Song Ran lifted the curtain and watched the urn city at the city gate getting closer and closer. Last year, there was a flood in the area around Ling'an, and there was no harvest, and the granary of Ling'an distributed relief grain to it every month, so that the grain trucks out of the city were endless these days. The officers and men defending the city were expressionless, checking the documents one by one, waving their hands to let them go, and pulling aside those who were slightly suspicious to ask about them, and everything was in order.

As the time for the handover approached, the officers and men naturally did not want to make any extraneous troubles, and the speed of the inspection unconsciously increased.

The sun is in the sky.

At the city gate, there is no Jinyilang.

The carriage followed behind a grain cart, approaching the checkpoint out of the city step by step.

Soon, the officers and soldiers let the grain cart go and waved to the wagon. Zhong Bo led the carriage and stepped forward and carefully answered the other party's inquiry.

The officers and soldiers carefully looked at the road guide he handed over, looked up sharply, and looked at Zhong Bo: "Who is in the car?" Come down and ask! ”

"Back to the official, there are female dependents in the car, and it is inconvenient to get out of the car, so you can be accommodating."

Song Ran lifted the curtain and saluted the other party. The officer and soldier glanced at the document again, confirmed it again, closed it, waved his hand, and said, "Let me go." ”

With this release, Song Ran's hanging heart was completely let go.

Uncle Zhong led the carriage and headed out of the city. However, before he could wave his horsewhip, a person attached to the ear of the official who was the right person to check the documents, said something, his eyes lit up, and he raised his voice: "Slow! ”

The other guards reacted quickly and immediately surrounded the carriage.

And the commissioner hurriedly walked out from behind the table, and his tone was filled with great trepidation: "My lord, why are you here in person, the lower official is not far away!" ”

The person worshiped by the acting official, dressed in a silver-gray brocade robe, surrounded by several people, walked here, and before he could see his eyebrows, he already felt the cold official authority. The acting official was worried in his heart, what kind of wind blew this Lord of Yama here?

The brocade-clothed man didn't speak, but a small young man behind him circled around the carriage: "The little lady in the car is so bold, she dares to coexist with the imperial court. He knocked on the wall of the car with the handle of the knife, "Give me down, don't let me go in and arrest people myself." ”

Zhong Bo got out of the car and hurriedly defended: "I'm afraid that the official has misunderstood, and there is only one young lady in the car, so he will give us a few more dares, and he will not dare to harbor the felons pursued by the Imperial Health Division." ”

Song Ran clutched Luo's skirt tightly in the car, not even daring to breathe too loudly.

The little man raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's all this time, and the dead duck has a hard mouth." Do you know who we adults are? After speaking, he didn't introduce who their adults were, but said, "Listen, grandpa's name is Xia Xiaoqiu, and the adult next to him is Lord Shen, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Health Division!" You have eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard, dare to lie in front of adults! ”

I only heard a gentle and soft voice from the car: "The people dare not hide the prisoner privately, the adults are only afraid of misunderstanding." ”

"Don't give me this set!" Xia Xiaoqiu said, and turned to his own adult, "My lord, you only need a word, and you will lift the car if you are lowly!" ”

"No need." The man in brocade said, "People are not in the car." ”

Xia Xiaoqiu was stunned: "What? ”

Before he could react, he saw his adult step forward and tear the curtain open.

The people in the car didn't seem to expect his movements, and looked at him fixedly with a surprised expression on their faces.

The grass warbler flies in February days. That young and picturesque face, like a peach blossom hidden in the deep mountains, suddenly met his eyes.

Looking at each other, the surprise in her eyes faded away, leaving a clear and clear surface, reflecting his indifferent face.

She had seen the man in front of her before, with a cold gaze, and his face was full of coldness and imperiousness.

He stared at her closely, his eyes were indifferent, and there was a careless threat in his slightly cold voice: "The girl is so bold, I'm afraid she wants to go to Tingweisi for a cup of tea." ”

She clenched the hem of her skirt: "If the adults have an order, the people and girls will have to obey, right?" ”

Shen Hanxi noticed her small movements, and his expression became colder and colder. He shook his hand and lowered the curtain and instructed Xia Xiaoqiu: "Take a team of people to chase the grain truck that just left." Then they sent people to the gates of the city, and all the vehicles that went out of the city today were intercepted and carefully checked. ”

Xia Xiaoqiu immediately took the order and left.

He stroked the wrench on his hand, and his mind gradually sank, but he didn't expect that he would be calculated by a little girl in his wise life.

Turning her eyes, she had gotten out of the car and obediently stretched out her two hands.

Slender jade hands, strange and coveted.

The accompanying Jin Yilang was about to tie her up with a rope, but his gaze swept away coldly: "I seem to have said, I just invited the girl to have a cup of tea." ”

The other party shivered when he heard this, and hurriedly let go of his slender hand: "Humble and rude!" ”

Song Ran lowered his eyebrows and hid his hands in his cloak: "Thank you, my lord." However, the folk girl went with the adults alone, and Zhong Bo was just a subordinate, and asked the adults to let him go. ”

Shen Hanxi's voice was leisurely: "What the girl said is true." The official was also afraid of telling the truth, saying that the court guard was bullying the old and weak women and children. The officer's carriage stopped there, and the girl went up and waited. ”

Song Ran saw that he was not embarrassed by Uncle Zhong, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and looked at the old man beside him: "Uncle Zhong, I will go back as soon as I go, and I want you to take care of your affairs before." ”

The old man stood there, his wrinkled face full of uneasiness: "The old slave understands, the young lady must come back." ”

But the governor who guarded the city sighed in his heart.

There is a proverb in Ling'an City that is widely spread - if you are an official, you will not enter the court guard, and you will not marry a Jinyilang.

Nating Weisi is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, where is there a chance for such a beautiful girl to come out? Even if it is not ruined, I am afraid that it will have to die a miserable death.

Even the emperor can't save it.

At this time, at another gate out of the city, Hang Dazheng stopped in the shade of a tree and waited. The owner asked him to wait here today for someone yesterday and take him out of the city with him. But I waited until the appointed time, and I didn't wait for half a shadow.

He followed the instructions he had received in advance, raised his horsewhip, and drove towards the city gates.

The officers and soldiers defending the city routinely asked: "Report your identity and the reason for leaving the city." ”

"I am the 'first in the world' guy of Liuchen Shop, and a batch of goods should have arrived three days ago, but there has been no news until now, and the owner is afraid that something will go wrong with this batch of goods, so I will go out of the city to greet them."

When the carriage drove out of the city gate, he secretly said that the friend of the owner was probably delayed by something......

Song Ran stepped on the wheel and got into the carriage. The interior of the car is extremely spacious, and the seats are covered with a blanket of peony flowers woven with gold bottoms, which exudes elegance and luxury.

She chose a seat and sat down, calm on the surface, but in her heart it was as if there were ten thousand streams of water flowing in the hollow, making a loud rumbling sound. Countless thoughts swirled in their minds, did Jiang Lili betray them, or did Ting Weisi's ears and eyes already catch their whereabouts? On the way to Shicai, she has been paying attention to the fact that there are buildings everywhere in this city, and although she can't grasp all the wind and grass, it is not difficult to find out the whereabouts of a carriage.

The murderous intent hidden in the shadows made her fingertips chill slightly.

It seems that this Ling'an City, which is full of singing and dancing, is not a happy land.

Her thoughts retracted the moment Shen Hanxi came in. He stayed outside the car for a short time, not knowing what he was arranging.

Where is the dumb man at this time, can he meet Hangda smoothly?

Such thoughts flickered through her heart.

Shen Hanxi sat in the car, said "go" to the outside of the car, and lowered the curtain.

The car was spacious, and although he sat far away, the strange and domineering atmosphere instantly filled the entire space as he sat in.

His presence is so strong that she feels like she is on pins and needles.

The car shook, he looked at her lightly and asked her, "How old is it?" ”

She didn't expect his first question to be this, and she was stunned before answering truthfully: "Nineteen." ”

Nineteen years old, like fifteen or sixteen years old just in time. He remembered that Wu Anhou, who was raided by the Imperial Guards a while ago, had a daughter who was her age, and saw that he was so frightened that the whole person was wooden, and her face was pale and pale, originally the female dependents only needed to be official prostitutes, but she came back to her senses before being taken away and hit her head on the prisoner car. Before he died, he shouted his name miserably: "Shen Hanxi, I won't let you go if I turn into a ghost!" ”

As if her father's sins were his. However, he has so much blood on his hands, and he is also used to being hated. He doesn't need the world to know that there is greater power and authority above him, and that authority needs to appear in the form of mercy, and in order to maintain that merciful face, he takes the initiative to turn into a bloody butcher's knife in exchange for everything he needs.

Wealth, the awe of the world, the power of the clouds, and the sense of security of the down-to-earth.

The girl in front of him was as young and as weak as the woman who had died in front of him, and of course she might have met the same fate if she fell into his hands today. He suddenly felt a little bored and discouraged, and his gaze at her became detached and indifferent.

Song Ran didn't know his intention to ask his age, his hands clenched unconsciously, trying not to show timidity in front of him.

"What's it called?" He continued to ask, but his nonchalant tone kept her heart lifting.

"Go back to my lord, the people's daughter Song Ran."

He pondered for a moment: "Miss Song." Do you think that as long as you bite to death and don't admit it, the official will have nothing to do with you? ”

"The women don't dare."

"It's good if you don't dare. What kind of place is the Tingwei Division, presumably the girl also knows, and it won't be hard for a few hours if the iron bones are thrown in. In order not to suffer that sin again, let's tell the truth. ”

Song Ran racked his brains and thought about it, and finally organized a language: "A few days ago, the folk girl was harboring a seriously injured person at home, and accepted his benefits and planned to take him out of the city, but he sensed that something was wrong in the middle and abandoned the car...... His whereabouts are also unclear. ”

I recruited without resistance, but I was quite familiar with current affairs.

He closed his eyes slightly, as if he had not heard, and after a while, he asked her again, "What else?" ”
