Miao'an's farming life

The returned corn is still full and hung on the temporary shelf in the yard of my hometown, and it can be threshed after a few days of drying.Seeing that Miao An didn't have much work, Rong Che dragged him to the town to go to the market. He could accept the short life of his parents, but he still preferred lively places.

"Mo Su, let's go then." Miao An said to Mo Su as he walked out.He also knew that he had neglected Mo Su these few days, but Rong Che said he would stay for a few days, and he planned to make up for Mo Su after he left.

"Be careful on the road." Mo Su's voice came from the room.

"Got it, got it." Rong Che pushed people out the door, don't worry about safety, he still has hidden guards.

Miao An took Rong Che to the restaurant first, and after a lively discussion, he remembered something that could be used for the restaurant's development.Rong Che walked around the restaurant rubbing his chin like a curious baby, nodding repeatedly to the fast food restaurant, praising Miao An for doing a good job.Afterwards, the two of them went to Shuxiangyuan again, and then wandered around as they wished.

When passing by the county government office, Miao An thought about the case of the two thieves. The county magistrate hadn't given them a result yet, so he asked the yamen servant at the door with a feeling of trying. Said that if the case is closed, it will definitely be passed on to them.

Miao An sighed, how many days has it been, it won't be so fruitless.

"Do you want me to ask for you?" Rong Che pulled him aside, approached him and asked in a low voice.

"Is it convenient? It's best if you can remind me." Although Miao An knew that he was the prince, he really didn't think about hugging his thigh.

"It's all trivial matters." Rong Che said with a smile.

The two were about to leave when they were stopped by the yamen servant. "Wait a minute, those two little brothers, the county magistrate asked you to come in and talk."

Full of doubts, Miao An and Rong Che entered the yamen, and the magistrate was waiting for them in the side room next to the lobby. They were not wearing official uniforms, and they were less majestic and more accommodating.

"I remember your name is Miao An, right? You sit down first." The county magistrate greeted the person to sit down, and someone came in outside the door and delivered two cups of tea.

"I don't know why your lord called us here? But have you found the mastermind behind the culprit?" Miao An said.

The magistrate seemed a little hesitant, and seemed to organize his words before speaking: "Actually, even if you don't come to ask today, I will have someone call you over. Now that the two culprits have pleaded guilty, I think this case will be closed like this." , Of course, I won’t treat you badly, and I will have all the compensation you deserve. What do you think? Do you need to go back and discuss it?”

No, what does this mean?Don't look down anymore?Miao An frowned, "May I ask, did you encounter difficulties in investigating the case? Your Excellency, you also know that we really want to know who is planning the manuscript."

"I understand." The county magistrate nodded, "But I have to tell you, if this matter continues to be investigated, it will not be good for you or me, so accept it as soon as it is good. I will supervise those two people and give you money. Come on ,see a visitor out."

The magistrate got up and called someone to take Miao An and the others out.In fact, it's not that he didn't find out anything. On the contrary, he found out too much, so he didn't dare to continue. Stopping here is the best way to deal with it.

The two "invited" people stood at the gate of the county government office, looking at each other, speechless.In the end it was Miao An who spoke first: "What do you think?"

"The old man is afraid."

"It seems that the people behind the scenes are not simple." Miao An sighed, but he didn't know if he would stop there. It seemed that he had to finish writing the rest of "Journey to the West" and send it away.

"It's either that the magistrate is protecting you, or the other party is more powerful than the magistrate." Rong Che nodded, "But don't worry, I'll find someone to handle this matter soon."

"Thank you." Miao An patted him on the shoulder and led him to eat delicious food.

——————Someone’s empty and boring dividing line———————

Because there is no lack of anything at home for the time being, Miao An went out with Rong Che only after lunch, just for a stroll, but Ke Cheng thought that he didn't come back when it was time for dinner. Mo Su finished the dinner and set up the bowls Chopsticks, even Yoyo came back, the two are still missing.

Seeing that the sun was gone and the sky was getting darker, Mo Su couldn't sit still.

"Yuyou, you eat first, I'll go to the entrance of the village to have a look." Before going out, he brought the proof of setting up a stall with him. If he has this, the city gate will be closed, and he can enter the city before the curfew time.

"Yeah." Yoyo replied, but didn't move her chopsticks.

Standing at the entrance of the village for a while, Mo Su kept his gaze fixed on the road back from the town, and there were no people there at this time.Feeling in a mess in his heart, he simply walked to the town. Anyway, Miao An was the only way back, so he would not miss it.But when he walked all the way to the closed city gate, Mo Su didn't see anyone.

"Is it possible that you want to spend the night in the town? Then you should send yourself a letter."

While guessing the possibility, Mo Su took out his own proof, and the guard in charge of the city gate checked and opened the gate to let him in.Although he was in a hurry, Mo Su was not flustered. He went to the restaurant first and then came to the restaurant. The shopkeeper was eating in the backyard. He was quite surprised to see Mo Su coming. After clarifying the situation, he said that Miao An was indeed with a brother whom he had never seen before. I've been here, but it was just after noon, and I haven't seen him since.

According to the shopkeeper, Miao An would go to Shuxiangyuan after leaving the restaurant, and Mo Su knocked on the door of the bookstore shopkeeper, but only got the news that Miao An had been there and left.

He also asked about the inns in the town, and he went to all the places he could think of, but there was no trace of Miao An and Rong Che. Finally, Mo Su couldn't help but walked to the yamen, hesitating whether to report the crime.

"Hey, yes, it's you." The yamen servant at the door stopped the wandering Mo Su, and waved to him, "Come here."

"I'm sorry, I'm just... I'll leave right away." Mo Su thought he couldn't hang around here, so he wanted to leave.

"Hey, wait. Aren't you the author of Journey to the West?" The yamen servant also read this book, so he was impressed by Mo Su after knowing the author, "Your husband came here before and chatted with the county magistrate for a while. "

Mo Su's expression was a little excited when he heard this, "Then can I see the county magistrate? My husband and another relative haven't come home yet, and I've searched all possible places in the town."

"I'm going to report."

After a while, the yamen servant came back to say that the county magistrate agreed.

The county magistrate didn't expect that the person would disappear, so he talked about the manuscript case again, and then asked Mo Su to go back and wait. If he still doesn't see the person tomorrow night, he can report to the official.

"Maybe I just went somewhere to play, I forgot to mention."

"Thank you, my lord. The grass-roots will leave first." Mo Su didn't care about any thieves, and wished to ask the county magistrate to send someone to look for Miao An immediately, but the case cannot be filed now, so he can only go back and have a look.

Here, Miao An and Rong Che were tied up, gagged, blindfolded and thrown into the carriage.The carriage seemed to be in a hurry, and the speed was so fast that the two of them felt that their bones were about to fall apart.

Not long after they came out of the yamen, when they were passing through a remote alley, they were stopped by a group of masked men who suddenly appeared, and then they were tied up and started on their way.Miao An didn't know that Rong Che had hidden guards, but Rong Che signaled the hidden guards not to intervene. He wanted to see what the other party's purpose was, whether it was aimed at Miao An, or aimed at him.

After bumping all night and half an afternoon, at dawn, the carriage finally slowed down. Hearing the sounds from outside, it seemed that he had entered the city and arrived at a crowded place. Soon, the hustle and bustle gradually faded away. There was only the sound of the carriage driving by.

"Where are we tied up to? Mo Su is still waiting for me to go back." Miao An said softly, her tone was anxious, she was so bumped up all the way that she didn't even want to say anything, but now she's feeling better.

"Who knows, it shouldn't be close." Rong Che tilted his head, "Don't worry, I sent someone back to report."

Hearing this, Miao An felt relieved, he didn't return all night, and if there was no news, Mo Su would definitely go crazy.And since Rong Che said so, there must be someone following them, so there should be no need to worry about safety.

After a while, the carriage stopped, and someone came in and dragged them out, pushing them all the way.

When tearing off the black cloth, Miao An squinted his eyes from the bright light. When he regained his sight, he found that they were in the middle of an empty room, and a middle-aged man with a pot belly was sitting on a chair in front of him, smiling. looking at him.Standing next to him was a tall, thin and about 30-year-old man with a mischievous face, staring straight at Rong Che.

"Miao An, a native of Qingling Village. His parents passed away. He has a younger brother named Miao You. Last year, he married Mo Su of the Mo family. He sold couplets, wrote books, and sold apples. Is that right?"

Miao An frowned, "Who are you? You seem to be a wealthy person, how can you find the details of a poor person like me?" And he actually knew that Mo Su was not the one who wrote the book, but himself.

The other party smiled and shook his head, "You are not an ordinary poor person who can write "Journey to the West". As for me, it's better not to know. I won't embarrass you, as long as you tell me everything behind the book Just fine."

"You were the one who let someone steal the manuscript before?" Miao An asked.

"That's right, I was the one who got your manuscript. It's a pity that he was so stupid that he found two gangsters. He had no choice but to invite you over."

"Why do you think I'm the one who wrote the book? I didn't go to school."

"You hid it well, but I have my own way." The man straightened up, and raised his hand to signal the people around him to go over to the table to take notes, "Okay, don't talk about the waste, there are pens, inks, papers and inkstones over there. You can go, and I will give you a sum of money to shock you."

Rong Che narrowed his eyes contemptuously: "What if we refuse?"

"Oh, no?" The man who picked up the pen rubbed his chin, and looked at the two with wretched eyes, "The master said, we can do whatever we want, as long as no one is killed."

After confirming the other party's purpose, Rong Che didn't want to drag Miao An to suffer together, so he whistled to signal the hidden guards to move, but there was no movement after waiting for a long time.

"What's going on?!" He suddenly turned his head and stared at the fat man.

The man rubbed his stomach, and said lightly, "You mean the guards who followed you? It seems that you are also from a rich family, but we used a trick on the way, where did they go with another carriage?" We don't know."

"Damn it!" Rong Che suddenly regretted that he should have had the masked man arrested and left. "Do you believe me when I say that I am a relative of the emperor?"

"Letter." Fatty nodded, "I'm still the prince."

"you……"

"Let's write." Seeing that the other party didn't believe Rong Che's words, Miao An sighed inwardly, now he could only rely on himself, "But can you let this person go out?"

He was referring to the skinny guy with disgusting eyes, the fat one would be easier to deal with because he only seemed to care about the manuscript.

"Don't you know how to write?" The fat man looked at him warily, afraid that he would play tricks.

"I can't, but my cousin can. Can't you go to receive the reward earlier if you finish writing earlier?"

The fat man hesitated for a moment, and finally took the thin man out and helped them untie the ropes on their bodies.Rong Che jumped up and rubbed his arms: "It's numb, that skinny man is so disgusting, untie the rope and use his hands and feet, I will definitely kill him when I go out! Even if the dark guard is lost, he will find it soon Yes, that book can't let these scumbags out."

Of course, Miao An refused to obediently hand over the continuation of the book to others, so he nodded, and went to the door to listen to the movement, it would be best if he could find a chance to escape.

After a while, footsteps came, and it was the fat man who brought the food. Seeing that they hadn't done anything yet, he warned them again not to play tricks, and to write quickly.The two responded face to face, and continued to discuss countermeasures as soon as they went out.

After staying like this until noon, in order to deal with the fat man who came in from time to time, Rong Che sat at the table and pretended to write a few words.

When the fat man brought lunch again, there was a sudden commotion in the yard, as if there was a fight. The fat man's face tightened, he dropped his things and rushed out quickly, but he didn't forget to lock the door.

Miao An and Rong Che hurried to the door and observed the situation through the hole they made earlier.Because of the angle, they could only see the swaying figure, but Rong Che recognized the clothes of the hidden guard, and the two immediately felt relieved.

Soon, someone came quickly and unlocked the door, but it was not the hidden guard, but the thin man from before.Despite the inconspicuous size of the other party, but his strength is not small, he pushed the two of them into the middle of the room, entered with a young man and locked the door, and then rushed to the wall behind the grand master's chair to grope, it seemed that there was a secret passage .

Sure enough, he didn't know where he pressed, after a click, a door appeared on the wall, the thin man hurried over, and he and the servant pulled one to go there.

How could Miao An and Rong Che be caught without a fight, and struggled desperately, but my brother's strength is relatively weak, and the two of them didn't take any medicine because they were afraid that there would be medicine in the meal, so they haven't had a drop of rice since noon yesterday , the body is more exhausted.

Perhaps because the will to survive was too strong, Miao An broke free from the servant's hand, rushed to the table, picked up the inkstone, and smashed it on the other's forehead, knocking him down.

After solving this problem, he hurried over to help Rong Che, but he didn't expect the thin man to know martial arts. Although he wasn't very good at martial arts, he managed to knock out the murder weapon in Miao An's hand. Miao An and Rong Che could only rely on tug of war. Drag delay time.

Someone outside started to smash on the door, and the thin man became anxious, and directly slashed Miao An unconscious with a knife, and stopped caring about Rong Che, picked up the man and ran away.

Rong Che rushed up and hugged him by the waist, trying to press him down, but he was in a stalemate when the door was kicked open, and a person rushed to the skinny man with lightning speed, and pulled Rong Che past him with one hand, He grabbed Miao An with one hand and kicked him to the ground.

Rong Che relaxed, his whole body went limp, Mo Su hurried over from behind, picked up the fainted Miao An, and the person just now picked up Rong Che and hugged him.

"What are you doing! Let me down quickly. I'm the prince!"

"No. You will be my husband soon, you have to listen to me."
