I was exiled after wearing a book

Chapter 8

There are two kitchens in the post station, both of which are located in the middle of the yard. Each kitchen has sixteen stoves of different sizes. Although it looks like a lot, it is really not enough.

Jiang Xin found a place to help the mother-in-law who was cooking to light the fire. While chatting, she chatted about the surrounding situation, asked about the surrounding towns and counties, and asked about the local folk customs.

Just as they were talking and laughing, they heard the sound of hoofbeats, and then a horn, which blew in the yard, and the atmosphere became tense in an instant.

Jiang Xin didn't feel anything yet, the woman who was cooking was so frightened that the water ladle in her hand fell to the ground with a plop and broke!

The sound of the horn was particularly urgent, and the panicked appearance of the old woman startled Jiang Xin, and she quickly grabbed her and asked, "What's wrong?"

The mother-in-law said in a panic: "This is the call to call the police, I'm afraid there will be bandits!"

Bandits?There are also bandits in the station?
Before the word "bandit" disappeared from Jiang Xin's mind, there was chaos outside.

Seeing this, Jiang Xin picked up the kitchen knife and rolling pin on the table and ran outside. Of course, she didn't go out to defend against the enemy, she ran directly to the small woodshed where she lived.

There was already chaos outside, the soldiers stationed in the post station, the soldiers brought by the guests staying here, and the bodyguards brought by the wealthy people all ran out in a panic.

Jiang Xin didn't care about these people, and ran back to the small firewood house where the family lived, turned and closed the door, then called to his father and brother, and found wooden sticks from the room to block the door.

Feeling that this was not safe enough, Jiang Xin shouted again: "Daddy, you and brother, bring over the wooden box under the bed." Jiang's father didn't ask the reason. Ask more questions, hurry up, and push the door up as my daughter said.

Fortunately, this room is a side room built on the side of the main room, with no windows, and a door leading directly to it. All we need to do now is to guard the door and block it.

Next, Jiang Xin put her head on the door to listen to the voices, shouts outside, people's voices, and then the sound of horseshoes, cries, one after another.

At this moment Jiang Cunliang asked: "What's going on?"

Jiang Xin gasped and said, "Father, it is said that there are robbers coming."

Jiang Zhen frowned and said: "How is it possible?" Yes, how is it possible, this is Tongzhou, which is only more than 200 miles away from the capital, how dare the robbers rob the post station?Official post?Is this impatient?
In response to the two, there were shouts, running, and then screams. For a moment, everyone was shocked, and Jiang Cunliang and Jiang Zhen wanted to go out and have a look.

Jiang Xin pressed the door firmly, and calmly said: "Father, brother, listen to me, don't be impulsive!"

The two of them couldn't believe it, but they calmed down and squatted quietly on the ground, listening to the movement outside.

Little Hu and Jiang He didn't dare to speak, they hugged the two sleeping children, nestled quietly on the bed, motionless.

After about two quarters of an hour, I heard a burst of hurried footsteps, and then it was installed on their door panel with a bang.

The wooden box against the door panel was bumped with a bang, which startled everyone.

At this time, I heard a woman behind the door shouting anxiously: "Open the door, open the door and save me, the bandits are coming, open the door quickly!" Then she slapped the door like raindrops and shouted frantically .

Jiang Zhen, an idiot, stood up and was about to speak when he saw this. Jiang Xin grabbed Jiang Zhen and stared at Jiang Zhen. For a while, Jiang Zhen stood still.

It's not that she is immoral, it's just that in such a chaotic situation, how can anyone open the door casually, even if the opposite is a woman.

The woman cried out heart-piercingly: "Help, please open the door, save our mother and daughter, the bandits are here to arrest the woman, please save us!"

Jiang Cunliang frowned, and didn't intend to open the door, but Jiang Zhen was a little excited, pulled Jiang Xin away, and was about to open the door, Jiang Cunliang grabbed Jiang Zhen by the neck, pulled him away, and glared at him angrily.

The woman screamed outside the door. Women were like goods in ancient times. If what this woman said was true, then if she was caught, the fate could be imagined. She was not used as a tool for the men in the bandit den to vent their anger. It will be sold for money.

Either way, it's something everyone doesn't want to see.

There was also a trace of suspicion in Jiang Xin's heart, Xiao Hu and Jiang He both stood up, they wanted to persuade Jiang Cunliang to open the door and save this woman and her daughter.

But the woman was still banging on the door and crying, when suddenly the crying stopped, and a rough male voice said: "Hurry up, get another one, time is running out!" Then the woman who had been crying yelled, The footsteps ran away in a hurry, and there were at least four or five people listening to the footsteps.

The group of people who were still thinking about whether they should open the door to the other party were instantly petrified, especially Jiang Zhen, who was so angry just now, he sat slumped on the ground, dripping with cold sweat.

In the firewood room, needles could be heard quietly, Xiao Hu and Jiang Xin's faces were pale, and Jiang Cunliang let out a long breath. Although he had seen a lot, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing. If it hadn't been for his daughter to stop him I'm so determined, I'm afraid the door will be opened.

The station was in chaos for a full hour before it gradually quieted down. Someone called everyone outside, but the Jiang family still didn't dare to move, fearing what would happen if there were bandits outside.

Captain Qiu's voice was soon heard. The Jiang family learned their lesson and waited quietly until the footsteps outside were orderly and there was the sound of counting.

Only then did Jiang Cunliang move the box away, remove the wooden stick that topped the door, and stick out his head with the kitchen knife that Jiang Xin took from the kitchen.

Looking at it, the lights outside were brightly lit. Rows of soldiers were counting with torches, and Captain Qiu was also counting the personnel there.

The Jiang family hurried out.

Captain Qiu was stunned when he saw that Jiang's family was completely intact, and then nodded. This family is really not to be underestimated. I'm afraid they will turn around soon. It seems that he also needs to make friends.

This county is the outermost county under Tongzhou. It is called Yiyang County, which is [-] kilometers away from the capital. A group of bandits on the nearby mountain, relying on the steepness of the mountain, often haunts major checkpoints and large post stations to rob. Mainly grab gold, silver and food, as well as women and children.

Needless to say, gold, silver and food, women and children are usually sold for money by robbing them. They are a group of real desperadoes with a lot of tricks.

Every time they come here for a short time and in a hurry, they just grab something and leave without staying too long.

Many travelers at the inn immediately locked the door when they heard the noise. They didn't have time to smash the door, so they came up with some ideas, using women's sympathy to coax the door to open, and then the robbers behind rushed away Above, the consequences can be imagined.
