The Regent's Tender Darling

——Suzhou branch county.

At that time, the street was noisy and lively, and many shops were open. A man wearing a black gauze hat stopped in front of the steaming bun shop.

The man looked dusty, and the horse beside him was the best thousand-mile red-brown horse in the station.

The owner of the bun shop hurriedly put the tablecloth on his shoulder and asked with a smile: "Sir, what do you want?"

"Two meat buns, take them away." The man in the bamboo hat couldn't see his face clearly, but just from his voice, he thought he was a very impatient person.

The boss quickly opened the steamer, and the hot steam hit his face immediately. It was hot and fragrant. Because he had not eaten for a long time on the road, the man's stomach couldn't help but growl.

Two fat and white buns were put in paper bags and fell into the hands of the man. The man put them into the veil and took a few bites without caring about burning them.

One hand was rummaging for money in his arms, but he couldn't find any copper coins, so he had to give him some broken silver.

The owner of the bun shop paused for a moment, and when he was about to get the silver weighing instrument, the man said, "No need to look for it anymore. I want to ask, in which direction is the Sheriff's Office of Suzhou Branch County?"

"The Sheriff's Mansion?" The boss who was about to walk in stopped and pointed the way: "It's right in front, you can see it if you keep walking along this street. The two big lions are very conspicuous at the door. "

After saying that, the boss held up the money and raised his hand to the man again: "Thank you very much, sir."

The man obviously didn't have much time to waste here, so he jumped on his horse and walked forward neither fast nor slow.

The horse shuttled through the streets with people coming and going, and soon saw the two big stone lions that the bun shop owner mentioned, and the three gilded characters on the Menban plaque were even more conspicuous.

These days, I came to Suzhou at full speed and finally saw the county governor's mansion.

After stopping, he turned over and dismounted. The Sheriff's Mansion was heavily guarded. Immediately, a guard with a knife came over to him and said coldly: "Who is here?"

From this question, it is obvious that the Sheriff's Mansion is easy to talk to and will not drive you away indiscriminately as soon as someone comes.

The man bowed his hands and said, "I am from the capital, and I have a message to send to the regent. I would like to send it to you."

He said and took out a warrant.

As soon as he heard about the capital and the regent, the guard's attitude immediately softened a lot, but he still had no intention of taking the order. He only said: "It's a coincidence. The regent and my family went down the palace underground river and are not here now." "Fuzhong."

Naturally, there is no way to communicate this.

"Underground river?" The man hesitated for a moment, took back the warrant handed out in his hand, and asked tightly: "Do you know when the regent will come back?"

"Ouch!" The guard frowned and thought, then shook his head: "I don't know about that. It's been several days since we set off. I think it's too soon. Why don't you stay in Suzhou County and wait for two days? "

Wait two days? The man felt complicated for a moment, afraid that he could wait, but time waits for no one.

Now he had no other choice but to decide to stay in Suzhou and wait.

"Thank you." The man clasped his fists again, then mounted his horse and left.

The guard watched the man leave, and then continued to stand guard. A person next to him asked: "This man came in such a hurry, maybe there is something big going on."

"What can we do?" The guard spread his hands. Now that the regent and the county governor are in the underground river under the palace, he can't do anything even if he wants to spread the news.
