Chapter 245: The City Gate is on Fire
Yan Yiyun and Qi Ziyu and others were forced to stay outside the city gate, seeing that the officers and soldiers guarding the city came to inspect but there was no other way for a while, the Seven Princes personally guarded here for some reason, as if they were deliberately trying to track down something, if there was no other way to enter the city, they could only fight hard, but it was not a good strategy to leave or right.
"What should I do?" Yan Yiyun lowered his voice and asked Qi Ziyu, it seemed that he didn't seem to be too worried about this function, and even said half-jokingly, "You just need to protect yourself, if it's a big deal, rush in, if the horse is frightened and gallops, it can't be stopped by manpower." ”
"At this time, can you say some serious ideas, standing here in a good manner, how can the horse be frightened and gallop?" Yan Yiyun quietly glanced at him, "If you have a disguise, I won't be recognized, so it's better to ......"
Before she finished speaking, there was a sudden chaos outside, someone shouted "firefighting" and rushed towards the city gate here, she followed the direction of the crowd to see, there was indeed thick smoke billowing, it seemed that the fire was not small, and it had been blown to the front with the wind in an instant, and I didn't know what was easy to ignite near the city gate, which greatly fueled the fire, and the red flames dyed the dusk sky with a bloody color.
Yan Yiyun was stunned, the fire had not yet arrived, but the temperature had already risen, especially the cool wind in autumn was mixed with the heat wave that continued to dry, which made her raise her eyebrows, this thing would be so coincidental, I am afraid that Qi Ziyu had other arrangements, just wanted to turn around and ask, but suddenly felt that the carriage trembled violently, and then ran forward like crazy.
Yan Yiyun sat unsteadily, and his body couldn't help but stagger. almost hit the carriage, but fortunately, Qi Ziyu grabbed her in time on the side, and shouted out again. The carriage regained its stability, but its speed did not decrease, and it rushed through the city gate and drove towards the capital.
"You had the foresight to arrange for someone to set the fire? However, this fire is well placed, and we will come in without much effort. Yan Yiyun turned his face sideways and looked out. After confirming that there were no officers and soldiers catching up with him, he laughed easily.
"Don't look at it, those officers and soldiers are afraid that this fire will burn into the city, and they must gather all their forces to put out the fire first. How can you take care of us! Qi Ziyu pulled her back, but he was also a little puzzled, "But this fire was not arranged by me, and it will not be set by my people, I'm afraid there are still people helping in secret." ”
"Anyone else to help? Shouldn't Long Wei's actions be kept very secretive? If you can know, I'm afraid the only one is the one above! Yan Yiyun listened to him deny it. More confused. "There are still other princes who already know your identity. Deliberately following you? ”
"No matter who it is, anyway, we arrived in the capital smoothly, and after a few days, we will interrogate these people clearly and then present them to the emperor, and everything will be settled!" Qi Ziyu's eyes were gloomy, and he didn't know what he remembered, so he pretended to be relaxed and said.
Yan Yiyun also heard what he meant, but he only felt that today's events were quite strange, and maybe it was a secret. I didn't ask any more, and I had a lot of time away from Beijing. She actually missed it a little, looking out at the bustling traffic in the capital through the shield of the car curtain, where could she imagine that there was such a miserable human purgatory in the north.
The two extremes are in the same country, is the governance of the superior merit or incompetence? is the same person, born in different places, and the encounters will be very different, and then thinking of Yu'er, who disappeared later, Yan Yiyun felt even more awkward in her heart, if that simple girl was born here, I am afraid that she would not have suffered this pain.
"How?" Qi Ziyu rubbed her eyebrows and asked softly.
"There was a girl who was kidnapped by those people like me, and then she helped me a little, but a few days before your attack, she suddenly disappeared, I asked Minggu, she didn't tell me where the girl was, now I think about it I always feel a little uneasy, if you go to interrogate Minggu, can you ask her whereabouts by the way."
"Okay, what's her name?" Qi Ziyu didn't pause at all, and immediately agreed, although he didn't know if Yan Yiyun's uneasiness was because of kindness and unbearable, or because of something else, in short, she frowned and worried, he would immediately complete it for her.
"Her name is Yu'er, and that Aunt Ming always coaxed her to say that if she marries a rich family in the capital, she can wear gold and silver, and enjoy all the glory and wealth, so she later believed in Aunt Ming's words, when I was kidnapped by that person that day, the effect of the soft tendons was already obvious, so I didn't hear it very clearly, but, as if the person mentioned that Yu'er was sent away, I guess, they sent a good control and good appearance away first, just in case." Yan Yiyun was not in a coma that day, but it was a little vague, but now that I think about it, there is indeed such a thing.
"These people are not ordinary human traffickers, they are going to send all the kidnapped girls to various mansions to find out the news, and make eyeliner for them, if there are no extraordinary means, how can those girls be obedient, I guess they are poisoned, but these people were arrested by you, and there is no antidote to send them over on time, where do they have any way to live, no matter what other people are, just because Yu'er helped me in the dungeon at the beginning, I don't want her to fall into that situation."
"I know, I'll naturally ask them when I try them, don't worry, but these people are just pawns, the people behind the scenes didn't show their heads, and those girls naturally won't become wastes if they want to come, and someone else will take over, and don't forget, the trafficking leader can run away!" Qi Ziyu thought of the person who dared to kidnap Yan Yiyun and threaten him, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, the ends of the earth would not let him die happily.
"The person behind the scenes, do you think it would be a coincidence that the Seven Princes suddenly appeared at the city gate today?" Yan Yiyun lowered her head and thought for a long time before suddenly saying, staring at Qi Ziyu with burning eyes, the other party seemed to guess her suspicions, and nodded knowingly.
"He did appear too coincidentally, as soon as something happened over there, he made a move, but it was too obvious for people to suspect, otherwise if it was really manipulated by him, this behavior would be too eager, as if he was afraid that others would not know." Qi Ziyu also looked outside, but said in his mouth.
"Who could that be? Abducted and sold girls from poor families outside to the capital, and sent them to the official mansion with good looks to inquire about the news, what news is it for, and who is it for? And who already has them in their homes? Yan Yiyun connected the doubts little by little, but in the end it was a bigger mystery, she only knew that the people behind the scenes were unpredictable, but she didn't have a clue what to do with these people.
