Chapter 382: Rescued
As soon as it was dawn, they pushed and shoved the gates to get out, and the guards held their posts and guarded the gates, and those who refused to listen to the dissuasion and insisted on trespassing were violently treated.
It wasn't until the will of Lord Geng came from behind that the city gate was opened, and as long as the people who were interrogated and had no problems could leave.
Lao Li wandered at the gate of the city early in the morning, and the old man was gracious, released his deed, and let him go back to his hometown, but he was delayed for a whole day because of the jade pendant.
He stole the young master's jade pendant yesterday and wanted to smuggle it out of Chunfeng Town, but he never expected that the city gate would be closed, and the government would attach so much importance to this matter.
There was a long queue at the gate of the city, and the villagers were checked one by one, and after passing, they were allowed to pass, and Lao Li looked at the street unwillingly.
If he can take out that piece of jade and pawn it, he won't have to worry about the money he marries his daughter-in-law.
On the lively street, the sun was shining, and with a casual glance, Lao Li's eyes flashed, and his greedy gaze instantly fell on the slowly coming carriage.
"That carriage is ......" The government did not announce to the public that Yu Pei had been found, and the search lasted almost until midnight, and there was no result.
I ordered the city gate to be opened this morning, but I think it can't suppress the excitement of the people, and if I don't open the door again, sooner or later the door will be broken.
Watching the carriage walk towards the line in front, Lao Li jumped down the steps, followed, and lined up safely.
The guards at the city gate checked one by one, and when they arrived at Lu Tianhui's carriage, everyone looked around the inside and outside of the vehicle, but they didn't look at the roof.
"Well, let's go."
Lu Tianhui smiled, pulled the reins, and drove out of town.
Lao Li behind him was very shocked, Yu Pei was thrown on the roof of the carriage by him, and the guards didn't check it out, in a sense, Yu Pei was taken out of the town safely by them and would not be checked again.
"This is not Lao Li." When it was his turn, the guards recognized him and made a few jokes.
Lao Li smiled, but his eyes were always fixed on the direction in which the carriage was leaving.
"I heard that Master Tang let you go back to your hometown, what a blessing."
1. The official has won the award.
After a brief pleasantry, the guards inspected the gadgets and let him go.
Lu Tianhui drove the carriage and turned into the small road into the village and walked onto the official road, which was almost empty, very spacious, and convenient for the people of the government to ambush.
Lifting the curtains, Su Qingyan looked outside nervously, they didn't know Lao Li, and they didn't know if the method just now was successful.
Suddenly, a shout came from behind.
"Hey! Carriage ahead, please wait! ”
Lu Tianhui immediately grabbed the reins and asked the horse to stop, and Lao Li ran behind him panting and sweating profusely.
"What's the matter?" Lu Tianhui bowed his head and said lightly.
Looking up at the roof of the car, Lao Li was extremely happy in his heart: "I'm really sorry, when your carriage passed through the street just now, I was standing on a tall building and accidentally dropped something on the roof of your car, can you let me look at the roof of the car and take it back." ”
Sure enough, I took the bait.
Lu Tianhui pretended to go up to the roof of the car: "What is it, is it valuable?" ”
Lao Li grabbed him in a panic, greeted the sun, and said with a smile: "It's not a valuable, it's just a little private belonging, which just happened to fall here." ”
"Oh, that's fine, find it yourself."
After speaking, Lao Li immediately climbed into the carriage, and as soon as he exposed his head, he saw that in the center of the roof of the car, a piece of jade Pei'an was lying on it safely.
Sure enough, it's here!
Lao Li grabbed the jade pendant and jumped out of the car, and thanked Lu Tianhui: "Thank you, thank you, the thing has been found, I'll leave first." ”
The cool breeze was blowing, the ambush was at the last moment, the officials showed up one after another, surrounding the road, Lao Li paused, and looked at the crowd in disbelief.
"Okay, it's really you!" Geng Da is full of popularity, and a group of people surrounded Lao Li Tuantuan and could be detained.
"Master Geng, what are you going to do?"
"What are you doing, you steal Tang Yuangongzi's jade pendant, you are really bold!"
The jade pendant was taken back by Lord Geng, but Lao Li tried his best to justify: "Lord Geng, this jade pendant was found on the roof of the car by a small one, not stolen by me." ”
"Hmph, don't try to quibble, if you didn't steal it, how would you know that the jade pendant was put on the roof of the car, which caused the official to be busy all day, that is, you stole something, and when you saw the city gate closed, you were afraid that it would be searched, so you threw it on the roof of the car! Today, I saw that the carriage had evaded the search, and I wanted to take it for myself, what a black heart. ”
Lao Li couldn't believe it: "You guys, it turns out that you have already found the jade pendant and opened the city gate, did you deliberately lure me to the bait?" ”
Lord Geng slapped him directly on the head, and reprimanded him harshly: "You dare to speak wildly, now that you have obtained the stolen goods, Master Tang kindly let you go home, you actually covet Tang Gongzi's jade pendant, it's really fatal!" ”
"Someone! Bring this thief back and hand it over to Master Tang to dispose of. ”
This move was like a landslide, Lao Li wanted to defend twice, but his mouth was blocked by the official in the next second.
The thief has been caught, and the jade pendant is about to be returned to its original owner, so Su Qingyan's planning is not in vain.
"Thank you, general, princess for helping, otherwise, this hall will never be caught."
Before leaving, Lord Geng didn't forget to pat his ass.
Su Qingyan and Yan Yuese nodded, and said two words: "Since the people have been caught, Chunfeng Town will have nothing to do with us." ”
Lord Geng smiled, as soon as these two big men left, the unpleasantness that happened before would be written off.
"The general and the princess walked slowly, along the official road in front of them, it is the next town, if there is any need, bring someone to pass the word, and the lower official will do his best."
If you don't try your best, that's another story.
Lu Tianhui raised his horsewhip, the wheels turned, and the morning road was slightly wet with a hint of coolness.
Lu Tianhui sat on the rickety front seat and muttered complainingly: "What kind of messy and broken things, we have to deal with it." ”
There was a snickering behind him, Su Qingyan showed his head, and said idly: "Isn't it just a delay of one more night, it's not a big deal." ”
Lu Tianhui pursed his lips, still not very happy.
"We've only been gone for a few days, and we're kidnappers and thieves, we're here to play, not Qincha."
"That's what I say, but I can't sit idly by when I encounter it." Su Qingyan said lightly, "It can only be said that there are more restless people in this world, not necessarily every bad guy can be caught, but as long as there is an opportunity, we must try our best to catch it." ”
Su Qingyan opened the curtain of the door and sat down at the front, on par with Lu Tianhui: "The Lu couple who were dealt with in Beiyang City last time, if it weren't for us, those children wouldn't know how long they would have been enslaved. ”
Lu Tianhui smacked his lips, he didn't feel that these things shouldn't be handled, or they were not handled well, but there was a problem with his own opening, which made Su Qingyan misunderstand.
"I know, these are all good things, but these things are not your responsibility and mine, local officials should govern their own towns, and I will personally report these situations to Tianming after we return to Beijing."
The two walked and stopped along the way, playing and hurrying at the same time, and it took nearly a month to reach Chuanling Town.
After a few years of recovery, the small town has eased up, and walking down the streets, you can occasionally see pedestrians and vendors' stalls hawking in the streets.
"It's a pity that it's still not as lively as before." Su Qingyan couldn't help but sigh.
