Xu Zhiyuan asked Mr. Liu if he had any recollection of what happened before.
Mr. Liu recalled for a long time and realized that he was not taken away in his sleep.
He remembered that he went out for something early in the morning and passed through a small alley. Suddenly, something covered his head, and a strange fragrance came. Then he knew nothing.
Both of them were dizzy and couldn't figure out what was going on.
At this moment, they heard a snorting sound of an animal. They were startled and stopped at the same time, their eyes unconsciously looking forward.
There was a carriage parked in front of me, and everything around was silent.
Next to the carriage, a black horse was standing still, breathing heavily.
The two men walked forward carefully and found that there was no one in the carriage, but two bundles.
And the aroma of food.
The two of them looked at each other and swallowed their saliva at the same time.
Xu Zhiyuan couldn't wait to pick up a bundle and open it, and found two meat patties inside.
He and Mr. Liu each took a cake and began to devour it ravenously, and only then did they feel a little better.
Xu Zhiyuan looked around and cursed, "What the hell is this place?"
When Mr. Liu regained consciousness, he thought he was kidnapped, but the surroundings were strangely quiet and there was no suspicious person at all.
He looked back at the dilapidated temple again, and a sense of déjà vu flashed through his mind.
"This... seems to be the temple on Wuhong Mountain. I passed by here when I was in Yunzhou a few years ago and I have some impression of it."
"Wuhong Mountain?" Xu Zhiyuan was stunned.
I just took a nap, why did I come here?
Mr. Liu shrank his neck, a little scared:
"Sir, someone must have brought us here on purpose..."
"Where is anyone?" Xu Zhiyuan rolled his eyes and replied impatiently, "Open your eyes and look around. Apart from the two of us, is there anyone else around?"
He was so angry that he had no place to vent. He put his hands on his waist, his eyes wandered for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know the way back to Tang?"
Mr. Liu pointed to the slope in front of them and said that if they went down from here and walked along the road, they should be able to return to the county.
Wu Zhiyuan said that he didn't care, fortunately he had a carriage, so he went back to the county first and then reported to the authorities.
After saying that, he prepared to get into the car.
At this moment, Mr. Liu suddenly said "Eh!" and bent down to pick up something like a piece of paper from the ground.
That was what fell out of the bag just now.
He took a look in the dim light and was stunned for a moment.
"Young Master, Young Master!"
Wu Zhiyuan poked his head out impatiently, "What's wrong?"
Master Liu held up something in his hand, and even his voice was trembling.
"Silver note...It's a silver note!"
Xu Zhiyuan was also shocked. He thought to himself, "Never mind. Fortunately, we have a carriage. Let's go back to the county first and report to the authorities later."
"Thirteen thousand taels of silver..."
After they finished counting, their faces changed at the same time.
Mr. Liu had 13,000 taels of silver deposited in the account of Tongyun Money House.
Two thousand taels of silver were earned by the two men from secretly lending at double the price, and the other eleven thousand taels of silver were bribes given to Grand Tutor Xu by Zhengqing and other people who bought official positions!
Xu Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat.
To withdraw this money, both myself and Mr. Liu must sign.
But when did he sign such a thing?
Mr. Liu was also shocked and puzzled.
"It must be an evil spirit, it must be an evil spirit..." The more Mr. Liu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and even his legs felt weak.
Wu Zhiyuan also stood there in a daze, his mind going blank.
What the two of them didn't know was that in the darkness of the bamboo forest to their right, there were two figures, one tall and one short, sitting side by side on a large bluestone.
The two figures' gazes were passing through the bamboo shadows, looking leisurely at Wu Zhiyuan and Mr. Liu.
Yan Jing sat on the stone, dangling his two feet in the air, covering his mouth and laughing.
It seems that Little Orange and Zao were frightened.
She leaned over to Zhu Lan's ear and was about to whisper something, but Zhu Lan suddenly raised his finger at her.
"Shh, don't talk, it's coming."
Yan Jing immediately looked in the direction of the two people. Her sight passed over the carriage and fell on another figure.
