Drunken Flower Building, Warm Fragrance Pavilion.

Miao Shudie sat on the side of the warm table in the main hall of the pavilion, and there was a delicate pestle on the small pear blossom case placed horizontally in front of her, and there was an equally delicate copper mortar pestle next to the pestle, and the pestle was empty, and the oil paper bag that was originally wrapped in dry medicinal materials had been opened, and it was also empty.

A delicate woman wearing a goose yellow elegant long dress is folding a medicine bag with the length of her middle finger in front of the case.

The medicine bag in the woman's hand seemed to be the last one, and after folding a beautiful symmetrical arc, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked up at the window and stretched, the soft light shining through the window on the woman's cheek. She squinted, subconsciously reached out and rubbed it, and when she opened her eyes, it turned out that it was already night when the moon was about to rise.

Miao Shudi frowned, looking a little worried, but now the entire Zuihualou knows that she is a patient, and it is precisely because of this that Mama Hua deliberately came to condole three times and twice, the little girl Cuiyu had been instructed by Mama Hua to go to the back kitchen of Hualou a few hours ago, and it stands to reason that at this hour, she should come back anyway.

In the fragrant women's boudoir, she is the only one at the moment.

Miao Shudi stood up and thought for a while, just as she was about to sneak out to see the situation, there was a familiar knock on the door between the attics, the rhythm was quite rhythmic, two short and one long.

She hurried to open the door, and a short figure in a gray robe appeared in front of her.

Before Miao Shudie could speak, it was the short figure of the maid Cuiyu who was about to cry out, and the little girl's tears rippled and cried, crying and saying anxiously: "Miss, Li Gongzi.. Li Gongzi.. He.. He.. has been arrested by the yamen and put in a cell. ”

Jade's voice was intermittent, obviously very sad.

The woman looked at it, quickly closed the door, and helped the little girl all the way to the warm table.

"Don't worry, speak slowly. ”

Miao Shudi saw her in a long robe and wondered to herself, and when she heard her say this, she knew it immediately, no wonder the little girl didn't come back until now, it seemed that she secretly ran out without herself. She patted the little girl's back, comforted her softly, and reached out to touch her sleeve, but she touched it for a long time but it was empty.

The little girl and the young lady have been together for a long time, so she naturally knows her young lady's thoughts, and when she saw the young lady's sudden appearance, although she was sad and full of confusion at the moment, she still subconsciously reached out to wipe her tears.

Miao Shudie looked stunned, the little hand that the little girl subconsciously wiped her tears with her fist clenched tightly, and a corner similar to an embroidered handkerchief fell out of the palm of the fist, which was bright red.

The woman's heart tightened, as if something strangled her neck.

Cuiyu wiped her tears, and saw that the young lady had been staring at her palm, a little strange, and followed her gaze, and the little girl was a little stunned at this look.

It turned out that she didn't know when she had been clenching her fists so unconsciously and holding the embroidered handkerchief embroidered with red camellia flowers in her palm and never letting go.

Cuiyu opened her hand and returned the embroidered handkerchief to her young lady, thinking about what Li Gongzi said to her in prison, and her expression gradually became clearer.

In the young lady's inquiring gaze, Cuiyu told her word by word how she learned about Li Gongzi who had been posted by the government and how she went to the county office.

In the room, two women, one quietly speaking, the other quietly listening.

Two kinds of women, one mind.

On the other side of the half-open window, butterflies the size of thumbs lay quietly there, their phosphorus wings glowing in the moonlight.

————————

On the side of the county government jail in the center of Fallen Leaf City, in a prison where felons are held alone, Li Yunfeng sat in front of the cell door and was depressed.

He was sure that Chen Wen's bastard must have done it on purpose, since he had scolded for a long time since no half of the figure came in, the two jailers who usually liked to speak ill in front of the prisoners must have also received his hints, how long has it been, his throat is about to smoke, and he doesn't even know how to send a pot of tea in.

Fortunately, he had eaten a chicken and drank a pot of wine, and he didn't feel hungry except for a little dry throat.

Li Yunfeng just sat on the side of the prison door, staring at the direction of the prison gate, after making sure that no one would come, fortunately he didn't have any hope, and simply turned his head to look out the window again, the moonlight on the horizon was like water, and the prison was cold.

The cool night breeze blowing through the window made people shiver, Li Yunfeng shrunk his neck, and couldn't help but start to slander in his heart.

I don't know what time it is, since there is not even a watch in the prison of this county government, Li Yunfeng suddenly misses the time when he first came to Fallen Leaf City, although he is also dressed in tatters, a ragged beggar, and the same pitiful scene of trembling in the night wind, but he was free at that time.

It seems that he had stolen a chicken from the Fuke Building at that time, Li Yunfeng twitched the corner of his mouth, it seems that he is really not suitable for eating chicken, and he has to change to a vegetarian diet!

Li Yunfeng thought for a long time, just looked out the window and thought about his thoughts, and he didn't know why he suddenly came to this strange world, and he didn't know why there were more than a dozen taels of silver under him that morning for no reason, he remembered the steamed bun shop on the street next to the Fuke Building in the east of the city, and remembered the wine shop in the north of the city

The enthusiastic and lively young man remembered the pot of sweet lychee that he drank for the first time in a foreign land, and also remembered the little girl who went out to sell wine alone with a wine pot in one hand.

Of course, it's also the little maid she just sent away not long ago, what will she be doing now? She should be crying very sadly, right? And the woman who likes to wear a goose-yellow light and elegant dress, after seeing the embroidered handkerchief and the piece of paper that has been returned to its original owner, will she be annoyed that she deliberately made such a ruthless good person appearance not to drag her down? It should be, after all, she is a beautiful aura woman.

Li Yunfeng looked at the prison shirt on his body, and pouted his lips a little brainlessly and self-deprecatingly, but it was a pity that the green shirt cost a lot of silver!

Thinking about it, his eyelids began to tremble, and he didn't know how long it took, and a sound of small and messy footsteps woke Li Yunfeng from his dream.

Someone's coming!

Li Yunfeng was a little curious, and listened with his ears pricked up for a long time, the footsteps in the prison were erratic, near and far, and it didn't seem like he was coming here on purpose.

Li Yunfeng had a chat with Zhang Si earlier today, and he knew that there were no condemned prisoners who had committed serious crimes in the prison of the county government, that the prison where he was temporarily staying had been empty for several years, and that the others were just habitual criminals who were accustomed to petty theft and robbery.

Just like Liu Ling said to Chen Wen before, since the witch disaster five years ago, there really hasn't been any particularly major cases in Fallen Leaf City.

Maybe Li Yunfeng joked that Chen Wen's sentence "The little Fallen Leaf City is a place where women and women gather their eyebrows, and the people are outstanding", but compared to five years ago, the Fallen Leaf City under Lord Huang's rule is indeed much more stable.

It's just that after a while, the footsteps are getting clearer and closer, Li Yunfeng's eyes lit up, and this time the feelings were coming towards his side.

It seems that Chen Wen's bastard is not bad when he arrives at home, and he still knows to come and let himself out.

Li Yunfeng stood up, patted the dust on his body, and looked at the cell door with anticipation, but he didn't see any figure, but suddenly heard a sharp sound of breaking the air, as if something flashed in front of him, and the cold light passed by, only a long sound was heard, and the iron cable hanging in front of the cell door fell to the ground with a clang.

Li Yunfeng was taken aback, unconsciously retreated again and again, and after looking left and right for a long time, he saw that there was no movement outside the cell door, so he cautiously stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pushed, and the cell door opened in response.

Where the iron cable of the prison door was hung at his feet, an arrow with a cold light was nailed to a boxy piece of paper and inserted on the ground.

It was the piece of paper wrapped in an embroidered handkerchief.

Li Yunfeng was a little surprised, didn't he already give the note to the little girl and asked her to return it to Miss Miao?

Not far from the prison door, a black shadow flashed, Li Yunfeng looked up, the person had already hidden on the side of the wall, unable to see the figure, but judging from the shadow of the light of the torch in the prison on the wall, the person who came seemed to be wearing the soap clothes of the yamen.

"Who?"

Li Yunfeng shouted towards the wall where the figure was hiding, but no one answered, but the shadow imprinted behind the wall seemed to be still there, motionless.

"Is it Brother Chen?" Li Yunfeng stared at the shadow, moving his steps lightly as he spoke, trying to walk behind the wall on the other side, "It's a big night, don't be kidding, Brother Chen, I guessed it's you, come out." ”

The shadow remained motionless, and the empty prison echoed and was unusually quiet.

The atmosphere was a little weird, because of the notepaper, Li Yunfeng was not sure that the person who came must be Chen Wen.

If it is true, as Chen Wen said, there are hunchbacked men stalking and people from the yamen secretly monitoring the little girl all the way, then before the hunchbacked man fails to really show his horse's feet and is caught on the way back and forth of the little girl, the people of the yamen should not move the little girl.

As for whether the person who came would be the hunchbacked man, it was even more unlikely.

However, the person who came had no bad intentions and released himself, could it be that after the little girl went back and told Miss Miao about the matter, this person was the master she invited?

Or is it ..... It can't be Miss Miao herself, a hidden heroine?

The more Li Yunfeng thought about it, the more he felt incredulous, no matter what, go out first, he can't live up to the beauty of the heart, anyway, he is not a real prisoner, even if he sees the county lord tomorrow, it doesn't matter.

Thinking of this, Li Yunfeng no longer hesitated, took the arrow and note paper he picked up into his arms, and ran in the direction of the black shadow.

When I came to the wall on the side where the Tibetans were witnessed, I saw that there was a half-figure, and a soap robe worn by the yacha was hanging on the side, quietly placed there.

Li Yunfeng was a little confused, the moonlight was shining at the main entrance of the prison where the prisoners were being held, and the door had already opened.

The figure flashed again, and suddenly reappeared in an imperceptible place in front of him, as if he was showing himself the way, as if he was waiting for himself, and as if he was telling himself to just go forward, it was safe.

Li Yunfeng picked up the official uniform and put it on his body, strode out of the door, and when he passed by the main hall, he didn't know what the reason was, or because of the heart of escaping from prison, Li Yunfeng unconsciously slowed down, looked inside without moving, and smiled dumbly.

In the main hall of the prison, the two jailers were already drunk and unconscious, the cups and plates on the table were in disarray, and several empty wine jars were still casually aside.

Li Yunfeng tiptoed past, only moved a few steps, and suddenly remembered a terrible thing, and then his whole person was like being struck by lightning, standing for a long time, like a stupid goose in a circle.

Now that he is a death row prisoner who has posted a notice at the gate of the city, where can he go before the yamen catches the real murderer? Besides, if he goes out at night, where can he go?

Chen Wen's guy must have thought of this, so he deliberately did this, Li Yunfeng was resentful when he thought of this, and he wanted to die.

Li Yunfeng suddenly felt guilty, and he shook at the good man hiding in the dark not far ahead, and kept muttering, "I'm sorry big brother, buddy is tied to the yamen now, and it seems that he can't go anywhere before the matter comes to light!"

Thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong, couldn't it be that those yamen officials secretly intercepted the little girl halfway, and took the piece of paper to deliberately come here to test themselves?

Li Yunfeng was shocked into a cold sweat, his feet moved, and he quietly retreated to the place where he came.

Just before he could turn his head and walk a few steps away, he was hit in the back of the head with a hand knife, and his eyes turned black and he fainted.

A short figure with a hunchback quietly appeared behind, and he stared at Li Yunfeng, who fell to the ground in front of him, and said, "This guy is not a fool, how could a little girl fall in love with such a thing as you." ”

After the hunchbacked man carried Li Yunfeng out of prison, he realized that it was almost the time of the middle of the sky, and there was a dead silence in the inner courtyard of the entire county government, and there was no errand patrolling around.

I walked all the way along the gravel path that was discharged from the hospital, and after a while, I came to the gate of the county office.

The hunchbacked man stretched out his hand and pushed, and the heavy door of the mansion was gently pushed open.

The two yacha who had been standing on duty in front of the door had disappeared, and they thought that it was past the hour of duty, and they went home to sleep.

On a corner of another street not far from the county office, a horse-drawn carriage was quietly parked aside, and on the roof axle beam on one side of the carriage, a palm-sized black tooth flag was inserted, and a lifelike oriole was embroidered on one side of the small flag.

On the other side is embroidered a word, "Xu".

It looks like an official uniform patch on a certain official.

On the wide street under the moonlight, a hunchbacked figure in a soap coat staggered away in the direction of the carriage with a young man in a soap coat on his back after descending the steps of the yamen.

In front of the county government, two mighty and lifelike cyan stone lions opened their teeth and danced their claws, and there were two men lying at the bottom of the stone lion statue on one side.
