Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 682 Chapter 680 One: Two Brothers Xiong
"Yeah, what a coincidence." Song Qiu replied with a smile, "Are you guys on your way so early?"

The big man slowed down when he caught up with the carriage, and walked beside the carriage, "Yes! We are going to Shouzhou Mansion, and there is still a long way to go!"

Going to Shouzhou Prefecture?

That can still go their way.

Song Qiu actually couldn't tell which of the two big men was the one he met first, but this should be the way the big man greeted her.

And the other has a cold face, only looking at the road ahead without squinting, as if a bit fierce.

Song Qiu reckoned that he was the one who kept shouting "Where's my elbow?" yesterday.

Along the way, there were two more big men accompanying the carriage, and the two big men looked exactly the same, which was quite eye-catching.

Everyone who meets has to pay attention frequently. Today is a cloudy day, and it is quite cold to sit outside. Ah Ling changed Song Qiu out after driving for a while. Song Qiu was stared at again and again. , I can't help but blush even if I have a thick skin.

There are so many passers-by on this official road.

It was nearly forty miles from Dajiangji to the next town. They set off early and took a rest on the way. It was noon when they entered Dongxiang Town.

When I went back to Dongxiang Town last time, it was quite peaceful here, but this time I was going to enter the town, it was already noon, and there was still a queue.

The main thing is that everyone came by the official road. When they arrived at Dongxiang Town, they didn't go in to have a lunch and rest, but continued to move forward. It would be mid-afternoon before they could have a rest.

There are too many people who want to enter the town, and there is an interrogation at the gate of the town, so the speed of entering the town will naturally lag behind.

Song Qiu and the others lined up far behind, and there was still a long line ahead, and it would take at least two quarters of an hour when it was their turn.

Ah Ling touched her hungry stomach. There were two sweet potatoes left in the morning, and she didn't care about the cold now. She asked other people not to eat them. She stuffed two or three into her mouth and drank two mouthfuls of water , The water is also cold, this time, it is full of cold air, but it can't match the anger in my heart.

She put down the kettle, patted her buttocks and jumped out of the carriage, "I'll go up and ask."

With that said, he went to the front of the line.

Song Qiu poked his neck and looked forward, and when he turned around, he saw Xiong Er standing beside him. He was startled, "I'm going to the town to check, I guess I'll have to wait for a while, are you hungry?"

Xiong Er was the one talking to her, he was the younger brother, he looked quite simple, not as cold as his brother, and the two happened to be named Xiong, so Song Qiu called him Xiong Er in his heart.

Xiong Er has a big appetite, she saw it when he was at the inn in the morning, when he stopped to rest, he ate most of the snacks they brought.

It was already noon, and she was hungry, so Xiong Er must be hungry too.

Xiong Er scratched his head, but said: "I just came to say goodbye to you. We are in a hurry and can't delay here. Since we can't get in for a while, we will leave first. See you again, girl."

Song Qiu looked at the long queue, understood, nodded and said, "That's fine, I wish you all the best of luck."

Xiong Er nodded, turned around and mounted his horse, and rode away with Xiong Da.

After they walked for a while, Ah Ling came back at a trot, looked around and saw no one, and asked Song Qiu, "Where are the two brothers?"

"Just left, what's going on ahead?"

"Going away?" Ah Ling stared, "This is really a chicken thief."

After saying that, he got into the carriage and said to Song Qiu in a low voice: "There is a notice on the front posting a reward, and the officer's interrogation is also to arrest people. I read the notice, and it is the two brothers who are wanted!"

Song Qiu was startled, no wonder, Xiong Er has such a big appetite, he can't wait for the meal, he has to rush on his way, this rush, to eat, it will take half afternoon, this is also hungry.

But it turned out that he knew that the front was investigating them, so he ran away quickly.

"Why are you arresting them?" Song Qiu was curious.

She doesn't comment on Xiong Da, but Xiong Er looks like he doesn't look like a villain.

A Ling said gossipingly: "It's written in the notice that these two brothers are gangsters, killing people like hemp, and offering a reward of 1000 taels of silver to catch them!"

Li Hua murmured from the side, "Are Jiangyang thieves? They lived in the inn and walked with us all the way, and they didn't kill anyone! But there is a reward of 1000 taels, so if we expose them, we can get 1000 taels of silver?"

A Ling glanced at her, "Is 1000 taels a lot?"

Lihua shook her head. She must have thought it was quite a lot before, but now she has seen people with thousands of taels of silver, so she is not so ignorant.

Song Qiu thought for a while, and said, "We won't have our turn for a while, so why not continue on our way, and when we reach the village later, go in and buy something to eat."

Ah Ling said: "Then you guys walk slowly first, I'll go in and buy some food, and I'll catch up later."

"Can you turn it in?" Song Qiu asked.

Ah Ling nodded, "The upper wall is not high, I just jumped in."

"Then be careful." Song Qiu said something, and then touched an ingot of broken silver for her.

When Ah Ling left with the kettle, Song Qiu turned the car around, left the queue, and headed back to the official road.

After walking slowly on the official road for about a quarter of an hour, Ah Ling caught up and landed on the car seat, and Song Qiu could smell the fragrance.

"Bought roast chicken?" She looked surprised.

"It happened that there was a roast chicken shop not far from here, and there was a steamed bun shop next to it. I bought some." Ah Ling shared the things he brought back with everyone, and bought hot water for the kettle at the tea stand.

The group stopped, ate roast chicken and steamed buns in the woods by the roadside, took a rest, and continued on their way.

That night, I rested in a small town. There was also a wanted notice for the two Xiong brothers in the small town. Song Qiu saw it in person, and said that the two brothers stole the wealth of a big family in Lizhou Prefecture, and even killed the whole family. The crime was heinous. , the kind that will be sentenced to death if caught.

Song Qiu sighed, he couldn't believe that the simple-minded Xiong Er would do such a thing.

But I was glad in my heart that before being found out, I didn't continue to walk with the brothers, otherwise I couldn't tell clearly, the government might arrest them as accomplices, in that case, even if I finally figured it out, but this time After a delay, she couldn't make it home before the Chinese New Year.

But Song Qiu never expected that he would meet the second brother Xiong again.

Stayed in the small town for one night and got up early on the second day to continue on the road. When I stopped to rest for a while, in the opposite woods, someone also stopped to rest.

Song Qiu took a look, it was the second brother Xiong.

Ah Ling's hand is already on his waist, if the momentum is wrong, he is ready to strike at any time.

Xiong Er also saw Song Qiu and smiled, but probably knew that Song Qiu must have known about their being wanted, so he hesitated, and instead of coming to say hello, he and Xiong Da got on their horses and left this place.

Seeing the two leave, Ah Ling put down his hand.

As long as the other party doesn't hurt them, Ah Ling will not meddle in arresting people to receive rewards. When she followed her master into the rivers and lakes, she saw a lot of officials corrupting, taking bribes and oppressing the people. All of them are good things, at least half of them are not.

Who knows if the story of the two brothers is true or not.
