Chapter 44: Moving in unison
It was noon after this time, and the sky gradually became cloudy.
On the muddy village road that was walking up the river, I saw a black dot vaguely rushing towards me. When I got closer, I could hear the sound of horse hooves. At this moment, Bai Muqiu had been standing on the river bank for about two hours.
He rode from a distance. The man on the horse was wearing a soap coat and a knife tied with a waist. He looked like a constable in the yamen. When he was approaching, he saw a young man about fifteen or sixteen standing in the middle of the road. He couldn't help but whine in a hurry, pulling the reins and stopping.
The wooden stick standing high on the river bank attracted his attention at the first time. It was a palace robe embroidered with green python patterns. Although there were many places that were tattered, it did not prevent him from being shocked. He immediately took out a piece of drawing paper from his arms, stared at the painting carefully and compared it with the man on the road. He immediately turned over and dismounted like a panic, and rolled and crawled to Bai Muqiu's feet. "Eunuch Bai is really auspicious person who has his own appearance. The young man finally found you."
Bai Muqiu nodded, "Why are you the only one?"
The constable from the Xiangzhou Yamen quickly said, "Report to the father-in-law, Commander Hai is looking for the upper reaches of the river with the prefect of Xiangzhou. Since you are looking for your father-in-law, please go back with Bei Zhi."
"Our family has internal injuries and cannot ride a horse." Bai Muqiu waved his hand and said, "You can call them over quickly, and our family will wait for them to come in Chenjia Village."
Hearing this, the constable immediately bowed and said nothing more. He turned over and returned to the original path at a very fast speed. It was obvious that the speed of running was much faster than before.
Looking at the back of flying away, Bai Muqiu didn't know what he was thinking.
.....
Xiangzhou City
A man with half eyebrows flashed into a dark street and alley, and gently knocked on a wooden door a few times. The door opened a crack, revealing half of his face. It seemed that after recognizing someone, he opened it a little more and let the people outside the door come in.
"Qingpi, be careful." The person who opened the door reminded the person who came in.
This man with half-brows is a casual man who teased Xifu and was beaten up by Bai Muqiu. His nickname is Qingpi. As for Daming, he probably forgot even himself. Anyway, those who know him in Xiangzhou don’t know what his surname or name is.
Qingpi raised her eyebrows, covered her face with a bruise, and said disdainfully: "I'm here to give money to Mr. Deng San."
"Oh, are you rich? Then come in and invite me." The man in the door immediately became polite and pushed him in.
Qingpi proudly patted the clothes woven in rough fabric. When she walked through the corridor, she heard the bustling inside. What caught her eye was a hall with three or five large tables, surrounded by people shouting and blushing, her eyes full of bloodshot yelling.
After walking around, Qingpi looked at the dice that was gambling on the table with jealousy. When she thought that she had some serious work, she put away her mind and ran to the second floor. The two arms standing at the stairs blocked him. Qingpi smiled and said, "Two brothers, inform the third master, and said Qingpi is here to pay off the debt."
The two people guarding the stairs looked at each other, and one of them said coldly: "Wait."
Then he went upstairs, pushed a private room and walked in. After a while, he came out. However, a bald man with bearded head followed him, playing with a pair of iron guts in his hand, staring at Qingpi with a fierce look, and said, "Just hand the money to the manager forever."
Qingpi rubbed her hands and said flatteringly: "The third master is still majestic, the little one looks so happy. This... this... It's true that the little one comes to pay off his debt today, but it's not real money."
Mr. Deng laughed and said, "That's what valuable goods he stole and paid them back? Or did he kidnap a daughter who wants to sell them to pay off the debt? If so, take them out."
Qingpi looked around in a dilemma, "I can only tell you this to the third master in person."
"……………” Mr. Deng pondered for a moment and waved to him.
"Come up."
………………
Outside the city, a hundred or so men left the city gate lightly, holding a guy in their hands, looking for revenge, which attracted people to avoid the crowd. A man riding a horse in front of him, lowered his head and asked, "Qingpi, do you think that treasure is real? It's neither gold nor iron nor jade? There are also eagles and evil dogs?"
Qingpi nodded fiercely, "Third Master, I saw it with my own eyes and touched it with my own hands. That thing is very strange, it must be a great treasure."
"Well, it's enough to be a baby. It's really as you said. That money will be exempted from the money you want, and I'll give you the money you want."
Qingpi was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked her, and her steps were much lighter.
After walking for a while, Mr. Deng suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted, "I almost forgot a big thing." Then, he quickly turned around and said, "Qingpi, I'll go to find that person first, and bring that token first. I have a distinguished guest here after finishing my errand today and leaving Xiangzhou to return to SDZC County. Why do you have to do the landlords? Otherwise, the saying in the world that I, Deng Laosan, neglected the distinguished guest, will not make people laugh in the future?"
"What kind of distinguished guest?" Qingpi asked curiously.
Mr. Deng waved his hand, "I'm just talking about the matter in the world. You don't know anything about it. Take a dozen people over quickly. I'll come when I get a distinguished guest."
Qingpi nodded repeatedly, no longer inquire. She quickly ordered more than a dozen people to follow him and walked towards Chenjia Village.
………………
At the same time.
A constable rode a horse along the river bank and arrived at a carriage. He immediately jumped down, knelt on the ground and shouted, "Master Qi, I have found Eunuch Bai."
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a white, fat and beardless face. He said in a sharp and hoarse voice: "Can you see clearly?"
"I have seen it clearly, and I have the palace robe." The constable affirmed.
At this time, a fierce man with a golden gourd hammer stared at the big copper bell's eyes and shouted: "Then why don't you lead the way quickly. If it's too late, be careful that Master Jin will smash your head with a hammer." After that, he jumped onto the horse and bowed: "Master Commander, let's go on the road immediately. Find Eunuch Bai as soon as possible, and we can also handle the job as soon as possible."
"That's the reason." The person in the frame agreed and lowered the curtain.
The Han immediately rushed forward to greet the soldiers of the imperial guards on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, "I know where Eunuch Bai is, I inform the Hejian Army to stop searching for the time being. Now everyone will go with me."
After saying that, he asked the constable to lead the way, and followed him with more than a hundred imperial guards and cavalry soldiers, quickly chased after him. In a blink of an eye, he walked a hundred meters away. According to the distance, he would definitely arrive within an hour and a half.
............
Outside Xiangzhou City.
"Brother Gongming, when I go back this time, I, Deng Laosan, don't know how long it will take to meet again. Why don't I just send my brother a trip?"
A man with dark skin and medium figure in Wenru clasped his fists and said, "You and I are not far apart, but Gongming still has an official position and is not allowed to leave his post without permission. If your brother misses you, come to Yuncheng to find me. At this time, Mr. Deng has already sent him far away, so let's leave."
"Brother Gongming is not there. Some family is going to go out of the city to seek justice for a brother. Today, my brother was very curious when he saw an object, so he wanted to borrow it to play. Unexpectedly, the other party refused and beat my brother. He happened to be on the same journey with his brother."
The dark-skinned Wenru man stroked his beard and said, "There is a murderer who is in broad daylight and the world is coming down from the bright sky? It's just right that Mr. Song can go and have a look."
"Haha, please Brother Gongming!"
