Chapter 049 Sleepy Comes and Gives a Pillow
It was night, there were four or five spacious rooms in the basement of the county captain's house, and bursts of screams came from the innermost room.
Su Nian'an was in a room next to her, bandaging her wound. She used a clip to gently pull out the arrowhead from her forearm, and the blood spurted out immediately.
Several people around looked at her in horror, but she didn't react at all except for a slight frown on her face. If her forearm wasn't still bleeding, the onlookers would have thought she had taken the arrowhead from someone else.
Lin Wan'er looked at the calm Su Nian'an and murmured in shock: "Sister Su is really a god."
In fact, she, her wife and two maids had been watching from the side, but they had no idea what to do.
Su Nian'an didn't ask them to help, but took matters into his own hands. He was from a medical family and didn't care about this difficulty.
After Su Nian'an took care of the wound, the screams in the back room gradually stopped, and someone came out.
He took out a few pieces of paper with blood seals and handed them to Lin Wan'er: "Miss, we've all been charged. This is a confession."
Lin Wan'er took the paper and glanced at it a few times, without looking at it carefully, and handed it directly to Su Nian'an.
Su Nian'an read it carefully, nodded, and handed the paper to Madam. She had always believed that Madam was a smart person.
Although there was still a little blood on the bandage supporting his arm, Su Nian'an still thought calmly and waited for his wife to finish reading.
After a while, the lady read the paper in her hand and handed it to the guard who just came out of the inner room.
The lady said softly: "What are Shopkeeper Su's plans?"
Su Nian'an then said: "Originally, I thought these things had little to do with me. I just tried my best to help the suffering people. I didn't expect to be treated like this, so I had no choice but to get involved."
"Sister Wan'er, is there any paper here?" She said and glanced at Lin Wan'er.
Hearing this, Lin Wan'er waved to the guard on the side, who immediately went out to get paper and pen.
Su Nian'an didn't say much, picked up a pen and paper and wrote down a letter, a letter to the county captain.
After finishing writing, he blew on the wet handwriting on the paper, read it again, and lightly handed it to the lady for a look.
The lady chuckled lightly, "Shopkeeper Su, you don't have to be so cautious. I know you won't be constrained by a small Qiantang city, so go ahead and do your thing boldly!"
Su Nian'an nodded, folded the letter, sealed it in an envelope, and handed it to Madam, "I know you have an expedited channel to contact the Lord. Please give this letter to the Lord as quickly as possible."
With a normal expression on her face, the lady took the envelope and handed it to the guard at the door. After whispering a few words, the guard immediately rushed out of the basement.
Su Nian'an let out a long breath, smiled and said to Lin Wan'er and his wife, "Thank you both for your life-saving grace! I may have to trouble you and your Excellency more in the future."
The lady shook her head, "I also hope you can help me with more advice."
Lin Wan'er said: "That would be great. I can often play with Sister Su in the future."
Several people returned to the reception room of the county captain's mansion. Lin Waner was still frightened, "How could Sister Su predict such a thing in advance?"
Su Nian'an smiled, "This is inevitable. As my reputation grows, it will definitely affect the interests of some people, and they will definitely take measures. Originally, I thought it would be okay to be on guard all the time, but just in time, someone came to see me.
Already."
As she spoke, a chill appeared on her face, "Do you still remember how we found Feng Yao?"
Lin Wan'er was stunned, "Isn't it introduced by the bookkeeper's concubine? What does it have to do with her?"
Su Nian'an sneered: "That concubine provoked a conflict between us and He Miao! At that time, we both entered the door stupidly, but she immediately turned around and left."
The lady smiled at this time, "Is that my concubine and He Miao?"
Su Nian'an shook his head, "I'm not sure yet, but after putting everything together, I need to be on guard."
Taking a deep breath, she continued: "Even if you risk yourself."
…
Late at night, the county magistrate's office and the reception room were brightly lit.
It's just that the faces of the people sitting in the hall don't look good.
The county magistrate's face turned ugly, "Is there no news yet?"
"Not yet." He Miao answered while turning her head to look in the direction of the door, as if she was extremely expecting someone to knock on the door.
But it was already midnight and there was still no movement.
Even Commander Wang was a little restless and kept wanting to get up and move around. Looking at the county magistrate's face, he didn't dare to move. The uncomfortable look made it uncomfortable for outsiders to see.
The living room was silent for a while. As time passed, He Miao's heartbeat became louder and louder, and everyone felt his anxiety.
At this time, the county magistrate calmed down, looked at the nervous He Miao and said: "Starting tomorrow, you will also go down to offer condolences. You must show your people-friendly side. If you can't do that, don't come back."
Then there was dead silence in the living room until early morning.
…
At three o'clock in the morning, there was a low-lying hilly area forty miles southwest of Qiantang City, and military tents were located on high ground.
The largest military tent in the middle was still brightly lit at this time.
In the military tent, a figure swayed in the candlelight and was printed on the top of the tent, looking particularly tall.
At this time, two people in the military tent were surrounding a simple sand table. The tall middle-aged man said softly: "Master, the net has been set up, and we are just waiting for the harvest."
If Su Nian'an were here, he would definitely recognize that the two people in the account were the county captain and his master.
The master stroked his sparse beard, and finally a smile appeared on his face, "Yes! Sir, do you still want to subdue them?"
The county lieutenant chuckled, "I have actually already negotiated with him, but this old boy suddenly did this to me. He is really just feeding an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, and he still expects the county magistrate to save him. It is a wishful thinking."
The master also smiled, "Maybe he doesn't know that you know that he takes orders from the county magistrate?"
The county lieutenant shook his head, "I made it clear to him during our last meeting, but unfortunately there is no good way to get him to take sides. This fence-sitter is really difficult to deal with."
The master fell into deep thought after hearing this.
At this time, the rapid sound of horse hooves came from outside, approaching from far away, and soon arrived in front of the Chinese army's tent.
The movement woke up the two people in the tent, and they looked at each other in confusion. The master stood up and came to the door consciously.
An announcement came from outside, "Sir, sir! Urgent news from home."
The master heard this and said quickly: "Bring it in!"
After receiving the order, the guard guarding outside the tent immediately opened the curtain and let people in.
The master first took the letter, turned it over and took a look at it, then opened it in front of the county lieutenant, took out the letter paper, quickly turned it over, and immediately handed it to the county lieutenant.
The county lieutenant took the letter and read it carefully, with a smile on his lips. After reading it completely again, he handed it to the master and said with a smile: "As soon as you feel sleepy, someone will hand you a pillow!"
"Shopkeeper Su does have some ideas, although he may be suspected of killing someone with a borrowed knife."
The master is also happy, "Although it feels a little like being used by others, it has solved our problem."
