At this time, even the workers who were carrying the goods stopped what they were doing and gathered around. Since ancient times, Chinese people have had a good habit of watching the excitement, and now when they see the usually arrogant eunuchs being beaten, they are as excited as if they were beaten with chicken blood, and they ran over with a sigh.

The few tax collectors in the distance on the wharf saw that there was a big commotion here. The ruler said, "Go and disperse the crowd, don't meddle in your business, don't do anything." "It turns out that these few tax collectors belong to the household department, and the eunuch is the big one, usually a few eunuchs fight the situation, and they don't bully them less, today someone came out to clean up these guys, and they were too late to be happy, and the officials were also afraid of stirring up a civil uprising, so the matter would be a big trouble.

More than a dozen officials came over, just shouting outside the crowd: "It's all gone, it's all gone."

Because there were too many people, the voice couldn't spread far at all, at this time the crowd was excited, and the clods of soil and stones smashed on the eunuchs one by one, and several eunuchs no longer shouted anti-thieves, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, and the blood on their heads was smashed by stones, and there was a eunuch who only said good things to everyone, and there was no longer the domineering spirit just now. But the anger of those people has been accumulated for a long time, and it is not enough to dispel it with a few kind words, and it is my actions that have ignited this powder keg today.

At this moment, a person in the crowd pulled me, and I saw that it was the old man, and followed him out of the crowd. After coming out, I didn't stay, the old man took me, spared a big circle on the street, and when no one was paying attention behind me, I entered a silk shop on the street.

At that time, the place where clothes were made was also a place where cloth was sold, so if you bought cloth, if you wanted to make clothes, there was a tailor in the shop, and the tailor gave you a good measure, and you would come to get the clothes in a few days.

The old man brought me in and said, "Pick two sets of clothes, hurry up, and change them when you have picked them." ”

I didn't say anything, the guy showed me the clothes, I picked out a black cardigan that is popular this year, and then picked a white caftan, now the weather is getting cooler, and the climate here is much cooler than when I was in Jinan.

The old man paid the silver and asked me to put on the popular color, except for the crown on my head, the old man asked the guy to help me comb a scholar's bun, and when the man couldn't see it, the old man stuffed me with a fake beard to put on.

The old man himself bought a piece of clothing to change into, and after changing the clothes, he bought a furoshiki and wrapped it into a bag, and I carried it on my back and followed the old man out of the shop.

After coming out, the old man said: "We are in trouble, after you left just now, I caught the one who was following behind, they are not from the Yamen of the Governor of Jinan, they are from the Yin Demon Sect, I am afraid of being discovered, so I tied him up and found a courtyard where no one lived, and locked him up, I just asked roughly, and we will ask in detail in the evening, according to the man, this time they came a lot of people, and they want to solve a few of us here." Look at what to do now, the place where we live has been monitored, the two of us can't go back, Miss Wei and Mr. Wang will be in danger, how can we rescue them. ”

I didn't expect the situation to be so serious, it seems that the eunuch that the old man met in the governor's yamen that night should be from the Yin Demon Sect, they are afraid that we will come to the capital and divulge their secrets, and they want to kill us here.

I thought for a while and said, "Old man, you are too conspicuous, only I will go back and inform them and rescue them with the camera." You see that I change my clothes now, and very few people know me, and they won't do it before it gets dark, I think they will do it in the middle of the night, and it's still too late. ”

"Alright then, after you go and rescue them, we'll leave in the evening, I'll hire two carriages, bring that Yin Demon Sect with me, the city gate will be closed at the end of the hour, and I'll wait for you outside the city."

After the old man finished speaking, he parted with me and left, and I also went down the street to the inn.

When I came to the inn, I didn't go in, but walked around the inn, and sure enough, there were a few suspicious people walking around on each side. There were a dozen of them on all sides, and if they went out from the courtyard wall, it would be impossible not to alarm them, and it seemed that they would have to find a way from the inn.

I came to the front door of the inn again and entered the inn, because I had changed my clothes, and the guy didn't know me anymore, so he was busy greeting me: "Is the guest officer staying in the hotel, this is a good guest room, and there is an affordable Chase shop, and the guest officer must be going to the room." ”

"Of course, it's the upper room, and Lao Tzu is not short of silver, take me to see the room. Uncle, I'm optimistic, but there is a reward. I also said in the tone of those rich people in society.

The guy had never seen anyone, and knew that I was a rich lord, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, guest officer, please come with me, the upper room in the backyard is clean, I'll take you to see it." ”

When I came to the inner courtyard, I deliberately pointed to Wei Zihan's courtyard and said, "That courtyard is good, just live there." The guy said: "Guest officer, the courtyard has already been packed, guest officer, you can take a look and choose another one." "No, I'll just want that." As he spoke, I walked into the courtyard, and the guy was anxious in the back: "There are female dependents in the guest officer's family, so you can't mess around." ”

The two of us were at the gate of the yard, noisy, and they had already alarmed a few of the Shunzi, seeing that I insisted on coming to the yard, and the Shunzi also came to the gate of the yard and blocked the door to prevent me from entering. At this time, Wei Zihan and Wang Jinhuai also came out, and I have confirmed that they are still in the inn. I didn't dare to say anything, my voice was familiar to them, but I said to the guy in a hoarse voice: "Since there are people, then the uncle wants this room next door." "Next door to our yard is also a yard, there are a lot of individual guests, in that room you can clearly see what happened in our yard, the guy took me away from the Shunzi few, to the room I designated, the Shunzi watched me leave, and then dispersed, but Wei Zihan, has been looking at my departing back, did not enter the room.

The man took me into the guest room, I took out some broken silver, and threw it to the man: "This is a reward for you, go and get some hot water for the uncle, and the uncle will wipe his body." The man looked at the broken silver in his hand, estimated that it was more than one or two, more than his two months' salary, and his face was as happy as the summer sun, so he almost knelt down for me: "Uncle, please okay, I'll go immediately, tell me if you need to tell me." The villain is very familiar with Tongzhou, if you want to buy food or sell fun, I will take you there. "That guy saw that I was rich and thought that he had met the God of Wealth.

I pretended to be impatient and said, "I'll go fetch water first, and I'll call you if I need anything." The man answered and walked away quickly, for he was so excited that he almost tripped when he reached the door.
