On this day, Jiang Cheng saw that the guards were not strict, so he took his bag and prepared to leave the city.
Because he hadn't taken care of himself for several days, the guards saw him looking unshaven and ragged, and just asked a few questions casually and let him out of the city.
Jiang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to lower his head to leave when he heard a voice coming from behind: "Wait, stop for me!"
Jiang Cheng's steps suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, turned slowly, and saw the yamen officer who had pointed to the notice and warned the people, coming over, while inquiring about the guards about the person who had left the city today, while looking at him.
.
"What are you doing, why do you want to leave the city today?"
"Sir, the young one is the farmer in the neighboring county. A big flood flooded all the farmland, the small one had nowhere to go, and lived a difficult life, so I wanted to go out of the city to seek refuge with my distant relatives..."
Jiang Cheng tried his best to answer in a low voice, unwilling to be caught by these people in the government in the end, and failed!
"Who are your relatives? Where are you living?" The yamen official did not seem to have planned to let him go, and continued to interrogate him.
Jiang Cheng had to give him a false conspiracy, took out the speech he had prepared long ago, and continued to explain: "The younger relative is also a master, who lives in the master's house, and said that the master is generous and asked the younger one to go over to help the servant, and the master must
I will take the little one in for the sake of the little one’s pity…”
"Is that? Who is the name of that master?"
"The young man is not very clear, he only knows that his surname is Li, and he is not too far from here..."
When he heard that the surname Li was not far away, the yamen officer quickly guessed who the master he was going to join, changed his previous cold face, and nodded with a sudden realization: "So it's Li!"
Jiang Cheng nodded with a smirk and waited for the yamen to let go, but a carriage drove towards the city gate at this time and slowly stopped.
"Mr. Song is so hardworking, he has been working hard recently..." A crisp and nice voice slowly came from the carriage.
The arrogant yamen official had already changed into a flattering smile and shook his head and replied: "I dare not take it, I dare not take it. These are all things that a humble job should do..."
He said a few words in a modest way, and asked again, "Are you going back?"
"Yes, my father is in poor health recently. I looked for medicine for him everywhere. Now I can find good medicine, so I will go back as soon as possible..."
"Since this is the case, you can go back soon!" The yamen officer dared not investigate the people in the carriage, and quickly ordered people to let go. Unexpectedly, the people in the carriage lifted the curtain and looked at Jiang Cheng who was still waiting for investigation:
"So it's you!"
The yamen official was stunned: "Do you know him?"
"I heard from the servants in the mansion that since you are here to join me, I will go back with me. After I go back, the mansion will arrange an errand for you!"
"Thank you, Miss!"
Although Jiang Cheng didn't understand why this beautiful lady wanted to help him, after hearing what she said, he thanked her gratefully according to her words.
The yamen officials did not dare to ask any more, and finally let Jiang Cheng go out of Leling County with the carriage.
It was not until a long time after leaving the city that the young woman sitting in the carriage jumped out of the carriage, looked at Jiang Cheng who had been following the carriage for a long time, and then asked thoughtfully: "Tell me, why did you lie just now
