Sun laosan responded swiftly. As he spoke, he glanced at shen kang who was sleeping soundly in the car and smiled happily." I heard that master shen is engaged. I don' t know when the wedding is scheduled. I' ll definitely give you some news and I' ll join in the fun." "
"Of course, I'll drink your wine. "
"I' ll go back first, master chu. The city gates should be closed later. "
"Go, be careful on the road. "
The two chatted for a while before the donkey cart got off the mountain. Chu dong jumped out of the car and helped shen kang back to his yard.
When it was dark, he wanted to go to the quad to be on duty, but he was too sleepy to move, so he turned his younger brother out to take a leave for him and went to sleep with the steward.
He slept until dawn. When he got up and went out to wash up, shen kang was yawning as he walked out. The two brothers were across the courtyard wall, washing their faces and talking about yesterday's excitement. When they arrived at the courtyard, old lady hong was leaning against the kitchen door and peeking out at the prisoner's room. She looked a little sneaky. Perhaps it was because she saw chu dong and shen kang come in, so she immediately turned her head back.
Shen kang was fine. He had always been rough, but chu dong suddenly felt something was wrong.
He went quickly to the rooms and pulled the keys one by one to open the door. Previously, both rooms were fine, but when they reached the last room, they found that they were all sitting on the edge of the kang, their faces pale.
"Why aren't you getting up yet? What's going on? "
Chu dong shouted and scolded, but the few prisoners rolled down the kang and knelt down.
Chu dong glanced at them and didn' t need them to tell him the truth.
One less!
Li decheng is missing!
"Call the steward, li decheng has run away! "
Chu dong shouted, his voice changing rapidly. It was the first time he had run away from a prisoner in two years at the quarry.
Recently, because the lin family had invited Mr. Yao and his son to be their husbands, in order to thank everyone for keeping a secret, the food and accommodation on the mountain had improved a lot. The criminals were a little more angry and gentle, which made them relax their vigilance for a while. They only locked the door at night, and the night patrol was canceled.
Unexpectedly, she had been careless and relaxed for a while and this had actually happened.
Father zhou also drank half a pot of wine last night and woke up late. When he was suddenly woken up by ah qing, he was still a little confused.
"What is it? "
"Master, something's wrong! We got a runner! "
"What? Father zhou jumped up in shock and fell off the kang. He didn't even bother to twist his ankle and rushed out the door.
Chu dong and shen kang were gathering everyone in the courtyard. After counting, only li de was missing.
Chu dong and shen kang were so angry that their teeth began to itch at the thought of li de pretending to be honest these past few days. No wonder they were pretending to take it lightly!
"When I catch him, I will kill him alive! "
Shen kang pulled the whip in his hand and his face turned black with anger.
Father zhou just happened to walk up to him and said," it's too late to say anything now! If you don't work today, lock everyone back in the house and go after them first. If he couldn' t recover it, he would think of a countermeasure! "
"Yes. "
Chu dong and shen kang quickly agreed. The criminals didn' t dare to breathe and quickly took the initiative to go back to their room.
Chu dong and shen kang, together with ah qing, left the courtyard.
It's not a glorious thing. It's not a big deal. Chu dong did not dare to go down to zhao jiatun for help, so he called his family.
Old Mr. Shen, along with old Mr. Chu's second son, and even brandy, had left their work behind and began to seek help from all over the mountain.
Unfortunately, li decheng did not know how long he had been running, and he did not know where he was going. How could he find him?
When the sun went up, chu dong, shen kang, and the others returned to the quad with nothing behind them. They didn't catch anyone at all.
Father zhou walked around the ground with his hands in his hands and couldn' t help but be annoyed." Where can he go? There's no iron ball on his feet, but there's a word on his face. As long as he appears in front of people, he' ll die if he's caught." Could it be that he still wanted to go deep into the mountains and forests and not come out for the rest of his life? "
The corner of chu dong's eyes unconsciously swept across the tightly shut kitchen door and window. Suddenly, he remembered that when he got up early and came in, old lady hong seemed to have something wrong.
At this time, she would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go.
He kicked open the kitchen and pulled the frightened old woman hong into the courtyard.
"Master shen, I ... I didn' t make a mistake ..."
Old lady hong wanted to struggle to get up, but unfortunately, chu dong was so anxious that he did not listen to her at all. He whipped her up with the whip hanging in his hand, causing old lady hong to howl in pain.
Shen kang didn' t know what to say.he thought that he had lost his rationality and wanted to stop him, but he was pulled by old Mr. Zhou.
Chu dong was the calmest. There was no reason why he would not attack at a time like this.
Sure enough, chu dong whipped twenty or thirty times. Seeing that old lady hong was in so much pain that she had no strength to shout, he pulled back the whip and stepped on her chest." Tell me, did you know that li decheng was going to escape?" "
"I ... I don' t know. Please forgive me, master chu. I really don' t know!" Old lady hong's face was pale and afraid of people, but her eyes were wandering around and she begged for mercy. Chu dong didn' t ask any more questions as he raised his whip and started to whip again.
Old woman hong had received more than a dozen lashes, and she could not bear it any longer, so she screamed," I said, I said, don't hit, don't hit! "
Shen kang and father zhou didn' t expect that they would actually ask about something. They couldn' t help but step forward and shout," hurry up and tell me!" "
"I ... Sob, I didn' t know that li decheng was going to escape. He gave me a piece of silver and asked me to buy sun laosan. If any big official came to the city, let sun laosan tell him. Yesterday, sun laosan came to visit, li decheng gave him a silver ticket, I did not get any money. He said that when he turned over, he would have my money. "
Old lady hong was in a state of confusion. In the end, she struggled to hug father zhou's leg and cried," I really don' t know if he's trying to escape. I thought he asked third sun to send some letters to someone he knows to visit ..."
Father zhou's face was as white as a piece of paper. He had no time to pay attention to her pleading. He kicked him away and said in a trembling voice," it's not a good thing. "
Chu dong and shen kang's hands were trembling.
Even if he went to the city, it wouldn' t be a big deal. There would always be a day when he would be discovered.
But now, li decheng had specifically asked about the fact that an official had escaped when he arrived in the city, so he must have rushed to this official. He was convicted of being greedy for ink, so he was not excused by any official pleading for mercy.
The only possibility was that he had to make amends, and this merit, without even thinking about it, was Mr. Yao and his son!
"If I had known, I would have broken his legs! "
Shen kang was very powerful, but it was too late to say anything.
Father zhou tried his best to calm himself down and instructed chu dong in a low voice," quickly go to the lin family and bring Mr. And son yao back." After that, he instructed the lin family to clean up the mess, and zhao jiatun also wanted to say something. As for here ..."
