Bai Ling and Li Yiru stood up, "Brother Mu is back!" ”

"How's it going out there?" "Are there many people chasing us today?" ”

"Not much." Mu Cheng replied.

"Not much?"

"It's not much, it's nothing." Mu Cheng looked at Bai Ling, "I went to the inn first, I thought that the store would be closed for inspection, but it didn't." ”

Bai Ling and Li Yiru both frowned.

"Yes, it's business as usual." Mu Cheng said softly, "There is no one around to talk about what happened last night. I also went out of my way to the west and north gates—there were no notices, not even wanted portraits. ”

“……？” Bai Ling frowned slightly.

"It's evil," Mu Cheng's expression was serious, "as if nothing happened last night." ”

As he spoke, Mu Cheng threw the meat bun in his hand to Bai Ling and Li Yiru.

Neither of them reacted, but their hands had already caught it instinctively.

After being hungry for a night, both of them devoured their food.

"Brother Mu, have you heard the news about that fat servant?" Bai Ling asked inarticulately.

Mu Cheng shook his head, "I don't know, he is an official after all, and Huizhou Mansion is so big, I have no place to ask." ”

"I do feel a little strange," Bai Ling feasted and glanced up at Mu Cheng, "We've been sitting here all morning, and there are people coming and going, and I haven't seen the scar man last night." ”

Bai Ling glanced at Li Yiru on the side, "Did you hear his voice?" ”

Li Yiru didn't care about speaking, but he still shook his head firmly.

"There was no pursuit...... That somewhat shows that last night's events were temporarily suppressed. Bai Ling said softly, "Why have they been tied up to the West City Gate and can't afford to make a splash—"

Bai Ling choked suddenly.

Mu Cheng threw the water bladder around his waist.

"What's wrong?" Mu Cheng frowned, "What did you think of?" ”

Bai Ling took a sip of water with difficulty, and was relieved.

"The anonymous complaint...... Did Brother Mu vote? Bai Ling asked, looking up.

"Voted." Mu Cheng looked at her strangely, "Didn't you ask me to vote, 'prepare with both hands'." ”

Bai Ling's expression sank a little.

She looked at the ground in front of her uncertainly, and said softly, "Maybe...... I'm scared. ”

……

Sure enough, the situation took a turn for the worse after noon, and the government suddenly began a city-wide search.

The three of them stood in front of the city gate, looking at their heads and names on the wanted portraits, with mixed feelings.

They had just arrived in Huizhou, and there were not many people who could recognize them here, and this portrait was basically drawn under the description of the owner of the inn in the east of the city, as well as a few quasi-co-soldiers who still had an impression of them.

The three of them pretended not to know each other and sneaked into the crowd to watch the excitement, and then each pulled away and retreated to the corner.

If you want to go out of the city, these officers and soldiers will definitely not recognize them based on the portraits alone.

But they are all foreign accents, and now they are out of the city, but those who can't speak the Huizhou dialect must all check the road guide - if the road guide is pulled, it will really be exposed.

The three of them walked back and forth into an inaccessible alley to converge.

Mu Cheng looked a little irritable.

Bai Ling was also silent.

Li Yiru looked left and right, "What are you going to do now?" Back to the dart game? ”

"I should have thought of it last night," Mu Cheng said in a low voice, "so much grain appeared in the temporary warehouse of a dart bureau, and there must be a demon when something goes wrong." If there is no instruction from the people above, how dare the people below be so bold? ”

"They probably thought that we would run away, and let go of the knife when we raised the edge of the knife by an inch," Mu Cheng's brows tightened, "Now we run to report the dart bureau for stealing military rations, and the government will arrest us instead." ”

"I did think of it last night...... "But it doesn't make sense." ”

"Where is it unreasonable?"

"I'm not stupid enough to believe that the fat servant is the final mastermind...... But it is impossible for the yamen of the state capital to be in the same league with them," Bai Ling argued, "I said last night, the grain is indeed going to be sent to Jiangzhou, but the Jiangzhou government is not the terminal of this batch of military rations, and they will eventually be transferred to the north."

"Every time the capital allocates how much grain goes north, it is clearly written in the documents. Every time I pass through a checkpoint in the state capital, the amount of surplus grain must be counted and reported, and if there is a huge amount of deduction here, the court's accountability will definitely not escape, so I will bet——"

"But you're wrong." Mu Cheng interrupted, "The officialdom in Huizhou is no different from other places! What if the court is held accountable...... Plug the mouth of the yoyo underneath, and when the time comes, they will be fooled over! ”

"It may be true of other things, but in war, no one wants to fool the court." Bai Ling said softly.

Mu Cheng only thought it was funny, the young man in front of him didn't seem to be in the age of a weak crown, and when he talked about these temples, he said it like this.

"How do you know?" Mu Cheng's eyes were cold, "Have you seen the emperor or the first minister?" Do you know what kind of people the people in Heikyo are in power? ”

Bai Ling took a deep breath.

"Let's calm down, Brother Mu."

Li Yiru's expression was a little embarrassed, "Yes, let's not quarrel with ourselves first, if we didn't work together last night, it would be impossible to escape from that place." ”

Mu Cheng didn't speak, turned around and pounded the wall hard.

Li Yiru sighed, "Brother Mu, don't be sad, there is no such thing as a sure thing in the world, since we want to gamble, we may make a mistake." ”

"The point is that there is no way now," Bai Ling said softly, "I also told Yiru this morning, if the wind is tight outside, we can find a way to blend into the convoy transporting grain." According to their current loading speed, they will not be able to leave until tonight at the earliest, although there are many guards in the dart board, but after all, they are not as strict as the official family...... It's still possible. ”

Hearing the words "tonight", Mu Cheng's eyes lit up slightly.

"Let's go, then." He walked in front, "While they are still busy loading the truck, let's go explore the way." ”

"Hmm!" Li Yiru saw that Mu Cheng had returned to his previous expression, and breathed a sigh of relief slightly, "Let's go!" ”

After taking two steps forward, Mu Cheng suddenly stopped, he didn't look back, but said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I was in too much of a hurry just now." ”

Bai Ling knew that she was probably saying this to herself, and she hugged her hands, "It's okay." ”

On the way back to Yongping Dart Bureau, Bai Ling looked at Mu Cheng's back and had questions in his heart.

It's August, and Mu Cheng said that he would rush to Zhuozhou to take office before the end of the year - this time is plenty of time in any way.

Now it was just an extra day or two, and he became anxious.

On the contrary, he didn't care much about the possibility of being "wanted" by the government from beginning to end - this is very similar to himself.
