"What can we do? We are a bunch of idiots. If something like this happens, we should just hide away."
"Hide? What should I do, Master Di? I look at him, he is a very good officer."
"Yes, yes, if Mr. Di is gone, will we have no place to complain in the future? It's not easy to find an official who is willing to help us..."
"Tch, listen to him! You are not children anymore, how can you just believe what an official says?"
"That's right, I heard that Mr. Di is newly appointed. When this new official takes office, he just talks casually and seeks a good reputation. You can just listen to it. Do you really dare to believe it?"
"That's right, many officials talk about one thing, but when they really want to do things, they say another thing. We have seen many people, old and young."
"What nonsense are you talking about?! If you don't believe Mr. Di, why did you come with me? Are you still eating and drinking with me? Have you fed the dogs?"
"Hey, why are you scolding people? Who wouldn't come to see the excitement? Don't take advantage of me, bastard. I have nothing to do in this winter. Come and see what's going on?"
"Okay, stop arguing. Let's run away. If something happens to the officer, if we are there, we will be arrested and thrown into prison."
"Oh, yes, you reminded me. Run, run, run. We ordinary people cannot afford to interfere in the affairs between their officials."
"Slow down, wait for me."
Just like that, most of the people put down their bowls, hugged the cakes and ran away. He ran out of a large amount of mud on the snow.
It also caused the floating snowflakes to dance again, and the surrounding area was blurry.
Some people did not run away, and there were more than a dozen people who did not run away.
A middle-aged man glanced at the snowflakes rising from the ground and asked the others, "Why don't you run?"
"Don't run. Old man, my legs are heavy." An old man replied.
A young man scratched his forehead.
He shook his head and said: "No official talks to us common people like that, and no official still cares about the people watching the excitement, fearing that we will be thirsty and hungry, and still eat and drink. I think Mr. Di is trustworthy. I don't want to run away , I want to do something.”
Another person continued: "I have the same idea as you. And I still have an unjust case that I want to bring against Mr. Di. I feel that I can trust Mr. Di."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man asked the other silent people: "You all have cases you want to find Mr. Di?"
Those few people nodded, and more than a dozen people nodded, including the heavy-legged old man and the young man.
After reading it, the middle-aged man nodded and said, "Me too."
"Then what should we do? Why don't we just stand here and wait?" someone asked.
Someone replied: "That's what I think. If Mr. Di gets into trouble, he needs a witness, right? When the government comes to pick him up, I am willing to follow him to make a personal witness."
"My life will be at risk. The master of this flower house and the master of that other courtyard are the same person, the Wu family."
"Then why didn't you run away?"
"Why are you running? My family is all dead and I'm the only one left. Old man, I can't live any longer. Why should I be afraid of the Wu family? If I can help Mr. Di, if Mr. Di is really a good person, even if I risk my life My life is gone, and I can go down to see my family with peace of mind."
"We can't stand here and wait. We don't want to be killed when the time comes. Let's go to the city and wait outside the imperial city gate."
"Yes, let's go there and save our own lives first before we can testify for Lord Di."
"Then let's go, take the trail, don't let anyone chase you."
With that said, more than a dozen people agreed one by one, went into the forest with their companions, and followed the path towards the capital city. When they were almost near the city wall, they saw a group of imperial guards riding horses, rushing toward the flower house.
Look at that posture, it's menacing.
The middle-aged man urged his companions and whispered: "Sure enough, the Wu family is still in control. Is this from the palace? Let's go quickly. It will be safe outside the palace wall."
In the greenhouse, the official who shouted "Master Di has been poisoned" was being stared at by other officials, for fear that this idiot would shout something nonsense again.
Now they were all very anxious.
If they wanted to leave, Mr. Song told them to stay on guard; if they didn't leave, they were afraid that Wu Jianhui would settle the account with Qiu Hou.
In such a mood, some colleagues even shouted...
Although they also knew that the reason for shouting was because there were still people outside.
But what do those untouchables have to do with them?
I felt like there was something wrong with this colleague.
Everyone stood, thinking about their own little thoughts.
I don’t know how long it took, but someone finally broke the silence.
"Xiao Yang, can't you tell, you are actually a bitch-hearted."
Someone patted the second-hand Yang Jixuan.
Yang Jixuan was so slapped that he shrank his neck and said nothing. He moved his footsteps in the direction of the poisonous weed, putting some distance between these officials and the weed.
Someone discovered it.
"Tsk" and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I learned it from Mr. Song. I say Yang Jixuan, you should think about yourself and your family at least, right? If we keep this grass, we won't be able to keep the heads on our necks. ”
When some people heard this, they retorted: "But if we pull out the grass, our heads will not be saved."
"What I'm saying is that if there was no such grass, there would be no reason why Master Di was poisoned. He is a fourth-grade official after all, and your Majesty will investigate. Those untouchables outside heard what Xiao Yang shouted. "
"That's right, it's because of Xiao Yang's voice that we can't even pull up the grass and run away! Oh, Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang, what do you think you can't do if you learn something? Do you have to be like Mr. Song? Want to learn to be a turtle?"
"Tsk, it's still too tender. Is it okay now? We are riding a tiger and it's hard to get off. Just wait and see what it says."
Some people were discussing, some were worried, and some were silent.
Yang Jixuan lowered his head and remained silent.
Later, when someone said he was annoyed, he simply squatted on top of the poisonous weed, making it clear that he wanted to protect the weed.
When three people saw this, they looked at each other, walked away, and whispered.
"You can't keep this grass!"
"Master Di, did you eat anything before coming here..."
"Yes, some poisons are chronic, and they just happen to occur here? Right?"
"That's right, this grass needs to be removed. Our top leaders are from the Wu family, and we can't afford to offend them. Let's not make the wrong idea."
"Well, without evidence, the Wu family has the final say. Then Di Ying, a new official from a poor family, who will help him stand up?"
"In this case, I will deal with Xiao Yang, and you can find an opportunity to pull weeds."
The three of them reached an agreement and approached Yang Jixuan slowly and without leaving a trace.
