After rebirth, I abducted the future minister

Chapter 63 Chasing the Fugitive

Seeing Lu Renjia coming, the middle-aged man immediately bent down and called "Dad".

This man is Lu Fucheng, Lu Yuan’s father, the eighth generation Chinese medicine practitioner of Ji Shi Tang.

Lu Renjia was very happy to see his son back and exchanged greetings with him for a while.

Lu Fucheng answered them all honestly. 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 the whole story. After Lu Fucheng understood, he looked at them and nodded: "So that's it, our Jishi Hall hasn't hired a man for a long time, and it just so happened that Yuan'er also had a companion to play with.

"

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

Lu Fucheng smiled and accepted a half-ceremony, and Aunt Lu welcomed them into the house for dinner.

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

There weren't a lot of medicinal materials, so the three of us carried them all after a few trips.

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

Chu Yingying took a deep breath, raised her head, and met Cui Yunhao's eyes. The two looked at each other, and both saw some uneasiness and fear in the other's eyes.

Later I heard that there were more than thirty people who escaped, but it seems that only five or six have not been caught so far. The Yamen has deployed more manpower and said that all fugitives must be arrested before the end of the year."

When Chu Yingying heard this, she lost consciousness and was so frightened that she accidentally dropped the bowl in her hand to the ground with a loud noise. The bowl immediately shattered and porcelain shards flew everywhere.

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 such a big formation. There were at least a dozen prisoners, all of whom were wearing masks.

The wooden shackles were dragged away with a long chain by the officers. Several others who resisted the arrest were beaten to death on the spot, their bodies were bloody and bloody. I only took a sneak peek and was so frightened that I hurried to the car.

Averted."

Aunt Lu immediately stopped her and said: "Don't pick it up, be careful of cutting your hand, let me take care of it. It doesn't matter, just rest first."

As she spoke, she took a broom and dustpan and swept away the broken porcelain pieces on the floor.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault that I didn't hold it steady for a moment, so I dropped the bowl."

Lu Yuan was surprised when he heard this and said: "Where did the wanted criminal come from?"

Lu Fucheng took the teacup from Aunt Lu's hand, raised his neck and took a long sip, and then continued: "I heard that he escaped from the prison in Xuancheng Yamen. Those officers and soldiers have been hunting for several months, and they went north some time ago.

The group that went there didn't catch anyone, so they were all sent south.

Chu Yingying apologized to Mrs. Lu repeatedly, and in a panic she wanted to lean over to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

What should I do?

Officials from Xuancheng have already arrived in Hangzhou!

Full of anxiety, Cui Yunhao and Chu Yingying sat by the fire, just lowering their heads and silently listening to the Lu family's chat. Neither of them spoke, and their minds were always thinking about the officials Lu Fucheng mentioned just now, chasing fugitives.

this matter.

At Haishi, Lu Renjia couldn't bear it any longer and yawned. Aunt Lu helped her back to her room and fell asleep.

Lu Yuan and Lu Fucheng exchanged words with another stick of incense, and were urged by Aunt Lu to take a bath. In an instant, only Lu Fucheng, Chu Yingying, and Cui Yunhao were left.

Lu Fucheng was not familiar with them yet and had nothing to talk about. In addition, he was already tired due to the hard work of traveling and riding, so he stretched out and said, "Okay, I'm sleepy too. It's getting late. You guys

You two kids, go to bed quickly."
