Chapter 243

At this time, the post station in the north of Yangcheng, thirty miles away, has fallen into the silence of the night.

The post station in the north of the city is located at the junction of Yangcheng and Gaoping. Its location and jurisdiction are somewhat awkward. A quick horse can rush to the two cities with a little whip. There is no need to settle in the simple post station with staggered facilities in pogou. Therefore, the post station becomes more and more dilapidated.

But because the Taiyuan government officials passing by are rarely full tonight, there are no horses in the horse pen, so they have to be tied in the front yard or even outside the door.

In the post station, there was only one post Cheng with an old pawn. He was so busy that he had to ask his family members to help.

When the night was dark, most officials had rested, but there were other rooms with lights on.

After all, what happened these days is so incredible that I can't help talking about it in private.

There are only a few good rooms in this post station. Naturally, they are given to officials with high positions such as magistrate ma. At the moment, this small adobe house is a low-level official.

He and his servant were crowded in the same room. When he slept in bed, the servant had to make a floor.

On a sultry summer night, with the windows open, one could see a man in regular clothes making the bed inside, while another ordinary looking servant with a beard stood aside with his hands down and a thoughtful look.

"How on earth did they find out?" He whispered.

His voice was soft and his tone was easy-going, which was very harmonious with his servant status.

The man who made the bed immediately turned around when he heard the speech.

"It's hard to say." He said.

His voice was mellow and dignified, but under the dim oil lamp, he looked respectful in the face of the servant, which was very contrary to his identity.

"My lord..." The man who made the bed then spoke.

As soon as the voice came out, the servant suddenly raised his hand and looked sharply at the window.

"Who's there?" He shouted.

With his cry, the man had reached the door and opened it.

There was a cry in front of the door and someone staggered back.

This is a 14-year-old girl with simple clothes and messy hair. In the night, she can only see the dark on her face. She is carrying a wooden bucket with hot water in her hand.

She seemed to be passing by with a bucket. She was frightened by the people who suddenly came out. She stood in her place in panic and didn't dare to move.

"What do you do?" The official came out and asked sternly.

The servant had retreated to his side and looked down at the girl.

"I, I deliver water." The girl stammered, her voice hoarse, and trembled and pointed to the next room.

The light is also on in the room over there. It's obvious that someone hasn't rested yet.

This girl... Should be the family member of the courier.

The post servant had an old wife and a daughter. He walked around the yard and was busy for a long time.

Officials don't care.

"Is there any hot water?" He asked casually.

The girl looked frightened.

"This is, this is the first one over there." She said, afraid of the official getting angry, "I'll burn it again, sir. Wait a minute."

The official didn't want hot water, so he waved and turned in.

The girl gave a flustered salute, and then walked to the next room with a bucket.

The servant stood at the door and looked at her. The girl knocked on the door next to her. A man who had changed his underwear opened the door.

"Your Excellency, your hot water." Said the girl.

The man, uh huh, reached out and took it, grabbed it and closed the door with one hand.

The girl breathed out, raised her sleeve and wiped the sweat on her head and face. The ash on her face was wiped more and more because of the fire. She patted her shoulder and didn't dare to rest more. She walked quickly back to the hospital.

The servant's eyes followed her all the time.

The girls walk slowly, with the unruly attitude of rural girls. They also shrug their shoulders and shake their necks from time to time to alleviate fatigue.

The servant's eyes stared at her closely, step by step, step by step, until she turned the corner.

The servant stood silently for a moment before turning into the room and closing the door.

"Is there a problem?" Asked the officer in the room.

The servant smiled.

"Not yet." He said, stopping the official's questioning, "it's getting late. Let's have a rest first."

The official didn't ask again. The respectful answer was to blow out the lights in the room.

The room sank into darkness.

"The bed is ready. Take a rest."

Said a low voice in the dark.

With the sound of the sound, everything was quiet after a moment.

In the silent night, a figure turned over from the broken half wall of the post station. Through the faint starlight, you can see that this is a girl, wearing only the inner coat, while the outer coat is held in her arms.

Her face was as dark as night, with only one eye shining like stars.

It's not in vain today. An adult's address confirms at least one thing, which is enough. You can't stay here anymore.

Run.

Run.

She climbed over the wall and didn't care to put on her clothes, so she ran wildly and disappeared between the ups and downs of the gully.

………………………………………………..

Outside the Lin alley, Liu er's cry continued.

Mrs. Fang was choked with tears.

"You're talking nonsense!" She shouted, "well, how can you die and live? You curse your young lady."

"That's not your lady. It's easy for you to say." Cried liu'er.

Old lady Fang was so angry that her heart ached.

"She is my granddaughter." She drank.

"How's your granddaughter? It's not as important as your grandson." Liu Er cried and pointed to Fang Chengyu. "He's cured now. My miss is useless. You don't have to offend someone for my miss."

Mrs. Fang's face was livid and she didn't come up in one breath, and she staggered.

Fang Chengyu quickly reached out and held it.

"Liu'er, stop talking." He said, "that's not what grandma meant."

"I don't care what you mean." Liu Er cried and rushed straight to Lin's alley, "if you don't look for it, I'll look for it."

The people of the Lin family had been on guard against her for a long time and blocked her. Although they didn't beat her up as before, they also pushed liu'er to the ground by taking advantage of liu'er's rush.

Liu Er wiped her tears and got up and rushed again.

Fang Jinxiu looked down.

"Look, look." Lin said with a sigh, "get out of the way, let her find it."

The people of the Lin family got out of the way, and Liu Er rushed in crying.

Old lady Fang's face was livid and her expression had not slowed down. Fang Chengyu gently patted her heart.

"Why don't you, Mrs. Fang, have a rest and wait here." Clan leader Lin said, "we are not looking for people. Of course, people want to find people."

Just don't make such a fuss. Look for it calmly.

Officials also nodded again and again. This is the best. It is beneficial to both sides. Everyone looks good in face and can also resolve the discussion caused today.

Before Mrs. Fang spoke, Fang Chengyu smiled at them.

"Please wait a minute. I haven't finished talking to my grandmother." He said.
