Chapter 75: The county lord lost his mind and went crazy
At such a late hour, there were people in the yamen, and the two catchers were all fresh faces, complaining that the inn was too far away, and on the other hand, they shouted at Ling Chaofeng very unceremoniously: "Someone reported that Lingxiao Inn is suspected of human trafficking, now come with us to the yamen." ”
They even brought shackles to handcuff Ling Chaofeng.
Aunt Zhang stuffed a few pieces of broken silver into each person, and when they saw that there was a benefit to take it, their faces looked much better, and they told Ling Chaofeng not to act rashly, so they didn't handcuff him.
When Ling Chaofeng walked to the door, he turned around and looked upstairs, Xiaowan stood on the second floor and didn't come down, just went downstairs and saw that it was someone from the yamen, so he told her not to come down, she was very obedient.
Seeing that her husband was arrested and taken away, Xiaowan clenched her fists tightly.
She knew in her heart that only her own family knew about the two beasts being sold to slave traders, and it was not necessarily Daqing who went to Yamen to report it, so only the person who knew the behavior of the two beasts was Yue Huaiyin who was making trouble.
Xiaowan has never felt that she is a smart person, but today for some reason, her brain turned extremely fast.
"What's wrong?" Two guests from the north side of the room came out to look.
"It's nothing, I've disturbed the two guest officers." Xiaowan immediately took out the shopkeeper's style and said kindly, "Since the two guest officers haven't slept yet, can I send you some supper?" ”
The two waved their hands, as if they were afraid of costing money, and turned around and went back to the room.
Uncle Biao and the three of them were all watching from below, and when they saw the guests go back, Xiaowan also went upstairs, she looked calm, and she was also very steady in dealing with the guests just now.
I still remember that last year for Boss Feng to clean up the portal, Ling Chaofeng was taken by the yamen for questioning, Xiaowan was anxious and crying, and ran out early in the morning to find someone, so long has passed in a blink of an eye, the little lady has grown up.
Xiaowan returned to the room, looking at the clock with a resolute expression, and if Ling Chaofeng couldn't return at midnight, she would have to think of turning him back. No one can hurt her husband, even if she risks her life, she has to protect him, not to mention that now, she only needs a small wish.
Sure enough, the new magistrate didn't get the advice of his boss, and he didn't know that Ling Xiao Inn was not easy to mess with, so he called Ling Chaofeng and said that it was too late and didn't want to try the case, so he was detained in the county government prison and wanted to be tried again tomorrow.
In this way, after midnight, Xiaowan couldn't wait for Xianggong to come back.
Although the yamen came countless times, Ling Chaofeng still entered the cell for the first time, but a few of the people in the cell were still the former yacha, knowing that Lord Liang was very polite to Ling Chaofeng in the past, did not embarrass him, and gave him the cleanest place.
Ling Chaofeng sat cross-legged in the cell, closed his eyes and recuperated, thinking about the little evening at home, recalling that she came to Baisha Town to look for him last autumn, a stupid person, and afraid of embarrassing herself, dressed neatly, took small steps, and the road was not good.
For more than half a year, all kinds of interesting things that Xiaowan brought him, Ling Chaofeng smiled unconsciously, and suddenly there was a noise outside the door, only to see Zhixian break in.
He was wearing a bedgown and a cloak, as if he had crawled out of the bed, he didn't even wear a decent piece of clothing, and he seemed to be drunk, his spirit was a little abnormal, and he shouted loudly, asking the jailer to open the cell door and release Ling Chaofeng.
Ling Chaofeng frowned slightly, got up and walked out of the cell, and the county magistrate was half-asleep and waving his hand: "Let's go, you can go." ”
"Yes." Ling Chaofeng didn't say much, and walked out of the cell under the guidance of the jailer, but when he heard the commotion behind him, he looked back, only to see that Lord Zhixian locked himself in the cell and ordered the people outside to lock the door, so frightened that a group of people didn't know what to do.
"Are you crazy?" The jailer beside him muttered softly.
Although he felt strange, Ling Chaofeng didn't want to be nosy, after leaving the yamen, he went to a friend in the town to borrow a horse, passing through Siyun Pavilion, he slowed down slightly, and after taking a deep look at the signboard of Siyun Pavilion, he rode his horse and galloped away.
In the inn, Aunt Zhang could hear the movement of opening the door, came out to look, and saw that it was Xiaowan, still wearing the clothes just now, and she didn't take anything in her hand, so she went out.
Aunt Zhang was just about to step forward to stop her, but Uncle Biao stopped her and said, "You can take a look and talk about it." ”
They came quietly, hid in the door to watch, Xiaowan did not go to the town, she picked up a lantern in front of the door, as if to show her husband the direction, stood on the side of the road with the lantern, and looked at the dark road from a distance.
A quarter of an hour later, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Xiao Wan's heart lifted, and she was gradually able to see the figure clearly, and Ling Chaofeng, who was on the horse, had already seen Xiao Wan clearly in the bright place.
When he was still far away, he saw a little light here, and wondered if it should be Xiaowan, but he didn't expect to get closer, it was really her.
"Xianggong." Xiaowan threw the lantern and ran towards her husband, Ling Chaofeng turned over and got down, and as soon as she stood still, the soft person threw herself into her arms.
He hugged his wife firmly and said angrily, "You've been waiting here? If I don't come back, you're going to stand all night? I'm not telling you not to go downstairs, why are you disobedient. ”
Xiaowan said: "I dreamed that you were coming back, and I just came out." ”
Ling Chaofeng smiled: "Nonsense, you wear this dress when I go out." ”
"I just dreamed about it." Xiao Wan hugged his waist tightly, and a heart finally returned to her stomach.
When they entered the door, Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang had already returned to the backyard, and the couple latched the door together, went to boil hot water together, and washed Ling Chaofeng in the evening.
After cleaning up and lying on the bed, Xiaowan forcibly looked at every inch of Xianggong's body, for fear that he would suffer in the yamen.
"Have you finished reading it, aren't you afraid that I'm cold?" Ling Chaofeng couldn't cry or laugh, he was about to be provoked by this guy, he hugged Xiaowan, lifted the quilt to wrap the two of them, smelled the sweet smell on her body and said, "No one dares to touch me, don't be afraid." ”
"Xianggong, don't report Susu's matter to the official, this Xinzhi County is unreliable, you can't cure the bad guys when you turn around, and it's good to toss Susu for a while." Xiaowan nestled in his arms, and actually said, "Then use the method of the rivers and lakes to solve it with a tooth for a tooth." ”
Ling Chaofeng snorted and gently stroked her body: "Sleep." ”
And said that the next morning, in the inn for several days of the two guests, finally to leave, when they left, Daqing just passed in front of the door, now since they met, rarely have to say hello.
Ling Chaofeng asked him to rest for a long time and go to the town with Uncle Biao to buy a mule, but Daqing said that there were a lot of boats coming and going today, and he could earn a lot of money, so it was a pity to miss it. The people did not force it, saying that they had bought the mules and sent them directly to Baisha Village.
After dawn, Ling Chaofeng sent Xiaowan to visit Su Su, Su Su still looked sad, and when she was sad, she washed her face with tears, which was very pitiful.
Xiaowan heard Aunt Chen say that when Su Su was sent back, although Daqing wrapped Su Su tightly with his clothes, he could peel off those clothes, and almost all of them were stripped off, leaving only a few pieces of cloth hanging on his body.
Although the two brutes didn't have time to go in, but just doing something like this, Xiaowan didn't dare to imagine that if it happened to her, she was afraid that she would commit suicide by throwing herself into the Baisha River.
So I treat Su Su very patiently, I am not in a hurry to get her better, I just want to accompany her every day.
At this time, Ling Chaofeng came in and said to Xiaowan: "I'm going to do a few things, Lord Zhixian lost his mind last night, and he came back to his senses today, I'm afraid he still has to find me to theorize, I'll go and settle him first." Then ......"
Xiaowan looked at Su Su beside her, and silently asked Xianggong with her mouth: "Do you want to go to Siyun Pavilion?" ”
Ling Chaofeng understood and nodded.
Xiao Wan grabbed his arm tightly, and her fingers used enough strength, but Ling Chaofeng disapplievously tapped her forehead with his other hand: "Grab it so hard, don't I hurt?" ”
Xiao Wan's cheeks bulged and he didn't speak.
Ling Chaofeng smiled: "I know what you're thinking, don't you believe her, don't you believe me?" ”
Xiaowan looked at him, let go of his hand, and pretended to be disdainful: "Go, go." ”
Ling Chaofeng said gently: "I'll be back soon, you can accompany Su Su well, don't worry." ”
Xiao Wan sent him outside the hospital gate, and when he came back, he saw Su Su getting out of bed to drink water, Xiao Wan was busy pouring water for her, Su Su smiled: "I'm not sick again, I can do it myself." On the contrary, if you come to accompany me like this, delaying the work in the store, I don't want to go, I can't be good, it's just ...... Just think about it......"
Xiaowan smiled: "You know, we don't have a business, what are you worried about." ”
Su Su smiled bitterly: "That's not good, aren't there still two guests living in the inn?" ”
Xiaowan said: "They left this morning, they are mysterious, they have lived for so long, and they haven't said a few words." She rolled her eyes and asked, "Susu, are you still willing to work in our shop?" ”
Su Su nodded, but when she thought of that path, her heart hung in the air.
Xiaowan saw her thoughts, and said busily: "Xianggong, he and Brother Daqing have agreed, and if you go back to work in the future, I will ask him to send you every morning and pick you up at night, and we will buy him a mule to set a board cart, and you will come on a board cart in the future, and you don't have to walk hard." ”
Su Su looked at Xiao Wan in a daze, Xiao Wan touched her hand and said, "Naturally...... If you don't want to. ”
Su Su asked, "Is he willing?" ”
"Yes, I agreed." Xiaowan said, "Brother Daqing, you are really a very cheerful person. He is very hardworking, let him rest for a long day today, and go to buy mules with Uncle Biao, he said that there is a lot of work at the dock, and it is not good to miss it. ”
Su Su said softly: "I heard my mother say that their family is the poorest in the village. ”
Xiaowan looked at her and asked with a smile, "Are you willing to let him give it to you?" ”
