The morning light showed a slight hint of white fish belly. The two of them walked into Yuanzhou, a city with no curfew and closed doors at night. They found that the vendors had set up their breakfast stalls, and the morning breeze became softer and more fireworks.
Angry.
The two sat down in front of the breakfast shop. Bai Zeqing shouted feebly: "Boss, please have two bowls of soybean noodles! Put more coriander and chopped green onion."
"Okay, please wait a minute!" The boss had just finished adding charcoal to the fire. He stood up and opened the lid of the pot. When he looked over at the billowing white air rising from the pot, he was immediately dumbfounded.
A burst of steaming white gas passed by, and the boss saw clearly the two people sitting at the square table in front of the stall. Their clothes were dirty and torn, and they were obviously cut by swords. What frightened him the most was that these two people
There were many blood stains on their clothes. It was unclear whether they were their own or those of others.
"Oh my god, what...what's going on?" the boss shouted.
The neighbor who sells hushaoshao across the door just opened the door. Hearing the boss's shout, he asked him what he was having trouble with.
The fat proprietress of the stew shop next door had just arrived at the door carrying hot water. When she looked over, the hot water basin in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, and she shouted in horror: "Oh, what's wrong?"
The boss's wife's loud voice was so startling that several neighbors opened their windows and asked what was going on.
In the midst of the noise, Bai Zeqing could only look up helplessly and smile at them, saying, "Sorry, we caught a robber. I'm hungry and just want to eat a bowl of noodles."
The fat landlady looked at the two of them, especially Banxia, who was covered in blood. She only heard the word "robber", blinked, stamped her feet, said "ah yo", and ran towards the street, shouting at the top of her lungs.
: "Someone, help, there are robbers——"
Bai Zeqing: "..."
Banxia: “…”
Just, I really just want to eat a bowl of noodles!
Seeing that the yawning patrol soldier who was about to return to the government office for his shift was quickly called over, Bai Zeqing helplessly wiped the bottom of the pot secretly, and then smeared the ash from the bottom of the pot randomly on his face.
Banxia turned around to talk to her, but was startled by her. Then she sneered and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Sister Banxia, have you forgotten that I am an imperial prisoner?"
"I told you to go directly to the government office. Who told you to insist on eating noodles now? Look, are you looking for trouble?"
Bai Zeqing's eyes widened.
With her current body, it is perfectly fine not to eat, drink or sleep. But Banxia can't do it. Even if Banxia has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, she is still a woman after all. She lost too much blood, stayed up all night, and ran around all night. Bai Zeqing watched
Banxia's face became paler and paler, her steps were already staggering, and she said she was too hungry to walk and wanted to eat a bowl of noodles.
It was still dark now, and she really didn't expect that the descriptions of the two of them would scare the neighbors to tears.
She could only admit that she was unlucky and said feebly: "It's okay. It's the same as going to the government office like this."
"That's true." Banxia took out the Huo family's cards from his arms, exchanged a few words with the officers and soldiers, and then called Bai Zeqing, "Let's go."
…
When the four strong men were tied up and carried into the Yamen, Huo Yuncheng and Huo Sanniang also arrived.
When Bai Zeqing saw the embarrassment between her and Ban Xia, even a person like Huo Yuncheng could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.
Bai Zeqing couldn't help but curse: Wasn't he seriously injured and in a coma? Now his son doesn't pretend to be sick anymore.
Looking at their red eyes, Wen Jinnuo said nothing and ordered someone to serve them tea to wake them up. At this time, he ordered someone to serve tea to Huo Yuncheng and Huo Sanniang.
Then he glanced at Lu Yu and said to everyone: "Since the criminals in the grain case and the prefect case have been arrested, let's hold a trial tomorrow."
Lu Yu slightly hesitated and asked: "It's just that these suspects are still unconscious. I heard that Dr. Zheng in the second master's house is already the master of Yuanzhou, and no one can surpass him. Can..."
"Why bother with Dr. Zheng?" Huo Yuncheng pointed at Bai Zeqing, "This is the lady doctor in my house. Her skills are even better than Dr. Zheng's."
Bai Zeqing was thinking of finding an opportunity and unknowingly took out the golden thread. She was too shallow now, so she tried flying several times without success, and her sudden approach to the suspect attracted too much attention.
This is good, just when I was feeling sleepy, someone brought me a pillow.
Bai Zeqing glanced at Huo Yuncheng, wondering if he was testing her on purpose.
Of course she would not shirk at this time. She walked up to the four suspects and pretended to massage the acupuncture points a few times. In fact, she took out the golden thread and turned it into smoke that instantly dissipated.
So under the watchful eyes of everyone, she, the young lady doctor, with her superb medical skills, "cured" all four of them to consciousness.
As expected, the four people shouted that they were wronged as soon as they woke up. Bai Zeqing noticed that the eyes of several people unconsciously drifted towards Lu Jietui.
Lu Jietui shouted before Wen Jinnuo could speak: "Hurry, these repeat offenders will be sent to prison to await trial! Don't yell in court again."
All the government officials quickly said yes and took the person away.
Seeing the suspect being taken away, Lu Jietui asked again: "Mr. Wen, in the case of Magistrate Sun, there is still no clue about the reason for the crime, the physical evidence of the crime, etc." He first looked at Bai Zeqing and Banxia, and then asked Huo Yuncheng, "Second,
Are you sure that the person caught tonight is the murderer?"
"Whether it is yes or no, we will know after the interrogation tomorrow?" Huo Yuncheng raised his eyebrows, and then said to Wen Jinnuo and Lu Yu: "The trial will start tomorrow, and the prison must be strictly guarded today to prevent any changes."
Wen Jinnuo nodded, but before he spoke, Lu Yu patted the back of his hand gently and said to Huo Yuncheng: "We have limited manpower and are not familiar with Yuanzhou, so please help me generously."
"Without any hesitation." Huo Yuncheng responded matter-of-factly.
After leaving the government office, Bai Zeqing looked around, but she didn't see the Huo family's carriage. Only then did she know that Huo Yuncheng and Huo Sanniang had both arrived on horseback. She couldn't help but look at Huo Yuncheng more and thought: This Huo family's carriage was not there.
The second master looked cold and indifferent, but he still cared about his personal maid.
While thinking wildly, a hand stretched out in front of her eyes.
"Come." Huo Yuncheng looked at Bai Zeqing with a half-smile, his hand still stretched out in front of her eyes.
Bai Zeqing didn't want to ride with Mr. Huo at all, so he looked around helplessly and saw that Huo Sanniang and Banxia were already riding together, and there was no empty horse.
Huo Sanniang looked at Bai Zeqing with interest, but said nothing, and had no intention of letting Banxia, who had promised to personally protect Huo Yuncheng, ride with Bai Zeqing.
Bai Zeqing was speechless.
Does the Huo family, which uses silver as money, still lack two horses? If not, what's the matter with borrowing two horses from Mr. Wen?
Bai Zeqing thought angrily, but she had no choice but to hold Mr. Huo's hand and get on the horse.
With the sound of "drive", the horse galloped out.
Behind her, Huo Sanniang clicked her tongue: "Banxia, is this still our second master who has mysophobia?"
"Yes, I was afraid that he would dislike me and asked me to walk back by myself, so I quickly got on your horse." Banxia felt a little aggrieved.
Huo Sanniang sighed, smelling the lingering smell of blood in her nose, and said frankly: "I dislike it too, can you walk back by yourself?"
"I can't." Ban Xiamu hugged Huo Sanniang tightly without expression. "My whole body hurts."
