When Xu Xian woke up again, he found that he was lying in an inn, and the clothes he was wearing had already been changed.
Who saved me?
Why am I here?
Could it be that the little girl from the bun shop saved me?
But how could a little girl bring me to this inn?
Xu Xian was confused at this moment.
So I got out of bed and found a money bag on the inn table. When I opened the money bag, I found that it was filled with a bag of silver.
This...what the hell is going on?
Who saved me?
"Shopkeeper!"
"Do you know who saved me and brought me to this inn?"
Xu Xian, who was confused, immediately went downstairs to find the innkeeper, wondering if he could save himself.
"This young man!"
"I fell asleep long ago last night. It was my waiter who entertained you. As for who brought you here, I don't know anything!"
But the innkeeper shook his head.
"Then...then where is your waiter now?"
Xu Xian asked quickly.
"My waiter is from Jingzhou. Now that he heard something happened in his hometown, he asked me to resign early in the morning and went back!"
The store responded.
"What?"
"Your waiter went back to Jingzhou early in the morning?"
Although Xu Xian felt that something was wrong, he also understood at this moment that there might be some clues to this matter, and if he continued to inquire, it would be fruitless.
Thinking of this, Xu Xian planned to pay off the rent immediately. Unexpectedly, the store owner told him that the rent had already been settled.
So Xu Xian could only leave the inn, and then planned to go to the bun shop to see the little girl who kindly gave him buns to eat, and then go to Dujiangyan Ferry to take a boat to leave Shu.
When Xu Xian was waiting for Xu Xian to come to the bun shop again, he found that the door of the bun shop was closed at this time, and there was no trace of the little girl.
"Aunt Tian, do you know?"
"I heard that the father and daughter from this bun shop encountered a group of robbers last night, and that...that man was killed...killed!"
"Just...that little flower is left alone...at the Yamen to defend her father's grievance!"
"Who doesn't know this?"
"This tragedy has now spread throughout our entire Dujiang Town!"
"I'm so pitiful about that little girl. She doesn't know how she will live alone without her father!"
"What else?"
"That little flower is so beautiful, maybe it will be sold to a certain building, or become someone's concubine!"
"You are such a bad person!"
"Little girl, I didn't offend you. You cursed me like this!"
"Although Xiaohua is not offended, her dead father is not a good person. He often bullies honest people in the town!"
"Didn't you see that the day before yesterday, he beat a beggar half to death?"
"This is all retribution, retribution!"
"And a beautiful girl like Xiaohua, who is less than ten years old, has lost her parents, and is very beautiful, will not be sold to a building in the end!"
"Instead of letting others deceive you into selling it, why don't you and I sell it to the nearby Cuihong Building? As for the money, we will share it together!"
"In this way, she will not have to worry about food and drink in the future, and we will get money again. Wouldn't everyone be happy?"
"You are so bad!"
Just as Xu Xian was about to leave, he heard two people discussing next to him.
These two people don't seem to be good people. The little girl just lost her father, and she actually discussed selling her to a brothel. This person's heart is really sinister!
I'd better go to the Yamen first to see what's going on!
Xu Xian thought of this and went to the nearby Qingcheng County Yamen.
At this time, I happened to meet the little girl from the bun shop who was about to rush back to Dujiang Town.
"Is your name Xiaohua?"
After Xu Xian saw him, he immediately came over to say hello.
"How do you know my name is Xiaohua?"
"and who are you?"
Naturally, this little girl has forgotten Xu Xian who was like a beggar that day.
"My name is Xu Xian!"
"That's the beggar brother you gave me to eat outside the bun shop that day!"
"Look...I still have the handkerchief you used to wrap my buns that day?"
At this time, Xu Xian quickly took out the handkerchief from his arms that he had kept even though he was beaten half to death that day.
"You...are you really the little brother that day?"
"Why are you here?"
There were obviously tears in the corners of the little girl's eyes at this time.
"I...I originally wanted to go to Baozi Shop today to thank you for your help, but when I heard that this was found in your home, I came to see you!"
Xu Xian also told the truth.
"Woo...wow!"
The little girl immediately lay in Xu Xian's arms and cried loudly.
"Xiaohua, don't cry!"
"Don't cry!"
"It's fine!"
"The Yamen will definitely find your father's murderer for you!"
Xu Xian had no choice but to comfort him at this time.
As a result, the Yamen investigated the case of Xiaohua's father's murder for several days, but found no news.
Seeing this, Xu Xian didn't want to see Xiao Hua being sold to a brothel, so he temporarily accepted Xiao Hua as his maid, and took Xiao Hua by boat to Jingzhou and Lin'an.
When Xu Xian arrived at the ferry on the shore of Jingzhou by boat, he heard important news.
That is to say, all the Jin soldiers have now gathered to the north of Jiankang Caishi Ferry, preparing to cross the river to attack Jiankang.
At this time, the Jin soldiers are attacking Jiankang. Is the quarrying battle about to begin?
But without me, Xu Xian, could the Song Dynasty really resist the southern invasion of the Jin soldiers and win this war?
If I, Xu Xian, were not here, if Yu Yunwen led the victory of this war, and if Yu Yunwen publicly accused me of being selfish in Huaixi, wouldn’t my position in the Song Dynasty, Xu Xian, be completely lost?
Moreover, I am charged with being imprisoned as a pilgrim, and since I am of no use to the Song Dynasty, wouldn’t my outcome be even worse than that of General Yue?
Therefore, I, Xu Xian, cannot let Yu Yunwen lead this quarrying battle. I must rush back to Jiankang. I must rush back immediately.
Thinking of this, Xu Xian immediately paid the boatman several times more money and asked him to travel day and night along the Yangtze River and continue eastward.
Finally, five days later, Xu Xian arrived at the ferry in Dangtu County.
Since this was the war zone between the Song and Jin Dynasties to the east, and the river was no longer passable, Xu Xian could only take Xiaohua and get off the boat, preparing to go to Jiankang by land.
"Who's in the carriage?"
"Don't you know that now no one is allowed to go to Jiankang at will?"
But unexpectedly, the carriage hired by Xu Xian was stopped by a group of officers and soldiers not long after it left Dangtu County.
"I am Xu Xian, Pingzhang's Political Affairs Minister and Minister of War!"
"Who asked you to stop the truth here?"
Xu Xian also reported his official name at this time.
"What?"
"You said you are Prime Minister Xu?"
"Then do you have the credentials?"
Just listen to an officer and soldier ask.
"certificate?"
"My seal ribbon was lost on the road!"
"I don't have any credentials at the moment. You can just ask your boss to come over and see me!"
Only then did Xu Xian remember that his seal ribbon had been lost in Qingcheng Mountain.
"snort!"
"You don't have a seal and ribbon, and you still pretend to be Prime Minister Xu?"
"Go back...go back!"
"No one can go to Jiankang at will!"
Immediately there was the sound of officers and soldiers driving away. This chapter has been completed!
