"Sang Laosi, are you too smart? If that guy is really an accomplice, there is no need to bring six or seven children to paralyze us, right? Aren't they afraid of holding us back?
Also, I've been working as a yamen officer for a few years, and although I can't tell whether the person is good or evil from his appearance, I can roughly guess whether he is good or evil, right?" One of the officers asked helplessly.
"Stop talking about him, I hurriedly went to get water. There are so many fishes, half of them are grilled, and the other half are also cooked to drink soup to keep warm." The other one couldn't wait to divide the work.
"In our line of work, you are right to be cautious, but it is not right to be too cautious. You have to use your brain a little and analyze. This fish was not sent here on its own initiative, but by a young man. Xiang first went to ask if there were more ingredients.
Tell me, if the other party heard what you just said, how would they feel? "Cui, the leader of the four officials. Zhong whispered and explained to the subordinates who were criticized by the crowd.
Sang Laosi now felt that he was too mean-spirited, so he nodded and admitted his mistake, and turned around to find the branch.
Not long after, Hong Xiaoduo was already holding a bowl and started drinking fish soup. He wanted to tell Tianxuan that next time the fish soup should be simmered longer to make it milky white. But when I think about it, I don’t know how to cook, so I’d better stop giving random advice.
Not to mention, this is boiled fish, and only one seasoning is added to it - salt. The soup is actually very delicious, no worse than what I had in the restaurant before.
Hong Xiaoduo suddenly felt that life like this seemed quite comfortable.
However, it seems that winter will start tomorrow, and it is not yet the time of ice and snow, so you can still walk around, otherwise, buy a set of tea-making equipment by the stove.
After drinking tea several times, I felt it was much better than boiled water. Anyway, goat milk and cow milk were also available in this dynasty. When the time comes, you can make milk tea and drink it.
She remembered seeing that kind of stove in a grocery store once, but it didn't have the modern stainless steel grill. She could think of a solution for that.
She doesn’t know how to cook, but she can make milk tea.
Roasted steamed buns, meatloaf with fish soup, and Hong Xiaoduo was already full before the duck meat was even stewed.
Sitting on the maza and looking at the prison car not far away, I was really curious about what crime the prisoner had committed, and he was escorted by four officers.
She watched as the officer handed the roasted dry food to the prisoner in the prison van to eat and gave him water to drink.
But no matter how curious she was, she did not go to inquire or watch. Being too curious is not a good thing.
At this time, Tianxuan said that the duck meat was ready to eat. She filled a bowl with it and gave it to Hong Xiaoduo. Then she took a piece and tasted it. The taste was good, but she couldn’t eat it even if she was full, no matter how delicious it was. .
One duck is eaten by seven children, and the duck meat is already stewed to a pulp. Hong Xiaoduo is not worried about the children eating too much.
Looking at Tianxuan's child, he didn't rush to eat the duck meat when it was ready. Instead, he found a jar and poured some duck soup out, saying that it would be used to stew gnocchi tomorrow morning.
And Tianshu, after every break, he would pick out large pieces of unburned charcoal from the burned fire, pour it with water to make sure it would not burn, and then put it into a clay pot and keep it for use.
The charcoal fires used on the road and the charcoal bought in the shop have not been used recently.
Obviously they are both children, but both of them are so calculating and know how to live their lives, which makes Hong Xiaoduo feel like a waste!
I want to tell the children that it doesn’t have to be like this, but then I think that the children will be careful about their budget. Isn’t this a good thing? Why bother?
Hong Xiaoduo was about to get up and take a walk to eat, but he saw that the prisoner and the official over there seemed to have a dispute. The prisoner was very excited and grabbed the cage with both hands and shook it vigorously.
Then the officials gathered around him and took out the sabers around their waists.
I don’t know what the prisoner said, but several officials turned to look at Hong Xiaoduo.
What's going on? Hong Xiaoduo was confused by them and saw the official from before walking over. Since it was the other party coming, Hong Xiaoduo didn't ask what was going on first, but sat there and waited for the other party to speak.
"I'm sorry, little lady. He said he wanted to ask you for a favor. It seemed like he was sending a message or something. He had to come and ask, otherwise he wouldn't stop. Shaoxiang told him very embarrassedly.
That's it. Hong Xiaoduo understood clearly: "What did he do?" Now he could just gossip.
"The murder, all the witnesses and physical evidence are complete, he has confessed his crime and been taken into custody. However, there was a lot of commotion all the way to the escort. He asked passers-by several times to help him deliver messages, but he didn't think about who would agree." Guan Chao Shaoxiang was very worried. I said it simply because I was worried.
"Then where are you going to escort him and imprison him?" Hong Xiaoduo asked again.
"Expulsion into the army at Dawu Pass." Shaoxiang immediately replied.
Exile into the army? Hong Xiaoduo had heard this word in TV dramas before, but she didn't know the specific rules and procedures.
"Little madam, I know this is very rude, but it doesn't matter if you don't go. Anyway, he watched me bring the words to him, and it still doesn't work. If he makes a fuss for a while, he will be in peace." Shaoxiang was very apologetic. said.
He didn't expect Hong Xiaoduo to agree to go and meet that person at all. He had been there so many times along the way. No matter whether the person was a man or a woman, no matter how old he was, he always shook his head and hurried away to avoid it.
"In that case, let me go over and take a look and hear what message he wants to send. Please, brother, please stay with my child here." After saying that, Hong Xiaoduo went to the prison car. Walk away.
The three officers over there and the one in the prison car looked like they couldn't believe it. They didn't expect that she actually came over.
The leader, Cui Zhong, knocked on the fence of the prison car with the hilt of his knife and reminded in a low voice: "I am a young lady, and it is already very difficult for me to come and listen to you. Please pay attention to the tone of your words and don't scare them. .”
"Yeah." The person in the prison car responded with a hoarse voice.
The three officials were even more surprised to hear that he actually agreed.
When Hong Xiaoduo arrived at the prison car, the three officials nodded to her as a greeting.
"Why did you call me here?" Hong Xiaoduo asked directly. Even at such a close distance, he still couldn't see the other person's face, because the other person's disheveled hair covered his entire face. .
The person in the prison car used his shackled hands to push the hair covering his forehead to both sides, revealing a dirty and bloody face.
His lips were chapped and there were blisters at the corners of his mouth, and his eyebrows were covered with blood scabs. He looked at Hong Xiaoduo with difficulty.
He opened his mouth several times, but no sound came out due to excitement.
"Don't be anxious, take a deep breath with me." Hong Xiaoduo didn't know why, but softly guided the other party to take a few deep breaths.
"My surname is Nie and my first name is Qing. Don't be afraid, little lady. I didn't kill anyone, so I'm not a murderer. I was just framed by my relatives. They threatened my mother and little sister's lives, saying that as long as I confess my guilt, I will be killed. Let them go.
But I'm not worried. Could you please help me go to the house to see how they are doing and whether they are still alive?
I’m going to kneel down for you, little lady. Can you please help me? "After Nie Qing finished speaking, he knelt down to Hong Xiaoduo in the prison car...
