Chapter 45: There is no eternal turmoil on the rivers and lakes
When Bai Yao'er came to her senses, it was in the morning when the sky was about to dawn.
She found herself lying in a government court, her cheeks pressed against the cold ground, her body chilling.
The court was large, surrounded by red pillars supporting the roof, and the utensils were carved with majestic and hideous beast-faced knife heads.
But the strange thing was that there was no one on either side of the court, only a middle-aged man in a black-robed silverfish suit sat in front of the hall, looking at her with a blank face.
"What is this?" Bai Yao'er covered her forehead and sat up from the floor of the court.
Her head hurt and her mind was a mess, as if she couldn't remember anything.
What's wrong with this and why am I here?
She thought blankly.
Shouldn't I be on the way to Wudang Mountain with Li Si?
"Smack!" At this time, the middle-aged man in front of the public court suddenly took the shocking wood on the table and slapped it heavily.
The sound was very loud, and it shook Bai Yao'er a little sober.
The middle-aged man was sitting at the table, opened his tightly closed mouth, and said slowly.
"Bai Yao'er, a folk girl, escorted the thief Li Si to the Beijing government at midnight this morning, and was taken into custody by Yan Ting, the head of the southeast of the six gates. In the near future, it will be announced to the world and the emperor's grace will be granted. Chin this. ”
After speaking, the middle-aged man took out a roll of yellow silk cloth from his arms, which was the emperor's edict he received from the palace in the early hours of this morning.
Although it is not the same as the formal decree, it has the same effect.
He had already informed the emperor of this matter.
It's just that because there is another inside story of this matter, the emperor only gave him a scroll of handwritten instructions and asked him to deal with it alone.
Li Si, six doors, detained by the government?
Listening to these words, Bai Yao'er even thought that she hadn't fully woken up yet, so she misheard when she escorted Li Si to the official mansion.
With her mouth slightly open, Bai Yao'er looked at the man in the hall and said.
"This, ······ the hell"
The man interrupted her.
"Still not receiving the order?"
The voice was dull, with an indescribable majesty, which made people breathe a little unwell.
Bai Yao'er's face turned pale, and she couldn't resist, so she had to kneel down first and raise her hand on her head.
"Folk girl, leader. ”
The middle-aged man walked down from the court, put the silk cloth in his hand in Bai Yao'er's hand, and said lightly.
"Get up. ”
But Bai Yao'er didn't get up directly, but first opened the silk cloth in his hand and confirmed the content again.
The handwriting on it is very clear, saying that she caught Li Si and that the emperor would reward her.
At this time, she seemed to remember something.
She remembered that she was knocked unconscious, and the moment before she fainted, Li Si seemed to say a word to her.
"Remember that you owe me ten thousand taels of gold. ”
10,000 taels of gold······
In an instant, Bai Yao'er, who seemed to have figured out everything, was shocked, and an indescribable taste spread in her heart.
She understood why Li Si was talking about trouble, and why Li Si didn't take her to Wudang Mountain again.
He helped her with one more thing, something that was helpless for her, but more important than her life.
Seeing Bai Yao'er's stunned appearance, the middle-aged man stepped aside, took out a knife from the corner and hung it on his waist again.
"It seems that you don't know everything. ”
The saber was not allowed in the court, but now he has come down from the court.
"Great, sir. Bai Yao'er turned her head blankly, looking at the middle-aged man as if she wanted to say something.
But the middle-aged man didn't let her continue, he has always been vigorous and resolute, and he won't spend more unnecessary words.
"I call Yan Tingzhi, you don't have to call me Lord, Li Si has already told me at the beginning of the matter, this time, I will take you to receive the bounty and escort you back. Also······"
He turned his face sideways, glanced at Bai Yao'er, and took out a piece of paper from his bosom and placed it in front of her.
"This is left to you by Li Si, come out after you see it. ”
With that, Yan Tingzhi walked outside with the knife in his hand.
In the uninhabited courtroom, Bai Yao'er sat on the ground, half loud, picked up the piece of paper in front of him, and opened it.
On the paper, it was a letter left by Li Si to her.
"Girl, you should have the money to save your father by now, right? Haha, don't thank me, I said, we will be friends in the future, and friends should take care of each other, you don't have to worry about it.
Although Yan Tingzhi is old-fashioned, he is a good person, you can trust him, if he is there, no one can take away your 10,000 taels of gold, heh, unless I come in person.
After your father's illness is cured, you should take good care of him, stay in the mountains and don't come out, your martial arts are too poor, and the rivers and lakes are not suitable for you.
Okay, I won't say much, I know the road in Ji County, if I have a chance in the future, I will go to you to play, don't forget to prepare some good wine when the time comes.
Li Si. ”
Outside, the sky was about to be bright, and some dim light fell in and shone on Bai Yao'er's side.
She never imagined that one day she would be able to save her father.
It occurred to her that this could be another joke.
When she was about to cry, Li Si would jump out of a corner and say with a smile.
Haha, I'm kidding you, do you really believe it?
But Li Si didn't jump out again, and this is not a joke.
She was the only one sitting in the hall with slightly red eyes.
······
Three days later, a piece of news spread all over the world.
The thief Li Si was arrested.
This made those Jianghu people who were still ridiculing the royal family for losing face this time quieted down, and they had nothing to say.
Who is the person who caught Li Si, no one has heard of it, it seems to be just a nameless little girl.
No one knows how she caught Li Si, so there are different opinions.
Some people say that she used poison and used third-rate means, but this kind of remark was quickly refuted, because if that could catch Li Si, Li Si would have been caught a long time ago.
Some people said that she used a beauty trick, but soon some people said that Li Si didn't seem to eat it. Because the top card of Wanhualou invited him as a guest back then, he didn't go.
In the end, some people believe that this woman named Bai Yao'er may also be an unborn master, which can catch Li Si.
Others thought that she was just lucky to meet Li Si, who was injured after the fight, so they arrested him.
But no matter what you say, the result will not change, Li Si was caught, and his myth of the rivers and lakes also temporarily made a hasty conclusion.
Those who were still going to arrest Li Si all went home in a huff, those who were talking in the restaurant talked about other gossip, and those who were related to this matter had their own thoughts.
The turmoil has passed, and the rivers and lakes seem to have calmed down again.
ps: I will take a leave of absence tomorrow, I will not have time to hand in my art class homework, so I have to find time to make up for it. (Ah, what can I do if I always fail my homework, incompetent rage.) )
In addition, some readers asked why Li Si couldn't steal 10,000 taels of gold for Bai Yao'er, first of all, stealing things is obviously more troublesome than surrendering, and it is not so easy to find something worth 10,000 taels of gold. And, didn't you guys find this a good way to get rid of wanted warrants? After being imprisoned in the prison, the wanted warrant was lifted, and then he secretly escaped from prison, and the royal family generally did not issue another wanted warrant immediately after taking care of face, so wouldn't Li Si be at ease again. Spread your hands.
Okay, that's it, see you the day after tomorrow.
