I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 33 Wildflowers on the Roadside

After Azhong left, Xiao Qi rushed back and saw the man sitting in front of the desk. He was surprised and asked: "Master, why are you here?"

Yang Xi frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you not to call me master in the government office?"

Xiaoqi was an orphan whose parents died when he was young. He grew up with his grandparents. In the winter of the past two years, his two elders left one after the other. Since then, he has been alone in the family.

Relying on the recommendation of his master, he entered the Yamen and got a job as a police officer.

Xiao Qi looked around, but fortunately no one heard him. He touched his head naively, "Master, there is no one here, they can't hear."

Xiao Qi scanned the dungeon and found no one who should be there. He said gloomily: "Azhong and those guys are too shameless. They just arrest people for their laziness on weekdays. Even the master has to personally take charge of the night watch. This group of people just rely on the blessing of a mountain of money to do whatever they want. I will definitely participate in their work in front of you one day!"

"I asked them to leave. It has nothing to do with them." Yang Xi picked up a pen without any distractions. Xiao Qi sat aside and studied ink with interest, "Master, is the reason you stay here because of that girl?"

Yang Xi dipped some ink and circled the key points twice, "What girl?"

"What other girl could it be? Of course it's the girl who beat Qian Rushan." Xiao Qi looked back at the cell where the prisoners were held and said, "Master is guarding here all night, isn't he afraid that Qian Rushan will die?" Hand? Master, you are a very kind person, always thinking about others but forgetting about yourself."

Yang Xi frowned and carefully studied the words on the confession, but didn't listen to anything Xiao Qi said.

Xiaoqi was used to the way his master was obsessed with official duties, and said to himself: "But that girl is so powerful. She beat her so hard that her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. She was helpless. If it were any other woman, she would have been bullied by him long ago. I didn’t expect Qian Rushan to be here today, it’s really a relief! If I have the chance to get to know her, I will definitely make friends with her!”

But Xiao Qi was overjoyed. Zhou Chenyu's frightened scream suddenly came out of the cell, "Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, help! Someone, is there anyone?"

Before he could react, Yang Xi had already put down the confession and walked over quickly, "What happened?"

Zhou Chenyu saw Yang Xi appear in front of him, with the same gloomy face.Even though she was reluctant, she still hugged the bricks and huddled in the corner near the door in fear. She pointed at the pile of thatch and said, "Yang Xi, there are insects there."

"Insects... Insects?" Xiao Qi glanced at the master secretly, and his face turned a little darker.

He quietly stepped forward to comfort him, "Miss Zhou, this is a dungeon, not an inn. It's normal to have snakes, insects, rats, and ants. You're scaring people to death with your shouting in the middle of the night, do you know that?"

The female thief across from me yawned depressingly, "That's right, I was sleeping soundly, but when you shouted like this, my sweet dream was interrupted, and you prevented anyone from sleeping!"

"This is a human instinctive reaction. Who can control it? If you had let me go a long time ago, what would happen tonight would have happened." Zhou Chenyu muttered a few words in his heart, threw the bricks away, and lay down in front of the door, crying. "I'm not afraid of mice, and I'm not afraid of cockroaches either. I'm just afraid of these squirming little bugs. Can you move me to another place?"

The dungeon is a place where prisoners are kept. How can they come and change them at any time?
Xiao Qi rolled her eyes, wondering: "Girl, it will be dawn in an hour or two, please bear with me any longer."

"But I'm really afraid of these little bugs. I feel so scared when I'm in the same room with them. Please move a place for me, or let me stay with you. I swear, I will not disturb you, let alone Run away." Zhou Chenyu was so frightened that he was trembling all over and howling.

When Xiao Qi looked at her like this, she didn't look like she was pretending at all, "Master, how about..."

Zhou Chenyu saw hope, but was ruthlessly interrupted by the cold-faced man: "No!"

why?
"Qian Rushan can go out, why can't I change rooms?" Zhou Chenyu didn't want to be nice anymore. He glared at the man in front of him and asked angrily.Yang Xi had a cold face and looked at her angry eyes in an unusually calm manner. She didn't even bother to explain with a single extra word, "If it's wrong, it's wrong. There's no reason why?"

After speaking, Yang Xi rolled up his sleeves and left without looking back.

"Miss Zhou, I'm sorry, just stay here." Xiao Qi smiled sheepishly, turned and left.

"Hey, come back!!!" Zhou Chenyu stretched out his hand outside the door and shouted until his throat was hoarse, but the two people didn't look back.

She was so angry that smoke was coming from her forehead, and she said everything: "Yang Xi, you bastard, you helped Qian Rushan and aided the tyrants, you will be punished!"

Is the master helping Qian Rushan to commit evil?
What kind of ridiculous statement is this?

Xiao Qi frowned and said, "Master, did the girl have any misunderstandings about you this week? How could master be with Qian Rushan?" He thought about it and suddenly realized: "It must be Qian Rushan and Azhong who are with you." What did she say! No, I have to explain it clearly to Miss Zhou, and I can’t tell her that she has wronged my master."

"What's the explanation? She can think whatever she wants." Yang Xi calmly sat back in his chair, picked up the confession he had just finished reading, and said in a deep voice: "The one who is clean will be cleansed by himself. I, Yang Xi, will clean up what I have not done." Have a clear conscience.”

Seeing the master's indifference, Xiaoqi didn't dare to disobey the master's wishes, so she had to give up.

The request to change cells was ruthlessly rejected, and Zhou Chenyu huddled in the only clean corner of the house, his eyes open and he didn't sleep all night.

In the early morning, a beam of sunlight shines through the skylight.

The jailer opened the door for her, "Zhou Chenyu, you can be released from prison!"

"Finally I can leave." Zhou Chenyu squatted all night, staggered up, held on to the wall, and left this hellish place without looking back.

When we walked out of the prison, it was just dawn. People on the street poured water after washing outside the door and swept away the dust in front of the door. There were only a few vendors selling breakfast on the street where people usually came and went.

Zhou Chenyu didn't touch the food given by the jailer last night. He had been hungry for several hours and his stomach was almost deflated. Looking at the freshly cooked breakfast opposite, his hungry eyes were filled with stars.

She touched her pockets and saw that all the money had been plundered by those people, and she couldn't get a penny out. In addition, she didn't sleep all night, and her eyes were so dry that it felt like her eyelashes had fallen inside, and it hurt to blink.

Zhou Chenyu turned around lonely, turned into another fork in the road, and took a shortcut home.

Suddenly I heard a familiar voice, which seemed to be Li Xiuju's: "Chen Yu, mother is here, Baoyu, wake up quickly."

Baoyu rubbed his eyes, looked at a familiar figure, and shouted: "Sister!"

Zhou Chenyu turned around suddenly, and Li Xiuju stood up holding on to the tree trunk, then stumbled and fell again.
