The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 387 Framed
It was already evening. Zhao Xu and Qin Rou'er stayed in the yard all day without going out, and Qin Rou'er had already decided to wear men's clothing on the road in the future.

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have stayed in this room all day and couldn't go out. What's more serious was that there were many people standing at the door of the inn waiting to see them.

Zhao Xu finally asked the shopkeeper and realized that there used to be a beautiful woman in Luzhou City, who shocked the whole city with her looks.

But in the end, he disappeared. Decades have passed, and now there is another woman who is not as good as that person, but she is very similar, which caused a sensation.

But when Zhao Xu asked who this woman was, no one could tell. This would be another puzzle.

"Hey, Rou'er, let's go when you change into men's clothing tomorrow. I wanted to stay a few days longer. Look who made you look so beautiful and caused people to attack you."

"Can you blame me? They haven't seen the world, and I'm not so narcissistic. I'm just an ordinary beauty. They haven't seen the world."

Although Qin Rou'er said this, she was really happy in her heart. Are you not happy that that woman has someone who appreciates you so much?
While the two were chatting vigorously, there was a sudden noise outside, as if a lot of people had come to the yard.

Both Zhao Xu and Qin Rou'er were puzzled, why they were still so noisy at this time, and what happened.

Soon their questions were resolved, and the shopkeeper of the inn personally came to explain to him, saying:

"This young master and miss, I'm really sorry for disturbing the two quiet villains, are you really sorry?"

What can Zhao Xu say to such a polite person? This is not the most important thing. Now he wants to know what happened most.

"Hehe, you don't need to be too polite, what happened, you can just tell me what's going on outside, what a mess?"

"The little old man came here to talk about this matter, because I don't know why a group of officials broke in and insisted on inspecting the small shop."

"Oh, by the way, they are officials from Luzhou Prefecture. They have never been asked to check this inn before, let alone come to the independent small courtyard here."

"After repeated inquiries from the little old man, these officials said that someone reported that a group of robbers settled here. I only have you two guests in my inner courtyard. There are no robbers, but I can't stop them from coming here to search. "

As soon as the old shopkeeper's voice fell, Zhao Xu heard someone shouting outside: "The people inside heard that we were ordered by the magistrate to come in and search for the robbers. Please cooperate and come and search for me."

Zhao Xu was puzzled, and everyone, didn't the two of us live here, and why did he yell at his room.

Zhao Xu's thoughts hadn't settled yet when the police from the yamen rushed in quickly. Without saying a word, they took a look at Zhao Xu and searched the house.

These policemen were even worse than bandits. The bandits turned over Zhao Xu's baggage, and even took out the chamber pot to have a look.

Zhao Xu wondered, how many people could be hidden here? These policemen didn't seem to be here to handle the case, as if they were here to disgust him.

What they searched here was a mess, and after a while, Zhao Xu's things were messed up.

But they still found nothing. Just as the leading policeman was frowning at the door, there was a sound of weapons clashing outside.

"Boss, there are suspicious people here, and there are weapons on their bodies, the brothers can hardly resist."

There was a burst of exclamation outside, it seemed that they really found some suspicious person and had already handed over.

The head of the fast catcher, when he heard the voice outside, drew out his knife without saying a word:

"Brothers, go and support the brothers outside." As he said that, he ran out first, and the few people behind followed his boss's order.

"Hey, where are the other people from my store? They have already checked the people in front. There are no other people here except the two. Why are there still people holding weapons now?"

At this time, the shopkeeper was crying and said in a crying voice that he didn't know how the robber appeared.

Zhao Xu and Qin Rou'er also didn't know what happened. Could it be that there were really robbers here as those police officers said.

So he and Qin Rou'er went outside to see what happened. There were really robbers here.

There were people fighting in the yard, four or five police officers surrounded six or seven people, and both sides were eyeing each other.

When Zhao Xu and Qin Rou'er came out, the bandits who were surrounded suddenly seemed to be in full swing, forcing the arresters to retreat in a row.

Just as Zhao Xu was considering whether to subdue these so-called robbers, those six or seven people had already jumped onto the high wall.

Before leaving, he threw something at Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu instinctively grabbed it in his hand.

Before Zhao Xu could react and see what it was, the man said:

"My brother, thank you for your report. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to make such a windfall. This is a reward for you. We will meet later."

After speaking, he jumped off the high wall and disappeared into the night. These police officers never thought of chasing them.

Instead, he looked directly at Zhao Xu and Qin Rou'er, with a happy expression on his face:
"Someone came and arrested them. Everyone heard what they said just now. These two people dared to have an affair with robbers. Robbing official money is really the worst evil. Look at what he is holding is dirty money."

Before Zhao Xu came and saw what was in his hand, he was snatched away. Under the light of the torch, Zhao Xu saw the words on it clearly;
"Official silver!"

Looking at the arresters who came again, they were all around him, and some of them were holding iron chains in their hands. It seemed that they were going to lock him up. At this moment, Zhao Xu understood that this was a trick for him.

Why didn't so many people come in just now, it happened to be when the so-called robbers left.

Besides, I couldn't tell that what I was holding was official silver just now, so how did I know that the headhunter was so far away, and I was still so sure.

They should have known it a long time ago. There is only one explanation for this, and that is that these are carefully designed and used by these people to frame themselves.

No wonder I felt that there was something wrong there. It turned out that I was framed by someone when I appeared here.
