Xiaofulang's farming space

The weather was gloomy and snowflakes were falling. Tao Moxi had a typhoid fever from the cold wind for the past two days. Not to mention his stuffy nose, he still had some fever. However, there were too many things in the household department, so he couldn't ask for leave. It was a bad day, so he closed his mouth Put on the cloak, and walk out quickly.

Xiaoman and Xia Chenfei came out together and saw him, they hurriedly chased after him and said, "My lord, if you have time, go to Lingxiuzhuang to make a thick cotton coat."

Tao Moxi shook her head, "You asked my sister to make clothes for me again, it takes so much effort for a girl to make a suit, how can I?"

Xiaoman hurriedly said, "Xiaoxue went to the street a while ago and picked up a pair of poor little sisters in the snow, and hurriedly sent them to the hospital. They have recovered a few days ago, and they know some needlework. Xiaoxue knows that the weather is cold these days. Just find some ordinary fabrics and ask them to make cotton padded clothes. Although the fabrics are not the best, the cotton inside is very good, thin and warm. Brother Chuqing and the others gave them away. Xiaoxue misses the adults, and has already made them according to the figure of the adults. two sets"

Tao Moxi didn't care about the clothes but asked, "How did those two little girls pass out in the imperial capital?"

"According to the two of them, their family came from Gyeongju. For some reason, Gyeongju is so cold this year that the dripping water turns into ice. It's fine if the local officials don't issue carbon. What official carbon and silver are they collecting? And it's still January. As soon as they received it, their family was poor, so they had to sell them if they didn’t give them any money. They were forced to flee outside Jinzhou City. Their family lived outside the city for a period of time. Their parents couldn’t eat or sleep well, and fell ill. , the two girls went to the city to seek medical advice, because the road was unfamiliar, cold and hungry, they passed out on the side of the road."

"What happened to their parents?"

"After hearing this, Xiaoxue hurriedly took the money to ask the doctor, and took the couple to Lingxiu Village to recuperate. They took good care of them for a few days, and they were already able to get out of bed."

"Little snow, great kindness" Tao Moxi praised

"Xiaoxue is also because the couple can leave their hometown for their two daughters, and because they almost lost their lives in order to feed and clothe the two daughters. She was moved, so she helped their family."

"Then what is Xiaoxue's plan for their family?"

"Help their family through the difficulties and send them back to their hometown"

"When Qingzhou encountered such a disaster, it's fine if the officials didn't report it to the police. They actually searched for the people's fat and anointment. It's really abominable." Tao Moxi frowned.

"I should have said this earlier. It's just that I have been investigating the salt tax a while ago. There are so many things that I didn't have time. It's the fault of the lower officials."

Tao Moxi shook his head, "I'll go with you to see that family. If what they said is true, write down their statements, and then send someone to make an unannounced visit. After there is solid evidence, they will investigate and deal with corrupt officials."

"it is good"

"Then you can ride there with me," Tao Moxi said

The two got into the car, and Xiao Man reported the address of Lingxiu Village. The carriage started to move slowly. Tao Moxi felt dizzy and dizzy, and the car was also very stuffy. It's sad to open the car door and it's hot.

Xiaoman couldn't bear to see him sweating profusely, but he couldn't do anything out of the ordinary. He was just anxious in his heart and comforted Tao Moxi with his mouth. Fortunately, the journey was not long and they would arrive soon.

Tao Moxi leaned against the wall of the carriage with her eyes closed. The road was bumpy. After walking for a while, Xiaoman felt that something was wrong. First, the blue brick road in the imperial capital could not be so bumpy. I can't go for a quarter of an hour and I haven't arrived yet

He hurried forward without any scruples, shook the sleepy Tao Moxi's shoulders and said in a low voice: "My lord, wake up, my lord"

Tao Moxi slowly opened her eyes and said in surprise, "Haven't you arrived yet?"

"It's not right, my lord, I'm afraid we have already left the city, you can experience this road"

Tao Moxi immediately reacted and frowned and said, "I saw it when I got in the car, and it was indeed my servant driving the car."

"I don't know what kind of trick they used, the most urgent thing is that we have to run away"

"Tao Moxi nodded." They dare not do anything in and around the city, but it's not necessarily the case outside this range

Xiaoman went to the door of the carriage and tugged hard, but it was locked.

The Tao family's carriage was spacious, and the windows were not too small. Tao Moxi took out the sharp dagger that Wei Qi gave him from his sleeve, Xiao Man took it, and gently opened the sealed window.

The cold wind came in, and both of them shivered involuntarily, "Master Tao, the driver seems to be unprepared for us, get out of the car first, try not to make any noise, and hide by the side of the road. I will make a sound to attract him, and wait for the carriage to leave." If you are far away, you run back." "What about you?" Tao Moxi worried

"When they are defenseless, I will get out of the car and hide it. When the carriage is far away, I will also run back. They think that we are all scholars and have no power to restrain the chicken, so it is convenient for us to escape." Before Tao Moxi could react, he pushed him to the window, "My lord, the cloak is in the way, take it off." Then he untied his clothes, took off the padded robe and put it on Tao Moxi without any explanation, "The road is cold, my lord, don't dislike the villain's clothes, keep them keep warm"

Tao Moxi didn't dare to speak loudly, as it would be too time-consuming to refuse, so she nodded, Xiaoman helped him to the window frame, nodded, mouthed "Be careful" and jumped out of the car window, one rolled to the ground, because these few It was snowing one after another, the road was thick with blood, coupled with the sound of rolling cars and wind, the driver really didn't notice that there was one person missing in the carriage.

Tao Moxi rolled into the ditch by the side of the road. Seeing the carriage go far away, she hurriedly stood up and ran back and forth. This place was not far from the city gate but not close either. Tao Moxi ran into the city with all her strength.

The only ones who want to harm him are the Huainan King's people. A while ago, the Huainan King lost several loyal officials because of the salt tax. It is possible to get rid of him, because Tao Moxi is full of heart because he has caused Xiaoman to suffer. guilt.

Seeing Tao Moxi escape safely, Xiaoman let go of his heart, cleared his throat lightly, and said loudly, "My lord, the weather is bad today. The carriage hasn't arrived after walking for so long. If you feel uncomfortable, just lean on and rest for a while."

After finishing speaking, he softened his voice and said, "I'm afraid there are too many blocks on the road, I will wait a while, and call me when I arrive"

When the driver heard the conversation in the carriage, he snorted coldly and said in his heart that he didn't know that death was imminent, and he was still in the mood to sleep.

After finishing the conversation, Xiaoman opened the carriage, and just about to jump, the car creaked and stopped, Xiaoman's heart trembled, and he sat back in the carriage nervously, there was a sound of unlocking the door outside the carriage, and the person was blindfolded by the door being opened. On the other side, he couldn't see his face. Seeing that he was the only one in the car, the man immediately felt something was wrong. He stepped forward and pulled Xiao Man down and asked, "Where is Tao Moxi?"

"Master Tao escaped before leaving the city, and he brought people to arrest you, why don't you run away quickly?"

"You brat, spoil my good deeds" That person was indeed sent by King Huainan to get rid of Tao Moxi, but it's hard to get rid of the clues left in the city, so he thought of this method and asked Tao Moxi to be robbed outside to find a way Kill him, throw the body on any hill, and then say that Tao Moxi was killed by bandits when he went out to inspect the city, and wash away his suspicions.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to let too many people know about it, so the King of Huainan sent his disciples with good martial arts skills and trustworthiness to handle this matter.

The man managed to drive the car out of the city, and found a suitable place to throw the body. When he saw that there was only one unimportant person left in the car, he became very angry, and he raised his knife and chopped it down.

Xiao Man exerted the greatest strength and courage in his life, saw the knife slashing towards him and didn't dodge, and actually slammed into him. The man didn't check for a while, but he was really bumped by Xiao Man. Xiao Man didn't dare to stop, and fled in embarrassment.

That man also had some skills, and when he was bumped by a scholar, his anger became more intense, and he chased after him with a knife in his hand.

Xiaoman panicked and didn't choose the road, and he was not very familiar with the roads outside the imperial capital, so he ran into a fork in the road without knowing it.

Tao Moxi ran to the city gate, panting, grabbed a soldier guarding the city gate, took out his badge and said, "I am Tao Moxi, Minister of the Household Department, and my subordinate Xia Xiaoman was taken out of the city by traitors. Now I am free, but Xia Xiaoman It’s still in their hands, send troops to rescue immediately.”

Without his pocket card, the soldiers at the city gate also recognized the Minister of the Household Department who often went out of the city to check the people's conditions. When they heard the call for help, they immediately sent someone to report it. chase after.

After Wei Qi returned to the city, the emperor wanted to use him to check and balance the distribution of Jinzhou's military power. Although the patrol camp in the city was under the control of Huainan King, the troops stationed in Jinzhou to guard the city were those who had fought with Wei Qi and returned to their hometowns. Those people who are stationed outside the city are still in charge of Wei Qi, and the soldiers guarding the gate are Wei Qi's people.

Hubu Shangshu was kidnapped, this matter is so important, and everyone knows the agreement between the two, so naturally they dare not be perfunctory, this matter will be reported to Wei Qi soon, Wei Qi, who was warming up in the tent and chatting with his subordinates, heard about it , stood up immediately, and personally led a team of people to the place where the accident happened.

Tao Moxi borrowed a horse, and fell behind the small group of people and chased after him.

It was getting dark very quickly in winter. When they went down, the sun was about to set. After a while, it was already very dark. Fortunately, the Wei Qi people were prepared and searched with torches.

He had already found the carriage, and there was Tao Moxi's cloak in the carriage, but he didn't know where he went. Tao Moxi walked around the carriage again and again, almost drowning him in self-blame and regret.

Wei Qi took off his big cloak and covered him from head to toe, "I'm already sick, and I don't take care of myself"

"Nothing will happen to Xiaoman, right?" Tao Moxi asked hastily, as if to drive away the uneasiness in her heart, "I have followed the footprints to chase them. I don't know why, but the footprints show that they went up the mountain."

"It's very dangerous to go up the mountain in this weather. If Xiaoman is caught and killed, we won't even be able to find the body."

Wei Qi hurriedly comforted him: "You guys are not very far out of the city. Judging from where the carriage is parked here, they left for less than a stick of incense. If Xiaoman runs faster, there is a possibility of escape in this mountain road."

After running for a while, Xiaoman realized that he was not going back to the city, but up the mountain road, and his head suddenly became dizzy. Fortunately, the mountain road was covered with snow, and there were stones and trees blocking him from time to time, so he was able to escape in danger.

The weather is getting darker and darker. Although the snow has stopped, the stars and the moon have not come out, only the snow on the ground is slightly reflective. Xiaoman's physical strength is good. This is due to his previous life, he often went out to work and worked in the field.

It's just that he is a scholar, no matter what he can't compare to a warrior, his legs are weak, his feet are caught on the vines, and his face is covered with snow.
