Chapter 407: Pursuit
People who enter and exit from the city gate will be stopped and checked by the city guards at the city gate, but fortunately, there is a gold-lettered signboard of the five princes, and He Linwan and his party entered the city more smoothly.
When the carriage passed by the city gate, He Linwan lifted the curtain and took a few looks, and found that the people who were stopped at the city gate for key inspection were all teenagers.
"Wait until you get out of the carriage and ask what's going on. He Linwan whispered to Chunxiao.
Chunxiao immediately packed the ticket and said: "Don't worry, girl, the slave is the best at this!"
Because it was not early, the people were tired and tired on the way, and seeing that the capital was about to arrive, the five princes and their entourage originally planned to rest in Yongcheng for one night and rush back to Beijing early tomorrow morning.
After settling down at the post station, Chunxiao went out to inquire.
After a while, Chunxiao hurriedly ran back: "Oh no, girl! Yes, it's King Kangjun who has an accident!"
He Linwan was shocked when he heard this, and frowned: "What's the matter?"
"The slave maid just heard the people outside talking about it, saying that yesterday King Kangjun drunk and molested His Majesty's concubine Niangniang in the palace, and the concubine Niangniang was just hanging the beam and committed suicide! King Kangjun absconded in fear of crime, and now he is missing!"
"Concubine?" When He Lin was in the capital at night, there was no such person in the palace.
Chun Xiaodao nodded and said, "I heard that it was a noble girl sent by Daji Kingdom, and she only entered the palace last year!"
He Linwan heard this.
Since the war five years ago, the vitality of Daji Kingdom was greatly damaged, and later there were Nanwang and Lou Hu fighting for power, and Daji Kingdom fell into civil strife, so in recent years, there has been nothing between Daji and Dazhou, and even some painless diplomatic exchanges with each other. Last year, the country sent several nobles to Beijing, and I heard that the envoy sent had also asked a nobleman to marry a princess, but in the end it didn't work out, but the emperor left the noblewomen of the country, and this concubine must be such a source.
Whether Li Heng was drunk and molested the emperor's concubine or not is a matter of not being able to do so for the time being, but the fact that it was the noble daughter of Daji Country who had an accident is worth pondering. Although the Great Ji Kingdom and the Great Zhou have stopped fighting for five years, this balance will be broken one day, who knows what kind of turmoil the death of the concubine will cause, and what role will people from all walks of life play in this matter?
Thinking of Li Heng, who was in the center of the storm, He Linwan was also a little helpless in his heart.
That night, as soon as He Linwan turned off the lights, Cui Yan came over.
He Linwan looked at the man who came in through the window in the dark: "Are you here for the matter of King Kangjun?"
Cui Yan was startled by her voice, and when he jumped out of the window, he almost didn't stand still and staggered.
"You didn't sleep?"
He Linwan sat at the table in the middle of the room, neatly dressed, "I knew you might have to come, so I waited." ”
Cui Yan walked over and sat opposite He Linwan, and sighed before he could speak.
"Li Xiaoheng doesn't know what to do, we have to find him quickly! If he is found by others first, I am afraid that he will suffer a lot of crimes. ”
He Linwan comforted him and said, "I saw that although the city guards were strictly investigated today, they had never seen Li Heng after all, and it was not difficult to escape from them. ”
Cui Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's not difficult to escape from the city guards, but I heard that the emperor sent people from the Shen Penal Division, and it is not easy to avoid their search! What's more, some people may not want Li Heng to live at all!"
He Linwan was silent, she knew that Cui Yan's worries were not unreasonable.
"It's just that this time I don't know if it's from the emperor's instructions, or if it's the action of Dajiguo. If it is the emperor's design, his purpose should be our son. If it is the conspiracy of the Great Ji Kingdom, then they must have a great plan. ”
He Lin said later: "The top priority now is to find someone first. As you said, if Li Xiaoheng falls into the hands of others first, it is up to others to decide how this matter will go. ”
Cui Yan nodded, "You're right, no matter what, find someone first!"
He Linwan and Cui Yan were worried about Li Heng, hoping that he could escape the search, but unfortunately Li Heng's luck didn't seem to be so good.
Li Heng has been stunned until now!
He said that he was drunk in the palace, and he admitted that he had lost his manners in front of the palace, although he only drank a glass of sweet wine, and the ghost knows how he got drunk! But he said that he was molesting that concubine, and he would never admit it! The concubine was half a head taller than him, blacker than him, and ugly!
When he saw the concubine for the first time, he couldn't help but express deep sympathy for the emperor, and felt that it was not easy to be an emperor. Thinking of him, a young county king with a graceful demeanor and countless admirers in the wind, even if he wants to find an emperor's concubine to flirt, it is impossible to choose a concubine!
Li Heng was very aggrieved and angry! But he didn't do anything after suffering a big loss, that concubine actually hanged herself!
Li Heng thought about it with his limited brain, and felt that there must be a conspiracy here! Someone wanted to harm him!
So Li Heng ran away.
In the past few years, Li Heng has been secretly monitored by the emperor's people around him in the capital, but he has been used to being watched since he was a child in the Jin Palace, so he didn't take it seriously. His brother is gone, his parents have also left Beijing, and he is a proton-like existence every day, and he even causes less trouble.
may be because he has been too well-behaved in recent years, and the people who monitored him relaxed their vigilance for a while, and actually let him escape.
Li Heng did not leave Beijing after escaping from the mansion, he was in too much hurry, penniless, and he didn't know the way to go to Donglin to find his brother. Fortunately, he remembered the small alley crisscrossing Xiao Mu when he first encountered it, and there were all ordinary people living nearby, and no one could recognize him, so Li Heng fled to the vicinity of Guan Gong Temple.
Li Heng hid for a day, tired and hungry, just when he hesitated for a while, wanting to abandon his dignity and sacrifice his hue to ask the little girl who sold baked cakes at the mouth of the alley to ask for a baked cake to eat, he saw Ning Yi.
After all, Li Heng had no experience in evading tracking, and for the Prudent Punishment Division with Eagle Eye all over the capital, it was only a matter of time before he could be found.
The moment Li Heng saw Ning Yi, he turned around and ran.
It's a pity that in the end, Ning Yi was blocked in a dead end!
Looking at the slender figure wearing a waist knife and walking towards him with an indifferent face, Li Heng felt a burst of despair!
Ning Yi bowed and saluted, "The villain has seen King Kangjun!"
Li Heng leaned his back against the wall, squeezing out a stiff smile while trembling, "Lord Ning doesn't have to be polite!"
Ning Yi raised his eyes when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The villain doesn't dare to be rude in front of the county king, the county king's shoes seem to be dirty, but do you still need the villain to help you wipe them?"
It's over! This dead eunuch he, he, he holds a grudge!
Li Heng remembered the scene of meeting Ning Yi for the first time, and he was in a cold sweat.
