Chapter 178: Buying Officials
It was dim, and she couldn't tell the difference between day and night, and the only light she had was saw was the scene she remembered, and nothing else.
There was another cry in his ears, accompanied by a roar of pain.
The voice was very familiar, Shen Qing's spirit couldn't help but be shocked, she rushed to the cell door, her hands clenched the wooden fence, lying on her stomach and shouting in the direction of the sound: "Brother Mu...... Brother Mu, is that you? ”
She was about to shout a third time, when a jailer appeared out of nowhere, and without saying a word, struck her hand with the long club in his hand that was holding the fence.
Ten fingers connected to the heart, Shen Qing gasped, and when he let go of his hand, he only felt that these five fingers did not belong to him.
The jailer pointed at her viciously and scolded, "Don't scream anymore, it's not a stick to scream again." ”
After receiving the lesson, Shen Qing naturally didn't dare to make trouble anymore, she retreated back to her place step by step, and when she sat down, a hand reached over and grabbed her arm.
She turned around and saw that the female prisoner next to her was grinning at her, and with just one look at that smile, Shen Qing could already judge that this person's brain was no longer normal.......
Shen Qing gently brushed her hand away and closed her eyes weakly.
She didn't know, where was Mu Xiu locked up? Don't know what you're going to face?
The unknown of all this made her confused and frightened.
She was afraid, afraid that she would be locked up in this prison camp forever, until she became stupid and stupid like the woman next to her, and she didn't even know who she was......

Lu Huijuan hid behind a tree, and looked at the door of the yamen from time to time, very anxious.
The guards in front of the yamen saw that she was acting suspiciously and came forward to interrogate her.
She said hesitantly: "My man entered the yamen to do business, and he was just waiting here. ”
"Wait for someone, wait for someone, make a sneaky ......," the guard said a few words of dissatisfaction, and then went back to stand guard.
This time, Lu Huijuan didn't dare to hide behind the trunk of the tree anymore, and under the watchful eye of the guard, she trotted to the teahouse opposite the yamen and sat down, spent a little money, and asked for a pot of tea.
As soon as the shopkeeper brought the tea, she saw Zhang Mingxin walking out of the small door of the yamen, and she was so happy that she couldn't even drink the tea, so she rushed out quickly and pulled the person to the side of the road.
She looked at Zhang Mingxin's whole body and asked, "What about the reward?" ”
"Here," Zhang Mingxin handed her a money bag.
She took it in her hand and checked it, and asked with a puzzled face, "That's just three hundred taels?" ”
Zhang Mingxin hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, it's only thirty taels." ”
"What about the rest of the silver taels, and the ten stone rice?"
"The official said that there is a shortage of food in the city now, and that he will first owe the debt, and then he will collect it later. Also, the official who paid me the money told me that I could exchange the bounty for an official, and I agreed. So there are only thirty taels in hand. ”
"What?" Lu Huijuan screamed: "You spent more than 200 taels of silver to buy an official?" ”
Seeing her reaction, Zhang Mingxin scratched his head in confusion: "Isn't it good?" Aren't you the wife of a rare official? ”
"What kind of official's wife, you elm head, you don't look at the current situation, the war is in chaos in front of you, who wants to be the official of Naraush?"
She thrashed the other party as she spoke:
"You didn't see Mu Xiu who was sent to prison by you, a few days ago, he was still a big celebrity in front of the vassal king Li Chang, and this will be a prisoner in a blink of an eye. Now there is nothing more reliable in this world than real money. Ouch, why did I meet such a stupid pig as you, my life is really miserable......"
Seeing that she was so anxious that she jumped to her feet on the spot, Zhang Mingxin immediately said: "Don't worry, if you don't want to, I'll go back and tell him now that if we don't change it, we will ask for silver." ”
"Then you're going to go, what are you doing in a daze?"
Lu Huijuan angrily snatched the thirty taels of silver and urged him to hurry up.
Zhang Mingxin turned around and walked into the yamen quickly, but he didn't have much effort before he came out dejectedly.
"How? Did you get the money back? "Lu Huijuan wants money.
saw him shake his head: "The official said that I have already drawn a pledge, and I can't get the money back." ”
"What ......"
Hearing this, Lu Huijuan suddenly became angry, she stepped forward and grabbed the man's shirt heartbreakingly, and shouted: "My silver...... You pay me back the money......"
Before he finished speaking, he kicked his legs, rolled his eyes, and passed out......
——
A carriage stopped at the west gate of Yeyun Courtyard, and Steward Guo, who was waiting in front of the door, saw this and hurried up to meet it.
said to the people in the carriage: "Miss, Yeyun Courtyard has arrived." ”
Hearing this, Yahuan Cui'er took the lead in lifting the curtain of the car, she got down from the carriage, glanced at the gate in front of her, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, the wall of this Yeyun Courtyard is so high......"
As she spoke, she turned around and helped Hao Guanhua get off the carriage, Hao Guanhua glanced at the towering building in front of her, and her heart was very heavy.
Steward Guo on the side said: "This is only the West Gate, and the South Gate is even more spectacular." As he spoke, he led the two of them into through the west gate.
Along the way, Cui'er saw the carved fences and jade buildings in this courtyard, and she couldn't help but sigh......
"Is this a mansion or a palace, it's too luxurious, isn't it?"
Hao Guanhua felt that she was rare and strange, and couldn't help but say: "This Yeyun Courtyard was originally Li Chang's property, and it was the largest mansion in the entire Cangcheng. ”
Steward Guo, who led the way in front of him, nodded: "What the eldest lady said is that otherwise, King Ling would not have chosen this place to settle down." ”
While talking, the three of them saw that there were many sentry posts, and there were soldiers lined up on foot in the distance, so they couldn't help but quickly silence them.
Steward Guo led the master and servant into a side room, let the two change into a set of subordinate clothes, and then led the two to a courtyard.
Each handed the two of them a broom, and told the two of them: "Every day the king of the tomb will come here to practice the sword, the young lady is only waiting here, naturally you can see people, remember that your identity is a miscellaneous girl, not to be unnecessary." ”
After the explanation, Manager Guo left in a hurry.
The master and servant pretended to sweep the ground under the shade of the tree, and Yahuan Cui'er thought it was funny, so she couldn't help but look at Hao Guanhua and asked, "Miss, what do you guess this Ling King looks like?" ”
Hao Guanhua lowered his eyes and said uncertainly: "My mother said that he is good-looking and talented. ”
Hearing this, Cui'er's face was full of doubts: "Is it?" How did I hear that he looks like that Zhang Yiheng, with a leopard's head and eyes, and a swallow's jaw and tiger whiskers. ”
Hearing this, Hao Guanhua shook his hand and reproached: "Have you seen it?" People say the same thing. ”
