The car is far away, the horse is flying, and the beloved does not know when he will return.
The early rain in Weicheng made the road muddy, blocking the road and blocking the view from afar.
Jiang Caiwei walked back to the official room and sat down silently, her face full of unconcealable fatigue.
The day before yesterday, someone went to Weicheng to report to the official, saying that the drunken immortal drank to death.
She had to come in person to prove her innocence.
Of course, if you go to Changjia Town and say something, the matter will be settled. But she didn't want to, probably because the husband was in love with the wife, and deep down, she didn't want to take a favor on credit.
An old official came back, his voice as hoarse as a broken gong.
"I went to get tested earlier. It was indeed a drinking problem. My stomach was poisoned."
"You go back and don't do illegal drinking during these two months. If it weren't for my lobbying, that family would never let you go."
"Just pay... three thousand taels of silver. The man who died was a wealthy gentleman. If he doesn't comply, he will be beheaded if he stabs the chief minister."
Jiang Caiwei sat motionless and steady, with no intention of taking out any money.
"What do you mean? If you keep messing around, you will be beheaded." The old official made a threatening gesture.
He had just arrived in Weicheng, and he didn't understand many things yet, and he didn't even know that the woman in front of him was the wife of Sha Bang's little boss.
However, someone handed him a sum of money, so he covered his conscience and thought of tricking him.
In the official hall, many of the officials present showed narrow smiles.
These days, women are the least intimidated. If you hang out a knife, the village women will tremble three times.
Lu Feng and Lu Lao, who followed, were so angry that they stepped forward. But he found that his little lady had raised her head in silence.
The calm look in their eyes made Lu Feng and Lu Lao feel like they were in another world for a moment. This look in his eyes really looks like the little boss.
"Then go to the chief office." Jiang Caiwei picked up the file in front of her, tore it into pieces coldly, then stood up and walked outside the official office.
This time, it was the turn of the old official and the official to look at each other in confusion. They didn't understand how an insignificant little village woman could be so brave.
The old official cursed twice, opened the curtain behind the official residence, and walked into the inner hall.
"I heard it all."
Lu Zizhong put down the book, his voice a little annoyed.
"If the men are gone, who can she show her strength to?"
"That Mr. Lu... Chief Sifang."
"You are stupid!" Lu Zizhong picked up the scroll and threw it on the old official's head. It took a long time before he let out a breath of anger.
"Go, find a few more refugees, poison them and pile them together. Find a few more people tomorrow and have another round of trouble."
"But Mr. Lu... they are going to take the horse and leave now."
"I stabbed the horse." Lu Zizhong showed a sinister smile.
"In the huge city of Weicheng, the young lady can't even buy a horse."
"By the way, there seems to be a maid of honor in the royal official's house?"
The old official looked shocked and didn't understand what Lu Zizhong was going to do. "It's true, it's true, but my daughter is still young and it will take two years before she can be a virgin."
"Don't be nervous, I'm just warning you."
"When a girl gets married in the future, she must not marry a fool like the Emperor. He thinks he has a strong backbone and dares to reach out for food."
"If I, Lu Zizhong, see such a person, I will kill him."
"Kill the whole family."
…
The rain in Weicheng keeps falling. It must be late autumn, the world has become more and more filthy, and God wants to clean it up.
Jiang Caiwei stood silently in front of the inn's horse gallery with her bundle in her arms. Behind him, four young men with swords all had angry faces.
In front of them, two good horses and an old harness horse were stabbed to death. More than ten inches of the horse's belly was cut off, and there was no life left.
"Lu Feng, go and buy some horses." Jiang Caiwei shook her hands, quickly calmed down, and handed the silver bag to Lu Feng's hand.
"Madam, it must be those people who did it!" Lu Lao was so angry that he swung his knife and wanted to kill her.
"These dog officials only bully good people."
"Why hasn't my boss come back? Madam is in trouble!"
Jiang Caiwei did not answer, but raised her head from a distance and looked at the gate of Weicheng. Through the rain curtain, the outline of the official road can still be seen faintly.
But for a long time, there was no sound of horse hooves.
She lowered her head and felt like crying. But after all, he didn't cry. He swallowed back the tears with all his strength and continued to wait in silence.
That day there was chaos and war, and the little stickman took her out of the city. It was such a rainy day, and she held an umbrella, thinking that the wind and rain were covered, and her life would be peaceful and happy.
But it seems that God is still not good.
"Madam, no horses are sold in the entire Weicheng!" It was not until noon that Lu Feng came back.
"I said Lu Feng, why didn't he sell the horse?" Lu Lao was a little anxious.
"Those horse sellers have all closed their doors early today, and they won't open even if they knock them open."
Jiang Caiwei frowned slightly, she had seen such methods before. When my brother Tiger was forced to kill, he was stabbing a horse to block the road.
"Madam, what should I do?"
Four young men stood on the edge of the horse gallery, all with serious expressions.
"I'll wait until we leave the city." Jiang Caiwei bit her lips, put one hand into the baggage, and touched the old hatchet that had been sharpened several times.
Probably because it was inconvenient to walk, Jiang Caiwei simply put away the oil-paper umbrella, rolled up the hem of her skirt like a man, and walked quickly.
There was a flower girl laughing on the balcony, laughing at her miserable life, laughing at her rouge flowers, and laughing at her loss of womanly grace.
Lu Zizhong squinted his eyes and stood in the corner of the balcony, covering half of his body.
"A very handsome girl, but she is just like her bad guy. Who are you going to show this bone to? My little boss, I will die early."
"Prince, there is no problem in finding someone, right?"
"Of course...no problem, I didn't mention Mr. Lu's name."
"Tsk, I don't want to get myself into trouble when the time comes. Remember, I haven't been to Weicheng today. I was just writing books in the house."
"The royal officials must have heard about it. I will join the household department next year. As an official, hehe, I will ask for orders for the people."
…
After wiping her face, Jiang Caiwei stopped half a mile from the city gate.
It's not that I'm tired and won't walk, but the street in front of me is blocked by dozens of people. Three or four coffins were laid out in front of the street.
"Xu's Winery in Ma Ti Lake! Drunken Heavenly Immortal! Eight people were drunk to death!" A thin middle-aged man looked nondescript even in a Chinese robe.
"Dog's brewers shall die a good death!"
The howls of dozens of people became more and more shrill.
Jiang Caiwei trembled and put her hand into the package. Behind her, Lu Feng and four others also raised their scabbards, protecting Jiang Caiwei in the middle.
The officials were all dead and there was no movement. Only the old official from the officialdom was left, holding an oil umbrella and walking to the street corner, leaving behind a cold word.
"Private grudges, the government will not interfere!"
Jiang Caiwei closed her eyes and her whole body trembled slightly.
Once, she asked her Xu Lang why people always bullied him if he just wanted to live a good life.
Her Xu Lang said that no matter whether the jackal is hungry or not, it will always think about eating people. After all, beasts are unreasonable.
