A renowned ancient physician transmigrates into the body of an abandoned woman, only to be sold off
Chapter 388 Collusion between Officials and Government
Cui Xiaoliu led them slowly on this road at first, but then he thought about it and sped up a bit.
He only slowed down when he heard the sound of a whip behind him.
Turning his head, he saw the carriage behind him catching up quickly. They were moving very fast and soon overtook his carriage.
Cui Xiaoliu followed the carriage at a leisurely pace, and fortunately, the carriage in front did not arouse their suspicion.
After traveling for almost a day, Cui Xiaoliu saw that the carriage ahead of them passed by the post station at night. They did not stop to rest or eat anything at the post station.
Instead, they were focused solely on getting on their way.
Fortunately, Song Zhili took out some food from her spatial storage, which temporarily filled their stomachs. It wasn't until noon the next day that they saw the carriage finally enter the city.
Cui Xiaoliu looked up and saw that they had arrived in another county town, which was larger than the one they had come to before.
This county is called Jiade County.
Just as Cui Xiaoliu and his group were entering the city, they were stopped by the soldiers at the city gate. Cui Xiaoliu looked at the soldiers at the city gate with a puzzled expression.
The soldiers didn't stop the carriage ahead, so why did they have to stop it?
"We need to check; everyone inside the carriage must get off."
When Cui Xiaoliu heard that the soldiers wanted to inspect their carriage, he realized that the carriage was full of women and wondered what the situation was.
However, he didn't want to reveal his identity, so he took out a bag of silver from his pocket, handed it to the soldier, and said with a smile.
“Sir, the people in this carriage are my sister and wife. They are shy, so please don’t let them get off.”
When the soldier saw Cui Xiaoliu hand over a bag of silver, he chuckled and put it into his pocket. "No problem, no problem. It's just our duty to check it."
When Cui Xiaoliu saw the soldiers walk to the carriage, lift the curtain and peek inside, then waved them into the city.
Because of their delay, Cui Xiaoliu could no longer see the carriage in front of him and did not know where it had gone.
Left with no other option, he drove the carriage around the county town for a while, and then stopped in front of one of the inns.
"Miss Ali, Miaomiao, please come down. We'll get a room at this inn to stay in first."
Upon hearing Cui Xiaoliu's words, Song Zhili and He Miaomiao said nothing, got off the carriage, and followed Cui Xiaoliu into the inn.
After they entered their room, Song Zhili called Qing Shuang over and asked her to go outside and inquire about some news. Then she got up and went to He Miaomiao's room to knock on the door.
Just then, Cui Xiaoliu arrived, and the two of them went into He Miaomiao's room together and closed the door.
The two women saw He Miaomiao sitting on a chair inside the room, so they went over and sat down opposite her.
Cui Xiaoliu spoke first, saying, "Today is really strange. I've been following the carriage in front into the city, and their carriage doesn't need to be checked, but our carriage does."
I didn't see any notices posted at the city gate, and I don't know if the group ahead noticed we were following them and deliberately shook us off.
Song Zhili and He Miaomiao had been thinking about this question for a while, and they weren't sure if it was a coincidence or if the people in front of them had done it on purpose.
If those people did it on purpose, it seems they were also colluding with the government officials.
Cui Xiaoliu had considered this point, but he was also quite troubled. After saying goodbye to He Miaomiao and Song Zhili, he left the house. He returned to his own room, picked up a brush, wrote a letter, and then went out.
Song Zhili didn't stay at He Miaomiao's place for long. After sitting for a while, she returned to her own room. He Chengjing had been gone for several days, and she didn't know where he was now.
He didn't feel it much at first, but now that he's not around, he misses it quite a bit.
After thinking for a moment, she entered her spatial dimension and wrote a letter to He Chengjing. Then she took it out, wondering if she could send the letter to him now.
She thought she would ask Qingshuang when she returned, and then she put away the letter she had written for the time being.
If only she had another phone, at least she could call He Chengjing when she missed him, or at least send him a message.
Just as she was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door, and Qing Shuang's voice came from outside.
"Mistress".
"Well, come in."
Song Zhili looked up and saw Qing Shuang walk in from outside. "Why did you come back so quickly? Did you find out any reliable information?"
Qing Shuang nodded, then leaned down and whispered the information she had found into Song Zhili's ear.
After hearing what Qing Shuang said, Song Zhili looked up in surprise, "Is what you said true?"
Qing Shuang nodded seriously, "Mistress, it should be right."
Song Zhili lowered her head and pondered for a while, then picked up the letter she had written and handed it to Qing Shuang. "Okay, I understand. By the way, Qing Shuang, don't call me mistress anymore. Just call me Miss."
Could you please deliver this letter to A-Jing for me? If not, please bring it back to me.
"Yes, Miss..."
Qing Shuang accepted the letter from Song Zhili with both hands and then withdrew.
After Qing Shuang left, Song Zhili went to He Miaomiao's room again and knocked on the door. Hearing He Miaomiao's voice inside, she pushed the door open and went in.
Song Zhili sat down opposite He Miaomiao, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and then slowly spoke to her.
"Qing Shuang just came back. She found out from outside that a big shot from the capital has come to this county."
They're currently staying at the government office; it seems all the women brought here were sent there.
When He Miaomiao heard that this matter was related to the government, she frowned. It seemed that this matter would not be easy to handle.
"Ah Li, do you think we should get involved in this? Maybe we should just leave it alone and not get involved."
He Miaomiao was actually quite conflicted. On the one hand, she knew that Cui Xiaoliu would definitely take care of this matter, but on the other hand, she was worried that she and Song Zhili might get involved.
If there were any danger to her, that would be fine, but if something were to happen to Song Zhili, she wouldn't know how to explain it to He Chengjing.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go outside and take a walk, and maybe we can find out some information while we're at it."
Song Zhili didn't respond to He Miaomiao's words. Instead, she walked up to He Miaomiao, put her arm around her, and pulled her outside.
