Chapter Eighty-Three: The Night Walking Crisis
At the east city gate, there are already officers and soldiers guarding here.
There are also some people who want to go out of the city at the city gate, and it is a bit troublesome if there are too many people. A small number of people can also make a little silver accommodating, and now many people are afraid that it is not easy.
Anyway, you have to try it first, and the officers and soldiers stopped in front of their ox carts: "What are you doing!" The gates are temporarily closed, all go back! ”
Su Yunran jumped out of the ox cart and walked over: "This eldest brother, the old mother in the family is seriously ill, and we finally borrowed an ox cart to buy medicine in the town. If you can't get back in time, it's a life! ”
Yao Chunjing also came over and knelt down directly: "Big brother, please you, let us go out!" You see, there's nothing on our ox cart, so you can search inside and out. We really rushed back to save our lives, and the old mother at home died when it was late! ”
Yao Chunjing cried so miserably, Su Yunran quietly stuffed two taels of silver into the man's hand: "Please also ask the eldest brother to make it convenient, saving people is like fighting a fire, I really can't afford to delay for a moment!" ”
The man put the silver in his belt, turned around and beckoned to the others: "There is a person here who is in a hurry to save people, everyone search carefully, don't miss it." ”
The soldiers not only searched the ox cart clean, but also compared the appearance of the three men with the portraits.
"Alright, you can go." As soon as the soldier's voice fell, he immediately started a commotion.
"Why! Why can they go? We also have an urgent matter at home! It's not fair, we can also let you search carefully, can we also let us go first? ”
Su Yunran expected that there would be such a person, but if I am not happy, others should not be happy.
Yao Chunjing said anxiously: "My old mother knocked a blood hole on her head, and the blood did not stop, if we don't bring the medicine back, she will die!" I beg you, that's a human life! ”
At this time, there will definitely be a very discordant voice: "Who doesn't have an emergency at home?" I also have a seriously ill old mother waiting for me to go back and take a last look! ”
Yao Chunjing was anxious and angry, Su Yunran didn't care about these people, just looked directly at the soldier: "Big brother, it's urgent, please!" ”
The soldier couldn't suppress these voices, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that if he wanted to lure the people above him, he would be a little unbearable.
Su Yunran stuffed another five taels of silver, and the soldier's heart that just wanted to refuse was shaken again: "It's not that I don't help, you can also see it, so many people are still waiting, and you will definitely be angry if you leave first." ”
Su Yunran didn't care about the anger of these people, she only knew that Lu Dalin's mother was now hanging by a thread.
"If someone in their family was really sick, how could they wait until this time to say it? But we really can't afford to spend it with them, and the patient may die at any time. Su Yunran's eyes were sharp, and the soldier lost his mind for a moment.
"Good ......" he said a good word, and his voice had not yet fallen, but at this time there was a change again.
"Stop, no one can get out of this city gate until the fugitives are caught!" A captain in armor looked at Su Yunran sharply, and there was a warning in his eyes.
Yao Chunjing grabbed Su Yunran's arm: "Xiao Ran, what should I do?" If it continues like this, I'm afraid that my mother will ......"
Su Yunran's face was very ugly, and she was also anxious, but now that the city gate was closed, no one could get out. Who knows where the so-called fugitives are? By the time the officials have captured the fugitives, it may be two or three days away.
Su Yunran's fearless gaze met the captain, and she stepped forward and said, "Dare to ask this military master, if we can't be arrested today or tomorrow, will we never be able to leave the city?" ”
The lieutenant nodded: "Yes, when the fugitive is caught, this city gate will be opened." ”
Su Yunran didn't ask anything more, got into the car and asked Lu Dalin to turn around and leave.
The lieutenant sneered and said, "Don't work in vain, all the city gates are closed, and you can't get out of any gate." ”
Lu Dalin was already a little broken, and he had no intention of driving and letting the scalper walk slowly.
A-Qing, who had fallen asleep, woke up: "Sister, why are we still in the town?" ”
Su Yunran said helplessly: "The city gate is closed, and we are afraid that we will not be able to get out for the time being." It's such a coincidence, the county order and Hezhen are not in the county office, and it is not possible to drag a relationship for convenience. ”
Ah Qing tilted his head and thought about it, and suddenly said in surprise: "Sister, why don't you go to Master Zhang for help!" Although he is not an official, others seem to respect him. ”
Su Yunran slapped her head hard, why did she forget Old Man Zhang.
Although he has now returned to his hometown, his influence is still very great. Besides, he also has a son who is in Tianling Academy!
Hurry up and let Lu Dalin drive to Zhang's mansion, fortunately, Mr. Zhang is at home.
"Girl, you haven't been to my house for a long time." Mr. Zhang is in good health and in good spirits, and he is pruning flowers and plants in the yard.
"Old man, I want to ask you something...... Su Yunran told Lu Dalin's mother about it, and now the whole city is closed.
Old Man Zhang put down the scissors and stroked his beard, his brows furrowed. Su Yunran thought that this matter was a little difficult to do, but he didn't expect Old Man Zhang to say angrily: "It's just nonsense!" If it weren't for wartime, how could the city gates be blocked casually! Just to catch a little fugitive, the people of this yamen are bastards! ”
Su Yunran breathed a sigh of relief: "Old man, can you send us out of the city?" ”
Old Man Zhang nodded, called the housekeeper and gave a few instructions.
Soon the housekeeper prepared a carriage, and Su Yunran followed behind with their ox cart. The carriage went straight to the city gates, but the soldiers stopped the carriage anyway.
"Bastard, keep your dog's eyes open, this is Zhang's carriage!" The momentum of the coachman in Zhang's mansion was no worse than that of the soldiers.
The soldier snorted coldly: "I don't care if you are the carriage of the Zhang Mansion or the Li Mansion, now that the whole city is closed, no one is allowed to go out!" ”
Old Man Zhang sneered in the carriage: "Who ordered the closure of the city?" Go and call him to me. As he spoke, he handed a token from the carriage, and the soldier took it and saw that his legs were limp.
Su Yunran didn't know that although Old Man Zhang had retired, the emperor still gave him a token, and he could exercise supervisory authority within the jurisdiction of Linzhou. From the feudal officials to the small sesame officials, they all have the right to dispose of it.
After a while, the high-spirited captain ran over: "Humble to participate in Master Zhang." ”
Old Man Zhang snorted coldly: "Ignorant child, closing the city gate is a measure that can only be seen in wartime, and now in order to catch a fugitive, he is so bold and reckless to make such a big move to cause the people to be uneasy!" ”
The lieutenant lowered his head, he was just following orders, he didn't dare to carry this pot!
"Still stunned for what to do, open the city gates! If you catch a thief, you will catch a thief, and strict inventory is. "Old man Zhang has spoken, where does the captain dare to disobey.
Su Yunran bowed to Old Man Zhang: "Thank you, old man, then let's go first!" ”
Old Man Zhang smiled and nodded: "Now that the world is chaotic, the sky is about to darken, you must be careful on the way back!" This ox cart will be put on my house first, and you will take my carriage to save people. ”
Lu Dalin and Yao Chunjing hurriedly knelt down to thank them, hugged Ah Qing into the carriage, and the four of them hurriedly ran towards Shanghe Village.
To say that this day is really not beautiful, not long after leaving the city, the sky is gray, and it seems that a heavy rain is brewing.
Lu Dalin rode the carriage at the fastest speed, and in less than a quarter of an hour the rain poured down.
This mountain road is not easy to walk, and when it rains, the mud will become muddy, and the road surface will become even more dented.
There was a boom, a thunderclap, and the stones on the mountain kept rolling down.
"Everyone hurry up, this road is not easy." Lu Dalin shouted loudly, and the speed of the carriage became very slow.
"Neigh......" A horse barked, and it refused to go any further.
"What's wrong?" Su Yunran lifted the curtain and came out to look, there was a landslide in front of him, and the falling stones almost occupied half of the road.
The stones were still rolling down, and the horse sensed the danger, so he refused to go no matter how much he pumped it.
There was no way, Lu Dalin had to jump out of the carriage and pull it forward with the reins. The sound of the stones rolling down was particularly frightening, as if they had passed by the side of the carriage.
The thunder rumbled in his ears, and Su Yunran had the illusion of being in the Jin Ge Iron Horse at this moment. The sound of heartbeats was more chaotic than thunder, and the uneasiness spread.
Not good, not good...... I can't suppress the bad feelings.
There was a loud click, causing the horses to jump and neigh again. Danger, it perceives danger better than people......
