Chapter 104 
Wang Xiaoer escorted the prisoner over, said hello to the other two officers, and complained particularly unsatisfactoryly: "The people in this place are really good-looking. I almost starved to death when I came ashore. I was wearing official uniform and holding a The tokens don’t even work. If you look better, your life will be so smooth.”

He took a sip and couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "This place is so damn good!"

Even the two yamen servants who were sent to help were very handsome. In comparison, they looked miserable.

The other two officials also saw the "folk customs" of Tongzhou early, and they all shook their heads and gave a helpless smile.

Only then did the innkeeper realize that except for a few official servants, all the people inside were prisoners, and he secretly complained in his heart.

He got the instructions from the local government and did not dare to offend these officials, so he could only rush to arrange rooms for them. During this period, he also scared away many residents.

Wang Xiaoer only complained and hurried out the door. He happened to meet Ruan He and said hello: "Sister-in-law, please tell everyone."

He really didn't have time to wait and explain to everyone. The policemen from the yamen outside were still searching everywhere. He must not be lazy as an official, otherwise he would be embarrassed by the boss.

Ruan He nodded, knowing clearly in his heart that Wang Xiaoer was talking about the news in the market, and responded knowingly.

Wang Xiaoer came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Before anyone in the inn could pay attention, he was already gone.

The two officers were busy arranging the prisoners, and then returned to the inn lobby.

"Wang Xiaoer just said that he had something to notify. What is it?"

Ruan He simply repeated Wang Xiaoer's words again. After hearing this, the group of people nodded repeatedly and muttered: "Then don't go out for the time being, or you won't be able to tell if you are really caught and taken to the Yamen."

Mrs. Mu Tai agreed calmly, and warned several juniors around her: "Everyone listen to the boss. If you want to buy anything, let's discuss it and wait a few days before going out."

Everyone naturally nodded and said nothing more. They usually stayed in the inn and rarely went out. Although the two official servants did not restrict their family's freedom, they naturally had no objection at this moment.

But Mu Zhengbai was sitting in the corner, listening to Ruan He's words, his face suddenly turned gloomy and ugly, and he muttered dissatisfiedly: "I'm not even allowed to go out..."

Mu Yunxiao happened to hear this complaint, frowned slightly, and glanced at him coldly.

Mu Zhengbai shivered for no reason when his son glanced at him so coldly. He realized that he had been frightened, his expression became angry again, and he cursed a few times.

"I'm going to the hut."

He said something loudly on purpose, pretending to be natural, stood up, and strode outside.

No one cared what Mu Zhengbai was doing. Mu Yunxiao only stared at his back with a heavy gaze and then looked away.

"How are you enjoying your stroll outside, madam?" He looked at Ruan He who had just rested, his expression softened a little unconsciously, and he asked.

"It's okay, the county town is quite lively." Ruan He responded casually, while she was thinking about other things.

Ruan He also noticed Mu Zhengbai sneaking out and wondered if he would cause trouble again, right?
Thinking of the figure of Mu Qinghong passing by on the carriage he saw in the market today, Ruan He thought about it and mentioned it to Mu Yunxiao.

After hearing this, Mu Yunxiao said with a normal expression: "Nothing has happened, she is still a prisoner, just wait for the official to find her."

He is away from home all year round, and his relationship with the two sisters is average.

While they were talking, the officials had already started distributing the steamed buns.Under normal circumstances, Mu Zhengbai would have rushed over eagerly to beg for food. At this moment, the buns were almost finished and he was nowhere to be seen.

Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He looked at each other and vaguely guessed something.

Mu Zhengbai had been going to the latrine for so long, so he should have come back long ago.

In this case, there is only one explanation: Mu Zhengbai sneaked out on his own!
Mu Zhengbai was restless all day long, and he even sneaked out at this moment, not knowing what trouble he would cause.

The two of them thought of a place to go. Ruan He nodded briefly and said simply: "Let's go out and look for it."

The two officers were sitting in their seats eating steamed buns. When they turned around and saw these two people walking over, they asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"My father escaped and we were worried and wanted to go look for him."

"Go, go." The official was relieved of the couple and waved casually, letting them go out.

Before leaving, Ruan He borrowed a token from the official to prevent them from meeting a strange police officer on the street and being taken directly to the county government office.

The two of them took the tokens and went out without stopping.

As soon as he walked out of the inn, Ruan He stopped, glanced around, and then looked up at Mu Yunxiao, who was silent.

"Where do you think he will go?"

This Mu Zhengbai was totally indifferent to human affairs. If he wasn't afraid that he would cause trouble and bring harm to their family, Ruan He wouldn't want to care about him at all.

Now there is a new problem. In such a large county, it is not easy to find someone, and I don’t know where he will go.

Mu Yunxiao shook his head lightly. After discussion, the two decided to go to the busiest market first and come back if they couldn't find anyone.

Having made up their minds, the two of them headed directly to the busy market. Due to the sudden search warrant issued by the government, the number of pedestrians on the road became noticeably sparse.

Coming and going, the pedestrians strutting down the street are basically locals.

Compared to when Ruan He came out earlier, there were [-]% fewer vendors in the market.

Before they could look around, they heard Mu Zhengbai's greasy and artificial voice reciting poetry not far away.

The two of them followed the source of the sound and looked over. In the corner of the street, Mu Zhengbai was standing on a big stone with his chest held out.

He pretended to shake his head, as if he really felt that he was talented in literature, and he was reciting the poems of his predecessors word by word.

Around him, there were some idle passers-by standing there looking at it in boredom, and a lot of copper coins had been lost in the bowl in front of Mu Zhengbai.

Good guy, this Mu Zhengbai went out to do business alone and came here to perform.

Ruan He curled his lips and sneered helplessly, being amused by Mu Zhengbai.
