Song Liyun didn't sleep all night and had to leave again in the afternoon. Song Zhenping refused to say anything.
Xiaoyun has been married for half a year and has no children. Although Song Liyun said that he didn't want to get pregnant early, he still didn't believe it. As a brother, he couldn't say more, and he couldn't watch Song Liyun ruin his body.
Song Zhenping asked Song Liyun to catch up on his sleep at home while he went to the town to get the migrant worker orders.
Song Liyun also thought that this was okay. Wu Dan was still a thirteen-year-old child and needed to take a nap. It would not be too late to get to Songfeng County before dark and stay overnight.
Unexpectedly, when Song Liyun woke up, it was already two hours later. Not only did Song Zhenping get the list, but Song Dequan, the town official, also came.
When he saw Song Liyun, Song Dequan handed her the list and told her the whole story.
As Song Liyun knew before, Song Erlang originally wanted to bring fifty people, but the Xia family was in a hurry and only twenty people could leave early.
Song Liyun frowned slightly: "Uncle Dequan, how many people are here from the Xia family and who are they?"
Song Dequan thought about it for a moment, then looked troubled: "The fifty members of the Xia family are all tenant farmers on his farm, and they are also capable laborers. They said that there is still another month of farming, so we should earn money first and then come back."
Song Liyun's eyebrows jumped when she heard that it would be done in January. Can this kind of sudden temporary work be done well?
Song Dequan and Song Zhenping could also think of the problems that Song Liyun could think of, and both of them looked bad.
But the Xia family is Song Dekui's father-in-law's family, and they have just married a new daughter-in-law, so it's hard for anyone to tell.
Especially Uncle Kui and the Li Zheng family are very kind to the three siblings.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little bad, Song Liyun suddenly laughed: "Uncle Dequan, brother, you don't have to think too much, it's good to have someone to do it for a month, there is a shortage of manpower outside the customs!"
Seeing that Song Liyun was not displeased, Song Dequan's expression softened and he said, "I will carefully select the people who go there in the future. Are you building walls and houses, or are you good at masonry work?"
Song Liyun thanked him.
The three of them discussed what to plant on the land that Mr.
Deal with the things to be arranged in the new year properly.
As the sun gradually sets in the west, Song Liyun and Wu Dan ride out of Xiaoshi Village.
There was a big bag on Wu Dan's horse, which contained his favorite roasted sweet potatoes and chestnuts.
The two of them conserved their power and drove slowly all the way, arriving at Songfeng County in the dark.
Song Liyun has never been to Songfeng County, but he is no stranger to it.
At the beginning, Prince Lin bribed Cao Jing, the county magistrate of Songfeng County, and sent Jiang Baotou and two officers to Qili County to arrest the Song brothers and sisters, but they were killed in Baolinju.
Jiang's arrest did not end well. When he came back, he was dismissed from his position as the arrester by the county magistrate Cao Jing. He still spent a lot of money to escape.
His trouble was a blessing in disguise, as he avoided the pursuit of the imperial envoys behind him and watched helplessly as Cao Jing was taken away.
Now that Mr. Jiang has become the chief again, he has become much more cautious in his work.
Song Liyun came to Songfeng County because it was the only way to Hecheng.
Secondly, it is already dark at this time, so I will go to the city at night and leave early tomorrow morning, so as not to disturb others.
The two of them entered the city smoothly and found an inn to stay at. Everything went as Song Liyun imagined, and they spent most of the night peacefully.
But at dawn, Song Liyun was awakened from her sleep by a rapid knock on the door: "Sir, please wake up! Something happened!"
Being out of town, Song Liyun didn't sleep well and opened her eyes as soon as the innkeeper looked at the door.
When she heard something was wrong, she turned over and sat up, flashing a blue light in her hand, and took out the electric shock baton.
Reaching out to open the door, the waiter was waiting anxiously. When he saw Song Liyun, he shouted: "Sir, your horse is lost!"
In the stable, the place where the two horses were tied was empty, and the broken reins were still hanging in the air.
Song Liyun asked the old horseman on night duty with a sullen face: "When did you feed the fodder?"
The old groom scratched his head, yawned and said, "I fed the horse at the second watch, and the horse was still there, and that Juqing almost bit someone! Your horse was so strong that he bit off the reins and ran away. You can't blame anyone else."
"
Wu Dan was so anxious that the veins on his neck popped out: "It's almost five o'clock now and you're just saying, why don't you blame others? Where can you find it? Can you afford to pay?"
This is a city, so you can't find footprints on the grassland, and there are also people outside. It must be the street cleaners sweeping the floor.
As soon as the old groom heard that he had to pay for it himself, he suddenly became anxious and shouted with his hands on his hips: "I only care about feeding the horse. I don't care whether your horse is still there or not. If you are afraid of losing it, don't tie it here and take it back to the house."
Got it!"
Wu Dan was so angry that he drew out his whip and was about to hit someone. The old horseman simply sat on the ground and started to play: "Come on! Come on, I'll hit you! If you kill the old man, you will be considered dead."
If it were left on the grassland, Wu Dan would not mind beating the Wu Dynasty people who made mistakes, and even a Wu Dynasty slave would not be able to exchange for half a horse.
But this is the Wu Dynasty, Wu Dan can't take action.
Seeing that Wu Dan didn't beat him, the old groom became more and more energetic, hugging Wu Dan's legs and started yelling.
Song Liyun frowned and glanced at the guy next to him. He saw that although he was anxious, he only urged to report the crime, but did not mention going out to look for horses.
Song Liyun stepped forward, looked at the water trough, which was as clean as water, touched the broken reins covered with tooth marks, and remained silent.
Seeing that the woman was not panicking, but instead touching the reins and looking at the trough, the man's eyes unconsciously glanced towards the back of the stable.
At this time, the old groom was still pestering Wu Dan, as if he wanted to deliberately anger him.
Song Liyun stepped forward quickly, kicked the old horseman, and said to Wu Dan: "Go to the gate and call the horse. The city gate is not open now, and there is no one on the street. If there is a horse racing outside, you will be spotted by street patrols.
It’s not too late to go to the county government office at dawn to ask!”
The old groom was caught off guard and kicked away by her, and Wu Dan escaped.
This was his first time staying in an inn in the city, and it was also his first time losing his horse like this. He didn't react until Song Liyun reminded him to summon his horse.
He didn't need to go to the door, he just stood by the stable, put his fingers in his mouth and whistled three times, and the whistle with a special tone immediately echoed over the inn.
As soon as the whistle blew, a long line of horses neighed in response from a courtyard behind the courtyard wall.
The expressions of the waiter and the old groom changed greatly. Wu Dan climbed up the wall and ran over in a few steps, only to see that the courtyard door was locked, and behind the door there was the sound of horses tapping anxiously.
Song Liyun grabbed the guy who was trying to escape by the back of his neck, gritted his teeth and said, "Open the door right now!"
The clerk still wanted to pretend to be stupid: "Sir, what are you talking about? That yard does not belong to my house. I don't have the key!"
He was given a loud slap in the face in response. Before the guy could recover from the slap, Song Liyun had already pressed two fingers on his eyelids and said coldly: "Your tricks are in vain, it's better to dig them out."
Feed the dog!”
In the morning breeze, the waiter felt that his two fingers were as cold as ice, and he was frightened: "Auntie, please calm down, little one, open the door right now!"
The key opened the courtyard door, and two horses tied tightly to the pillars were also revealed.
With half of his face swollen, the waiter begged for mercy in a low voice: "Please let me go, please let the little ones go. The horses really ran away on their own, and the little man was so obsessed that he led them here."
The old horseman also changed his rogue demeanor just now, shrank his head and remained silent.
