Volume 1 Chapter 347 Searching for reinforcements
In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, Fu Moyu ordered to speed up the pace and quickly rushed to the Yamen of the Hailin Prefect's Mansion.
Although it is late at night, this is the yamen, and the dignified prefect's yamen does not even have a soldier who keeps vigil.
When I got closer, I saw a dim light pouring down the crack in the closed porter. came out, Fu Moyu's eyes flashed, and he motioned to Chao Ge to knock on the door, Chao Ge knocked three times first, there was no movement inside, Chao Ge slapped the door vigorously, the door opened a little, and an old woman poked her head out of it.
"Y-whom?" The old woman looked at Fu Moyu up and down with a pair of dim old eyes, and with his many years of experience in the gatehouse of the county guard, he recognized that this was the master.
Fu Moyu and the others are all stunned, and there have always been male servants in the concierge, why is this Hailin Prefect's Yamen unique, and he got a mother-in-law to be the concierge? But this is not the time to pursue these, it doesn't matter if he's a manservant or a maid, he just needs to be able to explain the matter.
Chao Ge said: "This is His Royal Highness King Kui and Princess Xie, where are your prefects?" ”
The old woman was startled, and knelt down in a panic, "The old slave knocked on the prince, the prince is a thousand years old and a thousand years old." ”
She also knew that she was a little unfamiliar in the porter, and hurriedly explained: "The old slave is serving in the inner courtyard, and it is the old slave's man who is the porter, and he is sick now, so the old slave comes to serve him-"
Fu Moyu took his hand, "You don't need to explain so much, you get up and talk back, what about the prefect here?" ”
The old woman was still kneeling, not knowing whether she didn't dare to get up or she couldn't get up when she was old, and said tremblingly: "My lord-my lord is dead, according to the county's servant, he was murdered, the prince, the old slave doesn't know anything, the prince spares his life!" ”
She began to kowtow with a bang, begging for mercy.
At this time, her man finally heard the movement, and came out of the room, a trembling old man, who asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?" ”
Chao Ge quickly examined him carefully, and nodded to Fu Moyu when he found that there was no problem.
Fu Moyu's face was even more gloomy, Nie Linyu didn't expect that someone would dare to murder the court official, she and Fu Moyu glanced at each other, the two of them had the same heart, all of this was for their couple, to be precise, for Fu Moyu.
Fu Moyu sneered, "In the past, it was still hidden, but now that this king has just gotten married, he won't even let this king live a good day for his newlyweds." ”
He made a light trip, adding up all the entourage, counting the eunuchs and palace coachmen, there were only more than 100 people, although the guards were the elite of the Kui Wangfu, but if someone came to attack on a large scale, they couldn't resist it at all.
The old man didn't hear what Fu Moyu was saying, but he only knew from his tone that the prince was angry, and saw his wife kneeling on the ground, obviously a big official, so he couldn't stand still, his legs knelt down softly, and he began to kowtow and beg for mercy like his wife. ”
The old man and the old woman nodded frequently, supported each other and stood up, not daring to look at them again, but hurriedly returned to the room, closed the door tightly, and blew out the candles. Die Literature Network
Fu Moyu didn't care, looked up at the black prefect's yamen in the night, the buildings in the depths of the courtyard became more and more like monsters in the dark night, he didn't speak, and his subordinates didn't dare to say a word, in the silence, only the horses brought occasionally snorted, or shook their hooves.
The night breeze is slightly cool, there is a bright moon hanging in the sky, and there are many stars, and I don't know where to blow a burst of flowers and grass fragrance, this kind of late spring and early summer night, it is very pleasant, but at this time no one feels comfortable, only feels endless weird.
Although he knew that the old man and his wife couldn't hear behind their ears, and they didn't dare to eavesdrop, Yan Lai still attached himself to Fu Moyu's ears and deliberately lowered his voice.
"Your Royal Highness, the subordinates have just checked, the garrison here is the princess's family, and it is probably impossible to trust, only the Zhongzi battalion stationed a thousand miles away, the guard there will be a cousin of his subordinates, and his subordinates have already passed the book to him."
"Maybe he's coming with his army." In the last sentence, Yan was very unsure, it was not an ordinary thing to mobilize the defenders, and the defender might not be willing to send troops in the face of his cousin.
If it was Li Wuji himself, he might not be able to kill Fu Moyu, but not necessarily the crown princess, she had always been afraid of Fu Moyu, and in order to ensure that she could become the future queen, she would do everything.
Fu Moyu sighed slightly and began to calculate the next response.
A thousand miles away, it was the guard general who was willing to send troops immediately, and it would take more than a day to come here, not to mention, he might not be able to send troops, you must know that the southern country is very strict about the transfer of soldiers and generals, and it needs to go through a lot of procedures.
There are no complete procedures for the transfer of troops, even if he is a prince and a prince, I am afraid that he is helpless.
"Take the map." He commanded in a deep voice.
They were in front of the prefect's door at this time, and did not enter or exit, Chaoge took the map out of the oiled paper bag, commanded a few guards to light torches, and ordered two guards to turn their backs and bow down, use their backs as a temporary table, and spread the map on it.
Fu Moyu carefully examined and pondered.
At this time, Yan Lai took a few guards to carefully inspect the entire prefect's yamen, and came back to report: "Your Royal Highness, the entire prefect's mansion, there is no one in the front and back yards, and not a single live mouth has been found. ”
Fu Moyu said in a deep voice: "It's normal to not be able to find it, since the prefect has been murdered, his family and subordinates have fled, and there is no need to pursue these." ”
Needless to say, everyone knows that the most important thing now is how to deal with possible enemies, not to worry about the whereabouts of the prefect's family.
Their biggest hope is that Yan Lai's cousin, but even if he can come, it will be a day or two at the earliest, in case someone wants to come to ask for Fu Moyu's life during this period of time, they are now more than 100 people, except for the palace maids, eunuchs, coachmen, etc., the remaining guards may not be able to protect the two masters.
Moreover, since the other party has such a layout, he is naturally prepared, others may not dare to kill the prince, but the crown princess has no scruples.
Fu Moyu held Nie Linyu's hand, "I'll send someone to send you to the garrison mansion, you are the princess of the emperor of the northern kingdom, and your father-in-law will not dare to slack off even if the southern kingdom is powerful, and the princess will not dare, as long as there is someone among them who understands, they can't really take your life, if they don't understand, you try to make them understand." ”
