.

But this sentence, Lu Qingzi knows, and he can't say it to Wen Ye yet.

"Is that so?" Wen Ye was silent thoughtfully for a long time, and finally turned his head and looked at Lu Qingzi firmly: "It's okay, I will protect you." ”

Lu Qingzi smiled and nodded, "Well, I believe you." ”

At this time, Wen Ye suddenly stood up, looked behind him, and even his voice became serious: "Someone!" ”

Lu Qingzi pulled out the dagger at the moment, and also stood up, looking in the direction of Wen Ye, but there was only a vast night.

"Are you sure?" Lu Qingzi looked at Wen Ye and said, "Could it be that you heard it wrong?" ”

Wen Ye shook his head, "No, no, I heard footsteps." ”

Wen Ye picked up the slingshot in his waist, then bent down to pick up a stone from the ground, and then aimed it at a place in the darkness, "Ah! ”

A woman's exclamation came from not far away, Lu Qingzi was startled, sure enough, there was someone!

Wen Ye took a step forward and protected Lu Qingzi behind him, and shouted at the woman, "Don't come out yet?" ”

The woman hesitated for a moment, and then came out weakly from behind a bush.

By the light of the fire, Lu Qingzi saw her face clearly, "It's you?" ”

It was in Xingcheng, and she asked Wen Ye to give her silver.

The woman said to Wen Ye: "I, I didn't want to hurt you, I'm cold......"

Lu Qingzi looked at her clothes that were already full of holes, and her lips were shivering from cold, although it was the beginning of summer at this time, it was still very cold at night, Lu Qingzi felt pity, but did not speak.

Seeing that Lu Qingzi didn't speak, Wen Ye looked at her and asked, "Then why are you hiding in the shadows?" ”

I've seen it in Xingcheng during the day, and we will meet again at this time, but it's just a fire, why hide in the grass?

Tears appeared in the woman's eyes, and she looked at Wen Ye and Lu Qingzi and said, "I'm afraid that you will treat me as a thief." ”

Lu Qingzi was stunned for a moment, it seems that this is indeed the case, such a dressed woman, if she suddenly comes over, I am afraid that she will be suspicious.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingzi sighed, "That's it!" Call her over! We don't have anything to lose left or right. ”

Wen Ye heard Lu Qingzi say this, so he said to the woman, "Come here!" I won't hurt you. ”

Although the woman was still timid, a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
