Chapter 244: Out of the City

In the early morning of the next day, a delicately carved carriage slowly drove towards the Nanheng Gate, with a red roof and a dark gold pattern embroidered on the curtain, which was very flashy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Stop, the emperor has decreed that no one is allowed to leave the city, haven't you read the notice in the city?" The guard guarding the gate stopped the carriage at the gate and said sharply.

"This official, our lord has the emperor's permission, you see, this is a token." The driver of the car held a yellow sign in his hand, and quietly stuffed the guard with his other hand into a purse.

The guard's hand quietly pinched the purse, and his face had softened a lot, but he still looked embarrassed, not that he didn't want to be accommodating, but that he had lost the little prince, and if he accidentally let people out, his head would have to be moved.

"Butler, what's wrong? Why don't you leave, it's too late. As he spoke, a face with a Chinese character was revealed, majestic and majestic.

When the guard saw it, isn't this the general Zuo Rong, you must know that this Zuo Rong is the god of war of the Chu State, and he still supports the prince, and now that the prince has ascended the throne, it is even more prosperous.

"The small one has seen the general, and the general wants to go out of the city, and the small one should not be blocked, but the emperor has an order, so the small one doesn't dare to let him go." The guard hurriedly bent down and said with a smile.

Zuo Rong waved his hand and said: "If I leave this city, it will be difficult for you, I came here just to see if you are well guarded, and you are still fulfilling your duties, not bad." ”

The guard was about to rush out of his mouth and swallowed back the words, secretly saying in his heart that it was so dangerous, if he had just said the words of release, I was afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat.

"Look at the city gates, no one is allowed to leave the city, and if there is any situation, report it immediately, understand?" Zuo Rong said.

The guard nodded hurriedly and said, "Understood, understood, the little one must not let anyone out of the city." ”

After sending Zuo Rong away, the guards breathed a long sigh of relief, it seems that no one can accept gifts next, who knows if it is a temptation, and the emperor attaches so much importance to it, if he really releases people, I am afraid that he will really lose his head.

Su Ning sat in the carriage and saw the scene just now very clearly, her fingers clenched, and she didn't know if the east side could do it, otherwise she really had no other way.

"Caught, caught."

"Who?"

"It's the person who kidnapped the little prince, and now that the person has been caught, it's on the east gate, go and take a look."

"Really, that's really good, I can't get out of the city these days, and I don't know what happened to my old son."

……….

Hearing the sound of everyone talking, Su Ning lifted the sedan curtain, looked at Nanheng Gate, a smile hooked up on the corner of her lips, and then glanced at the coachman behind the carriage and asked him to drive towards the door.

At this time, the chief of the guard had just received the news, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, and saw a carriage coming, and he raised his hand to force the carriage to stop, and said: "What's the matter, didn't you say it, no one is allowed to leave the city." ”

"Official, we don't go out of the city, it's not our wife's relatives who will marry their daughters tomorrow, and the family doesn't have much money to buy a dowry, our wife is kind-hearted, so she sent two boxes, and the people are at the gate of the city, so we will send the two boxes of dowry, and people don't go out of the city." After the coachman finished laughing, he put a yellow ingot of gold in the palm of the guard's hand.

When the chief of the guard heard this, his heart fell, as long as people don't go out of the city, then it's easy to say anything, he shook the gold in his palm, nodded with a smile and said: "If people don't go out, you can bring the two boxes of dowry over, let me see if there are any Tibetans, and I will send them out if there is no problem." ”

"Thank you, sir." As he spoke, the driver had two boxes carried down from behind.

The chief guard slowly opened the box, and sure enough, it contained gold, silver, jewelry, and ornaments, and the other box contained silk cloth for the dowry.

"Alright, you guys carry these two boxes out." After the chief guard finished speaking, several guards behind him lifted the box.

One of the guards frowned and said, "Why is this box so heavy?" ”

"Can gold and silver jewelry not sink?" Another guard spoke.

"Yours are gold and silver jewelry, and we are silk cloth, how can a few pieces of cloth feel heavier than your box of jewelry." The guard grumbled.

The coachman behind him heard the conversation of several guards, and his heart was stunned, and a lot of sweat broke out on his forehead.

When the last few guards were carried out, the coachman breathed a sigh of relief and made a false alarm, and a few people only complained a few words.

………

"Ah Jin, it's been five days, this person hasn't been found yet, will he have already left the city?" Tang Jinxuan said a little anxiously.

Nangong Fusu patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, didn't you have news from the east gate just now, maybe you may not be caught." ”

Tang Jinxuan nodded, her hands clasped together, it seemed to give her strength, but her eyes flashed with worry, she hadn't touched a drop of rice in the past few days, she hadn't eaten a drop of water, and she couldn't sleep well, and when she closed her eyes, she had an accident with Nian'er.

"Your Majesty, the people from the East Gate have been caught, but the child is not the little prince, and this person is not the person on the emperor's portrait, does the emperor want to interrogate him personally?" Jun Yuan asked.

"Not? It's not Nian'er, where did Nian'er go...."After listening to Jun Yuan's words, Tang Jinxuan suddenly sat down in her seat, and said with lost eyes.

When Nangong Fusu heard Jun Yuan's words, he immediately felt that this matter was very strange, stood up and said: "Take me to see, there are still people carrying children out of the city at this time, since they are not thieves, there must be something strange." ”

"Yes." Jun Yuan nodded and said.

"I'll go too." When Tang Jinxuan heard Nangong Fusu's words, she felt that it made sense, stood up and walked out.

When the three of them went out of the door, they saw Shen Congnan hurriedly walking in, and when they saw the three of them, they said with a gloomy face: "I just checked, the matter at the east gate was deliberately made by someone to make such trouble, and when there was an accident at the east gate, Nanhengmen shipped out two dowries, I'm afraid ....."

"Dowry? Who shipped it out? Nangong Fusu grabbed the key point and asked.

Shen Congnan shook his head and said, "It's still investigating, but I'm sure that people must be hiding in the dowry." ”

"How?" Nangong Fusu asked.

"The guards who carried the dowry said that the two boxes were heavier than the other, but when the boxes were inspected, one of the boxes was jewels and the other was cloth, and how could both of them be so heavy, so I suspected that there were people hidden in the cloth."

After listening to Shen Congnan's words, Nangong Fusu's heart sank, since he said so, eight or nine out of ten people have already left the city, who transported this dowry.

"You go check and see who shipped these two boxes of dowries." Nangong Fusu said angrily.

"No need to check, I went to the South Gate today, and when I left, there was only one carriage, and it was Su Zhentian's housekeeper who was driving." With a sword pinned to his waist, Zuo Rong strode in and spoke.
