Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2601 Escape from the Tiger's Mouth
On this day, Yuan Shuzhi was continuing his auditing career.In the past few days, he hadn't seen Taoist Mu Shi very much, and he hadn't seen Quan Youde again, and even the senior officials who had to show their faces every day were gone.The servants who came to deliver the meals also had new faces.The two servants who were originally guarding the courtyard gate, Yuan Shuzhi had become very familiar with them, suddenly became strangers.His face was full of ferocity.

He knew that this was a very dangerous signal. The people in charge disappeared one after another, indicating that this place was considered unsafe. He was left in this unsafe place, indicating that he was not an important person. , There is only one fate for a non-core person like him who "knows too much": to be silenced.

Yuan Shuzhi was worried in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only observe secretly every day to see if there was any chance of escape.Although he didn't know the way in the mountains after escaping from the farm, it was better than waiting here to die in fear.

After finishing the ledger, Yuan Shuzhi let out a sigh of relief.Wrapped up the ledger, put it in a basket and carried it out.Every time I deliver the ledger and take the ledger, I always put it in the basket like this and hand it over at the gate of the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, when it was delivered to the gate of the courtyard, there was no new ledger.Yuan Shuzhi was startled.

"Didn't a new ledger arrive today?" he asked.

"If you don't have it, you don't have it. How do we know?" The gatekeeper said in a nasty voice, with contempt in his eyes.

Yuan Shuzhi secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, but he could only retreat in the face of the gatekeeper who refused to enter and knew nothing about the outside situation.

The current plan is to escape as soon as possible!Yuan Shu knew in his heart that no more new books is an extremely dangerous signal, indicating that his use value is about to be exhausted, and he is about to be wiped out!
Just as he was thinking about how to escape, the long-lost senior executive appeared.

"Mr. Shu, how have you been?"

Seeing the gloomy and non-smiling face of the senior executive, Yuan Shuzhi's hair stood on end, and he tried to calm down and said, "Thanks to the senior executive's family, he is still in good health."

"I was ordered by my master to move a place for my husband today." The executive said, "Please clean it up, sir, and we will be on our way as soon as possible."

When Yuan Shuzhi heard the word "on the road", it was like five thunderbolts.Heart said: "My life is over!"

However, the high-ranking officials and several vicious servants are present, so what can he do as a powerless literati?I had to obey obediently.Go back to the house and pack up the clothes and money.Secretly smiled bitterly: I don't know which of these things is cheaper in the end!
After packing up the things, there was already a sedan chair waiting outside.Yuan Shuzhi got into the sedan chair and could only resign himself to fate.

At this time, it was getting late outside, and the sedan chair and a group of people were walking on the mountain road, only to hear the night owl screaming strangely outside the sedan chair, and the mountain wind howling, Yuan Shuzhi was in a state of confusion at this moment, and wanted to lift the curtain of the sedan chair to have a look outside , but found that the car curtain was almost fixed.This time I became more and more desperate.

I don't know how long I walked in the dark before the sedan chair stopped.Only the senior executives outside said: "Everyone has worked hard these days. This is a reward from the Taoist priest. Each person received 20 yuan and took them home. Don't mention the old things here again!"

I only heard a few people outside thanking them.He also heard the senior officer say: "Wine, meat and dry food are all rewarded by the Taoist priest. You can take them with you on the way and eat them. There is a ruined temple here. If anyone is worried that the road will be difficult at night, you might as well rest here for one night and come back tomorrow." Okay. If you are in a hurry, you can go now."

When the sound of footsteps and talking outside gradually faded away, and there was no sound outside for a long time, Yuan Shuzhi was at a loss when suddenly the car curtain was lifted, and the senior executive stood outside with a blank face, and said coldly: "Here we are, come out."

Yuan Shuzhi got out of the sedan chair, and saw that this was a small piece of flat land among the mountains, surrounded by pitch blackness, and could not see anything clearly. By the moonlight, he could faintly see a half-decayed house, probably a deserted old temple.

Above the mountains, a crescent moon hangs high, and the clouds cover the moon, which is indescribably blurred and weird.

Yuan Shuzhi was surprised, and the executive said: "Mr. Shu, we met once, and today is the end of our fate. The farm is not a place to stay for a long time. You have made a lot of money in the past few months, which should be enough to spend Now, take the money and go on your own journey."

Yuan Shuzhi looked stunned. He thought that the sedan chair would be a knife and an axe, and his life would be in this barren mountain, but he didn't expect the other party to say such a thing.

It seems unnecessary to say that he is deceiving himself.Arriving here, it's already a fish on the sword, why should the senior executives play this hypocritical trick on himself again?
Yuan Shuzhi didn't know what to do at this moment, so he could only bow down and say, "Thank you to the senior management. I have been taking care of you these days, and the students will not live here."

After finishing speaking, he carried the burden on his back and was about to leave along the way he came.The senior officer said again: "You don't want to go this way, just go this way." After that, he pointed to a vaguely discernible path among the grass and trees, "Just follow this road, don't turn back, and don't go to the road." Thinking of other paths is a dead end!"

Yuan Shuzhi's heart was almost in his throat, and he said tremblingly: "Student, student understands!"

Just as he raised his foot and wanted to leave, he heard the senior official behind him say: "The road is difficult, don't be burdened by things outside of you!"

At this moment, Yuan Shuzhi only wanted to run away quickly. He didn't care about anything outside his body, so he quickly left the package and left alone.

Walking all the way along the path covered with deep grass, you can't even see the terrain clearly, not to mention the path in the four fields.Although he knew that the future of this small road was unpredictable, maybe there was a ghost waiting for him in front of him.But at this moment, he could only bite the bullet and grope forward,

The mountain roads are rough and difficult to walk, and in some places, only one person can walk sideways, which is very steep.In some places, the trails are completely annihilated among the weeds and bushes, and we can only find our way in the weak moonlight.Yuan Shuzhi walked and crawled, very embarrassed.Seeing that the crescent moon had passed the mid-heaven, Yuan Shuzhi reckoned that he had walked a long way, so he stopped and looked back, only to see a fire light seven or eight miles away, and he knew that it was probably the ruined temple he had seen just now .My heart became more and more worried, and I didn't dare to stop anymore, rolling and crawling along the road all the way.

After finally getting to the twilight, seeing the mountain gradually slowing down, I knew that I was about to leave the mountain. Although the journey was thrilling, nothing unexpected happened, and I was relieved.

Turning around the mountain depression, he saw a wild tea stand by the river beach not far away. He felt relieved, finally arrived at a place where there are people!

He walked quickly all night, because he was afraid but didn't feel tired.At this moment, when he arrived at a place where there were people, his whole body felt as if he had lost all strength, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

After panting on the ground for a long time, after a night of fatigue, I only felt hungry and thirsty, and my whole body was sore, so I got up and went to the tea shed to sit down.

It was still early, but there were already tea customers in the tea shed. Yuan Shuzhi also ignored other things and greeted the waiter.

Unexpectedly, when the waiter didn't come, the old man sitting in front turned around. Yuan Shu was stunned unknowingly: Isn't this the old man Gao who came to Huizhou by boat with him!
When old man Gao saw that it was him, his face was full of joy, he got up and bowed to him and said, "Mr. Shu, how have you been?"

"Okay, okay," Yuan Shuzhi was still in shock. At this time, seeing the old man Gao who had met once in the wild place, he felt very close to him, and said involuntarily, "I finally saved my life!"

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.Old man Gao didn't take it seriously, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Shu has great fortune and destiny, and he is a man of good fortune. Although there is a tea shed here, it is not a place to stay for a long time. Sir, walk south along the river beach for more than ten miles The land is Boluo County."

Yuan Shuzhi was taken aback, not knowing where the old man Gao came from.

The old man Gao laughed, and said seriously: "Mr. Shu, although you and I only met each other once, we also had friendship on the same boat."

The implication is self-explanatory. Although Yuan Shuzhi didn't know it, he probably knew that he had a narrow escape this time, and the old man Gao probably helped him escape.

Although I didn't understand it in my heart, I still want to thank you for saving my life.He hurriedly said: "Master Gao! Although I don't know the reason, but..."

The old man Gao waved his hands again and again, and said in a low voice: "I understand what you mean! I understand it too! There is no need to be polite. It's just that you don't stay in Huizhou any longer. You have to stay longer in Boromo, and return to Guangzhou as soon as possible. Go." After speaking, he gave another burden, "This is the dry food I prepared for you, you can take it and eat it on the road."

Yuan Shuzhi was inexplicably grateful, and hurriedly put the things away, only to find that there was a heavy bag in the bag, as if there were still silver taels.He didn't even speculate: "Thank you for your kindness! Master Gao's kindness and righteousness will never be forgotten by students!"

After saying that, he drank a pot of tea and hurried to Boluo
At this moment, his heart was full of question marks, and all the things he experienced from last night to this morning were like a strange dream.The high-level officials took them to the ruined temple, apparently for the purpose of killing people, and the flames of the ruined temple later seemed to prove this point.They plan to rebel against such a major event, and they will definitely not let the relevant personnel survive.

But why did this senior executive let himself go?This is a very risky thing. Maybe he himself will be silenced, and he even rescued him. Could it be that he did it on purpose and followed orders?What do Taoists want to do?
The strangest thing is that this is a tall old man, although he has a relationship with him once, but it stops there, and he can't even talk about friendship, let alone kindness.And this rescue, it seems that he also has a part.

Reminiscing that both senior officials and old man Gao have the surname Gao... Yuan Shuzhi suddenly thought of this, and was stunned.

Old man Gao came to Huizhou from Guangzhou with him, and he also said that he is from Huizhou. In this way, they are probably a family!

Although he couldn't understand the other party's motives, since he was out of trouble, he had better rush back to Boluo County as soon as possible and report the relevant situation to Lu Cheng.Now this group of people is not only stealing medicine, but also plotting rebellion.If you can crack it in time, you will be a great achievement!
