Suddenly I heard someone shouting: "Someone is coming."
Qing Huan looked over and saw a few ordinary people.
"What are you shouting about?" Fengxiang County Prime Minister scolded his subordinates, "Are these people acting suspiciously?"
After the county magistrate finished speaking, he looked at Xu Qinghuan with a smile on his face: "Miss, those people transporting the money are coming soon. If they pass by here and no one comes to meet them, should we arrest them?"
The prefect ordered them to listen to Miss Anyi Houfu, but if these evidences were lost, the crime would not fall on Miss Xu.
As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, he noticed that Xu Qinghuan stood up and walked towards the official road, stopping in front of several passers-by.
Among the people on the way, a child looked Xu Qinghuan up and down for a long time before exclaiming: "Hey... you... you are the kind person who cooked meat for me at Shitou's house. Why are you here? You have to leave too."
Is Feng soaring?"
"No," Xu Qinghuan saw the green cloth bag on the child's shoulder, "Where are you going?"
The child had a smile on his face: "Let's find a place to make a living," he said in a lowered voice, "Good man, I'm just telling you, my man has ambitions everywhere, so don't try to keep me here anymore."
Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but smile when the little person said these words. That night at Shitou's home, even though she only spent a moment with the child, she had already discovered his intelligence.
He looks very weak, but he is very thoughtful and thoughtful. He seems to be more confident at this moment.
"We are on our way," the child bowed and saluted, "we still need to find a place to rest before dark."
Xu Qinghuan watched them move forward: "You have been in Fengxiang for so many years, why do you suddenly want to leave?"
Mentioning this matter, the child's eyes lit up and he walked back to Xu Qinghuan: "To be honest with you, we met an old god a few days ago. He said that we have great ambitions, and in the future we will not be able to say anything, but we will be like... those carp swimming upstream.
, even if you don’t go to the Dragon Gate, you still have to live a spirited life. Staying in a ruined temple like this would be... it would be... in short, you will miss the best age.
It's better to go out and have a try, maybe you'll have the chance to meet me."
Divination, old fairy.
Xu Qinghuan thought of Zhang Zhenren's enigmatic appearance: "Is the old immortal you are talking about a Taoist priest?"
The child nodded in surprise: "Can a good person also do fortune-telling?"
Xu Qinghuan said: "Did he gain anything by telling you this?"
"Of course it's necessary," the child said seriously, "otherwise it wouldn't be effective."
Looking at the old clothes on the child, Xu Qinghuan whispered: "What did you give him?"
The child took off the green cloth bag on his body, took out a folded river lantern and put it in Xu Qinghuan's hand: "On weekdays, we fold some river lanterns in exchange for some food. This is the river lantern I gave to the old fairy.
"
Zhang Zhenzhen, who goes around swindling money, wants a river lantern?
Xu Qinghuan asked: "Where is that old immortal?"
The child said: "You left a long time ago, we sent you out of the city." After that, he smiled and said, "Good man, will we meet again in the future?"
Xu Qinghuan did not answer but said: "What is your name?"
The child said clearly: "My name is Junsheng."
Xu Qinghuan watched Junsheng walking further and further away, as if she had heard of this name in her previous life.
The road became quiet again.
Master Zhang has left. Is her guess really wrong?
"Sir, the car is here." The officer reported to the county magistrate.
Several cars slowly appeared in everyone's sight. On the cars were the boxes brought by Mr. Xu San from Cao's house. The cars looked very heavy, and the people pulling them seemed to be struggling.
The silver was already in front of me, but there was still no movement.
Could it be that she was not careful enough and he noticed it.
Or she guessed wrong, there was no one behind Master Xu San at all.
Zhang Zhenren did not come here just for the money.
…
On the mountain not far from Guan Road, Song Chengxuan stood there.
"I was originally planning to let the bandits take action... I robbed the bandits again. I knew that the money was evidence, and I would leave some money for them to close the case," Zhang Zhenren said with a grimace on his face.
The things in front of me became a hot potato, "I think about her wholeheartedly. Who knew that this girl is so cruel that she has people here waiting to catch her? So don't we want the money?"
Song Chengxuan raised his head and his eyes became brighter: "I am somewhat interested in the money. I have to take what I got."
…
While Xu Qinghuan was thinking about it, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from far to near.
Those who were transporting silver for Mr. Xu San were obviously in a panic, and they all stopped and looked around.
The government officials who were lying in ambush everywhere also pressed the handle of the knife with their hands.
Several riders shuttled through the woods, but they seemed to be riding on an official road without any influence. The leader looked to be in his mid-twenties, with sharp edges, a dark complexion, and a pair of sharp eyes like unsheathed ones.
He was armed with a sharp weapon, wearing armor, and dressed like a garrison officer.
The county magistrate beside Qing Huan couldn't help but be surprised: "This is Mr. Wu Qian from Fengxiang Guards."
As if they noticed something unusual around them, the people around Mr. Wu Qian picked up their crossbows and pointed at the Yamen who were ambushing next to them.
"Wait a minute, it's all a misunderstanding."
The magistrate of Fengxiang County hurriedly spoke: "President Wu Qian, we are here to arrest the cadre who committed the crime on the order of the magistrate."
As soon as the officer finished speaking, those delivering the boxes dropped their carts one after another and tried to flee deeper into the woods.
The people around Mr. Wu Qian immediately got off their horses and stepped forward to stop several people. The Yamen officials did not show any weakness and stepped forward with their swords in hand.
"What a coincidence," Mr. Wu Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, "I just set up a den of thieves and was about to catch the bandit leader. I passed by here... I can help you."
The officer was about to step forward to say thank you.
Mr. Wu Qian jumped off his horse and looked at the boxes in front of him with his dark eyes: "What are these?"
"Silver." The officer immediately responded.
President Wu Qian seemed to be very surprised and pointed with his finger: "Are these all silver?" He strode forward and opened the box unceremoniously.
The silver in the boxes made Mr. Wu Qian's eyes shine. He couldn't help but open all the boxes, and kept counting things with his fingers.
The more I looked at him, the happier I became.
"Sir Wang Yun is really a good man," Mr. Wu Qian no longer kept a serious face, and immediately showed a bit of a rogue, "What a coincidence, we are short of money for military supplies in the defense, and now we are very happy
A war is about to begin, and the Ministry of Revenue has said that except for the taxes and silver that must be paid every year, all the rest can be used as military supplies."
After years of fighting and winning battles, these people have long been red-eyed.
The smile of the county magistrate gradually faded: "When we are involved in the case, and the commander-in-chief reports to the court, won't this money be..."
His words were not as quick as Mr. Wu Qian's.
"The county magistrate is wrong to say this. We obviously found this silver." Mr. Wu Qian carefully closed the lid of the box, and the officers and soldiers around him immediately moved the box away and put it on horseback.
No, this is wrong.
The county magistrate has already reacted: "Mr. Qian, Mr. Wu Qian, you can't take this. This is stolen property. We catch people and steal the stolen goods. We have to go to court for the things. You can't do this... We can't explain it to the magistrate."
"How dare I touch this money at will," Mr. Wu Qian said with a smile, "I will send it to the Yamen for liquidation, and then report it to the court and keep this money for military supplies."
The county magistrate's eyes widened. He didn't understand how these things ended up in someone else's arms. He couldn't help but turn to Miss Xu for help.
Xu Qinghuan raised his head and looked around, and saw a hill not far away.
