However, Cui’s mother is not blind.
With so many people surrounding him, it was already eye-catching, not to mention that the carriage and horse were obviously from the government. She spotted him earlier than Tang Zhou, and the curtain was raised at just the right angle for her to see.
She was shocked in her heart, but she pretended to be calm on her face.
Tang Zhou got out of the carriage, and she took the lead to turn around and go back. She was afraid of being noticed and didn't even dare to run quickly. Fortunately, there were a lot of people at the moment. She passed through the crowd and entered behind the rows of small stalls on the street. Just perfect for covering up.
"Control people, no one is allowed to move!"
Tang Zhou shouted loudly, and the guards on both sides took action immediately, but at the same time they were startled and the crowd was in commotion. Some people were so frightened that they ran away, shouting and cursing, and there was chaos.
Hearing this, Cui's mother also quickened her pace and even started running.
Fortunately, there were vendors on both sides of the street. There were stalls blocking the street and the crowd was chaotic and it was dark, so no one noticed her. She didn't dare to look back and ran as fast as she could. Behind her were the sounds of guards and government servants arresting people. Her heartbeat was beating fast and she was thankful at the same time. Fortunately, she had reacted quickly, otherwise she might not have been able to escape.
Fortunately, this street is not long.
From time to time, she ran into the city's shopping area, turned a corner and disappeared into the alley.
The city gate.
The rioting crowd was quickly frightened by the swords of the guards and government officials. Those who ran farther were chased and caught, except for Cui's mother who escaped before everyone could react.
"Son."
"Brother Tang..."
With a livid face, Tang Zhou went to the controlled crowd and asked them to speak one by one.
It is estimated that there must be one or two hundred people present.
"S-Sir." Magistrate Yang followed Tang Zhou tremblingly three steps away. He had previously promised not to reveal Tang Zhou's identity to avoid any further accidents, so outside, Magistrate Yang did not dare to call him uncle, "My lord, who is If you have any orders, let me tell you..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly bent down with his head in his hands.
Because Tang Zhou suddenly pulled out the sword from the waist of the guard beside him, obviously not aiming at Magistrate Yang, but he was shocked.
Tang Zhou pointed his sword at the crowd and blurted out threatening words, his voice as deep as ice.
"One word per person, if anyone dares to deliberately change his voice to fool me, don't blame the sword in my hand for being ruthless."
Either out of excitement or because the injury was not healed, Tang Zhou's grip on the sword was trembling and a little unsteady. The dim light from the roadside lights shone on his face, but it failed to make his face soft and instead formed a strong contrast between his coldness and hardness.
At this moment, Magistrate Yang reacted quickly.
He made an excuse that there was a thief in the city, and Tang Zhou happened to have heard the thief's voice, and suspected that he was hiding in the crowd, so he asked them to check and verify it one by one.
The common people did not know Tang Zhou, but Magistrate Yang was their father-in-law, so the common people still believed his words.
As a result, the people present began to speak out one after another.
Tang Zhou listened one by one.
For fear of missing out, both men and women must listen to them one by one.
After hearing the last voice, I couldn't count how many there were. When the last voice fell, the guard reported that there was no one left, but Tang Zhou still looked tense and shook his head slightly to express disbelief.
Either he heard it wrong.
Or, she had already taken advantage of the chaos and ran away.
No...he wouldn't have heard wrong.
He threw away his sword and slowly turned sideways, the last bit of blood on his face disappearing visibly.
Even if it was a hallucination or a mishearing, he should still hallucinate the voice of his lily of the valley. How could he inexplicably hallucinate the voice of his aunt?
"Sir, who are you looking for? Whose name is he? Is he a boy or a girl? How old is he? Just tell him, and we will find him even if we search the whole city."
Whose last name?
What a good name!
Tang Zhou lowered his eyes and suddenly laughed, his laughter full of self-deprecation.
"Blame me." He stepped forward softly, as if he would fall down at any time. When his laughter fell, his eyes turned red, "Blame me...blame me..."
He kept repeating these two words, his voice filled with regret.
He should have asked for the name of that aunt who bullied Suzulan like that. He should have remembered the person who bullied her so that he could vent his anger on her in the future. But why didn't he ask? He didn't care enough, right?
That's why she left.
If he was really good enough to her, how could she abandon him.
It's his fault.
It's all his fault!
This was all retribution for his lack of care and attention, which resulted in him trying to find someone but not even a clue.
He has no name, no surname, what he looks like, no height, fat or thin. There is only a voice that he can recognize. How to find it? I am afraid that it has been hidden now, or it has been secretly obtained from some secret. Dao left the city.
When the crowd was rioting just now, a lot of things were thrown on the ground.
Tang Zhou couldn't see and didn't care about anything. He was a sober person, but he seemed to have stepped out of a drunken state. One step was true and the other was false. His moon-white clothes were blown by the wind, and his hair, like dust, was blown in front of him to block his eyes. , step by step, laugh step by step, the laughter is silent, like tears falling from the corners of the eyes, no one can hear them.
"Master!"
The guard who was following closely behind him was suddenly startled because Tang Zhou tripped over the thick wooden stick under his feet and looked about to fall down.
In fact, he was able to stand firmly, but he fell down due to the gravity of the fall.
Fortunately, the guard was quick to help him. He hurriedly held his arm, but found that his body was getting heavier and heavier. He knelt down on both knees. The guard turned pale with fright and knelt down with him.
Immediately.
With a "pop" sound, a large mouthful of blood spit out from Tang Zhou's mouth.
"Master!"
Seeing him vomiting blood, the guards were at a loss what to do.
Tang Zhou gasped and wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, wiping away the blood that was still dripping, but leaving a bright red color on his lips. His eyelids seemed unable to support the two drops of tears that fluttered weakly with his long eyelashes. It hit the ground and shattered into the dust, just like him, as if it was like a piece of broken glass, as if it was about to break.
"Sir, I will take you to the hospital right away."
The guards worked together to help him up, but he tried his best to throw them away.
"Leave the city...I want to leave the city." He spoke softly.
"Son..."
"I... want to leave the city and return to the village."
The previous meeting with Yu Shan and the village chief was to ask them to take him back to the village, including that night when he slipped out while Yu Shan was sleeping, not to leave, but just to go to the entrance of the village.
Wherever he is placed, he will wait.
Otherwise, what should he do if he can't find his lily of the valley when he comes back to look for it?
"Sir, the city gate is at the back."
Only then did Tang Zhou stop his staggering steps, turned around but continued to move forward.
"But Young Master, your injury has recurred again. Let me take you to the hospital to treat your injury first. Your injury is not healed yet. You have been in coma for the past few days and have barely had any water. Your body is so weak..."
But Tang Zhou couldn't listen and only called "Yu Shan"'s name.
Yu Shan and the village chief stood far away, frightened by the battle just now and not daring to speak out. They also understood that Tang Zhou was a very important person. Even the prefect of Yanzhou respected him, so they felt that they were the same as Tang Zhou. There was a distance between the boats.
