Chapter 409: Murder

Su Ruan didn't know when she had fallen asleep, and she didn't wake up until someone knocked on the door the next day.

When he packed everything and went out, Qi Wenfu was already waiting outside.

Su Ruan still doesn't know how to pull her hair, but fortunately, the man's makeup and hair are simple, and she looks younger and younger because of her thin body, so she ties up half of her hair at will, ties it up with a hairband, and looks very energetic.

When Qi Wenfu saw her, he saw that her face had improved a lot, not like the pale and weak appearance when he was on the boat before, so he put his mind at ease and said to her: "Come and eat something, and after eating, we will have to leave." ”

Su Ruan sat beside him: "Is the carriage ready?" ”

Qi Wenfu nodded: "I'm already waiting outside." ”

There weren't many things they brought with them, and the only big ones were Su Ruan's medicinal herbs.

Su Ruan's body was not well maintained, and Mrs. Xie was afraid that her leg disease would recur in the dampness of the south, so she packed almost all her medicines, and according to the doctor's instructions, she couldn't cut them off for a day.

After boiling it once, you need a big bag, and it only takes a month and a half to fill a large box of Dengdeng.

Qi Wenfu was afraid that Su Ruan would not be comfortable, so he specially asked Jinbao and them to buy a larger carriage, which was also spacious on the road.

Su Ruan drank half a bowl of millet porridge with pickles, and ate a bun with fungus and green vegetables, and after eating and drinking, he followed Qi Wenfu out of the inn together, and the group was not in a hurry to leave, but went to buy some things and snacks and dry food for the road.

Su Ruan watched Jinbao come and go to move things to the carriage, and asked suspiciously: "Fourth brother, what are you asking them to buy so many things?" There are also many places to stop on the way south from here. ”

The weather is not hot at the moment, although it is not easy to spoil the food, but it is better to buy fresh ones on the road?

Hearing this, Qi Wenfu said: "There are a lot of places to rest, but I'm afraid we won't be able to rest next." ”

"What's wrong?" Su Ruan looked up.

Qi Wenfu said: "Jing Nan is dead again. ”

Su Ruan's eyes widened: "What's the matter?" ”

Qi Wenfu said: "Do you remember what I told you before, after the accident of the people over there in Jingnan, Jingnan Zhizhou couldn't stand the pressure, and gathered all the people who had entered Beijing to sue the emperor before, and looked for a house to settle down?" ”

Su Ruan nodded, of course she remembered.

Qi Wenfu said: "This was originally to protect those people, but after being provoked by people with intentions, it became a weakness of heart in the imperial court because of those who died in the accident before, and they wanted to cut down the grass and eradicate the remaining people." ”

"Those people are ordinary people, they don't understand anything, and after being provoked, they are flustered, and no one wants to live in the house arranged by the government, but the government refuses to let people go, for fear of responsibility, and as a result, there is a conflict between the two sides."

"When the two sides were fighting, the government first killed people by mistake, and after angering the group of people who entered Beijing, those people impulsively made a big fuss about the Jingnan Zhizhou Mansion, killed a general sentence on the side of the government office, and injured Jingnan Zhizhou, and then ran away overnight."

Qi Wenfu's face was gloomy when he talked about Jingnan's affairs, and his eyebrows were full of gloom.

And after Su Ruan listened to his words, his expression was even more stunned: "Ran away?" Where did you go? ”

"I don't know."

Qi Wenfu shook his head, "Right now, the Zhizhou Mansion is sending troops to arrest them, and those people don't know where to go." ”

"Jingnan Zhizhou sent an excerpt into Beijing to report this to the palace, but Mo Linglan's eldest brother sent someone to intercept it and send it to Xiao Mian, but we missed it when we got off the boat early, and Xiao Mian's people only sent it to me last night."

Su Ruan's eyes changed slightly, and it would take three or four days to get to Jingnan even if he took the waterway.

Mo Linglan sent the news out, and then sent it to Qi Wenfu through Xiao Mian's hand, and the time delayed in the middle added up, I'm afraid there will be five or six days.

In other words, it has been several days since the accident happened in Jingnan.

The relatives of those soldiers killed the court officials, injured the Jingnan Zhizhou, and fled.

Once this news is transmitted back to the capital, think about it and know what the consequences will be.

Emperor Xuan of Ming may not have much guilt for these people, nor may he have much mercy, and the previous reward was just forced by the situation, plus he wanted to save some face for the royal family.

These people occupy the relationship between the relatives of the martyrs, and the imperial court naturally treats them very preferentially.

But once they hurt people and resist arrest, they will become fugitives, plus those rumors outside that directly point to Emperor Xuan.

In the eyes of Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that these people will become ignorant of what to do and disregard the emperor's grace.

At that time, all the compensation they fought for in the capital, and what they did in the first place, will become a talisman for these people.

And Su Ruan, as the leader, will become the target of everyone.

Su Ruan's expression turned cold: "Those people are all old, weak, sick and disabled, women, children and children, not even a strong man, how did they kill the general sentence of the Zhizhou Mansion, and injured the Zhizhou in the government office, and escaped in front of so many government officials?" ”

Qi Wenfu naturally thought of this, and he personally found those people who entered Beijing one by one and took them to the capital.

He naturally knew the details of those people better than Su Ruan, and whether they would do such a thing.

Qi Wenfu said in a deep voice: "So I think there is probably something wrong with the Jingnan Mansion over there." ”

"Right now, Mo Linglan has exposed his identity and is dealing with Jingnan Zhizhou, although the government over there has sent troops to arrest them, they have not yet convicted those people."

"We have to rush to Jingnan as soon as possible and find out those people, otherwise once the government convicts them and murders the court officials, they will be punished, and none of those people will be able to escape."

Su Ruan pursed her lips, knowing how urgent the situation was, she didn't say more, and only followed Qi Wenfu to buy things.

After the two of them had prepared almost everything they were using on the road, they got into the carriage and left.

Jinbao sat at the front of the car to catch the car, while Hanshan led the other guards to follow on horseback.

The group walked towards the outside of the town, and when they reached the exit of the town, there was a sudden chase on the side of the road, and a gray-faced half-grown child rushed out of the side.

Jinbao was startled, and quickly pulled the reins and grabbed the horse's head.

Su Ruan was talking to Qi Wenfu in a low voice, and when the carriage suddenly heard it, she was unsteady and moved forward, but Qi Wenfu quickly pulled her back.

When hugging Su Ruan, Qi Wenfu's face turned grim: "What's wrong?" ”

"Someone suddenly ran over and almost hit it."

After Jinbao replied, he was about to shout at the man with a cold face, but who knew that the child was disgraced and rushed towards the carriage.

"What are you doing?!"

Jinbao was startled, and was caught by someone to the side of the carriage, and he pulled the child out of the back of the neck, trying to pull the person down.

Who knew that the boy would not let go, so he took his arm and kicked on the wheel like a monkey, and then slipped under his armpit and crouched behind Jinbao.

"You ......"

As soon as Jinbao was about to speak, several strong men rushed out of the street next to him, holding sticks in their hands and shouting to catch thieves.

The child's face changed, and he hid directly behind Jinbao, and slipped into the carriage with a short body.

When he entered, he saw two extremely good-looking people looking at him quietly

The boy was stunned for a moment, and the sound of harmony outside frightened him back to his senses.

After his black eyes rolled, he directly clasped his hands and said pitifully to the two of them: "Jianghu emergency, the two masters let me hide for a while......"
