Chapter 37: Anping Town
Although Su Yan did not obtain the qualification of a coroner, he had worked as a coroner in the government office for many years. Now that he was leaving, he should go to the government office again to explain the situation to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The pass of the Zhou Dynasty was called "Chuan" and was made of wood. It was a pass and needed to be issued by the county government.
Su Yan had some acquaintances in the government office, and with the help of Captain Zhao, the matter was quickly settled.
When Captain Zhao handed the letter to Su Yan, he was reluctant to let her go. "Are you really leaving? You are just a little girl. What if you meet bad guys on the way? Isn't it better to stay in Anping Town? We have the protection of the Changwei Army. It's not safe outside."
Su Yan also couldn't bear to leave Captain Zhao.
When she first arrived at the county government office, everyone looked down on her because she was a girl. Only Captain Zhao was willing to listen to her.
Captain Zhao's family were all kind. They knew she had no one to rely on, so whenever they cooked meat, they would always invite her to their home for dinner.
To Yu Suyan, Captain Zhao's family is her family.
But she was determined to find the villain who had harmed her parents, and she would try her best even if it meant she would die.
Su Yan pretended to be relaxed and said, "I want to go around and see the prosperity of Jiangnan and Kyoto. I'm not welcome in the town anyway."
Su Yan looked nonchalant, but Captain Zhao could clearly hear her muttering in her heart, "I won't be able to see Brother Zhao anymore, and I won't be able to eat noodles with soybean paste anymore, wuwuwu."
Captain Zhao was deeply moved.
It turns out that his status is comparable to that of Zhajiangmian, which shows how important he is in Su Yan's heart!
Captain Zhao had two money bags on his waist. He took one off and handed it to Su Yan. "I know you are doing this for your parents. You are filial. I can't stop you from doing this. I can't help you. Take this bag of silver. It was specially prepared by your sister-in-law. Don't mistreat yourself when you are out there alone."
Su Yan's eyes were sore, she pushed away Captain Zhao's hand, "My father used to be a doctor, and he left a lot of money, I saved it and never touched it, the money is enough."
"Your sister-in-law asked me to give it to you. If you refuse, you will offend her. You..."
As the two were pushing and shoving each other, Chu Feng walked in.
He bowed respectfully to Captain Zhao, then looked at Su Yan, "Why is Miss Su carrying a bag?"
Captain Zhao said, "Girl Su is leaving."
Chu Feng was slightly stunned.
For fear that Qin Wanyue would get jealous, Su Yan originally had no plans to say goodbye to Chu Feng.
But since he was here, Su Yan had to be polite, "Mr. Chu, I have to go to the capital. I am sorry for the matter of the hall master."
"Beijing?!" Shi Yangui's face flashed through Chu Feng's mind. He asked nervously, "Are you going to find Shi Yangui?"
Chu Feng's thoughts were all written on his face.
Su Yan replied calmly: "General Shi is stationed in the border areas, so I don't think he will stay in the capital."
"Even so..." Chu Feng approached Su Yan, "Will he stay in the borderland forever?"
Chu Feng is a scholar and pays the most attention to his manners in his daily life.
Now his eyes are red and he looks anxious.
No matter how good-tempered Su Yan was, she couldn't hold back at this moment. She said coldly: "This has nothing to do with Mr. Chu."
"I'm thinking about you! He is such a person, and what are you like? You are just a plaything in front of him. How can you go far away for him, to a place where you are unfamiliar with? He will marry sooner or later, and with your status, you can't even be his concubine. You..."
Su Yan interrupted him calmly, "Mr. Chu, what kind of man do you think I should marry?"
Chu Feng said: "Of course, our status is equal."
"Am I a good match for Mr. Chu?"
Chu Feng: "I..."
Su Yan then asked: "Mr. Chu wants to marry me? Does Qin Wanyue know about this?"
Chu Feng: “…”
Su Yan added: "I only believe in one person for life, and I cannot accept having three wives and four concubines. Between me and Qin Wanyue, which one will Mr. Chu choose?"
Chu Feng's forehead was already covered with sweat.
Su Yan looked at him without emotion.
Captain Zhao was almost going home to ask his wife for some candied fruit and malt sugar so that he could sit down and watch the show.
Chu Feng is a scholar, and his status is much higher than Su Yan's, but now Su Yan's aura completely overshadows him.
In Captain Zhao's opinion, Miss Su is much better than Chu Feng. She is smart and kind-hearted. Before she became a coroner, her father Su Mao also ran a legitimate clinic.
What's more, Su girl worked as a coroner and helped the government solve many cases. She has redressed countless dead souls. She is much better than Chu Feng who always belittles people.
Chu Fengjun blushed, "I...don't embarrass me."
"How can this be a problem? Or does Mr. Chu think that my status is not worthy of Mr. Chu?"
Chu Feng's mind was blank. He didn't know how to refute Su Yan, but he knew very well that he didn't mean that, so he hurriedly explained: "Of course I don't think so."
Su Yan said, "That's good. Since Mr. Chu doesn't mind, Mr. Chu can choose between me and Miss Qin."
Chu Feng was speechless.
For a long time, the room was silent.
Captain Zhao's heart was also raised to the top. Such a good show really needed to be watched carefully.
Su Yan smiled and said, "It seems that the answer is obvious. In this case, I will repeat my thoughts. Mr. Chu, I never think that getting married is the most important thing for a woman, and I will not belittle myself because of my status. I have my own things to do, and matters between men and women are not within my plan. My marriage can only be decided by myself, and it has nothing to do with you and General Shi."
Just at this moment, Qin Wanyue ran in with her skirt lifted.
Although she kept her distance from Chu Feng, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes. "You're here. I just went to see my dad and heard that you were here too. What a coincidence!"
Chu Feng looked at Su Yan blankly.
Qin Wanyue said, "You've been in a bad mood these past few days. Let's go out for a walk. I heard there will be a poetry gathering in two days."
Su Yan said: "Since Mr. Chu is busy, please leave quickly. I won't see you off."
Qin Wanyue looked at Su Yan's bag and said, "Are you leaving? Okay, I'll treat you to dinner when you come back."
After saying that, she waved to Chu Feng again. Chu Feng looked at Su Yan intently, and after a moment, he followed Qin Wanyue away.
Qin Wanyue was cheerful, but Chu Feng's back was like a lonely tree in the desert, as if it was experiencing the erosion of wind and frost.
Su Yan said softly: "How pitiful."
Captain Zhao said: "Chu Feng is quite pitiful."
Su Yan said, "I'm talking about Qin Wanyue."
Captain Zhao was puzzled.
Qin Wanyue grew up in a honeypot. Everything about her is good. How can she be pitiful?
Captain Zhao wanted to ask, but Su Yan stopped explaining.
*
Among the lush vegetation in the mountains, a narrow path divides the lush green trees.
The treetops on both sides of the road just touch each other, bringing some shade to the path.
Su Yan and Yun Xing rode the same horse.
Su Yan doesn't know how to ride a horse, but she is willing to learn. However, something goes wrong when she and Yun Xing are on the road - someone is following them.
She was probably Shi Yangui's person. Shi Yangui was still waiting for her in Anping Town, but he never expected that she ran away with someone else.
Yunxing took shortcuts and changed directions. After half a day, when the sun was about to set, he said that he had shaken off the people who were following them.
Su Yan’s kung fu is not as good as Yun Xing’s, so he can only choose to believe what he says.
Although she said she believed him, she actually didn't quite believe him. To her, Shi Yangui and Yun Xing were no different; both were people who could not be trusted.
She chose to temporarily ally with Yun Xing only because he could have killed her, but he didn't. She wanted to find out the truth, and she had to choose one of them. Su Yan would rather choose Yun Xing.
As for vigilance, it is impossible not to have it.
Su Yan sat on the horse and thought about random things.
Yun Xing sat behind her, politely keeping a certain distance so that the two of them were not too close to each other.
He doesn't like to talk. In order to ease the atmosphere, Su Yan tried to find topics several times, but Yun Xing's answers were lukewarm or he didn't answer at all.
Su Yan was a little bored, so she was guessing Yun Xing's purpose and identity in her heart. She didn't think Yun Xing would help her for no reason.
—— Yun Xing might be a member of the Shi family. He knows Shi Yangui and is very familiar with the Shi family's token. Or maybe the secret of the token is well known to everyone, but I am just a small character and don't know it. I will find out everything when I go to the capital.
--besides……
Yun Xing suddenly said, "Just say whatever you want to say. Don't offend people without realizing it."
Here it is again.
Su Yan felt very aggrieved. She was such a servile person. Even to Zhao Mingde, she could praise him for his noble character and dedication to the country and the people. How could she offend him?
However, before Su Yan could speak, Yun Xing continued, "You really don't know the reason?"
Su Yan shook his head in confusion and said angrily, "I won't offend anyone."
Yun Xing lowered his eyes and glanced at her, then said after a moment: "I can hear what you are thinking."
Su Yan: “?”
"Not much, but I can hear how you scold me."
Su Yan: “…”
What? What?
Su Yan shouldn't have believed such absurd words, but as soon as Yun Xing said it, Su Yan felt that everything made sense.
No wonder Captain Zhao always hesitated to speak, no wonder people in Taowu Village disliked her. She was unwilling to tell the truth and was always imagining things in her mind!
It turns out that those who are willing to be close to her are the ones who truly treat her well!
——I can’t scold Yunxing recently. Wait, I just said he was like a taciturn monster. Didn’t he hear it too?
Yun Xing said, “I heard it.”
Su Yan: “…”
She quietly covered her mouth, but then found that it was of no use.
But how could she control what she was thinking? !
