At this time, outside Teng County, there were two people walking into a village with support.
The two of them followed the ruts on the official road and staggered to the door of the first house in the village.
There is no need to make too many comparisons. Just looking at the tall lintel and the glossy mahogany door of that family, you can tell that this family must be the richest man in the village.
"Uncle, please wait a moment. I'm going to call someone right now." The man holding the old man's arm was Hu Dongcai, who had not been separated from Yinnuo and the others for a long time.
The person he supported was obviously Hu Ke, the magistrate of Teng County.
Hu Ke raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and looked up at the two closed wooden doors with a gasp, "Are we walking a little slower?"
Hu Dongcai let go of Hu Ke and was about to knock on the door when he suddenly paused when he heard Hu Ke's words.
He looked around cautiously and said with some hesitation: "Uncle, although we are not walking very fast, the bandits and the Yang family can't figure out our path. They will definitely not be able to catch up in just half a day."
Hu Ke looked up at the bright sky, and then looked deeper into the village.
Except for a running and barking little black dog with a raised tail crossing the road, there was no sign of anyone else.
An inexplicable chill slowly shot up his back, making him shiver in waves.
As if he saw the doubts in Hu Ke's heart, Hu Dongcai said tentatively: "Uncle, how about you leave the village first, and I will go in alone to find someone for help. When I borrow money to find a way out, I will go to you again?"
Hu Ke hesitated for a moment, but his chapped lips hurt so much when he moved, and his legs were trembling uncontrollably. He was really exhausted.
After some careful consideration, Hu Ke rejected Hu Dongcai's proposal directly, "Forget it, if I continue to toss my old bones, I will fall apart even if I don't die. I don't think the children of the Yang family know this place, so go in first and ask for a drink of water."
Hu Dongcai nodded, said nothing, walked up the steps with his official uniform, and knocked on the door.
After the door rang three times and after a pause, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps from inside.
The door was immediately opened from the inside, and the person who opened the door was a fat middle-aged man in his forties.
After seeing Hu Dongcai, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled excitedly, "Old Hu? What kind of wind brought you here? Why didn't you say hello first?"
As he said that, he reached out and grabbed Hu Dongcai's hand and pulled it in.
Hu Dongcai breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the fat man with all his strength, and pouted behind him, "Old Li, I am here with my uncle today."
The man known as Lao Li stretched his neck and glanced at the street. When he saw Hu Ke, he said with surprise and joy: "Oh, our Lao Li family is really happy today. The old county magistrate came to visit, but... What a great joy.”
After saying that, he let go of Hu Dongcai and hurried out to meet Hu Ke.
Hu Ke and Hu Dongcai
Unexpectedly, after he entered the door and noticed something was wrong, Hu Ke turned around and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, the courtyard door was tightly closed, and then there was a cry of death from behind.
The household official looked at Hu Dongcai and said with a smile: "Hu Xingfang, where is Fu Yunlang who escaped with you now?"
Military officer: "I see that Wen Xiaoyun and Yin Nuo are also hidden by you, right? You want to flatter Yin Qianhua, but I'm afraid you won't even be able to smell the flattery. My fate is here. .”
Hu Dongcai immediately raised his hands and said hastily as if surrendering: "I ran out of the Yamen with my uncle, not to join Yinnuo and the others, but to save my life. Everyone saw the scene at that time, The knights with swords slashed and killed everyone they saw. It was the boy named Fu who insisted on following us, and we couldn't get rid of him even if we wanted to." As he said this, Hu Dongcai seemed to have thought of something. He added hurriedly, "Brothers, even though we have been serving as yamen servants for so many years, I would not do such an immoral thing. And we also have important information about them. We can help Yang Jiaoyu. Eliminate all hidden dangers with your brothers!"
Li Luohua and Huang Qingshi's eyes suddenly lit up. Li Luohua deliberately kept a straight face and said sternly, "Why don't you tell me the news quickly?! Can you two afford to delay the young master's important event?"
