Chapter 22 Being followed
Su Qin found the clothes she wore when she first came to the city in the corner of the yard. After she changed her clothes yesterday, she threw these old clothes and quilts in the corner of the yard, thinking that she would throw them away when she had time. These clothes were so dirty that they could not be washed, and she didn't want to wear them anymore.
Fortunately, I didn’t go out today and didn’t throw it away, otherwise I wouldn’t have a replacement now.
When she picked up the clothes, a strong sour smell hit her nose, making her feel nauseous.
This person is really strange. She has been traveling in these clothes for more than two months. Her body has been smelling terrible for a long time. She is used to the smell and can no longer smell it.
But it had only been clean for one day, and the sour and stinky smell made her feel nauseous.
She suppressed her nausea and took the clothes back to her room. These clothes could not be washed. Only when the clothes kept their original flavor would they look more real.
Fortunately, she didn't have to replace all her inner clothes with old ones, so she could still bear it. Since she had plenty of time today, she made herself a new set of underwear and undershirt.
She put her dirty outer shirt over her new undershirt, gave herself a messy hairstyle, and went to the kitchen to paint her face a little. Soon she was back to the dirty and smelly beggar she was when she first came.
After thinking about it, she hid the dagger given by Zhao Liangchen and the remaining medicine bag on her body.
Originally, she was planning to return the dagger to Zhao Liangchen, but she was crying so hard yesterday that she forgot about it. Now she has to go to jail, so it would be safer with a weapon. She will return it to him later.
After she finished cleaning up, Zhao Liangchen also came back, but his face looked very ugly when he came back.
As soon as Su Qin saw his expression, she knew something had happened. She thought it was related to what they were going to do, so she asked, "What happened?"
Zhao Liangchen replied with a serious face: "Someone is following me."
Su Qin was puzzled: "Who is following you and why?"
Zhao Liangchen shook his head: "I don't know, I was very busy all day today and didn't pay attention to the people around me, but just now when I came out of this alley, I saw someone hanging around nearby. I come to this alley often and I know everyone around here. This person is a stranger.
Because I have been arresting people recently, I will subconsciously look at strangers when I see them. Most people who don’t know my identity will not be afraid of me looking at them, but this person left immediately when he saw me, so he must know me.
Judging from his walking habits and posture, this person has practiced martial arts. The martial arts practitioners who can recognize me are either imperial guards or yamen runners.
If it was a member of the Imperial Guard, I would have recognized him even if I didn't know him. However, I have never seen this person before, so I guess he is most likely a yamen runner."
Su Qin was even more puzzled: "Why did the yamen runners follow you? What law did you break?"
Zhao Liangchen shook his head: "My daily life is very simple. Apart from patrolling the streets, I go to the palace. In the past, I would go home when I had nothing to do. Recently, I have been coming to the teacher more often. The place where I usually come into contact with the yamen runners is the government office, but the people in the government office don't have the courage to follow me.
The only places where there are yamen runners are the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. I have never been to the Dali Temple. The only place I have been is the Ministry of Justice Prison where I took you a few days ago."
At this moment, Su Qin's expression also became serious: "You mean, this yamen runner is coming for me?"
Zhao Liangchen nodded: "It is very likely that Lord Tiantong saw you. With his ability, it should not be difficult for him to tell that you are a woman. I have never seen a woman around me. I think he probably doubted your identity."
Su Qin was a little nervous: "What should I do now?"
For her, although Zhao Liangchen is her enemy, she is not in danger for the time being with him, because if he wanted to attack her, he would not have gone to so much trouble to bring her here. He must have his own purpose. Zhao Liangchen will not touch her before the purpose is achieved, and she still has time to find a way to escape.
But if Tong Zhongqian discovered her identity, she would definitely be arrested. Once she was thrown into the Ministry of Justice prison, she would have no chance to save herself, let alone save her father and others.
With suspicion, it was only a matter of time before Tong Zhongqian found out her identity. She did not dare to underestimate the ability of a man who was equivalent to the highest leader of the modern Ministry of Justice and the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs.
Zhao Liangchen was also a little nervous. He didn't expect Tong Zhongqian to be so sensitive that even a servant beside him would notice it, and he didn't expect him to check on him.
He exhaled and comforted Su Qin: "Don't worry, this may be a good thing. He must have doubts about your father's case, otherwise he would not worry about things that are not related to the case.
Don't be nervous. I'll send you to the prison as planned. Even if Master Tong is very powerful, he couldn't have imagined that the person who appeared by my side a few days ago would appear in the prison. Once you leave the city, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. He will have no chance of finding you."
Su Qin looked at the door and asked worriedly, "How are we going to get out? Is that person still there?"
Zhao Liangchen shook his head: "I don't know if there is anyone else in the dark."
He looked around, pointed to the west wall of the courtyard and said, "If we want to avoid surveillance, we can only climb the wall and leave from here."
Mr. Zeng's yard is at the innermost part of the alley. Going out from the west wall of his house is another alley. It will be a long detour to go there, but it can also completely avoid people who are following you.
Su Qin looked at the west wall. Because there was a west wing, if she wanted to climb over the wall, she had to climb up the roof first. The roof was very high and it was not something that a disabled person like her could climb up.
She asked Zeng Lao: "Grandpa, is there a ladder at home?"
Zeng Lao shook his head: "I am an old man and I don't climb walls or trees. I don't have a ladder at home."
Su Qin looked at Zhao Liangchen in embarrassment: "What should I do without a ladder? I can't climb up."
Zhao Liangchen: "I can take you up there, but..."
He looked at Su Qin's waist and said, "I might offend you."
Su Qin followed his gaze to her waist and quickly understood what he meant.
Although she had never been in a relationship, she was not the kind of pedantic person who couldn't let the opposite sex touch her, so she opened her arms and said, "It's okay, I don't mind, take me up."
Su Qin's straightforwardness made Zhao Liangchen feel a little embarrassed. His face was inexplicably hot. He handed the two oil-paper bags in his hand to Su Qin: "These contain dried meat and candied fruit. I won't be able to bring you food now that you're in prison. The food in prison is short and not good. Take these with you and eat them when you're hungry."
Su Qin did not refuse. The two months of fleeing made her realize how uncomfortable hunger felt, and she certainly didn't want to feel it again.
She reached out to take it, turned her back to Zhao Liangchen and stuffed the oil-paper package into her chest, then turned back to say goodbye to Zeng Lao: "Grandpa, I'm leaving, take care of yourself."
Then he said to Zhao Liangchen, "Okay, let's go."
Zhao Liangchen put his arm around her waist and lifted her up, then he took a running start and kicked the wall of the west wing, grabbed the eaves with his hand, and kicked a few more times to reach the roof.
Then the two of them walked a few steps on the roof with their backs bent, and Zhao Liangchen jumped down again with Su Qin in his arms.
After watching their backs disappear, Zeng Lao sighed and returned to his room. Looking at the leftovers of Zhao Liangchen's meal on the table, he grumbled as he cleaned it up, "Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. I hope this girl is a lucky person."
