Arrested
Qing'an County.
Xiaoan sent He Lianer to Tianxiang Tower to settle down temporarily.
"You can live here peacefully for the next few days. I'll go pick up my uncle and aunt. This restaurant is owned by my sister, and my fifth uncle has been taking care of it before. During this period, my fifth uncle went back to the village to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
...Don’t be timid, I’ve said hello to the managers here and they will take care of you.”
In the comfortable guest room Yang Ruoqing reserved for herself in the backyard, Xiao An and He Lian'er warned her again and again.
He Lian'er nodded lightly, "Brother Xiao An, you don't have to worry about me. Even if I'm safe when I get here, you must be careful!"
Xiao An said: "I'm fine, then you can rest first and I'll go back to the military department."
"Um!"
He Lian'er nodded again.
Xiao An came outside the house and found He Lian'er following him out. He turned to smile at her, turned around and went to the backyard door.
I found He Lian'er still following behind.
Xiao An was a little surprised, "Why did you come here if you weren't resting in the room? I'm going to do some serious business, so I can't take you with me."
"I, I won't follow, I'm just sending you away, brother Xiao An." He Lian'er said softly.
Xiao An smiled helplessly, "Okay."
After leaving the courtyard door and walking a few steps along the alley behind, Xiao An turned around again, and that slender figure was still standing at the door of the courtyard.
Seeing him turning his head to look, joy filled her eyes, and she raised her little hand and waved to him gently.
"This girl... is really, eh!"
"Go back!" Xiao An shouted at her, turned around and strode away.
It wasn't until his figure was completely out of sight that He Lian'er retracted her body and returned to the guest room obediently, closing the doors and windows tightly.
Xiao An acted quickly. He went to the Ministry of War to find Ning Su, reported the cause and effect of the incident to Ning Su, and asked for Ning Su's help...
On the other side, in Qingyang Town, is an abandoned yard overgrown with grass.
Mother He untied the bundle beside her, took out a steamed bun and stuffed it into Father He's hand.
"Dad Lian'er, let's eat some steamed buns to satisfy our stomach."
Father He took the steamed bun, broke off half of it and gave it to Mother He: "You can eat it too."
"I'm not hungry. There's still a full bag in this bundle. Xiao An prepared it for us before he left. It won't be a problem to last for five or six days."
There was no need to worry about eating, mainly because there was not too much water. Mother He thought about going outside to get some water to drink when the night fell. There was not much water left in the water bag before.
Father He chewed the dry steamed bun and looked at the setting sun shining in from the dilapidated window that was entangled with cobwebs. "I don't know if Xiao An and Lian'er have arrived in Qing'an County. The journey should be smooth, right?"
He's mother also looked out the window and murmured: "It's logical that we should have arrived. Xiao An is so skilled, looks tall and big, and has a very thoughtful mind. He will definitely be able to lead our Lian'er to avoid the Wang family and the officers and soldiers back to Qing Dynasty."
From Anjun."
Father He nodded and continued to eat the bun.
Mother He was holding back a lot of words and wanted to chat with Father He, but seeing that he was so distracted and thinking about his daughter, she was not in the mood to talk. She could only silently hope that the two of them would arrive smoothly.
Qing'an County.
When the night gradually fell, He's mother got up and said to He's father: "You take a nap for a while, and I'll go out and find you some water to drink."
Father He looked out the window and said, "It's better to be patient. I'm worried that you will be discovered."
"There is not a drop of water in the water bag. It will be even more inconvenient if I don't go out to get water at night and wait until dawn... I will be careful not to be discovered. Just wait for me to come back."
"Lian'er Niang, you must be careful, I will wait for you to come back..."
The neighboring town is Qingniu Town.
The home of the security guard Wang Xiong.
"Brother, stop drooping your eyebrows and drink a glass of wine to calm down your anger!"
Warden Wang Xiong filled the big bowl in front of Wang Ba with wine and encouraged him loudly.
Wang Ba raised his eyes, and the triangular eyes under the light were filled with anger.
"Brother, I have no intention of doing anything unless I catch those bad guys from the He family."
"It's been almost three days, and there's been no movement at all. The second son's coffin can't wait any longer. It will stink if it waits any longer. I can't fulfill my promise to arrest He's family and bury him with him!"
Wang Ba slammed his fist on the table, causing the wine in the bowl to overflow.
Wang Xiong glanced at the spilled wine on the table and frowned.
"Don't worry, they will definitely not be able to escape from Donglin County in three days. As long as they are still in Donglin County, they will not be able to escape from our grasp."
"My son-in-law is the chief catcher of the Donglin County Yamen. He is in charge of public security throughout the county. The county magistrate is a presbyopic nerd who doesn't care about anything. I'm not bragging. Looking at the entire Donglin County, I
This is my son-in-law!"
A thick thumb was raised.
Wang Ba glanced at Wang Xiong's thumb, and the anger in his eyes softened a little.
"Brother, my niece-in-law is certainly great, but the He family is so cunning!"
Wang Xiong waved his hand: "No matter how cunning a fox is, he is afraid of an experienced hunter. My son-in-law said that arrest warrants have been issued to the following towns, our Qingniu Town, the neighboring town of Qingyang Town, and several other remote towns.
Some towns.”
"There are police officers guarding some important intersections and city gates. If you compare the portraits of the bad guy from the He family one by one, you will definitely be able to arrest him!"
"The second nephew is unlucky. We have nothing to do. Let him be buried in peace for now. When we catch the He family, we can chop off his head and carry it to the grave to pay homage! Come on, drink and drink. If the sky falls, you will have to drink this wine."
!”
While brothers Wang Xiong and Wang Ba were changing cups, a servant suddenly ran in from outside to report the news.
"Chief Security Officer, there is news from Qingyang Town that the He family and his wife have been arrested..."
…
Changping Village.
There are only three or four days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th. Not only has Xiao An not come back, there is not even any news.
At first, Yang Huazhong and Sun were preoccupied with Tan's birthday party and had no time to take care of it, because in their original understanding, there would definitely be news about Xiao An's return by then.
But this time they were surprised. No, when Yang Ruoqing came over to visit her after dinner at the end of the day, Mrs. Sun told her about this matter.
"Your father said that dreams come from the heart. He said that I had such dreams because I thought too much during the day. But I was so busy during the day that I had no time to think about Xiao An. I fell down at night and dreamed.
In the dream, Xiao An was chased by others, running so hard that he even lost his shoes..."
"Qing'er, why hasn't your brother made any movement? There's something wrong!"
After listening to my mother's words, Yang Ruoqing remained calm as ever. She even followed Yang Huazhong's words to comfort Sun and asked her to relax. Xiao An is already twenty-one years old. What can happen to a man outside?
?
What's more, he still eats from the yamen and takes out the token on his body. He is somewhat respectable in all the counties and towns in Qing'an County.
