Chapter 1002: Wounded
"Uncle Qin, go open the door, remember! Let's not mess with ourselves, we must deal with it calmly. Liu Su'er instructed Uncle Qin again.
Uncle Qin settled down and turned around to open the door, but he didn't want to be stopped by Liu Su'er again. Liu Su'er saw that Uncle Qin's clothes were a little scattered, so she nodded and asked him to open the door.
Uncle Qin pulled the latch of the door and yawned loudly.
"Oops! Ladies and gentlemen! This is? As soon as Uncle Qin saw someone coming, his eyes, which were still sleepy, immediately opened up.
At this moment, he had some fear on his face, and looked at the three officials outside at a loss.
"Your name is Huang Gao?" First, a soldier glanced at Uncle Qin, and then looked down at the file in his hand.
This is a household register on file with the government, which not only contains the population and name of each household, but also records the basic characteristics of the person.
The owner of the house here, Huang Gao, is a man in his forties, and his ancestors are not rich, but he also has a small property. When it came to Huang High School's generation, the others were all taken care of by the descendants, and only two small courtyards remained. This is one of them.
Uncle Qin's heart sank, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "Official! The villain just rented Master Huang's yard, and we can't afford such a house in the capital. ”
Seeing Uncle Qin's sincere and frightened appearance, the first person gradually took off some of the precautions in his heart.
Although this person's age looks about the same as Huang Gao's age, the appearance on the household registration record is not similar to this person, and his stature is not as tall as this person.
Look at this man's white-washed muslin cloth, but it is not patched. It's just that the clothes are a little messy, and when I think about opening the door just now, I was in a bit of a hurry to get dressed.
They often have search errands, so they observe more carefully in the subtleties.
"How long have you been renting this yard?" The official at the front pushed Uncle Qin away, and then walked towards the courtyard.
"Official! It's been three or four months. It's not that I heard that the imperial city was prosperous, and I wanted to come out to do some small business, so I wanted to come to the capital to join my relatives. Who would have thought that the relatives had not been found, they would have moved a long time ago. No way, since you're here, let's stay here. ”
Uncle Qin rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly.
"So what do you do? What is the name of the relative? How many people do you have in your family? Tell them all to come out. ”
The first official asked three questions in succession, and then the other two looked around the courtyard.
It's just a very small yard, and it's just a pile of firewood and two small ginkgo trees.
There are many small courtyards like this in Nancheng, and the layout is very ordinary.
"The villain and my mother-in-law set up a small stall at the corner of the street to the west, where we sold some wontons. The villain has been sold for more than two months, and I haven't seen a few officials, but the villain knows the Cui Guanye who works with you! He used to come to our stall to eat wontons. ”
When the three officials heard each other call each other Master Cui, they couldn't help but relax a little more.
Isn't the surname Cui Da the one they worked with together? They are all colleagues, and since the other party still knows their colleagues, there should be no problem.
"A few of us don't patrol here on weekdays, but we were temporarily dispatched today." One of them pale, and even opened his mouth to explain.
"Those three officials often come to the villain's stall to eat wontons, this craft is still learned from my mother, she is from Jiangnan, the wontons are a little different from here in the north, you must go to taste them, the villain will definitely not charge money."
As soon as Uncle Qin said this, the faces of the three of them immediately eased a lot as if the ice had melted.
"It's for sure to try it, you don't have to, you don't have to make a lot of money in this small business."
That being said, when the small traders on that street saw them, where did they dare to charge them copper coins?
Naturally, they were invited to eat, and they were just polite.
"Although we are all acquaintances, we still have to do business. I just asked you where you are from and what are the names of your relatives? Where's your mother-in-law? Why hasn't it come out yet? ”
Two of them were a little reluctant to waste time here, so they planned to leave here. But the other felt that even if it was perfunctory, they had to go inside and take a look, otherwise if they did let the Assassins go, they would definitely be waxed.
Besides, the man at the mouth of the alley is still sitting in the carriage waiting! How dare they act so-so?
So one of them began to urge.
"The villain is from Xiaguan Mansion, and there is a mother-in-law at home, and she also brought a niece with her this time. Relatives"
Speaking of relatives, Uncle Qin paused. When they came to the capital, they didn't come to find relatives, if they said a name indiscriminately, but they couldn't find this person in the household registration, wouldn't they be suspected?
I knew that I didn't say that I was here to join my relatives, and Uncle Qin regretted it in his heart.
"Uncle! What's going on? ”
Suddenly a voice came from inside the house, and the three officials hurriedly looked at the door. The beautiful voice like a yellow warbler out of the valley really came from the mouth of a young girl.
In the depths of the silent forest, the sound of gurgling water is exceptionally clear.
"Ahem!" One took a deep breath, then coughed.
"Lord Wang! Are you alright? The golden ginseng collar stroked his arm, his brow furrowed, and his lips pale.
Blood oozed from the arm he was holding, and his sleeve was already stained red with blood. And his clothes were wet, and even his hair was frosty.
However, he no longer cared about the pain and cold, and looked at a man sitting on the ground with a worried expression.
King Gong gasped as his clothes had receded. And at the waist, there was a wound half a foot long.
King Gong took out a porcelain vase from his clothes and planned to give himself medicine. Jin Shenling didn't care about the injury on his arm, and hurriedly stepped forward to take it and clean and bandage the wound for King Gong.
"Fortunately, the wound is not deep, but just now you jumped into the river and your body was soaked, I am afraid that you will be infected with the wind cold. I don't know when they will find us, and if they delay for a long time, I am afraid that you will have a high fever. ”
Jin Shenling sighed, the weather was so cold, they fled here along the upper reaches of the river, and the prince was so cold that his lips were purple.
Jin Shenling's movements were very neat, and it didn't take long for the wound to be bandaged.
"Lord Wang, you rest here for a while, and go to find some dead branches and rotten leaves, we are soaked, and we have to build a fire to ward off the cold."
King Gong nodded, put the long sword beside him, and motioned for Jin Shenling to go quickly.
This wet garment is not pleasant to stick to the body, it is cold and biting, and it is not good for the wound.
After Jin Shen took it away, he began to think about the attack just now.
He and his subordinates were scattered, and only Jin Shenling was left with him.
The sudden attack caught him a little off guard. He was cautious all the way, but there was no obstacle that he didn't open his eyes. Who knew that he was about to arrive in the capital, but he didn't want to be ambushed.
