It was already dark outside, and the gates were to be closed, and within an hour they had to hurry up before they could enter the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIf you miss the hour, you will have to wait until the next day when the gates open before you can enter the city.

Li Heiniu heard that his uncle Zongze had been wronged and had been imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion, so he hurriedly went to set up a carriage in person, He Zhiyun didn't know what happened Yang Huairen was in a hurry to return to the city, and he also followed.

"I'm going to save people, what are you doing with it? Take care of your mother at home. ”

Yang Huairen thought about it calmly, this matter was actually caused by the internal guards wanting to arrest people and find clues, and the three Lianzi brothers had to take them with them, although the identity of their internal guards was now a secret, but maybe it would be of great use when the time came.

Lian Zigeng and a few of them also rode up to follow, Yang Huairen only said that a friend was caught in Kaifeng Mansion by mistake, and the three of them understood what was going on.

Five healthy horses and a carriage galloped out of Yangjiazhuangzi at nightfall, stirring up a cloud of dust on the dirt road out of the village.

The living habits that the Zhuang family has cultivated for thousands of years, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, have already fallen asleep at this time, and there is no light in the various villages on both sides of the official road.

It was the beginning of the month, and the moon was still only a thin arc, and the speed of five horses and a cart was slowing down a lot in such darkness.

When he saw the lights on the west gate from afar, what Yang Huairen was worried about still happened.

The soldiers of the City Gate Division were closing the city gate, and the group saw that there was still a stone's throw to enter the city, and Lin Chong, who was galloping at the front, whipped him fiercely and shouted to the doorman, "Close the door slowly!" ”

The yellow fat horse under his crotch went out of the city in the afternoon, and ran all the way to Yangjia Zhuangzi for thirty or forty miles, without having time to rest for a while, and then turned back from Yangjia Zhuangzi for thirty or forty miles back to the city, which was already beyond his strength, and then urged it to speed up, and the horse was exhausted, and his front hooves could not bear it, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

Fortunately, Lin Chong was young, and with his martial arts, he jumped off the horse in a hurry, flipped over a heel fight, fell to the ground with his head in his hands, and rolled a few laps along the inertia before standing up again.

The horse had broken its leg, his strength had been exhausted, his blood-red eyes were staring, his mouth was foaming, and he was no longer able to do it.

Lin Chong didn't have time to feel sorry for his beloved horse, and when he turned his head to look at the city gate, the two iron gates had been completely closed, making a "clang" sound.

Yang Huairen saw this scene, and he understood Lin Chong's anxious mood very well. Although Zong Ze is also a scholar, but when he enters the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, even if he does not die, he will be stripped of his skin, not to mention Zong Ze's stubborn temperament, maybe he will make a bigger trouble.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Yang Huairen and Li Heiniu asked together. Lin Chong shook his head and said that he was fine, and then looked at the closed city gate, and sighed disappointedly, "It's still a step too late." ”

Lu Jinyi had already rushed to the city gate, and shouted loudly to the officers and soldiers of the City Gate Division on duty on the city gate tower: "Please make it convenient for the military master of the City Gate Division, let us enter the city, and we will be thanked again in the coming day!" ”

But he shouted three times in a row, but the soldiers on the tower of the city gate did not move, and a person who looked like a captain stood up and looked under the city wall, just waved his hand at Lu Jinyi, and shouted arrogantly: "The city gate is closed, you have to enter the city and come back tomorrow!" ”

Lu Jinyi shouted that he couldn't open the city gate, and Li Heiniu and Lin Chong also ran to the door and shouted together, which was useless.

Yang Huairen called Lian Zigeng and asked, "Aren't we internal guards, you go and shout to see if you can let the doorkeeper open the door." ”

Lian Zigeng smiled bitterly: "Special envoy, our internal guard is a special organization, and it is not in the establishment of the military department, unless there is a special will from above, and you can only enter the city with a token given by the empress dowager." ”

Yang Huairen thought about it, the name of the internal guard sounded quite stylish, to put it bluntly, it was a private soldier raised by the empress dowager, and it was not in the army of the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if it is within the establishment, with Lian Zigeng's position as the head of a hundred households, he is only an eight- or nine-grade sesame mung bean official, and if he wants to shout to open the city gate, he is also a toad wearing a coat, and he takes himself too seriously.

But Yang Huairen was still unwilling to give up his efforts, so he thought of another way.

"Why don't you go ahead and show your guard sign?"

"My big official, it's useless to show the sign, how can these little soldiers of the City Gate Division know about the internal guards, and how can they open the door to us when they see a sign they haven't seen before?"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, I'm in a hurry to save people, but I can't even enter the city gate, how can I save it? I don't care, you give me a way, if you can't figure it out, we'll spend it here! ”

Yang Huairen was a scoundrel, Lian Zigeng looked at his two brothers with a sad face, and Lian Zilu and Lian Zizhou also had the same bitter face, saying that there was no way.

Lian Zigeng pondered for a long time, and finally remembered that Yang Huairen was not a big celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager, and his jade brand might be useful.

"My lord, we are humble, and it may not work to show the brand, but you are different, maybe your jade brand can be useful?"

Yang Huairen thought about it along Lian Zigeng's train of thought, and suddenly realized.

Although the internal guard is not in the establishment, but the special status of the internal guard, in the heart of the empress dowager, is actually higher than the status of the forbidden army with the establishment, even Zigeng's bronze plate does not work, it does not mean that his jade brand does not work, there is such a big backer, are you still afraid of the city gate division of an eight-grade door official?

The Terracotta Division and Kaifeng Mansion arrested people, ostensibly to catch a Jiangyang thief, but in fact, it was just that the internal guards found an excuse to find out the person on the portrait who had taken the Nine Heavens Xuantie prisoner.

Then I, Yang Huairen, entered the gate after the city gate was closed, although the purpose was to rescue Zong Ze, who had been wronged, but it was also possible to enter the city ostensibly as the head of the Inner Guard Jin Ju Hall, and it was okay to say that it was to find clues to the Nine Heavens Xuantie.

In this way, even if she pokes the basket, Empress Dowager Gao will not blame me for my best efforts to help her find the baby, and maybe she will think that I am doing my best, and I may not be able to reward her.

Thinking about this, Yang Huairen had an idea, it's a big deal to fool the gate official of the City Gate Division again, anyway, even the Empress Dowager has fooled, is there still a small door official for him?

Yang Huairen stepped forward and patted Lin Chong and the three of them, telling them not to bother, such a shout, even if the shouting broke their throats, people would not care.

The most critical problem is that their door opening code is not right, people's password is mung bean to open the door, you have to shout sesame to open the door, it is absolutely ineffective, it is better to change the way of shouting, let them ignore it.

Looking at the anxious appearance of the three of them rubbing their hands and feet, Yang Huairen took a step forward, cleared his throat, crossed his waist with one hand, took out the jade plate of the chrysanthemum internal guard with the other hand, and raised it, and yelled at the city gate building:

"Listen to the people inside, I'm a special envoy who is ordered to investigate the case, and if you don't want to lose your head, hurry up and open the door!"
