Chapter 121: Master Zhen enters Beijing

On May 19th, the sun was a bit scorching. The tall trees planted on both sides of the official road provided shade for passing pedestrians, but the leaves were greasy and listless.
On the official road, a neatly dressed woman walked forward numbly.
Suddenly she tripped over a stone, and her body staggered and almost fell, but she didn't stop for a moment, and she continued to walk forward.
There was only one thought in the woman's mind: Today she can find Master Qingtian to avenge Niuniu, she wants to clean up a little bit, and not shame Niuniu in front of Master Qingtian.
Her Niuniu is still buried in someone’s garden
Thinking of this, the woman moistened the corners of her eyes, raised her head and tried her best not to let the tears flow down.
A Fei, who was standing far behind the woman, felt a little blocky.
A mother who has lost a child is always sympathetic.
A Fei walked to the place where Xiu Niangzi almost stumbled, touched the stone with her toe, and kicked the stone into the trench on the side of the road.
The inn was far past. A Fei didn't know how long the woman had to go, but he didn't care. It was enough for him to complete the girl's mission and get the money.
His task is to follow the woman and meet Lao Qin smoothly on this day.
The woman finally stopped leaving, and stopped at a half-person-high boulder on the side of the road.
This is where Niuniu asked her to wait.
Listen to what Niuniu said.
The woman leaned on the warm big stone, and the teardrops fell.
A Fei couldn't get too close, so he chose a big tree to lean on to rest.
Fortunately, pedestrians sometimes stop to rest, he is not eye-catching.
The sun quickly crossed the highest sky and gradually moved westward.
The woman looked ahead, her expression anxious.
Why hasn't the Master Qingtian arrived yet?
Finally a group of people came in front of him. The middle-aged man at the head was riding a donkey with a yellowish complexion and long beards, followed by a few people.
A Fei didn't pay much attention, but he suddenly saw Lao Qin following behind.
Lao Qin wears a hat on his head, which makes it hard to see his appearance, but A Fei knew about Lao Qin's dress, not to mention that when Lao Qin saw A Fei, he lifted the hat, revealing his weather-beaten face.
A Fei hurriedly looked at the middle-aged man riding a donkey.
This is the person Xiu Lady wants to meet?
Lady Xiu didn't know the elder Qingtian, but she remembered her daughter's advice: that elder came to Beijing on a donkey.
Seeing this group of people, Lady Xiu stared straight at the person on the donkey.
At this moment, the person walking on the side of the donkey asked, "My lord, do you want to stop and rest?"
The middle-aged man on the donkey shook his head: "No need, wait until the station to rest."
This is the person she is looking for!
Lady Xiu's eyes lit up and flew towards her: "My lord, the ladies are wronged--"
The person following the donkey immediately showed his saber and shouted sharply: "Where is the wild woman!"
Lady Xiu knelt down in front of the donkey, and banged her head: "The ladies are wronged, I beg Master Qingtian to be the master, Master Qingtian is the master!"
The person with the saber is going to chase people away, and the middle-aged man on the donkey said lightly: "Don't be rude."
He said, turning over from the donkey, and said to Xiu Niangzi and Yan Yue: "Sister-in-law, go over there and talk about it."
The group of people walked under the big tree, and the middle-aged man stood with his hands on his back: "Sister-in-law stopped halfway, why is this?"
Lady Xiu wanted to kneel, but was stopped by the middle-aged man: "Sister-in-law, let's talk like this. People come and go, kneeling to attract attention."
"Yes." Xiu lady was trembling with excitement.
Niuniu is right, there is really a great master in the sky riding a donkey passing here, Niuniu's revenge can be reported!
"Why did my sister-in-law call me Master Qingtian?" the middle-aged man asked calmly.
This woman appeared too strange. He was transferred to Shuntian Fu Yin. He stopped and went along the way and did not reveal his identity. How did she know and wait here?
Could it be that this woman was delirious and happened to be right?
Ko Xiu's proper dress made the middle-aged man dispel this guess.
"You are Master Qingtian Zhen!"
The middle-aged man was shocked: "How did the elder sister know?"
"Niu Niu told the local women that Niuniu is the local women's daughter."
The middle-aged man became more and more weird: "I don't know where the sister-in-law's daughter is now, why would I know that the official passed by here?"
The woman even knew his surname, so she came here prepared.
Based on experience, the woman should have great grievances to state.
The middle-aged man was mentally prepared, but the woman's next words surprised him.
Xiu Niangzi's tears fell: "Niu Niu is now buried in someone else's garden, she told me in a dream!"
"What?" This answer was too bizarre, and the middle-aged man was taken aback for a while.
Several subordinates also had incredible expressions.
Is this woman a lunatic?
"You crazy lady, how dare you run to our adults and talk gibberish, and you don't want to leave quickly!"
Lady Xiu has long forgotten what she is afraid of, but she took a step forward: "Master Qingtian, the lady dare not lie to you, let alone curse her own daughter. My Niuniu was killed by someone, and I have never been able to find her. , Until that night she gave me a dream—"
"Sister-in-law, don't be anxious, tell me in detail." The middle-aged man glared at his subordinates, warmly relieved.
Lady Xiu wiped a tear and talked about the ins and outs of the matter.
The middle-aged man listened silently until Lady Xiu finished speaking, but did not express his opinion for a while.
Seeing panic, Lady Xiu immediately knelt down to the middle-aged man: "My lord, if there is a half-word, my daughter will be struck by lightning. My daughter was really harmed by the son of Changxing Hou. Under the peony flowers in the garden of their mansion. Send someone to take a look, and you will know that the women are not talking nonsense..."
"You woman really don't know what to say. With a few gibberish you want us adults to dig the back garden of the Hou Mansion?"
"My lord, I beg you, you are the only one who can help the women—"
The middle-aged man felt his beard and pondered for a moment, and ordered his subordinates: "Go to the front post and hire a carriage."
The subordinates left, and the middle-aged man said mildly: "Well, sister-in-law, you will go to Beijing with the official first, and the official will check carefully. If what you say is true, you will be given justice."
"Thank you, Master Qingtian!"
The subordinates were quick on foot, and soon got a carriage from the post. The middle-aged man asked the lady Xiu to get on the carriage. The group did not stop at the post and went straight to the capital.
What the middle-aged men didn't know was that not long after they passed by the post, the brother of Emperor Jingming's favorite concubine Yang Fei died suddenly at the post, and they just avoided the trouble.
A Fei continued to follow the group, but Old Qin went back to report to Jiang.
Hearing Master Zhen had taken away Lady Xiu, Jiang Si felt relieved.
Old Qin said something that surprised her: "Girl, that Master Zhen is the county lieutenant of Lingwu Temple."
