The two of them came all the way with dry food and cold water, and finally ate some hot soup at this time, but they were silent and ate silently.

The uncle finished eating first, and seeing that Tan Ran still hadn't finished half of the bowl, he said: "Sister Ran, the uncle has something to do in front, you eat slowly here, and wait for the uncle to come back here after eating." ”

Tan Ran nodded, and the uncle helped take care of the children with the stall owner, and left hurriedly.

After eating a few more bites, and finally finished, Tan Ran sat for a while, saw some stalls not far from the corner, thought about it and walked over.

When the stall was set up, the old mother-in-law, the stall was full of cloth shoes, Tan Ran estimated that she picked a pair of cloth shoes with blue brown stitches and solid stitches, she looked at it and asked, "Grandma, how much are these shoes?" ”

Grandma was still making shoes in her hand, listening to the question, she glanced at the yellow and thin girl in front of her: "Thirty copper coins, are you buying them for your family?" ”

Tan Ran nodded: "My uncle's shoes are broken, and I want to buy him a new pair." ”

Uncle went all the way over the mountains and mountains, and the shoes were already broken, Tan Ran really couldn't stand it, and when he saw the shoe stall, he was ready to buy him a pair.

Grandma sighed: "It's a filial child." ”

Tan Ran pursed her lips and smiled, although thirty copper plates were not much, but she didn't have any copper coins on her body, after thinking about it, she took off the earrings that the gave her before, and asked, "Grandma, can I use this earrings to offset the money?" ”

The mother-in-law put down the needle and thread in her hand, took Tan Ran's earrings and took a closer look, the earrings are not big, and the materials are not expensive, but the workmanship is really exquisite, which is definitely worth thirty copper plates.

It's just that he still looks like he is losing, and he said: "That's it, look at your child's filial piety, and the old woman will lose a little." ”

Tan Ran smiled, did not tear it down, thanked him, put away his shoes and was about to leave, when suddenly there was a crying sound on the street.

It turned out that two officials were forcibly oppressing a young woman about fourteen or fifteen years old, and then the woman knelt on the ground and kept begging.

"My lord, please let the little girl go, she is about to get married, if she goes to the yamen, her life will be ruined!"

One of the officials kicked the woman away and shouted, "Get out of here, delay the official's errands, and be careful that even you are caught in with you." ”

The woman was kicked to the ground, got up again, and begged: "My lord, the little girl has been filial and sensible since she was a child, respects the old and loves the young, even if the official family arrests people, there must be a reason, what mistake did the little girl make!" ”

The official sneered: "Your family is poor and has never had the opportunity to touch the piano, but your daughter played a song "Chaofeng Song" in Linxiang Tower half a month ago, how do you say she will?" ”

The woman had no idea that this was the reason, but what was so strange about being able to play a tune.

The woman who was caught hurriedly explained: "I once heard someone play, and after listening to it, I remembered that the adult was really wronged." ”

The official sent a whip to the woman, and shouted, "Did you speak?" ”

When the woman saw her daughter being beaten, she cried: "My lord, is there something wrong with that song, but my daughter also played it after listening to others, and she doesn't know anything!" ”

The official said: "The song is fine, but a person who has never learned the piano will play the most difficult "Chaofeng Song" after listening to it once, and your daughter may be a spy of which country!" ”

As soon as the word spy came out, the people on the street were silent, and the woman's husband hurriedly came out and grabbed the woman and ran back, and the girl who was caught was also stunned, and let the two officials push her away.

The mother-in-law looked ahead and shook her head: "It's a sin, it's the first time." ”

Tan Ran came back to his senses and asked, "Grandma, has the official errand here always been like this?" ”

Grandma shook her head and said: "No, there was no such situation before, after the Lantern Festival this year, there are always officials who go to people's homes to arrest some teenage girls, and they all say that other people's children are spies, but those children are all raised by our neighbors since childhood, where are the spies." ”

Tan Ran's heart gradually sank, and asked, "Didn't anyone report it to the prefect?" ”

Grandma sighed: "What to report, it is all an order from above, I heard that the first to arrest people from Kyoto, but we are far away from Kyoto, and we started recently." ”

Tan Ran's face was a little pale, and he asked, "Are all teenage girls arrested?" ”

"But no, it is said that the capital also sent An Pingwei to investigate these things."

Tan Ran hugged his shoes, only to feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and the bloodthirsty sneer of that person seemed to be right in front of him.
