Chapter 80: Chaos
The officials outside the paper shop in the south of the city still did not move, as if they were waiting for some orders. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info They naturally came over on the orders of the prefect, and since the master was still in the sedan chair and was not in a hurry, they were even less anxious. Some put water and fire sticks on the ground, and some tickled them with quick knives.
There was no movement in the paper shop, and as long as the people inside did not burrow into the ground, not a single fly could fly. However, they may not know that the people inside are really good at burrowing into the ground.
Gu Zizhang finished urinating in the sedan chair with a night pot, walked to Lin Ruhai's sedan chair, and said slowly: "Lin Yushi, the time is almost up. If you drag the mud and water any longer, you will be derelict in your duty. ”
Although it is in Yangzhou City, this is involving the salt road, and Lin Ruhai took the initiative to contact him, so he naturally has to look at Lin Ruhai's face to act. Patrolling the history of the salt court, it was the holy hand-pick, compared to the prefect of the fourth grade like him, the starting point of the people is much higher.
But at this time, Gu Zizhang's eyebrows were flying, and he was very excited. Big Salt Owl Yang Xinyong, if things are done properly, this political achievement is enough to rise to another level! Thinking about it, Gu Zizhang was a little excited.
Lin Ruhai nodded, it seemed that it was a little difficult to ride a donkey, and said hesitantly: "Let's do it." ”
Gu Zizhang smiled and said, "Today, we will definitely be able to make some gains, and you and I are expected to be promoted." Only Lin Ruhai in the sedan chair, his face was not so good-looking, shaking his head and sighing.
Gu Zizhang was just about to order the officials to go in and arrest him, but his face suddenly changed.
Whizzing arrows, with firelight, kept falling on the doors and windows of the bookstore in the south of the city.
Immediately after, there was the sound of horses' hooves.
"Who!"
Suddenly, a cavalry flew in the city, and the leading general dismounted, saluted Gu Zizhang, and said: "Gu Gong, I received a report that there are bandits plotting to make trouble, so I specially came to reinforce it." ”
Gu Zizhang saw that the fire was about to rise, and scolded angrily: "What kind of bandits, this mansion is arresting the salt lord Yang Xinyong, come on, hurry up and put out the fire!" "If this burns out, what proof is there?
The leading general stopped Gu Zizhang into the sedan chair and said slowly: "It's dangerous here, the bandits may desperately kill at any time, come here, send Gu Gong back to his house!" ”
"What a reason! The old man wants to join your Yangzhou City Defense Battalion, which is an obstacle to official business! ”
The leading general seemed to have received an iron order, and forcibly sent Gu Zizhang's sedan chair away without saying anything. A cadre of officials ran away like a fake card meets a genuine card. Although they are all soldiers, they are their own sons, and they ...... At most, it's a temporary worker, and it's better to go as far as you want.
Lin Ruhai looked at the raging flames, looked at them with some concern, and sighed: "Get up the sedan chair and go home." ”
"Lady Goshi, slow down."
Lin Ruhai didn't get out of the sedan chair and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The armor-piercing general did not bring a helmet, stood by the sedan chair and said, "Inspector Sun asked the little one to bring you a message." ”
"Say."
"During the Lantern Festival, the Overseer ordered a table of vegetarian food at the Qiling Temple, and invited Lord Yushi to enjoy it."
Lin Ruhai let out a long sigh and said, "Then bother the captain to bring a message to Inspector Sun." There is a reason for this, and Lin will explain it to him personally at that time. This sentence also means that Lin Ruhai will definitely go to the banquet.
"By all means."
As he spoke, the paper shop in the south of the city turned into a raging fire. There were no other buildings on either side, and when the firefighter in charge of fire fighting arrived "just right", the bookstore in the south of the city was already a pile of ashes.
The soldiers poured some water on it, lest the sparks would disperse as they extended, and no one knew why the fire had started and why it had ended in vain.
……
……
Outside the city, the boy with the pig and the scholar with the bamboo tube searched a little nervously.
"Hey, Xiaofan. Do you really believe in this pig? ”
Yun Xiaofan grabbed a handful of mixed rice bran from the cloth bag on his waist, gave it to the little suckling pig, and continued to follow the little pig. He looked at the setting sun and said, "I believe in the young master. ”
Shun scratched his ears and cheeks, and said, "I really shouldn't go out of the city." It's so big outside, relying on a pig to guide the way, I think the young master's head is broken, and we are more like stupid donkeys! ”
The little suckling pig led by Yun Xiaofan sniffed east and west, and suddenly arched towards a place frantically as if he had found some treasure. Yun Xiaofan let go of the rope, and the two saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes, and hurriedly followed.
The mound showed signs of freshly turning, and the two of them stepped on the soft mound of dirt, and seemed to hear the sound of sobbing.
"There's someone down there!"
In the middle of nowhere, a few stewards dug a pit that was not deep, that is, three inches of thin soil. The people inside were tied hand and foot, and the box was sealed again, so naturally they wanted to suffocate them alive, even if they couldn't suffocate to death, they would starve to death.
"It's a box!" Yun Xiaofan exclaimed.
Shun Yu took out a sharp axe from behind his back, raised it above his head, and was about to fall, but was intercepted by Yun Xiaofan empty-handed, "I'm going to die, there are people inside." If you go down with this axe, half your life will be gone. I'll come here, there's new soil over there, you go and dig it up. ”
"Uh-oh." Shunyo ran over with some trepidation. He had never done such an exciting thing, except that day when he was like a god on the Bird Cloud Tower, monitoring the entire southern district of Yangzhou.
Yun Xiaofan slashed towards the four corners of the box. The nails of the sealed box knocked off, the box was opened, and the eyes of several dying beggars were white.
The long-lost sunshine, the long-lost fresh earthy smell, the six or seven people who escaped death weakly felt the beautiful breath of freedom.
After rescuing everyone in the box, the two teenagers collapsed exhausted in the soft dirt. The rice bran in the cloth bag around Yun Xiaofan's waist was sprinkled out, and the little suckling pig was eating excitedly, arching to Yun Xiaofan's waist while eating.
Yun Xiaofan hugged the little suckling pig that had grown up and kissed him fiercely, his mouth was full of rice bran, but he was very happy.
"The young master is really powerful."
Shun Yu pillowed the bamboo tube and grinned: "Of course the young master is amazing." ”
The sunset gradually ended, and the teenagers outside the city seemed to see the dawn again.
The relieved beggars in the box were complaining.
"I said, you two, can you pull us up and talk later?"
……
……
Lin Lan, who was running away in disgrace outside the city, was still intercepted when he was still a mile away from the city.
"Two ...... If you have something to say, can we not use our hands and feet? ”
The two big men, who didn't seem to be in the same group as the cavalry, squeezed Lin Lan's shoulders vigorously.
"Lin Xiaoguan, let's meet again."
Lin Lan's eyes froze, "Zhao Long Zhao Hu?" He was so frightened that when he saw Zhao Long and Zhao Hu, he was both relieved and a little puzzled.
He meows, why is there an old thief with Wang Yan everywhere......
