Chapter Twenty-Six: The Bird Escapes from the Cage, and the Fish Leaps into the River
There are only 10 days left until the college exam.
Chen Sanlang seized the time to study, and went to Mr. Yang to borrow a number of scriptures and articles, studied them carefully, and tried to achieve success.
On this day, Uncle Hua suddenly quietly ran into the study: "Young master, something is wrong. β
Chen Sanlang put down the scroll and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There are people watching me outside the courtyard, and they are people from the yamen. β
In fact, Chen Sanlang also noticed it, but he was afraid that his mother would worry, so he didn't say anything.
"Is the escapement of my brother-in-law finally going to be exposed?"
Due to the death of Zhang Jia and Li B, two officials in Huangquan, it is impossible to appear again. Over time, Huang Xianling did not doubt that it was strange, and it was the most ideal result to be able to delay until now. The clues that could have been left behind are gone, and it will be difficult to catch the handle again.
"There is no doubt that the yamen must be staring at me now, looking for a breakthrough from me......"
Chen Sanlang thought quickly: It's just that the other party has some scruples, so he didn't rush in to arrest people, but stalked outside. But I'm afraid that patience is limited, and maybe one day I won't be able to bear it and come directly.
The state has a national law, but this law always has too many loopholes that can be exploited. If Huang Xianling really tore his face and pulled down the shelf to deal with him, Chen Sanlang would really not be able to deal with such a child.
"If you are a famous talent now, you will be much more relaxed when you are around. β
Fame, the desire for fame has never been stronger.
In any case, Jing County is already a whirlpool at the moment, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. Anyway, the hospital test was held in Nanyang Mansion, so it was better to pass a few days in advance, as long as it was out of the control of the Huang County Order, he couldn't mess around.
With his mind decided, Chen Sanlang went to find his mother.
Chen Wang did not object: "Yuan'er, will you leave tomorrow?"
"If it's not windy or rainy, I'll leave tomorrow. I walked alone, and Uncle Hua stayed at home. β
Seeing that his mother wanted to speak and stopped, Chen Sanlang smiled and said: "Uncle Hua wants to help you sell cloth, how can you walk away? Besides, the child has already gone to Nanyang Mansion to take the government exam, and the path is familiar, so don't worry about it." β
Chen Wang sighed: "Okay, then you be careful on the road, and I'll cook some cakes to make dry food for you later." β
"Thank you, mother. β
Since you're planning to leave tomorrow, you have to be prepared. How could the people of the Yamen let him go so easily? One of them could not say that he could say well, and he was ambushed and robbed him back halfway.
You have to find a way to get rid of it.
After thinking about it, Chen Sanlang thought of Xu Jun: Maybe she is the one who can help herself.
Go out and go to the martial arts hall.
Sure enough, there were two "tails" hanging behind him.
These are two officials, dressed in civilian clothes, and they are not afraid of being seen by Chen Sanlang, swaggering to follow behind.
"This nerd ran into the martial arts hall again. β
"Ten **, I am thinking about other people's daughters. β
The two gossip very leisurely.
"What do you say about the origin of the Xu Pavilion Master, the former He County Commander respected him a lot, could it be that he is really a martial arts master?"
"Cut, what a martial arts master, you've heard too much. Dragons don't swim in shallow water, how can there be martial arts masters in our small place?"
The other nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, but this Xu Pavilion Master's daughter is really beautiful, like a fairy, looking greedy." β
"Don't mess around, no one has beaten this little lady's idea before, but none of them ended well. If it was so easy to get hold of, this flower would have been ** rotten, and even people like Wu Laitou would have to take a detour when they saw her. β
"That's amazing...... By the way, speaking of Wu Laitou, this guy hasn't seen anyone for many days. β
"yes, it's so strange, it looks like it's missing, and I don't know where to go. β
"Whatever, it's better to die, save trouble. β
For the naughty ruffians who make trouble all day long, in fact, the officials are not happy. As for Wu Laitou, a bachelor man, his parents were angry with him early, and who cares whether he is dead or alive? He does not make trouble in the streets of the city, and I don't know how many people are secretly having fun.
Watching Chen Sanlang enter the martial arts hall, the two officials squatted at the corner of the street, very bored: "What does it mean to catch heads, let's stare at people, we have been staring at people for so many days, and we don't say a word clearly." β
"It's not, it's better to just lock people back. Reward him with a few big mouths, this kid can't be obedient?"
"Hehe, that's right, a weak scholar, when he enters the cell, he will probably be scared to the core, so why bother going around in circles with him. β
The two grumbled and beat the time.
About half an hour, Chen Sanlang came out and walked home.
At dusk, in a shop near Chen's house, Zhong Zhutou listened to the report of two officials.
"That's all?"
The official hurriedly replied: "Head catcher, that's all." This kid is studying at home every day, and when he goes out, he goes to the martial arts hall to take a step, which is very simple. β
Zhong Zhutou was silent: Reading and writing is the duty of a scholar, and there is nothing to doubt. And Chen Sanlang went to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts and Zamabu a long time ago, and this matter was regarded as a joke in Jing County at that time, and there was nothing to say.
According to this rhythm, it is difficult to find valuable clues, and Huang Xianling is in a hurry, and today Zhang Staff came to the door again to ask about the progress of the matter.
Zhong Zhutou was irritable.
An official messenger said: "Catch the head, just arrest people." If we are afraid that the impact will not be good, we will do it secretly. In the past, it is not that I have never done such a thing. Pack people up with a sack, get them to a remote place, and try them as much as they want. β
Another official chimed in: "Isn't it just a child? If you press a little bit on the adult's side, who will dare to come out?"
Zhong Zhutou reached out and touched his face, and made a decision: "Okay, tomorrow when he goes to the martial arts hall, you will arrest people." Remember, in a place where there are fewer people...... Well, didn't he have to go through a laneway when he went to the martial arts hall? β
"Good. β
The two officials happily agreedβthey could finally end this boring and boring stalking task.
It's night, and the moon is bright. Chen Sanlang sat on the edge of the well in the courtyard, but did not read. He didn't want to read tonight, he just wanted to drink.
Three glasses of wine, not much, because tomorrow you have to get up early and have to travel far, so you can't get drunk.
The first cup of respect for the bright moon: the years are similar, and the people are different every year;
The second cup is dedicated to this family: born in Si, grown up here, honor and disgrace are all under the eaves;
The third cup of red carp: half a cup of wine poured into the well, half a cup of wine into the throat, the mermaid forgot the opportunity to be a confidant.
Done!
Bang bang bang!
The red carp seemed to feel the waves in Chen Saburo's heart, his tail flicked, and the well water churned, which echoed Saburo's mood.
Chen Sanlang seemed to be drunk......
The night passed little by little, and in the early hours of the morning, the first rooster crowed, he woke up, sat up on the bed, got dressed, and finished washing.
Chen Wang's book has been finished, which contains the four treasures of the study, a change of clothes, dry food and water for eating and drinking on the road, and a mother full of love.
"Yuan'er, here are ten taels of silver...... There are only so many at home, I have wronged you. β
"Not aggrieved. β
Chen Sanlang held back the sourness in his eyes, and only took five taels: "Five taels is enough." β
Carrying the book, he walked out of the house - Chen Wang and Uncle Hua wanted to send each other, but he resolutely pushed them away.
It was still early, and the streets were very deserted, only the early sellers came out to occupy the space and set up stalls.
"Hey, isn't this Chen Sanlang? With the book on his back, where are you going early in the morning?"
In the house outside Chen's house, two officials live inside, responsible for monitoring day and night, and the officials on duty are yawning, and when they look up, they see Chen Sanlang going out.
"Want to escape?"
He couldn't help but jump up and call his companions. However, the other officer slept like a pig, snoring, and screamed twice without responding.
The official didn't care about his companions, and hurriedly opened the door and rushed out.
"Oops!"
I don't know if it's because I walked too fast, or I didn't sleep in the middle of the night and was in a trance, I stumbled inexplicably under my feet, and fell down the steps with a grunt.
Chen Sanlang was not in a hurry, he walked slowly, and when he walked to the city gate, the gatekeepers were opening the city gate. There were already some people waiting to enter or leave the city, and when the gates were opened, the people went in and out in order.
"It hurts me. β
The official hummed and got up, feeling pain all over his body, and when he moved slightly, his right foot was bare and painful, and he dared to love his foot.
"Bad luck!"
He took a sip and suddenly remembered: "It's not a good thing, let Chen Sanlang go out of the city." "I have to get up to chase it, but I can't take two or three steps, my feet hurt badly, and I can't go fast at all with one step at a time. When he chased after him, Chen Sanlang didn't know where he went.
I had to crawl back to the house and call my companion, but I couldn't wake up, so I slapped my mouth directly.
"Ah, who beat Lao Tzu?"
The official was finally woken up, and when he heard that Chen Sanlang had escaped, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: "How long have you been running?"
"I guess they're all out of town by now. β
"No, I'll have to inform the headcatcher immediately. β
He ran to Zhong Zhutou's house.
"What, Chen Sanlang is out of the city?"
Zhong Zhutou jumped up from the bed naked, and hurriedly got dressed: "It's not good, this kid must have gone to Nanyang Mansion to take the hospital exam in advance, and he can't be allowed to take the exam." β
No one can guarantee whether Chen Sanlang can pass the test, but only if he can't go to Nanyang Mansion, he will definitely not be able to pass the test.
"Quick, prepare the horses!"
Zhong Zhutou is really a little anxious, this is a dead task assigned by Huang County's order, if he messes up, how can he gain the trust of adults in the future.
Gotta get it!
The horses' hooves galloped, and they didn't even care about the rules of the city that horses were not allowed to gallop.
Hiss!
The horse did not know what to step on, and suddenly the horse stumbled and fell down.
Zhong Zhutou was taken aback, fortunately he had learned martial arts, and he made a take-off evasion action, and finally he was not fallen, but the horse could not continue to ride, so he had to run to catch up. After about half an hour, he finally chased to the dock, but where was Chen Sanlang's figure, looking up, he saw a flat boat sailing away, and soon turned into a small black dot and disappeared.
The bird escapes from the cage, the fish jumps into the river, Chen Sanlang's mood is just like the river, flowing and free.
