The road to Jingzhou became much easier because she was accompanied by Ye Zhiqiu, Zhu Qian and others. Jian Xiao had been sitting in the carriage and had someone to take care of her. She no longer thought about the wanted matter and walked much faster on the road.
Jian Xiao looked at the scenery outside and thought, if everything goes well, he can arrive in Jingzhou early tomorrow morning.
Suddenly the carriage stopped, Jian Xiao opened the curtain and asked Zhu Qian, "Master Zhu, are you going to rest?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a long line of people taking pictures in front of him, as if they were waiting for something.
"Miss Jian Xiao, there seems to be something being investigated up front. I'll go over and take a look," Zhu Qian said.
Ye Zhiqiu also got off the carriage and took out a map, "This should be the last pass to Jingzhou. After passing here, you will go straight to the city gate."
Jian Xiao lowered his head and said nothing. If this was said, Zhang Yuan would definitely set up an inventory point here. Only by passing here can he reach Jingzhou safely.
After a while, Zhu Qian galloped over on his horse, his expression a little solemn.
"Master Zhu, is someone looking for me?" Jian Xiao was mentally prepared.
Zhu Qian nodded, "Exactly! The housekeeper blocked all the roads on the left and right, leaving only a narrow crossing. Only one carriage can pass at a time. When passing by, each carriage must be inspected, and each person must be inspected.
Ming Zhengshen, even my caravan is no exception."
"What about Jian Xiao?" Ye Zhiqiu said, "If we don't help her, she will definitely not be able to survive."
Zhu Qian frowned. A man wearing a guard's clothes rode over in the distance, shouting and running along the way, "Please pay attention to me! When you pass the border later, take out all your things and let us take a look."
clear"
Jian Xiao hurriedly turned away and quietly got on the carriage. Ye Zhiqiu suddenly waved to the guard, "Master, Master..."
The man stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ye Zhiqiu poured him a glass of water, "Thank you for your hard work, sir. It's such a dry day. Your throat is broken by shouting. Come and drink some water first."
The guard took the big bowl and drank it all in one gulp, "Don't tell me, you business people are still discerning. I've been struggling for several days and I haven't seen anyone show sympathy."
Ye Zhiqiu asked with a smile, "May I ask, sir, what are you checking?"
"Hey, it's not something! The main thing is to find someone!" The guard handed the water bowl to Ye Zhiqiu and turned to the door. "Who knows what else happened up there? How about looking for someone? I'll leave first..." After that, the guard continued.
run away
Jian Xiao heard it clearly from the carriage. Ye Zhiqiu walked up and said, "Jian Xiao, it seems they are just looking for you."
Jian Xiao nodded and packed her bags. Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly asked: "What are you doing?"
"I'm taking care of you all the way, and I'm lucky to be here. If they find out that I'm in your car, wouldn't that cause trouble for you?" Jian Xiao said, "I think I'd better leave first, we're almost there anyway."
"How can this work? We agreed to deliver it to the gate of your city, so how can we give up halfway?" Ye Zhiqiu became anxious when he heard that Jian Xiao was leaving.
"Isn't this also a hopeless solution? If..."
"Hey! You guys are really unreasonable. Why do you insist on opening my coffin to look at it? Who would hide something in this? When the time comes, we have agreed in advance that you can only look at it but not touch it. I just painted it now.
, if a little bit of skin falls off and no one wants it, I will send it to your house." A woman's aggressive voice came in from outside.
Jian Xiao opened the curtain to take a look and found that the guard was arguing with a woman. The woman had her hands on her hips and looked unreasonable. Just because of her little self, she had caused so many things.
Come
"Oh! I got it!" Ye Zhiqiu slapped his thigh
"What?" Jian Xiao asked
"There is a way for you to pass the test smoothly!" Ye Zhiqiu called to his men, "Quick, bring us Rouge and Supi."
Jian Xiao lay in the coffin and looked at Ye Zhiqiu, "Sir, does this trick work?"
"Leave it to me!" Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile, "Everyone, please perform well for me! If you perform well and pass, I will be rewarded heavily."
Jian Xiao sighed, this is all that can be done now. Seeing that he was about to reach the checkpoint, the lid of the coffin was closed. Jian Xiao only heard the sound of crying outside.
"Hey! What about you? I didn't hear anyone, open it all, open it all!" the guard yelled, "What's on your carriage?"
"My lord, this... my younger brother accidentally contracted leprosy and died while he was away. He has to go home and bury him!" Zhu Qian said, pretending to be sad.
The official opened the curtain of the carriage and there was a coffin inside. He asked doubtfully: "Really?"
Zhu Qian nodded, "He is only twenty. If you marry me before you are married, my parents will die early. This brother of mine is both a father and a mother..." As he spoke, he burst into tears again.
"Stop crying, stop crying!" the official said impatiently, "Are you hiding someone else here?"
Zhu Qian hurriedly said, "How is this possible?"
The official frowned and said, "Open the coffin for me!" He waved his hand and asked the people around him to come up and open it.
"My lord, the deceased is the greatest!" Zhu Qian stopped him.
"Go away!" The official pushed Zhu Qian, "If she really runs into the city, grandpa, I will be lying in the coffin. Brothers, pry it open for me!"
"Sir, leprosy is contagious. If you get it..." Zhu Qian shouted again
"Bah! Master, I still don't believe it!"
With a loud bang, the lid of the coffin was opened, and a fishy stench came from inside. Jian Xiao lay inside with her heart beating fast, fearing that something had happened. Everyone pinched their noses and looked inside, and saw a man lying inside with a disgraced face. The scary thing was
Wherever the skin can be seen on the face, hands and neck, it is covered with dense red spots, and some places seem to be festering.
"Damn! It's really leprosy!" The official frowned, "Hurry up and close the lid! Let's get out of here, this plague god!" The official waved his hands hurriedly, and the people who just pried off the coffin lid just looked at their own hands.
Worried about whether I will catch it
Zhu Qian hurriedly asked people to close the coffin lid, "I thank you, sir!" After saying that, he drove away in the carriage. He looked back at Ye Zhiqiu, who was sitting in the carriage behind, and smiled slightly.
"Oh, gentlemen, we are just here to do business. These are our goods. Take a look." Ye Zhiqiu greeted them with a smile.
Arriving at a secluded forest, Zhu Qian hurriedly opened the coffin. A man climbed out, took out a wooden board, and helped Jian Xiao up under the wooden board. "Miss Jian Xiao, are you okay? Didn't I crush you?"
"
Jian Xiao shook her head and breathed in the air, "Ahem, what did you stuff in here? Why is it so smelly?"
"Hey," Zhu Qian said with a smile, "for the sake of realism, all the dead rabbits and pheasants were placed inside. Haha, I didn't expect that it was really fooled."
Jian Xiao smiled and said, "I really didn't expect you to put another person on top of me. I asked why it was so heavy. When I heard that the coffin was going to be opened, I was really shocked. Thank you very much this time."
