Chapter 12: Escape

Although Yu Moji is physically and mentally exhausted, she has lived alone for a long time, and the accumulated vigilance is still there.

After the Wei family sent someone to block her at the entrance of the alley last time, she deliberately paid attention to finding a way out of the narrow alley, and finally found the drainage channel between the two rows of rented houses at the back, which could lead directly to the "anthill" where she lived. The place was pickled and narrow, and it didn't look like a person, but Yu Moji was thin and small because of lack of food and clothing, and when the situation was urgent, it was not a problem to forcibly squeeze through.

Yu Moji took advantage of the night to go around to the drainage channel, hid and observed for a while.

She soon realized that it was the servants of the yamen who had come to arrest people.

The "anthill" is inhabited by poor people. But "poor" is just one of thousands of classifications. These people do everything to make a living. There are a lot of people who steal chickens and dogs, and secretly prostitute people who only know Yu Moji.

Therefore, it is not unheard of before that a servant came to catch a prisoner.

It's just that the government of Aige Village has always been very chaotic, and it is even more sloppy and uncommon for the poor people of the Su tribe in the above picture to be sloppy and deceive the public. Although Yu Moji thought that he had not done anything illegal, he did not dare to stand under the dangerous wall.

Especially now that she has received an admission letter from the Cardinal. After all, the Cardinal is an institution directly under the Ministry of War, and this kind of place pays the most attention to innocence. Yu Mochen is still not sure whether she can be admitted to the hospital smoothly, if she is involved in some unknown and inconvenient cases, and then she is charged with an inexplicable crime by the always stupid official in the Mourning and Comfort Division, the road ahead may be even more difficult.

She looked around cautiously, and soon noticed that the weapon in the officer's hand was familiar. It's just that as far as she can see, the torches in the hands of the servants are far away, and she can't see clearly, and she doesn't know if they are the same as the weapons in the hands of Miss Wei's attendants during the day.

Yu Moji squatted in the buzzing mosquito pile for a while, and suddenly noticed that someone was coming this way, and hurriedly pasted it on the wall.

She looked at it closely, only to find that Ah Peng from the cake shop had already closed the stall and was rushing here to splash water.

Yu Mojin took a deep breath, forcibly kneaded a face a little calm, a little confused, and walked out to say hello, "Brother Peng, you just closed the stall." ”

Ah Peng was startled, and when he saw that it was her, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "It's so messy outside, what are you running out for?" ”

Yu Mojin thought that Ah Peng had discovered what he was hiding, so he was startled, and after a turn of his mind, he realized that the other party had just come out of the house. She was not easy to explain, so she hurriedly casually came up with a reason, "There is an urgent letter, and I forgot to give it to the master of the martial arts hall, so I have to send it over quickly." ”

Even though Ah Peng always looks like he is not used to the people of Qi on weekdays, he understands very well that the masters of the martial arts hall are all from the Qi country, and the urgent affairs of the people of Qi cannot but be done quickly.

He nodded, looked back a few more times, and said, "It's a big night, it's not safe for you to walk by yourself, come with me." I'll pick up your sister-in-law. ”

Only then did Yu Mochen remember that Ah Peng and his wife worked as a maid in a wealthy businessman, and he had to pick up the stall every day.

Thinking of this, Yu Mochen couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Ah Peng boasted about picking up his wife every day on weekdays, as if he felt sorry for his wife. However, Ah Peng's fierce appearance of punching and kicking his wife when he has nothing to do is no different from other Tusu men.

Yu Moji is an outsider, and it is not easy to criticize anything. Especially at this moment, the surrounding situation is unclear, so Yu Moji decided to go out with Ah Peng for a while to avoid the limelight.

Peng looked nervous. Yu Mochen couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when he looked at him like that, and after thinking about it, he asked again, "Why did you close the door so late today?" ”

Ah Peng looked back a few more times to make sure that there was no one around, and then whispered, "A group of errands are here." Their shop has been inspected for a long time. As he spoke, he complained, "I've been selling cakes for a day, and I haven't gone anywhere, so why do you want to interrogate me." Bullying honest people. ”

Yu Moji forcibly piled it into her not too big face, and said, "The yamen is here to arrest people again?" ”

"Yes," Ah Peng furrowed his brows, looked behind him, and said, "This time there is a lot of movement, grab a piece." ”

Yu Moji asked, "What's going on?" ”

Ah Peng glanced at her quite seriously and said, "Let me ask you, today the son of the deputy envoy of the Xuanwei Department married his wife, and his in-laws pulled a gold-burning car to marry his daughter. The battle is huge, do you see it? ”

Yu Moji's heart jumped. She didn't know the situation, it was hard to say yes, and it was hard to say no, so she sloppily said, "I heard people talk about it." ”

Ah Peng nodded and said seriously, "Even if you really see it, don't tell others." ”

Yu Moji was a little inexplicable, and said, "What can't you say about the big joy?" ”

"I don't know what happened to the daughter of that family on the way to get married, before she arrived at her husband's house, someone rumored that she had caused her life," Ah Peng said and looked back three times, "Where can the deputy envoy stand this, the messenger of the Propaganda Department was immediately dispatched." said that everyone who saw something wrong would be arrested and questioned. ”

Yu Moji said strangely, "In broad daylight, how many pairs of eyes are watching on the road, do you have to catch them?" ”

"The government wants to arrest people, there are ways," Ah Peng's tone was very indignant, but he was afraid that someone would hear it, so he lowered his voice very low, "I guess, I just want to kill people and establish power." When the toss is almost over, no one dares to slander these dignitaries. ”

"......" Yu Moji didn't know what to say.

Miss Wei's car did hurt pedestrians, but the precautions that people should have done were also done, and the Jin Ruyi given could also be regarded as compensation. Although this rumor of "killing people" is not wrong, it is really excessive.

As for the reaction of the deputy envoy of the Propaganda Department, it was really excessive. In the hearts of the Tusu civilians in the local area of Waige, the image of the official government of Qi has always been very poor. The Xuanwei Division insists on getting involved like this, and once it arouses public anger, I am afraid that it will make a big deal again.

What made Yu Mochen even more troublesome was that she was a witness, and she was the object that Xuanwei Si was looking for at this time. Although she didn't think that Xuan Wei Si would "kill people and kill people", and felt that the rumor was not fair to Miss Wei, she was not willing to get involved in this matter.

After all, Miss Wei's performance was arrogant and indifferent, and Yu Moji was reluctant to testify for Miss Wei; On the other hand, due to the consistent bad style of the Xuanwei Division, Yu Moji was deeply afraid that the government would indiscriminately impose some charges on himself.

Yu Mochen was very conflicted in his heart, and before he could come up with a comprehensive idea, he had already arrived at the intersection.

Yu Mochen was afraid that he would be bumped into by the messenger on the main road, so he had to use his previous lie to deduce that the road to the master's house was on the other side, and Ah Peng had to walk along the main road, so he had to tell her to be careful again and again, and the two separated.

Yu Moji walked to the side for a while, and after thinking about it, he felt that the drainage channel was still hidden, and it was convenient to observe the situation, so he walked back lightly.

The officers hadn't even left.

Yu Moji had no choice but to squat in the stinking ditch of the drainage channel, hiding his body by the messy waste at the crossing, and he didn't dare to come out.

People are constantly being taken away and interrogated. Someone tried to keep the door shut, but to no avail. The door of their "anthill" was kicked open by the servants without even much effort.

Yu Moji stood in a coincidental position, and she could barely see her room with a slight tiptoe. When she looked around, she saw that there were several officers behind her, holding a convulsive prisoner, scolding and questioning the occupants.

It turned out that the prisoner had been confessed that he had witnessed the Wei family's steam copper cart run over people, and at this moment he was taking the messenger to identify other passers-by.

The group walked to where Yu Moji lived, and broke the door open in a few clicks.

Yu Moji could only congratulate himself on being cautious enough not to go back to the house.

The next room was soon treated in the same way, and the neighbor was dragged out.

The messenger sharply interrogated the neighbor's whereabouts during the day, but the neighbor was a hard bone, and had always been very dissatisfied with the aligners, and was questioned by the messengers at this moment, and ignored it.

The officer immediately turned to the prisoner and said, "Did you see this person at that time?" ”

The prisoner was already tortured to the point of madness, and his voice was trembling, "There are so many people on the street, where do you remember the small ones!" ”

One of the officers on the side immediately gave him a stick. Yu Moji heard a pain in his flesh.

The prisoner howled terribly and cried, "I say! I say! ”

"Have you seen it?"

"Probably...... Probably seen ......"

The sound of sticks hitting the human body sounded again. After another scream, the prisoner finally confessed, "Yes! I've seen it! ”

The officer immediately began to bind his neighbor, who was standing by, and brought him back for questioning.

The neighbor finally became angry and shouted loudly, "You Qi people killed someone, don't you dare to admit it?" Why torture us Tusu people? ”

"Don't talk nonsense," the officer threatened, "be careful of cutting your tongue." ”

"A murderer is a murderer!" The neighbor raised his head and said, "The dogs of the Qi people are not as good as the beasts!" ”

A knife immediately pierced his neighbor's body, and he fell to the ground, his eyes wide open as he faced the officer with an angry face.

Yu Moji covered his mouth tightly.

But someone called out for her.

Yu Mojin looked at it in a panic, it turned out that Ah Peng and his wife had returned. Ah Peng's wife was already slumped on the ground in fright, Ah Peng rushed up and held her down, and said in a stacked voice, "The master spares his life, the master spares his life, and he has never seen the world ......."

The officer walked over with a knife and shouted, "What man?!" ”

Ah Peng was so frightened that he was about to lean on his wife, "Uncles, you have already inquired about the villain. This is a cheap woman, she has been working as a maid at Wang Dahu's house all day, and she only came back at this hour......"

"Take it away, go and ask Wang Dahu." The voice of the errand was categorical, and Yu Moji heard the cry of Ah Peng's wife again.

Ah Peng cried helplessly: "Give me back my wife...... We are good citizens and never go where we shouldn't......"

The messenger ignored his request, and only pointed to the place where Yu Moji lived, and said, "Do you recognize the people who live here?" ”

"Recognize, recognize." Ah Peng replied tremblingly while crying, "I've seen it before." If the uncle is willing to return his wife to the villain, the villain will lead the way for you. ”

Yu Moji was shocked and aggrieved, and this person just told her to be careful!

The errand officer did not accept Ah Peng's conditions, and did not mention his wife at all, but only forced him to ask about the whereabouts of Yu Moji.

Before the stick began to greet, Ah Peng honestly beckoned, and even revealed the identity of Yu Moji. Then he cried and shouted to his wife all the way, and took the errand to follow the road that he had accompanied Yu Moji before.

The officers were satisfied, and took the broken prisoner to check the next household.

Yu Moji's legs were already shaking a little. She gritted her teeth and pinched her thighs fiercely, warning herself not to make a noise.

Her head went blank, and she pinched each other with her hands for a long time before she calmed herself down.

While she tried her best to stay awake, a little joy floated through her heart.

Fortunately, she ignored Ah Peng's kindness and made up a destination to deliberately deceive; Luckily, she had kept an eye on the drain and was able to hide like a rat ant.

She crouched in the drain in fear, motionless, and her legs were numb anyway.

It rained heavily in the middle of the night, so the servants finished their work and went home. Rao was like this, Yu Moji didn't dare to go out, and hid for a long time.

The residents in the alleys outside all know each other, and when they meet on weekdays, they will also say hello quite friendly, say a few words about the three strengths and weaknesses of the neighborhood, and even secretly accuse the rule of the Qi people with the same hatred...... Now, however, each of them may be able to give up the ink marks.

The endless dispute between the Tusu people and the Qi people has been entrenched on Yu Moji's side for many years. The threat was everywhere, but it had left the ink trail for so long that it had caused her to form some kind of naïve hallucination, mistakenly thinking that she could be at peace with it.

Now the situation is getting worse and finally conspires with the impermanence of fate, and a gentle gust of wind completely drags Yu Moji out of the orbit of stealing peace.

On the fourth watch, Yu Moji touched a few silver tickets hidden close to him, and finally made a decision.

She had to escape.
