Chapter 782 Waiting for the Rabbit

When they arrived near the prison of the Ministry of Justice, it was still early. There were a few small stalls selling breakfast not far away. The two of them found a place to sit down and ate slowly.

Before Gu Fei finished a bowl of noodles with soybean paste, she saw a group of people coming out of the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

There were two officials in front, followed by a string of people.

It was really a string. These people were strung together with ropes. Everyone had shackles around their necks. Fortunately, there were no shackles on their feet. It was probably inconvenient to travel with shackles.

There were two more officials at the end of the team, a total of four.

There were six people wearing shackles. Gu Fei had seen Mrs. Lu and her two aunts. There were also two young men and a girl. They were Xiao Yu's cousins. Gu Fei had also seen them when she went to the Qin Guogong Mansion.

Mrs. Lu's gray hair was disheveled, and she was wearing a dirty prisoner's uniform. She walked forward with a wooden expression.

When the group walked very far away and was almost out of sight, Xiao Yu got up and followed them.

Gu Fei sat still, finished her noodles with soybean paste, gave the silver, and then followed Xiao Yu from a distance.

After walking for about half an hour, when she was about to reach the South Gate, Gu Fei flashed to the side of the street and teleported out.

Fortunately, she was familiar with the South Gate. The last time she looked for the Red Lotus Sect, it was here.

Gu Fei teleported to the vicinity of Nanshan, which was about ten miles away from the capital.

When she turned out from the foot of the mountain, she saw that there were still many pedestrians and horses on the official road.

Perhaps it was because the weather was hot now, most pedestrians chose to travel early in the morning.

Gu Fei walked forward slowly, she wanted to choose a good place to start.

After walking about four or five miles, Gu Fei looked at the watch on her wrist.

It was half past eight.

She found the watch on purpose, and she hadn't used it for a long time.

She wound it up last night and checked the time.

It was still early. She and Xiao Yu agreed that the action would be around ten o'clock. If they started too early, they might be afraid that the news of the Qin family's rescue would be reported back to the capital, and the capital might execute Qin Guogong and his son on the spot.

Gu Fei walked neither fast nor slow. When it was almost half past nine, she saw a thatched shed under a big tree on the side of the road. A flag was raised on the shed with a big word "tea" on it.

There were several rough wooden tables in the shed, and benches were placed around. An old man with wrinkles on his face was sitting in the shed. When he saw Gu Fei looking over, he hurriedly greeted her, "Sir, it's hot, come and have a drink of water and rest your feet."

Gu Fei smiled and walked in, gave a few copper coins, asked for a bowl of cold tea, and drank it slowly.

Not long after, several more guests came to drink tea, drank tea, gave copper coins, and left.

Only Gu Fei was still sitting there.

Gu Fei drank a bowl of cold tea in two quarters of an hour, but she only drank half a bowl, and the old man selling tea did not urge her.

She glanced at her wrist, it was already ten minutes past ten, and after checking the time, she pulled down her sleeves to cover her watch.

She stretched her neck to look in the direction of the capital, and saw a group of people coming from afar.

The Qin family came out of the prison of the Ministry of Justice at about seven o'clock, and it has been an hour and a half since then. The weather in July is still very hot, and they are already very thirsty after walking all the way.

The aunt saw a tea stall in front and just wanted to drink water. Seeing that Mrs. Lu was staggering, she begged an official in front, "Sir, can you stop at the tea stall in front, let us rest and drink some water."

The official snorted coldly, "How long have you walked and you want to rest? If so, when can we get to Yazhou?"

"We can't rest now, wait until noon when the sun is hot."
