Zhou Qingfeng's contact with the transmigrators was very risky for both sides. After all, he was still wanted by the Daming officials. But if he didn't contact his companions, the transmigrators would continue to suffer, and no one knew what kind of misfortune awaited the whole team.
In the report, Zhou Qingfeng also explained his current situation. But no one expected the wanted order to come so quickly. Now that danger was approaching, everyone was stunned. Guo Jiaming immediately shouted, "The person who wants to catch Zhou Qingfeng isn't coming for us. Let him go out and hide. We'll just stay in the inn."
Although that was what he said, everyone in the team glared at Guo Jiaming. Even the innkeeper felt that this person was too unreasonable. He couldn't help but say, "There's a night curfew in the city, and ordinary people can't go out. That Master Han outside is also a ruthless person who knows spells. If this young master doesn't have great magical powers, I'm afraid it'll be even more troublesome if he goes out. "
Taoist Tong Chi quickly took out a few taels of silver and stuffed it into the hands of the innkeeper. He asked, "Little brother, we're all law-abiding citizens and don't want to be enemies with the government. It's a pity that we came from afar and lost our travel permits. If we meet the government, we won't be able to explain ourselves. Since this young master has spoken, he must be able to help. "
When Zhou Qingfeng settled the transmigrators in the morning, he took out a lot of silver and gave it to Tong Chi and the others. Taoist Tong Chi knew how to be willing to use silver to bribe his connections at critical times. He gave out about five taels of silver, which was not a small fortune. Zhou Qingfeng's Mind-bewitching Spell was even more effective.
The innkeeper was a little afraid at first, but he was really tempted by the silver. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay if we don't have a travel permit. The government isn't strict enough. At worst, we'll just give some silver and everything will be fine. But this young master is a little troublesome. It's impossible for him to hide in the inn, and the inn will also be implicated. I can lead him somewhere else, but whether or not he can avoid the government will depend on his luck. "
Having the help of the local natives was naturally better than Zhou Qingfeng seeking refuge alone. The transmigrators had dealt with the Ming Dynasty's officials quite a number of times in the past month. They knew that the officials at the bottom of the hierarchy were greedy and lazy. As long as they could fool that Han Gui Constable, who was eager to seek revenge, everything else would be fine.
The waiter brought Zhou Qingfeng away from the back door, while the others packed up and returned to their rooms to sleep. At this time, he heard the sound of cursing and knocking on the door from the street outside. It sounded like the officials in the city were looking for trouble and expanding the search area, seizing the opportunity to extort money.
Zhou Qingfeng came out from the back door of the inn. The sky was dark and the wind was chilly. The waiter led him to an intersection, where he saw a few patrolling soldiers holding torches. With the presence of these soldiers, the innkeeper did not dare to step forward, and Zhou Qingfeng naturally could not leave.
Turning around … The inn worker groped around in the dark and led them into another alley. However, after walking for a while, he saw that there were still guards holding torches in front of him. There were quite a number of them, and they were even actively searching every corner of the night with their torches.
The people did not fight with the officials. Seeing that the officials were actually approaching, the inn worker immediately became timid. He left Zhou Qingfeng and turned to run. Not only was his breathing rapid, but the sound of his running footsteps was also especially loud. The officials who were searching heard the commotion and hurried over to see what was going on.
"Damn it!" Zhou Qingfeng cursed in his heart. His spiritual power had recovered quite a bit, so he was not afraid of a few ordinary officials. He could easily kill them. However, the sharp hearing brought by the 'Wind Listening Stone' was most effective in the silent night, allowing him to clearly determine the layout of all the enemies within a 20-30 meter radius. He knew that once he made a move, it would be like poking a hornet's nest.
When the officials caught up, Zhou Qingfeng could only retreat. He did not have a torch, so he had to use his hands to explore the dark alley. Furthermore, he had to maintain a certain speed with his feet, or else the officials with torches behind him could appear at any time. In this situation, he would occasionally hit his head against the wall. He could not cry out in pain even after hitting it a few times, until he ran out from the other end of the alley.
When he ran out, it was still pitch black, but Zhou Qingfeng was sure that he had not returned to the direction of the inn. The messy construction of the ancient city was too serious. Every inch of space was filled with walls and roads. If one went to the Eastern District of Beijing and looked at the old alleys left behind during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, one would notice that the expensive old buildings were actually short and small, and the alleys were narrow and crooked.
What bad luck!
Zhou Qingfeng had no idea where he was, but he clearly heard a voice coming from the wind. Someone was saying, "Grandfather Han, we saw the kid you are looking for. We ran along this fork, but our brothers are no match for him. However, our brothers are no match for him, so we can only ask Master Han to … 'Ye Siye was stunned.
The conversation ended with a cold grunt. Then, he heard some light footsteps approaching. Accompanied by the crackling of the torches and the slow breathing, the opponent was gathering his aura and getting ready to make a move.
Zhou Qingfeng did not move recklessly. He stood on the spot and carefully listened to the sounds around him. Although the opponent was trying his best to suppress his breathing, with the 'Wind Listening Stone', he could still hear the sound of the air flowing in and out of his chest. The sound would go to the left and then to the right. It was obvious that the alleys in this place were complicated. The opponent had suffered a setback during the day, so he dared not simply barge in.
Just when Zhou Qingfeng was hoping that the opponent would make a mistake and create a chance for him to escape, another sound came from the wind. It was the sound of a bell that swayed along with the footsteps. The clear sound traveled far in the quiet night, and it was very recognizable.
He must have heard this sound somewhere before …
Following that, another noisy voice came from the wind, "Eldest Miss, Eldest Miss, can you go home? Master misses you. He said he will be angry if you don't go home. He asked me to tell you that if you don't go home, he won't give you a single tael of silver this month. He will watch your Merry Forest close down. "
It was' Flat Hair ', the puppet bird from the Guo family's bookstore.
Then, the bell must be … Guo Jiao.
Zhou Qingfeng quickly raised his head to look in the direction of the sound. He guessed that there was a wall between him and the main road. The person walking on the road was Guo Jiao and the puppet bird 'Flat Hair'. Hearing the master and servant's voices getting closer, the enemy who was searching for Zhou Qingfeng also heard them. He didn't seem to want to cause trouble, so he stood there quietly, trying to wait for Guo Jiao to leave.
Zhou Qingfeng, who also didn't dare to move, had an idea. He slowly bent down and felt the ground. When he found a fist-sized rock, he threw it in the direction of Guo Jiao.
The rock flew out silently and landed on the ground with a thud. Zhou Qingfeng quickly heard a woman's delicate shout, "Who … Who's sneaking around there? Get out here. "
After a moment of silence in the night, Zhou Qingfeng felt a gust of wind above his head. The enemy who was searching for him stepped on the wall and leaped over. He heard the person say in a deep voice after landing, "Miss Guo, I am Han Gui from the Thousand Households Office. I am here to capture a criminal. Please don't blame me for disturbing First Miss. "
Zhou Qingfeng heard Guo Jiao coldly say, "Get out." The opponent who had forced him to hold his breath repeatedly said, "Yes," and ran away with his tail between his legs. Zhou Qingfeng, who was on the other side of the wall, let out a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that he had finally gotten through tonight.
But before Zhou Qingfeng could say anything, he heard Guo Jiao shout again, "The one who threw the rock, get out here. You want to use me as a shield? Do you think you can just let it go? "
There was the sound of flapping wings. Zhou Qingfeng raised his head and saw 'Flat Hair' fly to the top of the wall. The puppet bird's eyes lit up like searchlights. The dazzling light shone on Zhou Qingfeng's body. It croaked, "Miss, look who I've caught! It's the rascal who took advantage of us last time. He's using you as a shield to take advantage of us again. "
'Flat Hair' flew to the top of Zhou Qingfeng's head. It grabbed Zhou Qingfeng with its claws and lifted him up. Although it wasn't big, it pulled Zhou Qingfeng over the wall and threw him in front of Guo Jiao.
'Flat Hair' flew up and landed on Guo Jiao's shoulder. Its two searchlight-like eyes looked at Zhou Qingfeng and said proudly, "Miss, hurry up and squeeze him dry. Yesterday, the horse market in Fushun Pass was robbed. Master asked me to fly over and investigate. I saw with my own eyes that this guy was behind it. That idiot Li Yongfang was robbed by him. He must have money on him. "
'Flat Hair' jumped up and down on Guo Jiao's shoulder. It kept shouting, "Don't let this rascal go!" and "Don't let him take advantage of us again." However, after looking at him for a while, Guo Jiao just snorted coldly and said, "Get out of here." She ignored Zhou Qingfeng and strode away.
However, Zhou Qingfeng quickly stood up, stretched out his hand and shouted, "Sister Guo Jiao, wait."
Guo Jiao didn't stop, but 'Flat Hair' flew up and landed on Zhou Qingfeng's shoulder. It asked, "Boy, hand over your money. I know you have money on you, and I can smell good treasure on you. Hurry up and give it to Miss. "
"Flat Hair, you owe me the money first. I'll give it to you later." Zhou Qingfeng said perfunctorily, then caught up with Guo Jiao and shouted, "Sister Guo Jiao, can you do me a favor? How can I ask your father to save my master? "
Hearing this, Guo Jiao snorted again. She stopped and looked at Zhou Qingfeng unhappily. "Boy, you're really asking for a mile after being given an inch. I wasn't helping you just now. It's just that I don't have a good impression of the officials in this city. You're really thick-skinned to come and take advantage of me. If you come and bother me again, do you believe that I won't throw you to Li Yongfang in the House of Thousand Households? That idiot is looking for you everywhere now. "
After saying this, Guo Jiao started walking again, but Zhou Qingfeng blocked in front of her and said, "Sister Guo Jiao, I … Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Haha … Just you?" Guo Jiao laughed coldly. With a flash, she passed by Zhou Qingfeng and walked to the front.
'Flat Hair' flew to Zhou Qingfeng's shoulder and said, "Give me money, give me money, just give me money. Miss' Merry Forest is about to close down. If you give me money, consider it a favor. "
Zhou Qingfeng scratched his head and asked, "How much money do you need?"
"Give me five thousand taels first," 'Flat Hair' said.
"That much?" Zhou Qingfeng immediately said with a bitter face, "I don't have that much money."
"You want to help when you don't have money? I understand, you're here to take advantage of us. Get lost, get lost. You're not allowed to take advantage of our Miss. " 'Flat Hair' flew up and chased after Guo Jiao, threatening, "Don't chase after me, or I'll peck you."
Zhou Qingfeng could only shout from behind, "Wait … Why do you need money?"
Guo Jiao and her servant didn't stop, completely ignoring him.
Zhou Qingfeng shouted again, "I can help you make money, make a lot of money!"
Guo Jiao and her servant still ignored him.
Zhou Qingfeng finally panicked and shouted, "I even dared to steal Li Yongfang's goods, I even dared to steal Nurhachi's money. Not only do I dare to think about it, I also dare to do it. I really can help you make money. "
