Chapter 950: Search
Having said that, the two couldn't tell the truth, but said: "Previously, Hall Master Qiao arranged for my brother to go out on errands. Who thought that as soon as he returned to the city, he caught up with the accident. ”
The burly man, who was about thirty years old, smiled and said, "My name is Shi Fang." Pointing to the thin man who wrote next to him, "He is Lu Xiong." ”
"It turned out to be Shi Zhuangshi and Lu Zhuangshi, you are all friends of the owner, and that is our friend of the entire Sitong number." The shopkeeper of Yinda bowed his hand and sighed worriedly: "I heard that the palace is arresting fugitives. There's a lot of trouble in this city, hey! ”
Both of them sighed on their faces, but their hearts jumped. They were afraid that the treasurer of Yinda would say that he could not take in the fugitives, so he would throw them out.
It is polite to throw it out directly, but what is even more terrifying is that it is sent directly to the palace. They all defected from the Blue Sky League, and now they are still walking outside to beg for benefits under the reputation of the Blue Sky League, if the princess is caught, they will probably die ugly.
The shopkeeper of Yinda has been in business for many years, where can he not see the anxiety of these two people? After a little thought, he understood the trick, he only did not notice it, and said with a straight look: "Since the situation is critical, it is not convenient for Xu Hua at this time, we have a secret hiding place here, and the idlers will not find out, the two of you will go with me first and settle down temporarily, our host said, as long as the brothers of the Qingtian Alliance come, they must be treated as their own family members, so the two of you must not be polite to me, just live here with peace of mind." ”
"Okay, thank you."
The two glanced at each other and followed the footsteps of the shopkeeper of Yinda.
They really can't do anything now. The only thing that can be counted on is that Boss Qiu can keep his promise. Otherwise, they are now exhausted of mountains and rivers, ammunition and food, and I am afraid that there is only one way to die.
The shopkeeper of Yin University took the two to the back house, and came to a moon gate along the verandah, and led the two into the moon gate, which was a delicate garden, which looked like a flat river, with no lakes or rocks, and even the trees were very weak, and they didn't look like people who could hide.
The two of them were apprehensive, staring at the back of the shopkeeper of Yin Da defensively, and did not dare to step forward again.
The shopkeeper noticed that the two of them had slowed down, but he didn't care, and walked straight to a small bush on the small stone and brick path, squatted down and groped on the ground for a moment, as if he had touched something.
As he fiddled, he faintly heard the clicking sound of some kind of mechanical turning, and a water tank in the corner of the backyard wall slowly moved open, revealing an entrance that could accommodate one person underneath.
"Come with me." The shopkeeper walked to the entrance of the cave.
The two of them couldn't help but be surprised, if the four links of the secret passage really had a hand, who would have thought that they would build such a secret place in a small garden that seemed to be used for an aisle in the inner house?
The hanging heart was put down, and the two walked to the entrance of the cave, and looked down tentatively, and there was a faint glimmer of light inside.
The shopkeeper of Yinda said with a smile: "This is specially prepared by our host, the ventilation is very good, and there is enough food and water stored in it for ten days, but it will be very boring to stay inside." And if you want to come out, I can only open the mechanism, otherwise you can see the water tank, and it won't move from the bottom. ”
Shi Fang and Lu Xiong looked at each other again.
Compared to the situation where they were hunted down and killed outside, the conditions here were already good. Besides, they can't find any other way than to believe in Boss Qiu now.
Shi Fang said: "Okay, knowing the big treasurer, don't forget that our brothers are still below." ”
"No, no. Where will we forget the brothers whom our host has specially instructed to take care of? If there is no accident, I will come to you every evening to bring you enough food and wine for a day, and there will be no shortage of chicken, duck and fish. There are bedding and the like, and it only works when it's cold. ”
When the two of them heard that they didn't have to eat dry cakes, they were even more happy. Nodding his head into the tunnel like pounding garlic.
After the two of them went down, they looked around first, and found that it was really as the treasurer of Yin said, there were two oil lamps that were always on, and a wooden bed that could accommodate four people sleeping side by side was indeed covered with bedding. Although the space is crowded, the environment is much better than expected.
"We're staying, thank you for the big shopkeeper!"
The two of them tilted their heads and thanked them.
The shopkeeper shook his head with a smile, "You're welcome, you two are friends of our host, by the way, there is another point that you two must be careful, and you must speak quietly." ”
The two of them looked awkward, and nodded solemnly: "Yes, we know." ”
The shopkeeper of the big seal arched his hand at the two.
The two of them also looked up at the shopkeeper of Yinda and arched their hands, their eyes full of gratitude.
With a slight mechanical noise, the tank filled with water slowly moved back into place, gradually covering the hole.
When the footsteps were far away, the brothers let out a long breath and sat down on the bed to relax.
saved......
After the shopkeeper of Yinda left, he didn't dare to let people tell Qin Yining, thinking that since the princess had ordered someone to tell her, she must have expected this to happen, and after thinking about it, she felt more and more that the princess was really like a god, and the female Zhuge was alive.
Qin Yining asked Jiyun to pass the word, so she was relieved to "ground" at home, and the selected materials were delivered one after another, so she first made shoes and seats for Xiao Xiao, and fantasized about how much Brother Zhao and Brother Han should have grown taller now, and also cut clothes for them.
A few days have passed like this, and her life is still leisurely and quiet, but the search in the city has reached a white heat.
Xiao Xiao's men were able to determine that they had found four people, but they had only killed two, and the remaining two could not be found anyway. He simply did not let the Jinghu Guard and the palace guards collect their troops, so they continued to search in and around the city.
"Lord Wang, if you continue to search like this, I'm afraid that there will be some opinions in the yamen." Xie Yue suggested, "Do you want to reduce some people a little and change it to security?" ”
Originally, Xiao Xiao thought that such a search would make the people nervous. However, as soon as Xie Yue said that there would be opinions in the yamen, his idea of reducing his voice was immediately dispelled.
Who is in charge of the yamen? Zhixian, of course. Lu Heng is now the county magistrate, which makes him unhappy, this is the most comfortable thing for the owl.
"It's okay, Lu Heng doesn't dare to do anything about this king."
After Mu Jinghu came back, he stayed by Xiao Xiao's side every step of the way, and said with a smile when he heard the words, "Yes, I am with you." ”
When Xie Yue saw that the two of them looked like they were in their chests, he knew that Xiao Xiao had already made up his mind, and he smiled and stopped persuading. Anyway, the contradiction between the prince and the head of the Lu family is becoming more and more irreconcilable, and it is not good to be timid, so it is better to act freely according to the prince's will.
