Chapter 54 Rescue
Mei Hongzhi has been so busy these two days that his mouth is bubbling, and his immediate boss is gone. If Wen Yu really has any troubles, they will all be punished accordingly.Moreover, Wen Yu was his close friend, so he didn't want anything to happen to her.
Just when Mei Hongzhi was dealing with official duties and was preparing to write a letter to report, the guards outside came in and told him that someone asked to see him.
Mei Hong ordered the person to be brought in. It turned out to be the gatekeeper of the north gate. Mei Hongzhi patiently asked him what he wanted to report. Robert, just now he released his family out of the city without verification, and this is an extraordinary period, this person is probably going to ruin a major event in the county!"
After hearing this, Mei Hongzhi's face was serious, and he asked someone to bring Luo Bei over.
Robert walked into the house anxiously, and when he saw the doorman, he felt a "thump" in his heart. Mei Hongzhi asked him if there was any such thing, and Robert said there was absolutely no such thing.
"My lord! He lied! The silver that the family gave him is still in his arms! We have never seen such a large ingot of silver! My lord, you can find it if you search it!" The people on the side jumped out to expose the accusation.
Now Mei Hongzhi can also see it. It is probably just that the two gatekeepers are at odds, using this as a raft to suppress each other.He was quite impatient, but now that he had reached this point, he simply settled the matter and asked him to hand over the money.
Robert couldn't hide it anymore, so he handed over the money tremblingly, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.Mei Hongzhi's heart was full of anger, when did a group of idiots make trouble for him!He took a rough look at Yinzi, "Huh? Why does this look so familiar?" He suddenly realized something, stood up all of a sudden, and anxiously ordered outside to invite Master Xu to come over.
Xu Jing hadn't had a lot of rest for two days, and hurried to hear the news from Mei Hongzhi.
Mei Hongzhi pointed to the ingot of silver and said firmly: "This must be the clue left by the county magistrate."
Xu Jing was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"
Mei Hongzhi explained: "Before the mansion sent some official silver for disaster relief, Mr. Wen ordered them to be remelted. Afterwards, he saw that the ingot of silver had a special shape, so he exchanged it with his own."
Seeing that Xu Jing was silent, he urged: "Master Xu, it's not too late, let's go after them!"
Xu Jing shook his head: "It's been several hours now, and the crowd is so vast that I don't know where they are going." Then he asked the two gatekeepers if they still remembered the names of the group of people.
Luo Bei was eager to take the blame and make meritorious service, so he said first: "I remember, the girl among them is Jiao Wanniang, who is from this county."
Mei Hongzhi suddenly recalled: "I know, Mrs. Wen was still handling this case a few days ago, and Jiao Wanniang lives in the east of the city."
After hearing this, Xu Jing led his subordinates to search without saying a word, and finally everyone found the note left by Wen Yu in the cellar, with the four words "Bai Lian De Yang" written on it.
Mei Hongzhi saw that the soles of his feet felt chilly: "Those gangsters are actually members of the White Lotus Sect! Isn't that Mrs. Wen's ominous situation!"
On the contrary, Xu Jing regained his previous composure: "Since Zhengqing was able to set up this situation, it means that he is not in too much danger. I will take people to Deyang County now, and trouble Master Mei to preside over the overall situation here." Mei Hongzhi nodded solemnly.
Talking about Wen Yu on the other hand, I feel that I have done what I should do, and I can only resign myself to the rest.
Regarding the matter of going to Deyang, Jiao Qishan and the others didn't feel anything wrong. In their eyes, the White Lotus Sect was omnipotent, so it was normal to have a stronghold in Deyang.
Along the way, Wen Yu maintained his unfathomable image while talking to Wanniang Yu seven times. The two of them were obviously not as deep in the city as Jiao Qishan, and they immediately became close to Wen Yu.
"Brother Wen, come over for dinner." Wan Niang smiled shyly.
Wen Yu responded and walked to Wan Niang's side: "Thanks for your hard work, Mrs. Chai. You have worked hard these days. If you need any help in the future, just call me."
Wan Niang frowned: "Since I have reconciled with Chai Yusi, don't call me Mrs. Chai from now on, just call me by my name."
Wen Yu hesitated, Wan Niang bit her lip when she saw him being wronged like this: "Do you... despise me."
Wen Yu sighed secretly, and deliberately changed the subject to appease her, saying, "What's so disgusting about you? The Holy Mother will know about your contributions, and how you joined the Holy Cult."
Wanniang recalled the past: "When my mother left, only me and my father were left alone, and I suddenly fell into a strange disease. The doctors all over the city were helpless. In the end, thanks to the people in the Holy Church who extended a helping hand, and then my father expressed his gratitude. I decided to do something for the holy religion because of my love. As I learned more about the religion, my father gradually sank into it, and I followed him to join."
Wen Yu was silent. This is probably the brilliance of the White Lotus Sect. They couldn't attract high-ranking officials and dignitaries, so they focused on the people at the bottom.Use some favors to get people to believe, and then brainwash a little bit.According to what Wanniang said, Jiao Qishan used to be a good father who loved his daughter, but now he can sacrifice her happiness just for the so-called belief.
The two talked for a while, during which Jiao Qishan noticed this side, but did not stop him.After all, Wen Yu is teaching the middle and high level, if Wan Niang can really win over him, it will be very helpful for his future promotion.
After they had finished their meal, Jiao Qishan took two of his men to bury the traces, while Wen Yu returned to the carriage, Su Yu saw him coming in and said with a strange air, "It's terrible, our Lord Wen, the master of the White Lotus Altar, is finally free. "
Wen Yu rolled his eyes at him: "Can you speak well! Who am I doing this for?"
"It's not for me anyway! Don't be too happy to see you being flattered by a beauty!"
Wen Yu didn't want to be as knowledgeable as him, so she moved closer to him and said in a low voice, "When you get to Deyang, play by ear, if someone rescues you, just run if you can, don't worry about me."
Su Yu said: "Of course I know this, but are your people reliable?"
Wen Yu smiled, and a trace of affection that she didn't notice flashed across her eyes: "There is no one more reliable than him."
Seeing his appearance, Su Yu found it a bit dazzling for some reason, and said sarcastically, "I don't think so. As far as I know, the number of officials in this poor place in Shu can be counted." Then he hummed twice: " You... barely count as one, you should make two-handed preparations."
Just as Wen Yu was about to refute, Jiao Qishan's voice came from outside: "My lord, we will arrive in Deyang County in a while, what shall we do then?"
Wen Yu replied indifferently: "Go and stay at the largest inn in Deyang, and someone will come to meet you when the time comes. Don't you all have guides?"
Jiao Qishan hesitated: "With so many of us, will it be too conspicuous..." Wen Yu knew what he wanted to say: "Don't worry, Su Yu and I will naturally dress up as before." Jiao Qishan laughed, but didn't refute.
When they arrived in Deyang County, everyone walked to the inn designated by Wen Yu, and a bearded shopkeeper entertained several people.Wan Niang gave him a disgusted look, this man was not only slovenly, but also smelled like spices, which made people shy away from him.
"What are your orders?" The shopkeeper nodded and bowed with a wretched expression.Jiao Qishan said impatiently: "Prepare three things for the room, and then add some food and bring them up. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do. We will leave after two nights."
The shopkeeper responded and took them upstairs in person.To be on the safe side, Jiao Qishan decided to live with Wen Yu by himself, but he still felt that something was wrong, and it was enough for Yu Qi to take care of Su Yu.
Wen Yu didn't seem to notice this, but kept calling for a bath.The road was indeed full of travel and dust, Jiao Qishan only thought that he had a bit of a son-in-law temper, so he let him go.There was a bathtub in the room. After adding hot water, Wen Yu took off his clothes and got in. Jiao Qishan was meditating while looking at Wen Yu's figure behind the screen.
Although Wen Yu has acted without any mistakes in the past few days, he is still faintly uneasy.After all, all of this is the news brought by Wen Yu. It stands to reason that if someone achieves the position of county magistrate in the teaching, they should use the position to provide them with some convenience.But he has run into walls everywhere in his missionary work in Sichuan recently, so he is suspicious no matter what he thinks.
Suddenly he found that Wen Yu behind the screen hadn't moved for a long time.Called the other party twice, but got no answer, Jiao Qishan stepped forward lightly, pushed aside the screen, and found Wen Yu fainted in the bathtub.He first breathed a sigh of relief, and then his heart tightened. This is a big figure in the sect, if there is anything wrong... Thinking of the methods of punishment in the sect, Jiao Qishan shuddered.
He put down the weapon in his hand and was about to help Wen Yu out, but just as his hand was about to touch her, the other party suddenly opened his eyes.Jiao Qishan had a bad heart, and just as he was about to make a move, someone jumped from the beam and kicked him to the ground.Then he gave him a knife hand on his neck, Jiao Qishan's eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
Wen Yu saw that there was no danger, and smiled at the man, "You are finally here." Standing opposite was the bearded shopkeeper who led them into the inn.
"How did you recognize me?" The shopkeeper tore off the disguise, revealing his original handsome face, it was Xu Jing.
Wen Yu shrugged: "Aren't you too, you can tell I'm dressed as a woman at a glance."
Xu Jing stepped forward and handed over his coat. Wen Yu took it with his hand, but just as he was about to get up, the sole of his foot slipped in the tub, and he was about to fall down, so Xu Jing hurriedly supported him.
Wen Yu was still in shock, but soon felt a little embarrassed. Now that she was naked and in someone's arms, she unnaturally pushed Ji Qing away, intending to haha and focus on the past, but just as the two separated, Xu Jing hugged him again. live.
"!" Wen Yu was too shocked to speak.
"In the future... I will not stop you if you want to do it... but take me with you." A muffled voice came from above.
Wen Yu's heart seemed to be pinched by someone, sore and painful, "Well, there will be no next time, I promise." He replied firmly.
