Yun Qian was surprised: "Didn't the county guard go to clear the mountain bandits?" ”

Uncle Lu Shi saw that there was no one outside the house and covered the door: "There were many people who responded before. The garrison is open, and there are county guards and relatives, so they should be wiped out. In the early morning of the third day of departure, Taishou died inexplicably, and the soldiers and civilians dispersed, and the result was over. Although there will be new people in the future, it is still unknown whether they will send troops again. You are a little involved in this matter, so don't make a noise about it, so as not to spread it out and cause trouble. ”

Yun Qian knew the severity and solemnly agreed.

Lu Ju was still uneasy, and admonished: "Recently, I have been going back to Yayuan less, I heard that some cross-dressing people come and go, and they are okay in normal times, but now it is better to be careful." ”

Yun Qian immediately remembered the evil cultivator in the mountain, and he didn't know if it was related, and after promising Uncle Shi, he walked out with a heavy heart. This matter was unexpected, but Uncle Lu Shi had already thought it through, and Yun Qian could follow it, but he still reminded Dou Ping in private.

For some reason, the arrival of the county guard was more than half a month later than usual, and as soon as he took office, he sent additional officers and soldiers to guard the city gate and check the merchants and visitors.

On this day, Yun Qian and Dou Ping were shopping for refreshments on Taichi Street, and found that a large group of pedestrians had gathered in the north of the street, and the two who liked to join in the fun surrounded them together. Dou Ping was clever, and with the help of the two of them, they led Yun Qian to squeeze around to the front row.

A large piece of the wall where the revelation of the copy of the mansion was posted was emptied, and a wanted notice was posted in the middle: Reward for arrest (Yin Che), the suspect stole the official mansion, robbed the young son, in order to protect the longevity of the people, a reward of 300 taels of silver is now offered, and the person who recovers the stolen goods will be rewarded. The lower left is stamped with the seal of Lushou City, and a portrait of a middle-aged man is painted next to it, with notes on physical features.

Lu Shoucheng has a precedent of Zhang Bang's arrest, Yun Qian has only heard it, and this time he can see it with his own eyes. After reading the description in detail and detail, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, compared the brief description of the picture back and forth, and was startled, and secretly pulled the sleeve of Dou Ping's shirt, signaling him to leave quickly.

Dou Ping was inquiring about the situation with the person next to him, and turned around and asked the reason in a low voice. Yun Qian said uneasily in his ear: "Go back to the pawnshop first, things are not right." ”

The two who sneaked out did not attract the attention of the officers and soldiers of the guard. On the way, Yun Qian became more and more anxious, and Dou Ping asked, but Yun Qian only said that he would go back to the pawnshop first.

When he got to the door, Yun Qian directly pulled him to the study. Seeing the two of them panicking, the shopkeeper Lu wondered, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Yun Qian gently closed the door: "Uncle Lu Shi, the hero is wanted by the official government." ”

The shopkeeper and Dou Ping were both shocked, and Dou Ping asked, "Is the hero who saved you on the portrait?" ”

Yun Qian was very sure: "None of you have ever seen it, but I have been with the hero for two days, how can I not recognize it." What's more, the word sword box is clearly written on it, and it is definitely a hero. ”

The shopkeeper asked: "When did it happen, did you write the reason?" ”

Dou Ping replied: "This morning, when Xiaoqian and I went to Taichi Street, we saw the list of articles, and I heard that they claimed to be foreign bandits, stole the treasures of the government, and killed a lot of people. ”

Yun Qian was in a hurry: "What nonsense, the sword box is obviously a hero's, how can you blame him." ”

Dou Ping shouted: "What they said, I inquired." ”

The shopkeeper temporarily stabilized the two of them: "This matter, don't make any more noise, I ......"

Suddenly, the door opened, and Du Chonghua rushed in with tears on his face: "Master, please let Chongshan go." ”

The shopkeeper didn't understand, and wanted to help his wife up, but she knelt and begged: "The master, you beat and beaten, and the punishment was punished, Chongshan is now crippled in his legs, and he has already known his mistake, why do you want to kidnap him." ”

The shopkeeper didn't want Dou to comment on Yun Qian's ugliness, so he let them go out first, but Du Chonghua hugged Yun Qian violently and begged: "Child, it was ours before, let you be wronged, so I will give you all the jewelry, gold and silver, please let Chongshan go." He made mistakes, and I was the one who took care of them. You don't want to kill him. ”

Yun Qian was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, and he hurriedly avoided kneeling and bowing, and knelt on the ground himself. The bean comment on the side noticed that something was wrong, and quietly retreated to the side, not daring to make a sound.

The shopkeeper of Lu turned pale: "Chonghua, what nonsense are you talking about, Chongshan was taken away, what does it have to do with me and Yun Qian." Explain clearly, otherwise, the family law will serve. ”

Du Chonghua suddenly screamed madly: "Lu Ju, you still dare to say that it has nothing to do with him, if he didn't come to our house, how could Chongshan be broken by you, if it wasn't for his revenge, how could someone kidnap Chongshan who was already crippled." ”

Lu Ju looked at his wife's incoherent and crazy appearance, and he was speechless for a while.

Du Chonghua clung to the placket of Lu Ju and Yun Qian's clothes, and scolding madly with mourning, which was so sad that it made people palpitate.

Lu Ju felt sorry for his wife, wiped her tears and said softly: "My husband won't lie to you, and I can't lie to you, tell me what happened, okay?" ”

Looking at the calendar, a word of pouring, like a flood bell, like a spring sun, made the angry Du Chonghua gradually calm down, sobbing and pleading: "Last night, I was helping Chongshan change the medicine, and suddenly two black-clothed people broke in, and rushed to Chongshan without saying anything. I stopped, they knocked me out, after waking up, Chongshan is gone, I came back to you overnight, if it is late, Chongshan is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed. ”

"What marks did they leave or what did they say?" Uncle Lu Shi asked, leading her thoughts.

Du Chonghua shook his head: "They rushed in last night and robbed people, and they didn't say anything." ”

Lu Ju helped his wife to sit up, and while comforting, he thought: "Don't worry, since they kidnapped him and didn't kill him, it means that they have another purpose." The kidnapping is nothing more than two things, one is to hold some money, and the other is to get some news, but they didn't leave a word, and I haven't received any coercion until this time, presumably not for money, if you say a set of news... Xiaoqian, who did you tell about the robbery? ”

Yun Qian hurriedly replied: "When I went home, I told my father and mother, and the only ones left were you, my aunt, and Dou Ping." ”

Dou Ping was startled and hurriedly waved his hand.

Lu Ju nodded: "The people in the house will not act like this, let alone the brother and sister-in-law." can easily knock Chonghua unconscious, he must be a person who practices martial arts. Xiaodouzi, you go and call the court, and the other fifty taels of silver will go to the desert to ask, give them thirty taels, and you can keep the rest for yourself, be smart, and come back to me to make up for it. ”

Then he comforted his wife softly and slowly: "Chonghua, I'm here, don't be afraid." You wash your face first, rest, and I'll let you know as soon as the news comes in. ”

Du Chonghua was uneasy: "I'm panicking, just wait here." ”

Shopkeeper Lu sighed and said to Yun Qian: "Xiaoqian, you go and get a basin of water for your aunt, and I will help her wipe her face." ”

Yun Qian got up and went out with Dou Ping. Outside the door, Yun Qian asked Dou Ping: "What is the barren stack for?" ”

Dou Ping lowered his voice and told Yun Qian: "Those who sell news are mixed, and it's not a good place." If you don't mention this name much in the future, it's easy to get into trouble. ”

Yun Qian nodded secretly, told him to be careful, and carried a bucket and a towel to fetch water for his aunt. The panicked morning calmed down a little. However, as the sun passed, two officials dressed in green clothes and carrying swords at their waists suddenly walked into the main hall. The guy hurriedly greeted him: "Two officials, come here, what can we do to serve our store?" ”

One of the officials glanced at the main hall with cold eyes: "Do you have an apprentice named Yun Qian, tell him to come out, and the county guard will ask him a few words." ”

At this time, Yun Qian was sorting out the materials behind the stage, because the table was higher, he was not seen by the officials, and he heard someone call his name and wanted to probe to check, but he was stopped by Chao Feng and asked him to sneak out of the back door to find the shopkeeper first, and not to show up.

Yun Qian didn't dare to hesitate, and ran to the study with his body down: "Uncle Lu Shi, two officials came to the door, saying that the county guard wanted to ask me for questions." ”

The shopkeeper panicked, got up and ordered Yun Qian: "You stay here, don't go out, I'll go see what's going on." ”

The guy who was questioned gave Chao Feng a look, and when he saw that Chao Feng hinted at delay, he asked: "I don't know what do you want to ask about this child?" He's a child who doesn't know anything, don't offend the master, or I'll call the shopkeeper to greet the two. ”

The official swung his scabbard and was very impatient: "We just have to handle the case, ask so much what are you doing, and tell me who Yunqian is." ”

When the guy was hesitating, the shopkeeper Lu hurriedly greeted him: "Two officials, I don't know why the two of you came to our store?" ”

The leading official has seen it a few times, and his tone is relaxed: "The shopkeeper of Lu, the two of us are ordered by the county guard to come and bring an apprentice named Yun Qian over to ask a few words, and the shopkeeper will help bring it out, so we can go back and hand it over." ”

The shopkeeper questioned: "It is a major matter for Lushou City to be able to have Lord County Shou personally summon the interrogation, but as far as I know, this elementary school apprentice in my family is honest and has been working in the shop, are you looking for the wrong person." ”

The prevarication on the scene, the official has seen a lot, and he did not let it go: "Our brother has been on an errand for more than ten years, he will not find mistakes, and quickly bring people out, if you miss the county guard, you can't afford it." ”

The shopkeeper didn't even dare to say that he was not there, but they searched by force, pushed and shoved, and even found Yun Qian, which was unfavorable to him. can only beckon someone to call Yun Qian over, and when the official wants to take Yun Qian away, the shopkeeper of Lu stopped him and said: "The official is slow, the county guard inquires, we dare not hide and deceive." But my apprentice is only nine years old, and my mind is still lacking, and my reputation is at stake, so I, as an elder, naturally have to take care of one or two, and must accompany them, so don't be surprised. ”

After all, they had dealt with each other, and the two officials felt that it was harmless, so they agreed.

Guarding the anxious Yun Qian all the way, until the main hall of the mansion, the shopkeeper found that there was no soap class arrangement, and his heart was a little relieved. When the master saw that the official brought someone over, he asked a question, and then ordered Yun Qian to be sent to the second hall, and Uncle Lu Shishu asked loudly: "My lord, if it is just an ordinary inquiry, it should be tried in the main hall and made public to the people, why do you have to go to the second hall for a private trial." My apprentice is only nine years old, and if I talk nonsense out of fear, I am afraid that I will only mislead the adult in handling the case. ”

The master waved the fan in his hand: "My lord is handling the case, how can you let you put your beak and blast him out." ”

Yun Qian was about to be forcibly taken away, and the shopkeeper was in a hurry, seeing that the official had pushed over, he shouted loudly: "My lord, according to the law, if a child under the age of nine commits a crime, the most serious one will be fined some money, and if the adult lynchs without permission, I will definitely report it to the state capital." ”

Although this statement was said to the master, it was also to reassure Yun Qian, not to be pressured and frightened. Yun Qian tried to calm himself down, and silently followed his master to the back hall.
