Chapter 151: Running away in the middle of the night
"The villain understands."
The master picked up the wine glass and said bitterly:
"I'll give you a glass, I'll do it first, you feel free."
With that, he drank the wine down.
Ye Zhen and Xie Yunshu also picked up their wine glasses, but before the wall of the glass touched their lips, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.
The three of them were taken aback, Ye Zhen and Xie Yunshu even maintained the posture of holding up their wine glasses, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the door.
Fortunately, it was Fu Heng, the owner of Mochizuki Tower, who came in.
It's just that Fu Heng was flustered and sweating profusely, he looked out of the door cautiously, and gently closed the door again, and came to the three of them.
"Big news! It's incredible!"
This made all three of them very strange.
Ye Zhen put down the wine glass and said:
"Shopkeeper Fu, calm down, say something slowly."
The master also hurriedly pulled a bench for Shopkeeper Fu to sit down, only to see Shopkeeper Fu panting and saying intermittently:
"I just received news that my young master and his brother-in-law, that is, Lord Jiangnan County, will come to our small county town in three days!"
What!
Fu Ru'an and his uncle are coming?
These words made Ye Zhen surprised and delighted.
On the one hand, Fu Ru'an is coming over, and she still wants to ask how the oyster mushroom is in person, on the other hand, she has always heard that there are two *** in the Fu family, and one of them is going to come with Fu Ru'an, I'm afraid something is going to happen.
Xie Yunshu lowered his brows, unable to see joy or anger.
"Oh my God! Young Master Fu and Master Fu are coming?"
Before Ye Zhen and Xie Yunshu could react in any way, the master was much more surprised than them.
A Fu Ru'an is already delicate and noble, so they and the county order must be respectfully entertained, this time even Fu Ru'an's uncle who is a big official has to come to their small barbarian county together, is this worth it?
If only they could seize this opportunity and get Master Fu's appreciation......
The master swallowed his saliva excitedly.
Fu Heng saw his master's thoughts, and silently arched him with his elbow to signal him to calm down.
The master came back to his senses, realized his gaffe, and laughed twice and bowed to everyone.
"Then why did Young Master Fu and Master Fu come to our institute this time?"
Fu Heng didn't answer immediately, but moved closer to Ye Zhen and Xie Yunshu and stood behind Ye Zhen.
"I'm here to visit Mrs. Xie."
Hearing this answer, Ye Zhen was also stunned.
She glared and slowly turned her head to look at Xie Yunshu, although Xie Yunshu's expression was not as obvious as herself, Ye Zhen could also see from his slightly frowning brows and the trace of surprise that Xie Yunshu was no less surprised than herself.
"This? I'm a woman, how can I afford two adults to make a special visit."
Ye Zhen hurriedly stood up and explained to Fu Heng.
Xie Yunshu also bowed slightly, and said lightly:
"After my wife and I are both criminals, the Fu family really exalts us too much."
"No, no, you're too modest."
Fu Heng hurriedly returned the salute and explained to them:
"I know that the two of you live a little far away, so it's better to stay in my mansion for a few days these days, and wait until Young Master Fu and Master Fu come, so it's okay."
Hearing that he was going to live in the Fu Mansion, Xie Yunshu was a little unhappy.
Although Fu Ru'an helped them a lot, every time he saw Fu Ru'an and Ye Zhen talking, he would always feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't say why.
So he didn't want to live in someone else's house.
And Ye Zhen thought that there were many rules in those high-gate compounds, and he was used to being idle, and he didn't want to be restrained, and he wasn't very happy.
"Shopkeeper Fu, I think it's better to forget about living in Fu's mansion, my husband and I have a carpenter shop in the city, and there is an empty house in it, so let's just live there for a few days."
Xie Yunshu politely refused
Fu Heng, but Fu Heng still tried to persuade him.
"This ...... The two of them are the distinguished guests of my Fu family, and if I live in the carpenter shop and let Young Master Fu see them, I'm afraid they will say that I didn't entertain them well."
Ye Zhen also said at this time:
"It's okay, I'll explain it to him when the time comes, we appreciate Shopkeeper Fu's kindness, but we're not used to it."
Seeing Ye Zhen and Xie Yunshu insisting like this, Fu Heng no longer insisted on it.
"Then I'll go first, so I won't bother the three of you to catch up here."
Fu Heng was walking out, and suddenly remembered something, turned his head and said to his master:
"Master, Lord County Shou values Mrs. Xie very much, and the county government has not gone wrong recently. Otherwise, neither you nor I can afford it."
These words seemed to be unintentional and intentional, which made the master feel that Fu Heng seemed to be warning himself about something.
He thought for a moment and replied:
"I understand."
Immediately, he stood up, saluted Ye Zhen and Xie Yunshu, and said guiltily:
"Xianggong Xie, Mrs. Xie, the county guard's coming to the county is a matter of great importance, I have to go back quickly to report the county order, I have offended a lot today, and I will take my leave."
After speaking, he and Fu Heng left the Moon Tower.
When he returned to the county office, the master immediately reported to the county magistrate what he had seen and heard in Mochizuki Tower today.
Hearing that Ye Zhen decisively rejected his request, as well as the fact that he and Fu Ru'an cooperated in the sugar business, the county magistrate was angry and annoyed.
He still remembered what Zhang Xuehai said before he was knocked unconscious - Ye Zhen was related to the purchase of sugarcane by Moon Tower.
Why didn't he believe what Zhang Xuehai said at that time.
If he had realized this at the time, he would not have cleaned up Zhang Xuehai so hastily.
At least keep Zhang Xuehai alive, and he can still contain Ye Zhen for himself, so as not to let this woman be so presumptuous.
But Zhang Xuehai cheated on his own woman, which is really hateful!
After thinking about it, the county magistrate felt that this was an unsolvable situation.
It can only be said that he underestimated this Ye Zhen!
In just these days, she has been suppressed and controlled by herself at the beginning, and now she is cooperating with Fu Ruan in the sugar business, and then she has completely relied on the big tree of the Fu family.
"Ye Zhen, Ye Zhen, you are really a not simple woman."
The county commander's face was heavy, and he stared gloomily at the master.
"Is there really no way to come up with a recipe?"
The master took a deep breath and said bitterly:
"Your Excellency, don't think about any recipes. The county keeper will be here in three days!"
"Lord Gunjo?"
The county commander blurted out in surprise:
"What is he here for?"
Could it be that he heard about his political achievements and wanted to come to investigate?
Or is the Zhang family making too much trouble, and what is the dissatisfaction with themselves?
In just a few moments, the county magistrate had already guessed a lot in his heart.
But when he heard his master say that the county guard came to visit Ye Zhen this time, his face changed from blue to purple, from purple to white.
What a big joke!
The county guard made a special trip to visit a woman?
The prefectural magistrate sat back in his chair in a daze.
He's completely dead to the recipe now.
If Ye Zhen and the county guard sue, then he really has no hope of promotion in this life.
The momentum of the county order was leaked all of a sudden, he didn't dare to fight with the county guard, just coax it, this breath can only be swallowed in his stomach.
"I said you, when I beat Zhang Xuehai, why didn't you remind me about the brown sugar formula?"
The county order could only spill his anger on the master.
As the saying goes, the official level crushes people to death, and the master has a difficult mouth.
At that time, he was helping Ye Zhen, could it be that he could still let Zhang Xuehai explain clearly?
The master was also a little worried about the county order and realized himself later
quickly changed the topic.
"Lord County Commander, this, the villain is stupid, and I didn't think about it for a while. But now the county guard is coming, and we still have a ...... in our backyard."
gave the master such a reminder, and the county order also remembered.
That's right, I've been busy with the brown sugar recipe for the past few days, so Song Wan hasn't dealt with it yet.
But now that the limelight has passed, if Song Wan is put on trial again, wouldn't it be troublesome for himself.
When the time comes, everyone will laugh at their cuckolds again.
But people can't just lock it up.
The master said again:
"Although this is your family business, after all, the county keeper will be over in a few days. If this reaches the ears of the county keeper, I am worried that it will affect your career."
The county commander thought for a while, and said in a low voice:
"Master, according to the official's opinion, this Song Wan or not?"
The master also nodded and echoed:
"That's what I think. That's?"
Thinking that it would be good to deal with it, and cut the mess quickly so as not to have many dreams at night, the county magistrate waved his hand in disgust:
"Tonight, find a few trustworthy and quick moves, and hurry up."
"Yes."
The master took the order and went down to do things.
Here, the backyard of the county government.
Song Wan saw that there had been no movement on the county order side in the past few days, although she was a little lucky, but she was still more worried.
Could it be that the maid didn't follow her instructions to poison Zhang Xuehai, and the county order has been trying the case of the Zhang family for the past few days?
But Song Wan felt that something was wrong when she thought about it.
The nearest county office is really a little too quiet, if the case is tried, how can she hear some movement.
That is, Zhang Xuehai is dead?
But Zhang Xuehai is dead, there is no proof of death, and his son must be called if he can't see him for so many days, so why doesn't the county order let him out.
She thought that there must be something that was too important for the county order to not dispose of herself for a while.
But today, Song Wan's right eyelid kept jumping, and she always felt like something was about to happen.
After thinking about it, she still felt that the county order would not let her go.
"Little brother, little brother."
Song Wan came to the door and called a few times, and a guard walked over.
"What's the matter with you?"
Song Wanjiao said drippingly:
"I'm thirsty and want to drink. Is that okay?"
"You've got a lot to do."
The guard walked away, and after a while he returned with a bowl of water, opened the door and handed it in.
"Drink it."
Song Wan heard the footsteps outside and walked away, so she used all her strength to smash the porcelain bowl against the wall.
The wall was earthen and there was no sound even if the porcelain bowl was broken.
Song Wan chose the sharpest piece and hid it in her arms and sat back on the bed.
In the past few days, she found that at night, the guards would not be in front of her house, but would check the locks and go back to sleep.
It seems that she is determined that she is a weak woman who is powerless and cannot escape.
It was precisely because of this that Song Wan gritted her teeth and decided that even if she died in the wilderness, she must escape tonight!
At night, hearing the conversation of the guards at the door gradually disappearing, and there was no light shining through the window paper, Song Wan knew that they had gone back to sleep.
After waiting for about half an hour, Song Wan made sure that there was no one outside the house, so she used a porcelain bowl fragment to cut the window paper.
In fact, if she has a hairpin or something in her hand, where does she need to bother with this.
But two days ago, in order to exchange for some good food, she used all the valuable things on her body to bribe the guards, which was really helpless.
It didn't take long for the window paper to be neatly cut.
Song Wan stretched out her hand out of the small window, fumbled for the window bolt, and succeeded with a little effort
Open the window.
But this window is extremely small, and it took Song Wan a lot of effort to break free and climb out.
She couldn't help but sigh with emotion, thanks to her thinness, otherwise she would really be stuck in it and wait until the next day to be discovered.
Right now, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Song Wan held her breath and concentrated, secretly opened the door bolt inside the gate of the county government, and disappeared into the corner of the street in a puff of smoke.
