Chapter 70: In Peril
Chapter 70: In Danger
Although the power in Huguang is far inferior to that of Dongchang, it is not difficult to find one or two hiding places, and in less than an hour, Brother Erdan arranged this matter properly. Eight?? A Chinese network ?.
"Erdan, you arrange it and let everyone evacuate here in batches, otherwise the goal will be too big." Looking at his subordinates who came and went to pack up his things, Shen Chongming's brows couldn't help frowning.
Although he found a secret place to hide, Wuchang City is only one acre and three points of land, and Lei Leopard has made great efforts to investigate, and with the power of Dongchang, he can't hide for long at all.
Looking at Shen Chongming's expression, Brother Erdan, who was originally quite calm, couldn't help but worry. "My lord, why don't you go to Huguang Dusi for a few days first, then Lei Leopard won't dare to act rashly."
Shen Chongming shook his head, "No, if it's really like what we guessed, the officials in this Huguang realm are all suspicious right now, and Dusi Yujiao should be the target of their wooing." If we go, it is very likely that we will be caught in the net. ”
"What can I do?" Brother Erdan said anxiously, the more uneasy he became, he couldn't even believe the Lord Huguang Dusi, who held the military power, and the matter was getting more and more serious.
"Hehe, let's take a step at a time, and get out of here first." Shen Chongming said with a wry smile, maybe the situation is not so much at all, but it is just to scare himself.
The hiding place was a small courtyard not far from the city wall, and at night, under the leadership of Brother Erdan, more than a dozen school captains escorted Shen Chongming with a nervous expression and rushed here. As for the men and horses behind, they were all scattered around. Not far away, not close, neither will be caught by the thunder leopard, but also can take care of each other.
"My lord, my subordinates think that as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow morning, we will leave the city, staying here is not a long-term solution." Looking at the dark city wall, Brother Erdan said to Shen Chongming worriedly. The silence of the night added to the unsettling atmosphere.
Shen Chongming nodded, "Well, what you said makes sense, you will send someone to the city gate early tomorrow morning to have a look, in case the people from Dongchang are waiting for us at the city gate." ”
Hearing this, Brother Erdan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, afraid that the adults would have to insist on staying in the city to handle the case. As long as you go out of the city, even if you are present, you can have room to maneuver.
Besides, Lei Leopard made a plan to get rid of Shen Chongming and Liu Shouyou in front of Zhu Yiluan, and immediately began to arrange it, the first thing to do was to monitor the whereabouts of the two of them, and do it as soon as the opportunity is right.
However, the news that came later made Lei Bao frown, "You mean that the people of Jinyi Wei have disappeared?" ”
"Yes, the brothers who were sent to watch over them saw that there was no one in front of the door, so they dared to climb over the wall and go in to check, and now there was no one in the courtyard." The subordinate replied.
"Brother Cheng, what do you think about this matter?" Lei Bao turned his head to look at Cheng Jingye.
"Brother Lei, it seems that Shen Chongming and Liu Shouyou have already taken precautions and hidden, we have to hurry up on this matter, otherwise the big thing will not be good." Cheng Jingye couldn't help but worry at this time, he originally thought that Shen Chongming didn't know much, otherwise he would not have been able to come to Wuchang alone. But judging from the current situation, including Shen Chongming and Liu Shouyou, the Jinyi guards in Wuchang City must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise if the news leaks, it will be useless to kill them again.
Lei Leopard nodded, "From this point of view, I'm afraid that these two people will want to get out of the city when they see that the situation is not good." Whoever comes, immediately inquire about the brothers we have arranged at the gates of the city, and see any people in brocade clothes going out of the city today. In addition, he gathered people to secretly search the whole city, and it was necessary to find the hiding place of Shen Chongming and Liu Shouyou. They weren't there so long ago, so they wouldn't have been out of the city so soon. ”
"Brother Lei, can you find them this night?" Cheng Jingye pondered for a while and asked.
"It's hard to say, although the strength of Jinyiwei in Wuchang Mansion is not strong, it is not difficult to find a hiding place to avoid people's eyes, and it is not easy to find their traces in one night." Lei Leopard shook his head and said.
Cheng Jingye nodded, "Since this is the case, then we have to prevent them from slipping out of the city, and it is best to close the city gate from tomorrow, so that it will be much easier to catch turtles in the urn." ”
"This ...... It is not easy to close the city gate, and the commander of the commander Yu Jiao is an old slippery head, and he is persuaded to close the city gate, for fear that it will arouse suspicion. Lei Bao frowned slightly, Yu Jiao was too tactful, and he had always been vague about Feng Bao's wooing, neither agreeing nor offending, which showed his cleverness. Now that he suddenly rushed to let him close the city gate, it would definitely arouse his suspicions, and if he showed Shen Chong's name, then things would be even worse.
"Hehe, it's useless for him to have no doubts, there is no big movement in the city now, I'm afraid that Shen Chongming and Liu Shouyou will even suspect him, if we say that he closes the city gate, the people of Jinyi Wei will definitely think that he is really our one of the way, so that he will have to follow in the future." Cheng Jingye looked proud, and took advantage of the situation, first got Lei Leopard and then had a surplus prison, adding two major boosts, and the rest of the things would be much easier.
"Hehe, Brother Cheng is very scheming, and the people you are worried about are not spared." Lei Bao smiled bitterly, he fell to this point, I am afraid that it is also Cheng Jingye's strategy.
Cheng Jingye smiled, exposed the topic and said: "Without further ado, Brother Lei will use your identity as the head of the East Factory to ask Yu Jiao to cooperate in arresting the key criminal, and he will not dare to disobey." ”
"Okay, I'll send someone to inform him first, I'll go there in person early tomorrow morning, and I won't dare to refuse him." Lei Leopard stood up and said.
"Okay, that little brother will go to the Yamen of the Political Secretary first, without the cooperation of Lord Wang, I am afraid that this Yu Prison will not obediently obey orders." Cheng Jingye stood up and said with a smile, arched his hand and went out.
"My lord, someone from Dongchang is here to ask to see you." Just after a punch, before Yu Jian took off his shoes and soaked his feet, the voice of the guard came from outside the door.
"Let him in, and the officer will be there." sighed, Yu Jiao, who was nearly fifty years old, frowned, and the stars were coming, and it must be no good thing.
Dressed neatly out of the door, looking at the guards in front of the door, Yu Jiao asked as he walked forward, "Xiaohu, how many people are here?" ”
"My lord, just the two of them, looking unkind, I'm afraid nothing good." Xiaohu's full name is Chen Hu, he is twenty years old but he is already the leader of Yu Gao's guards, in addition to his outstanding fist and foot kung fu, Yu Jiao appreciates his wit and simplicity more. You must know that although it is convenient to have a lot of hearts around you, you have to be on guard against everything, and you are tired and tired all day long.
"Alas, what is this thunder leopard coming to our Wuchang for?" I don't understand, Yu Jiao doesn't bother to think about it anymore, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and he will follow.
Entering the living room, looking at the fan sitting there with the big horse golden knife, Yu Jiao couldn't help but feel annoyed, and after getting rid of this skin, he was just a few ruffians and hooligans who were wandering the streets!
Although he was eager to pull out and hit a hundred military sticks per person, Yu Jiao's face was full of smiles, "The two high-ranking officials are here, and the official is rude, it's really rude, hehe." ”
"Lord Yu is polite, there is no need, my brothers and I came this time on the orders of the head of the Lei stall. Wuchang City entered the rebel party, and now there is no trace of hiding in the city, in order to arrest them, the big stall head asked to close the city gate tomorrow, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. A fan cowhide said coaxingly, simply to put Yu Prison in his eyes.
"You say that if you close the gates, you will close the gates, but what will happen to the merchants and people in the city?" Looking at the two of them with such a commanding look, Chen Hu couldn't help but get angry, Lord Dusi is a member of the second grade, how can they be arrogant in front of them?
"Presumptuous, I have my own rules for handling cases in Dongchang, how can I allow you to be a little guard here. If you run away from the rebels, how can you afford it? Fanzi was full of emotion, and he didn't care about the rest of the prison in front of him.
"Hehe, this guard is young and has never seen the world, and I ask the two lords not to remember the villain, don't worry about him." Yu Jiao accompanied him with a smile, and then said with a look of embarrassment: "The official has no opinion on this matter, but the matter of closing the city gate is not small, and the political secretary and the yamen do not agree, and the official does not dare to make an opinion." ”
The two fans glanced at each other, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Lord Yu, don't worry, you only need to send more people to martial law at each city gate tomorrow morning, and my family's big stall will naturally be arranged by the Chief Minister." ”
Yu Jiao's eyes rolled, and it seemed that this matter could not be pushed away. "Well, after receiving the official letter from the Chief Minister, the Japanese official will be under martial law and will go out of the city, and the rebellious party will never be allowed to escape from the city."
"Hehe, that's fine. Lord Yu has worked hard, and my brothers will definitely say a few kind words for you in front of the big stall when they go back. Fanzi had a generous expression on his face, and Chen Hu, who was standing on the side, almost endured to the limit.
"Hehe, then the official will thank the two of you for the errand." Yu Jiao accompanied the smiling face, and the two fans were extremely satisfied, and sure enough, the country officials had not seen anything in the world, and he was frightened by a few words.
Seeing the two of them walk out, Chen Hu couldn't help but say, "My lord, why are you so polite to them, just beat them away." ”
"Hehe, two lackeys who don't know the depths, and they really insult your and my identities." The smile on Yu Gao's face did not decrease, "It's just that where did this rebel party come from, and how did it appear in Wuchang City?" ”
"My lord, these people in Dongchang are the best at planting blame, but I'm afraid that someone will be indiscriminately buttoned up." Chen Hu said with a look of disdain, it was just a group of villains.
Yu Jiao's eyes widened, and he said with some displeasure: "Xiaohu, how many times has this official told you, you must be cautious in officialdom, you are always so open-mouthed, and sooner or later you will get into trouble." If they provoke you today, and then they will charge you with a crime, how can you let this official save you? ”
"My lord, it's just that I can't get angry." Chen Hu scratched his head and smiled, knowing that adults cared about him.
"Well, what a long memory." Yu Jiao looked like he hated iron but not steel, "You go to find out, who are the people in Dongchang looking for, we can't be used as guns by them so unexplained." ”
"Yes, let's do it." Chen Hu answered, turned around and was about to do this matter, but before he could get out of the door, he was called back by Yu Jiao.
"Xiaohu, why is there no movement over there in Jinyiwei?" Yu Jiao frowned and asked, according to his own information, a team of more than 100 Jinyi guards entered the city today, if there is really any opposition to the party, then they must also come for this matter, but they will not fall behind the back of Dongchang.
Xiaohu shook his head, "I don't know about this, the person we arranged said that it was dark and I didn't see anyone going out of Jinyiwei again." ”
"That's right." Yu Jiao nodded, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
