Beat the gong and shout in his voice that the sky is dry and dry, be careful of the candle.

At the end of the corner alley, a few barking dogs can be heard occasionally.

Song Wan pinched her nose and hid in the straw pile in the corner.

She really couldn't stand the smell of the straw, but if she wandered through the street at this time and was bumped into by a patrolling catcher, it would be troublesome.

Song Wan could only endure the discomfort in her heart and hide here.

She thought that as long as the sky was slightly light and the gates opened, she would be able to find an opportunity to get out.

I don't know how long later, the east turned the white of the fish's belly, and a touch of morning sun sprinkled on the straw pile from the east.

Song Wan cautiously poked her head out, looked around for a while, and came out of it.

Thinking about his current notoriety, he can be described as a household name.

She tore off a sleeve of her coat, covered her head, took out a little powder from her arms, dotted a lot of pockmarks on her face, and finally stained herself with some dirt from the ground, making herself uglier and more ugly.

In this way, Song Wan went to a small and inconspicuous pawnshop near the city gate.

"Boss, help me see, how much are these worth?"

Song Wan stood on tiptoe, put all the valuable items she had left on the high platform of the pawnshop, and quickly lowered her head, for fear that the other party would recognize her.

Fortunately, the pawnshop's cabinet was high, and it was too early, so the guy hadn't woken up much, so he looked at the objects and didn't care too much about people.

"Live or die?"

Song Wan thought that she would never return to this place in her life, and immediately said:

"Die!"

"Okay, then you wait for me to see."

The guy picked up the objects, looked at them one by one, and gave a number.

"One hundred taels."

"Huh?"

Song Wan thought about her two pure gold carved hairpins, as well as a pair of pearl earrings, jade bracelets, and a few waist ornaments inlaid with gemstones.

So much, co-authoring is only worth a hundred taels? You must know that when she bought it at that time, it cost at least five hundred taels!

"Look at it again, it's definitely not going to be just that."

The fellow looked impatiently a few more times, and said:

"Ten taels at most."

"This is a dead deal!"

"Okay, okay, one hundred and twenty taels, one more cent."

Seeing this, Song Wan had no choice but to sign the letter and leave with one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

Later, she went to buy some dry food, prepared some water, and followed the caravan out of the county seat.

And the prefectural order did not learn the news until noon from the guards who delivered the meal.

"What did you say? Song Wan ran away?"

The county commander was stunned for a moment, and then angrily smashed the rice bowl in his hand to the ground.

Looking at the angry county order, the guards quickly knelt down and begged for mercy repeatedly:

"We didn't know that Song Wan had such a skill. The door was usually locked, and she didn't know what she used, so she opened the window and escaped."

The county commander glared at the guards angrily and shouted:

"Come on, drag him out for me and beat him for thirty boards! Another six months' fine!"

After punishing the guards, the county commander dismissed the other attendants and asked the master reproachfully:

"Didn't you ask you to go and get rid of Song Wan at night yesterday? Why did she run away?"

The master immediately said:

"Last night the moonlight was bright, and I went back to check the yellow calendar and found that it was not easy to send a funeral. If I had done it last night, I am afraid that Song Wan's resentment would not be eliminated after her death......

As he spoke, the master looked out of the window where it was raining lightly.

"Furthermore, last night I watched the sky and found that it would rain heavily today and tomorrow. The soil outside the county is relatively loose, and I was worried that the rain would wash it and it might be discovered, so I didn't do it last night."

What the master said is the Tao, which does sound excusable.

But now that Song Wan has run away, and it is estimated that she has escaped far away, this is really irritating for the county order.

"In that case, quickly order someone to chase her, and after catching her, keep her under strict guard, and wait for the county guard to come here to inspect and finish the inspection, and then deal with her."

"Yes, the lowly will send someone to chase after him immediately."

After the master went out and ordered his subordinates to hunt and find Song Wan quickly, he turned back again.

Seeing the anger on the county commander's face, he hurriedly reassured:

"Lord Prefectural Commander, it is imperative that you receive Lord Prefectural Commander well. This Song Wan will definitely not dare to come back after running away for a while, and the result is similar to the result we got from disposing of her, you don't have to worry about it."

The county commander thought about it for a while, and felt that what the master said was not unreasonable.

But Song Wan has not been eliminated for a day, and the hatred in his heart is difficult to eliminate.

"This official knows in his heart that receiving Lord County Guard is the most important thing, and you will be responsible for the arrest of Song Wan. If you catch it, you will be executed on the spot, and don't bring it back."

The county commander waved his hand, and no longer discussed this topic, but instead discussed with the master how to clean up the dust for the county guard.

And at this moment, Ye Zhen and Xie Yunshu also packed their things and came to the carpenter shop in the city.

The two of them briefly cleaned the spare room and laid out the mattress and quilt, which was a brief relief.

It's just that Ye Zhen looked at the room next to him that was still empty, and thought of Zhao Yi in his heart.

"You say, can you leave Xiao Yi alone at home?"

Ye Zhen was still a little worried in his heart, and couldn't help but ask Xie Yunshu.

Xie Yunshu just said lightly:

"If you're worried about him, take him."

With Xie Yunshu's promise, Ye Zhen also had an answer in his heart.

"I'll go find Lin Bin and ask him to take Xiao Yi over."

Thinking about the scene of the three of them living together, the corners of Xie Yunshu's mouth hooked slightly.

A mysterious woman, and a criminal minister, plus a down-and-out clan child, they are really a strange family of three.

Oh no, and the loyal Lin Bin.

Ye Zhen saw him smile and asked strangely:

"What are you laughing at?"

Xie Yunshu shook his head slightly, and said mysteriously:

"Confidentiality."

"You're so weird."

Ye Zhen complained about him, and went to find Lin Bin.

Lin Bin was very fast, and he took Zhao Yi over after a short time.

But when Zhao Yi came over, Ye Zhen found the problem again.

The backyard of the carpenter's shop was a little small for them.

Ye Zhen crossed his waist and stood in the center of the backyard, looking at the side, left and right, and sighed helplessly.

"Xie Yunshu, you said we should buy a house, right?"

"Buying a house?"

These words surprised both Xie Yunshu and Zhao Yi.

"Is it necessary for us to buy a house in the city?"

Xie Yunshu doesn't like to be disturbed very much, so he prefers a clean life in the countryside, and in the face of Ye Zhen's proposal, he said frankly:

"It's going to take some time to get into town, but we can consider buying an extra carriage."

Ye Zhen pulled Xie Yunshu to sit at the small stone table in the backyard, and said seriously:

"Now that we are getting closer and closer to the Fu family, and we are sure to have more business contacts in the future, I think we should move into the city as well. It's not only easier to get in touch, but it's also safer."

Xie Yunshu pondered for a while and asked:

"Is there enough money?"

Seeing this, Ye Zhen knew in his heart that Xie Yunshu had agreed to move into the city.

"Naturally, it's enough, don't worry."

Ye Zhen thought about it for a while, and then went to find Mrs. Wu, and after explaining her intentions, Mrs. Wu immediately responded.

In the afternoon of the same day, Mrs. Wu took Ye Zhen to see the house.

"This one was originally the ancestral home of a wealthy merchant, but

The rich merchant moved his family to the Jiangnan area, and this place was vacated."

"This is the ancestral house of a scholar, and in order to enter Beijing to catch the exam, he sold this house and replaced it."

"This mansion was degraded by a great Confucian, and the county magistrate at that time respected the arrangement he arranged for him."

Listening to Mrs. Wu's head and introducing herself to one house after another, Ye Zhen was really tired.

The two looked at several places, and in the end, Ye Zhen still chose a slightly quieter street in the city and bought a small house with two entrances and two exits.

Soon, the deed was signed.

Mrs. Wu also sent the housekeeper to help Ye Zhen move and clean the new home.

This thing was done vigorously, and the next afternoon, Ye Zhen and Xie Yunshu took Zhao Yi to live in a new house.

Xie Yunshu was still quite satisfied with this new residence, and Ye Zhen didn't want to move with great fanfare, so he didn't inform anyone else about it.

It's just that Ye Zhen doesn't know where Fu Heng got this news.

On the morning of the third day, before Ye Zhen got up from the bed, he heard a knock at the door.

"Xie Yunshu, go and open the door."

Xie Yunshu got up early, and was sitting at the table reading a book at the moment, and he was not annoyed by Ye Zhen's call, he stood up and went to open the door silently.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was Fu Heng.

"Shopkeeper Fu, why are you here? Is it Young Master Fu and Lord County Shou here?"

Xie Yunshu welcomed him in, but when he lowered his head and closed the door, he noticed the gift in his hand.

"What do you mean by that?"

Fu Heng laughed and said:

"I'm here to celebrate the housewarming of the two of you, what about Mrs. Xie?"

Xie Yunshu frowned, and hurriedly said:

"Shopkeeper Fu, you go to the outer hall first and wait for a while, and then I'll call her."

Thinking that Ye Zhen hadn't gotten up yet, Xie Yunshu was also very helpless.

When he returned to the room, he immediately told Ye Zhen that Fu Heng was here, and then turned around and went out to entertain Fu Heng.

After a stick of incense, Ye Zhen finished freshening up and came to the outer hall.

"Shopkeeper Fu, how did you know that we moved?"

Ye Zhen saw that Fu Heng and Xie Yunshu were chatting, so he sat down and asked curiously.

"Naturally, Mrs. Wu told me."

"Ah...... I see."

There were three more black lines on Ye Zhen's forehead.

She had already thought of the picture of Mrs. Wu's big mouth and announcing it to the world.

I'm afraid that now except for Fu Heng, the county order, and the Song family, it is estimated that everyone knows that she has moved.

Sure enough, the master also heard about Ye Zhen's move.

"My lord, I heard that Ye Zhen and Xie Yunshu have moved to the city, and the shopkeeper Fu of Mochiyue Tower has already gone to celebrate, should we also take action?"

The county commander was still worried about the formula, and when he heard the master talk about Ye Zhen, he still had a faint anger.

"What does her move have to do with us? She didn't make a big deal of it, so let's go and have some fun. You really like to be nosy."

Feeling the aggrieved mood of the county order, the master could only act as a peacemaker, and kept persuading:

"My lord, last time Shopkeeper Fu took a special roll call, and Lord County Shou attached great importance to Mrs. Xie. We took the initiative to show favor to Ye Zhen, but in fact, we were also catering to Lord Junshou. Adults can't do things for the sake of will, everything must be about the future."

The future, all day long, is this future.

The county magistrate has been thinking about it these days, and feels that the last time Mochiyuelou went to a banquet to bump into Song Wan and Zhang Xuehai, as well as the cabin in the forest, any evidence of cheating, I am afraid it is not a plan that Mrs. Wu's hot-tempered woman can come up with.

I'm afraid that the mastermind behind the scenes is indeed Ye Zhen.

He has fallen for her, although he knows the truth, but the cruelty of the truth has made him lose face.

I haven't settled accounts with her about this matter, and now I have to take the initiative to please her, how do I think about it reluctantly.
