Chapter 149: The Trap
"Lord Guozhang, Zhou Yan just ran out of the Great Prince's Mansion."
A man dressed in coarse linen clothes and carrying a pole full of windmills carefully walked into the Guozhang Mansion and came to Zhou Zichuan.
"Look closely, is there really no one to follow?"
Stroking his beard, Zhou Zichuan asked cautiously.
"Go back to your lordship, make sure that no one is following, and after Zhou Yan runs away, two teams of people will run out of the Great Prince's Mansion, and it seems that they are looking for Zhou Yan."
The man in coarse linen hurriedly replied, as far as he could seem, Zhou Yan didn't know what he was crazy about, and he would suddenly run out of the Great Prince's Mansion, which was purely looking for death.
"Father, what are you hesitating about, while Zhou Yan ran out without knowing whether he was alive or dead, let's send him to see Hades as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Zhou Zichuan seemed to be hesitating about something, Zhou Xiaohu immediately became anxious.
"Shut up, what do you know, now the Great Prince's Mansion is also looking for him, and we don't have enough time to get rid of him.
And getting rid of him is not the goal, the most important thing is to get rid of him unknowingly, even if someone suspects that we did it, he has no evidence, you know! ”
Glaring at Zhou Xiaohu with vertical eyes, Zhou Zichuan frowned and thought about it.
"In this way, you arrange for someone to secretly approach Zhou Yan, and then pass this note to him, and you don't need to say anything else. Leave as soon as you pass the note, don't make more contact with him, and be careful that Situ Sedum's people find out. ”
Picking up a piece of paper that had been cut to write calligraphy, Zhou Xiaochuan thought for a while, lowered his head and quickly wrote a few lines on it. Folding the note, Zhou Xiaochuan handed it to the man in coarse linen.
"Go ahead, be careful when you come into contact with Zhou Yan, and it must be done when Situ Jingtian's people don't find him. Go ahead, be careful. ”
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately."
The man in coarse linen clasped his fists, gave a salute, put away the note, and walked out of the Guozhang Mansion with a pole full of kites.
On the other side, the two teams of people sent out by Tian Ban, under the leadership of the two guards, began to track Zhou Yan's traces in two directions.
It was also Zhou Yan who was running around, all the time he was running on the path, and it was almost noon at this time, and the sun was hot.
People stayed in the house to escape the heat, and generally no one wanted to go out during this time period, so the two teams tracked for a long time, and they didn't meet anyone who had seen Zhou Yan's figure.
The weather was hot, and they couldn't find Zhou Yan's figure in a hurry, and the two teams were all busy sweating, and sweat was running down their cheeks.
"What should I do, it's been almost half an hour, and there is still no Zhou Yan."
After searching around the surroundings to no avail, the two teams of guards converged at a tea stall in the shade not far from the Great Prince's Mansion.
"I thought that this Zhou Yan was not young, and he looked thin and weak, but I didn't expect that he could really run, it seems that we have to expand the search range."
A guard with a sword at his waist said, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the sweat from his face.
"This damn weather, it's really going to heat a person. In such a hot weather, I don't know that the situation in Jiangzhou Mansion is like this, otherwise under this kind of weather, wouldn't the corpses of the victims be rotten.
Alas, now that something like this has happened to us again, if Zhou Yan has an accident because of our carelessness and Zhou Yan has an accident, then how can we explain to the eldest prince.
When the time comes, the eldest prince will be busy with disaster relief and worry about things at home, isn't this all because we are too incompetent! ”
"Brother Qu, I understand what you said, but it's ....... Alas, forget it, don't say anything else, let's hurry up and find Zhou Yan! ”
Another guard, with a saber at his waist, sighed, drank the cool herbal tea in one gulp, and stood up with a wipe of his mouth.
"Okay brothers, the herbal tea is also drunk, we have to hurry up and find Zhou Yan."
With a greeting, the cross-knife guard ran away with his own team.
"Let's go, let's hurry up and run a few more places."
Brother Qu took out more than a dozen copper coins from his waist, slapped them directly on the table, and took people away.
On this side, Situ Sedum's people were still looking for Zhou Yan like headless flies, and on the other side, Zhou Zichuan's people, who had been monitoring Zhou Yan's movements, had also found an opportunity to pass the note out.
At this time, Zhou Yan was sitting under a big tree, which was the back street of a street, and there was a lot of wind blowing at the mouth of the alley on both sides, which was very shady.
Zhou Yan sat on the stone pier under the tree, looking at the note that had been opened in his hand, with a look of surprise.
Just now, just when Zhou Yan was walking aimlessly, a person suddenly ran from behind, the speed of the person who came was very fast, and when he ran to his side, the person who came didn't seem to stand firmly, and suddenly bumped into Zhou Yan.
When Zhou Yan stood firm, he raised his eyes to see where there was still the figure of the person who almost knocked him down.
Zhou Yan, who was a little depressed, stood up straight and just wanted to take a step to continue walking, when he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something more in his hand, and when he raised his hand, he found that he had a hand that was stuffed into a folded note at some point.
"This, could it be that the person who just stuffed it into me?"
Because Fang Cai's attention was all on maintaining balance and almost falling, so much so that someone stuffed something in his hand, Zhou Yan didn't feel anything.
"It should be for me, right, then open it and take a look?"
After looking around, Zhou Yan found that there was a stone under the tree not far away, so he walked under the tree and sat down, and at the same time opened the note and looked at it.
Although the Zhou family has declined, it is said that the ancestors also produced literati, so Zhou Yan can still read and write. Seeing the words on the note clearly, his face changed without stopping.
It turned out that the note was written in the tone of Zhou Yan's cousin Zhou Chuan, and it mentioned that he already knew about Zhou Yan, and he was very sorry for what happened to his niece.
But now he can't directly come forward to avenge Zhou Yan, because the eldest prince Situ Jingtian has a suspicion with him, and Situ Jingtian has already found out that Zhou Yan is his cousin.
Situ Jingtian still doesn't settle this matter for you, he just wants to control you and blackmail me Zhou Chuan. If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself, is it locked up in the prince's mansion and can't come and go freely? Is it that people are subject to restrictions everywhere and are not free?
Cousin, if you want to live, do as I say......
Holding the note tightly, Zhou Yan fell into deep thought. After thinking about it, he suddenly raised his head and stood up. (To be continued.) )
