Chapter 727

Before walking to Runan City, Cui Baiyu deliberately lifted the curtain and glanced out, then shook his head slightly, and retreated into the carriage.

Runan Cui clan, a family in the world.

These are the eight words that most people in the empire know, it is not easy to confirm whether it is Runan Cui Shi or Cui Shi Runan, but in the past, the Cui family was Runan, and Runan was the Cui family.

The Cui family originated in Runan City, and the Cui family was a local wealthy family for hundreds of years. Now the imperial family of the empire is the Li family, but when the Li family first came out to fight the country, the Cui family was already a feudal official and an important minister in the court.

For hundreds of years, there are too many traces of the Cui family in this city, for example, a certain Cui family head likes peonies, and peonies are planted all over the city, and some merchants send the world's strange species to Runan City, which is expensive in the city. Every time the flowers bloom, the fragrance of the whole city has become a scene in the city.

As for the city lord and officials of this city, they are the descendants of the Cui family, and when the old lady of the Cui family celebrates his birthday, it can be said that the whole city celebrates together.

Of course, this is a thing of the past. A big family like the Cui family should not have fallen, but it can go through several dynasties without being defeated, and I will not move in the wind and rain in the world. However, the Cui family fell, and no one expected that the high-ranking Imperial Son of Heaven would become an outlaw.

After the matter is completed, it will naturally be cleaned up of the Cui family, and the Cui family will only have four words to copy and behead.

At this moment, Cheng Dalei entered the city, and he could still smell a bloody breath, and every household in the city closed their doors tightly, and there was not much anger.

Cheng Dalei found a teahouse to rest, sat on the second floor, and several people asked for a pot of fragrant tea and two drawers of steamed buns.

"Xiao Er, I came all the way and saw that there were few open shops on the street, what happened?" asked Cheng Dalei.

Xiao Er wilted and said, "There aren't many people in the city now, and business can't go on, so what can you do if you don't close the door." It is better to earn less money than to provoke death. ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

Xiao Er looked around and saw that there were not many guests upstairs and downstairs, and the shopkeeper was settling accounts downstairs.

Cheng Dalei rewarded him with a silver coin and said, "What are you doing, my lord looks festive and likes to talk to you." What can the shopkeeper do when he comes up, I have something to say to him. ”

Xiao Er immediately came to his senses when he saw the silver, and he smiled and took the silver into his arms.

"The guest officer has come from a long distance, I can see this at a glance. Don't think I'm talkative, listen to me, it's best not to stay overnight in Runan City, I'm also kind. ”

"Oh, why is that?"

"Runan City has changed its lord. ”

"I've heard of it, I heard that the last city lord's surname was Cui, but I have heard that the Cui family plotted to rebel and was eradicated by His Majesty the Holy Lord. Isn't that a good thing?"

"We don't know about the good and bad things, but when the original Cui City Lord was here, everyone's life was still passable, and in places like the small shop, they could earn some silver every day. But since the new city lord took office, life has been a little unbearable. ”

"Could it be that this city lord is a corrupt official?" said Liu Facai.

"Who knows if he is greedy or not, and now he is an accomplice in the case of arresting Cui. Many big families have suffered from the seedlings, and the things below are a little unauthentic, and whoever doesn't have enough money is an accomplice of the Cui family. Originally, it was none of our business, but the wolf-like officials ate and drank in the teahouse, and they didn't give money, and the small shop didn't dare to say a word, for fear that the other party would say a word, and we would become accomplices in the rebellion. ”

"Well, it's really, it's really ......" Cheng Dalei suddenly asked: "What is the name of the new city lord?"

It seems to be called Wei Muchong, and the specific villain is not clear. ”

Cheng Dalei waved his hand to let him step back, and Xiao Er agreed: "Guest officer, what do you want to do again?"

Then, Cheng Dalei's eyes fell on Cui Baiyu: "Wei Muchong, what is the origin?"

"Born in a cold family, his ancestral home is Yangzhou, he was working in the Yushitai at the beginning, and he participated in the Cui family, so he has been hidden in the snow for more than ten years and has been a small knife and pen officer. ”

Cui Baiyu's voice was calm, but Cheng Dalei still heard the trembling she tried so hard to suppress.

"Yo, that sounds like a good guy. Xu Shenji said: "Although tens of millions of people have gone to me. ”

Cheng Dalei ignored him and looked sideways out the window. Good guys and bad guys, that's a sentence that can be said clearly. The Cui family covers the sky with one hand, and they can't say how many people's futures have been broken, and they are naturally not good people in the eyes of everyone. But in the eyes of the shopkeeper, after all, the Cui family has sheltered them from the wind and rain, so that they can live a peaceful life in troubled times.

At this time, a group of officers and soldiers on the long street escorted a group of prisoners to swagger by, the prisoners were in rags, and as long as they dared to walk half a step slower, some officers and soldiers would whip them on them.

Cui Baiyu also looked at this scene, suddenly frowned, stunned, and turned his gaze to Cheng Dalei.

"Master, can I ask you for one thing. ”

"Oh, this word is too serious, and it is even more unbelievable to come out of the girl's mouth. ”

Cui Baiyu ignored Cheng Dalei's quip and said, "I implore the big boss to help me save someone." ”

"Who?"

Cui Baiyu pointed to the long street: "My cousin Qiao Rongyun." ”

Cheng Dalei looked in the direction of her finger, and indeed saw a beautiful girl, but now she was scarred and embarrassed.

This group of prisoners was naturally involved because of the Cui family's affairs. Those who are more deeply involved are naturally a chopping word, and some have something to do with it, the men are exiled to the border, and the women are sold into official prostitutes. Of course, there are also some beautiful people among them, who are carried to their own mansions by hand, as long as the power is big enough, it is nothing.

Cheng Dalei looked at Cui Baiyu: "Why should I help you?"

Cui Baiyu gritted his teeth fiercely: "Cui Baiyu is willing to be a cow and a horse for the big boss." ”

"Are you going to be a cow and a horse for me now?"

Cui Baiyu was speechless. She is not a person with much affection, and she has little connection with her relatives and sisters at home. But after all, it is the tragedy of the rabbit and the fox, and now the Cui family has suffered this disaster, and even the ancestral grave has been picked up and the bones are scattered. Cui Baiyu knew that she couldn't do anything, and all the sadness could only be swallowed. But Qiao Rongyun's relationship with her is really good, if she doesn't care, she will definitely be sold into a prostitution kiln, and her life is better than death.

Cheng Dalei is not very happy to meddle with this kind of nossy matter, you Cui Baiyu is willing to save a Qiao Rongyun, in case Qiao Rongyun also has parents and brothers, he also opens his mouth to save himself, whether he saves it or not.

After all, it's a very troublesome thing, and you Cui Baiyu don't want to do it at all. opened his mouth to ask for someone and refused to even give a smile, as if it was a great insult to plead with himself. What is a cow and a horse, it is completely contempt for your profession, you can obviously say that you promise to be a person.

Cui Baiyu lowered his eyes and shook his head slightly.

"It's me who has too much to mouth. ”
