Chapter 30: The Character of a Teenager
“…… Where are the people? ”
"At the east gate of our Chonghua Fang, he doesn't have a pass here, so he can't enter, so he can only be outside-eh, master!"
Zhang Jingzhen held the note and ran out of the bookstore in great strides.
A month earlier, he had received news from Pingjing that Bai Ling had finally fallen off a cliff and died.
The official mission went to look for it during the day, and only found a few well-known dry bones in the mountain stream - the torrential rain in Pingjing fell for a day and a night, and there were often lone wolves in the dense forest...... Therefore, most of Bai Ling's bones were dragged away by the beast.
At that time, Zhang Jingzhen couldn't say why, he seemed to be more relieved than sad.
Occasionally, in the middle of the night, he would dream of the past of his youth, and he would also think of the time when he and his old friends used to swim in the lake on a snowy night.
At that time, Bai Ling accidentally said a few words of the wine order, which he still remembers in his heart:
The sky is high and the earth is high, and the universe is infinite;
Happiness and sorrow come, and there are many things to know the surplus and the void;
It is difficult to cross the mountain, who is sad and lost?
When you meet in Pingshui, you are all guests from other places!
Zhang Jingzhen ran all the way from the gate of his house to the east gate of Chonghuafang, the east gate was crowded, and the people showed their pass orders in an orderly manner, and were allowed to enter from the outside one by one.
"Huh! Master Zhang! The official at the gate of the workshop recognized Zhang Jingzhen, "You're really here!" ”
Zhang Jingzhen was a little out of breath, he looked around, "Is there anyone waiting for me here?" ”
"Yes, I didn't believe him when he said he was your old acquaintance, and if it weren't for the little guy in your house passing by, I would have sent him away-"
"What about people?" Zhang Jingzhen asked.
"The man is gone," the official said, looking down and pulling out a thick envelope from his chest, "he said he was in a hurry and couldn't stay longer, so let me give you this letter." ”
Zhang Jingzhen thanked the official and took the envelope with both hands.
On the way back, he didn't have time to wait for home, so he directly opened the envelope and took out the letter, and then turned the last page without looking at it.
However, the place where the payment was made was not Bolin.
"Mu Yiqing ......"
Zhang Jingzhen smacked the name softly, he stood in place and thought about it for a long time, and he couldn't think of any clues about this name in his mind.
After a while, he turned back the pages again - the handwriting of this letter was also very unfamiliar, and Zhang Jingzhen was almost sure that he should not know the 'Mu Yiqing' who wrote the letter.
The little guy in the house also chased after him at this time, saying that Mrs. Fang Cai saw him running out in a hurry, thinking that something was wrong, and was very worried, so she sent him out to take a look.
Zhang Jingzhen sighed and put the letter away.
"Let's go back and talk about it."
……
In the inn, Mu Cheng had already gone downstairs to check out, and upstairs Li Yiru was making the final cleanup.
Bai Ling had already packed his baggage before he went out, and Li Yiru was checking the corners of the room to see that nothing was missing in the room.
After confirming that it was correct, he picked up Bai Ling's burden and walked out, when he suddenly heard a small sound, Li Yiru turned around, and saw a dark green purse falling out of Bai Ling's baggage.
Li Yiru picked it up and looked at it, the color of the purse looked a little dull, and there were several corners that had missed threads.
The purse is embroidered with flowers and plants, and there is a waning moon on top of it—there is a layer of black threads behind the waning moon, like the shadow of the moon.
Facing the purse, Li Yiru fell into deep thought.
How can the second brother carry this kind of daughter's things with him?
And this purse looks like it's been around for a while, but I'm afraid I've been carrying it with me all these years......
Yes.
Li Yiru suddenly understood.
Don't!
"Like!" Mu Cheng's voice came from downstairs, "Are you alright?" Songqing has returned, just waiting for you! ”
Li Yiru quickly stuffed the purse back into Bai Ling's baggage, and replied repeatedly, "Okay, okay! ”
The three of them went to the backyard of the inn, untied their horses, and went towards the north gate of Jiangzhou City.
There were obviously fewer people walking towards the north gate than going south, and a few people dismounted and were inspected almost when they arrived at the city gate, and they didn't even have to queue up.
Li Yiru walked in the front, followed by Bai Ling and Mu Cheng.
"The letter arrived?" Mu Cheng glanced back at Bai Ling.
"Delivered."
"Yes, how did you get into Chonghua Fang?"
"I didn't go in," Bai Ling said softly, "I handed the letter to the official who guarded the door, and then hid aside and watched Zhang Jingzhen take the letter before leaving." ”
"Didn't say a few words?"
"There's nothing to say," Bai Ling laughed, "and I don't know him." ”
Mu Cheng laughed and didn't break it.
Although he was sure that Bai Ling must have many secrets, after getting along with each other during this time, this kind of well-defined peer felt good.
Li Yiru in front of him suddenly stopped, and the official messenger blocked his way, and looked at Mu Cheng Bailing, who was leading the horse behind him.
"Just the three of you?" The official asked with a frown.
Bai Ling and Mu Cheng looked ahead at the same time and nodded yes.
"There was a new order yesterday in the yamen of Jiangzhou Mansion, and less than ten people are allowed to go north in a group!" The official pointed to a tea shop by the city gate, "There are all business travelers like you over there, you have gathered enough ten to get a pass!" ”
Li Yiru was just about to say something, but a strange traveler on the side suddenly pulled his sleeve, "Are you going to Zhuozhou?" ”
"Yes." The boy nodded.
"Then we can work together—"
Before the man could finish speaking, Mu Cheng had already pulled Li Yiru back behind him.
Mu Cheng looked at the official messenger, "May I ask the details of the new order, where can I see it?" ”
The official pointed to the city wall behind him—not far away there was indeed a half-human-high notice with black and white letters on it, and the crowd of onlookers below rushed to close it to read it.
"Let's go over there first." Mu Cheng said.
"Okay." Li Yiru and Bai Ling replied at the same time, the young man took two steps forward, and the traveler who had just accosted the other party showed an apologetic smile, "You can find someone else first!" ”
The traveler clasped his hands in front of him, smiled and nodded.
……
In the courtyard of Zhang's house, Zhang Jingzhen had read the letter from unknown origin several times.
The letter described in great detail everything that happened to the person concerned on the way to Huijiang - the local yamen of Huizhou Prefecture actually collaborated with the local dart bureau and squires to smuggle outsiders into the mine mines, and even children were not spared......
Such crimes are truly terrifying to read.
In recent years, the north has not been peaceful, how many homeless people have died on the roadside, and it is even more common for wives to be separated, perhaps because of this, the affairs of Huizhou Mansion have not been revealed.
If it continues like this, what kind of public resentment will be aroused in the end, Zhang Jingzhen does not dare to think about it.
"What's wrong with Jingzhen today, it's rare to see you so sullen."
Zhang Jingzhen looked up and saw his wife Liu carrying her daughter into the yard.
"I ......" Zhang Jingzhen was a little afraid to look into his wife's eyes, and he whispered, "I may have to go to the capital in person." ”
