Chapter 55: City-wide Search
In this way, through Zhang Rang's secret push, everyone in the court thought that it was the murder committed by Zhao Yun.
You don't even need to be caught in the prison for interrogation, you can directly cut it first and then play.
It is estimated that Zhang Rang is worried that if Zhao Yun is caught, he will say something unfavorable to him.
And he also issued a reward in his personal name, whoever can bring Zhao Yun's head to him, he will give that person a thousand taels of gold, and include it under his command, so that he can prosper.
I have to say that Zhang Rang's reward is more attractive than the one awarded by the imperial court to catch Zhao Yun and reward 100 gold.
At the same time, in order to prevent someone from protecting Zhao Yun and hiding him, Zhang Rang also issued an order: But there are those who do not report it, harbor the murderers, and wipe out the nine clans.
Just after so many orders were issued, the entire Luoyang City suddenly became lively.
The officers and soldiers in the city went door to door to find Zhao Yun's whereabouts, and even some people in the market began to use their own means to get busy.
Zhang Rang was also worried that Zhao Yun would take advantage of the chaos to escape from the city, so he had already asked people to close the four gates.
The current Luoyang City is a tightly wrapped iron bucket.
Zhao Yun can't fly out even if he puts on his wings, and it will be a matter of time before he finds him.
Xue Yun returned to the inn and saw Luoyang City, which was not calm, and uneasy emotions welled up in his heart.
At the same time, Xue Yun was also glad that he asked Wen Chou to disguise some of the soldiers and sneak into the city.
If it is one step later and the city gate is sealed, there will be only two people, him and Wen Chou, and trying to find out Zhao Yun is not much different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
At this moment, Wen Chou walked into Xue Yun's room.
said, "Lord, we have found nearly forty percent of Luoyang City, but we still haven't found General Zhao. At the same time, Zhang Rang's minions were also searching for other places, but they still found nothing. ”
Xue Yun knew that his soldiers and horses, coupled with the original soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, had basically turned Luoyang City upside down.
But even with such an intensive search method, he still didn't find Zhao Yun's shadow, which also made it difficult for Xue Yun.
It's just that he is now sure that Zhao Yun has not escaped from the city, and is still hiding somewhere in the city, but he has not been found by them yet.
Thinking of this, Xue Yun came to the table, and there was a map of Luoyang on it.
Xue Yun looked at the map and said to Wen Chou, "Wen Chou, point out the area you have checked, as well as the area that they have checked, on the map." ”
Wen Chou told all the information he knew on the map.
After Xue Yun heard what he said, he frowned slightly and said, "In this way, the entire Luoyang City has almost been searched." Except for the palace where His Majesty is located, almost... ”
Xue Yue suddenly stopped when he said this, because he found that there was still one place that had not been investigated-the prison.
No, it should be a prison to be exact.
The palace is full of Zhang Rang's minions, and Zhao Yun is not familiar with the people there, going there is tantamount to throwing himself into a net.
And the other place that I didn't look for was the prison.
Because it was a place where the most heinous criminals were held, although the defense was tight, Zhao Yun had been there once after all.
To say that in this Luoyang City, maybe Zhao Yun is only familiar with that place.
And the most dangerous place is the safest place.
No one would have thought that the murderer they were looking for with great fanfare would actually escape to the prison without realizing it.
But on the other hand, the heavenly prison that made people talk about it became Zhao Yun's talisman.
Thinking of this, Xue Yun hurriedly asked Wen Chou to take the soldiers and go to the prison with him.
Because he had a feeling in the dark, Zhao Yun was there, and if he went late, he might never see Zhao Yun again.
Xue Yun and his party rode on fast horses and ran directly in the direction of the heavenly prison.
Those officers and soldiers who were still searching for Zhao Yun's whereabouts on the street saw Yuan Shao and others rushing towards them quickly, and hurriedly took refuge on both sides of the road.
Although Xue Yun did this a little excessively, those officers and soldiers did not dare to say a word.
It was because of Yuan Shao's identity that they could only smash their front teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
Xue Yun and his entourage came to the prison in a hurry, and the officers and soldiers in charge of guarding them ran up and asked, "Gong Yuan, may I ask why you came to the prison?" ”
The prison is full of the most vicious prisoners in this world, all of them have been sentenced to death, but because some things have been delayed, they will not be their turn for a while, so they are locked up here.
And that Qiao Zhong was because he was too important, and he was afraid that he would make a mistake in an ordinary prison, so he locked him up in the prison.
Xue Yun said, "It's nothing, it's just that because of Qiao Zhong, the protector of the Yellow Turban Army, my father suddenly remembered that there were some things to ask a thing or two, so I planned to come to the prison to ask clearly." ”
Xue Yun didn't dare to tell the truth, because it would be tantamount to saying that he knew where Zhao Yun was, but he didn't enlighten the emperor.
Instead, he came to find someone privately, which can't help but make people a little confused.
Because about the imperial list, there is also Zhang Rang's reward order, which is nothing to a person of Yuan Shao's status.
This is equivalent to a billionaire, because a person with a bounty of 100,000 worked tirelessly to arrest him.
If you say it, maybe no one will believe it.
The officer and soldier said, "I'm sorry Yuan Gong, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, unless there is a holy decree to open the prison, no one else has the right to enter the prison." ”
Because the prison is a special place after all, if anyone can come, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules?
Xue Yun directly took out the token that belonged to him, and said coldly, "Isn't this okay?" ”
When the officer and soldier saw the token, they quickly got down on their knees.
In addition to reflecting Yuan Shao's identity, this token also has another role - such as bowing to my relatives.
This can be regarded as a great honor for the emperor to give the Yuan family.
Xue Yun said again, "Then can I go in?" ”
The officer and soldier were also honest at the moment, and hurriedly said, "Yes, please open the prison door." ”
Xue Yun didn't let everyone go in with him, but just let Wen Chou follow him.
Walking into the prison, Xue Yun directly asked the officers and soldiers to take him to the door of the cell where Qiao Zhong was held, and then gave the officer and soldier some silver taels and let him leave.
Qiao Zhong looked at Yuan Shao, not knowing why he appeared here at this time.
Xue Yun just said coldly, "I'll only ask once, if you don't say it, I'll make your life worse than death." ”
Qiao Zhong was frightened by Yuan Shao's words, because he knew that Yuan Shao hated the Yellow Turban Army the most.
And he is in this capacity, he knows that if his answer does not satisfy Yuan Shao, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Qiao Zhong hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I must know everything, and I must say everything." ”
Xue Yun said, "Is Zhao Yun here?" ”
Just as Qiao Zhong was about to answer, a scream suddenly came from the end of this prison.
Xue Yun knew that the voice was Zhao Yun.
