"The slave family has slept, the weather is cold, and I am afraid that the child will be frozen when I get up, so you can sleep in the firewood room by yourself!"

Li Hongji was stunned when he heard this, yes, it was freezing cold this day, and he didn't freeze to death when he slept in the firewood room!

But when I think about it again, what the lady said may not be unreasonable, if you come to open the door, it will not be good if you get cold and frostbite.

Thinking of this, he reluctantly replied, "Okay!" Then when she turned her head and wanted to leave, the woman inside spoke again, with a hint of annoyance in her tone: "Why don't you stay at the post station, make a little more money and come back to the family, why do you come back after it is so dark?" ”

Li Hongji said in his heart, since the lady asked, it is better to say it later than to say it early.

So, he adjusted his tone, and said as carefully as possible: "Lady, I lost the official document and was exposed by a person surnamed Zhang in Yan'an Mansion, so I lost the ...... of this post man."

When he said this, the yellow-faced man with a long beard flashed in his mind, and he secretly hated in his heart, if he had the opportunity, he would definitely take revenge.

In history, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong looked like each other, and finally turned against each other publicly, which may not be without this factor. Of course, no one knows if there is one.

Li Hongji immediately quickened his tone and hurriedly reported the good news, lest the lady be angry: "But I have to meet a nobleman, I have a job, and now I have earned one or two white flowers." Lady, it's true, I have verified it on the way back, and it is indeed real silver......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard an angry voice from the woman inside: "Get out, you loser man, you have lost all your good job as a post station, you get out of the old lady!" ”

When Li Hongji heard this, the lady finally got angry, he was afraid that the lady would be angry, so he hurriedly agreed to go to the firewood room.

On this cold day, it is indeed enough to sleep in this firewood room. Li Hongji tossed and turned all night, and only fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

He didn't know that while he was asleep, a person came out of the main room and sneaked away.

The next day, while he was still asleep, he heard a loud noise. Immediately afterward, someone kicked open the door of the firewood room and pounced on him.

In the inn, until dawn, Hu Guang and the others had breakfast, and they waited for a long time before seeing Li Hongji over.

Wang Heizi first scolded and scolded, saying that this rice fat man is really lazy, and he can't come to do things after three poles in the sun.

Liu Daneng smiled wordlessly and shook his head at Hu Guang. It means to tell Hu Guang that he is probably right to worry last night.

To be honest, Hu Guang was also slightly disappointed. But since he decided to help him, he won't come if he doesn't come.

After waiting for a while and still not seeing any trace of Li Hongji, Hu Guang suspected Wang Heizi of being noisy, and was sent out by him to inquire about Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. And he himself plans to go out for a walk and see the situation of this rice fat.

Hu Guang took the guards around, and found that the rice fat was actually inferior to Fugu. There is a shortage of materials and prices are extremely expensive.

It stands to reason that the environment here is more suitable for rebellion. Because there are more people who can't survive, as long as someone takes the lead.

But the current situation is that Fugu has rebelled, but Mizhi has not. Hu Guang wondered, aren't Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong from Mizhi County, why didn't they take the lead in rebellion, and they had to wait a few more years?

The weather was cold, there were few pedestrians on the street, and Hu Guang didn't have much interest in looking any further, so he went back to the inn.

As soon as I turned a street and was about to return to the inn, I heard the sound of a gong in front of me, and at the same time someone was still shouting: "Come and see, come and see, those who dare to owe my master money and don't pay it back will be sent to the official to be punished!" Come and see, everyone......"

Hu Guang and the others turned their heads to look and saw a group of people holding sticks and a man tied to them, escorting him towards them.

Although there was a lot of movement, there were very few onlookers, and most of them looked around and then retracted.

Hu Guang was standing at the door of a shop at this time, and the guy in the store also looked at it curiously, immediately shrank back, and finally muttered: "I don't know who owes Ai Juren a debt and doesn't pay it, it's really bold, don't you know that his nickname is Gaihu?" ”

Hu Guang listened to it, but he was not moved. I've seen a lot of cannibalism, not to mention this kind of old man who doesn't pay back the money he owes and gets caught!

His guards were also scattered on the sidelines, watching the play. The four little ones take a little bit of food, and they can't stop in their mouths, and they don't care about this kind of nosy.

The old man seemed to be very uncooperative, so that the people who held him also struggled, pushing and shoving.

It's also true, Lao Lai definitely doesn't want to see officials!

I got closer, and there was a faint voice.

"You let me go and let me go to the inn...... I promise not to run ......"

"Hmph, there are many people with your surname Li, let you go, you must have run away, and you will be hidden by your people, where will you find you......"

"No, I'll go to the inn to find someone, I took the money, I can't help but go...... I really don't want to run......"

Hearing this, Hu Guang's brows furrowed, and this voice was a little familiar.

After getting closer, Li Dingguo suddenly pointed at the man in surprise and said, "Hey, isn't this the person from yesterday?" ”

Hu Guang also just heard it, he really didn't expect that Li Hongji would become an old man in a blink of an eye and be tied up and taken to the yamen.

He immediately walked over, stopped in the middle of the road, and asked with a hint of curiosity, "What is the matter with you?" ”

The man who struck the gong saw a boy in brocade clothes come out to question, and immediately pointed at Li Hongji, who was tied up, and said: "This guy doesn't pay off his debts, my family has said it, send him to the county government to punish the crime!" ”

He deliberately put an accent on the word "lifting" to highlight the identity of his master.

Li Hongji's hands were cut backwards, his head was raised down, and when he heard the sound, he immediately struggled up, and when he looked up, he saw that it was indeed Hu Guang.

He hurriedly said loudly: "Childe, the villain has caused trouble, and there is no way to find someone for Childe." I want to go to the inn to tell you, but I can't get out, so I'm really helpless......"

Hearing that Li Hongji actually knew this brocade-clothed boy with a guard, the men who were holding him couldn't help but let go of their hands, allowing him to straighten up.

"The villain didn't do anything, he should have returned your one or two pieces of silver, but now that it has fallen into their hands, it really can't come out, the villain is ashamed of the son!"

Saying that, he knelt down, lowered his head and said, "The villain kowtowed to you first, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely pay back this silver!" ”

Hu Guang frowned, reached out to support him and said, "How much money do you owe them, do you need to shout and kill like this?" ”

He had a good impression of Li Hongji who was still struggling to go to the inn to inform him about this just now, and thought that this person also had a pregnant wife at home, and if he didn't have him, he was afraid that the whole family would suffer, so he asked this question.

For him now, things that can be solved with money are not things!
