A middle-aged man in civilian clothes, who looked righteous and awe-inspiring, said in a deep voice to the girl who called herself Hongmei: "Do you know this person?"

Qi Tian listened to the voice and knew that it was the county order, and his heart hung in his throat. With this identification, I am afraid that I will have to bear the stigma of a flower thief from now on.

Hongmei glanced at Qi Tian, her eyes were complicated, and she snorted: "Daddy still remembers that last year's spring outing, when she encountered a gangster, it was a son who came to the rescue?"

The county Linghu was suspicious: "This is the person." Hongmei nodded. A middle-aged scribe shook the folding fan lightly and said slowly: "So, this person is a friend of the young lady?"

The middle-aged scribe suddenly put away his fan and pointed it towards Hongmei's chest. Qi Tian listened to the strong wind, didn't know what the other party wanted, thought of the previous conversation, knew that the girl was not welcomed, and then kicked his left foot, rushed over with an arrow step, and pulled the other person's arm.

That Master Wang suddenly turned sideways, shook off the folding fan, and swiped over the package behind Qi Tian's back. With a "stab" sound, the package cracked, and the jewels inside poured out and fell to the ground, and there was a series of sounds.

The lady exclaimed, "Little thief, it turned out that you stole something." Master Wang put away the folding fan and said lightly: "It turns out that the young lady came back, and she actually had a plan!"

Hongmei listened to his tone, and actually accused herself of conspiring with others to steal, and said angrily: "What do you mean, master?" The woman called the eldest lady ordered to the county: "Miss moved out for two years, and she usually doesn't come back for the holidays, but she suddenly came back tonight, doesn't the master feel strange?"

The county ordered: "Didn't people say that there was a small break into the attic." The eldest lady said: "There is really a small intruder, how can you have both people and money?

The county commander looked at Hongmei, his eyes were cold, and his face was grim. Hongmei's heart was cold, she was not in harmony with her eldest mother, so she moved out to live, but she had no suspicion with her father, but her eyes were not only full of suspicion, but also full of anger.

The woman continued: "If you want the government to be on guard day and night, even a fly can't escape from sight, if someone doesn't work together inside and outside, how can it be stolen?"

Hongmei was shocked and angry. The woman looked at her, sighed, and said, "My lord is just your daughter, and this family will be yours after a hundred years, so you are in such a hurry?"

Hongmei looked at the county order sadly, and said, "Daddy thinks so too?" The county order said coldly: "The facts are there, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"

Hongmei's face turned pale, and she laughed miserably: "Since Daddy believes that his daughter is complicit with others, what else does his daughter have to say?" The county commander shouted in a deep voice: "Someone is coming." ”

The officials outside, hearing the movement, had already stood outside the door, with all their might, but the chief did not speak, and did not dare to break out without permission, and rushed in five officials when they heard the words.

The county magistrate waved his hand and said, "Escort the young lady and the thief down together, and go to the court tomorrow for a retrial." ”

The five officials pulled out the shackles from their waists. Hongmei didn't wait to get closer, and suddenly rushed to the pillar next to her, crashing headlong. "Bang", hit an object on a wall, and his head ached faintly. She looked up, only to find that she had crashed into Qi Tian's arms, and her face turned red.

The five officials saw that the young lady was looking for death, and they were at a loss, although the county lord ordered the arrest, but the flesh and blood of the people were connected, if there were three long and two short, who could afford to bear the crime?

The county commander watched coldly, became more and more annoyed, and shouted: "Don't do it yet." He was not angry that these servants dared to disobey the order, but that his daughter had a stubborn temper, even if she had grievances, she didn't tell them, so he couldn't start, and his father's sense of existence was extremely low.

Seeing that the county magistrate was angry, the five officials shouted together and rushed forward. The county magistrate only felt a flower in front of him, and the five officials flew out of the door like scarecrows one by one, and fell into the courtyard, but none of them moved, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive?

Qi Tian turned to Hongmei, grabbed her waist with his left hand, jumped up, blasted the roof with his right hand, ran out of the hole, and said loudly: "If you let me know that there is a tax increase in Qishan, I will take three heads." "After a few falls, the people have arrived outside the county office. He was afraid that the officers and soldiers would chase him, so he ran out of several streets with Hongmei in his arms before stopping.

Hongmei blushed and whispered, "Thank you." Qi Tiandao: "It's all reckless, and the girl is implicated." Is that the girl's residence? In the middle of the night, it is not safe for the girl to go back alone, so stay and give you a ride. ”

When Hongmei heard him talk about the attic, she couldn't help but think of the bathing scene, only to feel that her face was like a fire, and her heart was beating as if she was about to jump out of her chest. Qi Tian listened to her breathing suddenly and heavily, and asked, "What's wrong with the girl?"

Hongmei shook her head, and said after a long time: "That is also my father's property, and now that he resists arrest, he can't go back." ”

Qi Tian was in a hurry at the time, but he didn't think about this festival, but now that he thinks about it, he really lacks consideration, and he leaves, leaving people to resist arrest, and the father and daughter break up, where will they go in the future?

Hongmei nodded, the matter has come to this, she is penniless, although Qishan is big, she has no place to go.

When the two returned to the inn, Bai Wuchang opened his eyes and glanced at them, was slightly stunned, and then closed them and fell asleep.

Seeing that he didn't care, Qi Tian was afraid that people would misunderstand, so he explained: "This is the daughter of the county order, who broke with her father and was homeless. Bai Wuchang mumbled indistinctly, and he didn't know if he heard it.

Qi Tian went up to wake up the two masters and servants of Huayu and told them the situation. Xiaorui was sleepy-eyed, and the boss was displeased. Hua Yu hurriedly said: "Children of the rivers and lakes, in case of emergency, it is the morality of my generation to help." I slept on the ground and let the girl and Rui'er sleep in the bed. ”

Hongmei hurriedly said: "That can let my sister sleep on the ground, I can sleep on the ground." Xiaorui waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll suffer a little loss and sleep in bed." He walked back to his room, and did not lay on the floor, but moved two stools, laid them flat in the air, and lay them down.

The next day, the five of them woke up, and the general inn had food and drink, and the shopkeeper had limited manpower, but he did not operate at the same time. Five people had breakfast nearby. Qi Tian said: "There is something going out of the next place. "Say goodbye and go out, and ask where the horse market is along the way.

Qi Tian followed the road, the early morning market was in full swing, the sound of cows, horses, donkeys and mules, shouting, bargaining, all kinds of sounds were mixed. He had heard Allure say that too many of the horse-related businesses in the market were made up of horse gang disciples, and they walked straight to a man who was driving a car.

The man was in his early thirties, with a stout figure and a dark complexion. Qi Tian arched his hand and said, "Excuse me." The man had a lot of experience, and when he heard him say "disturb", eighty percent had nothing to do with buying and selling, and the interest that had just come up immediately withered down.

Qi Tian observed his words and looks, and saw that the attitude of the people was cold, so he went straight to the point and said: "Brother Tai is a disciple of the Ma Gang?" The man glanced at Qi Tian, neither admitted nor denied it, and asked, "Why are you inquiring about the Ma Gang?"

Qi Tiandao: "In Xia and the Ma Gang Xuancheng's success is a friend. The man said: "I don't know what is not enough to succeed or fail, you can inquire about the wrong person." He waved his hand and said impatiently: "If you don't want to rent a car, don't disturb my business." ”

Qi Tian was about to take out the token given by his master to prove his identity, but he was not on his body, so he had to say, "Then I can ask you what to say here?"

The Han man looked at Qi Tian with blazing eyes. An old man selling a foal next to him quietly approached. Qi Tian saw that the man's eyes were not good, and explained: "There is something going on here, I want to inquire." ”

The old man who leaned over suddenly said: "I don't know if I become a brother or not." Childe looked for our hall master, but unfortunately, his old man went back to the helm to discuss the matter. ”

Qi Tian said "oh", took out a piece of silver, handed it over, and said, "Are there any other people in charge here?" ”

The old man didn't answer, and said: "Since the little brother knows the old man, he should know our rules, and no one should approach." Qi Tiandao: "If you have something important to inquire about, please be accommodating." ”

The old man muttered, "Little brother really wants to have something, then wait here for a while." So saying, he walked away. Although he and Cheng are not familiar with each other, they know that they can also be regarded as the number one person in the horse gang, and the two are friends, and if they buy a favor, they may be useful in the future. In case it is beneficial to the caravan, it is still a credit.

The man who was driving the car suddenly reached out and took the broken silver from Qi Tian's hand. Qi Tian frowned slightly, this person didn't give an inch, but he took the remuneration, it was too much for himself.

The man coughed dryly and said, "If it weren't for my face, Lao Qin would be able to give you a message?"

Although Qi Tian didn't think so, he couldn't argue with someone for a little money, and said lightly: "It's okay, just be a little careful in the next little and invite my brother to have a glass of wine." ”

The man was very happy when he saw that he was quite upright, and said: "I see that the little brother is also a person in the rivers and lakes, and he dares to love for the 'Phoenix Fruit' in Qishan?"

Qi Tian smiled slightly. The man said to himself: "Listen to my brother, that potato is very hot, but I found it by chance, but I am afraid that I will not be able to take it away." ”

Although Qi Tian didn't like him as a person, he was kind to his words, but it was inconvenient to be too refutable, and said noncommittally: "Thank you, brother, for your concern." ”

The man listened to his indifferent tone, and his words were not speculative, so he didn't say more. He had money in his pocket, and he was addicted to alcohol, so he said, "Please help me and Lao Qin take care of it." "I went away. He drinks a lot of alcohol, has a big addiction, and although his income is relatively considerable, he can't stand his morning and evening drinks.

After a while, the man came back energetically with a pot of wine, sat on the wheel, took a sip of wine, sang a minor tune, and his eyes gradually blurred.

A middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper approached and asked, "How did you rent this car?" The man drank wine and sang a little song.

The middle-aged butler asked again. The man turned a deaf ear. The middle-aged housekeeper stared at it for a moment, sighed, shook his head, and went away.

The man seemed to have just sobered up, looked at the man's back, and said vaguely: "Hey, where do you want to rent a car? How do you go? Alas, can't you keep it? Let's go, let's go, it's all clean." As he spoke, he leaned back on the carriage and fell asleep.
