I'm crazy

Chapter 8 Arrested

The next day, when I heard that Hongli was awake, I hurried to visit him. There were already many condolence officials standing in Hongli's room.I squeezed in and saw that Hongchi's face was a little pale, and the rest was fine, so I was relieved.I didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of these adults, for fear of revealing my identity, I took a quick look and squeezed out.He planned to wait for these officials to leave before going to see the fourth brother.

The fourth brother recovered from his injury very quickly. After meeting the minister that afternoon, he, Lu Ningxiang and Liu Caoyun transported the relief food and grass in the robber's lair to Jingwei City. Lu Ningxiang said that this time it was mainly the Jingwei River that flooded, and the people on the downstream river bank suffered disasters. First, the disaster relief food and grass were transported to Jingwei City, and then distributed from Jingwei City to various disaster-stricken areas.

As soon as he arrived in Jingwei City, Hong Li was picked up by several adults to discuss disaster relief and deal with the robbery case.Lu Ningxiang told me that this time the robbers blatantly robbed the court of disaster relief materials, they should have the support of court officials, the entanglement is difficult to deal with, and it will take some time to return to the palace.

I rested at the posthouse in Jingwei City for two days. In the past two days, Hongting was dealing with affairs and no one was seen all day long. Lu Ningxiang said that she was going to arrange the martial arts conference, but there was no sign of her, leaving me to spend my days boring in the posthouse.

This day I couldn't hold it any longer, so I took Mingyue to the market in Jingwei City to buy something for Caiyun.Jingwei City is very large and prosperous. Mingyue said that the scenery of Jingwei River is charming, and tourists come to watch it every year. Over time, Jingwei City will become very rich.The street market is much more lively than expected. Although the surrounding area has just been hit by a disaster, there are not many victims in the city. It seems that the fourth brother's disaster relief arrangements are good.

There are row upon row of stalls and shops on the street, colorful, and a dazzling array of products. Many young masters gather together, shaking paper fans and shaking their heads to comment on the products.As long as I am not with fourth brother when I go out of the palace this time, I don't need to cover my face, thinking that I am also a son in this attire.If you are a literati with a paper fan, even if you don't know how to write poetry, you can recite three hundred Tang poems at least.

I thought about asking Mingyue to buy me a fan, and was about to ask Mingyue to run errands, but Mingyue pointed to the front and shouted: "Young master, it's really time for us to come out. There is a river sacrifice activity today, look at the river god in front."

I looked up and saw that there were indeed many people surrounded not far away, and the flow of people around me was also walking there.I followed the bright moon and walked forward. When I got closer, I saw several people wearing colorful clothes and strange masks with copper bells around their waists. They clapped their hands to catch drums, and moved forward while jumping. Behind them were two teams of men in gray clothes. , holding an earth-colored bowl that looks like a bowl but is bigger than a bowl, and some people behind carry a lot of pigs, sheep and cattle.

I asked Mingyue, "What do those bowl-bearers do?" Mingyue replied, "They go to the center of the river to fetch holy water, take it to the holy altar, and perform rituals, sprinkle holy water on those sacrifices, and then throw these sacrifices into the river." Come here to pay homage to the gods in the river, so that you can bless the residents along the river with good weather and good weather every year, and the river is full of fish and shrimp."

I said "oh" to show that I understood, and Mingyue continued: "Young master, let's go to the altar to watch it, it's very interesting." I didn't plan to go, the sacrifice was cruel even though it didn't see blood, seeing Mingyue's eagerly begging eyes , I smiled and said: "Okay. You are not afraid of crowding." Mingyue jumped up happily after hearing this and said, "My lord, you must have never seen it, but it is spectacular. I saw it once when I was a child, and I still remember that Scene." I followed the crowd and squeezed forward, and Mingyue opened the way in front of me.

After moving for a while, I could see a large incense burner on the altar in the distance, burning incense inside, and the smoke curled up.Suddenly, two smirks came from my ears. Before I could react, a piece of cloth was covering my mouth and nose, and I could vaguely smell a faint fragrance. I didn't even have time to struggle. The back of the bright moon's black head, I can't help but fall into the darkness helplessly.

When I woke up again, I found that my hands and feet were tied behind my back, and I was lying on my side on a wooden bed.His mouth was also blocked by the wrapped cloth, so he couldn't make a sound.After struggling, the rope didn't move at all, and it felt tighter, so I stopped struggling.

I raised my head to observe the surrounding environment, and found a young man in blue clothes sitting at a table not far from me, in his early twenties, with black hair like ink, and quite handsome, looking at me motionlessly .I hurriedly moved towards him, sending a look of begging for help, hoping that he could help me untie the rope.

Unexpectedly, the young man just watched me twist, but he didn't move at all, maintaining the posture just now.I was so angry that I stared at him. He looked at me for a while, closed his eyes, and stopped looking at me.

Still maintaining the previous posture, the right hand rests on the armrest of the chair, and the left hand rests on the left knee.With my back straight, I cursed in my heart: "Sitting so upright, you'll be surprised if you're not exhausted." Seeing that the young man didn't seem to have any intention of opening his eyes, it was useless to stare at him.

I turned around and looked at the house. The house was small, with wooden walls and low beams. It didn't look like a house on the street.At this time, someone's voice came from the outer room: "Hao Laoliu, are you sure you caught the wrong person? He is really the dog officer chasing you." The other person, Hao Laoliu, gave a "bah" and smacked his lips. Said: "Yes, absolutely, I can recognize it when it turns into ashes. Damn, this bastard has captured so many of my brothers, but he didn't expect it to fall into my hands now."

The person before said: "But it's strange to say that since he has captured so many of your brothers, it stands to reason that he is very skilled, so why did he fall into your hands so easily."

Hao Laoliu snorted: "He may be injured, damn it, those brothers of mine are not vegetarians." The man said: "Brother Hao is lucky this time, originally the food and grass were lost, the national teacher will definitely not let him go." I have done you wrong, but since I have caught such a big shot, I will definitely make up for it."

Hao Laoliu grinned and said, "Hey, brother Ma, don't say I'm lucky. If I hadn't been hiding in a tree, I would have been taken away like those brothers. If I hadn't gone to watch a sacrifice, it wouldn't be a coincidence. Unfortunately, I caught this dog official to make amends. I heard that the national teacher has arrived in Jingwei City. You have completed the task given by the national teacher. Don’t you want to be promoted? Congratulations to Brother Ma first, and I will rely on Brother Ma to be in the national teacher in the future In front of you, please speak kindly for my younger brother."

The one surnamed Ma said: "Brother, you are welcome. If you can get promoted, you don't need to say good words." After that, the surnamed Ma and the surnamed Hao chatted a few more innocuous words, and then went out.

I thought to myself that they must have regarded me as the fourth brother, and I was relieved to think that the fourth brother was fine.I looked at the man in blue sitting in front of me, still in the same posture, with his eyes closed, but there was a lot of sweat on his face, as if he was very hot.I was bored and drowsy, and I was so sore that I couldn't turn over. It was very uncomfortable. I don't know when Hong Li and Lu Ningxiang will come to rescue me.

After a while, some people came in from the outer room. It sounded like they were eating. The light in the room was a little dark. It should be night, and I felt a little hungry.These people will not give up food.

Just as I was thinking, I heard the man in blue exhale slowly, and looked up to see him standing up slowly and walking towards me.I became happy and kept motioning for him to untie me.

He put his index finger on his lips and made a silence.After I saw it, I nodded quickly to express my understanding, and stopped moving.He walked up to me, raised his hand and slammed open the window next to my bed, made a "bang", then quickly turned over and flew onto the beam.

Then the door was knocked open, and several big men rushed in, yelling in a chaotic voice: "No, people escaped from the window, chase them quickly." Pulling off the cloth on his mouth, he said, "Quickly tell me, in which direction the person ran, if you don't tell me, I will strangle you to death, just tell me!"

I trembled and casually glanced in a certain direction outside the window, and said, "It seems to be over there." The man threw me down and said, "You son of a bitch, if you know how to lie to me, you will see me when you come back, brothers, chase after me!" After finishing speaking He jumped out of the window with a wave, and the rest followed suit.

After people walked away, I breathed a sigh of relief, the man in blue jumped off the beam, grabbed me and carried me on his shoulders, walked out the window, and ran in the opposite direction.
