The daily life of the concubine of the Prime Minister

Quanxing County is the southernmost town under Xiangzhou. The town is not big and is surrounded by mountains. It is even smaller than the area of ​​Panlou North Street in the capital.

The city wall is built of mud and bluestone, and it looks quite old. The city gate is also dilapidated and can only be described in three words: small, broken, and remote.

At this time, Liu Yu and his men could never have imagined that this small, dilapidated, remote town could hide a full 50,000 soldiers.

"The lords and ladies are from the capital, right?"

They had just arrived at the foot of the city, but had not yet entered, when a middle-aged man in his fifties came towards them from afar, followed by two servants.

Liu Yu looked at the person who came. Although he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, the shoes on his feet were from Guantianxia Diyifang.

And the ring on his hand and the jade pendant hanging around his waist are undoubtedly all good things.

Was this person Liu Yu arranged by Mr. Chen San?

She looked at Mr. Chen Sanye.

Mr. Chen San shook his head silently, he didn't know this person either.

"you are?"

The middle-aged man explained his purpose.

"I am the legal advisor of the county government. My last name is Gu. I have come here specially to pick up the gentlemen."

On the way south, Liu Yu and Chen Sanye kept their identities secret.

Could it be news from the palace?

Impossible! The emperor would never let the news of his going south spread in the capital.

The news even spread to this remote little town.

"How did you know that I was here and why did you wait here in advance?"

Master Gu smiled and said:

"This morning, our yamen rescued two men and two women. The man called himself Master Chen. He told us that you came here and were being chased. He asked me to send someone back to the yamen to rescue you."

Liu Yu followed the direction pointed by his lawyer and saw a dozen men with swords on their waists, wearing the same red uniforms of yamen runners.

"Third brother, are you going in?" Uncle Chen Wu wanted to go into the city, to see his wife, and to take a bath...

Master Chen San withdrew his gaze from the yamen runner and looked at Master Gu again.

Master Gu met Master Chen's gaze fearlessly, with that indifferent smile still on his face, as if he knew that Master Chen would not believe him so easily.

He took out a string of black ink Buddhist beads and a handkerchief from his sleeve.

The Buddhist beads were blessed and were given to me by Mr. Chen Sanye.

The handkerchief was embroidered on both sides with mandarin ducks playing in the water. It was from Yuzhentang and belonged to Mrs. Yao.

"Is Wan'er really in the yamen?" Uncle Chen Wu excitedly shook the middle-aged man's hand.

Master Gu's guilty conscience suddenly disappeared:

"Sir, if you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

Now, even if Mr. Chen San said not to go into the city, Mr. Chen Wu and the others would still go in. He not only wanted his wife, but also wanted the things in the car.

After a moment's silence, Mr. Chen San and Liu Yu exchanged glances silently, then nodded:

"Okay, we'll go in with you."

The middle-aged man's smile deepened. He welcomed Liu Yu and the others into the city, stopped in front of a carriage, and gestured to invite them: "Sir, you have worked hard on the journey. Please get in the carriage."

They were all really exhausted, so they stopped being pretentious and got on the car.

Mr. Chen San came up last and sat down next to Liu Yu. He asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"How do you feel?"

"Very strange." As for what was strange, Liu Yu couldn't tell.

Master Chen San pointed out what Liu Yu found strange: "That Buddhist rosary, big brother usually doesn't want to wear it..."

Liu Yuru cleared the fog and suddenly saw the light.

"So, you think that Big Brother and the others are being controlled by these people."

In fact, there was nothing wrong with Master Gu taking out the personal belongings of Uncle Chen and Miss Yao and showing them.

But Liu Yu believed in his sixth sense more.

Mr. Chen San was not sure, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"When we go down to the government office, follow behind me."

"Okay, then I'll tell the others to be more careful."

Liu Yu told Qin Ke and Chen Wuye about her and Chen Sanye's guesses one by one.

The others were startled and became alert.

Liu Yu lifted the car curtain calmly.

At this time, the carriage had entered the city and was driving on the widest road. Next to it were some stalls selling snacks and small items.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, only three or four people here and there.

Not seeing anything different, Liu Yu withdrew his gaze, lowered the curtain, leaned his head on Master Chen San's shoulder, and leaned his body into his arms.

"Let me lean on you, I'm tired."

"Okay." Mr. Chen San hugged her as if no one was around.

Master Chen Wu: "You come again...will you let me live?"

Although Qin Ke and Chen Xiyao were not as bold as them, their hands were tightly clasped together.

Strictly speaking, it was Chen Xiyao who couldn't get rid of her, and Qin Ke grabbed her forcefully and wouldn't let go.

After a cup of tea.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the yamen. Master Gu led them into the hall and went to find the county magistrate.

"Fifth brother, did you find anything wrong?" asked Uncle Chen San with a frown.

Master Chen Wu shook his head decisively:

"No, there are no masters, just ordinary people."

As for masters, both their breath and steps are different from those of ordinary people. Their breath is silent, and their steps are light and graceful, just like a feather passing by.

Not even a single secret guard or someone hiding in the dark was found.

And if they want to kill them, it is simply impossible to rely on these ordinary people alone.

For the first time, Master Chen Wu questioned what Master Chen San said:

"Brother, maybe you made a mistake."

"No." It was Liu Yu who answered.

If Mr. Chen San was mistaken, what about her? One was accidental, and the other must be suspicious.

Uncle Chen said, "Let's take another look!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Gu came back, followed by an old man in his sixties, wearing the green court robes of a seventh-rank official.

The old county magistrate knelt down and saluted Mr. Chen San:

"Huang Yaozu, the magistrate of Quanxing County, greets you, sir."

Chen Sanye gave the old county magistrate a helping hand and asked him directly how he had saved the person and where he was now.

What the old county magistrate said was the same as what Master Gu said.

"They were found by the night watchman last night. They were lying in front of the north gate, covered in blood. We originally planned to throw them into a mass grave, but when we were moving them, we found that the dead were still alive."

"So you discovered my elder brother's identity?" Master Chen San grasped the only difference between his words and Master Gu's: "My elder brother has not woken up yet?"

The old magistrate nodded: "Yes."

"How did you recognize my elder brother?" Master Chen San narrowed his eyes and stared at the old county magistrate. "Just now Master Gu told us that it was my elder brother who gave him the personal Buddhist beads? What do you say about this?"

"No." The old county magistrate turned around and looked at Master Gu. He asked, "Little Gu, did Master Chen wake up today?"

Master Gu nodded and said seriously, "That's right, Master Chen woke up at 15:15, and it was 15 minutes after noon."
