Song Liyun didn't want to talk to them anymore. After Wu Dan untied his horse and went out, he said coldly to the waiter: "My aunt has something to do today, so I'll let you go for now. If you are greedy like this in the future, you won't be as lucky as today."
The waiter begged again and again: "I will never dare to do it again!"
This is also unintentional.
The horse that Song Liyun rode had a large appetite, so he asked the inn to add fodder to the horse twice, and gave him double the money for the fodder.
The old groom was always lazy last night. When he was feeding the horses in the middle of the night, he just threw some fodder out of the way, so that he could pocket twice as much for the fodder, and the beast couldn't complain anyway.
Who knew that Ju Qingma had a fierce personality and was usually pampered, so how could she endure hunger.
He bit off the reins himself, let out Wu Dan's horse, and took the bolt of the side door in his mouth to go out to find grass.
When the old groom found the door opened and saw that the horse had gone out, he simply wanted to make a show of it and found a man who took the horse to a nearby free yard and hid it.
As long as the owner reports the crime and the government finds the tooth marks on the reins and the door bolt, indicating that the horse wandered off on its own, he can be cleared of suspicion.
In the future, I will find an opportunity to send the horses out of the city without anyone noticing, and I will get two good horses.
After this delay, the sky was getting brighter and the city gate had opened. Song Liyun didn't want to waste any more time, so he had to let these two evil-minded people go.
The two of them didn't even eat breakfast. They went two miles out of the city, found a breakfast stall outside the city, and ordered soy milk and fried steamed buns to satisfy their hunger.
The two horses nearby were munching on food. They were also hungry!
This was the first time Wu Dan had experienced this kind of thing, and he was not happy at this moment. He bit into the fried cake and said angrily: "Young madam, you should not let such an unreasonable person go, you should give him a good beating.
"
Song Liyun looked at the crowds of people driving carts and carrying burdens and rushing into the city to make a living and said, "Wudan, every time the tribe moves its tents, do you go hunting rabbits halfway through?"
Wu Dan was stunned and quickly shook his head: "At that time, you have to pay attention to the sneak attacks of the surrounding wolves, and also pay attention to the lost lambs. How can you have time to hunt rabbits? If you want to eat rabbit meat, you have to wait until the camp is set up and the cattle and sheep return to the pen."
Song Liyun smiled: "We are on our way now. It is definitely not cost-effective to delay big things for these small things. When we have time in the future, it will not be too late to go back and teach them a lesson."
Wudan nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I'll teach them a lesson later."
Seeing that he understood the priorities, Song Liyun started eating seriously again.
After the two of them finished eating, packed their bags and were about to leave, a group of about ten people ran out from the direction of Songfeng County.
Those people questioned everyone on the road one by one, even the food stalls and arbors resting on the roadside.
In a blink of an eye, he came to Song Liyun's side and surrounded the two extremely handsome horses.
The leader was wearing an ocher official uniform and carried a waist knife. Several of his followers were holding water and fire sticks and iron chains, and they were all menacing.
The stall owner hurriedly came over, bowed to the leader and said, "Master Jiang, I gave the stall charcoal money yesterday."
The man pushed the stall owner away: "Get out of here, nothing will happen to you! Whose horse is this? Stand up!"
Song Liyun stood up slowly: "Jiang Captou, you are fine!"
Jiang Xingfan, who had resumed his position as head catcher, looked up after hearing the sound.
He only saw a woman wearing a crimson cloak, a lotus green trimmed waist and trousers, dark gray boots, and a white gauze covering her head and face, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
He frowned, as if he had heard this voice somewhere before: "Who are you, and does this horse belong to you?"
Song Liyun untied her gauze scarf and revealed her face: "Jiang, the noble man, forgets things a lot. This horse, Mrs. Song, a commoner woman, belongs to me."
"It's you!"
Seeing her face clearly, Jiang Xingfan's pupils shrank suddenly and he lost his voice.
He recognized this woman even if she turned into ashes, and a feeling of anger suddenly filled his heart.
When I came back from Qili County, I not only lost my job, but also received twenty blows and was kicked out of the county government office by the county magistrate Cao Jing.
The reason why it was a blessing in disguise was that Cao Jing's betrayal allowed him to avoid being implicated by Mr. Lin. Now he not only became the head catcher again, but also became close to the county magistrate.
But this can't erase the humiliation he suffered in Baolinju.
It was this woman who stabbed her throat with a stick of firewood. She was so frightened that she slashed with a knife. She was ridiculed by County Magistrate Jiang and kicked out of the county government office. She became a shadow in his heart that is still difficult to understand to this day.
When he thought of the weird hairy-faced monster in Baolinju and Song Liyun's keen skills, he took a few steps back and dodged into the crowd.
"Everyone, take action and catch her!"
Song Liyun raised his feet, holding the stool he was sitting on just now, and Wu Dan stood beside him holding a wooden stick.
Song Liyun said coldly: "What reason do you have for arresting people indiscriminately?"
What's the reason? Those detectives all turned back to look at Capt. Jiang.
How could this woman and her child be arrested for no reason?
Jiang Captou was hiding behind others, feeling a little embarrassed, but he did not come out. He just straightened his neck and shouted: "I suspect those two horses were stolen? She is a woman and a child, where did the handsome horses come from?"
What he said was so good that no one else could stand to hear it. One of the agents reminded him: "Captain Jiang, we are arresting fugitives, not looking for horses!"
Jiang Xingfan already had an idea at this time. He walked out of the crowd, looked at Song Liyun and said: "This police chief suspects that you are related to a theft last night. Now you are going to the county government for trial..."
Song Liyun didn't say much to him at all, and raised the stool in his hand...
Jiang Xingfan yelled, "A thief is committing murder and hurting people, let's all stand shoulder to shoulder!" After shouting, he backed away again.
However, the scene was a bit awkward. The stool that Song Liyun raised was just thrown to Wu Dan and put away, and it did not hurt anyone.
The few detectives froze in place. You looked at me and I looked at you, with confused expressions on their faces.
Did Mr. Jiang take the wrong medicine today? He shouted, beat and killed women and children for no reason.
A grain and oil store was robbed in the city last night. If you want to find out, it must be the man with the carriage.
Jiang Captou's face turned dark with embarrassment, and his mouth opened and closed but he didn't know what to say.
Song Liyun just wants to leave as soon as possible and doesn't care about Jiang Xingfan's provocation: "When a civilian woman first came to Songfeng County, she has no grudges against Mr. Jiang. I'm afraid this is a misunderstanding. Mr. Jiang, don't you think so?"
After a series of setbacks, Jiang Captou's mind also came to his senses.
Song Liyun had an extraordinary relationship with the Qili County Government. Even if he arrested her and went to jail, he would only suffer for a few days, and he would be blamed by the Songfeng County Magistrate.
These days, I have just attached myself to the county magistrate's brother-in-law, so I can't let him get involved again.
However, being stared at by passers-by and guards around him, Capt. Jiang found it difficult to step down for a while. His face turned red and white, and finally got out of the way: "This Capt. has admitted the wrong person. Let's go!"
With Song Liyun's teaching of "Don't hunt rabbits when you are doing business" in front of him, Wu Dan was able to calm down now. When he heard that he was allowed to go, he immediately led the horse over.
Song Liyun covered her face with a turban, got on her horse, and bowed her hands to Jiang Xingfan: "I have written down the friendship between Mr. Jiang today!" After that, the two horses galloped away without raising their whips!
Seeing Song Liyun's retreating figure, Jiang Xingfan seemed to have thought of something, gritted his teeth and whispered to the yamen servant next to him.
The yamen servant looked surprised, nodded repeatedly, and turned away.
