Ci Jinzhi

A team of officers and soldiers came and surrounded the carriage.

"Stop!"

Facing the menacing officers and soldiers, the coachman clenched the reins tightly, at a loss.

The leading officer glanced at the quiet carriage, and said coldly: "The people inside come out!"

After a while, the curtains of the car were lifted, revealing Xiao Lian's face: "Our girl is in the car, what happened?"

The leading officer and soldier took a look at the pretty little maid, and then took a closer look at the carriage.

Ordinary green curtained carriage, no sign of any house can be seen.

The leader of the officers and soldiers judged that the person sitting in the carriage was not a noble person, and cupped his hands perfunctorily: "We are under the command of the commander of the Beijing camp, Wu Dadu, and we are ordered to arrest fugitives. We also ask the girl to get out of the carriage and cooperate with the inspection."

The curtains of the car were lowered, and the curtain of the door was raised after a while. The maid who had spoken before stepped on the horse stool and got out of the car, and turned around to help the girl in the car to get off.

The leader of the officers and soldiers stared at the girl who got off the carriage, seeing that she was plain all over, with only a gold hairpin stuck in her black hair, she felt relieved, sitting on the horseback and condescendingly asked: "Have you ever seen a girl?" young man?"

Xin You raised her head slightly, and met the eyes of the officers and soldiers above: "Young men are everywhere, I don't know what kind of question the poor man is asking?"

This calm answer made the leading officer and soldier frown.

He originally thought that there was an ordinary Xiaojiabiyu in the carriage, and it was normal to be scared and cry when facing the tall and powerful official with a sword in his hand, but he didn't expect to see him wrong.

In this case, maybe he really has the courage to hide the prisoner.

"It's a young man in ragged clothes, of medium stature, on the thin side, with handsome features..."

After Xin You waited for the leading officer to finish speaking, he said apologetically, "Sorry, we haven't seen such a person along the way. Have you, Uncle Sun?"

Uncle Sun is the coachman. When asked suddenly, he quickly agreed, "I haven't seen it before."

The leading officers and soldiers looked at Xin You and the coachman, and finally looked at the carriage parked quietly on the side of the road, and raised their chins: "Go and have a look in the car."

Xiao Lian's face changed drastically: "No way!"

The leader of the officers and soldiers looked at the little girl who was facing the enemy, and sneered: "What? Could there be something shady in the car? Or is it that you are harboring fugitives!"

Xiaolian knew that her gaffe had aroused the other party's suspicion, and she was annoyed and blamed herself. Fortunately, she had experienced a lot of things with Xinyou for so long, and she quickly realized: "Master, don't get me wrong. There are a lot of us in the car." The things used by girls are all men, so it’s really inconvenient—"

"Inconvenient?" The leading officer held the scabbard in his hand, his face covered with dark clouds.

"Xiao Lian, go and open the door curtain." Xin You said lightly.

"Yes." Xiaolian replied, and went forward to open the door curtain.

The carriage can be seen to the bottom at a glance. Inside, there are several boxes and cages fixed along the wall of the car, and there is a table. In addition to this, there is a big burden, and there are several cloth bags and thin blankets hanging on the wall of the car.

The leader of the officers and soldiers took a glance, and saw no place to hide someone, but the man who was at large was really important, and it was hard to be reconciled to losing clues like this.

"Go and check under the car."

Soon an officer and soldier walked in to check.

Seeing this, Xiao Lian was secretly afraid.

If the monkey hadn't discovered the person hiding under the car, they wouldn't be able to clean up even if they jumped into the Yellow River.

"Captain, I didn't find it."

"excuse me."

The leading officer and soldier glanced at the carriage again, and when he was about to leave while pulling the reins, his eyes fell directly on the bag: "What's in the bag?"

Judging by the size of the baggage, it is naturally impossible to hide a man, but it is still a little strange to see.

Xiao Lian gritted her teeth tightly, her hands shaking from nervousness.

Xin You replied calmly: "It's just my clothes and other things that I changed."

Before the leading officer could speak, she walked over, took out a bank note from her purse, and stuffed it into the other party's hand: "My daughter's clothes are inconvenient for outsiders to see, and I hope the messenger will be considerate. I really don't want to delay the messenger's time." Excuse me, buy a glass of water and wine when the poor man is free."

The leader of the officers and soldiers looked down and looked at Xin You with a different expression: "The girl is really generous."

A little girl actually got 50 taels of silver bills when she made a move.

Xinyou winked at Xiaolian.

Having been together for so long, the master and the servant had a tacit understanding, Xiao Lian raised her voice and said, "What's the matter, our girl even donated 5 taels of silver to the disaster victims in Dingbei!"

The leading officer's expression was shocked, and Xin You's eyes were different: "Are you Miss Kou?"

Today in the capital, there are many people who have never seen Miss Kou, but not many people who have never heard of Miss Kou.

Xin You nodded in agreement.

"Excuse me." The leader of the officers and soldiers cupped their hands, and the evil thoughts that had arisen from seeing the 50 taels of silver bills dissipated, and they quickly rode away with their men.

Miss Kou has a name in the Tian family, so it's not worth offending her.

Xin You watched the group of people walk away with coldness in her eyes.

The subordinates of the Jingying commander don't seem to have a good style of work. When the leader saw the bank note just now, he obviously wanted to seize the money, which is why she gave Xiaolian a wink to reveal her identity.

Back in the car, Xiao Lian looked remorseful: "It's because the servant girl is not good, she is too restless, that made the officers and soldiers suspicious."

"Don't think too much, it's natural for you to be nervous."

Kou Qingqing's bones were hidden in the package, not to mention that Xiaolian was nervous, she didn't dare to take the slightest risk of being opened by the officers and soldiers, so she would rather show her money and send those people away.

"Who the hell is that young man? He was implicated by him for no reason!" Xiao Lian became very angry whenever she thought about the consequences of being unwrapped.

"Maybe . . . a poor man."

If she hadn't dealt with those officers and soldiers, Xin You would not have thought so, but now that she has a bad impression of those officers and soldiers, it is inevitable to have such speculations.

But these were an episode after all, and then the carriage turned around and went to a farm.

This farm is also Kou Qingqing's. It was one of the properties that Xinyou wanted to return to. It was Xiaolian's proposal to bury Kou Qingqing here.

Shaoqing's mansion is not a home, and the former home cannot be returned, and it is half of the family buried here.

There is a small hill within the range of the farm. Xinyou arranged for people to dig a hole in advance and prepare the coffin. Afterwards, she and Xiao Lian personally completed the burial of Kou Qingqing.

After more than an hour, a new grave appeared, and Xiao Lian knelt in front of the grave and burned a lot of paper money.

Not long after the Qingming Festival, the paper money that burned into ashes was swept away by the spring wind, and I don’t know how many fly ash that entrusted the sorrow of the world met.

It was getting dark unconsciously, Xin You leaned over and patted Xiao Lian on the shoulder: "Go back, I can come and see Miss Kou anytime in the future."

Xiao Lian nodded, Kou Qingqing's peace made her feel a lot easier.

And Xin You also unloaded a burden, looked back at the lonely grave before leaving, and said softly in her heart: Kou Qingqing, bless me to go smoothly, wish me everything, I will be with you when I come back.
