idle mistress

Chapter 178 Wanted

In this way, Chengjun entered the city without a single soldier.

Almost all the rebels in the city were taken into prison. In just a few hours, Cangcheng was once again in the hands of the imperial court...

"Come on, let's drink porridge..."

Lu Huijuan was so hungry that her heart was flustered and her limbs were weak.

Seeing that Zhang Mingxin brought himself another pot of gruel, which was full of wild vegetables and water, he felt extremely upset, and immediately lost his temper, and knocked the pot to the ground with one hand:

"You can see the vegetables but not the rice, what kind of porridge is this?"

Zhang Mingxin hurriedly rescued the overturned pot, and seeing that there was only half of the pot left, he couldn't help but regretted, "If you don't drink, I will drink."

Seeing that the woman was angry and silent, he softened his heart, and handed the remaining half pot of porridge to her, coaxing her:
"Let's eat as much as we can. Now the city is in chaos, and even the rich can't buy food, let alone poor people like us. Eat, if you don't eat, you will be hungry today."

Lu Huijuan couldn't bear the torture of starvation, so she took the pot over, and couldn't help cursing at the end: "A big man can't even support his own woman, it's really useless."

Zhang Mingxin was scolded, but didn't say anything, just sat down beside him.

Lu Huijuan saw that he looked like a wimp, she was furious, but she couldn't vent her anger, so she gurgled down the half pot of porridge in one gulp.

After putting down the pot, I felt my stomach was still hungry, so I couldn't help complaining:
"I don't know what this Chengjun is doing for food. He has been in the city for so long, why hasn't food entered the city yet, and why are we ordinary people alive?"

Zhang Mingxin heard this, and hurried forward to cover her mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense, if people hear you, you will be killed."

Lu Huijuan didn't understand the truth that disease comes from the mouth and disaster comes from the mouth, so she quickly shut up.

She was so hungry that she went out to wander outside the houses of those rich families, hoping to pick up some food, but after walking for two hours, she found nothing, and went home with an empty stomach.

Seeing her limp on the ground, Zhang Mingxin couldn't help laughing at her and said, "Isn't that out of your imagination? Now that the whole city is short of food, there is no way to find food. It's just a waste of effort."

Lu Huijuan was not satisfied with this, she taunted: "If you stay at home every day like you, even if the pie falls from the sky, it won't fall on your head."

The next day, she still gave up and went out for a walk again.

When she came to the gate of a family surnamed Chen, she saw that the owner had poured some food into the broken porcelain bowl in front of the gate, she suddenly regained her spirits and wanted to go forward to take it away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the person approached, a big ferocious wolf dog suddenly jumped out from the courtyard and barked at her.

Lu Huijuan was startled, turned her head and ran away, it was fine if she didn't run, but when she ran, the big wolf dog chased after her.

In this way, she was chased by dogs for several blocks one after another, her feet sprained, and she was so frightened that she almost passed the urine.

After finally escaping, Lu Huijuan came to the market resentfully, thinking that it was another day to return empty-handed, she dragged her legs along the road, and saw a group of people gathered around and didn't know what they were looking at.

She has always liked to watch the excitement, so she joined in without thinking about it. It turned out that she was watching the notice just posted by the government.

Looking up, she saw a portrait of a person painted on the white notice. That person had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a beard. Seeing this, she was slightly taken aback... Isn't this person Mu Xiu?
She couldn't read, so she had to ask the man who looked like a scholar, "Sir, what is written on this notice?"

Seeing that she was dressed in rags, the man said to her with contempt: "This is not a notice, this is obviously a wanted order."

After all, the other party read the words above.

Apprehension: Huren, Adamusiu, a vicious and vicious man who once served Donghu, was an enemy of the Dacheng Dynasty, and is now in the company of Li Thief. If anyone captures this person, he will be rewarded with 300 taels of silver and ten stones of grain; Anyone who conceals or fails to report his knowledge shall be guilty of the same offense as the prisoner. "

The other party read a passage politely, but Lu Huijuan didn't understand the meaning, so she couldn't help asking: "What do you mean?"

The other party seemed quite impatient, and said: "You are a woman, why do you care about this? Go...go...go...." While talking, he was about to drive her away.

Some of the onlookers saw this and talked a lot: "That is to say, if anyone knows where Sisi is hiding, report it to the government and get 300 taels of silver and three stones of grain."

Lu Huijuan's eyes lit up when she heard that there was not only food, but also rewards.

Who said there won't be pies in the sky?Not only did the cake fall, it fell straight onto his own head.

Lu Huijuan didn't say anything, but chose to wait on the sidelines. After the crowd of onlookers dispersed, she quietly stepped forward and tore off the wanted warrant.

When she got home, she told Zhang Mingxin the good news and asked him to report to the Yamen.

Zhang Mingxin was dubious, but he was soft-hearted, and was finally persuaded by her.

On the same day, he entered the Yamen with the arrest warrant.

After the government heard the news, they immediately dispatched officers and soldiers to block the prisoner's hiding place.

Soon, several prisoners were released from this private house, including a frail woman.

Seeing this battle, many people surrounded him and pointed at him.

Lu Huijuan hid in the crowd and watched from afar, watching Mu Xiu and Shen Qing being restrained and walking forward bound together, she felt extremely happy.

I only hoped that this pair of dogs and men would die badly, this time I sent them to the dungeon with my own hands, and my wish was fulfilled.

The vengeance has been avenged, and there are still a lot of rewards and food in hand, not to mention how happy the future will be.

Thinking of this, Lu Huijuan felt very proud...

A face with a perverted smile suddenly became distorted and ugly. The person next to her glanced at her inadvertently, and took two steps back in fright.

Shen Qing was escorted to the prison car, she turned her head, her gaze swept across a familiar face among the crowd, and she couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

It was this moment of ecstasy that made her slow down.

Seeing this, the escort behind him stretched out his hand and pushed her from behind impatiently. Shen Qing lost his footing, staggered and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the little official raised the cane in his hand and pulled it towards her. Mu Xiu, who was not far away, immediately looked fierce when he saw this. What are you doing? Don't hit her, stop."

Two servants behind him rushed forward and held him down. He struggled hard, but two more came up from behind and pressed him firmly to the ground.

Soon, the cane fell on him.

However, from the beginning to the end, Mu Xiu's eyes were fixed on the front.

The little official in front of him turned his head and saw that he, a lost dog in Pingyang, dared to be so arrogant. He became annoyed and became ruthless. He threw down the cane and kicked the woman on the ground.
