Chapter 15: Is This a Joke?
And there is a family under the jujube tree, and the gate is locked.
The door was covered in dust, making it all look a little dilapidated.
However, at this time, Zhu Ming and White Peony cannot be picky.
The furnishings in the room are still there, the bedding and the beds are all available, but they are also very dirty.
And from time to time, rats are infested, and all kinds of spiders and small insects are everywhere, crawling around.
The frightened white peony screamed and jumped outside the house.
Zhu Ming also felt that he had nowhere to put his feet.
Luckily, there are a few stone benches in the yard.
Zhu Ming found something to clean up and wipe it a little.
This gave the two of them a little place to rest.
However, after sitting down, Zhu Ming and Bai Peony were a little embarrassed.
Although from this morning to now, the two have basically been together, and they have experienced a lot of things together.
But in fact, the two did not say a few words.
Even the white peony didn't even know Zhu Ming's name.
And Bai Peony didn't say his name clearly, Zhu Ming still knew it from the system.
"Childe...
As soon as Bai Peony spoke, she was interrupted by Zhu Ming.
"Peony girl doesn't need to be so polite, just call me Zhu Ming."
This is the first time Zhu Ming has introduced himself.
However, it is a little different in the ears of the white peony.
Zhu Ming, Zhu Ming.
Dare to name it after this, whether in the past or today, it is extremely bold.
If it is discovered by the imperial court, it will definitely be impossible to escape death.
The average person who would come up with such a name.
Could it be that Zhu Ming is related to the royal family of the previous dynasty.
However, in this era, the people of the royal family of the previous dynasty are not a glorious identity.
Once caught, it will definitely be five horses divided into corpses, broken into thousands of pieces, and the people around them will also be affected.
White Peony felt that the name must be a fake name, at least not the original name.
But Zhu Ming dared to use this name, and he must also be an important figure in the anti-Qing Dynasty.
The white peony didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't want to think about it.
But Zhu Ming dared to tell himself, which showed that Zhu Ming believed in himself very much.
Needless to say, some things are very clear, but misunderstandings arise in this way.
The white peony was quite moved at this time.
However, Bai Peony still did not directly call Zhu Ming's name, and in ancient times, it was very impolite to call him by his name.
"Peony, thank you for saving your life."
Before Zhu Ming coerced the white peony, it can be said that the white peony temporarily got rid of the suspicion.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-saving grace.
"Why should the peony girl be polite, it's also me who has tired the girl."
White Peony shook her head.
"Why should the son excuse me, I am also a person who cannot be a thief, so why talk about it."
Bai Peony's words surprised Zhu Ming.
Bai Peony was also a little confused, and it seemed that he really didn't know Zhu Ming's reaction.
Didn't the other party come premeditated? Not to coerce yourself?
But how could the other party call his name as soon as they met, and even knew his original surname.
White Peony's heart was full of doubts at this time.
"Childe doesn't know who I am?"
Zhu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Miss Peony and I are just meeting for the first time."
Speaking of which, Bai Peony has fully understood, and it seems that he really misunderstood Zhu Ming.
The last bit of white peony to Zhu Ming at this time also disappeared.
White Peony even forgot to ask Zhu Ming why he could call her name as soon as they met.
When a woman believes in a person, it really believes unconditionally.
Even the most obvious loopholes can be ignored.
"My grandfather rebelled against the shaving order, and in the end the whole family was killed by the thieves, and I escaped because I was asleep and was stuffed in a pile of firewood and grass by my mother."
The white peony completely opened its heart at this time.
These words have always been pressed in her heart, and she has never mentioned them to anyone since she knew her background.
And be careful, lest people know about it and bring death to yourself.
Some things are pressed in the heart for a long time, and they will become heart diseases.
Zhu Ming didn't speak, just listened quietly.
He also knew that at this time, what Bai Peony needed was not to ask, but to listen.
White Peony briefly talked about his life experience.
When people open their hearts, it is easy to confide in the secrets buried in their hearts.
What should be said and what should not be said has been said.
And this kind of confiding is easy to get closer.
But for Zhu Ming, there is actually nothing to say about his own affairs.
And even if he says it, White Peony won't believe it.
"I'm not actually from this world."
Zhu Ming sighed and said such an ambiguous sentence.
In modern times, everyone understands this.
But in the ears of the white peony, it has a different meaning.
The country was ruined, his life was miserable, and for the sake of national hatred and family hatred, he broke off with his past self, and even changed his original name.
is not a person of this world, in order to draw a line with the thief.
At this moment, the white peony brain made up a lot.
It also made the white peony extremely moved.
Pathetic characters are naturally sympathetic.
At this moment, Zhu Ming suddenly became extremely majestic in the heart of the white peony.
As the night wore on, the sky gradually cooled down.
Zhu Ming suddenly stood up, took off his monk's robe, and draped it on his back for the white peony in the stunned eyes.
Bai Peony's face turned red all of a sudden, and she only felt her heart pounding.
It's an experience like never before.
It's intoxicating, it's terrifying.
Zhu Ming didn't have this kind of awareness, and was still casually talking about some interesting things.
Although Bai Peony couldn't understand it at all, he still listened to it very intriguingly.
Before you know it, it's morning.
When the horizon is faintly white.
Zhu Ming suddenly said, "Peony girl, it's time to go back." ”
Bai Peony was stunned for a moment, looked at the sky, and instantly understood what Zhu Ming meant.
The gates of the city were closed last night, and she could justify not going back, and there were those officials who testified. But if you don't go back at dawn, how can you explain it?
"Take care, Childe."
It was probably the most relaxing night for White Peony in terms of memory.
Before I knew it, I said a lot.
Don't hesitate at all.
The grievances, troubles, unhappiness, and grievances that were buried in my heart before were all spoken.
I feel a lot more relaxed.
Bai Peony got up to say goodbye, but the village was still silent, and there was no figure in sight.
In order to prevent people from detecting the abnormality, the white peony locked the door directly from the outside.
At this time, in Yangzhou County, Liu County ordered a group of officials to scold a bloody meeting.
Last night's incident, several officials were selfish, and because it was just two whistleblowers, there was no clue at all.
If you report it when the time comes, but there is no progress, isn't that unpleasant for yourself?
In addition, Weijiazhuang suddenly caught fire in the back.
This made these officials feel that the matter must be gone.
But after all, it involves anti-thieves, so why do you have to go through the motions.
Otherwise, if it is traced later, it will not be impossible to eat and walk around.
The remaining dozens of officials actually didn't know the inside story at all, but they were brought over by the cause of the fire in Weijiazhuang.
As a result, Zhu Ming was caught, but he was intercepted halfway.
Not only were the prisoners lost, but four officials were killed and one was seriously wounded.
Wang Bantou began to have a high fever in the middle of the night last night and is still unconscious.
It's hard to say whether they will survive it.
It is naturally impossible not to report such a big thing, and after Liu Xianling heard about it, his first reaction was that these officials were joking.
But did a group of officials dare to make such a joke with themselves, the legitimate county magistrate?
Liu Xianling felt that he was unusually desperate.
These servants are really bold.
But whoever made himself the chief officer, these subordinates caused trouble, and they had to clean up the aftermath themselves.
Even if I go to tell the prefect now that I don't know, the prefect won't believe it.
Hey, a bunch of bastards, they're going to kill themselves.
In other places, the prefectural magistrate is also considered a parent official.
But in this Yangzhou City, there is not only a government office, but also a Taoist yamen.
Liu Xianling is a little daughter-in-law, who not only has a mother-in-law, but also a mother-in-law.
The county is purely an ornament, and its role is to carry the black pot, which is completely a gas bag.
