Song Yiming listened to Su Jinyao's words, and if he didn't do it, he actually felt a little sorry in his heart.

Su Jinyao saw that Song Yiming might be a little unbearable, so she immediately made a whistle, asked Ah Ye to rush over, and bit Luo Erchuang's lower (shēn).

When Song Yiming saw it, he hurriedly shouted: "Miss Liu, keep ...... under your hands."

Halfway through the shout, Luo Erchuang let out a miserable scream, and the bloody arrows that rushed out of his crotch were farther than those on his arms. He's a man who's done it.

Ah Ye, on the other hand, jumped aside with a large piece of "ròu" with fur and skin in his mouth. With a flick of his head again, he threw the piece of stinky (ròu) into the grass.

It is estimated that in less than half a day, the insects and ants will eat that thing clean.

Although Luo Erchuang's limbs were paralyzed, the thing below was gone, but the pain was clear. After screaming, the whole person fell to the ground and fainted directly.

Only then did Su Jinyao take back her Divine Gu King and Silver Needle, and then pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his hand that was not actually stained with blood, and asked Song Yiming: "Uncle Song, what do you think these mountain bandits should do?" ”

"Since it's already like this, it's better to ......" Song Yiming looked a little embarrassed, but in the end he still turned his heart on the side and said, "It's better to report to the official." ”

"Okay, then report to the official. It can be regarded as a formal explanation to the injured civilians. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she beckoned her white horse to come over.

Then she said to Song Yiming: "Uncle Song, you are the deputy general in the barracks, and it is most appropriate for you to come forward for such a thing (qíng)." It's inconvenient for me to be a woman. It's less than two days away from Anji City, so I'll go back first. Once you've taken care of it, you can go straight to me. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao jumped on the white horse and ran away as soon as she urged the horse.

Actually, Su Jinyao wanted to give Song Yiming a chance to show favoritism. Now that Luo Er has broken an arm, he can't be a man anymore, and he is basically a wasted person.

If Song Yiming had been in the friendship (qíng) for many years, he wanted to let him go, but because of Su Jinyao's presence, it was not good to release him directly.

Therefore, Su Jinyao deliberately left first, no matter whether Song Yiming disposed of it impartially or released the water, she could be regarded as giving Song Yiming a step.

Song Yiming saw that Su Jinyao was gone, he (xìng) was straightforward but not stupid, and he understood what Su Jinyao meant.

There was a little gratitude in his heart, but he looked at the unconscious Luo Erchuang and gritted his teeth with hatred. Luo Erchuang did these things, any one of them was enough for him to lose his head.

Even if Song Yiming thought of the (qíng) points of the year, but thinking about the blood debt and heinous sins behind him, he finally sighed, and decided to deal with it impartially and leave none of them to the government.

Su Jinyao rode a horse for a long time, and saw that it was getting late, and it was impossible to rush back today no matter what, so she decided to find an inn to stay in first.

It is a small town called Shun Xiang. There is only one main street in the town, and it is not very busy. There are only two restaurants from one end of the street to the other, and there is only one inn, and it doesn't look big, only one front room, and a few huts in the back have a small patio, which is smaller than Su Jinyao's Jasmine Garden in Anji City.

Su Jinyao came to the only inn, because it was not yet the time for normal accommodation, so the inn seemed deserted.

Usually such a town is a temporary stop for passing guests, so few people stay early until it is dark and cannot hurry.

So as soon as Su Jinyao led the horse over, the guy greeted (rè) (qíng): "This girl, is she sharpening or staying in the hotel?" Or just rest and eat? ”

"Overnight. A single room should be neat and clean. Su Jinyao said, took out a small piece of silver and handed it over, and said, "If it's not an important guest, don't arrange it in my room, okay?" ”

Such a small inn does not have a few rooms, and there are not many guests. There is no need for Su Jinyao to wrap up the entire inn, it would be too eye-catching.

As long as you give the guy some favor and let him arrange the later guests to a room that is farther away from her room, it won't bother her. This is low-key, and it is happy to be able to buy this guy with silver.

Sure enough, the guy took the money and hurriedly said, "Girl, you came early, you can choose the guest room in this backyard." You can rest assured, I will consider the arrangements for the guests in the future, and I will not let some rough people quarrel with the girl. ”

"Thank you then." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she personally tied the horse to the small stable on the side of the inn and said, "My horse (xìng) Zilie, tell the horse boy not to touch it, and he doesn't need to feed it with grass or water." After a while I settle down and unsaddle myself and I'll feed you.

Temporary inspection by the government

Su Jinyao didn't let others feed the horses, first, because she was afraid that Moyun would have a strong temper and hurt people; Second, I am afraid that someone will have unclean hands and feet and feed the horse something that should not be eaten.

The man agreed, "Don't worry, girl, there are no horse boys in our little shop." I did the work of leading and feeding the horses by myself. If the girl says you don't need me to feed the horses, I have to thank her for your kindness. Please, inside please. ”

Su Jinyao followed the guy to the backyard, and standing in the patio, she could see through the left and right rooms.

The two rooms on the left are larger, but when you look through the open door, you can see that one of them has a tong shop inside, and the other has four chuáng shops inside. This is Oma, for civilians and porters who are in a hurry.

The two rooms in front are not big, and they are tidy. But Su Jinyao felt that it was too close to the big room, not to mention that it was directly facing the door of the store in front, and people coming and going walked to the backyard to face these two rooms, which was not clean enough.

In the end, only the two rooms on the right-hand side remained. Although these two rooms are not the same size, they are both single bunks, with complete tables and chairs, clean and tidy.

Su Jinyao pointed to the innermost one, a slightly smaller one, and said, "I'll live in this one." It's okay to be smaller, just be quiet. ”

The guy agreed again and again, let Su Jinyao go into the house to sit, and he went to prepare (rè) tea and (rè) water for Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao asked the guy to cook her a bowl of wontons and two side dishes. She took advantage of the fact that the meal was not yet good, and planned to feed the horses.

Mo Yun has been very close to Su Jinyao these days, and he is very obedient. As soon as Su Jinyao came, it also screamed twice, as if he missed it after only being separated for so long.

Su Jinyao untied the bridles of the saddle and went to fetch water and add forage. Then he took a pig-hair brush and brushed Moyun from top to bottom, front to back.

It wasn't until the dust on it (shēn) was swept away and the snow-white fur was shiny and smooth, that he stopped.

This passage is busy, and the time has passed for a long time. Su Jinyao looked up again, and when she saw that it was getting late, she remembered that the wontons that the guy had cooked hadn't been eaten yet, so it was better not to make a noodle soup.

Su Jinyao hurriedly cleaned her hands and went back, and saw that the guy happened to be walking towards this side with a bowl of wontons.

Su Jinyao was stunned, she didn't expect the time to be so coincidental. However, is this wonton a little longer packed? He asked, "Is this for me?" ”

"yes. Just out of the pot, the stuffing is big and the skin is smooth, girl, you can eat it while (rè). After saying that, the man put down the wonton and left.

But when he walked to the door, he remembered something and turned around, and said, "By the way, girl, I forgot to tell you that you went out to feed the horses at this time, and there were guests living in the next room." But don't worry, the girl is a very quiet son, and he won't quarrel with the girl. ”

There's a quiet boy living next door?

Su Jinyao's heart trembled inexplicably when she heard this, and Gu Xuebin's stubborn and sometimes unreliable appearance appeared in front of her.

Could it be that that guy didn't go back to the capital and ran after him all the way?

Su Jinyao felt that there was such a possibility. After all, what Gu Xuebin was thinking in her head, she couldn't always know everything.

Especially Gu Xuebin also made a surprise (ài), Su Jinyao was afraid that it was really him.

But after thinking about it again, I felt that this possibility (xìng) was really not very large. What's more, if it was Gu Xuebin, why didn't she see it when she was brushing the horse at the door just now?

It must have been someone she didn't know who came in the door, so she didn't pay special attention to it.

Although she thought so in her heart, Su Jinyao still couldn't help but want to see what kind of person her temporary neighbor was.

If not out of curiosity, at least it's for safety. You can't just live next door to her like a dog, she has no defenses.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao put down the chopsticks in her hand and walked to the door to look into the courtyard.

There is no one in the courtyard, and it is estimated that the inn will not be full today, and the other rooms are obviously without guests.

In other words, now there are only her and the "very quiet" son in this backyard?

Su Jinyao suppressed the curiosity in her heart and sat back to eat wontons, but her ears pricked up and listened to the movement next door. I thought that if the other party opened the door and came out, she would look out through the crack in the door, and she would see it.

But until Su Jinyao finished eating a bowl of wontons and two side dishes, the next door was still quiet, and there was not even a sound (pì). It's as if there's no one.

Su Jinyao held her breath and listened carefully, and subtle sounds could still be heard, such as a soft sound of "bang", which was the sound of the pages moving. This proves that the person next door is reading a book, no wonder it is so quiet.

Su Jinyao felt that this person was definitely not Gu Xuebin. Because Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin have known each other for so long, the number of times they have seen him read books is really limited.

It's not because Gu Xuebin doesn't read books, in fact, he reads a lot of books, and they are very miscellaneous. Otherwise, it would not be possible to have a higher level than Tuoba Gao in arranging troops; His attainments in studying Qimen Dunjia are not much worse than those of the second prince, all because he learned by reading books.

However, Gu Xuebin doesn't need to hold a book all day long, because his head is also very good, almost on par with Su Jinyao's shorthand skills.

Since it was confirmed that it was not Gu Xuebin, Su Jinyao was also relieved. As long as the other party doesn't provoke herself, Su Jinyao plans to leave at dawn tomorrow, so that she can reach Anji City after noon.

For more than an hour, the little backyard was silent. There were no other guests staying at the hotel, and the quiet boy was not seen going out.

Su Jinyao almost forgot that there was another person next door, and she was ready to rest after washing. Anyway, this kind of silence is exactly what she likes.

But just when Su Jinyao and Yi were just lying down, there was a quick knock at the front door outside. The knock was fast and urgent, and it sounded "all through".

Su Jinyao frowned, and heard someone shouting: "The government is inspecting, everyone quickly goes out and stands in the courtyard waiting for the investigation." ”

Then I saw several torches illuminate a large courtyard, and the light penetrated through the window paper, illuminating the house.

Su Jinyao lifted her shoes, suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and opened the door and walked out.

Then I saw three soldiers standing in the courtyard with torches, and another one who looked like a leader, carrying an official knife in his hand, was pacing in the courtyard.

The guy in the inn was also there, and when he saw Su Jinyao coming out, he hurriedly ran over, nodded and explained, "Girl, this is the government is inspecting." I heard that there was a big murder in a neighboring state, and dozens of bandits were caught. The official lord is afraid that some fish will hide in our Nanping Prefecture, so he is not going to check from house to house. ”

The son next door is He Juxin

When Su Jinyao heard what the guy said, she knew in her heart that it must have been Song Yiming who really reported to the official and arrested Luo Erchuang and his minions and brought them to justice.

But after all, it was dozens of mountain bandits and grass robbers who were arrested, and the government wanted to create a momentum, which seemed to be actively handling the case, and it could be regarded as putting gold on his face, and by the way, showing his merits.

Now that she knew that this was the case, Su Jinyao estimated that these people were just going through the motions, so they didn't take it to heart.

The head of the knife saw Su Jinyao coming out of the house, and it was still a young girl, looked up and down, then walked over and asked, "What is your name and where are you from?" Why doesn't a little woman go home and stay at a guest house here? ”

Su Jinyao said calmly: "My name is Su Jinyao, I am from Nanpingzhou, and my family lives in Anji City. Those who come out to visit relatives will leave tomorrow morning and arrive home in the evening. ”

Seeing that Su Jinyao was not in a hurry when she spoke, her thinking was clear and her conversation was good, and she asked, "The horse outside the inn is yours?" ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Well, it's okay, let's step aside." The head waved his hand, signaling that Su Jinyao could retreat.

In fact, as long as a discerning person looks at it, he can feel the momentum on Su Jinyao (shēn). In addition, the white horse outside the door is so eye-catching, it must not be an ordinary horse pulling a cart to work.

A young girl who can ride a horse and ride a good horse proves that this book (shēn) is extraordinary. So this head is not a fool, so naturally he will not look for Su Jinyao's bad luck.

After the head finished talking to Su Jinyao, he glanced at the room next to Su Jinyao. He frowned at the closed door. He beckoned the man over and asked, "Who is this man in this room?" Why hasn't it come out yet? ”

Su Jinyao also happened to be curious, what kind of person lives next to her, why is she so calm and calm, and she hasn't come out at this time?

The guy hurriedly said, "Lord Hui, it's a young son." Looks...... 也 (tǐng) is not ordinary. Don't worry, my lord, I'm going to call your door now. ”

After speaking, the guy stepped forward, knocked on the door a few times, and shouted: "Childe? Childe, please come out, the government has come to the inspection. ”

However, there was a knock and a shout, but the door was still closed, and no one inside answered.

This time, even Su Jinyao frowned, feeling that this "neighbor" was going to be unlucky.

The head really couldn't hold his breath, or rather, he was going to put on a show. So he strode forward, pulled the guy away, slammed the door vigorously, and said, "Listen, the people inside, it's the official inspection." If you don't come out to be questioned, you will be placed as a thief. ”

But even so, there was still no movement inside. The head rope (xìng) raised his foot and kicked the door open.

However, there was no one in the house. The shops are still neat, and apparently no one has slept with them.

"Come here, what's going on? What about people? The head of the government was so angry that smoke rose above his head, and he pulled the guy and said, "You tell me clearly, are there people or ghosts living in this house?" Where did this man go? Or are you deliberately harboring bandits? ”

"Ah, my lord, I am wronged. How dare the villain harbor bandits? I clearly saw this boy go into the house and never came out again. The guy was also puzzled, and although he was being pulled, he still looked into the house.

But the house is an empty room, and no matter how you look at it, you can't conjure up a big living person out of thin air.

The guy looked at it several times, and begged for mercy helplessly: "My lord, the villain really doesn't know where this guest officer has gone." Maybe...... Maybe it's going to the latrine? ”

"Nonsense, such a big movement, it's time to come out and take a look." The head of the officers and soldiers pushed the man and said, "Where are you shopkeepers?" I'm going to look at the roster of records to see what kind of guests are in this room. ”

The government has a rule that all guests staying at the inn must be recorded. Su Jinyao also left a record after she came.

When the guy heard this, he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, there is a roster." But the shopkeeper doesn't stay here at night, so I'll have to go find him. ”

As he was talking, he saw a middle-aged man running over from the front yard, his clothes had not yet been buttoned, and he hurriedly shouted: "Excuse me, adult, the villain is the shopkeeper of this inn." ”

"Don't be wordy, bring the roster. Look at who lives in this room. After the officer and soldier finished yelling, he asked the man again, and said, "Now tell me the appearance and characteristics of the people in this house, and you must say it very carefully." Also, what he said, what he did, and what kind of luggage he carried, he made it clear. ”

The man nodded again and again, thought for a while, and said, "The guest in this room is a very young man, about twenty-five or six years old, and he looks really handsome and beautiful. I've been running errands at this inn for years, and it's the first time I've seen such a good-looking son. ”

"Don't say something useless, what does a man want to look good." The officer and soldier pushed the guy again, and said, "What did he do?" Is there anything suspicious? ”
