Chapter 63 Chasing the Fugitive
Seeing Lu Renjia coming, the middle-aged man immediately bent over and called "Dad".

This man is Lu Fucheng, the father of Lu Yuan, the eighth generation of Chinese medicine practitioners in Jishitang.

Lu Renjia was very happy to see his son come back, and asked for a while.

Lu Fucheng answered everything honestly, and in a blink of an eye, he found two children, Chu Yingying and Cui Yunhao, standing behind him, and asked curiously, "Who are they?"

Lu Yuan told him all the ins and outs of the matter, and after Lu Fucheng understood, he looked at them and nodded and said, "So it's like this, our Jishitang hasn't hired a guy for a long time, and it just so happens that Yuan'er has an extra partner to play with. "

"I met Uncle Lu." Cui Yunhao and Chu Yingying saluted him together.

Lu Fucheng smiled and accepted half a gift, and Mrs. Lu welcomed them into the house for dinner.

After dinner, Lu Fucheng, Lu Yuan, and Cui Yunhao moved the medicinal materials from the carriage into the warehouse in the backyard, while Chu Yingying helped Aunt Lu clean up the dishes.

There are not many medicinal materials, and the three of them moved all of them after a few trips.

Lu Yuan pulled Lu Fucheng to sit down to warm up by the fire, and asked him to tell some interesting things that happened on the road.

Lu Fucheng suddenly remembered something, and said loudly: "Yesterday, on the official road back to Hangzhou, I saw a group of officers and soldiers escorting wanted criminals. It was a huge battle. There were at least a dozen prisoners. They all wore The wooden shackles were dragged away with a long chain by the officials. There were a few others who resisted arrest and were beaten to death on the spot. They were bloody and bloody. I only took a sneak peek, and I was terrified and rushed to the car. dodged."

Lu Yuan was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Where is the wanted criminal?"

Lu Fucheng took the teacup from Mrs. Lu, raised his neck and took a big sip before continuing, "I heard that he escaped from the prison in Xuancheng Yamen. Those officers and soldiers hunted him down for several months. Those who went there didn't catch anyone, so they all sent to the south.

Later I heard that there were more than people who escaped, and it seems that there are only five or six who have not been caught. The Yamen has sent additional manpower, saying that all fugitives must be arrested before the end of the year. "

When Chu Yingying heard this, she lost her mind, and was so frightened that the bowl in her hand accidentally fell to the ground, making a loud noise, and the bowl immediately shattered, sending porcelain pieces flying everywhere.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all because I didn't hold it steady for a while, so I dropped the bowl."

Chu Yingying repeatedly apologized to Aunt Lu, panicked and wanted to bend down to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the floor.

Aunt Lu immediately stopped her and said, "Don't pick it up, be careful not to cut your hands, and leave it to me to deal with it. It's okay, you can rest first."

As she spoke, she brought a broom and a dustpan to clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

Only then did Chu Yingying let out a long breath, raised her head, and met Cui Yunhao's eyes. The two looked at each other, and they both saw some uneasiness and fear in each other's eyes.

Officials from Xuancheng have already chased them to Hangzhou!

How can this be good?

With a lot of apprehension, Cui Yunhao and Chu Yingying sat by the fire, just lowered their heads and listened to the Lu family's chat in silence, neither of them spoke, they were always thinking about the fugitive hunted by the officials that Lu Fucheng just mentioned this matter.

When it was Haishi, Lu Renjia couldn't bear it at first, and yawned, and was helped back to sleep by Aunt Lu.

Lu Yuan and Lu Fucheng talked for another incense stick, and Aunt Lu urged them to take a bath. In an instant, only Lu Fucheng, Chu Yingying, and Cui Yunhao were left.

Lu Fucheng didn't know them well yet, so he didn't have much to talk about. Coupled with the exhaustion of the horses and horses, he was already tired, so he stretched himself and said, "Okay, I'm sleepy too, it's getting late, you guys Go to bed, two kids."
