15. Drugged
When I returned to the town, it was already noon. Yue Ruyin and his entourage reported to the local yamen, and after signing the complaint, the county magistrate said: "The trial will start tomorrow, and you can leave one person to testify." Although Yue Ruyin was dressed in men's clothes and a shawl with black hair, it was difficult to hide the city, and the county lord was talking and looked sideways many times.
Everyone thought about their relatives because they had been away from home for too long, and they all wanted to go back quickly, but no one said that they were willing to stay. Yue Ruyin thought that she was temporarily homeless, and no one was worried about her, so she said: "I'll stay and testify, you go back quickly and report to your family that you are safe."
The three women looked guilty, and one of the women in green said, "I'll stay with you, and I'll go back when I'm done." The other two women nodded in agreement, "Me too."
Yue Ruyin chuckled and said: "I understand your kindness, now that I am in the official mansion, you don't have to worry about my safety, go back quickly." After some persuasion by Yue Ruyin, the three women said goodbye in tears, and the woman in green asked, "I don't know what the girl's name is?" Where do you live? Do you need us to say to your family that you're okay? ”
Yue Ruyin hesitated for a moment, her eyes were gloomy, and she said with a wry smile: "I~ my name is Zuiyue, my father failed in business, died of depression, and my mother also went with my father." Right now, she can only make up a story to fool people, and she can't say that she is the daughter of the prime minister and the princess of the prince.
"It turns out that the drunken moon girl is a poor person. My family lives in the house of the cattle seller on Yongle Street in the capital, and when you arrive in the capital, come to me. The woman in green said.
"Thank you for your kindness." The moon is like a silver road.
After saying goodbye, the three women drove the carriage in the direction of the capital.
The county master really wanted to arrange Yue Ruyin to live in his own home, but when he thought of his fierce wife at home, he instructed the master: "You take the drunken moon girl to the Jianglai Inn to live, and take care of everything."
The master looked at the eyes of the county lord and realized: "The little one will definitely take care of everything."
I didn't expect the local officials here to be so sympathetic to the people's feelings, it seems that he is a good official who is honest and honest, if she goes back, she will definitely let her father promote this person well. Yue Ruyin thought gratefully, but she didn't know that she had just come out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth again. In the end, he is not deeply involved in the world, and he does not know the sinister hearts of people.
Because few people come to this town, Jianglai Inn is the only inn in this town. When the master brought Yue Ruyin, he was told that the inn had been chartered. The shopkeeper said mysteriously to the master: "It's him." The master's face changed greatly when he heard this, but the task given to him by the county master was not easy not to complete, so he negotiated with the shopkeeper.
In the end, it was decided to arrange Yue Ruyin to live on the second floor. The shopkeeper also told him earnestly: "Don't go up to the third floor, it's best to stay in the room and don't move around at will, food and clothing will be delivered."
Yue Ruyin is curious, who is so big? Even the influence of the local parent official is not as good as this person?
After entering the room, taking a shower, and changing clothes, Yue Ruyin stayed in the room until dark, and the shopkeeper would come to deliver food every once in a while, and Yue Ruyin felt very bored. After drinking the tea sent by the shopkeeper, I only felt very dizzy, so I went to bed in a daze and fell asleep.
The shopkeeper knocked on the door again, but no one answered, quietly opened the door, and saw that Yue Ruyin was asleep, so he withdrew and nodded to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper said to the shopkeeper: "Go and call the county master to come and remind him to move smaller, there is a big man living upstairs."
The shopkeeper ran away, as if he was going to get a reward.
