Chapter 40: Both ends
When the dusk gradually rose, the Yicheng dragged his tired body back to the room. The nervous and uneasy post hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked: "Sir, what's going on? The things we provide are the best... Why did you get diarrhea after eating?"
The official secretary waved his hand. Since receiving this group of wealthy people, he sent away many people who stayed in the room. He easily collapsed completely in the past half day, saying, "It's not our reason." He said the other party's Qi Niang's words.
The postman was also stunned: "How is that possible! First, we did not let them go into the backyard, second, we asked the prince to have many guards. How could this group of thin scholars, old and young, poison them?"
The Yicheng sat on the chair and touched his chin, saying, "It's not impossible... The prince's trip is numerous, and there are probably experts in the group of candidates in Chang'an Mansion."
This is indeed possible. Most of the people who can participate in the gentleman exam are rich children. It is normal for the family to send a master to escort after walking so far. The postman nodded with a complicated expression. When he recalled the group of people he saw yesterday, he really couldn't tell which one was a master or did not appear to hide around him? But...
"Sir, if it was theirs, wouldn't it mean they knew we were lying to them?" The postman said uneasy when he thought of a question, "but they said nothing, and did not make trouble with us..."
Of course, Yicheng thought of this, thinking that he was complacent and fooled these candidates in the morning, but in the end he was just a clown in the eyes of others... He sighed and raised his sleeves to cover his face: "That's because they know that we are being coerced and helpless, and they disdained and embarrassed us. It's a gentleman's way."
Is it a gentleman's way? But it seems that it is not very gentleman to give laxatives to others. The postman thought to himself, among the candidates... it is really surprising.
At this time, the twilight was deep, and the group of candidates were walking on the road. The convoy casted a long shadow. There was no village station ahead today. Everyone took advantage of the night before it was falling and waited for the darkness to sleep in the wild.
I probably can't walk much, and I'm tired from taking the bus. Many people get down to walk, chatting and joking in groups, with a bit of leisure.
Xue Qing was also among them, following Liu Chunyang and Guo Zi'an not far away. This is also what everyone is used to. Lin Xiucai, who was walking in front, suddenly waved to Xue Qing, and Xue Qing walked forward a few steps.
Lin Xiucai said with some dissatisfaction: "You know that the postmaster deceived us, why didn't he say that?"
After leaving Fankou Inn, Xue Qing did not stop Pang An anymore. Pang An told Mr. Qingxia about this and it spread. Of course, this made everyone very angry. It would be fine if there was no room, but having a room for beasts to live in the wild was a naked humiliation... Many candidates were angry and wanted to go back to settle the score with the postmaster.
Of course, Mr. Qingxia stopped it and said, "Don't be idle, then the postmaster must be helpless... So what if you quarrel, do you have to stay at Fankou Post Station for one night to make up for it? ... It's important to hurry up."
It is important to hurry up, and they really don’t have time to go back and argue. This is why Xue Qing didn’t stop Pang An at this time, and let everyone know that he would not praise the official secretary in the future. It is their gentlemanly style, but he is not stupid enough to help count the money after being sold.
Hearing Lin Xiucai’s questioning, Xue Qing said: “It’s going to start arguing after saying that. It’s not good. Moreover, the other party has a lot of people. If there is a conflict, we will suffer a loss…”
These young people are extremely arrogant at home every day, calling for the boy's chivalrous spirit, and becoming honest when they go out. Lin Xiucai shook his head and was too lazy to talk to him anymore and waved his hand away.
Xue Qing didn't care. When he turned around, he saw Liu Chunyang and Guo Zi'an looking at her with strange expressions. He probably guessed what they were thinking and said, "I didn't tell a lie. I really wanted to fight at that time. We would suffer a loss if we were not in enough manpower."
She can't beat dozens of them alone. Although she can do it, there is no need... and no one pays it.
Liu Chunyang hesitated and said, "It seems nothing is wrong there..." This is what he has been worried about after leaving for a day. Xue Qing has not returned for a night. What did he do? Why is there nothing unusual in the inn? At least they were calm when they left.
Xue Qing said: "They don't want to meet us, so they set off late and had dinner late. We were all gone by then, and if there is anything, it has nothing to do with us."
When Liu Chunyang was not present, he understood that the only place was the bad luck. He couldn't help but smile with gloating and hurriedly stopped it.
Guo Zi'an, who has always rarely spoken, said: "But you will doubt us."
Xue Qing said, "Is it a false accusation of others without any evidence? This is a villain who is despicable, and it really goes against the way of a gentleman."
......
......
"Since I think it was done by those candidates, Prince Suo wants to chase him?" said the postman uneasy.
Yicheng rubbed his chubby face and shook his head and said, "No, they won't chase after him, so let it go."
After giving up, the postman looked surprised. Thinking of the scene where the feces and urine flowed at the post at noon, the stench has not yet dissipated. It would be fine if he suffers such a big loss? That's the Prince of Xiliang. It's just that the two countries are slapped on the table and the weather has changed.
The Yicheng originally thought so, and things were going to make a big deal, and Suo Shengxuan was going to slap the table at that time, but that maid... no, to be precise, that Qi Niang stopped it.
"We will go privately to have a quarrel with such villains. If we lose our status, we will not be in a hurry."
"So forget it?" said the postman, "they want to stay here for an extra day before they set off?"
Yicheng said: "More than one day, I'll see it for two or three days... Who knows if the effect of the medicine has passed and it's so rapid." Other laxatives at least gave the opportunity to run to the toilet. This was a breeze and sunny moment before, and the next moment it was stormy and stormy, and I pulled my pants straight... What if I were walking halfway? Thinking of the scene at that time, Yicheng couldn't help but grin... I was so scared that I couldn't laugh at it at that time, but now I calmed down and thought it was really... funny.
The postman couldn't help but grin and said, "Yes, this laxative is really powerful. I think it's just a diarrhea. After the laxative, people are very energetic, and it's very strange." What's even more strange is why a group of candidates who participated in the gentleman exam brought laxatives with them? This kind of medicine is not gentleman enough.
Someone was leaning outside and shouting to the master: "Young Master Suo asked where to buy fresh ingredients and would send someone to buy them."
