Chapter 193: Arson
When Yu Heng heard this, he estimated that he was talking about the same below, so he gestured to Ming Zhao and Wen Feichen and motioned for them to follow him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The three of them quietly came down from the roof, and were about to turn back to the thatched house, when they suddenly heard Supervisor Wang come out of the house, and said with a smile: "Chief butler, you rest for a while, and I will call someone for you!"
Supervisor Wang gently closed the door, and then walked out proudly humming a little tune, and was about to call a woman to the housekeeper Guo, when he suddenly saw a man in the shadows riding a horse, followed by three dejected people.
"Yo, isn't this Chiba-sama? Why are you here?"
The person who came was Chiba, the prince's personal bodyguard, who was responsible for the prince's personal safety and was also the leader of the prince's personal guard.
Chiba was expressionless and dismounted in front of the workshop, "Do you know these three people?"
Supervisor Wang looked at them, only to see that the three of them were shirtless, their hair was messy, and then at their dark faces, "Aren't these miners in the mine?
"I saw them on the way over, one by one shirtless and just got up from the ground, with the shrewdness of the king's supervisor, should I not let these three men sleep lazily while they were at work?"
"My lord, my lord, we are not lazy!" The three of them listened to Chiba's words, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed desperately. This Wang overseer is known as "Wang Devil" among the miners, and his hands are the most vicious, if someone is lazy and is found out by him, he can whip this person to death.
Supervisor Wang glared at the three people viciously, "You still dare to deny being caught by Lord Chiba? It seems that I have been too good to you recently, one by one, I don't remember to eat or not!" See how I clean you up?"
"My lord, we were really wronged! We were knocked unconscious, stripped of our clothes, and dumped on the side of the road. When this adult came, we just woke up, so we let the adults misunderstand that we were lazy to sleep!"
Chiba frowned, this copper mine has always been heavily guarded, could anyone have mixed in?
He swept his eyes, and the workers in the workshop were so frightened that they hurriedly buried their heads and worked hard, for fear of being arrested and questioned. These adults are not kind-hearted people, and as soon as their temper comes up, whether you are justified or not, they will be beaten first.
"Oh no! I've been discovered!" Yu Heng was a little anxious, he couldn't get out at this time, it was too conspicuous.
Ming Zhao looked at the situation outside, "Let's fight out!" It is estimated that the new Chiba-sama knows martial arts, and the others are ordinary people, and they are definitely not their opponents.
"No, if you call out, you will definitely meet the other party, and your identity will be exposed!"
Wen Feichen took out a fire fold from his arms, "Why don't we set it on fire!"
Yu Heng smiled, "That's a good idea!"
After a while, the house behind the workshop was on fire, and there was more than one fire, and the servants inside rushed out, and no one cared about the housekeeper Guo.
When Supervisor Wang saw that the house suddenly caught fire, he didn't bother to interrogate the three miners, and hurriedly ordered the miners to go to put out the fire. Chiba was unmoved, his piercing eyes were watching the house tightly. This fire started strangely, it must have been arson, and there is no need to guess that it was the three people who mixed in.
"Supervisor Wang, don't start a fire first, you go and gather all the miners on the ground, patrol around the mine, arrest suspicious people when you see them, and shout if you can't beat them, I will go to help." ā
"This ...... But Steward Guo is still inside!"
"Guo Song?"
"Yes. ā
This Guo Song is Guo Qing's henchman, and Guo Qing is the person who can be used by the prince, so it is not good to ignore him at the moment. Chiba waved his hand and asked him to take the miners to put out the fire, while he continued to monitor possible escape routes.
However, he had never seen the three of Yuheng at all, these three were wearing miners' clothes at the moment, and they knew martial arts, so they quickly mixed in with the miners who were fighting the fire, and took the opportunity to fetch water and escaped. They went down the mountain, went to the hotel to get their horses, did not dare to stay for a moment, and rode their horses in the direction of Yindu overnight.
After returning to Yindu for a short rest, Ming Zhao decided to enter the palace again.
"What are you doing in the palace? Didn't your father tell you not to act rashly?"
"Since I found out about Guoqing's copper mine, I should go and tell my father immediately. This copper mine is a big deal, especially when the big housekeeper Guo said that the weapons they made will be sold to the Eastern Qi Kingdom, which is a fundamental thing that shakes the country, and I must go to the palace. ā
Wen Feichen saw that Ming Zhao's attitude was resolute, and it was not easy to stop him again, "Last time you entered the palace, Boss Miao helped you send it in, what about this time?
Ming Zhao shook his head, "I have already seen that there is a weak guard in the palace, and in the dead of night, I will quietly enter the palace, meet my father, tell him about it, and then come out immediately." ā
Yu Heng knew his thoughts, so he didn't persuade at all, and directly handed him the two short arrows, "This is the arrow used by the Dark Star Organization to transmit information, there is a mechanism here, if you encounter something urgent, press this mechanism, the arrow will shoot out, and there will be a whistle on the body of the arrow, and it will make a sound." Someone will come and help you then. ā
Ming Zhao took it gratefully and hid it on his body, "Thank you so much Yu Gongzi!"
"Well said! I will definitely complete the task assigned by my boss. ā
That night, Ming Zhao changed into the clothes of the chamberlain brought out of the palace last time, and took advantage of the palace guards to pass over the wall from a corner and sneak into the palace. He was already familiar with the map of the palace, and after discerning the direction a little, he immediately walked to the Beiyuan where the merchant was located.
When he came to the gate of Beiyuan, he first listened to the movement inside the door, and only heard the people of the patrol team talking, and he was about to go to the south hall to rest. He climbed the big tree last time, looked at the movement inside, and found that not only the patrol members had returned to the south hall to rest, but even the two guards at the gate of the west hall had lazily slept.
"Great!"
Ming Zhao jumped into the courtyard, and then walked lightly to the door of the west hall. He looked in both directions, and when he saw that there was no movement, he gently pushed the door open a crack and dodged in.
At this time, the hall suddenly became brightly lit, Ming Zhao was startled, squinted, but found that the prince was sitting on the couch with a smile and looking at him, "You are finally here!"
Ming Zhao was shocked, what did he mean by this? Could it be that he knew he was coming early in the morning?
At this time, Shang Jun came out of it and scolded Ming Zhao angrily: "You stupid minion, who let you enter the palace at this time?"
The prince laughed, "Father, don't pretend, this is my long-lost good brother, I feel sorry for you to scold him like this!"
