Chapter 180: Captured

In fact, long before Wang Shouye arrived, Qian Qi had already dispatched the internal guards who were not on duty in the West Cross Courtyard to search for Xu Huaizhi's traces.

When Bai Changqi heard the news and rushed to the Yamen, he sent two hundred additional guards into the city.

At around 8:00 a.m., more than 100 officials and white servants from Shuntian Mansion also joined the search team.

At that time, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division allocated 200 patrols......

These little 700 people spent most of the day, almost turning Sichengfang upside down, but they didn't even find the slightest clue.

It's as if Xu Huaizhi disappeared out of thin air!

The atmosphere in the council chamber also became more and more solemn as time went by.

"If you can't find it again, I'm afraid you can only send more people overnight to carry out a city-wide search! Otherwise, after Xu Huaizhi's legs are recovered, not to mention going out of the city, he will directly fight out of the encirclement, and no one will be able to stop him! ”

The person who spoke was Hu Xianzhong, the commander-in-chief of the foreign guard.

Although the responsibility for Xu Huaizhi's escape this time was mainly in the West Cross Courtyard, the guards in charge of patrolling failed to discover Xu Huaizhi's tricks in time, and naturally they couldn't escape the relationship.

Therefore, at the moment, except for Qian Qi, he is the most urgent.

Ma Gui hesitated: "But now there has been a big move, if you really want to expand the search scope to the whole process, but in the end you still find nothing, I'm afraid it won't end well." ”

I heard Zhou Wusheng say again: "Maybe, then Xu Huaizhi would have escaped from the city a long time ago - otherwise, how could he have rummaged through Sichengfang and still gained nothing?" ”

Ma Gui doesn't matter, Wu Sheng's words this week sound like he is talking about things at first glance, but the schadenfreude can't be concealed.

Hu Xianzhong glared at him angrily, but as a martial artist, he didn't have a special status like Wang Shouye, so he didn't dare to go against him in person.

"Probably still in the city."

Zhao Kui was at the bottom of the throne and cautiously interjected: "Because it has snowed heavily for several days in a row, the transportation is inconvenient, and there are not many people rushing out of the city in the morning - then Xu Huaizhi wants to get through the customs in a fool's way, I'm afraid it will not be so easy." ”

"!"

Hu Xianzhong was so angry when he heard this, he jumped up suddenly, stomped his feet and scolded: "Since you haven't gone out of the city, can this living dead with a broken leg still be able to fly to the sky?!" Or does he have any other accomplices? ”

"The living dead can't fly."

At this time, I suddenly heard the first king Shouye muttering: "But what if you don't live? ”

"Not alive?"

Everyone was a little stunned when they heard this.

If Xu Huaizhi is a dead person, what else is there to find?

Or Zhao Kui reacted faster, and after being stunned for a moment, he suddenly blurted out: "Nursing home?!" ”

"That's right."

Wang Shouye also Huo Ran got up and said categorically: "It's a nursing home!" ”

…………

The meaning of the nursing home is to take care of the orphans and help the poor.

At the time of the Yuan Dynasty, there was such an institution in Kyoto, but the Mongols naturally did not have any intention of helping the world and saving the people, so this nursing home was also useless.

In the early years of this dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, expanded the almshouse and extended it to the prefectures and counties of the country.

Secluded for 200 years.

The scale of Jiminwon's today has not changed much compared to the beginning, but the reputation is polarized.

More than 1,000 orphans were adopted in the hospital, which can be called a great good government of this dynasty.

But at the same time, the widows and outcasts were afraid of it, and would rather freeze to death in the streets than enter the hospice.

Of course, after they froze to death on the streets, they still had to be sent to this almshouse, because another main duty of the sanatorium was to collect the unclaimed corpses in the city.

On the evening of the third day of October.

The group wept and came to the Yizhuang attached to the nursing home.

Due to this year's bumper grain harvest, the price of soju in the city has also dropped a lot, and people who are greedy for cups are drunk on the streets, and it is not uncommon for them to be unable to sleep since then.

The miscellaneous servants guarding Yizhuang had long been accustomed to this, rubbing their hands together and getting up slowly, and just as they were about to interrogate a few words, a piece of broken silver was stuffed into the palm of their hand.

The handyman was turned around and carefully identified.

When he turned back again, he changed his compassionate face and said mournfully: "Everyone, please come with me." ”

When he turned around, he found that there was a burly man among them, carrying a hemp rope in his hand, and the hemp rope seemed to be tied to his head.

What kind of custom is this?

The miscellaneous servant glanced at him suspiciously, but for the sake of the silver, he didn't speak rashly, and directly led these people to the southeast corner of Yizhuang, pointed to a few thin-skinned coffins and said: "The newly collected corpses in the past two days are all here, what age and how big are you going to find?" ”

"Yes...... It's the father-in-law of the slave family. ”

A little woman flashed out of the crowd, hiding half of her face and sobbing: "It's nearly sixty years old this year." ”

Tut~

What a life this little woman had......

The handyman peeked twice, and sighed: "It's all this age, why do you come out on a snowy day?" ”

As he spoke, he pushed open one of the coffins.

But before everyone could see it clearly, he hurriedly covered it again.

"Wrong, wrong, this is the corpse deposited by Shuntianfu."

He turned around, pushed open another coffin, and said with a grin: "Recognize it, there is only this one in the old road." ”

When the man carrying the twine brick heard this, he immediately stepped forward quickly, and while looking in, he quietly put the brick into the coffin by covering it with his body.

"Huh?! You're ......."

Seeing this, the handyman frowned and was about to scold, but someone behind him had already held him up, covered his mouth and nose and dragged him aside.

"Father-in-law!"

Li Rusong turned his head from the coffin and said excitedly: "Sure enough, it's Xu Huaizhi!" ”

Wang Shouye came out from behind and looked into the coffin.

I saw Xu Huaizhi lying peacefully inside, his eyes half-open and half-closed, full of confusion and confusion - and what made him so powerless was the demon mark that Li Rusong put on his ankle.

It turned out that after this guy escaped from the Shanhai Prison, he came to perform in his true colors: mixed among the homeless people on the street, pretended to be a corpse that died of cold and starvation, and then was brought back to Yizhuang by the people of the almshouse.

It's really cunning.

If he is allowed to lie in Yizhuang for two or three days and heals the injury on his leg, he will really have to escape from the heavens of escape.

Wang Shouye gave an order, and the internal guards who followed him first carefully tied the demon seal to his ankle, and then wore leather gloves and carried Xu Huaizhi out of the coffin.

"Your Excellency!"

Zhang Sijin asked with relief: "Shall we go back to the yamen now, or ......?"

"There's no hurry."

Wang Shouye waved his hand, his eyes fell on the coffin that was originally opened, and he raised his chin and said, "Open this coffin and take a look." ”

[Originally, this method of getting out was going to be written well, but in the last chapter, this chapter said that it was seen through, and it always felt awkward to write it again, and I wanted to push it back to start over, but I really didn't have a suitable idea, and I also made a foreshadowing before, and I struggled for most of the day, and finally had to abbreviate it - no way, readers are too smart......]
