Chapter 17: Intention to Extinguish the Mouth

The lunch was brought by two women, who had eaten it one by one, and the two women packed up their dishes and went back.

At night, it still does.

Wang Xian couldn't sit still, and as soon as the door was locked, she pulled Lan E over and said, "If you don't let us go, you won't see us, is this to suffocate the two of us?" ”

Suffocation?

I really want to.

It takes a long time to suffocate to death, and if you put the mat in the morning, those people will be like frightened birds at this moment, and it is strange if you don't cut the mess quickly.

Lan E already knew it in her heart, but she couldn't say these things to Wang Xianming.

Lan E rolled her eyes and said, "You and I haven't gone back for two days and one night, aren't you in a hurry to be a father and mother?" These people will go to the inn now, and wait. ”

Wang Xian is right to think about it, now people are entertaining with delicious food and drink, and when she opens the door and locks the door, she still knows how to ask, "I'm waiting to go in...... I'm waiting to lock the door......

Quite a lot of respect for the two.

Wang Xian was relieved, not only relieved, but also a little proud.

Wang Xian said proudly: "I still have a way, as soon as I bring out my father, these people will shrink their heads and tails, and they will send us back to the pavilion tomorrow." ”

Lan'e was noncommittal, just shook off the quilt and slept.

At night, Lan E was sleeping deeply, and suddenly heard a few pecks on the door, and someone shouted in a suppressed voice: "Lady...... Lady ......"

Someone!

Lan'e turned over and stayed smart, because there were wooden planks on the ground, and she was barefoot, she walked to the door silently like a cat, and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”

The man outside the door seemed startled and did not speak for a long time.

She didn't speak, and Lan'e leaned her head against the door panel, also holding her breath.

After a while, the man outside the door stuck to the crack in the door and said, "It's the little lady, I'm Ai Niang, I have something to say to the lady." ”

Lan E squinted her eyes and deliberately yawned, and then asked with a strong sense of sleepiness: "Sister Ai Niang, what's the matter?" ”

Ai Niang stomped her feet anxiously: "Oops! The little lady is still asleep, so she can escape quickly, and An Niang wants to sink the two little ladies into the river. ”

Lan'e had sharp ears, and heard someone next to her urging in a low voice: "Let's go, An Niang is here." ”

Before Lan E could speak, Ai Niang hurriedly said, "I'm leaving......"

The footsteps slipped away and went to the back of the house.

Lan E raised her eyebrows.

Since Wang Xian revealed her identity in the morning, she knew that it was bad, these people forcibly levied taxes in the name of sacrifice, but they privately pocketed the taxes.

In the name of the river god, young girls were recruited, and there were hundreds of women and men guarding them, while there were only a dozen fasting girls.

Whether it's money or a girl, it seems that they can't stand up to scrutiny, and they can't see the light.

In order to cover up this, these people will not let themselves and Wang Xian live.

Lan E walked over to look at the window, the wooden stick was cut against the window lattice, the top was all broken, and the bottom was only connected to a trace of silk.

Do you want to go out here?

As the saying goes, catch a thief and take stolen goods, if you leave this place today, you will inevitably find it difficult to look back and check again.

But if you don't leave at this time, your life is in danger.

That's it, spare the surname Liu first.

Lan E turned around and took the clothes and quickly put them on, thought for a moment, and then woke up Wang Xian: "Don't talk, get dressed quickly." ”

Wang Xian's eyes rolled twice, without asking a word, she touched her clothes and put them on her body.

Here, Lan'e had removed the wooden stick, grabbed the window lattice, and climbed up.

It's just that...... The windowsill is somewhat high.

She's a little short, and she's a little strong......

Inside, Wang Xian ran over with her clothes dressed, and saw her two feet hanging in the air, so she simply supported her two legs and sent her up, and Lan E fell out of the window.

Suddenly, Wang Xian also jumped out.

The night was dim, and Lan E only saw the blue and white lantern light forcing into the door at seven or eight o'clock, and someone faintly asked, "Is the cloth bag ready?" ”

"Hmm...... Ready. ”

"Wait and throw it into the river, and then drop a few more stones, and the stones will ......."

"There's a lot of rocks over there."

Sure enough, they came to kill someone.

Lan E pointed to the reeds not far away, and said in a low voice, "Go." ”

The two of them ran over with their waists.

An Niang led people to the door, and when she took out the key to open the door, a woman held a lantern and went in to take a photo, and suddenly screamed: "No one, where did the person run away!" ”

The door was locked, and the window was embedded with a wooden bar...... Wu Niang turned to look at the window.

The left half is empty.

If a person runs away and spoils the affairs of the county guard, not to mention money, it is life......

An Niang's face turned blue instantly, and she gritted her teeth and hissed: "Quick search, the two little ladies can't run far." ”

Seven or eight people responded in an uproar, and each of them took a lantern and spread it out.

A post house twenty miles away.

Wang Ke arrived at the door of the post house, dismounted without waiting for the servants to come forward, threw the whip to the escort behind him, and asked in a deep voice: "Is Bilangjun back?" ”

Uncle Yun stepped forward to give a salute, and after saluting, he followed him into the door and whispered: "Bilangjun has been back for half an hour, and he is now waiting for the adults in the room." ”

I came back early, and it seems that the three elders in Changyang have done it here.

Wang Ke's eyebrows tightened, and a little coldness was added in an instant.

When the two of them entered the courtyard where they lived, Uncle Yun spontaneously stood in front of the house, and Wang Ke entered the house.

Wang Bizheng looked down at the celadon cup on the table, and when he saw Wang Ke out of the corner of his eye, he poured tea and held it, and said softly: "Father is tired for a day, so take a sip of tea first." ”

"It's really a hindrance, she ...... a few words."

Wang Ke snorted, took a few sips of tea, and when he found a chair to sit down, he said: "The newly invited wizard has already divined the hexagram, and three days later, he will worship the river god at the Qinghe Ferry, and all the officials in the county will go to watch the ceremony." With that, he glanced at his son, "How are you?" ”

Wang Bi smiled lightly: "My son is fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

is not dishonored, that is, first, to visit the township, to find out what Liu Yi and the temple witch did, and second, to invite the rich people in the township to go to the Qinghe River to participate in the sacrifice.

Now the small festival has become a large sacrifice for thousands of people, and everyone is watching it......

Wang Ke's narrow raised eyebrows jumped, and he asked in a deep voice: "Liu Yi really colluded with Miaozhu Pit and divided the taxes that were forcibly levied?" ”

Wang Bi sighed, although it was a sigh, but there was a little smile in his expression: "The Liu family has always boasted of being upright, and I still think it ...... Since he took office, he has used the temple to collect money. Roughly calculated, even if there is a famine this year, he has amassed as many as a million. If it is a year of abundant grains, I am afraid of ...... Well. ”

Wang Bi stretched out his palm and flipped it twice to his father.

Wang Ke saw it, the coldness between his eyebrows became thicker, it was not enough to accumulate wealth in a fruitful year, and he was so ruthless in a year of famine, I am afraid that there will be chaos.

Xingyang is only more than 300 miles away from Jinyang, and if the victims here make trouble, it will also affect the border counties of Jinyang.

Wang Ke pondered for a moment, then looked back at the door and ordered: "I want to go to Chang'an about this matter, and it is best to reveal it to Li Shu." ”

Li Cho, then the Great Si Nong.

As a farmer, he was in charge of the country's taxes and money, and was mainly responsible for military dispatch, such as land rent, oral endowment, and salt and iron monopoly, all of which were transported to the sea...... It belongs to the silver seal green ribbon, and the rank is 2,000 stones.

This kind of thing is going to be done to him......

Uncle Yun wiped his sweat and agreed.

"Father is really annoyed with the Liu family." The corners of Wang Bi's lips were slightly hooked, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

Wang Ke slanted his eyes, lowered his face and said, "Your mother is suspenseful for thirteen days and nights, and you still have a cool wind here." For the sake of the Father, it is better for you to go for a walk by the river. ”

That little sister didn't know what was going on.

It's good to take a look.

Wang Bi got up and saluted: "Yes, my son will retire." Then he turned and walked out of the room.
