tired spring return

It is both clear and philosophical to protect itself.

Pei Minzhi stopped writing, raised her head from the stacked account books, and rubbed her sore shoulders.

It was almost noon.

Because of Xie Bo's mobility, since they settled down in the inn, the three of them had three meals a day in the guest room.

At this time of day, if Feng Chun hadn't gone to the mountains to collect herbs, he would have prepared his food early.Just wait for him to enter the door, just clean his hands, and the temple of five internal organs can be appeased.

Thinking about it, Pei Minzhi seemed to really smell the rich aroma of rice, as if he saw the pair of agile and gentle smiling eyes that could not be concealed by the hot air.

His little Chun'er has clear eyes and is full of expectations for himself.

Pei Minzhi never dared to think about these pictures when he was doing the work, he was afraid that he would be addicted to them, and even this short half-day separation would become unbearable.

"Listen up, everyone in the inn! Yamen handles the case! Everyone come out and gather!"

The sudden noise outside the door scattered Pei Minzhi's tenderness that had just climbed to the corners of his mouth and eyebrows.

"The yamen handles the case! Close the door of the inn, and the idlers are not allowed to come in and out at will! Everyone gather on the first floor!"

Another shout resounded through the entire two-story building.

"Hey, gentlemen, why is this! Our small shop has always been doing serious business!"

The shopkeeper looked flustered, begging unceasingly.However, the yamen servants in black clothes ignored them and began to search the store with great fanfare.Soon, there were violent knocks on the door one after another, and the whole inn was thrown into chaos.

"Boom boom boom! Open the door! Come out!"

At this time, Xie Bo was lying in the guest room on the second floor with his eyes closed, and he was suddenly frightened by the extremely rude door calling.

"Who is it? Cough cough cough... wait..."

The old man stood up tremblingly, his already weak body became more and more disobedient because of panic.Just as he was in a hurry, the door of the room was already kicked open.

"Old man, why are you dawdling? Go downstairs for me! Everyone else, go in and search!"

The leading yamen servant pushed Xie Bo back hard, and Xie Bo staggered and nearly fell to the ground.Fortunately, Pei Minzhi who rushed upstairs in time supported him firmly.

"The old man is still sick, what are you doing!?"

Pei Minzhi, who was always gentle and refined, had anger burning in his eyes.

"Yo? How dare you challenge me? I think you have eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard."

The leading yamen servant was playing with a heavy iron ruler in his hand, and slowly approached him with a cruel and sinister expression.

"Impede the patrolling inspection site, be careful that my iron ruler has no eyes."

Taking advantage of the violent coughing and panting that finally subsided, Xie Bo squeezed Pei Minzhi's arm that was tense due to anger.

Pei Minzhi understood Xie Bo's meaning too well.

Be patient when things happen, and protect yourself wisely.

It was these eight words that allowed Pei Minzhi to escape from the tiger's mouth and wolf's den calmly, and lived to this day.It is also because of this that Xie Bo, who saw all this in his eyes, regarded this sentence as his life creed, and he kept it in Pei Minzhi's ear for half his life.

"The lord calm down, the lord calms down. It's all because of the old slave's clumsiness and wasted time. Let's go downstairs now!"

"My lord, forget it, let's go downstairs."

Pei Minzhi didn't want to disobey Uncle Xie at this time, so he lowered his eyebrows, withdrew his indignant gaze, supported Uncle Xie without saying a word, limped out of the room, and went downstairs.

"Yo, it turned out to be a cripple! The cripple has a stubborn temper, hahahaha..."

"Soon he won't be able to get stubborn anymore, scoff..."

Enduring the roar of laughter from behind, Pei Minzhi whispered in Xie Bo's ear with a dignified expression.

"Xie Bo, Xiaochun'er is not in the house?"

"Not here, cough cough cough... I haven't seen the shadow of the child for most of the day, and the old slave thought he went to the young master. Why, the young master didn't see him?"

Pei Minzhi shook his head, frowning even tighter.

"Don't worry, my lord. Maybe that child has something to go out. It's almost time for dinner, and I think the person will come back in just a short while. Don't worry, this child knows the seriousness. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to meet this old slave, and go out by himself.”

While talking, the two helped each other to the hall on the first floor.

There were already a lot of people standing there, all whispering to each other about something.

"What's going on here?"

"Hey, I heard someone lost something."

"Is throwing something so exciting?"

"You don't know that, do you? It's not worth the money to lose this thing. The key is the person who lost it. He has a lot of background."

"Could it be some kind of royal relative?"

"Hush, I heard that he is the second son of the Zhang family who is well-known in the capital!"

"That powerful Zhang family?"

"you do not say!"

"Hey, don't listen to his nonsense, if he is really as expensive as you say, how can he live in such a poor place?"

"Hmph, believe it or not, just wait and see!"

"Shut up for me!"

After searching the room, the servants came out in a single file, and surrounded everyone aggressively.Standing next to the leading yamen servant was Zhang Jinquan, the playboy who made things difficult for Feng Chun this morning.

"The county government received a report that a Mr. Zhang lost a priceless jade pendant in this inn. At present, the prisoner has been locked up. It is the helper staying in this inn, surnamed Feng Mingchun! This person has now fled in fear of crime. gone."

There was an uproar when everyone heard the words.

"Feng Chun? Who is Feng Chun?"

"It's the little mute who can't speak, the very good-looking one!"

"He's talking about Xiaochun'er? How could it be, that child is so well-behaved..."

"Hey, knowing people and faces but not knowing the heart!"

"What? Cough, cough, what are they talking about, young master?"

Xie Bo looked at Pei Minzhi with a livid face.

Pei Minzhi pursed her thin lips tightly, and firmly supported Xie Bo.

"Quiet!"

"At present, we have the basic situation of this case, but the criminal is still at large. In order to bring him to justice as soon as possible, we need everyone present to provide clues. Anyone who helps solve the case will be rewarded! Anyone who knows the truth and does not report it will surely Severe punishment!"

The crowd who couldn't stand the incitement began to cast their eyes on Pei Minzhi and Xie Bo with hesitation.

Pei Minzhi was not afraid of those suspicious, probing or contemptuous eyes, and asked righteously: "Why do you say that Feng Chun stole the thing? Where is the evidence? Is it possible for an official to spout blood and arrest people at will? ?"

"It's you again, who are you? Openly obstruct the Yamen's handling of the case, and you can bear the consequences?"
