Chapter 280: Escape from the Tiger's Mouth

After listening to Ling Xiu'er's words, Yeluda smiled heartily.

"What are you laughing at, did you hear what I said?" Ling Xiu'er was a little dissatisfied, and she kindly reminded him that he was still smiling like a nobody.

"Don't worry, I've always been afraid that he won't check me, and now she takes the initiative to check me, I'm quite happy." Seeing that she was upset, Yeluda hurriedly explained.

"You're a man." Ling Xiu'er rolled her eyes and asked, "What bad idea are you holding back?" ”

"Haha, what's the matter, I just prepared a big gift for her, waiting for her to come and get it in person." Yeluda glanced at Ling Xiu'er proudly, "I'll go back first." ”

"Don't go." Ling Xiu'er shouted at him to stop.

"What's wrong?" Yeluda turned back and asked with a puzzled expression, "Do you have anything else?" ”

"It's not a big deal." Ling Xiu'er paused, and said unconfidently, "Don't worry, I don't know why, I want to go to the county today, do you have time, accompany me." ”

"Well, alright, let's go." Yeluda nodded and followed Ling Xiu'er to the county.

Cao Yu was chatting with his uncle all the way, and there was no fixed topic for the left and right sentences. But he also heard some important news.

It turned out that it was not uncommon to mix cotton in silk and sell it, which shocked him. These businessmen really do anything for money.

He was already a literati, and when he heard about this kind of thing, he was already holding grievances for the people who were victimized. It would be nice if he could do something about it, but now he is being hunted down and wanted.

Thinking of this, his fists clenched tightly, and his face was also sad.

"Uncle, how did this method come out in the first place?" Cao Yu forcibly suppressed the injustice in his heart and politely asked his uncle.

The uncle thought for a while and replied, "It's Fan Meihua's brother Fan Si, he came up with it." After that, those silkworm households followed suit, and now it has become a trend. ”

Cao Yu's heart sank after hearing this, he had already realized the seriousness of this matter. If this continues, and the price of cotton rises, then what will happen to those ordinary people who can only wear linen cloth in the end? Let those greedy businessmen make a lot of money? What about the reputation of the cloth village?

Cao Yu secretly made up his mind in his heart that when he returned from his crimes, he must report to the Holy Lord and say that this matter is completely over.

"Fan Si, good you Fan Si. I'm going to see what you're up to. Cao Yu thought secretly in his heart.

The carriage soon arrived at the city gate, and Cao Yu planned to follow his uncle into the city, but he suddenly saw his wanted notice.

His wanted notice was clearly posted on the side of the city gate, and the drawing was particularly clear. The uncle who was catching the car noticed Cao Yu's strange appearance, and also looked in his direction, and naturally saw the wanted notice.

Cao Yu was anxious, he didn't expect that he was on the wanted warrant, and now that he was seen by his uncle, would he help himself?

Cao Yu wanted to jump out of the car and run away immediately, but now that they had arrived at the city gate, running like this would attract the attention of the guards, and it was more likely to be caught. He was so struggling right now that he didn't know what to do.

Seeing that he had arrived at the gate of the city, Cao Yu gritted his teeth and said that it was a big deal, if he was not discovered, he would be lucky, and if he was discovered, he would find a way to run. He really hates himself now for being a scholar, if he is a chivalrous man with high martial arts, where is he afraid of these guards.

The uncle next to him didn't speak, as if nothing had happened, and then drove the car. Seeing that the uncle was so calm, Cao Yu also forced himself to calm down.

"Cao Yu, you have to calm down, the uncle saw the wanted notice but didn't report you, which means that he is willing to help you now, as long as you can come up with a way to get through"

At this moment, he was in a hurry, and pulled a rag from the side of the car to wrap himself around, revealing only a pair of eyes.

The car soon reached the city gate and was stopped by the guards.

"Come down and get checked."

The guard stepped forward, flipped over the car, found that it was just some ordinary silk, and turned his gaze back to the uncle and Cao Yu.

The uncle walked in front of the guards with Cao Yu and flattered: "Master Jun, look, I am bringing my younger brother to sell silk." We are all good citizens, look at us, let us in. ”

The guard glanced at the uncle, searched him briefly, whistled briskly, and said, "Okay, you can go in." ”

The uncle looked simple and dressed very plainly, and quickly passed the inspection, and then Cao Yu was next.

His strange appearance made the guards look at him suspiciously.

"What's the matter with you?" The guard asked him sharply.

"This official, we are here to deliver cotton, you raise your noble hand and let us in."

"I didn't ask you." The guard impatiently pushed the uncle away, and then approached Cao Yu, "I ask you kid, why don't you speak?" Why cover your face with a cloth? ”

Cao Yu didn't know how to answer, so she had to pretend to be deaf and dumb. He looked at the guards suspiciously, shaking his head to indicate that he couldn't hear clearly.

"I want you to take the cloth off!" The guard was angry, and he directly started to tear the cloth off Cao Yu's face. At this critical moment, the uncle stepped forward and blocked Cao Yu.

"You guy, why are you so ignorant! Believe it or not! ”

Before the guard could finish his words, he was interrupted by the uncle's sneer.

"This official, it's not that I won't let you see it, it's that my younger brother's ears are not very good, and he is sick again. He didn't know what was going on on his face, he had a big sore on his face, he couldn't see the wind, and I didn't know if it was contagious, so I wouldn't let you see it. After a while, I will send this cotton over and exchange it for money, and I will take him to the nearby city to see the doctor. ”

The guard looked at the uncle suspiciously and asked, "What you said is true or false?" ”

"Official, if you don't believe it, you can see for yourself." The uncle lifted the corner of Cao Yu's clothes and motioned for the guards to look at it themselves.

The guard took a step forward and looked over, only to see Cao Yu's piece red, which looked like he was sick.

Cao Yu also quickly opened his mouth cooperatively, making a stumbling sound.

"You see how hard my brother is, he is already deaf and dumb, and now he doesn't know what disease he has, and our brothers depend on each other for their lives, and I don't know how long we can last." The uncle pretended to wipe his tears with his sleeves, and then bought a miserable thing in front of the guards.

"Take him away, hurry."

Fearing that he would be infected, the guard took two steps back and waved his hand in disgust for the two to leave quickly.
