16, the way back to the hometown, imprisoned and wronged (1)
During the meal, Feng Ziang had already asked the official brother about the origin of the refugees: heavy rain and flash floods in the lower reaches of Yishui for several days, and Yishui burst the embankment, flooding countless villages downstream, leaving the people homeless and displaced, so they had to flee in all directions.
Fengshuang River is in the upper reaches of Yishui, when Fengziang left home, he hadn't heard of heavy rain anywhere, who knew that it was only a few days of hard work, and there was such a serious disaster. The younger siblings at home must have gone to support, and they need to rush back as soon as possible.
Feng Ziang stepped up his journey and rushed to Jiangning Mansion when it was dark. Fengshuang City belongs to Jiangning Mansion, which is less than 100 miles southwest of Jiangning Mansion and can be reached in one day.
Feng Ziang chose an inconspicuous inn near the city gate and stayed there.
Refugees could not enter the city, so they had to gather outside the city and ask passers-by for something to eat. Outside the city, there is a lot of mourning, and the city can still sing and dance, and the lights are bright.
Feng Ziang looked at the crowd of people coming and going on the street, and the face of the little boy always appeared in front of him, black and thin, sometimes smiling, sometimes sad.
Feng Ziang washed up in the room and went to the lobby on the first floor to eat. There were three or three people in the lobby, eating and chatting at the same time.
Feng Ziang picked up a table by the window and sat down, his eyes were bored looking at the street outside the window, while his ears were listening carefully to people's conversations.
Just when Feng Ziang wanted to hear more news, a carriage drove over the street outside the window, and the carriage was engraved with the royal emblem of the capital. The four officials stood by the carriage, looking at their figures and steps, all of them were practitioners.
The carriage came to the front of the inn, Xiao Er greeted him warmly, the coachman drove the carriage to the backyard with the guys, and the four officials walked into the inn with a scolding, and as soon as they came in, they stood at the door and looked at the whole inn, and then reluctantly sat down on the table in the middle of the lobby.
"Bring your best food and drink." shouted to the official who sat at the door.
The shopkeeper agreed with trepidation, and went to the back kitchen to order, and the clever man immediately put the best wine on the table.
The four officials drank and spoke loudly.
"Grandma's, it's a long journey, and my leg is going to be broken."
"Who says it's not, they all say that Jiangnan is rich, and if something happens, we have to rely on our capital."
When people heard this, they all looked at it curiously, could it be that the silver for the imperial court disaster relief had arrived?
Feeling the gaze from all sides, one of them pulled the person who was complaining next to him: "Drink bar, don't talk about it, be careful." ”
The four men stopped talking, and drank and ate in silence.
After dinner, Feng Ziang first went to the backyard to look at his carriage, the carriage was parked in the carport, and the official's carriage arrived later, parked outside Feng Ziang's carriage, with two horses pulling the carriage in the middle. An official was on the car.
The guy was adding fodder to the two horses, and when he saw Feng Ziang coming over, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "What do you have to say from the guest officer?" ”
Feng Ziang looked at the forage, it was all good grass, the amount of the guy added was enough, the service of the inn was still very thoughtful, and even the horses were taken care of very well.
"Little brother bothered." Feng Zi Ang nodded with satisfaction.
When the guest was satisfied, the man was happy, and after adding fodder, he was about to leave, but he accidentally tripped and fell at the foot of the horse, and the horse was frightened and raised its front hooves, and if it fell, it would surely step on the man.
Before he had time to think, Feng Ziang's body had already pounced and dragged the guy out.
The official also pounced and took control of his horse.
The young man was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he couldn't even speak: "Thank you...... Xie ......: "Thank you for a long time and I didn't say a complete sentence.
When the young man eased up, Feng Ziang helped him up from the ground, politely greeted the official, and sent the guy to the lobby on the first floor, and then went to the room on the second floor to rest.
Lying on the bed, thinking about Brother He Ziyang's past, Feng Ziang's face, which rarely smiled, showed a faint joy.
This night, Feng Ziang slept better than ever. In the past fifteen years, Feng Ziang has always dreamed of various situations in the past, either beautiful dreams are shattered by slaughter, or he is running alone in the endless wilderness, avoiding the invisible but ubiquitous enemy, the devil.
This night, Feng Ziang didn't dream, he slept very deeply and soundly, just like when he was a child, he slept next to Ziyang's brother.
The next morning, Feng Ziang was woken up by a violent knock on the door, and the knocking on the door was mixed with the guy's anxious inquiry: "Guest officer, guest officer, are you okay?" ”
Feng Ziang didn't know what was going on in a daze, listening to the guy being so anxious, the door was about to be smashed, he hurriedly grabbed his coat and hurriedly put it on and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, a long sword reached Feng Ziang's throat.
