Chapter 182 The beloved does not know the date of return
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 a distance.
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 officials that the drunken immortal had drunk someone to death.
She had to come in person to prove her innocence.
Of course, if she went to Changjia Town and told her, the matter would be settled. But she didn't want to, probably because she wanted to follow the husband's lead, and deep down, she didn't want to borrow a favor.
An old official came back, his voice as hoarse as a broken gong.
"I went to get tested earlier. It was indeed caused by drinking. 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 didn't obey, he would be beheaded if he stabbed the chief minister."
Jiang Caiwei remained motionless, sitting steadily, 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.
It's just that someone handed him a sum of money, so he covered his conscience and thought of cheating.
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 were about to step forward. However, they found that their little lady had already 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 their eyes really looked 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.
At 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. After a long time, 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 let's 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 at the royal official's house?"
The old official looked shocked and didn't understand what Lu Zizhong was going to do. "Indeed, it is indeed true, but my daughter is still young and it will take two years before she can become a harem."
"Don't be nervous, I'm just warning you."
"In the future, when a girl gets married, she should 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 is still falling. It must be late autumn, the world has become more and more filthy, and God wants to wash it away.
Jiang Caiwei held the bundle in her arms and stood silently in front of the inn's horse gallery. Behind him, four young men with knives 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 into 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 doesn't my boss come back? Madam is in trouble!"
Jiang Caiwei did not answer, but raised her head in the distance and looked at the gate of Weicheng. Through the rain curtain, the outline of the official road was faintly visible.
But for a long time, there was no sound of horse hooves.
She lowered her head and felt like crying. But she didn't cry after all. She swallowed back the tears with all her 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 at it.
"Madam, no horses are sold in the entire Weicheng!" Lu Feng didn't rush back until it was dark at noon.
"I asked 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 even open them until they are broken."
Jiang Caiwei frowned slightly, she had seen such tactics before. When her brother Tiger was forced to kill, he stabbed 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 on their faces.
"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 her oil-paper umbrella, rolled up the swing 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 and was studying in the house."
"You must have heard about it, too. I'm going to join the official 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 wasn't that he was too tired to walk, but the street in front of him was blocked by dozens of people. Three or four coffins were stretched across the street.
"Xu's Winery in MaTi Lake! Drunken Heavenly Immortal! Eight people were drunk to death!" A thin middle-aged man looked nondescript even though he was wearing 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.
All the officials seemed 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 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 want to eat people. After all, animals are unreasonable.
