Chapter 179
After notifying everyone, Xiao Lizi ran back to the front hall and saw shopkeeper Xu sitting alone on a bench guarding the door of the medicine hall. You close the door and go together, I have found two horses. Although they are old horses, there is no problem leaving the capital."

Well, this kid is smart enough to know how to do things.Shopkeeper Xu knew that Li Min was right.Patted Xiao Lizi's shoulder with his palm: "In the future, if something happens to me, this medicine hall may rely on you to support the second girl."

"Treasurer?!" Xiao Lizi's complexion turned serious, "I have sent someone to inform the Duke Huguo's mansion without the shopkeeper's consent."

In the medicine hall, even after Li Min married into Duke Huguo's mansion, there are many people who still don't know who Li Min is and what status he is.The main reason is that this matter is kept under wraps inside the pharmacy, in case too much information leaks out and Li Min gets into unnecessary trouble.After all, Li Min is a woman, not a man.

Little Lizi is clever, so it's not surprising that he had noticed it long ago.Shopkeeper Xu opened his mouth, thinking of blaming him, but he didn't know where to start. Li Min should have been notified of this matter.However, he was afraid that once Li Min became anxious, he would rush here and clash with the government in public, which would be troublesome.

I only heard the sound of the sharp wind blowing in the night, whirring, like howling ghosts and wolves, and the sound of a group of horses' hooves, which was much more majestic than the sorrel pony that Eunuch Zhu was riding just now, at least it looked like several horses.Also, the sound of footsteps, the foot soldiers holding the pointed grass and leading the cavalry, stepping on the gravel road in a uniform pace, shaking up and down.

Someone in the house opened a window and saw a group of soldiers on the road outside, as if the yamen suddenly sent troops to arrest people at night for some reason, and hastily closed the window.

Shopkeeper Xu kicked over the stool and yelled at Xiao Lizi, "Let's go!"

Hearing the sound of the approaching troops, Little Lizi bit his lip and bowed deeply to shopkeeper Xu. After that, he rushed to the backyard like a meteor and found the horse tied to the locust tree at the back door. When the old horse got on the saddle, he could see the courtyard next door. In the courtyard separated from the medicine hall by only one wall, a candle was still standing in the wind, but it didn't move.Xiao Lizi narrowed his eyes and turned his horse's head, facing the opposite direction from the front door of the medicine hall.

The sound of horseshoes disappeared in the back alley, and a door was opened in the small courtyard next door. Fu Yan glanced out through the door, and saw that the other old horse left by Xiao Lizi hadn't untied its rope, and frowned. Got a pimple.

He turned around, turned around, walked into the room, and said to Zhu Li who was sitting on the couch, "Master Xu hasn't left."

Concubine Shu risked her life to hand over the news from the palace, shopkeeper Xu did not leave, but let all the people below leave.It can be seen that shopkeeper Xu is afraid that if he leaves, the other party will directly settle accounts with Li Min.Someone always has to come out to court against Bo.Shopkeeper Xu's concern is actually not wrong.

Under the shadow of the candlelight, Zhu Li's face became more and more inscrutable, and only his mountain-like peaked face could be seen in the afterimage of the candlelight.

"Master, why don't we hide for a while? It's hard to guarantee that people from Shuntian Mansion found us when the medicine hall was closed?" Fu Yan said.

Gongsun Liangsheng was on the side but didn't say anything. If they run away at this moment, it will make people suspicious.

Zhu Li glanced slowly over his staff, and said: "Send our people out to protect the guys in the medicine hall out of Beijing, find a place for them to live in peace, and let them come back when things calm down."

Gongsun Liangsheng just opened his mouth, stepped forward and said: "Master, all these arrangements have been made. Fortunately, the guards of the capital are not under the jurisdiction of the Shuntian Mansion. If you leave the capital, there is still a way."

"Is the admiral of the capital's garrison still Fu Zhongping?"

"Yes, the Governor of Shuntian Mansion is Mr. Yin."

Zhu Li had an idea: "These two people don't always get together."

Officials are also in groups of threes and twos.Zhu Li said this because the admiral and the governor were in public places, and no one saw that the two often nestled together, so they must have a bad relationship.A bad relationship means that if the Shuntian Mansion does something, the admiral may not cooperate, but just turn a blind eye and watch the show.

Across the wall, there was a noise from Xu's medicine hall ahead.There were rummaging, smashing, messy sounds of people and objects. Shopkeeper Xu was kicked in the stomach by someone, and he let out a groan.

There were three people in the room here, their faces turned asphalt under the candlelight, Fu Yan clenched her five-fingered fists, and the knuckles creaked.

Gongsun Liangsheng glanced at him and Zhu Li, and revealed the message: endure.

Finally, someone found the small courtyard behind and asked Shopkeeper Xu, "Is that from your pharmacy?"

"No—" Shopkeeper Xu's throat was already broken, and there might be blood in his throat, he said.

"Where are the people in your medicine hall? You are the only one?! Has someone tipped you off?!"

"No, my lord. The pharmacy is going to be closed at this time. The guys are all going home to rest. I'm in charge of locking the door. If you don't believe me, you can go to other pharmacies in the capital to see which one Is the hall still open at this hour?"

A sharp and sinister gaze seemed to pass through the wall, glanced at the small broken courtyard behind, and finally heard what shopkeeper Xu said, so he had no choice but to put it away, and ordered: "Tie up this man and send him to the governor!" .”

That is to say, when those people tied up shopkeeper Xu, a few government servants got into the backyard and knocked on the door of Zhu Li's yard: "Open the door, open the door! Shuntian Mansion is ordered to investigate the case!"

Fu Yan held her breath, went out and opened the door.When he opened the door, the ashen face just now had changed into a cowardly and honest one. He looked at the servants with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Masters, what happened?"

"Are you from the medicine hall in front?"

"Medicine hall, what pharmacy? Oh, which one is the adult talking about? No, no, no, the villain doesn't know each other. We can't go to a pharmacy we don't know to get medicine."

Several government servants looked at his face suspiciously, seeing that he was dressed in rags all over his body, the clothes were really more shabby than picking up rags, and there was a stench all over his body.The servants clenched the bridge of their noses, took half a step back, looked over his shoulder into the small yard behind him, saw that it was pitch black and smelled of tatters, so they took a few steps back and waved their hands.

Fu Yan bent down and closed the two wooden doors.Waiting for the footsteps outside the door to go away, the veins on the back of his hand holding the latch exploded.

The people from Shuntian Mansion turned Xu's medicine hall upside down, and after half a stick of incense, they took the shopkeeper Xu, who was tied up in a big way, back to do business.
