Jiaohua

Chapter 248
After noon, the weather became overcast, until towards evening, a very strong wind blew up.

The wind blew through the streets and alleys, shaking the few stalls along the street desperately, flying cloth, paper and pens all over the sky, and many tents on the street fell down, some businesses had to close early.

Throughout the day, the number of patrolling guards on the street continued to increase, and the bulletin boards were covered with portraits of girls. However, some people found that these patrolling guards seemed to be checking not only on this girl, but also on many gentleman-like literati and people from teahouses and restaurants. The storytellers were all taken away.

There are few people on the street, but people and horses come and go at the city gate.

Among them, a few big families went out of the city, with an entourage of three to four hundred people. Boxes full of money and goods were piled up on the carriage, protected by men riding tall horses.

The city gate officials had been checked in advance, but the inspection was still strict. Every box was rummaged and opened, and the gold, silver, jewelry and silk satin dazzled the eyes of passers-by.

There were also many people rushing to the city, one carriage after another.

A few female family members sat in the carriage, looked at the carriage passing by them, and shook their heads: "It's really stupid to go to the city now."

At the same time, some people were watching the convoy leaving the city from the carriage entering the city, and laughed at their companions: "Go out now, do they think there is a safe place outside?"

As night approached, the gates of the city were closed, and people going out and entering the city were blocked. Many people simply stayed where they were, waiting for the opening of the city tomorrow.

There were few stars in the sky, the evening wind was swift, and it was better outside the city. They gathered together to make a fire, and the people in the city were driven away all the time. Many people hid in the corners and did not dare to make any noise.

Batch after batch of patrolling guards came, some came to see girls, and some came to see grown men.

When they were about to be fast, another group of people came over and ran directly to the girls.

Many girls were already asleep and were forcibly picked up by their shoulders.

"No no no," a woman begged while hugging her child, "Officer, my baby is really not that evil boy!"

The man didn't care, he pinched the girl's chin and lifted it up.

The flesh was pulled in deep pain, and the girl opened her mouth and cried loudly.

"Take it away!" the man waved.

The man beside him snatched the girl away.

The woman was dumbfounded, and hurriedly hugged his leg: "Officer, what is this for, this is my baby!"

"Go away!" The guard who grabbed the girl kicked her away.

"Take it away!" Not far away, a guard was pointing at a girl, and then he reached out and grabbed another child. After looking at it, he was still innocent, and pushed it to the person behind him, "Take this one away too!"

"My lord, I can't! My sister did nothing wrong!" A girl screamed and rushed over, only to be pushed away.

Many people got up and looked around, seeing these girls being taken away, the surroundings were in chaos, and there was a lot of crying.

People outside the city just under the city wall could vaguely hear some movement.

A girl lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside, then turned her head and said to the woman beside her, "Miss, I don't know what happened inside."

The woman's face was covered with gauze, and her exposed eyes were peaceful and peaceful, reading a book by the candlelight in the carriage.

"It has nothing to do with us," the woman said.

The little girl nodded, then poked her head out to listen for a while.

"Miss, it seems to be grabbing a doll." The little girl said.

The woman paused slightly, raised her eyes and looked outside.

The night was pitch black, and there was no light outside.

"This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven," the woman said, "Why is it so messy here?"

"Well, we'll be entering the city tomorrow," the little girl looked back at her, "Miss, there's still time for us to leave now..."

"It's all here, let's not go." The woman withdrew her gaze and looked at the book in her hand.

The little girl nodded her head, her eyes involuntarily turned to the woman's veil again.

The veil is very thick, and the candlelight casts shadows, so the face under the veil is not real. Just looking at it like this, the eyes of the woman exposed outside are really beautiful. The eyelashes are long and the eyes are curved, reflecting the candlelight. It's like it has water in it.

"Miss, do you want to eat something, and there are some dry pancakes." The little girl said.

"No more." The woman replied.

"OK, all right."

"Are you sleepy?" The woman looked over, "If you are sleepy, you can lean over there and sleep for a while."

"Well, I'll go to bed when I'm sleepy later." The little girl smiled.

She was about to put down the car curtain, but before she put it down, she couldn't help but look outside again.

The crying continued, and kept ringing.

The little girl sighed: "It's really messy."

The car curtain fell, barely blocking the cries.

But the night was really not peaceful, maybe it was at the gate of Jingzhao City. The little girl had just fallen asleep when she was woken up by the sound of galloping horses' hooves outside. Within an hour, several groups of people came and went.

"It's just a city gate," the little girl said sleepily, rubbing her eyes, "There are so many people."

"Nowadays wars are raging everywhere, so there are a lot of news." The woman said lightly.

"Miss, are you still awake?" The little girl looked at her.

"Go to the city tomorrow and sleep in the best restaurant," the woman said, "If I don't sleep now, I don't want to wrong myself."

The little girl giggled, and said, "Then can I have the best meal tomorrow?"

"It depends on the shopkeeper's willingness to give it." The woman replied.

The little girl thought about it too, and said, "Yes, it would be nice to have something to eat."

She looked at the car curtain that was blown slightly by the wind, sighed softly, and turned over inside the car.

Another group of people came down the official road, and the guards at the city gate ran downstairs.

The leading officers and soldiers had just entered the city when a woman ran over crying.

"My lord, make the decision for us, my lord! My daughter was taken away! She is only 13 years old!"

"Go away!" Two city gate guards stepped forward and pushed her away with spears.

"My lord, my lord!"

"And my daughter was also taken away! We are all ordinary people, and we will not commit crimes!"

"My lord, make the decision for us!"

……

The others also ran over, crying loudly.

"What a noise!" The leading man pointed at the woman who ran first with his horsewhip, "Pull this person out and beat him to death!"

The woman was taken aback for a moment, and before she could panic in the future, several guards grabbed her arms.

Knowing that she was not joking, the woman hurriedly begged for mercy: "My lord, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, my lord!"

The tall guards dragged her outside. The woman was startled, jumping and jumping, struggling and twisting.

"Master Guan, I was wrong, I dare not, I must be honest! Please spare me!" the woman cried out sadly.

The others didn't dare to speak anymore, and watched timidly as the woman was taken away.

The leading man looked at those people coldly.

Just now, he rushed forward, crying and crying, but now, he dare not say a word.

A lowly person is a lowly temperament.

The man swung his whip and ran away on horseback.
