Strange love across time and space
Chapter 159 Stealing a horse and returning to the capital
Zhong Yi had already guessed this from the content of the letter, so he was not surprised when Phantom said it at this moment. He poured himself and Phantom each a glass of water from the teapot on the table, and handed one of the glasses to Phantom. Phantom took the tea cup without drinking it and sat opposite Zhong Yi. Zhong Yi drank a glass of water and said angrily and worriedly, "I shouldn't have taken this job. I was blinded by money at the time. I came to me before." Anyone who copies notes will be given at most ten taels of silver. This guy called Musheng took out one hundred taels of silver and put it in front of me, but I couldn't resist the temptation. As a result, I almost died." After saying this, he read again. Looking at the phantom, he stood up and knelt down and said, "If the young master hadn't saved me today, I would probably be a corpse at this moment. If I died, my wife and young children would not know how to live. The young master saved me." My life is to save our whole family! Master, please accept my obeisance!" After saying that, he kowtowed heavily to Phantom. Phantom stood up and helped Zhong Yi up, and heard Zhong Yi ask, "I wonder who Master is? In the future, I can personally visit you to express my gratitude."
"My name is Phantom, and I am the bodyguard of Ning'an County Lord."
Zhong Yi was surprised when he heard that he was the bodyguard of Ning'an County Lord, and asked quickly, "But those letters brought trouble to Mr. Su and Ning'an County Lord?"
Phantom nodded, "The Emperor has asked the Criminal Department to imprison Mr. Su."
Zhong Yi was filled with regret. He hammered his head several times with his hand and said regretfully, "I was the one who harmed Mr. Su! I'm guilty!"
Then he opened his eyes wide and asked Phantom, "If I follow you to Beijing and explain everything to the emperor, will Mr. Su be fine? If you can really make up for your mistakes, I, Zhong, can live with your conscience!"
Phantom nodded, "To be honest, I came here just to ask Mr. Zhong to come with me to testify for my master. Unexpectedly, I just saved Mr. Zhong's life. Since Mr. Zhong also has this intention, it would be great. If Mr. If you feel your body is fine, let’s set off now!”
Zhong Yi nodded repeatedly. He was also afraid that if Ge Binghuai's people found out that he was not dead, they would harm him again, so he hurriedly packed up his simple baggage and followed Phantom out the door.
As soon as he went out, Phantom discovered something. He flew to Yuzhou. If he flew back with Zhong Yi, his identity would definitely be exposed, so now, he could only get two horses.
Zhong Yi followed Phantom to the entrance of the alley but found no transportation, so he asked doubtfully, "Didn't the young master come here on horseback?"
Phantom sighed deliberately, "Oh, I didn't expect the security in Yuzhou to be so bad. My horse was stolen."
Zhong Yi was shocked. There was a thief so bold in the middle of the night. However, he didn't have any horses at home. If he wanted to buy a horse, he would have to wait until early tomorrow morning.
Just when Zhong Yi was about to ask Phantom to stay at his house for the night and set off again at dawn, he heard Phantom say, "Please, Mr. Zhong, please wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon."
Without waiting for Zhong Yi to answer, he flew up to the roof and disappeared. Zhong Yi froze on the spot and said quietly, "The bodyguard of Ning'an County Lord is really amazing!"
Zhong Yi stood there and was thinking about how the Lord of Ning'an County would plead guilty. When he saw how the emperor used words, he heard the sound of horse hooves. When he got closer, he realized that it was the Phantom riding a horse, holding another hand with his other hand. When a horse arrived, Phantom dismounted and handed the reins to Zhong Yi. Zhong Yi took the reins and asked doubtfully.
"I wonder where the young master got these two horses?"
"I borrowed it from the Yuzhou government office. Hurry up and mount your horse!" Phantom replied nonchalantly. In fact, he went directly to the government stables and stole two horses.
Zhong Yi's mind was racing as he mounted his horse. Did the government borrow it? How does the government office know Phantom? Mr. Su is the governor of the cabinet, so it is normal for him to know officials from various places. Maybe it was because Phantom reported his family name that the government lent him the horse. Zhong Yi stopped thinking about it and followed the phantom on horseback towards the capital.
Phantom knew that he would not be able to reach the capital before dawn with Zhong Yi, and was afraid that Su Qing would be worried, so when he went to steal the horse, he released a vine leaf and flew to the Su Mansion in the capital to send a message to Su Qing.
Early the next morning, Su Qing woke up and found a vine leaf lying next to her pillow. Su Qing picked it up and looked at it, and saw two lines of small words written on the vine leaf: Yuzhou found the witness and is rushing back.
Su Qing smiled slightly, feeling warm in her heart. After a simple breakfast, Su Qing went to Jiang's yard. As soon as she walked in, she saw Jiang staring at the window in a daze. Su Qing went over and took her arm. Jiang turned around and saw Su Qing, sighing. He took a breath and said, "I don't know how your dad was doing last night."
Nanny Lin said distressedly at the side, "Miss, please help the old slave to persuade the madam. The madam didn't sleep much all night. She got up before dawn this morning, and she hasn't had breakfast yet."
After hearing what Nanny Lin said, Su Qing glanced at the untouched breakfast on the dining table, pulled Jiang to sit at the dining table, and winked at Nanny Lin. Nanny Lin asked all the maids serving in the room to wait. After retreating and waiting for the maids to leave, Su Qing whispered to Jiang.
"Mom, Phantom sent news last night that he found a witness in Yuzhou who could prove my father's innocence, and he is on his way back to the capital at the moment."
After hearing this, Jiang looked at Su Qing in shock, "How did Phantom find the witness?"
Su Qing shook his head, "My daughter doesn't know either, but she believes that the phantom will not lie to us. From Yuzhou to the capital, it can be reached in a day at a high speed. It is estimated that the phantom will be able to bring people back by the evening. Mom, you'd better have some food, otherwise , what will you do if your body collapses when dad comes back?"
Mrs. Jiang could only nod her head and picked up the chopsticks. Grandma Lin looked on and couldn't help but sigh. Ever since the young lady recovered from her fever, she has become much more considerate. Not only is she considerate of her family, she is also much smarter. Madam doesn't have to worry all day long. Miss.
As soon as Jiang finished breakfast, Linglong entered the room and saluted, "Madam, Miss, Miss Ding is here."
"Invite people to the front hall quickly!" Jiang ordered. As soon as Linglong left, Mrs. Jiang cleaned her hands and walked to the bronze mirror. While looking at it, she asked Su Qing
"Qingqing, how do you think my mother looks? Do you want to put on some rouge?"
Su Qing chuckled, "Mom, you really want to maintain your image in front of your future daughter-in-law!"
Jiang Shi glared at Su Qing, "You girl, you dare to make fun of me!"
Su Qing smiled and stepped forward to hold Jiang's arm, "Oh, no need to put on rouge! Mom looks good, let's go quickly, don't keep Xiangxiang waiting!"
"When your eldest brother and Dingxiang get married, you can no longer call me Xiangxiang, you have to call me sister-in-law!" Jiang said as she and Su Qing went out.
When they came to the front yard, they saw Ding Xiang's anxious expression as soon as they entered the door. When Jiang and Su Qing walked in, Ding Xiang immediately came to greet them.
