Chapter 088: Something is wrong
In the dead of night, there are no lights on the long street.
Coming out of the Imperial City Division, Xu Zhou felt that the atmosphere on the street was not in the same tone as on weekdays, and before he had gone far, he could meet an official who was similar to "copying his house". Fortunately, Xu Zhou followed a few people from the Imperial City Division behind him and escorted him back all the way, otherwise, Xu Zhou really didn't know if he was alive or not, and whether he could return to Qingshui Street alive.
"Ladies and gentlemen, can people who left the city earlier still enter the city?" Xu Zhou talked a lot and asked a few people behind him.
One person stepped forward half a step forward and arched his hand: "Now that the gate of the Sifang City is closed, naturally it can't." It was okay a few days ago, but in recent days, the imperial court has issued a new decree, and the street investigation has become stricter these days, and no matter whether it is out of the city or into the city, it is not allowed to go. ”
After hearing this, Xu Zhou's face showed a little worry...... I don't know if Yun Niang, who went home to save her relatives, can come back? Will it be stopped in the middle of the road?
Now, the gate of the Quartet has been sealed, and I don't know what to do if Yun Niang is sealed to the countryside and can't come back.
"And how long is this going to last?" Xu Zhou asked again.
The man thought for a moment and said, "It can be as short as ten days and half a month, or as much as a month." ”
Xu Zhou nodded, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.
A month, that's too long, right?
Unconsciously, everyone arrived at Qingshui Street, Xu's wine shop.
Xu Zhou waved his hand, thanked a few people, and invited them to eat and drink another day.
These are all subordinates of Brother Zhu of Xuanwutang, but they are not like the palace guards under Xu Shouren, all of them are coaxing, and their eyes are all up to the sky.
"Then, my lord, please."
Several people clasped their fists and returned the same way.
Standing at the corner of the street, Xu Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief.
Qingshui Street, under the illumination of the moonlight, the road surface seems to be potholes, and there is not a pedestrian on the road, but a few zhang away there is a lantern to search the official office, and it is still the government of Ping'an County.
If you look at it again, it is still Guan Zhong who takes the lead.
If you look at it again, He Bao, who has just been elected as a fast hand, is mixed in it,
There is such a coincidence in this world.
He Bao had long noticed that there was a person standing in front of the Xu family's wine shop, with a majestic figure and a beautiful appearance, which was rare...... A beautiful man, isn't he his dearest big brother Xu Zhou?
But because the search of the household in front of him has not been completed, He Bao is not good at coming forward to say hello.
After a while, everyone went out, and the door of the house that was searched quickly closed and went to sleep.
Guan Zhong led He Bao to Xu Zhou, and asked the other officials to search other houses, this one was facing the street, and the two of them could just search it.
"Let's go and search." Several officials knocked on the door of Xu Zhou's neighbor's house like a drum.
After a few people entered the courtyard, He Baocai changed the serious expression on his face, stepped forward with a smile, and circled around Xu Zhou a few times, and found that Xu Zhou was not much of a big deal, so he let go of a worried heart in the past few days.
"Big brother, it's good that you're okay, I'm worried about it these days." He Bao came forward.
Xu Zhou was seriously injured by the people in the Demon Sect, and was carried back by the people of the Imperial City Division for treatment, and Pang Hu's jailers all said that Xu Zhou was forced to stop cooking.
said that the people didn't move when they were carried away, and He Bao thought that Xu Zhou had really suffered a big disaster.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not very good......" Xu Zhou smiled.
It's just that he folded an arm, specifically a wrist, but it has been picked up, and seeing that He Bao has changed a lot now, compared to when he was a jailer before, it was completely two people, and he was happy for him for a while.
"You kid, you're doing a good job now, you've got all the knives!"
He Bao scratched his head: "No, it was thanks to the encouragement of the eldest brother." ”
When He Bao saw the county government Kuaishou campaign, he actually didn't have a bottom in his heart, and he was about to give up, but fortunately, with Xu Zhou's encouragement around him, he had the mentality of giving it a try.
Unexpectedly, he was really chosen for this trip.
Now he is assigned to Guan Zhong and is a small follower...... In the past few days, he still has to find a way to let Guan Zhong take him as an apprentice, so that he can break through in the business of catching fast.
The two brothers with different surnames were there to greet each other, and they were homely, so that Guan Zhong was not good at interjecting, and it was not good if he didn't interject.
In the end, Xu Zhou's eyes were sharp, and he folded an arm to say hello to his fists: "The kid has seen Guan Zhutou, and Uncle Chen mentioned to me a few days ago that Uncle Guan was here, saying that they would eat and drink together another day...... Coincidentally, isn't He Bao going to marry a daughter-in-law next month? Uncle Guan wants to have a face. ”
Xu Zhou stabbed He Bao beside him with his elbow.
He Bao immediately understood, and was seeing that he couldn't get closer to Guan Zhutou, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Guan Zhutou must come when the time comes." ”
Guan Zhong was holding his knife beside him, his posture was straight, watching these two hairy boys play double reeds here.
But I have to say that the kid surnamed Xu seems to be quite good at being a person.
The two of them haven't seen each other a few times, and they have changed their names to uncles, unlike He Hanhan, who is still called head catcher here?
"Okay, okay, let's see." Guan Zhong has the arrogance of catching heads, and he has no time to interfere with the jailers and the little fast hand here.
He pointed to the Xu family's old mansion and ordered Xu Zhou to open it quickly and accept his inspection.
There was a death order from above, no matter who the house is, all must be opened for inspection, without exception.
"No, Uncle Guan, I didn't bring the key." Xu Zhou shrugged his shoulders, a little helpless.
On weekdays, Yun Niang is at home, and she will wait for him to be on duty every night, and Xu Zhou never brings the key when he goes out.
"Big brother, isn't my sister-in-law at home......"
After He Baozui said this, Xu Zhou was very surprised, his two eyebrows flew high, and he hurriedly asked, "What did you say, Yun Niang is back?" ”
He Bao nodded: "Yes, the day before yesterday, we came to search, and it was my sister-in-law who opened the door for me." ”
Wonderful!
Xu Zhou immediately turned around and knocked on the door: "Yun Niang, I'm back." ”
"Knock knock!"
The courtyard door of the Xu family was knocked by Xu Zhou, and after a while, the courtyard door creaked open from the inside.
Lu Yun, the little woman who had not seen her for many days, was wearing coarse cloth clothes on weekdays, lighting lanterns, rubbing her eyes and opening the courtyard door.
When he opened the door and saw Xu Zhou standing at the door, Lu Yun was a little surprised, but he still looked at the two officials: "Two masters, come in and search." ”
Guan Zhong nodded, and took He Bao into the courtyard to perform official duties.
Xu Zhou and Lu Yun followed behind, and the smile on Xu Zhou's face couldn't be stopped.
In his life, he has become accustomed to having a little woman waiting for him at home every day, and the two of them talk about common things from time to time and talk about sao...... In the days when Lu Yun went back to her parents' home to save her relatives, not to mention, Xu Zhou's heart was empty, sometimes, he had to skip work at noon to come back to take a special look, and see if Lu Yun came back.
"Yun Niang, when did you come back? I thought you were going to be locked up in the countryside and couldn't come back? Xu Zhou subconsciously wrapped his arm around Lu Yun's waist, and at this touch, he felt that Lu Yun seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
There is also the vest line, which is hard.
Lu Yun's face was a little uncomfortable, and there was some prevarication, she hooked the ends of her hair next to her ears with her hand, and hesitated: "No, no, I came back a long time ago, but my husband happened to go out when I came back." ”
Xu Zhou squinted, raised the back of his hand and touched Lu Yun's forehead: "Yun Niang, what's wrong with you?" Isn't your body feeling well? ”
"Ah...... Nothing, maybe a little tired. Lu Yun broke free from Xu Zhou's embrace, followed behind Guan Zhutou, and accompanied him to see the situation in the yard.
Xu Zhou stood in place, confused for a while, confused and home.
This Yun Niang in front of you...... Not quite right.
Glancing at Lu Yun's figure from behind him, Xu Zhou frowned.
Why hasn't I seen it for a few days, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight, and it seems that he has become taller?
In the past, Lu Yun's body was shaped like a gourd, convex and backward, very plump...... Now this one is like a bamboo pole, it has no characteristics, but the legs are extraordinarily long and very straight.
It's kind of like ......
