Pang Miao leaned back against the door panel weakly, and heard Zhang Mu calling softly outside the door, but he was not in the mood to answer.Jinxiu was always by her side and could hear the conversation between the two of them, so she was able to guess about the matter, but at this moment she also opened her mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.

"Thank you." After a while, Pang Miao could only squeeze out three words.

Subtle voices sounded from the side courtyard, and he quickly trotted back to the small study, and just sat down under the window, he saw Ru Yi leading the maid beside him talking and laughing along the wall to the door, opened the courtyard door and walked straight to the door. out.

In the past two days, Ru Yi went to Mrs. Cao very diligently.

What Ru Yi has plans has nothing to do with him.Pang Miao frowned, thinking about how to get Tong Guanshi away before the officers and soldiers found out.

Judging from Scarface's reckless personality, it is even more difficult to pass through many checkpoints, avoid the pursuit of the government, and find a new hiding place.

How deep is the relationship between Guanshi Tong and them that he dares to risk his life and death to take care of this matter?

Pang Miao walked back and forth in the house three or four times, and took out some silver taels at the bottom of the box, and handed them to Jinxiu, "Go and tell Zhang Mu that you must find Guanshi Tong no matter what, and take him away, and don't talk to him again." Murderers mixed together."

Jinxiu tightly squeezed the purse containing the money, nodded vigorously, "I'll go right away."

Pang Miao watched Jinxiu trot out, and took a deep breath of fresh air to cheer himself up.

Life is always about being positive.

If you are in a hurry without a clue, you will only get confused and make mistakes in your busy schedule.

Zhang Mu got the order and went to work non-stop. He knew how serious the consequences would be if this matter was not handled properly and in time.

Pang Miao let go of the family rules, writing and meditating.Jinxiu looked at the silent young master, wanted to ask but didn't know how to ask, so she could only grind silently while watching the young master write.

"Master, I always feel that something is weird." She stared at the house rules that were copied slowly one by one, and frowned.

"Where?" Pang Miao was quite satisfied. The more you practice your calligraphy, the more artistic your writing will be.

"Yeah—" Jinxiu rubbed her chin, moved closer to the paper and looked at it carefully, "I remember that Miss's handwriting used to be that small...it looks very elegant."

"..." Pang Miao looked down at his handwriting. Although it was meaningful and elegant, it didn't seem to be from a woman's hand. I'm afraid Madam Cao or others could see the clues from it. He couldn't leave any danger of getting into trouble.Fortunately, I was fascinated by reading the book yesterday, and I didn't copy a few, so it's okay to start all over again now.

"Take it and burn it, and I'll write it again." He ordered, recalling his sister's handwriting, and practiced a few words on a piece of blank rice paper.Fortunately, he read and wrote with Pang Wenjun since he was a child. He can imitate eight///nine of my sister's handwriting, and it looks like it was written by a woman.

Pang Miao sighed helplessly, and at the end of the practice, he developed a beautiful hand in lower script, which made the group of friends laugh out loud when they found out.

Here Pang Miao relaxes and thinks about the problem with a peaceful mind.On the other side, Zhang Mu changed into his normal clothes, led his horse and headed south, turning southwest halfway.It was this change of direction that made him miss the opportunity to meet Tong Guanshi and others, because after Tong Guanshi discovered the checkpoint ahead, he immediately turned to the northeast and detoured, determined to break into the imperial capital.

On a sunny afternoon, the sun poured down on the ground unreservedly, dazzling brightly.There were very few pedestrians on the street, and the guards at the gate of the city were somewhat listless under the steam.

Since the current emperor ascended the throne, except for the occasional barbarian invasion in northern Xinjiang, the world has been peaceful, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. The imperial capital that has stood for hundreds of years is still the most dazzling center of the country despite wind and rain.The guards, who have never seen a bloodbath and a lot of swords and guns since they were born, have long lost their guard and vigilance. They lazily turn a blind eye to the passing pedestrians. Every half an hour or so, or which yamen Only when the officials pass by will they pretend to drag a person out of the crowd to check.

Guanshi Tong hid on a hillside far outside the city, peeping around for a long time before confirming the rules of the interrogation.

Behind him was a frightened middle-aged man with a murderous scar on his face.

"It's too late for you to regret it now." Although there was no one else around, Guanshi Tong lowered his voice and asked in a serious and serious tone.

"Huh." Scarface held his head up, his nostrils were about to turn upside down, "You have seen all the situations along the way, even if the fish dies and the net is broken, I think it is worth it! After you bring us to meet that person, we will never die again." I won't trouble you." As he spoke, he took out a worn-out small cloth bag from his pocket and waved it in front of Guanshi Tong, "I heard from your wife that she wants to move to the city when she gets older, and the money is enough You have bought a nice house in Xiping County."

Guanshi Tong's mind was not on money at all, he frowned and kept rubbing his hands, "Since you have to go, then I won't persuade you." He untied the last burden with a face of embarrassment, and threw it in front of Scarface , "Although no one has checked around the imperial capital, it is best to be cautious. These are the clothes I went out to buy last night, you can change them."

The middle-aged man tore away the burden, and inside were some dull clothes, rough wooden hairpins, cloudy jade bracelets, and some rouge and gouache.

The middle-aged man's hand stopped, and he didn't understand Tong Guanshi's meaning for a while.

Guanshi Tong glanced at the gate of the city, and when he turned his head, he saw the two companions still squatting there stupidly, and he was anxious: "Hurry up and change, Brother Lu."

Scarface pointed at himself, "You mean this dress is for me?"

"That's right!" Guanshi Tong shook off a sapphire blue coat, "Brother Lu's appearance is too conspicuous, this face must be covered, I think about it, no matter how good the guards at the gate are Interrogating an old lady, isn't it?"

The middle-aged man stroked his beard, "Brother Tong is absolutely right."

Scarface's eyes were wide open, and the eyeballs were about to protrude from the sockets. It was very hideous and frightening, "You want me to pretend to be a woman?!" His tone was as if he was being killed.

The suppressed atmosphere silently loosened. The middle-aged man thought of his companion's old lady's attire, covered his mouth and coughed repeatedly.

"Are you sick?" Scar looked at him, as if looking at a prey.

"No, no." The middle-aged man waved his hand, took the shirt from Guanshi Tong and gestured on Scarface's body, "It's about the same size, put it on quickly, or you'll have to wait for more than half an hour. "

Scarface was very unhappy, twisting his body to dodge to the side.

The middle-aged man persuaded patiently: "In front of major events, don't stick to trivial matters. If you delay like this, you may be caught before you even put on your clothes."

"After entering the city, you must take it off immediately." Scarface muttered, and the middle-aged man helped put on the dress worn by the old woman.

Guanshi Tong used to help his daughter-in-law comb her hair, so he skillfully recombed the hair on the scarred face, inserted the rough wooden hairpin, and spread rouge on his face, trying to make his dark skin look more rosy. When trying to put the jade bracelet on the wrist, I tried all kinds of methods, no matter whether it was hard plugging or pouring water on my hand and trying again, the jade bracelet just couldn't pass through the joint.On the contrary, Guan Tong was sweating profusely and was at a loss.

The middle-aged man had already helped Scarface change his clothes at this time, looked at Tong Guanshi who wiped his sweat, and reminded: "Actually, you don't have to wear a bracelet?"

Guanshi Tong's eyes lit up, and he slapped himself on the head, "I'm at the top of my head." He threw the jade bracelet back into the bag, picked up a black scarf, wrapped it around Scarface's head, and finally put it on the chin. Tie in a strong knot, the hood fits snugly against her cheek, just enough to hide the dark red scar around her left eye.

Scarface sullenly unfolded his sleeves, looked left and right, and finally gave up the idea of ​​looking for a mirror.

Then, Guanshi Tong took out a knife from under the messy pile of clothes, and waved to the middle-aged man, "I'll shave your beard for you. It makes a big difference whether this man has a beard or not."

In the past, when there was no disease or disaster, the beard was a well-groomed baby, but at the moment of life and death, it was not worth mentioning when compared with life, the middle-aged man obediently let Guanshi Tong help him shave it off beard.

Scarface looked at the strands of beard falling to the ground, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, old man, I almost didn't recognize you after you shaved your beard. You look at least 20 years younger now."

Lao Ding glanced at him, "It's too exaggerated."

"No exaggeration, no exaggeration." Scarface waved his hands, "Much better looking than me."

Lao Ding stroked his bare chin, feeling a burst of emotion in his heart.

Guanshi Tong quickly packed up his things, and took the lead to walk to the broken carriage down the hillside, "Lao Ding and I will pretend to be Brother Lu's son in a while, and you are all sitting in the carriage, and I will drive the carriage. The purpose is to find a doctor for my old lady who suffers from headaches. If the guards stop us, don’t panic, I will answer everything, but you have to listen carefully to what I say, brother Lu must not speak Just say a word and pretend to be sick. In case the guard interrogates you for a long time, Brother Lu will pretend to be sick."

Walking in front of the carriage, he looked back at his two companions seriously, "Do you have any objections to what I just said?"

"No, no." Scarface wished he could sneak into the city quickly, take off his women's clothes, and let Tong manage everything at this moment.

"Okay." Guanshi Tong nodded, and his gaze once again fell on the towering Imperial City Tower, "Let's set off immediately!"
