The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1163 Injured
"Uncle Qin, go and open the door, remember! Let's not get confused, we must deal with it calmly." Liu Su'er instructed Uncle Qin again.

Uncle Qin settled down and turned around to open the door, but he didn't want to be stopped by Liu Su'er again.Liu Su'er saw that Uncle Qin's clothes were a little disheveled, so she nodded and asked him to open the door.

Uncle Qin pulled the latch open and let out a big yawn.

"Oh! My lords! What is this?" When Uncle Qin saw the person coming, his sleepy eyes immediately opened wide.

At this moment, with some fear on his face, he looked at the three officials outside helplessly.

"Your name is Huang Gaogao?" A soldier looked at Uncle Qin first, and then lowered his head to look at the file in his hand.

This is the household registration archived by the government. It not only contains the population and names of each household, but also records the basic characteristics of the characters.

The owner of the house, Huang Gao Gao, is a man in his 40s. His ancestors are not considered rich, but he has a small fortune.When it came to Huang Gaokao's generation, all the others were dismissed by future generations, and only two small courtyards remained.This is one of them.

Uncle Qin's heart trembled, and he quickly waved his hands, "Officer! The villain just rented Master Huang's yard. We can't afford such a house in the capital."

Seeing Uncle Qin's frightened look, the first person gradually let go of his guard.

Although this person's age looks about the same as that of Huang Gaokao, the appearance on the household registration records is not similar to this person, and his stature is not as tall as this person.

Look at the muslin cloth that this person is wearing, which has been washed white, but it has not been patched.It's just that the clothes are a little messy, and I think I was a little rushed when I opened the door just now.

They often have errands to search and arrest, so they observe more carefully in the subtleties.

"How long have you rented this yard?" The official at the front pushed Uncle Qin away, and then walked into the yard.

"My lord! It's been three or four months. It's not that they heard that the imperial city is prosperous and want to come out to do some small business, so they want to come to the capital to join relatives. Who would have thought that relatives could not be found, they have already moved. There is no way, since Here you go, stay here."

Uncle Qin rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly.

"Then what business do you do? Who are the relatives? How many people are there in your family? Ask them all to come out."

The first official asked three questions in succession, and then the other two looked around the yard.

This is just a very small yard. There are only some firewood piled up in the yard and two small ginkgo trees are planted.

There are many small courtyards like this in Nancheng, and the layout is very ordinary.

"The villain and my mother-in-law set up a small stall at the intersection on the west side of the street, selling some wontons there. The villain has been selling for more than two months, and I haven't seen many officials, but the villain knows you and you Cui Guanye, who we worked with! He often comes to our stall to eat wontons."

The three officials couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed when they heard the other party call Cui Guanye.

Isn't the surname Cui the one they worked with together?They are all colleagues. Since the other party still knows their colleagues, there should be no problem.

"The few of us are not in this area on weekdays to inspect, but we were temporarily dispatched here today." One of them looked slightly calm, and even opened his mouth to explain.

"Those three officials often come to the villain's stall to eat wontons. This skill is learned from my mother. She is from the south of the Yangtze River. The wontons wrapped here are a bit different from those here in the North. You must try it, little one." People definitely don’t take money.”

When Uncle Qin said this, the faces of the three of them immediately softened a lot like ice melting.

"It's for sure to try it. You don't need to invite it. You don't make much money in this small business."

That being said, how dare the small vendors on that street accept copper coins from them when they saw them?

Naturally, they were invited to eat, and they just said politely.

"Although we are all acquaintances, we are on official business, so we still have to do business. Just now I asked where you are from and what are your relatives' names? Where is your mother-in-law? Why haven't you come out yet?"

Two of them were unwilling to waste time here, so they planned to leave here.But another person felt that even if it was perfunctory, he had to go into the house to take a look, otherwise if the assassins were really let go, they would definitely be burned.

Besides, the old man at the entrance of the alley is still waiting in the carriage!How dare they act carelessly?

So one of them began to urge.

"The villain is from the Xiaguan Mansion, and there is a wife at home. This time I brought a niece. Relatives."

Speaking of relatives, Uncle Qin paused.They didn't come to the capital to look for relatives. If they said a name indiscriminately, but they couldn't find the person in the household registration, wouldn't they be suspected?
Had he known it earlier, he would not have said that he was here to seek refuge with his relatives, Uncle Qin regretted it endlessly.

"Uncle! What's the matter?"

Suddenly there was a sound from inside the house, and the three officials hurriedly looked at the door.That beautiful voice, like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, really came from the mouth of a young girl.

In the depths of the silent dense forest, the sound of gurgling water is especially clear.

"Cough!" One person took a deep breath, and then coughed out.

"My lord! Are you okay?" Jin Canling stroked his arm, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and his lips were pale.

There was blood oozing from the arm he was covering, and the sleeve was already stained red with blood.Moreover, his clothes were wet, and even his hair was covered with frost.

However, he no longer cared about the pain and cold, but looked worriedly at a man sitting on the ground.

Prince Gong gasped, and the clothes on his body had already taken off.And at the waist, there was a wound half a foot long.

Prince Gong took out a porcelain bottle from his clothes, intending to give himself some medicine.Jin Canling didn't care about the injury on his arm, and hurried forward to take it, and cleaned and bandaged the wound for King Gong.

"Fortunately, the wound is not deep. It's just that you jumped into the river just now, and your body was soaked, so you might catch a cold. I don't know when they will find us. If it takes a long time, I'm afraid you will have a high fever."

Jin Canling sighed, the weather was so cold, they fled here along the upper reaches of the river, the prince was so cold that his lips turned purple.

Jin Shenling's movements were very agile, and it didn't take long before the wound was bandaged.

"My lord, you should rest here for a while, humble job to find some dead branches and leaves, we are soaked through, we have to build a fire to keep out the cold."

Prince Gong nodded, put the long sword beside him, and signaled Jin Canling to go quickly.

The wet clothes are not comfortable to stick to the body, not to mention the biting cold, it is also not good for the wound.

After Jin Shen took it away, he began to think about the attack just now.

He and his fellow subordinates were dispersed, leaving only Jin Canling by his side.

The sudden attack caught him off guard.He was careful all the way, but there was nothing blocking the way.Unexpectedly, he was about to arrive in the capital, but he didn't want to be ambushed.
