Chapter 93 Silent departure
"You are not cruel enough."
The wind was blowing, the oil lamps in the tent swayed, Bai Muqiu wrote a memorial in front of the desk, and five people sat in succession, Cao Shaoqin, Yuhuatian, Gao Duannian, Yang Zhi and Hai Dafu, who were searching and chasing Liangshan defeated soldiers, sat there, quietly, without saying a word, listening to the man at the desk.
The hand holding the pen wrote, a wisp of silver thread slid down his shoulders with his movements. His voice was cold and his eyes were focused. "He did things decisively, but he was too confident and eager to show his wisdom. People... need to come step by step, especially those who are castrated. Only by supporting each other can they go further and more steadily."
"We are His Majesty's servants and royal servants, it's time to do something dirty." The pen hovered, and his eyes were staring at the swaying fire, with a blurred look. "But we are injured, we can only hide in a corner where the sun cannot shine, licking the wound. The next day, we still smiled and faced the ridicule and abuse of others, and even beaten. There is a forging furnace in Chongqing Gate, which is the place for us. If we live out of the royal wall, we will end up miserably. Now--"
His eyes swept across the face of everyone in the account, and his tone gradually grew higher, "——I have finally asked for a yamen from Your Majesty to offer us to be human, even if it is still a vicious dog in the eyes of others, but after all, we are walking with our chests raised like humans, and we don't have to bow down when we see any big shots. Therefore, this governor will never allow anyone to destroy it, slander it, and protect His Majesty. I will continue like this. If I let this governor know that someone is holding power in his hands, he will have no idea. At that time, our family will take out his heart and crush it."
An unknown little insect outside was roaring, the fire in the tent swayed, and the dark yellow light was rays.
The cold voice, one word, one word, one word is nailed to their hearts.
Under the white hair, the man was gloomy and terrifying.
Suddenly, the sky under the day suddenly flashed, rumbling - the spring thunder broke out.
............
The heavy rain all night, the next day, the streets of Yuncheng seemed quite dirty, with mud footprints everywhere. A luxurious carriage was running on the main road, dozens of soap-clothed robes followed around, trotting in neat steps, the handle of the knife around his waist hit, and a faint smell of blood was emitted from the scabbard.
The army had already begun to prepare for the camp. Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng and others left first, and the infantry and the baggage followed. At this time, the team was Bai Muqiu's way back to the county government. In the carriage, Bai Sheng and Chen were stroking the decorations and exquisite carvings in the wings. Naturally, there were some shouting and shouting, which was incompatible with Bai Muqiu who was closed and resting.
As we arrived, the carriage was parked at the county government gate. Bai Muqiu stepped down on the stool, and Long Yuehu Stepped and took several people in. Bai Sheng and Chen also wanted to step on the back of the monk, but they almost stepped on the air. Chen was so angry that he cursed: "You dog slave, you look down on us. My husband is your chief brother. If you believe it or not, let him chop you up, come and lie down."
The man turned around and left without expression, ignoring the two people at all. Hai Dafu came over and bowed, "Don't blame me for my elder brother and sister-in-law. This treatment is only worthy of the governor, and the rest of the people are not even in this thousand households."
"This... is like this." Chen stroked his hair, feeling quite embarrassed, and then urged his husband to go down and help her quickly.
The two of them followed into the county government. Bai Muqiu passed the front hall and entered the back hall, frowned slightly, and looked at the deserted back hall. Although there were many guards, there were a lot less. He walked into the yard suspiciously, but he didn't see the silly girl rushing over. Instead, he saw what the third sister Bai Di and Xiao Ping'er were saying. When Bai Muqiu stood in the yard, he couldn't help panic.
"I am not here, something seems to have happened."
Bai Muqiu stared at them, and his doubts became heavier and he glanced at the surroundings. There was no trace of cherishing blessings. He suddenly felt panic in his heart, and a bad premonition was brewing.
"Where are you cherishing your blessing?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ping'er and his third sister Bai Di trembled for a moment and hurried out of the eaves. Xiao Ping'er immediately knelt down. The third sister Bai Di also knelt down with a bent kneel, but was pulled up by Bai Muqiu and shouted coldly: "You are now confused. I am your brother. Even if I kneel down, you are not allowed to kneel down to me."
Then he stared at Xiao Ping'er, "Where are the madam?"
"Madam, she...she...is gone." Xiao Ping'er shivered.
Bai Muqiu's pupils shrank, and his heart suddenly suffocated. Then anger rose suddenly and he slashed on the rockery next to him. With a bang, a large rock half a person tall burst out and several cracks broke out, and broken stones flew everywhere. Bai Di and Bai Sheng and his wife who had just entered the door were so scared that they shrank on the spot, not knowing what had happened.
"Why didn't you notify us earlier, huh?" Bai Muqiu felt empty at this time, but he was trembling with anger.
At this time, the third sister Bai Di held Xiao Ping'er and looked up and said, "Brother... it's not her business. In fact, Xifu has been absent-minded recently. My sister thought she missed you. She often said that she heard someone talking to her in her dreams and knew a lot of things, but she was a fool after all. She couldn't speak completely. My sister and Xiao Ping'er didn't know what she wanted to say."
Bai Muqiu breathed, tried his best to calm down, and squeezed out three words coldly, "What?"
"Madam is gone." Xiao Ping'er's eyes suddenly turned red, "I disappeared early this morning. The guard saw the wife going out and thought she would go out for a walk. She didn't know that she had never come back yet. There was a spy in the city that said that she had seen a man who looked like a wife and left the East City Gate. Ping'er had already sent out all those who could be sent out in the yamen, but she hadn't come back now."
"Everyone goes out to find the governor. Even if the entire Yuncheng and Jeju are turned over, they will find the governor."
Bai Muqiu tried his best to control the anger in his heart, suppressed it, and went out with his sleeves. Even the Bai Sheng and his wife who had just followed him no longer paid attention to it and left the yamen. Before the stories were dispersed, Hai Dafu, Gao Duannian and others saw him come out, and quickly bowed.
"Sir, what else do you have to give?"
"Everything goes out of the East City Gate, and a check will be set up along the road. Anyone who looks similar to the wife will be cut off by this supervisor and will be distinguished by you."
Hai Dafu and the other two hurriedly bowed, summoned all the callable characters in the city, rushed out of the East City Gate, and searched all over the road.
Bai Muqiu looked at the afternoon sky and asked someone to lead a horse and turn it over.
He rushed straight out of the east gate, and the scenes around him were sprinting backwards, recalling the scene when he parted in front of Xifu Yamen before: Xifu tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "When I was dreaming... I seemed to hear someone saying a lot of words in Xifu's ears."
Considering what Bai Di said today, Bai Muqiu's face became colder and colder, and his eyes were full of violence. It was obvious that people were making trouble behind the scenes, but who was... who was it?
In the sunshine after the rain, Bai Muqiu stopped horses, standing on a hillside, looking at the green and rolling forests around him, suddenly he didn't know where to go to find the silly girl.
"I should care about you very much... Don't worry... This time my husband comes to find you. No matter how far away he is, he will find you. No matter who uses you, he will definitely pull him out and tear him to pieces."
He thought, and pulled down the hill, continued to walk on the mountain road and ran.
He had a premonition that Xifu, the silly girl, would not leave for no reason, and would definitely be nearby.
.........
"Wait for me - cherish your blessings"
The wet wind blew, and the clouds dissipated...
