A red apricot climbs the wall

Chapter 7 Trouble

In the morning of the second day, Su Siman sent Qingran to Yao's Buzhuang to get clothes, but he didn't see Qingran return. Su Siman couldn't help but worry about whether something had happened to her.

The four brothers of Jiahezhe waited a little furryly. Although they didn't say anything, they didn't know how many times they walked back and forth in the corridor of the inn. Su Siman was also anxious and told them to wait a moment and then she went to have a look. By the way, Ding Xiaoqiang was also taken away, intending to let him change his new clothes directly in Buzhuang. This time, Ding Xiaoqiang grew up and held his big knife in his hand.

When the two arrived at Buzhuang, they found that the gate of Buzhuang was closed and did not open at all.

"Sister Su, what's going on?" Ding Xiaoqiang looked at the two tightly closed doors with puzzled faces.

"I don't know." Su Siman was also full of doubts and confused, "Let's go to the store next to us and ask."

With that, Su Siman walked to the noodle restaurant next to Buzhuang, and Ding Xiaoqiang also followed her closely.

It was still early. The owner of the noodle restaurant was preparing, and there were no guests in the store.

Su Siman approached and asked politely, "Boss, when will the Buzhuang next door open?"

"Girl, it's not a coincidence that Yao has opened the door before. Not long ago, she went in a girl and was tied up by Yao and her husband and sent to the government. I guess it's time to come back later. You might as well wait in the shop."

"What? Send it to the government?!" Su Siman was shocked.

"Yes, it looks very similar. Yao's husband worked as a messenger in the government office. Seeing that the couple tied the girl up and sent her to the government.

"Where is the government, boss?" Su Siman's face was full of anxiety.

"Go straight ahead, turn left when you see the alley, go straight for about a cup of tea, and then turn right."

"Thank you, boss." Su Siman thanked him and immediately pulled Ding Xiaoqiang out of the noodle restaurant.

As soon as I got out of the restaurant, I saw a group of sergeants coming towards me, kicking and taping, which was very loud. A leader kept urging: "Hurry up! Run away from one, I'll ask you!"

Su Siman's heart is tight. Is it aimed at his own people? At present, he did not dare to show fear and panic. He stood by the roadside with Ding Xiaoqiang and made Ding Xiaoqiang hide his knife behind him in a low voice. The officers and soldiers did not doubt and quickly passed by them.

"Sister Su," seeing that the officers and soldiers had gone far away, Ding Xiaoqiang gently shook Su Siman's arm, "What's going on?"

"I... I don't know..." Su Siman's heart was in a mess.

"So what should we do now? Those officers and soldiers are not here to catch us, are they?" Ding Xiaoqiang asked timidly.

"It's a mess, let me think about it." Su Siman only felt a cloud in front of him and couldn't see through it for a moment.

It seems that the Zhou must have been playing tricks yesterday. He is really lustful. This time I lay down and got shot again.

Let's go back to the inn first. If those officers and soldiers really went for them, it means that someone must have followed them last night.

At present, the two hurried back to the inn and saw that the inn had been surrounded by officers and soldiers from afar. Outside, they could hear the sound of fighting and the sound of tables and chairs being broken. Er, in the chaos, they even heard the shopkeeper asking them out to fight. The shopkeeper was so brave!

The two hid not far from the inn and came out from behind the wall from time to time to watch.

The sergeants guarding outside the door were expressionless and motionless. Su Siman was thinking about how to distract their attention and meet the four brothers. As she was thinking about it, she heard Jiahezhe's loud and rough voice. She didn't know what to say, and Herza also responded a few times. Soon, he heard a loud noise and the sound of horses' hoofs was messy and rapid. Su Siman looked nervously and saw four horses rushing out, blowing through the encirclement of the dull sergeant like a whirlwind. Ga Hezhe came out of the window directly from the second floor and landed on the back of the last horse. The horse was running quickly, with its hooves so high that it seemed to want to turn him upside down. He held the horse's mane in one hand and a machete in the other hand, and cut down four nearby officers and soldiers to the ground like cutting melons and vegetables. At this time, the soldiers guarding outside suddenly reacted and shouted, "Catch them!" Don't let them run away!" However, two legs can't run more than four legs. Several people who had fought in it before also chased out and rode on horseback to chase.

In less than a moment, most of the soldiers in front of the inn have been evacuated, with only a few people left.

Su Simman looked at the direction of the officers and soldiers chasing him and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"Sister Su, beard, won't they just leave us and run away?" Ding Xiaoqiang also stared at the crowded direction of the crowd, and his face was a little confused and sad.

"Oh, I don't think so." Su Siman sighed again. The following sentence, "Probbe they also think it's too cumbersome to take us on the road, so they just left us alone" didn't say anything.

"I don't think we can live in that inn. Sister Su, our things are still in it. Do you think the shopkeeper will ask us to compensate for those things that are broken?" Ding Xiaoqiang raised his little face and asked seriously.

This reminds Susman that it's going to be bad! Everything is still in the bag! Her gold and silver are still in the inn! Thinking of this, Su Siman sweated all over her head, and she only brought a little broken silver. Usually, the money was put in Qingran's place. When Qingran went to get her clothes, she put gold, silver and so on in the bag.

She sweated coldly, and Ding Xiaoqiang stretched his neck and still paid attention to the movement of the inn. At this time, he pulled Su Siman's sleeve again and couldn't hide his surprise: "Sister Su, isn't that your burden?"

As soon as Su Siman heard this, he also looked at it quickly and saw a man holding a flower burden in his hand, bulging. Seeing that his gesture seemed to be not light - it was Su Siman's burden of gold and silver.

A man and soldier of Feng came forward with a hippie smile at the door and said with a smile, "Song Dunzi, what are you doing with a woman's burden in your hand? Aren't you afraid of jokes?"

The officers and soldiers called Song Dunzi's faces sank and had a serious black face: "Erqizi, you know nothing! These are all evidence!"

"What evidence?" The two-man's face was also full of seriousness. After all, he didn't pretend to be like him, and he clearly wrote the word curiosity on his face.

"This group of people are so bold that they dare to steal the gold paid tribute to the court. This time, they asked the lord of the state government to catch it. Your eldest brother searched for these stolen goods, and naturally made great contributions. Just wait for me to polish shoes for my brother, hehe.

"Really?!" The two men seem to believe and distrust.

"Of course it's true. The gold in this bag is exactly the same as the gold my sister received last night. It can't be fake. This matter was also revealed by my brother-in-law and reported to the state government. If our Lord Huang solves this big case, my brother-in-law will be a great achievement. This time, my brother-in-law will be promoted.

"No way? That group of people just now is the main perpetrator of the recent 'gold theft case' that shocked the whole country? The two-stard man's mouth was so open that he could stuff two eggs, and his eyes were about to fall off.

"Definite!" Song Dunzi looked confident and very firm.

The more Su Siman listened, the more he sweated. At present, it seems that the complexity of the matter is far from as simple as Master Zhou's forced occupation of Qingran.

They have heard about the gold theft case that shocked the whole country on the way.

This big case happened half a month ago.

The Liang Dynasty has inherited a year-old tribute system. The county vassals and state governments have to pay tribute to the court at the end of the year. Some of the tributes are returned to the treasury, and some are recorded in the palace for the royal family to enjoy. The name and quantity of tribute are based on the economic strength of each state and county. For example, Dong County is adjacent to the sea, rich in sea salt and is the richest in fish, so the number of tributes at the time of tribute is much more than in other states and counties, and there are many pearls and emeralds and other things. For example, Jiaozhou is rich in phosphorus, and most of the thrushes used by concubines in the palace come from here. Bingzhou is rich in gold and transports a large amount of gold to the treasury every year. This kind of gold is divided into two categories. Due to the different patterns on the two kinds of gold, one is called official patterns, which is directly charged to the state treasury, and the other is specially sent to the palace, which is called holy patterns.

It is said that this time, the army escorting gold from Bingzhou was attacked near Tuocheng, and all ten boxes of gold were lost, and the whereabouts are still not clear. And half a month has passed, and the government has not been able to find any trace of the mysterious thieves.

Tuocheng is less than a thousand miles away from Pingyan City, the capital of South County. If the thieves fled to Pingyan City, it is indeed reasonable.

Su Siman only felt a headache, chest tightness and lactic acid egg pain.

If I had known that the gold brought out of the palace was different from the gold circulating on the market, I didn't need gold yesterday! Su Siman regretted not falling, but it had happened and it was too late to regret. Alas, it's time to go back.

"Brother Dunzi, you should help your brothers more in the future!" The two men flattered and came closer, "Can you show me what these gold look like, Brother Dunzi? I haven't seen gold in my old age!"

"Good to say, good to say." Song Dunzi proudly shook off the bag and picked up an ingot of gold in front of him. "Do you see the pattern on the bottom? This is an auspicious flame, which is only available to the royal family. This gold is a sacred pattern at first glance.

"Brother Dunzi, you are so awesome!" The two men looked admiring.

"Okay, let's go back to recover." Song Dunzi raised his eyebrows at several other officers and soldiers and said, "You guys stay here and arrest them when you see the woman and the child. Do you hear me?"

A few soldiers quickly became submissive.

Su Siman, who was hidden behind the wall, realized that it was judged from the gold decoration. Why didn't she feel anything unusual when she saw the decoration in the past? I thought it was made for decoration. It looks good. Such an oversight has caused trouble. It's really not worth it, cough! Unfortunately, the husband of the boss's wife of Buzhuang is working in the government, otherwise it would not be so unlucky.

I really don't know why I and Ding Xiaoqiang are also targeted, and the inn can't go back. It must be a good thing for a purulent face! This color blank! It fell into her Su Siman's hands another day, and she had to peel his skin!

I bumped into a bunch of ghosts!
