Chapter 282: Escape
When Lu Qingrong heard this, he couldn't hide his surprise.
"Where did the people sent by Mrs. Wu go?" Lu Qingrong knew that Jiang Xuan had arranged for someone to follow.
"Lost it." Jiang Xuan told the truth.
Lu Qingrong felt incredulous.
"When they go out of Beijing, they take the official road, speed up their horses, and travel day and night." Jiang Xuan explained: "The road is already wide and unobstructed, so it's okay to say during the day, but at night, our people really can't follow too closely. At first, I thought they were going to Zhangqiu, but I didn't think about it, and when our people chased them along the road, they couldn't find any traces! ”
Lu Qing was bored: "I didn't go to Zhangqiu...... Where else can you go? ”
"It's true that they entered the territory of Shandong, and now they have to look over there." Jiang Xuan was quite helpless, "There is no news yet." ”
"Maybe we thought too much, but those people didn't want to go to Zhangqiu to destroy the evidence." Lu Qingrong comforted.
Jiang Xuan smiled bitterly, but did not refute.
In fact, at this time, both Jiang Xuan and Lu Qingrong were a little inexplicably worried.
If Mrs. Wu's purpose is not Zhang Qiu, not Mrs. Jiang's relics, then what will it be?
There has been no news for many days.
One day, Yanbei hurriedly came over and said that the prince came back with a message, asking his wife not to wait for him to eat, and it was not certain whether he would return home in the evening.
When Lu Qingrong heard it at first glance, he thought that something was going on in Shandong, so he hurriedly asked, "Where did the prince go?" ”
Yanbei looked dazed, and replied truthfully: "Mrs. Hui, the prince only said that he didn't have to wait for him, and nothing else was mentioned." ”
After speaking, Yanbei immediately added: "It's a message from Yu Linwei's people." ”
"Yu Lin Wei?" Lu Qingrong's eyebrows tightened.
It seems that I'm afraid that something serious is really happening.
Jiang Xuan is now recuperating in the mansion, and Yu Linwei's daily affairs are handled by Cui Yan, the commander of the same knowledge, and in the past few days, I haven't seen anything that Jiang Xuan needs to do personally.
And now, he is also busy, and he may not return all night......
Lu Qingrong waved his hand to let Yanbei retreat, and paced in the house by himself.
"Do you want the slave to inquire?" Lu Zhu watched from the side, and he was also anxious.
Lu Qingrong hesitated for a moment before he said, "Forget it." Since it was Yu Linwei who brought a letter, it must be a matter of the DPRK and China, let's not follow and add to the chaos, let's wait for the prince to come back! ”
And this wait, directly waited until the next day.
Jiang Xuan really didn't return all night, and when he came back, it was already the evening of the next day.
I saw that his face was solemn, and he didn't change his clothes immediately when he entered the house, and he still seemed to be a little absent-minded.
"What's wrong?" Lu Qingrong asked tentatively.
"Sato ran away." Jiang Xuan's tone was helpless, with a hint of anger.
"Ran away?" Lu Qingrong was only shocked, "Isn't it already handed over properly and locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department?" Where did it run from? ”
"I ran from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment." Jiang Xuan did not hide it.
Lu Qingrong chuckled in his heart, and finally knew what Jiang Xuan was doing this day and night, and asked carefully: "That...... Have you ever been caught? ”
Jiang Xuan shook his head: "When I got the news yesterday, the emperor was furious, and immediately reprimanded Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and asked him to make meritorious service for his crimes, and immediately sent people from the Criminal Department to find it." At the same time, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and Yu Linwei also dispatched a lot of people, divided into several routes, and pursued them with all their might. But until now, it has been in vain. ”
"You're on the hunt too?" Lu Qingrong obviously asked knowingly.
"Hmm." Jiang Xuan nodded, "Cui Yan and I, each with a hundred Lin Wei, went out of the city to search, I went in the direction of Mobei, and there was no trace of Sato, and the Beijing official was not allowed to leave the Shuntian Mansion without an order, and I couldn't continue to chase it anymore." ”
Lu Qingrong frowned, feeling that this matter was not optimistic: "If he also has horses, it will not be easy to catch up." I wonder when he escaped? ”
Jiang Xuan let out a long sigh and said, "The most terrible thing is that I don't know when Sato ran away now!" ”
"The people in the prison of the Criminal Department don't know either?" Lu Qingrong couldn't understand.
"Exactly." Jiang Xuan told the truth, "The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is a person who knows the severity of the matter, so he will send his subordinates to Sato's prison every day to check, and yesterday was the time to check, only to find that the prison was already empty, and when he ran away, no one even knows!" ”
"Didn't you say that the prison of the Criminal Department was very tightly guarded?"
"That's right. After the incident, all the officials and jailers of the Penal Department Prison were detained and interrogated. Except for the two guards in charge of Sato's cell, who were attacked and killed, the other jailers all said that they did not see anyone escape, and they were all the same as usual! At this moment, the interrogation is still going on, and there must be something strange about Sato just disappearing into thin air. ”
When Lu Qingrong heard this, he also felt that this matter was really a bit mysterious.
"Could it be a self-theft? Someone in prison should be with Sartori? Lu Qingrong thought wildly.
"I don't know yet. However, the criminal department is still in the mood to make meritorious contributions, and the trial should be able to achieve some results. Jiang Xuan seemed to be talking to himself.
And the facts were really said by Jiang Xuan.
That night, the results were there.
After a series of detailed interrogations, among the jailers on duty, someone finally recalled a small incident that happened that day.
On the day of Sato's disappearance, there was an official who was not on duty and had been seen in the prison of the Criminal Department.
It was the one who was from the criminal department of Jiupin, Song Shixiang.
When Lu Qingrong heard this, he was really shocked.
And when Jiang Xuan brought back the news, there was no relief on his face.
"He wouldn't be so bold, would he?" Lu Qingrong couldn't believe it.
"Now Sato's whereabouts are still nowhere to be found, and any possible suspicions cannot be missed. Since Song Shixiang had appeared in prison, he naturally wanted to investigate. ”
"What did he do in prison?" Lu Qingrong couldn't help but ask.
"He said that there was a water leak in the duty room, and he led someone to fix it." Jiang Xuan didn't know in much detail.
It's just that this reveals the message of "receiving someone", whether it is Jiang Xuan himself or Lu Qingrong, they all feel that whether they have it intentionally or unintentionally, Sato's escape from prison may have nothing to do with Song Shixiang.
Now we are waiting for the outcome of Song Shixiang's trial.
But I didn't want to, when the Criminal Department sent someone to the Chengping Marquis Mansion to raise people, it was empty, and Song Shixiang was completely missing.
Song Shixiang has not returned all night.
Everyone in the Chengping Marquis Mansion, including He Qingwan, didn't know where he went. R1152
