Chapter Twenty-Nine: Civil Hardship and Official Struggle
"Official? The little one wants to ask, why only strictly check the dart cart from Ziludao? ”
Lin Yuandao is a strong man in his early forties, he is in the most golden age of their industry, he has knowledge and means, and he has handled things properly and appropriately for more than a month, and along the way, almost no one has not praised it, but at this time, Lin Yuandao bowed his back slightly, and tried his best to lower his posture: "I don't know, which adult's edict?" ”
As a result, this time, not even the silver was given.
"Go, go, go! Ask less and tell everyone in the car behind to get down! There is an order from above, you and other small people, how can there be so much nonsense! He was very powerful, and when he talked about it, he didn't say which one it was.
Lin Yuandao lowered his head, and had to order his subordinates to go down and invite the guests to get out of the carriage.
The officers and men are unreasonable, but they cannot afford to offend the guests without regard to their business operations.
Fortunately, this time, only people were strictly searched, and the goods escorted were only routinely inspected. Qingyang County through the south to the north, this trip escort, all the spices from Quanzhou, he does not understand the spices, but the customer told to do a good job of moisture-proof, can not be opened, once it is opened, but it will be discharged, which will affect the delivery.
Shen Qiutan shrank behind Zou Wei and followed everyone out of the carriage, but the official missed her.
On this trip, in addition to the Lin family's own thirty or so dart masters, a total of twelve people were carried, sitting in two carriages.
Now more than a dozen people are standing together next to each other, and few of them can stand up straight, which people are not afraid of officials?
Therefore, Shen Qiutan's timid appearance should not be prominent, so where are the traces?
She tried hard to retract her hands into her sleeves, and her hands were clenched into fists, and now she looked like a black-and-yellow-faced boy, but the ash on the back of her hand, rubbed a few times through the sleeves, was already a little shallow......
The people who were interrogated were all wearing armor and looking fierce, a total of about 20 people, not like regular officers and soldiers, but like ruffians, and they didn't know what official position it was, let alone whose orders they were executing.
The leader holds two portraits and compares them with the people who get off the bus.
One is a middle-aged woman and the other is a girl.
Shen Qiutan's pupils shrank suddenly.
That girl, how can she be a little like herself! Look at the portrait of the middle-aged woman again, could it be the nurse of the younger brother? Xiao Yang couldn't even determine the appearance of Shen Yanfeng's daughter, how did this group of officers and soldiers know?
Therefore, in Jibei's family, there should have been a traitor a long time ago, and he is still a very close person.
Could it be that Wang Chunshan?
And who wants to intercept himself halfway? Could it be that Daddy was condemned? But if Daddy was convicted, why did these people cover up the reason for the search? Therefore, Daddy may not only not be convicted, but also meritorious. So much so that these people only dared to search arbitrarily, but they could not come up with a reason for the search.
Oh, I don't know whose territory this Liyang City is......
If these people want to find themselves and their brother, will their purpose be for that thing?
"You, look up!"
Shen Qiutan raised his head a little frightened, revealing a dark and thin face, the officer and soldier looked at it carefully, and pulled Shen Qiutan's collar again, and saw that the skin on his neck was the same as his complexion.
Zou Wei followed Shen Qiutan to breathe a sigh of relief, and his heart had already turned back and forth a few times.
She had seen Shen Qiutan who had no disguise, she lied to herself, but along the way, Shen Tan didn't look like a bad person, how could she become a prisoner of the imperial court in a blink of an eye?
Shen Qiutan touched her eyes, and her heart was a little weak, but now was not the time to speak, so she had to suppress her emotions and silently return to Zou Wei's back.
"Take it back!"
Shen Qiutan and Zou Wei were still shocked, and suddenly saw that the officers and soldiers arrested the eleven or twelve-year-old girl in the same car.
"You let go of me, you let go of me! Daddy, Daddy save me! ”
The girl opened her throat and cried, her father grabbed his daughter and didn't want to let go: "Official, we are going to the capital to join our relatives!" What happened to my daughter? ”
"You don't have to know what's going on." A knife lay between him and the girl, and the officer and soldier sneered: "You just need to know that it is better to kill by mistake than to let go." If you really want to blame, blame your daughter for looking too much like the person in this painting. ”
Where it is like, everyone is a little angry, if you really want to say that it is like, it may be age and gender.
This group of officers and soldiers is really ......
Girls of this age grabbed a handful, and this group of ruffians in military uniforms was clearly deliberate! No wonder he paid special attention to Shen Qiutan just now, I am afraid that he wanted to catch a child of this age.
The people in the carriage followed the Lin family's convoy all the way, and they all had some face, and when they saw the girl being arrested, they were a little angry in their hearts, but they were angry in their hearts, who dared to say a word?
After all, since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials.
Or the girl's father, took out a silver ticket from his arms, and pleaded: "Official, it's good, be accommodating, Yan'er has never left me since she was born, she is definitely not the person on this portrait, official?" He didn't dare to ask again what had happened to the man in the portrait.
Do you still need a reason for the official to arrest someone?
The silver ticket was a denomination of one hundred taels, and the eyes of the officers and soldiers who took the lead in the investigation flashed.
Seeing this, the girl's father was ruthless, and took out a silver ticket of fifty taels and a few pieces of broken silver: "Official, this is Xiaomin's entire net worth, please drink from the official." ”
The officer and soldier took the silver ticket and the broken silver, and said casually: "Looking at it this way, it really doesn't look like it." ”
After speaking, he threw away the girl in his hand and walked away with someone.
Zou Wei's eyes were indignant, and he couldn't wait to go up and bite the officer and soldier, this was clearly asking for money!
"Daddy......" The girl threw herself into her father's arms, raised her panicked face, and suddenly asked, "Dad, why didn't you tell them that we went to Beijing to find Master Gao?" ”
"Hey, you girl! Don't talk nonsense! The man looked polite, and did not look like a man who worked in the field, and certainly he could not get a hundred and fifty taels of silver for ordinary work.
"Why can't you say that no matter how powerful they are, can they still capture the family members of the tall people?"
"Shut up! The more I talk about it, the more unpleasant it becomes, and I haven't ...... it yet. actually regarded himself as a member of the Gao family. ”
The man and Lin Yuandao nodded, and pulled their daughter back to the carriage with some embarrassment, and the other people looked at each other and followed into the carriage.
Shen Qiutan looked happy for the rest of her life, but Zou Wei had a cold face towards her, obviously angry that she didn't tell the truth. Shen Qiutan couldn't help but sneer, wanting to explain something, but the Yan'er on the other side suddenly made a fuss again.
In fact, Shen Qiutan doesn't hate children, but this Yan'er has done everything along the way, for a while she thinks that the food is not delicious, for a while she thinks that the carriage is too bumpy, and for a while she thinks that there are too many people in the same car.
"Dad, I don't want to ride in a carriage with them again!"
"Don't make a fuss, the silver tickets have been given, it's good to have this car to sit in."
"It's all your fault, you said that you don't look at it when you sit in this kind of car, who knows that in this kind of car, those officers and soldiers don't treat us as human beings at all, if it weren't for you, how could my daughter-in-law of a dignified family suffer such humiliation in the blue sky and daylight! Now that I've been searched, how can I get married? That's the Chinese book Ling Gao, ah......"
"You're enough!" The middle-aged man raised his hand, and the slap was about to fall, but when he saw his daughter's undodging eyes, he retracted it dejectedly: "What a sin!" How did I give birth to you, this wicked obstacle! Alas......"
And the others were already stunned.
This girl who looks like she is only eleven or twelve years old, is she actually the daughter-in-law of the Chinese book Ling Gao?
Zhongshu Ling Gao Yun came from the Bohai Gao family, with a profound heritage, and did not fall after three dynasties, and Gao Yun himself, not only the official to the Zhongshu Order, but also his eldest daughter, but also the crown princess. Although the crown prince Li Jue has passed away, the crown princess gave birth to an heir, and she was favored by the emperor, and her status is still not low. And Gao Yun's other concubine, I heard that she has been married to the prince of Dingguo.
No matter which one it is, it is a powerful family that ordinary people can't reach.
Zou Wei and Shen Qiutan only knew that Zhongshuling was a very big official, but they didn't know the intricate relationships and forces behind him, but Lin Yuandao traveled south and north, and he wouldn't know it.
When everyone entered Liyang City and repaired for a day, they looked at the front of the convoy, and there was already a luxurious and comfortable carriage, and they didn't know that Yanzi's father and daughter were not satisfied.
