hidden old spring

Chapter 47

"Haha, what a sharp-tongued person."

Su Changan nodded very calmly and replied to him.

"Old and unrepaired."

Su Changan rolled his sleeves and planned to enter the house. At this time, the middle-aged man got down to business.

"My master wants to see you."

"I won't go." Who wants her to go?

"My master is a scholar from Zhao in the city!"

"do not know."

Seeing that Su Changan had really entered and was about to close the door, the middle-aged man became anxious.

"You injured my young master, do you admit it? Little girl, I advise you to behave yourself, otherwise you won't be able to enter our Zhao family!"

This seemed like a threat, but Su Changan couldn't understand it.

"The county is so big, why do I have to go to your Zhao family to visit?"

"Also, today I beat up a bastard who pounces on girls when he sees them. If he is sick, please keep him at home and take care of him. Don't let him out to harm other girls."

After saying this, Su Changan closed the door.

The middle-aged man shouted that Su Changan was an unreasonable person and spread rumors about his young master.

But no matter how loud he shouted, Su Changan ignored him, sat down on the bed, and then collapsed.

I'm so tired, I really want to sleep...

But no, she would have to wash up later.

But, I’m really sleepy...

=========
Su Changan, who struggled to wash up and go to bed, thought that this was the end of the matter and nothing else would happen.

But she didn't expect that she was woken up by a scream at midnight (around midnight).

what's the situation?
Su Changan opened her eyes with difficulty and subconsciously looked in the direction of the scream, but she couldn't see anything through the wall.

The screaming continued, and it sounded like a man's voice.

Su Changan was too weak to get up, and struggled with her head on the soft pillow until the screams subsided, someone knocked on her courtyard door, and the sound of silver and copper eggs rang out, and she collapsed completely.

Great, someone took care of it and she can go back to sleep.

The commotion was so loud that the neighbors were woken up. They came out to see what was going on. Yin Dan circled around and clasped his fists and raised his voice.

"Dear uncles and aunties, my master is in the courtyard. It's already midnight. I have no choice but to climb over the wall. Please bear witness."

The person screaming in the yard was a man. Hearing the noise, it was probably a donkey kicking someone. Anyone with some life experience would have guessed that a thief had entered the yard and was kicked by the donkey.

It was precisely because of this that Yin Dan and Tong Dan did not make any mistakes even though they were anxious. Instead, they waited until more people gathered before telling them about climbing over the wall.

"Come on, come on, let's watch. A little girl will definitely not dare to come out when there is such a big movement in the yard."

"Turn it over, we're all watching."

"Turn it over, turn it over..."

There were echoes one after another, and it was only then that Yin Dan quickly climbed over the wall and opened the courtyard door.

The courtyard door opened, and everyone rushed in under the moonlight. They saw a strong man staggering around after being kicked by a donkey, and there was a reflective object on the ground.

The doors and windows of the main house were closed tightly. Tongdan, who was young, walked around the strong man who was still being kicked by the donkey and came to the window, and spoke in a loud voice.

"Master, you are safe in there!"

Su Changan didn't want to move inside and struggled for a long time before he spoke.

"It's a copper egg. What's going on outside?"

He was very sleepy, so he didn't sound frightened, but he could tell that Su Changan was very sleepy.Tongdan was about to say: It's okay outside, master, just go to sleep.

A good-hearted aunt came over, and Tongdan didn't even react, so she opened the window.

There was a latch in the window, but the aunt broke it with great force. After opening the window, she looked inside with wide eyes and said loudly in a high voice.

"Why are you sleeping! How can you sleep when there is so much noise outside? Why don't I believe it!"

The room was dark, but it was not impossible to see. The window faced the kang where Su Changan slept, and it was almost clear whether he was asleep or not.

But before the aunt could say anything, she was pushed down by Tongdan, and the opened window clicked shut again.

"Ouch! Why are you pushing me, little brat!"

The aunt was angry, and Tongdan was even more angry.

"Who are you? How can you open the window?"

The aunt realized at this time that the girl was sleeping, so she opened the window to take a look. This would harm the girl's reputation.

Therefore, her defensive voice was two points weaker.

"What's so good about a skinny little girl? What can she see in the dark?"

Her little face bulged with anger, and the aunt, knowing that she was in the wrong, got up from the ground and patted the dust off her body. Without saying anything else, she quickly moved her hands and feet to the side.

At this time, the donkey's kicking came to an end, and the big man couldn't get up at all. At this time, someone also lit a torch and came over, so he could see his surroundings clearly.

As soon as there was light, people saw the knife lying on the ground, and the big man who was kicked and couldn't get up.

"There is a knife! It's a murderer!"

They thought it was a thief who had been caught, so they took their time and seemed to be watching the fun.

But now that there is a murder weapon, the situation is different.

If a thief is found in the house, most of them will let him go after a beating.

But those who commit crimes openly will definitely be sent to the government after being beaten.

Li Dahu and Chen Liu took the lead to stand up. They controlled the big man on the left and right before Li Dahu shouted.

"Get a rope!"

Someone responded, and soon the rope was obtained.

Then they were tied up, and then a group of people went to the Yamen under the escort of everyone.

As for Su Changan, she had already fallen asleep again. Tongdan squatted under Su Changan's window with her hands clasped and guarded her with a serious expression. The donkey also scratched its hooves and stood in the yard with a strong sense of intimidation.

There is a curfew in the city at night, but it does not mean that the government offices are closed at night.

In the evening, there were yamen patrolling in the city, and there were also yamen guards in the yamen, so prisoners could be sent to the yamen at night.

On the way, this group of people met the patrolling government officials. Under the care of these government officials, they sent the big man who was knocked unconscious by the donkey into the government office. Of course there was a reason why they were so active.

Under the eager gazes of these people, a government official opened the picture album and compared them one by one, and finally settled on a wanted poster, his tone even higher.

"Li Hutou! He once occupied the mountain as king for three years and killed dozens of ordinary people!"

The person who couldn't read and couldn't hold his breath quickly asked.

"How much? How much is the reward?"

The yamen servant raised his head and glanced around. When he met a pair of sultry eyes, he smiled and spoke.

"Fifty taels. Among the passers-by he killed was a scholar who was rushing to take the exam. It was precisely because he committed such crimes that he later disappeared."

Closing the picture album in his hand, the yamen servant ignored the exclamations and spoke again.

"The silver needs to be confirmed before his identity can be collected. Let's put it here first and wait for the master and master to wake up before reviewing it."
