Chapter 150: Now Is a Time of Trouble, Let’s Get Through This First

Tang Wanrou looked pale after going through many hardships. After Shen Qing agreed to her, a trace of blood finally appeared on her face.

She walked to Zhui Feng, was pulled firmly onto the horse by Shen Qing, and sat in front of Shen Qing's chest.

"drive!"

Zhui Feng seemed to sense his master's eagerness. Without even raising his whip, he spontaneously took four hooves and galloped along the winding path in the direction of Taiping County.

The sound of horse's hooves was clear and powerful, echoing in the mountains and forests, startling the birds that roosted in the forest along the way, causing them to flap their wings and fly high, leaving behind a series of crisp chirps.

Shen Qing took Tang Wanrou and ran all the way. It took him two quarters of an hour to successfully arrive at the towering gate of Taiping County.

Seeing that he was about to pass through the city gate, Shen Qing hurriedly tightened the reins to slow down Zhui Feng.

Then he habitually took out twenty coins from his pocket and threw it to the guard under the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city noticed that Shen Qing was riding a tall horse with a noble temperament and did not seem to be someone to be trifled with. They immediately stepped aside to let him pass.

Shen Qing then rode in, ran into the city and headed towards the Taiping Escort Office.

He looked around and saw that the bustle on the street was no longer the same as before. Only the scattered sounds of vendors hawking and the bargaining sounds of some pedestrians appeared intermittently on the street.

Shen Qing and Tang Wanrou were busy with their own affairs and had no time to take care of them.

"drive!"

After Shen Qing entered the inner city, he whipped his whip fiercely.

The sudden acceleration of the chasing wind was like a strong wind, leaving only hurried afterimages on the street.

After a moment of practice, Shen Qing and the others saw the solemn door of the Taiping Escort Bureau.

Tang Wanrou knew better when she saw that Shen Qing had sent her to the door of the Taiping Escort Bureau instead of the Yamen.

This powerful disciple of Linfeng Hall did not want to be involved in this disaster of the Taiping Escort Bureau.

Tang Wanrou didn't complain or say anything more.

She turned over and dismounted, her movements were neat and agile. She was not as delicate as a little girl, but had the boldness of many children in the world.

"Master Shen, wait for me."

With that said, Tang Wanrou stepped onto the steps leading to the door and patted the door.

Soon a door opened. After seeing Tang Wanrou, he said unexpectedly: "Miss, aren't you?"

"You greet Mr. Shen, and I'll go get something."

"Yes, Miss."

The door stepped aside and Tang Wanrou rushed in quickly.

After a while of burning incense, Tang Wanrou left and came back. He took out a wad of silver notes from his arms, presented them with both hands and said: "Our Taiping Escort Bureau has experienced such a big change, so we are cautious about our hands. These five hundred taels, young master." Keep it for now, and wait for our escort agency to regain its composure before making a generous reward. "

Shen Qing looked at Tang Wanrou's solemn face and said calmly: "No need, if I don't kill him, that person also wants to take my life, and I'm not just trying to save you. This money may be very useful to you escort agency. It’s important, it’s a pity to give it to me. You can keep it for now and decide later.”

Hearing Shen Qing's answer, Tang Wanrou suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Qing in surprise.

Shen Qing didn't want to explain any more and said, "If Miss Tang has nothing to do, I'll leave first. Farewell!"

After speaking, Shen Qing tugged hard on the reins in his hand.

Zhui Feng whistled softly and flew away under Tang Wanrou's complicated eyes.

Looking at Shen Qing's retreating figure, Tang Wanrou silently lowered his raised arms and laughed to himself: "Oh, I didn't fall in love with him at the time, and he doesn't fall in love with me now, it's really a trick of fate. "

A deep sense of loss kept welling up in her heart.

"However, you can't achieve anything by relying on others. I still carry a blood feud, and now is not the time to feel sorry for myself."

"Could it be that without him, I can't avenge this revenge? I can't avenge it? I don't believe it."

Soon Tang Wanrou's eyes became firm and she cheered up again.

She collected her thoughts and called an old servant in the room: "Ask Butler Chen to come over and get some silver and gold leaves. Follow me to the Yamen."

…

Taiping County Government Office Gate.

Tang Wanrou walked towards the majestic gate of the county government office in a hurry, her frown revealing unquestionable determination.

The old servant of the Taiping Escort Bureau followed closely behind her.

She directly went to the doorkeeper Si Yan, also known as the door administrator, and said straight to the point: "I would like to inform you that I am Tang Wanrou, the eldest lady of the Taiping Escort Bureau in the city. I have urgent business and need to meet with the county magistrate immediately."

Si Yan, who was guarding the door, glanced at her with a trace of disdain in his eyes. He raised his chin and said, "Did you see the Dengwen drum at the door? Just go and beat the drum. The county magistrate will naturally summon you if he hears it." your."

Tang Wanrou couldn't wait any longer.

This Dengwen drum was known throughout the city, and it was still unknown whether the county magistrate would be able to summon her after it was sounded.

It is said that the king of hell is easy to deal with but the devil is difficult to deal with.

She had seen it today.

Si Yan is in charge of opening and closing the gate of the government office, and controls the access rights. He is mainly responsible for notifying the host officials of the visitors and deciding whether they can enter the government office.

Although their status is low, they have considerable power. They can decide whether to notify the visitor, thus affecting the visitor's fate to a certain extent.

"It's a small thought, but it's not respectful. This matter is related to your master's future. It's extremely urgent. I hope your Excellency will inform you."

Si Yan accepted the "door bag" handed over by Tang Wanrou, and was immediately dazzled by the money, and his attitude immediately became attentive: "Oh, Miss Tang, please wait a moment, I will report it right away."

After a while, Si Yan came out, let Tang Wanrou in and led her to another room.

Tang Wanrou had to repeat his old tricks and take another step.

In this way, one level after another, Tang Wanrou's hundreds of taels of silver came out like running water.

Finally, after a series of "wait a moment" and "be more accommodating", she was led to a study room that was simply decorated but impressive.

The door was gently pushed open, and a calm breath came to his face. County Magistrate Du Yuntong was sitting behind the papers with his eyes as bright as a torch.

"Tang Wanrou, a citizen girl, has urgent official business that needs to be reported to your Excellency immediately!" Before the announcement was completed, Tang Wanrou had already stepped in with a clear voice that touched people's hearts.

County Magistrate Du Yuntong raised his head and looked at Tang Wanrou. Before she came, he had already received the "pass" from the people below.

"Oh? What's so urgent about Miss Tang?" County Magistrate Du Yuntong's voice was deep and powerful, revealing a bit of majesty.

"Sir, someone is smuggling military supplies from the arsenal!" Tang Wanrou spoke carefully and carefully, and her voice echoed in the study.

County Magistrate Du Yuntong's face instantly became solemn. He stood up and walked slowly to Tang Wanrou: "This matter is not trivial. Do you have any conclusive evidence?"

"The evidence is conclusive, my family is escorting today..." Tang Wanrou straightened her back and looked firmly at the county magistrate. She told everything that happened today, and every word was like an oath, resoundingly: "The daughter of the people is willing to With your life and property on the line, please order a thorough investigation immediately! That group of thieves is now in the Zhangzi Forest, and you can see it if you send troops immediately."

County Magistrate Du Yuntong pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I already understand. I will immediately mobilize manpower to go with you to investigate. If there is really something wrong, I will definitely punish you severely!"

Tang Wanrou cried with joy and said, "Thank you, Lord County Magistrate!"

"You go to the back room and wait for a while. I will make arrangements." County Magistrate Du Yuntong called the servant and said, "Take Miss Tang to the back hall to have a rest."

"Yes." An escort came forward and took Tang Wanrou down.

After sending Tang Wanrou away, County Magistrate Du Yuntong walked back and forth in his study, thinking constantly in his mind.

"Someone from the Weiwu Department in the county will be here soon to deal with the matter of the Tiger Demon and the Huangtian Sect. This is not a good time to cause trouble. If I make a careless move, I might lose my official status."

"In these troubled times, it's better to get over the current hurdle first." County Magistrate Du Yuntong made up his mind: "When the County Guards comes, if we can push this matter to them, I will push it to them."

"In this case, this Taiping Escort Bureau cannot stay..."

Let me tell you about the update to the students who are following me. Currently, my update time is basically around 0:00 in the morning. If there is no update that day, I will ask for leave in advance and make it clear to everyone.

Generally speaking, I will update no later than 1 o'clock. The part-time party for handicapped people has been updated relatively late, so you can catch up after some sleep.

Thank you for your support.
