Zhuang Rou devoured the bread and asked vaguely, "Isn't the city gate closed?" ”

The two men didn't expect her to remember this at this time, and after being stunned for a moment, they said, "The workshop is not in the city, it is on the north gate." Usually it is convenient to go directly from the city, but if you walk around the outside of the city, it is a little far, and just now I was thinking about walking from the city, forgetting that the city gate is closed. ”

"But it's okay to walk from outside the city, the accommodation in the workshop is much better than here, with a quilt and a brazier to keep warm."

Zhuang Rou finished the cake in two by three, licked the crumbs on his hand and nodded vigorously and said, "Okay!" I'll go with you now. ”

"You have eaten all the bread, then give you two more to take home, and talk to your family to reassure them." Seeing that she had eaten all three loaves of bread and left nothing for her family, one of the men took out two more, and seemed to be very kind.

Zhuang Rou took the cake and put it in her arms before saying: "My family has passed away, and now I am alone, and I have no belongings, so I can follow you immediately." ”

"The two eldest brothers are so kind-hearted, and they have jobs that can eat and live, I must do things well." She looked like she was afraid that they would regret it, and praised them anxiously.

"......" The two men felt that this woman had some bad character, and she had no family, and she still coveted these two cakes. But it's this kind of person who is more interesting when he suffers.

Thinking of this, they said, "Then come with us, and we will be there in a moment." ”

A person stepped forward to lead the way, and Zhuang Rou looked at it and followed behind him. As expected, the remaining man immediately followed, and walked down the hill with them.

After a while, the man who led the way turned sideways, and instead of going to the city wall, he walked sideways into a shack area, where only the path trodden by the homeless people.

Although there were no lanterns and torches, Zhuang Rou could still see that this road did not seem to go to the north of the city, but to the uninhabited wilderness.

She felt that these two people were probably not abductors, but gangsters with some filthy ideas. I don't know how many girls have been deceived by them before.

Since you have encountered it, then needless to say, it is better to cut it all and bring it back to the yamen.

Just thinking about it, a pile of fire suddenly appeared on the side of Hongzhou City, and many people rushed out like a long dragon, three human dragons rushed towards the homeless people, and the others continued to rush forward.

There was a noise among the homeless people closest to the foot of the mountain, and it was hard to hear what was happening there, but the people who were illuminated with torches were dressed in the clothes of the officials.

"Strange, what is the government doing, are you crazy?" Zhuang Rou looked curiously at the foot of the mountain, the official holding the torch drove all the people in the shack out, and then went in and rummaged through and came out again, as if he was looking for something.

This movement was too big, and she was a little worried that if she alarmed the two men and scared them away before they could do anything, it would be in vain.

She felt that she couldn't wait any longer, so she decided to trick the two of them into a place where no one was around, and then cut them off and catch them back when they wanted to attack her.

Thinking about it in her heart, Zhuang Rou immediately turned around, wanting to urge the two to hurry up, but found that the two were retreating, so she hurriedly shouted: "Two big brothers, where are you going, wait for me!" ”

But the two of them said as they ran: "The official will not let us come out to recruit displaced people to work, only people from the city, and you will wait at the place where we meet tomorrow!" ”

I want to run!

It seemed that the official under the mountain had frightened the two of them, and Zhuang Rou allowed them to escape, picked up two fist-sized stones from the ground, and hit them on the head.

"Ahh With two screams, the two men couldn't dodge the attack behind them at all, and were directly hit in the head and fell to the ground.

Zhuang Rou was very surprised, they didn't even know a little martial arts, so they came out to gang up to commit murder against women, what a shame!

She ran over and kicked the two men on the ground, kicking them out of their coma. The black lights couldn't see who was beating them, and they only felt that the bones in their bodies were kicked off.

Just as they were about to resist against the pain, their crotch was so bad that they hit hard, and the two rolled their eyes in pain and fainted again.

Zhuang Rou was playing happily, and suddenly found that the two of them were not screaming or moving, and stopped to look at it and scolded indignantly: "Hmph, it's really cheap for you to faint!" ”

Although I didn't track anyone today, it wasn't a trip for nothing to catch two bastards back.

She tore off their belts with all her might, tied their hands firmly, and then shouted to the shacks that seemed to be empty, "Come four people, help me drag these gangsters down the slope, and I will give ten copper coins each." ”

"By the way, you can also get a cake per person." Zhuang Rou remembered that the two of them took out two rounds of cakes, so she turned out a cloth bag on them, and when she opened it, there were still cakes, exactly four.

As soon as the words fell, several people rushed out of the shack, scrambling to pull the two gangsters on the ground, for fear that others would rob them of their place.

Zhuang Rou rolled her eyes at them, "I pretended to be dead just now, but now I'm running fast." ”

"I will ask four of them to give you bread, and I will give you the copper coins when they are below." She gave the bread to the four of them, and as she watched them quietly groping them as they dragged them, she knew they were looking for money.

It's a pity that when she was looking for the cake just now, she had already taken away the purses of these two people. The two of them were very poor, and they could feel it when they pinched their purses, and there was no silver at all, adding up to thirty or forty copper coins.

However, it is useless to take silver here, copper coins are easy to buy people's hearts, and it just so happens that Zhuang Rou does not have many copper coins on hand, which can be regarded as coming in handy for her.

She led the four homeless people down the hill and encountered a search by the government.

The leader of the catcher surnamed Guan, when he saw them sneakily dragging people down, he immediately drew his knife and shouted: "What are you dragging?" Corpses! ”

"No, sir, you're mistaken. These two people wanted to rob the people's daughter, but I knocked them unconscious with a stone, and they were specially brought over to report to the official. Zhuang Rou considered that she might have to come here tomorrow, so she didn't want to reveal her identity for the time being.

But the displaced people who dragged people here were so frightened and trembled, hating themselves for being so stupid at that time, they should have collected the money first and then dragged people. Now they ask for money in front of officials, saying that they are accomplices in murder, what can they do!

At this moment, Zhuang Rou took the initiative to take out two very old purses, took out copper plates from them and distributed them to the four people, "You can go, and I will talk to the government about the rest." ”

The four of them took the copper coin and ran into the darkness, and Guan Zhutou suddenly shouted: "What a bold man, he actually let the suspect go in front of me!" ”

"Shhh Zhuang Rou said with a sigh.

Guan Zhutou was stunned, but he followed Zhuang Rou and mixed a lot of silver, so he hurriedly raised the torch and carefully looked at the female homeless person in front of him. His face was so dirty that he didn't see it at first glance, but after a few more glances, he finally recognized it.

He was surprised and asked, "My lord, how did you get like this?" ”

Zhuang Rou pointed to the two people on the ground and said: "In order to arrest these two people, the gangsters who specialize in robbing people's girls, you first send someone to put them in prison, and wait for me to go back and have a good trial." ”

Guan Zhutou was very embarrassed and said: "My lord, now there is no manpower, everyone has come out, not even a single miscellaneous servant has been spared, and there is really no one to escort them back to the city." ”

"What kind of big case is this, it is so hard to mobilize the people, and King An was killed?" Zhuang Rou was not worried about Chu Xia's safety at all, Xiao Ran and they were amazing.

Besides, if he was killed, these officials in Hongzhou would not be so active, and immediately came out and sent people to find the murderer.

Guan Zhutou lowered his voice and said: "My lord, they are the two sons of King An's Mansion, who followed the young master of Fan Tongzhi's family out to hunt, and now they haven't come back, and even the guards are gone!" ”
