Chapter 360: Smoke and Rain

Good rain knows the season, and the misty and rainy Jiangnan is even more intoxicating.

However, in a county town in Huzhou, it is full of a chilling killing atmosphere!

I don't know if it's because of the rain, or because of the knife-wielding county soldiers wearing hats and robes, so that the people in the county town have closed their doors and windows, and the atmosphere is like a haze in the sky, which can only feel heavy and depressing......

A carriage with a small vermilion bird flag erected under the front eaves, under the light rain, under the respectful and envious gaze of the county soldiers on the street, all the way through the streets and alleys, and finally went to the outside of an inn.

"Su Niang, it's here!" The middle-aged man who was driving the car whispered into the car.

Although the people in the car were all dressed in men's clothes, a melancholy and delicate face that could be blown and broken could not hide her delicate feminine breath at all.

"I'm sorry to wait a minute." After the woman dressed as a man finished speaking, she slowly got out of the car by holding on to the car door, and then opened the paper umbrella and walked towards the inn.

Soon after, there was a knock on the door of one of the inn's rooms.

"My sister is here!" The door opened, and it was a beautiful woman dressed as a man.

"When such a big thing happens, my sister can still laugh!" The person who spoke outside the door was the woman who came by carriage before, and she was also the famous talented girl Liu Niangzi in Jiangnan!

And opposite her, the woman standing in the room is also quite prestigious, but she is the notorious Cao Dacai girl!

Cao Luorong let Liu Su into the room, closed the door and asked directly, "Have you brought the Vermilion Bird Flag?" ”

"If I don't bring it, how can I get in!" Liu Su sighed very melancholy, and said, "Okay, sister, go back to Suzhou with me quickly." ”

"Why should I go back?" Cao Luorong snorted coldly, and without waiting for Liu Su to ask suspiciously, she said bluntly: "The Huating Mansion order is too deceitful, I can't swallow this breath no matter what!" ”

"Because of this, you have to go back to Gusu with me and ask the princess for help, with her coming forward, Uncle Cao will definitely be fine!"

"It's hard for me to see!" Cao Luorong shook her head and smiled, and said: "This matter is too involved, not only my father was arrested, but the yamen of several counties next door were also controlled, I guess, the whole thing should be far more than that, when you came, did you find that there were guards on the official road on the border of Huzhou?" ”

"Indeed!" Liu Su was slightly surprised.

Cao Luorong sneered and said, "Even so, can't you see what those people want to do!" ”

Liu Suliu frowned, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and said in disbelief: "No! ”

"I hope not, but now that it's come to this, what's impossible?" Cao Luorong shook her head, her eyes were slightly red and said: "When I first arrived here, I felt that there was something strange everywhere, before the victims of the disaster in Huzhou, the government notice wrote how big the disaster was, especially the Lou County next door, which is the most important thing to be harmed by the chaotic people, the notice mentioned that more than half of it was destroyed, but when I went over to check, I found that the destroyed houses were all wooden beams full of insect eyes, and the walls were old and old broken houses!" I also persuaded my father to transfer out of this place, even if I go back to the small county of Suzhou, any county is more reassuring than being a county commander here! But ......"

"Why can such a big thing be hidden for so long? Could it be that they are in my sister's mouth! Can you cover the sky with one hand? Liu Su was surprised.

"This is their strength, not to mention covering the sky with one hand, it is simply swallowing the sky in one mouth!" Cao Luorong sneered even more, walked to the table and picked up the teacup and took a sip, and continued: "In terms of the drama of the evil eye, this is a farce, acting in pathos, singing in relief, and in the end, earning painstaking efforts!" ”

"But if you do this kind of fraud, how can the local people not know that those people can stop you, and as a result, they will only be reduced to a laughing stock."

As soon as Liu Su finished speaking, Cao Luorong sneered: "But you came all the way, have you ever seen people laughing?" ”

Liu Su was speechless, Mo said that she came with the rain all the way, and she didn't see a few people, even if she did, whether people laughed or not, why they laughed, or why they were silent, how could she know.

However, the atmosphere in Huzhou was indeed very depressing, and Uncle Cao was also thrown into a dungeon for such trumped-up charges as colluding with the remnants of the rebellion.

"The other party is so powerful, I'm afraid that the princess won't be able to settle it, so what is my sister going to do?" Liu Su sighed.

"I've already thought about it, go to Beijing and beat the drum!"

"Ahh Liu Su was shocked: "Sister, haven't you been pretending to be crazy for a long time, and you are really crazy, right?" ”

"You're crazy!" Cao Luorong glanced at Liu Su and said: "Once the drums sound, there will be a chance to complain to the saint, no matter what the result is, my father will be escorted to Beijing for trial, if the Huating Mansion Order does not want to make a big deal about it, the best way is to take advantage of the fact that the people of Dali Temple have not intervened, saying that my father was falsely accused by gangsters, and it has been ascertained, and I ask Your Majesty to reinstate my father, or ......"

When Cao Luorong said this, her emotions suddenly weakened, and she said quietly: "On the way to my father's illness and death!" ”

After saying that, Cao Luorong suddenly smiled again, as if she had recovered her spirits, and patted Liu Su's shoulder in turn, and comforted with a smile: "No matter what, at least there is a glimmer of life!" Good sister, would you like to accompany your sister to the capital to have fun? ”

Lose your marbles!

Liu Su felt that her sister was really crazy at the moment, but if she didn't stab the sky, how could she rescue Uncle Cao? And, the Cao family, who are now under house arrest!

"If I don't go with my sister, I'm afraid that with her temperament, she will not only stab the sky, but also break the sky!" Liu Su sighed in her heart, and said bitterly on her face: "Okay, but along the way, my sister had better listen to me!" ”

"Rest assured, I know the severity!"

Cao An squatted in prison, and the Cao family was also under house arrest, and although Cao Luorong had taken precautions in advance and was not at home on the day Cao An was arrested, it was still difficult for her to get out of the county, unless, she got a sharp weapon! A sharp weapon that can be unimpeded in the south of the Yangtze River, the Vermilion Bird Flag!

The Vermilion Bird Banner is a kind of glory and proof of identity of the Jiangnan scholars, but not all the scholars in Jiangnan can use it, and there are only three families that can still make the Vermilion Bird Banner, even the Qin family and the Liu family are not qualified, let alone ordinary people.

But on the contrary, there is such a person who will selflessly dedicate himself to Liu Su, and that is the seventh son of the Gusu Lu family!

As long as you put the Vermilion Bird Flag in the carriage, no one will stop you even if you drive around the Fuwei military camp, let alone the little county soldiers.

Therefore, the two women sat in the car and went out of Shanghai unimpeded all the way and returned to Suzhou safely.

"Su Niang, let's go back and get some silver taels first and then go to the capital!" Feng Bo already knew that Liu Su was going to accompany Cao Luorong to Beijing, saying that he was trying to rescue the wronged Cao An, but he couldn't object, so he could only accompany him.

Liu Su was just about to respond, but Cao Luorong was busy saying: "No need to spend this time, I know that a guy is very rich!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Su pursed her lips and smiled, her shamelessness towards this sister had reached the point of acquiescence.

Therefore, the carriage did not go south, but drove directly upstream along the river, aiming directly at Jinling. (To be continued.) )
