Chapter 449 465. Help from peers 43
Butler Liu's face became more solemn. These were brought by several adults to deliver on business. Isn't it rotten?
But Butler Liu didn't have the guts to ask someone to open the box and inspect it.
In addition to being afraid that the adults above would blame him, he was also afraid of these poisons.
"Steward Liu, what should we do now?" The carriages behind them all stopped, and some people were still squatting on the ground. They also noticed something unusual. There was liquid already seeping into the ground along the bottom of the carriage. Once the liquid reached the ground, nothing but the It brings a fishy smell and even rots the small weeds sprouting on the ground.
This matter was beyond Butler Liu's ability. Butler Liu hurried to the front and woke up several adults who were still sleeping soundly.
Even though the magistrate and the others were suppressing their anger, they came to the back. They had already written the memorial, and now they were suppressing these things and heading to Beijing. Such trouble occurred before they were even halfway through the journey.
"Steward Liu, please take care of it first, and then don't stop along the way. Everyone rushes to the imperial city as fast as possible."
The magistrate knew that the things inside might be corrupting, but he couldn't deal with it. He hoped that there would still be a shell left for him when he arrived in the imperial capital, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do anything.
Butler Liu is really on the verge of tears at this moment. He thought that following the master to the imperial city would bring huge benefits, but this is just the beginning and he is facing such a huge difficulty. He has no ability...
But Mr. Ming couldn't refuse this at all. He could only bite the bullet and ordered some yamen servants to find clothes, straw and the like to add another layer.
As soon as the procession stopped, the horses could no longer move. No matter how hard they were driven with handlebar whips, these horses would not move.
"Even this horse is against me," Butler Liu could imagine how the adults would scold him later.
Unexpectedly, after struggling for a while, Master Ming did not go to him to reprimand him, but instead ordered the team to rest by the side of the road.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief knowing that they could stop. The officials in front were lying in the carriage, of course they were unconscious, but they had to be outside in the wind and sun, and they couldn't even stretch their limbs. The first thing they did when they got off the car was to move their limbs quickly.
Butler Liu asked everyone to dress up, and then he opened the first carriage door. The smell of spices mixed with rancid smell rushed towards them, and everyone was so scared that they quickly covered their mouths and noses.
"How should we deal with this?" There was a big box in the carriage. At that time, they were loading the carriage. There were three boxes within boxes. Needless to say, it was heavy, but taking out the contents was not an easy task. .
"Butler Liu, there is poison in this place," the Yamen servant who was called over refused to do anything. The poison was so powerful that it would destroy the entire hand if it touched it. They followed the master because they wanted to support their family, yes, but I don’t want to take this life away either.
"Don't I know it's poisonous?" Butler Liu was very anxious when he saw that no one came forward to deal with it. "But someone has to do it. Otherwise, when the adults blame it, no one among us will be able to escape."
Butler Liu really made the right bet, using Master Ming to suppress everyone. As expected, no one dared to say anything, but no one took the initiative to come forward to work.
Butler Liu turned around and stared at Lao Tietou again, "Old Tietou, it was you who discovered this matter, and no one can take the credit from you. I will tell Master Ming truthfully. Now you and Ding Er Two people will take care of this carriage and put more quilts under it.”
Butler Liu felt that he had done his best enough. He even moved all the quilts from his carriage and was willing to give the credit to Lao Tietou and the others. This was sincerity enough.
Lao Tietou and Ding Er shook their heads vigorously. Ding Er was too frightened to say anything. Lao Tietou raised his thin hands and said, "Butler Liu, it's not that my old Tietou wants to be lazy, but look at my arms. Without two ounces of meat, there is no such strength.
It would take more than a dozen people to lift the thing inside, and Ding Er and I just couldn't do it. Butler Liu, let’s not talk about any merit. I am also kind-hearted. I don’t ask for merit, but I ask for no fault. ”
Butler Liu cursed in his heart, this old man really doesn't know how to appreciate others.
But seeing his thin body and his eyes filled with disgust, it was true that these two people simply couldn't carry such a big box and put a quilt underneath.
Looking at the others, they all closed their eyes.
Butler Liu felt that his authority had been challenged. In the past, these people all supported him, but now when they were needed, they all avoided him.
He simply reached out and ordered ten people, "You guys go in and lift the box, and you two grab the quilt and put it on it quickly."
Although these people were dissatisfied, they did not dare to disobey. They carefully took care of the carriages, and the sky was already turning white.
However, the carriages of several adults were parked there to rest, and they did not say that they were going to set off, and no one dared to make any unauthorized claims.
Some of the smart ones have found a corner to close their eyes and rest, but there are also some more honest ones who are staying by the carriage.
Butler Liu yawned and began to assign some people to prepare pots to make rice. He wanted to eat in the next city, but he probably couldn't make it, so he might as well make something casual and make do with it first.
Yun Tutu and the others also slept until the sun was shining brightly. Thinking of the slow retreat ahead, Yun Tutu simply looked towards the mountains behind.
Their purpose this time was not to hunt, but to see if there were any rare medicinal materials in the mountains.
After changing their outfits, the three people quickly ran towards the mountain. Each of them also held a medical dictionary in their hands to supplement themselves with some knowledge from time to time.
The luck of Yun Tutu and the others was really not good at first. They were all insignificant medicinal materials that could not be sold at a big price and could be seen everywhere in later generations.
Just when I was thinking about whether I was going to return empty-handed this time, I saw Chen Yuxi pointing to the trees in front of me, "Does that tree look like a chestnut tree?"
Chen Yuxi didn't know him at first, but those thorn balls hanging on the tree made her think so.
When Zhang Yaowen and the others got closer, they saw that it was true, and some of the fruits were already ripe. They fell to the ground and crushed them gently with their feet. The brown chestnuts were exposed to everyone, and they were quite plump.
Yun Tutu looked up at the twenty-meter-tall chestnut tree and couldn't help but swallowed, as if he hadn't eaten chestnuts for a while.
She decided that she wanted to eat chestnut chicken today. As for chickens, were there any pheasants everywhere in the sky?
Zhang Yaowen noticed Yun Tutu swallowing and guessed what she was thinking. He took out a big bag from his storage ring and said, "Now that you are here, don't go back empty-handed and pick up some chestnuts. I will I’ll fry some sugar-roasted chestnuts for you.”
Yun Tutu looked at Zhang Yaowen in surprise, "Brother Zhang, it turns out it's you who's hiding it, and you actually have this skill."
