If it's dark today, even Lu Xilan, who is usually careless, starts to think that it's strange that Shi Xiaorui doesn't appear. Yu Qingzhan seems to be roasted by fire. If Xu Xin wasn't just a county magistrate, he would want to report to an official if he didn't take his famous post to Beijing Zhaoyin.
Yu Qingzhan is standing in the yard, thinking about what excuse to use. When she pacifies Lu Xilan, a paper ball suddenly hits her face.
Yu Qingzhan: "what
However, there was no stone wrapped in a paper ball. It didn't hurt or itch to hit people. Yu Qingzhan looked around reflexively, but no one saw it. She picked up the concealed weapon from the ground and found that there were some black ink stains in the paper.
When Yu Qingzhan opened it, it was a short letter written by Shi Xiaorui.
Shi Xiaorui's handwriting is recognized by Yu Qingzhan. Every time she writes the word "heart", the point on the far left is squeezed together with the hook beside her. Although she knows that it's not good-looking, she can't change it. Yu Qingzhan is attracted by the word at a glance and confirms that it's really written by Shi Xiaorui.
This letter is about her being asked to see a doctor. It's very good now, but she can't come back. It's reassuring.
After reading the content, Yu Qingzhan read these lines back and forth horizontally and vertically for several times. He didn't find any secret signs. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
But if you look carefully, the words in this letter are very stable, which shows that Shi Xiaorui should have a more stable attitude when writing this letter. At least she is not forced to write. She is in a good situation now.
Yu Qingzhan was greatly relieved.
She did not care to coax Lu Xilan for a moment. She quickly called Shanxia and others to study the letter together.
This crumpled new letter was circulated in everyone's hands, and finally returned to Yu Qingzhan's hands.
"Let's all say what you think. I feel that sister Xiaorui in this letter means that she doesn't have to report to an official, and she doesn't have to go out to look for it. Just as she goes out to see a doctor, she will come back in a few days."
Mo Ju said anxiously: "if madam is forced to write this letter, if we give up looking for it, then --"
Yu Qingzhan put the letter paper in the middle of everyone, pointed to the words and said: "there is no unnatural trembling in the font. When Xiaorui wrote this letter, she should be in a relatively relaxed state. If she was really forced, she should always show traces."
Lu Ming nodded in favor of this saying: "it is true. Niang is used to writing with her wrist hanging. If her arms tremble, it's hard to control and it's very easy to show
"Do we really stop? Just wait at home and wait for the lady to come back? " Shanxia asked. She looked at the letter written by Shi Xiaorui repeatedly, hoping to see some secret signal from it. Of course, she didn't succeed.
At the beginning of receiving the letter, Yu Qingzhan was reassured and anxious. In any case, when he wrote this letter, Shi Xiaorui was sure to be safe.
If there is no sign language in the letter, then the information in the letter itself is very important.
Yu Qingzhan pointed to the words on the letter and said: "you see, sister Xiaorui said that she would come back after the patient's illness is completely cured. That is to say, the disease will not take too long, but it can't be cured in one or two days. At least before the patient is cured, I think sister Xiaorui's safety can be guaranteed."
Inspired by Yu Qingzhan's words, Mo Ju also noticed another line: "it's specially written that let's relax and don't go out to find her again. It's also meaningful?"
"Literally, let's stay at home, do nothing and don't go to her."
"Are we looking for the right direction today? The people who took the wife worried that if we continued to search, they would be exposed, so they specially asked the wife to write a letter to warn us not to search? "
Several people around the letter, back and forth, and then say their views.
At this time, Qujiang came back.
He was drunk. On a cold day, his whole face was red. His coat was open because of the rising wine and fever.
When passing through the hall, I saw several people gathered together with serious faces, and strangely came together. Without speaking, I belched first.
"What's the matter with you?"
When they saw Qujiang, they caught him as if they saw a straw. No matter how much wine he had drunk, whether he was sober or not, they told him all about what happened today.
Qujiang is a good drinker. Originally, he was only slightly drunk. Now he was shocked by the news and woke up.
"Shi Xiaorui was robbed? Just this morning? "
He took Shi Xiaorui's letter and read it again and again. He felt that the letter was very understated. If it wasn't for Yu Qingzhan's nervous attitude, he really thought Shi Xiaorui was just invited to see a doctor.
Because when Qu Jiang was escorting, he had a lot of experience, and he was the most experienced of all. As soon as he came back, several people pinned their hopes on him.
Qujiang is very big. If he really gets along well, he won't have to stay here every day. However, it's hard to say this now to blow everyone's self-confidence. Qujiang has to be ready to analyze something to make up his mind.
At this critical moment, why isn't Lu Shao at home?
Qu Jiang sighs in his heart. He knows where Lu Shao is going. But now it's dark, and the gate is closed. It's going to be curfew. Even if he knows where he is, no one can find Lu Shao. At the earliest, he has to wait until the gate opens tomorrow.
While Qu Jiang looks at the letter, Yu Qingzhan also tells him all the analysis just now, and then everyone looks forward to him without saying a word.
Qu Jiang's drinking is almost over. He put down the letter and thought about the news that his friend accidentally revealed when he was drinking with his friend this evening. He always felt that it was a bit of a coincidence.
Qu Jiang said, "don't worry. This letter is specially written to let us wait and see that we don't have to look for her. It may literally mean that we don't do anything that will attract attention these days. "
Shanxia asked, "attention? Is it true that I guessed right that we are actually looking for the right direction? "
"Or is the person who robbed xiaoruijie powerful? If we find her, we will also be threatened?" Yu Qingzhan further guesses.
"But you can't really ignore it completely, and put your wife's safety on those people? I feel that there's something wrong with those people. If not, it's the same to ask your wife to go. Why do you have to rob them? "
